For a long time, starting from the time Zhao Laojiu ascended the throne, the core issue while traveling here has been whether to go to Nanyang or Yangzhou.
To be fair, Nanyang or Yangzhou seem to be similar. They are both completely hopeless about the situation in Hebei and have no choice but to give up on most of the Central Plains, and then place their hopes on the path of recovery from the rear.
Moreover, from a rational point of view, Yangzhou seems to be more suitable than Nanyang, because Yangzhou is the starting point of the Grand Canal, which can naturally gather the wealth of Jiangnan, and there is the Huaihe River in front to block it; relatively speaking, the Nanyang Basin
Although there are mountains in the surrounding area, there is still a flat plain to the northeast. Apart from Zong Liu, who can easily command an army of one million, there is not much to rely on.
However, everyone also understands that there is a deeper difference between Yangzhou and Nanyang, which is the fallback option once these two places cannot support:
Among them, when you go to Yangzhou, if you can't hold it anymore, you have no choice but to cross the river. Once you cross the river, anyone with some historical knowledge will understand its political implications. There is nothing to cover up. This is also a lot of experience.
The true thoughts of people who understood the Jingkang Incident are: The Jin people are really powerful, so what if they hide?
Therefore, Yangzhou, which seems reasonable and most suitable, is the unanimous opinion of the advocates and factions.
What about going to Nanyang?
If you go to Nanyang, you can enter Guanzhong, and if you retreat, you can enter Xiangyang. Not to mention the main battle meaning of entering Guanzhong, even if you retreat to Xiangyang, there is no doubt that there is a stronger political signal of revival than in Jiangnan.
Long Zhongce of Wuhou made it very clear that this place was the starting point for reviving the Central Plains!
Therefore, after weighing the balance between survival and revival, the main war faction generally believed that Nanyang should be the temporary capital.
As for Zongze's return to the old capital, Yue Fei's crossing the river and heading north, including Han Shizhong's vague strategy of directly penetrating through the defense area of Wanyan Lou, the God of War of the Jin Dynasty, to Chang'an at first, they were basically regarded as nonsense by mainstream opinion.
Come and hear... Zongze even invited Zhazi back to Bianliang intermittently. In a sense, I am afraid it was because he recognized the nature of certain people as early as in Hebei, and used this to play a double act with Li Gang.
They are forcibly holding back Zhao Guan's family!
Because under the circumstances at that time, the only thing that could hold back the official Zhao family was similar moral kidnapping methods... If you don’t see it, even a group of peace advocates would only dare to say that they would go to Yangzhou to fight against the Jin, and leave Guojiang Pianan to this place.
The reason for hiding such words is not because they themselves also know that in the "Two Saints Northern Hunting" and the people of Hebei in the Central Plains are still in disarray, if they say such words, they will be grabbed by the braid and scolded by the main war faction, and then
Beaten to death by the masses again?
Correspondingly, even the main war faction would never dare to talk about war easily, because it is a crazy and irrational way of thinking to kill the two saints, and it is not what a son or minister should think... In fact, even Li Gang
, it can only be said that if we strengthen ourselves, the Two Saints will return.
However, isn’t there something wrong with this clear and clear logic of confrontation?
Because a little-known but clear fact is that since a certain incident of falling into a well, the Zhao Guan family, or our time traveler Mr. Zhao Jiu, who is at the intersection of all confrontations and alliances, contradictions and pulls, has been in his mind.
It’s basically another logical line:
First of all, Zhao Jiu has never worried about the Second Saint, nor will he be kidnapped by the morality of the Second Saint, because in his eyes, they are two useless burdens who die early and are reborn. Early death is good for everyone, and he doesn't even know it.
What does the Second Saint look like?
Therefore, when he considered the problem, he never thought about those people, nor was he interfered by the existence of those people.
Secondly, Zhao Jiu's determination to resist the Jin Dynasty was unquestionable and unshakable.
This is not a matter of nationalistic sentiments, but from the beginning, the time traveler Zhao Guanjia has determined from multiple perspectives and from the perspective of future generations that his absolute interests lie in resisting the Jin Dynasty!
Of course, there must be a little bit of nationalistic sentiment.
Moreover, when Li Gang came back and Xing Zai began to move, and Zhao Jiu gradually came into contact with the customs of this era, it was obvious that he had a certain unrealistic sense of responsibility because of the basic moral concepts of modern people... He was in Jie Gou
Witnessing many living people with his own eyes, and being squeezed by the living environment in Shuizibu Town, somewhat dispelled his numbness towards this era.
