Chapter 266 Transforming Dragon (21)

In fact, Lin Ning thought too much. There are still "Song Zis" in the future, but there is no "Song Zi" who said "a good daughter should first start a family and then start a career".

After Uncle Song became frustrated, he took out the works of the two sages who were said to be "Song Zi" and asked Lin Ning, who made up and made up, to read them carefully. The sages don't know the reputation of the article.

Lin Ning: "..."

Lin Ning didn't add fuel to the flames, just read it obediently, and promised to be mature and steady in the future.

Song Zhi sneered twice, expressing doubts.

Lin Ning lowered his eyes: "Didn't Second Uncle ever think that my unruly behavior in marriage is actually used to cover up my embarrassment? After all, she is also a girl who is waiting for her."

Song Zhi: "...Get out!"

Fortunately, Lin Ning is very reliable most of the time, otherwise Song Zhi would have drawn his sword to beat her.

Ugh.

·

The establishment of a new dynasty has been put on the agenda, and besides the dynasty name, the issue of establishing the capital also needs to be discussed.Considering that the ultimate goal of the Song Clan is to unify the world, the matter of the capital must be cautious, and considering that the north is still divided by heroes, the Song Clan will not invade Hanzhong in a short time, and go straight to Chang'an or Luoyang. In the end, it was agreed that the capital would be tentatively located in Xiangyang.

That is to say, the Song Dynasty will officially establish a new dynasty after taking Xiangyang.

I also said before that Xiangyang is now in power by "Double Swordsman" Qian Duguan. This person is the leader of the Hanshui School. He is in the silk business and has a rich family background.When the world was in chaos, Qian Duguan was favored by the public, and was elected as the leader by the local wealthy gentry and gangs. He drove away the prefect of Xiangyang, formed his own army, and took the governance of Xiangyang into his hands.

Since then, relying on Xiangyang, when the major forces confronted each other, he was even more successful, and even did a lot of business in exchange for what he needed, as if he had ceded land and became king.As far as the Song Clan’s information is concerned, Lin Ning knew that Qian Duguan had a concubine who was a competitor of Wanhou. Later, Lin Ning recalled the Xiayuan plot, and suddenly found that Qian Duguan himself belonged to the Yin Gui sect. .

——It can only be said that the ghost of the Yingui faction lingers on.

Now that Jingling has fallen, the Yingui faction, the fortress of Xiangyang, will not let go so easily, but for Lin Ning and the Song Clan, Xiangyang has no great connection with the Yingui faction, and Qian Duguan's vest is still very important. It's easy to wear, so when discussing how to treat Xiangyang, the Song clan persuaded him to submit.

After all, the Song clan is now in full swing.

After capturing Jingling, surrendering Du Fuwei, and encroaching on the Baling army, even the attitudes of the three major forces in Bashu have unconsciously softened a lot, which can be seen from the smooth development of trade exchanges.It can be said that without knowing it, Bashu has been leaning towards the Song clan.

Moreover, in the area around Jingling, many heroes have voluntarily surrendered.

However, Qian Duguan didn't have any intention of surrendering, which was not too unexpected for Lin Ning.

Since money is the only thing that is not easy to eat, then come hard.

The Song family's army advanced northward, but they did not use the name of sending troops to Xiangyang, but borrowed the name of suppressing the remnants of the four major bandits, but the elite soldiers continued to advance towards Xiangyang.During this period, the merchants either changed their routes, or traded with the Hailong Gang who had extended their hands to the south of the Yellow River, so as to cut off the foreign trade of Xiangyang City first, and gradually Xiangyang City could only go out and not enter;

Later, Lin Ning surrounded Xiangyang City with troops and besieged Xiangyang City heavily, but opened the official road to the south, in order to shake the hearts of Xiangyang soldiers and civilians and smash their will to defend.

At the same time, he also shouted to Xiangyang City that if Qian Duguan went out of the city gate and surrendered, the battle would be avoided immediately.

This is simply to put Qian Duguan on the fire, so that Qian Duguan can't tell the pain.

Originally, the citizens of Xiangyang City had heard about the battle of Jingling, and they also knew very well about the fact that Lin Ning, the young marshal of the Song family, was blessed by the real dragon, and the reputation of the Song Clan was there, so they didn't have much resistance to submitting to the Song Clan. There are even many people yearning for it.

And war is the last thing they want to see. Now, just because Qian Duguan resisted and refused to surrender, he was besieged by the Song family army.The wealthy gentry who supported Qian Duguan at the top now turn their heads to persuade Qian Duguan to understand current affairs. If Qian Duguan is really stubborn, then they will surrender first.

