At Fancheng Wharf, a group of people dressed as merchants stood on the embankment street, looking at the heads of people hanging high on a row of wooden poles. A man with a straight knife, wearing a military uniform, and speaking with a Xiangzhou accent stood under this row of wooden poles with human heads, and said in his throat: "See? This is the end of opposing the Emperor! Who dares to oppose the Emperor Taishang's inventory of acres of land and acres, and there will be no forgiveness for all of them! ”

There were still many people and merchants passing by on the wharf, and when they saw the heads and the fierce Xiangzhou soldiers, they all sighed, and no one dared to say a word.

The leader of the group of merchants, Chen Yu, who came down from Guandong, looked at the scene in front of him, frowned slightly, and did not say a word.

He walked around Guanzhong and saw the tyranny of forcibly seizing people's land, which was no worse than that of Tyranny Zhou. So he found the son of Wang Xiucai, who gave his life for no reason in the struggle in Dawei Village, Xianyang, and went out of Wuguan together and went to Xiangyang on the Shangluo Ancient Road.

Now that it has only been a few years ago, he has already arrived in Fancheng, and is about to cross the Han River into Xiangyang, but he doesn't want to see the scene of people rolling on the dock.

Before he could inquire, there was a Xiangzhou soldier who guarded the head to explain on the spot.

These people who were cut off were of course the "sect thieves" in the Jianghan area. said that they were "thieves", but in fact, they were some rich landowners who fought with the Xiangzhou soldiers of the Emperor Taishang in order to defend their land. Of course they can't beat Yue Fei, how powerful Yue Fei is!

From October of the sixth year of Xuanhe to the present, all kinds of popular uprisings on the Jianghan Plain have been neatly suppressed by the Yuejia army!

After learning the benefits of the Emperor's sword, many Jingchu clans who were familiar with current affairs had chosen to submit, or hand over the land (the surrender was Yintian) in exchange for the "fiefdom" of Jinghu South Road, or arrange a large number of children to join the army to become Zhao Ji's government soldiers.

Of course, Zhao Ji's "land reform" in Jianghan was not as drastic as Guanzhong. Because there are only 70,000 military households waiting for land in Zhao Ji's hands, 10 million mu is enough to resettle.

Therefore, on the Jiang Han side, in principle, only the hidden fields are attacked. And also give a little benefit to the strong clans who are willing to cooperate - the territory of Jinghu South Road.

"Father-in-law, aren't we going to Xiangyang?"

boarded the passenger boat that went down the river, and a young man who followed Chen Yu asked in a low voice.

This young man is not very old, only 13 years old, but he looks surprisingly burly and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a Chinese face is always calm, as if he is holding back a sense of resentment.

He is Wang Xiucai's son Wang Zhongfu, whose name is Yunqing.

When his father was arrested, he was studying in the academy in Xianyang, so he escaped. Later, he hid in the original customer's house until he was found by Chen Yu.

Chen Yu found that this child Yunwen Yunwu was not only familiar with the Confucian classics and wrote well, but also excelled in martial arts at a young age. The kung fu of the horse is top-notch, and he is particularly good at fencing. So he took him as a righteous son and took it with him.

"I'm not going to Xiangyang anymore." Chen Yu stroked his beard, "First go to the hometown of my father-in-law in Yongzhou, and then go to Jiangnan." Maybe Gangnam will be better, right? ”

"Will Gangnam really be okay?" The teenager Wang Zhongfu expressed doubts.

Probably not! The Eastern Song Dynasty, which was entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, was originally an industrial and commercial country that was the same as the Zhou Dynasty. The stronghold of the rational faction behind the treacherous Ji Yi is also in Jiangnan.

Zhao Kai apparently came to power with the support of the rationalists and the southeastern merchants. How could such a merchant regime treat scholars preferentially?

"Let's go and see." Chen Yu sighed, "It's really not good, we can still avoid trouble...... Cochin is always a paradise, right? ”

"Cochin Country?" Wang Zhongfu shook his head, "Are you really going to Jiaozhi Country?" ”

"Let's see!"

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the first month of the first year of Jingkang in the Great Song Dynasty.

Because Zhao Huan ascended the throne a year earlier than in history. So the Jingkang era name also appeared a year in advance. Xuanhe did not have seven years, and 1125 became the first year of Jingkang.

But Jingkang's shame probably won't happen!

Because during the Xuanhe and Jingkang years, the commander-in-chief of the Jin soldiers who attacked the Song Dynasty twice, the maker of Jingkang's shame, Wan Yan Xianye, was taking the Jin Guohe Zhengdan delegation at this time, honestly outside the Donghua Gate of the simple and simple Chang'an Palace, waiting to give a long live dance gift to Zhao Huan, the official of the Great Song Dynasty.

As for Jin Bing's southward capture of Zhao Huan to the north as a prisoner Yunyun, he never dreamed of it.

His Jin Kingdom now has violent Zhou in the east, violent cold in the west, and violent Xi in the north, all relying on the Western Song Dynasty ministers to the south to survive.

Go south to destroy the Song Dynasty? Why?

Although the Western Song Dynasty could not defeat the violent Zhou, they also persisted for more than a year in the battle of the Song and Zhou dynasties, and defeated it only after the Zhou State mobilized a million troops.

Even if defeated, the Western Song Dynasty still firmly guarded the two major fortresses of Luoyang and Nanyang on the battlefield of the Central Plains!

Moreover, the Song army, which retreated to Guanzhong, still looked very strong and had high morale, not at all like it would be destroyed immediately.

In addition, Dajin Guo also received news that Xiliang Zhangli and Lingzhou Gao Yaokang both expressed their respect to Chang'an.

