Chapter 454 0450 [Go back]

The old man burst into tears and begged: "Your Majesty, your eldest cousin passed away early. Third uncle only has a son like this. He can at least leave a heir to our Wu family. Just give him a beating and teach him a lesson. Third uncle swears to God, He will be disciplined strictly in the future and will never let him do evil again."

Han Zhen shouted and asked: "He is my cousin, isn't the businessman who was killed not one of my subjects?"

Seeing his firm tone, the old man began to play the emotional card: "Second son, after you become the emperor, are you so ruthless? When your mother passed away, I still planned the funeral for your family!"

Han Zhen sneered: "Then you took advantage of the situation and occupied five acres of my family's land?"

It was okay if he didn't say it, but Han Zhen remembered it when he mentioned it.

At that time, Han Zhen was still young and ignorant, and his eldest brother was also a sick man, so his third uncle inexplicably defrauded him of five acres of farmland by helping him with the funeral.

The old man's expression froze and he was about to quibble, but Han Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense and scolded: "Zhixian Liu, what are you waiting for?"

Liu Yong suddenly became excited and immediately ordered the police to drag the offending family members out of the hall and take them to prison.

As the offending relatives were taken away, the lobby became slightly emptier.

"Wei Chen is here."

The disastrous defeat during the spring march south left Wanyan Zongwang injured, but it was not fatal.

In the military camp, the sounds of tens of thousands of soldiers' drills gathered together and resounded through the sky.

In addition, Wanyan Zongwang secretly reached an agreement with some Bohai nobles. As long as they could help him destroy Qi and ascend to the throne, he would allocate the Hetao Plain south of Yinshan Mountain to them.

Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed clumsily to say thank you.

"Liu Zhixian."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Yong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will guard Linzi County well!"

A young man said loudly: "I have had enough of living with my face facing the loess and my back facing the sky."

After a while, more than 20 people stepped out. Most of these people were strong young men in their teens and 20s.

Han Zhen nodded and ordered: "In that case, you will stay here. The rest of you should disperse and go back to live a good life. If anyone dares to use my name to bully the market, bully men and women, I will not be lenient." But don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will dare to bully you at will.”

The remaining seven aunts and eight aunts all looked at him with fearful eyes.

Liu Yong bowed and responded: "Wei Chen accepts the order."

With such a big temptation, the Bohai nobles agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Fourth brother is right!"

Young people are full of energy and cannot bear poverty. If there is an opportunity now, they will naturally seize it.

After finishing the housework, Han Zhen stood up and patted Liu Yong on the shoulder: "I'm leaving. Say hello to my sister-in-law for me."

The young people who were still hesitant at first all looked excited.

……

As long as there are still Jurchens, a large army can be formed in an instant.

As for the Liao people and Han'er, if they die, they will die, and they can recruit a new group immediately.

As time enters November, the weather in the North has begun to turn colder.

The Jin people were able to counterattack the Liao Kingdom, and the Bohai people had at least three achievements.

Soon, all the men, women and children dispersed, leaving only about twenty men.

"I want it too!"

Because the Kingdom of Jin is fierce and restrained, it is equivalent to small tribes.

"Second brother, I want to get rich."

Han Zhen paused and said loudly: "If you want to get rich, step forward. For the sake of your relatives, I will show you a clear way!"

……

However, there are also people who are unwilling to be mediocre and want to give it a try.

Most of these people are honest and honest people. Nowadays, life is much better than before. They don't want to go out and work hard. They just want to farm and farm at home.

The young man who spoke earlier smiled bitterly and said: "Second... Your Majesty, we have no capital to do business."

"Done!"

When they heard that they were going to sea to do business, the eyes of all the clan members shone brightly.

For a moment, the clan members in the lobby had different expressions.

Han Zhen ordered: "Send someone to send them to Qingdao Town tomorrow and hand them over to Dean Yang of the Trade Academy. Say it's my order and take them out to sea for business."

It is said that the Jurchens can fight, but in fact the Bohai people are not bad either.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about capital matters."

"After all, we are relatives, and I can't bear for you to suffer, but the pie will not fall in the sky, so don't expect to sit back and enjoy the gains. I conquered Qi with one blow and one shot. If you want to be rich, you have to fight for it yourself." .”

