Huaiyang Army, Xiapi City, and the Dutong Yamen of Dajin East Road.

In the lobby of the yamen, Wu Shu, the fourth prince of the Great Jin Kingdom and Wu Limei, the fifteenth prince, were watching the two of them opening the coffin that had been covered without a glance.

This is a fine thin-skinned coffin with two good coffins. The coffin boards are almost as thin as rice paper. Lying inside are two corpses that are ugly. One of them has swollen heads, and dry blood can be seen at the eye sockets, nostrils, and corners of the mouth. It is obvious that they have been beaten like this.

The other one is a hanged ghost, with his tongue spitting out long and his eyes bulging, and he looks like he is dying with his eyes open.

A escort who escaped death reported the causes of the deaths of the two envoys. "If the fourth prince and the fifteenth prince, the dead man whose head was swollen was Senator Cai. He was beaten to death by the civil servants of the Song State in Jiangdu court with that white wooden board..."

"What?" Wanyan Zongbi shouted, and saw that his face turned pale and his muscles were twitching. "Is it because he was beaten to death by a group of civil servants? Or in the court? This, this... why are these people so fierce? What about the officials of the Song State? Why don't you care?"

"What do you care about..." The attendant shook his head repeatedly, "The official in Song State was obsolete and sat on it in a daze, not daring to say a word. After Senator Cai was beaten to death, the group of civil servants wanted to kill Liu Shuai Envoy. The official family clearly refused, but was forced to be forced by a bearded civil servant, so he had to give Liu Shuai Envoy suicide. Liu Shuai Envoy refused to die, but the bearded civil servant asked the warrior outside the hall to come in and help Liu Shuai Envoy commit suicide..."

"Help commit suicide? How to help?" Zhao Gou asked with a frown.

"That's how you help..." The escort made a choking gesture.

It turned out that Liu Yu was strangled to death!

"Just in the court?" Zhao Gou was a little unbelievable.

"I was not in the court, but I helped Liu Shuai commit suicide after I dragged it out... But Senator Cai was beaten to death in the court!"

Wanyan Zongbi smacked his lips, "Do you know who are the civil servants who beat people?"

"If you go back to the fourth prince, I'll ask someone to inquire," the escort was quite clever. "They were the left Privy Councilor Zhao Mingcheng, the new army's army chief Yuwen Xuzhong, the chief chief of the Lianghuai and the Jiangdu left-behind Zhang Shuye, the coastal chief He Li, the deputy chief of the Privy Council, and the new military Xue Bi of the Lianghuai, the deputy chief of the Privy Council, and the deputy chief of the Privy Council, and the new military Lu Zhi of the Liangjiang, and the military weapon supervisor Li Guang..."

The escort reported dozens of names in one breath. Except for Yuwen Xuzhong, who was the chief censor, who was the chief censor, the others were civil servants in charge of the army.

Wanyan Zongbi asked in confusion: "How could these civil officials be so fierce?"

"The king doesn't know anything," the answer to the question was Liu Yu's son, Liu Lin with tears in his eyes. "Since he moved south to Jinling, the official family has become increasingly stupid. Because most of the northern martial people support Prince Yun, they do not believe in martial people. The two Grand Marshals, Yao Taiwei and Liu Taiwei were all seized from military power, and the rest of the military people are not allowed to use it.

After not using military personnel, the official favored a group of civil officials who spoke nonsense about resisting the Jin Dynasty, hoping to use them to command military training. Later, he also held a large-scale military Jinshi class and obtained 403 military Jinshi in one go, all of which were sent to lead soldiers..."

Wanyan Zongbi was still a little confused, "How can civil officials who read the books of sages be more domineering than military officials?"

Although Liu Lin's father was a civil servant, he had no knowledge and liked guns and sticks, so he was recruited by his father as a military officer. Therefore, he knew the suffering of military officers, and even more, why civil officials were arrogant after taking charge of the troops.

Liu Lin sighed: "The Song Dynasty has always used literature to control martial arts, and valued culture over military forces... Military officers are just pawns. The greater the credit and the higher the ability, the more suspicious they will be and the faster they die. There are always a large group of civil officials staring at them, and the censors want to take people to the death. Often, a small mistake will be severely punished. Over time, the military officers leading the troops are cautious, and how dare they be related to the word "doubtle"?

However, the group of civil officials who led the army who were credited by the government did not have the caution that they had developed for more than a hundred years. While holding military power, they also regarded themselves as civil officials and Qingliu. It was really hard to touch or say!

The officials were also lazy in government affairs, and were all thinking about building Jinling City and guarding against Prince Yun... There was no restriction on the civil officials in charge of the army. They agreed to everything they asked and asked for. Even if the censors gave their advice, they would stay at the center and not send it. Therefore, the civil officials who led the army were more and more authoritarian, and now they were a little out of control."

In fact, it’s not that it’s out of control, but it’s really impossible to clean up!

In Zhao Huan's court, the generals had been completely defeated and could not get up at all. There was almost no military eunuch, so the military civil servants were the only and last choice!

If Zhao Huan really wants to suppress military civil servants to the previous position of military officers, then these civil servants don’t have to rebel. Isn’t it okay to quit?

But if they quit, Zhao Huan's Jinling court would have no army!

Without the army, how can his official family continue to be able to do it?

