Chapter 362 0359 [Being fooled]

be cheated!

Sun Fu's heart skipped a beat.

Turning to look at Li Gang, the two of them saw horror in each other's eyes.

Okay, okay, what a great Xie Ding Xie Shouqi!

When Xie Ding said that he could persuade Han Zhen to send troops when he first went to Shandong as an envoy, Sun Fu and Li Gang were quite moved. They felt that he was in Cao's camp and his heart was in Han, so he might have something to hide.

Now it seems that this old thief has dug a trap and is waiting for them to jump into it.

The Korean thieves had never planned to unite with the Jin to attack the Song Dynasty, but had already planned to take advantage of the attack on the Jin to seize Hebei and the capital.

It's ridiculous that they not only sent money to send Meiji away, but also opened the port for free and subsidized food and fodder for sending troops.

The two of them, and even the entire Zhao and Song Dynasties, were played around by the Han thieves.

But no one is pursuing this at the moment. Zhao Huan asked with a pale face: "Where did the Han thief hit?"

The secret agent replied: "We have arrived at Hejian Mansion now and are heading to Jizhou."

Wow!

In an instant, there was an uproar in the hall.

Jizhou is only three hundred miles away from Damingfu. Once Damingfu is conquered, they can march straight in and march to the capital.

Fast, too fast!

The Korean thieves' offensive was incredibly fast. In just two or three days, they captured almost half of the state capital on Hebei East Road.

In fact, Han Zhen didn't take action at all.

He already had the amazing power of subordinates, and with his expedition to the north to attack the gold, the people of Hebei were all grateful and grateful. Even the local landlords and gentry accepted his favor.

Along the way, the subordinate officials in the state capital learned that Han Zhen was leading an army, and they killed their officials and rebelled. The people ate pots of pulp to welcome the king's troops into the city.

In this way, he took over most of the prefectures and counties in Hebei without spending a single soldier.

"My dear friends, do you have any countermeasures?"

Zhao Huan wanted to cry but had no tears at this moment.

As a new emperor who has just ascended the throne, he will suffer the consequences of a subjugated king before he can enjoy the joy of being an emperor.

Hearing this, all the courtiers had different expressions.

Li Bangyan looked up at the top of the hall, looking like he was thinking hard.

Cai You looked down at his big belly, pretending to be lost in thought.

Bai Shizhong...

Bai Shizhong simply closed his eyes and began to think about what auspiciousness to send next time.

Geng Nanzhong, who had just been appointed as Privy Councilor, looked anxious, but he could not think of a way to deal with it.

At this moment, Zhang Bangchang said: "Your Majesty, it is better to negotiate with the Korean thief. After all, he is the son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor. First stabilize the Korean thief. Then we only need to repel the Jin people, and the capital will be safe."

"inappropriate!"

Li Gang stood up again and refuted: "The Han thief is ambitious. Not to mention whether he is willing to accept peace talks, even if he is willing to accept peace talks, I am afraid he will be a lion."

Li Bangyan suggested: "It is better to cede the two roads in Hebei to the Korean thieves. In this way, if the Jin people go south again, the Korean thieves will definitely bear the brunt."

Li Gang said loudly: "Today we will cut five cities, and tomorrow we will cut ten cities, and then we have to sleep overnight. Today we cut two roads in Hebei, and next time the Korean bandits raise their troops, will they also cede the Hedong Road to him? Next time, Even the capital city, how many states and counties in the Song Dynasty can be ceded?"

With these words, Li Bangyan and the peace talk faction were speechless.

Seeing that his political ally was being attacked, Bai Shizhong opened his eyes and said in a strange tone, "I wonder what Mr. Li has to say?"

Li Gang didn't take it seriously and continued: "Your Majesty, the Jin people and the Korean thieves are bound to capture the capital, and there is no possibility of peace talks. To deal with the tigers and wolves, the only solution for now is to fight. There are 150,000 armored men around the capital. We have a lot of people, and there is a kind of master, this famous general, who is here to take charge. As long as we all work together and fight to the death, the outcome is still uncertain."

These words were filled with excitement and excitement.

Zhao Huan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and regardless of his resentment, he hurriedly asked: "Does Li Qing have any countermeasures?"

