Chapter 247: King of Luoyang
After a long wind and waves, Zhao Qi soon arrived in Luoyang. The thousand-year-old imperial capital, only Heluo.
Thirty miles outside Luoyang City, the Ming Sect Light Messenger, the Four Dharma Kings, the Five Elements Banner Lord and others led the righteous army to welcome Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi is not only the leader of the Ming Sect, but also the leader of the rebel army, who rose in a short period of time and achieved three-point hegemony.
The fox king's beautiful eyes flickered, and he vaguely remembered that Zhao Qi was still a weak-crowned boy at that time, winning the Mingjiao while talking and laughing, and going to the White Camel Mountain, everything was like Huang Ke's dream, even to the extent that she herself could not distinguish.
Looking back, the morale of the rebel army, which stretched for thirty miles, was high, and Bai Luoluo came back to his senses a little, this is indeed not a dream, but a real fact. She thought of Zhao Qi's high-spirited spirit and pointed out the country, and everyone thought it was just a joke.
"Maybe the only thing left for him is the First World War." This thought suddenly flashed in Bai Luoluo's mind, and she deeply remembered what Zhao Qi said at that time, rejuvenating the king's division, dividing the land, restoring the Han Dynasty, and expelling the Tartars!
At that time, she also laughed at Zhao Qi for having no ambitions, just wanting to kill the rich to help the world, even if she killed them all, the poor are still poor, what can be changed? It's nothing more than a thief, with an empty name.
Ironclad facts have proven that this can change a lot of things. The change of dynasties is the process of redistribution of property. With the rise and prosperity of the dynasty, wealth was gradually concentrated in the hands of a few, which created a huge gap between the rich and the poor, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, and this imbalance reached the extreme, which was the precursor to the collapse of the dynasty. So there is the change of dynasties, the dynastic cycle.
At that time, Zhao Qi was in the Earth Age, and some people studied this very thoroughly, and the empire handled this point very well, ensuring a certain class circulation, strictly controlling the gap between the rich and the poor, increasing taxes on the rich, inheritance taxes, and a series of other means to ensure the continuation of the empire's lifespan. Rome was not destroyed in a day.
These truths were difficult for Bai Luoluo to understand before, but now when he thinks about it, he can understand some of them. The development process of things did continue in the direction that Zhao Qi said, which made the fox king admire Zhao Qi.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Singing, drumming, dragon and lion dance!"
The whole Luoyang is boiling, since it was occupied by the Jin people, the status of the Han people has declined, and there is no longer the prosperity of the past. The Jurchens were all in high positions, and they could obtain enough wealth by virtue of their birth, and under repeated purges, the Han people could not raise their heads at all.
It is precisely because of this that the righteous army is like a bamboo, and it has captured all the Jin territories south of the Yellow River. Zhao Qi has long calculated this, even if the Han people in the north have been ruled by the Jin people for a hundred years, they have never forgotten the identity of the Han people. Day and night looking forward to the arrival of the king, the people's resentment boiled, which was precisely taken advantage of by Zhao Qi. Combined with the division of land and the fight against the landlords, the rebels were invincible, and half of the Jin country fell into the hands of the rebels.
After Luoyang was occupied by the Jin people, it became the Zhongjing Henan Mansion of the Jin people. Most of the emperors of the past dynasties had palaces here, which was repaired and became the place where Zhao Qi lived.
"You've put a lot of thought into that." Zhao Qi shook his head, he is not a person who likes masochism, he can enjoy it conditionally, Zhao Qi never minds that the place where he lives is better, but it doesn't mean that he likes to waste.
"The sect leader is too worried, this is the Huaiwang Mansion, before the righteous army came, then the Huaiwang ran away, the time was pressing, and everything was left. Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, let the people below tidy up casually, and then get some decorations, that's it. Glancing at the silence of the others, the fox king said with a smile. Originally, there was King Huai of the Jin Kingdom guarding this place, even if the righteous army wanted to capture Luoyang, it would inevitably take time. As time goes on, there may be some uncontrollable variables. If King Huai had made up his mind to defend Luoyang and burn all the jade, I am afraid that it would not be possible to capture Luoyang City in three or five months.
"Run? Hehe, where can he escape? Although the world is big, how can there be a place for him? That's the kind of stupid person in the world. Zhao Qi's expression eased, and he didn't look down on King Huai's behavior at all. The Jurchens are no longer the people who can dominate the world with iron horses in the past, just from King Huai, the leopard can be seen from the tube.
"People, there will always be a fluke mentality, even if he doesn't escape, even if he holds the city, he will have no good end, but if he escapes, he can still have a chance of survival." The fox king doesn't have any opinion on this kind of thing, and if he wants to really defend the city, he has to kill the rich people in the city to really do it. But in that case, if you completely offend these people and the people behind them, you will end miserably. Standing in different positions, it is natural to have different ideas.
