…

At the same time that Li Cun entered Bianliang City, Tokyo, Zong Ze, who parted ways with Zhao Gou, had already gained a foothold here in Kaide Mansion.

Kaide Province is also called Lanzhou.

I think that at the beginning, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State and the Liao Shengzong personally led the army south to go deep into the Song Dynasty.

On the side of the Zhao and Song dynasties, some ministers advocated avoiding the enemy and fleeing south, and the emperor Zhao Heng of the Song Dynasty at that time also wanted to flee south.

Later, the Song army held on to the town behind the Liao army, and shot the Liao general Xiao Tzu Rin with an eight-ox crossbow under the city of Lanzhou.

As a result, the two sides signed the Lanyuan Alliance, which laid the foundation for a hundred years of peace on the border between Song and Liao.

In order to come to Kaide Mansion, Zong Ze walked all the way and fought all the way, and fought thirteen bloody battles with the small group of rangers of the cadre army.

Since the Kaide direction is not the focus of the cadre army's defense at the moment - there are only a few rangers here in the capital or even in the unit.

This makes Zong Ze win every battle.

Of course, Zong Ze didn't bring many people and horses, not counting the men and horses that Zhao Gou reinforced him later, when he first came, he only had 3,000 men and horses in his hands.

However, in any case, Zong Ze can be regarded as using force to open up a base here in Kaide Mansion, and with this thirteen victories, he has made a name for himself, making many defeated soldiers, landlord armies, bandits, and bandits come to Zong Ze.

At this time, under Li Cun's order earlier, Zhang Cheng, a Zhongshu sent out by Zhao Huan, under the protection of a team of cadres and soldiers, came to the city of Kaide Mansion with Zhao Huan's edict to visit Zhao Gou's location.

In fact, Zhang Cheng and his gang set off before Zhao Huan was abolished.

However, due to the fact that along the way, there were rebellious soldiers and bandits everywhere, and the Yellow River was completely civilized, and almost all the pontoon bridges on the Yellow River were burned by Zheyan, making it difficult to cross the river.

Previously, at the request of Zhao Gou, and in order to better recruit troops, Zong Ze has always preached that Zhao Gou is in his army, and he is the Generalissimo Mansion here.

This is also the reason why Zhang Cheng and the others finally went to Kaide Mansion to find Zhao Gou.

Zhang Cheng explained the reason why he was here under the city, and asked the soldiers defending the city to immediately go and ask Zhao Gou to come out to meet the holy decree.

After Zong Ze heard about this, he came to the city tower and said to Zhang Ze: "I am the deputy marshal Zong Ze, why did Zhang Sheren come?" ”

Zhang Cheng said: "Dare to ask Deputy Marshal Zong, can King Kang be there?" His Majesty has a holy decree to urgently summon King Kang back to Beijing. ”

Zong Ze asked: "Why does Your Majesty urgently summon the Generalissimo back to Beijing?" ”

Zhang Cheng replied: "Now that the Qian's army has climbed the city wall of the capital, Your Majesty has ceded the states of the Two Rivers to Daqian, and the two countries have made peace. ”

Zong Ze said: "The alliance under the city, can An make a number? And peace is peace, why do you want the generalissimo to return to Beijing, this is a clear thief trick, how can I let it succeed? When I come to Japan, I will personally raise the army and see how the thieves make peace!" ”

As soon as he heard Zong Ze say this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly persuaded: "Deputy Marshal Zong must not be reckless, otherwise he will miss His Majesty's plan to retreat from the enemy. ”

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he asked the soldiers of the cadres around him to shoot Zhao Huan's holy decree to the city gate tower.

The junior colonel of the Qianjun shot Zhao Huan's holy decree to the city gate tower with one arrow.

Seeing this, some Song soldiers picked up Zhao Huan's holy decree and handed it over to Zong Ze.

