The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 16 Heading to Longhu Mountain

(It's really uncomfortable. I don't have a fever and my body doesn't hurt anymore, but it has completely transformed into other symptoms of a severe cold, and I also sweat from time to time. Please forgive me, thank you.)
In the end, Han Mao spent a total of 5 taels of silver to redeem the crime, which can be regarded as exposing the incident.

As for the negligent Commander Zhu, he saved his life, but he also took out 5000 taels of silver and was demoted to become the head of the capital.

It's not that Zhao Tun didn't want to kill him, but even if Commander Zhu is killed, Commander Zhang and Commander Wang are still worse than Commander Zhu.

The officials in the Tokyo Forbidden Army are already rotten and deeply intertwined. It is simply unrealistic to want to make drastic reforms. Zhao Tang has no intention of putting too much effort into this. things.

On Yuri, the money from both sides was sent to the palace, and Zhao Tun ordered someone to take 5000 taels to Suiyulou, and distribute it to those who fought last night, and the remaining 5 taels would naturally fall into his own pocket.

In fact, as Zhao Tongru said to Han Mao, the Qi Palace is a courtyard with clear water. As the King of Qi, he opened the mansion outside. For more than a year, and to support a large group of subordinates in the palace, it is not bad to have a few thousand taels left.

And counting what he had accumulated in the palace before, he didn't really have much spare money in his hands, and the salary for promoting the bodyguard and military commander was quite high, but he had just taken over, and he had never seen even a dime of money. Now the 5 taels It was an emergency.

There are too many things that Zhao Tun wants to do. Many things can't be done without gold and silver. Now under the court and outside the four fields, the crisis is imminent. What he has to do is to plan ahead and take the lead step by step Occupy the most advantageous position in the future trend, but the premise is that he has money.

At first, Zhao Tang also thought about making some inventions and creations, and making some strange things, but after reviewing the situation, he found that it was not the time. When things from later generations come out, it doesn't matter whether they can make a lot of money or not, but it will attract people's full attention. A mistake is not worth the loss.

He is now worth about 8000 taels of silver, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the big things he wants to do, so, that night, Zhao Tong began to sit in the palace to collect money.

Naturally, what was collected was the money from the sale of the official. The guards and the army division were reset. Apart from their respective duyuhous, the cavalry division and the infantry division, there were so many idle jobs above, all of which could be sold for money.

Zhao Tun was promoted, and he was also the commander of the capital. The two divisions and the three government offices only obeyed the emperor's orders and checked and balanced with the Privy Council, so he had the right to recommend most officials.

Except for the two deputy commanders who need to be personally asked by the emperor, the rest of Zhao Tun are all planning to sell. After all, he will sell others if he doesn't sell them, and then come to him to ask for favors, instead of letting these generals spend their money on others There, it is better to spend it on his side.

As for the two deputy commanders, he gave one to Tan Zhen, and he left the name blank on the other one for the Emperor Daojun to decide. He also drew up a brochure, attached all the recommended candidates, and handed it along with the memorial.

In this way, Zhao Tun opened the door of the mansion and received gifts for three days, earning a total of several 10 taels of silver, but it was a little less than he expected. It is true that some generals have been in the army for several generations. But when he came out to run for office, it was inevitable that people would follow him, so he had no choice but to accept it.

A few days later, the emperor’s will came from the court, Tan Zhen’s deputy commander of the capital naturally agreed, and the other recommended generals also passed one by one, but another deputy commander of the guard’s pro-military division However, the Emperor Daojun appointed someone, who was actually the deputy commander of the former Dianqian Division.

Zhao Tang knew that this must be Gao Qiu's mischief, but he didn't make any changes. He just tidied up the whole department first, and then prepared to go to Longhu Mountain for a visit. As for other things, we will only talk about it when we come back.

It was the first ten days of May at this time, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Zhao Tun went to the palace to ask for his life, and met with his own empress, the Queen Zheng. After that, he prepared a guard of honor. He chose an auspicious day and set off for Guixi, Xinzhou, Jiangxi. county.

This road is surrounded by green mountains and clear water.Strange flowers bloom splendidly to pave the forest, and tender willows dance with golden silk to brush the ground.The wind is warm and the sun is warm. I passed through the mountain village of Yedian;Luo Yi is rippling in the world of mortals, and a horse gallops in Zimo.

Let's say that Zhao Tun led a guard of honor, and a group of people followed, sometimes riding horses, sometimes riding in cars, and finally arrived outside Xinzhou City on this day.

He is the king's arrival, and he is also the commander of the guards' army division. Most of the imperial guards in the world are in charge, and all the local troops are under his control. The truth is that power is in your hands.

It was noon, all the officials of Xinzhou City came out of the city to line up, even the officials from Hongzhou, the capital, all arrived.

Zhao Tun rode a horse and watched in front of the city. Not only did Yang Shicheng bring out all the officials, he even brought out some soldiers and horses, and lined up to show grandeur.

Zhao Tong looked at these soldiers and horses, the 80 imperial troops in the Song Dynasty, in fact, there were more in the north than in the south.

There are only more than 6000 forbidden troops on Jiangnan West Road, while there are only more than 4000 to less than [-] on Fujian Road. As for the Xiangbing soldiers, there are still some, but at this time the Xiangbing soldiers have long been reduced to engineering soldiers, and they have no combat power at all. .

Zhao Tong looked around silently, Yang Shicheng only brought out more than a thousand forbidden soldiers, but he found that although the armor and weapons of these local forbidden troops were not as good as those of the Tokyo forbidden army, they were quite energetic.

The Beijing Army is corrupt, and the Western Army is good at fighting, but Zhao Tun really doesn't know what the Southern Forbidden Army is like. Although there are many civil uprisings in the South, and most of the local Forbidden Army are invincible, this is not a reference for judging the real combat power. After all Sometimes it depends on the general's ability to fight.

It's like swapping the generals of the Western Army with the generals of the Tokyo Imperial Army, and the overall combat power of the Western Army will immediately rise to a higher level.

Zhao Tong entered the city, went to the banquet, and had a few talks with Yang Shicheng. He felt that this person was superficial and superficial, and that he was like an old man in the officialdom. After exchanging pleasantries on the second day, they left Xinzhou and went straight to Longhu Mountain.

At this time, the group of people had already seen the magnificent mountain from a distance, because this trip was Zhao Tun's "fulfillment of his wish" and there was no decree, so he did not notify the mountain in advance, and now he saw that it was not far ahead. Only then did Zhao Tang intend to order people to pay homage to the mountain gate first, but unexpectedly at this moment, a little Taoist priest appeared obliquely on the road in front of him.

Zhao Tang looked carefully, but saw that this little Taoist priest was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and bright and shrewd eyes, he couldn't help thinking to himself, it turned out to be a female crown, Xiao Kun said.
