The sky was gradually brightening, and at this time, dozens of miles south of Zhongshan Mansion, the armies from all walks of life finally began to get up and return to Zhongshan Mansion.

The snow was still falling, and the soldiers were walking in the snow.

The cavalry walked on the flanks, not very fast, and followed the infantry closely.

All the soldiers had smiles on their faces, and the sound of singing was heard from time to time in the army.

"Back then, Xue Rengui pacified the rebellion in the Tianshan Mountains, and was known as 'the general set the Tianshan with three arrows, and the soldiers entered the Han Pass with a long song', and today we are also marching with a long song!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Yes! We have finally regained the Central Plains! Yu Yunwen said with an excited expression on his face.

"The next step is to enter the Guanwai, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and completely destroy the Jurchen!" Qu Duan said excitedly.

The Huanglong Mansion outside the Guanwai is one of the birthplaces of the Jurchens, and it is also the earliest city occupied by the Jurchens, so in the Song Dynasty, there is a saying of "smashing the Yellow Dragon", that is, to hit the birthplace of the Jurchens and completely exterminate the Jurchens! In history, Yue Fei had such an ambitious ambition, but unfortunately he never realized it in his life, and now, "smashing the Yellow Dragon" is no longer a dream!

"We can't go to Guanwai in the next step, there are still many places in the Central Plains that are unstable! Yanyun also has a lot of unrest! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, there is still Liu Yu's puppet army in the Central Plains, and it has not been completely wiped out yet! In addition, there are many bandits in various places! The Khitans of Yanyun also did not obey our orders. Qu Duan was stunned and nodded.

"Let's discuss the method of completely eliminating Liu Yu's puppet army and bandits from all over the world!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Hebei, Hedong, Shandong, Henan, Lianghuai, Yanyun and 16 prefectures, all localities must have troops to clear out bandits, who should be sent and how many troops should be used, the staff headquarters needs to discuss it carefully! In addition, the Juyongguan, Shanhaiguan, Datong, and Western Xia areas are weak, and the remaining troops should be sent to these places as much as possible, so as not to take advantage of the opportunity for the Jurchens in the north to go south! When the Central Plains is completely stabilized and there is no hidden danger, then it will be a good time for us to go north to deal with Jurchen. Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty said yes." Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others nodded one after another.

The snow kept falling, the sky and the earth were gloomy, but everyone's mood was excellent, many people's legs hurt, but they still didn't want to stop, they hurried to Zhongshan Mansion, which is now their own city!

The army walked forward like this, until noon, when they finally came to the Zhongshan Mansion.

The city gate of Zhongshan Mansion was wide open, and at this moment, thousands of people in Zhongshan Mansion had also come outside the city, and when they saw the arrival of the army in the distance, these people hurriedly knelt down. They had already received the news that the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty was in the army.

"The grass people wait to see Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! Suddenly, such a voice came from outside Zhongshan Mansion.

Zhao Chen galloped forward with dozens of personal soldiers, and when he saw these people, he hurriedly got off his horse.

He came to the people and lifted up the people who were in front of him.

"Get up! Hurry up! Flat! Zhao Chen laughed.

"Is this the son of heaven of my Great Song Dynasty? So young? ”

"He's right! When Kaifeng City was broken that day, he was still the crown prince, only ten years old, and now he is only sixteen or seventeen years old! ”

"He doesn't feel terrible at all, but very amiable."

The ancient emperors were high, and there was a world of difference between the ordinary people, except for the founding son of the country who was born in hardship, the vast majority of emperors did not have a pro-people temperament, even if they came to the people, those emperors could not mingle with the people, Zhao Chen was completely different from those emperors.

"Hurry up, it seems that you also know the news of the Jurchen destruction?" Zhao Chen helped an old man in his sixties and seventies and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, have the Jurchens really been annihilated?" The old man was supported by Zhao Chen, and his heart was extremely excited, and said.

"Naturally, it was all annihilated! The Jurchens entered the Central Plains with 200,000 people, and now they are all annihilated! Some of them died in Hedong, some died in Yucheng, some died in Hejian Mansion, and some died in Zhongshan Mansion! From now on, there will be no more Jurchens in the Central Plains! Zhao Chen laughed.

