"Do you know your outcome in the original history? You were killed by him three years ago, and it seems that your whole family was killed."
Yang Feng looked at Fu Youde and said.
"I, I know, so I have to thank you!"
Fu Youde said slowly with a calm face.
"You're welcome!"
Yang Feng said sincerely.
Then Fu Youde's dead body fell down in silence...
He actually came to die.
He was strictly ordered by Lao Zhu to come to save Taiyuan.
And before he could set off from Peiping, Guo Ying led the Liaodong cavalry south.
So he either came to Taiyuan to die. This is for sure. How could he, an old man in his sixties, beat Yang Feng? Although he did show the strength of a top warrior with his extremely rich experience, he was actually there.
It's just holding on, let alone Yang Feng's cheating, Yang Feng can drag him to death without cheating. So he came to die, but he had no other choice, either die in battle, or Guo Ying took him down, Lao Zhu
If you find some crime to kill him, you can at least gain the reputation of dying for your country when you come to Taiyuan. Even if he can't keep his title as Duke Ying, Lao Zhu will still have to leave a marquis for his descendants.
It’s winning people’s hearts!
Let those generals take a look. You all say that I am suspicious of him. Am I suspicious of him?
No!
I'm very nostalgic.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng.
Ambassador Yang pulled out his bayonet and turned to look at the tower...
"Who else?"
He said very calmly.
There is no one left.
None of those military households were willing to resist. After all, Yang Feng gave them more. As for the generals, they were indeed affected to some extent, but the problem is that if Yang Feng rebels, they seem to have become ministers of the dragon!
A person becomes a dragon twice in his life...
Blessed is the old man.
He couldn't beat Yang Feng anyway.
As for the subordinates brought by Fu Youde, they should have received his order and did not choose to resist. They just left the city silently and put Fu Youde's body in the coffin. Then it was left to his son-in-law to deal with the funeral affairs. As for Yang Feng and He Shen,
Then he entered Taiyuan City amidst the cheers of the soldiers and civilians, and then sent orders to all parts of Shanxi, requiring generals and officials in various places to secure their positions.
Although the River God has theoretically completed the takeover of Shanxi, it still has to make this matter clear with the Ming Emperor.
After all, the Ming Emperor is the real master.
Therefore, until the River God and the Ming Emperor formally signed a transfer treaty, various places maintained the status quo.
Only taxes have stopped collecting.
After all, people have to see the real thing.
As for all the needs of various places, Ambassador Yang's bank will advance them and then pay them back when everything is back on track. This is equivalent to the bank lending a national debt to the Song Dynasty.
Of course, this involves many specific matters.
However, there is no need for Ambassador Yang or He Shen to worry about such trivial matters. After all, the officials in various government offices are locals, and they will bear the burden. As for those officials, most of them are not ready to leave, including the Shanxi Chief Envoy and other government offices.
They are all operating normally. They are even still the Chief Envoys of Shanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty, so they can explain to His Majesty the Emperor that they have not succumbed to thieves. Similarly, they can also explain to the people that they are only temporarily acting in accordance with the orders of the River God.
After all, the Song Dynasty court had not yet been established.
Before the official handover, let me tell you when officials from the Song Dynasty will come and they will leave the Yamen.
If the Song Dynasty officials never come...
Then everyone can just keep acting as agents.
The leaders who originally surrounded Taiyuan returned with their young men.
They have to go back and prepare for war.
We are not three-year-olds, so how can we believe that it is over like this? Although River God and Ambassador Yang did not say anything, everyone must understand what to do. The young and strong people all started practicing, forcing the senior fellow villagers and wise men to pay.
Those who make firearms make firearms, and those who should make armor make armor. Anyway, Shanxi is neither short of minerals nor lack of craftsmen. Give them some time, they can arm all the young men in Shanxi, and then put all the cannons and matchlocks on the city wall
.
The land of Sanjin reappears in the Wubao era.
In short, the whole of Shanxi has almost completely entered the armed state spontaneously.
And it's the most advanced.
As for the river god...
The river god is on the move!
The river god didn't stay in Taiyuan for long at all, and then headed south.
Half a month later, Luzhou.
"According to the imperial edict of the Emperor of Heaven, I started from Huaiyou in cloth clothes. In the past twenty years, I have been in the world and respected by all the people. Your Excellency was born to be loyal to the Song Dynasty and died to be the god of rivers and mountains. You should stay in your position and protect the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Why?
Starting a rebellion? When I first started, I did respect the Song Dynasty and held the title of Dragon and Phoenix. This is known to everyone. However, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty thought that the world was in conflict and was unable to control the country. He believed that I had the grace to save lives, so he asked the world to give in to each other. This is also known to everyone.
It's not for me to take it away.
Why did you bring chaos to the world by restoring the Song Dynasty?
