Chapter 81 Undercurrent is surging!
The atmosphere of the battle in Bianjing City gradually disappeared, but the atmosphere in Xixia became tense.
The rebellion of the Jingsai Army and the Xishou Baotai Army made the Xixia court passive politically.
In addition to the Xiangqing Army, which he controlled and the Right Chapel Shun Army, the other military departments were quite ambiguous.
Liang Yimang found that he could no longer command and did not dare to command. Once they were ordered to go to Beijing to pay the king, would the king be Liang or Li?
Therefore, at present, only the Xiangqing Army and the Right Chau Shun Army Division can rely on, and even the Xiangqing Army cannot fully trust it.
Xiangqing Army belongs to the Central Army. The Iron Harrier founded by Li Yuanhao is in this army. The selection method of Iron Harrier is basically hereditary. The father's armor is passed on to his son, and the son's armor is passed on to his grandson. The spread of ancestors from generation to generation has created the bravery flowing in the blood.
The loyalty established from generation to generation made Liang Yichi less willing to trust. Although he held military power in his hands, there was no way to replace the middle and lower-level soldiers.
Liang Yimeng was very annoyed by the generals guarding Li Bingchang. If Li Bingchang had not been lost, then these people would have been trusted. However, if Li Bingchang was rescued, it would not be a foreign war, but a dispute over orthodoxism.
Li Bingchang was the upright successor of Daxia. He soon became an adult, and the Liang family was just a traitor. This choice was probably very easy to make.
Liang Yimeng was already panicked, but his sister, Empress Dowager Liang, whom he didn't like, stood up.
Empress Dowager Liang decided to visit Lingzhou City in person and lead troops to deal with the invading Jingsai Army and the Xishou Baotai Army.
This is not without precedent. Among the five attacks on Xia, Empress Dowager Liang personally led his troops to fight, which made the whole country unite and defeated the fierce Song Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Liang is just a repeat of the same trick.
But Liang Yima always feels something is wrong.
There seems to be an undercurrent in Xingqing City!
...
It was approaching late spring, but the remaining snow in Xingqing City had not yet disappeared. The snow that had been stepped on by people, carriages and livestock on the streets was very dirty. Passersby avoided the remaining snow one by one, fearing that they would be splashed and stained.
However, there are not many pedestrians, because Xingqing City has become a large military camp, with soldiers guarding everywhere, and the pedestrians who come out are also hurried by. After finishing their work, they hurry home and go home. Seeing this situation, something is wrong, so it is safer to go home.
Recently, news in Xingqing City has been chaotic. Some people say that Emperor Li Bingchang was imprisoned, some people say that the emperor fled, some people say that the military commander on the southern border rebelled, some people say that the emperor fled to the south, the military commander was serving the king, and the Queen Mother Liang was a traitor.
Anyway, all kinds of news are chaotic, and the people don’t know whether it is true or false. It doesn’t matter to them. Who is in power is not important to them. What they want is to have food and clothing.
Recently, the people have become more and more sad. The battle with the Song Dynasty has been completed, but there are many people who starve to death and are so poor that they sell their children and daughters.
Many families went to serve in the army, but their bodies were not sent back. Someone told them that your son was killed in battle and your husband was killed in battle.
The court also gave some compensation to send a few lambs. The problem is, who doesn’t have many lambs, and this thing is not worth anything at all.
Nowadays, people are not full, so where can I find something to feed lambs, I might as well just eat them.
I originally thought that after the battle, I could have a good rest and recuperation, but looking at the situation, it seemed that the fight was about to start again. I used to fight at the border, but now I heard that Xingqing was going to fight, and the people became even more desperate.
A carriage passed through the street and ran through the snow. The wheels seemed to be specially made and did not make a creaking sound. When an experienced person saw the carriage, he knew it was a wealthy family.
The car looks ordinary, but this car was bought from the Song Dynasty. This car is expensive, and it is estimated that a car can be exchanged for dozens of sheep if one or two carriages are exchanged for dozens of sheep.
If it is a horse, it will have to be about ten horses. Even if it is a good war horse, it will have to be five or six horses to exchange for such a car. If it is not a big family, it is impossible to bear it.
The carriage turned into a street and came to the family. This family was a wealthy family and could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary family.
The carriageman jumped down neatly, stepped on the snow for a few steps and jumped to the steps. Someone came out to intercept the side of the plate.
"Who?"
The doorzi held his hand on the knife handle and stared at the coachman and shouted.
The coachman smiled and said, "Go in and report, the shopkeeper Lin is here."
The man frowned: "What a big shopkeeper? We are not doing business now, have you found the wrong one?"
The coachman smiled and said, "Just go and report to your master. If you don't see him, you will not be able to pay any attention."
The door frowned, waved his hand inside, and then turned around and said, "Wait."
After a while, there was a hurried footsteps coming from it.
When the gate saw it, he was shocked: "Master!"
The master glared at him fiercely and walked over toward the carriage.
The manzi was shocked, and the curtain was lifted on the carriage. A young man in his thirties looked at his master with a smile. He seemed to see the master staggering slightly, and he couldn't help but become even more surprised.
His master has always been sophisticated and calm. He has followed the master for many years and has never seen him lose his composure like this.
"Shopkeeper Lin, it's cold outside, please go to the humble house for a little rest."
The master bowed respectfully.
The young man came out of the car and jumped gently. The master quickly went over to help him. Then the young man gently patted the master on the shoulder. The doorman found that the master's face actually showed a look of honor.
The door was even more confused.
The young man smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are in love."
Mr. Jiang Chaorui smiled on his face: "It should be, it should be, please buy it from the shopkeeper Lin."
Mr. Jiang took Manager Lin and walked inside and disappeared into the door.
The doorman then retracted his eyes, and the narrator asked, "Where is this young man coming from? Why is our master so respectful to him? You must know that our master, the emperor, the merchants, and the people in the palace rely on our master. Why does this man look so stylish?"
"Shut up!" The door whispered, "You can talk too much about the matter of the master."
After scolding his partner, the doorman looked at the coachman who was resting in the carriage and greeted, "Brother, why don't you come in to the room to warm up your body? I have some good wine here, all from the east, which is great."
The coachman opened his eyes and his eyes were very sharp. After a moment, he changed into a smile: "Don't drive if you drink, don't drink if you drive, thank you."