Qian Duguan almost lost his breath in anger.

Qian Duguan finally chose to go out and surrender, so that he could go deep into the enemy camp in order to plan later.

The city of Xiangyang was broken.

At the same time, Li Zitong, who occupies Jiangdu, and the alliance of Fu Gong Er who successfully usurped power, cooperated with the onslaught of the Song clan in the region.

The Song clan marched in multiple ways.

All the way from Liyang, which originally belonged to the Jianghuai Army, to Danyang;

All the way across the Yangtze River from Piling, which originally belonged to Shen Faxing, and went straight to Jiangdu and Pengliang;

All the way is the navy, landing from the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The first route was still led by Du Fuwei, the former leader of the Jianghuai Army. He still trusted his sworn brother Fu Gong Er very much. Unexpectedly, Fu Gong Er would rebel with a backhand. Could Du Fuwei not want to kill Fu Gong Er?

In this case, both Fu Gong Er and Li Zitong still want to seek foreign aid.It's just that with the Song clan's offensive at the moment, it's hard to say whether Yuanshui can save the near thirsty; moreover, there must be Yuanshui to do it.

Right now Li Mi is trapped on both sides, with Yu Wenhuaji in the north and Wang Shichong in the west.Yu Wenhuaji was unable to deal with Li Mi and Wagang Army alone; Wang Shichong was ready to fight Li Mi to the end.

These three parties were not able to separate their energies, and crossed the Huai River to help Li Zitong and Fugong Er.

On the contrary, after the Li faction occupied Chang'an, Qin Wang Li Shimin defeated Xue Ju recently.Among them, Xue Ju was originally from Fenyin, Hedong, and moved to Jincheng, Lanzhou. After the world was in chaos, Xue Ju gathered his troops to revolt and claimed to be the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty.

After being defeated by the King of Qin Li Shimin, the Li Clan gathered all of Longxi, and their prestige rose sharply.Li Xiuning of the Li family began to act as a lobbyist on behalf of the Li family, in order to persuade the gangs from all over the country to surrender. Li Zitong and Fugong Er still occupy Jiangdu and Liangdu. , then the Song clan can enter Hanzhong by way.

The Li clan really wanted to reinforce them, but now that the Li clan is occupying Guanzhong, it is beyond their reach.

Soon Li Zitong couldn't hold on anymore, and surrendered first.

Fu Gong Er finally abandoned Li Yang and escaped by himself.

So far, the Yangtze River Basin belongs to the Song Clan.

In the next month, the Song Dynasty was established by the Song Clan, with the tentative capital Xiangyang. The second daughter, Song Yuzhi, was named the Crown Prince, the eldest son, Song Shidao, was the King of Yue, and the eldest daughter, Song Yuhua, was Princess Guihua.

Song Zhi, Song Lu and others have their own enfeoffments.

Although Song Que is the one who proclaims the emperor, everyone knows that the emperor's daughter has always been in control of the government, and there is no father-daughter rivalry, so now this is just a smooth transition, and soon the emperor's daughter Will become emperor.

No discerning person has any objection to this.

As for non-sighted people?It can only be said that no matter how dissenting they are, the more they jump up and down, it will only make them more like clowns, which will only make people laugh.

·

There are many happy events.

After three months, the Hanshui Bridge was completed shortly after the establishment of the new dynasty.

The bridge across the Han River is more than 95 Zhang (about 320 meters) long and six Zhang (20 meters) wide, with eight piers and seven holes.

When it was completed, the Empress Dowager Lin Ning invited many people to watch the ceremony.

These include the three major forces in Bashu, Princess Guihua's father-in-law "Martial Arts Judge" Xie Hui, Sichuan Gang leader "Gun Tyrant" Fan Zhuo, and Bameng leader "Monkey King" Feng Zhen; Pegasus Ranch owner Shang Xiuxun, Nanyang Gang leader "Yanyue Dao" Yang Zhen and other people from the rivers and lakes; there are also patriarchs of famous families in the Han River Basin.

Everyone witnessed the completion of the Hanshui Bridge.

The crowd surrounded Lin Ning from one end to the other, and under the bridge was the rushing Han River, which shocked everyone a lot.In addition, I also observed the bridge stele of the Hanshui Bridge. In addition to the usual inscriptions used to sing praises, there are also a group of people who have dedicated themselves to the completion of the Hanshui Bridge, such as big families who donate money and materials, such as those who participated in the construction of the bridge. artisans.

Among them, the craftsmen also include those who used to do evil with the four bandits, and now they can be said to be reborn after transformation. Besides, who can resist the temptation of being famous in history.

