Chapter 537: What I Heard and What I Saw

Things started in an incredible way, and then ended in an unexpected way, coming and going quickly, Song Zhen looked at Zhao Zhen sitting on the dragon chair with some concern, such a situation is what a prime minister hates the most.

In the confrontation between the scholar and the emperor, the strength of the two sides was originally equal, so everyone was at ease, and now the balance is tilted, and the emperor has the initiative, which is a disaster for the courtiers and the common people of the Great Song Dynasty.

The situation must be returned to the familiar picture before, this is one of the responsibilities of the prime minister, Song Zhen did not feel that something went wrong during his reign, this seems to be the common nature of people, and he will never take the problem on himself.

For a moment, he felt that he was old, not because his ability was not enough, but because he couldn't keep up with the pace of the world, the power of the prime minister was invisibly weakened again and again, the change was too fast, the cognition was lacking, and the ideal could not keep up with the body, Lu Zifei would give him such an answer if he was here.

Time smoothly transitioned to mid-February, and the world was moving forward in an orderly manner, but some people felt that the world had abandoned them, and it was simply a subversion of their outlook on life from the capital to Juzhou.

"Is there really such a poor place in the Great Song Dynasty? Why didn't anyone in the court mention it, didn't the Da Song Daily release that they were looking for the darkness in the light? Why not report here. ”

"We don't even see the government here? I just want to know if this is still the territory of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

In the face of the inquiries of these new science and technology scholars, no one could stand up to answer their questions, Yu Jia, Ren Shixiang, and Luo Jinghuai just smiled and didn't speak, they deliberately chose this path before leaving, just to let these nurses from schools see the cruelty of this world.

Zhang Qi said: "What we see is really there, I don't know how much, but I know that there has not been a single scholar in this place since ancient times, and now you can think of something else?" ”

"One country, China! The southwest has always been dispensable for the imperial court, the food is tasteless, and the meat is discarded, this is the true portrayal here, the good thing is that after connecting with Dali, you can use the waterway of Dali, and there may be a little change. ”

Someone asked Yu Jiadao: "Lord Yu, have you encountered such a place in your experience as an official?" ”

"Kuizhou Road is not as bad as you think, what does this place say? There is a big reason because the geographical conditions are too poor, and we are taking the official road, but do you think this can be called the official road? The economic conditions in Juzhou may be a little worse, but there is still potential, and if you have persistence and ability, you will definitely be able to see the effect in ten years. ”

Yao Xueying said: "What is the potential that Master Yu is referring to, you can tell us carefully!" We will be your soldiers in the future, and Juzhou is close to Dali, so we know a little more, and it will also help us in the future, no. ”

"Actually, you should ask your husband, his knowledge in this area is absolutely top in the Great Song Dynasty, and he is idle, I will tell you a little, although the geographical conditions of Juzhou are not good, there is one thing you didn't expect, that is, there has never been a major war here, isn't this a potential."

It is difficult to estimate how much damage a war has caused to a region, and to a large extent, it is basically difficult to recover from a war in a feudal society with backward productive forces in five years.

Zhang Qi and Yao Xueying both grew up in the most peaceful era of the Great Song Dynasty, so their concept of war is still in their imagination, and in their consciousness, war is a very distant thing.

Yu Jia smiled: "Don't worry, soon you will be able to see what you want to see, the war in Dali is not over yet, if any of you want to feel the taste of war for yourself, I want Beihou to be willing to help you fulfill this wish." ”

"Zhang Qi, you also tell us the story of Wangbeihou! The people who came this time were all his fans. ”

Zhang Qi said: "Have you ever seen a student comment on the teacher? We are about to arrive in Dali, and we now have to think more about how we can survive in that land, this season is fine, and I heard that the mosquitoes there can bite people to death on dog days. ”

The young people think so much when they don't come to the end, and what they see and hear along the way is regarded as an anecdote by them, and even in such a difficult and difficult environment, they maintain an optimistic attitude.

Leave Juzhou, enter the Luo Palace, there is a record about this, the name of the barbarian, along for a long time, its kinds are very many, the fuel consumption of Lu Lu barbarians, into the false Luo Luo, where the black water, according to the valley danger is all.

A closed area mixed by barbarian tribes, they have an inextricable relationship with Dali, when Dali was able to build a country, these barbarians made a big effort from it, and at this time, time has passed, they are nominal Song people, but they have a weak sense of the country They met the regular Song army, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

"Are we going back to the age of the wilderness?" Yao Xueying also looked at these warriors whose faces were covered with various paints and said.

