Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 180 News from the South

It was already dark, and Wang Shu was still busy!

During this period of time, with the implementation of the rent reduction order, the workload of the Propaganda Department has also increased greatly! However, the Propaganda Department is still carrying out propaganda in the Hanzhong area. Although they have personnel entering Sichuan and Shu, the amount of propaganda in Sichuan and Shu is extremely limited! The local power in Sichuan and Shu is extremely huge, not only the rent reduction order cannot be implemented there, but it is also difficult for the Propaganda Department to carry out work there!

After receiving the summons from the palace, Wang Shu immediately headed towards the palace!

After Wang Shu came to the palace, Zhao Chen had calmed down, not as angry as before! He has gone through so many things, his heart has been tempered, and he has long been different from ordinary teenagers. Now he just wants to ask Wang Shu why he did this!

"Your Majesty called me here late at night, what's the matter?" Wang Shu said after sitting down.

"I made a private visit today and came to a village. I saw the officials of your Propaganda Department doing propaganda work!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, our Propaganda Department is currently cooperating with the implementation of the rent reduction order, and the results of the publicity are not bad," Wang Shu said.

"What did I ask you to promote? Have you forgotten all about it?" Zhao Chen said sharply.

"Ah!" Wang Shu was taken aback and said, "How dare I forget what His Majesty said?"

"But what I see is not like this! What I see is that you are promoting some personal things about me, and you have distributed my portrait to the people, asking the people to ask for instructions every morning and report late every day! Absurd!" Zhao Chen yelled softly.

"Your Majesty, there is no way to do this! You have heard that you should speak carefully!" Wang Shu said.

At that moment, Wang Shu began to explain, and after Wang Shu finished speaking, Zhao Chen froze there!

"Doing this, I always feel that something is wrong! In the future, the emperor's prestige is too high, and everything he says will be regarded as the truth. Even the emperor himself will lose himself! If there is really a wrong decision, no one can cure it. It is impossible for the ministers of the court even to persuade them, because the ministers of the court completely 'believe' what the emperor said is correct, and they will not have any doubts! Let alone the common people! At that time, the world will be in catastrophe!" Zhao Chen said.

"This..." Wang Shu shook his head and said, "The ideas that His Majesty wants to promote are unimaginable. Only in this way can these ideas be promoted as soon as possible! Only in this way can the people join the army as soon as possible, so that we have enough troops and Jurchen, King Kang contend!"

"Let me think about it again!" Zhao Chen said.

He thought for a long time, wondering if he should stop this matter! In fact, if he promotes the personality cult, his personal prestige will increase rapidly. Coupled with the authority of the Military Aircraft Department, he really promises what he says, and he can do whatever he wants. He can implement all his ideas! But he is also afraid that he will be lost in the power, unable to extricate himself!

"When Li Gang left Hanzhong, I told him that my heart will not change. Today I will tell myself that my heart will remain the same! That is, I will not lose myself, and I will still follow my original ideas step by step!" Zhao said. Chen stood in front of the window, he thought for a long time, and finally got the answer!

*****

Soon after, Wang Shu bid farewell and left! On the second day, before dawn, Wang Shu suddenly rushed to the palace!

Zhao Chen just woke up, and he is dancing with a sword! Over the years, he has never given up on martial arts, he meditates every day, and dances sword every morning! If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't form rivers and seas! Only by practicing diligently can we continue to improve!

This time, after experiencing a battle on the battlefield and seeing countless people die, Zhao Chen seemed to have a deeper understanding of the Dazheng swordsmanship and the Mengdie swordsmanship. At this moment, the sword energy was flying, and he didn't stop until Wang Shu came over. come down!

"What happened? You came here so early?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, news from Jiangnan has arrived!" Wang Shu said.

"Say it!" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly said.

Last winter, when the Jurchen went south, he had been concerned about the news about Jiangnan, but the distance between Hanzhong and Jiangnan was too far, and it was impossible for the war situation in Jiangnan to be heard at any time! The current news is probably already a month ago!

"Your Majesty, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi and others have retreated! Zongze has two million rebels under his command. Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi and others have been attacked continuously, and finally had to retreat! But Jurchen The fourth prince, Wanyan Wushu, went all the way south. He bypassed Henan and other places and came all the way to Hangzhou! Kang Wang’s rebels did not dare to compete with the Jurchens, and hid in the sea! Wanyan Wushu raged in the south of the Yangtze River, and then along the Yangtze River , Wanyan Wushu met Han Shizhong! Han Shizhong fought Wanyan Wushu, he was not Wanyan Wushu's opponent, and he was about to be defeated by Wanyan Wushu. Blocked the golden soldiers! Afterwards, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Wang Yuan and others led their armies to come, and Wanyan Wushu led his troops to withdraw from Jiangnan a month ago!" Wang Shu said.

"Kang Wang and Zhao Gou escaped to the sea!" Zhao Chen was slightly taken aback.

His knowledge of the history of the Southern Song Dynasty is limited, he only knows some famous people and some famous battles! He didn't know that Zhao Gou had often "go to the sea" in history, and every time the Jin soldiers attacked Jiangnan, Zhao Gou would choose to flee to the sea! One of the important reasons why Zhao Gou chose to set his capital in Hangzhou was that Hangzhou was very close to the sea, so he could escape to the sea in case of danger!

"Your Majesty, Kang Wang's rebels have no guts. The number of troops in the south of the Yangtze River is far greater than ours in Hanzhong, and Wanyan Wushu only has 10,000 to 20,000 cavalry! Under such circumstances, he dared not fight Jurchen. Dare to escape to the sea! Although the Jin soldiers have retreated, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are in an uproar! I really don’t know, what face does King Kang have to continue to steal the throne!" Wang Shu said.

Wang Shu also didn't expect Kang Wang Zhao Gou to be such a person, he was very contemptuous in his heart! Thinking that he had planned to seek refuge with King Kang back then, he was also terrified at the moment!

"Kang Kang is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is too far away from us! Let him continue to be arrogant for a while! Let's follow the strategy we have set before, and first completely subdue Guan Shan! Now there are thirty-six rebels in northern Shaanxi. If the thirty-six rebels can be subdued, northern Shaanxi will be completely recovered! I have sent Zhao Zhe, Liu Kai and others to contact the thirty-six rebels, but there is no news yet!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the thirty-six rebels do not belong to each other, and it is not easy to get them all to submit to us! We still have to use troops when necessary!" Wang Shu said.

"This is natural! However, in the war at the beginning of the year, all armies suffered casualties, and food, grass, supplies, etc. were greatly consumed. We will not use large-scale troops in a short time. We will first subdue some rebels, and then subdue northern Shaanxi with the cooperation of these rebels. !” said Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, we have to speed up, I'm afraid King Kang has other thoughts!" Wang Shu said.

"Kang Kang has other thoughts?" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

"Kang Kang is best at intrigue and intrigue, and is good at coordinating vertically and horizontally. They wanted to win over our Jingyuan army back then. I was worried that they would win over the rebels in northern Shaanxi and pose a threat to us!" Wang Shu said.

"You are right, we must beware of these!" Zhao Chen nodded, and began to use his mind!
