The meeting halls of the Shaanxi General Office in Jingzhao Prefecture City were full of senior officials wearing purple and scarlet colors, mostly military officials, and a few were civil servants. However, it was impossible to distinguish from the official uniforms. The civil servants in the Northern Song Dynasty were exactly the same. However, depending on their actions, they could still distinguish between civil servants and military officials.

Because the world of the Song Dynasty has been in chaos recently, when the troubled times come, the warriors will naturally be proud of their tails!

So today, the martial artists gathered in the Shaanxi Branch are not as calm and complacent as before. When they speak, they speak loudly, and they talk loudly, and from time to time, a bunch of dirty words pop out of their mouths.

These fighting men in Shaanxi are not like the gentle and gentle Bianliang military men. They are located in the border and have frequent wars. No matter what their origins are, even if they are children from aristocratic families, they have been well-read in poetry and books since childhood, and they will be infected with a bold and unruly habit because they are with a group of vulgar military men every year.

Now that the Song Dynasty is about to end, and the kind of family generals who have been pressing on them in the past, the Yao family generals, and the Liu family generals have suffered heavy losses on the battlefield of Wannian Xindi! If the Song Dynasty wants to prosper, it will have to rely on the small and medium-sized generals who are second and third-rate in the past to contribute.

It’s so comfortable to think about it, how can your voice be small?

The Western Army began to flourish during the reign of Emperor Renzong, and has been around for more than a hundred years. How many people have emerged during this period? How many generals have emerged? But the Western Army has only a little bit of oil and water... There are so many wolves and fewer meat! And we have to grow families, so the Yao family and the Liu family wolf eat first! The rest of the families can only drool on the side.

Now it's good, the battle is getting bigger and bigger, and the situation is getting more and more chaotic... Not only do you want to resist the Jin Dynasty, but you also have to stare at the Western thieves in the west. I heard that the Hedong and Hebei soldiers and horses, Prince Yun, Prince Zhao Kai, did not stop calming down. He has a self-respecting force in Hedong and openly separatist - When did the Song Dynasty have such a prince? It's just a matter of dying! It would be fine if the late emperor was pampered with him when he was there, but now the late emperor is gone, so he must have to be attacked by a large army!

These Western generals all know that fighting requires money! Before the three armies move, the animals come first! Before the troops go on the battlefield, rewards are prepared first... There is no need to wait until the two armies confront each other, and various items are already coming!

If you are lucky, you will win a battle or you can make a small defeat a victory, and you will have to add extra money!

After carefully calculating the benefits of various sects, can these generals not feel happy?

The Shaanxi Transport Department Chief Justice Wang Shu, a member of the Shaanxi Transport Department, also a 60-year-old official from Sichuan and was about to go to Cizhou to take office, was also frowning at the group of military officers with their tails in the meeting hall of the General Office of the General Office, without saying a word.

The two of them are quite different in age and have very different experiences in officialdom. Wang Shu was very happy in the officialdom, and because of his familiarity with military books, he became the eyes of the Daozhu Li Bangyan. Now he has become the position of the general commander of Shaanxi Caoshu. He is also highly appreciated by Qian Gai, the commander of the general and general. He often discusses military affairs with him, and sometimes even stays all night long... If he continues to develop along this route, he will become the general and general in a few years.

Zong Ze's official career was bumpy. He was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Yuanyou. He had been in the officialdom for more than 30 years, but he had been in the position of county magistrate. He was only a magistrate in the fifth year of Zhenghe. He was probably disappointed when he was in the first year of Xuanhe. Zong Ze, who was 60 years old, begged to retire and return home, but he was promoted to the position of Hongqing Temple.

I thought I could retire safely, but somehow I was sued for the Taoist Emperor who despised Taoism and was furious by Long Yan and was sent to Zhenjiang for escorts. Later, he encountered a general amnesty and was released to become an official again. He was originally going home to farm, but he had to arrest him for escorts. After two years of management, he became an official again!

I really don’t know what kind of confusing thing Zhao Ji did?

Anyway, Zong Ze, who originally wanted to retire and retire, had to continue to be an official, and the official became bigger and bigger... First, he was a magistrate of Bazhou, and in the early eighth year of Xuanhe, he got a Zong Zheng Shaoqing, but before he could take office, he was surrounded. So Zong Ze stayed in Jingzhao Prefecture, and came to the shogunate who was appointed as the general manager of Shaanxi, and gave him advice.

After arriving at Kaifeng Prefecture, Zong Ze encountered another strange official fortune. Hebei Marshal Yun, Prince Zhao Kai, who had no connection with him, suddenly recommended him to be the chief of the Cizhou affairs and the military commander, and promoted the camp... The power of the state was handed over to him like this!

Qian Gai, Wang Shu and others who received the news all doubted that Zong Ze and Zhao Kai had any special relationship!

After fleeing to Yingtian Prefecture to ascend the throne, Zhao Huan also approved Zhao Kai's memorial to recommend Zong Ze. At that time, in order to stabilize Zhao Kai, Zhao Huan was "accurate" in everything he asked by the Hebei Supervisor. Therefore, by chance, Zong Ze became an official under Zhao Kai's command!

However, before Zong Ze could take office, news came from Hedong that Zhao Kai was rebelling... Zong Ze was really embarrassed now. Which official is he considered?

