Chapter 457: Days
Zhao Tianci's depressed mood did not improve slightly until Ruzhou saw Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong started from Youzhou, passed through Jizhou, Shunzhou, Danzhou and then turned to Ruzhou. Although the people of those states did not behave excessively, Han Shizhong still suppressed several forces with iron-blooded means, slaughtering 20,000 or 30,000 people, before he was relieved to bring people to meet Zhao Tianci and Yue Fei.
Zhao Tianci was even more worried about this, "Big brother, we can still hold the position here, if we leave, those people are very likely to rebel again, after all...... We have a bad reputation. ”
Han Shizhong said with a smile, "Although the emperor can rest assured, I just didn't have iron and blood to the end, because I had a plan." Although the people of those states are not willing to accept our rule, but there are no powerful people to lead, they are just a plate of scattered sand, I will annihilate all the organizations and some famous people in those states, and then support some scoundrels to accept the benefits of the imperial court, and let them entangle with those who have a heart, and then they will naturally remember the benefits of the imperial court and take the initiative to come to us to surrender. ”
Zhao Tianci was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Big brother, you ...... It's insidious! ”
Han Shizhong and Yue Fei glanced at each other, and the three of them laughed at the same time.
After laughing, Yue Fei said, "Your Majesty, the farther north you go at this time, the colder the weather becomes, and most of our team are southern sons, who are not tolerant of dry cold, I am afraid it will not be conducive to our actions below." ”
Zhao Tianci said, "This is also something I've been thinking about for the past few days. It was winter, which was not conducive to the development of war, and this was true for both the enemy and me, so I would like to select a group of loyal and brave men from among our people, the number is not large, but there can be 10,000 people, and the three of us will lead them out of the customs respectively. The new lord of the kingdom of Jin has ascended the throne, the kingdom is unstable, and our appearance will bring them infinite variables. ”
Yue Fei nodded, "This matter is feasible, but I don't think the emperor needs to bow down in person, the sixteen states still need further stability, and the emperor needs to sit here." ”
Zhao Tianci smiled, "Second brother is worried that I will not be able to face the old subordinates of the previous dynasty when I arrive in the Northland, right?" ”
Yue Fei nodded, "Exactly." If it is orthodox, the two emperors have children under their knees, and when the emperor arrives there, I am afraid it is difficult to speak. ”
Zhao Tianci said, "Although the second brother can rest assured, we bothered to toss so hard, but not to find a few more fathers to come back." ”
Han Shizhong said, "I'm relieved that the emperor can think like this." ”
Yue Fei also nodded, and Zhao Tianci said in a cold voice, "If you see them and know some current affairs, bring them back, and if you don't know current affairs, you can stay there." ”
Yue Fei sighed, "No matter what, they are also the face of my Great Song, and they will ...... then."
Zhao Tianci knew that he couldn't let go of the stone in his heart, so he patted his arm and said, "Second brother, don't worry, we will act when we see the opportunity!" ”
In the depths of winter in 1135 AD, heavy snow closed almost all roads leading to Guanwai. Inside and outside Yuguan, thousands of miles of ice, snow is boundless, and people are inaccessible.
Yuguan, later generations also have a well-known name: Shanhaiguan. However, at this time, Shanhaiguan did not have the slightest sign of Xiongguan, and there was no one on duty. The border city here is dilapidated, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere, covered with white branches, and from a distance, it looks more like a small hill.
In the wind and snow, a strange team appeared in the vast world. They are wrapped in animal skins, wearing iron hats, and only a pair of eyes are exposed, which is quite mysterious. Under their feet, there were two long iron slats, under the control of the iron drills in their hands, moving on the snow surface like flying, and soon "flying" across the Chongqing Pass and disappearing into the vast horizon.
Dading Mansion was called Zhongjing by the Liao and Jin people, belonging to Zhongjing Road, and was an important pass to the vast plains in the north. When the Liao State was still there, it set up five capitals, namely Beijing Linhuang Mansion, Xijing Datong Mansion, Nanjing Xijin Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, and the famous Zhongjing Dading Mansion. After the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, it still inherited the setting of the Liao State, and the establishment of these state capitals was still there, and the vast majority of the old subordinates of the Liao Dynasty were still in the same official position, but the functions had undergone some changes.
In fact, most of these institutional arrangements were modeled on the system of the Song Dynasty, and the official structure of the Liao State was closer to that of the Song Dynasty and had a higher degree of civilization. The Jin State is different, it is basically still in the initial state of tribal decentralization and unity, which is why Wan Yan Sheng, as the emperor, cannot set up his son as the prince, the emperor of the Jin State is not the co-master of all ethnic groups in the full sense.
During the Liao period, the position of Zhongjing was quite important, and the successive monarchs of the Liao State also attached great importance to this place, and almost every emperor would live here. However, when they arrived in the Jin Kingdom, the situation was very different, they still focused on the Shangjing Huining Mansion, and instead left the Zhongjing Mansion idle.
Wan Yan successfully forced Wan Yan Sheng to death and ascended the throne as emperor. But he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and if there is no support from characters like Zong Wang, Zong Han and Zong Bi behind him, he will not be able to handle the intricate personnel relations between the DPRK and the China at all.
After Wan Yan Si Room successfully retrieved the armistice agreement signed with the Southern Song Dynasty court, Wan Yan Jian could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and without the threat from the south, he could take out his hand to "rectify" those disobedient courtiers. But even so, his center of gravity was still firmly confined to such a small area as Shangjing, and he had no time to take care of it at all.