Zong Ze looked at it, and then said to the left and right: "This is a thief who forged it, and he wants to harm the generalissimo, so he can't keep it, take me to fire." ”

When Zong Ze's soldiers heard this, they immediately brought the fire fold.

Zong Ze burned Zhao Huan's holy decree as soon as he caught fire.

Zhang Cheng saw Zong Ze's holy decree daring to burn Zhao Huan under the city, and hurriedly said: "Zong Ze, do you dare to burn the holy decree?!" Do you know that you have broken the king's law! ”

Zong Ze, who was not even afraid of death, where would he be frightened by Zhang Cheng, he laughed and said: "Zhang Ze, you pretended to pass on the holy decree, and you dare to say that I violated the royal law?" To tell you the truth, Generalissimo Kang is now in Kaide Mansion, but if the thieves want to rely on intrigue and trickery to trick Generalissimo Kang into returning to Beijing, it is absolutely impossible! If the thieves want the generalissimo of King Kang, they will raise troops to fight, and if they are sincere and peaceful, they will withdraw their troops from the capital, otherwise I will lead the army into the king of Jingqin and meet your majesty. ”

Zhang Cheng continued to persuade Zong Ze: "Deputy Marshal Zong, you must not rush into the army, it will ruin the Holy Lord's plan and ......."

Zong Ze said impatiently: "Noise, if you don't leave, I will send troops to attack it!" ”

After that, Zong Ze ordered the junior colonel next to him to stretch his bow and arrows, ready to shoot.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to evacuate with the officers and men of the cadres.

At this time, Zhao Gou had already arrived at Dongping Mansion.

During this period of time in Dongping Mansion, Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion was actually not idle, and after many reconnaissances, they have now basically figured out the situation of the cadres and troops.

As far as the present stage is concerned, the main force of the cadre army is actually still entrenched in Lianzhu Village under the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, and is stationed east to Dongming County, west to Yincheng County, and north to Weinan County.

During this period, the reason why the cadres did not come to trouble Zhao Gou's generalissimo mansion was mainly because the cadres were attacking the main forces of the Song army, such as Weng Yanguo's department, Wang Shizhong's department, Xu Fen's department, and Guo Fengshi's department, in the north and south.

If Li Cun's strategic goal can be achieved, the Central Plains region will be able to obtain a steady stream of food, reinforcements, and other support from the southern region, which will inevitably make the cadres invincible.

In other words, at this time, the direction of Li Cun's troops was the south, not the north, and more importantly, Li Cun wanted to digest the Gyeonggi region first, more precisely, the heart of the Zhao and Song dynasties - Tokyo Bianliang City.

Otherwise, whether it is Zhao Gou or Zong Ze, he will definitely not have the good life he has now.

The characteristic of Lianzhu Village is that each camp is closely connected like a string of beads, taking care of each other, forming a whole, and will not be easily broken by each other.

Moreover, the camps of the cadres and troops are firmly fenced and there are no gaps to take advantage of.

As a result, the Gyeonggi region is now an impeccable and extremely offensive military fortress that cannot compete with it unless Zhao Gou can gather all the armies of the Zhao and Song dynasties, as Wang Boyan had expected.

At least that's what Zhao Gou thinks.

Therefore, on the day that Zhao Huan was abolished, Zhao Gou gave an order to the shogunate of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, ordering them to carry out some rectification of the men and horses deployed in Caozhou and Puzhou, and ordered all the departments to look at each other and advance to judge the situation.

After further reorganization and statistics:

The five armies of the Generalissimo of the Generalissimo were stationed in Dongping Mansion: 5,000 people in the vanguard Xin Yan Zongtong, 2,500 people in the former army capital, 2,500 people in the left army Zhang Qiongtong, 2,500 people in the middle army Zhang Juntong and 2,500 people in Zhao Juntong, 2,500 people in the right army Miao Fu Tong, and 2,500 people in the rear army Fan Shitong. A total of 19,500 people, including the Ma army, claimed to have a total of 40,000 horses, with Yang Weizhong as the capital.

