Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

It was getting dark gradually, and Zhao Chen entered the Great Sanguan!

He was sitting alone in the room with a lamp on, and he was watching the memorial under the lamp! Since the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, any important political and military affairs have to be sent to the Military Aircraft Department for him to handle! Without the order of the Military Aircraft Department, the imperial court and the Privy Council cannot handle major political and military affairs!

At this moment, the voice of reporting came from outside!

Zhao Chen responded lightly, the door opened, and a person came outside, it was Wang Shu!

"Your Majesty, my minister!" Wang Shu knelt down in front of Zhao Chen and said.

"Get up quickly! You and Li Gang have been busy with the autumn harvest these days. How is the output in various places this year?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, both Hanzhong and Guanshan have achieved unprecedented bumper harvests! Only the Sichuan area has encountered a severe drought this year, and the harvests in all parts of Sichuan are not very good!" Wang Shu said.

"Isn't it related to our rent reduction order that the unprecedented bumper harvests in Hanzhong, Guanshan and Shaanxi?" Zhao Chen said.

"This is natural! Your Majesty, since the implementation of the rent reduction order, the people in Hanzhong, Guanshan and Shanxi have been very concerned about the crops. They stay in the sky and the earth all day and night, tending the crops. They also build water conservancy and irrigate the crops together. This year, the harvests in Hanzhong and Guanshan are almost twice as much as before, which is something I never expected!" Wang Shu said excitedly.

Zhao Chen nodded, in his opinion, this is a very normal thing! After the implementation of the rent reduction order, the farmers' enthusiasm and enthusiasm for growing grain were stimulated, and the output of the fields would naturally increase a lot! The population in the Song Dynasty was actually quite large, but it was still far inferior to modern times! Roughly speaking, the population of the Song Dynasty was less than one tenth of that of modern times, which means that the per capita land ownership of Song Dynasty was more than ten times that of modern times! With so much land, even if the yield per mu of the land is not as good as that of future generations, as long as the system is reasonable, there is no problem in feeding the population of Song Dynasty! The reason why disasters occurred frequently in the Song Dynasty, farmers could not survive repeatedly, and the number of peasant uprisings ranked first in all dynasties was mainly due to institutional reasons!

"Your Majesty, the work of our Propaganda Department is going well! Moreover, we have recently changed our propaganda strategy!" Wang Shu said.

"Oh? What's changed?" Zhao Chen said.

"Now we are mainly promoting among some young people! Including the students of those colleges, as well as the children of farmers and soldiers from all over the place, the effect of propaganda among these young people is very good! They are young and easy to accept what His Majesty said Those thoughts!" Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen nodded slightly,

"Your Majesty, I have a grand plan and I want to tell Your Majesty!" Wang Shu said again.

"Say it!" Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, Wang Shu started to talk, and Zhao Chen kept listening from the side.

After Wang Shu finished speaking, Zhao Chen stayed there!

His expression changed, after a long time he opened the door and walked out, Wang Shu followed behind him.

Zhao Chen came to the city wall of Dashanguan again, breathing the fresh air here! For some reason, he felt a little depressed! He didn't know whether these suggestions and plans made by Wang Shu were good or bad for him, or good or bad for the future! He felt suffocated, he didn't know if he should do this!

"Your Majesty, please make a decision early!" Wang Shu said.

Wang Shu also felt a little emotional in his heart, he was here to ask Qu Duan to make a decision earlier, but unfortunately Qu Duan didn't listen to him, and now he said the same thing to Zhao Chen again!

"Okay! Just do as you say!" After a long time, Zhao Chen said abruptly.

*****

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of July in the lunar calendar!

The autumn leaves are falling, and the weather is already a bit cold!

The crops in various places have been harvested, many farmers have been idle, and the children of farmers have also been idle! However, these peasant children are not idle. They gather together all day long, and the staff of the Propaganda Department come to these peasant children to carry out publicity!

In schools all over the world, such propaganda abounds!

In a school in Nanzheng, today's class has been finished and the teacher has left, but the students in the school have not yet left!

There were about 20 students here, and only a tall student came to the podium, and the students below all looked at him! They knew that this student was called Yu Yunwen, who was from Longzhou, Sichuan. His family moved here a few years ago, and he also came to this school! Yu Yunwen has a good relationship with these students, and they often play together on weekdays! However, since the beginning of this year, these students have also received education from the Propaganda Department, and the things they discuss on weekdays are quite different from before!

"Brother Yu, what are you going to talk about today?" said a fourteen or fifteen year old student below.

"Today we are still talking about Jin Bing's abuse of us Han people! I just met an uncle who came to Chang'an yesterday, and that uncle talked about the experience of Chang'an City back then, and I will tell everyone!" Yu Yunwen said.

He spoke slowly, telling the tragic things that happened in Chang'an City, and the students below became more and more indignant the more they listened!

"Brother Yu, the Jurchens are so tyrannical and cruel, and bully us Han people so much, we must not let them go, we have to fight them hard!" A student couldn't stand it any longer, and said loudly.

"Yes! We must fight them hard! I want to join the army!" Another student said.

The students below stood up one after another, all with different expressions from the Jurchens!

"Everyone be quiet, do you know that in the school in Zhaojiapo, ten miles away, many students are already preparing to go to Hanzhong, see Your Majesty, and ask for the establishment of a death squad! I am also going to Hanzhong, see Your Majesty! This time we will go south All the young people in Zheng must go to Hanzhong, begging His Majesty to set up a death-defying army, and fight the Jurchen to the death!" Yu Yunwen said loudly.

"Ah! If that's the case, we have to go!" a student below said excitedly.

"Yes, we must go! We Han people are much stronger than their Jurchens! In the Han and Tang Dynasties, we were invincible in the world, and any foreign race would respect our Han emperor as the Khan of Heaven! And the Jurchens are just barbarians, He Dehe Can we compete with us? The reason why we were defeated was because His Majesty had not ascended the throne at that time! Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, with our help, we will surely be able to expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains!" said a student.

"Yes! The Jurchens actually occupied the Central Plains, and the barbarians with a population of only a few hundred thousand dared to bully our Song Dynasty with a population of 10 million. This is a shame. This is an unprecedented shame for us Han people! We must drive them all away. Kill them all, and use their blood to wash away such shame!" Another student said loudly.

The students below responded one after another, and Yu Yunwen above showed a smile! He has already joined the Propaganda Department and is now a member of the Propaganda Department, but no one else including his parents knows about it!

In fact, Yu Yunwen did not know his important position in history. This person was a famous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty. He became an official with literature in his early years. When Yan Liang used the power of the whole country to invade the south, he turned the tide and achieved a great victory in quarrying, becoming famous all over the world! Liu Qi was old at that time, and when he heard the news of the great victory in quarrying, tears filled his eyes, saying, "The imperial court has raised soldiers for 30 years, and today's great achievement is due to Confucian scholars"! Later generations commented on historical figures, read the history related to Yu Yunwen, and said with emotion, "Great Mr. Yu, one person through the ages"! In terms of real talent, he even surpassed Li Gang, Zhao Ding and others. He is a true all-rounder in civil and military affairs, but now this person has stepped onto the stage of history as a "student leader"!
