…

The former prime minister could not sit in this seat, who is qualified to sit in this seat?

Han Qing looked at Zhang Shuye again and said, "Otherwise, Mr. Zhang will come to this seat to lead us?"

Zhang Shuye’s current official position is to sign the letter to the Privy Council, and he is the deputy of the Privy Councilor Sun Fu. When most of the senior officials such as He Li and Zhang Bangchang went to the Jin camp, Zhang Shuye, who was the second-rank, can be regarded as one of the few senior officials in the court.

At the beginning, when Zhong Shidao learned that Zhending was lost, all Taiyuan had been lost. He immediately issued an edict to order the general manager of the South Road Zhang Shuye to be responsible for serving the king's soldiers. Therefore, Zhang Shuye had a short command of the army of 100,000 to 200,000 troops, so Zhang Shuye's resume was rich enough.

More importantly, Zhang Shuye was one of the few people who led his troops to serve the king after the second time of the Jin people's journey south, so he had a very good reputation.

When Tang Ke was unable to lead everyone, Zhang Shuye was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuye refused cleanly and neatly: "Mr. Tang is not competent, let alone Zhang Shuye?"

Although Zhang Shuye still has some defeated soldiers from the South Road, how can the defeated soldiers who do not even have a dagger compare with Han Qing's more than 10,000 elite soldiers?

actually--

More importantly, Zhang Shuye also understood that whether this thing can be accomplished depends mainly on Han Qing's attitude. If Han Qing, who has more than 10,000 elite soldiers and can arm 100,000 weapons, does not do his best, they want to resist the Jin Dynasty, which is like a fool.

Han Qing was about to persuade him again, and Zhang Shuye said again: "Those who sit in this seat must have the ability to support the building and turn the tide down. I asked myself, I really don't have such ability, so I dare not sit in this seat."

When Han Qing heard the words, he looked at Zhe Yanzhi again and said, "Who will sit in this seat and lead us?"

Zhe Yanzhi was originally a descendant of the general and was also a Jinshi, and he was a genius.

When the Jin people first advanced south, Zhe Yanzhi and Yao Gu and Zhong Shizhong led their troops to defend the king, and fought with the Jin army many times in Nanguan, Huanghe and other places.

Last June, the Song Dynasty court appointed Li Gang as the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu, and Zhe Yanzhi went to rescue Taiyuan City besieged by the Jin people for activities.

Zhe Yanzhi followed the deputy envoy Xie Qian to send troops from the Weisheng army and fought with the Jin army for four days. In the end, the Jin people failed to succeed in re-increasing their troops.

In the situation where the Song army and the Jin army were defeated in one battle, Zhe Yanzhi was able to fight with the Jin people many times, which was worthy of being the name of a long-time general.

It is precisely because of this that Zhe Yanzhi was later promoted to the deputy envoy of Hedong Xuanfu in Hebei, and even once served as the position of Hedong Xuanfu in Hebei.

Not counting the one Zhao Gou proclaimed himself, there was no Grand Marshal of the Song Dynasty (Zhao Huan was named Grand Marshal of the Military Marshal, Zhao Gou added two words - Tianxia, ​​and then called "Tianxia Marshal of the Military Marshal" to the outside world). Hebei and Hedong Xuanfu Envoys were basically equivalent to Grand Marshal of the Military Marshal of the entire north. It could not only manage all military generals in the war zone, but also manage all civil officials in the war zone.

Only two people in Song Huizong received this position in one day, one was Tong Guan, who was finally named king, and the other was Tan Zhen, who was preparing to replace Tong Guan, both of whom were eunuchs.

Only two and a half people had obtained this position during the reign of Emperor Qinzong of Song, one was Zhong Shidao, the other was Li Gang, and half was Fan Ne (Zhe Yanzhi left half of his power). All three were ordered in the face of danger.

It can be seen from this that Zhe Yanzhi, who can serve as the position of Hebei and Hedong Xuanfu Envoy, is also a feasible choice when Tang Ke and Zhang Shuye are not the leaders.

