At Fancheng Wharf, a group of merchants dressed in a group of merchants stood on the dike street, looking at the heads hanging high on a row of wooden poles. A man with a straight knife in a military uniform and a Xiangzhou accent stood under the row of wooden poles with heads hanging on him, and said with a throat: "See? This is the end of opposing the Supreme Emperor! Whoever dares to oppose the Supreme Emperor's investigation of the land will be killed without mercy!"

There were also many passing merchants on the pier. When they saw the heads and the evil soldiers of Xiangzhou, they all sighed, and no one dared to say anything more.

The leader of a group of merchants was Chen Go from the east of Guanzhong. He looked at the scene in front of him with a frown slightly and said nothing.

He walked around Guanzhong and saw all the tyranny of forcing people to take over the land, which was even better than that of Fan Zhou. So he found the son of Wang Xiucai, who had sacrificed his life for no reason during the protests in Dawei Village, Xianyang, and left Wuguan together and walked to Xiangyang on the Shangluo Ancient Road.

Now that the end of the year has passed, he has arrived in Fancheng and is about to cross the Han River to Xiangyang, but he doesn't expect that he can see the scene of rolling people on the dock.

Before he could inquire, a soldier guarding the head of Xiangzhou gave an explanation on the spot.

These people who were cut off their heads were of course the "sectarian thieves" in the Jianghan area. They were called "thieves", but in fact they were the local rich men who fought with the Xiangzhou soldiers who were fighting with the Supreme Emperor in order to defend their own land. Of course, they could not defeat Yue Fei, how powerful Yue Fei is!

From October of the 6th year of Xuanhe to the present, all the civil unrest that occurred on the Jianghan Plain were completely suppressed by the Yue family army!

After experiencing the benefits of the Supreme Emperor's knife, many Jingchu clans who knew the current affairs had chosen to surrender, either hand over the land (they handed over the hidden field) in exchange for the "fixion" of Jinghu South Road, or arrange a large number of children to join the army and become Zhao Ji's soldiers.

Of course, Zhao Ji's "land reform" implemented in Jianghan was not as fierce as Guanzhong. Because Zhao Ji's military households waiting for land were only 70,000, and 10 million acres were enough to resettle.

Therefore, in principle, Jianghan only attacks the hidden land and gives the strong clans who are willing to cooperate with it a little bit of benefit from the territory of Jinghu South Road.

"Encyclopedia, let's not go to Xiangyang?"

After boarding the guest boat that was going downstream, a young man following Chen Go asked in a low voice.

The boy is only 13 years old, but he is surprisingly burly and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and bright eyes. His face is always calm with a Chinese character, as if he is holding a sense of resentment.

He is Wang Zhongfu, the son of Wang Xiucai, whose courtesy name is Yunqing.

When his father was arrested and taken, he was studying in a college in Xianyang, so he escaped. Later, he hid in the home of his original client until he was found by Chen Gou.

Chen Gou found that this child Yunwen and Wu was not only familiar with Confucian classics, but also had excellent martial arts skills at a young age. His efforts were first-class and he was also very good at fencing. So he took him as his adopted son and took him with him.

"I won't go to Xiangyang anymore." Chen Gou stroked his beard, "First go to the hometown of Yongzhou's adopted father, and then go to Jiangnan. Maybe Jiangnan will be better, right?"

"Will Jiangnan really be good?" The young Wang Zhongfu expressed doubts.

Maybe not! The Eastern Song Dynasty, which entrenched in Jiangnan, was originally a country of industry and commerce similar to the violent Zhou Dynasty. The rationalist camp behind the treacherous prime minister Ji Yi was also in Jiangnan.

Zhao Kai obviously came to power with the support of rationalists and Southeast merchants. How could such a businessman regime give preferential treatment to the literati?

"Let's go and have a look." Chen Go sighed, "If it really doesn't work, we can avoid disasters from Jiaozhi... Jiaozhi Kingdom is always a paradise, right?"

"Jiaozhi Kingdom?" Wang Zhongfu shook his head, "Are you really going to Jiaozhi Kingdom?"

"Let's see!"

...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the first month of the Jingkang year of the Song Dynasty.

Because Zhao Huan ascended the throne one year earlier than in history, the Jingkang reign also appeared one year earlier. After seven years of Xuanhe, the 1125th year of the AD became the first year of Jingkang.

But Jingkang's shame probably won't happen!

Because during the Xuanhe and Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers attacked the commander of Song twice, Wanyan Xie, the creator of the Jingkang shame, was taking the Jin Dynasty He Zhengdan mission, and honestly waiting for the long-lasting dance ceremony to Zhao Huan, the official of the Song Dynasty, outside the simple and simple Chang'an Palace.

As for the Jin soldiers who went south to capture Zhao Huan to the northern country as prisoners, Xi never dared to imagine it in his dreams.

His Jin Kingdom now has the Zhou Dynasty in the east, the Liang Dynasty in the west, and the Xi Dynasty in the north. Only by relying on the Western Song Dynasty in the south can we survive.

Going south to destroy Song? Why?

Although the Western Song Dynasty could not defeat the violent Zhou Dynasty, it lasted for more than a year in the battle between Song and Zhou Dynasty. It was defeated after the Zhou State mobilized a million troops.

Even if they were defeated, the Western Song Dynasty still firmly guarded the two fortresses of Luoyang and Nanyang on the battlefield of the Central Plains!

Moreover, the Song army retreated to Guanzhong still looked very strong and had a high morale, and did not look like they would soon destroy their country.

