Chapter 180 The Prince Returns to the House
Half a month later, Song Qing took people to the last stop of the inspection, Yanmen Pass.
The Yanmen Pass is an important gateway to the Great Wall, with a strong terrain. It is said that every spring, the wild goose fly to the north, hold the reed leaves, and fly to Yanmen for a long time until the leaves fall before they can pass. Therefore, there is a saying that "Yanmen Mountain, during the geese fly".
Although it has not yet entered winter, you can still feel the cold wind in the north of the desert when standing at the closing of the Yanmen.
Not far from Yanmen is Shuozhou, one of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which was ceded by Shi Jingyu to Liao.
Lin Chong and Han Shizhong did not follow on this trip, because there were too many things waiting for them to deal with in their jurisdiction, so only Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong, who took the initiative to follow Song Qing.
Yang Yizhong's father and two brothers have been killed in Linzhou. He asked to be transferred to Yue Fei's tent without the idea of going to Linzhou.
Looking at the endless desert plain outside the gate, Song Qing's heart fluctuated. It used to be the land of my Han family, but now it is at the feet of the aliens. Sooner or later, I will take them all back and turn them into the homes of our Han people again.
Yue Fei seemed to be able to see through Song Qing's mind and said in a low voice, "Does Wang Shang want to take back the land of Yanyun? Fly willing to be the vanguard of the king and restore the land of our Han family"
Song Qing nodded, then shook it again and said, "I remember that a general in ancient times said that the Xiongnu had not been destroyed, why did you think it was a family? Those aliens living in the desert grassland are always thinking about the great rivers and mountains of our Han people, so if we want to live in peace for a long time, we must completely eliminate them and even turn them into our people."
"It's easy to launch a war, but you should know that the war is not only the heroism of the soldiers, the strategy of the generals, but also the comprehensive strength behind the war. With the heroism of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu had to escape to the sky, but the people's livelihood in China are also about to be disabled."
"So your task here is not only to protect the city from alien invasion, but also to assist the localities to do a good job in production. When our overall strength goes up, it is time for us to recover the land."
Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong, as young generals, have belligerent blood flowing in their bones. They are stationed here without the idea of preparing for war and recovering the lost land.
But after listening to Song Qing's analysis, both of them had a deeper understanding of the war. Junxin was happy and nodded sincerely.
After inspecting the border defense, Song Qing led his troops back to Jinan. With the occupation of Hebei, the center of Liangshan's regime was bound to move south, but Song Qing's home was still in Jinan. And Song Qing also doesn't want to put the center of the regime in Kaifeng.
The terrain there is too low, there is no natural barrier, and when the flood season comes, it is easy for water to pour into the city, so you have to find another place.
It's a long way to return to Shandong from Daizhou, and Song Qing still has to investigate the state capital he has passed. If there is something wrong, he has to intervene in the management. So this time, it has been almost half a year. When he walks, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and now the autumn leaves are all over the ground.
Today, there are only 5,000 guards, 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 soldiers following Song Qing. In addition to being scattered all over the country, another 100,000 elites were stationed in Kaifeng under the leadership of Guan Sheng and Qin Ming.
Kaifeng does not belong to Hebei, but Song Qing does not intend to return it to Zhao Huan. It can't be said that we will develop south based on this in the future!
Although he did not want to alarm the people, the news of Song Qing's return spread all over the city in the shortest time. When he went out, he was the Duke, and when he came back, he was the prince. The people all felt the happy event of Song Qing.
The streets and alleys are full of colorful lights, and the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys is even more lively than the Spring Festival.
The plaque of Liang Wangfu has been replaced as early as the news came, and a new internal manager came to the Wangfu, that is, Qin Yong, the adoptive father of Xiaoduo's son.
Zhao Huan fled, and with Liang Shicheng showing his merits beside Zhao Huan, Qin Yong asked Song Qing to come to him.
Qin Yong can be said to have made great contributions to Liangshan, so Song Qing agreed to his request and asked him to manage his own royal affairs. No one is more suitable for this kind of thing.
When Song Qing returned to his door, Dou Niang led the whole house to greet him in front of the door. However, among these people, the most eye-catching are the dolls in front of them.
The two maids were in their mother's arms, staring curiously at their father who jumped off the horse and came over. Another son held in the nanny's arms twisted his body uneasily. Obviously, he wanted to go to the ground, but the boy's goal was not to be a father he hadn't seen for half a year, but Yue Yun, who was about to grow into a half-year-year-old child.
In his young heart, a playmate is obviously more important than his father.
Song Qing and Dou Niang nodded, then took his son from the nanny's arms and put him on the ground, allowing him to find Yue Yun.
