With the permission of the Song court, the Hao Jing delegation that crossed the Huai south suddenly became mighty, in addition to the guards brought by Hao Jing from Yanjing, Zhang Rou allocated more than 200 elite armor soldiers, and temporarily appointed eighteen Bozhou Confucian scholars as officials, brocade robes, good horses and servants, all the way to follow Hao Jing swaggering south. I didn't go very fast, and every time I arrived in a city, I held a very high-profile banquet and poetry meeting, and in addition to the local officials, I was invited to the so-called Shilin leaders. It is also said that it is beautiful to meet friends with poetry and writing, and on the feast, it is endowed with poetry, showing the romance of the north.
At about the same time, there were also two groups of people who embarked on the journey, and they were more flamboyant and high-profile.
These two people are the Thunderbolt Navy Army and the right prime minister and privy envoy Jia Rudao and his party.
The army is triumphant, and it is natural to be majestic, and Chen Dexing is a high-profile character. And Jia Rudao is almost as showy, and as soon as he heard that Chen Dexing was going to do something, he immediately agreed. Not only did the Perak Navy send 2,500 people (in fact, 3,000 people) to Lin'an to show off, but the Sichuan, Jinghu, and Lianghuai armies had to send elite troops to Lin'an to offer their victory, and a total of no less than 10,000 elite soldiers were mobilized. It's magnificent!
The elite soldiers sent by the Sichuan Xuanfu System and Envoy Department were the elite of the Wang family, which was under the control of the original Xingyuan Mansion and led by Wang Jian of Hezhou. Old man Wang talked about the second merit in the Battle of Sichuan, second only to Chen Dexing, who killed Meng Ke Khan. The reward given to him by the imperial court was the first to come down, and the official was promoted to the envoy of the Ningyuan Army, and he also added a general's sanitation officer (an honorary title), and he was named the founding county duke. This official is enough, but the dispatch makes people a little depressed. It was not Lizhou Road or Lizhou East Road to pacify the envoy and Zhixing Yuanfu, but to lead the guard Ma Jun's official business - in fact, this dispatch was not bad. It is the official of the horse army without horses under the front army of the main official palace (the imperial forest army of the Southern Song Dynasty official family), which is about equivalent to the Sanya Guan army of the Northern Song Dynasty. The status is quite high, but the real power is pitiful. Without the order of the Privy Council, the three commanders of the front army of the palace (in charge of the official affairs of the front of the palace, in charge of the official affairs of the guard horse army, and in charge of the official affairs of the guard infantry army) could not even be transferred to a large soldier.
But even if it can be adjusted. Wang Jian was also reluctant to take care of the army in front of the palace. For no other reason, the army in front of the palace has long been decayed to the extreme! Moreover, the internal relationship is complicated, intertwined, and difficult to get involved, and it is a dream to rectify it. When you are their commander, it's best not to go to the barracks if you have nothing to do, so as not to be angry with them!
Therefore, the reward given to Wang Jian by the imperial court is actually a bright rise and a dark fall!
And the fate of Liu Quan, another general in Sichuan, is similar. The Zizhou Road pacification envoy did not arrive, and was sent to serve as the pacification envoy of the Lizhou West Road - it was the forefront of the entire Sichuan defense line, but it had been ravaged by the Mongols, the city was dilapidated, the population was sparse, and it was a ruined white land. Moreover, the imperial court is now financially exhausted, and it really can't come up with much military expenses to open the town, and in the end, most of them will have to use the meeting to make up the money. As for recruiting immigrants in the mainland to enrich Lizhou Road or something, it is completely a picture cake. Sichuan has been fighting for 25 years, and the population loss in the Chengdu Plain and the mountainous areas of northern Sichuan is as high as 100%! Who else would be so bold as to go there?
As for the military horses guarding the border. That is, Liu Quan's old Luzhou department of 20,000 or 30,000 people. In addition to getting some military equipment supplements, no one has been added to the strong generals. In fact, there is no way to add it. There was nothing on the Lizhou West Road, it was impossible to feed the army, and all supplies had to be transferred from Chongqing. Chongqing is surrounded by mountainous areas, and its output is limited, so it cannot support many troops at all. At present, Lu Wenhuan, Liu Quan, Zhang Jue (Wang Jianbu, who will be transferred to Xingyuan Mansion, that is, Hanzhong garrison), Yu Xing, Yang Wen and other five-route armies in central Sichuan, the food and salary of 150,000 or 60,000 troops can no longer be raised, so they have to rely on thousands of miles downstream for transfer. How can I add more soldiers? But with only 20,000 or 30,000 people, how can they hold the defense line in northern Sichuan, which has long been broken?
A lot of problems have made Liu Cheng's beard a lot whiter. When Wang Jian left Sichuan, he also went to Luzhou to see his old fellow and drank all night. In the end, I hugged my head and cried. Then one Xiao Ran led the army north, and the other left Sichuan to the east.
Because he is on the same road as Chen Dexing. Wang Jian took the 1,000 or more elite of the Wang family on Guangyang Island and boarded the ships of the Thunderbolt Navy on Guangyang Island and went east downstream.
When the fleet sailed out of Kuimen, Wang Jian stood on the deck of a car and ship, and looked back at the endless mountains and mountains with great emotion. Twenty years ago, he followed Meng Heng to enter Sichuan from here, defeated the Mongols who invaded Sichuan, and then fought all the way to recover most of Sichuan. And this time, after the Mengsong peace negotiation, it can be regarded as the restoration of the whole Sichuan, and this veteran who has been fighting in Sichuan for 20 years can also be regarded as a complete merit.
