Chapter 251 Planning Guanzhong
It was certain that he would be exterminated, after all, Zhao Ji himself and the two unlucky guys around him were all left with no tools.

The other sons were sent to become monks, and Chen Ran also specifically instructed the Shaolin Temple to let them use Buddhism to educate the kings and wash away the worldly dust.

If you kings are not firm in your resolve and have gone astray in your pursuit of Buddhahood, then we respectfully send off the masters of Shaolin Temple to the Leiyin Temple in the West to seek guidance from the Buddha.

To put it simply, watch out for me. If something goes wrong and someone runs away, then forget about fasting and praying for Buddha, and go eat the red silk knife of Officer Qin.

Although there is no hope for my sons, there is still hope for me to have no grandchildren, after all, I still have grandchildren.

Zhao Ji has so many daughters, and under Chen Ran's meticulous cultivation, they will surely produce a lot of fruits.

Because of the severity of her injuries, Zhao Jiumei had to lie in bed for more than a month before she was able to walk.

The eunuchs in charge were not in a hurry to force him to serve the animals. After all, the king wanted a long-term punishment, and he had to heal his injuries first, and then use the beads to expand his strength and exercise every day before he could do his job well.

If nothing unexpected happens, the father and his two sons will have to continue living like this for at least the next few years.

They worked hard within the courtyard walls to serve the animals, while the people outside, who were oppressed by the government and the court, were living a gradually better life.

"Where are you from?"

“From JD.”

The clerk holding the pen looked up and said unhappily, "Speak clearly! Road, prefecture, state, military supervision, county, town, village! If you don't speak clearly when I register you for military service, I won't know where to send your pensions and salaries if something happens to you in the future."

"Qian Fugui, Qian Erlang. From Qianjia Village, Liushan Town, Dazezhai, Fengxian County, Xuzhou, Jingdong Road."

"Height, weight, age. If you don't know, there are rulers and scales nearby."

After registering the two military registers, the clerk asked, "Can you write your own name?"

Qian Fugui shook his head repeatedly. His family had been farming for three generations and they could barely get enough food to eat, so how could they afford to send him to school and learn to read?

"If you can't write, just use your fingerprints."

After Qian Fugui put his fingerprints on both military registration books, the clerk put one into the general file and stuffed the other into Qian Fugui's hand. "Go to the back, there is a doctor there to give you a physical examination. Next!"

This is the recruiting point outside the city of Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing.

Chen Ran provided the imperial guards with excellent treatment and arranged for people to publicize it everywhere, which naturally attracted many young people who wanted to have enough food to eat and get food and salaries.

Everyone has to go through screening.

Those who are over 24 years old, have tattoos, are too short, too fat, have infectious diseases, etc. will be screened out.

In the past, even ruffians would not join the army.

After all, the military men of the Song Dynasty had a low status and almost no salary. In the eyes of their masters, they were no different from slaves. They would either starve to death or their entire family would starve to death.

The king who captured the city of Bianliang provided the warriors with treatment that was beyond their imagination.

Naturally, when the benefits are great enough, countless people will scramble for them.

Qian Fugui was lucky. He didn't have any infectious diseases and after passing the physical examination, he was enlisted as a recruit.

"I don't accept it! I don't accept it~~~"

There was a rogue who was brushed off, jumping up and down and yelling, "You guys are all blind. I can shoot a bow and ride a horse. Ordinary people can't get close to me. I'm skilled in martial arts! You bunch of idiots, you soldiers, how dare you brush off your brother? Fuck you~~~"

Cursing loudly was not enough to vent his anger, so he rushed over, overturned the desks of the clerks, grabbed a hapless clerk and started beating him up.

The commotion here attracted everyone's attention, and soon a group of soldiers came running over.

There was no nonsense at all. Five long spears formed a formation and stabbed forward. The hero who kept cursing was immediately stabbed into a blood gourd and fell limply to the ground wailing.

The soldiers are not yamen runners. When they take action, they are aiming to take people's lives.

