Chapter 12 Pacifying Jiangnan
The news of the Miao-Liu mutiny quickly spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
Although more than 100 messengers were dispatched, divided into two teams, all the way to gallop by land, all the way up the river, straight into Jingxiang, from Hanzhong through the Qinling Mountains, straight into Hanzhong.
Because Henan was still in the hands of the Jin people, they had to go so far and make a detour to Chang'an.
Miao and Liu also knew that it was not urgent, and at the same time they sent messengers, they also entered the palace to see the queen mother, and once again asked for an edict to appease the people, and ordered Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yang Yi and other generals to stay in the garrison and not move without permission.
The Song Dynasty did not have the practice of sending eunuchs to pass on edicts, and this edict was issued from Lin'an, and the officials who issued the edicts of all sizes went to various places in the starry night.
was ordered to go to Zhenjiang to issue an edict, but it was the Hubu Lang Zhongye Zongge who resolutely handed over Kanglu during the mutiny that day to prevent the chaotic soldiers from rushing to the city tower. During the reign of Zhao Gou, he gradually trusted him, and he mastered the armor battle in the forbidden army with the official position of the Tobu Langzhong, although the official position was not high, in fact, the duty was very important, and he was also extremely influential on the generals and soldiers of the forbidden army.
On that day, the chaotic army rushed into the inner palace, if it weren't for him, I was afraid that there would be no left of the few guards in front of the palace around Zhao Gou.
After Zhao Gou lost Yangzhou, he was indeed unpopular for a considerable period of time, and both the government and the opposition were resentful. The rebellion launched by the Central Praetorian Guard was also a manifestation of this frustration.
But like now, even the closest guards around him almost left him behind, but it was because of Zhao Huan's return.
Although Ye Zongge temporarily returned to protect Zhao Gou that day, so as not to be injured by the rebellious army, it was also out of the scholar's instinctive loyalty to the monarch, in his opinion, although Zhao Gou had great trust in himself, he was not an emperor worthy of respect and loyalty.
Jingkang, who is far away in Chang'an, is orthodox.
Moreover, in addition to orthodoxy, Zhao Huan is obviously much more heroic than Zhao Gou, except for a few of Zhao Gou's henchmen, no one really supports him.
If it weren't for Zhao Huan's fear of causing civil strife, and he knew in his heart that there was already a time bomb around Zhao Gou, even if Zhao Gou was forced to abdicate, Zhao Gou would have to obey the edict.
And Zhao Huan did not force Zhao Gou to abdicate, as a civil servant, and he was very valued by Zhao Gou's side, so naturally he still had to do his best to serve his life, and he had done his best for the country.
Such a complicated situation and ideas, Miao Fu and other generals could not understand it at all.
When the ministers were invited to go out to issue an edict to appease the people's hearts, these generals of the forbidden army were uneasy in their hearts, lest the ministers would not accept it and refuse to serve their lives. If this is the case, the morale of the army and the people will be chaotic, and it will be difficult to maintain it.
It's just that when they were looking for Ye Zongge, he immediately took the order without hesitation.
Due to the urgency of the matter, after setting off from Lin'an, Ye Zongge and the others said in the starry night, except for resting their horses, they rarely stopped. Eating and drinking, they were all on the horse, except that the sleepiness was really unbearable, so they dismounted and took a nap for the time being, and then continued to move forward. In this way, but five days later, Zhenjiang was less than 100 miles away.
Knowing that he was about to arrive, Ye Zongge ordered to rest for the time being in the evening, and a group of servants had a full meal in a small hotel, and slept for two hours, when he got up and went on the road, although the night was dark and the cold wind gusted, everyone was in good spirits, and the horses also came back to strength.
Galloping all the way, until the sky was faintly white, there were bursts of chickens crowing from the villages along the way, and when pedestrians and farmers who got up early began to appear, Ye Zongge stopped at the horse and rested for a while, and asked that it was less than ten miles away from Zhenjiang, and everyone was relieved.
This long-distance travel, but the servants who accompanied Ye Zongge to issue the edict and the soldiers of the forbidden army who protected him were tired as if they had taken off their skin.
The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is unbearable, and the weather will be bright and unclear, which is the most unbearable. Although everyone wore extremely thick clothes, the gusts of cold wind were like knives cutting axes, and they kept drilling into the human body, until they were cold to the bones.
Despite this, Ye Zongge's heart was like a fire burning. The two emperors competed with each other, greatly affected the psychology of the scholars, and became a heavy stone in his heart, and now in his opinion, the big thing has been decided, the army and people of the Great Song Dynasty will resist the Jin soldiers under the leadership of the Emperor Jingkang, the Great Song Dynasty has a large number of people, and the army and financial resources are abundant, since then, what else is there to be afraid of!
