Inside Bianliang City.

The news from Hedong, Hebei Province was sent to Zhao Huan's ears in an endless stream, and a pressure as heavy as a mountain hit his heart.

Zhao Gou asked people to clean up the borderless land, collect the refugees and displaced people to organize the military camp, and also reward the soldiers under him with land, which is to win people's hearts and consolidate his own foundation.

Once the matter is done for him, the more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers in the north will not all follow Lao Jiu with all their hearts.

Zhao Huan was naturally unwilling to sit idly by, and had already given orders to those officials who had been imported into the northern region to obstruct all the decrees issued by Zhao Gou. But that didn't give him peace of mind.

Li Gang, who returned to Bianliang from Changsha, revisited the story and mentioned Zhongshan as a feudal town.

Why do you say that you mention it again, when did the Great Song Dynasty still have a feudal town? Is it a home in Fuzhou?

This was after Li Gang defended Tokyo in the first battle, before he led his troops and horses to rescue Taiyuan. At that time, Song Huizong had returned to the palace from Jiangnan, and everyone was happy, and everyone thought that the internal worries no longer existed. And the Jin people have also retreated, and the external troubles seem to have been eliminated. Therefore, the imperial court was tranquil, so it thought that there was nothing in the world, and the border defense affairs were also put aside.

Seeing this, Li Gang was deeply worried. He felt that he should seek his own government in his position, so he proposed to Song Qinzong the eight things to prepare for the border and defend against the enemy.

It is believed that although the Jin people have withdrawn, they handed over the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhending, and Zhongshan, and the officials and soldiers of the three towns refused to fall into Yidi, and they were bound to be held by the imperial court. Now that the climate is already hot, and the Jin people are tired of baggage, they are bound to not be able to stay in the Han land for a long time, so it is normal for them to retreat. But when the autumn is high and the horses are fat, if the Jin people kill back again, and make an appointment with the previous appointment, then the Great Song Dynasty has no preparations, how to deal with it?

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for the enemy!

Li Ganghui put forward a total of eight articles, one of which was to restore the feudal town.

"The town of Tang Dynasty, Gongwei Jingshi, although there have been many accidents, but it ultimately depends on its strength. And its disadvantages are also a big problem. The ancestors learned from it, abolished the power of the feudal town, and abolished the hereditary system. In this way, if you are given to Chengping, you can be prepared for nothing, but today, your hands and feet are not enough to defend the leader. For today's plan, if you build Taiyuan, Zhending, Zhongshan, and Hejian as feudal towns, choose the town marshal to pay it, Xu Zhi is hereditary, collect rent to support its soldiers, practice battle formations, and be lips and teeth to defend the gold people, but there is no in-depth trouble. Cangzhou and Ying, flat straight, across the Yellow River and the small sea, its terrain is easy to be violated, it is advisable to divide the coast, Di, De, Bo four places, build a horizontal navy, such as the system of the towns, then the emperor has the solidity of the fence. ”

Such a proposal was absolutely perverse under the political environment of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fuzhou is also inherited from generation to generation, but a barren Fuzhou, how can it be compared with Taiyuan, Zhending, Zhongshan, and Hejian?

Taiyuan is the capital of Hedong, Zhending is the capital of Hebei West Road, Zhongshan and Hejian are also large counties of Hebei.

was divided by Li Gang like this, and half of the northern land was no longer in the hands of the imperial court.

Zhao Huan is unwilling to cede the three towns of Taiyuan to the Jin people, how can he be willing to let the four towns such as Taiyuan go out and inherit them from generation to generation?

Li Gang's proposal didn't even make a splash, and it disappeared without a trace.

But now, this time and that time too.

The current situation in Hebei is critical - for Zhao Huanyan, Chen Yu not only needs sufficient support, but also needs the right to act arbitrarily. And after hitting a wall last time, Li Gang also revised his proposal.

Keeping his mouth shut about the inheritance from generation to generation, he only threw away all the military and political power held by the envoys of the Li Tang Dynasty, and deliberately marked that this was set up under special circumstances, which really touched Zhao Huan's heart.

Chen Yu looked confused after receiving the edict from Bian Liang in Zhongshan Mansion.

Is this power too generous?

generously made him a little scared.

