Gongsun Sheng looked pale and said: "Hundreds of thousands of innocent people! Song Langjun, think of a way... think of a way..."
Song Wen helped Gongsun Sheng up and whispered: "Taoist Master... you have begged me so many times, but the Beidi Dao Sect also keeps aloof from this matter? The influence of the Dao Sect on the Dao Lord and Emperor is great.
Xiao...could it be that Taoism's compassion is so fragile in the face of the interests of the imperial power?"
Gongsun Sheng shook his head... "The Taoist sect is quiet and inactive. I don't want to have much to do with the emperor..."
Song Wen sighed: "Taoist Priest, there is nothing Song Wen can do to help... The matter in Jiangnan has actually been settled, and Fang La is just a withered skeleton in a tomb! Once Tong Guan accumulates enough military exploits in Jiangnan, he will be conferred by the emperor again... He is left with
There is only one thing that can satisfy Xia's desire! That is to lead troops north to recapture Yanyun, and then he can be crowned king according to Emperor Taizong's decree... When the Liao Kingdom was strong, he would not dare to do this even if he was killed, he would only dare to consume
The Western Army owes its foundation to the extremely poor Dangxiang people. But now, with corpses killed by the Liao and Jurchens strewn across the fields, they are retreating steadily. The imperial court has long made an agreement with Tong Guan and the Jurchens... I am afraid that Tong Guan will lead the army.
It’s not far away to go north to tear up the agreement with the Liao people and conquer the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun!”
Gongsun Sheng was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Song Langjun is working hard to run the military stronghold. Could it be said that he wants to make contributions in the war of the imperial court to regain Yanyun?"
Song Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Recapture Yanyun? Taoist Gongsun...you think too highly of the court and Tong Guan! With the strength and army of the Song Dynasty, you still want to take advantage of the Liao people? Do you really think that the Jurchens can ride on the Liao people?"
Can the Song Dynasty be beaten by people?"
Gongsun Sheng looked pale and said: "Now the land of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is in ruins... I don't know how many years it will take to recover after the Fang La uprising is put down! Once the northern troops fail, the consequences will be disastrous..."
Song Wen nodded: "The Taoist priest has always wanted to alert the court and do some good deeds for the people of the world... But I don't know that the disaster in this world has been doomed for a long time! The Taoist sect has never supported the Taoist priest's efforts, and I am afraid that some experts have seen through it early.
Regarding the imperial court’s context and the way forward, let alone Taoist leader... the entire Taoist sect may feel helpless against the chaos of swords and soldiers..."
Gongsun Sheng nodded: "No wonder, no wonder my master closed his eyes and said nothing about my coming down the mountain... No wonder Erxian Mountain closed its gate and hid in the world, and even had no intention to perform Zhai Qiao rituals in Bianliang, the capital... No wonder... Could it be that this
Will the people of the world be trapped in a catastrophic military disaster again and unable to struggle?"
Song Wen sighed and nodded: "The treacherous eunuchs are in power, and the civil servants are fighting endlessly... The generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are oppressed! But this treacherous eunuch is also ambitious and wants to gain the king's title and gain the huge wealth! The most important thing is that the Emperor of Zhao Song Dynasty
He is extremely extravagant, hypocritical and mean, but he also wants the reputation of an eternal sage... Who do you think can turn the tide? Relying on a few loyal ministers who still look down on warriors?"
Gongsun Sheng's face turned pale and he shook his head... "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to save him!"
Song Wen smiled and said: "That's why I have been working hard to accumulate strength and try to build fortresses in remote places such as Dengzhou and Daqingshan that can allow more people to avoid disasters... Once the imperial court collapses, I can still try to unite some dissidents.
The people who are willing to be massacred and persecuted should raise an army to give them some power to protect themselves!"
Gongsun Sheng nodded: "Only now do I understand Song Langjun's painstaking efforts..."
"Oh, Taoist Master, you have worked hard. However, now the imperial court has long been corrupted, and the Jiangnan nobles have evil intentions! We and other ignorant people in the world...can't do anything!"