"Really! It turned out to be true? Will I be able to see the Central Plains recover in my lifetime? The old man was excited.

The people next to him were also excited.

"Are the troubled times over?" A common people's way.

"The troubled times are over! From now on, it will be a peaceful and prosperous era! Zhao Chen said.

"Peaceful and prosperous? Is it the same as when the two emperors were in power? "There is another people's way.

"No, it's not the peaceful and prosperous era when the Emperor Taishang was in power, but the peaceful and prosperous era that far surpasses the Han and Tang Dynasties! When the two emperors were in power, they set up Huashigang, and the people of the world suffered, I would never do such a thing! I want to make the people of the world rich and happy, far more than ever! My Chinese Tianwei is famous in all directions, and the four are intimidating! I will never dare to invade my Central Plains again! Zhao Chen said.

"It would be great if that could be the case!" The old man before said.

"Your Majesty, it's time to enter the city!" Kang An came to Zhao Chen's side and said.

"Good! Fathers and Elders, I know that when the Jurchens were there, you all suffered! You don't even have extra food in your homes, and many people starve to death every winter! Now that the Jurchens are gone, such a thing will not happen again, and I will send someone to bring food to your homes. Zhao Chen said with a smile.

The surrounding people immediately burst into cheers.

And Zhao Chen rode on a horse and led the soldiers and horses into Zhongshan Mansion.

******

Zhongshan Mansion was originally a military town, and there were countless barracks for soldiers stationed in it, and this time the army could finally have a good rest.

Countless soldiers lay asleep in the house, even in their sleep, with smiles on their faces.

Zhao Chen came to the mansion, where a stove had been lit, Zhao Chen sat by the stove, and Yu Yunwen and others also sat by the stove.

"How many people are there in Zhongshan Mansion now?" Zhao Chen said.

"There were originally more than 50,000 people in Zhongshan Mansion, but now there are only more than 20,000!" Yu Yunwen said.

"The population of the Central Plains is withering terribly!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! There were originally 7 million people in the Hedong area, but now there are less than 3 million left! The situation in Hebei is even worse, with only a tenth of the population left! The situation on Shandong Road is slightly better, but the rich and noble families on Shandong Road have been raided by Liu Yu, and the people live in a bitter cold! As for Henan, Lianghuai and other places, they are the most miserable places, and now there are thieves raging! Yu Yunwen said.

"How's Yan Yun's condition?" Zhao Chen said.

"Yanyun now has a population of more than 6 million, of which more than 4 million are Han Chinese, and the rest are Khitans! In some small states and counties, the Khitans even began to rebel and kill our soldiers! Yu Yunwen said.

"Quickly send the army everywhere and stabilize the situation everywhere!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains and Yanyun are so big and have a large population, if you want to manage these many places, you need countless officials, but now we don't have so many officials at all! Hu Quan and others had already led many young people into Yanyun before, but there were still not enough manpower. Yu Yunwen said.

"The army is stationed in various places, so that the army can temporarily manage the localities and exercise military management." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Military management?" Yu Yunwen was stunned.

"Not bad! Now the world has decided that only the military management can quickly stabilize the localities and restore order to the localities! However, military management must also have a system, and it cannot be managed blindly! How to manage the military, I have to discuss these with the people of your staff! The purpose of military management is not to develop the locality, but only to stabilize the order! Now that there is a military law in the army, you can formulate a military management law similar to military law for me! Zhao Chen said.

"The implementation of military management, this is indeed the only feasible way now, Weichen understands." Yu Yunwen said.

"In a few days, I'm going to Yanjing, and you will follow me to Yanjing." Zhao Chen thought about it and said again.

"Yanjing?" Yu Yunwen was stunned again.

"It's been more than two hundred years since we Han people lost Yan Yun, and now we finally got Yan Yun again, and Yan Jing is the head of Yan Yun, I must go there! Moreover, if you want to deter Yanyun's Khitans, you have to go there too! In the future, in the pacification of Liaodong and other places, Yanjing may also become the capital. Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"The capital? Your Majesty, now that the Central Plains have been recovered, do you want to return to the old capital Kaifeng? Yu Yunwen said.

"Not for now! Kaifeng is now extremely dilapidated, there are only a few thousand people in it, there is nothing, what are you going to do there? Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.