Li Gang gave advice and said: "The Jin people are fierce, and the Korean bandits are even more powerful, but our army in the Song Dynasty has many generals. Your Majesty can issue an order to ban troops from other states and march to the capital to serve the king!"

To be honest, he knew in his heart that the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops around the capital alone would not be able to stop them.

It seems to be 150,000, but in fact only 40,000 to 50,000 of the Western Army has combat strength. The rest are either the Forbidden Army mobilized from Hebei or the new recruits recruited last year, and their combat strength is worrying.

"I object!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up.

The person who stood up was Wu Min.

Seeing this, Li Gang couldn't help but frown.

Wu Min glanced at Li Gang and said righteously: "At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties were all in chaos due to military disasters. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, we must be on guard!"

The late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties were a typical warlord war.

Moreover, they know better than anyone how they got this Zhao Song Jiangshan.

Precisely because Zhao Er rebelled and seized power, he was extremely wary of military generals. Whether he released his military power over a glass of wine or later suppressed Wu and Chongwen as a national policy, everything he did was to attack the status and rights of military generals.

Especially in the current situation, the emperor has fled south, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the government is unstable, and the country is in turmoil, it is most likely to cause trouble.

"Governor Wu's words are right. Military disasters must be guarded against."

"I second the proposal!"

Zhang Bangchang and others all echoed.

Li Gang tried to explain: "I am also aware of the concerns of my colleagues, but the current situation is critical and cannot be dealt with based on common sense."

"Shilang Li had ulterior motives and led troops to the capital. What was his motive?"

Bai Shizhong took the opportunity to impeach, and his followers responded one after another.

Sun Fu and others were also divided into two groups. One group did not agree with allowing the southern imperial army to enter the capital of Beijing, and the other group supported Li Gang to tide over the difficulties.

For a time, there was a huge quarrel in the court.

Zhao Huan felt a headache and was very irritable.

……

Just as the monarchs of Zhao and Song were quarreling, Han Zhen had already led 20,000 Qingzhou troops, more than 10,000 reorganized Song troops, and 30,000 civilians to Jizhou in a mighty manner.

Jizhou is located in the hinterland of Hebei East Road. It is only separated from Jinan Prefecture by Enzhou and Dezhou, which is only a hundred miles apart.

This time when he went south, Han Zhen left behind 10,000 Qingzhou troops and tens of thousands of civilians, commanded by Nie Dong, to guard Nanjing Road.

He also ordered the navy to transport a large amount of cement by sea to Nanjing Road and build forts on the border of the Kingdom of Jin.

The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun itself is an important pass to resist the north.

Yanshan Mountain, Taihang Mountain and the Great Wall together built a barrier.

Once the forts are built with cement and equipped with artillery and firearms, it will be difficult for the Jin people to go south.

For this reason, Han Zhen specially left ten siege guns, thirty field guns, and 30,000 firearms for Nie Dong. What's more, the Jin army on the East Road suffered heavy losses and would never dare to go south again in a short time.

Jizhou.

Han Zhen was riding on a war horse and was rushing towards Xindu County.

At this moment, Yue Fei of the former army galloped over with his horse and reported: "The county magistrate and the governor of Jizhou abandoned the city and fled. The county guard led 6,000 Song troops to surrender."

"Ok!"

Han Zhen nodded, his expression unperturbed.

An hour later, the army arrived at Xindu County.

At this moment, the gate of Xindu County was opened, and six thousand Song troops abandoned their troops and disarmed their armor. They stood outside the city with anxious expressions, waiting for Han Zhen to receive them.

At the same time, there are also a group of subordinate officials and wealthy businessmen.

Compared to the Song army, these people's attitude was completely opposite. The subordinate officials were all inexplicably excited, while the wealthy businessmen looked calm.

The reason is very simple. These wealthy businessmen basically have business dealings with Shandong, and even have a lot of money in their hands. They have no idea what is going on in Shandong.

Moreover, when Han Zhen went south and took over the counties, he did not commit any crime except killing a few corrupt officials who had committed serious crimes.

In this case, who should be the emperor?

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came.

coming!

Everyone looked stern.

