The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Li Gang's estimate was still too long.

Just two months later, the people in major cities throughout the Song Dynasty were in an uproar.

Countless people spontaneously signed up to join the army.

Even many bandits wanted by the imperial court tentatively offered their allegiance, hoping the court would grant them amnesty.

They also wanted to fight the Jin Dynasty!

During these two months, apart from the first half of the month when the court was relatively relaxed, in the last month and a half, Li Gang, who was temporarily acting as the Minister of War, was almost driven crazy by his subordinates!

Flying papers were constantly falling onto his desk like snowflakes.

He was absolutely right.

That great victory outside Bianjing was enough to restore most of the people's confidence in the imperial court!

Moreover, the one sitting on the throne now is not Zhao Ji, who has disappointed them time and time again, but Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin!

Two hundred thousand troops?

Emperor Taizu somewhat underestimated his standing in the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty.

After confiscating the homes of former pro-peace officials, the Song Dynasty had no shortage of military funds.

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin directly elevated the status and treatment of military officers.

Whether they came for the country, for wealth, or for official positions, they all shared the same goal.

Win the battle!

At this moment, even through the sky, you can feel those four words.

United in hatred against the enemy!

That battle may not have truly made the people of the Song Dynasty stand tall, but at least it made them dare to face the Jurchens and dare to wash away their shame with their own hands!

Apart from those left to guard Bianjing and those needed to escort grain supplies, 300,000 troops were ready!

Standing outside the city, looking at the army in full armor before him, Yue Fei's eyes filled with tears.

He had never seen such a shocking scene before.

Everywhere we look, there are soldiers; let us unite against a common enemy!

Compared to his past struggles and the occasional presence of people holding him back, things are completely different now!

Reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun!

No, that alone is not enough to repay the people's trust in the court!

The humiliation of Jingkang, brought by Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong, was not something Wanyan Zongwang could repay!

Only by completely destroying the Jin Dynasty can this humiliation be truly washed away!

With such support and trust from the people, if he still cannot defeat the Jin dynasty, he will truly have no face to face the elders of the Song dynasty!

"Three hundred thousand troops, the logistical pressure is not small."

"Your Majesty, even if we exhaust the national treasury, we can only sustain this for a year at most."

Li Gang, on the contrary, was somewhat at a loss.

With more troops, the burden also becomes enormous.

The imperial court could barely afford the annual military expenses of an army of 200,000 men, with the national treasury and the proceeds from previous confiscations.

But now it has suddenly increased by half.

One year was already the limit Li Gang had estimated.

If Zhao Kuangyin and Yue Fei cannot achieve any results within this year, the army will collapse without a fight.

If the Jurchens seize the opportunity presented by logistical problems, it could actually be dangerous!

"More than enough for a year!"

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand.

"One year from now, I will hold a victory celebration banquet for you all in Zhongdu, the capital of the Jin Kingdom!"

"From this day forward, I will make everyone know that the majesty of my Great Song Dynasty is inviolable!"

The might of the Great Song Dynasty is inviolable?

Outside the sky, Li Er smiled inexplicably.

Isn't this how it should be?

Which nomadic steppe nation would dare to offend the might of the mighty Han Dynasty?

Who would dare to challenge the might of the Tang Dynasty?

Oh, yes!

Jieli Khan.

However, he has now transformed into the King of Dance of the Tang Dynasty.

After him, no one dared to provoke the might of the Tang Dynasty!

That is, the Song Dynasty.

After being bullied by the Liao Dynasty, they were bullied by the Jin Dynasty, and after being bullied by the Jin Dynasty, they were bullied by the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

I'm either feeling frustrated, or on my way to feeling frustrated.

It is probably for this reason that the people of the Song Dynasty went to such lengths when they saw the prospect of washing away such a humiliation.

Within two months, the army suddenly surged by 300,000.

Such terrifying speed would leave anyone speechless!

What kind of good person could recruit 300,000 soldiers in just two months!

"Sometimes you can't argue with it. A dynasty like your Tang Dynasty might not be able to achieve such a united front against a common enemy."

Only those who have lived in shame know how desirable the opportunity to wash away shame is!

Old Zhu had experienced that before.

He also had enemies in the past. The main reason why he was more popular than Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang was that he had the ambition to destroy the Mongol Yuan Dynasty!

He raised an army with the goal of destroying the Mongol Yuan dynasty, unlike Chen Youliang who was content with simply being a warlord.

Therefore, he has always been the one who has more popular support.

Only those born in the Central Plains during the Mongol Yuan Dynasty truly knew just how low the status of ordinary people in the Central Plains was under Mongol rule.

The lives of ordinary people are not even as important as those of cattle and horses!

Old Zhu was born in that era, so he was naturally well aware of the humiliations of that time.

It can be said that if he hadn't risen up and overthrown the rule of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, the status of the people in the Central Plains would be even lower than that of the Song Dynasty!

"Shared hatred against a common enemy? Our Great Tang Dynasty also had it, but it ceased after Khagan Jieli was captured and brought to Chang'an."

Old Zhu: “…”

I almost forgot, you, Li Er, also have the Treaty of Wei River.

However, the revenge came so quickly that he had overlooked it all along.

"Does every dynasty have to go through something like this before it finally wakes up?"

Old Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

"Not necessarily. It's possible that they might not realize this, just like the Song Dynasty. If it weren't for the help of immortals, the Northern Song Dynasty would have already been destroyed, and the Southern Song Dynasty probably wouldn't be much better off."

Under the sky.

I saw Li Er's last words.

A chill ran down everyone's spine.

If it weren't for the immortals using such methods, everything would have proceeded according to the original trajectory.

The Northern Song Dynasty would fall to the Jurchens, while the Southern Song Dynasty would fall to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

The next time the people of the Central Plains will truly be able to stand up will probably be when the Ming Dynasty, founded by Zhu Yuanzhang, is established.

Are these supernatural methods meant to make up for the regrets of certain dynasties?

It seems that way now.

"Since the immortals are here to make up for the regrets of the great dynasties, we must not let them down."

"Zhao Heizi, let's see just how far you can go!"

Old Zhu's gaze became more serious.

Anyone who squanders the immortal's opportunity will be despised by everyone!

Inside the sky.

Zhao Kuangyin led an army of 200,000 men with unparalleled force, directly threatening the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun.

The remaining 100,000 men were led by Yue Fei.

The sky has not yet been divided into multiple images, which means that the 100,000 men led by Yue Fei have not yet played their role.

This arrangement also indirectly confirms Lao Zhu's earlier speculation.

If Zhao Kuangyin's goal was merely the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, then he would not have needed to divide his forces.

With 300,000 troops sweeping across, the Jin army, suffering heavy losses, had no chance of holding out!

Therefore, the 100,000 troops that Yue Fei dispatched were very likely headed towards Zhongdu, the capital of the Jurchens!
