Chapter 188 Zhongzhou Collection

Ye Qing's idea now is very simple, and this is also an important reason for him to win over the military judgment, that is, with the help of the characteristics of the flow of people in Sizhou, after the news from various places arrives in Sizhou with the caravan, it will be summarized by the Imperial City Division, or use each caravan to become the spies of the Imperial City Division extending to the northern Jin Kingdom, the grassland and Western Xia, so that the tentacles of the Imperial City Division can be extended outward as much as possible, instead of being like a blind man once they arrive in Sizhou and further north.

If it was said that before coming to Sizhou, Ye Qing simply wanted to hold the Imperial City Division firmly in his hands, then as he entered Sizhou City and met Sang Kun, he suddenly felt that after being in the long river of history, time passed much faster than recorded in the history books.

According to the records in the history books, at this time, the Mongols on the steppe were still in dire straits under the rule of the Jin people, and the steppe tribes were also constantly fighting among themselves, and Temujin was not famous in the steppe at all.

Of course, even at this moment, in this period of history, everything is still developing according to the original trajectory, but the sense of urgency of the situation from the subtleties after being in the middle of the situation is not at all as calm and unhurried as recorded in the history books.

Everything seems to be fast-forwarded, especially for people like Ye Qing who know the trajectory of history, although the wheel of history is still slow, but when you know what the result will be, when you feel the situation from all directions, it is changing in an instant, when you look at the Southern Song Dynasty court is still so comfortable, you will feel that time flies really too fast.

Obviously, the Imperial City Division can no longer be satisfied with the control of the information of the Southern Song Dynasty, not to mention that even if the Southern Song Dynasty is chaotic, at this time, except for small-scale and unfashionable peasant uprisings, there will be no other major actions that affect the situation of the dynasty.

However, the changes of the Jin, Tatar, and Xia people in the north affected the turmoil and situation of the Southern Song Dynasty court all the time, so in Ye Qing's heart, the Imperial City Division was not only his own talisman, but also the existence of an important intelligence agency all over the country.

If it were possible, he wished that even the news from the depths of the grassland would be known by him now, and he would be able to grasp it clearly.

Wu Ju, who is the general of the Imperial City Division, and is in such an important place as Sizhou City, is the most suitable candidate.

Of course, in Ye Qing's opinion, an imperial city general is not enough at all, but if you can add the caravans that come and go in Sizhou, plus those people on the other side of the Huai River, Li Qingzhao secretly funded, then the intelligence network centered on Sizhou City can be established by itself in a short time.

And all this, from the moment he crossed the river, it can be regarded as the real beginning, as for whether he can pull the nearly 3,000 people on the opposite side, he believes that the difficulty is not very great, Sizhou City has a caravan, it may not be easy to stuff 3,000 people into it at once, but if it is slowly infiltrated for a long time, coupled with the secret assistance of the Sizhou Imperial City Division, all this should not be a big problem.

"Do you need me to send some men to follow you?" Seeing that Ye Qing was about to set foot on the land of the Jin Kingdom, Wu Juan felt a burst of excitement in his heart for no reason.

Whether it is openly or secretly, being able to cross the Huai River and set foot on the land occupied by the Jin State seems to carry an inexplicable glory for a military general of the Great Song Dynasty.

"No need. That person can't be kept any longer, if he is released, Fan Niande or Liu Yungu will immediately know that I have stepped into the land of the Jin Kingdom. Ye Qing turned around and said with a smile.

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Wu Juan looked at Ye Qing who was boarding the boat, as if at this moment, he suddenly felt that Ye Qing's originally tall back was much more majestic.

A sense of reverence rose in his heart, and he watched the boat slowly sail away from the embankment, no matter what, Ye Qing stepped into the enemy's border, not for his own sake, but for the sake of doing things for the royal family, and he did not hesitate to take risks, which was indeed worthy of his admiration.

"Take care of Commander Ye, the matter in Sizhou will definitely be handled for Commander Ye at the end, so that you will not have any worries when you triumph." Wu Ju suddenly shouted at the departing ship.

"I'm tired." Ye Qing's voice came from far away from the river.

As if he suddenly knew the goal of his second half of his life, the military judge standing on the riverside was looking at the rising sun in the east with vigor and spirit, and gradually dyed the cold Huai River water with a layer of gold.

The boat was slowly driving on the Huai River, and more than a dozen people were not crowded on a fishing boat, and the old Liu Tou, who had been silent, saw that the boat was almost in the middle of the river, and Wu Juan led his subordinates to leave.

"Is this person credible?" Old Liu Tou looked at Ye Qing on the side of the ship, and asked in the small cabin.

"This ship can't be provided by Dong Chao, right?" Ye Qing raised his head and asked.

