"Brother Song!"

Liao Heng ran down the hall like a happy jumper and gave a hug warmly, "You can hope to die!" I've been dreaming of you for the past few days! ”

"How can the queen be embarrassed to hear this?" Song Che said with a smile.

"Hahaha, the queen is in her arms, Brother Song is in her heart, they are all people I can't live without," Liao Heng took Song Che's hand and walked to the hall, and greeted: "Come on, add a seat next to me!" Brother Song returns, and the crisis can be solved! ”

"Hey, hey, how can Song Moujie grass people be on an equal footing with His Majesty? I'd better stand down there, lest anyone answer me. Song Che glanced at Han Zhang, and shook his head at Liao Heng.

Liao Heng understood and said, "Okay, since Brother Song is so polite, I don't force it, but I have to sit at the same table with me in the dining room later." ”

Song Che smiled: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

The Korean abbot and the henchmen are not jealous. He said: "Mr. Song, the old man didn't intend to copy your house before, but he just felt that now that the treasury is empty, it is a good time for you to serve the imperial court. ”

"Of course I want to help!"

Song Che's voice surrounded the hall, and he said sonorously: "Even if Song Mou scatters all his family wealth, he will help His Majesty calm the world!" ”

"Okay, okay, since Mr. Song's words, let's recruit troops and buy horses, don't we have no money?"

"Yes, yes, it has to be Mr. Song, it has to be Mr. Song......"

"Mr. Song is really a peerless countryman."

There are still many ministers who respect Song Che.

"Mr. Song, don't talk big, raising an army of 100,000 people requires millions of taels, even if the family has a big business, can you afford it?" Han Dong is yin and yang.

"Yes, Brother Song, the 600,000 army in the west can cost Daliang almost a year's finances, this is ......" Liao Heng said: "I don't need you to scatter all your wealth, as long as you can contribute a little more, you can rest assured, how much money you take out this time, I will pay you back at interest in the next year." ”

"You don't think of me as a brother when you say that." Song Che said solemnly: "The whole world is the king's land, and what is mine is yours, so why not borrow it?" ”

He added: "Of course, even if I empty my family's funds, I can't make up for the gaps in the entire Daliang treasury, but Your Majesty and your lords can rest assured that I have my own way to fill the treasury!" ”

"Since Mr. Song is so confident, can you give a deadline in front of the ministers and His Majesty?" Han Dong asked loudly.

"South Korea." He Qiu, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke, "It's love to help, it's duty not to help, brother-in-law, he dares to be the first in the world, he has outperformed you and me too much, why are you aggressive?" ”

Han Dong squinted and sneered, "It turns out that Mr. Song is still Lord He's brother-in-law, no wonder, no wonder ......"

"What do you mean—"

"Hey." Song Che raised his hand to signal He Qiu to stop, and he looked at Han Dong with a smile: "Do business, there should be a deadline, so that Your Majesty and your lords can rest assured,"

He stretched out a finger and said loudly: "Then Song promises that before the end of the year, he will raise no less than 10 million taels of silver for the imperial court!" If you can't do it, you have to kill it! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers were divided. This is only two months away from the end of the year, and the average monthly calculation is five million taels, and ordinary people really dare not boast of such a Haikou.

"Good! If Mr. Song can make up enough military expenses as scheduled, the old man is willing to bow to you three times in public! Han Dong said.

"Hey...... The Korean husband is already a sixtieth year, isn't it tormented to worship me? Song Che smiled and said: "Why don't we change the agreement, if I can really scrape together 10 million taels of silver a month and set your granddaughter and my youngest son as a baby, how about we be in-laws?" ”

Han Dong looked at Liao Heng.

Liao Heng readily agreed: "Very good, very good!" ”

"Your Majesty, I arrived in Jinling early in the morning, and I came to the palace without even eating breakfast, and I was a little hungry at this time." Song Che rubbed his stomach and said.

Liao Heng immediately understood, waved his hand to announce his retreat from the court, pulled Song Che and He Qiu, and walked to the imperial study.

Through He Qiu's oral account along the way, Song Che also had some understanding of the situation of the authorities:

Zhao Sui was suddenly put back, and the Jinling side was almost caught off guard, and before the dynasty could react, Ma Wei's Xiliang army occupied Chang'an, and a month after occupying Luoyang.

Fortunately, He Qiu had a long-term vision, and as soon as he learned the news that Zhao Sui was against Liang, he separated 30,000 from the 50,000 forbidden army in Jinling, and went north to occupy Bianjing first.

After the Western Liang army occupied Luoyang, Zhao Sui issued two edicts to Liao Heng to hand over the imperial power, otherwise he would go all the way south to attack Jinling.

At the beginning of the expedition to the west, almost all the forces of the Great Liang were mobilized, and now the troops of the states and road guards on the banks of the Qinhuai River are only 2,000, and they are still low combat effectiveness, inferior weapons and equipment, and the Liang Naval Division and the border army are always on guard against Dijon, and the Western Expedition army is also trapped in Lanzhou by the flooded Wei River...... The new dynasty has reached the autumn of critical survival!

"Brother Song, what should I do?" Liao Heng was anxious.

Song Che stood by the window with his hands in his hands, and did not answer directly, but asked lightly: "Your Majesty, do you want to give up the throne?" ”

Liao Heng was silent for a long time, and his tone was firm: "I don't want to!" ”

"Good!"

