Chapter 271: The Jurchens are coming

Zhao Shu's words made the surrounding merchants look at each other, and their expressions were full of shock. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, all dynasties and dynasties, all follow this iron law, commerce has always been the last, they never dared to believe that an emperor would personally intervene in this matter, but also sent envoys to discuss the smooth flow of trade routes, if Your Majesty really acted like this, then the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty will be more prosperous.

For a while, everyone bowed to each other: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Zhao Shu raised his hand slightly, motioned for everyone to get up, and then said with a smile: "After I return to Yanjing, I will order Yousi to re-determine the commercial tax and the tax situation of the operation of goods from all walks of life, so that goods from all over the world can be better circulated." You can also go to various places to trade. ”

When Zhao Shu was still preparing to speak, Li Gang came in a hurry, his expression was full of worry, Zhao Shu glanced at Li Gang, and then said to the ministers on the left and right: "Specific matters, you will discuss them, and the commerce and trade in Guanzhong should rise as soon as possible." ”

When Zhao Shu said, he got up and left, Li Gang also followed, and when he walked out of the main hall, Li Gang immediately hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Jurchens have sent troops, Wanyan Zongbi led 100,000 Jurchens to send troops from Huining Mansion, crossed Luanhe Mountain, and went straight to Yuguan, all the way to victory, and the troops have come to Yuguan City, and were blocked by our defenders, but Yuguan City suffered heavy casualties, and all the surrounding Wu forts were transferred up.

The Governor's Mansion had already sent Wang Gui's fire cavalry and Wujie's Yang Weijun to rush to Yuguan, but the Jurchen army had also been found in the direction of Gubeikou, and the Governor's Mansion had not yet found out clearly. ”

Li Gang looked worried about the quick report, and after Zhao Shu heard it, he grinned and sneered: "This Jurchen has not been scared yet, so Wu Jie commanded the army of the Quartet of Yuguan, and went all out to deal with the Jin Wushu, so that Han Shizhong commanded 80,000 cavalry, and the troops went out of Gubeikou, went straight to Chengde, and coerced Huining." ”

Zhao Shu said coldly, but Li Gang was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, General Wang Gui has taken away 30,000 fire cavalry, and General Wu Jie's has also taken away 70,000 troops, if General Han takes away another 80,000 elite troops, I am afraid that the sixteen states of Yanyun will have no troops to defend, and the other armies stationed in Jiangnan, Jiaozhi and Dali will not be able to mobilize for a while and a half, and the garrison in Guanzhong cannot move. ”

Li Gang was shocked in his heart, the entire Great Song Dynasty was controlled by His Majesty, and most of them relied on force, and the literati in Jiangnan and other places all had the intention of revenge, once there was a change in Yanjing, there was no guarantee that there would be turmoil in Jiangnan and other places.

"I will return to Yanjing tomorrow, but I want to see who dares to make trouble. Ordered Yue Fei to sit in Chang'an, command the army in Guanzhong, let Zhang Jun protect me, and rush back to Yanjing in the starry night. ”

After Zhao Shu finished speaking, the two major guards of bronze and black iron, who had been following him, went directly down to give orders, Li Gang looked at this extremely domineering Taishi Emperor, and smiled bitterly, and said nothing more, in the face of such a powerful emperor, maybe no one dared to do anything.

Half a day later, there were 800 miles of expedited paperwork horses heading towards Yanjing, and the entire Guanzhong army also changed rapidly, Zhang Jun led 30,000 Guanzhong soldiers to Chang'an outside the palace, and Yue Fei also came to clean up.

Zhao Shu looked at Yue Fei, and said with a little expectation: "Qing has a steady temperament, with you sitting in Chang'an, I have no worries, but Guanzhong is tired, Qing must pay attention to agriculture on the one hand, and support businessmen on the other." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Yue Fei hugged his fists and returned the salute, and was about to bow down, Zhao Shu stepped forward to help Yue Fei up and said with a smile: "Although Xixia is peaceful, it is not long-lasting, Qing must be on guard day and night here, when I was in Xiazhou, I have been entrusted to iron punishment, this son has a stable temperament, and he is worthy of a great responsibility." ”

Zhao Shu instructed again and again, Yue Fei also remembered one by one, when the day was in the sky, Zhao Shu turned over and rode towards the sixteen states of Yanyun, Li Gang and others came later, Zhao Shu had to gallop on horseback, in fact, with Zhao Shu's strength, he could reach the sixteen states of Yanyun in a blink of an eye, but along the way, Zhao Shu had to take the 30,000 cavalry in these passes, which was the moment when Shi En also showed his majesty.

