The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 227

Song Jiang didn't choose to show off by himself. As the coach of Nanzheng, he has made great achievements in battle. He didn't even appear in the first echelon to enter the city.

Private soldiers from the royal family of Dali surrounded their last emperor and walked in the front.

The people of Bianliang all cheered and shouted, as if welcoming a hero back to the city, followed by the victorious army. This forbidden army personally selected by Yang Lin first wiped out Fang La, and then marched south to Dali, which saved a little for the weak reputation of the forbidden army. dignity.

The children of the Forbidden Army family on both sides waved their fists and shouted, facing their familiar friends and brothers.

The common people greeted them for no less than ten miles, and followed them all the way to Bianliang City. Duan Zhengchun saw a high-ranking official on a high platform on the outskirts of the city from a distance, so he got off his horse and led the royal family forward.

Behind him, Wang Chaoli smiled and said, "Master Duan, this is Yang Lin, the young governor of our Great Song Dynasty."

Duan Zhengchun's expression changed, in the Dali army, those generals, one Yang Shaozai, never thought they were so young.

He has not dedicated his country yet, he is still the lord of Dali, the king of Fanbang, and he was treated as a prince in Song Dynasty.

And Yang Lin is the envoy, and Kaifeng Fuyi Tong Sansi, according to the rules, is treated the same as the prince.As for Cai Jing, that was Zaifu. The prince had to salute and make way for him when he saw him.

Yang Lin didn't put on airs, he smiled and performed a junior salute, saying: "My lord, you have worked hard all the way. I have the authority to welcome the arrival of the lord on behalf of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty. Your Majesty has hosted a banquet in the palace for the lord. Take the wind and wash away the dust."

What kind of person is Duan Zhengchun? When he forbears, he is as humble as an old eunuch. After the eruption, he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of bloody people. He hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Where is there? I am so flattered by Yang Shaozai to welcome you from afar. If you don't give up on Shaozai, we will be brothers." yes."

Yang Lin didn't change his face, but the guards around him all looked weird. After seeing the upright Shao Zai without any disturbance, he secretly admired Shao Zai's determination.

With Yang Lin's order, gun salutes were fired in the outskirts of Bianliang, and the emotions of the people were pushed to the peak, and a group of people among the colorful flowers rushed to the city.

At this time, Song Jiang chased up from behind and saw Yang Lin grinning.

After Yang Lin looked closely, his confidant became more and more dark, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Gongming, you have worked hard."

"It's a pity that it didn't work out!"

Chapter 271 How many people in the world are clear

When the country was founded, Qian Hongchu, the king of Wuyue, "acquired the land and returned it to the Song Dynasty".

Song Taizong canonized Qian Hongchu successively as King Huaihai, King Hannan, King Nanyang, King Xu, and King Deng.

The Qian family was extremely honored and favored. Needless to say, rich clothes and fine food, the imperial court also distributed generous rewards to Qian Chu in various names from time to time.

When Qian Hongchu fell ill, Song Taizong, in order to express his condolences, rewarded Qian Chu with "ten thousand taels of platinum, ten million yuan, ten thousand pieces of silk, and a thousand taels of gold utensils, and his son Weijun and Weizhi each ten thousand taels of platinum".

Now that Dali wants to donate land and donate to the country, it is conceivable that the treatment will not be low, but it is impossible to have the kind treatment of rich families.

After all, the Duan family didn't do it voluntarily, but was tricked by Yang Lin. Others didn't know that Zhao Ji knew it clearly.

Dali's demise seems to be a matter of course, and only Yang Lin and Zhao Ji know the twists and turns from the beginning to the end. Of course, these two people will not gossip around, because if the truth is revealed to the world, Song Ting's face is not very decent.

Yang Lin brought Duan Zhengchun into Genyue, and only then did his majesty know that the prosperity of the Song Dynasty was not just talk, and it was within his expectation to go through the south of the Yangtze River by water, but the splendor of Bianliang really shocked the Duan clan. .

When he arrived at Genyue, Duan Zhengchun looked around, there was mist and rainbows, a palace was built near the lake, the layout of pavilions, terraces and pavilions was well arranged, the cornices were upturned, the old trees were verdant, and the environment was quiet.

The essence of the entire Song Dynasty makes this place full of elegance and romance, and the lake is clear and rippling, like a fairyland.

This is the Great Song Dynasty. No wonder for thousands of years, foreign races from abroad have wanted to enter this colorful world in the Central Plains.

After entering Gen Yue's palace, Duan Miaozhen was sitting upright and chatting with the queen in the palace, when she saw her father being brought in by Yang Lin, she burst into tears.

Duan Miaozhen, who was used to the royal family being oppressed by the Gao family, even felt that now is the best time, much better than being emperor in Dali.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Yang Lin secretly gave her a flying eye. Duan Miaozhen smiled through tears, and her smile bloomed like a spring breeze in March.

Everyone's attention was on Duan Zhengchun and Zhao Ji. Duan Zhengchun respectfully paid homage to the emperor and read a set of congratulatory speeches that he had prepared long ago.

