Chapter 1503 The former mortal enemy, Zhang Shuye with complicated emotions
In order to support Haotian's family, he said: I respect the ancestor of heaven and worship Hongji, but Lai Jiehong is the leader. Recently, foreign invaders are rampant, the country is in Shaoning, and there are many difficulties. I love you, Xiao Tang, and all the righteous people.
Mountains and rivers, overcoming dangers, pacifying the captives, and rescuing them, I am truly honored to do so. Because of the chaos caused by the gold thieves and barbarians, they wreaked havoc on the Central Plains, overthrew the cities, invaded the people, and shaken the capital, causing the country to suffer.
Due to the great calamity of the Qianyi people, Xiao Tang was ordered to be the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses. When he was in danger, he was granted the title and set up his own marshal's office to show his merit. The edict was issued immediately, and the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses was ordered to lead the army and horses.
Capital. The officers and men under his command worked together to be loyal, but their achievements were defeated. Xiao Aiqing awarded the reward on his own. The leaders of the three armies rewarded him for the money, food and property stolen by the Jin invaders, and wrote a record to report it. You are so impressive! Special edict...
When Yu Wenxuzhong loudly dismissed Dan's edict, Xiao Tang and all the leaders around him, including the Yongjian of the Ma Bu Army, all stood up and accepted it. The previous hostile attitude between the two parties resulted in a cooperative relationship being re-established to resist Jin's foreign invasion. However,
The relationship between Party A and Party B that facilitated this cooperation is quite different from the previous leader who became famous in the green forest and was recruited by the court.
The important and non-permanent positions such as the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses, who are in charge of military affairs and conquests, sound mighty and domineering. According to the official history, Zhao Gou was originally responsible for resisting the Jin army. If he were not the emperor in all dynasties, the prince would also
Don't even think about getting involved in such important positions that are outside the control of the original imperial military attache system during the war. The Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty was famous for its honors, and it was praised that the world was safe for thirty years.
Guo Ziyi, who was extremely devoted to his subjects but not caring about others, was extravagant and lustful, and was famous throughout China, could only be the deputy commander at the top. The important position of the world's marshal must also be held by the prince Li Chu (later changed his name).
Li Yu, Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty) did this, which also shows that during the emergency period of war, such extremely powerful titles must still be held by the royal family, and it is necessary to prevent extremely prestigious civil and military ministers from posing a threat to the dynasty.
But now that the authority and dignity of the royal family had been severely trampled by the Jin army earlier, and their wealth and life were still under threat, how could Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan care about so much?
After Xiao Tang took over the imperial edict from Yu Wenxuzhong, he looked around at the various officials of the Song Dynasty with complex expressions. Sure enough, he did not see any strong-minded officials such as Li Gang coming out to cause trouble.
Li Gang was temporarily reused because he organized the army and people of Bianjing to fight against the Jin army. In fact, his strong temper seemed to be unpopular with Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan. He originally had the power to supervise the imperial censor and concurrently hold the power of Zhao Huan.
Although he held an important position such as being a censor in the palace, he was dismissed from his post as an admonisher and moved to a living position because of his mistakes in discussing the government affairs. A few years later, when he was asked to submit a report, he was demoted to several positions by Zhao Ji and was relegated to Nanjianzhou to work as a tax collector in Shaxian County.
...counting the official history of the Southern Song Dynasty, he only served as prime minister for seventy-five days before he was dismissed... Even though the third generation of Song emperors Hui, Qin, and Gao all knew that Li Gang had outstanding abilities, he had to do it as a last resort.
They are unwilling to reuse him. What's more, now they just want to return to Bianliang, Tokyo as soon as possible. How can Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan patiently listen to his impassioned speech and come out to cause trouble?
Xiao Tang thought in his heart, in fact, although Li Gang strongly opposed the official delegation of power to Xiao Tang and this group of green forest soldiers who had betrayed the imperial court, what else could he have in mind? He just tried to advise Xiao Tang that this traitor should not dare to risk the world.
It is too big to plot against the Holy One, otherwise the soldiers and civilians in the world will be angry and will attack him in groups. It is better to let it last for a long time and refuse to teach the thieves to succeed. When the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all directions come, they will frighten the grass bandits and use force to intimidate Xiao Tang, the thieves.
Released back to the official family......
With such a risky and unrealistic approach, how could the two foolish kings Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan be willing to take risks?
After the imperial edict was issued, Xiao Tang sent his trusted leaders to escort the edict to the Customs and Defense Military Departments in various state capitals in the Song Dynasty to convey it to the world. He immediately prepared to set off and sent his army back to Bianliang, Tokyo. He led his army from the Jeju Administration Office.
Zhang Shuye, who coincidentally attacked the Jin army with Xiao Tang, but now feared that the two emperors were wrong and set up camp to confront Xiao Tang's troops, finally had the opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit.
When Xiao Tang came to the tent where Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were staying, only one person came to see the official Zhang Shu. Ye had just paid homage to the second emperor. He fell to the ground and shouted that his rescue was late, hoping that his majesty would be punished. But Zhang Shu
Ye finally met Xiao Tang, who had met several times on the battlefield, but this was the first time they had met each other up close. His expression was complicated, and he heard Xiao Tang Ji say in a deep voice: "Prefect Zhang, in the past I
When we were in the Liangshan Mountains with a group of brothers, we had different identities. Therefore, we were wary of each other, and friction and conflicts were inevitable. However, now that the Jin people have invaded, we, the green forest heroes, do not want to see the great country of the Central Plains being invaded by foreign invaders.
