Poor Family - v2 Chapter 1028

  Chapter 1028 Soldiers point to Datong

  Zhao Qi took out the draft resolution from the bookcase, opened the second page and said: “It’s written very clearly! It’s not forced to remove the title, the emperor can choose to keep the title.”

   “Then what about my manor in Chenzhou? One thousand hectares of land! Is it handed over like this?”

   “The above only said that if you agree to remove the title, you can return the previous farm property.”

   “Then don’t you accept de-juege? The estate will be gone, isn’t that what it means?”

“Actually, in terms of benefits, the emperor’s uncle still chooses to get rid of the title. Anyway, the emperor’s title cannot be passed on to his descendants. It will be gone in a dozen years at most. When the time comes, the descendants of the emperor’s uncle will not be able to get the land, and they will blame the emperor. Uncle’s decision today.”

   “I mean, if you want to fight for the former land, the king can’t get rid of it!”

  Zhao Qi was silent for a moment and asked: “Is the mansion that the emperor lives in now his own?”

   “Of course it’s my own. I bought the land with my own money. After moving south, who will control our lives.”

  Zhao Qi nodded, “That’s right, even the authentic Emperor Zhao doesn’t care about the life and death of the emperor’s uncle, how can the emperor still count on Li Yanqing to show mercy?”

  Zhao Si was taken aback, “You mean, this resolution is actually Li Yanqing’s intention?”

   “I think it should be Li Yanqing’s intention to allow the royal family to do business and return the former land and farms to us. This is Li Yanqing’s concession, but we need to pay something, and the emperor has never thought about it?”

   “Li Yanqing asked us to give up the title in exchange for benefits?” Zhao Si’s eyes widened.

  Zhao Qi smiled and said, “Does the emperor know how I made the decision?”

“you say!”

“I went to Zongzheng Temple this afternoon and put forward my conditions. I can give up the title. One condition is to return my manor in Kaifeng Mansion and Bianliang property, and the other condition is that the palace I live in now belongs to me. All, become my private house, and I can pass it on to my son.”

   “You are confused!”

  Zhao Si knocked on the table angrily, “You not only gave up your title, you also gave up Zhao Song Jiangshan!”

“Uncle, I know very well in my heart that this is Li Yanqing releasing his military power with a glass of wine. If I don’t know what to do, I will die within three years. At that time, the title will be gone and everything will be gone. What tragic fate will my son have? do not know yet!”

   “This” Zhao Si was blocked and couldn’t say a word.

Zhao Qi took a sip of tea, and said lightly: “I served Jin Bing’s excrement and urine in Huanglong Mansion. I was so hungry that I even ate mice. I was so thirsty that I could only eat snow. At that time, I swore that I would If you can go back to the Central Plains, you must spend the rest of your life comfortably. All clans and powers are bullshit. Only white money, abundant food and houses are the most precious. Because of this title of King Jing, I I have already died once at the hands of the Jurchen, and I don’t want to die a second time. Uncle Huang wants to fight for power, so go find someone else! I have already signed at Zongzheng Temple this afternoon, and I am willing to give up the prince.”

  Zhao Si sighed, and said for a while, “You said just now, if I don’t sign my name, will I be killed?”

   “Uncle Huang, there is an old saying that you don’t eat fine wine when you toast, think about it yourself!”

  Zhao Si came here in a rage, but when he returned, he was full of disappointment. When he walked out of the palace, he looked up to the sky and sighed, “I, Zhao Song Jiangshan, am I really going to die?”

  . ． ． ． ． ． ．

At the same moment when Li Yanqing led the army to capture Bianjing, north of Yanmen Pass, a Song army of 100,000 people was marching northward. This army was led by Liu Kai with a hundred thousand tiger and ben army. Datong Mansion in the north of the road.

Datong Mansion was originally the Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom, including Datong Mansion, Shuozhou, Yingzhou and Yuzhou. After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Xixia also peeped into the Xijing Road. In the end, Xixia suffered a disastrous defeat, and the Kingdom of Jin seized Xijing Road.

  For the Song Dynasty, Xijing Road was originally the land of the Central Plains Dynasty. It was called Shuozhou, Yunzhou and Weizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and it has always been under the jurisdiction of the central court.

  So when the maritime covenant was signed with the Kingdom of Jin, it was made clear that after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty would take back the Xijing Road.

