A few months later, the weather in early spring warmed up, and the flowers and plants in the Tokyo Imperial Palace revived, and finally there was some vitality.

In just a few months, the situation in the world has undergone new changes. Now the entire Jianghuai and Southwest, most of the country that originally belonged to the Song Dynasty has belonged to Zhou You. return.

Only in the south of the Yangtze River, as the Fang Layi army grew bigger and captured Hangzhou, the momentum became more powerful. There were also some remnants of the Song Dynasty loyal to the Song Dynasty who gathered in Jiangzhou and wanted to continue the Song Dynasty.

However, the new emperor surnamed Zhao they just supported died inexplicably not long after he ascended the throne in Jiangzhou, so that they couldn't find a suitable one for a while to support the new emperor, and no descendants surnamed Zhao were willing Go be it.

In fact, Zhou You sent someone to assassinate that short-lived ghost whose name Zhou You had never heard of before, and he died so that no one could find out the cause of death, so it is naturally easier for people to imagine.

In fact, no matter whether it was the remnants of the Song Dynasty or Fang La, Zhou You had never noticed it.What he cared about was always the stability of the northern and northwest borders.Whether it is Jin people or Xixia people, they are all eyeing the country of the Central Plains, and they are ambitious!

On this day, the weather was warm, and Zhou You was breathing fresh air in the imperial garden with the pregnant queen Li Shishi.

Since Zhou You had never had a child in this world, Li Shishi, who was the first to conceive his child after he proclaimed himself emperor, naturally became a queen.In this regard, neither Liangshan's brothers nor the civil and military ministers who later attached to Daliang could raise any objections.

For an emperor, the heir is very important!It is about the stability of the country and people's hearts.So as long as Li Shishi can give birth to a son for Zhou You, no matter what her background is, everyone will want her to be the queen, so as to guarantee the status of the only prince at present.

So even if Zhou You didn't make Li Shishi the queen, after she gave birth to a son, the courtiers would take the initiative to ask Zhou You to make her the queen, or even establish a prince.

After taking a walk to move his body, Zhou You just supported Li Shishi to sit down and rest in the gazebo in the imperial garden, when a palace lady came to report that the military advisor Zuo Prime Minister Wu came, saying that there was an urgent military report.

"Minister Wu Yong sees Your Majesty, sees the Empress Empress," Wu Yong, who was dressed in an official mansion, hurriedly saluted outside the gazebo.

"Okay, military adviser, tell me what you have to say, don't care about these vain gifts," Zhou You waved his hands lightly and got up, greeted Wu Yong, and walked towards the corridor beside him.

Wu Yong also responded and hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, according to the military report from Daizhou just now, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Qin Ming fought another big victory. They wiped out tens of thousands of elite Jin in the first battle! And took the opportunity to seize After leaving Shuozhou and Yingzhou, I believe that the Jin people will not easily go south to invade again in a short time."

"In addition, General Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Lu Zhishen, and Yang Zhi fought well in the northwest. They have taken back the Hehuang land that the Xixia people took the opportunity to occupy, and defeated the Xixia army in Lanzhou. There is no worry in the northwest," Wu Yong continued. Excited and joyful Lian Dao.

After hearing this, Zhou You couldn't help nodding and laughing in satisfaction: "Hehe, well played! It seems that this Xixia is just like Da Song, and he can't help but fight more and more!"

"Your Majesty, it's mainly because our Daliang army is elite, while the northwest frontier army, especially the Zhong family army is quite powerful," Wu Yonglian said, "They and the Xixia army are old rivals."

"Being able to stabilize the frontier before spring, we don't have to worry about affecting the spring plowing in the north," Zhou You continued with a slight nod.

Wu Yong couldn't help but nodded with emotion after hearing this: "Yes! If it weren't for His Majesty's means to reach the sky, our Daliang has no rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and we can't support the consumption of money and food for successive wars!"

"After the most difficult period, it will be fine," Zhou You said with a smile: "Let the army repair for a while, and after the spring plowing, send troops to destroy Fang La. Now, Fang La should have almost destroyed Jiangnan. If you don’t break it, you can’t build it, after he has made such a fuss, after we collect Jiangnan, the resistance to dividing the land will be much smaller.”

Dividing the land is not a simple matter. Ordinary people and landless people are naturally happy to share the land, but how can the powerful landlords and those big families be willing to distribute the land passed down from their ancestors to the landless farmers?

In the north, Zhou You relied on wars and punished local tyrants and evil gentry to obtain a large amount of land and distribute it.However, in the south, the power of the landlords is stronger, and there is no doubt that the help to divide the land is greater. Blindly relying on strong methods can easily cause chaos.

As the saying goes, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish." A good policy may not be implemented well. We must pay attention to methods and methods. Sometimes we should be tough, but more often we need to compromise and make concessions to ensure that we will not Something went wrong.

Sometimes, you also need to seize the opportunity, be ruthless, and be able to sit back and watch Fang La wreak havoc in the south. After the chaos, it will be easier for the south to usher in real chaos.

A person in power must know how to choose and choose. All policies have to weigh the pros and cons, and finally choose the best way, even if it is not the most perfect and perfect, as long as it is the most suitable.

At the end of March, the 20 Daliang Army with Song Jiang as the commander and Wu Yong as the military division marched southward in three routes from the Huaihe River. Together with the three Ruan brothers, Li Jun, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, and other generals of the navy, they advanced by land and water, and took Jiangzhou and Hangzhou directly like a broken bamboo.

The army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and soon under the support of Huang Wenbing, Jiangzhou was conquered, and then the army went down the river and encircled Hangzhou..

Although Fang La is not good at governing the region, his rebel army is also full of desperadoes, their combat effectiveness is still very powerful, and there are some generals with great martial arts skills, so even if the Daliang Army has the advantage in strength and ordnance, the battle of Jiangnan will still be fought. It was more tragic.

The Battle of Jiangnan lasted for two or three months before Daliang's army finally captured Hangzhou, killed Fang La, completely swept and pacified the entire Jiangnan land, causing other southern states to surrender one after another.

In fact, there was no suspense in this war at all. In the TV series, Fang La was still wiped out with only Liangshan troops under the restraint of the treacherous court officials, but the casualties were also heavy.

With the prestige of the Great Liang army, even though Fang La has become bigger under Zhou You's intentional connivance, sweeping half of the south of the Yangtze River, but Fang La, who doesn't know how to govern, still fails to rely on the richness of the south of the Yangtze River to make himself stronger. On the contrary, some troubles appeared within the rebel army.

Rising suddenly, possessing power, status, wealth and enjoyment, it is easy to corrupt people's hearts, make people indulge in it, and not think about making progress.Moreover, although Fang La and the others have bravery and courage, they also have some abilities, but after all, their vision is too narrow and they don't have much foresight.

To put it bluntly, it’s just a group of reckless people rebelling, occupying too much territory, unable to play anymore, greedy for comfort and enjoyment, no sense of crisis, and even internal strife, this is the disadvantage of the peasant uprising!

If Liang Shan hadn't had a wise leader like Zhou You, with foresight, who could seize the opportunity, dare to think and act, there would be no Liang Shan today.
