Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"How can I appease my anger now!"

"Your Majesty, the Song army obviously came here in a hurry. How much food can they bring?" Tang Kuobian immediately said calmly, "There are still three months' worth of food in Shangjing. If we save a little, we can eat it for four months. Searching everywhere outside the city, can you find food and grass for four months?"

Wan Yanliang calmed down after hearing this.

Tang Kuobian continued: "Besides, Wanyan Zongmin's [-] soldiers are still outside. If the Song army really wants to fight, they will fight with Wanyan Zongmin first. Isn't this just what His Majesty wants?"

In the end, Tang Kuo argued: "How much food the Song army has seized outside the city is full of variables. Let's just wait and see."

"According to what you said!" Wan Yanliang said happily.

Sure enough, just after inspecting the army, Wan Yanliang received an urgent letter from Wan Yan Zongmin.

In this letter, Wanyan Zongmin's wording was very appropriate, he regarded himself as a courtier, full of respect for Wanyan Liang, the new emperor, and expressed his absolute loyalty.

In the end, he named the purpose, and hoped that His Majesty would send troops to Changchun Prefecture to hunt down the thieves together.

After reading it, Wanyanliang realized that Wanyan Zongmin must have known that the Song army would burn down the granary in Ningfu.

This made Wanyan Zongmin lose the follow-up supply of food and grass, and instead became the first target of the Song army.

Otherwise, with Wanyan Zongmin's identity, he would never have written such a humble letter.

On the [-]th, Zhang Jiefu and Wan Yanchang returned to Changchun Prefecture to return to their orders.

"The four granaries in Huining Mansion were burned down by us, and we brought back a month's worth of grain." Zhang Jiefu said, "Huining Mansion is different from my state capital in the Song Dynasty. There are not many counties and villages under it. .”

According to the population ratio, Kaifeng Prefecture now has nearly 300 million people, while Huining Prefecture in the Kingdom of Jin has only 10,000+ people.

This is the result of filling in after the Jin people plundered the Liao people and Song people at the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, otherwise there would be fewer people.

However, in fact, the population of Huining Mansion had reached 40 million before. When Jin Wushu implemented the restructuring, in order to hold power, the population of Huining Mansion was weakened.

The population of Ning Mansion will be transferred to Xijin Mansion centered on Yanjing.

Jin Wushu never expected that Huining Mansion would face such an embarrassing situation one day.

No one means insufficient resources, and insufficient resources will not be able to fight a protracted war.

"The food in Shangjing can support them for three months. Wan Yanliang must think that our army's food and grass are not enough." Wan Yanchang said, "The next step, we will attack Wanyan Zongmin. Wanyan Zongmin has [-] troops. Where is he Although the food is not enough, it is definitely a lot, if you defeat him, you can cut off some food and grass, plus the food from Changchun Prefecture, it will be enough for our army for four to five months!"

"After beating Yan Zongmin, Wanyan Liang will definitely attack and attack our army with Wanyan Zongmin!"

"Don't worry, Wanyan Liang won't make a move." Wanyan Chang laughed, and he laughed happily, "Wanyan Zongmin is a Wushu person, Wanyan Liang wishes for him to die immediately!"

Zhang Jiefu and Yang Zaixing looked at each other.

"Wan Yanliang can surprise our army after our army defeats Yan Zongmin." Zhang Jiefu pondered, "So if we want to fight this battle, we must use ingenious skills. I have a plan, but it is extremely risky for our army. big."

"How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair!" Yang Zaixing said, "Just tell me!"

Chapter 1410 Main Battlefield (First Update)

On November [-]th, as soon as Zhao Guanjia's royal driver arrived at Hejian Mansion, the news had already spread.

It's not that ordinary people like to chew their tongues when they have nothing to do. In fact, in Hejian Mansion at this time, ordinary people have already moved south.

Those who stayed were all the soldiers and civilians in the military town, and a considerable number of Yandi refugees who continued to go south.

The news was spread by Zhao Ning. Not only Hejian Mansion, but also Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Cangzhou already knew that Sheng Jia was coming.

Even the ordinary people in the village were curiously discussing where Zhao Guan's family lived after they arrived in Hejian Mansion, and what were their three meals a day?

The tools used to dig ice to fetch water from the river must be made of gold, right?

I wonder if the excrement smells more fragrant than flowers?

It is said that many people quietly followed the guards' travel trails all the way north in order to watch.

There are also people who want to pick up some objects abandoned by the army along the way.