The men and horses stationed in Kaide Mansion: Chen Quan unified 2,000 people in Cizhou, 1,000 people in Zhaozhou, 2,000 people in Shang Gongxu, 2,000 people in Dangjing, Wang Xiaozhong unified 1,000 people, Quan Bangyan unified 1,000 people, and Kong Yanwei unified 10,000 people. A total of 19,000 people, including the Ma army, known as 38,000 men, were commanded by Chen Qu and commanded by Zong Ze.

The men and horses stationed in Puzhou: Lu Qiu Shengtong 3,000 people, Yao Peng Tongtong 2,000 people, Sun Zhentong 2,000 people, a total of 7,000 people, including the Ma army, known as 14,000 men and horses, under the unified command of Zong Ze.

Garrisoned in Xingrenfu: Huang Qianshan unified 3,000 people, Zhang Huantong 2,500 people, Gao Gonghan unified 2,500 people, and Wang Shan unified 1,000 people. A total of 19,000 people, including the Ma army, known as 42,000 men and horses, with Zhang Huan as the commander, under the unified command of Huang Qianshan.

Soldiers and horses stationed in Guangji: Ding Shun unified 3,000 people, Meng Shining unified 2,000 people, Wen Zongjian unified 1,000 people, Li Dajun unified 1,000 people, and Zhang Rong unified 1,000 people. A total of 8,000 people, including the Ma army, known as 15,000 men and horses, with Ding Shun as the commander, under the unified command of Huang Qianshan.

Garrisoned in Shanzhou: Wang Chetong 2,000 people, Dong Yi 2,000 people, Zhao Moutong 2,000 people. A total of 6,000 people, including the Ma army, are known as 12,000 people to the outside world, and they are under the unified command of Huang Qianshan.

Garrisoned in Berlin Town: Liu Haotong 2,000 people, Bai Anmin unified 1,000 people. A total of 3,000 people, including the Ma army, known as 6,000 people to the outside world, under the unified command of Huang Qianshan.

In total, up to now, the total strength of the Generalissimo's Office has a total of 81,500 troops, including the Ma Army, which is claimed to be 167,000 men.

In Zhao Gou's opinion, although there are a lot of more than 80,000 horses, because some of them are bandits from Zhao'an, some are routs and thieves who have been gathered, and there are also temporarily formed Qinwang soldiers and militiamen, leading such a ragtag army, it is impossible to fight Li Cun at all.

Therefore, while Zhao Gou continued to send people to the Gyeonggi area to inquire about the movements of the cadres and troops and the situation in Bianliang City, Tokyo, he continued to send news to the Xuanfu envoy Fan Ne, the governor of the Northern Province Zhao Ye, the governor of the Western Province Wang Xiang, the economic envoy Weng Yanguo, and the Shaanxi Wulu Economic System Qian Gai, and other civil and military generals of the Zhao and Song dynasties who had soldiers and horses in their hands, and asked them to report to the Generalissimo of the Soldiers and Horses as soon as possible......

……

After entering Bianliang City, Tokyo, Li Cun got busy.

Dealing with the old political forces of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Deal with the noble gentry of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Settle the officials and troops of the Zhao and Song dynasties who served the Daqian Dynasty.

Arrange for the officials of the Daqian Dynasty to be handed over to the officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties on all departments.

Received Li Cun's very favored fire and gunpowder, and placed the fire, gunpowder craftsmen and craftsmen.

Craftsmen in Bianliang City, Tokyo, are screened and given priority care and placement.

Due to the siege of Bianliang City in Tokyo for more than a month, the residents of the city have a serious shortage of living materials, which needs to be solved immediately, or even immediately for disaster relief.

Settle the magnates of the Great Qian Dynasty to live in the inner city of Bianliang Castle in Tokyo.

Pay attention to the full resumption of normal business transactions in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

A comprehensive crackdown on outlaws.

