The sudden appearance of a man like Du Chong who came from heaven gave Zhao Guan's family some comfort. In fact, it was snowing that night. Zhao Jiu returned to the palace and summoned Du Chong's second son Du Yan to issue an edict.
However, he allowed Du Chong's son-in-law Han Ru to enter the palace, and then added Bachelor Xiao Lin and Yang Yizhong beside him. He asked Du Chong's resume and details in detail... Obviously he was still a little worried.
But after listening to it for a while, I could only nod my head repeatedly and feel speechless.
In other words, it is ridiculous for anyone to point at Du Chong and say that he has a problem at this time. At this time, Du Chong's only problems lie in two places. One is that he was too "violent" in his early fight against Jin.
When he was guarding Cangzhou in the border area, he killed the people who fled into the city from the north and south as Jin Army spies; the other one was that when he was in Daming Mansion, he abandoned the city and ran away.
However, these two things are really nothing these days.
There are many generals in the Song Army who are easy to kill. Even Du Chong has attracted criticism only because he is a civil servant. The word "killing indiscriminately" is a bit demeaning. And Zhao Jiu may be the only one in the court who is sensitive to this kind of thing.
And I don’t know much about what happened in the early years of Jingkang. It’s impossible to really know what happened at that time when I heard vague words three years later.
As for escaping from Hebei... To put it bluntly, who has not escaped from Hebei?
In fact, after he escaped from Daming Prefecture to Tokyo, he still maintained his treatment and became the governor of the old capital. In fact, he became a senior official of the Department of Remaining in Tokyo, which can be seen from the attitude of the superiors and subordinates towards this man.
At that time, Zhao Jiu had not yet gained power, and many things were entrusted to the four husbands. But when he looked back and thought about it, he simply suspected that Du Chong was just like the Zhang Suo he appointed.
He is the back-up man designated by the metropolitan province as the Tokyo Left-Behind Department.
Because it’s so suitable!
That's right, compared to those two black spots, there are too many places where Du Chong and the Tokyo Remaining Division co-produced.
In terms of qualifications, this person was a Jinshi during the Zhezong period, and he also served as a stay-at-home officer in the Daming Prefecture. His age and resume are too stable; in terms of his place of origin, his place of origin in Xiangzhou is particularly eye-catching...
It must be emphasized here that the reason why this place of origin is eye-catching has nothing to do with him being a fellow countryman of Yue Fei... Zhao Jiu will pay attention to this, but Lu Hao asked those people if they would not care about this... The main reason is that the place of origin of Xiangzhou, Hebei is of great significance to the Tokyo Remaining Department.
You must know that the army is divided into factions, and for the previous Song Dynasty, it was always divided into three areas according to region: the Western Army, the Hebei Forbidden Army, and the Tokyo Directly Under the Forbidden Army.
Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Daxin, Xiaoxintang and Dixin were all members of the Western Army.
The soldiers and horses in the Tokyo Remaining Division have mixed origins, all relying on Zongze's personal charm and personal ability to combine them. Among them are a very small part of the Western Army, such as the commander Sang Zhong, who is the junior high school of the Central Division; there are also many local forbidden troops.
; But most of those who dare to fight and can fight are mainly army thieves, refugees and rebels who have broken down in Hebei and Hedong. These people naturally have the local color of Hebei, or in other words, they are able to fight because they are from Hebei.
Dare to fight and can fight, because they have a personal enmity with the Jin people.
Yue Fei is the true backbone of this faction, and Yue Fei has a fellow countryman named Zhang Yong, who is also the commander of the left-behind division in Tokyo. If you include Kong Yanzhou before him, when the front line was the most numerous at that time, there were a total of four Xiangzhou Tangyin
An official born at or above the supervisory level.
This shows the importance of the issue of place of origin here.
So in other words, once Zongze, the de facto founder of the Tokyo Remaining Division, dies, only senior officials from Hebei can stabilize this huge refugee military group!
Zhao Jiu even suspected that if Zhang Suo had not died but Zongze had died, then Zhang Suo, who was born in Jingdong, might not be able to suppress the group of troops from the Tokyo Remaining Department, and Du Chong would have to step in when the time comes... Don't you see,
At this time, Zong Ze's health was probably just in some condition and he was not dead yet. The group of people rushed to the southern area of Tokyo to watch.
The natural instability of the refugee group lies there. When people are forced to leave their hometown, the sense of security that comes from being a fellow countryman is so important.
As for the appeal of Zhao Guanjia himself?
Well, unless he personally sacrifices the emperor's face, it seems a bit uncertain, because the Tokyo Remaining Department does not pay military pay!
That's right, Zhao Jiu can only try his best to support the left-behind departments in Tokyo with food and money, but he really can't pay them full salaries... As far as half of the country is concerned, before seeing the results of fiscal reform, it can support more than a dozen people through the central finance.
Wan Yuying's left, right and rear troops are already very impressive.
That's it, the right army of the imperial camp and the rear army were sent directly from the southeast, and they were just transferred to Nanyang to settle accounts.