Song Wen and his party headed straight for Yangzhou with the lost Gongsun Sheng.
Off the coast of Yangzhou, our ships from Sanxian Island have been waiting for a long time.
Song Wen has never had any illusions about the land south of the Yangtze River... What is Jiangnan? Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the people moved south, and then in the Southern Tang Dynasty, scholars from aristocratic families who fled the war rushed to migrate to the south of the Yangtze River... This place has long been populated by gentry.
A tangled nest.
Are Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi mean to Jiangnan? In fact, they are really mean... From Zhao Kuangyin insisting on destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty, to Zhao Guangyi taking action... Capturing the Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wenqing went to Beijing to be humiliated, and they also wanted to seize love by force.
The empress Xiao Zhou who insulted Empress Li... and then made Empress Li drink and die violently on the Chinese Valentine's Day birthday!
The Emperor Zhao and Song could be said to be very harsh on the Jiangnan nobles...
But what is the greatest skill of these Jiangnan gentry? It is to remain low-key, to serve the group selfishly, and to use their tactics and reputation to subtly influence the situation!
After several generations of emperors came down, Jiangnan unsurprisingly became a place where the civil servants and nobles of the Song Dynasty gathered, and it was a place rich in food, silk and tea... Did Song Huizong Zhao Ji know? He must know that, not only did he know that he was the Song Dynasty
Their wealth and money bags were held in the hands of Jiangnan, and they also knew that these people had not much recognition of the orthodoxy of the Central Plains dynasty from generation to generation!
Whether it was Hua Shi Gang or the Jiangnan Yingfeng Bureau where the emperor's confidants and powerful ministers were in charge, it might not be a means for Zhao Ji to strengthen his imperial control over Jiangnan...
Song Wen knew this very clearly, and he was afraid even Gongsun Sheng would be able to detect it!
Now the imperial court's Western Army, led by Tong Guan, raised a butcher's knife against the Jiangnan people who followed Fang La in the uprising... Could it be that Tong Guan was venting his anger on the emperor? Without a butcher's knife, he completely suppressed the centrifugalism of the Jiangnan people and the gentry behind them, and the emperor and the imperial power of the Central Plains
How can you be willing to rest assured?
Song Wen clearly remembered that after the Fang La uprising, the imperial garrison in the south of the Yangtze River faced tens of thousands of Fang La Mani's soldiers who had no armor or equipment at all. A group of rebellious peasants with no fighting experience were almost at a loss!
And dozens of county guards and magistrates sent by the imperial court to govern Jiangnan were actually killed by these Manichae religious troops... What were the Xiang army and the imperial guards in Jiangnan doing? Could these farmers and craftsmen really be blessed by Mani?
Invincible?
How many Jiangnan gentry and powerful families like the Li family of Jinling are instigating and secretly supporting behind the scenes, and how many imperial officers with Jiangnan background are secretly letting go? Just sit back and watch the jokes of the Central Plains court and Emperor Zhao and Song Dynasty?
The selfish and narrow concept of regionalism has made Jiangnan, a land of plenty and wealth, a place of great importance to the imperial court in all dynasties. Many dynasties have flourished in Jiangnan... It can be said that through the ages, no dynasty has been able to take root and be prosperous.
Jiangnan unified the world and established a real dynasty!
Because of the narrow regional concept of these nobles, they are essentially selfish and seeking power for their own benefit. They do not hesitate to plot against fellow tribesmen and betray their knees in order to fight for power for their own selfish interests. However, they have never had the courage to fight wholeheartedly with foreign tribes in a bitter cold land...
Song Wen looked down on the land of Jiangnan, and thought he could not defeat the intricate gentry forces in the land of Jiangnan. So I simply did not worry about that and started scheming with these scumbags in Jiangnan... Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were pure warriors who served the country.
It is extremely shameless to be plotted to death by them!
With the Southern Song Dynasty court and a group of Jiangnan scholars struggling to survive, Song Wen would rather cross the ocean to find an island in Nanyang and become a savage, which would be more carefree and happy...