Continue the search for royals and clan members of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Reassure the population.

The land seized by the gentry and nobles of the Zhao and Song dynasties was confiscated.

Redistribute land on a cash-for-work basis.

Plan for spring ploughing.

Focus on the war to regain Jingdong Road and Jingdong West Road.

Pay attention to the development of Zhao Gou and Zong Ze's Generalissimo Mansion.

In short, after Li Cun became the master of Bianliang City, Tokyo, it seemed that all urgent matters were smashed at once.

The good thing is that -

Li Cun is no longer the leader of the rebel army who did not even have a literati in his hands like when he first conquered the world.

- Before that, although the Daqian Dynasty was not as exaggerated as the 40,000 officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, there were always 6,000 or 7,000 officials.

Moreover, long before the siege of Tokyo Bianliang City, Li Cun ordered Lu Jiang and Zhang Shi and other chief executives to move the capital to Tokyo Bianliang City.

- Actually, it is not safe to do this, after all, Nanjing Jinling City, which has complete defense facilities, has the Yangtze River natural danger as a barrier, and is still a large grain-producing area, is obviously more suitable as the capital than the current chaotic Bianliang City in Tokyo. But Li Cun felt that he was born in sorrow and died in peace. Moreover, the chaotic Central Plains region is now in dire need of a sense of belonging. In addition, Nanjing is somewhat south after all, which is not conducive to Li Cun's control of the remote Yanyun region that has just been recovered, and it is not conducive to Li Cun's competition with the northern forces such as the Jin State, the Western Xia, and the Grassland Tribes. Therefore, Li Cun vetoed those proposals that persuaded Li Cun to keep the capital in Yingtianfu, and resolutely moved the capital to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

It was precisely because the Daqian Dynasty moved its capital that Lü Jiang and Zhang Shi led a large number of officials of the Daqian Dynasty to the north.

In addition, Li Cun still has a large number of officials from the former Liao State in his hands.

In addition, Li Cun received a larger number of officials from the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Now, Li Cun's subordinates can definitely be said to be full of talents.

As long as Li Cun can make good use of these talents, not to mention this problem, even if there are a hundred times more problems, they can be solved.

But then again, no matter how many talents Li Cun has, many things must be handled by Li Cun himself.

For example, to meet with the ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties and pull them to their side, instead of letting them help Zhao Gou restore the country.

The first people Li Cun met were Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye and Huang Jingchen, who were not dead.

After meeting, Li Cun said bluntly: "I know that the three of you are loyal ministers of Zhao Song, but the matter has come to this point, you three can continue to choose to be loyal to Zhao Song, or have a better choice." ”

Speaking of this, Li Cun looked at Tang Ke first: "If you choose to be loyal to Zhao Song, others will only put you alongside He Li, Sun Fu and others, not to say that you are a loyal minister of Zhao Song, but to atone for your sins." I know that you have the talent to govern the country and secure the country, and if you choose to work for me, I will use you again. When you make achievements, the world will know that if you are not incompetent, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan will not use talents. ”

When Tang Ke heard this, Gu Jing Wubo's face couldn't help but change a little.

Li Cun looked at Uncle Zhang again: "You are both civil and military, you have made meritorious contributions to the border, governed the place, and exterminated Song Jiang, you are really a great talent." What's even more rare is that when the catastrophe of the Zhao and Song dynasties was approaching, Fan Ne, Zhao Ye, and Wang Xiang all chose to support the army to protect themselves, but you chose to personally lead the army to fight bravely to serve the king. After entering the city, you repeatedly offered good advice to Zhao Huan, but Zhao Huan did not adopt it. Therefore, if you are not incompetent, it is Zhao Huan who is not a good master. If you choose to serve me, I will use it again for you, so that you can make the most of your talents, and your name will go down in history. ”

After thinking about it, Li Cun said to Zhang Shuye with a heartfelt heart: "I'm not afraid to tell you, destroy Zhao Song, as far as I am concerned, but Er'er, I have never taken this to heart, my wish is to destroy the party in the west, the Northern Expedition to the Jurchens, sweep the Mobei, and fight for a pure land for my Han people." Therefore, if you serve me, you will be useful. ”

】

Tang Ke was aggrieved, Zhang Shuye was actually more aggrieved than Tang Ke.