Zhao Ji is not completely false, he also has some sympathy for the emperor, everyone is the emperor, you are too miserable

What's more, now that Duan Zhengchun is about to help him achieve a supreme reputation, what a hero Taizu is, the emperor who has been a hundred years since the founding of the country, with great military power and expanded territory, it turns out that I, Zhao Ji, are number one.

Zhao Ji had a great heart, his father and brother were always up and sleeping at night, worrying about state affairs every day, but they didn't get a decent victory.

But since he ascended the throne, he has been eating, drinking, playing, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing cuju and walking horses, but he first destroyed Xixia and then took over Dali.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji smiled and comforted Duan Zhengchun, then turned to look at his lover Yang Lin, only to see his eyebrows beaming and his fingers making strange little movements.

Zhao Ji was baffled, and ignored him, continuing to chat with Duan Zhengchun, completely oblivious to the fact that Princess Dali's face was as bright red as a ripe pomegranate.

Cai You, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, broke into Mingtang in a hurry, where his father Cai Jing worked.

Cai Jing is old, although he is still handsome and handsome, but he is almost seventy years old after all. In order to take care of him, the imperial court authorized Cai Jing to bring his maids into the hall to serve tea and water.

A tall maid was on duty today and was pinching Cai Jing's shoulders attentively. She looked up and saw Cai You who was sweating profusely. She lowered her head and whispered in Cai Jing's ear, "My lord, it's the little scholar Cai who is here."

Cai You glanced left and right, except for his own father, there were no other officials present. As for these maids, they were like utensils of the Cai family, so they moved closer and said mysteriously: "Father, you have heard that the Jurchens rebelled , only 500 people, killed [-] Liao soldiers in Huanglong Mansion, throwing away their helmets and armor, and made them all prisoners."

Cai Jing raised his head and said with a smile: "Except for His Majesty the Emperor of Khitan, who else in the world doesn't know about it? My father naturally knows, what do you think?"

Cai You leaned closer to the table, waved the maid away, and said, "Father, it's an open secret that Liang Shicheng and others conspired to attack Yan. No one in the Manchu Dynasty knew about it. Now that Daliao is so weak, Jurchen is so small, Cuoer Xiaobang can still kill them like mowing grass and wheat, not to mention our Song Dynasty with millions of elite soldiers and thousands of good generals. I think the matter of cutting down swallows is a certainty.

What an honor it is to kill swallows, how can we let Liang Shicheng be more beautiful than before, why not hurry up and ask the officials, let us preside over the grand plan of cutting swallows! "

Cai Jing stroked his beard, his eyes suddenly became serious, and he asked, "What do you think our Great Song Dynasty's chances of winning against Yan are?"

"Ten percent! One hundred percent! Ten thousand percent! Dad, 10 people can't beat [-]. What kind of soldiers are they, who can still defend our Song army? The Western army can fight, let them go, although these people say She took care of Yang Lin, but Yang Lin's name was not engraved on it. After all, they are soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty. If a group of soldiers have any opinions, as long as we preside over it, the credit will not fall into the hands of others.

His son was conscripting Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River, and he had some experience in methods. He was willing to go to Hebei to take command and supervise the war. "

Cai Jing suddenly laughed out loud: "You also know soldiers?"

"Father, why do you underestimate the child? Although the son is no better than Sun Wu, he still has some confidence in destroying Liao."

Destroy Liao?Cai Jing sneered from the bottom of his heart. He and Yang Lin had a long talk. Khitan seemed to be suffering from all kinds of illnesses and was extremely weak. He was destroyed in one attack, but what about Song?

The hall is full of civil and military officials, in this boundless and magnificent Bianliang, who can open their eyes to see the whole picture of the entire empire.

There is more than one Daliao who is weak.

The Great Song Dynasty was indeed rich, and there were many wealthy families who were as rich as an enemy country.It's just that a large amount of wealth is deposited in the private sector or in official and wealthy business families, and it is difficult to mobilize it, as if there is nothing.Now the empire is redundant with officials and soldiers, the system is collapsing, and the hearts of the people are weak. Only those who can see the prosperity of the paper will worry about it.

The local bureaucrats alone have tens of millions of salaries, while the salaries of the Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army have all flowed into the private pockets of the generals. The annual fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty is close to [-] million Guan, which far exceeds that of the Tang Dynasty, but it can no longer support the empire. operation.

Regardless of the strength of the Xiangbing soldiers and the imperial army, it is even a bit difficult to maintain the law and order of the place.

In the extravagance and decadence of the Song Dynasty, apart from being in the west because of Xixia, there are barely a few generals who can be used.The military officials of the entire Song Dynasty have been raised and disabled. They have no blood and courage, no ability, no generals in the country, and even Tong Guan can be top-notch.A few of the civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats who keep saying they want to share the world with the king still have the bearing and ability of great Confucianism.Except for the first-class ability of the party to seize power, it is simply useless.

Fortunately, there is Daliao, a big country with the same disease, lingering in the northern border, maintaining the stability of the border.

Recklessly attacking Yan hastened the demise of this neighbor. How could the newly-emerged ferocious alien race stop, no matter which one they won, they would definitely go south.In the long river of time, there are a few grassland overlords who are not greedy for the prosperity of the Central Plains.