But at this moment, Wang Jian's love became more and more depressed, he only felt that the good situation of the whole Sichuan recovery was a dream, and once he woke up, it would be the catastrophe of the Great Song Dynasty! And he himself is already powerless.
It seems that he was infected by him, and Wang Yanqing, who was by Wang Jian's side, was not much higher. Just looked at the Thunderbolt warships with flags waving around him, and sighed softly: "What an elite army, I don't know if it will become the same as the soldiers of all roads in Sichuan in 20 years?" If that is the case, who will protect the home and country of the Han people at that time? ”
Wang Jian's expression moved, and he turned his head to look at his son: "20 years? I think it would be nice to have 10 years of peace...... Yan'er, once the Mongolian civil strife is over, can you still expect the Tartars to abide by the peace treaty? ”
……
"Impossible, impossible...... The official family will not marry the princess to some real golden prince. The official family loves this daughter the most, how can they be willing to marry her thousands of miles away? It's no fun! ”
In the building boat where Jia Rudao was riding, the traitor was fiddling with the cricket jar, shaking his head and talking to a few henchmen. He did not stop Hao Jing's difficult things, although he yin Kublai Khan on the issue of paying the New Year's coin, but it does not mean that he has to fight Kublai Khan to the end.
Now the news is that the Mongolian civil war has just begun. In April, Kublai Khan convened the Kuritai Assembly in Yanjing and became the Great Khan of the Mongols with the support of his elite soldiers and the suzerain, Tachar - which was of course unruly. According to the rules, the Kuritai Conference should be held in Horin, the capital of the Great Mongolian State, and the kings of the east and west provinces should participate in the election. If Kublai Khan can do this, then the elder brother of the Golden Horde, Hulegu, who occupies Persia and eats the Great Food, can also hold a Kuritai Assembly to elect himself as the Great Khan?
So what is the reaction of Brother Ali Buge and those sect kings who are close to him, you can also figure it out with your heels! A battle is inevitable.
And Jia Nidao's abacus is, of course, to let the Mongols' internal strife continue as long as possible, and it would be good to fight for a hundred years!
And to achieve this goal, you can't stab Kublai Khan at a time when the Mongolian civil war is just starting out, and who is strong and who is weak does not know. If Kublai Khan is stabbed to death, wouldn't that help Ali Buge unify Mongolia?
In the past, the Great Song Dynasty suffered all the losses in this regard -- first Lianjin Tuliao, and as a result, Jingkang was ashamed. Later, the United Mongolia destroyed the gold, and as a result, Mongolia was beaten for another 25 years! How smart Jia seems to be Dao, how can he do it again?
So he doesn't plan to tear his face with Kublai Khan now, but not tearing his face is not the same as marrying Emperor Lizong's baby daughter to Mongolia...... It's not negotiable! How much Emperor Lizong likes to ascend to the princess, he doesn't know yet? Is that the real flesh of the heart, marrying a fierce and unreasonable Tartar? Who the hell dares to bring it up, but it's not as simple as raising the palace view!
Hearing Jia Rudao's very affirmative tone, Liang Chongru also knew that this matter was not a big deal - but he also knew now that Princess Shengguo was going to marry Chen Dexing! If this thing is going to happen, what will happen to him, you can understand it with your heels.
A few days ago, he didn't give Chen Dexing a lot of bad luck. Chen Dexing must know what he did! The reason why he didn't retaliate must be because he wanted to marry the princess...... Before that, it was not good to have a conflict with Jia Yidao. And after the princess arrived, Chen Dexing was not only the son-in-law of the official family, but also the nephew and son-in-law of Jia Yidao! At that time, there is no need for Chen Dexing to make a move, as long as the princess of Shengguo talks to her uncle, he Liang Chongru should degrade Yazhou!
"Xianggong, if it is...... Let that real golden prince come to Lin'an to live for a long time? Liang Chongru knew that it was impossible to marry the princess of Shengguo, so he thought about it and continued to try.
"Impossible...... Kublai Khan sent his son to Lin'an as a hostage? Jia Rudao still shook his head, but his tone was not as resolute as before.
Liang Chongru's eyes rolled, and he already knew that there was a door. However, he didn't continue while the iron was hot, but just pondered in his head how to make it happen.
"If this is really the case, there is a Mongolian prince in hand, and this peace can be guaranteed for at least 20 years......" Jiang Wanli shook his fan and took over the conversation.
"It's useless," Liao Yingzhong shook his head, "Kublai Khan had 10 sons, one dead and nine...... And the rules in Mongolia are different from ours here, there is no saying that the eldest son inherits, they are the youngest son guarding the stove, maybe this real gold is a worthless eldest son. And... The matter of the princess marrying Chen Qingzhi has been decided, so why bother with complications? Do you want the 20,000 elite soldiers in Chen Qingzhi's hands? Now the court has no soldiers in its hands that can fight, and the next thing is to cut the domain, there is no elite soldier in the hand, how can this domain be cut? ”
Jiang Wanli was right to think about it, smiled and said, "Brother Qunyu is still reasonable...... Most of this Kublai Khan would not have sent his son to Lin'an. By the way, Qunyu, Yifu, this Hao Jing is now leading a group of Northern Confucians to swagger around, what do you think he is planning? (To be continued) R580
