On the first day of May in the seventh year of Hongwu's reign in the Song Dynasty, ten miles outside the Danfeng Gate of Yanshan Fucheng, on the bank of the Sanggan River, a group of elderly people wearing brand-new Song-style civil official uniforms had gathered. A huge painted archway and a huge Welcome pavilion.
From this archway to Danfeng Gate, both sides of the ten-mile official road are crowded with old people in ragged clothes, all holding walking sticks, carrying baskets, holding wine bottles, and holding their grandchildren - this is called a basket. Eat a pot of pulp to welcome the king's master.
Now that Master Wang has not come yet, there are old people taking this opportunity to teach their grandson.
"When Master Wang comes later, he will cry. He will cry and shout: Long live the official family, long live the official family..."
"I know, but grandpa, why are we wearing shabby clothes today? The clothes still stink!"
"Is it smelly? Oh, it is a little bit. Grandson, just wear what you have, and we will change into new clothes when we get back."
"Okay, let's change into new clothes!"
"Wait a minute, grandpa has something to say! If someone asks you later, no matter what the question is, you just answer: I'm hungry... Do you understand?"
"Okay, I'm hungry..."
"That's right, my dear grandson!"
It has to be said that the wealthy families here in Yanjing City have welcomed many king masters, and they have been almost imprisoned by all kinds of king masters. Everyone knows that in front of Master Wang, you must not show your wealth... you have to pretend to be poor!
Look, we are so poor here in Yanjing. If you are the king master, please take pity on us and stop robbing us. If you can still be merciful and give us three years of free tax or something, that would be even better. .
Cai Jing, the Yanshanfu Road pacification envoy of the Song Dynasty, saw these "righteous people" welcoming the king's master, all dressed in rags and pretending to be poor, and he couldn't help but sigh: The people of Yan are indeed miserable! Since the Xuanhe Northern Expedition, this place has changed its owner several times!
And every time there was a change of ownership, the new King Master would inevitably harm the people of Yan. Sometimes Master Wang who runs away must be severely punished before leaving. The calamity has reached this point. It must be said that ten houses and nine empty houses are overdue, but at least the population is 70% less than that of the Liao Kingdom, which means ten houses and seven empty houses.
Not only is Yanshan Prefecture empty, but even the outside of Yanshan Prefecture is empty. Abandoned farmland and shabby villages with few people living in them can be seen everywhere. Even the larger towns do not have much population, and the market is extremely depressed.
If the Emperor of Luoyang still had a little benevolence, why should he be exempted from taxes for three years so that the people of Yandi could take good care of themselves, right?
In addition, the war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty should also come to an end!
Now that almost all the sixteen states of Yanyun have been recovered, there are only a few sites on Hebei Road that have not yet been captured. Although most of Jingdong Road is still in the hands of the Jin people, the land transportation between Jingdong Road and Liaodong has been cut off. The Jin people there must not dare to stay for a long time, and they will probably retreat soon.
Therefore, the great cause of resisting the Jin Dynasty is almost completed... It is time for the imperial court to consider negotiating peace with the Jin Kingdom. Even if you give a million coins, as long as the people can take a breather, it's still worth it!
And if you want to fight outside, you must first make peace with yourself!
Now the Song Dynasty is still divided into two dynasties: Northern and Southern Dynasties! Moreover, the Jinling Imperial Court was not weak in terms of population and taxation compared to the Luoyang Imperial Court. If the Luoyang officials did not concentrate all their efforts, they would not be able to defeat the Jinling Imperial Court.
For this reason, the Luoyang officials should also negotiate peace with Dajin!
Just as Cai Jing thought of this, he heard impassioned singing in his ears.
The singing was a little blurry when it first came, and Cai Jing couldn't hear it clearly, but after a while, the singing became louder and louder.
"I am so angry that I lean on the railing, and the misty rain stops. I look up, look up to the sky and roar, my heart is full of passion. Ten years of fame and fame, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait for a long time, and your young head will turn white, and you will feel empty and sad. Xuanhe Qiu , It has not been repaid yet. When will the king’s hatred be destroyed..."
As the singing became louder and louder, large groups of infantry and cavalry with red cloth turbans suddenly appeared on the official road on the other side of the Sanggan River. These red-turbaned Song troops marched along the Sanggan River in columns of hundreds of cavalry or hundreds of people. An official road on the west bank of the river came in a mighty way.
The strongest part of this red scarf Song army is the recognition flag consisting of the "Six Emperors" symbolizing the Emperor of Luoyang and two white flags.
It's Zhao Kai, the Emperor of Luoyang, who has arrived!
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live..."
The voice of "Long Live the Mountain" suddenly arose, and the cheers came from the Song Army who had arrived outside Yanshanfu City early, that is, the troops of the Southern Route Army led by Yue Fei.
Although Yue Fei followed Pharmacist Guo's suggestion and gave up the most dazzling pearl of Yanshan Fucheng to Zhao Kai, he was not idle these two days. On the one hand, he set up camp on the east bank of Sanggan River, approaching Yanshan Fucheng.
On the one hand, they divided their forces to seize key points such as Qingbaikou, Dakou, Juyongguan, Deshengkou, Yizhou and Zijingguan at the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain, opening the way south to Yanshan Prefecture for the North Route Army led by Zhao Kai.
And Zhao Kai did not rush to Yanjing City impatiently. After he got a personal letter from Pharmacist Guo and knew that Yanjing was already in his pocket, he began to allocate temporary pastures and residences to Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda. .
