Chapter 159
Zhao Huan's words were very ordinary, but in the ears of everyone in the audience, they were deafening, like being struck by lightning. The Han people lost the sixteen states of Yanyun for a long time, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were ordinary, and the character was cowardly, and the founding Taizu Taizong also had the intention of recovering Yanyun.
And at this moment, Zhao Huan escaped as a captive and operated for a few years, not only to recover the lost homeland of the year, annihilate the barbarians and stubborn, but also to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and with everyone's understanding of him, this majesty in front of him will definitely not be satisfied with the recovery of the sixteen states, and will inevitably march on a large scale to destroy the Jin country in one fell swoop, so as to prevent future troubles.
Thinking of this, everyone was excited, with all kinds of complicated thoughts, bowed to Zhao Huan suddenly, and replied: "The ministers will definitely assist Your Majesty, sweep Hebei, and recover Yanyun." ”
"Okay, that's for the best."
Zhao Huan smiled with satisfaction, and said: "I don't have to make trouble in person, and several times I have to do it as a last resort." Now the army is at its peak, the army is mighty, and it will definitely win. ”
Historically, when the army went out, the emperor would definitely give things and wine, which was also the proper meaning. Emperor Zhao Huan's identity, personally to the Taiyuan army to set up a strong line, has a great boost to morale, Hebei has no major war related to the overall luck, just with superior forces, swept the past, the emperor personally conquered or not, it is not related to the overall situation. At that moment, everyone leaned over and said yes, and discussed the details of the levy, that is, they each said goodbye.
Zhao Huan ran all the way, originally extremely tired, discussing politics for a day, watching the sunset outside the window, the golden light reflected. The spirit is refreshing. Standing up at the moment, he stretched his waist for a long time, and said with a smile: "I have discussed the affairs of the day, and I am tired of work, so it is better to go out for a walk to relieve some fatigue." ”
He was surrounded by palace guards. There were no eunuchs, and he heard that the emperor was going to the palace for a walk, but he didn't have anything to say.
Orihiko arrived in a hurry. Seeing that Zhao Huan was full of interest, he originally felt that the emperor was troublesome, and he wanted to persuade Zhao Huan to calm people's minds, so he had to take it back. He was originally to promote the Imperial City Division, and the palace was waiting for him, and Zhao Huan put the safety of the entire palace in his hands. The royal car has just arrived, and many places still need to be rearranged, and the partial emperor is not troublesome. I suddenly remembered to go out and play! But he really taught him that he had suffering, and he couldn't say it.
Seeing the bitter face of Zhe Yanshi, Zhao Huan smiled and asked, "What's the matter, the general in front of the palace is not happy?" ”
Zhi Yanshi hurriedly bowed his head and replied, "How dare the minister." I'm just thinking about the defense. I lost my mind for a while, and I ask your Majesty to forgive me. ”
Zhao Huan smiled and approached him. patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "There are all garrisons around Taiyuan City, and there are very few people, and the pedestrian division of Fei Lun has already sent elites here, one is to check the customs defense, and the other is to prevent the Jin soldiers from working carefully." In addition, Yu Yunwen and others are meticulous in their work, and they know that I will definitely prepare early, and there are so many things. What else are you worried about? ”
Zhi Yanshi lowered his head and thought about it, and knew that what the emperor said was very reasonable. He also smiled at the moment and replied, "It's the minister who thinks too much." ”
According to the habit of the Song people, they originally had lunch at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and then ate some snacks after the night, and did not eat again. Because of the urgency of the military situation, Zhao Huan convened a meeting of the generals and ministers, from morning to night, at this time it was about five or six o'clock in the evening, still the water and rice did not enter, Zhao Huan was hungry, and he didn't say much at the moment, with Zhi Yanshi and more than a dozen guards changed into civilian clothes, and then went out of the courtyard of the Yamen from the back door, a few guards who took the lead probed their brains, and saw that there were no obstructive characters, well, more than ten people quickly got out of the backyard alley and integrated into the crowd on the street.
This Taiyuan City is indeed as Zhao Huan said at this time, looking at the past, among the people who come and go, eight out of ten are soldiers in military uniforms, and there are even many officers above the rank of deputy general, with brilliant shoulder straps, with guards and people, wandering around the city. And those who don't wear military uniforms, I'm afraid that there are more senior officers who have changed into ordinary people's clothes and come out for leisure.
Although they all know that the emperor's car is coming, the war is imminent, and at this time, all the preparations have been done, and everyone is full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm, but the official battle order has not yet been issued, and the strength of the body has nowhere to go, and there is nothing to do, so they have to come to this Taiyuan city to idle.
