Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

It was midnight, and everyone dispersed one after another, but the staff headquarters is still busy now!

The General Staff Headquarters also had to arrange specific logistics and transportation, and even coordinate the mobilization of troops from the south to defend the many checkpoints of the Great Wall! There are so many pre-war preparations that many people have no time to rest.

Zhao Chen left from the staff headquarters and hurried towards the north of the palace with a few guards.

The north of the palace is the area of ​​the harem, and it is relatively quiet here!

When passing by Taiji Palace, it was dark here, Zhao Chen didn't stop, and continued to move forward.

However, just after taking a step, a black figure appeared in front of him, and the guards rushed up immediately, and a voice came from the opposite side, "It's me!"

"Grandpa!" Zhao Chen was taken aback!

It turned out that the person who appeared in front turned out to be the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji!

"You are still discussing state affairs now? Grandpa can't sleep, you go in with me to talk." Zhao Ji said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded.

At the moment Zhao Chen and Zhao Ji entered the Taiji Palace, several maids brought refreshments over immediately.

"Grandpa, it's midnight, why haven't you fallen asleep?" Zhao Chen smiled.

"I heard that you are discussing the matter of attacking the north, is there such a thing?" Zhao Ji said.

"That's right, the imperial court has decided to launch a war to destroy gold! Tomorrow, I will sacrifice to heaven and swear to destroy gold, and then grandpa will go there too!" Zhao Chen said.

"You are so confused!" Zhao Ji said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was slightly taken aback.

"Now that we have Yanyun and the Central Plains, and have restored our former homeland, why do we still want to cut gold? It's fine if we win this battle, but if we fail, I'm afraid the Song Dynasty will be in danger again!" Zhao Ji said.

"This battle is impossible to fail! The army of the imperial court is a master of hundreds of battles, and the generals who lead the army, such as Yue Fei, Li Xianzhong, Wu Jie, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, etc., can be called a generation of famous generals! The strength of our army even exceeds How can we lose this battle if the Jurchen population is exceeded?" Zhao Chen said.

"Chen'er, what we need to do now is to negotiate peace with Jurchen! After we negotiate peace with Jurchen, it will be the same as when we negotiated peace with Liao Kingdom. Wouldn't it be good if there is no war between the two sides?" Zhao Ji said.

"We are negotiating peace with the Jurchen? Hmph! Jurchen is not as good as us now, so they should agree! But in the future, when the Jurchen becomes stronger, they will definitely go south again!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Chen'er, you have to understand that although a country is strong, it will perish if it is warlike!" Zhao Ji said.

"Will you perish if you are warlike? If it is militarism, it will consume the power of the people and the country, and it may indeed lead to the demise of the country. For example, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty recruited millions of people to build the Grand Canal, and then conquered Koryo several times. The people were in dire straits. Great, this has led to great chaos in the world, but the current situation is not militaristic! What's more, in addition to the fact that although the country is strong and warlike, it will perish, there is also the saying that the world is in danger if it forgets war! The Jurchens are eyeing me like a tiger. They are far inferior to us, but Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongbi and others still want to invade China! Now the morale of our army is at its peak. If we wait for ten or ten years, our army may not have the same morale as it is now! Now is the best time for extinction!" Zhao Chen said.

"God has the virtue of loving life. If you do this, how many people will die in the world?" Zhao Ji said.

"In the future, when the Jurchens are strong and continue to go south, we will die more people! Seven years ago, when the Jurchen went south, we had already lost nearly 20 million people. I can never see such things happening in the future! In my lifetime, I will definitely level up the surroundings, so that my Great Song Dynasty will have no more troubles!" Zhao Chen said.

"Chen'er, life is very good now, why are you not satisfied?" Zhao Ji frowned and said.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but that Song Dynasty is not satisfied! If any country is content with the status quo and does not think about making progress, it may be a sign of extinction!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

"What should you do if something happens to you?" Zhao Ji said.

"Although I am personally on the expedition, I will not personally participate in the battle! Millions of soldiers will risk their lives without fear. After the army, how can I have a heart of fear?" Zhao Chen said.

"Hey, why are you so stubborn and don't listen to me?" Zhao Ji said.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid you are not good at governing the country! If you were good at governing the country, the shame of Jingkang would not have happened back then!" Zhao Chen said with a cold snort.

"Uh..." Zhao Ji stayed there.

"Grandpa rests early, and will sacrifice to heaven tomorrow. If grandpa is willing to go, then go, if not, then stay in Tai Chi Palace!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

He stood up and headed outside!

