Chapter 616: Just in time
After the change of Li Heng Ma Wei, he divided his troops to the northwest, and went to Lingwu like a frightened bird along the way, and three days after arriving at Lingwu, he hastily held a simple enthronement ceremony in the south gate tower of Lingwu City.
Zhao Huan is much happier.
There are two soldiers and horses in Jiangling City, Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu, with a total of four or five thousand people, as well as many civil and military ministers, and the honor guard is thin, so a decent enthronement ceremony can be held in a hurry.
The next day, Zhao Huan ascended the throne and put on a reluctant look, but in the end, he still ascended the throne and called the emperor, and named the year as Jianyan, and respected Zhao Ji as the emperor. Zhao Song has fire virtue, "fire virtue" is the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, "Yan" is the fire, and the name of Jianyan has the meaning of "rebuilding the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty".
I have to say that there are still talents in Gangneung City, and they came up with this suitable and appropriate word overnight.
Zhao Huan immediately led the army and ministers to cross the river to the south, and sent envoys to Kuizhou to inform the great artist of the news.
In the same way, this news was also quickly reported to Lu Qian by Wang Dingliu.
King Lu was really surprised and happy when he saw the news that Zhao Huan was suddenly proclaimed emperor. This Zhao Huan became the emperor, but he also parted ways with his father, if he was not blind, in the future, I am afraid that one of the two sides will be 'Southern Song Dynasty' and the other will be 'Shu Song'. In other words, Zhao Song's power will be completely divided into two in the future.
In this way, it is only said that the Song army in the north and south of Jinghu Lake at the moment will be confused, and then the soldiers will have no will to fight.
Of course, this has not been a bad influence on me.
At least the existence of Zhao Huan can make the loyal Song forces in the south find the backbone again, and it can also point out a way for the Western army in the debate.
Lu Qian watched as the clouds above Xiangyang City shook violently, and it was conceivable how violent the vibration in their hearts was, and when they stabilized again, it was as if they had cut off half of their waists.
He knew that there must have been chaos in Xiangyang City. Even though the army is still being formed, the hearts of those soldiers must be the same as growing hair, otherwise how could the cloud qi be so huge?
It was dark, and the noise on the battlefield had calmed down. The Liangshan army launched an attack during the day, and everyone could feel that the strength of the defenders at the head of the city had been greatly weakened.
At this moment, the Liangshan army had stopped attacking the city, the barracks were full of smoke, and the soldiers were enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
Naturally, there are no large amounts of cattle, sheep and livestock inside and outside Xiangyang City to supply the Liangshan Army, and it is difficult to catch fish and shrimp in the river water to feed more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the whole army, but there is no in Xiangyang, and there is one in Nanyang.
Xu Ning has always led troops to garrison Nanyang, and the local garrison army needs a large amount of livestock. The Yin of Nanyang Mansion, who arrived, also called his officials to persistently preach the benefits of raising livestock, chickens and ducks.
Now is the time for the local people to get rewarded, and the local government is not to buy the pigs, sheep, eggs and poultry, and will not lower the price. Like the "folding", "and pre-buying", "and repetition" of the Zhao and Song courts, Lu Qian had no face to do it.
Now the bank's money and silver bills are getting better and better, because Liang Shanjun's advantage is becoming more and more obvious, and this is the credibility of the government. Just like the Ming treasure banknote just issued in the later Zhu Ming Dynasty, it is also believed by all the military and civilians in the world.
It's just that Lao Zhu doesn't have the string of 'economics' in his head, and he messed up by himself.
Lu Qian is not like this, he will not trigger money and silver bills without limit, but even so, the boss suddenly has an extra sum of money in his hand, which also makes Liang Shanjun's finances very rich. Even if his army is attacking in many ways now, he is not nervous at all.
In such a situation, it will not make the people suffer, and this is the moment to erect the image of the new dynasty and consolidate the foundation of the people's hearts. And the effect of the feedback will be first-class.
The local people of Nanyang Mansion have a very high support for the Liangshan Army and the new dynasty, because they suffered a military disaster earlier, so it was the Liangshan Army that helped them rebuild their homes, and now they are even more supportive and loved.
A large number of livestock, eggs and poultry also made the living standards of the Liangshan army rise sharply by more than one grade. The taste of fresh fish and meat is completely different from the taste of salted fish and meat.
Seven or eight sergeants gathered around, holding the broth and holding the dough cakes, and the fat mutton with the flavor in it was tempting. Take a big bite, the fragrant meat juice flows down the corner of the mouth, and then you take a bite of hot soup, the taste is beautiful!
The soldiers are now dissatisfied, but the remaining sergeants have no fearful expressions on their faces, on the contrary, they are even more eager to take Xiangyang City as soon as possible.
"I don't think this Xiangyang will last long, the heart of the city is gone, I'm afraid that there will be another ten days and a half months, and we will gnaw this hard bone." A soldier who did not know that he was less than twenty years old squatted on the ground, holding a large white flour cake in his hand, sandwiched red and white fat mutton, and the rich meat juice flowed straight down, this man was busy catching it with a soup bowl, and as soon as he finished speaking, he buried his head in the helmet-sized sea bowl and cooed non-stop.
