Chapter 748

Lin'an Prefecture.

This city is where the Great Song Dynasty traveled, and where news from all over the world gathers. In this city, there are always layers of rippling, bottomless water, and there are always turbulent currents colliding and turning.It is precisely because of this that this city has become the place with the least secrets. The news that was conveyed secretly under the water yesterday will be rolled up to the surface today and spread by everyone.

For example, the situation in the Kingdom of Jin.

Over the past few years, the people of Lin'an have become accustomed to the frequent occurrence of bad things in the Kingdom of Jin, and they look like they are on the verge of collapse.However, the process of such a strong enemy from being strong to weakening, from being weak to two points, and then from two points to being about to draw the winner and return to one, can still bring a lot of talk to the people.

What's more, in the court of the central capital of the Kingdom of Jin, the person who holds power is a Haner?

Ever since Guo Ning became the governor of Dinghai, the people in the field had some comments on him. Later, this person promoted the sudden prosperity of the maritime trade route, which brought changes within reach to the people.

Of course, the common people do not directly deal with sea merchants, but the sudden influx of horses, furs, ginseng and other materials on the market, the prices are much cheaper, which is obviously good for the prosperity of the south, and the common people also enjoy it. .In the past two months, several kinds of felts, which are special products of the Northland, have started to be sold. It is now a hot time, and ordinary people don't care too much, but many shops have discovered the benefits of this product and have begun to stock up.

These are all related to Guo Ning, so it is inevitable to attract people's attention.Afterwards, everyone learned that this person is not just a person who is passionate about sea trade, but also the most capable general and the most ferocious tiger in the Kingdom of Jin.

At that time, the rise of Mongolia, in the eyes of southerners, was roughly similar to Jurchen replacing Khitan.And the ferocity of the Mongols seems to be no less than that of the invincible Jurchen back then.Then there was the Song-Meng alliance between the court and the central government to attack the Kingdom of Jin, but this proposal was immediately reminiscent of the alliance at sea, and the ending of expelling wolves and meeting tigers, so everyone tacitly suppressed it.

But with the rise of Guo Ning in the Kingdom of Jin, the Mongols were beaten back to the grassland, and there was no movement this year.And Guo Ning immediately persuaded Zhongdu, and became Zhou Guogong of the Jin Kingdom, posing a gesture of making progress at any time.

The latest sensational news is that Guo Ning suddenly dispatched an army to swallow up the Kaifeng court.This is definitely big news. Since the day when the news came out, more than ten days have passed, and the enthusiasm of the discussion has never diminished.

There are also new, true or false news coming back all the time, such as how Guo Ning secretly contacted the rest of the Red Coat Army entrenched in the north and south of Mount Tai, for example, how he broke through Xuzhou in one day, and earned Guide with hundreds of riders. Mansion, and then scattered tens of thousands of gold troops outside Guide Mansion.

It is also interesting to say that from the standpoint of the Great Song Dynasty, usurpers cannot be encouraged anyway. Therefore, in the official caliber of the Great Song Dynasty, Guo Ning has not been highly evaluated, and many officials are quite interested in the process of Guo Ning's rise. More criticism, I would rather regard Kaifeng's Jin Dynasty court as orthodox.

But in this way, Guo Ning's image was very good in the eyes of the people in the Southern Dynasties.

Ordinary people can't think of that much, they only feel empathy for the cruelty of the Jurchens.There are still old people in Lin'an City talking about the fear in the local area when Wan Yanliang sent millions of troops to the south in the last years of Shaoxing; The monstrous sea of ​​blood set off by the Jurchens.

Half of the Great Song Dynasty fell into the hands of the Jurchens. Until the Kaixi years, the two families still fought, and the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty were never casualties.Who among the common people does not know that the Kingdom of Jin is the feud of the Great Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years?
Such a terrifying Jurchen, their Central Capital court suddenly lost power?Even a group of people who escaped by chance will be bulldozed in Kaifeng's new imperial court?

