Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The sky was gradually brightening. At this time, dozens of miles south of Zhongshan Mansion, all the troops finally started to get up and return to Zhongshan Mansion.

The snow is still coming and the soldiers are walking in the snow.

The cavalry walked on both sides, not very fast, closely following the infantry.

All the soldiers had smiles on their faces, and there were singing voices from time to time in the army.

"In those days, Xue Rengui quelled the Tianshan Rebellion. It was called'the general three arrows set the Tianshan Mountains, and the soldiers entered Hanguan with a long song.' Today I am waiting for a long song!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Yes! We finally regained the Central Plains!" Yu Yunwen said with an excited expression on his face.

"In the next step, we are going to enter the customs, go straight to Huanglong, and completely eliminate Jurchen!" Qu Duan said excitedly.

Huanglong Mansion outside the Guan is one of the birthplaces of the Jurchens and the earliest city occupied by the Jurchens. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, there was a saying "straight to the Huanglong", that is to hit the birthplace of the Jurchens and completely exterminate the Jurchens! In history, Yue Fei had such great ambitions, but it was a pity that he never realized it in his life, but now, "straight to Huanglong" is no longer a dream!

"Next we can't go outside the pass. There are still many places in the Central Plains that are unstable! There are also many places in Yanyun that are unstable!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, there is Liu Yu's puppet army in the Central Plains, and they have not been completely wiped out! In addition, there are many bandits everywhere! The Khitan people in Yanyun also do not obey our orders." Qu Duan was stunned and nodded.

"Let's carefully discuss the method to completely eliminate Liu Yu's puppet army and bandits everywhere!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Hebei, Hedong, Shandong, Henan, Lianghuai, and Yanyun 16 prefectures must have troops from all over the country to eliminate bandits. Who should be sent and how much troops should be used? The General Staff Headquarters needs to discuss it carefully! In addition, Juyongguan Pass. The areas around Shanhaiguan, Datong, and Xixia are weak, and the remaining troops should be sent to these places as much as possible to prevent the Jurchens from the north from taking the opportunity to go south! When the Central Plains is completely stable and there are no hidden dangers, then it is a good time for us to go north to deal with the Jurchens." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty said it." Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others nodded one after another.

The snow keeps falling, the sky and the earth are dark, but everyone’s mood is very good. Many people’s legs hurt, but they still don’t want to stop. They rushed to Zhongshan Mansion, which is now their city. Up!

The army walked forward like this, until noon, they finally came to the front of Zhongshan Mansion.

The city gate of Zhongshan Mansion was wide open. At this moment, thousands of people in Zhongshan Mansion had already arrived outside the city. Seeing the army coming from a distance, these people hurriedly knelt down. They have received news that the emperor of Song Dynasty is in the army.

"Caomin, see your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!" Suddenly, such a voice came from outside Zhongshan Mansion.

Zhao Chen galloped forward with dozens of soldiers. Seeing these people, he hurriedly got off his horse.

He came to the people and helped them up.

"Get up all! Get up quickly! Flat body!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Is this the emperor of my Da Song? So young?"

"He was right! When the city of Kaifeng was broken that day, he was still the crown prince, only ten years old, and now he is only sixteen or seventeen!"

"He doesn't feel scary at all, but he is very amiable."

The ancient emperors were aloof, and they were far apart from ordinary people. Except for the founding emperors who were born in suffering, most emperors did not have the temperament of being close to the people. Even if they came to the people, those emperors could not get along with the people. , Zhao Chen is completely different from those emperors.

"Get up, it seems that you also know the news of the destruction of Jurchen?" Zhao Chen helped a sixty or seventy-year-old elder and smiled.

"Your Majesty, is Jurchen really annihilated?" This old man was supported by Zhao Chen, his heart was extremely excited, said.

"Naturally, they were all annihilated! Jurchen entered the Central Plains with 200,000 people, and now they are all annihilated! Some of them died in Hedong, some died in Yucheng, some died in Hejian Prefecture, and some died. I'm in Zhongshan Mansion! From now on, there will be no Jurchen in Central Plains!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Really! It turned out to be true? In my lifetime, I will be able to see the recovery of the Central Plains?" The old man was excited.