Zhongjing.

Han Zhen said sternly: "Let me tell you first, this path is risky, and you may lose your life, but it is very profitable. One trip can be worth the land you have cultivated for thirty years!"

It is precisely because the Bohai people are brave and good at fighting that the Jurchens are afraid of them. They must use them and be on guard at all times.

As a result, in just a few months, Wanyan Zongwang once again gathered an army of 100,000 troops.

Among them, there are 15,000 Jurchens, 30,000 Bohai people, and the rest are carefully selected Liao people and Han children.

Even though it was only built a few months ago, its combat power is extremely powerful.

Liu Yanzong stepped to Wanyan Zongwang's side and said softly: "Dushuai, the food and grass from Huining Mansion have been delivered, but they only have 150,000 dan, half of which is missing."

"Humph!"

Wanyan Zongwang snorted coldly: "Your Majesty has really learned all the tricks of the Song Dynasty."

Liu Yanzong looked worried and said: "One hundred and fifty thousand stones of food and grass, even if we save a little, it will only be enough for the soldiers to eat in February and March of next year, let alone reserve food to launch a war."

Although Wanyan Wu Qimai did not have much military power, he was in charge of the treasury and food.

Now, it was obvious that he was using grain to choke Wanyan Zonghan and Zong Wang in an attempt to sabotage their plan to unite with the Song Dynasty to attack Qi.

After all, soldiers have to eat.

Wanyan Wu actually didn't care whether Qi State was destroyed or whether Han Zhen died.

What he cares about is that after the Qi Kingdom is destroyed, the power and reputation of Wanyan Zonghan and Zong Wang will completely surpass the imperial power. At that time, he will be a complete puppet, at the mercy of others.

"It doesn't matter."

Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and said with a sneer: "After a while, I will contact Nianhan and ask him to mobilize several Bojilie to put pressure on His Majesty. By then, Your Majesty will have to agree even if he doesn't agree, and it's not up to him!"

Wanyan Zonghan is from the Xiangguo faction, and he is from the Prince faction. If the two parties unite, what will happen to the emperor?

After all, the Jin Kingdom still had a tribal discussion system, and the imperial power was not much.

During this period, in addition to recruiting and training troops, he focused more on discussing the division of Qi.

With the participation of four parties, the interests of all parties need to be balanced.

At present, we have basically talked about it, leaving only some minor details.

……

as expected. Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zonghan jointly exerted pressure. No matter how reluctant Wanyan Wu was, he could only hold his nose and admit it, and agreed to unite Song and Xixia to conquer Qi.

Grain trucks were transported from Huining Mansion to Xijing and Zhongjing.

……

……

After his tour to Kaifeng, Han Zhen lived in seclusion and concentrated on handling government affairs and preparing for war.

As the summer and autumn harvests came to an end, and after realizing the benefits of spreading the land from farm to farm, the people under the rule were completely stable, and all ministries were operating in an orderly manner.

Time flies by and it’s the end of the year.

During this period, Wanyan Zonghan did not send any more troops to harass or plunder, and there was no movement from the Southern Song Dynasty. The two sides opened mutual markets, and merchants exchanged what they had.

Even Xixia chose to hibernate.

Everyone is enjoying the rare peace, but they don't know that everything is calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging behind the scenes, and a shocking war is brewing.

Wait for the right moment to explode completely.

December twenty-eight.

The New Year is approaching, and the city of Tokyo is enveloped in an atmosphere of celebration.

The streets and alleys are red and colorful and lively.

As the emperor, Han Zhen ushered in the busiest days of the year.

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

Every year at the end of the year, it is necessary to worship heaven and earth, the Ancestral Temple, the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors.

In addition, Han Zhen also had to prepare for the imperial meeting in a few days.

After a busy day, it was evening, and he could finally take a rest.

Sitting on the chair in Chui Gong Hall, sipping hot tea.

At this moment, Lao Jiu hurriedly entered the hall and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, General Xiaozhong has sent a secret report."

"Send it up."

Han Zhen put down the tea cup and gave an order.