Moreover, the one who seized the highest power in the Kingdom of Jin was not the king of the Kingdom of Jin, let alone a tribal leader in northern Xinjiang who wielded military power, but a pawn on the border of the Kingdom of Jin, a Haner!
And when it comes to the senses of Song people, Guo Ning's experience is still familiar.Born in the army, he was extremely brave, made many military exploits, and then he was about to wear a yellow robe... Isn't this the emperor Taizu of this dynasty?

This kind of coincidence makes people feel that it is a bit of fantasy, and people can't help talking about it.Many people talked about Guo Ning's deeds, and they felt a little proud of their glory. It seemed that the Northern Han who had been classified as a different ethnicity by them had long been integrated with the Song people of the Southern Dynasty.

Of course, many people can't understand the reason, and they can't believe such a story.Until now, when the northern military situation was reported one by one, everyone was sure that Zhou Guogong Guo Ning was approaching the city of Kaifeng.

During this period of time, many people came to Lin'an from coastal ports and various places in Huainan, and they also brought all kinds of news about the north, so that the artists in the talking book in Washe Goulan talked about the usual ZTE famous generals In the biography or announcement of the legacy, I will also talk about the Zhou Guogong in the north, and casually interpret a story about him killing the Jurchens in the north.

In fact, Guo Ning really didn't kill the Jurchen very much, but the people of the Song Dynasty loved to hear it.Anyway, most of the storytellers are making up stories, and occasionally a few of them have obtained the popular courtyard books in Shandong, and the stories are more exciting. The artists make a lot of money, and the listeners are smiling and happy.

This kind of situation has happened every day recently. When it comes to war or peace with the Kingdom of Jin, the people are at a loss, but when it comes to the end of the Kingdom of Jin, a man is leading an army of hundreds of thousands to Kaifeng. One can reject such a story.

In the past two days, there has been a new trend among the people. Many people think that this dynasty should join forces with Guo Ning to destroy the Kingdom of Jin.The people who proposed it were plausible, saying that soldiers from Jingxi Road could reach Nanyang and Ye County if they went north, and soldiers from Sichuan and Shanxi should reach Tianfu in Guanzhong.

At the same time, the imperial court fell into silence, and the situation was quite embarrassing.

The wars in Huainan, West Beijing and other places are still going on. That's because the two sides fought stalemate before, and the armies and ministries were intertwined.For any party to cease fighting, the other party must believe in sincerity.

But as far as the court itself is concerned, this battle was originally the result of the Kaifeng court being deceived by the central capital. It should not be fought, and there is no need to continue it.

What Song Dynasty wanted to see were two weak and confronting Jin Kingdoms, which is why there were various operations in finance and business in the past year.

Da Song can also accept a strong Jin country, which has been the norm for the past hundred years, humiliation and pain are inevitable, but you will get used to it if you endure it.

No matter what the state of Jin is, no matter what the Jurchens are, they are all Hulu.In other words, under the threat of Jin, Song Dynasty is still orthodox and safe.

But Da Song couldn't accept a Haner regime to replace Jin Guo no matter what!
From the day when Guo Ning took control of Zhongdu, the officials and literati of the Song Dynasty were happy that Jurchen was weak, but their vigilance towards Guo Ning and his Dinghai regime had gradually sprouted.If it weren't for the fact that the interests of maritime trade were too great and involved too many people, some people would have publicly expressed their opinions on this.

But this time, Ding Haijun obviously deceived everyone. They cried poorly, took the money and grain they got from Song Dynasty, and waited for the soldiers and horses of Song Dynasty to fight with the Kaifeng Jin army, and then suddenly launched a thunderous blow... The officials of the Song Dynasty were both vigilant and afraid of this.

What's more, the man's surname is Guo, and the official position he arranged for himself is called Zhou Guogong!What does this represent? Anyone who is a scholar doesn't understand?
Everyone thought, if this person easily wiped out the Kaifeng court, would the next step be to attack the Song Dynasty, come to the West Lake with a million troops, and immediately go to the first peak of Wushan?
