Chapter 138: Empress Wei returns to the road and there is a lot of coal and iron in Jincheng.

When he went to the capital, Emperor Wanyan Ban received Han Li's reward. After thinking about it again and again, he ordered Han Li to pay his respects to Wu Shu and Han Qixian, but his family wrote another letter from the palace, saying, "The people of Taihang are the people of Dajin. Please comfort them for the country, and do not allow them to live in the mountains for a long time." He wrote to Jincheng.

Wanyan Dan ascended the throne at the age of 16, and has only been eight years since his reign. His reign has been short, and there are many ministers in the court, even powerful ministers. Previously, Wanyan Zongji, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Xiyin and others were much more arrogant in front of him. Only the fourth emperor uncle Wushu (Wanyan Zongbi) is respectful to him, which makes him feel like he is an emperor. It has always been common for him to be a strong minister and the ruler is weak. Whenever the clan ministers were in power, it is difficult for the emperor of the Jin Dynasty to be very good. It is better to be the main ministers of Han in the past two years and he will be slightly more satisfied.

Therefore, the letters I wrote to Yang Zaixing last time, "I really yearn for it" are the truth. Although the plan was first introduced by Korean companies, there were not without the lofty ambitions of a young emperor. Since the eldest son Ji'an died of illness last year, Wanyan Tan has been in depression until his favored concubine was pregnant with his descendants. However, when he was able to truly control the government independently, it was the time when the power of the Great Jin Dynasty fell to the lowest point under the successive battles of Wushu. There is no need to talk about the remnants of the Liao Dynasty. Yelu Dashi repeatedly invaded Western Xia and was unable to organize a counterattack. The prestige and influence of the Great Jin in Western Xia had been greatly damaged. The Mongolian tribes repeatedly raided the Jurchen tribes within hundreds of miles of Shangjing with small-scale cavalry. As the emperor of the Jurchen tribes, he could not protect his mother tribe. How could he be called "rich all over the world"?

With this move, Wanyan Tan, 24, even thought that Yang Zaixing was brave and brave. If he could pacify the Mongolian tribes with him, or create a legend of the wise ruler of another dynasty! After all, although there are many heroes of the Great Jin Dynasty, who has the right one of Wushu. It is not fortunate to be called the Great Jin Dynasty's war god. In addition to his outstanding achievements, he is more knowledgeable about strategy and can defeat thousands of troops with a piece of paper. How can he achieve it with only brute force? But Yang Zaixing was able to make Wushu so afraid, isn't it more than Wushu?

However, in Yang Zaixing's reply, Wanyan Tan did not see the answer he really wanted. Even behind this answer, there was the meaning of "When you compete in the Central Plains in the future, I don't know who will die?", which aroused Wanyan Tan's arrogance: I asked you to live in Jincheng for a while, but I have to see what you have the ability to compete with me for the world! Therefore, I replied to Yang Zaixing's words lukewarmly and told him that no matter how much you did, it was just to appease the people of the Dajin.

But deep down, what Wanyan Tan tried his best to avoid thinking was that the Great Jin Dynasty could not do anything to the thousands of Taihang bandits under Yang Zaixing's troops. No wonder Wu Shu was busy quitting with the Song Dynasty. After a close agreement, he led all the elite cavalry back to Shangjing. What made Wanyan Tan feel a little comforted was that the news of Wu Shu returning north was spread. The Mongolian cavalry immediately fled hundreds of miles away, and did not dare to approach within five hundred miles of Shangjing.

Wanyan could only sigh at Yang Zaixing who was far away in Jincheng. There were indeed not many cards available in his hand.

At the same time, Zhao Gou in Lin'an City also received a letter from Yang Zaixing, who presented the upper land with the central government of Wang Lanjing. His speech was briefly said: "The commander of the Right Army in the front office of the Palace, the governor of Fenzhou, and the military officer of Wuluo Yang Zaixing was reported to the palace: I am forced by the bandits of Taihang Mountain and led the bandits to suppress the bandits in Pingzezhou and Jincheng. I was lucky enough to succeed. Now, 80,000 people from the Song Dynasty in Hebei have been collected in Zhucheng, Zezhou. I will briefly restore the old views before Jingkang. I will report to me and ask for an order.

