Chapter 198: Triumph

…

Just when Guan Sheng was waiting for the Zhao Song court to send him a navy next to Liangshanbo, the Zhao and Song courts were shaken again.

And this time the shock is far more ferocious than the last time.

Among them, there must be Jiang Hongfei who laid down the Daimyo's Mansion and tried the dignitaries, wealthy families, and ministers and doctors of the Daimyo's Mansion all over again, killing them, raiding their homes, and emptying the entire Daimyo's Mansion.

But that's not the main reason.

You must know that after the Liangshan Army ransacked the Daimyo's Mansion, he was "beaten" and ran away by Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou.

Be.

After that, the Liangshan army took advantage of the weakness of Kaide Mansion and ran to Kaide Mansion to burn and loot.

However, in Zhao Jijunchen's opinion, since Du Chong was able to defeat the Liangshan army by only leading the Cangzhou soldiers, it means that the previous Liang Zhongshu and Yang Guishan were both wine bags and rice bags, and it also shows that Jiang Hongfei and Shuibo Liangshan are not worried.

Of course, this is not only because Du Chong "defeated" Jiang Hongfei, but also because in the eyes of Zhao Jijunchen, Jiang Hongfei and Shuibo Liangshan have a narrow vision, whether they rob the Daimyo's Mansion or the Kaide Mansion, they are just for money, not to attack the city and seize the pool, raise troops to build the country, and overthrow the rule of the Zhao and Song dynasties, so they are not afraid.

But Tian Hu and Wang Qing are different.

Before Wang Qing defeated Cai You, Wang Qing had already set up the banner of recruiting troops, buying horses and recruiting troops, accumulating grass and grain, and the villages and towns near and far where Fangshan was located were plundered, and later broke the neighboring Shangjin County, Zhushan County, and Yunxiang County.

After defeating Cai You, Wang Qingzhi's momentum grew and he began to march south.

Li Zhu is also a native of Jingnan, so he pretended to be a star and entered the city, secretly corrected the evil and young traitors, and attacked the city of Jingnan.

So far, Wang Qing has occupied two military prefectures and dozens of county seats.

Subsequently, Wang Qing called himself the "King of Chu", and then there were Jiangyang thieves and copycat strongmen, all of whom came to meet each other......

Tian Hu's footsteps were faster than Wang Qing's, and when Jiang Hongfei made trouble in Hebei and attracted the officials and troops to the Daimyo's Mansion, Tian Hu, who had received the support of Jiang Hongfei's large number of soldiers, expanded towards Fenyang with lightning speed.

At that time, there were also a few officers, who led some soldiers and horses, to chase and suppress Tian Hu.

But these Song troops, where dare to step forward, are just tailing, running around, bluffing, and even killing good and risking merit.

As a result, the local people became more and more resentful of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and instead went to Tianhu to avoid the officers and soldiers.

In just one month, Tian Hu occupied Fenyang and more than 20 counties to which the two states belonged, in addition to Weisheng.

The key is that Tian Hu's courage is greater than Wang Qing, he actually built a palace in Fenyang, set up civil and military bureaucrats, internal and external generals, dominated one side, and called himself the king of Jin.

Now Tian Hu's soldiers are fierce and occupy a large territory in the east of the river with steep mountains and rivers.

Compared with Tian Hu and Wang Qing, who dared to claim the title of king, build palaces, set up officials and generals, and establish a new regime, Jiang Hongfei, who only robbed two states and rolled up his property and ran back to the small puddle in Liangshanbo, is not worth mentioning at all.

There are even ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties who feel that the reason why Jiang Hongfei is not called king like Tian Hu and Wang Qing is because they want the Zhao and Song Dynasty to recruit him, and they can use the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf to recruit Jiang Hongfei and the heroes of Liangshan, and give Jiang Hongfei and the heroes of Liangshan official positions at will, and let Jiang Hongfei lead the heroes of Liangshan to exterminate Tian Hu and Wang Qing.

If nothing else happens, it is really possible for Zhao Ji Junchen to go to Zhao'an Shuibo Liangshan, and then use this strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.

Unfortunately......

Not long ago, on the order of Zhao Jijun's ministers, in the name of buying horses, he actually went to talk about the Ma Zheng of Lianjin to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and went through many twists and turns to Azhichuan (probably near the Lalin River in Songyuan, Jilin).

Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta was very surprised by Ma Zheng's arrival, he never thought that the Zhao Song Dynasty would send someone to cross the sea to contact them Jin Guo.

Wanyan Aguta summoned Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Xianye, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, Yang Pu and other high-level officials of the Jin State to hold a meeting in his emperor's village to discuss how to deal with this matter?

The high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom were not prepared for this, and finally decided to send Wan Yan Zonghan to contact Ma Zheng first to understand the situation.

Wanyan Zonghan then came to Ma Zheng's residence and asked bluntly: "Are you sent by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?" What is the purpose of your coming? ”

Ma Zheng thought, what kind of character is the person who came? I don't say a word of greeting, I don't introduce myself, and I interrogate you as soon as you meet, why is it so rude?

But Ma Zheng, who wanted to succeed, still replied: "We were sent by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the past, you and I had contacts between our two families, and I sent envoys to buy horses many times when I was in the dynasty of Taizu. Now the emperor of our dynasty has heard that the Gui Dynasty has captured more than 50 Khitan cities, and wants to restore the former friendly relations with the Gui Dynasty. The Liao country is now angry and resentful, and our dynasty also wants to send troops to fight, save the souls, restore the homeland, and are willing to work with your dynasty to attack Liao. I came to explore the way this time, and I didn't bring my credentials, and if you agree to cooperate, I will officially send an envoy to come. ”

After Yan Zonghan figured out Ma Zheng's intentions, he quickly went to report to Yan Agu.

