At this time, the emperor had received the news that the entire 50,000-strong Song army had been destroyed. The old emperor, who was already in his dying years, immediately fainted with anger. All the ministers in the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty were waiting anxiously, because the imperial doctors were in a hurry.
Healing the old emperor.
Because the old emperor Song Renzong still has a son, and in the original play, Sheng Hong did not die until he went to Bianjing to become an official. Therefore, these great ministers did not feel too anxious, but instead focused all their energy on Yangzhou.
Regarding the matter, Mr. Shen looked at the few people with a frown and said with a sigh, "Now the war is tense in the northwest and the north. The pressure faced by the British government can be said to be very great. Liao Wenjun was so unsatisfactory in Yangzhou. Then...
I really don’t know how to deal with it.”
"Xianggong Shen, the matter of Yangzhou is not a big concern. The territory of one state is not a big concern and only needs to be besieged from all sides. On the contrary, I am worried about Daliao and Xixia, because I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to invade the Song Dynasty.
" At this time, Mr. Han Daxianggong on the side analyzed disapprovingly and said, after all, Liao and Xixia were the recognized life and death enemies of the Song Dynasty, and all the energy of the Song Dynasty was focused on the border.
"Yes! These jackals will not give up such a good opportunity." Shen Daxiangong naturally nodded in agreement, and suddenly felt that it was very uncomfortable to be attacked from both sides.
At this moment, a young eunuch walked out of the inner palace. When he saw the ministers, he bowed and explained, "My ministers, Your Majesty has woken up and is about to summon some ministers."
"oh?"
Immediately afterwards, several senior ministers followed the eunuch into the inner palace in surprise. The old emperor on the dragon bed still looked particularly weak. He looked at the senior ministers in front of him with some difficulty and asked, "Masters, what are you doing?"
Have you come up with an idea?"
"Your Majesty, detailed news has been sent back from Yangzhou. The Ningyuan Army has released the river vessels, which means that the material shortage problem in Bianjing has been solved." Seeing the old emperor lying on the bed and still thinking all over, several senior ministers
They all showed unbearable looks, and then the wealthy husband tried his best to pick out the good news and report it.
"Hmph! This is a slap in the face and a sweet date!" How could Song Renzong, who had been the emperor for most of his life, be a fool? He immediately noticed the intentions of Suning and Ning Yuanjun.
"Your Majesty, after all, Yangzhou is just a pond and a place. The crisis of the Song Dynasty is still that of Liao and Xixia." Seeing that the old emperor was so prejudiced against Suning and Ningyuan's army, several senior ministers on the side looked at each other a little, and then Han
The Grand Master quickly reminded the old emperor and said.
"I know! Don't worry! I won't mobilize the army from the border." The old emperor naturally knew what these great ministers were worried about. They were just worried that he would mobilize the army from the border regardless.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"My dear Sirs, how should the Yangzhou issue be resolved? Please come up with a charter as soon as possible. I, the Song Dynasty, cannot afford a few 50,000 troops."
"Your Majesty, several generations of Ning Yuanhou's Gu family have served as generals in the army and have a great influence on the army. If this continues, it will inevitably cause turmoil in our army. Therefore, I suggest that Gu Yan call for a meeting
The elder of the Gu family opened an ancestral hall and expelled Gu Tingye from the Gu family tree. Naturally, Gu Tingye would not be able to rely on the influence of the Gu family." Xianggong Shen quickly expressed his opinion to the emperor, because the Gu family was in the army.
Its prestige is unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Okay! Go to Tianlao and ask Gu Yankai and Mr. Gu Jiazong to take care of it."
"Your Majesty, you can also order some regiments to be recruited around Yangzhou, and then directly besiege Yangzhou City to death." Then Han Daxiangong looked at the emperor and said, preparing to do a slow job, mainly because they can't bear the heavy pressure.
It was frustrating.
"Everyone, I don't know who to send as a general to lead this matter?" As the emperor, he naturally knew the specific situation of the Song Dynasty, and then asked directly without comment.
"Murong Yanzhao."
"Oh? Is that the Murong who often targets Gu Tingye?" The male protagonist is not living a comfortable life in the capital. This Murong Yanzhao is always targeting the male protagonist, and the old emperor naturally knows a lot about the situation in Bianjing.
"Exactly!"
"Okay! Then I will order Murong Yanzhao to go and take charge of the affairs of Yangzhou. I must destroy this Ningyuan Army." Considering that Murong Yanzhao is a veteran general in the Song Army, he must have no problem dealing with a small Ningyuan Army.
Down.
"Yes! Your Majesty."
...
Soon, the news that Ningyuan's army wiped out 50,000 Song troops immediately shocked everyone in Yangzhou and the world. Those officials and wealthy businessmen who were dragged to the salt village to do coolies chose to join them. The main reason was that they couldn't eat it at all.
This hard work is a kind of inhuman torture for these pampered guys.
"Your Majesty, Commander, you have lived up to your command! Most of the officials and wealthy businessmen are willing to join our army." Sure enough, Wang Zhizhou came back with excitement and pride on his face, feeling that he had done a very good job in his first job joining the Ningyuan Army.
