The situation in the world has changed rapidly in the past few months, with drastic changes after drastic changes, which has made it difficult for people in the changing situation to distinguish between the southeast, southwest and north.

On the Central Plains, the Northern Song Dynasty first recaptured Yanjing and wiped out the hatred of the country's destruction for two hundred years. For a time, all the knowledgeable people in the world thought that Zhao Kai was the real master who wiped out the turbulent times and reopened peace.

But what happened later made the world's general trend blur.

Zhao Kai, who had just recovered Yanjing, actually became a tyrant who did things against the enemy!

He now has no idea of ​​implementing benevolent policies, winning people's hearts, and appeaseing the gentry and people in Yan land, which had been destroyed by the iron hoof of the Jin thief for many years, and Hebei and other places.

On the contrary, in Yan land, Hebei plundered people's wealth, occupied land, and killed scholars. In just a few months, the public was resentful and chaos broke out. In Cangzhou, where the most serious chaos, the rebels had reached tens of thousands, and they once surrounded Qingchi, the head county of Cangzhou, which scared Zhao Kai's local officials appointed by Zhao Kai did not dare to leave the city. Zhao Kai had to send general Dong Jingang to lead 20,000 troops to suppress it. After more than a month of fighting, it was time to suppress the Cangzhou Uprising.

Although the Cangzhou Uprising failed, it also greatly "shakes" Zhao Kai's rule in Yan land and Hebei also allowed the world's knowledgeable people who had fantasies about Zhao Kai to see his positive face clearly.

At the same time, in the direction of Jingdong (called Shandong by the Jin Dynasty), there was also a shocking change. The Song Dynasty actually opened the third branch. After being imprisoned by Emperor Zhuangzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Emperor Zhuangzong of the Song Dynasty, finally ushered in a "belated counterattack". He put on a yellow robe in Chenqiao Pavilion outside Pizhou City and ascended the throne and became emperor. He then announced the opening of a statute to win scholars, claiming to restore the old system of the Song Dynasty and truly share the world with the scholars and officials!

Zhao Gou's policies were immediately supported by most prefectures in the occupied areas of Jingdong. He soon gained the territory of the three prefectures and seventeen prefectures, and obtained a territory that was enough to fight against the two Songs of the North and South.

In the Central Plains, there was a magical scene of the Three Song Dingjiao.

The Great Jin Kingdom, which had evacuated Yanjing City, did not completely leave the Central Plains, but occupied the eastern part of Yanshan Mountain, occupied various mountain passes on the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain, and also occupied the gateway Yuguan, the gateway to Yan from Liaodong, and the Ping and Luanzhou.

Once Zhao Kai's army left Yan land, the Jin soldiers could use Ping and Luanzhou as bases to attack Yan land and Hebei in large quantities. Even if the land was not recaptured, they could still plunder and return.

If Zhao Kai's army is permanently stationed in Yan, it can watch the open gate of the east gate. However, Zhao Kai's army is the main force of the army, and cannot serve for a long time. Moreover, the "free period" is only four months, and then he will have to receive military pay.

However, Zhao Kai's court did not have enough financial resources to pay sufficient military salaries to a standing army of hundreds of thousands of people.

Moreover, if Zhao Kai has always concentrated his main force in Yandi, how could he have the energy to march towards Jingdong and Jiangnan?

Should the world be unified?

Do the Three Songs still need to be united?

Therefore, there is only one option in front of Zhao Kai, which is to take advantage of his army still in a state, launch an Eastern Expedition as soon as possible, conquer Ping and Luanzhou, block the Yanshan entrances, block the Great Jin Kingdom north and east, and then turn back to deal with Zhao Gou from Jingdong.

But Zhao Kai seems to be, no, he has missed the opportunity to quickly defeat the Jin army and seize the Ping and Luanzhou!

"Zhao Kai is almost finished. The Shanhaikou city has been established, and hundreds of small tubes have been built. Zhao Gou raised the flag in Shandong again. Now the time, place and people are not around him. Why should he fight with our Great Jin Kingdom?"

The person who made this comment was the Left Deputy Marshal of the Great Jin Kingdom and the King of Liang Wanyan Zonggan.

The place where he made this comment was at a crossroads and seas more than 70 miles east of Yuguan.

This mouth where the mountains and seas are connected is connected to Yanshan Mountain in the north, the Bohai Sea in the south, and there is also a Dashi River, which originates from Yanshan Mountain in the east, with abundant water and wide river channels.

That’s right, this is the location of Shanhaiguan, which is known as the first pass of the Great Wall in history!

Compared to Yuguan, which is seventy miles away to the west, the terrain of Shanhaiguan is too dangerous. If a city gate is built along the Dashi River and a defense is set up, the general length of the Chengguan is only more than twenty miles long. It also has a sea on the left and Yanshan on the right, and there is a Dashi River in front of it. This terrain can only be described as "natural danger".

So when Wanyan Zonggan, who withdrew from Yanjing, passed by this place, he immediately decided to set up troops and set up defenses at Shanhaikou, occupy this place, and fight to the death with the Song army.

Of course, the Great Jin Kingdom could not build a Shanhaiguan in just three or two months. So now there is only Shanhaikou City Village, and there is no Shanhaiguan Majesty City.

