Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Because of the invasion of Jurchen, Kaifeng has been broken and not as good as it looks.

In later generations, no dynasty ever regarded Kaifeng as its capital. Of course, because of its important geographical location, Kaifeng gradually became prosperous. Now that the Central Plains has just been laid down, Zhao Chen has not returned to Kaifeng.

He didn't have much memory of Kaifeng, the only memory was in the palace, but now the palace of Kaifeng has almost become ruins, and he can only remember it a little when he gets there! All of his relatives have been brought to the north by the Jurchens, and there is no such relative in Kaifeng.

Everyone has been running around for many days, and they are all very tired now, as are Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen.

They are not iron men either. Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen talked for a while, and the two of them went to rest first.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Zhao Chen regained his spirit.

He first came to the wall of Zhongshan Mansion and looked into the distance.

The snow finally stopped, and the sun had risen, glowing red, shining on the earth.

Zhao Chen is in a very good mood with so many beautiful rivers and mountains.

In the morning, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen, Qu Duan, Wu Jun, and the staff of the staff headquarters got busy together.

Now they have just wiped out the 200,000 Jurchens in the Central Plains, but there are still bandits in various parts of the Central Plains, and they are still very chaotic. To restore stability in various places, military management is the best way.

That morning, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen and others were discussing the details of military management.

The first is the scope of military control, including the entire Central Plains, Yanyun and other places, as well as parts of Henan and Lianghuai. In the Song Dynasty, there was no administrative division of "province", but divided into "roads", "states", and "counties". Shanxi is Hedong Road, they are on Hebei Road, and Shandong Road and other places. In the Song Dynasty, on the one hand, the court was in direct control of the "lu", but on the other hand the chiefs of the various state capitals were also under the direct control of the court. The administrative system of the Song Dynasty was between the second and third levels! There are no "roads" in many places, only state capitals! In addition to roads, prefectures, and counties, there were many local administrative agencies named after the "jun" in the Song Dynasty! "Army" is generally located in frontier areas, such as the Jingyuan Army and Huanqing Army in the northwest. It is not only the code name of the army, but also the geographical name. These places are sparsely populated, and the chiefs of the army also manage the places. It can be said that This is also military control, but the scale of military control is much smaller.

From morning till night, everyone discussed endlessly.

In the middle of the night, a "military control order" was placed in front of Zhao Chen. This is the result of their discussion today, and they will continue to discuss it tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, every state capital must have an army of 10,000 people entering! Each state capital has several counties under its jurisdiction, and each county must have one battalion or several battalions to enter." Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"General Qu Duan mainly manages Hebei and Shandong roads! After General Li Xianzhong eliminated Liu Yu, he went north to enter the Yanyun area, stationed in Juyongguan, and at the same time was responsible for the military affairs of Yanyun! General Yue Fei was originally in Juyongguan, but now the most dangerous thing is He will go to Datong, Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass and Xixia’s Xiazhou, Yinzhou and other places. Now the Huanqing Army infantry in Datong and Yanmen Pass are also under his command. The army's Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others went north, and now they are in Xiazhou, Yinzhou and other places, and they are also under the command of General Yue Fei, who presides over the Great Harmony War." Yu Yunwen said.

"Give him Datong, Yanmen, Yinzhou, Xiazhou and other places, I am most relieved! With him, there are close to 200,000 troops in that area, it is impossible for the Jurchens to want to go south! Juyongguan is in Li Xianzhong's Under the guardianship, Shanhaiguan is under Liu Qi's guardianship, so I can rest assured." Zhao Chen smiled.

"General Zhang Xian wants to go north to join General Yue Fei, but the staff headquarters is worried that Yanyun's situation is complicated, so he asked him to temporarily follow His Majesty to the 16th state of Yanyun. Even if there is war in the Datong area, we will mainly defend and stay in the Central Plains thoroughly. Before pacification, we will not go northward. The 200,000 soldiers and horses there are enough." Yu Yunwen said.

"Well, let him follow me to Yanjing City! Yanjing City is the center of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and there must be a large army stationed!" Zhao Chen said.

"General Zhao Zhe led the Jingyuan Army south into Henan to eliminate the bandits in Henan and calm the situation in Henan! There is Qin Hui in Henan, and General Zhao Zhe is only responsible for the stability of Henan, and the rest is still left to Master Qin Hui." Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded again.

"In the Lianghuai area, General Wu Lin and Master Zhao Ding are responsible, including the safety of Jiangnan, and General Wu Lin is also responsible. Of course, deep in the Jiangnan region, there is no foreign invasion, at most some civil disturbances, with Master Li Gang. It is impossible for Jiangnan to have civil chaos similar to Dongting Lake again! Lord Wang De is there again to monitor officials from all over Jiangnan, and officials from all over Jiangnan dare not slacken! As for Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan, they are already stable! For one thing, next year, the situation in the world will definitely be completely stable! After the various places are stable, we will talk about restoring the population and economy of the Central Plains." Yu Yunwen said.

"Yes, this is the truth." Zhao Chen smiled.

"Regarding military control in various places, first is to eliminate bandits from all over the place, and then the army will be stationed in important state capitals and cities! As long as there are rebels, there will be no amnesty, and if there are people who gather to make trouble, there will be no amnesties! Some civil disputes are caused by The military judges of the army will deal with it and act in accordance with the previous civil law! However, the previous civil law was too complicated, so we have streamlined it! Today we have half a day to streamline the civil law." Yu Yunwen said.

