The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change!

The change of human nature is more difficult than the changes of all dynasties and dynasties!

Just like the Song Dynasty court now living in the south of the Yangtze River, although it has not experienced the "shame of Jingkang", the kind of cowardice and bloodlessness engraved in the bones are really innate.

"A few Qing families, what do you think of the battle of our army in Shaanxi? What should be done with the convicted generals?"

Sitting in this temporarily renovated palace, the tip of the nose still has a faint smell of smoke and fire, the walls and pillars are mottled and cracked, and even the ground in the hall is uneven.

This is the imperial palace, which is clearly the earthen residence of a landlord in the countryside.

The Song family went south and lived in the Qian Palace of Phoenix Mountain for a short time, which was dilapidated, the forest was green, and there were tens of millions of crows.

Phoenix Mountain used to be the palace of King Qian in the old days, and the successive dynasties built huge pipe pavilions. Last year, Wanyan Zongbi took the Jin people into Lin'an Mansion, set fire to the city, and the magnificent buildings and exquisite gardens left by the previous dynasty were burned down, and they were not extinguished for three days and three nights.

However, the palace is a palace after all, and there must still be some appearance. Outside the city of Hangzhou, it is dilapidated and ruined, and it is worse than the small cities around Gyeonggi.

Inside and outside the city of Hangzhou, strongmen and thieves are everywhere, and murder, arson, and looting are endless. The officers and soldiers went out to kill every day, and the walls were covered with corpses and human heads, and I didn't know whether they were the common people or the bandits. The city is restless all day long, and people are panicked.

However, with the tireless "hard work" of the officials and soldiers, the security of Hangzhou City has finally improved.

Some people also said that because the surrounding people were all harmed by the officials and soldiers, the robbers and strongmen lost the object of robbery and extortion, and had to turn to the Quartet, which formed a temporary quiet situation in Lin'an Mansion.

Whatever the reason, the Song court finally had a place to settle down.

Since the Jin people pursued all the way south, the Song court and a number of ministers hid in Tibet, and for a period of time, they had to hide at sea, after this intimidation, Zhao Ji got sick and was bedridden all the year round, and all political affairs were handed over to Zhao Gou, who was the crown prince.

Zhao Gou was also shocked. Finally, the Jin people retreated, and Hangzhou, which had two folds, was also set up as Lin'an Mansion, and the location of the Song Dynasty was officially determined here.

Today's Great Song Dynasty is even weaker than in the original history. Due to the absence of Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Zhang Xian, and Li Bao, the Great Wall of the country, which can fight well, the Great Song Dynasty court has fallen by more than one notch, at least militarily.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is still cowardly, traitorous ministers are in charge, and scholars only care about interests and party disputes, and there is no world and people.

Wang Boyan looked at the few people around him, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the ministers and a few others have summed it up, although Zhang Jun was defeated, it is extenuating and can be demoted and reused." Zhao Zhe fled from the battle, causing the army to collapse without a fight, and he was also to blame for being killed. Qu Duan was unruly, although he had military exploits, but he did not obey the control of the imperial court, and it was understandable that he was killed. As for Liu Xi, Sun Wu and others, now that the state affairs are difficult, the officials and soldiers of the court are weak, and the ministers and other ministers are collegiate, it is not appropriate to punish too severely, so as not to cool the hearts of the soldiers and be unfavorable to the court. ”

As soon as Wang Boyan's words fell, the privy envoy Wang Yuan couldn't wait to add fuel to the fire.

"Your Highness, Wang Song, the wolf son's ambition, must not let him take away the Western Army, absolutely not!"

As soon as Wang Yuan's words came out, Qin Hui secretly scolded the fool, which pot is really not opened. Now Dong Xian, the general of the Loyal and Righteous Army, led 5,000 elite soldiers to garrison Jingzhao Mansion, and 5,000 soldiers to guard Yan'an Mansion, one south and one north, going out to suppress bandits and eliminate thieves, echoing each other from afar, and most of Shaanxi is already under their control.

