Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Early the next morning, the sky was still dark, and the 150,000 Jingyuan Army had risen and headed east.

The speed of their team formation is extremely fast, and the formation is still very neat. During the whole team, only the sound of counting was heard, not the slightest noise at all.

Almost all the men in the village hid from the side, watching them leave.

In fact, no villager was able to fall asleep last night! Even those three or four-year-old children can't sleep! In troubled times, the army is a very terrifying existence. Not only the enemy's army will rob ordinary people, even the army of your own country will rob the people! In ancient times, rebellious soldiers were far more terrifying than banditry!

"Strange, this army didn't even break into the village and didn't **** our stuff? When they set up camp, they also avoided our farmland and didn't destroy our farmland!" said a ten-year-old villager.

"They are the king's master, different from the Jurchen Tartarists, and also different from the rebel bandits!" An old man next to him scolded.

The so-called "king division" is the army of the imperial court! When the famous poet Lu You died in the Southern Song Dynasty, he said, "Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifices will never forget to tell Nai Weng." But in this era, regaining the Central Plains is no longer an extravagant hope.

"Even if it's Master Wang, it wouldn't be like this." The ten-year-old villager next to him was disobedient.

The old man snorted and ignored him.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the army had already set off! However, not all the troops were heading east, and dozens of others remained.

These dozens of people were strong soldiers, and after a while, these soldiers walked towards the villagers.

The villagers were startled. Most of them had already "escaped" to their homes, but more than ten people remained.

The remaining villagers were also trembling.

"Master Bing, what else is there?" the old man who met Zhao Zhe last night asked.

"Our general sees that you are living in poverty, so let us keep some food! Go and hand over all the people in the village, and everyone has 200 catties of food!" a soldier said.

"Ah!" The old man stayed there, unbelievable.

"Master Bing, are you joking?" a villager next to him sneered.

"How could it be a joke? This is the general's order! The military order is like a mountain, and I dare not violate it! You guys are here, now you can take the food back!" the soldier said.

"This..." The villagers stayed there at the moment.

After a while, several soldiers came in the distance pushing the cart with bags of grain.

"These grains are a little heavy, we will help you carry them back." A soldier said.

At the moment, these soldiers carried the grains and headed towards the surrounding villagers' homes. When the grains were placed in the villagers' homes, the villagers couldn't believe it.

When the sun rose in the morning, all the villagers received food.

All the villagers were very excited. By this time, they were no longer afraid of the soldiers who remained. They came out one after another and asked about the situation.

These soldiers are already standing in the middle of the village. There are a few old locust trees here, and they are standing under the trees.

"Master Bing, why did you give us food?" The old man from last night seemed to be the most prestigious person in the village, and asked at this moment.

"We are soldiers, and what we do is to protect our home and our country and serve the people! Before we set off from Guanshan, the decree of your majesty was passed on, and your majesty let us help the poor people all the way! You have suffered all these years , I should help you." A soldier laughed.

"This, this... how can there be such an army in the world?"

"This is the real teacher of benevolence and righteousness!"

"As expected of Master Wang!"

For a while, there were praises everywhere in the village.

"In fact, when your Majesty first came to Hanzhong, Zhe Ke asked for the regency, bullied the people and threatened your Majesty. The Zhe family army was not like this at that time." A soldier said.

"Oh? What was it like at that time? By the way, soldiers, we have been here for many years, isolated from the world, and don't know what's going on outside. Can you tell us about it?" the old man said.

"Okay! I'm about to tell you!" the soldier smiled.

At the moment these soldiers sat down under the big locust tree, and dozens of villagers also sat down nearby. They were very interested in what happened outside these years.

These soldiers began to talk about everything from the break of Kaifeng city to the usurpation of Zhao Gou, the power of the fold, the battle of Guanshan, the battle of Xixia, etc. During this period, it was inevitable to promote some ideas of allegiance to the Song Dynasty and Zhao Chen.

This time the army entered the Central Plains. They not only shouldered the task of fighting, but also the army was a propaganda team, responsible for propaganda tasks. Propaganda personnel in the military will enter all parts of the Central Plains to promote policies and win the hearts of the people in the shortest possible time.

The Guan-Shan Society has successively transported grain and grass to various parts of the Central Plains, not only to support the army, but also to help the people.

By the time these soldiers finished speaking, it was already noon.

The people talked again.

Some people praised the army, praised the new court, and others were puzzled.

