In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 175
At the end of December in the 17th year of Jiading (1224), the imperial court decided that the first month of the first year of Baoqing would be the emperor's wedding.

Zhao Yurui was very happy, and made a suggestion to Shi Miyuan. One was that he hadn't played cuju for a long time. On the day of the emperor's wedding, he wanted to invite all the important civil and military officials in Beijing to the palace to watch cuju. Because in the future, as the emperor, he might not be able to play football anymore.

What Shi Miyuan heard at the time was that the emperor loved Cuju. Of course he had known it for a long time. He never thought that he would never forget it when he became the emperor. It was just the same as Huizong back then. After kicking, Shi Miyuan nodded in agreement.

When the emperor got married, all civil and military officials in the whole dynasty would go to the palace to congratulate him. It seemed good to add an extra item of watching football.

The wedding was originally scheduled for the 28th of the first month.

But a major event happened immediately after entering the first year of Baoqing.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial court was still preparing for the emperor's wedding, but Zhao Mian, who was imprisoned in Huzhou, sent Wang Chun to report the rebellion to the imperial court.

It turned out that at the end of last year, the local county captain Pan Ren, brothers Pan Bing and cousin Pan Fu were very indignant at Shi Miyuan's abolition of the establishment without authorization, so they contacted Li Quan in Shandong and planned to support Zhao Mian as emperor.

As a result, when the agreed date came, Li Quan was not seen.Pan Ren and others then organized a group of salt sellers and fishermen from Taihu Lake, entered Huzhou City in the middle of the night, embraced Zhao Mian into the state government office, put him in a yellow robe, and wanted to make him emperor.

Zhao Hong cried and refused, and finally made an appointment with them and said, "Can you not hurt the queen mother and the emperor?" Everyone agreed.So he took out the gold, silk and banknotes from the military treasury to reward the army, pretended to ask Li Quan to post a list at the city gate, and counted the crimes of abolishing the emperor, saying: "Now lead 20 elite soldiers, and attack Lin'an by land and water.

Xie Zhouqing, the magistrate of Huzhou, thought it was true, and immediately led officials to congratulate him.

But when Zhao Mian arrived at dawn, he saw that the scene was full of Taihu Lake fishermen and patrol soldiers, less than a hundred people in total.

No matter how stupid Zhao Mian was, he knew that this matter would not succeed, so he immediately turned his back on the water and sent Wang Yuanchun to tell the court.

When the news reached Lin'an, Shi Miyuan was shocked and angry.

At the same time, he also felt that some officials below were unreliable.

Zhao Mian proclaimed himself emperor, but Xie Zhouqing, the Zhizhou, brought officials to congratulate him?

The imperial court immediately dispatched the Dian Sizheng to attack Peng Ren, but when Peng Ren's troops arrived, the situation had subsided, and Peng Ren killed the Pan brothers.

Then Shi Miyuan didn't ask what the emperor Zhao Yurui meant, and directly issued an imperial decree in the name of the emperor, forcing Zhao Mian to hang himself in Zhouzhi.

On the 23rd of the first lunar month, the young Zhao Mian committed suicide in Huzhou.

Shi Miyuan killed Zhao Mian without hesitation, which further made Zhao Yurui feel the ferocity of Old Shi.

When Zhao Yurui is obedient, Lao Shi can treat him like his son. If Zhao Yurui is disobedient, he may end up exactly like Han Wuzhou and Zhao Mian. kill him.

Zhao Mian's farce ended in less than ten days, and the court continued to prepare for Zhao and Rui's marriage, which was still on the 28th of the first lunar month.
-
It was also during the Huzhou Incident on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

At Yanjia Port on the west side of Jeju Island, large ships are docking one after another.

After two or three years of construction on Jeju Island, West Port, as the main port of entry, is getting bigger and bigger, and now it can accommodate seven or eight large ships with more than [-] materials at the same time.

Early this morning, more than [-] large ships came from the direction of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then docked.

The first big ship is a five thousand ship, which looks brand new, it should be a newly built ship, it is very spectacular.

Bang, as the two springboards were connected to the shore, a tall young man with a dark complexion and a fierce expression jumped onto the shore first.

Quan Yong, the deputy general of the Zuo Army of the Imperial Army in Xinzhou Prefecture, is no longer the skinny boy he used to be.

After staying in the Xinzhou mine for more than two years, he got married and had children one after another. He looks very mature now, and due to years of self-discipline and training, Quan Yong is full of muscles, and he looks fierce and capable at first glance.

"Lieutenant General." A figure on Jeju Island also trotted over.

"Hahaha, Chen is going to general." Quan Yong stepped forward and hugged Chen Xiaodao heavily.

Chen Xiaodao was the first batch of teenagers trained by Zhao Yurui, and he has already married and had children, and his family is in Jeju.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they hugged each other affectionately.

Then he walked to the side, and saw waves of people on the [-] material boat going down the boat.

"This time there are [-] households, [-] people in total." Quan Yong said to Chen Xiaodao, "They all come from mines, all of them are mature and strong, and have received more than one year of training. They take up swords and guns, Put on your armor, fight a few more battles and see blood, and you will be an elite."

Chen Xiaodao himself was trained in the palace. Of course, he knew that the people trained in the palace had strict discipline, far surpassing any Song army troops.

"Including the previous batches, there are already [-] households in Xinzhou." Chen Xiaodao said: "This is the minimum number requested by His Majesty back then."

