In Zhao Kai's handsome mansion in Chengzi City, Taiyuan Prefecture, people have been coming in droves in the past few days, and they are all heroes from all over the east of the river who have come to seek refuge.
Some of these people, like Zhang Jun, were originally military generals of the Song Dynasty, such as Zhe Yanzhi, who was born in the Zhe family in Fuzhou, Xu Huiyan, who knew the military of Jinning, and the Taiyuan Road Soldiers and Horses Supervisor and the commander of the Jinning Army. Zhi Sun Ang, Hedong Inspector Zhang Hao, Hedong Deputy Envoy Xie Qian, Zhizhi Envoy Sidu Commander Zhang Sizheng and others have all received summons from the so-called Tiance General's Mansion, and all of them are without exception. I was ordered to come to Taiyuan!
Others were local tycoons from Hedong. For example, Wang Yan, the local military attaché in Shangdang County, Longde Mansion, spent all his wealth and raised a team of two to three thousand people, and came to defect to Zhao Kai after he invaded Taiyuan.
There was also a big thief named Wang Shan who was famous in Hedong. He also led three to two thousand people out of the Taihang Mountains and surrendered to Zhao Kai.
In addition, the territories controlled by Zhao Kai's Tiance General's Mansion in Hedong include Taiyuan Prefecture, Fenzhou, Xinzhou, Xianzhou, Ninghua Army, and most of Daizhou (half of the territory in Daizhou is controlled by gold thieves) ), as well as the Pingding Army and other departments, have now begun to clear the land and inspect the land.
Under Zhao Kai's repeated urging, a large number of officials originally belonging to Zhending Mansion and Hebei Shuaisi followed Liu Kai to Hedong. Together with the Hedong officials under Zhang Xiaochun, they began to register "unclaimed land" on the above-mentioned sites, and at the same time investigated Qing has an owner's land - whether it has an owner or not, we have to figure it out! The ownerless land and the original official land will be assigned to Tiance Mansion or Hedong Yingtian Division, waiting for distribution.
Land with owners requires the landowners to take on the responsibility of protecting their homes and the country. In the whole world, could it be the land of the king? On the shore of the land, could it be the ministers of the king?
Therefore, during the process of inspecting the land, another group of heroes were "detected", and they all joined Zhao Kai's Tiance Army.
Can heroes really be "detected" in the Hedong inspection area?
of course!
At least in the northeastern part of the river in the Song Dynasty, there were still many heroes!
The reason for this is of course related to the imperfection of the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty and the fact that Hedong has been on the front line against the Liao and Xia for a long time.
Anyone who knows the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty knows that there were no two levels of honors in the Song Dynasty: scholar and scholar. Although there are also claims to be a scholar and a scholar, these are not officially recognized honors. The former is what the people themselves say, and scholars can call it a scholar. The latter is a one-time qualification for passing the local examination. The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was roughly divided into two levels: the local examination and the central examination. If you pass the examination, you will be qualified to participate in the examination organized by the imperial court, and you can be called a candidate. However, this kind of juren will be gone after passing the national examination. If you pass the exam, you will be a Jinshi. If you fail, you will go home and continue studying... Such a juren, of course, will not have any political or economic privileges.
In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination did not distinguish between regions, and there was no north-south list. Scholars from all over the country gathered together to take the exam, and whether they passed or not depended entirely on the quality of their articles (theoretically), which was fair... But places like Shaanxi, Hedong, and Hebei were located at the forefront and had poor economies. No matter how developed a place is, it will be at a huge disadvantage. Every time after the meeting, the bottom three who want to get a scholarship are almost among these three and the east and west roads of Guangnan.
However, Hedong, Shaanxi, and Hebei, which suffered losses in the imperial examination route, took advantage of the military merit route... Since they are close to the front line, there are many opportunities to serve as soldiers, and they will naturally have the opportunity to be promoted through meritorious service and become a general. Also many. Therefore, in Hedong, Hebei, and Shaanxi, there is still a considerable amount of martial and warlike atmosphere.
In addition, all the Hedong Prefecture troops controlled by Zhao Kai's Tiance General's Mansion were ravaged by gold thieves. Among them, Taiyuan Prefecture, Fenzhou, Xinzhou, Xianzhou, Ninghua Army, Daizhou, etc. were also ravaged by gold thieves. After ravaging for several months, a large number of cities were broken, and a large number of people were either killed and plundered or fled on their own!