"Xianggong, there must be a report. King Yan sent people to Qizhou in a hurry! ”

Qizhou is a state in the southeast of Zhongshan Prefecture, and the governor and the general judge ran away when the Jin people went south, and the state people elected Zhao Quan, the magistrate of Puyin (state governance), to temporarily manage the state government. Now that the Jin people have retreated, Zhao Quan has been promoted to the general judge of Qizhou, and Zhizhou is the newly arrived Li Hui.

This Li Xianggong is Geng Nanzhong's protégé, the absolute Zhao Huan party, and immediately began to resist Yan Wangling's order after he took office, with a very resolute attitude and very tough methods.

Many new officials on the two roads in Hebei, all of whom are logically Zhao Huan's people, all shoulder the same mission, but they are Li Hui's most intense.

Chen Yu, who was still shocked by Bianliang's edict just now, immediately changed his face. Even the angel who was preaching the decree also looked nervous.

What will King Yan do?

Is it as tough and fierce as Li Hui?

I don't know if this will be the trigger for a conflict between the two sides.

Although sooner or later there will be a conflict between King Yan and Bianjing, this is already a secret that everyone knows. But wouldn't it be too early to collide now?

"It's not too early, you say, just the one sitting on the dragon chair in Bianliang City, does he have the courage to start a war with Gu now?"

Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu's soldiers and horses rushed to Bianliang one after another, and at the same time, Wang Xiang also led the troops to Bianliang to ask for guilt, as well as reinforcements from the south, Bianjing City is said to have more than 100,000 people just selecting soldiers this time.

In addition, a large number of troops were not known to the line of Heluo, Qilu and the Yellow River.

With the support of the money and grain imported from Huainan Jiangnan, Bianliang can still afford this shelf for a while. The gathering of three or four hundred thousand troops is still very bluffing.

The news from the inside line of Bianliang City, with the arrival of a support army, Zhao Huan's authority has recovered a lot. The views of the people on the Bianliang court have also undergone a considerable change.

However, the combat effectiveness of these hundreds of thousands of troops is debatable.

The soldiers and horses under Qian Gai and Fan Zhixu were not purely Western Army, many of them were volunteers and brave soldiers of the Northwest Sixth Road, and even militiamen such as the Bow and Arrow Society. Whether it is armament or combat effectiveness, it is far worse than the real Western army.

Zhao Gou never took those hundreds of thousands of Song troops seriously.

He even instructed the Jinyi guards led by Han Gongyi to quietly contact some of the generals inside. For example, Li Yanxian and Liu Qi under Fan Zhixu, as well as Zhai Jin and Zhai Xing under Qian Gai.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Mali must have hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but now many people have not shown their heads, and what Zhao Gou can see is Li Yanxian, Liu Qi and the Zhai brothers. Because these individuals are what he has heard.

Liu Qi won't say it, and the Zhai brothers won't say it, the former is a famous anti-gold general known to many people in later generations, and a great victory in Shunchang is enough to make Liu Qi famous for future generations. The latter also destroyed his family to relieve the difficulties, and after Wang Xiang led the army to escape, the rebel division resisted Jin, and recovered the tomb of the Zhao Song Emperor, which had already been rewarded by Zhao Huan. Zhao Gou marked out the eight forces when he marched into Hebei, and the Zhai brothers were one of them.

Li Yanxian is also a bull fork character, and his reputation in later generations is not very loud, but his ability is definitely not small.

Alone in Shaanzhou for two years, repeatedly defeated the Jin army, so that the Jin people who occupied Luoyang could not drive straight into Guanzhong, otherwise the battle of Fuping would not be the fourth year of Jianyan (1130), but the second year of Jianyan.

Zhao Gou noticed this person in the 21st century.

I also know that this Li Yanxian's real name is Li Xiaozhong, and he impeached Li Gang, who was the prime minister at the time, after the First Battle of Tokyo, and did not know about military affairs. As a result, he was pursued by Youji and had to change his name and escape. It wasn't until the Jin people came back to the army for the second time that they joined the army again.

Now that Li Gang has been resurrected again, can Li Yanxian still stay in the south until he is stable?

It's not that Zhao Gou is arrogant, knowing that there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the opposite side of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, Zhao Huan also pulled Yao Gu back from the south, plus Zhang Shuye, Yao Youzhong, Liu Yanqing, etc., it is not a famous general who knows the army. But he held the earth-shattering thunder in his hand, and he really didn't take the Song army in the south in his eyes.