The enemy he is facing now is not just the Golden Thieves... and he also has a good brother Zhao Kai!

If the Jin thief catches him, he can still give him a drink. If Zhao Kai catches him, he will definitely kill him immediately!

Therefore, Zhao Huan had to support a group of military civil servants. Even if they were arrogant, they would still have to protect his official family.

"The emperor is confused!"

Zhao Gou, who was standing beside him, already understood what happened. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "The soldiers are all military officers. What's the point of being civil and military officers? And the ancestors had different paths in civil and military affairs, so that the civil servants could control each other? Now he directly abolished military officers and let civil officials take charge of the military officers. In fact, he could have let civil officials suppress military officers and let the military officers bring some soldiers. Although they could not defeat the country, they could still maintain it.

Now, without military officers, there will be no different paths of civil and military affairs, and there will be no civil and military use to control military affairs... The civil officials leading troops are not restricted. How can they not be arrogant?

What he did? At first glance, it looks different from Luoyang, but in fact it is no different. It is all a way to go to generals and ministers! I really don’t know how he was the crown prince for more than 20 years?

The Song Dynasty is about to end, no, the Song Dynasty is already... over!"

I have to say that Zhao Gou is still very versatile!

In the original history, the first general he had to be wary of was not a general like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.

But Li Gang, Zong Ze, and Zhang Su, who are mentally polite but are not very obedient. If these people really control the army, they will be much more dangerous than Yue Fei and Han Shizhong!

Therefore, Li Gang was dismissed and Zhang Su was exiled to Lingnan. There was only one Zong Ze who was respectful and arrogant and domineering. Zhao Gou could do anything to him.

However, no matter how difficult Zhao Gou lives, he did not dare to go to Tokyo to seek refuge with Zong Ze, and he did not dare to settle in Xiangyang, which is closer to Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture, but instead hid in Yangzhou from afar... If Zhao Gou was just afraid of the Jin soldiers, going to Xiangyang would be more stable than going to Yangzhou.

Xiangyang itself is a world-famous city, and when Zhao Gou avoided Yangzhou, the six routes of Shaanxi were not captured. Zhao Gou could draw the Western army from Shaanxi to Xiangyang to protect the enemy. But he went to Yangzhou where there were no soldiers available...

In addition, after Zhao Gou transferred Fan Zhixu, who was restrained by Shaanxi Sixth Route, he did not appoint Xuan Shuai, who was restrained by Shaanxi Sixth Route, but instead let Shaanxi Sixth Route fight each other... As a result, Zong Ze appointed a commander (Wang Shu) who was restrained by Shaanxi Sixth Route, and even took office!

It can be seen that once this civil servant in charge of the army loses the constraints, he will become much more arrogant than the generals of Zhongxing!

Fortunately, Zong Ze was old and he was only 40 years old. It is hard to say whether the Song Dynasty would have appeared, "Zhao and Zong, share the world together"!

But one thing is certain, Zong Ze, the old man, "less politics" than Yue Fei, and Zhao Gou has no way to deal with him.

And there are now a large group of "Zong Ze" around Zhao Huan, with a population of hundreds!!

......

"Don't worry, the Huaihe River defense line is as solid as a rock, and it is difficult for the Jin thieves to attack the city of Jiangdu!"

"The official family just sits in Jiangdu, and the Jin thieves will be dealt with!"

"Although it's cold and rainy now, and the yellow-floor area is about to freeze, there is nothing to worry about... Because after the yellow-floor area freezes, the prince's soldiers may enter Songzhou. Even if the prince does not send troops, the Jin thieves must be careful."

"Wait a few months, the southeast wind will be together, and the navy will sail north... With the advantage of a pot of explosion, where can I go along the coast of the north?"

"The official family...there seems to be a little small in the Jiangdu treasury. Did you transport another ten million coins from Jinling?"

In the Jiangdu Palace, Zhao Huan finally realized that "the coward is gone"... because these "Zhao Kuangyin" don't look very cowardly and are not afraid of golden thieves!

Because in their opinion, Huaidong is as solid as a stolen person!

In time, the Jin soldiers could cross the Huai River from Huai'an east. If they wanted to go south, they would have to return to the canal - because the water network east of the canal was densely packed and there were no roads, and they were usually transported in and out by water. The cavalry of the Jin thieves could not pass at all, so there was no need to worry.

There are many fortresses along the canal, and the Song army can also send troops to support through the canal, so there is no accident.

What we need to worry about now is that the pan-pandemic area is frozen in the winter, and the Jin soldiers cross the river from the section of the Huaihe River west of the canal.

But this is no big deal. The river is strong and not afraid of attack by the Jin soldiers. There are naval forces on the Yangtze River, and the Jin thieves cannot cross the river. At most, they burn and kill in the Huaixi area... But the new army is not easy to mess with!

Moreover, the court could also spend money to ask Zhao Kai to send troops to restrain the Jin thieves.

When spring comes, the navy can also transport the land division northward!

In short, there are many ways to fight back the thieves, Zhao Huan just rest assured!

However, Zhao Huan looked pale and looked sad, as if he was still sick... He had nightmares these days, and when he closed his eyes, he saw a group of "Zhao Kuangyin" beating Cai Songnian with tablets. Sometimes Cai Songnian would become him Zhao Huan!