Wanyan Agu inquired and was very happy, but he didn't believe it a little: "The Great Song Dynasty is also going to cut Liao?" Didn't the two of them have a covenant? ”

Yang Pu explained: "There is indeed a covenant between Song and Liao, which was signed between Song Zhenzong and Liao Shengzong more than a hundred years ago, and that covenant was a bit humiliating for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wanyan Wu begged to buy: "They didn't bring the national letter either, who knows if what they said is true or false?" ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "It doesn't look like it's fake. If so, what is their purpose? ”

Wanyan Xiyin suggested: "I think, my family can send someone to carry the national letter as a messenger to go with them to the Great Song Dynasty to have a look." The first is to distinguish the true from the false, and the second is to use this to observe the reality of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

A few days later, Wanyan Aguta sent Li Shanqing, a Bohai man, and a Jurchen Xiaosanduo, and Bo Da to the Zhao and Song dynasties, and they returned to the Zhao and Song dynasties with Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing with their letters of state and gifts.

In this way, the two countries of Song and Jin completely got in touch, and the matter of Lianjin destroying Liao and recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun was officially put on the agenda.

Today, the Golden Envoy is in the post house in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

If at this time, the Zhao Song Dynasty went to suppress the bandits with great fanfare, maybe the Jin envoy would know about it and bring the news to the Jin Kingdom.

In this way, first, it will make the Jin people look down on the Zhao and Song dynasties, and second, it will destroy the plan that Zhao Jijun and his ministers have been planning for many years to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, which is about to succeed.

It is not difficult to see from this that Zhao Jijunchen still doesn't care about Shuibo Liangshan, and he doesn't even care about Tian Hu and Wang Qing.

In fact, this is not to blame Zhao Jijunchen for being so careless.

You must know that there were uprisings in the Song Dynasty, which came and went, and the number of them was unprecedented.

According to historical records, there were 433 uprisings in the more than 300 years before and after the Song Dynasty, an average of 1.4 times a year.

It can be seen that like Jiang Hongfei, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing's generation of Shuikou Mountain bandits, Zhao Jijunchen has really seen too much.

Therefore, in Zhao Jijunchen's opinion, scabies diseases like Jiang Hongfei, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing must not be allowed to affect their plan to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

When the major event of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun is successful, Jiang Hongfei, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing will be exterminated if they are good, and they will be recruited for a small official position if they are not exterminated, they have been like this for two hundred years in the Zhao and Song dynasties, and they are very familiar.

As a result, the fire of suppression of bandits that had just been ignited quickly became silent, and even the disgraced Cai Jing and Cai You did not dare to hold on to this matter anymore.

In this way, Guan Sheng is tragic.

What do you say?

Just because the Zhao and Song dynasties did not have a naval army at all.

Of course, the same cannot be said.

How could such a big dynasty not have a water army?

But in fact, there is also a lot of none.

First of all, the two largest and most capable naval armies of the Zhao and Song dynasties were the Dengzhou naval army, namely: the Ping Navy and the Cheng Navy.

But even these two naval armies, whether they are manpower or ships, are actually not muchβ€”the two together are less than 2,000 people, and there are not many ships.

Some people may not give up and want to ask, in the huge Zhao and Song Dynasty, there is no other large-scale naval army?

If you insist on it, there is actually another one.

This navy is the Gyeonggi Navy.

As soon as the season arrives every year, the emperor of the Zhao and Song dynasties will personally go to the five halls of Jinmingchi to take up their positions and watch the Gyeonggi navy perform hard around them.

The ever-changing array of long snakes, rectangular formations, and circular formations, as well as the imaginary enemy ships burned down with rockets and fire ships by the "soldiers" of the Gyeonggi Navy Navy in boats covered with colorful stripes, are very spectacle-looking.

And the people of Bianliang City, Tokyo, do not pay attention to its actual combat effect, but only try to achieve the best visual effect under the fluttering flags.

This is the current Zhao Song Dynasty's entire naval army.

Actually-

The reason why the naval army of the Zhao Song Dynasty became like this is because after the founding of the Zhao Song Dynasty, there was no water war to fight - a hundred years ago, the Zhao Song Dynasty mainly fought with the Liao State in the Yanshan region and the Hebei region. After that, he mainly fought with Western Xia in the Hengshan area. There is no need for the participation of the navy, especially the latter, which fights purely in the mountains, and does not even need the navy to transport grain.

As a result, with the exception of the Dengju Navy and the Gyeonggi Navy Army, the other armies were either completely banned or retained only a very small establishment, that is, the kind of three or five boats and thirty or fifty people.

In this case, Guan Sheng asked the Privy Council for a water army, so where did Tong Guan steal it for him?

The key is that because the Jin envoy is in Bianliang City, Tokyo, the Gyeonggi Navy still has to reserve a program for the Jin Envoy's performance, and after a while, the Jin Envoy has to return to the Jin Kingdom from Dengzhou, and the Dengzhou Navy needs to be sent, and the only two water armies in the Zhao and Song Dynasty cannot be moved.

Guan Sheng didn't know anything about this, he was still beside Liangshanbo like Wangfu Shi, stupidly waiting for the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts to send him a navy.

Until Jiang Hongfei led the Liangshan army to triumph for Tianxingdao in Kaide Mansion......