But since ancient times, if you want to trap the city of sorrow, the first thing to do is to kill the influential people in the city, the bottom has never been qualified to choose fate, only they can do it to control the city gate, and even secretly pass the song.
"Maybe, if he escapes, he will escape, and next time he will probably not be able to escape." Zhao Qi naturally understood the meaning of the Fox King's words, and for people like King Huai, Zhao Qi didn't need to take it to heart. Now the only ones who can become Zhao Qi's enemies are the Mongols.
"What does Peng Lianhu think over there?" Zhao Qi changed the topic, across the Yellow River, but it was Peng Lianhu and those people.
Since Zhao Wangfu was ruthlessly cheated by Zhao Qi at that time, Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian were also decisive and ruthless, so they simply didn't do anything, picked up the head of Yan Honglie, preached the righteous act of killing this person, restrained the people, and conquered the city, and really lived a good life. The scenery is beautiful, no matter where you go, you are an anti-gold righteous and an anti-gold hero.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and when Yan Xun's side reacted, he immediately sent a large army to encircle and suppress Peng Lianhu and others. Compared with other places, Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian and others are the weakest anti-thieves. Jin Jiang everyone fought bravely to be the first, and soon conquered some county towns occupied by Peng Lianhu. This defeat is a rout. Peng Lianhu is a Jiangyang thief, Sha Tongtian is a water bandit, neither of the two is good at managing the territory, so they can only choose to shrink up. If it weren't for the fact that the people of the Yellow River Gang are good at underwater kung fu and have three cunning rabbit holes, it is estimated that they would have been exterminated by the Jin people long ago.
"The two of them want to see you." The fox king knew everything about this matter, at that time Zhao Qi had not really raised troops, and these two people could be regarded as preventing the disaster for Zhao Qi, and they were completely calculated by Zhao Qi to death. I didn't get the benefits, but I got into trouble.
"See me? It seems that the two of them still don't give up, it's okay, just let them come to Luoyang, I want to see if they still have the guts. "Zhao Qi doesn't have any ill feelings towards these two guys, he has been used by him many times, and he has already been squeezed out of most of his value. Now the rebel army is like a cloud, and the ministers are like rain, gathering heroes from all directions, even if these two people join the rebel army, they must start from below.
"They are also unlucky enough, and they don't know what ecstasy soup they poured into you, they are stupid and want to rebel, this kind of thing is to destroy the nine clans and lose their heads, it's really stupid." The fox king couldn't help but laugh shamefully, she couldn't figure this out. Whether it is Peng Lianhu or Sha Tongtian, they are not heroes who can dominate one side at all, this kind of person still wants to rebel, but his head is simply caught by the door.
"You'll know later, they're more afraid of me than they are of rebellion." Zhao Qi knows this well, and without his threat, these two goods must be how far they run.
"Wu Xian did a good job, and he learned our guerrilla tactics very well, and the Emperor Jin drove the expedition in person, and he was beaten to shame. dragged Jin Bing to death, and Wan Yanxun finally had to retreat. If we deal with this person in the future, we should be more careful. The fox king's eyes showed brilliance, guerrilla tactics were really used in the hands of the martial immortals, and they really realized winning more with less, making full use of the geographical advantage, which is that she looked sideways at the martial immortals.
"It's not a big deal, originally I spread guerrilla tactics, just for others to learn, Wu Xian can learn some, that's his creation." Zhao Qi didn't mind this matter as much as the Fox King, at the beginning, he spread guerrilla tactics on a large scale, just to make the territory of the Jin Kingdom full of beacons, and now he has achieved his strategic goal, which is the biggest gain.
"Guerrilla tactics, in fact, are not so magical. The tactics in the world are all flawed, and if the guerrilla tactics are used well, they can play a role in turning the tide of the war, but if they are not used well, they can be regarded as the art of attack and harassment at most. As long as the rebels are strong enough, they will never have to worry about this tactic. If it had been replaced by Yan Honglie's commander, it is estimated that Wu Xian would have been defeated long ago. "Zhao Qi struts with his head held high, he has never been superstitious about any tactics, and there will be no omnipotent tactics in the world.
Martial Immortals were able to force Yan Xun back, and that was determined by many factors. The war is just the right time, the right place, and the right people, Wan Yan Xun is nominally the emperor of the Jin State, but he is not a real person who is good at commanding the army, and then there is the fact that the Mongols went south, which allows Wuxian to occupy the time. The place of the battle is in the base camp that Wuxian has been operating for many years, and this is the geographical advantage. Wu Xian rebelled, coerced the army of people, whether these people support Wu Xian or not, they have to fight with the Jin people, and the rebellion is a death penalty, which cuts off everyone's way out, in a sense, this is human. The time and place are favorable, and all the martial immortals occupy it, so that there is this great victory.