However, it only dissipated a lot, and it seems that there is still a little short of completely tearing away the thin film between individuals and times.
So, at this moment, our official Zhao, not to mention others, may not even be able to figure it out himself... But the more this happens, the more he wants to tear off this film as quickly as possible without any scruples!
"What is Deyuan (Zhang Jun) thinking?"
In late November, on the bank of the frozen Yingshui River, a huge and bloated team was going down the Yuanhe River. However, even if it was frozen, as the mother river of Shunchang Prefecture, formerly known as Yingzhou, the Yingshui River remained the same.
The characteristics of water brought great convenience to this migration team.
Therefore, during the relatively safe itinerary, the two leaders of a certain team still had time to think and talk on the horse.
"Brother Yuan Zhen," Zhang Jun came back from his thoughts and did not try to hide it from Zhao Ding. "I was wondering what the officials were thinking..."
"I know what Deyuan means." Zhao Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head, bringing out a white air in the cold winter. "You and I both know that the officials are unwilling to give in, but how can we be willing to do so? But now we have to pass.
The Huaihe River goes to Yangzhou, so what if the officials have other ideas? Shunchang Prefecture is still a node. There are still two options to go from Nanyang to Yangzhou. Once you reach Shouzhou and cross the Huaihe River, you will see the Dabie Mountains due south and west.
...What is the Dabie Mountain? The north and south are separated by the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, and the east and west are separated by Jingyang. There is only one road to the southeast!"
Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly: "This is where I hesitate. You must know that once you cross the Huai River, you can only go all the way south, and the people of the world will vent their anger along the way. And the officials were so decisive that day,
Where does it look like a discouraged gesture?"
"Forget it!" Zhao Ding was also helpless, but he pointed at the relocation team of soldiers and civilians beside him and sighed. "Not to mention the affairs in the southeast, whatever Deyuan thinks, but the current situation... you said,
Originally, the first release was for women, children, the elderly and the weak, and the original intention was to move lightly. How did it end up in this situation? Isn't this really Han Zhaolie leading the people across the river?"
"This is also a helpless matter." Zhang Jun finally got serious and spoke to console him. "During the Jingkang period, the Jin people looted Tokyo without restraint, causing it to turn into a white land. At that time, countless Tokyo residents fled here...Don't you?
I forgot how the ginger came from... Now the Jin people have invaded Jingdong East Road again, and they are still looting without restraint. Refugees from Jingdong Road and Jingdong Road are coming again. The officials have to leave again, and they have to recruit young people. The treasury, the soldiers and the people are in panic.
They are following one after another, so what can we say? Just try to maintain it as much as possible. When these people arrive in Huainan, the climate is warmer, or they may simply disperse into the southeast, where there are many towns and very wealthy people, and there will always be food to eat..."
Zhao Ding also looked solemn, but lowered his voice: "Why don't I know this truth? Besides, a few of us have come all the way from Tokyo and have seen worse and more chaotic situations than this time. What I am worried about is the movement here. It's too big. Once the Jin people know that it's only five or six hundred miles away... Just like the official analogy before, it's obvious that the beast eats people and bleeds, but they have to turn their backs to the beast. Wouldn't it be tempting the beast to attack? "
"The Jin will definitely attack!" Zhang Jun responded immediately. "The official analogy is very appropriate, and from the overall situation, starting from Nanjing (Shangqiu), the Jin will definitely attract the pursuit of the Jin..."
"I'm talking about the small situation right now."
"There is no conflict between big and small. Since the Jin people are bound to come, why not take the people of Shunchang Prefecture with them?" Zhang Jun became more serious. "Besides, if the Jin people want to come, they must first pass Liu Guangshi. Liu Guangshi already has ten thousand people. With many people, this time they have obtained the right to defend several military states south of Mount Tai. I am afraid that there will be no less than 30,000 to 50,000 people. Even if the Jin people really come, they will not ask him to fight, as long as he can rely on the city to defend, and keep fighting. Even if you retreat, you can always survive until spring!"
Zhao Ding shook his head repeatedly, as if he was dissatisfied, but did not argue anymore.
Moreover, although the two are life-and-death friends and die-hard political allies, it is obvious that the young Zhang Jun was the first to gain power, and at this time, his mind was full of how to welcome the officials to stabilize his position; At the same time, Zhao Ding was older and had always been cautious. Otherwise, he would not have been the first to stand up and persuade Zhao Jiu as a close confidant of the officials in Shunchang City that day... and the older man was actually a young man. As a direct subordinate, there is a certain awkwardness between the two parties regarding their right to speak.
