Chapter 12: Wisdom and Demons
"Big win! Victory! My new Song generals won a big victory in Danzhou! Destroy 200,000 thieves! ”
Early in the morning, on the streets of Bianjing, a large number of newsboys carrying newspapers appeared on the streets.
After Jiang Yin completely took charge of Bianjing, the long-lost "New Song Daily" has now reappeared in the field of vision of the people of Bianjing.
"Yo, isn't this a newspaper, I haven't seen it for more than half a year, and now I heard that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and this thing has come out again?" A man dressed as a scholar grabbed a newsboy and said, "Boy, bring me one." ”
"Five pennies." The boy who sold the newspaper stretched out his little hand.
"Give." The scholar took out five copper coins and handed them over.
The boy carefully collected the money, took out a newspaper and handed it back. "Give."
After taking the newspaper, the scholar shook his head and began to look at the newspaper, just like reading the book of a sage. ~”
He shocked the people around him, and a few people who had no money to buy newspapers came to the side of the scholar and asked, "This little minister, what does this newspaper say?" Makes you sigh a good word? ”
The scholar eased his emotions a little and said, "I just made a slight gaffe in the next place, but I was actually inspired by the news in this newspaper. ”
"What's in the newspapers?"
"As mentioned in this newspaper, our Great Song Dynasty official army actually attacked the sixteen states of Yanyun that the Liao State invaded and occupied our Great Song Dynasty half a month ago, and recovered the land of Youzhou, Zhuozhou, and Danzhou, and even more so, Danzhou Hulukou defeated the Liao counterattack troops, exterminated 200,000 Liao soldiers, and captured more than 10,000 horses."
"200,000 people, that's a big victory!" Everyone sighed.
"yes!" Shizi also said with a flushed face: "After this battle, I am afraid that there will be no strength to raise troops in Liao within ten years, and the stability of my Great Song Dynasty frontier can be guaranteed, and the sixteen states of Yanyun have recovered three states, which is gratifying, God bless my Great Song Dynasty!" ...”
.....
The news of the reconquest of the land of Yanyun has spread in Bianjing City.
This prosperous thousand-year-old capital has a strong cultural tolerance, because all the royal family has disappeared, the obstacle to ascending to the throne has been minimized, with the power of thunder, supplemented by the means of moisturizing things silently, Jiang Yin's ascension to the throne has become an irresistible torrent.
Since the civil and military officials in the court have all accepted the fact that Jiang Yin ascended the throne, the people of Bianjing City will naturally not be full of food to oppose the new emperor.
The royal family is dead, and no one in the world has a direct conflict of interest with Jiang Yin, so his accession to the throne has become inevitable.
For the enthronement ceremony three days later, all the official forces in Bianjing City were passively used.
First of all, all the vendors and idlers on Suzaku Street and Huangcheng Road were cleared, and they were ordered not to set up stalls on the street for three days, and at the same time a large amount of 'lost work expenses' were compensated for these vendors.
These vendors were overjoyed, knowing that the official uniform's compensation for their 'lost work expenses' was even worth their money in a month, and now, the official uniform said that the compensation would be compensated, but it was unanimously praised by the merchants on the side of Suzaku Street.
After clearing the streets, the New Song regime began to organize military parades.
The number of participants in the parade exercise, in addition to the mechanized troops, most of the phalanx is still held by the Song people, Jiang Yin knows very well, this society is still a society dominated by the Song people, and it is not a good thing for modern people to join the army too much, therefore, more than eighty percent of the troops participating in the National Day parade are held by the Song people.
Modern people are okay, no matter how you say it, basically everyone has participated in military training, although they may not walk so neatly, but at least they can still walk out of a phalanx.
But the Song army is a little troublesome, they have not been exposed to these slogans, and the marches on weekdays are also one regiment after another, and there has never been a military parade, so the military parade ceremony from the gate of the imperial city, they have to go through very strict training, often training for nearly ten hours a day.
Although the training was arduous, the effect was still very significant, although it could not be done in the formidable military parade of later generations, but at least the entire phalanx as a whole was initially achievable.
In this way, with continuous training and continuous progress, in just half a month, the New Song Dynasty military formation, which was proficient in commands and neatly treaded, was trained by modern instructors.
On Suzaku Street, some people have begun to decorate the festive red flowers, and everyone is waiting for the new king's enthronement ceremony....
.....
Liaoguo, Shangjing Linhuang Mansion.
A Linhuang mansion in Nuoda is now audible.
There were hundreds of civil and military officials standing under the Great Highness, and everyone was silent and did not dare to make a sound.
At the bottom of the main hall, there was still a person kneeling, although this person was disheveled and his clothes were unkempt, but he could vaguely see from his Han face that he was the privy envoy of the Shengnan Yuan who was in charge of guarding Youzhou before-Han Derang.
Han Derang was riding a donkey cart back to Beijing, along the way, he could hear the news of the new Song State every day, the New Song State occupied the three states of Youzhou, Zhuozhou, and Danzhou in the Great Liao, the New Song State was stationed outside the city of Danzhou, and the New Song State refused to leave the Great Liao envoys, etc., until finally, he received the news that the 250,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao State were wiped out in Hulukou, Danzhou.
After hearing the news, Han Derang knew that everything was over, 250,000 cavalry, this is not 250,000 pigs and sheep, but 250,000 of the most elite soldiers of the empire, although only 50,000 of them are loyal to His Majesty, but the remaining 200,000 people, although they have their own leaders, still dare not disobey Your Majesty's will, they are an important force in maintaining border stability.
All of them were once the most important warriors of the frontier. But now they have been completely annihilated in a small gourd mouth, this major setback, so that Da Liao may not be able to march again for ten years.
There was a man standing in the main hall, a man in a black dragon suit.
At this time, the person did not speak with his hands behind his back, and Han Derang felt depressed in his heart as if he could vomit blood.
After being silent for a long time, the black-robed man slowly turned around, and said with some tiredness in his voice: "Han Derang, I thought you had died on the front line..."
When Han Derang heard this, he slammed his head down, and with a "bang", blood oozed from his head. "Weichen should die, Youzhou City is broken, and Weichen is to blame for his death!"
The black-robed man raised his hand, "I just want to know now, what is the origin of this new Song Kingdom, and what weapons does he have, so that he can slaughter my 250,000 elite troops in an ambush place?" ”
Han Derang's heart was mixed, he remembered the lights of the city that he saw in Xincangzhou City, the earth-shattering artillery, and the incredibly prosperous city, and finally he also sighed faintly: "Your Majesty, this new Song Kingdom, how much wisdom is close to the demon..."
