I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 192

"Officials, since then, all the armies have camped for more than [-] miles to the north... Everything is going well, and there is no harassment from the Li bandits."

"This time we have a lot of momentum, and even if there is no way to transport troops, Bozhou can still be obtained."

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, the old minister has fought battles all his life, and he has never had such a moment of peace of mind. Thanks to His Majesty's proper command and strategizing, the King of the Song Dynasty was able to win consecutive battles."

"It won't be long before we can completely drive the Jin people out of the Central Plains. Maybe it will be like what Yue Pengju said back then. It's not a bad idea to come straight to the Huanglong Mansion."

"The food collected in the court is still sent to Yingzhou... After all, Yingzhou is located on the left and Yue Fei is on the right. As for Liu Xinshu, he has arrived in Xiangcheng a few days ago. The Jin people's garrison is actually weaker, and when the truth is found out, he will go straight to Chenzhou; Yue Pengju has already retreated from Zhengzhou to Xuzhou, and we only need to send a letter from our side. So the three armies go north together, and the recovery of Kaifeng Mansion is already within reach."

This city father county is not only smaller than Shouzhou, but even Linhuan is much smaller. In addition, it has been attacked several times by Zhao Mi and Yang Yizhong. Now it is dilapidated. What's the matter, after entering the city, everyone discovered that even the city wall on the north side of this place has collapsed, leaving a big gap.

When I asked, I found out that all the bricks and stones of the city wall were used to block the south side, and even the houses of the Chengfu county government were demolished to build fortifications.

For example, the only difference between this place and the deserted Sizhou is that there is no one in Sizhou within a radius of [-] miles, no matter whether it is Jin Kingdom or Song Kingdom, there is no common people there; but the father of the city still stays here. Quite a few people... It's hard to tell whether they are Song people or Jin people. If they are Jin people, they all wear Hanfu with the right lapel, and they all speak Chinese.

If it is Song people, they are clearly resisting the army of Song with their lives... Yes, they are indeed resisting with their lives. It is not because these four 500 people are fighting against the 10,000+ army, but These people can't even make up a pair of armor. Apart from dozens of machetes, most of them are carrying,

stick.

What's more, when Liu Bang entered the city, he looked at a group of old men who were being escorted to kneel on the ground... These people are so old that ten people can't make up a complete set of teeth, but even so, their In his eyes, he was completely fearless. As a human being in two lifetimes, he has seen countless dead people, so he can tell the difference naturally. The words 'seeing death as home' cannot be pretended.

When he saw these old men, Liu Bang, who was an official of the Song Dynasty, had thought a lot about what to say, asked a lot of questions, and was even ready to kill many people, but when he really entered the city, he He didn't even want to say anything anymore, and at this time he took people to settle down in the only complete building in the father of the city...Wu Yuan Zhuang.

This is the old house and tomb of Wu Zixu's family. Compared with Wu Zixu's not-so-perfect death method, this place is quite decent. A garden that is three miles long seems out of place in the dilapidated city of Chengfu County. The owner didn't know where he fled, but left such a good place to rest.

At this time, the emperor was sitting by the pond in the yard, on a stone bridge, and let everyone talk in their ears. He just looked at the little bug floating on the pond, and was a little dazed.

Everyone knows the reason for the official's depression, and it's not that they haven't thought of a way, but those people are more stubborn than the other... Yes, they can all come here to defend the city, they are no different from the dead If you are not afraid of death, how can you be afraid of threats?

"Xin Ciying..."

I don't know how long it took, from noon to evening, Zhao Guan's family finally spoke the first sentence, which instantly cheered up the drowsy people, and the living room person whose name was called was lifted up, and quickly He stepped forward and replied:
"The minister is here."

Liu Bang originally came from the bottom, but he knows what kind of thinking the bottom people have. Mencius said, "The people are more important than the emperor," Xunzi said, "The water carries the boat, and the water capsizes the boat." Cui Ding said, "The country is based on the people." As the root, the people take the grain as their life.If the life is exhausted, the roots will be uprooted, and the roots will be uprooted." Even he himself knows that without the people of Sanqin, even if he enters the pass, he will have to shed a layer of skin, let alone compete for the world. Later, the three chapters of the agreement For what, it is not a popular opinion!
Although the people in Yingzhou complained about Liu Kai, their hearts were still toward the Song Dynasty, but this Bozhou was different, at least the 500 people guarding the city were different. They were coerced by Li Qiong to come to the north, but in any case, they had given their own answers with practical actions.

"Do all people's hearts go to Song Dynasty?"

Hearing the emperor's question, the people in the living room were shocked. The people standing here, even Yang Yizhong, might not necessarily have a better relationship than the official family and himself. At this time, he asked himself a question, asking It's still this kind of words, which shows that Zhao Guan's family is really a little confused.

Sighing slightly, Xin Ciying didn't answer his question directly, but asked him back:
"Your Majesty, what is a Han?"

Liu Bang asked others this question in the past, and later came up with his own answer. At this time, Xin Ciying mentioned this, just to remind the emperor:
As you said yourself, those who feel that they are Han are Han Chinese, and those who feel that they are not Han, no matter how similar they look and how pure their blood is, they are not.