Although it is said that the loyal and righteous army defeated the Jin people and killed the other party, the imperial court has no worries about the northern land for the time being, and there is no need to worry about the Western Xia and Jin people on the western road to attack. But the imperial court lost a place in Shaanxi in vain, and I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Zhao Guna

picked up a newspaper on the table, pointed to an article on it, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if the Zhongqing family has read the newspaper, but the process of the battle of Shaanxi has been published in detail on it, and there are many Shaanxi scholars who are unhappy for Qu Duan." I'm afraid that the court will have to give some explanations, otherwise how can it convince the public?"

Wang Yuan picked up the newspaper and read it, and said indignantly: "Your Highness, Wang Song is roasting the imperial court on the fire. Does the imperial court have to look at the faces of these fools for what the imperial court is going to do?"

You're a big idiot!

Qin Hui said secretly in his heart, took the newspaper, looked at it a few times, shook his head and said.

"Your Highness, the materials intercepted by Wang Song on the battlefield are all heavy items of our army. Wang Song is using the money of the imperial court to appease the people of Shaanxi and achieve his first fame, which is really ill-intentioned and calculating! ”

Wang Boyanzai read the newspaper carefully, and then said: "Your Highness, this newspaper says that Wang Song's sailors destroyed the puppet Qi Haizhou sailors in one fell swoop, and Haizhou and Mizhou under the control of puppet Qi were also occupied by Wang Song. As a result, the pseudo-Qi was caught in the middle by Wang Song's army, unable to move left and right. On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to sleep soundly. It seems that Wang Song's next step is to continue to use troops in Shandong. ”

Zhao Gou was angry in his heart, but he was also happy. Since the Jin people went south, the Song court has been in a state of displacement, and the new army that was built up with great difficulty on the way often collapsed under the impact of the Jin people before it was formed.

Today, there are only 70,000 or 80,000 troops under the control of the imperial court, and they are distributed in Lin'an Province, along the Yangtze River and by sea. Just like this Lin'an Mansion, there are less than 20,000 rabble, and a casual riot of the people is estimated to be able to bring Lin'an Mansion to the bottom.

"Princess Roufu got married, and the two princes of Yan and Yue went to the court, wanting Wang Song to turn around and return to the court, but who wanted to be rejected by this guy. Later, the courtiers were sent to go, but they also returned in vain. ”

Zhao Gou said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, between you, what is Wang Song's plan?"

"Your Highness, forgive your courage!"

Wang Yuan said loudly: "Wang Song's picture is naturally my Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji!"

Qin Hui and Wang Boyan glanced at each other, and Qin Hui stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Wang Song has expanded his business and wealth in the land he occupies, opened up wasteland and camps, set up new schools, and recruited troops. Wang Song hates foreign invasions the most, and he will definitely get rid of them as soon as possible. With Wang Song's ability to train sergeants, I am afraid that he is already a strong soldier. The minister thought that maybe in three or five years, or even shorter, Wang Song would definitely restore Yanyun and drive directly to the outside of the Saiwai, the Jin people were not his opponents at all, and the Western Xia was far behind. ”

"Your Highness, what Prime Minister Qin said is good!"

Before Qin Hui's words fell, Wang Boyan picked up again.

"The only way to do this is to take advantage of Wang Song's northward journey, the imperial court will be able to train a new army, rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, the water and land in the south of the Yangtze River, and compete with Wang Song, which is fundamental. Secondly, Wang Song's subordinates must still have many people loyal to the imperial court, who can divide and win them over, so that they can fight and fight, and not only surrender the soldiers. ”

"This ......"

Zhao Gou returned to his seat and sat down, his brows furrowed.

"Divide and co-opt, this matter has to be carried out in secret, and it has to be very thorough. Otherwise, once Wang Song knows about it, I am afraid that it will bring unwarranted disasters to the imperial court. ”

According to Zhao Gou's thoughts, if he could keep half of the south of the Yangtze River, he would not feel too wronged. After all, Wang Song promised that he would not harm the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty. If you engage in these conspiracies, once you anger Wang Song, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, the Jin people are still very powerful, and it is unknown whether Wang Song can win the battle. Moreover, Wang Song attacked the Jin people, and Western Xia would definitely be involved.

Three dynasties have been established for more than 100 years. Once one side is out of balance, the other two sides will inevitably form an alliance and attack them en masse. Unless, one side is strong enough to annex the other two.