The two asked and answered, and soon Zhao Qi understood the form of the Jin Kingdom north of the Yellow River. The Jin people did reach the point of exhaustion this time, and Huang Rong cut off the Jin people's retreat and occupied Shangjing Mansion. Wu Xian and others occupied the key places of Guanshan and choked the key points of the Jin State. There was also Zhao Qi who cut off half of the southern part of the Jin Kingdom. The Mongols seized this golden opportunity to go south, and this battle was the battle of annihilation.
"Tell me, if you were Yang Kang, what would you do?" Zhao Qi's eyes fell on the wild fox ridge on the map, Yang Kang was no longer the person who was shackled in many ways in the original book. After Yan Honglie died, Yang Kang applied to go north to guard the pass and go on the expedition instead of his deceased father. Soon Yang Kang showed his talent and completely mastered the lifeblood of this army. This became a variable for Zhao Qi, and he couldn't figure out what Yang Kang thought.
The Jin people will not take refuge in the Mongols, but Yang Kang is different.
"If I were Yang Kang, the most I would do was to fight Temujin and find a way to survive." The fox king's expression was slightly sluggish, and he blurted out instinctively. A discerning person can see at once the determination of the Mongols this time, even if Yang Kang has an army of 150,000 in his hands, it is wishful thinking to defend Yehuling.
"Survival? It seems that he has only two paths to go, either to defect to the Mongols or to lead his troops south. Zhao Qi seemed to have grasped some key factors, and he was a little confused about Yang Kang's reality and reality, pacing back and forth, the essence in his mind flashed, and said in a deep voice: "No, Yang Kang only has one way to go south." ”
The fox king looked puzzled, in her opinion, it was much better to take refuge in the Mongols than this. Temujin is eloquent, and Yang Kang has soldiers and generals under him, once he chooses to surrender, he will inevitably be reused. With Temujin's courage, he would never settle this kind of thing, but the more talents he had, the more he rejoiced.
"Why?" The Fox King blurted out.
Zhao Qi stretched out his hand and swiped on the map, and immediately there were several ways to go south, and said categorically: "You don't know Yang Kang, a person from the Yang family, stubborn and proud, as long as there is a way to live, he will not choose to take refuge in the Mongols." If you go south, you will have an army of 150,000 under your command and occupy a place, and you will immediately become a prince. The current chaos in the world is not an opportunity for him. ”
Whether it is Yang Tiexin, Yang Kang, or even Yang Guo, basically their nature is in the same vein. Bigotry, which can almost sum up their temperament. Yang Tiexin traveled all over the rivers and lakes, just to find Bao Xi's weakness, Yang Kang ignored secular etiquette, and was obsessed with the father-son relationship with Yan Honglie, and Yang Guo even married his own master.
"Which side will Yang Kang choose in these places?" Zhao Qi showed a thoughtful look, Yang Kang's position was too critical, and Zhao Qi had to figure it out. This was a major event concerning his struggle against the Mongols.
"Hanzhong." Although the fox king didn't understand the reason why Zhao Qi made this judgment, he still said what she thought in her heart.
"Yes, it is indeed Hanzhong, connecting Yongliang and Erzhou in the north and Shu in the south, if you can seize the opportunity to annex these, you will immediately be able to reproduce the trend of the strong Qin in the past, and at the worst, you can also follow the example of Uncle Liu Huang in the past." Zhao Qi nodded, he thought so too. Although the world is big, there are not many places for Yang Kang to live. The land of the Central Plains has long fallen into Zhao Qi's hands, as long as Yang Kang's brain is normal, he will not choose here. The old land of Jin is always facing the threat of the Mongols, and only by taking a detour and going south to Hanzhong can it be regarded as truly having a new world.
"If he really succeeds, if nothing else, it shouldn't be difficult for him to occupy Shu land." Fox King Dai's eyebrows furrowed, this is not a small trouble.
"It's okay, I have no intention of dominating the world." Zhao Qi waved his hand, he didn't care so much about these things, he never thought of completely exterminating all forces. Not to mention anything else, the Song Kingdom is not something he can easily destroy. In that case, he didn't care about Yang Kang's affairs.
"If I destroy the Jin Kingdom, some people may praise me, but if I fight with the Song Kingdom, I may not be able to be so wishy-washy. Let's not talk about that, let's hurry up and get something to eat. Zhao Qi woke up the Fox King with one sentence, and the affairs of the Song Kingdom were the most complicated. (To be continued.) )