This Shanhaikou city was built on the Dashi River, with wood erected as a fence and soil erected as a wall. After the wooden erected, a solid rammed earth tube was built every 100 steps, and a total of 8864 tube tube tubes were built.

A Shoushan Fort was built on the mountain next to Shanhaikou City, which strangled the right wing of Shanhaikou. An old Longtou Haidang Fort was built behind the left side of Shanhaikou City, which strangled the left wing of Shanhaikou City.

To the east of Shanhaikou City, there is a large area of ​​camps, one camp after another, and a twenty-mile camp!

Between the camps, there is a small county town, which is Haiyang County town where the Marshal's Mansion is temporarily stationed.

There is a city every few miles west of Shanhaikou City and between Yuguan, seventy miles away. Including Yuguan, there is a total of twelve fortresses that can be independently maintained and become a supporter of the army.

In addition to the above, Wanyan Zonggan also has a great geographical advantage, that is, there is a harbor on the east side of the Lao Longtou Haidang Fort. It was originally a small port, but after two or three months of expansion, it has become a harbor that can carry a large amount of materials and allow large numbers of troops to land or board ships to leave.

With this location, the Jin Dynasty could bully the Northern Song Dynasty, which had just had a small section of coastline.

Now Wanyan Zonggan is standing on the old Longtou Haidang Fort, looking at the sea in the south, looking at the west of Liaoxi, looking at the west of Yan, and looking at the mountains in the north. The more you look at it, the more you feel stable!

In addition to the convenient and stable location, Wanyan Xiebao, the general manager of the Beijing Road left-behind police station who was responsible for creating small tubes, just reported to him that the progress of creating small tubes has now reached 500 "eight liang coppers" available!

In addition, Xibao also found 1,000 camels to carry these eight-two-tubes weighing about 100 kilograms and matching gunpowder boxes. A wooden saddle that can hold up eight-two-tubes is also specially designed. This wooden saddle can be tied to the camel's back. During the battle, as long as the camel kneels on the ground, it can fire the eight-two-tubes!

With this kind of eight-two tube that can be carried by camels, the lightweight tube of the Song army is of course not worth mentioning.

Didn’t Zhao Kai’s time be sharp when he used firearms? Without the advantages of firearms, can his time still be saved?

And now Zhao Kai has only one of the three parts of the Song Dynasty!

As for Renhe, look at Yan land, the beacons everywhere in Hebei and the literati and officials from Yanzhao looked south at Lin'an, you will know that Renhe is not with Zhao Kai's side.

Can people and Zhao Kai continue to win if they lose the time and place?

"What the king of the uncle said is that Zhao Kai is almost over now! He has no time, right place, and harmonious people, but he has to fight, and he has to take the initiative to attack us. Because if he doesn't fight, he will be unable to escape from Yan land and cannot escape from Zhao Gou, and he will not be able to go south to deal with Zhao Gou. With the support of us and the scholars and officials of the Central Plains, he will be able to get along with others. If Zhao Kai stubbornly tied to Yan land, then the time will be in Zhao Gou. As long as time goes by, Zhao Gou will definitely grow stronger and stab Zhao Kai hard in the back!"

Wanyan Xiebao analyzed the words of Wanyan Zonggan and said it very well.

To be honest, Zhao Gou is indeed a great threat to Zhao Kai now!

Because Zhao Gou gave a favorite route for scholars and officials in the world to return to the state before the Xuanhe crisis!

The Three Parts of the Song Dynasty represent three different development routes. Zhao Kai’s route was to retreat to the Han and Tang Dynasties or even the tyrannical Qin, transforming the Song Dynasty into a land-based feudal military state, that is, to unite the men who can defeat the Central Plains and conquer the world together, the local master!

This route is fierce, but it will seriously damage the interests of the vested interest group of scholars and doctors. Although the scholars and doctors on Zhao Kai’s territory are suppressed very much, they have not been eliminated. They are just daring to speak out and dare not beat them, and they cannot beat them.

Zhao Huan originally wanted to be an official of scholars and officials, but somehow, his country embarked on the "financial orientation" route. Of course, it was beneficial for those literati and officials in the southeast who had a deep integration with industry and commerce. However, the businessmen's small abacus was too exquisite and they were unwilling to do business at a loss, so they were willing to go north in the southeast and were willing to go overseas to grab some trade transfer points that were easy to make profits.

This path is a bit like England in history. You don’t want large territories on the European continent. Go to the New World and India to find a way to make up for it!

Unfortunately, the Southern Song Dynasty was not an island country, and the Yangtze River was not an English Channel, so their way of playing was that they were short-sighted and could not threaten Zhao Kai and Jin Kingdom in the north.

But Zhao Gou is different. While serving truly land-based scholars, he can also provide a route of "spend money to buy peace".

Now the Great Jin Kingdom has been beaten to pieces by Zhao Kai. Even if they can win a game at Shanhaikou, they will never seek to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the Jin Kingdom's goal was to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and then turn into a situation like the Liao Kingdom, and maintain the situation with the Song Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Therefore, Zhao Kai's "military and national route" and Zhao Huan's "militaristic route" have lost their appeal to the Central Plains scholars and officials, and Zhao Gou is the favorite of the Central Plains scholars and officials!

Therefore, once Zhao Kai was defeated in Shanhaikou, the scholars and doctors who had been reluctant to post before would form a group of Zhao Gou and push the Song Dynasty back to its original route together
Chapter completed!