"It's okay, according to what the secretary said, recruit sergeants and train a new army

Demand immediate action. ”

Zhao Gou said loudly: "As for the co-optation and division, you must be careful to do it, and don't get involved with the imperial court, so as not to give the other party the truth once it is discovered."

"Wang Xianggong, the recital handed over by the Jinghu South Road Transfer Division said that Zhong Xiang, Yang Qi, Xia Cheng and others from Wulingmin in Dingzhou used Manichaeism to lead the mob to fight against the government, and now it has reached hundreds of thousands. Yes and no?"

Facing Zhao Gou's blazing gaze, Wang Boyan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is indeed the case!" Now the mob has moved into the Dongting Lake area, and according to the lake and harbor, they have set up a village near the lake, and they continue to compete with the government. However, the minister thinks that this is all a disease of ringworm and scabies, and it is not enough to be troubled!"

"Not enough of a problem?"

Zhao Gou shook his head, his old husband is dealing with political affairs more and more absurdly.

Dongting Lake is isolated from the top and bottom of the river, and if it is allowed to sit big, Sichuan will cut off contact with the imperial court. If there is no Sichuan, what kind of court is the imperial court?

This Wang Xianggong, on weekdays, only knows how to talk about poetry and words, and talks loudly, but he has no vision at all, and he is in a high position, which is really unworthy of virtue and unworthy of his name.

Zhao Gou pressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said: "Huang Cong, the governor of Lizhou, Ye She, the commander of Liyang County, Qian Jing of Taoyuan County, and Wu Rifang, the military commander of Jingmen, all died at the hands of the mob, and even Du Fang, the imperial prince who lives in Dingzhou, and the senior monk of Jiangnan, Xin Dao Xiangshi, are not exceptions."

His face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Han Shizhong lost his troops and lost his generals, the vitality of the sailors was greatly injured, and if the traitors of Dongting Lake Pan were not removed, it would be difficult for the world to be calm.

Wang Boyan wiped his sweat and hurriedly bowed: "Your Highness Shengming!"

The water in the imperial court is too deep, and it seems that he has to abdicate to make way for Xian. Sometimes, hiding is also a science.

"Your Highness, according to what the ministers see, it is better to send someone to Dongting Lake to recruit peace first, and if it fails, then send a large army to conquer it. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

Qin Hui hurriedly stepped forward and played a round for his teacher.

Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Zhao Li Gang served as a bachelor of Guanwen Palace, Huguang Xuanfu envoy and Zhitan Prefecture, and Cheng Changyu was appointed as Dingli Town Envoy and Zhidingzhou, first recruit An, and then discuss matters."

Li Gang was the head of the Qingliu and had a very high prestige in the court, so it was really appropriate for him to serve as the envoy of Huguang Xuanfu and come out to deal with the mob.

As for Cheng Changyu, this person used to be the governor of Caizhou. When the Jin people went south, Cheng Changyu led his subordinates to loot the money and grain in Caizhou City and brought it all to Jiangnan, which can be said to have soldiers, food and money.

The key is that Cheng Changyu himself is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and when the south of the Yangtze River is rotten and the Great Song Dynasty is overstretched, a prince like him who has an established system and a large scale is naturally the best choice to deal with the mob.

In addition, he has been suppressing bandits in the waters of Dongting Lake, although he has been defeated repeatedly, but he is familiar with the place, and he deserves his name.

Sure enough, Zhao Gou said solemnly: "Li Gang is quite prestigious, let him go to suppress the bandits, I believe that there is no opposition in the DPRK." Cheng Changyu has soldiers and food, which can just help the imperial court in a temporary predicament, and sending the two of them to Dingzhou can be said to make the best use of everything, and it is no longer suitable!"

Everyone worshiped together and said, "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gou frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Since the imperial court moved south to Lin'an Mansion, the sergeants of the army are quite uneasy. Most of the imperial armies were northerners, and when they came to the south, they would definitely be dissatisfied. Wang Yuan, you must pay attention to the movements of various armies, comfort the officers and soldiers, and if there are any abnormal moves, you must not cause a mutiny!"

Wang Yuan took a step forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will arrange it to appease the soldiers, strengthen patrols, and ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Zhao Gou nodded, squinting his eyes tiredly.

Thieves are everywhere, the war is endless, and the state affairs are difficult, I don't know how long such a day will pass?