"Also, the Jurchen invasion, countless officials and gentry in Yanyun and Central Plains were killed, countless houses, properties, and land were occupied by Jurchens, all of which must be confiscated from the government! If someone seized the opportunity to seize these places, they must be dealt with seriously. When necessary, even punish them! After the government has confiscated these places into its own hands, it can be distributed to meritorious officers and soldiers or to the poor people in accordance with certain rules in the future! Especially the land cannot be occupied casually, and the government must first be confiscated. Here, the government then issued to the people, all of which needs the army to execute!" Yu Yunwen said again.

"How is the harvest in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan this year?" Zhao Chen said.

"This year's harvest is pretty good, especially in Guanshan and Xixia, because countless young people have settled in, and a lot of land has been developed! However, the army has fought everywhere and consumes a lot of money. This year's harvest can only meet the needs of our army! Your Majesty, you Do you want to provide disaster relief in various parts of the Central Plains? I am afraid it will not work now!" Yu Yunwen said.

"I originally wanted to expand the army, but now it doesn't seem to work anymore?" Zhao Chen said.

Yu Yunwen shook his head.

"It seems that we are going to rest for a year! There are still many granaries in various prefectures and capitals in the Central Plains. The Jurchens did not burn all of these granaries. Now the granaries in these places can at least meet the needs of the people to plant seeds next year?" Zhao Chen Tao.

"This should be no problem!" Yu Yunwen said.

"That's good! If there are not enough seeds, we can only let the army shrink and go on a diet." Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.

On the second day, Zhao Chen and others continued to discuss military management issues in various regions, including distributing food from the central plains to the people, so that the people can barely survive the winter, and the seeds of spring ploughing should be left in the hands of the people in the spring. in! Another issue is how to distribute land everywhere! The population of this era is less than one-tenth of that of later generations. The land area per capita is huge. In addition to the war in the Central Plains, there are fewer people and more land! In the past, most of the land was in the hands of landlords, and ordinary people generally did not have land. Now they distribute all the land to them.

The people discussed in Zhongshan Mansion for several days. Until the seventh day of October, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen and others left Zhongshan Mansion and headed for Yanjing.

Qu Duan was going to the Daming Mansion and using the Daming Mansion as a base to deal with military affairs in Hebei and Shandong. The rest of the army also went to the Central Plains and Yanyun according to the orders of the General Staff Headquarters.

Until October 15th, Zhao Chen finally came to the scope of Yanjing.

Zhang Xian, Kang An and others led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to come here with him.

Yanjing, this is one of the nine prefectures in ancient times, called Youzhou! Therefore, Yenching is also called "the land of secluded swallows".

During the Xia and Shang era, there were people living here, and it was once the place of Ji Country! After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the strength of Yan Kingdom increased, and Ji Kingdom was destroyed, and Yanjing became the capital of Yan Kingdom!

In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Khitans occupied the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, which was the most prosperous place in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun. Therefore, the Khitans listed it as the accompanying capital and called it "Nanjing"! For two hundred years, residents here have become accustomed to the term "Nanjing"! In the last ten years of Liao, the people of Liao were afraid to stay in the northern grasslands because of the Jurchen invasion, so they came to the sixteen states of Yanyun, which was the official capital of Liao in name but in fact it was already the official capital of Liao.

Historically, the Kingdom of Jin was established, and it was called the "Central Capital" by the people of the Kingdom of Jin. After decades, the people of the Kingdom of Jin moved the capital here, and it became the capital of the people of the Kingdom of Jin.

When the Mongols rose, it was occupied by the Mongols. The Mongols called it "the capital" and it was the capital of the Mongols.

After that, until Zhu Yuanzhang revolted and defeated the Mongols, Xu Da came to Dadu! At that time Xu Da destroyed most of them, including countless Yuan Dynasty palaces inside! It was not until Zhu Di was made king of Yan before he rebuilt the city of Yanjing! During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this place was also the capital.

Zhao Chen and others have already arrived at the foot of Yanjing City. The walls of Yanjing City give people an unusually mottled and vicissitudes of life!

For two hundred years, I don’t know how many wars have been experienced here!

When the Song Dynasty was just established, Song Taizu tried to recapture the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, but unfortunately he never achieved his wish. Later Song Taizong recruited troops from all over the country to conquer Yanyun. Under the city of Yanjing, the Song army was defeated. Song Taizong was almost captured alive by the Khitans. Later, a soldier in the cart saved Song Taizong's life. It was Yang Wudi, the famous golden sword in the early Song Dynasty! During the rise of Jurchen, the Northern Song Dynasty united the Jin to destroy the Liao, and the Western Army's first racial division led a large army to the city of Yanjing. However, although the Liao Kingdom has been declining to the west, its strength is still far more powerful than the Western Army, the strongest of the Song Army at that time. , The teacher is vulnerable! Later, Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi and his son came to the city of Yanjing. Their army of more than 100,000 was defeated by a mere 10,000 Khitans, and the Liu family and his son hurried away! After that, Tong Guan arrived and was defeated by thousands of Khitans! Although it was also the end of the dynasty, the weak military power of the Northern Song Dynasty was the last lowest in the history of the Central Plains, and it was far from the Khitans! Afterwards, Yao Shi Guo rebelled and sent Yanjing to the Northern Song Dynasty court. Unfortunately, within a few years, Jin Bing went south, and the city of Yanjing belonged to the Jurchens.

"It has been two hundred years. This time, Yanjing City has truly returned to the hands of our Han people! Yanyun Sixteen Prefecture, this is the northern barrier of our Han people. It should have been part of the Central Plains, but it was stolen by foreigners! From now on, This place will never be taken away by foreigners again! Go, enter the city!" Zhao Chen sighed for a while and suddenly said.
