The kings who subjugated their country in history will always do some things that are extremely ridiculous in the eyes of future generations. Needless to say, Huizong of Song Dynasty. His ministers are all famous ministers in history, except Cai Jing, who was a scholar from the imperial examination.
Outside, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, etc. are all different
A man with no skills, he himself believed in Taoism. Until the real Nv came, he actually used Taoist priests to defend the city. Now it seems ridiculous! In later generations, the Kingdom of Jin suffered from the invasion of Menggu and lost most of its territory. At this time
Didn’t the Jin Kingdom unite with the Southern Song Dynasty to resist?
~~!-As for the last emperors of the Yuan Dynasty and the last emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they both made absurd decisions. The demise of the country was also closely related to these foolish emperors.
In this era, Liangshan has conquered the sixteen states of Yanyun, almost replacing the original position of the Liao Kingdom. However, in addition to his initial fear, Song Huizong began to become arrogant again after only half a year.
mentality! He
He looked down on his wife for being such a barbarian, and hated Wanyan Zongfu for being rude! He also looked down on Liangshan, and Song Huizong placed Liangshan in the position of a "thief and bandit" in his heart. He felt that these "thieves and bandits" were insignificant and could not affect his status as king.
At this moment, in the palace, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was talking to Yang Jian.
"Master Zhong said that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have a large population, but their food production is limited, so many people must have no food to eat this year! Liangshan is just a bandit, and they cannot really manage the people. I believe that Yan
There will definitely be hunluan in Yunliuzhou now! Humph, one
They can persist in two years, but they will definitely not be able to persist in two or three years. When war breaks out in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, that is when we will really launch an attack! Yang Jian, after you go to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun,
Let me take a closer look and see how badly they are short of food!" Zhao Ji said.
Jian hurriedly agreed.
"Although they occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, they are rebels after all. You are an envoy of the Celestial Dynasty. After meeting them, you must not lose the reputation of the Song Dynasty! Even the governor of Liangshan must kneel down to accept them.
Purpose!" Song Huizong said again.
Jian agreed again.
"The north is a land of bitter cold. You took the initiative to ask for an envoy this time. It must have been extremely difficult along the way! Thank you for your hard work. I will reward you well when you come back." Song Huizong said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Jian said hurriedly.
After giving a few careful instructions, Song Huizong waved Yang Jian away. He continued to study the "Lingbao Jinglu" and soon entered the state of "forgetting both things and myself" until midnight, when the eunuch came to urge him.
At that time, Song Huizong reluctantly put down his sutra and prepared to fall asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Jian and Zhu Wu left Bianliang City and headed north, with 100 sergeants escorting them along the way.
Yang Jian was very excited. This was his second mission to Liangshan! But the first time was to Goryeo. Goryeo was a small country, so it was of little significance to go there as an envoy! But the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was the former Liao Kingdom.
The core is the city of Yanjing in the spring and autumn
The Warring States Period was a famous city in the world, and Liangshan's current strength was very different from that of the past. The significance of this mission was naturally of great importance! He felt that this was a great era of ups and downs, and that he, Yang Jian, would also become a great man who made history.
From the time we left Bianliang City, every time we arrived at a city, local officials and gentry would come out to greet the "imperial envoy", and we would be delayed for a long time every time we arrived.
Whenever Zhu Wu went to a place, he would carefully observe the local situation, including the terrain on the road, the population, the deployment of troops, etc., as well as the local people's attitude towards Liangshan and their attitude towards the imperial court. Liangshan had a large number of spies in the Central Plains.
, these spies will also
The information he obtained was constantly collected by Zhu Wu. Zhu Wu wrote everything down and planned to hand it over to Wu Dong after he returned, so that Wu Dong could make an effective judgment on the situation in the Central Plains. Sooner or later, Liangshan would send troops to the Central Plains.
, you need to understand all this now.
He was extremely careful in his work, and even asked Lu Zhishen to understand the situation of the local Jianghu and the current attitude of Jianghu towards Liangshan. Unfortunately, because of Liangshan’s actions in the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, the current Jianghu figures no longer have any regard for Liangshan.
It was admiration but fear and disgust. Regarding this, Zhu Wu was also helpless. He still felt that the methods used by Wu Dong were too tough.
It took them nearly a month to arrive in Cangzhou, which is now just a military city in the north. The city is very small, and there are no ordinary people except soldiers. Many soldiers have served here for many years, and many even
A head full of white hair. In the Song Dynasty, military service was a life-long system. Those who were relevant could retire at the age of 60. If not, they would continue to serve in the army until they were 70 or 80 years old.
