Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 2

After Chengying Ying signed a peace treaty with the Communist Party, the two marching Sima used the fastest military mail to send the top to the General's Mansion.Immediately afterwards, the copy of the peace treaty was placed on the royal case of His Majesty Linquan Palace.

"A solitary brigade changed the situation in Liaodong, recruiting tens of thousands of people, playing a pivotal role, and convincing distant countries. Both Prince Bowang Hou and Captain Zhao have not disappointed me." Chen Xuan read the terms of the peace treaty one by one, with a look on his face He suddenly became stiff, and his gratified smile turned into a wry smile. He tapped his fingers on the last sentence of the treaty and said, "The Japanese soldiers plundered a lot of 'women' in the Han territory, and now most of them are 'women', so they cannot return them to the Han army." , with fifty pairs of singers and beauties as compensation." He took off his eyes between the bridge of his nose, raised his head and said with a smile, "Captain Zhao is a gentleman in this generation, this article must have been drawn up by the Prince Bowanghou."

"Exactly." Zhang Shanfu smiled, and he took out another document from his sleeve, which was the observation report of the Military Intelligence Department on the situation in Liaodong. "The Eighth Battalion of Chengying recruited two battalions of garrison soldiers in Liaodong in the name of the Han army, and the army has expanded to more than a thousand people. It established the Brotherhood of Volunteering and won the hearts of Liaodong. It also started to smelt iron in Fenghuang Mountain, forge weapons and farm tools, and cut wood. Going out to sea, the Supply Ordnance Division made sea-going ships in exchange for money to buy food from the Central Plains. The Eighth Battalion also issued land and house deeds to the Liaodong people who left their homeland. Last month, they conquered Laiyuan City in one fell swoop and conquered the Communist Party. Lieutenant Zhao is quite popular in Liaodong for a rare victory in the army." He took a sip of tea and said, "The Military Intelligence Department is a little worried that the power of the Eighth Battalion is expanding rapidly in Liaodong. If this trend continues, the future It is possible to grow beyond the strength of the first army, and it is even possible to separate Liaodong..." He paused, afraid that His Majesty misunderstood the position of the Army Division, and added with a smile, "A tree is as beautiful as a forest, and the wind will destroy it. Cheng Ying The battalion has made such a big commotion in Liaodong, so it is no wonder that the Military Intelligence Department speculates that there are some gossips in the Huguo Mansion."

The Military Intelligence Division doubts everything. Although Zhang Shanfu does not agree with such unreasonable guesses, the Marching Army Division is responsible for the overall situation, and it is necessary to report the opinions of each military division truthfully. will also be mentioned.Zhao Xingde was recommended by him with all his strength, and Zhang Shanfu was determined not to let these rumors disturb the situation in Liaodong.Telling these rumors from him first can eliminate the destructive power of groundless suspicion to the greatest extent.

"Separate Liaodong?" Chen Xuan was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "I have no doubts about employing people, I can trust the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers." He thought for a while, and then said, "Looking at the current situation in Liaodong, the soldiers of the Chengying Battalion will be able to do so within three to five years. I am afraid that none of them will be able to return to the country. There is no such thing as a proton in my court. The military commander can ask the sergeants in Liaodong in writing. If they are willing, the family members of the soldiers can go to Liaodong for reunion. Yes, on behalf of me, I encourage the soldiers to do a great job in Liaodong, as long as they have military merits, they will be granted titles and marquises, and I will not begrudge you."

Zhang Shanfu smiled and nodded. "In the Huguo Mansion, I'm afraid there are some short-sighted people who are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and criticize Li Zhao Er Lieutenant." He hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid your majesty will need to support them at that time."

Chen Xuan was taken aback, but didn't agree immediately. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery of Shouchangze.Zhang Shanfu followed behind and saw Chen Xuan's hands clasped behind his back. After a while, His Majesty sighed and said in a deep voice: "The captain of the Huguofu is the essence of the whole country. If they even have this He doesn’t have knowledge and tolerance, and he’s talking about running Liaodong and unifying the world.” He turned his head and gave Zhang Shanfu a meaningful look, and said slowly, “Let’s wait and see how the Huguofu will deal with it.”

In the Jinhui Ningfu, Wure, the envoy of Liaoyang, respectfully stepped back from the emperor's golden tent and came out.On behalf of Xiao Suxian, who stayed behind in Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom, he defeated Wanyan Agu. Just now, he tried his best to persuade His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom to send troops to the south to take Liaoyang directly. Xiao Suxian gathered the old troops of the Bohai Kingdom to respond.The two joined forces to drive the Khitan forces out of Liaodong.Of course, Uge knew in his heart that this was just a clever trap.Even though Wanyan Aguda was old, his mind was very meticulous. Apart from comforting Wure with kind words and asking him to show his friendliness to Xiao Suxian, he also asked in detail about the distribution of troops in Liaoyang, how many Khitan people, Bohai people, and Han people were there. Food and grass reserves, Bohai people's support, and even Xiao Suxian's appearance, character, children, and the most trusted subordinates who stayed behind in Tokyo.The meeting in the emperor's tent lasted for more than an hour. Wure was deeply afraid of arousing Wanyan Aguda's suspicion, so he revealed all these issues without daring to hide anything.

