Chapter 140: Yue Leiju’s life and death, Zhang Jun dismisses Privy. It’s good to be happy!

The business of Jincheng business is booming, but there is someone in Jincheng who is worried.

On October 27, Wang Lan reported to Yang Zaixing that Yue Lei had been in a bad mood recently and was just practicing guns all day long. The previous work of cooperating with Wang Lan to train the Jincheng Army has gradually become deserted, and he was very disgusted with Yang Zaixing in his words. When Wang Lan said this, he hesitated and refused to say it explicitly. However, Yang Zaixing could roughly guess that Yue Lei must have something extremely unpleasant in his words, but it was just inconvenient to tell.

Originally, in order to fulfill his promise to Yue Fei, Qin Hui lost his desire to eliminate the roots and was somewhat concerned about the Yue family, this goal has been achieved; the second goal is to gather the heroes of Taihang in the name of Yue Family Army, which can be said to be basically effective. The dozens of village leaders defected to Jincheng in the name of "authentic Yue Family Army". However, the preparations made in Jincheng are only done some basic work to attack Jin, which is far from truly realizing Yue Fei's dream, sweeping Yanyun, and directly attacking Huanglong. This nephew, Yang Zaixing, is quite familiar with this nephew, is straightforward, but has a poor patience. He is young and needs to be tempered. If a great cause is not achieved, there will be a gap between his uncle and nephew, which will definitely be hampered by the great cause!

After careful consideration, Yang Zaixing brought the iron spear and went to Jincheng martial arts field to find Yue Lei who was practicing guns with all his heart.

As soon as he reached the court, he heard everyone cheering. All the troops in the field dispersed. After all, it was time to use dinner, and the cavalry and infantry were exhausted. There was only one Yue family gun rolling and the wind was everywhere. The murderous intention surged into the sky. Yue Lei's figure was wrapped in the shadow of the gun, without any timidity. Yue's spear reached the exquisite point. The rest of the army soldiers and the onlookers shouted loudly and responded. Yang Zaixing rode his horse and tied the reins of the horse. He carried the iron spear to Yue Lei's gun practice place and shouted: "I am lonely when I practiced the gun alone. How about the time I practiced with Uncle Wei?"

When Yue Lei saw Yang Zaixing approaching, he had already understood seven or eight. Seeing Yang Zaixing waved his hand gently, everyone on the sidelines dispersed reluctantly, knowing that Yang Zaixing had something to say to him, and was not polite at the moment: "My nephew is practicing rogues. But I can ask my uncle for advice, please!" He pointed at Yang Zaixing directly at the place where the iron spear was. Although he was polite, his expression was no longer as eager as before, but he was quite a bit aloof.

Yang Zaixing was not humble and rushed to kill him. Yue Lei's iron spear was stirred up, and hissing was as fast as a dragon. He drove the air around him and ate towards Yang Zaixing with hissing. The Yang family spear turned into spear flowers at the same time, blooming at the dragon's head, and in a fine impact. The dragon body rebounded back, and Yue Lei's spear stopped and had to retreat several steps before reorganizing the spear. He pointed at Yang Zaixing again.

"A good man has all his skills, what's the point of practicing? Please teach me!" As he roared, Yue Lei and his body rushed over with the gun. Yang Zaixing carefully dismantled it while answering without any difficulty: "A good man in the Song Dynasty, who has learned all his skills, will naturally restore the mountains and rivers. Eliminate the thieves and avenge my blood revenge on Jingkang! Is he the guard and guard the hospital?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Lei was forced to retreat for the second time, and his face turned red: "Recently, the thief chief in Beijing was enthroned, and his uncle traded with the thief again. Is it also a way to kill the thief?"

Yue's spear pointed to the ground, but it was like a dragon entering a deep pool, and instantly splashed the spear flowers in the sky, covering Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing deeply felt the anger in this shot. The iron spear shot was like starlight, weaving a light curtain. Yue Lei's spear splashed into this light curtain, only wrinkling the light curtain, instantly eliminating the gun flower, and Yue Lei retreated without success again.