As the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, I have the responsibility to protect all people, and I cannot cause you to cause trouble in the world. I hope that you will know your way back and return to the immortal mansion, and restore peace to the people. I will have temples set up in various places to offer sacrifices.
…”
Prince Consort Wang Ning took the imperial edict and read it to the river god in front of him.
They had been forced to stay in Zezhou before.
After the fall of Taiyuan, they obtained the imperial edict in Zezhou, and then went north to declare the edict. They were regarded as the envoys sent by the Ming Emperor to formally negotiate with the River God. However, they did not bring troops, after all, they did not have any. As for the Luzhou Guards, they could not tell at this time.
Which end is it from?
Because of Heshen's policy of directly allocating guard land to military households, various guard posts in Shanxi Province changed their banners one after another.
No twists and turns at all.
Even if there are generals who are unwilling, they can only agree when faced with the eager eyes of their own soldiers. It has to be said that this move is too cruel. Of course, this shows that the military households have long been dissatisfied, just because
His Majesty the Emperor's prestige and favor prevented it from breaking out, but now that someone was igniting it, he couldn't control it immediately.
But the system itself is indeed unreasonable.
The burden on the people is lightened.
But the burden on military households has increased!
Once there is a long period of peace, it will inevitably lead to the accumulation of dissatisfaction among military households.
At this time, the river god was still on his shrine.
However, there was no large group of people, just hundreds of honor guards accompanying them.
As for Ambassador Yang, of course he is not accompanying him.
It is said that they chose a suitable place for the Jin vassal to go to Fengzhouchuan. Although Shanxi has now returned to the Song Dynasty, the river god believes that the Song Dynasty ends at Yanmen Pass, so everything outside Yanmen Pass is not the territory of the Song Dynasty. Since it is now conquered by the Ming Dynasty,
From now on, it will be regarded as the Ming Dynasty, so it will be easy for the Jin vassal to move to where it wants. As for the promises made by the people of Shanxi before, the River God believes that since they have been promised, they must abide by them.
Therefore, it was necessary to build cities, roads, and palaces for the Jin vassal.
Be honest and honest.
Fortunately, for the army and people of Shanxi, this is no longer a big deal. Besides, it is just a plan. Who knows what will happen next? Could it be that after fighting with the Ming Dynasty, they would build a palace for the Jin vassal?
"Everyone knows that Emperor Ming regards Hu Yuan as his official successor. Why did your envoy deceive him?"
Said the ethereal voice of the river god.
Wang Ning was embarrassed.
"Your Excellency has misunderstood. Your Majesty has never recognized Zhengshuo. These are all folk rumors. What's more, the theory of Zhengshuo is a family opinion. If there is Zhengshuo in the world, how can the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties be Zhengshuo?
Taking Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo?
Before the Song Dynasty, Liao was regarded as his elder brother, and he was given Sui coins every year. Is this Zhengshuo?
Later, he made Jin the emperor and regarded himself as a vassal in the south of the Yangtze River. Is this Zhengshuo?
If you want the Ming Dynasty to inherit the Zhengshuo of the Song Dynasty, then the Song Dynasty must be worthy of it. How can the Song Dynasty be respected by our Ming Dynasty? Isn’t the territory of our Ming Dynasty now several times that of the Song Dynasty? If the Song Dynasty is the Zhengshuo, then Yunnan,
What did the people of Liaodong, Yan Dynasty, Fusang, Korea, and Hexi do to the Song Dynasty?
Which of these is Song Chen?"
Lai Gong said.
The river god was silent.
Obviously, Lai Duxian's words were very lethal.
My Da Song is indeed very shy!
"Your Majesty was born in common people, expelled the Tartars and brought peace to the people, and brought peace to the people. No one can achieve righteousness in the country more than Your Majesty. So why should you respect Zhengshuo? Your Majesty is the most righteous. Do you need others to recognize it? It is the Taizu of the Song Dynasty.
To gain the world by deceiving orphans and widows, I'm afraid it can't be called righteousness. I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, do not need to respect any previous dynasty's righteousness, and I will neither respect Hu Yuan nor Song Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty.
Your Majesty got it by clearing the troubled times. He didn't win the world by bullying the orphans, widows and charming people. He conquered even an inch of land. Your Majesty is invincible. Every place where the Ming Dynasty's iron hoof steps on is Your Majesty's country. This is the Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to respect it anymore.
What should I do before going to Zhengshuo?"
Lai Gong said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude.
The river god continued to be speechless, obviously overwhelmed by Lai Duxian's righteousness.
"Your Excellency thought that the dragon spirit of the Song Dynasty still existed, so you raised troops to cause chaos. I would like to ask, where is the dragon spirit of the Song Dynasty?
