Zhao Gou didn't expect his deputy marshal Zong Ze to fall to King Qin so completely, and he actually questioned himself bluntly in front of all the ministers, making him red-faced. He also knew that even if he took over the so-called Jiangshan Sheji, it would be just a devastated and dilapidated mess. With his own ability, it is not easy to reorganize the rivers and mountains and recover the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, in the eyes of the military and people of the Song Dynasty, the second emperor is still there, even if he ascends the throne at best, he can only be regarded as an acting emperor, if he forcibly seizes the throne under the condition that the queen mother listens to the government, he also has to take care of his throne to get the name is not right, and now although the king of Qin is not in Beijing, all the brothers have returned to Beijing with the queen mother, and the queen mother is anxious, and he directly neutralizes a person from the brothers, and he has no place to cry when he comes.

"Hearing that King Qin was defeated, this king was anxious for a while, and he was indeed a little reckless!" Zhao Gou hurriedly explained, "This king just wants to send the two queen queens and the ladies of the Great Inner to the southeast to visit the southeast." This king should stay alone in the Central Plains with his colleagues, train soldiers, increase troops and gather horses, resist the Jurchens, and defend the Beijing Division! ”

"King Kang is righteous, although the Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Guangwu, and the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, but that's it!" Li Gang saw that King Kang swore so much, he had nothing to say, he could only praise him, but he didn't understand Zhao Gou's thoughts, so he continued: "Gaozu, Guangwu, and Taizong all personally led the troops, put on armor, braved arrows, and the world was won immediately." Of course, this is also the case today, but when the king chariots away from the Central Plains, morale will be lost and people will be terrified. Now operating the two rivers, although the hard work, but then can enjoy comfort, if you take a moment of peace, how to get the troubles. The king has the meaning of resisting gold. It should also be the intention of the king of the court and the opposition, please announce it! ”

"Stick killing" and "praising killing" if you don't look carefully. It's so much the same. In fact, we can see that although these soldiers recruited by Zhao Gou did not save Bianjing. attacked the Jurchen, but it became his selfish self-protection and his personal escort. Everyone can see that Li Gang naturally knows in his heart, he first held the stick and roasted Zhao Gou on the fire, forcing him to make a statement.

"Li Xiang's words are extremely true, this king will never leave Bianjing!" Li Gang's argument is impeccable, and Zhao Gou also understands that if he does not show himself at this time, he is a virtuous minister and a good general who is loyal to the monarch and defends the country. Then in front of the ministers and the queen mother, he had to take a strong tone to express his position and block the mouths of the people of the world.

"Excellent, at this time, most of the Jin army was fighting fiercely with the King of Qin, and the army guarding the prefecture and county was only a few thousand people, and the few were only more than a hundred people, and the rest of the armed forces were driving the people and making them cut their hair as soldiers. After Zhang was ordered to be appeased, he sent a spy to communicate with him. The coerced Song people were willing to respond internally. If the official army attacks, the inside should be combined with the outside, and several states can be pointed out. The Generalissimo should have sent his troops and horses to recover it as soon as possible! Li Gang saw that Zhao Gou had confessed, and made persistent efforts. The king should 'criticize the hypocrisy', first overcome the three states of Rui, Wei and Huai nearby, and then take advantage of the victory to go north. Then the siege of the counties will be solved, and it will definitely be recovered. Hebei has nothing to do since then! ”

"What Li Xiang said is good, but there is a lack of food and grass in the army. The morale is too weak, I am afraid that it will not be able to go deep, and it will be difficult to dispatch! "Zhao Gou has been forced into a corner, and he has to think of it as a snake.

"The king can rest assured, the lower officials are raising funds in many ways, and they will be distributed in a few days, and please leave as soon as possible to relieve the siege of King Qin!" Li Gang said, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Li Gang may know very well that compared with today's state affairs and the reign of the Second Emperor, there is little difference, and today's affairs must be external to the strong and strong, internal elimination of thieves, repair of military and political affairs, change morale, prosperity and wealth, leniency of the people, reform of the law, and save redundant officials. Honesty orders are touching, rewards and punishments are given to boost morale, generals are selected to be appointed, and supervisors and county guards are selected to pursue the new policy. After the 'autonomy' is completed, the political affairs have been repaired, and then the big move can be discussed, the guilty gold people can be questioned, and the two saints can be returned.

However, although Zhao Gou is relatively outstanding among the princes of the Emperor Taishang, his weight is much weaker than that of the real master, which lacks experience and lacks a brave and strong heart. Now it is necessary to have a British lord to reform the extravagant and decadent atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty that has been formed for many years in the court, in order to prosper, and the King of Qin, who is still fighting in Hebei, is much stronger than this King Kang in all aspects.

Although the King of Qin was not satisfactory in some aspects, he behaved rudely, often added fists and feet, and liked to solve problems in a military way, but he also had to see his military and political talents, and he quietly made many great things in the northwest, and now he led the army alone to resist the Jin army in Hebei, and such a person was needed in this troubled era. Since God has given him a chance to assist the government, he must do his best to elect a good lord for the country...

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Gou returned to the Yamen, the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and he asked the Queen Mother to patrol and prepare for another government at a critical moment, but after a long time of painstaking discussion, he was ruined by Li Gang and Zong Ze, and almost made himself saddled with the charge of supporting the army and trying to seize the throne.

