Chapter 225: The Trauma of War

The negotiation continued, Yue Fei held back his temper, he felt annoyed that he had seen the wrong person, and thought that Yuwen Xuzhong was a Song person and would be better, but he didn't expect the more sharp Song people to make the negotiation deadlock.

Wanyan Zongwang stood at the head of the city, indifferently watching Yuwen return to the pass.

He clearly knew that Yuwen Xuzhong was the real Chazi, and the evidence of the Black Water Division was conclusive, but unfortunately the situation has changed now, and the reason why they could kill unscrupulously in the past was because the Song people could not retaliate, they were cowardly, weak, and cowardly.

The current martial artists of the Song people stood at the gate of the Jin Kingdom, trying to exchange the children of the master's family for the opportunity to pry open the gate.

Negotiations have reached an impasse.

……

And Zhao Huan went deep into the countryside step by step, and found that the Great Song Dynasty was different from what he thought, ignorance and backwardness were the main themes of this era.

And the Jin people went south, bringing even more terrible military disasters, and Zhao Huan was already numb to the corpses on the side of the road.

Human tragedy.

"Zhao Duzhi, is it from this cliff that the villagers usually return to the village?" Zhao Huan swallowed his throat, and the cliff was at least dozens of feet high, and the villagers carved a path only one foot wide on the mountain.

Plank road, in the mountains is an extremely luxurious option, it takes at least decades to make a plank road, cut holes in the cliffs, insert wooden stakes, and take a long time.

And this group of mountain people, year after year, from this foot wide road, lived, married and had children.

"Sun Shaozai's Zazi mentioned this and said that this is an antelope. They live on cliffs and move like antelopes in the mountains. I didn't believe it at first, but it turned out to be true. Zhao Huan shook his head and said.

He had no intention of going up, because the reply he gave to Sun Bo was to move these antelopes down from the mountain.

History always spirals, but Zhao Huan doesn't feel that the vast majority of the people in the Great Song Dynasty have not gained enough benefits because of the spiral of history.

For example, he saw busy farmers in the fields, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, working with their own labor, but even having enough to eat was a problem.

Da Song can indeed do three meals a day, and there is no doubt that he can even occasionally supplement some meat.

But it was a good year, and in a disaster year, it was still plagued by soaring food prices.

And now is not a disaster year, but the Jin soldiers are wantonly looting, so that the people's food is plundered, and Zhao Huan sees misery everywhere.

Unlike Zhao Huan thought, the Battle of Taiyuan lasted for nearly 200 days, and in more than 200 days, the people of the entire Hedong Road were taken captive.

The Jin soldiers did not stay under the city of Taiyuan all the time, but constantly sent scattered soldiers to loot.

This is why the antelope people built their villages on top of the mountains, they wanted to rely on the geographical advantages to prevent the Jin people from plundering.

It worked slightly, but it didn't work out much. Zhao Huan had already seen several villages slaughtered. The bones of some of the people rotted on the stoves.

Fortunately, it's all over now. Yunzhong Road was subdued.

Zhao Huan clenched his fists hard, he lived in a super strong prosperous world, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't imagine that this world was so miserable.

He suddenly thought of the words of the Seed Master, the enemy who died is the best enemy.

If there is no fire in Chang Ping and Guanghui Cang, this has become a bit like the green seedling law of usury, and it can still provide relief to the victims.

However, the fire of Chang Ping and Guanghui Cang made the court lose the possibility of private relief.

Zhao Huan turned his head to look at the starving Song Shanhe, and said to Zhao Ying: "Order Sun Shaozai and Li Dazai to drop some grain and grass as soon as possible, and use more silver money to buy some grain and grass from Jiangnan merchants." ”

"The official family, the Huainan Chen family agreed to buy grain, and decided to send grain to Pingzhou first when the money was not received. The Cui family also played Shaozai, saying that if the official family needs it, they will go to the soup and go to the fire. Zhao Ying replied.

Zhao Huan nodded, the Great Song Dynasty has only been around for more than one hundred and sixty years, and it was originally a time when his life should not be extinguished, whether it was a soldier or a businessman, he had not yet been completely corrupted.

Zhao Huan guessed that even if he didn't pay, the two wealthy merchants in Huainan and Huaibei would make up all the grain and grass.

