"Marshal Yue's troops are in Bazhou, and they can be transferred directly from Bazhou to Lulong, Pingzhou."
"We must let Han Shizhong go. How can Yue Fei's achievements in exterminating gold be attributed to Yue Fei?" Zhao Ning said calmly, "One person can't bear such a great achievement, and neither can Yue Fei."
"Daddy means that Marshal Yue can't command the overall extermination of gold alone?"
"Fourth brother usually learns all about the art of war, but he doesn't know the rules of power. If Yue Pengju destroys the gold by himself and takes the credit for himself, what will happen to Liaodong?"
Zhao Yu was still ignorant, but seemed to have thought of something again, and said, "Marshal Yue is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, and will never act disobediently."
"You haven't answered me yet, what will happen to Liaodong?"
"Liaodong will naturally return to the imperial court."
"Can you come back?"
Zhao Yu was even more confused, so they were shot down, why couldn't they come back?
"Daddy, the child is stupid."
"In your mind, who captured Liaodong?"
Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, he even doubted himself, and said very unconfidently: "Marshal Yue."
"Marshal Yue alone can conquer Liaodong?"
"Naturally with the Shenwu Army."
"So, Yue Pengju and the Shenwu Army took down Liaodong together?"
Zhao Yu nodded even more unconfidently.
"Since this is the case, Yue Pengju should be rewarded, should the officers of the Shenwu Army also be rewarded?"
"There are clear rewards and punishments, it must be."
"How to reward?"
"The Military and Political Academy has its own set of rewards and promotions. Those who get promoted get promoted, and those who get a salary get a salary." Zhao Yu replied.
Zhao Ning was quite satisfied with this answer, knowing that the Military and Political Yuan should come.
"In this way, there are quite a few people in the Shenwu Army. If they want to be promoted several levels in this battle of destroying gold, are they in Liaodong, or are they transferred elsewhere? If they are in Liaodong, then Liaodong is only in name. Song, Liaodong can’t come back!”
"Can be transferred elsewhere."
"Deployed to other places, where are they dispatched? How many of these people are military and political officials, how do they affect military and political affairs, and how do these people interact with each other, do you know?"
Zhao Yu froze for a moment, then shook his head again.
"If these people have close contacts in private, and at the same time they have been promoted several levels in this war, and most of them have entered the middle level of the Song Dynasty's military and government. If they help each other, what will happen?"
Zhao Ning stopped Zhao Yu from asking this question.
"I have never doubted Yue Pengju's loyalty to Da Song. I believe in him more than anyone else, but how can you guarantee that others are like him?"
"One word from Dad is better than ten years of reading, and the child has been educated."
"Power is not a game of one person, but a group of people. If I am the only one left in this world, although I am the emperor, what can I do?" Zhao Ning continued, "Since it is a game of a group of people, suddenly there is an extra group of people. People are quickly promoted to certain levels, and these people happen to have held positions in the same place and under the same number. In the fierce and turbulent court competition, who can guarantee that these people will not report to the group for warmth? At that time, which faction can be their opponent?"
"So Dad met Han Shuai alone, hoping that Han Shuai can participate in a larger-scale war against the Kingdom of Jin as soon as possible?"
"Okay, it's good that you can understand my painstaking efforts. You are all ministers of the country, but as a king, you have to investigate. If one day there is an uncontrolled faction in the Song Dynasty, it is not the problem of the ministers. , but the king's mistake."
"The child will remember it in his heart."
In fact, Zhao Ning did not say a word. With the continuous increase of the military achievements of the Great Song Dynasty, military and political issues may have involved the issue of establishing a reserve in the court and the replacement of prime ministers.
There are many inextricably linked with the core level of power.
In the vortex of power, many things are involuntary.
It is said that Han Shizhong returned to the barracks, and began to mobilize troops in Cangzhou to go north again.
People in Han Shizhong's army heard that they were going to Lulong, Pingzhou, and they were so excited that they couldn't even sleep.
