"I am willing to go out of the city with the official family to fight against thieves!"
The next person to go crazy is already there. It's not Zhao Huan, nor Zhao Huan's brother, but Cai You, a minister of the Privy Council.
Cai You followed Tong Guan in the northern expedition to Yanyun and served as deputy envoy. When he arrived at Hejian Mansion, he gave up and did not dare to go further north. This time, he actually wants to go out of the city with Zhao Ji to fight against thieves. Isn't he crazy?
It turns out that this crazy disease is not hereditary, but contagious!
Just when everyone felt a little creepy, Zhao Ji nodded approvingly to Cai You, "Cai Qing is indeed my best friend! But Cai Qing is a scholar who is not good at killing people and is useless in battle. It is better to serve as JD.com's transportation ambassador and concurrently I have ordered Tianfu to raise military pay and supplies for me, and I will take office today!"
What? Cai You is going to be an official in Yingtian Mansion, Nanjing? Shouldn't he be the one who went into battle and died for his country? Why did you leave the dangerous place?
The ministers in the Chongzheng Hall knew something was wrong after thinking about it. It was not a good thing for Yuan Shu to release Ying Tianfu.
But the situation is different now! The Kaifeng Mansion is about to be flooded. The flood doesn't care who the prime minister or the privy council is, and even the official family will be flooded!
"My minister Li Bangyan is willing to serve as the vanguard of the official family and go out of the city to fight against thieves!"
The former Dazai, Li Bangyan, who was demoted one level to become a Young Dazai after Zhang Bangchang won the "consolation prize Dazai", also came to his senses.
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction, "Young Zai is also a scholar, and killing thieves is not what you are good at... I want to set up the Jingdong Army Marshal's Mansion to be responsible for dispatching the troops of King Qin on Kaifeng East Road. You will be the deputy marshal." Come and take up the post! As for the marshal..."
As he spoke, Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan seemed to understand what Zhao Ji meant, and quickly stood up and asked for orders: "Father, I would like to be the marshal of the East Road!"
Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "The overall situation of Kaifeng Mansion cannot be managed by anyone. It is better to let Chen'er go to Yingtian Mansion to be the marshal."
Zhao Chen is the only son of Zhao Huan, and he is a direct descendant. He is only nine years old this year.
"Father, how can Chen'er be a marshal when he is young?" How could Zhao Huan agree? This was an opportunity to escape!
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "We can arrange for a few more important ministers to assist us."
"Father..." Zhao Huan was already a little anxious, and he began to think about whether to mobilize Minzhuang to "retain" his father.
At this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly said to Gao Qiu: "Captain Gao, can all the boats in Jinming Pond be used?"
"It can be used, it can be used..." Gao Qiu asked hurriedly, "Can the officials send troops by boat?"
Zhao Ji waved his hand, "I want to go to Sanshan Bridge to beg the thieves. How can I go by boat? Of course I went on horseback. But if the gold thief jumps over the wall and digs a new embankment that has lasted ten thousand years, Kaifeng Mansion will still be flooded, so I think Let all the boats in the Jinming Pond enter the city and moor on the Wuzhang River for later use."
Zhao Huan's eyes lit up - Dad still has many ways!
As long as there is a boat available, there is no need to worry if the flood hits the city of Kaifeng. The worst is to escape by boat. Moreover, the gold thieves could not have many boats on hand. Their cavalry could also swim to chase the boats, right?
"Father," Zhao Huan said excitedly, "there are many official boats, gang boats, luxurious houses and painted boats in Kaifeng City, which can be used to escape... used to save people!"
"That's right," Zhao Ji said with a smile, "My son has made great progress, so I'll leave this matter to you! You must prepare more ships. The sailors, soldiers, and servants on the ship must be prepared in advance, and you must also prepare money. Money and food to meet the needs of the ship during the voyage."
Zhao Huan nodded repeatedly, but thought in his heart: When you leave, I will transfer your big dragon boat to the lake in Genyue. Then I will live on the boat every day!
Zhao Huan is not the only one who thinks this way. Can someone who is qualified to go to Chongzheng Hall still not be able to get a boat? With a boat, running away is much easier. Even if there is no flood flooding the city, you can still escape by taking the five waterways of Bianshui River, Jinshui River, Wuzhang River, Huimin River, and Cai River!
This time, we can't let the gold thieves surround us anymore... because the reserves and military strength in Kaifeng City are not as good as before. If we continue to be surrounded for a few more months, we will starve to death!
