Ren Cheng did not go out of the city for ten miles to greet him, nor did he gather the city's Chinese martial arts, but only brought a few city governors to meet him at the city gate.

Along the way, even if the army is not close to the city, the state and county officials along the way will rush to deliver local specialties, which is called a reward for the three armies. But they didn't dare to really waste money and money, so that the officers and men of the three armies had a share, and even the commanders were not enough.

The state capitals are newly surrendered, and Chao Yong is not too harsh, and the specialties sent will be tasted with the generals. No one dares to send money, and the rule that Liang is greedy and beheaded has long been spread all over the world. The officials of the Song Dynasty were very high, the highest in all dynasties, even if they were not greedy, they had some savings, but no one dared to take it out to reward the three armies, they were afraid that they would not please the prince, but would cause a fishy one.

Since the Great Liang publicly erected the stone monument of "not guilty for words", the imperial historians have no scruples, and the impeachment of officials continues to twist and turn every day. There is no problem for rich families to reward the three armies, but if the officials reward the three armies, most of them will be impeached and out of modesty, and they will curry favor with the prince. Although he will not be convicted in the end, it will also damage his reputation if it spreads.

The two stone tablets of the Northern Song Dynasty annihilating thieves and traitors were erected, and the civil officials knew the etiquette, righteousness and shame, and Qingliu also felt that Daliang was unprecedentedly enlightened.

Although the Song Dynasty was also enlightened, if the ministers angered the emperor, the emperor would still degrade the ministers, especially when Zhao Ji was in power, he would belittle and organize the ministers at will.

After the crown prince of Daliang proposed to publicize the ancestral motto of "not being punished for words", the emperor was even more magnanimous and directly stated that he would not be punished for his words, of course, betrayal and corruption are still not included.

Overnight, the Liang court became very enlightened, and there was even a royal history to impeach the prince for not going to court.

The prince is undoubtedly the existence that Wenchen is most afraid of, originally the hundred officials also sweated for the imperial history, and they didn't want the emperor and the prince to embarrass the imperial history, but the prince still didn't go to the court.

The hundred officials saw that the prince did not come out to ask for the crime, and the last scruple was gone.

Dong Ping was a little accustomed to being ushered in by the officials, and when he looked at the Jingzhao Mansion that was about to arrive, he saw Ren Liang leading a few officials to greet him, and said dissatisfiedly: "This Jingzhao Mansion official is too rude, the emperor does not move the officials from all walks of life in Shaanxi, but these officials have no one in their eyes." ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Now that the situation in the northwest is tight and the rear is stable, we can concentrate on fighting Western Xia on the front line." And this ushering and sending is also a small section, and it is best not to work hard to move the public. ”

Seeing that there were still a few zhang, Chao Yong turned over and dismounted, and walked over quickly.

Ren forgave him, and he was a little surprised in his heart. It is rumored that the Emperor of Daliang is magnanimous and a corporal of Lixian, but this Prince of Daliang is only close to the martial arts, and does not have much affection for civil officials, and never interacts with civil officials.

He originally thought that it would be good for Chao Yong to give him a gift right away, but he didn't expect Chao Yong to dismount after a few feet.

Ren Liang saw the prince coming, and hurriedly said: "Xiaguan Jingzhao prefect Ren Liang see the prince." ”

Chao Yong took the first step, supported Ren Liang, and said with a smile: "Ren Gong's name is like thunder, how dare the kid accept Ren Gong's gift." ”

Ren Liang saw the prince's words and deeds, and he couldn't figure out the prince's spleen, so he shook his head and said: "The lower officials just work hard, and they don't have any great achievements, and the prince praised it falsely." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "What Ren Gong said is good, you have to work hard. Do things to be worthy of your conscience, over the years, Cai Jing and Tong Guan have been in power, those who are obedient are prosperous, and those who are against them are dead, and no one dares to say anything about them. Only Ren Gong spoke up, which shows that Ren Gong really works hard. Song Dynasty officials, I only admire two people, that is, Ren Gong and Li Gang, but unfortunately Li Gang is foolish and loyal. If it weren't for the fear that Li Gang would attract loyal people to follow his example and be martyred for the Song Dynasty, I would not have beaten him as a vassal. ”

Ren Liang heard Chao Yong say this, and only then did he know the prince's intentions. There is no shortage of funeral officials in the demise of each dynasty, and there is no one to be martyred in the Song Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty fell for more than 200 years, and after five generations of wars in the middle, Jingzhao Mansion has lost the shadow of the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, the economic center and political center were transferred to the east, and Jingzhaofu was more of a military town in the northwest region.

It was not until the second year of Xuanhe that Zhao Ji issued an edict that the rank of Yongxing Army Guard did not need to be a military rank, and it was called Jingzhao Mansion.

Ren Liang was the first Jingzhao prefect of the Northern Song Dynasty and the last Jingzhao prefect of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although it was an important military town, the commerce of Jingzhao Province was also very developed, and the merchants who were not afraid of death traveled to and from the Central Plains, Western Xia, Tibet, Uighurs, Black Khan and other countries, and most of the goods were livestock, herbs, jade, etc., and the goods were mainly porcelain, silk, and cloth.

In the Song Dynasty, there were no restrictions on fangs and cities, and there were shops and vendors everywhere, and there were many more people in Jingzhao Mansion than in Tokyo.

Although Ren Liang did not summon all the officials in the city to greet him, he also knew the severity, and soldiers were sent to guard the streets from the city gate to the government to prevent people from rushing into the prince or even assassinating the prince.

However, Ren Liang did not have martial law in the whole city, so it would be too disturbing to the people, and it would also appear that he was unable to govern. Although he has been in office for less than a year, the security of Jingzhao Mansion is still very good. Even though the relationship between the Han and the Fan people was somewhat strained during the recent invasion of Western Xia, there were no major conflicts.

