Chapter 195: The Arms Race
"Don't be too tired, I've already arranged for Li Zaifu to expand your armaments division."
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows. Li Xianggong had already arranged for more than 300 craftsmen to enter the Armaments Department yesterday, so Weichen was not tired. ”
Seeing that Rooney's eyes were bloodshot and so stubborn, Zhao Shuo's heart was full of respect.
Immediately, he said to Li Huai: "Li Huai, send Lu Aiqing back to rest, you are not allowed to go to the Armaments Department without my order." ”
"Your Majesty, you can't." Rooney was anxious on the spot: "Now those craftsmen in the Armaments Division still need to be trained by Weichen, and Weichen begs His Majesty to let Weichen go back." ”
"Well, I'll have the people from the Tai Hospital stationed in the Armaments Division."
"Wechen thanked Your Majesty." Rooney got up and left Wendedian.
Li Huai next to him stepped forward to help Zhao Shuo remove his armor.
Li Yuanting also hurriedly stepped forward to help.
After Zhao Shuo removed his armor, he patted Li Yuanting's shoulder.
Li Yuanting also entered the palace for the first time, and immediately knelt down in flattery.
Zhao Shuo was very impressed by this person.
Li Yuanting was once the martial champion of the Song Dynasty.
once served as the head of the forbidden army, and his martial arts are on the same level as Lin Chong in the Water Margin.
The most important thing is that this person is not an ordinary martial artist.
It's about both wisdom and bravery.
Previously, he served as a military advisor in the Seed Army.
He also offered a plan to attack Liao to the seed master.
For thousands of years, Li Yuanting got the opportunity to meet with him on the trust relationship.
It's a pity that the person in charge of the Great Song Dynasty at that time was Song Huizong.
At that time, Li Yuanting told Song Huizong that there were big loopholes in the border defense line of the Great Song Dynasty.
Omissions need to be filled as soon as possible.
Otherwise, there will be great trouble in the future.
But the painting emperor at that time didn't pay attention to it at all.
also reprimanded Li Yuanting with an unconvinced face.
scolded and scolded: You are teaching me to be the emperor???
And then there was no then.
Until Muhan led his army south.
Li Yuanting, like Zong Ze, also brought a group of rebels to fight against Jin.
This time, Zhao Shuo asked Li Huai to find him, but he wanted to give him a heavy responsibility.
Let him collect the evidence of the thieves who stole the country, and then kill the chickens and monkeys.
"Li Yuanting."
"The lower official is here."
"Do you know what I did by transferring you back from outside the defensive line?"
Li Yuanting said: "The lower officials are dull, and I hope that Your Majesty will give you advice." ”
"That's right! I've been following you all along, and you've been fighting against gold since the gold thieves went south last year. ”
"But I don't know much, and I don't have an influence."
"Your Majesty is angry, it is the incompetence of the lower officials."
Li Yuanting looked terrified.
I thought the emperor was going to punish him.
However, Zhao Shuo hurriedly helped him up and said, "No, you did a good job, but I feel that it is not your advantage to confront the enemy, your advantage is to spy on intelligence. ”
Li Yuanting paused.
Zhao Shuo said: "When I inherit the throne, I will help the world and protect the safety of the people of our court. However, now there is a foreign place looking around, and the Jin people are eyeing me fiercely. ”
"However, I don't know much about the Five Kingdoms City of the Jin people. I want to send you out to spy on them in the kingdom of Jin. ”
"Over the years, you have fought with the Jin people, and you also know their customs and styles."
"So I hope you can blend into the Jin Kingdom and communicate with me, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Yuanting's body trembled violently.
It's too big!
But he was also too excited.
Li Yuanting has always been talented.
originally thought that he would be like Zong Ze, he was young and useless, and he could only wait until he was seventy or eighty years old to be reused by the imperial court.
I never thought that His Majesty would favor him at this time.
remembered that he intended to serve the imperial court back then, but Song Huizong turned a deaf ear to his suggestion.
Now, with such an opportunity, Li Yuanting plopped gratefully and knelt on the ground again.
"Your Majesty, the lower officials are willing to go, and this trip to the Jin Kingdom will definitely live up to Your Majesty's imperial grace."
Zhao Shuo nodded: "You go to set up the Luo Net Division, collect large and small intelligence in the territory of the Jinren, and report any disturbances over there as soon as possible." ”
"In addition, I also want to tell you that you can't travel with your family at this time, but I will protect your family and let them have endless glory and wealth."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, even if the subordinate is a fool, he will serve His Majesty and be loyal to His Majesty."
"Very good, then I will hand over the strategic safety of the Great Song Dynasty to you."
"This time, if the Jin people go south, I will definitely fight against the thieves outside the territory."
"Expelle the Tartars and let the Great Song Dynasty have a great deal of peace and earth."
Li Yuanting's eyes were red and swollen when he listened.
A crazy surge of blood.
"Your Majesty, the lower officials will never live up to the trust of the court, let alone the trust of Your Majesty!"
"I believe in you, I am optimistic about you. Go back and rest, and in two days you will be able to depart. ”
"The lower officials obey the order." Li Yuanting slowly withdrew from the Wende Palace, and suddenly turned to Zhao Shuo and said.
"Your Majesty, the official is thinking messily and almost forgot an important thing."
"Aiqing, please."
"Your Majesty, the subordinate reported Du Chong, the court lieutenant of the Shenmu garrison."
Oh?
When Zhao Shuo heard this name, his eyes suddenly lit up.
yes, Du Chong almost forgot about that guy himself.
In history, it was that thief who ate inside and out, and went against the old general Zongze.
made the old general angry.
And that Du Chong was the lackey of King Kang, the sister of the Nine Emperors, during the Southern Song Dynasty.
teamed up with Zhang Jun and Qin Hui to persecute Yue Fei together.
This chaotic minister and thief, during this time, Zhao Shuo was busy with state affairs, but he ignored it.
It seems that the current Du Chong is still garrisoning Cangzhou on the bank of the Yellow River.
Fortunately, Li Yuanting brought it up at this time.
"Li Aiqing, what did you report him?"
"Your Majesty, the lower officials reported that he oppressed the people and regarded the people as mustard, and now the people on the north bank of the Yellow River have become cold to the court."
Hearing the cold hearts of the people, Zhao Shuo's brows instantly condensed into a Sichuan character.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Your Majesty, that's ......"
With Li Yuanting's statement, Zhao Shuo angrily hammered at Yu'an.
According to what Li Yuanting said, that Du Chong has violated national law, military law, morality and etiquette, and even violated national righteousness.
Damn it!
It's not too much to kill him 10,000 times!
Li Yuanting mentioned the time when the Jin people fought against the Song army in Hebei before the first siege of Bianliang City.
With the contribution of the Taiyuan military town by the Jin people, the family army was martyred.
As a result, the land of Yanzhou (Yanzhou in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun) originally occupied by the Song Dynasty completely became a human purgatory trampled under the iron hooves of the Jin people.
Although the local people knew that the imperial court had lost the war, they were not willing to live under the management of the Jin people.
So the people fled their homes with their families and headed south, begging for survival along the banks of the Yellow River, trying to find a new shelter.
A month and a half later, more than 20,000 refugees had entered the boundaries of Du Chong's administration.
Originally, the common people thought it was safe.
Who knew it was the beginning of a nightmare.