Just like at this time, Zhang Jun was obviously responsible for the order of the migration of scholars and people, but he kept thinking wildly. On the contrary, Zhao Ding, who was worried about the trouble caused by these scholars and people, had been working conscientiously and personally maintained the order of the migration.
However, since the two of them were silent, before Zhao Ding could turn around and continue to inspect the team, suddenly several more riders were riding carefully along the river embankment. The two of them could see clearly that one of them was the middle-aged man who should be following the official at this time. The man from Shushe, his brother Hu Yin, spoke to each other almost at the same time.
When Hu Yin heard the cry, he did not stop for a moment, but bluntly told him: "The primary school of Huyan Tongbu and a general judge who had just escaped from the north occupied the ranks of soldiers and civilians led by Xu Dacan, fighting for the people's property, and fighting for the people's property. The officials were furious that Commander Hu Yan was in charge. They held me holding the gold medal to see Hu Yan Tong, intending to kill them all!"
At the end of the sentence, Hu Yin did not stop at all and disappeared directly on the embankment... and Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding were both shocked!
Let’s not mention that the Huyantong Division was a reliable force of a thousand men left by Han Shizhong to Zhao Jiu before he left Huaidong. The so-called Xu Da Shen refers to Xu Jingheng, who happened to be Zhang Jun’s former censor Zhongcheng. At that time, Zhao Jiu didn't know his position. He only saw him defending Zongze many times, so he didn't regard him as Huang Qianshan's comrade. Instead, he regarded him as a tool and threw him into the six departments.
But later, when Li Gang came back, he knew the basics and took him as his arm. Only then did the Zhao Guan family realize that this was a core figure of the main war faction who kept silent.
Therefore, this time Li Gang went first and left the line. In order to reassure people, Zhao Jiu specially changed Lu Haowen to Shangshu Zuocheng, promoted this person to Shangshu Youcheng, and participated in political affairs together, which means he officially entered the Dongfu. He became the deputy prime minister to express his unchanging loyalty to Li Gang.
There are many similar disposals, such as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Finance and the imperial camp, and Zhang Cui, who also knew the Privy Council. This person was originally thrown out by Zhao Jiu as a tool to scrape Buddha statues. It is said that he also
After expressing resentment, he has now returned to the core power structure... And these old ministers who need to return due to the situation are the reason why Zhang Jun is so worried and always thinking about the officials.
But no matter what, the problem now is not these messy personnel changes caused by the relocation, but another piece of information just revealed in Hu Yinhua - the official family actually took the initiative to kill people! And they killed them regardless of martial arts!
What does this mean?
What are the officials thinking at this time?
"You're not thinking about Chibi, are you?" After a long pause, Zhao Ding came back to his senses and then spoke, but he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Zhang Jun remained silent.
In this way, the two men continued to urge the team forward. Two more days and nights passed, and bad news continued. But this morning, suddenly, there was another commotion in front of the team. If you listen carefully, it turned out to be cheers. Another inquiry
, it turns out that the team in front suddenly found that the ice in front was gradually disappearing, and then they realized that Huaikou was not far away. In other words, the border between Shunchang Prefecture and Shouzhou was already approaching...
After hearing this news, Zhao Ding, who had worked hard all the way, was naturally relieved instantly, and all the previous worries disappeared.
After all, according to the plan, there had to be some separation here, but most of the civil servants took the people across the Huaihe River here, successfully escorting the Shunchang Mansion's accompanying soldiers and people to the land of Huainan; at the same time,
The official generals and a small number of core personnel from the branch continued eastward along the Huaihe River with thousands of Shunchang Minzhuang and Shunchang treasury money, grain, cloth, silk and ordnance, and went to Shouzhou to meet Xuzhou observer envoy and one of the imperial camp commanders.
The general is Zhang Jun's favorite, Zhang Jun and Zhang Boying.
In other words, after a lot of fright and confusion, the destination is finally arriving, but the golden man has not yet come after him. Is there a better situation than this?
"Brother Yuan Zhen..."
On the cold north bank of the Huaihe River, on the side of the unfrozen river crossing, before leaving, Zhang Jun, with dark circles under his eyes, suddenly said: "After crossing the river, quickly settle in properly. Don't covet the prosperity and stability of Huainan, and don't accept the appointment of Huainan."
, come and see each other immediately... I would say, after half a year of wandering, the world's affairs will not be settled until Huaishang."
Zhao Ding was half convinced, but in the end he nodded heavily.
ps: The status is very bad, so I will make a hasty update today to let me save up a wave of energy storage.
