Chapter 1,343: Report before the New Year

Outside Xingqing Mansion, a middle-aged man with a resolute face, riding a tall white horse, wearing heavy mourning, was marching towards the towering city gate, held by two groups of new troops.

Arriving at the gate of the city, Su You led the officials of the Xia Kingdom who had surrendered to the Song Dynasty to greet him.

Riding alone, in the midst of the fully armed new army, he showed the momentum of commanding thousands of troops. Su You had to sigh with emotion. He nourished his energy and transferred his body to nourish his body. Brother Chao was so heroic that even the escort team was in trouble. Just like his bodyguard.

Wang Hou, Li Yong, Qian Gu and other juniors all weakened in front of him.

Arriving in front of the city gate, Jia Liang dismounted his horse, glanced coldly at the ministers behind Su You, and said in a deep voice: "The king of the country has recently been mourned, don't you all show mourning?"

With one sentence, all the officials behind Su You lowered their heads in shame.

Su You hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Mr. Jia, it's been a long time since we last met. This matter is due to Su You's negligence. We will wait until your husband comes to discuss important matters, and then implement them. Matters of filial piety must be carried out according to your advice."

Jialiang said with a cold face: "Where is the young master?"

"Here you are, here you are..." Su You said with a flattering look on his face: "Manjusri slave, Manjusri slave, please bring Ganshun out quickly to show Mr. Jia."

Manjusri Nu came out of the warm car, holding little Ganshun in his arms.

With Da Song's fat rice noodles, several wet nurses found by Su You, and supplementary food such as fruit puree made from canned fruits, Xiao Ganshun grew stronger than the Empress Dowager Liang herself.

Jialiang looked at the healthy child in Manjusri's arms, sighed, tore off a piece from his linen clothes, and gently stuck it on Ganshun's tiger head hat to express his mourning for Bingchang.

After that, he took two steps back and paid homage to Su You: "Thank you so much, Duke, for seeking approval from the court for the late king, keeping his royal title, and for taking such good care of the young master...Jia Liang, surrender today!"

"Coax--" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Liang, with his own strength, overwhelmed everyone in terms of momentum, relying on his loyalty to his old master.

It was also this sense of loyalty that made him choose to obey Bingchang's edict after making sure that the successor to the Xia Kingdom was safe and healthy.

At least, that's how everyone interpreted it, except for the two movie stars.

Su You was overjoyed and stepped forward to help Jia Liang up in person: "That's great. I will lead the horse myself and invite Mr. Jia into the city. I will arrange a banquet for Mr. Jia Liang..."

However, Jialiang interrupted coldly: "Let's go to the late king's palace first."

"Ah? This..."

"I feel uneasy if I don't go see him."

"Okay, okay, then let's go to Zi Palace."

Bingchang's spiritual throne is located next to Wuying Hall. At least Su You didn't look down on it at all, and it was completely in accordance with the king's specifications.

Jia Liang respectfully offered incense and sprinkled wine in front of the spirit to pay homage.

All the ministers were waiting outside the palace. Su You also put on his filial piety and became the chief priest, presiding over the ceremony.

After the sacrifice, Jialiang stood up and looked at Bingchang's memorial tablet: "Mingrun, he is actually a nice person and he was very respectful to me. If you don't come again, I won't know..."

After saying that, he smiled to himself: "I have been acting for almost twenty years, and even I don't know which ones are real and which ones are fake..."

Su You held his arm and said, "Brother Yuanxiu, you know I will definitely come."

Jia Liang sighed and said: "After all, the king and his ministers are the same. I will be the envoy of the late king, so I can see him off for the last time."

Su You nodded: "That's right. Your Majesty has an edict, and Bingchang can be buried according to the king's rites."

"But the tombs of Yuan Hao and his ilk must be surrendered."

Jialiang asked: "What does your Majesty mean?"

Su You shook his head: "Everyone in the court is still hesitant because they are afraid of provoking a backlash from the Xia people. This is what I mean."

"I have worked hard for twenty years, isn't this the moment I have been waiting for?" Jia Liang smiled: "Bingchang has never caused any harm to me, the Song Dynasty, so I feel guilty. As for Li Lizun, Yuan Hao, Liang Zuo and others,

Being reduced to Jiedushi is already the greatest mercy."

Su You nodded: "I think so too. Also, because Brother Chao is deeply supported by the Xia people, I asked Your Majesty that we must continue to perform this play."

"You have made great achievements in bringing an army of 100,000 to surrender. Bingchang recommended you and Li Wenzhao before his death. According to the treatment given by the Song Dynasty to the surrendered ministers of the Xia Kingdom, His Majesty will make you the Duke of Liang and the Governor of Hexi."

"Tuqian and Yeli can settle in Juyanze and Xiutuze."

"As usual, His Majesty will give you a name, Chao and Gu."

"As for the tribe, leave it to Guodong and sister-in-law first. You are the person who knows Xixia best, and you have to sit in Xingzhou with me. Do you think this is okay, Brother Yuanxiu?"