This place has been an important frontier fortress since ancient times, but without Yanyun in the Song Dynasty, it lost its strategic value.
Now that the troops are re-garrisoned, there must be new arrangements from the imperial court, and it is very close to Liaodong. It is said that Yanyun still has a large number of golden soldiers, which is also a credit!
Now is a great opportunity for promotion and salary increase. Work hard, cut a few gold troops, get more bonuses, and go back to the village to marry a wife.
Chapter 1479 The Escape of Jin Wushu (Second Change)
If you're lucky, maybe if you catch a few officers, you'll be promoted, and you'll have a stable nest in the future.
In a word, the sound of the abacus was played by all the former people, so that even Zhao Gou, who was far away in the South China Sea, could hear it.
On the contrary, Yue Fei returned to Bazhou to rectify military affairs in Bazhou and recuperate the army in preparation for going north again.
The news that Master Wang defeated Jin Wushu in Hejian spread one after another in the next few days.
Hebei soldiers and civilians who had already rushed halfway and were preparing to reinforce the royal army of the imperial court, heard the news in a state of nervousness, and couldn't believe it for a while.
It wasn't until more and more news spread, and various newspapers in Hebei published reports of Master Wang's victory, that people confirmed that Master Wang really won.
Winning this time was different from usual.
In some places in Zhongshan Prefecture, someone said without hesitation: "Yanyun can be restored! Yanyun can be restored!"
Another group of people was more direct: "Yan Yun has recovered!"
They rushed to tell each other, weeping with joy.
The slack people in the village asked them, what does Yan Yunfu have to do with these people? Can the court give them an extra penny?
Some of these people replied: "With the recovery of Yan Yun, there will be no more wars in the hinterland of Hebei, the Zhongshan Mansion will no longer be the front line, the imperial court will no longer have to recruit large numbers of soldiers and horses, and the people will finally no longer have to be separated from their wives and children!"
Hebei is no longer a battlefield. How many years ago did this go back?
Almost 400 years ago!
Since the Anshi Rebellion, there has been no peace in Hebei.
Blood continued to wash over the land, and the bones were buried layer by layer.
It is difficult for people who have not experienced war to understand the oppression of being born on the border.
"Is the war over?" someone else asked.
"The war should be over!"
"No, the war is not over yet, the Kingdom of Jin will not be destroyed, and there will be no peace in the country, then the Zhao official family is the hero, and the Kingdom of Jin will be destroyed!"
"But for ordinary people in Hebei, the war is over, and we no longer have to worry about barbarian cavalry suddenly going south, destroying our homes and killing our families."
Of course, the good news must be passed back to Bianjing.
This matter immediately caused a sensation in Bianjing, and the Sijing Newspaper's headlines for several days were all about the Battle of Hejian.
The folk storytellers who make a living by telling stories don't even have time to eat, they continue to talk when their voices are hoarse, and their hands feel weak when they make money.
All the wine and tea in major restaurants are out of stock.
The truth of various flower styles emerges endlessly.
Some people said that Jin Wushu had millions of troops, mighty and mighty, covering the land of Yan, and went south quickly, encircling the Hejian mansion for a hundred circles.
At a critical moment, His Majesty roared, what did you do?
The divine fire fell from the sky, and the millions of gold troops collapsed without a fight, causing countless casualties.
Others said that Jin Wushu is just a pig's brain, how can a pig's brain fight a war?
The pig's brain can only come up to die, so Jin Wushu died.
Of course, there are more rumors about Yue Fei.
Some people say that Yue Fei is the reincarnation of a god, who came here to help Song Dynasty regain Yanyun.
Regarding the matter of Jin Wushu, there are even more tricks.
I don’t know when, Bianjing City began to spread Jin Wushu because he slept with his subordinate’s wife and daughter, was retaliated by his subordinates, and leaked military plans, which made the imperial court Wangshi take the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Jin army in one fell swoop.