Yang Zaixing held his gun and stood up, facing Yue Lei: "The Yue family army consumed 600,000 yuan a month, and could not spend 7 million yuan a year. Where did it come from? If the Jinzhou army wants to train to the level of the Yue family army, it will not increase one soldier or one soldier, and the monthly consumption will not be less than 100,000 yuan. The court will not expel the money. Can the nephew have a clever plan to make it? Listen carefully to the uncle!"

Yue Leisizhi repeated and knew that he was reckless, but he refused to admit his mistake. He knelt on the ground with a gun and cried and said, "My nephew has always remembered the injustice of his father. His nephew will die in his life and death! Now that he cannot avenge his father's grudges, he cannot extend his father's ambition. What's the use of his nephew's body alone!"

After hearing this, Yang Zaixing turned angrily: "Stop your mouth! How can the descendants of the Yue family be so angry? Since ancient times, gentlemen have no selfless grudges, and life and death must be given to the country. How can they forget the great fortune for their personal grudges? The eldest brother's grudges are forever or forget them. However, the country is like this, the mountains and rivers are destroyed and Hebei is trapped in Hu dust. Good men endure hatred and live a secret life. How can they talk about life and death for their own selfish selfishness? What's the difficulty of death?! Just the descendants of the Yue family, Yue Fei's second son, can they be a short-lived man? If they have to sacrifice their lives, they will die on the day of sweeping Hebei. When Yanyun is pacified, they only need to revitalize the rivers and mountains. What's the point of waiting for thousands of households! Then, if they go to the palace with military merits, why worry about grievances and grievances!"

Yue Lei was shocked when he heard this, and immediately abandoned his gun and slumped his head to the ground: "My nephew is confused. If it weren't for uncle's suggestions, he would almost fall into a devil's obstacle. He will never dare to disobey his uncle again! Please punish him!"

Yang Zaixing did not help him, but slowly faced the stars in the sky and said slowly: "There is no hope for you to build an invincible Yue family army in the future. If you are the uncle, you will make your nephew famous all over the world. If you sweep Hebei in the future, you will be the elite vanguard army. Now you are not the time when you are the nephew practicing guns alone, but the time when you pass on the Yue family's gun skills to the troops. If your nephew cannot stand up and cannot take this step, you will be disappointed by your uncle!"

Yue Lei gritted his teeth, stood up from the ground, carried the Yue family gun and walked behind Yang Zaixing, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle has good intentions, and his nephew will not disappoint his uncle. He just regrets that we are still forgetting our bodies to recover. Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others in the court secretly held high positions, which made the world feel disappointed, but they are afraid that time will delay and miss the recovery plan!"

Yang Zaixing pondered: "Recently, I heard that Qin Hui will advance to the Grand Tutor, and set a precedent for the third division to be reset after the Jingkang period of our dynasty. The coffin of the late emperor and Empress Wei returned to the court. The emperor must plan the credit on the old thief Qin. When the saint's family is in full bloom, it is difficult to eliminate it. However, Zhang Jun and others hold the military power in the world. There are many close confidants in various armies. The emperor may not be willing to trust and respect it easily. If he uses a small trick, he will not kill him. He must also remove the thief from his position and dismiss the military power and comfort the elder brother's spirit in the sky!"

When Yue Lei heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Uncle, do you think this is true?"

Yang Zaixing solemnly turned his head, Yue Lei bowed his hand and stopped thanking him, so he returned to his house. The next day, on the training ground, Yue Lei's sound was in conflict, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. The simplified version of Yue Family Gun was gradually getting better under Yue Lei's personal teaching. Wang Lan saw that the changes were so great overnight. She couldn't help but sigh that those who are capable can do everything, and Brother Yang has an opportunity that ordinary people can't predict.

