The whole of China was shrouded in a cold rain, and bloody battles broke out in Huaibei, Huaixi, Hebei, Henan, and Shaanxi. The entire first half of the three years of the Southern Song Dynasty was spent in the war. Shenzhou is in ruins, and there is not one out of ten people, and the white bones cover the wilderness. The vast land seems to have returned to the wilderness, and civilization has been wiped out by barbaric slaughter. But there are still unwilling people who rise up, just to preserve the bloodline of my Great Song and Han families, and to retain the sparkling fire.

But at this time, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was in a different way in Jiankang Mansion.

It is also a strange thing to say, from the Jingkang year to the present, the Jin people have repeatedly gone south, and there are local rogues who are in turmoil, and the south and north of the Yangtze River are eroded, but this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties has not been affected by the slightest war.

Unlike Tokyo's Kaifeng Prefecture, which had a population of one million and was extremely prosperous with old men guarding the city, Jinling had only about 200,000 people, and the city's houses were old.

Most of these ancient houses are more than 100 years old, and the oldest can even be traced back to the time of Wang Xie.

Yizu Dingding Kaifeng, and dredge the water, dig the canal, with the benefit of water transportation, Jiangnan grain and rice can be sent to Tokyo in an endless stream. As the former center of Jiangnan, Jiangning is not even a transshipment hub, and it is gradually declining.

However, since the Jingkang Revolution and the official family fled south, the status of this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties has suddenly become important.

That's right, maybe Jiangning is not the economic leader of the Yangtze River Basin, but he has the Yangtze River natural hazards, and he has the shape of a dragon and a tiger. Mastering this big city can firmly control the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The best thing is that this place is vulnerable to attack, which can give the official family who has been pursued by the Jin soldiers to the point of mental breakdown a moment of respite.

Yes, in the past few years, the life of the official Zhao Gou has been very hard, and it can be said that he is always in a state of fleeing and preparing to flee. He first fled from Hejian Mansion to Yingtianfu in Nanjing. Then he fled to Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, and finally simply ran to Hangzhou.

After the mutiny of Liu and Miao in Hangzhou, they moved Xingzai to Jiangning and changed Jiangning Mansion to Jiankang.

Build your capital here and be healthy.

As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, this stone city has seen enough of the chaos and usurpation. It's like a calm and deep old man, calm and serene, and not alarmed.

The big city is silent, but since Zhao Gou entered the city, it has come alive.

In the rain, the trees, houses, and streets are fresh, like an ink painting.

But on the river, it was a different scene, densely packed with ships patrolling back and forth on the river, and grain ships rising like clouds sent the wealth of all parts of the south of the Yangtze River into the city nearby, which made the Great Song Dynasty, which was always shrouded in the shadow of financial bankruptcy, breathe a long sigh of relief.

Approaching dusk, the lights in the city were lit up one after another, and the sound of silk and bamboo frolicking came with the wind. The flowers are red and willow green, and the warblers and swallows are swallows, and suddenly people return to Tokyo back then.

I don't know what happened to us.

There is a small earth hill in the most central part of Jinling City, I don't know when, a high-rise mansion was built on the earth mountain, there is a red minaret standing high, and there is a small city wall around it, on which there are fully armed armor soldiers.

The old Jinling people all know that the ancient place here is called Taicheng, which is the location of Taiwan Province and the imperial palace from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties. Later, it occupied a wide area, but unfortunately after the war, most of the provinces and the imperial palace collapsed, leaving only a small area in the center. It is planted with willow trees in the place, and the so-called "ruthless is the Taicheng willow, which is still smoked for ten miles." ”

Today, this place has naturally become the official residence of the official family, and it may also become the official capital of the Song Dynasty in the future. Looking at the posture of the official's family, it seems that there is no intention of opening the seal.

The heavenly family is stationed, naturally it is the sound of ten thousand sounds, and it is nearly dusk, and the whole line can not hear a trace of noise. Only the "rustle" sound of rain falling on the leaves and falling on the armor.

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers seemed to have been fished out of the water, dripping with water from their bodies.

But the crowd seemed to be motionless like clay sculptures and wood carvings, showing excellent military discipline. These soldiers and men are all official and imperial guards, and they are all first-class talents.

However, most of the people who can be the emperor's personal guards are the children of pure white families who were born in official eunuchs. Officials value their loyalty more than martial arts, which means that political vetting must be passed. Especially after the mutiny of Liu and Miao, the emperor became more suspicious, and the guards around him were also changed every three days, and they all became a group of hairy children in the back.

This can be seen from the circle of fluff on their immature faces and lips, compared with those fierce soldiers on the Huaixi battlefield who have gone through bloody battles, are full of murderous faces, and are so fierce that they are invincible, these people have simple eyes and soft eyes, but they still try their best to hold their chests up.

For them, it is a supreme honor to be able to serve the marquis nearby, and how can they see the mountains and sea of blood in Huaixi and Huaibei.

A middle-aged official in a scarlet robe strode over, he was in his early forties, not tall or short, and looked a little thin. Although there was an entourage behind him holding an umbrella aloft in the air, the rain still drenched his shoulders with a large black trail of water.

The middle-aged official was probably not in good health, and his face was so cold that his face turned pale.

Looking at what he was wearing, he was already a high-ranking official of the second grade, and like the officials who entered the office during the Xuanhe period, his eyebrows were sparse, and he was actually a rare beautiful man.

