Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

As the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the weather gradually became cooler.

When the autumn leaves were withering, Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen and others left Wugong County and headed towards Fengxiang Mansion.

Along the way, they met countless young people who built roads. Zhao Chen and others inspected their road construction. In this era, only gravel roads can be built. Zhao Chen can see that these young people are very serious about building, and it can be predicted that the roads successfully built in the future will be very strong.

This road will connect Wugong County, Fufeng County, Fengxiang Mansion, Dasanguan, and Hanzhong. This is the first road to be built. In the future, they will build more roads, including the road from Guanshan to Xixia, the road from Hanzhong to Sichuan, and the roads inside Sichuan. At that time, the whole country will be connected in all directions.

These road-building youths worked very hard.

The weather has turned cold, and frost has begun to rise in the morning and evening, and these young people are sleeping in the wilderness. The clothes on many young people were extremely thin. Along the way, Zhao Chen even ordered the soldiers of the imperial camp to take off his clothes and give them to the young people who were building the road to wear.

On September 15th, Zhao Chen and others came to Fengxiang Mansion.

Here, countless young people have gathered!

These young people are not young people from the Production and Construction Corps, they are from Sichuan and Shu, and they are young people who have just been recruited by the imperial court in Sichuan and Shu!

Their number has reached 1.5 million. Of the 1.5 million people, 700,000 will stay in Guanshan, 500,000 will stay in the Northwest, and 300,000 will go to Xixia , Enter Lingzhou and Liangzhou!

They came here in early September, and they have been waiting for Zhao Chen for ten days!

They are waiting for Zhao Chen's interview. They want to meet the leader in their hearts before going to various places, to see the "red sun" that the Propaganda Department promotes, and to meet the person they ask for instructions every morning and report at night!

As the sun sets, the sound of horseshoes can be heard in the distance.

The soldiers of the imperial camp were coming in this direction, and the leader was Zhao Chen.

The moment Zhao Chen appeared, there was a trace of commotion among the young people around Fengxiang Mansion.

Then there was a humming sound.

"That person, on a horse, he is Your Majesty!"

"Oh my God! That's right, he is really His Majesty! We pay homage to his portrait every day, that's him! He is our leader, the reddest red sun in our hearts, our great Majesty, the only saint in this world , great man, divine man!"

"Your Majesty! It's really His Majesty! My God! I finally saw Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live!"

The young people around Fengxiang Mansion were shouting excitedly, gradually the voices became louder and louder, the voice of "long live" was earth-shattering!

"His Majesty has come among us!"

"Quick! Get out of the way and let His Majesty pass!"

Zhao Chen has already come among these young people at this moment. Compared with the soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps, they seem extremely young. But their loyalty to Zhao Chen and their belief in sacrificing for the country are exactly the same as the soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps, and the same as the soldiers of the various armies.

Zhao Chen walked through the youth, and countless young people burst into tears.

When they were in Sichuan, they looked forward to seeing Zhao Chen every day, and now they finally saw this person!

Countless people couldn't describe their feelings. At this moment, they had nothing but Zhao Chen in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, I finally see you!" Someone couldn't help but knelt down and bowed to Zhao Chen.

"Get down quickly! You will soon join the Production and Construction Corps and become soldiers! In the army, you don't need to kneel down." Zhao Chen helped the young man up and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I want to join the Forbidden Army, can I?" a young man said loudly.

The sound of long live around was too loud, and Zhao Chen had to concentrate to hear the young man's words clearly.

"If you perform well in the Production and Construction Corps, you will naturally be able to join the Forbidden Army in the future!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely perform well! I must enter the army and make meritorious deeds!" The young man said excitedly

He walked through the young people, just like those young people in Hanzhong City back then. Countless young people came to his side, countless young people had tears in their eyes, and countless young people hoped to be with him forever.

For the whole night, Zhao Chen stayed with the youths.