As Li Cun said, at the most critical time in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Uncle Zhang came to King Qin's rescue desperately, and the escort Zhao Huan, who was willing to sacrifice his life and forget his death, fled, but Zhang Shuye's kindness was all rejected and wasted by Zhao Huan, and Zhang Shuye gave Zhao Huan some good suggestions, but none of them were adopted by Zhao Huan, which made Uncle Zhang's night sky sad and fruitless.

It can even be said that Uncle Zhang's enthusiasm for the night was only disappointed and guilty in the end.

Li Cun looked at Huang Jingchen again: "There are 4,000 eunuchs in Zhao and Song, and those who can repay the country with their deaths are the only ones Huang Jingchen, which is rare, rare." ”

Then Li Cun's tone changed, and he said bluntly: "I value your loyalty, and I want you to manage the eunuch together with my eunuch Liu Xuan, and it is true that you must be willing to serve me in this matter." ”

At the beginning of the founding of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin stipulated that the number of eunuchs should not exceed fifty.

By the time of Zhao Guangyi, there was an increase, and the number of eunuchs was set at 180.

By the time of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, the number of eunuchs had reached 4,000.

Li Cun didn't like eunuchs who were not yin and yang, so he didn't have a few eunuchs on his hands.

But Li Cun always believes that existence is reasonable.

This eunuch has existed in Chinese history for more than 3,500 years, and it must have had a meaning for its existence.

The key is that if Li Cun doesn't use eunuchs, the thousands of eunuchs in the Zhao and Song Dynasty will also be troublesome to deal with.

Therefore, after Li Cun thought about it, he decided to use eunuchs.

Actually-

There have already been many eunuchs who have come to serve Li Cun.

For example, Deng Shu and others who made great contributions in the process of collecting the royal family and clan people of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

But eunuchs are a special group of people, in Li Cun's view, the most important thing is loyalty.

And Deng Shu and these eunuchs, when the Zhao and Song Dynasty were in trouble, they didn't repay the country with death, and they were down.

Li Cun really didn't feel at ease about putting these eunuchs by his side.

Therefore, if Huang Jingchen was willing to work for Li Cun, Li Cun would indeed use Huang Jingchen and Liu Xuan to manage these eunuchs first.

Of course, as Li Cun said to Huang Jingchen, the premise is that Huang Jingchen is willing to work for Li Cun.

If Huang Jingchen, including Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, and other former ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, were unwilling to work for Li Cun, Li Cun, who was not short of talents at all, would definitely not force them.

Therefore, Li Cun only met Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, and Huang Jingchen, and told them his views and arrangements for them, and did not have to let them serve him, giving them full power of self-choice.

It should be noted that it is impossible for Li Cun to devote all his precious time to these former ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty who are not sure whether they will vote for him.

On the contrary, Li Cun devoted more time to meeting Zhang Bangchang, Zhe Yanzhi, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Fan Qiong, Cao Fu, Sun Mo and other former ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties who were willing to serve the Great Qian Dynasty, appeasing them, listening to their statements on current affairs, and giving him advice......

Not to mention anything else, it took Li Cun three days just to meet, pacify and settle these former ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Coupled with other urgent matters, Li Cun ate and lived in the vertical arch hall for seven days in a row, and he couldn't take care of the women in the harem at all.

But everything has a head.

After seven days of busyness, Li Cun finally finished handling all the urgent matters that had to be handled by himself.

Li Cun, who had been holding back for so long, could finally enter the Pansi Cave that he had been longing for for a long time......
