The news that Zhao Gou was about to die and was still holding the imperial examination in Pizhou City was of course not hidden from Zhao Kai, who was far away in Shuntian Prefecture City.

Zhao Kai now has the North and South Defense Department and the Privy Council intelligence room. Before, the main energy of these secret agencies was all focused on Hebei and Yanyun. Now these places have been recovered, and the military operation to pacify Liaodong and attack Huanglong cannot be started in a short period of time. Therefore, the pseudo-Song and Southern Song became the main targets of their spy activities.

The news from the three lines of the North and South Pacific Office and the Privy Council intelligence room summarized by Zhao Kai, all of which showed that Zhao Gou, who was a pseudo-Song official in Chenqiao Pavilion, was not at all dying. He did not know how to train troops and prepare for war, nor did he know how to unite with Zhao Huan of the Southern Song Dynasty to save his life, nor did he know how to send envoys to Shuntian beg for mercy and live a secret life. Instead, he was busy envoys to recruit scholars, and he also used the banner of "restore the ancestors to control martial arts with literature and martial arts, and captured the hearts of the literati and scholars in the world", and he also talked about nonsense that "those who win the hearts of scholars and wives will win the world". Zhao Kai was confused and thought that Zhao Gou, the founding king of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, was taken over by a nerd!

However, Zhao Kai later asked Zhao Gou's cousin Yelu Yuliyan, and finally figured out the situation... Whether it was Zhao Gou or Wanyan Zonggou, he had never really held military power. The army in Guidezhen has always been under the firm control of Wanyan Wu Qimai's youngest daughter Wanyan Yan!

Therefore, he could not do the work of scheming military and martial arts at all, so he could only organize the imperial examinations and then play the family law of organizing the military with literature and martial arts.

Maybe I just want to be dying, right?

The reason why Wanyan Yan was able to control the power of Guide Army was because of the support of Wu Qimai and fourteen brothers; secondly, she was because she brought a Feng'an Jurchen, and the Bohai people married Zhao Gou; thirdly, after Zhao Gou "lost his power", this woman had sex with Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, and Liu Lin and others and became a traitor... This matter is known to everyone in the high-level officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Yelu Yuliyan is of course no exception.

In addition, Wanyan Yan's ability to control the army is indeed far more than Zhao Gou. She can be with big army leaders like Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin. "When you eat, you will be at the same table, and when you sleep, you will be at the same bed"!

Not to mention that Zhao Gou can't do this, Zhao Kai will only do half of it at most - there is no problem with his meals. At this moment, he was in an octagonal welcoming and delivery pavilion outside the southern gate of Shuntian Prefecture in Beijing, and practiced it for Yue Fei, Qu Duan, Liu Zhengyan, Miao Fu, Zhao Zhen and others (Niu Gao was the pioneer and had already entered the pseudo-Song territory)!

As for the bedding, I really haven't done it before!

But Wanyan Yan can do it! He is really a hero among women, right?

"Pengju, Wanyan Zonggou's thief was really out of the way. When has it been? He was still in Pizhou City to organize imperial examinations... This time, he and the corrupt officials around him could not be let go!"

Zhao Kai, who was giving Yue Fei a face-to-face teaching, looked murderous and called Zhao Gou "Wanyan Zonggou".

This name is not a random call, and it is not convenient to kill it if you call it Zhao Gou... Brothers and brothers in the Song Dynasty are respectful! Zhao Kai also wanted to use a small king of Wu Yue to persuade Zhao Huan to surrender to Jiangnan and take all of them! How could he kill Zhao Gou, the brother?

But it's okay to call Wanyan Zonggou. He recognized the thief as his father first, and even wanted the surname of his ancestors. Of course, Zhao Kai and others would not recognize this brother anymore. Since they were not brothers, they could kill them.

However, Zhao Gou was not the only valuable target in Pizhou City... The civil servants around Zhao Gou, as well as scholars who gathered from various prefectures in the pseudo-Song Dynasty, came to Pizhou to take the imperial examinations. They were said to be very fat!

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Jingdong Road has been in the fall of many years. Now most of the civil officials around Zhao Gou are in Ziqing, the Jin thief. The two towns of Guide have been officials for many years. They have plundered the wealth of the Jin thieves, and they have made a fortune themselves. Some of them are rich businessmen, rich and rich!

Now that the country is difficult to use, many of the government soldiers who moved to Hebei, Beijing, and Datong also need money, so they cannot let go of these traitors who sell their country and seek honor, and they are arrested, tortured, chased and forced the robbers, and obtained money. They will divide one-third of the government soldiers who have no official positions. You who have officials will divide one-third of the government soldiers, and the court will also take one-third of the government!"

Zhao Kai can't throw away Li Zicheng's script now... It's so poor that even the military pay cannot be paid.

This time, the government soldiers under the jurisdiction of Zhao Gou's four armies who followed Yue Fei and others to fight south did not receive the military pay from last year. Zhao Kai's government soldiers would have to work for four months a year. If they still serve in the remaining eight months, they would have to pay a "Long March salary" depending on the level, which was about half of the number of officers and soldiers of the same level in the Southern Song Dynasty.

He couldn't get this little money!

However, the soldiers under his command were also very conscious! Everyone knew that Zhao Kai, the official family was poor, and he didn't want military pay, just wanted to help Zhao Kai beat Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou - this shows how hated Zhao Huan was!