Since these people helped Li Qiong to resist the Song Dynasty's army, they naturally didn't regard themselves as Han Chinese, and since they were not Han Chinese, did it matter what their intentions were?

Liu Bang followed him and sighed: "Is this really the case?"

Xin Ciying suddenly felt that something was wrong, and raised his head suddenly, but saw that the official's expression was normal, and there was a bit of compassion in his eyes... Could it be that he was thinking too much?

But if not, how could the officials answer so quickly?

The old man gritted his teeth, thinking that it wasn't the first time he was tricked by his own emperor anyway, so he forced himself to answer:

"It was supposed to be like this... We have just arrived in the Central Plains, and we met these people who betrayed our ancestors, but if we go north to Kaifeng Mansion, the Land of Nether Clouds, or Shangjing in the future, the people there will also be like these people In general, what should an official do?!"

"Since His Majesty has said before that everyone except Jurchen thinks they can live, then these people... shouldn't, shouldn't be an exception."

He almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last few words. After all, four or five hundred Han people pointed their knives at their own people. It was he who made the opinions, and the words came out of his mouth. He often said How can there be no pressure in my heart now that I have reported to the country to be safe and happy.

But compared to the lives of these 500 people, the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty are more important.

Liu Bang did not make a decision immediately, but asked again:
"Is there a possibility that we treat these people well, let them know that Da Song is good, know that I am good...how Li Qiong treated them, we will treat them ten times and a hundred times, and give others who are like them Let’s make a sample of the people who want money for money and food for food, status for status and preferential treatment for preferential treatment, how about this method?”

As soon as he said this, Xin Ciying hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Zhang Taiwei, who was beside him, suddenly became agitated, and quickly stopped him:

"Absolutely not!"

"Oh?" Liu Bang looked at the old man who had always been far-fetched, "Why not?"

Zhang Taiwei couldn't explain so many big reasons, he just scratched his head and said while thinking:
"Officials, do you still remember Yang Yao's rebellion in Jingxiang?"

The example he gave made Xin Ciying look a little surprised. After all, in the mind of the living, what was the first thing that popped out of his mind: "How to repay virtue with virtue" and "The people don't worry about the few, but about the inequality." If people come out and let people see that these people who are against Da Song are not only not punished, but become masters instead, what will those ordinary people who are law-abiding think?
No matter how magnanimous a person is, under such kind treatment, there will be a feeling of ignorance!

But what Zhang Taiwei said is much more interesting. In the Song Dynasty, there were countless examples of common people's uprisings. Apart from the difficulty of living, there was another main reason, which was the imperial court's policy of recruiting security.

That is, if the common people in a certain place are dissatisfied with the rule of the past, they will gather a crowd to make troubles and attack the local court institutions. Go to the local Xiang army.

The people rebelled, then the court appeases them, and then they are included in the Xiang army. In such a link, the imperial court needs money to appease the Xiang army, and the Xiang army needs military expenses and military pay. There are only three steps, but there are two more places to make money.

So in the end, it turned out that some local officials deliberately magnified the matter. The matter of three people would be said to be three hundred, and the matter of three hundred people would like to be said to be 3. As for the matter of [-] people... that is Yang Yao.

Yang Yao accepted the recruitment until he rebelled, and then rebelled after accepting the recruitment. This cycle happened three times. After each time, his troops became stronger, and the court needed more money and food. In the end, he actually wanted to dispatch Song Only the country's elite and Yue Fei's direct line troops can fight the rebellion.

Zhang Jun doesn't understand anything else, but he remembers this matter clearly. For him, thieves deserve to die, and they shouldn't talk to them. Those who dare to rebel should just send troops to pacify them. How can there be so many talkers? !

After Yang Yao passed away, the number of people who rebelled became less and less. Firstly, the sea transportation to the east became more and more powerful, and everyone was well fed. , After all, he can still survive; secondly, he also discovered that Da Song is not only recruiting for security or recruiting for security, he can also beat and kill.

Sure enough, after Liu Bang listened to Zhang Taiwei's reasoning, he thought about it carefully, and he didn't say any more words of favor. Finally wiped away the tears:

"They are all my people, I...how can I bear it!"

The sadness of the cry is really my pity.

Xin Ciying was now more and more sure that the emperor was using a knife to kill people, and now it was the time when the arrow was on the line, the old man was very stubborn, he cast his eyes on Yang Yizhong, and pulled him aside.

"Your brother Yang Cunzhong, it's time to go!"

Yang Dushi replied blankly: "That's brother."

Xin Ciying was annoyed that he couldn't grasp the main point: "Brother is brother, how did you kill the civil servants that day, and today you took the blame, don't make it difficult for the officials!"

Yang Dushi looked at the living room: "You are clearly the one who is responsible, why did you find me?"

It wasn't until this time that Xin Ciying realized that this person wasn't just a piece of wood.

At this time, he changed his tone, half threatening and half flattering:

"If the officials can't get down the steps, these people's lives will be spared... How can this battle continue when we reach the north!"

"You don't recite it, and I don't recite it either. Anyway, my surname is not Yang, and I don't have the reputation of the general of the Yang family!"

It was also the first time Yang Yizhong discovered that the old man was not as straightforward as he appeared on the surface.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded his head, accepting the matter.