Looking at the inscriptions on the Jingling and Xiangyang families who are the head of the family, he was so excited that he wished he could shout "The princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old", expressing that he has devoted himself to death and died.

Seeing that other people are also envious, with pride in their hearts.

Not to mention that the historian is by his side, and there are records.

Later, Lin Ning made a small speech in a reserved yet friendly manner, which made the crowd respect her even more.

Song Zhi nodded secretly, lamenting that his niece looked like a dog when she was serious.

cough.

Lin Ning glanced at his second uncle as if feeling something, and saw his expression of "my pig can finally make cabbage", and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. This is such a silly metaphor.

Fortunately, Lin Ning was able to hold back, and didn't let his tall personality suddenly collapse.

The completion of the Hanshui Bridge is of great significance.

Under the intentional or unintentional publicity of the Song Dynasty, the No. [-] Bridge in the World soon became famous.Many talented scholars and celebrities came here admiringly, reciting poems and composing Fu was a joy, and the inscriptions on the bridge were also publicized. Among them, the inscriptions of craftsmen were widely admired, and at the same time made an indelible contribution to raising Lin Ning's reputation to a higher level.

Lin Ning accepted it bluntly.

Song Zhi shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything about her, but talked about the Nanyang Gang.

The Nanyang Gang is not only one of the eight gangs and ten associations, but also the largest gang in Nanyang. Nanyang is located on the south bank of the Turbulent River, and the champion of Jialou Luojun is located on the west bank of the Turbulent Water. The transportation is very difficult, and the geographical location is dangerous. As long as one of the cities is captured, the other city will not be able to survive alone.

Among them, Nanyang's economy is more prosperous than that of the champion, because Nanyang has been a commercial transshipment center and a hub of many officialdoms since ancient times.

Because of this, Nanyang once became the main target of Zhu Can's Jialou Luo army to collect money and exploit. Fortunately, the three factions, four gangs and one association in Nanyang, including the Nanyang Gang, signed an agreement with the Jialou Luo army, that is, Nanyang monthly Paying tribute to Zhu Can, Zhu Can no longer manages Nanyang's internal affairs.

Zhu Can was naturally not reconciled, and tried every means to divide the three factions and four gangs into one meeting.

However, Yang Zhen, the "Yanyue Dao" launched by the three factions, four gangs and one association to preside over the overall situation, is not only highly respected, but also smooth and slick. So far, Zhu Can has still not been able to regain control of Nanyang.

But to say that Nanyang is willing to see this situation, how is that possible.

It's just that because of Zhu Can and Jialou Luojun in the past, he could only choose to be patient.

Now that the Song Dynasty intends to flatten the Jialou Luo army, the three factions and four gangs in Nanyang suddenly became turbulent.

Yang Zhen, who was invited to watch the inauguration ceremony of the Hanshui Bridge, took this as a signal. After careful consideration, he believed that in terms of the current situation, submitting to the Song Dynasty was more promising than Li Tang:

Zhu Can's division actually played a role. The president of Zhongyang Xinghui, the three factions, four gangs and one association, has colluded with Tuanjiang faction, Chaoshui gang, and Huiyi gang in recent years to conspire to replace Yang Zhen as the leader.

Yang Zhen had to deal with both the outside world and the inside, and he was exhausted physically and mentally.

At the same time, Yang Zhen is also very aware of the importance of Nanyang, and he does not blame Princess Xiuning of the Li Clan for coming to recruit him.It's just that although Li Tang's popularity has risen sharply, he still has internal and external troubles. Not to mention powerful enemies, even Yang Zhen knows that Li Shimin, the second son of Li Tangzhong, is far more majestic than Li Jiancheng, who was named the prince. It was Li Shimin who was charging forward, beheading the pass and seizing the pass, but he couldn't be crowned prince because of his elder and younger relationship. Who knows if the history of Li Mi killing Zhai Rang will be repeated?

It can also be seen that Li Yuan is indecisive, so what if he is not named the eldest son?

At this moment when all the heroes in the world are competing, shouldn't the capable ones live there?Otherwise, it is more likely to breed disasters.

In contrast, the Song Dynasty was risking the displeasure of the world, but the people's aspirations and strength were not to be said.The trip to the Hanshui Bridge also shocked Yang Zhen, and the balance in his heart completely tilted towards the Song Clan.

Lin Ning was happy to see the success, "Sure enough, those who have attained the Tao will help."

Song Zhi heheed: "I don't know if Your Majesty the Empress Dowager knows which sage this sentence came from?"

Lin Ning looked at him.

