Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

On the second day after the imperial examination was over, heavy snow fell in the city of Yanjing. At this moment, the military aircraft department, including Zhao Chen, were discussing the pros and cons of this imperial examination. This time the imperial examination was held in a hurry, and there were many problems, but no matter what, this nation finally walked out of the old road that has lasted for a thousand years. Whether it is Zhao Chen or other members of the Military Aircraft Department, you can have a foreboding that the new imperial examination is about to affect the Great Song Dynasty. Great changes brought about.

In the far north, Zhongjing City, the heavy snow here has been snowing for more than ten days! The world is vast, covered in silver, and very enchanting.

From the outside, there is not much difference between Zhongjingcheng and a year ago, but in fact, the lives of the people in Zhongjingcheng have changed greatly!

A year ago, the Khitan and Han people in Zhongjing City were living like pigs and dogs, and countless people starved to death every winter! In front of the Jurchens, they have no status, no dignity! They have forgotten the etiquette and morality, forget everything, just want to have a bite to eat, just want to be able to survive!

And now, although the Khitan and Han people in Zhongjing City are still living in poverty, they have more or less surplus food in their hands. This year, the phenomenon of starving people will no longer be seen in Zhongjing City! When Song Jun just entered Zhongjing City, the alleys and corners of Zhongjing City were full of dead people's bones, and now they are all invisible! The numb expressions on the faces of the people in Zhongjing City disappeared, and smiles appeared on their faces!

In order to change the lives of the people in Shangjing, Zhongjing, and even the entire north and Liaodong, the Song Dynasty court has made great efforts this year. One-third of the national finance was spent on the restoration of the North and East Liaoning. For a whole year, 200,000 militiamen traveled between the Central Plains, Yanyun, the North, and East Liaoning, and they continued to transport large amounts of supplies to the north. .

Yu Yunwen personally sits in Liaoyang Prefecture in eastern Liaoning, while Shangjing and Zhongjing are under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department.

It can be said that this year's aid to the north and Liaodong can almost launch another war in the north.

The New Year’s Eve is getting closer and closer, and since the morning, many hawkers in Zhongjing City have started selling New Year’s goods. Most of these hawkers came from the Jiangnan, Sichuan and Shu areas. For the great benefit, they have crossed thousands of miles to come here, but it seems that it is still difficult to make money from here.

Several citizens of Zhongjing City were standing at the gate of the city, looking outside curiously. Among them, there were both Khitan and Han.

In the distance, a tall Chinese man came towards here, and he shouted: "What are you looking at?"

"It turned out to be Brother Wang. The army outside is gathering. I don't know what it is doing?" A Khitan man responded and said.

This tall Han came to the gate of the city, and he saw the army gathering outside. He laughed and said, "Our Da Song army has to train every day. Don't you know, what's so good about this? "

"It seems a little different today!" That Khitan humanity.

"What's the difference?" The big man asked curiously.

"I can't tell, I just think it's weird." Khitan said humanely.

"By the way, how are your preparations for the new year?" the big man said.

"Preparation is almost done! Thanks to the great Lord, without him, we would have to endure the hunger as before! Now anyhow, we can eat more often!" The Khitanese said with a pious expression on their faces.

When Zhao Chen appeared in Liaodong, under the operation of the Propaganda Department, Zhao Chen became the so-called "savior". In the past year, the "savior" has spread among all the Khitans in Liaodong, and in Zhongjing and Shangjing, There are also some Khitan people who have begun to promote the so-called "savior" title, which is attributed to the propaganda office, and some Khitan people are propaganda spontaneously.

Relying on a propaganda policy similar to religion, coupled with the fact that the Khitan people in the north are really eager to recuperate, this place has become stable in just one year.

"It is said that there are still some places where you can't eat enough." The big man said.

"I asked a general a few days ago. He said that if someone can't eat, the court will continue to help! The court has divided us into farmland, seeds, pastures, cattle and sheep. As long as we work hard, there is no reason why we can't eat?" Khitan humanity.

"That's right! Hey, it's really strange. These soldiers don't seem to be training today! They are still standing there after such a long time." The big man also showed a surprised expression on his face.

Five miles west of Zhongjing City, countless soldiers are gathering.

Arranged at the forefront of the army are some older soldiers who seem to be older. Today these soldiers have an indescribable expression on their faces. They seem to be very sad. Some soldiers even have tears on their faces.

In an army like steel, the soldiers shed tears, it is incredible!

However, no general now accuses them!

The high-ranking officers of Liu Qi and Yang Yi came to the army. They passed in front of these soldiers and kept raising their hands in salute.

"From now on you are leaving the army! You can return to your hometown!" At the end, Liu Qi was surrounded by these military regiments, and Liu Qi said with emotion.

"General, we don't want to leave the army!"