Disaster... Now we should focus on the overall situation.
Although the troops on the east route of the Jin Kingdom were defeated, most of the states and counties in the two routes of Hebei have fallen. The Jin people are bound to capture the key places in the states below Hedong and Jingdong in order to drive southward and invade the Central Plains. And Magistrate Zhang Enze
To intimidate the auxiliary prefectures and prefectures on both sides of the Jingdong and Shandong areas, we are prepared to prevent the Jin invaders from raising their troops south again, and we are determined not to neglect them. We also hope that in the future, our soldiers and horses can cooperate with each other to ward off the Jin thieves and foreign invaders, and then try to go north to fight against the prisoners.
The states and counties in Hebei have been restored."
After Zhang Shuye heard what Xiao Tang said loudly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the current situation, he really didn't know what attitude he should take to face the big rebel leader in front of him who he had planned to wipe out in the past.
At that time, Song Jiang, the leader of Liangshan village in Shuibo, I think it was true that he committed a serious crime by mistake, so he took refuge in Liangshan Poli. He only waited for the court to pardon his crime and bring him peace. He was sincere in his desire to contribute to the country, but this will happen again.
Xiao Tang, who was taken away from Liangshan by Shui Po... has failed to live up to the emperor's kindness, how can he have any loyalty to the court? He must also plan to eliminate it as soon as possible and eliminate the troubles for the country, but now he is in such a situation...
Zhang Shuye knew very well that although Xiao Tang was disloyal to the Song Dynasty, he was extremely kind to the good people of the world. He did not want foreign invaders to invade the Central Plains, and his intentions must be true. The biggest threat to the imperial court now is indeed luck and luck.
The military power has reached its peak, and it has decided to invade the Kingdom of Jin in the Central Plains. Under the Song Dynasty, all the military divisions were slack, how could Zhang Shuye not know? However, the most serious problem for the court now will indeed be to resist foreign invaders.
Strong support.
As for the funeral... I really can't care about that much right now.
What's more, Zhang Shuye knew that the second emperor had promised him the title of Xiao Tang. He made up his mind and had no choice but to bow down and salute respectfully to this mortal enemy that he had been trying so hard to eliminate in the past. He also said with a hint of words: "
Weak minister Zhang Shuye, see Xiao Shuai! It is true that as Xiao Shuai said, when the country is in internal and external troubles, our ministers should die on the battlefield to defend the country. Now that the golden thieves and foreign invaders have invaded our country in the Song Dynasty, we have vowed to sacrifice our lives and forget about our lives.
, in the name of Quan Zhongyi!”

The major matters of negotiation with the imperial court had come to an end for the time being. On the eve of departure, Yan Qing took advantage of her brother's free time to finally attract four girls, Zhao Fujin, Zhao Huanhuan, Liu Yingyan, and Hua Xiangrong, to come to meet Xiao Tang.
Among them, Xiao Tang and Liu Yingyan are old friends. Previously, it was because of Xiao Tang that the oiran of this famous mansion was not only famous in the capital, but also voluntarily introduced by Xiao Tang to the favor of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and climbed to the top.
In order to achieve his wish, Liu Yingyan gained a reputation as one of the most beautiful women in the brothel. But now, after falling into the hands of the golden man and experiencing several life-and-death hardships, Liu Yingyan took everything lightly and immediately expressed his willingness to donate all his money.
The family used their money to help the rebels fight against the Jin Dynasty, and they just wanted to find a place where they would not be disturbed by the war and live in seclusion for the rest of their lives.
And when Xiao Tang looked at Hua Xiangrong, who was willing to assassinate the general of the Jin Army when Jingkang was in trouble, even though she was a daughter, her strong and unyielding character and her pride of surrendering to foreigners was better than that of many men.
Her face is smooth and her skin is like gelatin. Her black hair is uniquely elegant. Although her face is like a hibiscus and her eyebrows are like willows, her bright eyes are as clear as autumn water. Her gestures and gestures also reveal the strong self-confidence of a daughter.
They are not those promiscuous women who follow the crowd in the brothel, entertain people with sex, only look at the eyes of the powerful and compromise.
However, when Xiao Tang met the two imperial concubines Zhao Fujin and Zhao Huanhuan, their identities were no longer what they used to be. Xiao Tang knew that their father and brother were fools, but these poor people
The women of the clan were undoubtedly the victims of the catastrophe of the Jingkang Disgrace in the official history. Fortunately, the Jin Kingdom’s East Road Army, which was plundering and enslaving the Song monarchs, ministers and people heading north, was led by Wanyan Orulu, who was the relative leader of the Jin Kingdom.
The other commanders, who had some limitations in how to deal with enslaved prisoners, and the timely arrival of the rebel armies led by him, at least reduced the tragic misfortune that those poor women would face on the way...
However, Xiao Tang knew that he would undoubtedly need to think carefully about how he would face these two empresses now.
