The appearance of these new pieces of equipment can boost morale far more than ten million words of morale-boosting words. After inspecting the ghost army, Zhao Kai and others' confidence has greatly increased!

But at the same time, they also all understand the reality. After all, this is still an era when cold weapons are prevalent. These most basic firearms still have various flaws. Their biggest function is to enrich tactics, but they are not fatal enough or enough to change the entire battle situation.

, these firearms alone are still difficult to compete with the defeated Jin army. This will definitely be a hard battle, the bayonet will be red, and many people will die.

So, now is definitely not the time to celebrate.

After leaving the military camp, Zhao Kai separated from Li Qi. In Da Nei, which he entered directly from the Jinglong Gate in the north, he still had many things to arrange. Fortunately, the palace where all the ministers now live can make arrangements at any time.

Work.

After saying goodbye to Yue Fei and others, Li Qi walked slowly from Ma Xing Street.

In Bianliang City, Maxing Street is the longest street, and it is also the concentration of shops in Tokyo. It is better than Xiangguo Temple, which only opens its doors every few days. In the past, Maxing Street was very lively and prosperous no matter day or night.

Yes, but now, it is only the evening, and 90% of the shops are already closed, maybe they have not been open all the time.

However, there are people coming and going on the street, but they are not the talented and beautiful people in the past.

"hurry up."

"Those behind, hurry up and follow us. We must transport these stones to Beicheng today."

...

Every time Li Qi walked for a while, he would encounter some soldiers or militiamen driving donkey carts or ox carts passing by in a hurry, without even having the time to salute him.

Since the news of the fall of Daming Mansion reached the capital, the people all understood that the Jin army was about to attack Kaifeng, and this battle was inevitable. Therefore, the entire Bianliang City can now be said to be a city-wide mobilization

, in addition to soldiers, many people have also been organized to join in, because now the shops are closed, not to mention agriculture. Even the imperial court has become a specialized working group, except for protecting Kaifeng, there is no one to do other things.

Processing, if you don’t do this, you have nothing to do.

And Zhao Kai also sent nearly 70% of his officials to divert the people on the streets. Anyway, at this time, most departments in the government had nothing to do, and they couldn't fight a war, so Zhao Kai simply asked them to mobilize the people.

It’s better than living a free life. Nowadays, it’s rare to see homeless people sleeping on the street. Everyone works together, like a family.

But the reason why the people are so active in facing this upcoming catastrophe is all thanks to Zhao Kai's pioneering performance. The first thing he did when he took office was not to win over hundreds of officials, not to seek fame and fortune, not to point fingers.

It was to appease the people and solve their food and housing problems. For this reason, the Times Weekly of the Song Dynasty also published a series of measures taken by Zhao Kai and Li Qi.

The content said that Zhao Kai distributed the food in the palace to the people and soldiers, and that he and the concubines in the palace only ate simple meals. How did he organize officials to give up their houses for the people to live in, and how did Li Qi take out all the things he had in Zuixianju?

The story of preparing food with money is vividly described.

In addition, the refugees described everything they saw that day, and Kaifeng soldiers and civilians believed it without a doubt. How could such a regent and a prefect of Kaifeng not be supported by the people? The people were willing to follow him.

A regent, obeying their orders.

Not only that, Li Qingzhao did not officially replace Li Qi until today. When she was the editor-in-chief of the Song Dynasty Times Weekly, articles written by her were published in the Song Dynasty Times Weekly. Her articles mainly promoted national integrity.

and patriotic thoughts.

This kind of spiritual food comes at just the right time for the people of Tokyo today.

Everyone in Kaifeng is united as one.

In fact, Li Qi should be the busiest in Kaifeng at this time, but he had to take care of the overall situation, so he left all the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion to Qin Hui. Anyway, the economy is now stagnant, and the Commerce Bureau has nothing to do.

Qin Hui also cherishes this opportunity. This is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. He is a smart man. He has vaguely realized that there must be some ulterior secrets between Li Qi and Zhao Kai. However, he is even more of a

People who are good at seizing opportunities take care of everything in an orderly manner.

.......

No matter how strong his soft power is, he is really vulnerable when it comes to hard power! Li Qi looked at the closed shops and sighed softly. Unknowingly, he came to a loft.

"Dong dong dong!"

Li Qi stood in front of the door and stared for a long time, then got off his horse, stepped forward and gently knocked on the tightly closed door a few times.

"who?"

After a while, a maid's voice came from inside.

"It's me, Li Qi!"

After a moment, the door opened, and the maid saluted: "See you, sir."

"Yes. Is Miss Shishi asleep?"

"Oh, not yet. Sir, please come in quickly."

Li Qi entered the house and waited until the maid informed him. "Li Qi." With a cry full of surprise, a woman walked out quickly, it was Feng Yinu.

Li Qi also walked upstairs, and the two happened to meet in the stairwell.

Because Feng Yinu has been living with Master Li, and Li Qi was too busy to sleep, he never came to see her. However, Feng Yinu is as beautiful as ever. However, such beauty is really undesirable in troubled times.

