Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

No one knows that Jiang Hongfei, who has been enjoying the company of many women recently, is actually a little confused!

Jiang Hongfei couldn't help but think that after his series of actions, the Jingkang Shame in history did not happen, but he seemed to have created another version of the "Jingkang Shame".

The only difference is that the country and society of the Zhao Song Dynasty and the daughters of the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty did not benefit the Jin people, but benefited himself.

Sometimes, especially when Jiang Hongfei was emptying himself and hugging the daughters of the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty to sleep, Jiang Hongfei couldn't help but think about this question.

Later, in order to make himself feel better and to make himself feel at ease, Jiang Hongfei said to himself: "It's wrong for me to think like this."

"I can't think about this problem from the perspective of the Zhao family. I have to look at it from the perspective of all Han people, and even from the perspective of all human beings living in this area."

"Yes. In this process, I robbed the country and the people of the Zhao Song Dynasty and robbed a large number of Zhao women."

"But I didn't let this disaster spill over."

"When the Jingkang Shame occurred in history, the Jin people plundered all the food in Bianliang City, causing countless people to starve to death in Bianliang City at that time. Later, because Bianliang City was besieged for a long time, food became increasingly scarce, prices soared, and the poor were forced to collect the remains of people who starved to death everywhere. Corpses, living by cutting up corpses to eat. They not only ate them themselves, but also sold them, with a price tag of 850 coins per pound. "

"And I not only did not rob the ordinary people in Bianliang City of their food, but also exempted them from debt, distributed land and food to them. Because there was not enough food, I also specially asked people to transport a large amount of food from Hebei, Hedong, and Tianshan under my control. Under my governance, no one in Bianliang City starved to death, and the human tragedy that violated human ethics in history did not happen. "

"When the Jingkang Shame occurred in history, the Jin people extorted women. Zhao Huan ordered it, and Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe took care of it. A large number of civilian women were captured and then presented to the Jin people by Zhao Huan and his ministers. After they were harmed by the Jin people, they were taken to the Jin Kingdom as gifts and sold, and even used to exchange cattle and sheep. "

"And I strictly ordered anyone to burn and kill The looting allowed most of the women in Bianliang to escape this disaster. "

"When the Jingkang Shame occurred in history, the Jin people extorted and plundered Bianliang. All the valuables were taken back to the Jin Kingdom by the Jin people, making the Jin Kingdom stronger. Then the Jin people invaded the Han people again, and the war continued. The people have been persecuted by the war. "

"And I just eliminated those rich and unkind officials, wealthy families, and gentry families. The money I got will be used to govern the country, build the country, and benefit the people. "

"In short, I didn't let the Jin people take away a lot of Han people's wealth and women, and stopped the northern barbarians from repeatedly going south to bully the Han people. "

"Also, I put out the war in the shortest time, I let the areas I ruled rebuild as soon as possible, and I let the people under my rule recuperate. . "

"Historically, at the end of Emperor Huizong's reign, the population of the Song Dynasty was about 110 million. When Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were captured by the Jin people, the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. From north to south, there was no chicken or dog left, forcing the Song Dynasty to move south. Later, Kublai Khan broke the Song capital Lin'an and destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty. The people in thousands of miles were almost killed. The survivors, according to the household registration, were only one in a thousand. By the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the population was less than 10 million. A total of more than 86 million people were lost, with a loss rate of 91%. "

"I will definitely end the war in a very short time and return a paradise to the people. It will not be like after the Jingkang Shame, where there was scorched earth, war, and turmoil everywhere. It was not easy for people to survive, and nine out of ten houses in China were empty. "

"Moreover, I will unify the Western Xia, the Jin Kingdom, and the grassland tribes to eliminate the hidden dangers once and for all. "

"As for the royal daughters and clan daughters of the Zhao Song Dynasty? ”

“When the Jingkang Shame happened in history, the Jin people ordered, for convenience, that “women who have obeyed the soldiers of the Great Jin should immediately change their Han makeup and turn to the Jin makeup; those who are already pregnant should follow the doctor’s instructions and have abortions.” In the end, all pregnant women, including Zhao Gou’s Queen Xing Bingyi, Princess Yun Zhu Fengying, Princess Xunde Zhao Fujin, and Princess Roufu Zhao Huanhuan, were forced to fall off their horses and have abortions. ”

“And here, such a thing will definitely not happen. ”

“When the Jingkang Shame happened in history, Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun, Zhao Jiner and other imperial princesses and many daughters of the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty, as well as a large number of civilian daughters, were killed by the Jin people. ”

“And here, they all live well and will live well in the future. They will never end up like in history. ”

“I destroyed the Zhao Song Dynasty. How can it be compared to the Jin people destroying the Zhao Song Dynasty? "

"I didn't create another Jingkang Shame at all. I was just completing the great unification. This is the labor pain before dawn."

"Besides, let me say something hypocritical. If we don't deal with the royal family and clan members of the Zhao Song Dynasty in this way, how should we deal with them? Should we kill them all? Isn't that more cruel?"