He was bold by nature, riding a horse all the way, feeling the cold wind piercing into the bones, and then looking at the faint sight of Zhenjiang City, his heart was even more happy. Because of the white breath in his mouth, he turned his head and ordered a few servants who were riding horses to follow the house: "It's getting early, everyone work hard, and after a while, you will enter the city, and the edict will be read, so you can go to breakfast and have a good rest." β
The servant soldiers who followed him were cold and unbearable, and at this time he did not stop all the way, and no one dared to speak. Although the sun has risen high at this time, a round of red sun hangs overhead, and the eyes are hot, but it can't give people the slightest heat. Everyone was unbearable in the morning, and when he said this, an old adult family member smiled and said: "My lord, since we have all arrived in Zhenjiang City, we are not in a hurry for this moment, let's find a breakfast shop outside the city, have breakfast at will, and drink hot porridge." β
As soon as he started, the rest of the people also gossiped: "Exactly, eat a few pieces of Hu Cake, drink some hot porridge, and you can also go to the cold!" β
"This damn weather, this wind is like a knife, I'm afraid that there is no heat in my chest at all."
"The hardest thing is riding on a horse, and I can't even stomp my feet, and I'm afraid that my feet will be difficult to walk on the ground for a while."
Listening to everyone's gossip and complaints, Ye Zongge was silent with a smile at first, and when everyone finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "We can't get off the horse to eat, it's too late." I have a heavy responsibility, and there is no delay in the slightest. β
He was actually very sad, and he also wanted to go down to rest and drink some hot porridge to warm up, but he just thought that he was going to meet Han Shizhong and say something big. As soon as the edict of Jingkang arrived, it was never repeated.
As soon as he thought of this, the sense of responsibility in his body and the eagerness to know Han Shizhong's attitude made him unwilling to stay for a moment.
Yin said with a smile: "After suffering for so many days, I am not in a hurry for this time and a half." β
first stopped everyone's talk, and then ordered: "Come, take out the wine you bought yesterday and divide it, everyone drink to keep out the cold!" β
He first took out the wine jug on the horse's back and drank a few sips into his mouth, and a few drops fell on his beard, Ye Zongge didn't wipe it, just stretched out his tongue and threw it all into his mouth.
As you drink, you take out a few more pieces of beef jerky, munch on them and swallow them, then take a few more sips of wine.
He drank a lot of alcohol, and this small wine pot couldn't get him drunk even if he came to more than a dozen pots, but he thought that he would see Han Shizhong for a while, and after a few sips, he only ate meat and didn't drink alcohol, and after a while, he swallowed a few pieces of beef.
In this way, not only the soldiers of the forbidden army in front of and behind him were dumbfounded, but the people who came and went near the gate of Zhenjiang City at this time saw this official like this, and they also saw Leng Zheng.
Only his servants were surprised, but they still couldn't help but smile.
Zhenjiang City is very close to the Yangtze River, when you go to the city gate, you only feel that the river wind is mighty, the sound of the water is whistling, a gust of wind is blowing, and the clothes of the people who blow are crackling.
"Happy!"
Ye Zongge threw the wine pot in his hand, turned his head, and looked at the Yangtze River in the north.
In the end, it is still far away, but you can see the water vapor rising in the distance, and you can't see a big river like a belt.
He felt a little regretful in his heart, but remembered a poem he heard not long ago, at this time he drank a few sips of wine, and felt that the state affairs were promising, so he couldn't help but chant: "Life is a hero, death is also a ghost, from now on thinking of Xiang Yu, refuse to cross Jiangdong!" β
After groaning, he waved his whip and said: "I only hope that my Great Song soldiers will cross the river and never return!" β
Before the words fell, I heard someone not far away responding: "Good poetry!" β
Listening to the voice, it was a woman.
Ye Zongge turned his head to look, and saw a young beautiful woman looking at him with a smile. Seeing that his eyes turned, the woman did not dodge, but arched her hand and said with a smile: "The good poems made by the adults are admired by the little women!" β
"How dare you, this is not done by the lower officials, but by another strange woman."
"Oh?"
The woman raised her eyebrows and was amazed.
Although she was born with picturesque eyebrows and was very beautiful, she was so heroic and more beautiful than a man when she did such a move at this time.
Ye Zongge looked at Daqi and saw that she was dressed luxuriously, and she was also dressed like a noblewoman, she was actually riding on a horse, holding a baby in her arms, and she actually wore a sword around her waist.
As a believer in Cheng's science, he didn't want to talk to a woman on the street, but at this moment, he was overwhelmed by this woman's bearing, and unconsciously replied: "This poem was written by Li Yi'an, and I also heard someone sing and read it when I was in Lin'an, and I wrote it down." Shi Cai thought that the Yangtze River was in front of him, and unconsciously groaned. β
"Actually, Li Yi'an has always been a tactful word, and he can write such a generous and wonderful manlike poem, which is really admirable!"
The woman first suddenly realized, and after sighing and admiring, she smiled again and said to Ye Zongge: "The adult's face is full of dust, and it is obvious that she has important tasks, so the little woman will not delay the adult." β
After that, he actually hugged his fists again, and his posture was chic and crisp, and he only said: "My lord, please!" β
Ye Zongge was stunned for a moment, but he also returned the salute: "Madam, please!" β
After answering the salute, he rode his horse and rode straight to Han Shizhong's residence in the city.