"It's not certain. This Xiangyang city is strong, and the city wall has not collapsed after so many days of artillery bombardment. In my opinion, it will take a lot of trouble to take it. Another soldier said.
Just these words immediately aroused the opposition of the comrades-in-arms, and someone immediately said: "Xiangyang City is strong and true, and the Emperor Zhao who is like a mother-in-law is cowardly and depressed. How can the military man still have the strength inside? ”
The comrades laughed for a while, and the good scenes in Gangneung City were not the jokes they liked to talk about in the army. Speaking of that great artist, a 'timid as a mouse' poke was stamped early.
Compare Zhao Ji with Lu Qian, that is a scum, a scumbag, a scumbag.
At that moment, someone then laughed and said: "If Lao Tzu is in that city, he is as damn boring." "It's sad to have such an emperor on the stall, and I feel bad when I die for him.
When the soldiers heard this, there was another burst of unbridled laughter. As a soldier, he was paid and did a living licking blood from the knife, and he would "sacrifice his life for the country" one day. But people's hearts are made of flesh, and this death is also divided into unwilling or unwilling, isn't it?
As far as they are concerned, the family has no worries about food and drink, and their status is high, who in the township does not take a look at the high level of the soldiers? This is a death without regrets. Aren't they, the grassroots people, busy with eating, drinking, and wearing from beginning to end?
Being a soldier in the Liangshan Army does not guarantee that everyone will be rich and noble, that is impossible. But compared with ordinary households, the economic and status gains brought by the military to the family are extremely conspicuous.
For many soldiers, this is enough.
Naturally, many people think of the days under the rule of Zhao Song, and when they compare the personal images of the great artist and King Lu, the impression score of the former seems to be about to drop to a negative score.
At this moment, Lu Qian was seeing someone, a person who came out of the city.
"The villain is ordered by the official to come to see the king." The man lowered his posture.
"Gangneung City has been full of farces, so that our hearts are greatly hurt, the soldiers in the city have no fighting spirit, will have no fighting spirit, everyone is disheartened, and those who are willing to lift the city and surrender are very heavy. It's just that General Yao resolutely refuses to surrender, and his prestige in the army is deep, so he doesn't dare to say it clearly, for fear of unforeseen ......"
Lu Qian's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face was extremely happy, "What do you want?" ”
The man set his eyes on Lu Qian, "The villain doesn't dare to say anything, he only asks the king to come to Japan to send troops to step up the siege of the city, as long as the city is tight, those who are willing to join will be everyone." ”
Li'er is this Li'er. Lu Qian responded.
"If that's the case, you'll make up for it. If the lonely king has words and firsts, then he will believe in his words, could it be that your generation still can't believe in the lonely king? "Lu Qian's current reputation is very good, even if the word 'benevolence' has overshadowed the word 'righteousness'.
"The Lone King has always been a man of his word. To say that the past is not to blame is to say that the past is not to blame. But if there is something famous in this, then don't blame the lonely king for being ruthless. ”
He has always behaved very kindly, because the column of qi above the head of the person in front of him can't deceive people, which is indeed inclined to him. But at this time, it can't be all harmony.
As soon as these words came out, the person hurriedly said: "The villains are sincerely attached, and there is no second heart!" ”
"Good! In this case, the lonely king will not keep you, so you go back to the city at once and tell the soldiers. I, Lu Qian, speak count, as long as you are sincerely attached, I will never be embarrassed. King Lu said. The column of air above the head of the visitor became even redder.
The visitor was a little excited, and clenched his fists and said: "The king is benevolent and righteous, everyone knows it, and the villains have admired it for a long time." Please wait and see. ”
So decided, Yuan Lang personally sent people out of the camp.
Lu Qian immediately summoned the generals, said the matter, pointed to the west wall of the city and said, "Blasting will be carried out tomorrow." ”
The hole in the horizontal vertical has been dug a long time ago. Even blasting, they've tried it many times. There are also many points in blasting, otherwise the force will rush out of the tunnel mouth after the explosion, isn't it a waste?
Although Liang Shanjun has not launched a fierce attack on Xiangyang City these days, he has done a lot of things that should be done. For example, there are many gaps dug under the city wall, and once it explodes, I dare not say that it can completely collapse the west city wall, but it will definitely be able to blow up more gaps.
Earlier, he just didn't use him, seeing the farce in Jiangling City, Lu Qian quickly broke through Xiangyang, scared me away and slowed down the offensive on Xiangyang City, and sat back and watched the Zhao family's father and son appear embarrassed, so he decisively chose the latter.
The facts also proved his vision. The big dramas that made Song Junzhi lost morale at all, and Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, the emperor's father and son, are also talents.
But now the situation has changed again, the farce of Gangneung City has come to an end, and this slowing down the offensive has come to an end. Even without the contact of the people in the city, Lu Qian also wants to pull out Xiangyang as soon as possible, and it is just right now! When I was sleeping, someone handed me a pillow.
Just in time.