The Song army first entered Shuozhou. Shuozhou had a small population, only tens of thousands of people, mainly Han people, but they were Han people from the Liao Kingdom. After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, they became Han people from the Jin Kingdom. I don’t have a strong sense of identity with the Song Dynasty, and I have more doubts and fears about the Song Dynasty.

  So when Liu Tie led 5,000 vanguard troops into Shanyang County, the people in the city closed their doors and closed their doors.

  At this time, several officials rushed over, and the head official saluted: “My next official, Luo Beichao, is the magistrate of this county!”

  Liu Tie felt a little weird. The other party was obviously Han and spoke fluent Chinese, but he was not an official of the Song Dynasty. He asked, “Are you an official appointed by the Kingdom of Jin?”

  Luo Beichao smiled wryly, “The lower official was a Jinshi in the second year of Baoda in the Liao Dynasty. He was the county magistrate first. After the Jin soldiers occupied Shuozhou, the original Khitan county magistrate ran away, and the lower official was appointed as the county magistrate.”

   “We are Song Jun!”

   “I know, I just beg the general not to disturb the people. If there is any request, I will try my best to solve it.”

   “I don’t actually have any material requirements, but I want to know the current situation of Jin Bing.”

   “The situation of the Jin soldiers is very simple. After they occupied Xijing, they have not changed. The 20,000 cavalry have been stationed in Datong Mansion.”

   “Never been to your place?”

  Luo Beichao shook his head, “The army has never been out of the Datong Mansion, it’s just a humble job going to the Datong Mansion to report on their duties.”

  Liu Tie was really uncomfortable hearing it, so he said coldly: “From today onwards, you don’t have to go to Datong Mansion to report on your work.”

   “The lower official understands!”

   Liu Tie suddenly remembered something and asked again: “Since this is Shuozhou, where is the governor of Shuozhou?”

   “Reporting to the general, the population of Shuozhou is only 30,000, and more than half of them are concentrated in Shanyang County, so the subordinate officials also serve as the prefect of Shuozhou. In fact, the county government and the state government are the same thing.”

  At this time, a cavalry came running from behind, and the cavalry clasped his fists and said to Liu Tie: “The capital has arrived, please, general, take the officials here to the camp for questioning.”

“I see!”

   Liu Tie said to Luo Beichao: “You guys go to the camp with me! I won’t embarrass you, and I will let you go after asking.”

  Luo Beichao dared not go, he had to take the county magistrate and magistrate to follow Liu Tie to Daying.

  The 100,000 army has also arrived in Shanyang County. The army simply set up a large tent, and hundreds of sentries went around tens of miles to monitor the enemy’s situation.

At this time, Liu Kai was checking the marching route on the map in the big tent of the Chinese army. The army first arrived at Shanyang County, Shuozhou, and then traveled along the Sanggan River. Datong Water went to Datong Mansion.

  The climate here is similar to that of Xixia. The summer is hot and dry, and the march must be along the river. Especially for an army of 100,000 people, the water source is extremely important to them.

  The same is true for the Jin soldiers. If the 20,000 cavalry go south to fight, they must also march along the river.

  At this time, a soldier reported outside the tent: “Dutong, General Liu is here, bringing a local official with him.”

   “Let them in!”

   After a while, Liu Tie led Luo Beichao into the big tent. Luo Beichao bowed and saluted, “My subordinate Shanyang County Magistrate Luo Beichao has a meeting with Liu Dutong.”

   “Are you Han Chinese?”

   “Xiaguan’s great-grandfather was from Taiyuan Prefecture.”

   “Then why did you go to the north?”

Luo Beichao smiled wryly, “At that time, there was only one situation for the Han people who went to the north. They were caught by the Liao army threshing grass. However, my great-grandfather was a businessman, and his goods and money were robbed by horse bandits. He couldn’t go back to his hometown, so he had to stay. In Shuozhou, our descendants can only stay in Shuozhou.”

  Liu Kai nodded, “Have you been to Datong Mansion?”

   “The next official went to Datong Mansion to report on his work two months ago.”

   “I want to know about the situation in Datong Prefecture, how much can you tell me?”

   “The lower officials can only tell the capital about the situation in Datong City, but the officials really don’t know about Jin Bing’s situation. Their barracks are in the north of Datong City. I have never been there, and I have never seen Jin Bing.”

   “Then talk about Datong City!”
