When a dynasty falls, there will always be people who die for it.
During the Jingkang period, Li Ruoshui, Zhang Shuye and others were like this.
Their reputation is great, and the history books also deserve this reputation.
But among the hundreds of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, even though there were cowardly kings and treacherous ministers in power, they could not be the only ones.
More common people, soldiers, and people from all walks of life sacrificed their lives to resist external humiliation.
These people have little reputation and have been submerged in the tide of history. No one knows their names, but they are real.
Just like the Imperial Guards in front of Li Yunze at this moment, they were once a group of passionate sergeants.
Just once.
Now, these men who wanted to contribute to the country a few years ago have lost their luster under the torture of life.
"I already know about the Imperial Guards in the capital." Looking at the dock coolies, tenant farmers, handicrafts, playing instruments, playing and singing, and restaurant waiters delivering takeaways in front of them, the only thought in their minds is, 'The Zhao Song Dynasty will not be destroyed, it is the law of heaven. Where? '
In the name of sending troops to Xixia, the last warriors among the Forbidden Army were recruited to form the Capital Forbidden Army.
But the result was that the interests of all parties were harmed. Then with the joint efforts of everyone, the treacherous minister Cai Jing could not hold on and had to give up.
However, these Imperial Guards have lost their military status. Without their salaries, they can only rely on work to survive in the expensive Bianliang City.
Originally, he was passionate about serving his country and killing the enemy, but in the end, his wife and children almost starved to death.
The guards in front of them all looked at Li Yunze without any emotion, only with endless indifference.
Li Yunze understood the thoughts of these people very well, so he did not make any passionate or impassioned speech.
Because he knew it was all nonsense, he simply served the hard food.
"Fifty guan settlement allowance for each person." Li Yunze waved his hand, and Yang Zhi and others quickly opened the large boxes on the carriage, which were all filled with copper coins strung together.
After seeing so much money, everyone who had been extremely indifferent before immediately changed their colors.
They lived too hard and were so poor that they were about to starve to death.
At this time, they are willing to work hard for whoever gives them money to support their families.
Li Yunze waved, "If you are willing to accompany me on the expedition against thieves, please come and sign up."
The crowd suddenly roared, and everyone rushed forward, and the scene fell into chaos.
The imperial troops borrowed from Taiwei Chen came forward and smashed them with their whistle sticks, and finally managed to maintain order.
"Capital Commander." Yang Zhi came over and asked worriedly, "The imperial court only gave a quota of 10,000 people..."
"Although it is abandoned, it is, after all, the home of the Imperial Guards who have received training from generation to generation." Li Yunze clicked on the photo to form more than ten long lines, and registered the people who received the settlement allowance in front of the copywriters. "And he has been doing manual labor for a long time, and his physical fitness is only as long as Naturally, I can keep up with nutrition. I’m also very familiar with all kinds of ordnance.”
"The most important thing." Turning to look at Yang Zhi, Li Yunze said with an undiminished smile, "They were poor, so poor that they almost starved to death. So as long as they are given enough benefits, they will be brave warriors on the battlefield."
Yang Zhi, who had already noticed Li Yunze's ambition, opened his mouth and could only say, "But the court..."
"Ten thousand regular soldiers will be shown to the court, ten thousand auxiliary soldiers will be asked by Lieutenant Chen to help with the procedures, and another twenty thousand civilians will be recruited. There is no need to say anything about this." Li Yunze made arrangements quickly. Fei, they are all treated as regular soldiers. When reporting, you should find someone to watch if you write brilliantly. Understand? "
"The general will finally understand." Naturally, he was already well versed in this kind of fooling around with the higher-ups.
The benefits of Li Yunze's infiltration into the Song Dynasty gradually became apparent. Not only could he have a secret love affair with the Emperor in an open and honest manner, but he could also easily gain leverage over the Song Dynasty.
You must know that the imperial court only gave half of the food and salary to these forbidden troops, and it was only given for three months!
For Li Yunze, who is not short of money and food, this is simply like using a pole to stuff soldiers and horses into his arms!