"This old fox, it's no wonder that he can unify the various ministries of Shengjurchen under the noses of the Khitan people." Wu Zexin slandered, but still had a respectful expression on his face, and returned to the tent where he lived with two entourages. .Along the way, from time to time, he pretended to be nonchalant and looked at the Jurchen soldiers and horses.The people camping around Wanyan Aguda Emperor's Tent are the elite Meng'an of the Wanyan tribe. They have gone through many battles since the beginning of the army.It's just that he looks ferocious and savage, and behaves rudely. Except for a sentence or two of Chinese, most of his mouth speaks barbaric language that is really ugly.People from Bohai admired the culture of the Central Plains for a long time, and a family like Wure was no less educated than the scholars in the Central Plains. Although he was a little afraid of these Jurchen barbarians, he still secretly looked down on them.

Returning to the tent with such caution, Ure breathed a sigh of relief, and put a hanging heart into his stomach. Just as he opened the curtain, he saw a person sitting in the tent, looking at him and saying with a smile : "The eldest family has lived in Shangjing for a long time, and Xiao Suxian is the uncle of the country. The so-called proposal of the Bohai people to restore the country is probably a trap to lure snakes out of their holes."

This person spoke in a gentle tone, even a little slow, and the voice was not loud, but it fell into Wure's ears like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. The three souls lost their seven souls, and they almost thought that the Jurchen had seen through the trick. Wanyan Agu played with it calmly, and now he is about to arrest himself and behead him.He stood upright, looking at the speaker's appearance.This person is dressed in a green robe of the Han people, his hair is in the style of the Central Plains, he has a beard on his lips, and his eyelids are a little swollen, like a subordinate official from Shangjing who has buried his head in the file for many years, his eyes are cloudy, but his eyes are like knives , staring at people cold all over.

A mocking smile emerged from the corner of Mr. Han Da's mouth. He was actually just guessing, but he immediately found out the details of the Liaoyang envoy.He was ordered by Wanyan Aguda to test the envoy, although Ure didn't say a word, but his dead face betrayed him.It's just the emissary of the fallen Bohai people, and there's no need to make it so clear.

"Your envoy has something on his mind, so I won't take the liberty to bother you anymore." Mr. Han Da stood up easily, shook his sleeves, and gave the Bohai native a pitiful look.As long as he walked out of the tent and greeted casually, the Bohai man would be arrested and punished by being trampled by horses according to the detailed rules.

Wu Re was in a catastrophe, his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice valley, and his hands and feet were stiff. When Mr. Han Da passed by his side, that mocking smile was very clear.Suddenly, this smiling face overlapped with a certain figure in Wure's mind. He seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw, and shouted: "Mr. Han Da, Mr. Han Da, please stay, I have something to say next." explain."

Han Kuang didn't expect that this Bohai native would recognize him, so he couldn't help but slow down, bit Wure strangely, and said in a deep voice, "What else do you want to say?" His eyes and tone seemed to be asking Lin. It's the same as the last words of the dead.

At this time, Wure had fully understood his situation, his whole body was trembling, his teeth were chattering, but he mustered up all his hopes, and said in a low voice: "This villain is on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, and His Majesty specially ordered that if you meet King Jin The descendants of the descendants, let the villain say something, it was the demon queen who was responsible for adopting the children of the Yelu royal family to the rebellious ministers of the Han family, Mr. Da, the time has come to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan."

These words were originally a deep secret, but in order to save his life, Ure spoke out like a cannonball.This time, it was Mr. Han Da's turn to be shocked. His ancestors were indeed from the Yelu royal family. Back then, the Empress Dowager Chengtian loved Han Derang, but she didn't like Han Derang's son Han Chang, so she adopted the Yelu royal family's children to Han Derang as stepson, and Arranged for this adopted son Zhubu to take over the power of the Han family in Nanjing Road, but Han Chang, the clinker, was not an ordinary person. He was not annoyed that he was excluded in Nanjing Road, and he took a group of young subordinates who were loyal to him away from Tokyo Road. The heartland of the Liao Kingdom created a large piece of foundation, and it was too big to lose, so that the army rebelled later.After the change of Han Chang, the adopted descendants of the Nanjing Dao family who were implicated were actually the blood of the Yelu royal family.

This strange and bizarre life experience was originally a secret known to only a few people in the Han family. Since the monarch of the Communist Party of China accepted the benefits of the Khitan people and sent all the descendants of the Han family who had taken refuge to the Liao Kingdom for execution, Mr. Han Da thought that there was no one in the world. No one knows.Who would have thought that such a big secret would be uttered from a Bohai population, so why didn't he be shocked and inexplicable.

Seeing that Han Kuang's face was uncertain, Wu Re called out in a low voice, "Mr. Big, Mr. Big."

Han Kuang suddenly frightened his mind, his eyes showed the ferocious light of a beast that stepped into a trap, stared at Wure, and said in a deep voice: "What does your envoy mean? Han doesn't understand at all." He had veins on his hands Bi Lu took a step closer to Wure, with a horrifying expression on his face, as if he was about to strike at him immediately.

Wu Re is also considered a hero among the people of Bohai. At this time, he was so frightened that his whole body went limp. He had no intention of resisting at all, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, when the Imperial Academy looked through the genealogy of the Yelu family, it was only when I found out that Mr. Da was actually Yelu family. The legacy of the royal family, Mr. Da, as long as you nod your head, you will be an incomparably noble descendant of King Jin. Mr. Da...