Seeing him go straight to the forbidden middle, two guards greeted him and shouted, "Who is it? ”

The middle-aged official was about to speak, but he heard a sound of armor leaves, and a young officer-like person came over, opened his mouth and scolded: "You pickled dirty goods, you don't even know Zhang Xiang, get out of the way." ”

After twisting the two guards, he reached out to hold the middle-aged official's hand and shouted affectionately: "Zhang Xiang, your old man is here, I have an order from the official family to welcome you here, saying that as soon as I see you, I will keep taking you over." ”

The man named Zhang Xiang shook off the young officer's hand and scolded with a smile: "I'm not seventy or eighty, I need your help?" Zhengfu, the official family summoned me to the palace so urgently, but for that great victory in Huaixi? The old man is drafting the recital, and after the big calculation is finished, he will submit the good news to the imperial review, but he doesn't want the official family to already know, his ears and eyes are very well-informed! ”

That's right, this person is the nominal supreme military commander of the small dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty today, knowing the Privy Council affairs Zhang Jun and Zhang Deyuan.

Hearing the faint sarcasm in Zhang Jun's mouth, the young officer who was called Zhengfu lowered his voice as he walked: "Zhang Xiang, this year has been treacherous, and the official family is anxious, and I haven't slept peacefully for several months. I took a few doses of medicine a few times ago, and I got better. As soon as the war in Huaixi arrives, and the old disease recurs, wait for your old man to be careful. ”

Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when a noisy voice came from a fine house at the other end: "Zhang Qing, what did Yang Yizhong ask you to be careful?" ”

The young officer Yang Yizhong's face changed color, and he hurriedly said: "Official, the road is slippery, and the minister asked Zhang Xiang to take care of his feet." ”

I only heard the voice in the room that seemed to be smiling: "Yes, the road in this world is slippery, and I fell accidentally, we all have to be careful and careful, Zhang Qing came in and spoke." ”

Yes, the person in the house is none other than Zhao Gou, an official of the Great Song Dynasty. This Daojun Emperor's ninth-ranked prince, it is said that no matter what he says, the throne cannot be discussed on his head.

He is cheerful and bold, different from the Daojun Emperor's elegance and grace, but he is good at martial arts, and he can shoot a hard bow with one stone. When Jingkang changed the incident, the official family once entered the gold camp as a hostage, and talked and laughed with the Jurchens.

During the Second Battle of Tokyo, he received the emperor's decree to go to Jinying for peace talks. If it weren't for Zong Ze's hard persuasion, he fled to Hebei, maybe he would have been captured by the Jurchens like his father and brother and went to the north to become a prisoner of the barbarians.

After going to Hebei, Zhao opened the Generalissimo's Mansion and led the troops to rescue Kaifeng. Later, the second emperor fell into the hands of the enemy, and Zhao Gou inherited the throne with the support of his subordinates.

At the beginning of his succession, Zhao Gou had the heart to cheer up. It's a pity that under one failure after another, he gradually declined. Especially after Liu and Miao changed, the whole thing seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming deep and gloomy, and when he spoke, he was also holding a gun and a stick, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

Zhang Jun was very dissatisfied with the official family's behavior, and as an old minister, he was also very dissatisfied in his heart.

Hearing this, he strode into the house, handed over his twists and turns and good news, and said: "Huaixi victory, Li Cheng begged to surrender, and Li Yu was the head of Dakou, since then, Huaixi and Huaibei have been recovered by our dynasty and congratulated the official family." ”

Zhao Gou took the excerpt and the good news, and didn't look at it, just threw it on the case, and smiled faintly: "I heard that Li Cheng was recruited, and the Wang Shen Wang Daosi who took Li Yu's head in the million army is your protégé." Unexpectedly, Zhang Qing had so many talents under his disciples, and he could send a random disciple to turn the entire Huaixi situation around. The country is at the time of employing people, if the Qing family has good talents, you might as well recommend a few to me, don't cherish yourself! ”

There was a vague sense of vigilance in these words, Zhang Jun's brows furrowed, and he said: "I have a few staff members on hand, none of them are from serious backgrounds, and their talents are limited, what use can they deserve?" ”

Liu Guangshi's good news was delivered to Jiankang in a fast way, and it only took one day and one night, which was really unimaginably fast. When he received this good news, Zhang Jun was greatly excited, as the henchman of the official family, as the actual Zaifu and family member of the Great Song Dynasty, no one knew better than him that this was a mess.

First of all, the Jurchens are ready to move in the north, and there is always the possibility of going south. , and secondly, the Jianghuai region is full of thieves, let alone suppressing it, if people don't come to beat you, it's Amitabha. There is no way, to fight, the first thing to fight is money and food. Now the state finances have reached the point of collapse and cannot collapse, the officials of the various ministries have not received a salary for half a year, and the soldiers are also hungry and full, and they are about to disperse.

In order to support this chaotic situation, Zhang Jun continued to order the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to send money and grain to Jiangning as soon as possible, and the money printing machine was printing Jiaozi and Huizi day and night, which was worse than straw paper.

If it weren't for his open-mindedness and firm will, he would have been scolded to death a long time ago. However, in the past month, his hair has still turned a lot grayer, and his body is not getting worse.

Now, the officials, the imperial court, and the armies, including him Zhang Deyuan, are all looking at Jianghuai with blank eyes, waiting for the autumn grain to enter the warehouse, so as to get through this difficulty.
