Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 123

Zhao Ji's face was cloudy and uncertain, he stared blankly at the imperial concubine pagoda ruins in the distance, feeling even more depressed in his heart.

This tower was originally called the Imperial Concubine Tower.It was built in the second year of Taiping Xingguo. At that time, Lin'an was not the territory of the Song Dynasty.

The imperial concubine tower was built by Qian Chu, the Zhongyi king of Wuyue at that time, to enshrine the Buddha's conch hair relics.

Less than a year later, the two Zhejiang and thirteen prefectures occupied by Qian Chuxian returned to the Song Dynasty.

Emperor Tai Zu was very happy, and made Qian Chu's wife, Sun, who had just passed away, the imperial concubine, and this pagoda was named the imperial concubine pagoda.

"Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of West Lake, and the peak of Lei Feng on Xizhao Mountain. The white snake stays on the south bank of the lake, who knows that the pagoda will be added for the concubine Huang?" Zhao Ji sighed.

Just like my current situation.

The Imperial Concubine Pagoda was built on the Xizhao Peak on the south bank of the West Lake. The folks named it after the place, so the name of this pagoda became Leifeng Pagoda.

No one knows the name of the imperial concubine tower anymore.

Standing in front of the cultural building, Zhao Huan looked at the place where the Imperial Concubine Pagoda collapsed, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Just like the name of this Leifeng Pagoda, he had just abdicated for more than a month, came to Lin'an, just rested his feet, and restored the government again in the old Wuyue palace in Lin'an, it can be said that he was not quick.

But what made him extremely annoyed was that the four chief ministers of Lianghuai ignored his orders.

He thought that when he returned to power, the emissaries and transfer envoys he supported would directly obey him.

However, he only got a response from the four envoys in the south of the Huaihe River, and only a dozen or so responded to the news of his return to power.

That's why he thought of this poem. The world only knows that Zhao Huan is the new emperor, and he has completely forgotten that he is the overlord.

Just like people in the north now only remember Zhao Huan's name and completely forget that he is the master of this dynasty.

Ascending a height and overlooking from a bird's-eye view, the water surface of the West Lake not far away is full of bright clouds and sparkling water.The lake is wide, imposing and distant, with rippling blue waves, and small boats shuttle back and forth.

There are countless buildings and pavilions in a row, and some towering pavilions are also among the trees, with glazed tile roofs exposed.

On the right side of the lake, crossing the broken bridge is a white background, looking to the right from the isolated mountain across the lake, there are many pavilions and waterside pavilions, arranged in an orderly manner, and behind them are hidden by mountains and forests.

The whole of Lin'an is quiet and peaceful, unfolding quietly like a picture scroll, but the wreckage of Leifeng Pagoda is an eyesore.

Leifeng Pagoda fell in the second year of Xuanhe.That was six years ago.

This brought back very bad memories for Zhao Ji. That year, the Jiangnan Dilong turned around.

There are hundreds of thousands of houses for bad officials and people, villages and forts are relocated, the ground is cracked and canals are formed, and the people are crushed to death.City towers, battlements, official houses, private houses, villages, and temples all collapsed like flat ground in an instant.

As soon as he saw the disaster report, Zhao Ji knew something big was going to happen.

Sure enough, Fang La rebelled in the lacquer garden under the pretext of obtaining the Tianfu ultimatum.

Within a few months, millions of people were drawn up, like locusts crossing the border, deterring the entire southeast.

Suhu is familiar with the world.

How much grain and grass does Bianjing get from Liangzhe Road, Huainan South Road, Jiangnan East Road, and Huainan West Road every year?How much tax can be obtained from this area?
The chaos on Liangzhe Road, Jiangnan East Road, and Huainan West Road scares him even more than the Liao Kingdom in the north.

He appointed Tong Guan as the lead minister, and urgently mobilized 15 soldiers from the Imperial Army of Gyeonggi, the Sixth Route of the Western Army, and [-] Han soldiers, and went south to suppress them.

That year, he sent Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zheng as envoys to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss the alliance at sea, and even Jin to destroy Liao.

