() Hebei is devastated everywhere, so why isn't Kaifeng riddled with holes?

Song Qing also understood that if Jin Bing stayed in Hebei for one more day, it would make the Northern Expedition more difficult.So people from all walks of life have already assembled, and they are waiting for him to say a word.

In fact, he was already ready to go out at any time, and the only difference was Zongze.

After pondering for a moment, he said as if he had made up his mind: "Since the old general insists on asking this question, I want to know how the old general will help me if I go out to fight?"

Zong Ze said proudly: "Raise food and fodder, supply military supplies, and ensure that the troops ahead have no worries."

Song Qing obviously didn't want to hear this, and then asked: "Is that all?"

Zong Ze is a little confused, the army is going to fight, what else is there in terms of logistics besides these?Do you want me to lead the army?Do you dare to hand over the army to me?

Seeing that Zongze didn't understand what he meant, Song Qing's eyes suddenly became deep, and he said slowly: "First, I want the old general to go out with me. As for the logistics, I won't bother the old general. Second, I want the imperial army to withdraw from Hebei. If they don’t leave, they must accept my reorganization. Third, all officials in Hebei must come from my sect. With these three points, does the old general think it’s feasible?”

Zong Ze's face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at Song Qing with a trembling finger: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land, what qualifications do you have to appoint officials? You, what do you want to do?"

Song Qing sighed and said: "Old General, you are getting old, and it's time to rest. I will announce to the public that you are sick, and all government affairs have been entrusted to my Liang Palace. Do you want to go to Dengzhou to accompany Mr. Li Gang?" , or go overseas? Whatever you choose, I will agree."

"Don't even think about it, the old man will never allow you, a traitor, to make trouble"

Zong Ze roared angrily and was about to draw out the sword under his ribs to slash Song Qing, but before he could draw out the sword, a guard rushed over to grab the sword and held down his hands and feet.

Song Qing waved his hand to call a guard leader, pointed at Zongze and said to him: "Look at him, don't let him die, or I will ask you, don't let people see you when you go out, and send it directly to Dengzhou , stay with Li Gang and the others, when I want to see them, bring them to see me again"

The leader of the guards agreed, ordered someone to gag Zong Ze's mouth, then lifted him up and left.

Although Zong Ze was born as a general, he was old after all. Was he a young and strong bodyguard opponent?After struggling, he was lifted down.As for the men who came with him, they never came out after being called in.

Seeing Zong Ze being carried away, Song Qing couldn't help but sighed again, and said to himself, "Why bother? If you're smarter, everyone will be safe and sound?"

Immediately, Song Qing found Chen Dong and ordered him to be the Governor of Kaifeng, with full powers in charge of Kaifeng. Dong Ping, the double gun, was the commander of Kaifeng's horse infantry and was in charge of the military of Kaifeng.

Dong Ping's change is not too big, it's just raised half a frame.Chen Dong was like stepping into the sky with one step, because the governor of Kaifeng was a high-ranking official from the third rank.It turned out that although Jinan Prefecture was in charge of a large area when it was known, how can it be compared with the management of Gyeonggi?

So I happily took the errand to take over the yamen.

The news that Zong Ze was reprimanded by King Liang in front of Tianbo Yang's Mansion quickly spread throughout the city. Although the soldiers and civilians of Bianliang had a good impression of Zong Ze, they obviously couldn't compare with King Liang.So after hearing the news that the old general was seriously ill and going to recuperate, he didn't think much about it.

Liang Wang's army is here, what else is there to be afraid of?

As for Zhao Huan's court, Song Qing was not even interested in saying hello. This is already Lao Tzu's territory, and it has nothing to do with your Zhao family, so I don't need to explain to you what I did.

Zhao Huan left in a hurry, leaving everyone behind except the four elite guards.When he thought about it, what time is it now, don't so many soldiers need to pay money?

Anyway, if you go south, you will be protected by the local army, and these irregular troops will be left to Song and Qing!Anyway, he has a lot of money.

But they didn't know that the Song and Qing Dynasties had no shortage of soldiers, but the most lack of labor. These soldiers put down their swords and guns and participated in the reconstruction of Kaifeng, which was obviously more practical than recruiting now.

Moreover, Song Qing did not treat them badly, and ordered Chai Jin to make up for the salaries owed by the imperial court to these retired soldiers, and then paid those who participated in the reconstruction of Kaifeng according to their work.

In addition, the soldiers and civilians who died in the line of duty or were injured in the two Kaifeng defense battles can all receive compensation and rewards from the government.

There is no need to work hard, and at the same time, the family no longer has to worry about food and drink. What do these retired soldiers not want?

This alone raised Song Qing's prestige to an unprecedented position.

When the Song and Qing Dynasties were preparing for the Northern Expedition, the Great Jin Emperor Wu Qimai was also facing a huge crisis of trust.

Da Jin had just established the country, and many systems were still the original tribal system, and the emperor was still elected by various tribes, so he was not as supreme as the emperor of the Central Plains, and there were still people who could challenge his authority.

The two consecutive southward battles caused heavy losses to the tribes, so that many tribe leaders began to question Wu Qimai's leadership.

The first one to jump out was Wanyan Zongqian, who was driven back to Shangjing by Wu Qimai for the first time because of his defeat in the army. Relying on his status as the eldest son of Taizu Aguda, he set off a wave of rebellion against Wu Qimai.

However, Wu Qimai has been in charge of the Dajin government for many years, and it is not without his credit that the Dajin Kingdom is today, so how can his status be shaken by a nephew?

After some open and secret struggles, Wanyan Zongqian completely withdrew from the Daikin stage, but this also caused some turmoil within the Daikin.

