Chapter 256 Taking Lin'an City
"Axian."
Zhao Lihe called out softly, and Jin Yichuan or Ding Xian behind him immediately withdrew his thoughts.
Ding Xian is flanked by his two sworn brothers, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian. After the founding of Zhao Lihe, the three brothers were taken as his personal bodyguards and are currently the commanders of his royal guards. Each of them has hundreds of elite men under his command. Pro-military.
These pro-soldiers are all strangers with Qi training talents. Although they are few in number, their combat power is amazing.
The three brothers lived up to expectations. Ding Xian directly awakened his mind power in the cultivation furnace, and also showed great potential in the art of controlling objects. He has now refined his pair of flying swallows into two mandarin duck flying knives, known as the Great Xia Di A swordsman.
Lu Jianxing was also transformed into a strange person in the self-cultivation furnace, and showed energy far beyond ordinary people, highlighting a large and powerful person.
Zhao Lihe taught him according to his aptitude and gave him the Taoist "Tiangang Qi" and the Buddhist "Vajra Indestructible Magic". These two magical skills for body protection are both internal and external. He can be said to be fierce and unparalleled, making him the best choice for a personal bodyguard.
As for Shen Lian, perhaps because he is the protagonist of the world, his Qi training talent and understanding are far superior to his two brothers. Zhao Lihe gave him the protagonist's standard Golden Light Curse and Five Thunder Methods, and also used Gray Mist The coin replenished Yuanyang for him, and he lived up to Zhao Lihe's expectations and made rapid progress in practice. He has now mastered the Golden Light Curse and the Five Yang Thunders to a small level.
Of course, compared with these three brothers, the best performer has to be Xiuchundao's combat power ceiling, and the extra money layman Dingxiu.
This guy did not rely on the self-cultivation furnace, but only practiced the inner alchemy method of the Quanzhen sect. He started from scratch and caught up with the three brothers.
But Ding Xiu had no choice but to be dissolute by nature. After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, he felt that everything was done, so he resigned decisively and went to wander the world. It is said that he is now hooking up with maritime merchants in the South China Sea and seems to have adventures in the sea. The idea of entertaining...
Back to the subject, after stopping Ding Xian, Zhao Lihe came to the reserved Han Lanyun and comforted him with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, there is no need to be cautious. I have a close relationship with Yuyang, so you can treat me as Yuyang's brother!"
Han Lanyun was a little flattered and didn't even dare to say so.
Zhao Lihe smiled helplessly, then squatted in front of Wang Chuyi's biological daughter Xiao Zhu'er, looking at her sleepy little face that had just been woken up by her mother, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, what's your name?" ?”
"Your Majesty, my daughter's name is Wang Miaozhu."
Han Lanyun quickly answered for her daughter.
Wang Miaozhu pouted and said in a vague tone: "No, my name is Xiao Zhu'er!"
Han Lanyun looked embarrassed and whispered awkwardly: "Xiao Zhu'er is your nickname, and your eldest name is Wang Miaozhu."
Zhao Lihe laughed loudly, and was about to pick her up when Wang Miaozhu exclaimed. He praised her with a smile: "Wang Miaozhu, what a good name. Yuyang is worthy of being a Quanzhen disciple, and the names are so rhyming... Xiao Zhu'er , how old are you now?"
Wang Miaozhu blinked, stared at Zhao Lihe's beard and replied, "Three and a half years old."
Deng Yougang, who was standing next to him, came over with a smile: "Brother Zhao, even though Xiao Zhu'er is only three and a half years old, she can even memorize the multiplication table!"
"Oh?" Zhao Lihe raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Can you memorize the multiplication table?"
Wang Miaozhu came to his senses from Zhao Lihe's beard, raised his little head, and said proudly: "I know how to do it. Daddy taught me. If you don't believe me, I will recite it to you. One by one will get one, and one by two will get two..."
Zhao Lihe and Deng Yougang looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
She is indeed Brother Wang's good daughter, she looks like a second-generation girl at such a young age!
Han Lanyun stood by with a smile. Although she didn't know what the two people were laughing about, she could also keenly sense that her little Zhu'er seemed to have won their favor, making their attitudes become more intimate and kind. Be natural.
With a smile on his face, Zhao Lihe put Xiao Zhu'er down and said softly: "Shen Lian."
A man suddenly walked out of the guard with a knife, and respectfully handed over his hands: "I have a humble duty."
Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "I didn't take Lao Pan with me on this trip, so I'd like to trouble you to remember this - make Wang Miaozhu my Princess Miaozhu of Daxia!"
Shen Lian was slightly surprised, but still bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Han Lanyun's face was full of surprise and she quickly pulled her daughter to thank her.
Wang Miaozhu blinked and asked in confusion: "Isn't the princess the emperor's daughter? Can I be a princess too?"
Zhao Lihe smiled and explained: "Uncle Zhao is also an emperor. If I say you are a princess, you are the princess."
Wang Miaozhu was even more surprised: "You are the emperor, then who is that old man in the palace?"
Han Lanyun was shocked when she heard this and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Tong Yan Wuji..."
Zhao Lihe smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, Yuyang's daughter should have this kind of mentality - can the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty be regarded as an emperor? Uncle Zhao will pull him down now and let your father sit on it, okay? ?”
When the words that seemed to coax a child came into her ears, Han Lanyun trembled and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She only knew that these 'Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals' were here to help her husband in his Northern Expedition, but she had never heard that they wanted to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty!