When he heard Han Qing ask him to sit in his position as the commander, Zhe Yanzhi immediately smiled bitterly: "I lost the river and even the Song Dynasty fell to this point. What kind of appearance do I have to sit here and lead everyone? I come here just to be a soldier on the battlefield and take advantage of his previous shame, and I have no other request."

The Jin people went south for the second time, Zhao Huan sent Fan Ne, Zhe Yanzhi and Li Hui to guard the Yellow River. Due to various reasons, they collapsed without fighting and lost the natural danger of the Yellow River, which allowed the Jin people to drive down.

Zhao Huan was furious and asked Zhe Yanzhi to be appointed as the deputy envoy of the Haizhou Tuanli and placed in Yongzhou.

If the Jin people had not been traveling south too quickly and Zhe Yanzhi had been sent to Yongzhou, he was still guilty and could not even enter the court. Tang Ke and Zhang Shuye did not sit in Han Qing's position as the coach, how could he have been?

It seems that no one present is suitable to take Han Qing's coaching position.

At this time, Tang Ke spoke, "The situation is like this. In my opinion, everyone should stop sticking to the old system and official positions. This seat should be seated by the most suitable person."

Zhang Shuye echoed: "Yes, whoever has the ability to turn the tide will sit in this seat."

Zhe Yanzhi also said: "Whoever can make us, civil and military officials unite to fight against the Jin Dynasty, who can sit here and call us to wait."

Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and finally their eyes slowly focused on Han Qing.

Is this a coincidence?

Of course not, this is the result of Han Qing's intentional design.

You know, the list of attendees this time was decided by Han Qing for a long time. It can even be said that everyone in it was carefully selected by Han Qing.

Let’s put it this way, Han Qing didn’t call anyone who could threaten Han Qing, like the Zhao family, like Sun Fu.

The people Han Qing called were not only not qualified to compete with him as the leader, but also those who have withstood the test of history. Most of them are true gentlemen, who are truly reliable and can really entrust big things.

From the perspective of grade, there were only five people present who were taller than Han Qing.

Let’s not talk about Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, and Zhe Yanzhi. The remaining two are Mei Zhili and Lu Haowen.

If it weren't for Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, Zhe Yanzhi, Mei Zhili and Lu Haowen, they could actually compete with Han Qing - the former founded twenty-eight relief centers and secretly recruited tens of thousands of people, while the latter was responsible for reorganizing the army and reorganizing 50,000 or 60,000 defeated soldiers.

But Tang Ke, who is the first-class Tang Ke, has not even been in Han Qing's handsome position since the second-class Zhang Shuye and Zhe Yanzhi. Mei Zhili and Lu Hao, who are the third-class Mei Zhili, can ask where to sit, and who can be convinced?

The key point is that neither Mei Zhili nor Lu Haowen are the kind of presidential talents, and they cannot be the leader.

Let’s talk about Han Qing.

Although Han Qing is only in the fifth rank now (after Han Qing assisted Lu Haowen to complete the army, Zhao Huan personally promoted Han Qing to the envoy of Jingfu Palace and hinted that Han Qing would make Han Qing the commander-in-chief of the army in the future, he would make Han Qing the commander-in-chief of the three armies), but Han Qing had actually almost reached the limit of a military general.

(The official system of the Song Dynasty had great restrictions on military generals. Often, only military generals of the sixth and seventh rank could obtain the highest power of military generals, that is, they could control the army. The fifth rank was the limit that military generals could obtain real power, that is, they could serve as the commander. Even the Tongshifu, the second rank of martial officials, was only the fifth rank. Going further, except for the first rank of martial officials, the Taiwei, the first rank of martial officials, other military officers, either retired or were entrusted to the department without real power, and they were not as powerful as the fifth rank of martial officials.)

Moreover, under Han Qing's operation, except for Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, Zhe Yanzhi, Mei Zhili, and Lu Haowen, the five ranks were higher than Han Qing, and none of the people present had higher grades than Han Qing.