After leaving, Li Yunze did not rush to find his sister to discuss Taoism. Instead, he took Shi Xiu to Fan Lou for a banquet.
This time it was his treat, and the guests he entertained were the arsenal manager and several managers.
The best wine and food banquet, the best singing and music.
When he was drunk, Li Yunze motioned to Shi Xiu to deliver the gift.
He doesn't like any fancy work and has always been straightforward, relying on his strength to speak loudly.
Therefore, when giving gifts, there were no jewelry or jade, but boxes of gold bars. After opening the box, the entire box seemed to be enveloped in golden light.
The civil and military skills of Huizong's dynasty had long since deteriorated.
As long as the gifts are in place, nothing can't be done, not to mention that Li Yunze's request for arsenal and military supplies is a serious matter.
Several arsenal managers accepted the gifts with gleaming eyes and patted their chests, promising to take whatever they wanted for as much as they wanted.
Li Yunze was not interested in anything else. He had plenty there, and the quality was better.
The reason why he made such a trip, in addition to the necessary procedures, the most important thing is that he is very interested in the famous walking armor and divine arm bow.
I got it once before and said it was good after using it.
This time, Li Yunze very simply sent people to move all the infantry armor and divine arm bows from the arsenals and warehouses inside and outside Bianliang City.
By the evening of the next day, he was still in this building, or even in this box.
Li Yunze was still entertaining guests, but this time the guests were replaced by a group of military generals.
Among them were Baoyi, the defensive envoy of Bu Si Yamen, known as Xuan Zan of Chou Commandery Ma, the instructor of the Golden Spear Squadron of the Forbidden Army, and Xu Ning, the Golden Spear General. The deputy gunner of Jia Zhanku blasted the sky with thunder and lightning.
The commander of the capital of Runing Prefecture, who was recruited, shouted Yanzhuo with two whips. Chenzhou regiment training envoy, Yum general Han Tao. Yingzhou regiment training envoy, Tianmu general Peng Qi and others.
Hu Yanzhuo and others are close to each other and are already fighting against Wang Qing of Huaixi. Li Yunze can mobilize them to enter the capital soon.
As for Guan Sheng and others, the distance is too far and we can wait until we get over.
Facing the military generals, Li Yunze acted openly and did not play any tricks, let alone talk nonsense in a foggy manner.
It was very straightforward to pay the gold bar first, and then he was appointed an official and made a wish, "Have a good life following the leader of this city, and after wiping out the bandits, you will naturally gain fame and fortune."
This is what the generals are pursuing, and this time it is the righteousness of the imperial court, so naturally there will be no shirk.
All the generals expressed their opinions one after another, saying, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Commander, we will be able to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
After finishing these things, he went to visit the prince Zhao Huan and said, "We can start trouble when I come back." '
I visited Zhao Kai, King of Yun, and said, "When I come back, I will help you win the crown prince's position." '
Master Li, who respects his teacher and respects his teachings, worked hard and worked hard to reciprocate, said, "We will continue our relationship when I come back." '
We had a tryst with Emperor Roufu on the top of the mountain, and she held on to the stone table and promised vigorously, "When I come back, I will propose marriage to the official." '
He asked Zhao Fujin to meet him and gave him the last volume of the Dream of Red Mansions book, saying with deep affection, "You are mine and no one can take it away from you." '
As for the farewells between Chen Zongshan, Chen Taiwei, and Cai Jing and Cai You's father and son, there is no need to say more.
After walking around in a big circle, I have finished all these things.
On the day when the troops were officially dispatched, no heavyweights came to see them off.
"I know that the Song Dynasty valued culture over military affairs, but this is too slight. When the army goes on an expedition, two or three kittens come to send each other off?"
The Song Dynasty of this era was an era when the power of scholar-bureaucrats reached the extreme and force was suppressed to the extreme.
As for the result, it is clearly written in the history books.