At the end of the official road, a black crowd appeared.

The Xuanjia Army marched neatly and stepped on the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

At the head was a cavalry group, and the leader was tall and overflowing with domineering strength.

Everyone arranged their clothes one after another, then went up to greet him and bowed.

"Meet County Magistrate Han!"

Han Zhen reined in his horse and chuckled, "Everyone is interested."

An old man in Confucian robes cupped his hands and said, "It is our honor to see the holy face of County Magistrate Han."

Holy face?

Look at this flattery.

Han Zhen's expression remained unchanged and he said loudly: "You are all great sages in Jizhou. You should cooperate with the government to appease the people and educate all people."

"We will strictly follow the instructions of County Magistrate Han."

All the wealthy businessmen and gentry responded in unison.

They are all human beings, how could they not understand the meaning of Han Zhen's words?

good for everyone.

But if you are not good, then that is a different matter.

After appeasing the wealthy gentry, Han Zhen asked again: "Where are the subordinate officials in Xindu County?"

"Be humble!"

A dozen subordinate officials immediately jumped out of the crowd.

Naturally, there are more than this number of subordinate officials in the county and city. Those present are all senior subordinate officials in the government office.

Looking around at the crowd, Han Zhen asked again: "Where is Kong Mu?"

A middle-aged man with a long beard replied: "County magistrate, Jizhou has a sparse population, so there are no holes."

Han Zhen nodded and said, "Where's Asi?"

The middle-aged man continued to answer: "The humble one is the police officer, whose surname is Fan and whose name is Zhongyi."

"Loyalty, good name."

Han Zhen smiled slightly and ordered: "You will temporarily take over the position of chief registrar for a term of three months. If you do well, you can become a full-time official. But if you don't do well, you can't blame me. Under my rule, be careful. The capable ones go up, the mediocre ones go down.”

"Thank you so much, County Magistrate Han. I am humble... I will work hard to repay your kindness!"

Fan Zhongyi's hands were shaking with excitement.

As for the three-month term, he didn't care at all, he just lacked an opportunity.

Now that the opportunity has come, how can he not be excited.

Seeing the envious expressions on the faces of other subordinate officials, Han Zhen said loudly: "You and others, don't belittle yourself. Subordinate officials are supplemented by officials. Everyone can be an official."

"Thank you, County Magistrate!"

They are loyal readers of Qingzhou Daily and almost never miss an issue.

Naturally, we are aware of the series of reforms carried out by the Han thieves in Shandong, such as abolishing subordinate staff and replacing them with supplementary officials, etc.

Then, Han Zhen began to deal with the six thousand Song troops.

Some of the old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated and each was given five hundred coins and ten days of food rations, allowing them to return to their hometowns and farm on their own.

The remaining ones were integrated into the Song military camp and handed over to Yue Fei for management.

After the First World War in Tianjiazhai, Yue Fei gradually showed his talent for commanding troops.

The more than 10,000 Song troops under his command were kept obedient by him. Although their combat power did not increase much, their military discipline was much better than before.

Some old, weak, sick and disabled people left happily after receiving money and food.

However, there are still some people who are unwilling to take money and food, and are unwilling to leave.

The smile on Han Zhen's face gradually faded, and he asked in a deep voice: "Too few?"

Seeing this, an older Song Jun swallowed his saliva and replied cautiously: "County Magistrate Han, it's not because we are greedy. We are soldiers recruited from Hedong Road. Now our hometown is facing a military disaster and we can't go back at all. ah."

Hearing this, Han Zhen muttered: "Since you can't go back, I'll show you a clear way, go north to Nanjing Road. They are recruiting refugees there. As long as you go, each person will be given twenty acres of land and residence, and they will be loaned farm tools for free. and seeds.”

After several military disasters in the past few years, there are no ordinary people in the huge Nanjing Road.

After Zhao Song took over, many people did immigrate, but as the Jin people went south, those people died or escaped, and the rest were plundered by the Jin army and returned to the Kingdom of Jin.

It is no exaggeration to say that the population of the entire Nanjing Road now does not exceed one hundred thousand, even including the Qingzhou Army who stayed behind.

Let alone twenty acres of land per person, fifty acres can be divided.
