Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days. Although Canglang is beautiful, the two princesses are also a little annoyed after so many days. It is rare that the clouds and rains are stored in the past two days, so they want to go out for a walk. But if they go out with great fanfare, not only will they

This caused uneasiness to the people and caused a lot of trouble out of thin air. Zhao Qi decided to chariot lightly and arranged only two cars and sedans for the princess and the palace maids who accompanied him to ride, and he rode a horse with him.

The emperor wanted to travel in confinement, which made him very busy. He knew that the official's temper could not be stopped, and the large group of guards would definitely make him displeased. He could only discuss with Zhao Zhong and send out six skilled skills.

The inner guards were intimately escorted the guards and arranged a large number of people to change their clothes and mingle with them to protect the crowd. At the same time, they also notified Liu Zi'an to arrange troops at key points, and once there was a change, they could quickly dispatch troops to reinforce and rescue the siege.

After some preparation, Zhao Qiong, under the arrangement of Jianxi, left the mansion from the corner gate, walked on a sparsely crowded walkway, and circled around to get on the main road. With a brief look, he found the commanding heights and the crowd around him.

The figures of the guards, and the rider next to him, Jianxi's face was tense and his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, like a toy dog ​​with a clockwork tightening. Once he found something wrong, he would pounce.

Go up.

Zhao Qi was a little funny about the guards' performance as if they were facing a great enemy. This era is not as developed as modern information. Everyone is familiar with the appearance of the head of state. Although they have never seen a real person, they are familiar with the faces in various media every day.

There are not many people who have seen the true appearance of ancient emperors. Even the portraits are not visible to everyone, let alone what they see is carefully PS by the painters. They are either heroic or elegant.

It is like a legendary saint, only he knows how many of them can be seen, so there is no need to worry about being recognized and attracted to the onlookers.

In order to welcome his arrival, Suzhou City has been severely cracked down on several occasions and has good social security. Besides, although I became the emperor, my foundation is still there. Moreover, the two princesses in the car are not vegetarians, they are all good at kung fu.

, A powerful master who has seen blood and killed people, would not fight against them even if he wanted to kill his two 'tigresses'. Even if he was close to him, it would not be easy.

Zhao Qiong is now an emperor, but he is used to observing the surrounding environment from a military perspective. He looks around and sees where to set up ambush, where to set up barricades... etc. But this time he suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon.

The big girls and young wives on the street seemed to have changed their tastes together, and no longer wore wide clothes and big sleeves skirts, but narrow sleeves and waist-hugging short shirts and knee-length battle skirts, similar to military uniforms.

Zhao Qi was so happy when he looked at various improved versions of "army uniforms". After Zhao Xin and Zhe Meiluan entered the palace, they used to dance swords and guns every day. What the tomboy who marched on horseback was the most unaccustomed to was not food, drinks.

, but the clothes they wear. Although the wide-sleeved long clothes look beautiful, they are cumbersome and have difficulty moving. The two of them use their intelligence and change their style according to the military uniform.

It is said that this is a traitor. But the emperor Zhao Qiong was enlightened and the queen knew that the two girls were born like the emperor and grew up in the military, so they naturally became accustomed to the military uniforms with short-sleeved shirts, so they turned a blind eye.

I don't care about it anymore. At first, it was only limited to wearing inside and not known to the outside world. But this time they went with the emperor to the south. Zhao Qi always met with the military uniform. When the two of them accompanied him, they put on their own designs.

Only then can the outside world know about the military uniform.

'The King of Chu loves thin waists. Most of them starve to death in the palace.' The royal nobles' food, clothing, housing and transportation have always been eye-catching, and they also lead the fashion trends in this world. The two imperial concubines were released in military uniforms, which naturally attracted attention, and everyone immediately imitated them.

.Extended and improved, and became popular in Jiangnan for a time, becoming the ladies of noble families, and the children of officials and officials competed to wear it, which led to this trend among the people.

Zhao Qi looked at the restaurants and teahouses on the street again, and saw a large sign standing in front of many teahouses, with the letter 'The famous speaker in the capital coming to our store to perform'. The programs were also "The Legend of Loyalty and Martyrs" and "The Jing Kang Annihilation".

"The Story of the North", "The Battle of Longshan", "Ping Zhongshan" and so on, which also reflect the tragic disasters caused by the Jurchens' southern invasion to the Central Plains and the Song Dynasty during the late Xuanhe period and the Jingkang period. At the same time, Suzhou's major tiles were all caused.

Zi, the theater is also performing repertoires that reflect this period.

"Swear to kill the golden thief!"

"Plant Liaodong and attack Huanglong!"

"The Northern Expedition to Destroy Jin and welcome the King of Liao back!"

"Enter the army and kill the enemy and avenge the shame!" ...Eight out of the people, eight out of ten, had red eyes, angry faces, and were ready to swear. If a Jurchen person appeared in front of him, I'm afraid everyone would rush to swallow him alive and peel him alive.

!

Listening to the bold words of the 'audience' and watching them all indignantly, the emperor chuckled. Seeing Xi, he knew that the emperor's plan had succeeded. As early as the New Year, he ordered the genius in the capital and famous actors.

