Chapter 161 Report to Grandpa Zong that someone has recovered Kaifeng Mansion!
The second update! Today we will try to get two more updates!
......
At the eastern foot of Guangwu Mountain, where the Bian River and the Yellow River converge.
The military camp where the remnants of the Kaifeng camp were stationed in the past was silent, and only the sound of various military flags fluttering in the wind on the head of the camp was heard.
The generals of the remnants of the army in the camp, from the commander Ma Changyou, Xia Chu, and Wang De, including the chief generals, deputy generals and generals of each department, all gathered in front of the commander's military tent. Dozens of people stood in sternly and stayed at the just-arrived Tokyo, the Xuanfu Envoy of Gyeonggi Road, the Yingtian Envoy of Gyeonggi Road, Quan was in charge of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and the court invited the doctor Zong Ze to see him.
Zhao Kai's way of employing people is to use people without doubt, and he doesn't use them. It's a bit like Sun Quan's work during the Three Kingdoms. The standard of delegating power to the people below is also very great, especially those important officials who were pushed to the front line to carry the thunder must be given enough power.
Zong Ze is now an important official who bears thunder!
To ensure the peace and stability of the Chang'an imperial court, someone will have to carry the thunder at Hedong Road and Kaifeng Prefecture.
In Hedong, Zhao Kai had arranged elite soldiers and strong generals, and asked his brother Zhao Zhi to take charge. He also arranged Zhe family generals, Ma Kuo, Ji Yi, Zhao Bushi (Shouxiangzhou) and others on the periphery of Taiyuan Prefecture, which was considered to be sufficient insurance.
And Kaifeng Prefecture... After thinking about it, it was only this Zong Ze "Grandpa Zong"!
It seems that he was the one who recovered Kaifeng Prefecture in history - at least in the history that Zhao Kai knew, Kaifeng Prefecture was snatched back from the Jin people...
And Zong Ze now also thinks that he is going to recapture Kaifeng Prefecture this time!
So after being welcomed into the central army's tent by a heavy person, as soon as he sat down, he straightened the point and asked who would be willing to follow him to recover Kaifeng Prefecture.
And the generals' reaction was... stunned!
Not afraid, but stunned!
What does this mean?
Zong Ze looked at the group of unpromising martial artists below, and his white eyebrows were furrowed - wouldn't it be so cowardly, right? Isn't there a handsome man?
Thinking of this, Grandpa Zong's face was long and he stroked his bearded man and said, "Don't anyone dare to go to Kaifeng Mansion? Then... I will go with Wang Youwu (Wang Shan)!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Shan, who had been invited by the robbers in Taihang Mountain. This guy looked very fierce, with a fat face, a thick beard, and a fierce look in his eyes... It should be very kind!
Wang Shan saw Zong Ze's gaze and felt a slight conscience in his heart... The hero only tried to breathe a sigh of relief! At the critical moment, he can't lose his share!
"Don't worry, bachelor, with me, Wang Shan, Kaifeng Mansion can even go there!"
Zong Ze nodded, and then looked at the most fierce and majestic among the generals below.
The man who was attracted to Zong Ze was also named Wang, with a single name of De. He was originally the number one strong general of the Yao family army, and he had been charging forward for Yao Gu, Yao Pingzhong and his son for many years, but he suddenly ran away in the back of his back...
So now seeing Zong Ze's expectant gaze, he could only stand up and say loudly to Grandpa Zong: "Reported to Shuai Xuan, it's not that I don't want to go to Kaifeng Prefecture, but that Kaifeng Prefecture has long been recaptured!"
Has it been recovered? Zong Ze was stunned. Someone else was sent from the higher authorities? Why didn’t you tell me?
"Who is so kind?" Wang Shan blurted out.
Wang De replied: "That man is the descendant of King Fu Dao. He is known as Shuxiang and is appointed as the General of the Zuo Jinwu Guard."
It's really a big mistake!
Kaifeng Mansion, which both Zhao Kai and Zhao Huan brothers "want" to "have" was actually taken away by someone!
The man who took over Kaifeng Prefecture was actually Zhao Tingmei's great-grandson who was cheated by Emperor Taizong of Song. She was named Zhao Shuxiang. She was two generations older than Zhao Kai and was one generation older than Emperor Shenzong of Song. Before the fall of Kaifeng Prefecture, he was a "environmental sanitation".
Oh, it's not about environmental sanitation, but about "environmental protection and protection". In fact, it's just a free lunch. There are 48 names in total, all of which are generals, generals, and generals. They use the names of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty, generals, and generals. They either use the actual position or coax a group of other people from the Zhao family to play.
However, Zhao Shuxiang was a "environmental sanitation" with some real skills. When Emperor Zhuangzong of Song (Zhao Ji) escaped in person, he ran away because of his good martial arts skills.
After Song Zhuangzong died in his country, he led dozens of cavalry back to Kaifeng Prefecture. As a result, when he returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, most of the people in Kaifeng Prefecture had already disappeared, leaving only an empty city, some poor people, refugees, and some chaotic soldiers who could not escape... In short, it was a mess!
And this Uncle Zhao really had a good temper. Seeing that no one wanted such a big Kaifeng Mansion, he wanted it himself... The Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture's sign was put on the Kaifeng Prefecture City!
Using this sign and his identity as the "Zhao family", he also gathered a group of military and civilians, and also won a large number of officials.