At this time, the city is not as good as that year, although it has repeatedly suffered from the disaster of war and war, this reconstruction effort is good, millions of people for building the inside of the city, the imperial court knows that Taiyuan is important, in addition to moving back to the original residents, and extraordinarily many rich officials and military generals live here, less than two years of effort, the city is prosperous and lively, bustling and densely populated, not only the old view of the great restoration is even stronger than the scene of the year, the soldiers are usually stationed in the border pass and danger, rarely can go to the city, at this time in the city to eat, drink and play, It was the relaxation before the war, as long as military discipline was not violated, but no one took care of it.
Zhao Huan traveled all the way, only to see the pedestrians on the way, and the wine inn was even more dense like a forest, all kinds of novelty goods, rare fruits, jewelry and antiques, goods from the Western Regions and overseas countries, all over the place, dotted all over the place.
The development of commerce in the Song Dynasty is still clearly reflected in a military town like Taiyuan. Think about Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other commercial coastal cities, that kind of prosperity and development, how can future generations imagine what if? In Quanzhou alone, the number of recorded merchant ships last year exceeded 200,000, and after a thousand years, can this city regain its glory in the past?
Zhao Huan did not deliberately change the intensity of trade, or the development of colonization overseas, in this era, too serious into the super, can only make the economy of overseas countries collapse, killing chickens and eggs, and with the current navigation technology and medical conditions, colonizing overseas losses far outweigh gains, too unprofitable.
As long as the Song Dynasty can defeat the northern nomadic land threat, with vitality and enterprising spirit, and have a mature commercial tradition, the tradition of never forbidding and resisting overseas trade, a hundred years later, the Song Dynasty will naturally complete the transformation from a landlocked country to a maritime country, such a process, only interrupted by the barbarians in the north, Zhao Huan wants to do the land, just to defend it can have a trajectory of free development, it is enough.
He originally wanted to find a restaurant nearby, when the sun was setting and the excitement was lively, he was in his thirties, in fact, he was a man of two lifetimes, but he rarely had the mind of a child, and he was determined to take a look and walk around at random in this city full of the glory of the Song people, and no longer wanted to think about the imminent war, the government affairs and the harem of intrigue, and it was best to leave it behind for the time being.
Walking into a shop, the counter of Huang Tang wood is antique, the boss drinks tea and waits by himself, and when the customer asks, he replies enthusiastically, which is a typical traditional Chinese businessman, neither overly enthusiastic, but also very professional. The open floor allows guests to sit around and watch without worrying about people following you all the time, encouraging you to buy, or worrying about you stealing.
He picked up a Japanese knife casually, the scabbard was made of shark fish, extremely exquisite, and when he drew the blade, he only heard a slight sound, and then the cold light shone, obviously a very beautifully crafted good knife.
The blade that was straight and then curved, and the blade that shone with cold light, all showed a sense of violence to the extreme beauty, Zhao Huan waved lightly, and the blade flashed with cold light, as if it was a monster that devoured human life at any time.
Thinking of the strange people composed of dwarfs, this fashion is not enough to be a disaster for China, and at this time China still maintains the leading position since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and this close neighbor is still respectful to China.
Zhao Huan first frowned, and then smiled at himself, that's it, the affairs of the future generations will naturally be solved by the future generations, with the current historical development trajectory, I am afraid that the neighbor has always been to respect the Song Dynasty, follow step by step, and be more obedient than any country or nation, this is their national nature, but it also saves a lot of thought.
At that time, the sword was also considered an extremely valuable item, and Japan could make great profits in the Song Dynasty by using it alone. Zhao Huan was originally extremely unsatisfied, at this time to see the creation process of this knife, think about his painstaking efforts, the horizontal knife created is extremely sharp, and the shape is also good-looking, but in the process is still inferior to this sword, even the Japanese people still learned this forging skill from China, but unfortunately China has been repeatedly harassed by war, many skills have been lost, and the other party is boring development, skills have been above the year.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and was about to open his mouth to ask the price, but he heard a sudden noise on the street outside, at first it was only a few people arguing, but later, people came and went on the road, and many soldiers dressed up ran to a certain place one after another, and scolded and cursed, as if there was a fight.
Zhao Huan's curiosity was great, knowing that no matter who was in charge of this matter, it would not be his turn, it was funny, the emperor was naturally the biggest in the world, but unfortunately many things were not in the emperor's turn. It's just that he was curious, but he didn't care about it, and when he put the knife in his hand, he bowed to Zhi Yanshi and the others, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and see the excitement." ”
Zhi Yanshi had a headache for a while, but he didn't dare to resist his intentions, so he immediately agreed, and everyone protected Zhao Huan, went out of the store, followed the crowd, and rushed towards the place where the accident occurred.
When I arrived at the place, it was a restaurant, the crowd was surging, Zhao Huan couldn't get close for a while, so he had to listen to the noisy voice, and there were a few words of Mongolian language.