After Zhao Ji used the two "benefits" of using the Marshal's Mansion in Jingdong and escaping by boat, the prince Zhao Huan and his courtiers finally stopped him from escaping. The Taiwei Gao Qiuhe who stayed in Kaifeng Mansion replaced Cai You and took charge. Geng Nanzhong of the Privy Council also began to work hard to mobilize troops and generals for Zhao Ji.
Not to mention, there is still a decent army in Kaifeng City. There are the 2,500 Victory Army infantry that Tong Guan holds tightly in his hands, the 5,000 Forbidden Army cavalry and the 5,000 Forbidden Army infantry that Gao Qiu controls, and the 5,000 Forbidden Army infantry that were tightly controlled by Zhao Ji after Zhao Kai left. The four subordinates of the Imperial City Division command about two thousand and several hundred people.
In addition, there are many military horses in Kaifeng Prefecture, most of which were transferred to Kaifeng Prefecture by Tong Guan from Moutuogang. Li Gang took away more than 10,000 horses when he went on the expedition, and the remaining 10,000 horses were added to the horses belonging to the imperial army and the palace, making a total of more than 10,000 horses. Zhao Ji did not take them all away. He left a small change for his son and took away 10,000 horses. In addition to having two thousand pro-officials and Shengjie army infantry and cavalry, Gao Qiu also asked Gao Qiu to select five thousand from the ten thousand Forbidden Army infantry and cavalry who could still ride.
Therefore, Zhao Ji, an official with a golden helmet and golden armor, accompanied Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, Zhao Shu, Zhao Qi, Zhao Xu, Zhao Yu, Zhao Mo, Zhao Pu, Zhao Di, Zhao Yu, Zhao Zhen and other people on the expedition. When the ministers and princes led the army away from Genyue and walked along Maxing Street towards Jingyang Gate, what the well-informed people of Kaifeng saw were the mighty cavalry and the tall infantry with strong armor!
I don't want to say whether the few "upper army" soldiers who can be selected into the Shengjie Army, the Imperial City Division and the Kaifeng Forbidden Army can fight. It will definitely be seen.
Tens of thousands of people, as tall as water! Even Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji's nine sons from the official family looked tall and strong. They put on their armor and rode on their horses. They looked almost like the "Iron Buddha Butu".
When they originally heard that the officials wanted to personally fight against the gold thieves who were preparing to dig a new embankment that would last ten thousand years, the people in Kaifeng Prefecture thought that their officials had gone crazy!
Now, when I stood on the side of Ma Xing Street and took a look, I realized that their official family seemed to have the ability to go crazy!
The officials of the Song Dynasty were more friendly to the people than the emperors of other dynasties. As long as they were not "sick officials", they would appear on the Donghua Gate Tower during every year and festival, allowing the people of Kaifeng Prefecture to come and visit. Zhao Ji is good-looking, in better health, and particularly likes the young ladies outside the palace, so he has more opportunities to appear in front of others. Many common people had seen him, so they recognized him at that time.
When the official led the large group of people and disappeared from everyone's sight, the voices of discussion gradually started.
"It's really an official family! I saw it with my own eyes outside Li Xingshou's small building..."
"That's right, it's a real official family... I didn't expect that the official family would actually go on a personal expedition!"
"The officials have personally conquered it, so this gold thief should be defeated, right?"
"It's hard to say... There are quite a few people under the leadership of the officials who are from the Forbidden Army. I even recognized quite a few of them. They are all goods with delicate skin and tender flesh that cannot be beaten!"
"Even if we can compete with the golden thief, we won't be able to compete! You have heard that the golden thief is going to dig a new embankment that will last ten thousand years... Then the flood of the Yellow River will rush towards our Kaifeng Mansion!"
"What? We want to dig up the Yellow River...is this true?"
"Of course! Otherwise, how could the officials go on a personal expedition?"
"Yes! In the past two days, the Jinshui River inside and outside Tianbo Gate has been crowded with official boats, canal boats and boats? I heard that many wealthy families have put their families on the boats. If something goes wrong, they will be punished immediately. I can sail out of the city!"
"real?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, go see it yourself!"
I don’t know why, I originally came here to see the imperial commander’s personal expedition, but after watching it, everyone knew that Kaifeng Mansion was about to be flooded!
But now there are no golden soldiers outside Kaifeng Mansion, and there are no floods. Of course, there is easy access... So those Bianliang people who had somewhere to go began to swarm out of the city on the day Zhao Ji left the city.
The group of nobles and officials who were still waiting and watching saw that the officials had left and someone else was taking the lead in running away, so they didn't wait any longer and ran away quickly!
If you don’t run away now, are you still waiting to be drowned by the Yellow River?
