In Xingzhou, the east and west armies of the Jin State will meet.

As soon as they met, Wanyan Zongwang asked: "I've been writing letters to urge, why don't you go south quickly?" ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Going south may not be able to break through Kaifeng, but staying in Hebei can loot more states and counties." The Song officials here have been frightened, and they will either abandon the city and flee, or open the city and surrender, and a few hundred people can capture a city. I sent my troops to capture the city, and I didn't have to do it myself, but ordered the officials to collect more than 300,000 stone of grain in each city. ”

"More than 300,000 stone grains? That's excellent! "Wanyan Zong is overjoyed, what he lacks most now is grain and grass.

Wanyan Zonghan asked: "I heard that the Zhu thief captured Kaifeng?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded: "The army of the Zhu thief is quite strong, and a thousand escort troops have been eaten by him. ”

Wanyan Zonghan suddenly had a serious expression: "Being able to completely annihilate a thousand escort troops is indeed not to be underestimated, and you can't treat the Zhu thief as the emperor of the Liao State and the Song State." ”

"I plan to set up another emperor in Hebei, so that the emperor surnamed Zhao will rule the Han people," Wanyan Zongwang said, "but the surname Zhao ran too fast, and sent five thousand light horsemen to the Daimyo's mansion, but not a single Zhao and Song clan was caught." ”

The Daimyo's Mansion is next to the Yellow River, which has been flooding for several years, and the Yongji Canal is often blocked, making it difficult to walk on horseback or boat.

As soon as the Jin cavalry crossed the Yellow River, the clan of the Daimyo Mansion heard the news and fled all the way to Liaocheng.

Wanyan Zonghan said with a smile: "I have a clan in my hand, which was captured in Baozhou, and there are twenty or thirty people. ”

The Baozhou clan is a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin's cousins. They have long been marginalized, and they can't even get an official title. It was only after Song Huizong ascended the throne that the Baozhou Zhao family regained his vacant position.

"It is a big deal to set up a new king, and I have to go back and ask the emperor to make an idea." Wanyan Zongwang was worried that the puppet emperor would be controlled by Wanyan Zonghan.

Sure enough, Wanyan Zonghan said: "It's just a fake emperor of the Han people, I can call the shots, and I don't need to alarm Your Majesty." ”

Wanyan Zongwang didn't speak again.

Wanyan Zonghan continued: "I plan to set up a new monarch in Dingzhou, and the main force of the Western Route Army will also stay in Dingzhou, in case the Zhu thief comes to kill him at any time. ”

"Aren't the soldiers homesick?" Wan Yan Zong asked.

"The Han land is rich, they won't be homesick." Wanyan Zonghan said.

These two seem to be chatting, but in fact, they have been exchanging words, and Wanyan Zonghan is completely not dumping Wu Qi to buy. For such a big thing as supporting the puppet emperor, he didn't even discuss it with the emperor of the Jin State, and Wanyan Zonghan still wanted to keep the elite in Dingzhou.

However, it was said that the Jin soldiers were in this class, and Wanyan Zongwang hoped that the whole army would return to Jin, but Wanyan Zonghan led more than 10,000 elites to stay in Dingzhou.

Wanyan Xiyin, who founded the Jurchen script, also stayed in Dingzhou to preside over the overall situation, and gave preferential treatment to the former ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

"The Baozhou clan has thin blood, and it is difficult to convince the public if you are called the emperor." Huang Qianshan reminded.

Wanyan Xiyin said: "It's a descendant of the Zhao family, it's better than setting up a foreign surname." ”

Huang Qianshan also suggested: "If you want to support the new monarch, it is best to set up the capital Zhending, which is better than Dingzhou, and can be connected to Hedong Road by Jingcheng." ”

"That makes sense." Wanyan Xiyin humbly accepted.

Wanyan Xiyin is a great admirer of the Han cultural system, and when he captured Tokyo in another time and space, other generals of the Jin Kingdom went to grab money and goods, but this person was the only one who searched for books and classics.

The comprehensive sinicization of Jinguo is also promoted by Wanyan Xiyin.

In the same month, a Baozhou clan named Zhao Guangde was made a puppet emperor by the Jin people in Zhending.

The twelve-year-old Doll Emperor!

Huang Qianshan, on the other hand, was named prime minister and was responsible for encircling officials and scholars in the north.