Simplicity is a good thing.

And Li Qi, who has four beautiful wives, is really Alexander!

Feng Yinu looked at Li Qi with wide eyes, suppressing the excitement in his heart and said: "You---you're here!"

Of course she missed Li Qi very much, but she also knew that Li Qi couldn't have any distractions now, so she didn't blame Li Qi, but felt that she would be satisfied if Li Qi could take the time to see her.

Li Qi naturally understood what Feng Yinu was thinking. He stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said with a smile, "What? You're afraid that I'll leave you!"

Feng Yinu chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid anymore, because you will never do that." At this point, she pulled her face and muttered, "It's not like some people are so ruthless and unjust."

Li Qi frowned and said "hmm".

Feng Yinu curled his lips and said, "If I say something disrespectful, can you not blame me?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "Are you trying to say that the emperor did not take Miss Shishi with him?"

Feng Yinu was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded and said, "The emperor is so heartless that he just asked Taiwei Liang to send a message while he was running away on his own."

Li Qi shook his head and said: "You must understand. He is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor. To leave the capital quietly at this time is already risking the disapproval of the world. If he brings Miss Shishi with him, what will others think?

Even if the emperor wants to, no one else will allow it."

Feng Yinu said: "Oh, I understand." Although she said this, she still despised Song Huizong in her heart. After all, she was a woman and could not think about problems from the same perspective as men.

Li Qi smiled helplessly and asked cautiously: "Is Miss Shishi sad?"

Feng Yinu shook his head and said: "Sister said that she had already looked away. She also said that even if the emperor was willing to take her with him, she would never go with him. She also said --- and said ---."

Li Qi asked curiously: "What else can you say?"

Feng Yinu stopped talking, appearing very hesitant.

Li Qidao: "Is there anything else you can't tell me?"

Feng Yinu hesitated for a moment and said: "Sister also said that the emperor abandoned his subjects at this time and is not worthy of being a king. He is not worthy of being a father."

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, sighed secretly in his heart, and said no more, "Let's go, I'm here today to take you back. The current situation is ever-changing, and you still live with Hong Nu and the others. I really I couldn’t divide my energy and ran in both directions.”

Feng Yinu frowned slightly and said: "But---but sister, she---." Why didn't she want to live with Hong Nu and the others? At least that way she could see Li Qi every day, but she thought Song Huizong She just left. If she leaves Master Li again, Master Li will definitely be very sad. In fact, she has spent the past few days in a dilemma.

This silly woman always thinks about others, when will she think about herself? Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "You are as close as sisters, how can I have the nerve to separate you? Of course we go together."

"Really?" Feng Yinu said happily.

"I don't think I need to lie to you." Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go, it's not good to stand here all the time."

"Um."

When the two came to the house, they saw a peerless beauty sitting by the window. Although she was not wearing makeup and her clothes were very simple, how could the most beautiful woman in the world be constrained by these vulgar things? She was still beautiful!

Master Li stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Li, long time no see."

Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Miss Shishi, are you feeling well?"

"Thanks to Master Li's careful care, Master Li has now recovered." Master Li said, stretching out his jade arms like lotus roots, and said: "Please sit down."

Li Qi thanked him and sat down.

Master Li asked: "I heard that Daming Mansion has been lost."

Li Qi didn't expect that she would still care about this matter. He was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, it seems that I don't understand this woman at all! He nodded and said, "Yes!"

Master Li sighed quietly and said to himself: "Suwen Daming Mansion is the 'North Gate Key'. It has many soldiers and generals, but it is unexpected that it is so vulnerable. We are all human beings, and the Jin people are determined not to be like that." Liu Ru is as powerful as he said, after all, it is our own fault."

There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, and she said to Li Qi: "Now that Daming Mansion has fallen, and the natural barrier of the Yellow River no longer exists, the Jin Army will soon attack Kaifeng, Master Li must be prepared! "

Li Qi scratched his head and said in surprise: "Miss Shishi, I didn't expect you to know this?"

Master Li was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he smiled awkwardly: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I just saw a lot of people and listened to a lot of words, so I know a little bit about it. However, in front of Master Li, I just It’s just a matter of practice.”

As she said that, she smiled and shook her head. In fact, she just wanted to remind Li Qi.

Li Qidao: "Miss Shishi, you are so humble. Anyone who can say these words definitely knows more than a little bit. But please don't worry, Miss Shishi. Although there is no natural danger of the Yellow River, the millions of soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng are not just doing it.

If his Jin army wants to step into Kaifeng City, they must first step over millions of corpses, not even one less."

Master Li smiled and said: "If Master Li is so determined, then Master Li will be relieved."

Li Qidao: "Having said that, the situation is ever-changing and no one can predict what will happen at the next moment. If Miss Shishi doesn't dislike it, she can go to Bai Mansion to stay with Yinu for a few days. Sister Qingzhao and Mrs. Qin are also

There, everyone takes care of each other.”

Feng Yinu nodded and said: "Yes, sister, let's go to the Bai Mansion to live together. The world is not peaceful now, and it is not very safe to live here."