Rehearsed a group of repertoires that reflected the invasion of Jurchens and then went south to perform. These people's acting skills themselves are good, and many of them have experienced being kidnapped by Jurchens to travel north. Their performances are in love and sincere, very

Go famous in Jiangnan quickly.

In fact, in this ancient times when transportation and communication technology were not developed, information transmission was very difficult. The people far away in Jiangnan did not personally experience the barbaric and cruel nature of the Jurchens and their various evil crimes, but mostly

There are occasional rumors, so it is difficult to understand how much harm the Jurchens caused to the country and nation. But now they feel the cruelty of the war and the tyranny of the Jurchens, as well as the shame suffered by the entire nation from the performances of these philosophers.

At the beginning of the debate with the war, Zhao Qi realized that verbal battles could not be concluded. Instead, it was not as simple and intuitive as this performance, making it easier to understand, fully mobilizing the people's hatred towards the Jurchens, and allowing

They understood that blindly seeking peace would only lead to the end of losing the city and land, enslaved by them, and exterminate the clan and the seeds. Only by completely defeating them can the Jurchens be eliminated to enter the Central Plains and bring about a stable life now.

Throughout the history of Chinese cities, there are rich cities throughout the dynasties and places of prosperity for culture. Suzhou has always had a cultural tradition of respecting religion and culture. Suzhou is called a paradise on earth. Richness is its foundation, culture is its representation, and harmony is

Its essence.

People like to live peaceful days and are tired of war. Now the Jurchens have finally been defeated. Everyone wants to get rid of their troops and return to the field, but the emperor seems to have not fought enough. If they frequently make war remarks, they will only be considered by scholars and the people.

A king who was a warrior would respond passively. However, the Song Dynasty had more taxes and more Jiangnan, and the northern population suffered a lot of losses in the war, and soldiers also needed to be recruited from Jiangnan. Without their cooperation, wars would be a mistake in the future.

Now, with this wind of "revenge and shame" blowing all over the country, the crowd was already excited, and the sound of war was everywhere, and at the same time, it gradually spread from the people to the scholars and the officialdom. Talking about war and martial arts gradually became "fashionable"

Topics, from school to wine table, people are talking about the Northern Expedition everywhere, and various versions of "Ping Jin Ce" have also appeared on Zhao Qiong's desk, including officials and great scholars who talked about peace in the past. Now the voice of the Lord's peace has been

Drowning in the voice of asking for battle, the upper and lower levels finally unified the voice, and Zhao Qi completed the preparations for public opinion...

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the climate turned cooler, and the Shengjia continued to travel south to Hangzhou. At this time, Zhao Qi became more nervous. Now the war mobilization has been carried out step by step. He has met with officials from various prefectures and generals of the Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan Road, and has been garrisoned.

They informed the peace talks with the Jurchens. Now the Jurchens are tough and still demand the restoration of the "peace agreement" reached during the Jingkang period, not only to pay tribute and surrender, but also to cede the three towns.

Zhao Qiong clearly stated his attitude at this moment. He would not agree to pay tribute and cede the land. He dreamed of cedeing the land. Once the peace talks broke down, he would prepare for war. He used force to recover the states behind Youzhou Mountain and force the Jurchens to release them back to the King of Liao.

.He also warned officials that whenever they fight, the whole country would enter a period of military control. No matter who makes trouble in the rear, acts of shaking the morale of the military, or acts of treason, those who passively respond to the imperial edicts will be severely punished and will never be lenient.

Zhao Qi then ordered all transfer departments to escort the autumn tax to Beijing before October, and all warehouse departments transferred grain into Hebei; the Fushu Department secretly completed the local military preparation mobilization, entered a state of war, accepted recruitment at any time, and implemented strict strict local governments.

Monitoring, strengthen public security management, and punish those who commit crimes and take advantage of the situation during the war. Fire will never be allowed to catch fire in the backyard.

Hangzhou's wealth is basically the foundation of Kaifeng's wealth. After Mingzhou is further opened, there are even more big businessmen. These people call for wind and rain in the business world and can influence a country's economy. Of course, Zhao Qiong cannot underestimate it. Next, he takes time.

He met with the great merchants and gentry in Hangzhou and made an impromptu speech on the rich country and strong soldiers.

Zhao Qiong talked about the Jurchens' invasion not long ago in the south, which showed that he had never broken out of the vicious circle of history in all dynasties. An important reason was that time had wiped out the sense of crisis of the country and soldiers. He told everyone that the national destiny of the Song Dynasty showed that our country was rich and the military was strong.

Material foundation, but a country is rich and not necessarily a strong military. With only a strong economic foundation, without the ability to transform economic strength into national defense strength, it can only be controlled by others and has no dignity and status.

Although the wealth of the Song Dynasty was high, it was almost unrelated to national defense strength. The wealth of the Song Dynasty was basically exchanged for the export of silk, tea and other things. It could not be converted into strong national defense strength, and the army could not take these things.

Go to war. Only by adhering to peaceful development, effectively enhancing the sense of crisis, actively cultivating the spirit of martial arts, and building a strong army can we protect the wealth in our hands and create more wealth!

The emperor's words resonated among the people. Now that the port is opened, the navy will take the lead, opening up a new channel for them and clearing the pirates along the route, so that their fleets can travel safely, so they expressed their willingness to contribute to future wars...