In addition, the Great Jin Kingdom also received news that Zhangli of Xiliang and Gao Yaokang of Lingzhou both expressed his respect for Chang'an.

Zhang Li sent his eldest son Zhang Cong to the court, while Gao Yaokang entered the court himself. Moreover, Zhang and Gao also paid 5,000 horses to the Western Song Dynasty court.

This has already shown a little bit!

Zhang and Gao both knew Song. If the Western Song Dynasty was really weak, they would definitely take a bite while the chaos was.

So obedient now only means that the Western Song Dynasty cannot be deceived!

So Wanyan Wu Qimai gritted his teeth and took out 5,000 good horses for Xi to take them to Chang'an and presented them to the Western Song court.

"Why do you say you have no clothes? You are in the same comrade with your son. Wang Yu set up a army and repaired my spear. He is in the same vengeance as you..."

The majestic military singing came from a military camp next to Donghuamen Square. Then there were brigades of soldiers wearing iron clothes, lined up in neat columns.

This is a military parade held by He Zhengdan's envoys and officials from Shaanxi, Shuofang, Hedong (there are many areas in Hedong loyal to the Western Song Dynasty), Central Plains, Sichuan and other places who entered North Korea to inquire about the wind direction.

Wanyan Xie also quickly opened his eyes wide and observed carefully.

This team of iron-clad soldiers is still very interesting!

First of all, the iron armor on them was not simple. For the first time, they used the entire piece of front cover, that is, the whole piece of plate armor was Zhao Ding. After Zong Ying arrived in Xuzhou, he collected it from the iron factory in Liguojian. The same group of craftsmen were taken to Guanzhong together. Because they set off early and did not encounter heavy floods, they arrived safely.

Secondly, the grouts they carried were also very frightening! These grouts were all copycats of the eight-year-old conjunction of the Zhou Dynasty. Of course, it was impossible to lose any of them. Especially in the late stage of the Hebei Battle, the armies of both sides fought frequently on the vast battlefield, and long-distance pursuit wars occurred from time to time. During this period, the Song army was not defeated in every battle, and had many outstanding ambush battles. Therefore, the latest grouts can be seized.

In the Western Song Dynasty, there were good craftsmen brought from Li Guojian, materials from Qingcheng Academy, and high-quality iron materials produced by Li Guojian. With samples, they can naturally be quickly imitated.

Moreover, the quality of these muskets is quite good! They were produced by new army officers, and now it is wartime, so of course it is impossible to create rags that explode when they are fired.

The third highlight is the high morale of the new army soldiers of the Song Dynasty who sang generously. Of course, there is a reason why most of the Central Plains army can have such morale.

Because the retro reform in Guanzhong is progressing smoothly! These people have already obtained the land they have always dreamed of, at least 200 acres per person!

Now they are all landlord bullies! Of course they are super vicious!

So it was not them who lost most of the Central Plains, but the Song Dynasty court. All they lost was poverty... but what they got was the entire Western Song Dynasty.

While the retro equalization of fields was implemented in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, Zhao Huan was forced to approve the "active military officers' system of dispatching troops to command military forces" under the pressure of the new army officers! The Privy Council and the Ministry of War have completely fallen into the hands of the new army officers.

The Western Song Dynasty finally entered an era of shining military uniforms!

...

"Your Majesty, your morale is high and your morale is available!"

On the Donghua Gate Tower, the person who was talking to Zhao Huan in a buzzing voice was Qu Duan, the new Tongzhi Privy Council.

"It's indeed available..." Zhao Huan dealt with this arrogant and arrogant general.

Qu Duan said: "Since it is available, why not find an opponent to try the edge!"

"Oh? Who are you going to hit?" Zhao Huan became a little interested.

Qu Duan raised his hand and pointed at the Jin delegation under the Donghua Gate Tower and said, "Fight the Jin Kingdom first!"

Yes, Jingkang Nian! Who else can I fight without fighting Jin Kingdom?

"Why do you want to attack the Jin Kingdom?" Hanlin scholar Qin Hui asked, "Why did the Jin people commit crimes?"

Qin Hui...

"Haha," Qu Duan said, "It's okay!"

"How can we provoke the Jin Kingdom because of false information?" Zhang Jun, Minister of Rites, interjected, "The Jin Kingdom is a vassal of our dynasty, how can we attack without guilt?"

Tian Shizhong, Minister of War, said: "How could the Jin people be innocent? They took advantage of the court's battle with the Eastern thieves and robbed a lot of territory in Shuofang. The pastures of the Zubu tribe who depended on the Jin people were approaching Tongwancheng! Shouldn't we be so rude? Moreover, Zhangli of Xiliang, Gao Yaokang of Lingzhou, and the Supreme Master of Jingchu were all watching the court. If the court could not show its might, how could it shock the four sides?"

The reasoning is one by one, but in fact, the officers who have finished the land reform want to make contributions.

Look at the surrounding areas, the Zhou Kingdom cannot beat it!

The Supreme Emperor of Jingchu is not easy to fight, Xiangyang is hard to defeat, and the army under the Supreme Emperor is also a new army. Speaking of which, how can we fight with the New Army of Guanzhong?

As for the army of the Eastern Song Dynasty, they were shameless navy... but they were too far away to reach.

And Xiliang Kingdom is too big to swallow in one bite.

So after thinking about it, it is really pitiful that only Jin Kingdom is the best bullying! Faced with the Western Song Dynasty, which was on the feudal path, the dignified Jin Kingdom became the best target of bullying, and a group of "Jingkang Staff" were punished for a false charge.