"That's right, this person is quite righteous, although he leads a group of rabble to deal with the Jin people, but it is also quite effective. It's just like he said, now it's not as good as it was back then, and the people are gradually getting used to the rule of the Jin people, and they don't hate the Jin people as much as they used to. And the reason why they hate the Jin people is that either their relatives in the family were killed by the Jin people, or because of the Jin people, the family was ruined. Old Liu Tou said helplessly.

"Normal, no matter where the common people are, as long as they can give him a stable living environment, as for who is the emperor and who rules this land, they won't care." Ye Qing stood at the bow of the boat and slowly walked north towards the morning sun.

"In fact, just like Dong Chao said, if it weren't for the Battle of Jiankang and the fact that Emperor Wanyan Liang of the Jin State went south to attack our Great Song Dynasty a few years ago, maybe the people of the entire northern land would have accepted the fact of being ruled by the Jin people. Helpless, after the defeat of Yan Liang and the defeat of the remnants of the army retreating across the Huai River, in order to vent the anger after the defeat, there was a burst of robbery and looting against the people along the coast, as if in revenge against the Song Dynasty. "Old Liu Tou is like a treasure, obviously in the north these days, he is quite familiar with Dong Chao.

Coupled with his ability to talk to people and talk nonsense when he sees ghosts, it is estimated that Dong Chao has shaken off his family background and doesn't know it.

"In this way, Yi'an Jushi didn't lie to us, it seems that most of the women in her slanting wind and drizzle building really escaped from the Northland." Ye Qing faced the river breeze, and inexplicably remembered Liu Qingyan in his mind, this girl couldn't have escaped from the Northland, right?

Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao are both from Shandong according to the division of later generations, and after Shandong, Jiangsu, Lanling is not very far from Sizhou, will it be...... Now Dong Chao and these people will be Li Qingzhao or Zhao Mingcheng's relatives? But why didn't they follow the court all the way south in the first place?

Thinking of the time when the imperial court crossed south, Ye Qing couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly, obviously in the era of war and chaos, not everyone had the ability to cross south with the imperial court, even if the Great Song Dynasty was chased by the Jin people at that time, it was extremely embarrassing, and I didn't know how many palace treasures were discarded along the way, so I crossed the Yangtze River like a lost dog.

"I don't know if I cheated or not, I just don't understand, why these people in the north can live comfortably under the rule of the Jin people, why there are so few people of insight like Dong Chao! If there are more righteous people like Dong Chao, my Great Song Dynasty will recover the Central Plains and take back the lost land, I am afraid that there will be no ....... Old Liu Tou said angrily.

"Don't fool you, except for Yue Fei and others who fought Huaishui in those years, how have you ever thought of recovering lost territory in the past few decades? It was the people who were clamoring, but the court and officials didn't think about it at all, in their opinion, it would be good if they could always be so peaceful and peaceful. Ye Qing smiled, looked at the woods opposite Huaishui, and said with the figures that appeared from time to time.

"Not to mention ......." Ye Qing couldn't help but think of the Shouyuan that he read to Liu Qingyan when he was in the slanting wind and drizzle building.

Yuan Haowen was revered as a northern Wenxiong and a generation of Wenzong, even when the Jin State was in decline and was beaten by the Mongols and continued to retreat south, he did not think of throwing himself into the so-called orthodox Great Song Dynasty, but when the Mongol army captured Bianjing and Jin Aizong continued to flee south, he recommended as many as 54 Han literati to Yelu Chucai.

Later, in the days when he was captured by the Mongols, Yuan Haowen was saddened by the death of the Jin State, and in order to preserve the history with poetry, he edited the poetry collection of the late monarchs and ministers of the Jin State "Zhongzhou Collection", and the reason why it is called "Zhongzhou" is to remember the homeland and take Jin as the orthodox deep meaning.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing smiled bitterly again, maybe this is the servility of the Chinese nation, or maybe it is the servility of Confucian literati, just like the later Manchu knock, how many humanistic people in the Central Plains are unwilling to be ruled by the Manchus, and would rather be killed than have braids.

But when the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, when the will of the Three Religions began to prevail, how many pedantic literati stood up, impassioned and angry, unwilling to cut off their braids, unwilling to cut off the so-called ancestors' laws.

Such a ridiculous thing can indeed be staged one after another in the land of China, and I have to say that this ironic crime should be attributed to .......

"It's all here. That one is Dong Chao. Old Liu Tou whispered in the ear of Ye Qing, who was stunned.

Ye Qing suddenly came to his senses, and saw that the boat had slowly docked, and more than a dozen people on the opposite side came out of the woods, and the people in the lead and several guards of the Imperial City Division strode towards the river bank together.

So he immediately took the lead in jumping, and finally set foot on his feet, since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, he has always wanted to see with his own eyes what the northern land under the rule of the Jin people is like now.

After all, even in the history books of later generations, there is not much recorded about the people's livelihood after the rule of the Jin State.
