Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Buying people is actually pulling people in to join the army, which is even simpler, just give them food.

"Then if you want to recruit 50 horses, is it feasible?"

"If His Highness has enough food and grass, it will work."

"It's not easy, send people to collect food, and those who don't give food will be killed without mercy!"

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the first lunar month, just after Yue Fei finished his military training and returned to the Yamen, he sent an urgent report.

"Yue Tongzhi, this was detected by the northern scouts."

After Yue Fei opened it and read it, he frowned: "Have you found out where the bandits are going?"

"Currently, it is only going to Shenzhou."

"How many people can't be detected?"

"Still investigating, at least tens of thousands of people."

Zhang Xian said: "Could it be a pseudo-Qi army?"

Wang Gui was curious: "It's only been a month since the puppet Qi Liu Yu announced the founding of the country in Hejian, how could he raise tens of thousands of people so quickly to go south?"

Everyone fell into silence.

Yue Fei looked at Wang Gui and said, "Pseudo-Qi Liu Yu may also be sure that you think so."

Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, and said, "So, Liu Yu is going to give us a surprise?"

"It's possible!"

"What now?"

Zhang Xian said: "Liu Yu didn't attack our jurisdiction, and he is still in Shenzhou. The situation of the enemy and us is unknown. It is not too late to check the intelligence first."

Yue Fei said: "Zhang Xian is right, the scouts will continue to investigate!"

"Yes!"

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Liu Lin, the crown prince of the puppet Qi State, issued a "Call to the Song Dynasty" in Shenzhou.

It said: "Heaven and Hedong are poisoned by chaos and visions. When the Song court is full of evil spirits, the tyrant has no way, seizes the people's business, kills the loyal and good, and makes Shenzhou boil. Mountains, revealing the universe, righteous men from all directions will discuss it together!"

While standing on the high ground of righteousness, Liu Lin condemned the Song Dynasty for poisoning Hebei and Hedong, and called Zhao Ning an innocent tyrant who intended to win people's hearts. At the same time, he sent a large number of soldiers to arrest strong men everywhere in Shenzhou.

There is no other reason, only because in the eyes of people like Liu Lin, the farts are not human beings, and this "Call to the Song Dynasty" is not written for the farts, but for the gentry, landlords, and bureaucrats in Hebei and Hedong.

Among those people, there are naturally loyal people, but there are never lack of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

As soon as the "Call to the Song Dynasty" came out, Raoping County now aroused the support of the local landlords, and they surrendered to the Daqi Empire one after another, cursing the tyrant Zhao Ning with all kinds of words that could be imagined.

Later, they joined the same ranks as Liu Lin.

That is to say, in the name of cutting down tyrants, they seize the young men among the people and expropriate them violently.

Shenzhou itself has been in chaos for a long time. The people there are miserable. Many people can't even eat a bite of food. As long as they join the army, they can have something to fill their stomachs.

This situation lasted until the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the news quickly spread to Daming Mansion.

Hearing this, the Daming Mansion was shaken.

The Daming Mansion sent a large number of scouts to the Shenzhou area to investigate the situation, and at the same time sent an urgent report to Tokyo.

It was already the twelfth day of the first lunar month when the news of the renewed fighting in Hebei was sent to Tokyo.

The news that Liu Yu launched a war in the first month of the fifth year of Jingkang was undoubtedly like a boulder falling into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves.

At this time, the Tokyo court is troubled.

The news that Yang Yizhong killed Wang Xie in Yan'an Mansion has spread, and both the New Deal faction and the conservative faction are criticizing him.

The Shaanxi investigation case is also in full swing, and at this time it is reported that Liu Yu is going south.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, there was almost no fight between the Zhengshitang and the Military and Political Yuan.

The voice calling for the suspension of Shaanxi inventory is getting louder and louder.

A letter of memorials fell on Zhao Ning's desk like snowflakes.

Both the New Deal faction and the conservative faction want to stop the current rectification and investigation in Shaanxi.

Because it involves national defense security.

Of course, the opposition between the North and the South began to ferment at this time.

Some officials began to privately publicize how the current north is dragging down the Song Dynasty. This kind of voice is still afraid to speak out loudly, but it is taking advantage of people's fear and starting to spread around.

What is Zhao Ning's attitude towards the current situation?

Just one word: then fight!

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, when it is time to use force to solve the problem, there should be no hesitation.

Zhao Ning has to rely on the New Deal faction to promote the New Deal, so he still has to worry about the voice of the New Deal faction.

At the same time, he must rely on conservatives as political checks and balances, and cannot completely suppress conservatives.

But at this time, the situation had just erupted, and it was obviously futile to rely on words to explain.

So Zhao Ning simply declined all opinions on the grounds that he was ill.

For Zhao Ning, the beginning of this year is very important. If it goes well, the military and political affairs of the Western Army can be reorganized, and the military and political affairs of Hebei will undoubtedly be strengthened.

The internal New Deal will naturally ensure that there is no chaos.

Moreover, once Shaanxi is dealt with, it can make good adjustments to its current relationship with Xixia.

