Compete for the Song Dynasty

Zhao Zhongzhen was a little puzzled, but he seemed to understand.He knew that neither the father nor the king would harm him, but he didn't understand why these two people were incompatible.I don't know if I can be the emperor in the future, but if I become the emperor, I can do a lot of things.Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongzhen nodded.Whether Wang Pang holds military power or not doesn't seem to matter now, and he wants Wang Pang to assist him, just like the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty, none of them was able to hold military power.

Seeing Zhao Zhongzhen nod his head, Yingzong finally felt relieved. Da Song is not afraid of foreign enemies now, because there are soldiers that cannot be consumed, and he is afraid of civil strife.But the more he is afraid of something, the more he will come~!A few days after Zhao Zhongzhen's return, the Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang suddenly retreated and asked to see him.Song Yingzong Zhao Shu announced the prime minister to the Chuigong Hall. Zeng Gongliang dragged a tray with a few books on it, and stood there with his head down, waiting for Yingzong.

He was surprised, did this book really appear?And it also appeared in the Prince's Mansion of Handong County.How is this going?

Zhao Shu walked into the Chuigong Hall, saw the Prime Minister standing there in a daze with a tray, and the Emperor sat down on the throne, so he coughed.The prime minister looked up, Zhao Shu was looking at him with a thin face, and hurriedly offered the tray in his hand: "My lord, the book you asked the king to look for has been found."

"Oh?" Zhao Shu was also taken aback. He picked up a book and looked at it. It didn't matter, but he sat up straight after reading it. [

In the volumes collected earlier in "Wu Jing Zong Yao", there are only catalogs. Although the content can still be found in "Guang Bei Siege Works" (Song Dynasty Arsenal), why was it not included in the volumes at that time?And once these contents are spread out, it will be a big loss in the military.Before Qin Minxue revealed the contents of the book to himself, Zhao Shu hadn't read it carefully, and he was shocked when he saw it today.In the book, how to make all kinds of gunpowder, rockets, and poisoned gunpowder, the distance of fire attack in siege and defense, and the range of rocket equipment for defending the city are outlined here in great detail.

"Good book! Really good book! Prime Minister Zeng, the former emperor ordered you to compile this book, which can be said to have collected all the military equipment of the Great Song Dynasty. How did this kid next to Wang find this book?!"

Zeng Gongliang was sweating. If it was found out that it was missed in the past, then his own responsibility would be great.But now since it is not a missing compilation, he is still very nervous, because it concerns the emperor's own brother: "Report to the emperor, this book was found in the Prince's Mansion of Handong County."

"The county prince's mansion? What does the county prince leave this book for?!" Zhao Shu couldn't help asking.

Zeng Gongliang stepped back, and then Qin Minxue arrived.Zhao Zongmian's attitude towards him was simply too bad. Qin Minxue made an unannounced visit to Shaozhou for a few days and found out that the king of the county had contacted the soldiers of the two groups in Guangnan.Now he didn't care about looking for King Ying anymore, so he hurried back to the capital.

Hearing this news, Zhao Shu was taken aback. It turned out that his younger brother was rebellious!

"Did you see Wang Pang in Shaozhou?" In order to confirm that Wang Pang found the book from the county palace, Yingzong Zhao Shu asked.

Qin Minxue wasn't angry if he didn't mention this matter, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the emperor, so he could only say: "I see, he was taken to the county palace and left there by the prince. It seems that the prince Appreciate him."

Unexpectedly, Yingzong laughed after hearing this. Sure enough, this kid still has a heart. This also proves two points. The first county king has made preparations; the second king still cares about the court.

Things always happened one after another. Zhao Shu was thinking about how to deal with the county king's problem when he was summoned by the empress dowager.Probably it was another matter of urging the establishment of the crown prince. This time Zhao Shu had an idea. He had evidence of Zhao Zongmian's misconduct in his hand, but it was just a question of whether to tell the empress dowager now.

Zhao Shu didn't expect that before he said anything, the Empress Dowager sighed: "King Ying is still very sensible, and he came to see me when he recovered from his illness. I think the emperor should establish a prince as soon as possible, so as to calm people's hearts."

