Chapter 34 Controlling Wang Zaixing
Yingluo smiled and said unhurriedly, "I naturally know that the words of the three old people in front of the officials have weight, so I rely on you so much."
"What's more... we still have the Supreme Emperor, don't we? Now that the Supreme Emperor is in Kaifeng, as long as the Supreme Emperor sends a letter to the officials to commend me for my meritorious service in recruiting and surrendering the rebels, and then he can make me a general, isn't it justifiable?"
Li Gang pondered for a moment, and then said seriously, "It's not difficult to ask the Supreme Emperor to write a letter to the officials. What's difficult is to give you the military power! How can a woman command the army in this world?"
Zongze also nodded in agreement, "If you want to be justified, this army must be in my name. As for how to deploy troops and how to use them, as long as you give reasonable reasons, I will follow you."
"My foster father keeps his word!"
"I never break promises to others!"
Zhao Yingluo then drew a sketch on rice paper with a pen based on her geographical memory of later generations, marking some important towns and mountains and rivers on it.
"Now the Jin people occupy the north of the three towns, and invade Xingzhou, Handan and other places from time to time. To the east are Liu Yu's puppet Qi. This means that everything north of the Yellow River is a war-torn place. I intend to train these tens of thousands of horses. After that, settle them in Chanzhou and let them serve the imperial court there."
The three old men looked at the sketch and nodded. As a strategic location, Chanzhou was responsible for protecting the two capitals.
Zhao Yingluo continued to explain, "In this way, we can establish a line of defense in the area south of the Yellow River to resist the intrusion of the Jin soldiers and the Puppet Qi. As long as it is used well, the golden thieves will not dare to cross the Yellow River."
"Going further, once we have strong soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty and have the power to counterattack, we can go east along the banks of the Yellow River to attack the Puppet Qi first. After the Puppet Qi is destroyed, we can reorganize our forces and set out from Hanzhong to regain Taiyuan and other important towns. Once both wings are owned by the Song Dynasty, how can the Jin people gain a foothold in Hebei?"
Zhao Yingluo's words aroused the ambitions of the two old men Li Gang and Zongze.
Zongze laughed loudly and said, "At that time, I give the order, and a million troops will cross the river, march directly to Yanjing, recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and fulfill Taizu's long-cherished wish is just around the corner."
Lu Haowen muttered in his heart: I'm afraid Her Majesty the Queen gave the order! "So, the three old men can still get rid of the matter of persuading the Supreme Emperor to write letters to the officials."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They were already familiar with the strategy of convincing the Supreme Emperor.
What does the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji need most?Safety!Still safe!As long as his safety can be guaranteed, he can write and draw safely in the palace, and he can have a few more concubines to create people, he will agree to any conditions.
The three old men used this usual method to successfully make Zhao Ji obediently send a letter to his son.
Zhao Yingluo did not pay attention to the subsequent movements of these three old men, but focused on rectifying Wang Zaixing's tens of thousands of people.
Those who are dawdling will be eliminated, those who are disobedient to discipline will be eliminated, and those who are timid and coward will be eliminated.
After some weight loss, Wang Zaixing's troops were reduced to less than [-].
Later, Zhao Yingluo broke into pieces the private soldiers she had recruited from farmers and mixed them into the 3 people.
The euphemistic name is to assist training, but in fact, these 1000 people are used to supervise 3 people.
After all, Wang Zaixing was from a rough background, and it would take time for them to be completely loyal to him.