Just as Zong Ze was seriously thinking about which end he was, footsteps came from behind the screen, and then he heard the reputation of singing.

"The general commander of Shaanxi Province and the compassionate envoy of Yongxing Army Road arrived!"

Zong Ze and Wang Shu glanced at each other and stood up quickly. A group of Western Army generals who were talking loudly had to stop talking with a smile, and then stood in a big manner according to their rank. As soon as they stood, they saw Qian Gai, who was about to be 70, shaking out. Following him was Fan Zhixu, a younger Yongxing Army Road Pacifier and the knowledge of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Both old men were a little listless. Looking at the eager faces below, they didn't know what to say.

Because they had already arranged to serve the king once before, they collected more than 100,000 soldiers from the six routes of Shaanxi to ask Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu and others took them to Kaifeng Mansion... Now it seems that meat buns beat dogs!

This is actually not the most trouble... Because the martial arts trend in Shaanxi is very prosperous, the Western Army has been prosperous for more than a hundred years. I don’t know how many people in Shaanxi can become officials by taking the path of becoming a military and making meritorious service, opening the general's door, and becoming a wealthy family!

In terms of this huge wealth effect, making meritorious service in the army has surpassed the imperial examination (Shaanxi scholars are not at high level, but they cannot rely on the group of academic masters in the southeast), and has become the first choice for Shaanxi men to make progress.

Therefore, there are not many imperial examination families in Shaanxi, but there are all martial arts camps everywhere... I was killed in battle, and there are sons! My brothers are gone, and there are brothers. In addition to the regular imperial guards, there are also a large number of camp archers (at least more than 100,000). This is a place to be a soldier. As long as the field is still there, you can find Shaanxi heroes who are willing to join the army... So it is very easy to replenish troops in Shaanxi.

But when Fan Zhixu was embarrassed by the fact that they had no money in their pockets!

Shaanxi has soldiers but no money!

As the climate in Shaanxi becomes increasingly drought, the Silk Road is no longer as prosperous as before for various reasons. Therefore, Shaanxi has become increasingly poor since the middle and late Tang Dynasty...

Although Shaanxi has gathered strong soldiers from all over the world, it has no wealth to raise soldiers!

During the more than a hundred years of the Western Army's rise, the Song Dynasty's imperial court transported a large amount of money, grain, silk and silk from the Central Plains, Jiangnan and Sichuan every year.

However, since the Jin thieves invaded, the wealth, money and food from the Central Plains and Jiangnan have not been to Shaanxi, and only Sichuan has continued to transfusion blood to Shaanxi.

But that little Shu brocade is really not enough!

So when the last time the army was called to serve the king, the Shaanxi Transportation Commission's foundation was emptied... Now that the war has been defeated, there are definitely not few people who are killed in battle and are disabled. I don't know where to get the pension money?

Now Zhao Kai is back again...

Of course, you can’t tell the empty treasury to the people below!

Thinking of this, Qian Gai coughed and smiled faintly at the generals under his command: "Just just received the news from Hedong, the former Hebei Marshal of the Army and Horses, Zhao Kai, the Prince of Yun, really rebelled! He proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan Prefecture, Hedong on June 16th... It was so crazy!"

"It's lawless!" Fan Zhixu also spoke, "Since the founding of this dynasty, has there ever been such a bold prince?"

Hearing Qian Gai and Fan Zhixu's words, the expressions on the faces of the Western Army generals present were even more excited!

Because they already understood that this time the enemy was not the terrible Jin thief, but Zhao Kai who was seizing Hedong!

Although they also knew that Zhao Kai defeated the Jin thieves at Niangzi Pass and also lifted the siege of Taiyuan... it was much safer to beat Zhao Kai than to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to fight the Jin thieves.

Kaifeng Mansion is simply an unsolvable death!

The Wannian Dam cannot be destroyed at all... If the Wannian Dam cannot be destroyed, Kaifeng Prefecture will be flooded at any time!

Moreover, if the Jin thieves were under the Jiudun Dam, the main force of the Jin thieves would inevitably be attracted, so if the battle in the dam was not fought, it would be a battle between the Song and Jin armies once it was fought.

The main force of the Song and Jin armies fought on the edge of the Yellow River... The Song army must have lost undoubtedly!

In contrast, it is much easier to hit Hedong!

It doesn’t matter if it’s hard to fight Taiyuan, just fight slowly... As long as the court has enough money, everyone is confident to regard Zhao Kai as a thief in the West and Taiyuan Prefecture as Xingqing Prefecture!

Even if it lasts for a hundred years, it will be fine if the descendants continue to fight!

Thinking of this, the generals patted their chests and expressed their opinions one after another.

"The general manager, the commander, don't worry, you two are here. With our Western Army men, it's easy to get Taiyuan!"

"Yes, that guy Zhao Kai is so crazy... He dares to be emperor! You can order it. The last general immediately ignites the army and kills Taiyuan, and capture him, the anti-king!"

"The general general, general envoy, Zhao Kai rebelled, and the whole world will punish him! You two will give orders!"

Qian Gai saw that all the generals below were eager to try, and finally felt relieved. He nodded and said, "You are indeed the pillars of the country... With you here, Zhao Kai will definitely not be able to seize Shaanxi!"

Take Shaanxi?

What's going on?
