Chapter 180: Southern News

It's already dark, and Wang Shu is still busy!

During this time, with the implementation of the rent reduction order, the workload of the Publicity Department has also increased significantly! However, the Propaganda Department is still carrying out propaganda in the Hanzhong area, although they have personnel to enter Sichuan, but the amount of propaganda in Sichuanshu is extremely limited! The local power in Sichuan and Shu is extremely huge, not only can the rent reduction order not be implemented there, but it is also difficult for the Propaganda Department to carry out its work there!

After receiving the summons from the palace, Wang Shu immediately headed towards the palace!

After Wang Shu came to the palace, Zhao Chen had calmed down and was not as angry as before! He has experienced so many things, his heart has been tempered, and he has long been different from ordinary teenagers, and now he just wants to ask Wang Shu why he did this!

"Your Majesty summoned me late at night, what's the matter?" Wang Shu had already sat down and said.

"I made a private visit to Weifu today, and I came to a village, and I saw the officials of your Propaganda Department carrying out propaganda work!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, our Propaganda Department is now cooperating with the implementation of the rent reduction order, and the publicity results are not bad." Wang Shu said.

"What am I asking you to promote? Have you forgotten everything? Zhao Chen said violently.

"Ahh Wang Shu was taken aback and said, "How dare Weichen forget what His Majesty said?" Our main purpose is to publicize the glorious history of the Han and Tang dynasties, so that the people can understand that we were once strong, and also publicize that the Jurchens are eyeing us, and we are in danger of destroying the country and extinction! There is also the promotion of some other policies, and the encouragement of people to join the army, etc.! ”

"But that's not what I saw! What I saw was that you were promoting some of my personal things, and you also distributed my portrait to the people, so that the people could ask for instructions and report late every day! Ridiculous! Zhao Chen said lightly.

"Your Majesty, there is no way to do this! You've heard it! Wang Shu said.

At that moment, Wang Shu began to explain, and after Wang Shu finished speaking, Zhao Chen was stunned there!

He didn't expect that the reason why Wang Shu promoted the "cult of personality" was mainly to bring Zhao Chen's prestige to the top, and then promote other ideas in the name of Zhao Chen! It's a lot easier that way!

"I always feel that something is wrong with this! Although the emperors of all dynasties have been called the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, equivalent to the gods, but they are just talking, no one has ever really regarded the emperor as a god, and no one has superstitious about the emperor to such a point! In the future, the emperor's prestige will be too high, and any word will be taken as truth, and even the emperor himself will lose himself! If there is really any wrong decision, there is no one to govern, and it is impossible for the ministers of the court to advise, because the ministers of the court and the central government are completely 'convinced' that what the emperor said is right, and there will be no doubts! Not to mention the common people! At that time, it was the time of catastrophe! Zhao Chen said.

He remembered some of the history of later generations, the cult of personality by a great leader, and then the ten years of catastrophe and chaos in the world! He didn't want such a thing to happen in the Great Song Dynasty!

"This ......" Wang Shu shook his head and said, "The ideas that Your Majesty wants to propagate are incredible, and only in this way can these ideas be implemented as soon as possible!" Only in this way can the people join the army as soon as possible, so that we have enough troops to compete with the Jurchens and King Kang! ”

"Let me think about it again!" Zhao Chen said.

He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know whether to stop it! In fact, the implementation of the cult of personality, his personal prestige will increase rapidly, coupled with such a power organization as the Military Aircraft Department, he really says what he wants, he can do whatever he wants, he can implement all his own ideas! But he is also afraid that he will be lost in the power and have nothing to extricate himself from!

"I have experienced so many things, when the city of Kaifeng was broken, I escaped from the hands of the Jurchens, and then I escaped from the hands of King Kang, and then I defeated the fold, to this day, everything I do is to implement my own ideas, all to assume my own responsibilities, so that the Chinese nation will not go to the old road in history, will not be oppressed by foreigners, will not be extinct and extinct the country, and will not be closed to the country later! When Li Gang left Hanzhong, I told him that his heart would not change, and today I will tell myself that my heart will not change! Even if Wang Shu promotes the cult of personality there, my heart will not change, I will not lose myself, I will still go step by step according to my original ideas! Sooner or later, I will put an end to these absurd measures, put everything on the right track in the Great Song Dynasty, and let the Han civilization far surpass all the civilizations of this era, and prosper forever! Now, let the cult of personality continue! Zhao Chen stood in front of the window, he thought for a long time, and finally had an answer!

