Chapter 247: I Want the Northern Expedition

Under the devastating attack of the powerful Song Empire by the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, the Jingshi was broken and the emperor was captured, and the impact of this incident on the entire Song Empire was far-reaching! Some people may remember it for a lifetime, and the shame of being a Han person in the Central Plains will always be remembered by many people, and they will never forget it until they die.

King Kang Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Nanjing Yingtianfu of the Great Song Dynasty and became Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, which was the first year of Jianyan! The entire imperial court reorganized the army for war, and Deputy Marshal Zong Ze suggested to Zhao Gou: "Now that the soldiers and horses of the two roads in Hebei, plus the men and horses of King Qin in various places, there are no less than two million, and they should correspondingly march west to recover the Beijing division!" ”

It happened that the Shaanxi Road to the west of Tongguan made Xi Yi recruit 50,000 troops plus the elite of the original Western Army through Tongguan to the east, Zhao Gou asked Zong Ze to lead 200,000 righteous troops to cooperate with the Western Army to recover the lost territory, the two armies met in Xijing Henan Mansion, when the Jin soldiers had withdrawn north of the Yellow River, the Jin soldiers in Bianliang, Tokyo had withdrawn, and Zhao Gou was ready to recover Tokyo.

Before Jin Bing withdrew, he asked Zhang Bangchang if he would leave 10,000 horses to protect? Zhang Bangchang instructed him according to Lu Haowen, the province of the Quan Sect: "I'm afraid that the soldiers in the north are not accustomed to the water and soil in the south, and they will not be stationed at ease." Wanyan Zonghan tested him again: "How about leaving only one Baylor?" Zhang Bangchang also excused Baylor as a greedy person, and he didn't dare to keep it, and he was afraid that he couldn't bear the responsibility.

The Jin people had to retreat north with the whole army, Zhang Bangchang asked Lu Haoqing, and Lu Haowen said to him: "Xianggong said to the people of the world, endure humiliation and bear the burden of Qujie Jin people tiptoe to the throne, but they are helpless, and now that the Jin people are gone, Xianggong should be Xu Tu later." Please think twice, in the past, the ministers persuaded him, and the people's desire was to be afraid of the tyranny of the Jin people. Now that the Jin people are gone, how can Xianggong still be majestic. Now King Kang is a descendant of the royal family, leading the troops outside, and everyone is in the heart, why don't you support King Kang? For today's plan, Empress Yuanyou should be welcomed, and King Kang should be asked to take the throne and be preserved. ”

The overseer Ma Shen also asked to welcome King Kang, but Wang Shiyong objected: "Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, you should think carefully before making a decision, so as not to regret it in the future." Xu Bingzhe also agreed with Wang Shiyong. There are also Wu Bai, Mo Yan and other people seconded the proposal, these people are all supervising the imperial history, one nostril is breathing, Zhang Bangchang does not dare to listen.

He followed Lu Haowen's suggestion, he immediately welcomed Empress Yuanyou as the Empress Dowager of Song, entered the Imperial Yanfu Palace, and sent Jiang Shiyu to bring a letter to see King Kang, stating that he had no choice but to act and painstakingly, and sent the envoy Xie Kejia to Nanjing with the jade seal of the country, and presented the jade seal of the country to King Kang, and sent a letter to ask Empress Yuanyou to listen to the government, and he retired to Zishantang as Dazai. He also sent envoys to Nanjing with chariots, clothes, and other royal items to present to King Kang.

Soon he himself also rushed to Nanjing, to meet Gaozong Zhao Gou, he Portuguese in front of Gaozong, weeping on the ground, asking Gaozong to give the death penalty, Gaozong kind words to comfort, to avoid his capital crime, so far the Great Chu State no longer exists, Zhang Bangchang has also been named Taibao, Feng** Jiedu envoy, Tong'an County King, a month later demoted to Tanzhou Jiedu envoy, Huang Qianshan made people kill.

Tokyo City is now empty, Zong Ze led an army of 200,000 troops, settled in, and respectfully invited Zhao Gou to return to Beijing, but at this time, Xiao Ming stopped Zhao Gou and did not let him return to Beijing. Xiao Ming told him that the Jin soldiers now had 150,000 heavy troops along the north bank of the Yellow River, ready to cross the Yellow River and head south at any time, and that Tokyo was actually not safe!