He still remembers how high-spirited he was back then.

Thinking of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which even Tai Zu and Emperor Taizong could not regain, could be conquered immediately, I couldn't wait.

I misjudged the situation at the time and forgot the truth of the cold lips and teeth.

I should have fought Liao against Jin at that time, but in this world, is there anyone who sells regret medicine?
"Tong Guan, do you think I'm wrong?" Zhao Ji asked disappointedly, looking in the direction of Leifeng Pagoda. The brilliance of the setting sun, sprinkled on the lake, shimmered and looked really beautiful.

Tong Guan came out from the shadows and said: "Guan, although the weather in Lin'an is warmer than that in Bianjing, the westerly wind is still bitterly cold, so don't get caught by the wind when you climb up."

Tong Guan held a large cloak in his hand and put it on Zhao Ji. He didn't answer the Supreme Emperor's right or wrong questions.

How to answer?

Said that he had 40 soldiers in the five-way army, and the horse army alone had 1. He was beaten by more than [-] cavalry from Yelu Dashi?
Or do you accept the holy order yourself, and strictly order Zhong Shidao to lead the army to march peacefully, not to harass the place at will, and mainly to recruit and surrender?

Or to answer what the bullshit array map that the temple has calculated: If you dare to kill a man and a horse, follow the military law?

Such absurd temple calculations actually allowed him to take Xijing of the Liao Kingdom without killing people?

How about I give you the Tiger Talisman, so you can fight it?

Or is it that the sky is not beautiful?Sudden encounter with hail?
Or is it that the five armies restrain each other and do not rush to help each other?

Or is it that the Western Army just quelled the Song Jiang uprising, and then attacked Fang La, and the Western Army didn't even give them a chance to recuperate, and they traveled tens of thousands of miles without even a chance to catch their breath?

Or was he caught in the enemy's trick, believing that the Liao army charged three times, and was scared off by the small Liao army?

Or is it that less than [-]% of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty wore armor?Sergeant afraid of war?Soldiers morale low?
Or is it that after the war, in order to get back the Yanyun Sixteen States, they used their savings for several years to redeem the Yanyun Sixteen States, and gave the Jin State the Sui that was originally given to the Liao State, and added 100 million guan every year?
Or did Wu Min's family steal nearly 4000 million of their wealth?

He really didn't know where to start, so he simply didn't say it, he was too lazy to say it, it's not that he didn't persuade himself, the Supreme Emperor, but he just didn't listen.

"I asked you to bring the [-] victorious troops to Lin'an, why didn't you bring them?" Zhao Ji asked suddenly.

Tong Guan bowed his head and said: "The officials and the Jiesheng army are all on Qinfeng Road. These [-] strong and strong men were originally restrained by veterans, and the troops who actually obeyed orders were all commanders and envoys. They were all from the Western Army. Never actually controlled it."

"The old minister went to lead the army, but the commander of the army capital first got the emperor's order, and went to Jinzhong with the Zhongshi to support Taiyuan. Officials."

Tong Guan lowered his head, and there was a little smile on the corner of his mouth. He didn't go to the Jiesheng Army's barracks at all. He participated in the temple calculation of the new emperor in Wende Hall.

The new emperor's temple calculations are only based on strategy, and the specific campaign is entrusted to his ministers, and Datong Mansion and Yingzhou Yuguan are the two fulcrums of Yanyun Sixteen States, occupying these two places!

The Northern Territory of the Song Dynasty is absolutely safe and peaceful for a hundred years!

As for why laughing?
Tong Guan just laughed at himself, he is old, and the Supreme Emperor is also old, since the world is already the new emperor's, why don't you trust him boldly?

Why restore the government?

The edict of guilt has been issued, which of the officials and people in the world is still sincerely attached?The various roads of attachment now have a huge picture!
Zhao Ji's face was cloudy and uncertain. He never got any information about why the Jiesheng Army went north, and he could only listen to Tong Guan's family.

As far as the two of them have been together day and night for most of their lives, Zhao Ji knows that Tong Guan is not telling the truth, but does he have anyone he can use?

Hey.