"Yeah! We still want to stay in the army!"

"General, can you let us stay again?"

The surrounding veterans shouted one after another, and countless people had wet eyes.

"The court asked you to retire, that's good for you! Isn't you called Liu Guang? There is only one old mother in your family. Now she is old and it is difficult to live alone. So let you go back to take care of your mother. Don't you want to?" Liu Qi looked at a soldier and said.

He recognizes this soldier, this soldier is more than 30 years old! When he was in Jingyuan, this soldier followed him, and he still follows him.

"But, I can't bear the army and my comrades in arms." The soldier choked.

"Yeah, General, we are not willing to leave!"

The soldiers spoke again one after another.

"Whether you are in the army or at home, we are all good brothers. Such feelings will never change! The country will give you a large sum of retirement money. Take this money back home and work hard! You used to be soldiers, and you are also soldiers when you come home. Don't shame the army!" Liu Qi said.

The soldiers around were sad, but they still nodded.

"Huang Jin, you have studied in a school before and served as a squad leader. After you go back, you can participate in the imperial examination! After the imperial examination, you can enter the government and continue to serve for the court and your majesty!"

"You are Liu Rong, right? I remember that your family is in Sichuan and Sichuan. It seems that your family is quite rich, and you are in the silk business! Now your Majesty attaches great importance to practical learning, and the status of scholars, farmers, and commerce is average! If your comrades in arms have any difficulties, you must help them in time!"

"You all remember, you must keep in touch after you go back! Especially if we are in the same place, we must move around frequently. We are all members of the army and we are all brothers! Whoever has difficulties, the others must help. !"

"Also, on your way back, the court will send someone to explain some laws and regulations to you! When you were in the army, military laws are like mountains. When you return to the place, you must not violate the laws and regulations! If someone violates the court laws and bullies you, don't Be polite with them! The prince breaks the law and the common people commit the same crime, and no one in this world can do illegal things!"

Liu Qi kept shouting at these soldiers.

"General, we know! We all remembered!"

"General, I want to serve another year, can I?"

"Reluctant to give up!"

The soldiers around are extremely sad at this moment!

"Remember, after returning to your hometown, you must always be loyal to your majesty and the court!"

"We are all soldiers of your majesty, and never be ashamed of your majesty."

Liu Qi was still yelling constantly, and the surrounding soldiers agreed.

After another while, the soldiers behind also rushed over. They hugged these veterans who were about to retire, and everyone was full of reluctance.

It took a full hour before these veterans gathered again, and they were going to the south.

"General, we want to bid farewell to our comrades! We have no training today, so let's do long-distance marching training! Let's go south with our comrades and send them off!" A division commander came to Liu Qi and said.

"Okay, I mean it! Tell the veterans that they will follow us for the last military training!" Liu Qi said.

At the moment, this army is heading south. The veterans are carrying a lot of things because they retired. However, these things have been snatched by the recruits, and the recruits are huddling the veterans toward the south.

"Our soldiers are the best group of people in the world. They are not afraid of hardship or death. They are loyal to your majesty and the court. After they return to their hometown, they will certainly become the best people of the Song Dynasty!" Liu Qi followed the soldiers to the south, and he directed at Yang Yi Middle Road beside him.

"Yes! Such a batch of veterans return to their hometowns, the whole country will be different because of them! They understand the principles of military discipline, and they will not violate the law! Many of them are educated in the military, and the king of heaven wrote us a few days ago. Letter, if it is said that retired soldiers participated in the imperial examination, the chances of the referral will be far greater than those of ordinary scholars. In the future, half of the people in this officialdom are expected to be retired soldiers. Compared with those corrupt Confucianists, they will be more honest and diligent. Will not violate your majesty's orders, and will thoroughly carry out your majesty's orders! However, our army's combat effectiveness is about to drop!" Yang Yizhong said.

"The imperial court is about to have 30,000 recruits coming to our army. At that time, we must train these recruits well, and strive to train these recruits into elites in the shortest time!" Liu Qi said.

"Good!" Yang Yizhong laughed.

"We still have Mongolian threats in the north. There are more Mongolians than Jurchens! There is also the Qincha grassland to the north of Mongolia! Sooner or later we will go north to conquer Mongolia and Qincha, so we must always be prepared. Now the north and Liaodong are recovering. When the recovery is almost complete, Yue Fei will take the lead to enter Goryeo. After Goryo is destroyed, it may be us!" Liu Qi said.

"I hope this day will come soon! We have been fighting for these years, and we are not used to stopping." Yang Yizhong said.

"Korean people are really rampant. They have been defeated repeatedly in Liaodong, yet they are not willing to leave. A group of greedy people."

"I don't know how General Yue is preparing?" Yang Yizhong said.

As they were talking, the army that was sending off the veterans drifted away, and it took a few days before they stopped.