At the same time, many anti-gold forces emerged in various places in Hebei occupied by Jinbing, and they often harassed Jinbing's camps and food roads.It made Jin Bing care about one thing and lose another, tired of coping.

Based on these internal and external difficulties, Wu Qimai had to order all the troops to withdraw from Hebei.

Due to the war in Hebei, there were also some problems in the transmission of Liangshan spy news. It was not until the Jin soldiers began to retreat that Song Qing got the information.

After receiving the news, Song Qing ordered people from all walks of life to march into Hebei in an all-round way, regain lost ground, and wipe out various forces that took advantage of the chaos.

Han Shizhong's troops left Yucheng, broke into Dezhou, swept away the former Yongjing army garrison, and went straight to Hejian Mansion.

Guan Sheng sent troops from Pingyin, entered Gaotang Prefecture, crossed into Daming Mansion, crossed Jizhou and Shenzhou, and joined Han Shizhong in Hejian Mansion.

Qin Ming raised troops from Shanghe, recovered Cangzhou, then marched forward with Han Shizhong and others, and finally stationed on the front line of Bazhou and Xiongzhou.

After the Song and Qing Dynasties led the army across the Yellow River, they were divided into two groups. One was led by Lin Chong and entered Huaizhou from Yangwu. Taiyuan Prefecture.

After leaving Fengqiu, the troops of Song and Qing went straight to Xiangzhou, and then moved to Zhendingfu.

If it was not confirmed that the Jin soldiers had withdrawn, Song Qing would not divide the troops in this way.The troops dispatched this time have reached an unprecedented 23 people, which can be said to be the current limit of Liangshan.

If the troops are scattered, it may not work against the Jin soldiers, but it is more than enough to deal with the mob and bandits.

In fact, although the golden soldiers captured many places, they were basically like locusts. They left after sweeping up, and this time they really withdrew their troops, so the troops from all walks of life in Liangshan basically did not encounter the golden soldiers.

However, just as Song Qing thought, there were too many scattered armed forces in various parts of Hebei, and some of them openly confronted Liangshan's army because they did not know the true origin of Liangshan's troops.

For such a team, Song Qing used both suppression and appeasement. After all, they were not real enemies, and of course it would be best not to fight.When encountering stubborn ones, there is nothing to discuss and they will be exterminated directly.

The land of Hebei was first poisoned by the golden soldiers, and then destroyed by various bandits. It has been changed beyond recognition.Wherever he went, there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and even within a hundred miles, there was no human habitation.

Seeing this situation, even though the army marched smoothly, Song Qing was not happy at all.

The land of Hebei is much larger than that of Shandong, and it is difficult to manage it now that it has become like this.It seems that after these places are completely recovered, the first thing to do is to bring back the fleeing people, and then find ways to improve their lives bit by bit.

If you want the people to come back, you must first let them have confidence in this place, and believe that Jin Bing will not come back again.And where this confidence comes from, it depends on the performance of Liangshan heroes.

After making up his mind, Song Qing sent troops to suppress the bandits, and at the same time helped the localities resume production where they passed, and called on the refugees who had fled to return to their homes.Especially if you want to send the news back to Shandong, many refugees there know the skills of Liangshan people, so it will be more convincing to get them back.

At the same time, restore the strength of the local government and let them organize the production and self-help of the people in their respective jurisdictions. All they need can go to Kaifeng Mansion to report to them.

It will take a long process to restore the original appearance of Hebei, so for now, Song and Qing can only do so much.

When the army passed by Tangyin Yuefei's hometown in Xiangzhou, Song Qing made a special trip to the village where Yue Fei lived. There were no people here, and the bodies were all buried.

Song Qing ordered people to prepare sacrifices, and paid homage to the villagers who suffered because of Yue Fei outside the village.In fact, after he entered Hebei, he was also looking for Yue Fei.

Nominally, Hebei is still the territory of the Song Dynasty, but the Song and Qing Dynasties will erase the imprint of the Song Dynasty little by little, just like Shandong. In the future, they will only know that there is a thousand-year-old king of Liang, but not who the emperor of the Song Dynasty is.

But Song Qing really didn't want to be an enemy of Yue Fei. Subconsciously, he also thought that since Yue Fei entrusted his mother and son to him, he should also intend to join Liangshan?

It would be great if that was the case. Song and Qing would treat Yue Fei like they did Han Shizhong, give full play to their military talents, let them deal with aliens exclusively, and exalt the prestige of our great Han country outside the region.

As for their own decision, I believe they are also willing to accept it.

I don't know if he sensed Song Qing's urgency, Yue Fei was also rushing to Song Qing's Liangshan Camp with 500 troops, but when he passed by Wu'an, Cizhou, he was caught by something.

Because Wu'an was ransacked by the golden soldiers, the government was still in a paralyzed state, but Yue Fei and the others encountered a court force of about a thousand people here, escorting supplies.

This court team is not going to enter the city, but is going out from the city.It's a bit of a posture that has just been searched and withdrawn.

The golden soldiers have retreated, where are they going?Suspicious, Yue Fei went up to interrogate him, but he didn't expect that the other party directly drew his saber at each other without saying a word.

How could these people be Yue Fei's opponents, but they were scattered by Yue Fei's troops.After Yue Fei caught a prisoner and questioned him carefully, he found out that they turned out to be Tian Hu's subordinates, one of the chief culprits in the chaos in Hebei.And their trip was also ordered by Tian Hu, pretending to be the imperial court, and searched for a batch of grain and grass to send to Tian Hu who was stationed in Shahe.

Wasn't Tian Hu's team dispersed by Song Qing?Why did it appear in Shahe again?