There are really officials and scholars, who are afraid of the power of the Jin people and greedy for glory and wealth, and are willing to be officials in the small court of Zhending.

Especially those cities that Yan Zonghan attacked, many civil and military generals had already surrendered once, and now they are just recognizing the puppet emperor.

Nowadays, Zhendingfu, Dingzhou, Baozhou, Guangxin Army, Ansu Army, Shun'an Army, Yongning Army, Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Qingzhou, Hejian Province, these places are afraid of the Jin people and accept the rule of the puppet emperor.

In addition to Zong Ze, Yue Fei and others in Hebei, there are other righteous people who are resisting.

Ouyang Xun, who was sent to Shenzhou (Shenxian) to order the generals to surrender, immediately ordered to defend the city after entering the city, and now he has led Shenzhou Taishou to insist on resisting Jin.

Li Miao, the prefect of Zhending, was betrayed by a traitor, and the city gate was opened by the inside and outside. After the loss of Zhending, Li Miao broke through with the remnants of the army, and learned that Zhaozhou Taishou abandoned the city and fled, so he led his troops into the city to defend Zhaozhou.

On the Shanxi side, there are not only Zhang Xiaochun and Yang Weizhong who are defending Taiyuan, but also Ji Ting, Zhao Bangjie, and Ma Kuo who are defending the Pingding Army (Pingding County, Yangquan City).

If it weren't for Zhu Ming's change of history, which led to the Jin people going south in advance, there are also people in Zhongshan (Hejian Mansion) today who are stubbornly defending - Chen Yu, who founded the economic system to increase financial revenue, refused to implement the surrender order of the imperial court, and held Zhongshan for more than half a year, and finally the whole family of 17 was martyred.

Zhaozhou.

Yue Fei galloped with his troops and smoothly entered the city to see Taishou Li Miao: "Zong Zhizhou has been appointed by Marshal Zhu as the governor of Hebei, and he is fully responsible for the affairs of Hebei's two roads against Jin. If Li Taishou wishes to submit to Marshal Zhu, he can pacify the Hebei West Road. ”

Li Miao muttered: "The Emperor Taishang is still here, and Zong Ze is a thief?" ”

Yue Fei said: "The Emperor Taishang is far away in Liangzhejiang, I am afraid it will be difficult to preside over the overall situation of the anti-Jin, and I ask Li Taishou to think twice about this matter." ”

Li Miao asked: "If I return to Marshal Zhu, can I have money and food supplies, and can I have reinforcements to go north?" ”

Yue Fei said: "The Jin people have retreated, and there is no war in Zhaozhou for the time being. If the Jin people come again, Marshal Zhu will send troops to help, and we only need to hold on for two or three months. As for the money and food, Marshal Zhu promised to send the money, but the food needed to be raised by Li Taishou himself. ”

Li Miao didn't think about it for too long, because he had no other choice: "I am willing to submit to Marshal Zhu." ”

"I'm camping outside the city, ready to be dispatched by the Taishou." Yue Fei arched his hand and said.

Yue Fei now had 3,000 troops in his hands, and Zong Ze assigned some troops to him as commanders. As for his generals, there are only three fellow villagers in Xiangzhou, Wang Gui, Xu Qing, and Yao Zheng.

Niu Gao was under Zhu Ming at this time, and he was the captain of the civilian squad with the army, not even a regular army......

Liang Xing was also a bandit in Taihang Mountain, and he also ambushed Jin Bing.

After setting up the camp outside the city, Wang Gui asked, "When will Marshal Zhu send the soldiers?" ”

"After the beginning of spring, it should be able to be delivered." Yue Fei guessed.

Xu Qing said: "When the snow melts in spring and the armor is in hand, I will take the initiative to kill Zhending and give the golden doll emperor a little color." ”

Yue Fei pondered: "The Jin people have heavy troops to stay in Dingzhou and Zhending, we have few soldiers, and we can't attack the city." However, at the time of the summer harvest, they attacked the soldiers and officials sent by the enemy to the countryside to collect grain, so that they could not easily collect grain. ”

"Marshal Zhu cherishes his brother Wu Yong, as long as he fights hard, we will definitely be able to seal his wife and son in the future." Yao Zheng said with a smile.

Everyone loves to hear this, firstly, to avenge the country's hatred, and secondly, to earn a future for themselves.