"If the royal family and clan members of the Zhao Song Dynasty were allowed to choose between killing them all and letting them live like they do now, they would probably choose the latter, right? Otherwise, they can choose the former by themselves."

Jiang Hongfei looked at the royal and clan daughters of the Zhao Song Dynasty lying on the bed, and thought to himself: "It's already like this, why should I think about these useless things? At most, I will be nicer to the royal and clan members of the Zhao Song Dynasty in the future. "

Speaking of which, Jiang Hongfei cannot be blamed for the development of the situation today. Sometimes, if you don't reach a certain level, you don't know how active a woman will be.

It's no exaggeration to say that Jiang Hongfei now feels that he is the prey.

Really.

As long as Jiang Hongfei arrives in the harem, there will be all kinds of romantic encounters.

Pretending to meet by chance, pretending to faint, etc., are not worth mentioning.

Once, Jiang Hongfei was going to take a bath, and two naked palace maids came out of the bucket.

If Jiang Hongfei hadn't reacted quickly, Chen Liqing and Yan Zhengu would have killed them as assassins.

There is no way. For the women in the harem, Jiang Hongfei is everything in their lives. Being favored by Jiang Hongfei is their biggest and luckiest thing.

However, Jiang Hongfei knew very well that for him, these women, whom he could play with whenever he wanted, were only a small part of his life. He had many more important things to do than them, and those things had to be done well, otherwise, he would lose everything he had now, including the women in his harem.

For Jiang Hongfei, the most urgent things recently were two things, one was to destroy the Song army headed by Zhao Gou, and the other was to select officials through the imperial examination.

For the former, Jiang Hongfei had already made arrangements and arranged for generals to do it.

The latter, although seemingly not as important as the former, was actually also very important.

Jiang Hongfei must appease these literati and give them relatively fair promotion channels and places to use their talents, so that they would be willing to serve the Yuan Empire.

In this way, these talents would not cause trouble like those failed students such as Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan.

In fact, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that Jiang Hongfei needs talents and reserves talents.

This is the cornerstone of governing the country.

Especially for a monarch like Jiang Hongfei who is determined to eliminate all threats, talents are definitely indispensable.

To be fair, the Zhao Song Dynasty, especially the Zhao Ji Dynasty, did a good job in education.

This made the Zhao Song Dynasty accumulate tens of thousands of Taixue students.

These are all outstanding talents, and they are the foundation for Jiang Hongfei to rule a larger area in the future.

For this reason, Jiang Hongfei personally inspected Taixue and Biyong.

Jiang Hongfei told these Taixue students the reasons for the demise of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the situation in the Central Plains, the international situation, his dreams, and his desire to make China rise...

It was not until then that these Taixue students knew that Jiang Hongfei was not a bandit who knew nothing, but an extremely knowledgeable person, and a person with great wisdom.

In addition, Jiang Hongfei's overthrow of the Zhao Song Dynasty was not a simple rebellion, but the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty did a very bad job, land annexation, frequent bad policies, and the monarchs were extravagant and greedy, and the people were living in misery.

In addition, Jiang Hongfei also showed everyone his respect for the wise.

Jiang Hongfei personally met with officials of the Imperial College, such as the academic director, the academic recorder, the library supervisor, and the kitchen supervisor, and told them the importance of the Imperial College and the students.

Jiang Hongfei also met with outstanding students such as the academic recorder, the academic supervisor, and the direct student, and personally praised them based on their previous outstanding performance and listened to their suggestions.

Jiang Hongfei also met with more famous students such as Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, and discussed with them the establishment of a new dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Hongfei absolutely showed how much he valued the students.

The key is that in this process, Jiang Hongfei also let these students know himself.

Jiang Hongfei's sincerity was seen by the students.

Jiang Hongfei's emphasis on the students also made the students very excited.

Jiang Hongfei also said that this time, 3,000 people will be specially recruited, and those who pass the exam will be trained immediately and then take up their posts.

What is even more admirable is that Jiang Hongfei did not completely deny the Zhao Song Dynasty, but instead carried forward the past and the future, carried forward the tradition, valued new people, and started reforms. He was resolute but not conservative, steady but daring to innovate, and he showed everyone his ability and courage.

All that Jiang Hongfei did made even the Tai students such as Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, who had repeatedly written to Zhao Huan before, look forward to Jiang Hongfei, the new emperor.

More importantly, Jiang Hongfei was not as immature and stupid as Zhao Huan. All the policies formulated by him and his ministers were well-founded and full of political wisdom.

This made many people begin to believe that Jiang Hongfei was the one who could complete the great unification and he could eliminate the wars throughout the Zhao Song Dynasty.

But then again.

After all, the Zhao Song Dynasty existed for nearly two hundred years, and it valued literati and did not punish doctors. There must be people who were loyal to the Zhao Song Dynasty, and even people who wanted to help the Zhao family restore the country.

Wu Ge was such a person.

Wu Ge was from Huayang, Huazhou, and the seventh-generation grandson of Wu Tingzuo, a founding hero of the Song Dynasty. He was studious and liked to talk about military affairs since he was a child. Because he failed the imperial examination, Wu Ge went to the Jingyuan Army to serve as a soldier, and later worked his way up to Bingyi Lang to handle the affairs of the Jinglüe Division.