Why did the empress dowager suddenly change her tone?Are you testing yourself?Zhao Shu hurriedly said: "Mother, King Ying is still young, and now the crown prince..."

Before he finished speaking, the empress dowager said: "The establishment of the crown prince is just to reassure the world, and the crown prince will also have the opportunity to participate in politics. If there are major events in the future, we will not 'disorder'."

Zhao Shu was a little confused by the big turn of the empress dowager's attitude, and this was due to Shi Zhaoxi.It turned out that Wang Pang set up a countermeasure, Jiang Youdao returned to Shaozhou, told the county king what happened in Yongzhou, and reminded the county king to be careful about Shi Zhaoxi.The county king was extremely depressed, found Shi Zhaoxi's fault, beat him dozens of boards and relieved him of his position as the general manager.Shi Zhaoxi had never suffered this loss before, and wrote a letter to the Empress Dowager Cao calling for grievances.The queen mother was very angry, as expected, they were the two brothers who were dug out of the same mold, they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone!It depends on the owner to beat the dog. Zhao Zongmian dared to do this before he became the crown prince. Presumably he will not be an obedient master when he becomes the throne in the future.

Without Shi Zhaoxi by Zhao Zongmian's side, naturally Wang Pang would be missing someone who was always on guard against him. In addition, Jiang Youdao did not dare to confront Wang Pang openly. Wang Pang traveled between Shaozhou and Yongzhou in the name of supervising silver refining. between.In fact, he had already replaced the guards around him with his own people, and Zhao Zongmian had a crush on Wang Pang, so he had no defense against him at all.Wang Pang ordered Wa Zhuang to be in charge of the Guangyuan Gold Mine in general, and Zhe Kejun, Zhang Ping, Han Derong and Wu Ling came in and out by his side.When traveling between states, Wang Pang visited Yu Jing, Sun Mian and others, as well as Nong Jifeng's old friend and Di Qing's old department.

Although Di Qingpingnan and these people were in the same situation back then, the situation is different now.Who doesn't want to live a peaceful and peaceful life?Moreover, Nan Jifeng also has a certain influence in Guangnan, not to mention that the name Wang Pang has long been known by people.

Zhao Zongmian, the king of the county, was fooled by Wang Pang in this way, thinking about sitting on the silver mountain and having a lot of money;And the counselors and shogunate around him can see that he only believes in the king, and no one wants to say more about it.

Such a stay is one year of junior high school. In the third year of Zhiping, Zhao Zhongzhen was officially registered as the prince and changed his name to Zhao Xu.For the sake of his son's stability, Emperor Song Yingzong decided to eradicate future troubles and summoned the county king Zhao Zongmian to Beijing.

When the king of the county heard the news, he immediately worried that all the counselors in the shogunate and the generals in Shaozhou were on guard, ready to stand on their own.He sent people to gather troops from the two prefectures in Guangnan, and they were sent out, but after half a month, only sporadic generals from a few states and [-] soldiers came. [

Yingzhou, Lianzhou and other places closest to Shaozhou have only stepped up their guard, and there has been no movement at all.

In the conference hall of the county prince's mansion, Zhao Zongmian, the county king who was about to proclaim himself emperor, was sitting. He asked with a sullen face, "Why haven't these people come yet?"

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall, and the leader, Wang Pang, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you wait a little longer!"

Jiang Youdao stood up: "Your Majesty, you can't wait any longer. The news that you want to stand on your own has already spread. If the imperial court sends troops, I'm afraid they will come to the city soon."

The king of the county waved his hand: "What are you afraid of? Since ancient times, my Shaoguan has had the reputation of being a man who is in charge of the customs. Now there are more than 1 people in the United Nations! As long as the silver arrives, are you afraid that you will not be able to recruit soldiers? Just keep Shaoguan Zhoucheng, cut off the connection between Guangnan and the imperial court as much as possible, then we will occupy Guangnan and compete for the world."