The people in the city already knew that the prince personally led the troops to fight against the Western Xia, and they all wanted to see what the legendary prince looked like when the gods descended to earth and were invincible. If the invincibility of the crown prince in the past still lacked some gold content, the record of easily defeating the emperor of the Liao State made people convinced.

This is not Ren Liang's propaganda, Ren Liang wishes that the whole city would not know that the prince is coming, after all, this place is close to Western Xia, and there is no guarantee that Xixia will get the news to assassinate the prince.

However, there is propaganda in the newspapers all over the world, and the postman can run much faster than the army. Two days after the army was launched, Jingzhaofu got the original report of the Tokyo Palace, and then began to print and distribute it, publicizing that the prince led the army to resist the Western Xia and boost the morale of the army and the people in the northwest.

Ren Liang also had to admit that after the news of the prince's personal conquest was announced, it stabilized the people's hearts very well.

After the news of the invasion of 400,000 troops from the Western Xia spread, many people left their homes and ran to the Central Plains, fearing that they would be taken away by the Western Xia and become slaves. Since the founding of the Western Xia, they have often committed border crimes, and many times they are unable to occupy the cities they have built. As soon as the Song reinforcements arrived, the Tanguts would withdraw their troops, but in addition to looting money and goods, they would also take the people captive. When these people arrived in Western Xia, they would become slaves of the Dangxiang clan.

The skilled Han people became craftsmen, and the Western Xia developed iron smelting, textiles, ceramics and other industries in the country through the captivity of the Han people, so that they were not afraid of the blockade of the Song Dynasty. Some industries are not even inferior to the Song Dynasty, such as the Xixia sword smelted in the Western Xia, that is, the Song people have to admit the sharpness of the Xixia sword.

The Song Dynasty was rich in land and abundant in exquisite things. But I also have to admit that "the Khitan saddle, Xia Guojian, and Goryeo secret colors are all the best in the world, and although they are effective in other places, they will never be able to reach them."

Of course, the Xixia sword is also the best weapon among the weapons cast in the Western Xia, and not any soldier can have it.

It is also the scarcity of the Xixia sword that makes the Song people proud to get the Xixia sword.

Su Dongpo once won the Xixia sword, greatly appreciated, and immediately ordered the "Four Scholars of Sumen" to praise the poem of Chao Buzhi.

The red makeup sits on the flowers and shines on the wine, and the green ping pulls out the sheath hall.

The spiral is spine, and the white dragon is double carrying the three dragons.

Try to stand upright, and the actors are moved by three moves.

Zhao Ji's eldest son, Song Qinzong, got a Western Xia sword, and he couldn't put it down, and he wore it in the last dynasty.

It is the Song Dynasty's "secret and unrevealed" divine arm crossbow has a saying from the Western Xia, but the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty were at war, only the Western Xia Jin King Cha Ge "the country uses an iron harrier to gallop across the plain, and uses a foot to chase the dangerous valley, but once it encounters a strange knife method iron riding is difficult to use, if it encounters a divine arm lunge mocks its own collapse".

If the Divine Arm Crossbow was invented by Western Xia, then Western Xia would naturally not use it, and there would be no such thing as Bu Bazi collapsing when he touched the Divine Arm Crossbow.

Even if the prototype of the Divine Arm Crossbow came from the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty must have made major improvements to make it more powerful before it could be used against the Western Xia.

In addition to the excellent weapons, the felt carpets of Western Xia are also sought-after goods in various countries, among which the white felt made of white camel hair is recorded as "the world's best felt" in "Marco Polo's Travels".

Although the Western Xia relied on the captive Han craftsmen to develop ceramics, the ceramics of the Western Xia were obviously not as exquisite as those of the Central Plains, and could only be made into some practical utensils. The Western Xia still needed to exchange livestock for some fine porcelain from the Song Dynasty for the use of the nobility. However, ceramics also helped the Western Xia a lot, the Central Plains of the Tribulus terrestris to delay the enemy's action, although the Western Xia can metallurgy, but the iron ore of the Western Xia is still not as much as the Central Plains, their iron to be used in more important places, to create weapons, agricultural tools. After having ceramics, the Western Xia produced porcelain tribulus terrestris. The size of a fist, the surface is all nail-shaped. Once the war horse is stepped on, it must be turned on the horse's back.

Legend has it that when Genghis Khan attacked Western Xia, his horse stepped on the porcelain tribulus terrestris, caught off guard, fell off his horse, and died of injury. This is undoubtedly a great shame for Genghis Khan, who grew up on horseback, and on his deathbed, he let his descendants exterminate the Tangut royal family and Tangut culture to shame.

Han people who have no skills are captured and become "Bang Linglang", that is, the vanguard of the Western Xia army, in fact, let these Han slaves be cannon fodder.

The Song army had fewer cavalry, while the infantry was known for their bows and crossbows. The two armies faced each other, and the Song army often killed and injured a large number of Western Xia soldiers with dense arrow rain, and later the Western Xia people let the "Collision Linglang" rush first, and after disrupting the Song army's formation, the Western Xia soldiers and horses went to fight again.

Those who were too thin to go to the battlefield were caught by the Tanguts and sent to the hinterland of the Tangut to cultivate.

But a few days ago, after the news of the prince's personal conquest spread, there were obviously fewer people fleeing.

The people left behind are also a little more relaxed, the prince even defeated the emperor of Liao**, what is the emperor of Western Xia, maybe the prince can capture the emperor of Western Xia alive this time. At that time, the Western Xia Emperor was made a slave and herded horses for the Han people.
