Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 425 Going to Datong

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, in Juyongguan, there is a desolation here.

Here has also become a piece of white, the real "northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow".

When the sky just dawned in the morning, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out of Juyongguan and headed south.

"Brother Yue, we can finally leave Juyongguan and go to Datong!" Among the two leading generals, one of them looks ordinary, so who is it if it is not Yue Fei? Beside Yue Fei is Dong Xian, at this moment Dong Xian said with a smile.

"Your Majesty has just arrived in the Sixteen States of Yanyun, and the Khitans did not obey the rule of the imperial court. Your Majesty wants to take iron and blood measures to clean up the Khitans, so we stayed in Juyongguan for a while! When we arrive in Datong, we can show our strength! I guess So, in the next year, the Jurchens will attack Datong!" Yue Fei said.

"It's natural. Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan are dangerous places. The Jurchens can't get through at all! They can only attack Datong or Yinzhou, Xiazhou and other places, trying to enter the Central Plains or Guanshan from there." Dong Xian said.

"Let's go see His Majesty first," Yue Fei said.

"Ah!" A surprised smile appeared on Mr. Dong's face, and he said, "Shall we go to see His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty wants to inquire about the military situation, and we are going to report it," Yue Fei said.

Only then did Dong Xian understand what was going on, and nodded immediately.

The army first went south, walked out of the mountains and headed west, while Yue Fei and Dong Xian headed for Yanjing City with hundreds of soldiers.

They walked all the way, and saw that in the villages and towns on the road, the people were orderly, and the people were not afraid when they saw the soldiers! As for the Khitan people, there was no longer that arrogant and domineering expression on their faces! In the field, although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, there are still many people there! The land has just been distributed to the people, and many people are so happy that they are waiting for the land in such weather.

"I still remember when Yanyun was taken down just now, Yanyun was not like this at all, the place was extremely chaotic! It's because His Majesty's methods are clever, just came to Yanyun for two months, the order of Yanyun is much better than before!" Dong Xian said.

"Your Majesty is an eternal sage, and the means of governing the country are naturally very important! Your Majesty wants to appease Yan Yun, this is just the beginning! Your Majesty wrote to me a few days ago, telling me the latest decision. In the future, the Propaganda Department will Entering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in an all-round way, Wang Shu will mobilize young people here, whether they are Han Chinese or Khitan youths, they will be mobilized to criticize the former Khitan emperor and let these young people support His Majesty! Of course, mobilizing youth is not to delay the farming season! When Yanyun regains its prosperity, those young people may also join the army! In addition, in the future, other policies will be implemented against the Khitan people, such as guiding the Khitan people to change their Han surnames as much as possible, and letting the Khitan people wear our Han clothes as much as possible. The school will only teach the knowledge of us Han people! In short, it is to make the Khitan people completely become Han people! In addition, we need to immigrate to the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, so that this place can be completely stabilized." Yue Fei said.

"Turn Khitan people into Han people?" Dong Xian was a little dazed.

"Your Majesty said so, let them be completely integrated into our Han people, and no longer be separated from each other, so that they will never rebel! In the future, we will conquer a lot of territory, and it is impossible to kill all the aliens. It can only be to kill those who disobey our rule, and the rest is to let them integrate into our Han people." Yue Fei said.

Dong Xian seemed to understand, and nodded.

Juyongguan is not very far from Yanyun. They set off in the morning and arrived at Yanjing City in the afternoon.

Yanjing City has now restored order, and patrolling soldiers can be seen constantly on the road, but the people are not afraid, and many shops have opened their doors! This place was originally the most prosperous place in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and now there are people coming and going. Although it is not as good as before, it is much better than under the Jurchen rule!

The two of them walked through the outer city and the inner city all the way, and finally came to the palace.

Here, the two of them dismounted, and all the soldiers were waiting outside, and the two of them entered the palace.

There is a deserted feeling in the palace, only occasionally you see some soldiers, and occasionally you see some officials enter. Besides, there are no maids here, and there is no sound of drums and music. This is a pure business. mechanism.

Dong Xian was shocked by the grand scale of Yanjing Palace, while Yue Fei frowned.

"Brother Yue, is there something wrong?" Dong Xian asked strangely.

"There are some things that I want to report to His Majesty!" Yue Fei said.

"What's the matter?" Dong Xian said.