Wang Miaozhu's eyes lit up and he immediately cheered: "Okay, okay! Daddy has long been unhappy with that emperor!"
Looking at Xiao Zhu'er who was not afraid of the imperial power, Zhao Lihe took out a silver bracelet with a smile, took her little hand and put it on her.
The moment the originally wide silver bracelet was put on, it suddenly emitted blue light, and then gradually shrank, turning into a silver bracelet that fit the size of the child's wrist.
Seeing this scene, Han Lanyun and Wang Miaozhu both opened their eyes in surprise.
Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "This is a meeting gift from Uncle Zhao. Wearing it, no one can hurt you."
Wang Miaozhu nodded in understanding, and then played with the bracelet on his wrist with great interest.
This is the work of the number one weapon refiner in Da Xia. It has many abilities such as being as large as you want, sheltering from dust and rain, and self-defense. Almost each of Zhao Lihe’s two children and the heirs of Da Xia’s important ministers have one. Wang Miaozhu is an extremely rare wearer in the alliance. The second generation cannot be left behind.
Han Lanyun picked up Wang Miaozhu and taught her to thank Zhao Lihe.
Wang Miaozhu imitated her mother's example and thanked her obediently.
Zhao Lihe smiled and rubbed her head, then turned to look at the Dingyuan Army at the edge of the teaching field.
"Is this the Dingyuan Army formed by Lao Wang?"
"That's right."
Deng Yougang nodded: "Although everything seems to be stitched together, there should still be some fighting capacity - do you plan to take them together?"
Zhao Lihe shook his head: "No, let them stay in Lin'an and guard Wang Chuyi's throne. For the Northern Expedition, our First Armored Division of Great Xia is enough. There is no need for them to make unnecessary sacrifices." .”
Deng Yougang nodded, turned to look at Lin'an, and said with a smile: "But before that, let's take down Lin'an first!"
…
…
In the first year of Kaixi of the Southern Song Dynasty, magical soldiers descended from the sky on the northeast teaching field of Lin'an City, and the Dingyuan Army mutinied.
Since Jianyan's southward crossing, the remaining strength of the three yamen in the capital suffered a devastating blow. After the southward crossing, the three yamen basically had offices but no soldiers.
Therefore, the Forbidden Army of the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to have been re-established from scratch, from less than 30,000 people at the beginning to about 127,000 people in the early years of Longxing. But here is a new one. The problem is that Lin'an City is just a temporary choice for the emperor. It is already exhausted as the capital of the country. It is really overloaded to feed the 127,000-strong Forbidden Army.
So in March of the seventh year of Qiandao, Song Xiaozong ordered Ma Junsi, one of the three yamen, to move from Lin'an Prefecture to Jiankang Prefecture, and officially changed Ma Junsi's name to Ma Junxingsi. The Song people also gave him the nickname Qisi .
After Ma Junsi moved to the defense, about 30,000 troops from his troops moved to the defense.
To this day, the Forbidden Army of the Southern Song Dynasty is no different from the local standing army. They are all armies led by San Yayao.
Therefore, the number of forbidden troops in Lin'an City is actually not large. In addition, when Wang Chu and his group formed the distant army, they recruited many backbones from the forbidden troops, resulting in the current strength of the forbidden troops in Lin'an City being weakened again.
It can be said that the only army with combat effectiveness in the entire Lin'an City is Wang Chuyi's Dingyuan Army.
And when the Dingyuan army mutinied, Lin'an City became an undefended young girl without any resistance.
Even without Daxia's cross-border expeditionary force, more than 12,000 Dingyuan troops alone could easily capture the entire Lin'an city.
Therefore, when the Song Army in Lin'an City saw the suddenly rebellious Dingyuan Army and the black-painted steel behemoths driving on the streets, their little fighting spirit disappeared instantly.
Zhao Lihe's Daxia First Armored Division didn't even fire a single shot. They just relied on the painting and appearance of the armored vehicles and tanks, as well as the slogan of "Heavenly Soldiers Come to the World" shouted by the accompanying Dingyuan Army. Lin'an City was captured effortlessly.
Some ministers of the peace faction even thought that the Jin army had reached Lin'an City, so they hurriedly brought their wives, children and families to kneel in the street to welcome them. They also expressed their willingness to lead the royal army to conquer the palace in the south of Lin'an City and capture Han Yuzhou, Xin Qiji and others who advocated the Northern Expedition to resist the Jin Dynasty. .
The entire Shifang street was filled with wealthy courtiers, but only one white-haired old man who was idle at home dared to block the road with his sword.
Seeing this ridiculous scene, Yang Tiexin, Guo Xiaotian and other Dingyuan Army soldiers felt both ashamed and sad.
Lin'an Lin'an, the country is like its capital, and everything is like its name.
This imperial court that only cares about a corner of peace is rotten to the core and needs a sharp sword to help it dig out the rotten flesh.
Following Zhao Lihe's order, the Dingyuan Army took down all these embarrassing things without hesitation and put them in prison.
Two hours later, except for the imperial palace in the south of the city and the Han Mansion of Han Lanyun's natal family, Lin'an City completely changed hands and fell into the control of Zhao Lihe and the Dingyuan Army.
Outside Taifu Han's Mansion, looking at the familiar tall mansion and the closed door in front of her, Han Lanyun took a deep breath, held her daughter Wang Miaozhu, and knocked on the door of Han Mansion under the protection of the personal guards Ding Xian and Shen Lian.
