Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 50 The sudden change in Kaifeng City
If it is true as Yue Fei said, Princess Dongming can properly arrange the 10,000+ troops for his family and help him realize his ambitions, so what if he becomes her private soldier?

His heart was moved, but Wang Shan did not agree immediately. He only said that he would give an answer after discussing with his subordinates, and ordered someone to arrange accommodation for them.

"The princess and General Yue can rest at Guiyi temporarily. When there is any news, the princess will be informed."

However, his kindness was immediately rejected by Zhao Yingluo, "I don't care, General Wang. We are used to sleeping in the open air, so it is better to rest in the camp outside the city."

Zhao Yingluo rejected him for a reason. If Wang Shan lived in the city, it would be too easy for Wang Shan to do harm to them.

But if you live outside the city, it's different.

Although more than half of the escort team following Zhao Yingluo escorted the gold and silver treasures and horses obtained from Zhongshan Mansion back to Kaifeng, there were still three hundred musketeers and two hundred cavalry!If something happens, breaking out to save one's life is not a problem.

After Wang Shan sent Zhao Yingluo away, he sat back with a heavy heart and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Liu Yue paused and then said, "If the general is hesitant, you can write to Wang Zaixing and see his judgment on this matter. Maybe you will have the answer."

Wang Shan nodded. Based on his lifelong friendship with Wang Zaixing, he probably wouldn't lie to him.

The next day, several fast horses filed out of Pingyang and headed towards Kaifeng City. At the same time, Zhao Yingluo also received news from Wang Shan, asking her to wait patiently for a few days.

Zhao Yingluo, who was rarely leisurely, spent the past few days wandering around. Five days later, it was snowing heavily in Pingyang Mansion, and she suddenly came up with the idea of ​​hiking in the snow.

So he took Yue Fei with him and went to a hill forty miles outside the city. The hill itself was not high, but because it was surrounded by flat land, it had the grandeur of "climbing Mount Tai and minimizing the world".

After all, Zhao Yingluo is engaged in agriculture, so her physical fitness is naturally not bad. It won’t take an hour to climb such a hill!
When they climbed to the top of the mountain, the snow fell harder and harder, and the entire Pingyang Mansion was shrouded in a hazy snow mist.

The arrogant Zhao Yingluo suddenly thought of the poem she knew by heart, and couldn't help but chant it, with only slight changes.

Northland scenery
thousands of miles frozen
Thousands of miles of snow
Looking inside and outside the mountains and rivers

……

Cherish the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, slightly losing their literary talent
...all gone, counting the famous figures

还 看 今朝
Her chanting suddenly suppressed Yue Fei's pride.

"What a 'number of romantic figures, but also look at the present'! I only knew that the princess was good at farming, but I didn't expect that the princess was so talented in literature! It's not like a woman can be so arrogant, even a man can't match it."

Zhao Yingluo smiled, literary talent?She just borrowed the light of future generations, "The general is too praised! I'm really just a farmer."

But Yue Feixin?Of course I don’t believe it!He felt a little emotional. If she were the royal family of the Song Dynasty, if she were a man, he would definitely surrender to her without hesitation.

He had given up hope on Lin'an.

However, this is only if.

……

Ten days later, there was finally news from Wang Shan.

This time, Wang Shan summoned twelve senior generals and directly invited Zhao Yingluo to the main seat in the center. After Zhao Yingluo sat down, he personally led the 12 people to bow down.

"At the end of the day, I hope that the princess will act accordingly, drive away the golden thieves, and work together to achieve a great cause!"

Zhao Yingluo quickly stood up and helped him up, "From now on, everyone will be prosperous!"

...After recruiting Wang Shan to surrender, Zhao Yingluo did not order him to immediately pull 12 people to Kaifeng, but ordered him to divide his troops into two places.

The old, weak, women and children of these people went with her to Kaifeng along with 5 horses, and the remaining 7 horses stayed at Pingyang Prefecture to prevent the Jin from going south through Taiyuan Prefecture and threatening Kaifeng's left wing.

Of course, Zhao Yingluo was not stingy with the supply of these 7 horses. Not only did he promise to arm a 5000-man cavalry force within one year, but he also agreed to form a 1000-man musketry team.

Such a promise made Yue Fei jealous!He instantly felt that the two horses and the 500-man fire rifle team were no longer good.

But he was relieved in an instant. Who said that Wang Shan's army was her own private army?
【Kaifeng City】

There is strength in the number of people. After three months of construction, the small town in the north of Kaifeng has taken shape. A three-foot-five city wall has risen from the ground. The streets in the city are straight and uniform. Buildings with different functions have filled the space. The whole city was filled.

Not only that, even the greening is very good, with rockeries, lakes and rivers all available.

Under the setting sun, the green smoke wafting from the buildings made the city look full of fireworks.

Zhao Yingluo marched first with Wang Shan and ten thousand people. After five days of trekking, she finally returned to Kaifeng again.

After learning the news, Jiang Laosi, Wang Zaixing, Feng Jing and others took the whole city out of the city early to greet them. The crowds were scattered on both sides of the avenue, stretching for several miles.

What surprised Wang Shan the most was that after these people saw Zhao Yingluo, they all knelt down and worshiped, and shouted, "Welcome the princess back to the city!"

This kind of scene and this kind of treatment can only be experienced by the emperor of the Song Dynasty!But she enjoyed it, which was enough to prove that his choice was right.

"This... this... this city was really planned and designed by the princess herself? It has reached such a scale in less than a few months!"

Wang Shan was riding a horse and looking at the brand new city gate in front of him, he was amazed!

Zhao Yingluo smiled calmly, "General, let's go to the city and have a look."

After crossing the city gate and entering the city, he was greeted by the wide brick streets and brand-new buildings lined up on both sides, as well as the bustling stalls of all kinds on both sides of the street, which completely refreshed his perspective.

No wonder!Wang Zaixing will try his best to persuade him to choose to be her private soldier. With such favorable living conditions and such good treatment, who can refuse to agree?

After Zhao Yingluo took him on a brief tour of the main streets, she ordered Feng Jing to arrange accommodation for him. As for the [-] troops, they were arranged together in the left-wing camp outside the town.

Of course, those old, young, women and children will be placed in places with better living conditions.

After a few days of hard work, Zhao Yingluo planned to rest at the mansion in this small town. Unexpectedly, just after returning to the mansion, the housekeeper Zhou Wang came.

"Princess Princess, Lord Li Gang has come to the mansion."

Zhao Yingluo frowned slightly, why was he here so late at night?Could it be that something major happened in Kaifeng City during this period?
Among the three old men, Li Gang had the most unfamiliar relationship with her. Why wasn't it Lu Haowen or Zong Ze, but Li Gang?

Her intuition told her that something must have happened to Kaifeng City.

"Let's go! Go back to Kaifeng City." Zhao Yingluo immediately stood up and led a dozen people towards Kaifeng City!

At this time, the gates of Kaifeng City were closed and ordinary people could not pass, but Zhao Yingluo was the princess and would not be restricted.

After arriving at the mansion, she saw Li Gang with a serious face.

After Li Gang saw Zhao Yingluo, he said with some urgency, "The old general and Mr. Lu were summoned to Lin'an and then imprisoned!"
