Chapter 222 Jin Guo Momentum
Chapter 222 The momentum of the Jin Kingdom! One update!
Wu Zhi: "Your Majesty, Liangshan has been defeated by the empress, and he will be ordered to rest!"
After Wu Zhi finished speaking, although the civil and military officials in the court had already received some news, they still felt very surprised.
After all, Gao Qiu was arrested, but Wu Zhi took action, but he defeated him and was defeated.
Wu Zhi returned with a huge team along the way, and the court officials who were well-informed had some knowledge, especially Wu Zhi had a fight with the people from Liangshan the next day, and was completely defeated.
He is not a match for Duke Zhenguo at all.
Many court officials glanced at each other, not only on Wu Zhi, but also on Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong and others next to him.
Their eyes of Song Jiang were not so friendly, after all, these were some Liangshan bandits and not some good things.
Many people advocated the elimination of Liangshan, but Duke Zhenguo said it was Zhao'an, so who could object?
The main reason is that the Duke of Zhenguo has outstanding achievements and no one dares to say anything.
Other people's achievements are here.
Song Huizong had a smile on his face, which was the good news he heard.
He felt much more comfortable than hearing Gao Qiu being arrested. He looked at Wu Zhi and smiled and said, "Wu Aiqing is worthy of being my loyal minister! I am very pleased to have you brought Liangshan Zhao'an this time!"
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so serious. I am relying on Your Majesty's majesty to succeed this time. These Liangshan bandits heard that Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter, and they are so scared that they are in vain. It is only a matter of defeating him!"
Song Huizong: "Hey, Wu Aiqing, don't be humble. Who doesn't know that the Duke Zhenguo is brave and good at fighting, and can be civil and military. If it weren't for your Duke Zhenguo this time, I'm afraid these bandits will still be arrogant for a while."
Song Huizong: "The person who came here rewarded Duke Zhenguo 500 taels of gold and 300 satin plaid silk, and the rest of the soldiers were rewarded for military merits!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wu Zhi felt that Song Huizong was quite generous, and he could only take hundreds of taels of gold if he could do it casually.
Senior officials of the court only have a monthly salary of several hundred taels.
Song Huizong's reward was equivalent to several thousand taels of silver.
Of course, Wu Zhi's subordinates will also reward him according to his merits, but this still requires reporting military merits. Wu Zhi's achievements are very obvious, so there is no need to worry about it.
Afterwards, Wu Zhi will give the soldiers the merits they should remember and the reports they should report are also a kind of record of accumulated promotion qualifications.
Especially Wu Song, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others are all Wu Zhi's confidants. It is natural for Wu Zhi to be promoted after he has made contributions.
You can be promoted to a high position. If you are promoted directly without achievements, you will also be criticized by others.
At this moment, the civil and military officials in the court were talking a lot, and they were more commending for Wu Zhi to take action to solve the Liangshan bandits.
As a lesson from the past, Gao Qiu failed and Wu Zhi succeeded in Zhao'an. This comparison makes people feel that Wu Zhi has strong abilities.
Cai Jing didn't say anything next to him. This is what the official reward is, which also shows that the official is more interested in Wu Zhi.
Next.
Song Huizong looked at Song Jiang: "You are the Liangshan bandit Song Jiang? Look up!"
Song Jiang knelt on the ground at this moment: "Your Majesty, the villain is Song Jiang!"
Song Jiang was trembling.
Song Huizong said: "This time, my original intention is to destroy you, a group of bold bandits, but the Duke of Zhenguo proposed to defend you. If it weren't for Duke of Zhenguo, you wouldn't have appeared here at this moment."
"From the future, you will follow the Duke of Zhenguo to make meritorious service and serve the Song Dynasty, do you know?"
"Your Majesty, the people of Liangshan, are willing to devote themselves to the Song Dynasty and make meritorious service! We will live up to your Majesty's kindness to Liangshan!"
Song Jiang was very nervous inside.
After all, the official family of the Song Dynasty sat above.
He also knew that if it weren't for the Duke of Zhenguo and the others wouldn't have come here.
This was the first time he came to this solemn court.
I was also full of gratitude to the Duke of Zhenguo.
"After Zhao'an, the Duke of Zhenguo will be responsible for everything. I will leave their affairs to you, so I won't worry about it!"
"Abide by the order!" Wu Zhi received the order.
Song Jiang and his group can be said to have become Wu Zhi's people at this moment.
As for how to arrange, what position to give them, or establish a new imperial guard camp, it is all about Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi doesn't have to report it.
Wu Zhi had already formulated plans for these cannon fodders to be pioneers for the enemy country or bandits.
At this time, Song Huizong looked at Gao Qiu again.
Gao Qiu lowered his head at this moment and did not look at Song Huizong's eyes.
But Song Huizong still paid attention to him: "Gao Qiu, do you know your guilt!"
Hearing the official's name calling him, Gao Qiu immediately knelt on the ground: "I know my crime. It is Wei's fault that the failure of Liangshan incident this time is Wei's fault!... Thanks to Duke Zhenguo rescued Wei's minister, it is unfavorable for me to lead troops. I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish me!"
