According to the latest information obtained by Xichang, the Jin people's envoy has now set off for Xixia.
According to the wishes of the pseudo-Golden Emperor Wanyan Wu, he tried to form an alliance with Li Qianshun, the pseudo-Emperor of Xixia; then when he regained some strength and became stronger next autumn, he would join forces to invade the Song Dynasty.
I believe that rather than letting them take the initiative, we should take the initiative.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Jin people were losing troops and generals, and the morale of the whole army was greatly reduced, they sent troops to the north to attack the Huanglong Mansion, so that these Jurchens could completely destroy the country.
Of course, I also understand that it is indeed a bit hasty to send troops in early February next year.
But since I have proposed such a battle plan, naturally..."
Late that night, in the Chuigong Hall of the Song Dynasty Palace, Hu Biao said the above long words to Queen Maode, who was still dressed in plain clothes.
The purpose, of course, is to try to make Queen Maud understand and agree that they should start preparing now.
Then more than three months later, the Northern Expedition was officially launched.
Although even if Queen Maode does not agree, they can still push forward such a matter; the problem is that Hu Biao does not want his fellow time travelers to leave because Zhao Fujin's resentment is too great, leaving a mess of infighting here.
Therefore, the best situation is to reach a consensus on this matter with Her Majesty Queen Maode.
Therefore, in front of Queen Maode, he had to start laying out the facts, reasoning, and explained in detail.
As for the fact that he asked to see Queen Maud at such a late hour alone, would it cause some gossip among the people?
For a moment, he couldn't care less.
There was no way! The group of them spent too much time formulating a response plan because of the sudden arrival of the third phase of the mission.
By the time everything was settled, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.
If we enter the palace tomorrow morning and wait until the discussion is clear, wouldn't it be a waste of precious time for another day?
So in desperation, Hu Biao could only go to the palace overnight to see Queen Maode; even for the late dinner, he drank cold water and ate a few cold steamed buns on the way.
More importantly, there are rumors that Cao Cao and Hu Yitong stayed overnight in the palace, and the palace was in chaos, which means that Kaifeng City is slightly better, and other places have long been rumored to be what they are.
Regarding these things, Hu Biao is a little numb.
It's a bit like having too many debts and not having to worry about them, and having too many lice and not biting them.
What Hu Biao didn't expect was that before he could explain all the major principles he had organized in his mind to Queen Maode one by one.
After hearing the other person's mouth, he directly interrupted his chattering with a very unexpected statement:
"Hu Qing, there is no need to say more. The hatred between me and the Jin people is irreconcilable, and allowing the Jin country to exist for one more day is the most painful thing in my heart.
I will fully support this Northern Expedition.
There should be tens of thousands of copper coins in the inner treasury, and I also have some jewelry. I will have someone deliver it tomorrow, which will be used to cover some military expenses for the Northern Expedition.
If there is a need for me to accompany the army on the expedition and beat the drums to cheer the army, there is no harm in doing so."
When I heard this, I looked at the other party's plain clothes, and when he said the above, he looked like he was gritting his teeth.
Hu Biao, who had been in a meeting all day and was so dizzy, finally realized something at this moment.
Empress Maode is probably one of the Song people who hates the Jurchens the most in the world...
And when Hu Biao hurriedly returned to the Privy Council from the Song Dynasty Palace, he found that all the netizens were there, and they were still working overtime.
They are all busy with the Northern Expedition plan, various tasks of recruiting troops and hoarding supplies.
Even after seeing Hu Biao come back, there is a lot in folklore that there is something like a dragon that has its head but not its tail, and it is the so-called "Fantasy Saint" Master Huang Fatty.
With a stern look on his face, he handed over a manuscript that was still wet.
Speaking of which! Before major forces in ancient times went to war, they would always send out an impassioned statement of measures to show that their side occupied the moral high ground and was on the righteous side.
The important thing is that once a message is sent out, it can surpass the power of thousands of troops.
How can Hu Biao and others escape from the vulgarity of the current era? Before this Northern Expedition, it was natural to write the previous article.
Anyway, the news of this kind of national war is shocking, and there is no way to hide the news.
As for Huang Yizhi, he considered himself to be the literary person in charge of the entire Xuange Battalion; he took on the task of writing a memorandum without hesitation.
When Hu Biao went to the palace, he wrote a self-proclaimed heroic essay.
