Although Zhu Shengfei was reluctant, he had to accept this fact, he knew that he could not change the decision of the official family, so he wrote to Qin Hui to express his dissatisfaction and concern, he was worried that this Zhao Yingluo would become the second threatening figure like Liu Guangshi or Wu Sangui......

He began to formally deal with the affairs of the court, and at the same time began to pay attention to the situation of those officials of the anti-war faction.

And the Empress Dowager Xuanhe also began to prepare to leave Lin'an for Nanjing (now Shangqiu, Henan), after all, it was her territory.

During this period, Zhao Gou received some more news about Zong Ze.

It is said that Zong Ze led the army of King Qin to engage the Jin army many times in the area of Chenzhou, and won all of them.

This made Zhao Gou's view of Zong Ze change a lot.

He began to consider reusing Zong Ze and other anti-war officials.

On the other side of Lin'an City, Zhao Yingluo is also paying attention to Zong Ze's movements. After she heard the news of Zong Ze's successive battles, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved in her heart. This former guard general has now become a solid barrier in the Southern Song Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhao Yingluo is also actively planning the next move. She understood that if she wanted to really help the Southern Song court, she had to reform from within. The first step is to win the support of Zhu Shengfei and other anti-war officials.

Zhu Shengfei, an official with a certain influence in the DPRK, has always been the focus of Zhao Yingluo's attention. She knew very well that if she wanted to change the status quo of the Southern Song Dynasty, she had to have the help of these officials.

However, when Zhu Shengfei didn't plan to contact him for the time being, Zhao Yingluo decided to try planting super rice in Lin'an.

The rice that achieved an astonishing yield in later generations must have a good yield in this era.

So, Zhao Yingluo told Wang Zaixing, Jiang Laosi and others about this idea.

"Your Highness, are you saying that let's try to grow this super rice in Lin'an?" A maid asked, confused.

"That's right, this rice has a very high yield in my hometown, and I think there should be a good harvest here." Zhao Yingluo nodded, and then said, "We can find a piece of fertile land outside the city and try to plant it." ”

"But is this rice suitable for growing in Lin'an?" Jiang Laosi asked.

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, "This kind of rice has been cultivated in my hometown for many years, and it is very suitable for the climate and soil there. I believe that there will be a good harvest in Lin'an. ”

When Jiang Laosi and Wang Zaixing heard her say this, they immediately went to buy land.

Soon after, Zhao found a fertile plot of land outside the city and began growing the super rice.

After months of hard work, the rice is finally ripe.

When the farmers saw the golden rice fields, they couldn't help but shed tears of excitement. They know that the rice they have worked so hard to grow will bring a better life to the people of Lin'an.

After the news was transmitted back to Lin'an, Zhao Gou was also shocked. He originally thought that this super rice was only suitable for the southern region, but he did not expect that it could also have such a high yield in Lin'an.

"This Zhao Yingluo...... So capable! Zhao Gou muttered to himself, "Her loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, I really blame her!" ”

At the same time, the Empress Dowager Xuanhe also heard the news. She was unhappy in her heart, but she also knew that this was the trend of the times and could not be changed.

And Zhao Yingluo, who was far away in Nanjing, also learned the news, and she smiled slightly, "This Zhao Gou has finally begun to reuse Zong Ze and other anti-war officials!" It's a good start. ”

"It seems that General Zong Ze is indeed a rare general." A general interjected at the right time.

"Yes, his command skills and battlefield response are excellent." Zong Ze nodded and said, "We can't cower just because the Empress Dowager Xuanhe's army is strong, on the contrary, we should adopt flexible tactics to resist." ”

"General Zongze, you're right." Another general also said, "We only have tens of thousands of horses, and if we can't give full play to our advantages, it will be difficult to resist the army of the Empress Dowager Xuanhe." ”

"So, how do we play to our strengths?" A general asked.

Zong Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Our advantage lies in our familiarity with the terrain and our strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, we should use the terrain to set traps to lure Empress Dowager Xuanhe's army into our ambush circle. ”

The generals nodded in agreement, and they all agreed that this was a feasible tactic.

Soon after, Zong Ze led King Qin's army to an ambush in a place with dangerous terrain. They used the dense woods and bushes as cover and quietly waited for the arrival of the Empress Dowager's army.

A few days later, the army of the Empress Dowager Xuanhe really came to attack, and was lured into the ambush circle by Zong Ze and others. With Zong Ze's order, King Qin's army rushed out from all directions and attacked the enemy's central army.

Because the Empress Dowager Xuanhe's army was caught off guard, it was quickly defeated. In this battle, King Qin's army won a complete victory, killing thousands of enemy soldiers and capturing a large amount of baggage and grain and grass.

After the news was transmitted back to Lin'an, Zhao Gou was shocked. He realized that he was wrong not to support Zongze's idea of the Northern Expedition against Jin. At this moment, Zhao Gou began to regret that he did not give Zong Ze more support and trust at the beginning.

And Zhao Yingluo, who was far away outside Lin'an City, also learned the news of Zong Ze's defeat of Xuanhe Empress Dowager's army. She smiled slightly, sighing that this former guard general has now become a solid barrier in the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, Zhao Yingluo also realized that in order to help the Southern Song court, it was necessary to carry out reforms from within. She began to actively plan her next move, hoping to win the support of more anti-war officials.

At the same time, Zhu Shengfei and other anti-war faction officials also began to pay attention to Zong Ze's movements. They knew that the Southern Song Dynasty needed a general who could lead the army against foreign invasions. And Zong Ze's performance in successive battles made them begin to re-examine this once neglected general.

Over time, Zhao began to reuse Zong Ze and other anti-war officials. He realized that the Southern Song Dynasty needed an internal reform to improve the country's strength and competitiveness. With the support of Zhao Gou, Zong Ze and others began to improve the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty by reorganizing the army, strengthening national defense forces, and improving agricultural production efficiency.

At the same time, Zhao Yingluo was also actively seeking the support of Zhu Shengfei and other anti-war officials. She contacted Zhu Shengfei through various channels and conveyed her thoughts and wishes to him. As a result of her efforts, Zhu Shengfei and other officials began to gradually accept and support her reform plan.

With the passage of time, the Southern Song Dynasty began to gradually take on a new look. Under the leadership of Zong Ze and other generals, the army of the Southern Song Dynasty began to gradually grow and effectively resisted the invasion of foreign enemies. At the same time, Zhao Yingluo's plan to try to grow super rice has also been a great success. This high-yield rice has greatly improved the living standards of the people of Lin'an. The Southern Song Dynasty court began to gradually gain the trust and support of the people.