"It seems that the Central Plains is really going to be recovered! But after the Central Plains is recovered, can we still return to the former prosperity? After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was completely destroyed and never returned to the former prosperous scene! We Da Song Will it be the same as the former Datang?" The old man said.

"We are completely different from the original Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty's implementation of the New Deal in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan and Shu, will surely be able to reproduce the glory of all parts of the Central Plains, even more than before." Soldier said.

Now the soldiers once again talked about the new policies in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan, and the changes in people's livelihood, etc., to appease the hearts of the people, not to mention it.

Zhao Zhe's army went all the way forward, but never encountered a complete village again. It turns out that the more the Jurchens go to the north, the more they are robbed by the Jurchens. The people in these places are either killed by the Jurchens or they have all fled to the south. No one lives in such a place.

It took five days for Zhao Zhe's army to come to a place more than two hundred miles west of Liyang City.

Here, the ground is full of water, which can almost reach human knees. This is because of the flooding of the Yellow River!

In ancient times, the Yellow River was often flooded, and there was almost a disaster every year, a major disaster in three years, and this was still under the condition of human management. Since the Jurchen invasion, no one has ruled the Yellow River anymore, so more than a hundred miles on both sides of the Yellow River suffered devastating damage. In history, the ecological environment was completely destroyed in later generations and the Yellow River was cut off all the year round, and the Yellow River floods disappeared.

One hundred and fifty thousand troops moved forward like this, and when there were more than a hundred miles away from Li Yang, twenty thousand cavalry had already headed towards Li Yang! There are still five thousand Jurchen troops in Liyang. The two thousand cavalrymen are not to attack Liyang City, but to block the way out of Liyang City and prevent the five thousand Jurchen troops from fleeing! After all the 150,000 troops arrived, it was time to really attack Liyang City.

Liyang City reserves a large amount of grain and grass, which the Jurchens originally obtained from Kaifeng.

After obtaining these forages, the Huanqing Army will cross the Yellow River to Hebei to complete the combat plan of the Three Route Army of the General Staff Headquarters to advance into the Central Plains.

At this moment in Lin'an in the south of the Yangtze River, the mutiny of Miao and Liu, the killing of Zhao Gou, and the rebellion of Yang Shi have been completely calmed down, and the former prosperity has been restored here.

Zhao Chen is now on the foothills of Lingyin Mountain to the west of Lin'an, and he is heading towards Lingyin Temple, a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River.

There is no tourist here at all, because the emperor is coming, the mountain has already been sealed.

Countless guards were densely scattered around the foothills of Lingyin Mountain, and Zhao Chen was followed by more than a dozen ministers.

One of the ministers was more than forty years old, with a ruddy complexion and three long beards. He looked elegant and extraordinary. He was Zhang Jun (not Zhang Jun) who had just served as the assistant minister of Jiangnan officials. This Jun is also a famous figure in history. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, he served as the Propaganda and Fu Envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, commanding several battles, but he lost more than he won. In history, he used to serve as a privy envoy, a prime minister, and supervise all soldiers and horses. He originally served in the Ministry of Rites. When Yang Shi rebelled, he did not rebel with him. After Zhao Chen had a few conversations with this person, he sent someone to evaluate this person and determined that this person was quite talented, and finally appointed this person as The assistant minister.

Another person is over fifty years old, looks a bit old, but his eyes give people a sense of rebelliousness. This person is also a famous figure in history, the magistrate of Yuhang County, Chen Dong. This person was originally a scholar of Taixue. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others caused disaster to the world, Song Huizong abdicated, Song Qinzong succeeded, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others were still powerful. Chen Dong was the first to stand up and write to Song Qinzong, suggesting Song Qinzong killed the "six thieves" including Cai Jing and Tong Guan. He was known for his integrity and boldness. Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne in the south of the Yangtze River. Chen Dong was already the magistrate of Yuhang at that time. He wrote to Zhao Gou several times, saying that Zhao Gou violated ethics and should abdicate. Zhao Gou just cared about Chen Dong's reputation, so he did not kill Chen Dong, but Chen Dong has also been unable to be promoted and served as Yuhang county magistrate for six years.

One of these ministers turned out to be Huang Qianshan! Huang Qianshan was originally the prefect of Jiangling, when Zhao Chen went south, Huang Qianshan took refuge in Zhao Chen, and now Huang Qianshan has also been recruited to Lin'an.
