Chapter 645 Nationwide Advertising
Huizong was also moved, and said excitedly: "With a loyal minister like Su Aiqing, and a good general like the old general Zong, what is there to fear from the Western Xia Liukou?" The widow is approved, and in addition, the two Aiqing have worked hard and the widow cannot but be rewarded, Su Aiqing was crowned a scholar of Longtuge University, and the old general Zong was crowned Shangzhuguo. ”
This Longtuge scholar and Shangzhu country are not specific substantive positions but crowned titles, although there is no real power but it is a great honor, the former is for civil officials, for example, Bao Zheng Bao Qingtian in addition to the actual position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin has the Longtuge scholar sealed, and Shangzhu Guo is for military generals, and it is basically the highest glory of military generals, and then there is only the position of the three princes like Taifu.
And the three dukes are generally rewards that can only be obtained after they are dead, and those who are alive can be said to be the holy family Tailong, and now only Cai Jing has the position of 'Taishi' in the Manchu Dynasty.
But now Su Yuanjing and Zong Ze are one step closer, which can be said to be a supreme glory for them, the loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, more excited than rewarding them with hundreds of thousands of yuan, the two hurriedly knelt down to thank them, and then took the jade plaque, documents and costumes representing the title from the eunuch in the envious and jealous eyes of the surrounding officials.
Next, the court's scouts soon reported back the news, the 15,000 army of the Tang State had been dispatched, all cavalry, and the Tang King Du Jia personally went out to fight, and there were more than ten well-known fierce generals led by Lin Chong, who were definitely elite rather than perfunctory.
It turned out that Du Jia had already decided to send troops this time before Su Taiwei came, there was no other reason, just to hit the arrogance of the Western Xia Kingdom hard, no matter how bad the court was, it was also the Han people's own business, and it was not the turn of people of different races in the party to intervene, and the negotiations with Su Yuanjing were just to get as many benefits as possible, even if Su Yuanjing did not agree to the Tang Kingdom, he would send troops, but at that time, even the imperial court fought together.
So armaments, grain and grass, supplies, etc. have already been prepared, the front foot sent away Su Yuanjing and the back foot Du Jia began to recruit troops under an order, this time because it was fighting in the vast area of Yongzhou, and the opponent was the Western Xia of the cavalry team, so mobility was very important, the infantry was first restrained, and the second could not keep up with the enemy, Du Jia then decided that Tang Guo would also use cavalry this time to have a-for-tat confrontation.
And this time can also be seen as a test of their own strength, the previous battles with the Song Dynasty have proved that even the elite forbidden army is not the opponent of the Tang soldiers, and now it is necessary to use the more powerful Western Xia cavalry to test it.
Therefore, all the generals were enthusiastic, and everyone was vying to go, and later, under the careful consideration of Du Jiawu and Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu, etc., the table for this army was formulated.
First of all, the leopard head Lin Chong sat in the Chinese army as the commander and supported the center, the former army general Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, the rear army general Xu Ning, the left army general Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin, and the right army general Blue-faced Beast Yang Zhi.
In addition, Tang King Du Jia drove the expedition in person, Xiao Li Guanghuarong and Yue Fei as left and right supporters, Wu Yonggongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu and the three major army divisions also fought together, and Hu Yanzhuo with double whips as grain and grass escort officers, a total of 15,000 cavalry of six regiments were dispatched.
It is worth mentioning that Yue Fei, as a previous agreement, although he temporarily returned to the Tang Kingdom, he would never make a move against the people of the imperial court, but this time the enemy was the Western Xia Kingdom, and the object of rescue was the Song Dynasty, so he naturally had no reason to refuse, not to mention that he had never been on the battlefield for so long except for his own practice, and he had already been very uncomfortable, but he did not have any title now, and could only serve as Du Jia's personal guard.
Then the troops of the Tang State came down the mountain all the way west to Yongzhou, this time they were justifiably helping the imperial court, and the officials along the way finally did not have to be nervous anymore, and many people even spontaneously welcomed them.
And the Chu Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu were stunned after learning the news, and then they both laughed at the stupidity of the Tang State, in their opinion, Du Jia was definitely a bad brain, and he would help his biggest opponent, and he didn't know what he was for, although the imperial court later publicly announced that the Jiuquan Mansion in Yongzhou would be 'rewarded' to the Tang State as a reward for their help, but this was obviously a loss-making deal.
Wang Qing was still a little puzzled, and Tian Hu had already laughed and scolded Du Jianai for being a stupid fool who 'sold his reputation and reputation', it seems that he was stupid to read, and even forgot the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, not to mention whether you can beat the army of Western Xia, even if you can fight, it will inevitably consume a lot of your own troops, but it is just cheaper than the Song Dynasty.
But what is the ambition of the bird? They only saw the side of paying, but they didn't know that this was a great move to win the hearts of the people, to be honest, the loyalty of the people of the Tang State was very high, but many people still have orthodox concepts, thinking that only the Great Song Dynasty is the real ruler, Huizong is the true son of heaven, although he is so mediocre and incompetent, but in the eyes of many people is still the Emperor Shengming, just deceived by traitors, so I feel that the Tang State is still a little unjust, as for the King of Chu, the King of Jin, and the King of Wu, this is even more absurd.
Not to mention the people in other places, there was no Internet in that era, and there were no mobile phones, and the spread of news often relied on official propaganda and word of mouth, this time the Tang State sent troops to help the Great Song Dynasty deal with the rogue of the Western Xia Dynasty was tantamount to being hyped up by these two ways at the same time, and the glorious image of the Tang King Du Jia was naturally quickly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, on the contrary, the Jin King Tian Hu and the Chu King Wang Qing were even lower, and the official notice was unceremoniously called them 'pseudo-kings'.
If future generations saw this scene, they would definitely give Du Jia a thumbs up for this beautiful campaign plan, because they all know how much it costs to make an advertisement that can be known and remembered by the people of the whole country, and it is definitely calculated by millions of dollars per second, and Du Jia is tantamount to playing an advertisement for himself every hour of all CCTV, CCV, network TV, and news websites to promote and loop the advertisement, and since then, the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty have been men, women, and children. Even the little doll who has just become sensible and the housewife who does not leave the door know that there is now a Tang Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty, and King Du Jia and his generals are all loyal to the monarch and love the people, and they are everyone's protectors.
But Du Jia's advertisement is free, or it also receives many benefits from the player, which is also a strange one in the history of advertising.
