I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Not only did the wealthy people flee Yunzhou, but a large number of refugees were also left behind, which was a surprise to him.

These big households are also brainless. Their greatest wealth is land, and they cannot take away the land. It is inappropriate to go to Yelu Chun with just money and food. This is a little white rabbit entering the wolf's den. It can get in but can't get out!

You must know that the Khitans are so poor that they cannot even recruit young men to join the army. You can imagine the fate of these people.

If you stay in Yunzhou, as long as you don't commit suicide, hand over your land and food, and lose your previous privileges, you can at least become a rich man.

Complaints are all complaints, but Yunzhou’s mess still needs to be cleaned up.

Yunzhou is directly north of Yingzhou and was also severely affected by the disaster. However, Xijing Liubei was a ruthless person and crammed all the residents of Yunzhou into all the counties and towns in Yunzhou. Those who could not be packed rushed to Yingzhou.

After Liu Sheng learned of the situation, he immediately opened the houses left behind by all the large households and nobles in Yunzhou when they fled, and dispersed these residents.

Even so, it was still very crowded, and the whole city seemed chaotic and filled with a strange smell.

Yunzhou is a large state and one of the basic bases of Khitan. It is responsible for the transfer of trade from south to north.

When commerce is developed and prosperous, the natural population will be large, about more than 100 million.

A population of more than 100 million means that Liu Sheng has obtained a stable soldier and wealth production base.

The territory is larger and the population is larger, which means there are 100 million more mouths for Liu Sheng to feed.

In the past, Liu Sheng could also subsidize it by checking the family.

However, all the big families in Yunzhou ran away, and there was nothing left on their books.

The prerequisite for implementing work-for-relief programs is that the government has food.

The occupied territory is too large, and the new territory does not receive enough supplies. It is somewhat unrealistic to use work-for-relief in Yunzhou to achieve the same goal as Yingzhou.

He simply had no ability to feed these people.

To be honest, it is unrealistic to feed all the more than 100 million people in Yunzhou.

Liu Sheng is not that capable either.

But Liu Sheng couldn't do anything to let him watch them starve to death and freeze to death.

Liu Sheng began to send people out to build snow houses, at least to divide the population in the city. Xijing City could not bear such a large population.

Snow houses can relieve temporary worries, but now that spring has returned and the earth's temperature continues to rise, no one can live in snow houses until March at most.

These people still have some food stored, but accommodation is a big problem.

Liu Sheng thought about how to relocate these 100 million people. After Wang Liao's various urgings, Liu Sheng no longer promised anything.

He knew what he was promising blindly, and Wang Liao might have to give up his choice.

.......

At this time, the military report that Liu Sheng occupied Yunzhou was also sent to Zhongshi Dao. When Zhongshidao saw the military report, he didn't believe it at first, and then he was ecstatic.

"This little General Liu is really a surprise! It was originally the Khitan who attacked, but he was beaten to Yunzhou, and he almost captured Yelu Yanxi alive. Such achievements are heart-warming to see."

He sent people to Tokyo at high speed, and sent people north to check the situation.

There was a hint of worry on the suddenly ecstatic face.

Zhongdao on the side said excitedly: "Grandpa, you don't seem very happy about regaining Yunzhou!"

Zhong Shidao sighed and said: "This General Xiao Liu is so good at fighting. In just a few months, he successively captured Shuozhou, Huanzhou, Yingzhou, and now even important towns like Yunzhou have been captured. , the imperial court spent several years planning, and sent heavy troops, but they only reached the gates of Datong City."

"And Liu Sheng relied on the more than [-] remaining soldiers under his command to conquer four states without any supplies or soldiers from the imperial court. If he sends his troops south, who can stop him?"

Zhongdao was stunned. He had never thought about such a problem. As a member of a family of generals, he was born to be loyal to the Song Dynasty and rebel? Never thought about it.

He said with some disbelief: "Probably not! General Liu is not that kind of person."

Zhong Shidao shook his head and looked into the distance and said: "But some people forced him to become that kind of person. I hope those people can be more stable."

........

Kyoto of the Song Dynasty, the city of Tokyo is very lively today, with various juggling, theater troupes, and lion dance performances in the city. These are all paid for by the Zhao Song official family, not just because of the New Year.

But there is a big event today. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, including Prince Zhao Heng, are waiting ten miles outside the city.

Everyone looked forward eagerly, as if they were looking at something. Although the cold wind blew by, everyone did not feel cold. They only felt that their hearts were burning, and their faces were quite excited.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Here we come."

I saw a knight running quickly from a distance.

"Your Highness, the Commander-in-Chief's army is less than ten miles away from here."

Zhao Heng, who was originally lying in the soft carriage, heard the news, immediately jumped out of the carriage, stretched, couldn't help shivering, and looked slightly dissatisfied.

Isn't it just the old eunuch returning to court, and he needs to come to pick him up in person? How can he be comfortable in a warm palace in such a cold weather?

Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to refuse.

"play music."

As the war music played, Zhao Heng stood up straight, trembling in the cold wind.

The minister on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Your Highness, please pay attention to your manners."

Zhao Heng wanted to curse, but he didn't want to tremble. It was too cold. His father didn't want to suffer this, so he brought him here.

Zhao Heng looked around and saw several officials whose noses were so cold that they pretended to be blinded by the sand and wiped them...

"You guys come closer to me and block the wind for me." Zhao Heng ordered several servants.

Someone else couldn't stand it and said, "Your Highness, this is to welcome the handsome boy in triumph, how can he be so rude?"

Zhao Hengli ignored him and stared straight ahead.

Not long after, an army appeared in front of everyone, with colorful flags fluttering, one Song flag and one child.

Zhao Heng shouted back the servants around him and led all the civil and military officials to come forward and said: "We sincerely welcome the grand master to return to the court in victory."

Tong Guan hurriedly dismounted from his horse and trotted forward and said: "Your Highness broke the old slave, how can the old slave dare to call him Taishi? It would be a capital crime to cause His Highness to wait here."

As he spoke, he knelt down on the ground and kept his posture very low.

Even Zhao Heng was very useful. Tong Guan, who was more powerful than a thousand people, knelt in front of him like a kitten.

He stepped forward and hurriedly pulled Tong Guan up and said: "Grand Master, you have worked hard and have made great achievements. Now you have defeated the rebels. My father, in exchange for the title of Grand Master, granted him the title of Duke of Chu."

"Your Majesty's decree has not yet arrived, and I dare not accept it."

Zhao Heng couldn't bear the cold, and he didn't want to be polite to Tong Guan. He pulled Tong Guan and walked to his carriage: "Father is waiting in the palace to celebrate the grand master's victory. The grand master should not keep his father waiting for a long time." That’s good.”

Tong Guan refused, and Zhao Heng offered to make a carriage together. Today was his glorious day. How could he accept the cheers of the people while sitting in the carriage.

As soon as Tong Guan entered the city, the people watching the excitement gathered around, cheering and shouting.