There are 1.5 million young people here, and none of these 1.5 million young people fell asleep that night.

Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep at all.

In the morning, when the sun was just rising, Zhao Chen came to the city wall of Fengxiang Mansion.

He looked at the young man below, filled with emotion.

This time, another 1.5 million young people will be recruited, and the population pressure in Guanshan and Northwest China will be greatly resolved. Moreover, after these people enter the Production and Construction Corps, they receive re-education in the Production and Construction Corps, and their thinking will undergo a complete change. Just like what he said to Yu Yunwen that day, although the world belongs to the people of the world, it still belongs to the young people in the final analysis. Sooner or later the young people will grow up, and sooner or later they will take over the country. Zhao Chen wants all these young people to accept his ideas and always follow him closely so that these young people can realize their political dreams.

"This time, 300,000 people from the Guanshan Production and Construction Corps will join the army! Our military strength in Guanshan will increase to 800,000! Among them, the number of troops facing Jurchen and King Kang will reach 700,000. Thousands of people, this is a huge force, we no longer need to be afraid of Jurchen and King Kang!" Zhao Chen clenched his fists and said secretly.

The General Staff Headquarters has decided to enlist 300,000 people from the Guanshan Production and Construction Corps. During this period of time, various places have been mobilizing for enlistment, and the best group of young people will join the army. The youths of the Production and Construction Corps are different from ordinary people. They also have military training on weekdays, so they can no longer be regarded as ordinary recruits. Their quality is far beyond that of ordinary people, their bodies are excellent, they can use all kinds of weapons, they understand the principles of military discipline, and they will soon become soldiers who can go to the battlefield.

"The military strength is 700,000. This is because the General Staff Headquarters considered the economic construction of Guanshan, so only 300,000 young people were recruited! The Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Headquarters considered that economic development and external expansion must be balanced, and they should not resort to military force. Otherwise, , We can even expand the number of troops to one million or two million! Those young people are absolutely willing to join the army!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

The young people below were still shouting excitedly, and some young people were saying goodbye to those around them. They will go to various places in Guanshan, Northwest and Xixia, and no one knows whether they will meet again in the future. It wasn't until this time that their excitement calmed down, and a little sadness appeared on their faces. But when they think of being able to fight against heaven and earth, make meritorious deeds, achieve the many grand goals mentioned by the Propaganda Department, and do more things for this country and nation, their sadness is much reduced.

Zhao Chen looked at the young man below, his mind seemed to be no longer here, and he didn't know where he was flying.

He suddenly felt that the country in front of him was a bit like the Great Qin after Shang Yang's reform, with its national strength and military strength growing day by day. Although the strength of this country is not as good as the six countries, its development speed is far faster than the six countries. Sooner or later, it will annex the six countries and establish an unprecedented huge empire. He also feels that this country is a bit like the grassland that was just unified by Genghis Khan. Although there are Xixia, Jin, and Song in the south, the powerful Huacizimo in the west, and the powerful Qincha grassland tribe in the north, this country will sooner or later Destroy all enemies and become invincible across Europe and Asia.

"No, the current Song Dynasty is not only powerful in force, but our economy is also extremely strong! After the implementation of the rent reduction order, the living standards of farmers have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the country's economic strength has advanced by leaps and bounds! From ancient times to the present, there is no No dynasty implemented a rent reduction order, and no dynasty could restrict the exploitation of farmers by officials and gentry in this way! No dynasty had so much repaired water conservancy and built roads like this! The current Song Dynasty is like the Tang Dynasty in the era of Zhenguan rule. The Ming Dynasty in the era of Renxuan rule is like the Qing Dynasty in the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong! This country is flourishing both in terms of culture, governance and martial arts. It is like a giant dragon that has risen into the sky! The rise of the Song Dynasty is unstoppable. The inevitability of history! The army and the people are united as one, let’s see who can be the enemy in the world. The countless youths of the Song Dynasty unite as one, enough to overcome everything. Xixia is insignificant, Jurchen and King Kang are insignificant, even the world will be conquered by us. Great Song Dynasty, This is a rising powerful country..." Zhao Chen muttered to himself.