The land of Huanzhou of the former Jin Kingdom, which was close to Dading Prefecture (belonging to Dajin Pinglu Army) and Linhuang Prefecture, was temporarily assigned to Yelu Dashi.
Xiao Heda obtained the territory that originally belonged to the White Tatars, roughly located north of Huanzhou and Xuandezhou.
As for Tiandejun, Fengzhou, Yunnei Prefecture, and Dongsheng Prefecture owned by Hebule, there are also Datong, Shuozhou, Yuzhou, and Yingzhou owned by Wanyan Zongfu, as well as Xuandezhou and Fengzhou located at the northwest foot of Yanshan Mountain. The lands of Shengzhou and Hongzhou were all captured by Zhao Kai's Luoyang court.
This operation of dividing the territory is not just about casually drawing on the map with a brush, it also has to be divided into actual troops to occupy it!
These territories were governed by the Song Dynasty for the first time, and the gap between the local powerful families and the Song Dynasty court was not small.
Without the military stationing and suppression, it would have been impossible for the Luoyang court to incorporate these territories into its own system.
While dispatching troops to occupy the territory, Zhao Kai also met Ma Zhi and Dong Luohan in Xuande County.
Ma Zhi was the great monk raised by Medicine Master Guo. After he and Medicine Master Guo went out of the city to negotiate with Yue Fei, they did not return to Yanjing City with Medicine Master Guo, but went directly to Xuande County to meet Zhao Kai.
Dong Luohan is the brother of Dong Jinjiang. When Dong Jinjiang followed Guo Tiannu to join Zhao Kai, he was protecting Guo Anguo outside Kaifeng Prefecture, and later served as the leader of Guo Pharmacist's personal soldiers. He also went to see Yue Fei with Yaoshi Guo and Ma Zhi, but also did not return to Yanjing Fucheng. Because Yaoshi Guo asked him to take these two "black materials", the Yanshanfu Road Land Atlas and the Directory of Yanjing Houses, to Zhao Kai.
These two pieces of "black material" are amazing!
It is basically clear to whom the land on Yanshanfu Road (the original Jin Nanjing Road) belongs... Big landowners who can occupy large areas of land under the rule of the Jin Kingdom are of course traitors!
Basically, you can’t go wrong if you follow this list to arrest people!
Therefore, Master Wang led by Zhao Kai is not a benevolent master, but a violent master who comes to Yanjing City with a "blacklist" to arrest people!
Zhao Kai was much more vicious than the later Li Zicheng who "went to Beijing to take the exam" and failed. What he wanted was not a little bit of free money, but all the means of production.
On the basis of his governance, that is, the land of the "Yingtian Four Roads", land, the most important means of production in the era of small-scale peasant economy, has also been reclassified and recharacterized...The Yingtian Four Roads Linking the land with military service and creating a new class of military landlords (fu soldiers) is the main reason why Zhao Kai's dynasty can develop and grow under extremely difficult economic conditions!
And the Fubing class, which has gained huge benefits from the reform of the Fubing system, is of course eager to get more land. This is the motivation for them to fight!
And Zhao Kai, an official, can't come up with anything else to feed these hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves.
Therefore, the landlord class on Yanshanfu Road, Hebei Road (Jin), and Jingdong Road will inevitably be on Zhao Kai's blacklist... Because Zhao Kai, who was in troubled times and became an official, had no choice but to Continue to rely on hundreds of thousands of military landlords to support him!
...
Zhao Kai, armed with a blacklist and tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops, rode across the pontoon bridge on the Sanggan River amidst cheers and arrived at the east bank of the Sanggan River, where the dilapidated but still majestic Yanjing City now stood. In front of his eyes.
Zhao Kaile stopped his horse and looked up at this majestic city that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty had been dreaming about for more than a hundred years. Then they finally got it but couldn't hold it, and fell into deep thought for a while.
At this time, Cai Jing had already led a group of old people from powerful families on Yanshan Prefecture Road to the official road in front of Zhao Kai. They did not dare to approach, but danced on the ground from a distance: "The guilty ministers Cai Jing and Liu Yanjun (Liu Yanzong's Cousin) and so on, welcome to the official family, welcome to the king..."
Only then did Zhao Kai come back from his thoughts and said with a smile: "Methodist Guo came up to talk! Hey, where is Pharmacist Guo? Where is he?"
What?
Pharmacist Guo came forward to talk?
Now Cai Jing and others were dumbfounded - because Yaoshi Guo couldn't talk to him now! If you have anything to do with him, you have to burn paper.
Dong Jingang, the commander of the first army who came to Yanshan Mansion to protect Zhao Kai, wandered around among the welcoming crowd for a long time and did not see Pharmacist Guo, so he asked: "Where is Guo Du Guan? Why didn't he come? Please hurry up." Come out, the officials have something to say to him!"
What?
Guo Duguan?
Ordinary people would not call Yaoshi Guo that way. Only Yaoshi Guo’s old subordinates called him that. Could it be that this man who looked like a sinister man was Yaoshi Guo’s old subordinate?
Cai Jing already knew something was wrong, but Yaoshi Guo had already been killed... and his heads were chopped off! It's definitely too late to sew it back now.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and took a box from a veteran beside him, raised it high and said loudly: "If you go back to the official house, the treasonous traitor Guo Yaoshi is here!"
"What?" Zhao Kai was stunned when he saw the box, and then blurted out, "You, you actually killed Pharmacist Guo?"
