Chapter 619
For decades, the Great Jin Kingdom has dominated the territory, its moral destiny intends to inherit the Song Dynasty, and its military power is imitated from the Han and Tang Dynasties.Looking around, the Southern Dynasties, Xia Kingdom, and Goryeo are small countries, and the grassland tribes are the barbarians who sharpen their blades, and the billions of Han children under their rule are loyal slaves and wealth.

Such a big country will be turbulent for years and be slaughtered by powerful enemies. People with insight in the world will see it in their eyes and feel the omen of the coming chaos.When Zhongdu suddenly changed again, Guo Ning, the son of the Han Dynasty, controlled the court with tyrannical force. I don't know how many people rejoiced for it, and I don't know how many people lamented it day and night.

Guo Ning is not the only one who shoulders the expectations of many people, but feels as if he is facing an abyss and walking on thin ice.As the leader of a faction, Guo Ning is not the only one who has been stationed in the barracks for a long time and has become more and more based on the army.

April.

Jin Guo Nanjing, Kaifeng Mansion.

When the Song State occupied the Central Plains, this place was the capital of the Song State. It is said that there were millions of scholars and people, and it was extremely prosperous and magnificent.However, after the rise of Dajin, from the fourth year of Tianhui to the eighth year of Tianhui, he continued to fight with the Song army around Kaifeng. In the end, the land of Henan was completely lost, but Kaifeng still insisted, and the officials picked wild vegetables to eat, and stayed in the city. In the end, it changed hands, and the people in the city were less than [-], and the situation was almost barren.

Later, Dajin set up Xingtai Shangshu Province in Kaifeng to restore the city's vitality a little. As a result, a fire in the third year of Zhenyuan burned half of the city, and all the palaces left by the Song Dynasty were destroyed.

At that time, Hailing King Wan Yanliang was ambitious, intending to dominate the world and make Kaifeng his capital again.This situation greatly displeased him, so he ordered Feng Changning, who was left behind in Nanjing, and Zuo Ying, the transfer envoy of the capital, to be beaten to death with one hundred sticks each, and they were almost killed on the spot.Guo Anguo, the left-behind judge, Daliang Shun, the left-behind judge, and Nanjing soldiers and horses all made Wu Jun even more unlucky, with a staff of 150.There are more people who were accused and beheaded by the officials below because of the fire.

King Hailing immediately mobilized manpower and material resources to rebuild Kaifeng Mansion. The responsible officials were Liang Hanchen and Kong Yanzhou.It is said that Liang Hanchen was originally a servant of the Song Dynasty, and he wanted to use this to exhaust the national power of Dajin. Therefore, even if the cost of a palace was already too much, Liang Hanchen always said that it was not perfect, and immediately withdrew.

During the Zhenglong period, Prime Minister Zuo Zhang Hao built Zhongdu and continued to be responsible for the construction of Nanjing.His position is better than that of Liang Hanchen, and he has used more power.

King Hailing was eager to go south to destroy the Song Dynasty after completing the palace, so he raised the army, civilians, and craftsmen from all over the world.And transport the world's forests, flowers and stones to build palaces and terraces before. Although the rulers and columns do not exist, and the tiles are not used, they are replaced and new.As for the jue carved on the Danying, the carved walls are majestic, the wall mud is made of gold, and the pillars are made of jade. It is extremely gorgeous and indescribable.

It is impossible to calculate the specific expenses at that time. I only know that in order to build the palace, wood from east and Shaanxi was sent down the river, and the cost of transporting a tree was 2000 million yuan.Such wood, how many thousands or tens of thousands are used in the palace?
It's a pity that King Hailing was defeated and died very quickly. After Emperor Sejong ascended the throne, he didn't consider the matter of confusion, and he never stepped into the palace of Kaifeng Mansion in Nanjing in his life.

The city's most glorious time has passed.

When Sui Wang Wanyan Shouxu went south, because everything started from scratch and there was not enough money and materials, he really moved the idea of ​​the palace of Zhongdu.He completely demolished the old site of the Longde Palace of the Song Dynasty and the adjacent Xiefang and Xiejing Second Gardens, and connected the open space to the east as a military camp for his own training of the new army.

It is said that the open space to the east was originally the garrison of the Song Dynasty. The stationed was the first commander of the Imperial City Siqin and Yulongzhi, one of the squadrons.This is very flattering.

Wanyan Shouxu has been stationed in this barracks for the past few months.Especially when it was heard that the capital had changed suddenly, after Guo Ning took over the power outrageously, he did not send out a barracks for more than ten days.

On this day, Tian Zhuo, the transfer envoy of Henan Road, went to the barracks to ask for an interview.

At the entrance of the barracks, the gate was closed tightly, with antlers outside, and soldiers patrolling the watchtower above the wall, which was very strict.Before he approached, there were sentinels shouting and asking, Tian Zhuo hurriedly held up the token and announced his name, asking them to report to King Sui.

After a while, a small school came out, gave a military salute, and led Tian Zhuo into the school grounds to the east of the barracks.

When King Sui first took over Nanjing, he was very ambitious. He planned to organize and train tens of thousands of elite soldiers, first conquer Shandong, unify Guanshan, and then go north to support Zhongdu.Therefore, the scale of this school field is huge, enough to accommodate 3 to [-] people for training.