Back in front of us, for some reason, Zhao Guan's family thought about it and determined that Du Chong was indeed suitable and almost the only candidate. After returning to the harem residence, they all went to bed, but they still had trouble falling asleep and were still worried about the current situation.
Even vaguely, there is some kind of strange emotion that is unclear but familiar.
Let's say that when I came to Nanyang in the first place, I naturally wanted to take care of Guanzhong... Although I had anticipated this invasion early on and did not expect to sort out Guanzhong this year, but with Qu Duan, Wang Xie and Wang Shu, these four
Judging from the mess that the actual leaders of Kansai have made in the past six months, the Zhao Guan family is really shameless in saying that they have control of Guanzhong.
Qu Duan is Chengdu who is domineering and arrogant to the point of nausea; Wang Xie is obviously incompetent; Wang Shu is a civil servant who seems to be very useful, and was also the nominally highest political figure in Guanzhong before Yu Wenxuzhong entered Guanzhong, and he was not afraid of war.
Meaning, but judging from his previous defeats and inability to control Qu Duan and manage Wang Xie, it is obvious that this is a figure whose military level is approximately equal to that of Li Gang and whose political level is approximately that of Lu Haowen. The only redeeming feature is his main battle stance.
As for asking for it at a discount, it’s okay if you don’t want this person!
In addition, looking back at the entire battle, Zhang Suo was killed and Han Shizhong was surrounded. Although there were reasons... For example, Zhang Suo was attacked by the Jin army, and there was also the reason for Kong Yanzhou's sudden rebellion, and even Jingdong's original
The underlying reason for being raided by the Jin Army last year; and for example, when Han Shizhong went to rescue Zongze, Zongze's situation seemed more dangerous at that time, and no one was speechless during that rescue, just as most people at this time agreed to rescue Zongze.
Han Shizhong is average.
However, in terms of results, they were two huge defeats and tragedies.
Zhao Jiu sometimes couldn't help but wonder, if he had been a little tighter and more careful during the period when the Jin Army was delayed by the Hebei Rebel Army, and asked Zhang Suo to be more careful, would he have been able to avoid the collapse of the Jingdong and East Roads?
Wouldn't it allow Zhang Suo to survive?
If he had noticed something strange about Zongze earlier, or simply established a more frank relationship with Zongze before this war, instead of treating the other party as a simple 'backer', then Tokyo would have stayed behind this time
The company's crisis, including the previous incident of Han Shizhong's ambush, might have been avoided.
To be fair, for Zhao Jiu, the progress of the war to this point is actually much better than the worst-case scenario expected. Science and technology have not deceived him. In other words, even with the old man Daozu watching from the sky, he still pays attention to a basic law. .
Therefore, the new gun carriage based on the lever principle has made great achievements.
However, the current situation is much worse than the best-case scenario expected... Zongze's poor health actually has little to do with him, but Zhang Suo's death makes it hard for him to let go; Han Shizhong's siege makes him even more worried He felt a strong sense of contrast and astonishment, and he was determined not to accept that his "scientific" efforts had instead caused such unexpected losses.
What's more, Han Shizhong himself has been his biggest support since he came to this world. Although the two of them can't be called friends, they are already rare acquaintances.
However, these are just reflections, which are common emotions and cannot be called 'weird'. In fact, at this moment, looking at the falling shadow of snowflakes outside the door, Zhao Jiu still has two final emotions in his heart: It was these two emotions that made him become 'weird'.
One of them is a cliché but lingering thing... Zhao Jiu is still jealous of Yue Fei.
Even though he has provided maximum support in action, this time traveler is still jealous of the son of the era whom he has never met.
Well, Zhao Jiu has been thinking about it for so long, and he can probably tell one, two, three, four.
But overall, it is nothing more than the combination of the identity of a time traveler and the emperor, which gave this young man a strong desire... He wanted to replace Yue Fei and become the person who saved the world!
This kind of desire would not exist in a normal Zhao Guan family, nor should a time traveler have it, but when combined together, it seems so natural.
It is also difficult to characterize this desire. To put it crudely, it would be called ignorance, and even a bit politically incorrect. But if you have to elevate it, it can be called a sense of mission.
If you don't want to do something for this country and nation, how could you have this desire?
It would be so easy to lie down in Hangzhou. At most, there would be one more adventure at sea. Then wait for more than ten years. When Yue Fei enters the golden age, his Yue family army will also reach 100,000 people, with 70,000 to 80,000 armored men. When the time comes, How simple is it to go to the front line to urge the army to join in the fun with twelve gold medals?
But if you can take the initiative to do something, why do you have to lie down?
If the war had ended a year earlier, how many people like Zhang Yongzhen would not have to die, and how many Zhang Yongzhen would have successfully returned home? Didn't Yue Fei have simple patriotism formed by his attachment to his hometown? Yue Fei could not become a hero, Wouldn't it be better if he retired and returned to his hometown as an envoy at the age of thirty?
If you can enjoy peace and be a peaceful and wealthy person, why should you leave your hometown and live towards death?
In fact, the reason why this kind of jealousy lingers is that Zhao Jiu found this fallacy for himself. According to this idea, the more he reflects on it, the more proud Zhao Jiu becomes... It seems that this is something to be proud of. The mood is average.