The child is almost two years old, and although his walking is still a little unstable, if anyone wants to help him, the custody will cause the little guy to get bored. He will lose his temper, and if he will cry and scream. Now he is about to become a king's mansion.
Dou Niang knows the way her husband educates his children, so she does not stop him, but smiles to remind her servants to pay more attention.
At this time, Song Qing had already put two precious women in his arms together. The two little girl didn't waste his love. Unexpectedly, he was not eye-catching at all. Xiao Wanjun even stretched out his little hand to pick Song Qing's short beard. Song Qing couldn't help giggling, and finally couldn't help kissing the faces of the two little babies. Unexpectedly, this caused trouble. The two little girl cried together as if they had made an appointment.
Song Qing coaxed the child and hurriedly returned the child to the Mingyue sister who covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
The family is really happy together, but only Qingzi has no children, so it is inevitable that they feel a little lonely.
Dou Niang held Song Qing's hand and gave him a winke. Although Qingzi is an alien woman, she is not discriminated against at all at home, and being with Dou Niang and other unscheming women has also greatly purified Qingzi's heart. Now she is just a little woman quietly waiting at home for her husband's return.
Song Qing met, reached out and pulled Qingzi, smiled and said, "Are you still used to living here?"
In full view of the public, her husband would greet her concubine first. Qingzi was a little flattered and wanted to kneel down for Song Qing according to Japanese etiquette, but was pulled by Song Qing.
In her ear, Song Qing whispered, "If we work harder, you will also have a baby."
Although this voice can only be heard by two people, it is not difficult to see that she is extremely happy from Qingzi's happy expression.
After Song Qing greeted others again, he entered the house surrounded by everyone.
Song Qing is really grateful to Li Yun now. He seemed to have a hunch that he built such a big mansion for himself, but now it seems that it is also suitable for his identity.
The next few days should have been Song Qing's rare leisure time, but strictly speaking, there was almost no day, because he had to deal with reports from various places every day, so he could only spend half of his time with his wife and children.
Xiao Yueyun was often led by Song Qing to contact military and government affairs. I remember that Yue Yun was also a general in history, but Song Qing hoped that he could be an all-rounder and manage a piece of land for himself in the future.
On this day, Song Qing, sitting in the study, held several secret newspapers from all over the world and couldn't help but stay.
The secret news is not too surprising, but Qin Hui, who has been missing for a long time, has emerged from there, and it is very important for Zhao Huan. It is said that this guy is very good at governing government affairs and economic development.
Now Zhao Huan has been running rapidly in the imperial court in Lin'an with the support of Qin Hui and others.
It is not surprising that the Song Dynasty did not perish so quickly, but the appearance of Qin Hui is very unexpected. I remember that Qin Hui seems to be still a literary champion in history, so it seems reasonable to have such a ability.
It's just that Song Qing always feels that this matter is not that simple, and Qin Hui appeared too timely, right? After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't understand it. I ordered someone to send an order to Cao Zheng to carefully investigate Qin Hui's movements, especially what he had done during his disappearance, who he had contacted, etc.
Song Qing knows Zhao Huan and Zhao Gouren very well. Now he seems to be honest, but as long as he recovers, he will definitely find a way to deal with himself.
I am not stable in Kaifeng, so I must always be highly vigilant against him.
Hebei is generally calm. Under the pressure of Liangshan people, several bandits either disarmed and surrendered or were completely eliminated. Under the organization of some local government, many people have also returned home one after another. It seems that as long as there is no war, although the recovery time in Hebei may be slower, it will not be long.
Wang Qing in Taihang Mountain is also surprisingly honest, but Song Qing will not give him too much time. After a while, he will send troops to destroy him.
Now it seems that the original fireworks in the Song Dynasty seem to have calmed down overnight, and the world seems to be peaceful again. As for what is going on in the dark, I'm afraid only Song Qing knows best.
The Jin Kingdom did not stop. Emperor Wu Qimai felt that the Aguda family was too powerful in Shangjing, and he was in danger of being subverted by them at any time, and the terrain of Shangjing was too remote, which was not conducive to controlling the huge empire.
So he tried his best to move the capital from Shangjing South to Zhongjing and renamed it Zhongdu.
These are official statements. Song Qing is convinced that Wu Qi's death of Song's heart is not dead, and he must be in his plan to destroy himself.
Song Qing has been secretly reported to know the cause of Ke's stepmother's death, so Song Qing also understood why Wu Qimai hated himself so much.
It's obvious that he can't stretch out his neck and wait for him to kill because he is his father-in-law, right? Moreover, Jin Bing entered the customs and targeted him more than him. Therefore, he must extinguish his ambition and even completely lose his ability to attack the Central Plains.
Thinking of this, Song Qing couldn't help but see Ke'er's peerless face.
"Kier, when will you come back to me?"