The soldiers huddled in the corner one by one. They looked sallow and thin, and their physical condition was extremely poor. There used to be a large fodder yard here. Unfortunately, in order to deal with Lin Chong, Gao Qiu burned down the fodder yard that could supply hundreds of thousands of people.
, so many soldiers in Cangzhou did not have enough to eat in recent years, and some even starved to death.
"Cangzhou is really bad and boring!" They only stayed in Cangzhou City for one night, and Yang Jian became a little impatient.
Not to mention soldiers here, even the guards here are very poor. Although the guard wanted to please Yang Jian, he had nothing good to entertain Yang Jian, so Yang Jian was very dissatisfied.
"Ahead is Zhuozhou, which is the boundary of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun! Mr. Yang, when we get there, we Liangshan will treat you well." Zhu Wu said with a smile.
"Okay, then go quickly." Yang Jian said excitedly.
He still remembers Zhu Wu's promise to him that as long as he reaches the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and enters Yanjing City, he will be able to get 30 valuable treasures in the palace! For a money-grubbing eunuch, property is the most important!
The sky was extremely gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow again. They set out from Cangzhou City, and after walking for dozens of miles, they finally arrived at the border between Hebei and Yanyun.
Patrol soldiers from Liangshan can already be seen here. They belong to the Second Army of Hedong and are subordinate to Wu Song.
Liangshan soldiers wore thick clothes and patrolled in the snow. The surroundings were desolate, but these soldiers still looked around with vigilance. These soldiers were all in their twenties, and they were far superior in physical fitness and mental strength.
than the garrison in Cangzhou, the two are not of the same level at all.
As soon as Zhu Wu and others arrived, an alarm sounded immediately. They were not allowed to go until Zhu Wu said his name and handed over his token. But even so, the patrolling soldiers were still worried. There were several patrolling soldiers at the moment.
After reporting this matter, a few patrol soldiers followed them all the way north to prevent any accidents.
Zhu Wu was very satisfied with the soldiers being so vigilant, but Yang Jian was very surprised. He thought that Liangshan was indeed a little different from ordinary grass bandits! The further north, the more soldiers patrolling, and gradually he could see
Hundreds of people patrol together, sometimes
You can also see the Liangshan Military Camp in the wilderness. Further north, you can see villages. Portraits of Wu Dong are hung in ancestral halls and other places in these villages. Yang Jian was surprised when he saw the portraits. All the villages he passed later had
There was a portrait of Wu Dong, so Yang Jian was not surprised.
Just as they were heading to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, Tong Guan, Wanyan Zongfu and others were rushing towards Weizhou.
After arriving in Weizhou, Tong Guan and Wanyan Zongfu did not take a break, but immediately rushed to the residence of Huang Qianshan, the Xuanfu envoy in the northwest.
Huang Qianshan was good at understanding the emperor's heart. He had already learned about what happened in Bianliang and knew that Nv had offended the emperor. He originally did not want to meet Nv, but Tong Guan came with Nv in person, so he had to meet her.
Although he was the northwest propaganda envoy and had a certain control over the northwest army, Tong Guan was a close confidant of the emperor and he could not offend him.
Wanyan Zongfu sat down and looked at Huang Qianshan secretly. He found that Huang Qianshan was only about 40 years old. He looked like a deer-headed man with rat eyes. He really didn't understand why this man became the Xuanfu envoy. In the original history, the Six Thieves
After his death, Huang Qianshan became the most famous minister in the early Southern Song Dynasty. Although he is now the Xuanfu envoy, his fame is still far less than that of Tong Guan and others, and the real woman's knowledge of his information is very limited.
When Wanyan Zongfu stated his purpose, Huang Qianshan immediately frowned and said, "If you want to mobilize military rations, you need His Majesty's imperial edict! Without an imperial edict, I cannot give military rations to you ladies!"
Tong Guan, who was next to him, also frowned and said, "Master Huang, could you please be a little accommodating for my sake? You and I are both in the northwest, and we will have to cooperate in the future. You helped me today, and I will
I’ll help you too.”
Huang Qianshan thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, I can give you some military rations! Third Prince, tell me, how much military rations do you need?"
Wanyan Zongfu was overjoyed and said: "It will take at least 300,000 dan!"
"So many?" Huang Qianshan was shocked.
"Master Huang, can you help me?" Wanyan Zongfu asked anxiously.
Chapter completed!