A few days later, rumors were rumored in Lin'an City that the Privy Councilor Zhang Jun had occupied Chengtian Temple as a homestead because someone told him that the emperor's spirit was pouring out from time to time on the foundation of this temple, and those who live there would be great wealth in a long time! This matter is well known in Lin'an City, and it is not a waste of time. However, if it were not for the persuasion of the intention, it would not have been so loud in a short time. Qin Hui heard about this and met his close confidants at home. Two days later, the Censor Jiang Miao wrote a letter saying that Zhang Jun occupied the land to respond to the prophecy and was ruthless, and his heart could be punished. The eldest man Yang Cunzhong was in charge of the army in front of the hall. The young man Tian Shizhong was in charge of the river defense. Once there was a change, there would be an unexpected disaster.

Zhao Gou received the report, but did not issue an edict, but told the center: "Zhang Jun has made a contribution to restoration. No matter what is wrong with rebellion, it is not trustworthy!" The intention was to block the mouths of everyone, and he actually trusted Zhang Jun quite a lot. After all, when Miao and Liu changed that day, if there was no Zhang Jun, Zhao Gou no longer knew where he was. However, Qin Hui carefully looked at the superiors and thought that it would not be Zhao Gou's original intention. Finally, after discussing with the prime ministers of the Central Committee, he reported to protect Meng Zhonghou as the Privy Councilor and listed with Zhang Jun.

Even Zhao Gou had not realized this for a long time, and he did not know what Qin Hui meant. Meng Zhonghou was an important official during the Jingkang period, but his contribution was not inferior to Zhang Jun. When Empress Yuanyou Meng was deposed and retired to Meng Zhonghou's mansion to avoid disaster. Later, during the Jingkang Incident, Empress Meng was saved from difficulties and was recommended by the ministers as the empress dowager. Later, when Zhao Gou was heard, Empress Meng sent Meng Zhonghou to welcome Zhao Gou ascend the throne, which led to a later peaceful situation. Since Qin Hui returned to the court, most of the discussions were despised by Meng Zhonghou. Although the two of them had distant relatives, Qin Hui made Meng Zhonghou stay in the position of serving as the chief political affairs for a long time. He was not allowed to be important to the court. Once this proposal was made, even Zhao Gou was quite surprised.

When Zhang Jun heard the news, he felt as clear as a mirror: Although Meng Zhonghou and Qin Hui did not interact with each other in their old age, they were in the same power as Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun had been defeated in battle and had lied about military merits. Meng Zhonghou would either write a letter to condemn or ridicule him in person, and never give Zhang Jun a little face. If he was at the center, Zhang Jun would have no plan to do military and political affairs in the future. His unbearable situation was even far from when he was with Han Shizhong! Qin Hui understood the intention of recommending Meng Zhonghou: I would just make things worse, but I would have to let you die without a burial!

After thinking about this festival, Zhang Jun wrote a letter to resign. Zhao Gousi repeatedly reflected Qin Hui's "loyalty to the country" action. He immediately dismissed Zhang Jun as Zhentao, Wuyan, Fengyan Army Jiedushi, and Liquanguan Envoy. However, the difference from Yue Han and others was that he had the same order to grant Zhang Jun the title of Prince of Qinghe! This move made Zhang Jun famous for his real power, which could be compensated.

Qin Hui and others received the news and gathered together to celebrate with each other: Since then, no military generals have been in high positions, and all the court has been controlled by a group of civil officials. The clan system set by Taizu was finally realized after the Song and Jin peace talks. The yellow robe matter may never be played out! Unexpectedly, in Jincheng, Yang Zaixing also met the generals and informed everyone of Zhang Jun's dismissal. Yue Lei was naturally grateful, and all the generals felt very pleased. After all, Zhang Jun was the one who started to persecute Zhang Xian, and he also participated in the prison and killed Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, and Yue Yun. It was really a thorn in the eyes of everyone, and his crime was no less than Qin Hui. Yang Zaixing feasted the generals, but he still reported this matter to Yue Fei Ling to comfort Yue Fei's heroic spirit.

The news also reported to Ezhou as quickly as possible. Tian Shizhong received the news and was depressed. He did not dare to leave the mansion for several days. He hurriedly sent people to Lin'an for inquiries. After hearing that Yang Cunzhong was safe and had no trouble in the capital, it was already the end of the year. There was even more incident that made Tian Shizhong resentful: Yang Zaixing's place in Jincheng sent goods to Ezhou, and it was very popular in Ezhou City, but the most touching one was far better than that of the pig iron refined in Jiangnan!

