Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 265 Domineering
"Huh...?" Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him. "Go on."

"Yes, Your Majesty, since the King of Qi has the ability and territory, he doesn't have to worry about money, food, soldiers and horses, especially Zhao Dezhao, who has territory and ambitions..."

"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime..."

Such words are a huge death penalty. Even He Tingwei, the emperor's closest minister, is covered in cold sweat after speaking.

"Hmph, you're not thinking far enough." Zhao Kuangyin snorted disdainfully.

"Pass down the decree, saying that I will reward Zhao Dezhao for meritorious deeds. I will reward Zhao Dezhao with a thousand taels of gold, 10 taels of silver, and one of my royal gowns. Order him to continue to be diligent and love the people, and to help the neighboring cities and counties a lot."

"Oh...accept the decree."

Zhao Kuangyin closed his eyes slightly, he knew best, none of the princes of the Song Dynasty inside and outside were fuel-efficient lamps.Zhao Dezhao's ability to earn the feudal domain of the foreign vassal is also considered his ability.

The officials below each have their own support, which is normal.
What's more, if Zhao Dezhao can really do it in the north, it will be of great benefit to the fight against Khitan.

Zhao Kuangyin pretended to be indecisive in court during the day, but announced his will in the court, which was actually planned long ago.

No one can throw their elbows in time, and they can maintain the good habit of the ministers to fight when things happen.

As soon as he went to court the next day, news spread that the emperor had praised Zhao Dezhao.

For a while, the whole house praised the mighty words of the emperor's kindness. After all, you have no jokes, and what he says is what he says.

It's just that the ministers of King Qi's faction were secretly pleasantly surprised, thinking they had won a game.

The Jin party is very frustrated.

As for the neutral faction, they know their own joys and sorrows, and no one understands them anymore.

Zhao Dezhao was also very happy when he received the gold and silver, as well as the Gunlong Royal Robe.

Although it is time-traveled, the feelings for relatives in this life are not deep, but there are still feelings in the body and heart of the main body.Even if it is bound to collapse in the future, that's when it comes to an end.

These days, due to Fang Zhengqi's suppression of bandits everywhere, Fenzhou is becoming more and more safe.

In the past few days, Zhao Dezhao's feeling became more and more obvious.

Compared with when I first came here, there have been great changes. Although it is not as good as the capital, the progress is still obvious.

Recently, more than 2 people have been admitted in Fenzhou successively. Zhao Dezhao has arranged food, drink and accommodation for them all, and allocated wasteland for them to reclaim, without paying taxes for two years.

And more than 600 people were recruited among them to join the army. Now Zhao Dezhao's army has about 10 people. Except half of them are stationed in Qinzhou, these people eat and drink every day, which is not a small number.

Fortunately, there was still a lot of food in the city, and with this seizure and the food and grass from nearby bandits, I expected that we would be able to survive this year.

Zhao Dezhao came to find Fang Zhengqi, wanting to take advantage of his health to learn a few tricks from him that can be used on the battlefield, not to kill the enemy, but to save his life.

Shi Yuanliang is now training soldiers every day, and he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. Although Fang Zhengqi wants to help, although his martial arts skills are high, he doesn't know how to teach them very much, and his temper is also violent.

Shi Yuanliang is different, his side ability is to improve the comprehension ability of the soldiers trained under him, and his intelligence and endurance are higher than Fang Zhengqi, and he is willing to teach the soldiers.

The two gesticulated in the courtyard for a while, and Zhao Dezhao felt that he had indeed made progress, and continued to practice enthusiastically.

Suddenly a person ran in in a panic, it was Sima Wei Han from Qinzhou.

Sima is an official name, which is roughly equivalent to the county magistrate in the county seat, but Qinzhou is a big city, and the city guard is His Royal Highness instead of the county magistrate, so this position is not called county magistrate, but Sima.

This Sima Wei Han made a contribution in escorting the captives to Beijing last time.His ability is not bad, so he won't make mistakes.

Zhao Dezhao took him with him.

"Your Highness! It's not good. Those Northern Han people whom Cao often contacted before have entered the city again. They were fine just now, and now they have been beaten in the center of the city. Can you see if some soldiers were transferred from General Shi. "

Zhao Dezhao curled his lips, "General Shi's training is a big deal, don't bother him, General Jiang and I will go and have a look."

Unexpectedly, someone with no eyesight came to provoke him, Zhao Dezhao swayed his arms, and went to the center of the city, Fang Zhengqi followed obediently.

When Wei Han saw Fang Zhengqi, his heart was half relieved. Although the few Northern Han people who came here were all tall and strong, they were shorter than Fang Zhengqi.

"Wei Sima, do you know what relationship these Northern Han people have with the Cao family?"

"Your Highness, as far as I know, we have no trade relations with the Northern Han Dynasty. Originally, the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to establish a treaty port with us on the border, but,,,"

"But the original General Cao Xi didn't allow it at the beginning. He just allowed the nobles of the Northern Han Dynasty to send some people in to barter with us after a while."

It turned out to be like this, if there is no profit, it will be early, Caoxi must be profitable.

But no matter what, you are just a fool who relies on relatives, and you actually stretched your hand to such a far city to earn the money I should earn.

At the next glance, Zhao Dezhao saw the Northern Han soldiers and the horses they were holding.

Upon seeing the horse, Zhao Dezhao's eyes lit up immediately.

In addition to the main military camp in Fenzhou City, although there are also a few horses.But the total number is only a hundred and ten horses, and it is difficult to even rent a patrol team, and the breed of horses is also very poor.

But these horses...

I saw a few men in simple clothes, each riding a horse, and leading five or six good horses. The horses were loaded with all kinds of rare and miscellaneous goods.

These horses are all southern horses, which can carry and run well, unlike the local rough horses, which are not many good at running.

Zhao Dezhao rolled his eyes and had an idea.

At this time, the few Northern Han people on the street had once again fought with the surrounding Han people.

The Han people gathered around a dozen people, but they were all knocked to the ground by these four or five people.

"The Han people are too weak. I am a Northern Han, a warrior." The Northern Han in the lead laughed triumphantly when they saw that none of the Han could fight.

When he saw Fang Zhengqi, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, seeing that Fang Zhengqi was taller than all of them, but looking again, there were no Han soldiers around Fang Zhengqi, so he immediately felt relieved.

Zhao Dezhao still didn't have enough people. Some time ago, Fang Zhengqi led 2000 soldiers to suppress bandits everywhere.

Shi Yuanliang trained recruits on the school grounds.

There are only other Song cavalry left, and 40 of them are guarding the city gate.The remaining 10 are guarding His Royal Highness's Mansion.

So Zhao Dezhao has gotten used to not bringing soldiers around.

"You Northern Han people, what are you doing here in Fenzhou? Why are you beating my people?"

The northern Han people in the lead looked at Zhao Dezhao and then at Fang Zhengqi, and said, "We are here to make a deal with the Cao family. Unexpectedly, the people here are too impolite, they don't give us directions, and make jokes." us."
