Chapter 425: The Assassination Before the Time Comes

Now the Song and Jin wars, the Song Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, as long as there is no military rash advance, no strategic mistakes, the destruction of Jin will inevitably succeed, the fast is three or five years, and the slow is eight or nine years.

At this time, relying on the strength of the Bazi Army and the loyalty of the Guards, it was possible to easily destroy the Pseudo-Qi, recover Shaanxi, Henan, the entire territory of Shandong, and part of Hebei, and pull the battle line down near the Yellow River.

It's just that there is no point in this, no matter how much land is recovered, it is better to destroy the living force of the Jin army.

If you get a place, it is better to destroy a division.

If the advance is too fast and the land is obtained too much, it will not only disperse the troops and make the Jin army break through, but also easily carry the political burden.

It is enough to regain the lost territory, not to capture the city, but to issue a proclamation to reassure the people. It is also necessary to stabilize the local people, solve the problem of eating and drinking, solve the distribution of cultivated land, suppress the old Haoqiang, quickly restore the economy, and reduce blood transfusion in the south.

This requires a large number of diligent officials to work hard for five or six years before it can bear fruit.

It's harder to rebuild your home than to regain lost territory!

Because of these concerns, Zhao Pu slowed down the pace of his advance, and even gave up recovering Henan, Shaanxi and other places, and directly attacked Youyun, Liaodong and other places, in order to eliminate the living force of the Jin army and reduce the political burden.

And the delay in reconquiring lost ground has also brought with it various variables.

There are always various variables in life, at this moment, Zhao Pu is still alive, and there is no problem in living to be seventy or eighty years old, but because of one variable, he may die tomorrow.

Zhao Pu has no son, although there are more than a dozen concubines and many women who sleep, but he has no son; There are no brothers either. Most of the brothers were captured by the Jin army. Once he dies, there will be no successor at all, and some careerists will only support the people of the Zhao royal family and go their own way. The entire Great Song Dynasty instantly turned into a plate of loose sand and fell apart.

Who knows this big shortcoming, the Jin army organized assassinations many times, but they all failed. Many assassinations were killed before they could get close to Zhao Pu.

"Looks like I'm going to keep my hands behind!" A hint of gloom flashed in Zhao Pu's expression.

"I'm dead. Keep a successor too! ”

Zhao Pudao felt a little lonely in his heart.

A Sarajevo incident, a death of the crown prince. The First World War began; The death of an emperor also ended a war.

If you want to stop the Northern Expedition, it is actually very simple, that is, to assassinate him.

As long as he, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is dead. There will be civil strife in the Song Dynasty. The Northern Expedition will also be halted, or even reversed.

"Summon, Wang Wuyue is coming!" Zhao Pudao.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch on the side responded.

In the palace, Wang Wuyue is a special existence, she is the emperor's woman, but she is not one of the concubines in the harem, she holds an official position in the army. He commanded a part of the Guards and had a lot of friendships with some of the generals.

And the emperor is also used to entrusting her with some important tasks.

Soon after. Wang Wuyue was wearing a battle armor and hurried over.

"Your Majesty, what's the big deal?" Wang Wuyue asked.

"Lancers, how's the training?" Zhao Pu asked.

"Still a little unskilled!" Wang Wuyue said.

"It's not skilled, it doesn't matter, it'll get better slowly. Cold weapons have come to an end, no matter how they are smelted and forged, the development of cold weapons has reached the limit; However, firearms have just begun, and they may be inferior to firearms in many aspects, but firearms have a promising future for wireless development. It's like a newborn baby, not as long as an adult, but it represents unlimited growth potential. Firearms are also the only means by which we defeat the barbarians! ”

Zhao Pu said quietly.

"The last general understands!" Wang Wuyue nodded.

"I'll give you this bag, if I'm not there one day, open it!" Zhao Pu raised his hand and handed over a bag.

"Your Majesty, you are!"

Zhao Pu said lightly, "There are always accidents in life!" If I can live to the end of gold, everything is easy to say. This trick should be invalidated; If I don't live to that day, open this bag! Zhao Pu said, "It's a favor for me!" ”

Wang Wuyue asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on!" ”

"Someone in the country of Jin is planning to poison me, information from the officials of the Military Intelligence Department!" Zhao Pu said.