"Master, this high-quality pig iron is far from comparable to those who refiners in Hebei in the past. The villain has carefully looked at it. If we use it to forge weapons and armor, we should be able to refine thirty or fifty. A large number of weapons can be achieved. Isn't it better for us?" The staff at the mansion investigated the details and reported to Tian Shizhong.

Tian Shizhong walked back and forth in the mansion, but Zhang Junxin did not dare to provoke Yang Zaixing! At this moment, Yang Zaixing had a special identity and could move out of the "Magistrate Zezhou Prefecture" at any time to make things difficult for him. If the letter was stamped with a seal from the Jin Kingdom, he could sue himself for the crime of "taking border provocations", and he was stern and had no injustice. After thinking about it, the equipment of the Shu army around him must be well-equipped, otherwise he would be uneasy. In the end, Tian Shizhong had to carefully instruct: "Let's ask, what the market price is. If there are still funds in the army, try to buy some of them to apply."

Who knows that Wang Huanyu's current value has increased twice. Needless to say, all goods in Hebei must be sent to various prefectures in Jiangnan through the "Jincheng Trading" in Ezhou. The iron tool alone is the final decision of the king. As long as the price is not reduced, it is his freedom to sell it to Jiangnan. When Yang Zaixing decided this plan, he had already calculated the special situation in Ezhou. Therefore, when people came from the Imperial Army General of Ezhou, Wang Huanyu was impatient: "The market price is the same, so why don't you ask? This card is not Does it say? One 5 kilograms is not a fool, but only less than 20,000 kilograms were sent by Jincheng, Hebei. All the troops in Jiangnan have ordered it. They don’t know where to offer it first. The people need less, and they can also offer it first. For example, the big brigades in the army, a family can cost tens of thousands of kilograms. Where can I do a few businesses? Judging from Lord Tian, ​​if I am willing to increase the price, it’s okay to leave 5,000 kilograms in Ezhou. If the market price is at most, it’s three thousand kilograms. If the adults cannot make the decision, they will report it to Lord Tian!”

The staff member was so angry that his stomach hurt, but he couldn't let out half of his fart. Tian Shizhong had already told him not to provoke the people in Jincheng. When Tian Shizhong received the retribution, he was so angry that his hands and feet were cold. He was only 20,000 kilograms of pig iron, which could produce more than a thousand good weapons. Even a full set of armor could be made of two or three hundred pairs. If he passed by before he could not take it, wouldn't it be cheaper for other troops?

The iron tools in Jiangnan are not easy to come by, not only are there few iron ore, but the quality is far different. The best pig iron comes from Hebei. However, after years of war, the craftsmen fled, and there were mines and no one to refine them. Pig iron is even more rare. What's more, would the Jin people sell a small amount of pig iron that was hard to come by to Jiangnan? In addition to the pig iron "smuggling" by Yang Zaixing, Jiangnan even had to obtain Nanyang pig iron from maritime trade through Quanzhou and other places for military use. Most of the top weapons in Yang Cunzhong's troops came from such channels. Of course, those who have to ask the court for more money and spend as little as possible in the army. Weapons, armors and other weapons, are all major items of money, and they can be exempted if they can be exempted, but the "Beiwei Army" around them must have some decent equipment. When these equipment is always damaged, repairing is not a small number. When Yue Fei was in Ezhou, all the monthly fees 600,000 yuan drawn by the court were used in the army. Even the income produced in the Xianghan area could not be saved. At least 30% of the expenses were spent on equipment, and the annual fee for this item was more than 2 million yuan.

After Tian Shizhong took office, the military expenditure dropped sharply, less than half of Yue Fei's time, saving the court a lot of expenses. On the one hand, there were reasons for peace, and on the other hand, there was too little money spent on weapons and armor. At present, even the borrowed Shu soldiers were insufficiently equipped, which greatly endangered Lord Tian's safety. What's wrong with this?