"Then let the Cui family supervise the passage of 20 million grains into Hedong Road to help the victims who have suffered from the war." Zhao Huan didn't mind giving these two wealthy businessmen some holy favors.

He is the emperor, a little blue-eyed, even if he doesn't say a good word, their business in the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be smooth sailing.

"There are also Hebei West Road and Hebei East Road, after driving away the Jin people, it is also like this, the official family." Zhao Ying bowed his head and said.

"Then fill in another 20 million. Let Chen and Cui pay attention to the matter of grain prices. Zhao Huan shook his head, Hedong Road often closes a fire, Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road will not catch fire?

What's more, Wanyan Zongwang's sins on Hebei Road are no less than Hedong Road, and the situation of Hebei Road may be worse than Hedong Road.

After all, there are still many mountains on the right side of Hedong Road, and the villagers can still block the plundering of the Jin people according to the geographical advantages.

But Hebei Road is all plains, and the people there are even more miserable.

After Yan Zongwang's plunder, after Yue Fei attacked Yanmen Pass, he fled in a hurry, and he was still in Yizhou.

And Wanyan Zongwang's looting is still in the big camp next to Bianjing.

After several defeats in battle, he plundered the golden people who were addicted to nature, and did not gain any benefits.

War is never merciful, it can only bring pain, both sides fight for life and death, and in the end they are starved everywhere.

To fight a war is to create iniquity.

"Governor Yang came to the good news two days ago, saying that he had obtained more than 3,000 stallions." Zhao Ying put aside the mound, he was cooking today's lunch for Zhao Huan, and the whole sheep was stewed.

After peeling the antelope, sprinkle it with lamb wine to remove the smell, and spread the mixed green onion, ginger, garlic, seasoning, salt, and tea evenly.

Wrapped in several rolls of thick paper, pasted with mud on the outside, filled with firewood all around, burned all morning, after the fire was extinguished, the mud was cracked, and there was a delicious taste in the world.

The antelope was hunted by Zhao Ying herself, and the seasonings were all placed in the dining cabinet on the dining car.

"Mutton can warm up for deficiency, replenish qi, appetize fitness, benefit kidney qi, the emperor likes to eat mutton, and later it became a trend. Eat more. Zhao Ying put the cut mutton in front of Zhao Huan.

"Cut the mutton and send it to Wang Yu, Shen Cong, and Hu Yuan." Zhao Huan waved his hand and said.

This roasted whole sheep, Zhao Huan can't eat it at all, and he is divided into the roast, which is a kind of Long'en performance in the army.

It's about buying people's hearts.

"I also brought two pairs of rhino horns to Yang Yizhong and ordered him to continue plundering." Zhao Huan tasted it, it tasted very good, the dining car was really a good thing, at least Zhao Huan didn't have to roll meat slices every day.

War will bring scars, but if you don't fight, you will not only bring pain, but also destroy the country and destroy lives.

If you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. As long as the battlefield is in another country.

"The official family drank some more porridge, stayed up all morning, and it was all boiled. Just suitable. Zhao Ying brought porridge again.

Zhao Huan nodded, after the Great Song Dynasty occupied Qingtang, there was a Qingtang horse.

Zhao Ji, the emperor who is very good at enjoyment, likes to eat mutton very much, the top is good, and the bottom must be very bad, and the land from the Ma Zheng circle in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty is all raised with sheep.

Zhao Huan shook his head, Zhao Ji is really not suitable to be an emperor, he likes mutton, and there is not even a decent horse army in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty.

Chengping forgot the war for a hundred years, and the Jin people went south this time, which will bring a strong impact to the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is militarily or politically ideologically, where to go, it is completely an unnamed direction.

He needs to be careful to grasp the general direction.

Emperor, where is it so easy. I especially want to be a Mingjun.

"Official, the queen has arrived at Taiyuan Mansion." Zhao Ying saw that the official family was full of food and drink, and seemed to be in a good mood, so he said cautiously.

"Got it." Zhao Huan was stunned, he always had to face it. This queen of the dynasty, no matter how much she does, Zhao Huan can't lift it high and put it down gently.

There are many rules in this world, and they will not change just because Zhao Huan is the emperor. If there is no punishment this time, it will leave endless troubles for future generations.