The imperial court advocates a war against gold! The Kingdom of Jin invaded the Great Song Dynasty, which brought endless harm and shame to the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, not only the court, but the people all over the world hoped that the army would go north to destroy the Jin Dynasty, but Zhao Ji wanted peace with all his heart! For Zhao Ji, Zhao Chen is really helpless!

He shook his head and continued on his way.

Finally, back to my bedroom!

Song Qingyao and Zheyueru didn't fall asleep, they took off Zhao Chen's robe, and Zhao Chen sat down.

"Why don't you sleep?" Zhao Chen smiled.

"Husband, you are going north to fight, we are all worried." Song Qingyao said.

Zhao Chen held Song Qingyao's hand and said with a smile: "I am in the army, I will not be in any danger! What's more, I also practiced martial arts since childhood, and my martial arts can be called high-strength. Who can hurt me? ?”

"I wonder when you will come back?" Song Qingyao said.

"At most next spring, this battle will end, and then we can return to Yanjing," Zhao Chen said.

Zhe Yueru was already crying softly beside her.

"I promise you, I will take care of myself! You should pay more attention in Yanjing City! Especially Yueru, you are pregnant, don't worry, don't worry! The war news in the north will reach you!" Zhao Chen said.

Song Qingyao and Zhe Yueru nodded slightly.

Zhao Chen stayed with the two daughters that night, and he felt a little sad in his heart. It was like this every time we parted...

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was getting dark, all the civil and military ministers of the imperial court came to the palace, and countless subordinates and officers from the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Headquarters had also gathered.

When the sun just rose and the red light shone on the earth, Zhao Chen and the others rode on the horses and headed outside!

The gate of the palace opened wide, and thousands of people rushed out from inside!

Outside, thousands of guards also followed Zhao Chen and the others on horseback, protecting everyone!

Horse riding is generally not allowed in Yanjing City, but today's situation is special, the main roads of Yanjing City have been closed, and the people of Yanjing City can only stand aside and watch the scene inside!

This scene of almost ten thousand people galloping is extremely shocking. When Zhao Chen passed by, countless people around him fell to their knees on the ground, and the sound of long live was everywhere!

A quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the Temple of Heaven!

This is not the Temple of Heaven for later generations, but the place where the Khitan people used to worship the sky, and now it is the place where the Temple of Heaven is located for the Song Dynasty!

There are people everywhere around the Temple of Heaven, seeing all the monarchs and ministers galloping, the sound of long live resounds all over the world for a while.

Zhao Chen led the officials to get off the horse and headed forward.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was extremely complicated and there were many rules. It took half an hour before Zhao Chen actually ascended to the place where the Temple of Heaven was located.

He inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, knelt down there, and the surroundings became silent.

"It has been more than seven years since our prime minister, Heshan Sheji! Seven years ago, the Jurchens invaded the Central Plains. Their lives were devastated, and the people were in dire straits. I had to flee from the Bianjing Palace in a hurry! On that day, I vowed that one day I would restore the Central Plains and make the world a reality." The common people will no longer suffer from Jurchen's misfortune!"

"Now that the Central Plains and Yanyun have been restored, Jurchen still occupies the northern and eastern Liaodong garrisons, eyeing our Great Song Dynasty like a tiger!"

"The Tartars may go south at any time. Instead of this, it is better for our army to go north and completely destroy the Jurchens!"

"The army of our dynasty was formed when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed. The soldiers in the army have experienced thousands of battles. Today, there are millions of troops and thousands of generals! Since the ancestors established the Song Dynasty, the military strength has never been as strong as it is today! Today I sacrifice here The ancestors of heaven and earth, look forward to the protection of ancestors of heaven and earth! Soon after, I will lead a personal expedition and lead millions of soldiers to risk their lives to fight. The winter army will join the army in Zhongjing, and then the troops will come to Shangjing and Tokyo, and will eventually go straight to Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion , capture the enemy chieftain, and eliminate the troubles of the Jurchens!"

Zhao Chen said loudly.

Countless ministers and common people below were listening quietly.

"Come here, bring the wine!" Zhao Chen shouted violently.

Someone brought up a bowl of wine at the moment, and Zhao Chen spilled the wine in front of him, and then respectfully bowed before standing up.

"Bring more wine!" Zhao Chen said again.

This time, it is the ministers of the court. I hope that the ministers of the court will work hard and not neglect state affairs. After that, they will respect the many generals of the General Staff Headquarters.

In the early morning of that day, cheers were heard everywhere in Yanjing City, and the entire Yanjing City knew that the imperial court was about to conquer gold in the Northern Expedition!

In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Chen led thousands of soldiers from the imperial battalion to head north towards Juyongguan.