The most exaggerated thing is that he even asked his subordinates to call him the king...
"What? He has become king?" Zong Ze glared at the group of people below, "You, don't care?"
Wang De spread his hands, "Bachelor, we sent someone to ask. But Uncle Zhao told him that he was the Emperor of Hedong, the current Emperor Chang'an. He also said that when the late emperor passed away, he personally passed the will and ordered the third son of the emperor to ascend the throne, so..."
It turned out that Uncle Zhao and his men also witnessed Zhao Ji's death and heard Zhao Ji's will!
With this excuse, Zhao Shuxiang certainly ignored Yuwen Xuzhong, Yao Gu and others, and became the "closing king" in Kaifeng Prefecture City.
As for Yuwen Xuzhong and Yao Gu were the clay Buddha who could not protect himself at that time, so of course he did not dare to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to capture Zhao Shuxiang.
As for the Jin soldiers in Huazhou, because Zhao Shuxiang's fish was too small, and Kaifeng Prefecture had long been an empty city and had no value for robbery, he just pretended not to see it.
So a Kaifeng government government, which neither surrendered to Zhao Kai, did not serve loyalty to Zhao Huan, nor did it surrender to the Jin thieves, existed from May until late August today...
"Okay, I understand!" Zong Ze breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Dedao, "Wang Zheng, how many people do you have to use?"
"There are 3,000 elite soldiers." Wang De replied.
"Okay!" Zong Ze nodded, "Follow me... I also brought 2,000 people, and we have a total of 5,000 people to Kaifeng Prefecture!"
Ma Changyou, the old and a little confused commander, asked, "Where is that Uncle Zhao? Is he the Emperor of Chang'an?"
Zong Ze smiled and said, "Yes, that's why the Emperor Chang'an sent me to Kaifeng Prefecture to replace him!"
Ma Changyou sighed and smiled, "Fortunately I didn't fight him... Otherwise, the crime would be serious!"
After Zong Ze learned about the situation in Kaifeng Prefecture, he did not get up immediately. Instead, he rested in the Guangwu Mountain Camp for three days, and walked around to check the terrain - this was the ancient battlefield where the Chu and Han dynasties fought for hegemony back then!
At the same time, he also inspected the situation of various troops stationed here, wrote a secret memorial to Zhao Kai, asking Wang Shan to send people to Chang'an immediately, and then led Wang Shan and Wang De's 5,000 troops to take over Kaifeng Prefecture.
The promised recovery turned into a takeover, which was a little disappointed...
......
"Official..."
"I'll be together if you call me brother and I'll be together! Good minister, I've hoped you... The road to Fuding Fuyan is still going smoothly? The local Western Army generals didn't seek trouble for you, right?"
Chang'an City, Daming Palace (actually the Xuanfusi Yamen), and Chongzheng Hall, a banquet was already on hand.
Zhao Kai was treating Han Shizhong, who had just returned from Fuyan Road to dinner.
After pacifying Shaanxi, Zhao Kai's good brothers all assigned important tasks. Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Huang Wuji, Xiang Ke, Li Xiaozhong and other five were sent by a pacification envoy and military envoy to Xihe Road, Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, Fuyan Road and other places to be responsible for clearing the fields, reorganizing the army, and establishing military offices.
These work is quite smooth - after all, it did not touch the fundamental interests of the Western Army generals!
But there is no resistance at all - the reform is actually quite strong!
The "Twelve Medal System" (originally called "Twelve Medals of Tiance", but now there are local troops outside of Tiance, so the word "Tiance" is removed) can protect the economic interests of the generals of the Western Army and give them a broad enough upward path. However, once this system is implemented, the Western Army will "turn private into public."
Because the "Twelve Medals System" that protects the fundamental interests of the Western Army soldiers, not those generals, the Western Army will evolve from the generals' private soldiers to the state's public instruments.
In addition, Shaanxi lacks land and cannot satisfy the desire for land by the five-way military soldiers, so it becomes inevitable that the five-way military soldiers will go east... This makes the five-way military soldiers closer to the court, and their relationship with the Western Army increasingly alienated.
In this case, the Western Army generals would of course feel uneasy... After all, they did not form a feud with Zhao Kai!
"Brother," Han Shizhong looked at Zhao Kai with a smile and whispered, "You are a phoenix among people... and have been on the expedition for many years. Are there enough people to serve around you?"
"Enough!" Zhao Kai smiled, "I haven't suffered any hardship..."
Speaking of this, he felt something was wrong. He said that the son of Emperor Zhuangzong of Song!
"Brother," Han Shizhong didn't seem to hear anything wrong, "You are not afraid of suffering, but can you bear it when Concubine Liu (Tiannu Guo) serves alone? I heard from my Hongyu that she has seen her old age recently!"
"Really? Don't think..."
Han Shizhong smiled, "Brother, you are the Lord of the Nine Five! How can you only have three wives? If you only have three wives, we brothers will be embarrassed to take them home one by one. Look at Brother Yue, they are already the Grand Marshal, and only one wife..."
"Then I have..." Zhao Kai felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
He hasn't worked hard to manage, so why is he going to embarrass the path of debauchery? Is this possible?
Han Shizhong smiled, "Brother, you have to take more concubines! The generals and gates of the Western Army have good women who are similar to Concubine Liu. You might as well take more than a dozen or twenty people and treat them as soldiers of the women!"
Chapter completed!