After receiving the secret note, he checked it first, and then opened it for inspection after confirming that it was correct.

The secret music is very long, but the meaning expressed is only two words: need food!

The Northwest Fifth Route is out of food!

Zhao Ji obviously didn't want to be taken advantage of anymore. As early as the first two months, he stopped the food supply to Northwest Fifth Road and Hedong Road.

It is all supported by taxes and grain from the summer harvest.

But the northwest is a bitterly cold land with barren land and scant food production, so it cannot last long.

Putting down the secret note, Han Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhao Ji is quite decisive."

He originally thought that Zhao Ji would send people to the northwest to take away the military power of the Liu, Yao, and Zhong families and replace them with his own people.

In the end, I didn't expect that this guy would be so decisive and abandon the Northwest 5th Road without blinking an eye.

I have to say that this decision was the right one.

With the influence of these three families in the northwest, changing generals will not help. How can the prestige accumulated over generations be lost in a short period of time?

At that time, these three families raised their arms and shouted, and the soldiers of the Western Army killed the officials and opened the door to welcome the king's division into the city.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen wrote a handwriting in a hurry and called the servant: "Send it to the cabinet and let the Ministry of Households approve the grain."

There was nothing he could do, Zhao Ji waved his hands away, but he couldn't just sit back and watch.

Otherwise, how would Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu view him, and how would the soldiers of the Western Army view him?

Lao Jiu suggested: "Your Majesty, there has been no movement from the Zhe family, and I don't know what the idea is. Should I send someone to test it out?"

"No need."

Han Zhen waved his hand and sneered: "The Zhe family is just sitting on the ground, obviously they want to wait and see, whoever wins, who they will help!"

From the perspective of the Zhe family, whoever wins and helps is in the best interest of oneself.

After all, the Zhe family has been running the Three Prefectures for hundreds of years, even before the founding of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

These three states are the gateway to the northwest. No matter how the Central Plains regime changes, they need to be won over to guard the gateway for themselves.

It was like this in the late Tang Dynasty, it was like this in the later Zhou Dynasty, and it was still like this in Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Therefore, in Zhejia's view, the same is true for Qi.

But Zhe Keqiu underestimated Han Zhen's ambition. Under his rule, even a small black village could not be accommodated. How could a country like China be accommodated?

If Zhejia was sensible, Han Zhen would still make him look decent.

If you don't know what's going on, please help the family look good!

Hearing this, Lao Jiu showed indignation: "It turns out that this old fox Zhe Keqiu wants to be a walleye. Unfortunately, I used to think that the children of the Zhe family are tough men."

Han Zhen smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Butt determines thinking.

At the beginning, Lao Jiu was just a leading soldier in the Western Army. He had guarded the northwest for many years and had fought hundreds of battles with Xixia. Of course he admired him.

But now, Lao Jiu is the commander-in-chief of Qi State, and his perspective on things has naturally changed.

At this time, Han Zhen suddenly asked: "By the way, is Si Niang pregnant?"

Lao Jiu was stunned by this sudden question.

After a while, Cai Qixi replied calmly: "Not yet... not yet."

Han Zhen ordered: "From today on, you are allowed to rest for a month and go home to make a baby. Whenever your mother-in-law becomes pregnant, you will be on duty again."

"This……"

Lao Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "What the hell, get out of here."

"I will retire at the end."

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Jiu cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Seeing his back disappear from sight, Han Zhen couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Lao Jiu has been loyal to him since his humble beginnings.

The war is about to begin, and he will definitely lead the expedition himself. As the commander-in-chief of the bodyguard, Lao Jiu will naturally have to protect him throughout the whole process.

On the battlefield, no one can tell whether he will live or die. If you stay behind, you can always continue your incense.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest.

In later generations, when the average person is seventy or eighty years old, this sentence is obviously a bit outdated, but in today's era where the average life expectancy is only more than thirty years old, and the sacrifices are unprecedented, being without an heir is intolerable.

Sacrificing ancestors has been engraved in the genes of the Chinese people.

Even in future generations, if you dig up other people's ancestral graves or ancestral halls, they will come to you with a knife to kill you, let alone now.