"It is inconvenient to discuss with you." Yue Fei said.

Dong Xian was taken aback for a moment, and didn't say any more at the moment.

They walked for a while, and finally came to the imperial study where Zhao Chen was.

After arriving here, Zhao Chen was discussing matters with Yu Yunwen, Hu Quan and others. Zhao Chen stopped quickly and waved to Yue Fei and Dong Xian.

"Your Majesty!" Yue Fei was about to kneel down when Zhao Chen came up to him and supported him. Dong Xian kowtowed there before standing up.

"Brother Yue, you have stayed in Juyongguan for so long, it is bitterly cold there, and you have suffered too!" Zhao Chen said.

"The last general should naturally guard the frontier, how can he say he suffered?" Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said, "How is the situation of the Northern Jurchens now?"

He had already returned to his seat and sat down. Yue Fei and Dong Xian were still standing there. Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, the Jurchens in Zhongjing are ready to move. We have a small work in Zhongjing. It seems that Wushu, the fourth prince of Jurchen, is going to go south again!"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "How many troops will they mobilize?"

Yue Fei said: "It should be around 100,000 people! Your Majesty, the last general also discovered that Yelu Yilie was in contact with the Jurchens!"

Zhao Chen was taken aback, and said, "Did Yelu Yilie contact the Jurchen?"

Yue Fei said: "That's right! Originally the Jurchens destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and Yelu Dashi sent Yelu Yilie to cooperate with us to destroy the gold together! But after we conquered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, they actually contacted the Jurchens. Khitan people!"

Zhao Chen said: "They are not fools on the fence, they changed their minds because they saw our strength!"

Yue Fei nodded and said, "That's the truth."

Zhao Chen thought for a while, and said: "This time you go to Datong, first to train the army! There used to be a hundred thousand Huanqing Army in Datong and Yanmen, but now they are all under your command! In addition to the 100,000 Huanqing Army, Han Shizhong, The troops of Zhang Jun, Wang Yan and others have gone to Yinzhou and Xiazhou, and those troops are also under your jurisdiction, but those troops are not strong enough, so you need to train them! At that time, try not to conflict with Han Shizhong and others !"

Yue Fei nodded in agreement.

Zhao Chen said again: "This year when the Central Plains and Yanyun were conquered, the people suffered. In order to relieve the disaster, money and food were consumed a lot. For this reason, I even cut down part of the military rations. When we arrive in Datong, the soldiers may have to suffer. Let the soldiers Let's be patient."

Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the soldiers are fighting to recover the Central Plains, the Great Song Dynasty, and to protect the people! If the people are in trouble, we should give up the rations!"

Zhao Chen said: "If the situation in Yanyun and the Central Plains is completely stable, I will go to Datong in person, and we will send troops from Datong together to conquer the Jurchens!"

Yue Fei was overjoyed and said, "This is really great!"

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "You go to the General Staff Headquarters later, report the specific military situation, and then rest in Yanjing City for one night, and then leave Yanjing! I still have to discuss important matters with Yu Aiqing and Hu Aiqing."

Yue Fei nodded, and was about to leave immediately, but after a while, he suddenly thought of something, knelt down suddenly, and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Seeing his serious face, Zhao Chen said, "What is it?"

Yue Fei said: "The end general came to the Yanjing Imperial Palace, and when he looked up, there was not a single lady in the palace."

Zhao Chen said a little strangely: "Yes, there are indeed no maids here, what's the matter?"

Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty is not young, but he has no heirs. This matter is related to the foundation of the Song Dynasty, and it must not be underestimated! The general thought that His Majesty should accept the harem and strive for the birth of dragon sons as soon as possible! Your Majesty is not good at women. It’s a good thing, it’s just for the sake of the country, and there’s no one maid or concubine in the palace!”

Zhao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "I know about this matter, you should step down first! I will have dinner with you tonight after I discuss things with Yu Aiqing, Hu Aiqing and others!"

Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, remember this, don't dare to forget it!"

Zhao Chen nodded.

After Yue Fei and Dong Xian left, Zhao Chen said: "Let's continue discussing about Yanyun and the officials from all over the Central Plains! The imperial court cannot continue to be under military control, and there must be officials everywhere! Our number of officials is still too small now! In addition, Regarding the official system, I also have some ideas, and I want to discuss them with you!"