The chief officer stationed in Zhongjing was originally a commander named Khan Tiehuachi, who commanded 50,000 horses in Zhongjing. But after the new emperor ascended the throne, this sweat Tiehuachi fell out of favor and was transferred to Taizhou as a grain officer by the new emperor.
Khan Tiehuachi walked neatly, did not leave anything to say, did not hand over any important military and political affairs, and rushed to the new office with his family.
As a result, there was a "temporary" ownerless state in Zhongjing Prefecture, and no one knows how long this "temporary" will last.
But at this fateful moment, a group of "bandits" appeared out of nowhere. Dressed in black and iron armor, with large swords at their waists, sharp arrows on their shoulders, and strange walking tools on their feet, they ran like flying on the snow.
On a snowy night, they came unexpectedly, swept through the camp of the Dading garrison, looted all the military supplies inside, and then slipped away.
At the same time, there was also Xingzhong Mansion, which was not far away, and the chief official there was still there, but he had not yet received the holy decree of the new emperor, so he was worried all day long, and he had no intention of military and political affairs at all. Therefore, it was also succeeded by the gang of bandits, and all the grain and grass in the battalion of more than 20,000 people were robbed, and this winter could not be passed.
Dading Mansion is because the chief official is not there, there is no one to report such a big thing, and the commander of Xingzhong Mansion Duohe Guli is even more afraid to report, the new master is established, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't make meritorious contributions, but there is such a big thing, as long as he pokes this matter upward, his position will definitely not be able to be kept, and whether the head of Xiang Shangshang can continue to stay in place is hard to say. So he also chose "forbearance"!
In fact, such a large group of thieves and robbed so many things, it is impossible to be completely hidden, as long as someone with a heart can immediately find their traces, but unfortunately, no one wants to do this.
Zhao Tianci wore a jacket and stood on the snow-covered hillside and looked into the distance. Beside him stood four men, a man and three women.
An Shunzhang did not have as much firepower as Zhao Tianci, and he still felt cold after wearing two layers of jackets, standing there and rubbing his hands and stomping his feet, while the three women were quiet and motionless.
"Mr. An, we have made such a big move, and the Jin people still haven't reacted at all, it seems that the newly enthroned Jin Emperor is not in a small trouble!"
An Shunzhang exhaled a white breath and said, "Yes, no one has to deal with such a big matter as robbing the military camp, so it can be seen that their minds are no longer on this." ”
Zhao Tianci said, "It's time to help him!" He turned his head to look at the woman beside him, "Xiao Liangzi, have you made it clear to them?" ”
An Yuanliang stretched out his arms and put them on the shoulders of the two women, "Don't worry, they all understand it very well." ”
Zhao Tianci's gaze fell on the two women again, "Liuli, jade spots, you must think about it, it is dangerous to do this......"
"You...... Didn't you come with us? Ruri glanced up at him and hurriedly avoided him.
Zhao Tianci nodded, "Yes, I want to go with you, but once you enter your palace and become the new emperor's woman, everything will depend on you." ”
When Liuli and Yuban heard his words, their bodies trembled slightly, and they both lowered their heads.
Zhao Tianci said, "You go back and prepare first, we will leave tomorrow." ”
Liuli and Yuban nodded, and An Shunzhang led them to turn around and walk towards the mountain.
An Yuanliang saw that they were far away, and said softly, "The two of them just want to avenge their father, and they are not completely dead set on us. ”
Zhao Tianci held her two hands and smiled, "Aren't they very good to you?" ”
An Yuanliang smiled, "I didn't take it seriously, the two of them should also know that what I like is a man." So, I'm worried that they will have other things on their minds. ”
Zhao Tianci took a long breath, the cold air went straight into his lungs, and he was extremely comfortable, "In any case, this method is the most effective method at present, and it is worth trying." He pointed into the distance, "The snow is vast, the roads are not clear, the army cannot move smoothly, and it is not suitable for large-scale combat!" ”
An Yuanliang said, "No one cares if we rob the military rations, and no one cares if we destroy the White Tatar tribes in the west, so it's better to kill the Dading Mansion and Xingzhong Mansion......"
Zhao Tianci interrupted her, "No! In that case, after the Jin people are alert, they will inevitably unite again and unite with the outside world, which will be very disadvantageous to us. Therefore, it is Mr. An's plan that is the most secure, to install our people beside the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom and disintegrate them from within. ”
"Why do you have to go yourself?" An Yuanliang clenched his hand, "You can't be fine!" ”
Zhao Tianci said, "It is precisely because of this that I must go." ”
An Yuanliang gently snuggled into his arms and sighed in his ear, "That'...... What do you do when I miss you? ”
Zhao Tianci pressed lightly on her waist, "Then come to me!" ”
An Yuanliang was enthusiastic, and said drunkly, "I'll tell you a secret, I want to make the two of them die, there is a quickest way......"
Zhao Tianci grabbed her unruly hand, "I know what that method is, aren't you afraid of the cold?" ”
"Don't be afraid!" An Yuanliang squeezed into his arms and rested his head on his shoulder.
At this time, Zhao Tianci, both in stature and appearance, is no different from an adult man, An Yuanliang is nestled in his arms, like a foraging bird...... (To be continued.) )
