"Brother Party!" Listening to Dang Jin's muttering, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly turned around and looked at him very seriously: "You and I have worked and intersected together, although the time is not long, since the Southern Expedition, many battles have been born and died together, and they have gone to hardships and adventures." The love of the robe can be described as profound! Zhao treats you as a sibling brother, and some words are straightforward, and I hope to listen to them! ”

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly, Dang Jin couldn't help but be stunned, and responded: "Brother Zhao, please speak." ”

Greeting the party and pacing above Luocheng in Yangzhou, Zhao Kuangyin said slowly: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil, the princes have been divided, and in the past few decades, the Central Plains has changed four generations of dynasties, which can be described as extremely chaotic. However, since ancient times, there has been impermanence and chaos, and in the middle of the season, there is a male lord who should come out and open peace again.

In my opinion, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty today is the master of the wise and eloquent. Reform maladministration, pacify Fangzhen, centralize power, rectify the forbidden army, but Hou Shu, quell civil strife, resist Khitan, attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, step by step, all show their wisdom and martial arts.

In this season, when the world is returning from chaos and is in a state of great change, we should wait for the right time, take advantage of the trend, and not stick to the bad habits of three generations......"

"Brother Zhao, let's speak up!" Dang Jin's mind swelled when he heard this, and he couldn't help scratching his head and baring his teeth.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin had a feeling of vain expression, smiled slightly wryly, and said bluntly: "Thinking about the root of the troubled times in the Tang Dynasty, but the power of the feudal town is difficult to control." When today's son wants to change chaos into rule, he must restrain the military ministers, and over the years, the military discipline of the forbidden army has become more and more detailed and strict, which is the evidence. And we should also restrain our behavior in order to achieve good results! ”

Zhao Kuangyin simply said: "Yangzhou is a big city in Huainan, since the whole city has been obtained, it should be dedicated to His Majesty and the court, stabilize the order, and appease the hearts of the people, so that it will be a great achievement." However, once we indulge the soldiers and plunder the people as you said, Yangzhou will be destroyed. Not to mention the loss of people's hearts, a dilapidated Yangzhou city, on the side of the Son of Heaven, is not only useless, but also guilty! ”

At this time, Dang Jin finally reacted and said: "It turns out that Brother Zhao's intention is to let me wait and not rob Yangzhou, to put it bluntly, how can I not obey the order......

Watching the party's reaction, Zhao Kuangyin himself was happy, and shook his head helplessly, he obviously was the wrong person to tell. Raising his finger, he said: "This is not my order, this is His Majesty's edict." In the war of invasion, the people of Huainan were infringed, and it was difficult to protect it. There are tens of thousands of troops going south, no matter what the situation of other armies is, but I, Zhao Kuangyin, will strictly follow His Majesty's edict! But those who violate the order will be killed! ”

In fact, the feudal army of the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to completely do nothing against the people, which was basically impossible, especially the Han army in the south, which was complicated. Even if there is a strict order from the Son of Heaven, the armies below will inevitably have sneaky moves.

After all, fighting in a foreign country, as conquerors, the proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Northern Han Dynasty are indispensable for indulgence. When he was in Haozhou, Zhao Kuangyin experienced an incident in which a team of Han soldiers took advantage of it, disguised as defeated pawns of the Tang army, plundered villagers, and killed hundreds of people. When Guo Rong heard this, he killed all the Han soldiers.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's resolute expression, Dang Jin had no choice but to respond: "Yes!" ”

"Hey!" At the same time, he couldn't help but ask: "It's just that you are not allowed to loot, you can't kill indiscriminately, so the soldiers are fighting with their lives, for what!" In the long run, I'm afraid that the soldiers will be angry! ”

"You've been in the forbidden army for so long, and you haven't listened to the words of those consolation envoys?" Zhao Kuangyin asked rhetorically.

Immediately, without waiting for his answer, he was solemn and said seriously: "The soldiers are fighting, for the country, for the king, for the people, and for the domination of the world!" ”

Seeing that he was a little disapproving, Zhao Kuangyin said again: "As for the military merits of the soldiers, Your Majesty and the imperial court have their own rewards and pensions, after so many years, how can Your Majesty have been short of soldiers in this regard?" ”

"That's just as well!" Dang Jin touched his chin and replied.

Zhao Kuangyin's most admired Liu Chengyou is his control and transformation of the Han Forbidden Army over the past few years. A promising gentleman with a clear mind and sharp eyes is also worth following.

"Yangzhou, this wealth full of cities, Brother Zhao is not tempted at all?" Tut-tut, Dang Jin couldn't help but look at Zhao Kuangyin.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin was full of peace, looked at Dang Jin and chuckled: "To tell you the truth, even if we really loot Yangzhou and spread the soldiers to the Son of Heaven, we will not be too harsh." Even, we will still be rewarded for receiving Yangzhou's merits!

But since then, you and my brother have lost their future! ”

"The city is full of wealth, and it is difficult to move its heart, so I might as well do it!" Dang Jin said.