The population has been greatly reduced, and of course the land has been largely deserted. So when you leave Taiyuan City and look around, it is really desolate!
However, there are also some tyrannical people who can survive the iron heel of the Jin soldiers. They either gathered together to build a fortress and defend it, or gathered a group of relatives and friends to occupy the mountains and valleys.
No matter how you survive...even if you give the gold thieves some food and cloth to beg for mercy (being able to beg for mercy means that they are not easy to destroy, otherwise wouldn't it be better to capture them all and become slaves?), then that's fine. It has fulfilled its duty to protect the people.
For these people, Zhao Kai regarded them as "heroes" worth winning over. As long as they are willing to send some strong men to serve in the army according to the amount of land, their possession of the land will be recognized, and according to the number of soldiers they will send out, they will be given tax exemptions and exemptions according to the standards of archers in the camp.
Some "heroic leaders" with many provocations also obtained official positions from Zhao Kai. These days, they have been bringing their children and servants to Kaifeng Mansion to see King Yun Zhao Kai one after another. After the meeting, you can't leave right away. You have to go to the commander's mansion in Taiyuan City in shifts to listen to His Highness Prince Yun's reasoning... about the principles of conquering the world and sharing the world?
Although Zhao Kai seems a little crazy and reckless at first glance, maybe a little bit more. But after all, he is a young man of the new century who has been educated by D for many years, and in this life he is the "Number One Scholar" who is proficient in Confucian principles, so he is really willing to reason with others...provided that the other party is willing Listen carefully to his reasoning and be able to reason reasonably.
During these days in Taiyuan, Zhao Kai, in addition to urging his subordinates to carry out land clearing and land inspection and to train and reorganize the army, was busy talking to the civil and military officials below about the principles of conquering the world and sharing the world!
...
"Taiwei Zhang, you are a famous and brave general of the Western Army. As soon as the king heard that you came to Taiyuan Mansion, he immediately asked me to take charge of the post office and announce that you, Taiwei Yang and Taiwei Tian will go to see you... .Probably I had a heart-to-heart talk with the three of them!"
While talking to Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, and Tian Shizhong, and leading them to walk in the Taiyuan Commander's Mansion, it was Zhao Kai's Sima Chen Ji.
Confessing your heart?
As soon as Zhang Jun heard this, his mind started to spin... Do you want me to participate in the persuasion? I can be more positive about this!
Chen Ji then ordered: "Captain Zhang... Your Majesty is our lord, and we are ministers. This lord is in charge of the general strategy, and the ministers are in charge of implementation! Even if you don't agree with it in your heart, you still have to help." Master, do it...do you understand?"
Zhang Jun understands, Zhang Jun is so clever! How could you not understand? King Yun wearing a yellow robe is usurping the throne! There must be someone who will object...but I am certainly not among those people!
Thinking of this, Zhang Jun patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Chen Sima, your subordinates will definitely listen to your Majesty!"
Chen Ji nodded lightly, "That's good!"
While he was talking, Chen Ji stopped outside the back garden of Taiyuan Commandery, the original Yamen of the Xuanfu Envoy in Hedong and Hebei.
The moon gate in the back garden was guarded by two of Zhao Kai's soldiers, and no one knew what was going on inside the gate. There were waves of applause.
When Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, and Tian Shizhong were all feeling strange, Chen Ji had already announced loudly outside the Moon Gate.
"Your Majesty Sima Chen Ji invites three generals Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, and Tian Shizhong to see you!"
Then I heard a rather loud voice, "Haha, Captain Zhang is here... Let's go and greet him together!"
After hearing this, Chen Ji quickly turned his head and said to Zhang Jun with a smile: "Captain Zhang, the king is here to greet you!"
Go to the back garden door to greet you...this is also a greeting!
Zhang Jun's official position is not high, and his strength is limited. It is impossible for Zhao Kai to come out of the house to greet him. Being treated like this shows that he is very valued.
Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, and Tian Shizhong hurriedly arranged themselves according to their official positions, and then straightened their clothes. They saw a large group of men wearing arrow jackets and holding swords. Like stars over the moon, they protected a burly man. A grown-up man in red robe with handsome features and a tanned face appeared in the doorway.
This man in red robe is none other than the Grand Marshal of the Army of Hebei and Hedong of the Song Dynasty (Hedong is self-proclaimed), General Tiance, and King Yun Zhao Kai.

Everyone says that Luo Luo will not break chapters, but now it will be two chapters in a row. Is this okay?