I plan to wait until Hu Biao has read it and then print it out through an excellent carrier such as the Song Dynasty Times. I will finish writing it this evening and print it out before dawn.
After Hu Biao took it and took a look, he could immediately see a large series of dense handwriting on a piece of white paper written by the boss.
The title at the beginning is really awesome: Fengtian Northern Expedition to Quest for Gold.
The content is full of indescribable brilliance:
Since ancient times, when emperors came to rule the world, they planted flowers and lived inside to control the barbarians. The barbarians lived outside and planted flowers for worship. It is unheard of to say that the barbarians lived in the house and planted flowers to control the world.
…
From then on, the ministers who pretended to be gold did not obey the ancestral precepts and destroyed the rules and regulations, just like the great virtues who abolished the elders and established the young. Taiding used ministers to kill the king, and the calendar used brothers to kill brothers. As for the brothers taking their brothers and wives, and the sons conquering their fathers and concubines.
They are familiar with each other, and it is not strange to be calm. It is extremely disrespectful and chaotic to the relationship between father, son, monarch, minister, husband, wife, elder and young...
Okay! It’s not that Huang Yizhi’s literary accomplishments immediately skyrocketed after he wrote too many articles.
In fact, this shameless thing was just a reminder of the time when Zhu Chongba led his army in the Northern Expedition to regain the Northern Territory more than two hundred years later.
The article written by Song Lian, the famous "Fengtian Northern Expedition to Conquer the Yuan Dynasty", has only been revised a little.
But then again, for Fatty Huang to be able to memorize such a lengthy statement, the literary level and accomplishments of the entire Xuange Battalion team are already very impressive.
Of course, it doesn't matter how such a statement came about.
The important thing is that Hu Biao read it over in a hurry, said there was nothing wrong with it, and immediately asked the Song Dynasty Times to publish it on the front page.
The message conveyed by this thing is destined to cause a huge storm in such an eastern land...
****
He was yawning in the still cold morning breeze.
Du Baojun walked straight into a roadside food stall, ignoring the oily seats and benches with many peddlers and lackeys sitting on them. He looked a little strange in his clean green official robe.
Without looking back, he yelled out this sentence: "Zhang Laizi, you are acting the same today~"
There's no way! The lame guy's craftsmanship is really good. Even though the environment here is a bit poor, the pancakes and fruit and beef offal soup he sells are simply delicious.
If you do this in the morning, your whole body will be warm all morning on such an autumn day.
A few days ago, due to the attack of the Jin army, Zhang Laizi did not leave the stall for half a month, which made Du Baojun feel empty every day, as if something was missing.
After hearing this, the cripple Zhang immediately replied in a cheerful voice: "Okay, Mr. Du, just wait a moment~"
The main reason is that the super deluxe version of the pancake fruit that Du Baojun eats not only has two chickens, but also some chicken breasts.
If you sell one of them, you can earn as much as several ordinary pancakes.
After shouting such a sentence, Du Baojun finally picked up today's latest "Da Song Times" and started reading it.
It should be noted that the "Da Song Times" has now accepted subscription business, so every time Du Baojun goes out, he takes the newspaper delivered by the postman early and reads it while eating the morning meal.
But the difference today is that today he just took a look.
It was because of the headline article about Fengtian's Northern Expedition to Quest for Gold that attracted all the attention that even after the beef soup and pancakes and fruit were served, he didn't even bother to take a bite.
After reading the article, Du Baojun only had the words "Northern Expedition" and "Straight to Huanglong Mansion" lingering in his mind.
Let me ask you about the Jingkang scandal half a year ago. Which Song Dynasty person does not think it is the biggest shameful memory in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, they not only defeated the Jin soldiers, but also now went to the Northern Expedition and went straight to Huanglong Mansion.
As soon as he thought of this, Du Baojun was filled with pride and wanted to do something? For example, drink a glass of strong wine.
It's just that Zhang Laizi's pilgrimage stall even offers very few types of pilgrimage, let alone wine.
In his excitement, Du Baojun simply picked up the beef soup in front of him and poured a big mouthful into his mouth; then, with a burning feeling in his throat, Du Baojun felt that his whole body was not good.
In short, for such an impulsive action, it was difficult for this guy to even speak for a whole day.
It was only after this "Fengtian Northern Expedition to Quest for Gold" gradually spread to all directions that it caused such a huge impact and follow-up.
In comparison, trivial matters like Du Baojun's are simply not worth mentioning...