"Oh? Does that mean there are still many die-hards?" Suning became curious about those "die-hards" and was surprised that they didn't think it was hard work in the salt village.
"Huh? That's right! After all, the Imperial Examination has been held for so many years in the Song Dynasty, and it is still regarded as orthodox by everyone." Wang Zhizhou explained feeling somewhat embarrassed when he realized that the young man in front of him was not easy to fool.
"Well, then keep these people and use them as bargaining chips in future negotiations."
"Yes! Sir Commander."
The 50,000 Song troops were wiped out so easily, which naturally caused the Ningyuan army to expand and grow rapidly. You must know that these Song troops are the best source of troops, and are certainly more suitable for transformation than those salt soldiers.
, Suning then transferred 30,000 of its best surrendered troops to join the Ningyuan Army, and the remaining 10,000 or so people were all sent to the salt village to dry up the salt.
"Hualan, your father and your brother are both stubborn, and they didn't choose to surrender to me." Suning found Sheng Hualan triumphantly, and naturally got tired of spending time with Sheng Hualan again.
"Sir, I..." Thinking that Suning next to her was angry, Sheng Hualan quickly wanted to plead for her family.
"Don't worry! I won't kill them." Before Sheng Hualan could finish her request, Suning had already smiled and comforted her.
"Thank you, sir."
"Also, let me tell you some good news. Your Aunt Wei has given birth to a baby boy. Your grandmother has named him Sheng Changsong."
"Ah? Really? This is great." Sure enough, Sheng Hualan laughed in surprise, and then looked at Suning with a pleading look on her face and said, "Sir, I want to go back to Sheng's house to see my family."
"Your father and brothers are unwilling to take refuge with me. If others find out that you are my maid, do you think they can return to the Song Dynasty?" Suning knew that the Sheng family still had doubts about him, so naturally he knew that they
Don't want to interact with yourself.
"Ah? This..." Sure enough, Sheng Hualan looked confused and realized that this was indeed an unsolvable problem.
"Haha, I will have someone send you there quietly later while the night is dark."
"Thank you, sir."
That night, Sheng Hualan wore a black cloak and came to the Sheng family under the escort of a group of Ningyuan troops. The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Sheng family couldn't help but feel surprised when they saw Sheng Hualan returning.
The wife cried with joy and hugged Sheng Hualan and said, "My poor Hua'er! I have made you suffer."
"Grandma, the commander is really nice to me. Hua'er doesn't feel wronged." Sheng Hualan knew that her family wanted to know about her situation, so she quickly explained to her grandmother with a smile.
"Gu Tingye?" Mrs. Sheng looked uncertainly at her eldest granddaughter and asked.
"Yes! Ning Yuan's army wiped out 50,000 Song troops yesterday." Worried that his family would not be optimistic about Suning and Ning Yuan's army, Sheng Hualan specifically explained yesterday's great victory.
"Grandma, I've heard about this too, but what on earth is this Gu Tingye going to do?" Suning and Ning Yuan's army were able to achieve a complete victory that was unexpected, but Mrs. Sheng still couldn't figure out Suning's true intention.
"He...he said he wanted to be the king, and he also said he would make me his concubine when the time comes."
"Ah? What? Is he waiting for the imperial court to recruit him?" At this time, Mrs. Sheng's eyes widened in horror. She really didn't expect Suning's ambition to be so big, and she quickly guessed Suning's general plan.
.
"It should be so! Wang Zhixin, the former governor of Yangzhou, has now surrendered to the Commander-in-Chief."
"Hey! It seems that my country, the Song Dynasty, is about to enter a troubled period."
"Grandma, do you think the commander will succeed?" Looking at the sighing grandmother in front of her, Sheng Hualan asked her.
"It's hard to say! Recruitment has always been my tradition in the Song Dynasty. There are also foreign invasions from Liao and Xixia in the northwest and north. Dali in the southwest is also unwilling to stop. In addition, the officials and the court adopted a policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs. Maybe
It really allowed Gu Tingye and Ning Yuanjun to achieve their goals."
"Great! Then I can become a concubine in the future?" After hearing her grandmother's analysis that Suning and Ning Yuanjun had a high chance of success, Sheng Hualan jumped up in surprise, and unknowingly her whole heart
My heart went to Suning.
"Silly boy, grandma doesn't care about concubines or concubines, as long as you and your brothers and sisters can be safe." Of course, Old Mrs. Sheng noticed the thoughts of the granddaughter in front of her, and then looked at Sheng Hualan helplessly and shook her head.
Shake his head.
"Grandma, I heard that Aunt Wei gave birth to a younger brother for me?" Then Sheng Hualan remembered the happy event at home, and then looked at her grandmother in front of her and asked.
"Yes! It was frightened by the sound of gunfire last night. It weighs eight kilograms. Fortunately, my mother learned the art of midwifery when she was young, otherwise it might be really dangerous."
"Ah? Eight pounds? How can it be so big?" Sheng Hualan opened her mouth in surprise and quickly covered her mouth with her handkerchief.