Even if they are about the same rank as Han Qing, there are only two people - Yao Youzhong and Wang Qiong, who once served as the commander-in-chief. Both of them were originally from the fifth grade (when defending Bianliang City, they were promoted by the front line because they were brave and good at fighting, and were previously only a seventh grade general).

But after Yao Youzhongshi showed up again after more than two months, he has been following Han Qing, like a follower.

As soon as everyone saw Yao Youzhong's behavior, they knew that Yao Youzhong must have been impressed by Han Qing.

At most, Wang Qiong is a identifiable painting with Yao Youzhong, etc., so how can he compete with Han Qing?

The most important thing is actually strength. Han Qing now has more than 10,000 elite soldiers and weapons that can arm 100,000 people. This is the only one of Scorpion's Baba. If Han Qing doesn't do his best, it will only be a joke and a tragic thing for them to resist the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, the people present cannot do without Han Qing. If they want to succeed, they have to tie Han Qing to their chariot no matter what the price they pay.

Seeing that everyone looked at Han Qing, Tang Ke said, "In my opinion, General Han will sit in this seat."

Zhang Shuye glanced at Han Qing and said with great meaning: "General Han has been far-sighted and has kept so many soldiers and armor without any leakage. He has achieved such a situation in two months, which gives us the opportunity to fight hard. General Han should be seated in this seat."

From Zhang Shuye's words, Han Qing heard that Zhang Shuye had already begun to doubt his ambitions.

This is normal. With Zhang Shuye's wisdom, how could he have never imagined that if he had no ambition, he would have done so many things secretly against the emperor's order?

Han Qing ignored this, and he believed that Zhang Shuye could tell who was more important.

Moreover, Han Qing made these people think: "If Han Qing is not allowed to be this leader, then Han Qing might have to rely on his own troops and watch Zhao Song perish, and then we will lose the only chance to save Zhao Song." And then we dare not let Han Qing be this leader.

In fact, not only Zhang Shuye saw Han Qing's ambition, but also Tang Ke and Zhe Yanzhi.

This is also one of the reasons why Tang Ke and Zhe Yanzhi did not compete with Han Qing for the leader.

Zhe Yanzhi said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, General Han is now very prestigious in the army, and should be able to order all the troops to fight against the Jin Dynasty together. In this way, it is indeed a feasible choice for General Han to sit in this seat and lead us. Therefore, General Han agrees that General Han will sit in this seat."

Yao Youzhong and other generals under Han Qing shouted in unison: "Please take your seat!"

The senior officials in the military came, and Han Qing promoted and supported him to have friendship with Han Qing and even followed Han Qing's horse.

The key point is that there is a voice in the army now, that is, the reason why the Song Dynasty retreated step by step and ended in such a situation was because the court valued literature and suppressed military officials and controlled their military generals with civil servants who did not understand war.

In this way, these generals are naturally willing to support Han Qing, a real martial artist, to become the leader, to break the ceiling above their heads.

Therefore, under the leadership of Yao Youzhong and others, these generals also shouted: "Please take your seat by General Han!"

For a moment, Han Qing seemed to be in the hope of everyone.

Han Qing looked embarrassed: "Han Qing is young and has a shallow life..."

Zhang Shuye interrupted Han Qing and said, "We have all agreed that we will not look at the old system and official positions today, but only choose people who can save the Song Dynasty."

Lu Haowen heard the words and said, "There is no one who is more suitable for this seat than General Han. For the Great Song Dynasty plan, don't refuse."

Mei Zhili also said, "A real man should take responsibility. This seat is yours, who can sit there?"

There are not many literati present today. Apart from Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, Zhe Yanzhi, Mei Zhili, and Lu Haowen who elected Han Qing, the rest are literati who are of low rank, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun, and Liu Ziyu who are still Han Qing's staff.

In this way, after Lu Haowen and Mei Zhili also recommended Han Qing as the leader, there were no opposition.

There was no way, Han Qing could only sit in his handsome position "very reluctantly"...