There is also a rumor that Jin Wushu suddenly had diarrhea during the war, and his Tiefutu went to the suburbs with him to squat in the pit, and was taken over by Master Wang.
Thinking about the scene of more than 1 people collectively confronting the pit, many people couldn't help but feel that it would be great if they could be on the spot, so that they could collect so much feces to farm and make a fortune!
Of course, after a great victory on the front line, it is inevitable that the emotions in the back will be high and entertainment will be entertained.
Even the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture didn't care about it, and the officials of the various ministries of the imperial court were even more familiar with all kinds of gossip.
Businessmen have already smelled business opportunities.
In February, the ice and snow in Hebei have melted, even if the residual cold has not receded, there is still a hint of spring.
After waking up early in the morning, Zhao Ning was changing clothes when Zheng Xi suddenly ran up and said, "Your Majesty, the people below said that today there is a man named Han Li who claims to be an old friend of Song Dynasty and wants to see His Majesty's face."
"Da Song's old friend?"
Zhao Ning felt strange that Wan Yanchang was the only old friend of Da Song in the Kingdom of Jin.
When did I arrange all kinds of old friends again?
"This person said that before the Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin trade, he was the one who promoted it in Yanjing. He always wanted to work for the Song Dynasty and wanted to be His Majesty's courtier."
"I haven't heard of it, I don't know this person, let's go away."
"Yes." Zheng Xi turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, the other party also said that he is from the Han family in Yandi."
"Han's family in Yandi?" Zhao Ning immediately looked outside the hall, "So it's Han Derang's family!"
The three major Han families in Yandi, the Han family, the Liu family, and the Shi family, are all well-known families.
Those things between Han Derang and Empress Dowager Xiao back then have been talked about thousands of years later.
Zhao Ning thought for a while and said, "Bring him in."
"Yes."
Not long after, Han Li was brought in. He knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "For the criminals, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Sinner?" Zhao Ning pulled his collar and skillfully closed the cuffs, without looking at Han Li, he just said calmly, "Sinner is also my subject, when did you become my subject? "
"The guilty minister, Han Li, is from the Han family in Yandi."
"The Han family?" Zhao Ning said with a chuckle, "When will a small Han family dare to say that it is my servant, who is the official of the Han family in the Song Dynasty, and who will serve me?"
"The sinful minister has always wanted to serve the Great Song Dynasty. Before that, the criminal minister had been persuading Wanyan Wushu not to start a war, but to do business with the Great Song Dynasty."
"This is to serve me?" Zhao Ning was even more disdainful, "So, I still have to thank you?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I have another important matter to tell Your Majesty about the crime minister's visit this time."
"what's up?"
"The location where Wanyan Wushu escaped."
As soon as Han Li said this, Zhao Ning immediately became interested, but he kept his composure, shook his head and said, "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is?"
"The guilty minister promises to be absolutely true, otherwise the guilty minister will give this head to His Majesty."
"What is your head worth, and you still want me to order it to be chopped off?"
"Doesn't Your Majesty want to hear where Yan Wushu escaped from?"
"where?"
"Your Majesty first agrees to the guilty minister with one condition."
Zhao Ning waved his hand: "Drag it out and chop it up."
Han Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately said in horror: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"
But the imperial guards in the hall had already entered and dragged Han Li back.
"Your Majesty, forgive me! Wanyan Wushu will escape from Lulongsai."
"Wait." Zhao Ning said.
The imperial guards put down Han Li.
Zhao Ning asked: "How to prove that what you said is true?"
Chapter 1480 A Dedicated Family
"I used to work as the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple in the Kingdom of Jin...the Golden Thieves. He specialized in coordinating various commodities of the Golden Thieves, including grain, iron ore mined, cloth, horses, etc., so he worked with the Privy Council to purchase military supplies. Many officials are very familiar and have a little understanding of the whereabouts of some food, cloth and horses."
Zhao Ning immediately understood Han Li's role, which was equivalent to Wang Zonglin's role in Song Dynasty.