Zhao Shu wanted to take the opportunity to know Yanjing's overall reaction, the courtiers' way to deal with it, and the changes that would occur when Yanyun's sixteen states suddenly encountered a major chaos.

As the cavalry galloped away, the entire Yanjing was also preparing quickly, and the Governor's Office and the Cabinet jointly issued an order to gather cavalry and war horses to collect grain and grass.

Han Shizhong, the governor of the capital, personally led the troops to the expedition, if this long-distance attack was successful, it would solve the Jurchen invasion, and it would also reverse the strategy of defending as an attack, and Yanjing could use this as a basis to negotiate with the Jurchens to save the second emperor of Huiqin.

This assembly was also extremely fast, and no one in the entire Yanjing dared to slack off.

After the third day, the army was assembled, 80,000 troops were assembled, each cavalry was one person and three horses, and more than 200,000 war horses were also the sum of all the war horses in the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures for several years, immediately carrying a large amount of grain, grass and food, and most of Yanjing's storage materials were also consumed.

An army of 80,000 set out from Yanjing, with horses' hooves like thunder, and tens of thousands of war horses and armored cavalry swept towards the north like a huge torrent of steel.

These cavalrymen were the most elite knights, and they could travel hundreds of miles in a day and a night.

After countless people in Yanjing City saw these cavalry leave, some were happy, some were dignified, and some were full of worry, and an undercurrent was surging in Yanjing City, especially some literati, who were even more agitated.

At this time, Zhao Shu also came to the sixteen states of Yanyun under the escort of Zhang Jun and others, and along the way, Zhao Shu galloped with these soldiers, and his riding skills and strength convinced these soldiers, and that majesty also made the soldiers awe-inspired.

"General Zhang, there are a large number of cavalry galloping dozens of miles away, and the speed is extremely fast, I am afraid that it will reach us in a few breaths. ”

A few scouts said with panicked expressions, but Zhang Jun roared: "Alert, alert!"

When Zhang Jun roared, the 30,000 cavalry also suddenly shook and quickly drew their swords, guns and weapons.

Just when Zhang Jun and the others were ready, the earth trembled, and the sound of thunder spread all around, which shocked Zhang Jun and the others, they were all cavalry, how could they not know such a formation, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of cavalry troops, and their 30,000 people will definitely not be able to match.

"Don't be alarmed!"

When Zhang Jun was frightened, Zhao Shu's voice came from far away from the rear, which was full of tranquility, making tens of thousands of cavalry slowly quiet down and making all the soldiers tremble.

At this moment, a black line appeared in everyone's field of vision a few miles in front of them.

With the appearance of the big red, countless cavalry of the black armor redwoods rode by, like a huge torrent flowing in front of everyone, this might, this spirit made the arrogant Zhang Jun's face a little pale, he thought that the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were out of the customs, but now when he saw the army of Yanjing, that trace of arrogance was gone.

When the torrent was galloping, a cavalry detachment was separated from the army and galloped towards everyone, these war horses were hundreds of meters away, all the cavalry dismounted in unison, as if fixed on the ground, and the cavalry galloping in the distance also slowly stopped.

"Minister Han Shizhong led his troops to meet Your Majesty!"

Han Shizhong's voice came quickly, and the subordinates behind him also bowed in unison: "Meet Your Majesty!"

The sound sounded like thunder on the earth, which made the 30,000 soldiers in Guanzhong look a little shocked, looking at this army, dizzy.

"Go, I'm waiting for you in Yanjing, sweeping away the Jurchens for me. ”

Zhao Shu's faint words came, and this time the sound was like a drum that shook the sky, full of high-spirited battle intent.

"I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust. ”

Han Shizhong was the first to shout, and tens of thousands of troops behind him also roared in unison. (To be continued.) )