Song Che turned around, gestured four fingers, and said confidently: "I only need four steps to make Your Majesty sit firmly in the country and sit back and relax——

First, conform to the will of the people and accept the will of heaven.

No matter what kind of struggle, we all pay attention to four words, that is, "the teacher is famous."

Presumably, the reason why Zhao Sui asked you to abdicate is that you are the acting emperor, and he is the orthodox monarch, right?

Then we first have to find a reason to ask Zhao Sui, but he is the king who inherits the throne, if the spearhead is pointed at him, it will inevitably be criticized by the world;

In this way, we might as well transfer the contradiction - now the reason why Zhao Sui dares to force you to hand over the imperial power is because of the support of Ma Wei's Xiliang army, if we can defeat Ma Wei, we can cut off Zhao Sui's wings, and it is not enough for him to be a king with an empty title;

With the thinking of a marketman, if you want to ruin a person's reputation, the easiest way is to 'pour dirty water' on him;

We can ask the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to write an 'essay on the thief', saying that Ma Wei held the emperor hostage to order the world, intending to seek power and usurp the throne, and we will hold high the banner of 'Qingjun' to sweep away the traitors and welcome back the righteous lord;"

Speaking of this, he asked Xiang He Qiu again: "Brother-in-law, I don't know if Lingzhi is still running the business of the 'Xilairen' troupe?" ”

He Qiu pouted and said: "She has developed the Xilai people to more than 100 people, touring in major towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the Xilai people opera troupe is almost a household name. ”

"Good." Song Che said with a smile: "Then you go back later, let her summon the troupe, and arrange a few scenes, the theme is, 'Ma Wei seeks power and usurps the throne', 'Zhao Sui was captured Dijon', 'Zhao Heng expelled the Tartars', in short, highlight Ma Wei's evil, Zhao Sui's mediocrity, and Zhao Heng's wisdom;

After arranging the plays, they let all the big and small troupes tour around the country.

The so-called drama is like life, life is like drama, and the way through opera interpretation can often penetrate more deeply into the hearts of ordinary people. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Liao Heng clapped his hands and praised: "Good!" If the opera she arranges can achieve the propaganda effect, I will give her an additional 2,000 households! ”

He smiled and said to He Qiu: "Lord He, from now on, Mrs. Ling will be on an equal footing with you." ”

He Qiu bent down and said: "Your Majesty, Lingzhi is just a mountain and wild village woman, how can she be worthy of this honor, and please take back your Majesty's order!" ”

"Huh? You kid dare to say that my sister is a mountain village woman? Song Che's eyes widened.

He Qiu kept squeezing his eyebrows at Song Che.

Liao Heng waved his hand slightly, "Okay, okay, you have no jokes, how can you take back what you say, you don't have to excuse yourself." ”

"Then Weichen thanked Your Majesty for the cheap!"

"Huh? Do you dare to say that my sister is a? Song Che's eyes widened a little more, "Now that she is a first-class lady, she is not lower than your prime minister's status, you have to hold her in the palm of your hand." ”

He Qiu rolled his eyes, grabbed Song Che's wrist, and broke off the second finger: "Now that the teacher is famous, what about this second step?" ”

"Before I talk about this second step, I would like to ask His Majesty and the Prime Minister a question," Song Che asked.

"After I drove Dijon out of the north, I negotiated many times to welcome back the emperor, but they didn't agree, but this time they took the initiative to release it back, may I ask, what is Dijon's intentions?"

He Qiu said: "It is clear that I want to undermine the stability of the beam, so as to make profits and then try the Central Plains." ”

"Yes, after figuring out this problem, the second step plan can also surface," Song Che said: "Since Dijon's purpose is to reap the benefits, then we will let him not reap the benefits-

Now Daliang and Dijon are in the stage of stalemate in the northern passes, and it is difficult to clash again in a short time, but the sea is different.

Dijon is stronger than the army and weaker than the navy, and with the combat effectiveness of our naval division, it can be subdued in a battle at sea;

In this way, why don't we follow the strategy of the Northern Expedition in the past, send sailors from the Bohai Bay, attack the coastline of Dijon, contain their forces, drag them into the quagmire of war, and make them have no time to look at the Central Plains. ”

"What a move, 'attack the east and the west, besiege the city and send reinforcements'!" Liao Heng praised, and the next moment he had some doubts: "Half of the Liang Sailors have been reorganized into horse infantry since they were cleared and confiscated, even if they can be recalled, the grain, grass, maintenance, and military salaries of more than 100,000 people are not a small amount, and the current treasury is really empty, how can they afford it?" ”

Song Che waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about money, I will go back to Hangzhou tomorrow, transfer some from the money village, and then ask businessmen to raise some donations in the name of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and it will not be a problem to make up emergency money;

Moreover, this plan is to let the sailors attack Dijon, not let them attack Dijon, we might as well learn from the Japanese and use small boats to land on the coast of Dijon, and run back to the sea after smashing them, with our water steamers, Dijon will not be able to catch up at all;

If they dare to send ships to chase after them, it will be even better, with the artillery equipped by our sailors, they will definitely be able to sink their fleet in Bohai Bay! ”
