    Accompanied by Zhe Yanzhi, Han Shizhong went to Fuzhou to take up his post, preparing to take over the command of the troops in that area from Zhe Keqiu, who had returned to the imperial court.  In his reply to the imperial court, Zhe Keqiu had agreed to take up a post in Beijing and handed over the Zhe family and horses to the newly appointed top military officer of Fu, Feng and Lin prefectures, Han Shizhong.  Zhe Keqiu also said in his reply to the court that he would escort Zhe Yueru to Beijing and prepare to preside over Zhe Yueru's marriage as the head of the Zhe family.  Zhe Keqiu¡¯s reply made many people sigh a sigh of relief.  However, just in case, Zhe Yanzhi, a descendant of the Zhe family, accompanied Han Shizhong to Fuzhou as Minister of the Ministry of War.  However, Wang Chen is no longer worried about chaos in Fuzhou, Fengzhou and Linzhou, and subsequent arrangements can be made according to his ideas.  Yue Fei has also arrived in Youzhou. After taking over Wu Jie's position, he devoted himself to training soldiers and was still actively preparing for war.  However, after Yue Fei returned to Youzhou, the garrison in Yanyun encountered trouble.  Because the Yellow River is in flood, it is difficult to transport grain south of the Yellow River across the river, and it has been blocked for more than a month.  As a result, the food supply in the Yanyun area was insufficient, and there was a food shortage in the army.  The area north of the Yellow River is not yet a place to collect grain. Yue Fei had no choice but to send sergeants to the people to borrow grain while asking for help from the court.  Hearing that the Song Dynasty army guarding the Yanyun area was short of food, the army borrowed food from the people and promised to return it once the official food was delivered. The people in Hebei showed unprecedented enthusiasm and rushed to take out the food stored at home.  , many people were even willing to give their grain to the King of Song Dynasty for free.  All this is due to Wang Chen's courtesy to the people in Hebei when he led his army to regain Hebei. The people in that area even worshiped Wang Chen as a "god".  If Wang Chen hadn¡¯t provided military rations to them, many people might have died of starvation back then. How could they still live and work in peace and contentment now?  What's more, the imperial court is still exempting taxes from the Hebei area, and the Wang division guarding northern Xinjiang is experiencing a shortage of food.  Of course they want to help.  Because of the strong support of the people, the food shortage problem in the Yanyun area was also solved by the time the official rations arrived.  Yue Fei also fulfilled his promise. After the official rations arrived, he immediately returned to the people who gave them according to the conditions originally promised.  But some people who had a lot of food reserves were unwilling to accept it.  After receiving such a report from Yue Fei.  Wang Chen sighed with emotion, "People's support can sometimes be easily gathered. At critical times, the support of the people is stronger than any force!" However, while feeling emotional and moved, Wang Chen was alert to the troubles that may be caused by food shortages.  thing.  He immediately ordered the construction of several large granaries in the north. In winter, when the Yellow River froze and grain could be easily transported, a large amount of grain was stored in the north to avoid trouble.  Wang Chen also ordered Yue Fei to be on the front line of Yanyun.  Build a few more large granaries to prepare for war needs.  If there had not been a sudden shortage of food, Wang Chen would not have thought to consider this issue. After all, the army's food reserves can generally last for about a month, so the sense of crisis is not serious.  However, the Yellow River flooded for more than a month, making it impossible to transport boats and pontoons, and it was impossible to collect grain on a large scale in the north.  This had to wake him up.  It is always a good thing to be prepared, and all proposals in the north need to be properly regulated, including large-scale granary construction.  Yue Fei also immediately carried out Wang Chen's order and hoarded grain and grass on a large scale on the Yanyun front line.  Yue Fei¡¯s move was also detected by the Jin people. They were sensitively aware that the Song army was likely to launch military operations against them.  immediately.  The Kingdom of Jin sent envoys to Youzhou to ask why the Song Dynasty was preparing for war. Yue Fei responded by saying that this move was to solve the famine problem in the north.  However, the Jin people still did not dare to slack off and stepped up their efforts to reorganize their armaments.  So as not to be caught off guard by the Song Dynasty army.  News from the north quickly reached Wang Chen.  In the past few years, carrier pigeons from all places have been connected to Kaifeng. After a large number of carrier pigeons were domesticated, it greatly facilitated the communication of information from various places. What happened in various places could also be conveyed back to Beijing as soon as possible, and the imperial court's will could also be communicated to the capital.  spread everywhere in a short period of time.  Soon after a large number of new granaries were built in the north that were actually used for military purposes, Wang Chen received very definite news that Wanyan Gao, the dark banbo of the Jin Dynasty, had died of illness at the beginning of this year.  Wanyan Gao, also known as Xieye, suddenly fell ill during the last war between Song and Jin Dynasties and could no longer direct the war.  