Chapter 345 If you dare to omit a single word, I will punish your nine clans! (first update)

During the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the streets of Tokyo were crowded with people, creating a bustling and bustling scene.

But behind the bustle and bustle, few people know that many major events are happening in the imperial court.

On this day, a very important person arrived in the capital.

This person is Zhang Shen, envoy of Jinglue, Fuyan Road.

Why is this person very, very important?

The investigation of him was the beginning of the official Zhao family's real attack on Shaanxi's military affairs.

The previous rotations were just preparations.

Even Wang Xie is just a minor character.

The economic envoy is equivalent to the commander of the military group army.

Taking action against such a military and political tycoon, and arresting and interrogating them, can cause a lot of political turmoil in itself.

At noon, the Military Governor's Office conducted a series of interrogations on Zhang Shen.

Old rules: I don’t know this, I don’t know that, it’s all Wang Xie’s fault and it has nothing to do with me, I am loyal to His Majesty.

Until the afternoon, Zhao Ning went out of the small door in the corner of the palace and walked all the way to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

At this time, the Fan Tower in Tokyo City was extremely lively, and Zhang Wencai booked a luxurious high-end private room to entertain his classmates at the University of Tokyo.

Zhou Shu raised his wine glass and said: "Zhang Yanei, let me toast you first, and I hope the Yamen will take care of you in the future."

The rest of the people also raised their wine glasses. Most of these people attended the banquet of the Qian family that night and were classmates of Zhang Wencai.

Everyone drank it all, Zhou Shu said: "I heard that Zhang Yanei can enter the lecture hall this year?"

Zhang Wencai said proudly, "It's already been decided."

Everyone was talking.

For ordinary people, after graduation, they have to start at the grassroots level, for example, to be a town supervisor, and they may work hard for more than ten years, and reluctantly get promoted to be a county magistrate.

However, for Zhang Wencai, after graduation, he may become an officer or county magistrate directly.

This is the difference between people.

"I said a long time ago that Zhang Yanei is different from ordinary people. Not only is his talent amazing, but his future is boundless!"

"By the way, have you found that officer Zhao?" Zhou Shu said suddenly.

Everyone shook their heads, saying that they had never seen Officer Zhao since that night.

Zhou Shu said: "If I see him again, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

Zhang Wencai laughed and said, "Forget it, he's just a small person."

While they were talking, footsteps were heard outside, and the door was forcibly pushed open.

Zhou Shu was furious: "Who dares to come here!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he froze.

He Bin asked coldly, "Who is Zhang Wencai?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Wencai in unison.

"Are you Zhang Wencai?"

"This Shangguan, next to me is Zhang, the son of Wailang, a member of the Hexi Room of the Privy Council..."

Before he finished speaking, He Bin waved his hand: "Grab it, there is another one named Zhou Shu."

After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at it again, turned around and left.

If it wasn't for Gao Qiu's handpicking to arrest this person, Zhang Wencai's level would not be enough for He Bin to arrest him himself.

Zhang Wencai's face was shocked: "I'm Wailang, a member of the Hexi Chamber of the Privy Council..."

With a slap, Zhang Wencai was slapped across the face.

"Zhang Wencai and Zhou Shu are important criminals of the imperial court now!"

In the panic of everyone, Zhang Wencai and Zhou Shu were taken away.

In the evening, Zhao Ning left the palace from the corner of the palace after dinner, and went all the way to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Qin Hui, Gao Qiu and other officials waited at the door.

"His Majesty."

"What about people?"

"inside."

Soon Zhao Ning met Zhang Shen.

Zhang Shen hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

Zhao Ning said calmly: "I have finished reading the memorial to impeaching Wang Xie you wrote for me. Whether you are wronged or not is not up to you."

"Your Majesty, I am completely unaware of this matter."

Zhao Ning sat there without speaking, just drinking tea slowly.

It wasn't until Zhang Wencai and Zhou Shu were brought in.

"We were wronged! We were wronged! My father is Wai Lang, a member of the Hexi Chamber of the Privy Council! My father is Wai Lang, a member of the Hexi Room of the Privy Council!"

Zhang Wencai was brought here.

He saw Zhao Ning's calm face at first glance.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Wencai shouted loudly: "The one surnamed Zhao! It's you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a team member of the Imperial City Division slammed Zhang Wencai's kneecap with a hammer, directly smashing his kneecap.

Zhang Wencai tilted his body and fell to the ground. He was so painful that he couldn't even cry out. He curled up on the ground tensely, and Zhou Shu on one side was frightened.

After a long while, Zhang Wencai slowly eased up.

Gao Qiu said coldly: "Jumping beam clown, how dare you be presumptuous when the emperor is here!"

When Zhou Shu heard this, he knelt down and buried his head: "I don't know if it's His Majesty, he deserves death!"

The moment he saw Zhang Wencai, Zhang Shen's face also changed.

Zhao Ning asked with a smile on his face: "Zhang Wencai, repeat what you said in front of Daxiangguo Temple that night."

"Forgive me..."

"Again, why did you arrest Mrs. Li?"