It turns out that in the past two years, Quan Yong has sent five thousand households here one after another.

"Each household has a strong man, how many are there, how many can we gather now?" Quan Yong asked.

"Commander Li (Li Pingxia) has 5000 troops in training, and the navy has [-]."

"It's almost ten thousand."

"It shouldn't take so much. This group of people should settle down first."

The two walked in while talking.

In the afternoon, among the [-] households that had just arrived, every adult and strong household was called to gather somewhere.

A group of 300 people.

When they arrived, they found that court civil and military officials were present.

These people didn't know what or where they were, and they felt strange when they saw the court officials.

At this time, someone suddenly took out something and sang loudly: "The imperial court has an order, His Majesty recruits elite soldiers - establish the emperor's personal guard, the emperor's personal army -"

When everyone heard it, it turned out that the emperor wanted to recruit troops from among them, and they all had strange expressions. Some people didn't really want to be soldiers, but they were well-trained in Xinzhou, so everyone didn't dare to say anything about it. , everyone stood up straight, not daring to move.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, soldiers were often forced to recruit, so the common people had great opinions, and some families would flee.

But now that this group of people has been trained and guarded by elite soldiers, of course they dare not raise any objections, so they can only listen first.

After listening for a while, many people's expressions relaxed again.

Here it is said that the imperial court should train elite cavalry, and they should be selected from Xinzhou miners first. The son of heaven is close to the army, and the treatment is favorable. (Because the Southern Song Dynasty used to determine the amount of military pay based on height, but now it is obvious that it is not based on height, as long as they pass the assessment, they are treated equally.)
It turned out that when they were in Xinzhou, each family played three times a month, and then there were rewards based on mining and other achievements.

Now recruited as the son of heaven's pro-army, each household is divided into five acres of land. In the first three years, the tax per mu is [-]%, and after three years, the tax per mu is [-]%.

Ordinary soldiers, five guan a month (two guan copper coins, the rest are clubs), and more officers. After the ten-year period expires, they can leave the barracks, and the land will not be recovered, and the tax per mu will return to [-]%.

The sons of all soldiers will be given priority in recruiting into the army in the future. If they participate in the imperial examination, the descendants of soldiers will get extra points. It is also said that in the future, the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty will be based on a [-]-point system. Add more points.

The sons and daughters of soldiers are willing to study and go to school, and the emperor pays for them to study for free.

The officials on the spot talked a lot, and only five guan monthly coins made people's eyes bright, because two of them were copper coins, and their income was nearly five times that of ordinary soldiers before the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the past, as a miner, the whole family’s monthly income was only three guan, but now the monthly income of one person is only five guan.

What's more, the price of land is so expensive now, and five acres of land are divided into tens or hundreds of guan.

With such a condition, most of the people on the scene are willing to join the army.

These people were selected from more than 5 miners in Xinzhou. At that time, they were fancy in the mine because they were more capable. After training, most of them did not reject being soldiers, not to mention the good conditions now.

In the end, after more than 300 households arrived on the island, less than [-] households were unwilling to serve as soldiers and chose to do other things.

At the same time, recruits were being prepared on the side of Xigang, and on the side of Renhe Port in Beigang, which was close to Koryo, ships from the Song Dynasty usually came over, because according to the requirements, the ships going to and from the Song Dynasty all departed from Xigang.

At this time, a large number of ships were queuing up at Beigang, and the ship that Quan Yong had just brought was also here.

He stood at the bow of the ship in shock, looking at the soldiers and horses approaching in the distance.

A row of soldiers wearing armor and holding horses are heading to the port to board the ship.

Although he has been to Jeju several times, he has never been to the island. This is the first time he has seen the elite soldiers trained by his cousin on the island.

Wow, wow, wow, except for Zha Jia's bright voice, there were almost no other noises.

Quan Yong had already felt the benefits of strict discipline in the training queue before, but after seeing the heavily armed army coupled with strict discipline, he was even more shocked.

The opposite is like a long steel dragon, mighty and mighty, all of them have bright armor and high spirits, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"The real girl is elite." Quan Yong couldn't help cursing when he saw the back.

"Not yet." Li Pingxia's voice came from behind: "They haven't officially been on the battlefield yet, and they have seen blood."

"You have to fight a few battles and see blood before you can be truly elite."

"Why do I feel invincible?" Quan Yong said with a smile: "With so many armors, my cousin has spent a lot of money."

Li Pingxia said proudly: "It's not too much. The production of Zhajia is relatively slow. This will only be less than [-], but this is already the strongest armor rate in our Song Dynasty. No Song army can compare."

"Let's go." Quan Yong finally waved his hands and shouted: "Take them to the capital to see the blood."

"I see blood." Li Pingxia also took a deep breath, feeling uncontrollably excited inside.

After following His Majesty for so many years, isn't it just waiting for now?

This time, Jeju mobilized more than 80 large and small ships, trained for more than a year with 1000 elite infantry battalions, [-] sailors, [-] horses, [-] artillery pieces, and headed to the capital. Army, plus more than [-] people just recruited are training.

In addition, the ship carried a thousand pairs of imitation Forbidden Army armor as a spare.

The huge fleet set off from Jeju and first went to the vicinity of Dinghai County. Feng Deshan, the Dinghai Admiral, brought [-] Dinghai Navy and [-] ships to join him.

A total of 7000 people from the two armies went straight to the capital from the sea.