Soon someone came and dragged away the scoundrel who was losing his voice due to excessive blood loss.

The clerk who was beaten came to the doctor to apply medicine, still complaining, "This rascal is so ignorant. He thinks this is their town and they can act like a spoiled brat. Who dares to cause trouble in the army?"

"The king said that he would prefer good farmers."

Qian Fugui walked away with the crowd and did not hear the rest of the words, but what he saw and heard today had already shocked him greatly.

There are also such scoundrels in their village.

He was a tyrant, extorting money and kicking widows' doors at night, and no one dared to stop him.

But when they arrived at the army, they were slaughtered easily like dogs.

This scene deeply shocked Qian Fugui, who had only been to the county town since he was a child.

When we arrived at the recruit training camp, we saw a large group of new recruits who didn’t know how to line up. They were huddled together and making a lot of noise, which was quite lively.

When someone shouted "Silence", almost no one listened. They continued to talk, quarrel, laugh and make noise.

Then, a large group of soldiers rushed over and knocked everyone down with punches and kicks.

When they stood up again, they were finally obedient.

The instructor with an arm missing walked onto the wooden platform and said, "Boys, you are lucky. The king plans to send troops to Guanxi. If you can survive three months of training, you can go with the army. This is a great opportunity for you. If you have the chance to take down a head on the battlefield, you will be rewarded with countless rewards."

After feeding the carrot, the next step is to hit with the stick. "Listen carefully, I will not treat you as human beings during the three months of training. You will train during the day and go to night school at night. Anyone who feels that he can't bear it can stand up now."

After he finished speaking, a few idiots really came out hesitantly.

"very good."

The instructor grinned and said, "I like honest people. Come on, beat the one who has been here for half an incense stick first."

"I am the boss in the training camp. If anyone doesn't obey and doesn't train well, there is only one punishment, and that is beating! Beat until everyone can do everything well!"

Chen Ran was indeed making preliminary preparations for sending troops to Guanxi.

Huge amounts of food and fodder were sent to Luoyang, the Western Capital, in batches.

All kinds of military supplies, from weapons, armor, ceremonial flags, tents, and vehicle frames, to oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and spices, from cattle, sheep, and horses to paper and alum, from straw sandals and leather goods to cloth, ropes, and so on.

There is never enough of what a large army needs to go on an expedition.

This time, Chen Ran was able to gather a navy. Most of the boats were wooden boats from various rivers, and even Zhao Ji's dragon boat was towed to the Yellow River.

The navy who manned the ships were mainly composed of sons of fishermen.

Chen Ran didn't want any of those merchant sailors who traveled all over the world with the ships.

With the addition of a large number of ships, transportation work naturally became much more convenient.

Before going on the expedition, Chen Ran still had a lot of work to arrange.

One of them was to see Ma Zhi off.

"Liang Si." Outside the Nanxun Gate, Chen Ran held the wine jar and poured wine into the wine bowl in Ma Zhi's hand. "This trip north is short on time and has a heavy task. I'll leave it all to you."

"Don't worry, my king." Ma Zhi, holding the wine bowl in both hands, said generously, "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

"I've said what I should say before." Chen Ran poured himself a bowl of wine. "Here's a final confirmation for you. The Liao people are just empty talkers. They can make any kind of promises. Let them feel free to boldly transfer the last troops of Yanyun to fight the Jin people."

The Liao people had two courts, the North and the South, which were in charge of military and civil affairs.

The North Court had been destroyed long ago, but the South Court still had tens of thousands of remnants and new soldiers.

Historically, the Liao people relied on these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to defeat the hundreds of thousands of Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition Army.

In Chen Ran's opinion, it is really meaningless to use such an army to defend the south. It is better to fight the Jin people to the death.

One of the important reasons for this massive attack on Guanzhong was to show the Liao people, "I have no intention of going north, just go and fight the Jin people."

"As for the Jin people," Chen Ran pondered for a moment, "we should be willing to give them a sense of reluctance and give them the impression that we want to form an alliance to destroy Liao, but we need time to prepare."

