Chapter 1,564: Temporary official position, Wan Yanping seeks marriage
There were originally twenty-three roads (provinces and states) in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was said that there were still sixteen roads, but in fact, most of the originally fertile lands in the Northern Song Dynasty were occupied by the Tatars.
Among the remaining sixteen roads, Beijing South Road is not the richest, but it is the most important.
Because this is the first dangerous barrier that prevents the Tatars from going south.
Now, Zhao Yun suddenly granted Su Mingzhe a white body and recruited him as an envoy to the south of the capital, making him one of the sixteen frontier officials in the world. This was not a random grant.
The "Jingnan Recruitment Envoy" was an official position established in the Song Dynasty to be in charge of military affairs during wartime.
Although in wartime, he was able to govern the five states of Xiang, Sui, Ying, Fang, Jun, and the Guanghua Army, he could be regarded as a powerful and powerful prince with heavy troops.
However, once the war is over, the ambassador will have to return to Beijing for business!
In other words, this is a thankless temporary official position!
Of course, even if this is a temporary official position, it is enough to be envied by many people.
After all, Su Mingzhe was originally just a knight-errant, but because he led a team to destroy the 70,000 Mongolian army, he was directly promoted to a frontier official by Zhao Yun.
In the eyes of most people, this means reaching the sky in one step.
Not only are some people envious, but some are even jealous and even dissatisfied.
However, these jealous and dissatisfied people dare not express it openly.
After all, the Tatars were about to attack the city.
If Su Mingzhe could not withstand the Tatar attack, he might be dead.
The so-called glory of life is just a flash in the pan.
…
Accompanied by the Xiangyang Supervisory Army, Su Mingzhe came to his Yamen Advocate.
The Yamen of the Advocates and Envoys is located next to the Yamen of the Advocates and Envoys.
On the night Su Mingzhe moved in, many local officials, gentry, military generals, and heroes from all walks of life came to congratulate him.
After the banquet.
Su Mingzhe took Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhu Ziliu and others to discuss military matters.
The Tatars now claim to have an army of 400,000, which is twice the number of the defenders of Xiangyang City. With their fierce reputation, their coming force is no small matter.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong couldn't think of a better way for the time being, so they could only choose to block it with soldiers and cover it with water and earth.
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe smiled and said:
"Master, Mistress, this disciple originally had an idea, but because the time was not ripe, he did not express it. Now that the imperial court has asked me to take charge of Jingnan Road, I think the time is ripe!"
"What's the idea?"
Huang Rong knew that her eldest disciple not only had amazing talent in martial arts, but also always had fantastic ideas in other areas.
"Actually, I don't think we can rely solely on the army to fight against the Tatars and regain the Central Plains!"
As Su Mingzhe spoke, he spelled out the sixteen-character policy for guerrilla warfare.
"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!"
Guo Jing read it several times and was quite moved.
However, he knew that although this sixteen-character policy sounds nice, it may be difficult to implement.
Huang Rong hit the nail on the head and put forward the key points:
"Mingzhe, your method is good, but it will be difficult to select talents to implement it, right?"
"Master, Master, now our great Song Dynasty is in danger. It can only be overthrown by the Tatars' thoughts. It's time now. No matter how difficult it is, I still want to give it a try!"
Su Mingzhe knows better than anyone how painful guerrilla warfare is.
Moreover, guerrilla warfare places extremely high demands on the cultural and ideological quality of personnel behind enemy lines.
The Central Plains had been occupied by the Jin Kingdom for more than a hundred years.
In the places occupied by the Tatars, the Han people in the Central Plains were called Jin people instead of Song people.
The land of Youyan further away is not the land of the Song people.
It is not easy to engage in guerrilla warfare in these places.
However, Su Mingzhe had already calculated dozens of times in his mind that he wanted to engage in guerrilla warfare.
It was only after I discovered that doing so would maximize my own interests that I spoke out.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe was determined, Guo Jing and Huang Rong said nothing more.
The real reason is that as Su Mingzhe said, the Southern Song Dynasty is now in danger, and it would be great if Su Mingzhe can find a way.