Wang Boyan also agreed that Tokyo was not safe, so Zhao Gou ordered Zong Ze to stay in Tokyo, know Kaifeng Mansion, recruit nearly 2 million volunteers, and sub-office 16 counties in the suburbs of Beijing, and confront Jin Bing across the Yellow River. Around the entire Nanjing Shangqiu, all the heroes and most of the officials of the Song Dynasty came to vote, Zhao Gou was full of talents, there were Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, Xi Yi and others, and Wu Zongze, Zhang Suo, Liu Hao, Zhang Jun, Wang Shu and others.

Gaozong Zhao Gou is gearing up to prepare for the Northern Expedition to regain the lost territory! The ministers below also responded, and some of the righteous troops on the two roads in Hebei even played the slogan "Hit the Huanglong Mansion and welcome the two saints back to the court!" Wang Boyan was very worried, and said to Zhao Gou in private: "The two saints are still in the court, where should you be?" "Zhao Gou is gone!

And Xiao Ming doesn't care about these things, he has returned to Hangzhou, according to his own An sent Zhao Yanwen's Golden Army to retreat to Xuzhou, the Xinfeng Army retreated to the Weihai base in Shandong, and the rebel army of the Great Song Dynasty took over, according to his own and Ding Jianpeng's plan, although Zhao Gou ascended the throne, but the dirt in the court has not been cleaned, he will still take Zhao Gou through the ordeal, and it is not appropriate to help him again now.

The two once had an argument, that is, what to do with the Han people in the occupied area north of the Yellow River? Xiao Ming said that if the Jin soldiers were allowed to occupy the Central Plains, I don't know how many Han people were slaughtered, but Ding Jianpeng gave Xiao Ming some information, from the southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom in 1125 to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty in 1127, the population base north of the Yellow River not only did not decrease, but increased a lot!

From the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty to the fourth southern invasion of the Jin State in 1140, the population north of the Yellow River has been in a growth stage, because the Jin State has a relatively relaxed ethnic policy within the territory! Due to their own relatively low productivity, large-scale agricultural production has not yet begun, and their habit of plundering the population, there was a period of time when the population of Liaodong increased dramatically!

Liaodong is the birthplace of the Jurchens, large-scale plundering of the population, yes, the land of Liaodong has been developed on a large scale, and the Jin State is not too discriminatory against other ethnic groups, the Liao, the Xiren, the Han, the Bohai people, the Goryeo, and the Jurchens basically have no difference in status and status, after the annexation of the Liao State, the Liao people were too wary at first, but with the surrender of a large number of Liao nobles and high-ranking officials to the Jin State, the Jin State had to use Liao officials on a large scale in terms of land governance, and this phenomenon slowly disappeared.

After the Jin State annexed the land of the Liao State, the Khitan people gradually became the Jin people, in the previous wars of the southward expansion of the Jin State, the Liao people were its main source of troops, and the killing of the Han people in the Central Plains was actually done by many Liao people, from this point of view, the crimes of the Liao people are much greater than the Jin people! In order to escape the war, the Han people in the Central Plains of Henan also migrated to the north.

In fact, why this kind of people spontaneously have a small range of population has been going on, the area north of the Yellow River that Jin State now occupies has been the Yellow River flood area since ancient times, and the Yellow River and the Huai River will flood in a few years, and the Jin State authorities have also used a wide range of personnel and funds in order to control the floods, and in this regard, Jin Guo is not completely doing bad things!