"I see, it's just that Your Majesty is worried. With many protections, the entire palace city is like an iron beaten, not a single fly may be able to enter, and neither can the assassins of the Jin Army. No one can move His Majesty under the protection of many people! Wang Wuyue said confidently.

After Zhao Pu became the emperor, he encountered too many assassinations by the Jin army. And the guards have also blocked too many assassinations, and they have long stopped taking Jin Jun's tricks to heart.

"I hope so!"

Zhao Pu thought, recalling the security measures in the palace.

In order to prevent assassins and accidents, strict security measures were put in place. In Miyagi, there are more than 1,000 elite soldiers stationed, and these 1,000 elite soldiers are responsible for his safety.

Most of these elite soldiers are strictly censored, and most of them are rooted in the red, and it is impossible for them to be infiltrated.

These elite soldiers, with strong combat effectiveness and the cover of the city, are enough to hold out for a day and a night even if they are besieged by a strong army, and hold out until reinforcements outside the city arrive.

The Song Dynasty imposed a strict ban on martial arts, and weapons such as armor and swords were not allowed to appear in the hands of large families in the city at all. In other words, even if someone wanted to start a riot, they would not have any weapons.

The food in the palace is strictly reviewed, from raw materials, production, delivery, etc., several processes are strictly monitored, and each dish, at least two people try it, and Zhao Pu will eat it later. The chance of poisoning is very small.

And there is a royal doctor around to treat and prevent accidents at any time.

In other words, even if Zhao Pu is unlucky and is poisoned, the imperial doctor can detoxify and treat him at any time.

Zhao Pu thought about it, maybe he was really a little worried.

After thinking about it, the probability of being assassinated and poisoned is really low.

Historically, those emperors were poisoned, and most of the people in the palace were bought by the enemy's relatives, eunuchs, and powerful ministers to poison the emperor. But at this moment, in the era of Zhao Pu's dynasty, there were no relatives, the eunuchs had very little power, and there were no powerful ministers, and the probability of being killed was really low.

………………

"According to this method, Zhao Pu may die at least five layers!"

"There are too few opportunities on the fifth floor!"

"There are already a lot of five layers, and in the midst of strict guards, killing the king is extremely difficult in itself!"

At this moment, in a private house in Hangzhou, a group of Jin Guo's meticulous works are planning the great cause of assassinating the monarch.

Assassinating Zhao Pu is not a new thing. Jin Guo organized the dead many times and launched an assassination attempt against Zhao Pu, trying to solve this thorn in the eye, but failed and suffered heavy losses. He tried to infiltrate the Miyagi army many times, but he was discovered by the internal guards and carried out counter-killing, with countless casualties.

Many moments, Su Yi, who is the leader of the Jin Army's secret agents, has been disappointed and does not think that the assassination can be successful.

Until, a scholar appeared.

This scholar proposed an assassination plan, so the originally gloomy assassination operation became vivid.

The success rate of this plan is less than five layers, but it is enough!

"Chief, I don't know when it will be executed?" The scholar asked.

"Now is not the best time, only to wait until Song Huizong and Song Qinzong return to the Song Dynasty. At that time, it is necessary to add a fire to achieve the best effect. Su Yi said the calculation in his heart, "As long as these two wastes become emperors again, then I can seize Jiangnan when I advance, and I can row the river and rule it when I retreat!" ”

"If Zhao Pu dies at this moment, the command of the throne will fall into the hands of the children of the Song Dynasty's side branches. The situation may not be the best! ”

…………

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

In the apprehension, everything was safe, and Zhao Pu also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was thinking too much. Gradually, I discarded that information and didn't take it to heart.

Within half a year, those new policies gradually took root in the hearts of the people, and the original discomfort became adaptable.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty became stronger, and the time for another Northern Expedition had come.

At this time, the Song and Jin negotiations, which had been deadlocked for a long time, were finally reached, and there were three main ones: first, the Jin State returned Henan and Shandong, and abolished the pseudo-Qi; The second Jin Kingdom was returned to the second emperor, and there were more than 100 people in the clan; Third, the Song-Jin border opened up to mutual markets.

After the jubilation, the era of peace has arrived. (To be continued......)