If we take the descendants of the Zhao family, there are many people still alive in the world, and these generations have all respected Your Majesty and are our subjects of the Ming Dynasty. If we take the direct heirs of the Zhao family, the Young Emperor of the Song Dynasty was only eight years old when he died for his country and had no heirs. If we take the dragon and the phoenix
The emperor has no heirs. I would like to ask, where is the dragon spirit of the Song Dynasty that your Excellency mentioned? Is there any descendants of the Zhao family in Canyuan? If so, can someone who considers his enemy as his father be qualified?
emperor?
If there are folk rumors that Ambassador Yang is a descendant of the Zhao family, Ambassador Yang has already categorically denied it.
And he himself sneered at it.
He even made it clear that calling Song Huizong his ancestor was the greatest insult to him, and was even quite humiliating to Song Huizong.
Then who else does your Excellency have?"
Lai Gong continued to question as if he was possessed by Zhuge Liang.
Wang Ning and others looked at him with admiration.
As expected, Lai Duxian was very knowledgeable and blocked the river god back in no time.
"Someone just senses its direction, but doesn't know where it is."
The river god was obviously a little confused.
"Your Excellency has been in contact with Ambassador Yang for many days. So, Ambassador Yang must not be?"
Song Zhong said.
"Yes!"
said the river god.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, so that the most critical issue was solved. Now that the River God has confirmed that Ambassador Yang is not the reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty or a descendant of Song Huizong, those unruly people can no longer cause trouble with this. This must be done quickly.
His Majesty the Emperor, tell the world!
This is an unexpected surprise!
"In this case, does the River God still insist on continuing the quarrel?"
Lai Gong continued to question.
"I am a minister of the Song Dynasty, but I have a glimmer of hope and cannot give up. You don't need to say more. I know its direction and should continue to search for it. If you dare to stop me, I will have no choice but to kill you!"
The river god said firmly.
Then his guard of honor began to move forward.
Song Zhong looked at the commander of the Luzhou Guard beside him.
The latter looked melancholy, but the soldiers behind him obviously had no intention of coming forward. Even the unscrupulous people were looking at them with ill intentions. Song Zhong was also a rebel, and of course he understood that nothing could be said at this time.
It’s useless. These unscrupulous people, whether they are military households or not, do they really believe in the river god? It’s nothing more than equalizing farmland and freeing grain, and military households directly dividing land. They are just using a banner. This is what they want, even if this is
When it was confirmed that the river god was Yang Feng in disguise, they would not admit the fact.
Lao Song also understood.
It was the same way back then.
Of course, he also knows better that this is really troublesome. Such unscrupulous people are often the most tenacious. Just like when he was young, they will fight to the death on the battlefield without retreating.
"In this case, please ask the River God to find out where the Dragon Qi of the Great Song Dynasty is.
Let me wait and see."
Lai Gong said.
The river god said nothing, and the thirty-two-carrying shrine continued to move forward.
"I'm here, what should I do?"
Song Zhong asked hurriedly later.
At this time, no one can stop Xiangnan at least before leaving Shanxi. Fu Youde died in Taiyuan, Xu Huizu bound himself and went south to plead guilty, Li Jinglong had already gone to Beijing to plead guilty, and Chang Sheng led his army northward but was blocked by the Yellow River. Of course, everyone knows him
He must be hindered. After all, the River God still has a task to complete. Before he completes it, the emperor's grandson will not interfere with him!
Commander Song was the Commander of the Jinyi Guards, and he knew all the inside information. He even belonged to the emperor's grandson family.
But now they are defending the land!
"Commander Song, can you beat him?"
Wang Ning said.
"Prince-in-law, you are kidding. With all my abilities on the battlefield, I am just a partial general. Even Duke Ying died in battle. How can I defeat him?"
Song Zhong looked at him speechlessly.
If he still fights, Yang Feng can just pull out his gun and give him a shot.
"That's it. Since we can't stop him, let him go. Song Guogong has already escorted the emperor's grandson to the north. I'll follow him honestly. I want to see how he ends up."
Wang Ning said very meaningfully.
Then they followed the river god.
River God continued to go south, and when he arrived in Zezhou, he was still welcomed by the army and the people. However, he also received news here that Feng Sheng, Duke of Song Dynasty, led an army of 20,000 to escort the emperor's grandson northward. He had arrived in Kaifeng and took over the city defense. When River God came out of Tianjing Pass, he encountered
He met the emperor's grandson's envoy, who invited the river god to Kaifeng and was willing to explain everything to the river god face to face.
At the same time, it was also stated that Ambassador Yang had been invited to go south and meet together in Kaifeng.
Of course, Ambassador Yang is too far away, so we can only say that he will come if he can, and if he can't come, we can't force him.
In this case, the river god continues to move forward.
Although it is an area controlled by the Ming Dynasty along the way, all places have been ordered by the emperor Taisun that no one can block the river god, and the people are allowed to worship the river god. Even the local officials have to greet him with courtesy. In short, they welcome him as a real god.
In this way, the river god moved forward in the worship of the people along the way, all the way to the bank of the Yellow River.