However, this kind of pride and the huge pressure brought by the massive invasion of the Jin Army brought Zhao Jiu another, and last, weird emotion when he reflected too much, plus the jealousy in his heart when he explained himself. The gap between his ideals made him doubt his own efforts again.
These days, Zhao Jiu sometimes thinks that compared to the person who gave him this body, he has done so many things and that person would only run away, all the way to Yangzhou, then Southeast, and then
On the sea, Zhao Jiu guarded the Huaihe River, so that the southeast and the two Huaihe Rivers were at least not corrupted; obviously that person abandoned the Central Plains and only knew how to enjoy himself in Yangzhou, but he, Zhao Jiu, chose Nanyang, personally defended the city and presided over the Central Plains
The War of Resistance; Obviously that person only knows how to hold back the front line, but he, Zhao Jiu, has given so much support to Li Gang, Zong Ze, Li Yanxian, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other anti-golden heroes who were originally suppressed and abandoned in another time and space...
But why is the situation still so difficult? And something unexpected like Han Shizhong happened?
Where did the mistake go?
Is it more reasonable to escape than to fight?
"Tell me, what would have happened if I had gone to Yangzhou in the first place?" Zhao Jiu suddenly turned around and asked the person beside him.
No one answered.
Perhaps because he was too tired from cooking during the day, Wu Yu had already fallen asleep, and Zhao Jiu was not surprised. In fact, if they had not known that the other party had fallen asleep, the Zhao family would not have asked this question.
And this is the most distressing part of Zhao Guan's family. He has a lot of things to say and a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he can't tell others, so these emotions will accumulate in his heart, day after day, as the situation becomes difficult.
It has become complicated and obscure, so much so that I will often think about it for half the night.
However, after asking, Zhao Guanjia finally gave up on tonight's random thoughts, blew out the candles, turned around and hugged Wu Yu, who was already asleep, and prepared to rest.
However, not long after the candles were extinguished, there was a rapid and somewhat restrained knock on the door.
"Everyone! Is everyone asleep?"
"Guan Jia! Guan Jia, please get up."
The former is Feng Yi, who is in charge of the harem, and the latter is Yang Yizhong. If they both came to call the door together, there must be something going on.
"What's going on?" Zhao Jiu couldn't sleep, not to mention hearing the voices of these two people, he quickly got up and dressed in the dark. "Did Du Yan get captured when he went out?"
"No...it's Mr. Lu who suddenly came and said that he wanted to be consecrated in private." Another voice sounded, and it turned out to be Lan Gui, the chief security officer in charge of the confidential documents in the front hall.
As Lan Gui made a sound, the door was carefully opened and then closed. It was Lan Gui and Feng Yi who came in together and personally lit the lamp and served the officials to dress.
However, when Zhao Jiu heard this, he felt a rush of confusion in his head. Instead, he was puzzled, so he covered the light that had just been lit and frowned: "Which Mr. Lu?"
"Of course it's Privy Councilor Lu Yihao, Prime Minister Lu." Lan Gui answered carefully. "Tonight, Prime Minister Lu is on duty in the main hall."
"Yes." Zhao Jiu suddenly shook his head, then looked back at Wu Yu, who was sleeping soundly, then put on his shoes and stood up. "Mr. Lu from the provincial capital can't do such a thing..."
Lan Gui immediately bowed his head and said nothing.
Just like that, Zhao Jiu put on her clothes and hurried out. She led Yang Yizhong and others through the forest clearing in the harem that had already been cleared in the snow, and was about to turn into the front hall. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to the corner, he saw
We arrived at Lu Yihao, who was standing there alone and proudly with his hands tied.
Zhao Jiu was helpless, but even Yang Yizhong retreated and stepped forward alone.
"Guan!" Lu Yihao leaned forward slightly. "The good instructor knows that I just thought of a way that affects the overall situation. Although I only thought about it roughly, it may be feasible, so I hurriedly called the official to get up and wanted him to think about it...
…”
"Ms. Lu, please speak." Of course Zhao Jiu understood what the other party meant, so he suppressed his sleepiness and said, "If the matter cannot be accomplished, I will never tell anyone."
Lu Yihao bowed slightly, but only said one sentence and said no more.
Zhao Jiu was startled for a moment, then woke up, but did not answer. The two just nodded slightly, and after confirming that the information was exchanged correctly, they left at the junction of the front hall and the harem, and then turned around to rest... Prime Minister Lu Shu was in front.
The side room of the palace also has its own room.
Not to mention whether Prime Minister Lu, who was nearly sixty years old, could have a good night's sleep after returning home, but when young Zhao Guan's family returned home, he was once again thinking wildly, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Obviously, Lu Yihao's suggestion just made him a little moved...but there is no reason to do it at the moment.
ps: Thanks to the 57th Menglin!
Is this a Bachelor Kobayashi fan?
By the way, when I was doing laundry today, I don’t know how Xiaojiu got in... I heard a meow when I put the water in... It scared me to death, and after he took it out, he made a slit in my chest through the clothes.