******

Soon after, Wang Shu said goodbye and left! The next day, before dawn, Wang Shu suddenly came to the palace!

Zhao Chen had just woken up, and he was dancing with a sword! Over the years, he has never let go of martial arts, meditating every day, and dancing with a sword every morning! No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles, no accumulation of small streams, no rivers and seas! Only by practicing diligently can we continue to improve!

After experiencing a battlefield battle this time, seeing countless people dying, Zhao Chen seemed to have a deeper understanding of the Dazheng swordsmanship and the Mengdie swordsmanship, and at this moment the sword qi was flying, and he didn't stop until Wang Shu came over!

"What happened? You came here so early? Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the news from Jiangnan has arrived!" Wang Shu said.

"Speak quickly!" Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said.

When the Jurchen went south last winter, he had been concerned about the news of Jiangnan, but the distance between Hanzhong and Jiangnan was too far, and the battle situation in Jiangnan could not come at any time! I'm afraid the news is only a month ago!

"Your Majesty, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Lou and others have already withdrawn! Zong Ze had two million rebel troops under him, and Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Lou Room and other people's grain routes were constantly attacked, and they had to retreat in the end! But the fourth prince of Jurchen, Wanyan Wushu, went all the way south, and he bypassed Henan and other places all the way to Hangzhou! King Kang's traitors didn't dare to compete with the Jurchens, so they hid in the sea! Wanyan Wushu raged in the south of the Yangtze River, and then along the Yangtze River, Wanyan Wushu encountered Han Shizhong! Han Shizhong fought with Wanyan Wushu, he was not the opponent of Wanyan Wushu, seeing that he was about to be defeated by Wanyan Wushu, Liang Hongyu personally sounded the drum, and Han Shizhong's army was greatly boosted, which blocked the Jin soldiers! After that, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Wang Yuan and others led the army to come, and Wanyan Wushu led the troops to withdraw from Jiangnan a month ago! Wang Shu said.

"King Kang Zhao Gou actually escaped to the sea!" Zhao Chen was slightly stunned.

He has a limited understanding of the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, only knowing some celebrities and some famous battles! He didn't know that Zhao Gou often "went to the sea" in history, and every time the Jin soldiers attacked Jiangnan, Zhao Gou would choose to flee to the sea! One of the important reasons why Zhao Gou chose to set the capital in Hangzhou is that Hangzhou is very close to the sea, and he can escape to the sea when he encounters danger!

"Your Majesty, King Kang's traitors have no guts, the number of soldiers and horses in Jiangnan is far superior to that of our Hanzhong, and Wanyan Wushu only has one or two thousand cavalry! Under such circumstances, he did not dare to fight with the Jurchens, but only dared to flee to the sea! Now although the Jin soldiers have retreated, the people of Jiangnan are already in an uproar! I really don't know, what kind of face does King Kang have to continue to steal the throne! Wang Shu said.

Wang Shu didn't expect that King Kang Zhao Gou would be such a person, and he was very disdainful in his heart! Thinking that he had plans to join King Kang at the beginning, he was also afraid at this moment!

"King Kang is in Jiangnan, it's too far away from us! Let's continue to be arrogant for a while! Let's still follow the strategy set before, and thoroughly subdue Guan Shaanxi first! Now there are 36 Routes of Volunteers in northern Shaanxi, if these 36 Routes of Volunteers can be subdued, Northern Shaanxi will be completely recovered! I have already sent Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi and others to contact the 36th Route Righteous Army, but there is no news yet! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Thirty-six Route Rebels are not subordinate to each other, and it is not easy to make them all submit to us! We still have to use troops when necessary! Wang Shu said.

"It's nature! However, at the beginning of the year, there were casualties in all armies, and the consumption of grain, grass and baggage was extremely large, we will not use troops on a large scale in a short time, we will first subdue some rebels, and then subdue northern Shaanxi with the cooperation of these rebels! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we're going to speed up, I'm afraid that King Kang has other thoughts!" Wang Shu said.

"Does King Kang have other thoughts?" Zhao Chen was stunned.

"King Kang is the best at intrigue and trickery, good at combining vertical and horizontal, they wanted to win over our Jingyuan army at the beginning, I am afraid that they will win over those rebels in northern Shaanxi and pose a threat to us!" Wang Shu said.

"You're right, we have to watch out for that!" Zhao Chen nodded and began to use his thoughts!
