Chapter 180 A major case of military power change?

In May, Bianjing has entered midsummer, and the bright sunshine illuminates everything.

Waves of heat waves swept in from afar, but the whole city seemed particularly energetic.

Only after experiencing setbacks can people become more calm and truly appreciate the beauty of life.

The same is true for the people in Bianjing City. After experiencing several sieges and frequent wars, some people have realized that peace is hard-won.

In addition to living a relaxed life, many people are also working hard.

In other words, the frivolity has more or less faded away.

There is an endless stream of ships transporting goods at the ferry crossings of the Bianhe River and Caihe River.

The river transport in the Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly developed, which promoted the unprecedented growth of the commodity economy. Neither the Tang Dynasty in the previous generation nor the Ming Dynasty in the later generation could compare with the Song Dynasty in terms of commerce.

There are also a lot fewer homeless people on the streets. This is probably due to the new agricultural policy that started last year, and many landless people have received land.

It is said that a new round of land lease policy is being brewed, which is naturally good news.

But there's better news.

On the evening of the second day of May, definite news came from Jingzhao Mansion: the Jin army retreated.

The Jin army retreated very covertly and quietly.

Shaanxi also conducted several investigations before confirming the news.

Although Loushi was severely damaged, it has been withdrawing its troops, which means that the Jin army may increase its troops at any time.

But withdrawing troops now means that there are no reinforcements behind.

The Jin army on the western front retreated, and the battle in Taiyuan Prefecture on the Hedong Road entered the stage of the Song army encircling Taiyuan. Zhaozhou, Xingzhou, and Jizhou in Hebei Province were gradually regrouping soldiers and civilians.

The Jin army on the eastern front was defeated and fled back to Hejian Mansion.

The newspaper headlines on the third day of May: The Jin army was repulsed across the board.

This news was like throwing a bomb into the city of Tokyo, directly detonating the city of Tokyo today.

Teahouses, restaurants, everywhere are talking about this.

There are storytellers who speak well and are rewarded with large sums of money.

Not only did Bianjing cheer, the news also spread to Luojing, and the people in Luojing rushed to tell each other and couldn't help being happy.

The Sixth Route of Shaanxi was an important town in the northwest. Once Shaanxi was lost, the Jin army took advantage of the situation and marched to Tongguan, advancing directly to Luoyang.

Now that Shaanxi has been defended, how can the people of Luoyang be unhappy?

But some people are happy and some are sad.

Hundreds of thousands died in the battle in Shaanxi, tens of thousands were buried in the mountains during the Shangdang battle, and how could the Cangzhou defense battle on the eastern front not be tragic?

Countless families have lost their backbone.

Let’s talk about the Imperial Guard soldiers who died tragically in Shangdang. Many of them were originally from Tokyo City.

How happy the outside world is at this time, how heartbroken their parents are!

Today's situation was achieved with the blood of countless people.

The war has not been won yet, but now there are people who want to steal the fruits.

During the war, they retreated behind the scenes and did not dare to attack. When the enemy retreated, they bared their fangs and began to attack their own people.

Is this reasonable?

This was fucking routine in the Great Song Dynasty!

A group of officials in the Privy Council want to regain the power that was stripped away by the Military Council. The essence of bureaucracy is profit-seeking.

On the fifth day of May, the mutiny in Luozhou was temporarily pacified by the emergency dispatch of food from the army sent by the Daming Prefecture.

Huang Qianshan had eaten and drank enough, hugged him from left to right, and was sleeping soundly when the door of his room was kicked open.

Huang Qianshan woke up suddenly in fright and looked around blankly: "What happened! Who!"

By the time he came to his senses, He Bin had already walked to the bed, and about eight imperial city commanders were standing by the window, admiring Huang Zhizhou's body at close range.

"you……"

He Bin found a chair and sat down, covered his nose with a handkerchief, and said with some disgust: "I'm sorry, the smell in the room is too strong, I'm not used to it."

"You are……"

"Huang Qianshan?"

"Yes, I am Huang Qianshan, the magistrate of Luozhou. Who are you? How dare you do whatever you want..."

Before Huang Qianshan could finish speaking, He Bin signaled to a subordinate next to him, and several people started to take action.

"What are you doing! I am the magistrate of Luozhou! I am the official of the imperial court! You are so presumptuous..."

As soon as the word "si" came out of his mouth, Huang Qianshan was slapped across the face and was stunned on the spot.

Then, in a state of confusion, he was forcibly dragged out of bed.

A strong Imperial City Commander grabbed Huang Qianshan, dragged him over, grabbed his head with one hand, and banged him against the wall, making a loud bang.

The two girls on the bed screamed in fright.

Another imperial city commander pulled out his sword and said: "Quiet."

The two girls covered their mouths with their hands and nodded in fear.

Huang Qianshan was beaten to a pulp. Without waiting for him to speak, he was forcefully dragged over again. His head was pressed on the table, and his right hand was also pressed on the table.

The imperial city commander pulled out a dagger and stuck it on the table, just inches away from Huang Qianshan's finger.

He Bin slowly took out a copy of Lu Zhaoyi's confession and said, "Huang Zhizhou, look at what is written on it and read it again."

Huang Qianshan was so frightened that he quickly started reading. He was originally a Jinshi, so he naturally read articles very quickly.

Even if my head is pressed on the table, I can still read quickly.

After reading this, I almost lost my mind on the spot.

"Have you finished reading?"

"this……"

The dagger pressed lightly and cut Huang Qianshan's finger. Huang Qianshan quickly yelled: "I've finished reading! I've finished reading!"

He Bin continued to ask: "Is what he said true?"

Huang Qianshan was silent, his eyes widened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"If you are given a chance, you must cherish it."

The dagger pressed down slightly again, and Huang Qianshan shouted: "Yes, it is a fact!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger was put away, and the others were also picked up.

"Okay! Give him a stamp! Go back to Beijing!"

A series of actions were performed in one go, with skill and sophistication.

Huang Qianshan was taken away and rushed back to Beijing.

It only took two days to go south from Luozhou and cross the Yellow River.

On the night of the seventh day of May, Huang Qianshan was designated as a special prisoner. He was thrown directly into the prison of the Imperial City Division without even asking the Dali Temple.

Zhao Ning packed up and went to the Imperial City Prison in person.

Huang Qianshan was beaten inside so hard that he almost didn’t even recognize his mother.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Huang Qianshan seemed to have heard the savior, raised his head and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Save me quickly! My loyalty to your Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon! Your Majesty..."

An imperial city commander slapped him in the face: "What is the ghost's name! Quiet!"

Gao Qiu ordered his people to clean up the surroundings, prepare chairs and tables, and make tea.

Zhao Ning came in and sat down. He glanced around and his eyes fell on Huang Qianshan.

Huang Qianshan was beaten until he was dying. He knelt in front of him, still muttering silently: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to your Majesty..."

"Everyone get out."

"His Majesty……"

"Everyone get out."

Everyone went out.