Song Zhi was indifferent: "As the empress dowager, I have the duty to teach His Majesty the school."

Lin Ning: "...from Mencius's "Mencius Gongsun Chouxia"."

Song Zhi eased his tone: "You are right this time."

Relying on his own face, Lin Ning didn't take it too seriously. He cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of which, I intend to open Chinese studies in Xiangyang. Isn't it just that many literati and celebrities came to watch the Hanshui Bridge? Can it influence you?" Those who come will be influenced. After the chaos, it is easy to teach, and the hungry are easy to eat—don’t ask me where this sentence comes from.”

Song Zhi: "...I really haven't heard of this sentence. It seems that it is really what 'Song Zi' said. I will remember to ask the historian to write it down."

Lin Ning: "...All right."

The matter of Chinese studies is just what Lin Ning said, and there is no specific charter yet, and it is not easy for Song Zhi to intervene in matters that can attract the favor of scholars and celebrities, so he can just ask Lin Ning to come up with a charter first.Lin Ning had no objection, and later the two talked about other things, including the fact that the Li faction sent their princess Li Xiuning to persuade others to submit.

"Li Xiuning went to see Shang Xiuxun."

Originally, Shang Xiuxun had been friends with Li Xiuning, so naturally Li Xiuning would not leave the Pegasus Ranch behind.

It's just that the Pegasus Ranch is now in the territory of the Song Dynasty. If Shang Xiuxun agrees to fall to the Li Clan, it will be tantamount to putting the Pegasus Ranch at a disadvantage.

Shang Xiuxun would not fail to understand this truth, she would never agree to Li Xiuning.

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows slightly: "I thought Li Tang's princess would understand that she is not only entering the Pegasus Ranch, but also entering the territory of our Song Dynasty. Isn't this a matter involving two countries?"

Song Zhi asked, "Yuzhi, what do you mean?"

Lin Ning blinked: "It's also strange, the household registration in the country has not been unified yet, and the road guide with the seal of the imperial court has been given."

Song Zhi: "..."

This is basically talking around the corner, but Lin Ning still sent a decree to the Pegasus Ranch later in the name of the empress dowager.

Speaking of the Flying Horse Ranch, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are no longer at the Flying Horse Ranch.The four bandits have been eliminated, and the Pegasus Ranch will not be invaded by foreign enemies again. Xu Ziling has learned a lot of skills from Lu Miaozi, and Kou Zhong is ambitious, so the two leave the comfortable Pegasus Ranch and go to their home. My hometown is Yangzhou.

On the way, they met Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu.

Fu Junyu wanted to attack Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling because he was dissatisfied with Fu Junmao teaching the mind to the two Han people, and asked them about Yang Gong's treasure house.These two people realized the difference between Fu Junmao and Fu Junyu, but they didn't tell Fu Junyu the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house because of empathy.

Except for Fu Junyu, there are not many people in the world who covet Duke Yang's treasury.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew that the secret of Duke Yang's treasury was in Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's hands, but none of them were cheap.It can be said that from the beginning until now, there have been many people who chased and killed Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and because of Li Tianfan, Li Mi hated them even more.

A group of people turned back to Jingling.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling intend to go back to the Pegasus Ranch to have a look, but accidentally bump into Li Mi quietly coming to Jingling, but not to chase the two of them, but to connect with someone.After some tracking, the two of them suddenly discovered that Li Milai's partner was actually Qian Duguan who surrendered to the Song Clan.

Li Mi and Qian Duguan want to join forces, not only aiming at Yang Gong's treasury, but also wanting to make the Song Clan and Li Clan feud:

They wanted to attack Li Xiuning who came to the Pegasus Ranch, creating the illusion that Li Xiuning died tragically at the hands of the Song Clan. At the same time, they could also drive a wedge between the Pegasus Ranch and the Song Clan, so that the Pegasus Ranch would not become the Song Clan's ranch.

Kou Zhong: "!"

After they quietly left with such secret plots, Xu Ziling frowned: "Li Mi is really narrow-minded, he only uses such insidious tricks."

Kou Zhong thinks so.

Just the two of them ran into each other several times, once to assassinate Zhai Rang, and once to assassinate the young marshal of the Song family, no, it's time to call her Your Highness the Empress Dowager, and this time.

Let’s not talk about how the two of them can come across such a conspiracy scene every time by such a coincidence, and can overhear the incredible information every time, just say that the two of them have heard the conspiracy of Li Mi and Qian Duguan, and also involved If they went to Pegasus Ranch and Li Xiuning, they couldn't ignore them, so they decided to go to Pegasus Ranch.

——Pegasus Ranch is quite lively.