Zhang Li sent his eldest son Zhang Cong into the court, and Gao Yaokang personally entered the court. Moreover, Zhang and Gao also paid 5,000 horses to the Western Song Dynasty.

This already says a little bit about it!

Zhang and Gao are both aware of the Song Dynasty, and if the Western Song Dynasty is really weak, they will definitely take advantage of the chaos to take a bite.

Now so deferential, it can only show that the Western Song Dynasty cannot be bullied!

Therefore, Wanyan Wu begged to grit his teeth, and also took out 5,000 good horses for Xian to take to Chang'an and dedicated them to the Western Song Dynasty.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son......"

The majestic military song came from a military camp next to Donghuamen Square. Then there was the brigade of soldiers in iron clothes, lined up in neat columns, and came in a mighty way.

This was a military parade for He Zhengdan's envoys and officials from Shaanxi, Shuofang, Hedong (there were still many areas in Hedong that were loyal to the Western Song Dynasty), the Central Plains, Sichuan, and other places to listen to the direction of the wind.

Wan Yan Xian also hurriedly opened his eyes and observed carefully.

This team of ironclad soldiers is still very interesting!

First of all, the iron armor on their bodies is not simple, and for the first time, the entire front cover is used, that is, the entire plate armor - this batch of plate armor was collected from the iron factory of Li Guojian after Zhao Ding and Zong Ying arrived in Xuzhou. The same craftsmen were escorted to Guanzhong together. Because I set off early and didn't encounter a big flood, I arrived safely.

Secondly, the arquebuses they carry are also very bluffing! These arquebuses are all knockoffs of the republican eight-year arquebuses of the Zhou state. It was copied from an arquebus captured on the battlefield - of course, it was impossible not to lose a single one. Especially in the later stages of the Hebei Campaign, the armies of both sides frequently engaged in battles on the vast battlefield, and long-distance chase battles also occurred from time to time. During this period, the Song army was not defeated in a hundred battles, and also fought many excellent ambush battles. As a result, the latest arquebuses could be captured.

There are good craftsmen brought from the Li Guojian in the Western Song Dynasty, as well as all the materials from the Qingcheng Academy, and there are also high-quality iron materials produced by the Li Guojian, and the samples can naturally be imitated quickly.

And the quality of this batch of muskets is quite good! They were produced by Forces nouvelles officers, and now that it was wartime, it was certainly impossible to create a rag that would explode as soon as it was fired.

And the third attraction is the high morale of this group of soldiers of the New Song Army who sang generously. Of course, there is a reason why the army that has just lost most of the Central Plains can have such morale.

Because the retro transformation in Guanzhong is going well! All of them have already obtained the land of their dreams, at least 200 acres per person!

Now they are all landlord bullies! Super vicious, of course!

Therefore, it was not them who lost most of the Central Plains, but the Great Song Dynasty, and all they lost was poverty...... What you get is the entire Western Song Dynasty.

At the same time as the retro Juntian was implemented in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, Zhao Huan was forced by the pressure of the officers of the new army to approve the "active military attache transfer and unification system"! The Privy Council and the War Department had completely fallen into the hands of the officers of the Forces nouvelles.

The Western Song Dynasty has finally entered the era of shiny military uniforms!

……

"Your Majesty, the morale is high, and the military spirit is available!"

On the upper floor of Donghua Gate, the person who was talking to Zhao Huan was the new Tongzhi Privy Council.

"It is indeed usable......" Zhao Huan dealt with this arrogant general.

Qu Duan said: "Since it is available, it is better to find an opponent to try the edge!" ”

"Oh? Who are you going to fight? Zhao Huan was a little interested.

Qu Duan raised his hand, pointed to the Jin State Mission under the Donghua Gate Tower, and said, "Hit the Jin Kingdom first!" ”

Yes, Jing Kangnian! Who else can you fight if you don't fight Jinguo?

"Why do you want to fight the gold country?" Hanlin Scholar Cheng Qin Hui asked on the side, "What is the crime of the Jin people?" ”

Qin Hui......

"Hehe," Qu Duan said, "no need! ”

"How can you provoke Jin Guo because of unwarranted?" Zhang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, interjected, "The Jin Kingdom is a vassal of our dynasty, how can it be innocent of crusade? ”

The military department Shangshu Tian Shizhong said: "How can the Jin people be innocent? They took advantage of the war between the imperial court and the Eastern Thieves and grabbed a lot of territory in Shuofang. The pastures of the Zhubu tribe that are attached to the Jin people are approaching Tongwan City! Shouldn't such rudeness be a crusade? Moreover, Xiliang Zhangli, Lingzhou Gao Yaokang, and Jing Chu's Taishang are all watching the imperial court. If the imperial court can't show its might, how can it deter the Quartet? ”

The reason is one set of words, in fact, the officers who have been busy with the land reform want to make meritorious contributions.

Look at the surroundings, Zhou Guo can't beat it!

The Emperor Taishang of Jingchu is not easy to fight, Xiangyang Jiancheng is difficult to overcome, and the army under the command of the Emperor Taishang is also a new army, speaking of which, the new army in Guanzhong is still the same team, how can they meet each other?

As for the army of the Eastern Song Dynasty, it was a shameless naval army...... But they were too far away to reach.

And Xiliang Kingdom is too big to swallow in one gulp.

So come to think of it, only Jin Guo is the best bully - what a pitiful! In the face of the Western Song Dynasty, which embarked on the road of feudalism, the dignified Dajin Kingdom actually became the best target of bullying, and let a group of "Jingkang staff" crusade on a trumped-up charge.

It's really heavenly!