"I just want to lead the troops into the city to force the palace, what can they do to me?" Zhao Gou suddenly roared.

"King, be quiet, I'm worried that the wall has ears!" His shout startled Kang Lu, who was waiting on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.

"Why did God treat me like this, give me a chance and take him away again, don't you still see that this king is not living hard enough?" Zhao Gou cried bitterly.

"King, don't be discouraged, everyone is waiting for the day you ascend the throne, now that the army is gathered in Bianjing, you should make a decision as soon as possible!" Kang Lu took a cup of tea and whispered.

"Hehe... Hehe! Zhao Gou smiled bitterly, this is really the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, he originally had no intention of taking the throne, he just wanted to save his life, but he didn't expect that under the persuasion of everyone, he came to the present step by step. When he was ready to climb to the top, he was slapped down again, and the edict didn't count, and the people who wrote the persuasion table died, closed, and degraded, all of which were fucking over, but he was still on the fire, and he couldn't go up again, and he was unwilling to come down, and he couldn't take that step with the jade seal in his hand.

"Great King, there are only less than 3,000 guards of King Qin guarding the imperial city in Bianjing, and there are only 10,000 soldiers in Hezhong in the inner city, and there are five or six thousand cavalry troops left outside the city, and the rest are all volunteers, but we have hundreds of thousands of troops as long as they enter the city, who can stop them!" Kang Lu handed over the handkerchief and asked King Kang to wipe away his tears.

"You go and invite Huang and Wang to the mansion to talk!" At this time, there are soldiers who are the grass kings, Zhao Gou listened to Kanglu's analysis, and his confidence was slightly lifted...

Later, two of Zhao Gou's senior staff officers came, and after a night of planning, the three agreed to let the soldiers under the Marshal's Mansion enter the capital in the name of asking for money, take the opportunity to seize the city gate, enter the imperial city, and then surrender the weapons of the Zhongxing army guarding the palace city, and force the empress dowager to issue an order to establish Zhao Gou as the emperor. When the King of Qin rushed back, the big thing had been decided, what could he do, would he dare to rebel against the world's condemnation? Even if he led the troops to come, he could also issue an edict in the name of the emperor to order the kings of various counties and counties, and the world could be determined at that time.

This plan can be said to be shot by three people, who made them have no experience in rebellion, and Zong Ze has no experience in this regard. I didn't think about how many trump cards I had in my hands, how many people would follow them, whether the ministers of the DPRK and China would support him, and whether the states and counties would respond? didn't leave a way back for himself at all, and he didn't think about how it would end up once he failed, it was completely a few people's assumptions, as long as he had an edict, the world would have changed hands with a wave of his hand.

All the starting points of their coup d'état were based on the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Qin Wang's army was inferior to theirs, and they raised their hands to surrender when they saw that they were numerous, but they did not think that Zhao Ta's army took the route of elite soldiers, and after so many years of fighting, they often won more with less when the troops were at a disadvantage. What's even more terrifying is that I didn't think about how many troops would obey the orders of the marshal's office...

On the surface, the strength of the Generalissimo's Mansion is really not weak, it has gathered more than 100,000 soldiers from Hebei and even Henan, Shandong and other places, relatively speaking, it has played a positive role in gathering and retaining the local troops of the Song Dynasty. Looking at the composition of its army, its main body is the Qinwang troops sent by various provinces and prefectures in Hebei, as well as the rebels and bandits from all over the country.

These troops followed Zhao Gou all the way south and became the personal entourage of King Kang. But in terms of quality, most of the military horses were improvised, and the right army was under the command of Liu Hao, and the troops under Liu Hao were all militia ranks; The troops under the command of Ding Shun and Kong Yanzhou were composed of thieves and thieves; Even Zong Ze's team is mostly recruited from Cizhou.

It can be seen from this that the composition of the Marshal's Army is complex, and it has absorbed various armed forces of different natures, most of which are military thieves, bandits, militia ranks, routs, and local original garrisons, resulting in the mixed characteristics of the Marshal's Army. Corruption of discipline was to be expected, and the Qinwang army, militia, and rebel army under the command of local officials were also undisciplined, and there were frequent incidents of fleeing from battle, looting booty, and refusing to accept orders.

But these are not the main problems, the fatal thing is that at the beginning of the formation of the Generalissimo's Mansion there were two opinions, the main battle and the main peace, and the armies of the main battle faction with Zongze as the main battle were squeezed out of the army during the period of the Daimyofu and were sent to be stationed in Kaideokfu. And Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others of the main harmony were reused by Zhao Gou and became his henchmen and commanded the main force of the Marshal's Mansion, but he has always avoided the war and never confronted the Jin army head-on.

It is said that after recovering Kaifeng, after the Empress Dowager listened to the government, the Shuaifu army with the mission of rescuing Kaifeng returned to the Gyeonggi region, and its mission should be over, but Zhao Gou not only did not disband the Shuaifu, but also participated in the competition with the imperial court for the puppet Chu army and the Qinwang army from all walks of life to enhance its strength, but the effect did not seem to be good. However, these disadvantages were not taken into account in the 'big things' he was planning, so he hurriedly made a decision and prepared to put it into action... (To be continued......)