What kind of bicycle do you want?
…
"Long'er, are you still awake?"
After a busy time, Su Mingzhe returned to the bedroom and saw Xiao Longnu still sitting on the bedside, waiting for him, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
??????55.??????
It is already summer in April.
It’s hot in Xiangyang.
Xiao Longnu only wore a light gauze dress, with her milky white bellyband half exposed. When Su Mingzhe saw it, his eyes widened.
They had only been married for a few months, and Xiao Longnu was already a bit as charming as Wang Yuyan.
Xiao Longnu was leaning on the bed in a daze, but when she saw the man coming back, her eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise:
"Official——"
"What's wrong?"
Su Mingzhe was a little surprised to see Xiao Long Goddess excited. He got on the bed, held the woman in his arms, and while loving her, he guessed and asked in a low voice:
"Long'er, are you not used to living here?"
"Um!"
Xiao Longnu followed Su Mingzhe to the Advocate's Yamen in the afternoon and checked into the backyard directly.
As a result, in this backyard, in addition to the gold and silver jewelry gifted by the emperor, there were also many servants and maids, as well as eight beauties gifted by the emperor.
Since Zhao Yun ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has been fond of beauty.
The beauties he rewarded were naturally the best in the world.
Su Mingzhe heard Xiao Longnu's worry and quickly comforted him:
"Long'er, don't worry, no matter how beautiful they are, they still can't compare to you in my heart!"
Xiao Longnu still had some troubles to tell the man, but Su Mingzhe was already feeling hot all over.
At this critical moment, even the most important things must be postponed!
After the clouds and rain.
Xiao Longnu had long forgotten all her troubles, happily nestled in the man's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe went to the city gate tower to prepare to resist the Tatar attack.
Xiao Longnu originally wanted to practice her "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" just like she did in the ancient tomb, but before she could enter meditation, there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
"Princess, old slave Bai Lian, please give my regards to the princess!"
An old woman heard the commotion and pushed in the door with a young girl. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground and saluted the little dragon girl:
"Old slave, give your regards to the princess!"
Xiao Longnu saw this, but ignored her, her face was as cold as usual and she said:
"I am not your princess! My surname is not Wanyan either!"
Just yesterday, this old woman came here once. When they met, she said that Xiao Longnu was the orphan of the Jin Kingdom's royal family.
It was also vividly told more than 20 years ago.
The Kingdom of Jin was jointly attacked by Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty. Seeing that the country was about to be destroyed, how did she protect the newborn little dragon girl and send her to the front of the Chongyang Palace?
Xiao Longnu agreed with the old woman's description.
After all, her name came from the fact that the swaddling clothes she was wrapped in were made of bright yellow fabric and had a golden dragon embroidered on it.
Ever since Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe, bright yellow fabric has always been a royal item.
The embroidered five-clawed golden dragon is exclusive to the royal family.
The fact that her parents could wrap themselves in such embroidered swaddling clothes shows that she is most likely a descendant of the royal family.
However, it has been more than ten years since the Jin Kingdom was destroyed.
These so-called 'relative subordinates' came to the door, and Xiao Longnu naturally guessed that they had bad intentions.
Therefore, yesterday she refused to recognize this so-called princess status.
Last night, Xiao Longnu wanted to tell Su Mingzhe, but Su Mingzhe blocked her.
Now these people have come to visit me again. Judging from the situation, they are quite shameless.
Xiao Longnu also felt a headache for a while.
After all, she has never dealt with these things!
"Princess, it doesn't matter whether your surname is Wanyan or not, but today I brought your sister!"
Bai Lian didn't waste any time. He stood up and pulled the girl in white beside him to get her closer to the little dragon girl.
Xiao Longnu and the other girls took a closer look, and then realized that the girl's eyebrows were somewhat similar to her own.
The feeling of blood connection also made her feel a little warm:
"May I have your name?"
The young girl looked at Xiao Longnu and felt the same way. Faced with the inquiry, she immediately said timidly:
