Chapter 188 Zhongzhou Collection

Ye Qing's idea is very simple now, and this is also an important reason why he won over the military judgment. It is because with the help of the gathering of people in Sizhou, the news from various places was summarized by the Imperial City Division after the caravan arrived in Sizhou, or the caravans were used to become the Imperial City Division to extend to the northern Jin Kingdom, the grassland and the Western Xia spies, so that the Imperial City Division's tentacles could extend outward as much as possible, rather than being like a blind man when he went north to Sizhou.

If Ye Qing had just wanted to hold the Imperial City Secret in his hand before coming to Sizhou, then as he entered Sizhou City and met Sang Kun, he suddenly felt that after being in the long river of history, time had passed much faster than recorded in historical books.

If it were recorded in history books, the Mongols on the grassland were still in the dire straits under the rule of the Jin people, and there were constant melee between the grassland tribes, and Temujin has not yet gained fame on the grassland at all.

Of course, even at this moment, in this history, everything is still developing according to the original trajectory, but the sense of urgency that comes from the subtleties after being in it is not as calm as recorded in history books.

Everything seems to be fast forwarding, especially for people like Ye Qing who knows the trajectory of history. Although the wheel of history is still slow, when you know what the result will be, when you feel the situation from all directions, all changing in an instant, when you see that the Southern Song Dynasty court is still so comfortable, you will feel that time passes too quickly.

The Imperial City Department obviously could no longer be satisfied with controlling the information of the Southern Song Dynasty. Moreover, even if the Southern Song Dynasty was in chaos, at this time, except for the small-scale and unseasonable peasant uprisings, there would be no other major moves that would affect the court.

However, the changes in the Jin, Tatars, and Xia people in the north influenced the turmoil and situation of the Southern Song court at all times. Therefore, in Ye Qing's heart, in addition to being his own amulet, the Imperial City Office also had to exist an important intelligence agency spread all over the country.

If possible, he wished he could know even the news deep in the grassland and could clearly grasp it in his hands.

The general of the Imperial City Division, who is in such an important place in Sizhou City, is the most suitable candidate.

Of course, in Ye Qing's opinion, an Imperial City General is not enough, but if the caravans coming and going to Sizhou and those people who Li Qingzhao secretly funded by the Huai River, then the intelligence network centered on Sizhou City can be established by itself in a short time.

And all this really began from the moment he crossed the river. As for whether he could win over nearly 3,000 people from the opposite side, he believed that it was not very difficult. There were caravans in Sizhou City, so it might not be easy to stuff three thousand people into it at once, but if it was slowly penetrated for a long time and the secret assistance of Sizhou Imperial City Department, all this should not be a big problem.

"Do I send some people to follow you?" Seeing Ye Qing about to set foot on the land of the Jin Kingdom, Wu Jue felt a sense of excitement for no reason.

Whether openly or secretly, being able to cross the Huai River and embark on the land occupied by the Jin Kingdom seemed to have an inexplicable glory for a general of the Song Dynasty.

"No need. That person can't be kept anymore. If he is released, Fan Niande or Liu Yungu will immediately know that I have stepped into the land of the Jin Kingdom." Ye Qing turned around and said with a smile.

"Yes, I understand." Wu Punishment looked at Ye Qing who was boarding the boat, as if at this moment he felt that Ye Qing's originally tall back had become much more majestic.

Wu Jue, who felt a sense of reverence, watched the ship slowly sail away from the river bank. No matter what, Ye Qing stepped into the enemy's boundary, not for him personally, but for doing things for the royal family, and did not hesitate to take risks. It is indeed worthy of his admiration.

"Teacher Ye takes care of you. The matters in Sizhou will be handled by Commander Ye, so that you will have no worries when you are in triumph." Wu Punishment suddenly shouted at the departing ship.

"I'm working." Ye Qing's voice came from far from the river.

Just as if he knew his goal for the rest of his life, Wu Zong, who was standing by the river, was full of energy at this moment, looking at the rising sun in the east with excitement, gradually dyeing the cold Huai River water a layer of gold.

The boat was slowly sailing above the water of the Huai River. More than a dozen people seemed crowded on a fishing boat. Lao Liu, who had been silent, saw that the boat was almost at the heart of the river, so Wu Jue led his subordinates away.

"Is this person trustworthy?" Old Liu asked as he looked at Ye Qing on the side of the ship and the small cabin.

"Isn't this ship also provided by Dong Chao?" Ye Qing asked with his head raised.

"That's right, this person is quite loyal. Although he led a group of mobs to deal with the Jin people, it was quite effective. But as he said, now it is no longer as before, and the people have gradually adapted to the rule of the Jin people. When they see the Jin people, they no longer hate them as much as before. The reason why they hate the Jin people is that their relatives were killed by the Jin people, or their family was destroyed because of the Jin people." Old Liu said helplessly.

"Normal, no matter where the people are, as long as they can give them a stable living environment, they will not care about who is the emperor and who rule this land." Ye Qing stood at the bow of the boat and slowly walked towards the north facing the sun.

"Actually, just like what Dong Chao said, if it weren't for the Jiankang battle and the Jin emperor Wanyan Liang's south to attack our Song Dynasty a few years ago, perhaps the people in the whole northern region would have accepted the fact that they were ruled by the Jin people. Helplessly, when Wanyan Liang was defeated and the defeated general retreated across the Huai River, in order to vent his anger after the defeat, he robbed the people along the coast, as if he was taking revenge on the Song court. Since then, the team of less than a few hundred people in front of Dong Chao has expanded to the current scale of nearly 3,000 people." Old Liu knew it as much as he knew. Obviously, he was in the north these days and was quite familiar with Dong Chao.

With his ability to talk to people when they see people and talk to ghosts, Dong Chao probably has already shaken off his family's assets and still doesn't know it.

"So, Mr. Yi'an didn't lie to us. It seems that most of her women in the slanting wind and drizzle building really escaped from the north." Ye Qing faced the river wind and thought of Liu Qingyan inexplicably in his mind. Could this girl escaped from the north, right?

According to the division of later generations, Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao were both from Shandong, and after Shandong was Jiangsu, Lanling was not very far from Sizhou. Could it be... Now, Dong Chao and others were Li Qingzhao or Zhao Mingcheng's relatives? But why didn't they follow the court all the way south?

Thinking of the time when the imperial court flew south, Ye Qing couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. Obviously, in the era of chaos, not all families were able to cross the south. Even when the Song Dynasty was chased by the Jin people, they were still running in a very embarrassing way. I don't know how many palace treasures I discarded along the way, and crossed the Yangtze River like a dog that was a broken family.

"I don't know whether it's a lie. I just don't understand why these people in the north can live safely and freely under the rule of the Jin people. Why are there so few knowledgeable people like Dong Chao? If there are more righteous men like Dong Chao, I will recover the Central Plains in the Song Dynasty and take back the lost land..." Old Liu said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense about you. Except for Yue Fei and others who have fought the Huai River in the past few decades, the imperial court never thought about regaining lost land in the past few decades. The people who shouted were all the people, but the court and officials had never thought about it. In their opinion, it would be better if they could always be so peaceful and cross the river and manage it." Ye Qing smiled and looked at the woods opposite the Huai River, and said.

"What's more,..." Ye Qing couldn't help but remember the inquisitive slap in Liu Qingyan's poem he was thinking of inquisitive slap in the slanting wind and drizzle building.

Yuan Haowen was respected as the northern Wenxiong, a generation of Wenzong. Even when the Jin Dynasty was in decline and was beaten by the Mongols to continue to retreat south, he did not think about turning to the so-called orthodox Song Dynasty. Instead, when the Mongolian army captured Bianjing and Jin Aizong continued to flee south, he recommended as many as 54 Han literati to Yelu Chucai.

Later, when he was captured by the Mongols, Yuan Haowen was sad about the fall of the Jin Dynasty. In order to preserve history with poetry, he edited the collection of poems for the late king and minister of the Jin Dynasty, "Zhongzhou Collection". The reason why he used the name "Zhongzhou" was to express the profound meaning of commemorating his hometown and taking Jin as orthodox.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing smiled bitterly again. This may be the slavery of the Chinese nation, or perhaps the slavery of Confucian scholars. Just like the beginning of the Qing Dynasty's knocking on the gates, many scholars in the Central Plains were unwilling to be ruled by the Qing Dynasty, and would rather be beheaded than have braids.

But when the Qing Dynasty was in decline, when the Three People's Destiny began to become popular, many pedantic literati stood up, passionately and angry, unwilling to cut off their braids and unwilling to cut off their so-called laws of ancestors.

Such a ridiculous thing can indeed be staged one after another on the land of China. It has to be said that this ironic crime should be attributed to...

"The head of the world, it's here. That's Dong Chao." Old Liu said in a daze in Ye Qing's ear.

Ye Qing suddenly realized and saw that the boat had slowly landed. More than a dozen people on the other side came out of the woods. The leader and several banned soldiers of the Imperial City Division strode towards the river bank together.

So he immediately jumped down first and finally set foot on the Song Dynasty since he came to the Song Dynasty, he has always wanted to see with his own eyes what the Northland under the rule of the Jin people looked like now.