In the capital of Anzhou, I have now obtained the title of "the chief of the thief in Shangjing to report to Hebei as the title of "the governor of Zezhou". I want to trap the ministers in an unrighteous manner. Although I am foolish and rude, I still admire the righteousness of Caiwei. How could I be the chief of the thief in Song Dynasty and be the chief of the thief in Song Dynasty? Therefore, I did not refuse my despicable resources and dared to ask for power to govern the post of Zezhou Prefecture, and also issued an edict to all prefectures in Jiangnan. It is not that I like to hold high positions, but I only borrowed them to be the governor of Zezhou Prefecture. Although I have foolish plans, I dare not be self-dedicated. Only Your Majesty will punish him."

Zhao Gou got the book and looked at Qin Hui: How similar is this book to Qin Hui's suggestions? Is there a unique master in Jincheng? Or is it Yang Zaixing's original intention? If it is the latter, Yang Zaixing's strategy should be looked at differently. If it is the same as Qin Hui's plan, how can it be an ordinary person?

However, no matter where the plan comes from, after all, this is the only feasible way. Qin Hui now drafted an order to use Yang Zaixing as the governor of Zezhou Prefecture. Wang Lan received the news and laughed at Zhao Gou with stinginess. After all, Wanyan Dan was directly appointed as the governor, but Zhao Gou half-rejected and half-recognized a "register of Quan" on the spot! But Wang Lan received this order and had completed most of the tasks, while the other half of the tasks was told by the mistress Qiuxiang: to take the three maids of the Yang Mansion to Jincheng. In order to fulfill Zhao Gou's words that "the Yang Mansion in Lin'an City is still the same", Qin Hui pulled back the people who turned out to be Yang Zaixing's place one by one, and the three maids were naturally among them. Although they were only three maids of the Qin Mansion, they shared the same distress with Qiu Xiang. In addition, they had shared a pillow with Yang Zaixing, which was almost half of the mistress in Jincheng. In Wang Lan's mind, the importance of this task was not inferior to asking Zhao Gou for orders.

On the day of departure, when the three maids got on the car, Qin Juzhizhi hesitated, but he did not dare to say a word, so he had to send someone to report to Qin Hui. Qin Hui had no choice but to send someone to report to Qin Hui. When Qin Hui left the city, he saw fragrant flowers everywhere, with dozens of miles of Qing road, and the imperial guards were tight. If he had not held the seal of the prefect of Jincheng, he would not have been able to leave Yuhang Gate. After inquiring about the goalkeeper, he realized that Empress Wei had finally returned to Lin'an, and the coffin of Huizong was also accompanied by Huizong's coffin. As the highest commander of the delegation, the imperial envoy Wang Ciwen walked in front of Wang Gongliang as the pioneer, wearing mourning clothes and looking haggard. It was obvious that the trip to Beijing was not a good job. It was already an unexpected surprise for the two to finally return to Lin'an safely.

Zhao Gou naturally went to Yuhang Gate to greet him ten miles away, but Empress Wei did not get out of the sedan chair, but asked Zhao Gou to whisper a few words beside the sedan chair. Zhao Gou wiped his tears slightly, but put the sedan chair through and knelt on the side of the road to greet his father's coffin. It was not until the burial ceremony of Huizong that Zhao Gou and Empress Wei hugged and cried in the palace. Later, Zhao Gou mentioned Rou Fu to Empress Wei, saying that Rou Fu was already trapped in Taihang, but with Yang Zaixing's protection, it was fine. Empress Wei's expression changed several times, but did not speak. Zhao Gou didn't know what Empress Wei was worried about, so he spoke politely and leniently, saying that "Everything in Hebei, Jiangnan can't be heard of." Empress Wei was a little relieved.