Between the two words, a military academy suddenly reported: "Qi Yu Jing is a slight envoy, the soldiers in Yizhou are in turmoil, and they are looting in the inner city!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly changed color, was full of anger, and ordered: "Inform Chen Yuanjun and let him bring someone to suppress, otherwise, don't blame Zhao for being polite!" ”

Yangzhou City, after all, failed to completely avoid the military disaster, this is the Han army to the south, occupies the largest place, the largest population, the most abundant wealth of the city, the flowers gradually want to charm the eye.

It was not only the Yizhou soldiers who made the rebellion, but also the Suzhou soldiers who couldn't bear it, and there were some Tang soldiers who surrendered, and they were the most active. Even the ruffians and hooligans in the city, the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods also jumped out.

For such a situation, Zhao Kuangyin naturally did not have the slightest reason to be soft-hearted, and personally led people to suppress it, just one word, kill. Fortunately, the response was timely and tough measures were taken, so that the chaos could not be expanded.

The inner city is the main area of rebellion, after all, officials, wealthy merchants and wealthy people are many here.

The puppet Tang Dongdu stayed in the mansion, and after entering the city, Zhao Kuangyin had a strict order to send troops to garrison and not to intrude, but it still could not be avoided. The name of the Eastern Capital left behind is Zhou Zong, who is very old, and is an old minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his reputation in the Southern Tang Dynasty is not low.

The family gathered in the hall, and the women and children's families were all terrified, and the sound of crying was endless. Zhou Zong had bright hair, but his spirit seemed to be very full, at this time, as a parent, standing in front of his head, his face was fearless, his eyes looked coldly at those Han soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, put down the looted things, and withdrew from the hall in embarrassment.

Zhao Kuangyin came to the hall, glanced at it, took two steps forward, and saluted Zhou Zong: "Duke Zhou is frightened, is it a sin, has the family been harmed?" ”

"Don't dare to be!" Zhou Zongzheng straightened his robe, replied simply, pointed to a cadre of soldiers outside, and said indifferently: "This is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness that Zhao Yuanjun said?" Strict military discipline? is so strong and domineering, in my opinion, it is no different from the brutal martial artists in the world! ”

"It's that Zhao is not strict, please forgive Zhou Gong!" In the face of his ridicule, Zhao Kuangyin looked very calm and said: "Zhao will give Zhou Gong and Yangzhou Shimin an explanation!" ”

At this time, Chen Sirang also came, and he and Zhao Kuangyin were pressed separately. With a gloomy face, when he saw Zhao Kuangyin, he sighed: "Zhao Yuanjun, I have no way to control the army, and I have taken all the officers and soldiers who plundered, and I will dispose of them at your disposal!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin turned around, his eyes were cold, and he directly ordered: "Whether it is a subordinate regiment training in Suzhou or Yizhou, all the officers above the rank of commander will be beheaded, and the rest of the soldiers will have twenty military staffs." The surrendered soldiers, those who participated in the turmoil, and those scoundrels were all taken to the edge of the canal and killed! ”

"Yes!"

Listening to Zhao Kuangyin's order, thousands of heads will fall to the ground, and their color will not change. For this gentleman, Chen Sirang really admired it.

"Zhou Gong, Yangzhou will definitely not be chaotic!" Zhao Kuangyin turned around again, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "However, if you have to work hard for Zhou Gong, I am ready to change places for Zhou Gong's family!" ”

"People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, listen to them!" Zhou Zong listened to Zhao Kuangyin's order and knew that this was not a good person, his old face was slightly pale, but he was stubborn and stubborn.

"Pass the order, Duke Zhou is the elder, go up and down the military academy, don't be humiliated, violators will be beheaded!" led people to retreat, and Zhao Kuangyin ordered loudly.

Dang Jin followed Zhao Kuangyin: "Is it too polite to that old decay?" ”

"Send someone to escort Zhou Zong's family and Yao Feng to the camp and present it to the Son of Heaven!" Zhao Kuangyin raised his hand and commanded.

And staying in the palace, when the Han soldiers retreated, Zhou Zong's family relaxed. Zhou Zong is the same, in the face of a martial artist Qiu Ba, there is really nothing to do, fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin, the main general of the Han army, is quite reasonable.

"Daddy!" A light call sounded.

Behind his Zhou Zong, there is a beautiful appearance, gentle temperament, is in the middle of the flowery girl, wearing a pink robe, standing slim, at this time, between the flowers and jade, there is still a residual fear.

Tapping his hand, Zhou Zong showed comfort: "It's okay!" ”

Among Zhou Zong's wives, there is another concubine, with a plump figure, a charming face, holding a girl in her arms, babbling, clear eyes turning, not knowing the difficulties of the world.

Zhou Zong's old son has some meaning, he has a daughter in middle age, and he has a daughter in old age, and his health is really good.

Seeing this full house, Zhou Zong secretly thought that he couldn't fall. Otherwise, woe will befall this god-dry woman and child. Especially for their own daughters, it is not easy to cultivate, and they are proud of it, if they do not have their own protection, how can they be preserved in this country.

"Let the family members sort things out, and you can also pack your bags......" After appeasing the family, Zhou Zong, as the head of the family, commanded.

The daughter of Zhou Zong, Emperor Zhou E, was sixteen years old.