Of course, those who went to the south of Hejian Mansion could not go any further because they arrived at the military jurisdiction.

Naturally, it wasn't just the folks who were more lively, the officials and officials of Hejian Mansion couldn't sleep anymore.

While stepping up their work arrangements, they were worried about being reported by someone with a heart under the eyes of the emperor, and wondered whether they would have the opportunity to meet the officials, and their work would be praised by the officials.

At least one can climb from a magistrate to the prefect or magistrate.

In any case, the arrival of Zhao Guan's family made the atmosphere a little different.

Whether it's curiosity, excitement, or worry, all kinds of emotions have at least relatively eased the tension of the war.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Guan's family came down from the imperial chariot.

The biting cold wind rushed towards him, but Zhao Ning didn't dodge it.

In the pampered environment of the deep palace all the year round, it is easy for people to forget the danger. In addition, the development of Song Dynasty has been on the right track in recent years, and it is becoming stronger and stronger.

The mentality is also slack.

Until this time, I went to this border land where the Song and Jin Dynasties meet again, and felt the biting chill.

This kind of severe cold, on the contrary, made him calmer, and his mood became more stable.

He took Zhao Yu and walked forward.

On both sides are the Guards Brigade in armor. Each of them is more than 1.8 meters tall and looks like a tall and mighty iron man, with a dignified look, looking ahead.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Huaiji shouted in a thin voice.

A tsunami-like voice sounded from all around: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

The sound was so loud that even the soldiers and civilians in the surrounding villages who were preparing rations could hear it.

Some officials who were busy turned their surprised and envious eyes to this side, looked at the city in the wind and snow, and said excitedly: "The official is here!"

Zhao Ning raised his hand, and his voice gradually sank.

He took Zhao Yu all the way to the front gate of the city, and officials and generals came up to pay homage.

"No courtesy." Zhao Ning raised his hand and said, "The weather is very cold, so quickly set up camp to make fire."

"Yes!"

After Zhao Guan's family entered the city and arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhang Zhiqiu, the magistrate of Hejian Prefecture, suddenly boldly shouted: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

All eyes turned to Zhang Zhiqiu.

Lu Yihao asked: "Zhang Xingzhi, Your Majesty is exhausted. If you have something to say, we will talk about it another day."

"Lu Xianggong..." Zhang Zhiqiu insisted.

"But it doesn't matter." Zhao Ning said.

Only then did Zhang Zhiqiu say: "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, and the imperial chariot came in person, and all the people rejoiced, but we really shouldn't pass the holy chariot's whereabouts to the state capitals, otherwise we will attract gold thieves to attack!"

Zhao Ning turned around and looked at Zhang Zhiqiu, and asked, "Are you worried about my safety, or are you Zhang Zhiqiu afraid?"

"Recovering Yan Yun is the wish of the Taizu. Your Majesty's achievements surpass the Holy Lord. The army is magnificent and mighty like a rainbow. Although I have no regrets in my death, I am only worried about your Majesty's safety."

"You don't need to worry about it, you don't need to worry too much, and do a good job in the deployment of Hejian Mansion's military supplies."

Zhao Ning flipped his long cuffs with his hands, some snow fell on his palms, and the chill spread from his palms to his heart. He turned around and said, "There are millions of my soldiers from the Song Dynasty on the border of Song and Jin Dynasties. The gold thieves There is nothing to be afraid of!"

After speaking, he strode towards the palace.

Zhao Yu asked: "Father, I think what Zhang Zhifu said makes sense. As an official, why did Daddy reveal his whereabouts during the war?"

Zhao Ning turned around and looked at Zhao Yu, and said patiently: "Your question is very good, but do you know the strength of Jin Wushu?"

Zhao Yu shook his head.

"Then you only know the distribution of Jinren's troops?"

"I don't know either."

"Then how do you know?"

"Scout spying."

"With the help of scouts, can we spy on all of Jin Wushu's troops?"

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "Daddy wants the main force of Jin Wushu to show up as soon as possible?"

"The Song-Jin border line is too long, especially in Hebei, which is six to seven hundred miles across, and there is no danger to defend, so it can only be defended with old-fashioned cities, and the Jin people have mastered heavy artillery, and now they don't know the total force and strength of the Jin people. Distribution, if I were here, Jin Wushu must rush to send a main force."

"In this way, the front line can be quickly compressed to the Hejian Prefecture area." Zhao Yu said, "In this way, the prefectures and counties in Hebei and Jingdong can avoid the spread of the war as much as possible."