He felt that his whole body was full of power. This power did not come from himself, but from this country, from the millions of young people below, from tens of millions of people in Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Northwest. As the ruler of this country, he felt infinite power. This is the power of the country. It is unrivaled, thriving, and comparable to the power of the Han and Tang Dynasties. No one can resist this power of the country.

*** ***

At this moment, on the land of the distant Central Plains, there are scenes of withering everywhere.

A girl in white was riding a horse, walking slowly forward.

"It's another dilapidated village with no one in it." Passing by a village, the girl walked around for a while and sighed softly.

For a whole day, she walked hundreds of miles, but all she saw was deathly silence.

In the Central Plains, Henan and Huaihe Rivers, there are almost no well-preserved villages and towns on the ground for more than a thousand miles. For more than ten days, she has never seen a village or town with a population of more than two hundred people.

But in just a few years, there is a world of difference between here and Guanshan. Everywhere in Guanshan is full of vitality and prosperity, but here there is only decay. In fact, not only here, Jiangnan is now far inferior to Guanshan, Sichuan and Sichuan. If the area ruled by Zhao Chen is equivalent to the rising Qin and Mongolia, the area ruled by Zhao Gou is like the Ming Dynasty ruled by Chongzhen. One is constantly developing vigorously, and the other is getting more and more backward. Zhao Chen has already left Zhao Gou far behind.

"I'm going to Kaifeng tomorrow, I wonder what Kaifeng will look like now?" the girl whispered to herself.

It was getting dark, and she continued on her way, until midnight when she stopped in a village. There was no living person in this village, and there were bones everywhere. She just sat cross-legged in a dilapidated house, closed her eyes gently, and fell into meditation like this.

She didn't leave the village until the next morning.

Two hours later, she came to Kaifeng Mansion, the old capital of Song Dynasty.

It used to be the most prosperous city in the world, the economy here was the most prosperous in the world, and the population here exceeded one million. The city walls here are magnificent, and the scenery here is extremely beautiful. From the establishment of the capital here by Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty to the shame of Jingkang, this place has experienced a history of 167 years. It is the center of the Central Plains and a place that countless Han people yearn for.

That day, before the gate of Kaifeng city was reached, there were already countless people and merchants coming and going outside, and it was a lively scene. As for the inside of the city, it was even more lively. But today, there is no one at the gate of Kaifeng City. The gates of Kaifeng City have been broken, and the city walls have also been broken.

The girl in white frowned slightly and entered Kaifeng City.

The city is quiet, and there are weeds everywhere, and the bones of the dead can be seen in the middle of the weeds. Other than that, there is nothing else here.

Occasionally, the cry of an old crow can be heard, giving people an unusually bleak and terrifying feeling.

However, there was no sense of terror on the girl's face, she just frowned slightly, with an unusual sadness in her heart.

"The capital of my Great Song Dynasty has turned into this look! It looks like there is no one in the city!" The girl said softly.

What she didn't know was that there were countless rebels here two years ago, and then the rebels went to Chang'an. Later, some rebels returned to the Central Plains, but most of those rebels went to Luoyang and Shangqiu. This place is too dilapidated, no one lives here anymore.

In fact, the fate of Kaifeng was also extremely tragic. In history, after the Mongols destroyed the gold, the Southern Song army went north, which was called Duanping and Luo in history. After the army of the Southern Song Dynasty entered Kaifeng City, only 300 families were found in Kaifeng City, and half of these 300 families were Jurchens and Khitans. One can imagine how dilapidated this once largest city in the world is?

Although Kaifeng is dilapidated, its scale is still huge. The girl even came to the original Song Palace and stayed here for a long time. She spent the night here.