If it weren't for the indiscriminate killing and plundering of the savages, Zhao Jiumei would not be able to support the Song Dynasty, which was abandoned by the people, let alone the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In contrast, the Tartars learned their lesson. After entering the pass, they let the surrendered Ming army take the lead, while they pretended to do it. As a result, they successfully destroyed Nanming, who was also abandoned by the people.
"Taiwei." The Deputy Privy Council member who came to see him off stepped forward and saluted and explained, "Today is the day when the imperial examination results will be released, and everyone has gone to see the results."
"Haha~~~"
Li Yunze chuckled a few times and said no more. He waved his hands to the people in the Privy Council and quickly rode off.
Ten thousand regular soldiers, ten thousand auxiliary soldiers, 20,000 civilians, plus Hu Yanzhuo and others' respective troops and horses, the 40,000-strong army headed straight to the west of Beijing in a mighty manner.
Let's go to the west of Beijing first, and obviously we want to take the first shot at Song Jiang from Liangshanbo.
Song Jiang became the boss of Liang Shanbo because Li Yunze arranged it behind the scenes.
According to rumors, Song Jiang was covered by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl, and had a halo to protect his body. Song Jiang made a big fuss in Jiangzhou and attracted a large number of subordinates and minions who bowed to him.
After that, he did not start his business in Jiangzhou, and also rejected the olive branch extended by Wang Qing of Huaixi and Jiangnan La.
As if someone was guiding him in the dark, he led a group of younger brothers to conquer the prefectures and counties and return to Dongping Mansion.
Li Yunze left troops in Dongping Mansion, led by Shuangqiang Dong Ping and Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, to block Song Jiang's entry.
Later, King Chao Gai and Chao Tianwang, who had an unfavorable fight with Lin Chong on Liangshan Mountain, took the initiative to contact Song Jiang and asked him to come up the mountain.
Lin Chong and others who received Li Yunze's instructions did not stop him. After Song Jiang went up the mountain, they actively supported him, allowing him to surpass Chao Gai and become the top spot in Liangshan.
Under the activities of both internal and external parties as well as Li Yunze, Song Jiang, who had just taken the top spot, inexplicably became one of the four famous bandits in the world.
But in fact, the only troops Song Jiang could really mobilize on Liangshan were his direct descendants.
Whether it's Lin Chong's group or Chao Gai's group, each has its own camp and does its own thing.
In order to enhance his prestige and strength, so as to annex Lin Chong, Chao Gai and others, Song Jiang continued to attack cities and territories everywhere, but failed everywhere and provoked many enemies.
When Li Yunze's army arrived in the west of Beijing, local powerful people from all over the country who had enmity with Song Jiang felt that the death of Shiji Yu had come, and hurriedly brought their villagers and tenants to support him.
Such as Lijiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang and so on.
Upon learning that the imperial army had arrived, Song Jiang hurriedly summoned the leaders in the Juyi Hall to discuss countermeasures.
"You have something to say." Black Tornado Li Kui had a hot temper and shouted on the spot, "It doesn't matter how many times he comes, just kill him."
For this kind of brainless person, everyone just glanced at him and just thought it was a wild dog barking on the roadside.
Tens of thousands of troops are standing there for you to cut down, and you won't be able to finish them all even if they are exhausted.
"Tieniu." Song Jiang, who was sitting in the top spot, waved his hand for Li Kui to step aside. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
Then he looked sincerely at Chao Gai and Lin Chong, who were silent, and said sincerely, "Two brothers, I, Liangshan, have reached the point of life and death. I hope that everyone can put aside their past grudges and deal with it together."
Chao Gai sneered in his heart, but nodded repeatedly on his face, "Brother said, that's exactly what it should be."
Lin Chong and others, who were undercover there, didn't even say a word.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be united, Song Jiang nodded with satisfaction and then told his own response strategy.
"The officers and soldiers who came from far away do not know the nature of water, so they will not be able to reach our Liangshan Mountains. However, we lack food, grass and military supplies, so we need to strengthen our reserves before the officers and soldiers attack."
"Appreciate further details."
"Let's go to Zhujiazhuang!"