Empress Wei was in the capital and learned that King Gai Tian was captured by the Song army. Although no one was willing to tell which general was killed, he vaguely heard that it was Yang Zaixing, a brave general under Yue Fei. This time, he learned the details from Zhao Gou that he now sent many rewards to Yang Zaixing, the Jincheng City under the name of Empress Wei returning to the palace. Since the reward was also the prefect of Zezhou, the Jin army was granted the title of the Lord of the Great Jin Kingdom, along the way, the Jin army was escorted to the extremely considerate.

Yang Zaixing smiled in Jinzhou City, but it was not for the two seals of Zezhou prefects placed in front of him, from Wanyan Dan and Zhao Gou, but for the bumper harvest of Zezhou this year. In addition to the more than 1,000 tons of grain earned by the Jinzhou army on its own farming, even the tax grain collected by one-tenth of the quota was four or five hundred tons. The land that had not been farmed and lost in recent years was sufficiently fertile, with a yield of nearly 200 kilograms per mu, which was unexpected. Now the second one

The grain in the sequel is growing well. Seeing that there should be another bumper harvest in early October, why don’t Yang Zaixing laugh happily! And in addition, Yang Zaixing is even more happy: The Song people actually had a large area of ​​wheat planting in Taihang! So, there should be a season of harvest in winter. If the land on the mountain was not poor, the Song people on the Taihang Mountain should not be embarrassed. At present, there is a vast land at the foot of the mountain. After several years of farming, Jinzhou is expected to be rich!

In addition to the harvest, we naturally built large-scale armor and trained troops in order to make great use. However, the situation reported by the craftsmen in the city was unhappy. Yang Zaixing personally visited the weapons to inspect them. Although it was still busy, it was mainly repaired. There were very few new weapons, and there were no need to mention armor. It turned out that Yue Fei brought Yang Zaixing four or five hundred complete armors from Taihang, but now there were less than three hundred complete ones. This was peeled out from the Beiwei army. Except for Yue, Han, Zhang, and Liu Zhuzhen, other troops could not afford to be equipped. Not to mention manufacturing in Jincheng, even repairing and fitting were missing. The biggest problem was that iron tools were lacking!

"The good teacher knows that Jincheng has a lot of coal and iron since ancient times, and it can be mined within 30 miles outside the city. However, it is necessary to set up a furnace to make coking and steelmaking. However, there are many inconveniences in the city. You have to choose a place to build it. Since Jingkang, this business has been abandoned. The young man still remembers it. If the adults allow it and pull out some money and grain, the young man will definitely make tens of thousands of kilograms of fine iron before the end of the year!" The old man in the place of speaking turned out to be a familiar craftsman in Jincheng. He was an official craftsman in Zezhou Prefecture and was in charge of the construction of iron furnaces. Therefore, he knew that the distribution of coal and iron on the territory of Jincheng was dared to make such a big talk.

Yang Zaixing was overjoyed when he heard this. Then he remembered that Shanxi was the sea of ​​iron mountains and coal in later generations, which was enough to supply a large China coal and iron. Could it be that it could not supply a small Jincheng? It was just that to improve the quality of weapons, the iron smelting process had to be personally inquired. If the iron was not refined well, the weapons created would be far inferior. This is a later story. At this moment, of course, he would pull out money and grain and let the old man surnamed Guo lead a team to mine coal.

But on the other hand, what made Yang Zaixing depressed was that no matter how you build weapons, the number of horses could not be increased. Most of the horses in the army were ruthless stallions and even fewer mares. It was absolutely impossible to expand the cavalry by relying on natural breeding. At present, one less horse is consumed. If there is no other way, the Jinzhou cavalry would disappear with the decrease of horses within three to five years. After more than a hundred years in Jiangnan, the Song Dynasty was finally defeated by Mongolia. No powerful subway cavalry was one of the most fatal factors. After many years, the abandonment of military equipment was certainly an important reason, but the difficulty of raising horses was the most difficult problem to solve.

Naturally, horses cannot be produced on the Taihang Mountains. Will the Jin army in Hebei sell horses to themselves?