Ren Shixiang said with a smile: "When we arrived at someone's territory, we didn't say hello, it was our fault, but their welcome ceremony is indeed a bit unique, don't take it lightly, Lord Yu, or you come!" I'm not good at dealing with them. ”

Yu Jia smiled bitterly: "Are you not good at it, I'm good at it, I guess none of us here can understand what they say, let's see what they want to do!" Attack us, I don't think they dare! ”

They can be seen on the mountains, on the trees, where they can hide people, at first glance, it is really a little scary, mainly because the face is painted in a mess, the clothes on the body are also very strange, and there are people who are naked in the cold weather.

"Who are you, what are you doing here, and what is your purpose?" The man with chicken feathers on his head asked in stumbling Chinese.

It would be much easier to speak Chinese and communicate, but they didn't know that much about the situation here for the time being, so the guards handed the holy decree to the other party at Yu Jia's instructions.

Being able to speak Chinese does not mean that they can know the man, and after touching the material of the holy decree, Dong Jialuo said in his unfamiliar Chinese: "You are from the northern court? ”

Yu Jia probably also understood that Dong Jialuo couldn't read Chinese characters, so he said: "We were entrusted by the Great Song Dynasty to go to Dali, passing through here, I don't know why you stopped us and others." ”

Dong Jialuo was still a little timid when he saw an army of several hundred people, although Luo Dian was independent internally, it was only an alliance organization, and this alliance was not stable, and it could break up at any time.

"I don't understand what is written on this, what do you use to prove that you are from the Great Song Dynasty."

Among these people, ninety-nine percent of them don't know what the Great Song Dynasty court is, and they have a very weak concept of the country.

And Yu Jia's confidence is the Northwest Army, Luo Dian, Ziqi is very close to Shicheng County, and the two places can be said to be next to each other, once Dong Jialuo makes any moves on his side, the Northwest Army can support anytime and anywhere.

"You must know very well what happened in Dali, do you want to follow in the footsteps of Dali?"

Regarding the invasion of Dali, Dong Jialuo knew very well that Dali had contributed to the founding of the country, but after a hundred years, that friendship had long since disappeared, and the Song Dynasty should not be so strong in his memory.

"Then I will send someone to follow you on the road, and when they arrive in Dali, they confirm your identity, and I will return the things in my hand to you, so there is no problem!" I don't know the words on it, but Dong Jialuo knows the importance of the Holy Decree.

This kind of behavior can be regarded as a great contempt for the authority of the imperial court, and the guards who followed wanted to step forward to snatch back the holy decree, but the calm Yu Jia stopped them, in his opinion, the holy decree was not as important as he imagined, and he didn't want to easily lose his manpower here.

"Yes, there is no problem, the holy decree will remain with you, but I can't guarantee who the person who comes back to get it is, it may be a person, it may be an army of 100,000, I hope this holy decree can play its due role in your hands."

Yu Jia's threat did not play much role, Dong Jialuo still stubbornly believed that the holy decree should be kept in his hands, he was not without brains, he knew that the army of the Great Song Dynasty would not be interested in Luo Dian and Ziqi.

Shicheng County was taken by the Northwest Army in the first month, and until now, the places that are actually in the hands of the Song people have Xiushan County, Shanxian Mansion, and Shicheng County, which is equivalent to one-fifth of Dali's land.

The good news of Shicheng County's victory had not yet been transmitted back to the imperial court, so Yu Jia and the others did not know that Shicheng County was in the hands of the Song people, and when they knew that they wanted to cross Shicheng County to Xiushan County, they found that the banner of the Northwest Army was hanging on the wall of Shicheng County.

The corpses, human heads, and gunsmoke saw these in front of them, which completely refreshed their understanding of the war, and looked at the clothes of these corpses, it was obvious that they were Dali people, and they kept asking themselves, when did the Han people become so cruel and bloody.

The disgusting smell and the dark red earth were all signs of the recent accident here, and the three small Jingguan temples made their inner fear and anger reach their peak.

Luo Jinghuai sneered: "Why, I can't stand it, what is this, just killed a few people, the two Northern Expeditions of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Sanchuankou Battle of Western Xia killed hundreds of thousands of people, this little scene makes you scared like this." ”

"It's a massacre," someone couldn't help but retort.

"Slaughter, it's ridiculous, Lu Hou is still too soft-hearted, I think you should go home and continue to be good babies, instead of coming here to suffer."

Ren Shixiang said: "Don't hit too hard, after all, they are still children." ”

The word 'child' is clearly insulting here, and these high-spirited sons of heaven are not convinced.