Now that I came in, I saw that the school grounds were unusually empty, and the voices of the training people quickly drifted away in the wind, so that nothing could be heard outside the barracks.

There are two to three thousand people who are training at the moment, most of them are holding wooden guns and wooden knives, following the officer's slogan to perform assassination and slashing movements.There are also some cavalrymen who are riding their horses back and forth, practicing their archery skills. They can see that there are a lot of arrows on the target next to the galloping road, and the hit rate is not bad.

On the high platform in front of the school grounds, Sui Wang Wanyan Shouxu was watching intently.Because of sitting for a long time, his body and face were covered with dusty dust. Although he was only 16 years old, he felt the kind of fatigue that middle-aged people have.

Tian Zhuo finished his ceremony, but Wanyan Shouxu was not in a hurry to chat with him.

After watching the training for a long time, he sighed and said: "This department is the newly established Jianwei Captain's Department. It was originally planned to have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it must be trained strictly to be strong and healthy. The old way of defending the military village of thousands of households."

"Your Highness is wise."

"However, the weather last year was not good, and this year it seems that there is still a severe drought. Fengqiu said that the fork of the Yellow River has been cut off, and all the water mills have been closed, so that they can barely increase the water to irrigate the fields and alleviate the disaster. Moreover, Zhongmu, Chenliu, Weishi and other places have already reported that locusts are infested. I managed to gather together and plan to fill in Jianwei Duwei's strong men, most of them were called by Mongolia Gang to cull the locusts!"

Speaking of this, Wanyan Shouxu grinned: "I only left 2000 people for me! 2000 people, what can I do?"

He said to Tian Zhuo dumbfounded: "Qi Zhi, have you read the military report? After Guo Ning entered the Central Capital, he proclaimed himself the Marshal of the Capital, and immediately set up Jiedu envoys and soldiers in Hebei, Shandong, Zhongdu, and Liaodong. Chief Madu. Every Jiedu envoy has at least [-] elite soldiers under his command, and those six Jiedu envoys have [-] elite soldiers!"

"more than."

"what?"

"The six Jiedu envoys appointed by Guo Ning do not include Wang Shixian and Qiu Huiluo, the two general managers of his direct line. Those two men are the main force following Guo Ning to the north. Once the rest is over, there will be no Less than 2 people." Tian Zhuo stretched out a finger.

"In addition, Guo Ning has also gathered [-] troops from the original Beijing Road, just waiting for the follow-up training. Yin Chang, the Xingde Army Jiedu envoy he placed in Jinan Prefecture, also has strength in his hands." Tian Zhuo stretched out another finger .

"Then after Guo Ning became Marshal of the capital, he still served as the governor of the Dinghai Navy. That is his old foundation in Laizhou, a true veteran of all battles. Even if we don't want to expand, there will be no fewer than [-] people. "Tian Zhuo stretched out another finger.

"Also, Guo Ning is very powerful in Liaodong, including Liaodong Xuanfu envoys and other officials, who are all attached to him, and the local Huligai, Khitan, Koryo, Bohai and other ministries also serve him. Listen. It is said that when they fought in Mongolia, they gathered tens of thousands of warriors from various tribes in just a few days." Tian Zhuo stretched out another finger.

Four fingers shook in front of King Sui, and King Sui lost even the energy to sigh.

Tian Zhuo originally wanted to stretch out his fifth finger to talk about the strength of the navy's navy, but seeing King Sui's expression, he finally didn't say anything.

On that day, King Sui brought some of his cronies to the south, which in itself was a political trick of Dan Yi, and Guo Ning also cooperated with it.Those who followed King Sui to the south were all outstanding men whom Du Shanyi was optimistic about; most of them had seen the ferocity of Guo Ning's troops as early as the last Hu Shahu coup.

Later, when King Sui entered Kaifeng, Tian Zhuo and others had been paying attention to the trend of Guoning in Shandong. Especially since last year, the expansion of the Ding Navy was like a raging tide. It first took Liaodong, and then took advantage of King Sui's troops to fight with Yang An'er, and captured the entire Shandong. East Road, and then without stopping, broke through Mongolia and entered Zhongdu.

The speed of this rise was as fast as lightning, and its powerful force made King Sui and the officials around him extremely horrified.Therefore, in the past few months, Tian Zhuo sent many spies to closely inquire about the movements of Zhongdu, and even sent someone to copy every document that was made public by the Shandong side, and carefully figured it out.

Speaking of his understanding of Dinghai, Tian Zhuo is probably the most complete one in Kaifeng's mansion. Even since last year, he has enforced the garrison of land, and there are many places that imitate Dinghai's policy.Now that the situation has reached this point, Tian Zhuo hopes that the grassroots civil and military forces in the Kaifeng mansion will not be shaken, and the core figures including King Sui must at least understand what kind of opponent they are facing.

After all, King Sui was young, so he was frightened when he heard of such a huge force.

He hesitated for a while, then asked: "The rapidity of Guo Ning's rise and the valor with which he led his troops are really rare since ancient times. Now that he has a territory, soldiers and horses, and a position of power, the people who are attached to him Countless people have it too. Qi Zhi, in your opinion, what will happen to the Great Jin Kingdom?"

The young man stretched out his hand, took Tian Zhuo's arm and shook it, earnestly said: "You tell the truth, okay?"