Yue Fei is still very confused, how did he fall into the eyes of Marshal Zhu as a small person? His mother, wife and children, who are still in Hanzhong, were taken away by Marshal Zhu early on.

Yue Fei and Wang Yan, they both have positions, and they belong to the old Song system.

Yue Fei served as the commander of the Hebei West Road and led his troops to garrison Zhaozhou.

Wang Yan served as the commander of the Hebei East Road and led his troops to be stationed in Shenzhou.

Now it is probably Shijiazhuang, Raoyang, and Hejian area, which belongs to the front line of the war between the two sides.

However, Wang Yan was sending a large number of soldiers back to his hometown to send letters to the state and county officials under the puppet emperor: as long as these officials were willing to be reformed, they would not be blamed for the mistakes they had committed in the past, and they would be rewarded according to the merits of the reform.

Not everyone is willing to be a dog for the Jin people, and some officials want to turn their backs on the Jin people.

Especially those who are the second shogun, they must be the state and county officials behind their backs, and they are secretly eye-to-eye with Wang Yan's meticulous affairs.

Due to the withdrawal of the Jin people, the situation in Hebei has temporarily stabilized, but Shandong has been fighting.

Gao Yu also wanted to continue to lead the troops, but was directly ensnared by Zhang Bo and forcibly disarmed the armor of the thousands of forbidden troops. Then, the armor was handed over to the soldiers recruited by Gao Yu in Xuzhou, and they were also organized and trained into an army.

Gao Yu's contribution was not only to "gift" the armor, but also to help Zhang Bo recruit a fierce general.

This person's name is Zhao Li, who defended Xuzhou in history, was still fighting bloody with six arrows in his body, was stunned by Jin soldiers in a street battle, and snatched the body of the main general after waking up for burial.

He also recruited the righteous army to resist Jin, and was ordered to rescue Chuzhou, seven battles and seven victories all the way, and the arrows in both cheeks were still fighting, and the arrow cluster was pulled out after entering the city. He went out of the city many times to defeat the Golden Vultures, and even defeated hundreds of Iron Futu head-on.

Eventually, the city ran out of food, and had to eat leaves and bark to survive.

Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and many other troops sat back and watched Chuzhou be besieged but did not rescue, and Zhao Li was killed by thunderbolt artillery while defending the city.

Zhang Bo sent Zhao Li to Yizhou to suppress the thieves, and this gentleman really didn't want to die when he started a battle.

In the first battle, he was hit by two arrows, four guns, and one knife, and he still took the lead, frightened the leader of the thieves, and turned around and fled for his life without caring about anything.

In the second battle, he led his troops to climb first, with six wounds all over his body, and killed the Yizhou city wall in blood.

A group of Xuzhou township soldiers who were temporarily recruited by Gao Yu fought one by one under Zhao Li's infection, and they all died.

Moreover, the military discipline is extremely strict, Zhao Li leads by example, and he eats and sleeps with the soldiers, and he is clearly willing to listen to him.

When Zhu Ming entered and occupied the city of Tokyo, Zhao Li, with more than 2,000 village soldiers, had already taken the entire territory of Yizhou, and removed and reorganized the prisoners, and quickly expanded the army to 5,000 people.

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was really no shortage of heroes, and fierce people emerged one after another.

Li Cheng is also a hero, if he does not rebel against the Song Dynasty.

"Marshal Zhu sent an official letter asking me to submit to him, what should I do about this?" Li Cheng asked his younger brother.

Li Gong said: "Marshal Zhu is a well-known hero, I heard that he invaded Tokyo and destroyed the Song Kingdom, and he will definitely be the emperor in the future." If we submit to him, we may be able to become the founding generals. ”

A small man who was born as an archer, but now occupies the territory of Sanzhou, Li Cheng is a little reluctant to have the power in his hands: "If we are obedient to Marshal Zhu, what should he do if he sends someone to seize the military power?" Surely the civil servants will be sent, and they will listen to those turbans when the time comes. ”

"Let's go back first," Li Gong said, "If the civil officials are polite, we will also be polite." If the civil official messes around, we won't be polite to him. ”

Li Cheng nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

The so-called transmission depends on that.

With Li Cheng's refuge, Shandong is nominally Zhu Ming's territory, but it is difficult to say how many people are willing to be obedient.

Of course, Zhu Ming also knows about this situation, but at the moment, he has to stabilize the situation first, and when he frees up his hands and feet in the future, he may have to fight Shandong again.