The people beside them were also very excited.

"Is the troubled times over?" a commoner said.

"The troubled times are over! From now on, it will be peaceful and prosperous!" Zhao Chen said.

"A peaceful and prosperous age? Is it the same as when the two Supreme Emperors were reigning?" Another commoner said.

"No, it's not the peaceful and prosperous age when the Supreme Emperor was reigning, but the peaceful and prosperous age far surpassing Han and Tang Dynasties! When the two Supreme Emperors were reigning, the Hua Shi Gang was established and the people under the world were suffering. I would never do such a thing! Let the people of the world be prosperous and happy, far better than before! My Chinese heaven is famous and frightened by all the barbarians! Never again dare foreigners invade the land of the Central Plains!" Zhao Chen said.

"It would be great if it could be so!" said the old man before.

"Your Majesty, it's time to enter the city!" Kang An came to Zhao Chen's side and said.

"Okay! Elders, I know that when Jurchen was here, you all suffered! You don’t even have extra food in your home, and you starve to death many people every winter! Now Jurchen is gone, this kind of thing will naturally never happen again. , I will send someone to deliver the grain to your homes." Zhao Chen smiled.

The surrounding people cheered immediately.

On the other hand, Zhao Chen rode on the horse and led the soldiers and horses into the Zhongshan Mansion.

Zhongshan Mansion was originally a military town, and there were countless barracks for soldiers stationed in it. This time the army can finally have a good rest.

Countless soldiers lay in the house and fell asleep. Even in their sleep, their faces were still smiling.

Zhao Chen came to the palace, where there was already a stove, Zhao Chen sat by the stove, Yu Yunwen and others were also sitting by the stove.

"How many people are there in Zhongshan Mansion now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Zhongshan Mansion originally had more than 50,000 people, but now there are only more than 20,000 people!" Yu Yunwen said.

"The population of the Central Plains is declining!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! Hedong originally had a population of 7 million people, but now there are less than 3 million people left! The situation in Hebei is even worse, with only one tenth of the population left! The situation on Shandong Road is slightly better, but the wealthy families on Shandong Road are After being taken over by Liu Yu, the people live in a bitter cold! As for Henan, Lianghuai and other places, they are the most miserable places, and there are still thieves raging!" Yu Yunwen said.

"How is Yan Yun's situation?" Zhao Chen said.

"Yanyun now has a population of more than 6 million, among which there are more than 4 million Han Chinese, and the rest are Khitans! In some small states and counties, the Khitans have even begun to rebel and kill my soldiers!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Send the army to various places quickly and stabilize the situation everywhere!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains and Yanyun are so big and have a large population. To manage these many places, countless officials are needed, but now we don't have so many officials! Hu Quan and others have led many young people into Yanyun before, but they have manpower. Still not enough." Yu Yunwen said.

"The army is stationed in various places, so that the army temporarily manages the place and exercises military control." Zhao Chen thought for a while, said.

"Military control?" Yu Yunwen was taken aback.

"Yes! Now that the sky is set, only military management can quickly stabilize the place and restore order to the place! However, military management must also have a system, and it cannot be blindly managed! How to manage the military, these I have to deal with your staff. Let's discuss it! The purpose of military management is not to develop the local area, but to stabilize the order! Now there is a military law in the military, and you can formulate a military management law similar to the military law for me!" Zhao Chen said.

"Implementing military control, this is indeed the only feasible way now, the Weichen understands." Yu Yunwen said.

"In a few days, I am going to Yanjing, and you follow me to Yanjing." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said again.

"Yanjing?" Yu Yunwen was taken aback again.

"We Han people have lost Yanyun for more than two hundred years, and now we finally have Yanyun again, and Yanjing is the head of Yanyun. I must go there! Moreover, if we want to frighten Yanyun's Khitans, we must also go there. In the future, when Liaodong and other places are pacified, Yanjing may become the capital." Zhao Chen thought for a while, said.

"The capital? Your Majesty, now that the Central Plains has been recovered, do you want to return to the old capital, Kaifeng?" Yu Yunwen said.

"Don't use it for the time being! Kaifeng is now extremely dilapidated. There are only a few thousand people in it and there is nothing. What are you going to do there?" Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.