"Hmph! It's all the fault of that bitch Lin Zongshuang. She deliberately sent watery supplements into Wei Xiaoniang's yard, and Wei Xiaoniang was not allowed to move around. Fortunately, there was a sudden rebellion by the Ning Yuan Army. Otherwise, according to Lin Zongshuang's instructions
If the poisonous plan continues, your Aunt Wei will die of childbirth." At this time, Mrs. Sheng also noticed Lin Zongshuang's poisonous plan, and she couldn't help but explained with gnashing teeth in hatred.
"Ah? Aunt Lin can be so vicious?" Sheng Hualan was also shocked by Lin Zongshuang's vicious methods. She felt that this was something that ordinary people could not understand.
"Hey! I am also to blame for our Sheng family's affairs. I didn't want to make the relationship with your father too tense, so I deliberately put aside all trivial matters and went to Shou'an Hall to eat fast and pray for Buddha. I didn't expect that your father would be so confused, pampering his concubine and destroying his wife.
Our Sheng family is restless. If I had stopped your father's behavior earlier, Lin Zongshuang would not have become so heartless." Although she hated and disgusted Lin Zongshuang's methods in her heart, Mrs. Sheng still realized her own mistakes.
mistake.
"Grandma, I really don't blame you for this. The main reason is that my father is too partial to Lin Xiaoniang."
"Hey! Hua Lan, I wonder how your father and brother are doing now?" Then Mrs. Sheng asked about Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai. After all, they still don't know their specific whereabouts.
"Grandma, my father and Chang Bai are still working as coolies in the salt village. This time, Ning Yuan's army conquered many Yangzhou officials and subordinates with the power of victory. Unfortunately, my father and Chang Bai still persisted and refused to compromise.
"
"Hua Lan, your father and Chang Bai are right. After all, no one can predict the situation of Ning Yuan's army."
"ah?"
"Hua Lan, from now on we will announce to the outside world that you hanged yourself. I hope you can understand our painstaking efforts."
"Woooooo... Hua'er understands."
"Silly boy! Wipe your tears quickly and go see your brother."
"Yes! Grandma."
Looking at the back of her eldest granddaughter who was raised by herself, Mrs. Sheng couldn't help but be full of expectations. She also wanted to see whether Suning and Ning Yuanjun could succeed, or whether they would be defeated by the mighty power of the Song Dynasty next time.
The army was wiped out, and I really felt that Suning's behavior was too crazy.
...
Suning knew that in order to truly achieve the goal of rebellion, he had to spread the branches as soon as possible, otherwise it would be impossible to rely solely on those bastards from the Gu family. Naturally, he never thought about having any contact with them in the future.
, so I had to hide with Sheng Hualan every day to make @people.
"Uncle Liao, you can't return to the Song Dynasty now, why don't you just join our Ning Yuan Army." Suning left the big bed in the inner house feeling refreshed, and then came to the prison and sat in front of the prisoner with a prickly look.
.
"Hmph! How could I betray the Song Dynasty court because I was favored by the officials of the Song Dynasty?" Liao Wenjun rejected Suning without even thinking about it.
"Uncle Liao, do you think your family members still have a chance to survive?"
"This..." Thinking of his family in Bianjing, Liao Wenjun began to hesitate.
"You have also seen the strength of our Ningyuan Army. We can go directly to Bianjing and break through Bianjing City easily. But I don't want to really let the Song Dynasty perish."
"Gu Tingye, what are you going to do?" Of course Liao Wenjun knew clearly that Ning Yuanjun had this strength, so he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and then looked at Suning and asked.
"Uncle Liao, the Song Dynasty has always had a tradition of recruiting peace. I don't believe that the emperor and the prime ministers would not have this intention." Then Suning stated his intention. It was only because the Zhao and Song Dynasties were too weak.
"Ah? You...you want..." After understanding that Suning was just trying to be recruited by the court, Liao Wenjun's eyes widened in shock, naturally thinking that Suning and Ning Yuanjun could succeed.
"Haha, Uncle Liao, what do you think my chances of success are?" Suning laughed and looked at the stunned Liao Wenjun and asked.
"..."
"Uncle Liao, surrender to me! I will definitely make you prosperous."
"But...but...my family..."
"Don't worry! When Ning Yuan's army negotiates with the imperial court, I will bring your family members over safely."
"Your Majesty, Commander Liao Wenjun is willing to surrender." After hearing Suning's promise to take back his relatives, Liao Wenjun naturally knelt down on the ground without any hesitation.
"Haha, okay! I will accept your orders as the deputy commander of the Ningyuan Army and command the 10,000 infantry of the Ningyuan Army." At this time, Suning said in surprise that he had appointed Liao Wenjun, and would continue to conquer other Song Army generals in the future.
, they won’t be too repulsive to them anyway, after all, they are not those foreign barbarians in the north.
"Thank you, Commander."
Not only is his Ningyuan Army mainly composed of poor saltmen, but it is also personally trained by his own AI robots. In addition, the Ningyuan Army adopts the Mongolian thousand-household system, which is divided into thousand households, hundred households, general banners and
Xiaoqi, the officers and soldiers above Xiaoqi use their own AI robots, so naturally there is no need to worry about Liao Wenjun's loyalty to him.
