On 17 October, the Song army, which had landed from Yingzhou, occupied and controlled Yingzhou, Yuguan and Pingzhou and their northern prefectures and counties with swift movements. That night, taking advantage of the high tide again, the large transport fleet of the navy leaned on the trestle bridge that was repaired, and the whole army mobilized to rush the horses, supplies, and ammunition ashore overnight, and the unloaded fleet retreated back to the deep sea again in the early morning. Then the troops were divided into two routes, one of which was mainly composed of a detachment of transport fleets and returned to Dengzhou; On the other hand, a detachment of warships carried the 4th Marine Brigade to Liaodong Bay, where they would undertake the task of intercepting the Jin navy and harassing its coastal prefectures and counties to contain the Jin army in Shangjing.

Zhao Ta ordered Ma Wei to lead three marine brigades to stay in Yingzhou to guard Yuguan, and he led the leopard to lead the four dragoon brigades to Pingzhou, and at the same time ordered the wolf generals to assemble troops in Pingzhou after pacifying the prefectures and counties. Most of the troops in Pingzhou City were transferred away by Wushu, so that the rear was empty, and the Song army was like entering a no-man's land, except for Pingzhou, there was no decent resistance, but the Song army still killed the officials and tribal leaders of the Jin State, and the officials of all sizes were killed.

The army rolled forward, and Zhao Ta only brought the internal guard brigade to accompany him when he boarded the ship in Mingzhou in order to cover people's eyes, and most of the accompanying guards stayed in Jiangnan and returned north by Zhe Meiluan and Jianxi under the guard of honor and pretending to be the emperor. Now for the safety of the emperor, all the generals unanimously asked the holy car to follow the brigade forward, and now that all the armies are deployed, there is no need to worry about the news being revealed, so they simply played the banner of the Great Song Emperor and erected the apricot yellow emperor flag.

"Your Majesty, our army has slaughtered the officials of the Jin State, will it be too much to eradicate Haoqiang, and the concubines are worried that the officials of the DPRK and China will chew their tongues again!" In the car, Zhao Xin looked at the battle reports sent by various departments and said worriedly.

"Call me a tyrant, bloodthirsty and killing. It hurts the virtue of heaven and damages the reputation of our ceremonial state! Zhao said with a smile. Although Zhao Xin said it tactfully, he had already heard the subtext.

"Just... Even if it's it! Zhao Xin sighed. She also knew that the Great Song Dynasty strictly forbade the harem to interfere in politics, and although this matter could not shake the emperor's position, it would leave a stain on history.

"Now that the war is urgent, every soldier has his mission, I don't have time to persuade them to surrender, let alone the time to appease them, only to kill them so that they won't make trouble behind their backs, and these people have a few good things, killing them is just in addition to the trouble. The gains and losses are beyond the comprehension of those in the court! Zhao Ta said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, but in this way, we will cut off the retreat of those who intend to surrender, and we will fight to the death to the end, and it may provoke a popular uprising!" Zhao Xin saw that the official family insisted on going his own way, and persuaded again.

"Hehe, what you said is not unreasonable, but things are special, and they should vary from place to place, and they cannot be generalized!" Zhao Ta said with a smile. Her own imperial concubine is not an ordinary person, not only proficient in military affairs, but also presided over the military and political affairs of one party, and is quite talented. It's just that you can't be out of office due to your identity and gender, otherwise you will definitely be able to become a minister.

"What's different about this land of swallows?" Zhao Xin also knew that the official family was not a person who was easy to kill, and he showed mercy to the princes and ministers of the Khitan, the old enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, in Datong. Patiently persuade to take it for your own use, and now you must have other ideas in addition to the above reasons.

"People are different!" Zhao Ta twisted his face and said. This place was originally the place where the Han people lived, and the later stone Jingjiao dedicated the land to the Khitan. After more than 200 years, the Han people here have been different from the Han people in the Central Plains, although they still retain part of the Han culture, but they have also been influenced by the nomadic people, that is, different from the Han and Khitan, but should be their own people. Zhao said that the Han people in the land of Youyan have been changed by time, and they have had to succumb to power and change their cultural traditions in order to survive.

"Well, what His Majesty said is true, a hundred years have made them forget their identity, no longer identify with their homeland, but succumb to the strong, value interests and ignore righteousness, the rebellion of the righteous army and the victorious army is an example!" Zhao Xin nodded.

"This can't be blamed entirely on them, after Youyun returned to Liao, it has always been the bottom of the whole society, and the status of the Bohai and Xi people, who are also conquered nations, is higher than that of the Han people, and if you want to change your life, you have to learn this, so that they have become the 'wall-riding faction' wall-heading grass, whoever has a big fist, who gives them benefits, will depend on whom!" Zhao Ta said that during the Xuanhe period, when Tong Guan was fighting Liao, it was ineffective to appease the Youyan Han people with great righteousness, and only after the reward was issued did he appease Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Jue and other Han generals, but the Great Song Dynasty has never been able to stand up to the waist, and they have stumbling everywhere, and their loyalty can be imagined.

"Now that the Jurchens have been fighting for years, the population has decreased sharply, and they have all classified the Bohai and Xi people into the Jurchen tribe, but they still drive the Han people as slaves, which shows that they don't trust the Youyan Han people, but they are still willing to drive them, sad! His Majesty killed the Jurchen officials just to deter them? Zhao Xin said.

"That's half right, now the situation in the Land of Hidden Swallows has changed again, and it is different from before!" Zhao Ta took a sip of tea and said that he had barely closed his eyes for three days now.

"What's the difference, aren't they also dissatisfied with the Jurchens?" Zhao Xin asked.

"Do you know how many people my Great Song River lost, Henan, and Hedong when the Jin army went south three times?" Zhao Tan asked rhetorically, Zhao Xin shook his head and said that he didn't know, "During the Xuanhe period, there were about 39.7 million people in the northern part of the Central Plains, and after Jingkang, according to the state capitals, there were more than 28.3 million, and the population dropped by 11.4 million, about half of them moved to Jiangnan, and the rest either died under the iron hooves of the Jin army, or were taken captive to the Jin country, and most of them were placed in the Youyan area. The people of Anxi and Wangdu counties twenty miles ahead are the people of the Central Plains who were captured by the Jurchens from the two counties of Anxi and Wangdu in Zhongshan Prefecture, and they are still named after they are settled! ”

"Oh, I understand, the meaning of His Majesty is that Youyan still has millions of people in the Central Plains, they have only been away from the country for a few years, they must miss their homeland, their hearts are attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and they hate the Jurchens. And tell the people of the Central Plains who were captured that the Song army had come to Youyan to rescue them, and the killing of the Jurchens was to inform their determination, so we had the support of millions of people in the Central Plains out of thin air, which became a big help for us, and it was killing two birds with one stone! Zhao Xin said.

"Yes, as long as these people are used by us again, we can ensure that the rear is worry-free and calmly attack the enemy!" Zhao Tan nodded and said... (To be continued......)