"Here."

Looking at the man in front of him who overthrew the Zhao Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, Ma Zhi's attitude was very respectful, and he almost blurted out, "It's just for the Jin people to think of us helping to share the losses and temporarily delay the process of destroying Liao."

"That's right." Chen Ran lowered his voice. "As for Goryeo, we'll use any tricks, including deception, bribery, and intimidation, to get their two capitals and two groups to send troops to attack Jin."

"I don't expect them to defeat the Jin people, I just hope they can delay them and buy me some time."

"Yes!" Ma Zhi quickly responded and drank the wine in the bowl.

Ma Zhi's convoy gradually went away and headed straight for the Yellow River ferry.

Chen Ran stood there and watched the convoy disappear before he set off back into the city.

He broke with the literati, so naturally no scholars would work for him.

For such a vast Song Dynasty, before a large number of soldiers were trained, it could only exercise selective control.

Taking Guanzhong is just a process, the real goal is Hedong and Xixia!

Hedong is a strategically located place, and to the north is the Liao people's Xijing Datong Prefecture.

If Hedong was not in their hands, the Jin people could have gone straight south to Hedong after destroying the Liao Kingdom.

At that time, whether leaving Hebei or going south across the river to Luoyang, it would be deep into the heart of the country.

The same was true of Western Xia.

If nothing unexpected happens, when Chen Ran goes north to Xixia, the Jin people will also launch an attack on Xixia.

The team was led by the Jin people's best general, Wanyan Loushi.

The Battle of Yishui almost defeated all of Western Xia's main forces.

Chen Ran wanted to seize this opportunity to pacify Western Xia in one fell swoop, push the defense line far toward the grassland, and use the natural barriers of Yinshan Mountain and the Yellow River to block the rapid assault of the Jin cavalry.

If there was a chance, he also wanted to meet Wanyan Loushi, and it would be best if he could kill him in advance.

Therefore, sending troops to Guanzhong was just the beginning.

The real target is Hedong and Xixia, and the ultimate plan is to take advantage of the situation and trick Wanyan Loushi.

At this time, the area controlled by Chen Ran started from the two roads of Jingdong in the east, and from Daming Prefecture along the banks of the Yellow River in the middle, all the way to Bianliang City.

Going further west, it is the area from Xijing Luoyang to Nanyang Basin.

It’s not that there is no way to expand the territory, but that there is a lack of basic administrative talent.

Even if they conquer the place, they will not be able to govern it, and it will only attract countless self-proclaimed kings to harm the people.

He simply left it alone and allowed the original government to continue to control the situation.

In fact, ever since the news of his capture of Bianliang City spread, self-proclaimed kings have been surging in various places.

Fang La, who seemed to have recovered his strength, was besieging Wang Bing's troops in Hangzhou city.

Fortunately, Chen Ran dispatched the navy to deliver supplies to Wang Bing's troops, and they were able to hold the city.

As for the heroes and brave men all over the world, there are countless self-proclaimed kings in various places.

Chen Ran didn't have time to take care of them for the time being. After all, he had read history books and knew that it was impossible to say "pacify the country before fighting foreign enemies" at this time.

If he really did that, when the Jin people attacked, there would be devastating destruction on earth.

So he decided to fight the Jin people first, get rid of the foreign enemies, and then come back to pacify the other places.

As for food and supplies, Chen Ran did not cut off the trade routes.

Food and supplies from Jingxiang and other places in the southeast were still continuously delivered to Bianliang City via rivers.

In this number one city in the world, Chen Ran confiscated property and collected salaries, sweeping away all the accumulation of generations of powerful people. He had so much money piled up like a mountain, and he could just buy whatever he needed.

As long as the price is right, the merchants of the Song Dynasty will definitely try their best to send it.

"We just wait for the new recruits in various places to finish their training, and then take them out to broaden their horizons. If they can come back alive from the battlefield, they will become veterans."