Gao Qiu was very obedient. When he heard Song Huizong calling his name, he knelt on the ground and honestly.
Also admit your mistakes and incompetence.
When Song Huizong saw it, he shook his head: "Gao Qiu,... from now on, stay in the Sports Department and do your Cuju well!"
Gao Qiu was not punished, which shows that Song Huizong still liked him very much.
If you change someone, you may have to be directly dismissed from your post and investigated.
Gao Qiu said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I am already in progress today's Cuju competition. The Sports Department has already recruited the state competition nationwide. I believe that at the end of the year, we can present your Majesty a wonderful Song Dynasty Bianjing Cuju competition!"
"Weichen really lacks talent for military affairs, but we promise that in Cuju, we are the first in the Song Dynasty... except for Duke Zhenguo, we are the first person in Cuju!"
At this time, Gao Qiu did not forget to flatter Wu Zhi.
But to be honest, Gao Qiu knew that his words were true, and Wu Zhi Cuju was really better than him.
Thinking of this, Gao Qiu felt a little ashamed. Wu Zhi seemed to be better than him in everything.
Why!
Gao Qiu was helpless too.
But except for Duke Zhenguo, he believed that no one in the Song Dynasty could be more suitable than him to play Cuju.
How could Duke Zhenguo do these things? Just let him do it.
Now Gao Qiu's idea has changed. If you can have a meal, just stay in the Sports Department. After all, he is the highest official in this area, and no one cares about him.
Song Huizong nodded. He and Gao Qiu knew each other very early. When he was not an official, he played with Gao Qiu.
Seeing Gao Qiu like this at this moment, Song Huizong said, "I hope you don't let me down. If I did a good job in this Cuju competition, I will be rewarded!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"
While Gao Qiu was speaking, he stepped back into the corner and breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Huizong still liked Cuju very much. Although some of the court officials thought it was inappropriate to deal with Gao Qiu, they were not punished after all, and they could still get rewards after getting a Cuju. The officials were more kind to Gao Qiu.
However, compared to the Duke of Zhenguo, no one objected to it.
At this moment, a court official reported: "Report to Your Majesty, according to the latest information, the Jin Kingdom has destroyed another city in Liao Kingdom!"
"Another city was broken!" The ministers who heard the news changed drastically.
The Jin Kingdom is too fierce!
If they follow this momentum, the Jin Kingdom might continue to conquer other cities of the Liao Kingdom, which would easily lead to a concerted effort, defeating the Liao Kingdom, or even defeating the Liao Kingdom!
The might of the Jin Kingdom has already been impressed by many ministers in the court.
They were worried about the Liao Kingdom before, but now many people are worried about the Jin Kingdom's momentum.
At this time, a court official stood up and it was Cai Jing's man: "Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom is so strong and the Liao Kingdom has suffered consecutive losses, which is not a good sign!"
"If the Jin Kingdom continued like this and conquered the Liao Kingdom, it would be unfavorable to our Song Dynasty!"
"The Jin Kingdom was baptized in the war. Once the Liao Kingdom was captured, they might have thought about our Song Dynasty. Although the Song Dynasty army had excellent equipment and led by the Duke of Zhenguo, they did not go to the battlefield for a long time. Faced with the growing army of the Jin Kingdom, we must also be careful!"
Zeng Bu came out and said, "As you said, our Song Dynasty is not a rival to the Jin Dynasty?"
The minister said: "The Jin Kingdom has started a war with the Liao Kingdom and has repeatedly attacked Liaocheng! It is rare to lose the battle, which shows that the Jin Kingdom is brave and good at fighting and is gradually growing. Among them, it is also because the Zhenguo public sells their weapons!"
Wu Zhi’s idea is to sell weapons.
It did make the Jin Kingdom stronger.
Now the Jin Kingdom has recruited many tribe members from their Jurchen tribe, as well as the previously integrated tribes to be collected as soldiers.
The army was also expanding, and the captives of the Liao Kingdom were also exiled.
These court officials have also made sense to consider it.
In the first year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty (1126), the famous general of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan led an army of about 150,000, and divided the troops into two groups to Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and captured them in a short time.
This shows that the Jin Dynasty later developed extremely strongly.
Of course, their team is not that big at the moment, but at least there are 20,000.
But the 20,000 Jin Kingdom could resist the 80,000 elite troops of the Liao Kingdom.
Extremely powerful combat power!
"According to your words, how should we deal with the war between the Jin and Liao countries?" Song Huizong stared at the courtier.
The court minister said, "I hope that Your Majesty will suspend the sale of Jin weapons! Let the Liao and Jin Kingdoms be consumed in constant fighting, which will be beneficial to our Song Dynasty!"
"Weichen also thinks this should be done!"
Cai Jing's group of people came out to speak.
Wu Dalang: Thank you for the reward of 100 starting coins for the Eye Xin...
Chapter completed!