These real historical materials, Xiao Ming watched for a long time! He said to Ding Jianpeng: "Since the Jurchen Jin Kingdom has also indirectly promoted national integration and progress, why do we insist on dealing with them?" ”

"Cultural regression!" Ding Jianpeng said: "There have been several cultural regressions in Chinese history, all of which were caused by the invasion of the northern nomads in the south, and the largest cultural regression occurred in the Song Dynasty, when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin State. In the end, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols! The essence of the Central Plains civilization is lost! ”

Xiao Ming naturally doesn't understand what Ding Jianpeng said, cultural reflection is a common topic of many generations of literati since the "May Fourth", Ding Jianpeng's reaction is also reasonable, but for Xiao Ming, Ding Jianpeng's more simple sentence resonated with him, that is: "Containing the gold, curbing Mongolia, and curbing Mongolia strengthens the Central Plains civilization!" ”

Xiao Ming has always wondered what the world would be like if the bourgeois revolution had taken place in China. In the present world, due to the emergence of Xiao Ming, in this era of the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, large-scale machine production has become a reality, the steam engine has been invented, and new workshops and farms have appeared, these are the germs of capitalism, but if they are interrupted by a sudden war, then the seeds of this civilization are bound to be stifled! Xiao Ming naturally didn't want to see this.

Ding Jianpeng is fully sure to persuade Xiao Ming to implement the plan according to the established strategy, because as long as he links all these things to wealth, then Xiao Ming will naturally not give up all his efforts, even if this wealth does not belong to him, he can't see wealth destroyed! So as long as he mentioned to Xiao Ming the railway project he was about to start on a large scale, Xiao Ming was obedient!

Ai Qili's semicolon establishment work in Guangzhou and other places has been completed, and now he has returned to Hangzhou, and Xiao Ming is also going back to Hangzhou to prepare for the next railway bond issuance, so as soon as he works in Yingtianfu, he immediately returns to Hangzhou in a hot air balloon.

First of all, the design of this railway bond is very difficult, when Xiao Ming and Ai Qili issued war bonds in Liaodong, the rich and large landlords in Liaodong can understand, war, who doesn't know when it comes to war, where is the name of Xiao Ming's red-eyed god of war, where is the record of repeatedly defeating Jin Bing, and there is an official guarantee from Liao's Liunan Mansion, this kind of bond is naturally easy to sell.

Many people who don't know how to settle accounts know that this debt is stable and does not lose money, so that when Wu Yong accumulated taxes in Liaodong to repurchase the debt roll in the later period, there was speculation, and a large amount of funds returned to the people also caused the development of the entire Liaodong private trade, which was also unexpected by Xiao Ming.

But now this kind of railway debt is a bit difficult, first of all, ordinary people can't understand what "railway" is conceptually! Why lay railways? And what benefits will this thing bring to everyone? In other words, at this stage, even advertising needs to be done from scratch, let alone the actual purchase and sale of bonds.

But only when there is a challenge is there motivation, Ai Qili is also such a person, he likes challenging work very much, if there is nothing, it is easier to exert all the strange ideas in his head, Xiao Ming After participating in it for a while, he let it go to Ai Qili and let him watch it himself, but he rushed to An Daoquan's pharmaceutical factory.

In the war, there is a wide range of demand for medicines, in addition to the general Chinese patent medicines, the biggest piece is the demand for trauma drugs, in this regard, Antao is no longer an expert, but a medical school specially hired several experienced trauma doctors.

For this kind of trauma treatment drugs in the Song Dynasty is still called: "gold sore medicine", the name of the gold creation medicine is the same, but the shape of each family is different, the materials are also different, generally paste, powder, pill, etc., external application and internal administration are different, there are two in one, there are also different drugs, which needs to be uniformly customized.

First of all, Antao came forward to identify several different types of gold sore drugs, including pharmacology, hemostatic efficacy, muscle-building effect, convenience of use, etc., comprehensively, selected three, and then spent a high price to buy the formula for development, and integrated the three strengths, specially made into a drug called "gold sore medicine!" Also called "March Scattered!" "In fact, it is a kind of powder, which can be mixed with water or saliva when used, which can quickly stop bleeding and absorb muscles, and can be applied externally or internally, and the effect is very significant!

Since there is a product, of course, it needs to be brought to the market on a large scale, Xiao Ming is not in a hurry, his own tiger guard group needs to place an order, not only that, but he also needs An Daoquan to provide him with several trauma doctors with practical experience! Even students can do it, and this can be done by Antao.

However, he asked Xiao Ming if he was going to fight? Xiao Ming replied to him: "Of course, I want the Northern Expedition!" ”