Because they didn't want money and just wanted to fight, Zhao Kai had to let the people below draw lots. He drew the "pay" sign and took the money home crying. When he drew the "pay" sign, he happily continued to be a "small laborer" and fought for the Zhao family for free.

Of course, the Zhao family may not pay any wages, but the spoils must be distributed to them... The way of sharing has been agreed long ago. If you grab it on the battlefield, the court will not share the accounts, and the people below will be divided by the officers and soldiers. The money in the treasury is all from the court, and the people below cannot be taken. Every time you pass by a town, you can ask for a "reward", and the money is also shared by the officers and soldiers.

However, the above are all small heads, and the real big head is the group of corrupt officials under Zhao Gou!

The territory ruled by Zhao Gou was mainly Jingdong East Road, Jingdong East Road in the Song Dynasty... Jingdong! You can tell that you are rich by looking at the name!

During the Song Dynasty, China's economic center had not yet completely moved to the south, and the north was still very rich.

Among these three places, Jingxi Road was going downhill before the Xuanhe crisis. Jingxi Road was originally mainly supported by consumption, while Jingdong Road was the place where production was most prosperous.

Although the East and West Jing Road was flooded by the Yellow River and its vitality was severely damaged, under the management of Zhao Gou and Wanyan Yan, the sea trade in Haizhou (Haizhou does not actually belong to Jingdong) has developed rapidly in recent years. It has made up for some losses caused by the flooding of Xuzhou and Songzhou.

Jingdong East Road was not affected by the flood, and the losses suffered in the Jin and Song war were relatively small. Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan was evacuated in a hurry and had no time to plunder, so he is still a relatively fat land now.

Most of the traitors and corrupt officials who had been with Wanyan Zonghan for several years turned to Zhao Gou - they wanted to go to Rome to be the senate and consul, but Wanyan Xibao would not charge them either! They could not fight, and they could not help collect taxes from the Romans. Isn’t it a burden to take them with them?

The largest group of traitors and corrupt officials are now all in Pizhou!

"I remember everything that the official told me!" Yue Fei nodded repeatedly, looking like he gritted his teeth - Yue Fei hates traitors the most!

Yue Fei said again: "I will lead the elite cavalry to bypass the cities along the way and go straight to Pizhou. I will definitely surrounded Wanyan Zonggou and other thieves and catch them all in one go!"

Since he obtained the former land of Xixia and opened up contact with Yelu Dashi, Zhao Kai's cavalry is becoming more and more powerful! Among his 600,000 military households, about 20% are cavalry households, and in theory, 120,000 cavalry can be mobilized - this "cavalry" is not one person and one cavalry, but a combat unit. For light cavalry, it is usually a two horse, and for red scarf cavalry, it is a two-person and four-horse configuration.

Among the four armies led by Yue Fei, there were four generals of the established cavalry, with a total of 8,000 cavalry (including about 12,000 auxiliary soldiers, more than 20,000 war horses, and more than 20,000 auxiliary horses). There was also a newly established camel cannon camp with hundreds of camel cannons to use.

With such strong strength, of course I am not afraid of Zhao Gou and Wanyan Yan's broken army!

"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded and praised, "Pengju is indeed a good thing... But I heard that Pizhou City is extremely solid. If it is difficult to attack for a while, I will surround it first and wait for the army to arrive."

Yue Fei focused heavily: "I know!"

Zhao Kai said again: "And... Wanyan Zonggou is holding the imperial examination these days. These candidates who should be falsely elected must be treacherous and must not be let go. They will all be arrested and let the tutoring department examine them one by one. They must not let go of a treacherous person!"

Yue Fei, Qu Duan, Liu Zhengyan, Miao Fu, Zhao Zhen and other five nodded repeatedly.

Of course you can't let it go!

How could there be good people who can study and practice books and take the imperial examinations in today's chaotic times, under the iron hoofs of the Jin people, and have financial resources to study and study, and also come to take the imperial examinations?

They must pay for their sins!

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Okay, then go and go back quickly, I am waiting for your good news!"

Of course, I'm waiting to share the accounts...

......

At this time, Zhao Gou didn't know that Yue Fei, Niu Gao, Qu Duan, Liu Zhengyan, Miao Fu, Zhao Zhen and others had already led a large army to come with murderous aura.

Because of the exchanges between Lin'an Prefecture City and the outside world, Wanyan Yan, who was in Chenqiaobao, was completely controlled. The memorials and military newspapers sent to him were filtered or even customized.

All are reassuring news!

What is the reason why Yue Fei's army besieged Jinan Prefecture!

What is the Yellow River near Kaifeng Prefecture that broke again... The flood flooded Kaifeng horse farm.

What Zhao Huan's navy blocked the Jingjiang shipping, so the rice, grain and silk in Sichuan could not be transported north... Zhao Kai had already sent Han Shizhong to lead his troops south.

There are also the Great Jin heavenly soldiers attacking Goryeo, which is unstoppable and invincible - this is real news! After the Great Jin Kingdom sent Wu Qimai, they immediately attacked Goryeo. Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Liang, who had just ascended the throne, personally sent 100,000 troops to attack Goryeo!

In short, the situation is still possible now, and the pseudo-Song Jiangshan will not be finished for a while.
Chapter completed!