Zhao Ning took off the cloak outside, and said to Lu Yihao: "The fourth brother is like me."

Lu Yihao quickly said: "The fourth prince is smart, and the officials are doing their best to protect the people."

After all, once a war starts, any means will be used.

But the scale of this war is still unknown, and no one dares to say that the Jin people dare not rush southward.

Crazy, the Jinren rushed southward in multiple ways, and the misery of life will be staged again.

On the contrary, Zhang Jun said: "According to multiple reports in the past two years, the total strength of Jin Wushu in Yandi may not be less than 15, and it is equipped with a large number of artillery and cavalry. According to secret reports, the number of Iron Buddha Tu also increased."

Lu Zai said: "It's no wonder that Jin Wushu is not afraid that there are refugees everywhere in the Kingdom of Jin. He relies on his strength and will fight us head-on."

This is the first time for him to follow Shengjia's personal expedition, and he is mainly responsible for the financial review of the entire Hebei and Jingdong battlefields.

The most important thing right now is not just the front line, logistics materials and financial supplies are all related to the battle situation.

"The Jin people built their country with force, and it has only been a few years since I established three provinces and six ministries in my dynasty. How could the barbarians think about governing the country well?" Fan Zhixu said, "In the past, the Jin people took Xijin Mansion from the Liao people and sent all the people away. Taking away, leaving an empty city, and killing people who don't want to leave is even more ruthless than it is now."

"In this way, doesn't it mean that my trade with the Jin people in the past two years has not played any role?" It was Sun Fu who spoke.

"How could it be useless?" Lu Yihao said, "One is that we have established contacts with the Han family in Yandi and Liaodong, and we have a lot of information. Wushu cannot afford to lose, once he loses, the country will be destroyed, if the Jin people are strong, even if our army defeats Jin Wushu on the battlefield, he can go back to recuperate."

"So the current situation is that Jin Wushu only has one chance?" Sun Fu asked.

"Only this one chance!"

Chapter 1411 The total strength of the Golden Army? (Second more)

Da Song can still be defeated countless times on the battlefield, but Jin Guo only has this chance.

This is equivalent to taking advantage of the trade war to evacuate the foundation of the Kingdom of Jin and greatly shorten the duration of the confrontation between the Song army.

You must know that the Kingdom of Jin has undergone imperial restructuring, the Han people quickly entered the court of the Kingdom of Jin, and the ideology of Confucianism is affecting the Kingdom of Jin.

Confucian ideology is very interesting.

In the age of empires, an empire can quickly restore national order by using Confucian ideology in the early stage, bringing a favorable environment for production, thereby promoting social production.

why?

Because the empire had just experienced chaos in the early days, the most important thing was to restore order.

As long as a stable order is established, agriculture can slowly prosper and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

As for the land annexation that appeared in the middle period, it was precisely a kind of destruction of the order in the early stage of the empire.

Ironically, it was the Confucian literati themselves who disrupted this order.

In other words, this is just a change from one order to another.

The order in the early stage can at least calm the people, but in the order in the middle and late stages, many internal contradictions will arise.

The Kingdom of Jin had only been established for more than twenty years. According to historical inferences, Wanyan Quan should still be in power in this era. It may take another five years for Wanyan Quan to be killed by Wanyan Liang.

After Wan Yanliang succeeded to the throne, it further promoted Sinicization. During this period, the national strength of the Jin Kingdom began to reach its peak.

It was precisely after Wan Yanliang that it really started to weaken.

According to this set of empire cycle theory, if he does not adopt a trade and currency war against Jin, even if Jin Wushu loses this time, he still has room for strategic retreat.

Even if Yanyun is lost and he retreats to Liaodong, he can use a complete set of imperial system and economic system to establish a country in Liaodong where the empire and tribes merge.

That would become a big worry for the Song Dynasty, just like Goguryeo was a big worry for the Sui and Tang Dynasties back then.

But now, in addition to force, the economy and people's livelihood of Jin Kingdom have basically been hollowed out.

Zhao Ning took over the words, and he said: "So, what is the deployment of Jin Wushu's troops, and who spied on the information?"

Everyone was silent, but Sun Fu said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Jin people gathered in the Taihang Mountain area, and I thought the main force of the Jin people would attack Hedong!"

Everyone was speechless, but it was not easy to refute Sun Fu's words face to face.

Gather in the Taihang Mountains and fight east of the river?

Brother Sun, is it your brain that is broken, or the golden man's brain?

"What Sun Shilang means is that the Jin people want to attack Taiyuan?"
