The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 166 A cucumber in winter

These 110 brand new soldiers in Nianhan are not ordinary.

It is equipped with light iron armor. The horse does not wear armor. Only leather armor or wood chips are used as light armor on the horse's head and front.

Then, equip five hundred firearms soldiers.

The early firearms of the Song Army were thunder cannons, rocket launchers, etc.

For the Jurchens, this is already a treasure.

After the equipment was ready, Nianhan didn't want to wait a day anymore and sent out troops.

He did not fight Lin Gan, and took advantage of Lin Gan's troops to attack Xuandeguan City within the Great Wall of Goryeo. Thousands of Jurchens from the Wanyan tribe, plus other Jurchen tribesmen, numbering close to ten thousand, killed and looted countless people in a small city within the pass. .

Then he turned around and led the troops with Aguda who were dealing with Lin Gan to attack from a pincer attack.

Lin Qian was defeated and most of his troops were killed.

Aguda and Nianhan joined forces, then turned back and fought back to the Great Wall of Korea. This time they directly attacked Xuandeguan City.

The city is broken.

Countless plunders were made.

As for Zhao Xiaofu, the boat is full of people.

I never thought I would be able to transport iron ore back now.

Goryeo's Xuandeguan City has countless wealth.

The boats brought by Zhao Xiaofu were all pressed close to the waterline. If they were loaded any further, the crew would not dare to go to sea.

Only then did he have no choice but to return home with a full load.

Goryeo Kaicheng.

Only ten days have passed since Yin Guan reported that the Jurchen Wanyan Department had robbed his daughter.

Lin Gan is dead.

Xuandeguan City became an empty city.

All the young and strong men were kidnapped by the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, and all the wealth in the city was looted.

"Mr. Ren."

Yin Guan personally visited Ren Yi.

Ren Yi sighed: "I will persuade the king to grant you the 鈇yue (a knife and axe; the right to conquer and kill given by the emperor) and appoint you as the Privy Council envoy. You will be the commander of the troops and horses in the northeast to attack the Jurchens and take revenge. Hate it."

Ren Yi was confident. At this time, he had received a letter from Pu Jiannan of Bianjing.

The contents of the letter were more beneficial than the hearsay.

When seven.

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, they paid tribute and traded. Many times they exchanged coins for ten.

Therefore, Ren Yi supported the fight against the Jurchens.

But he did not tell Yin Guan that Pu Jiannan's letter said that Jurchens sold Koreans to Bianjing, and one of them was suspected to be a noble daughter of the Yin family.

"Thank you Mr. Reng." Yin Guan didn't expect his daughter to come back alive.

Therefore, the word revenge is suitable for him.

Where is his daughter?

The girl from the Yin family has already learned to play mahjong. It is very common for Goryeo nobles to learn Chinese, but they still need to be proficient in pronunciation.

With Zhao Bijun secretly taking care of her, her life was quite comfortable.

Just can't have any contact with the outside world.

The girl from the Yin family also understands that life is good now. She is alone in Bianjing and does not dare to have too many thoughts. She can only wait.

Liang Xin did not forget this.

I just haven't figured out what to do.

At this moment, Liang Xin is in the palace.

Zhao Ji’s lunch.

It's winter today.Buhanqi is a must-have dish, which is boiled cabbage.

The second dish is called jade cake, which is a kind of food made by roasting and grinding yam into powder.

Where's the meal?Golden rice.

It's just yellow chrysanthemums mixed with licorice soup and salt. When the rice is almost cooked, mix it in and simmer it together.

When Liang Xin arrived, Zhao Ji motioned to the eunuchs to prepare one for Liang Xin.

Liang Xin took out two courgettes, fresh cucumbers with thorns and flowers on the top.

"Impossible, this is impossible." Although Zhao Ji is not good at government affairs, he is not stupid. He reads a lot. How can there be courgettes so green and fresh in winter?

Liang Xin sat down and said: "Emperor, of course I have the emperor's enjoyment, specially prepared for you. As for the expenses, you don't need to worry about it. There will be fresh dishes every day throughout the winter. Although there are not many, there will definitely be them."

Zhao Ji was very moved: "Brother Xin, you are the best and understand me best."

Liang Xin waved her hand and signaled the young eunuchs to go out, and then said: "Something big has happened, and I have to tell you."

"A big event? How big is it?" In Zhao Ji's view, it wouldn't be a big event unless the Liao Kingdom came over.

Liang Xin: "Jingzhao, there is a secret report from the assassination camp of the Imperial City Department. You, King Wu Rong...that is, your second uncle, and your fourth uncle's sons have a lot of armor hidden in them. Bianjing, Bianjing The chief of the government arrested the head and found the armor, so Zhuangzi arranged for someone to investigate, it is your second uncle's family who is in charge."

"Also, several eunuchs from the palace also reported secretly..."

Before Liang Xin finished speaking, the chopsticks and bowl in Zhao Ji's hand fell on the table, and the golden rice was scattered all over the table.

A common problem in the old Zhao family.

Even in dreams, he is always on guard against his brothers.

As for Liang Xin, she laid out the chopsticks and bowls for Zhao Ji in a leisurely manner, and continued: "I have already told the palace chief, Gao Shuai, to ask him to mobilize elite troops to support the palace at any time. At the moment, should we wait for them to attack, or should we go first? Take action."

Zhao Ji became anxious when he heard this: "Of course I will take action first."

Liang Xin: "There is insufficient evidence. Now we can find bandits and thieves to blame, and they can get away perfectly."

"I don't care, I don't care." Zhao Ji became angry.

Although Zhao Ji didn't know much about government affairs, he had heard about palace chaos since he was a child.

At the time of Renzong, the rebels had already reached the palace, and many people in the palace were killed or wounded.Then in the era of Shenzong, Shenzong could be said to be like a warrior. If they heard the slightest rumor, they would dare to do cruel things and create injustice.

Zhao Ji silently muttered: "The eighth year of Qingli, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month."

Liang Xin stood up and walked out.

Zhao Ji was still mumbling silently, he was extremely scared.

Liang Xin went out and came back soon.

He went to Zhao Ji's study. There was a decoration in Zhao Ji's study. It was said to be a decoration, but in fact it was just uncut.

A sword from Xixia.

Name: Daxia Sword.

The workmanship is extremely exquisite. It was originally from the imperial palace. After Zhao Ji became emperor, he wore this sword as a decoration.

Su Shi and others also had swords, which were also used for decorative purposes.

Carrying the sword, Liang Xin returned to the dining room and said to Zhao Ji: "I'm going to solve your trouble. It's not appropriate to leave the palace these days, so I'm going."

Zhao Ji was truly moved.

The things he fears the most, the things he dares not face the most, are taken care of by someone on his behalf.

Liang Xin left the dining room and handed the sword to Zhao Youfu.

Zhao Youfu didn't say anything and took the people out of the palace.

Liang Xin returned to the East Crossing Hospital.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhang Dun blocked Liang Xin and said, "Brother Xin, those armors are just bamboo armors, paper armors, and a very small amount of leather armors. The powerful in various places also prepare some armors to fight against bandits. Jing Zhao's The armor on the side should be prepared for merchants from the Western Regions to do business there. There are many bandits along this way."

Liang Xin looked at Zhang Dun and said: "Mr. Zhang, the clan prepares armor privately, and is suspected of treason. The official family will deliver a general amnesty to absolve King Jian of his crime and make him repent at home."

"This matter has something to do with King Jian..." Zhang Dun stopped talking. He understood that this was no different from the unjust case of Shenzong at that time.

It is the emperor who cannot trust his uncles and brothers.