Wu Ge was also a captive of Jiang Hongfei, but he was not convinced by Jiang Hongfei like Yao Youzhong and other generals, and finally chose to serve Jiang Hongfei. Instead, after Jiang Hongfei abolished the Zhao Song Dynasty, he resolutely chose to retire, and then began to plan to help the Zhao family restore the country.

Wu Ge and like-minded people secretly recruited soldiers through various secret channels.

After learning about this, a famous scholar named "Yi Wei" led more than 80 people including Cui Dingchen and Zhou Huchen, two Jinshi, to apply for the job.

Not long after, students Wu Zhu, Zhu Mengshuo, Zuo Shi, Zhang Zhizhang, Ma Xianke, Wu Zhong, Xu Wei and others came to apply for the job.

After more than a month of planning and connection, Wu Ge gathered more than 2,000 dead soldiers.

Wu Ge and his team secretly trained these dead soldiers and strictly managed and restrained them.

Later, this matter developed to the point where they got the support of some former Song officials.

These former Song officials came forward to mediate and provided Wu Ge and his team with Qishengyuan as their secret base.

Later, Wu Ge and his team learned that Zhao Gou had gathered more than 100,000 troops and planned to cooperate with Zhao Gou to rescue the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty and revive the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, although Wu Ge and his team were very careful, Jiang Hongfei soon learned about their actions.

This is very simple.

After capturing Bianliang City, especially after capturing all the royal and clan members of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Jiang Hongfei had all the gates of Bianliang City opened, allowing people to enter and exit freely.

But this does not mean that Jiang Hongfei relaxed his vigilance.

The fact is just the opposite. Jiang Hongfei asked Zhu Gui and Yan Qing to spread out all the spies, not only to monitor everything in Bianliang City, but also to send spies to the former Song officials.

——In fact, even the officials of the Yuan Empire had spies around them to monitor their every move.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei knew everything about what Wu Ge and his men were doing.

The reason why Jiang Hongfei did not take action was that he wanted to see who was the man and who was the ghost?

Later, many former Song officials reported Wu Ge and his men to Jiang Hongfei and relevant departments.

Seeing that so many people knew about Wu Ge and his men's actions, Jiang Hongfei ordered to close the net.

Just when Wu Ge and his men were planning to kill their wives and children, burn their houses, attack the palace, and capture Jiang Hongfei, the Jinyiwei, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Jiang Hongfei's personal guards took action together and captured Wu Ge and his men.

——At that time, Wu Ge and his men did not even have weapons and armor, and could only watch helplessly as they were captured.

Someone suggested that Jiang Hongfei confiscate the homes and clans of Wu Ge and his men as a warning to others.

Jiang Hongfei rejected this suggestion, and instead organized the two thousand people into an army and sent them to the front line of Jinzhou to resist the Jin people.

Before Wu Ge and his men were taken away, Jiang Hongfei said: "I hope you can atone for your sins instead of betraying the nation."

Then, the Jinyiwei took the letters and documents they had searched from the Qishengyuan to the Daqing Hall.

Seeing this, Mei Zhili, Lu Haowen and many other Song officials were sweating all over their backs, and some of them with poor psychological quality almost collapsed to the ground.

Why do you think?

Because there must be evidence of their collusion with Wu Ge in rebellion.

As long as Jiang Hongfei has people check, they will not only lose their heads, but also have their families confiscated and their clans interrogated. At worst, Jiang Hongfei will be exiled to the border.

Just when many people thought that a bloody storm would come soon, Jiang Hongfei said lightly: "Burn it."

Everyone present knew that Jiang Hongfei was learning from Liu Xiu, Cao Cao, Xiao Daocheng, Zhou Zu and others to use the method of burning letters to win over the hearts of the people and make them work for the Yuan Empire.

Although this is hard to escape the suspicion of showmanship, it can indeed play a role in winning over the hearts of the people.

For example, at the moment, seeing Jiang Hongfei's imperial demeanor, not to mention those participants who were almost scared, grateful to Jiang Hongfei for letting them escape this disaster, even those who did not participate in this matter, whether they were trained by the Yuan Empire itself, the former Liao Dynasty, or the former Zhao Song Dynasty, all admired Jiang Hongfei to the point of prostrating themselves!

Many people began to be truly loyal to Jiang Hongfei and the Yuan Empire from this moment on.

In fact, they were all foxes of a thousand years, and everyone understood that Jiang Hongfei's burning of the evidence of their involvement in the rebellion did not mean that Jiang Hongfei did not know who was involved, but only that Jiang Hongfei did not want to pursue the matter any further and wanted to let them go.

But this was enough.

Because everyone knew that if they did not repent, they would settle the old and new accounts together next time.

At this moment, countless people thought in their hearts: "What a wise king!"

When all the letters and documents were reduced to ashes, His Highness suddenly burst out with a thunderous voice: "Long live the emperor!!!"