Jia Liang shook his head: "What is needed most now is to calm people's hearts and move Han people to enrich the various places. Otherwise, even if the Song Dynasty takes over these places, sooner or later they will become someone else's."

Su You said: "Now that Xixia has been pacified and the Song Dynasty has expanded its land to thousands of miles, the previous military roads of Shanbei Road must be changed to administrative roads."

"From a geographical perspective, I think it is roughly Henan Road, that is, the Taonei area; Ningxia Road, that is, east of Yingli Pass, west of the Yellow River, Xingqing Prefecture plus the three original military divisions of Youxiang, Baima, and Heishan; Hexi

Road, that is, the area west of Yingli Pass, including Juyanze in Mobei, what do you think, Brother Yuanxiu?"

Jia Liang said: "The imperial court has given me so much kindness, but Jia Liang has nothing to repay. A real seal is already too heavy. If Liang Guogong can reject it for me, please do so."

Su You's meaning is very clear. Jialiang, the Hexi military governor, is completely different from the military governor of the Zhao family. He actually controls the entire Hexi Corridor for the Song Dynasty, plus there are now two huge oases in the corridor - Xiu You.

The important positions of Tu Ze and Ju Yanze.

Today's Juyanze is different from that of later generations. The two large lakes in the lake, the East and West Juyanhai, each cover an area of ​​500 square kilometers.

Su You wanted to persuade again, but Jia Liang said: "No need to persuade, there is still Hexi Jiedu, which cannot be hereditary. I don't want my descendants to become the sinners of dividing China."

After saying that, he glanced at Su You: "That place will become a hot potato next, surrounded by Qingtang, Yellow-headed Uighur, Gaochang Uighur, and Tatar. You want to exhaust me to death, right?"

With decades of experience in the political arena, Su You couldn't help but blush: "I really can't believe the abilities of the princes in the court, but now you should know the combat power of our new army in the Song Dynasty. As long as everyone knows the strength of the northwest

Dali, I will go and talk to His Majesty and I will definitely give you the greatest support."

Jialiang patted Su You on the shoulder: "Why don't you have a few concubines and have more children? The biggest problem in the northwest now is that there are too few Han people. Will you also contribute?"

Su You: "..."

On December 25, the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Jialiang and Renduo Baozhong surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

The commanders of the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town, the Heishan Weifu Army Division, the Gansu Military Division, and the Xiping Military Division of the former Xia Kingdom also sent letters of surrender one after another, expressing their obedience to Bingchang's edict and submission to the Song Dynasty.

Su You ordered the memorial to be sent to Lingzhou on horseback. Now, the telegram has been extended there, and Li Shunju is in charge there.

…

Bianjing City, Military Aircraft Department.

At this time, the imperial court had generally gone on holiday, and because the Western affairs were not over yet, military aircraft and privy councilors still maintained the wartime duty system.

The conditions in the Military Aircraft Department were actually not very good. This place was the backyard of the original Wu Qi Temple. Everything was in accordance with the military organization. It was simple, efficient, and simple, which was Su You's requirement.

With such things as telegraphs, the importance of the Military Aircraft Department was immediately highlighted, which can be seen only from the number of times Zhao Xu came over.

The Military Aircraft Department is the only one receiving this year's rewards. Everyone knows that the Xia Kingdom only has a few follow-ups left, and no one can refuse to accept its contribution to the destruction of the country.

But no one expected that Su You would bring this ending to such a perfect conclusion.

Cai Jing, who was on duty, was so shocked that he dropped the exquisite brass oven in his hand when he received the telegram from Chao Buzhi.

The two looked at each other and saw inexplicable looks of shock and excitement in each other's eyes.

This is no longer a concept of overcoming the spirit of revival, this is a comprehensive acceptance of the Xixia territory!

In addition to Xingling, it also includes the entire Mobei and Hexi Corridors!

What is the concept? It means that except for the distant clouds, the territory of the Song Dynasty has exceeded that of the Han Dynasty, even excluding the New Songzhou, which is so far away that I don’t know where it is!

Super majestic Han Dynasty! This is the most exaggerated and extreme dream of any generation of Chinese monarchs and ministers who want to make a difference, and now Su You tells them that this dream is not exaggerated and can be realized!

Cai Jing felt his heart beating wildly. He wanted to speak, but found that his throat was dry and hoarse.

After taking a sip of tea, Cai Jing said something that even he couldn't believe: "What should we do now?"

After saying this, he regretted it. Such an important moment would definitely be written down in history. How could he say such a thing at such a time?!

He quickly went back and added: "New Year is coming soon. It is absolutely inappropriate to hit the Jingyang Bell and disturb the officials and people now. This news should be moved to the court meeting before being announced!"

"No blame, you go to the Imperial Academy and Sitong immediately and ask the newspapers and trading companies to suppress the news so that it cannot leak out. I will call the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister and enter the palace to congratulate His Majesty. How to make the announcement will have to be discussed with His Majesty.

Say it again."

After thinking for a while: "Go and call Zhang Zihou over. If he doesn't participate in this matter, he will hate me for the rest of his life."
Chapter completed!