Wang Bang snickered in his heart, what is so beautiful about an isolated city, I am afraid that once Nan Jifeng's troops arrive, even this isolated city cannot be defended by you.If it weren't for the large number of people in the meeting hall and my guards waiting outside, I would have dealt with you.Forbearance, in order for Nan Jifeng to win Guangyuan, let him take the credit.

Jiang Youdao gave Wang Pang a hard look, knowing that this kid must have messed up, but he didn't dare to say it.The king of the county ordered that Shaozhou be put on alert, the gates of the city were closed, and it was ready to fight against the imperial court.The news spread to the court and shocked the court and the public. Zhao Shu was furious. Not only did his younger brother refuse to accept the order, but he even made trouble.Zhao Shu ordered to send [-] soldiers to the south to quell the matter, and Prince Zhao Xu would like to lead the troops there in person.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked. The prince had such courage at such a young age, not to raise his thumb.

Although Yingzong also cared about Zhao Xu's safety, he knew that it would be difficult for an emperor without achievements to convince the public. This was also an opportunity for Zhao Xu to show off.

Zhao Xu took the order to go south, and was very happy all the way. Is there any joy in fighting?He was very happy, firstly, he had never fought a war, and secondly, he knew in his heart that Wang Pang and Nan Jifeng were in Guangnan to support him, and he would definitely win this battle.As a result, the army arrived at the city of Shaozhou and failed to capture Shaozhou city after three days of attacking. The soldiers lost three or four thousand soldiers, and Zhao Xu was shocked.

This prince, who grew up in a deep house, has never seen gunpowder, war, or corpses everywhere?After a few days, the corpses of soldiers piled up under the city were as high as half a person, and the number of soldiers was reduced by nearly half. Zhao Xu was very anxious in the barracks outside the city: dead again? !Brother Wang, where are you? !Why don't you come and help me soon? !

The king of the county is very proud of the spring breeze in the city, not only that, but the horse came to report, the commander of Lianzhou to the east of Shaozhou led [-] troops to support the king of the county, the commander of Yingzhou to the south of Shaozhou led [-] troops to support the king of the county; Commander Nan Jifeng took a thousand elite soldiers and ten carts of silver to the south gate of Shaozhou City.

Wang Pang also smiled when he heard the news, and Zhao Xu's spirit had almost been dampened in the past three days.We can't let this kid get too proud, first give him a little surprise, now it's time to give him a little surprise.

In Shaozhou City, except for the north front line to guard against the Song army, the east gate and south gate were opened one after another. The commander of Lianzhou Yingzhou and Nan Jifeng came to the county palace one after another.To make a long story short, the soldiers defending the city of Shaozhou were exhausted after days of defending the city, so Wang Pang suggested replacing them with soldiers from Lianzhou and Yingzhou.

That night, the king of the county was hosting a banquet at the mansion to greet everyone, when he suddenly heard the loud fighting outside the city gate, and the sound was getting closer and closer.It turned out that Yu Jing's troops in Lianzhou had opened the city gate and let the Song army enter the city.The soldiers rushed in to report, and the county king was taken aback and was about to get angry.However, he found that there was no one of his own beside him, and there was no other way but to arrest him with nothing.

"Bang Wang, I have treated you well, why are you bullying me?!! I will not let you go~!!!" When Nan Jifeng's knife rested on Zhao Zongmian's neck, Zhao Zongmian shouted angrily.

But the king smiled: "It doesn't matter whether you let me go or not, the important thing is that with my king, Da Song will not be destroyed by you people!"

More than a month later, Wang Pang accompanied the crown prince Zhao Xu, who returned in triumph, back to the capital. After traveling for more than two years, he went south to find gold and silver mines, and forged an alliance with Nan Jifeng to protect Guangyuan.Wang Pang knew that the time for the crown prince to ascend the throne was getting closer, and the road ahead would be more difficult. For Xining's reform, Wang Anshi counted his enemies.Can Wang Pang change the fate of Xining's failed reform and change the poor and weak situation of the Song Dynasty?Can it compete with Daliao, Xixia, and the upcoming Wanyan clan?