After that, Wang Chen received news that Wanyan Gao had passed away several times, but it was soon confirmed that the news of Wanyan Gao's death was a rumor.  But this time, Wang Chen was finally convinced that he was dead because the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom announced the news and mourned him. ????????????? Wanyan Gao, who is well versed in Ban Bo Ji Lie, is the first heir to the throne of the Jin Kingdom, and his domestic prestige is second only to Emperor Wan Yan Sheng.That is to say, under Wu's begging, the Prime Minister Wanyan Zonghan was not as good as him.  However, Wanyan Gao's military exploits were not as good as those of Wanyan Zonghan, so they often fought over issues such as power and status. This also became the main reason for the instability in the Jin Kingdom.  During the Jingkang period, Wanyan Gao served as the nominal commander-in-chief of the Jin Dynasty's two expeditions to the Song Dynasty. He led his nephew Wanyan Zongwang and cousin Wanyan Zonghan to attack Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. For the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Gao was the most important person.  The death of a deeply hated enemy was something that made people applaud.  Wanyan Gao was a member of the army who fell ill because of too hard marching and fighting. His sons Wanyan Zongyi and Wanyan Ahuli believed that they could have become emperors after their father's death and "invaded" the land of Yanyun with the Song Dynasty.  It was very closely related, so they blamed all the causes of Wanyan Gao's death on the Song Dynasty and Wang Chen, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty at that time.  They also had utter hatred for the Song Dynasty and Wang Chen. After Wanyan Gao was buried, they repeatedly asked Wu to beg for help and then sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty to avenge their father and Banbo, the master of the Jin Dynasty.  It¡¯s just that Wu Qimai didn¡¯t agree to Wanyan Zongyi and Wanyan Ahuli¡¯s request.  After Wanyan Gao passed away, the successor to the throne would have to be chosen by another person. The order in the court had changed. Everything needed to be decided and managed by him as the emperor. How could he still have the energy to launch a war?  What's more, the current Daikin has not recovered its vitality. Even if it has the energy to launch a war, it does not have the strength.  Another point is that Wu Qimai himself is also suffering from illness. He is deeply afraid that he may die one day if he is not careful.  Now, what Wu Qimai is most anxious to do is how to determine the successor to the throne and stabilize the domestic situation, not to fight.  Wu Qimai's father, Wanyan Qimai, had five legitimate sons, namely, the eldest son Wanyan Wu Yashu, the second son Wanyan Min (Aguda), the third son Wanyan Adai, and the fourth son Wanyan Sheng (Wu Qimai).  Mai), the fifth son Wanyan Gao (Xie Ye), now except Wu Qimai, all other direct brothers are dead. If the successor to the throne is determined based on the ancestral system, then he will have no brothers to stand on.  Wu Qimai very much wanted to appoint his eldest son Wanyan Zongpan (Puluhu) as Banbo Jilie and the heir to the throne of Daijin, but he knew that this would definitely be opposed by everyone, especially Wanyan Zonghan.  Therefore, he did not dare to have any ideas. Finally, after some painful consideration, he issued an edict to change the brother-to-brother system and the old system. He made Banbo Jilie, the eldest grandson of King Taizu of Jin Dynasty and King Wanyan Dan of Liang Dynasty, the heir to the throne, and he was still the marshal of the capital.  job.  Wanyan Dan, whose Jurchen name is Hela, is the eldest grandson of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda. His father is Wanyan Zongjun, the eldest son of Jin Taizu.  Logically speaking, Wanyan Zongjun is the current first heir to the throne, but this guy was also unlucky and passed away a few years ago.  Wanyan Aguda's surviving sons include Wanyan Zongqian (Oben), Wanyan Zongyao (¶ïÀï¶à), Wanyan Zongbi (Wushu), Wanyan Zongjun (¶ïLUGUAN), Wanyan Zongchao (Wulie) and many other legitimate concubines.  In order to get the throne of Dajin, these people fought openly and secretly there when Wanyan Gao was seriously ill. After Wanyan Gao passed away, the fight became even more intense.  Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, and Wanyanchang formed their own sect. They were almost at odds with Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongqian, and Wanyan Xiyin. They could only go to war. If Wu Qi hired any one of these people, it would lead to  Others are dissatisfied.  In the end, Wu Qimai decisively changed his mind, shattering everyone's hopes, and appointed Aguda's eldest son, Wanyan Dan, as Ban Bojilie.  Regarding Wu Qimai's decision, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Xiyin and other most powerful clan members in Jin Dynasty expressed their support, but Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan  Chang and others were firmly opposed. They said that Emperor Taizu's grandson should not be listed as the heir to the throne on the grounds that Emperor Taizu still had a lot of sons.  But because of Wu Qimai¡¯s pressure, they could only swallow their anger for the time being.  However, most of the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom, including Wu Qimai, knew that if the power of the government was not consolidated and the power of Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyanchang and others were not severely attacked, the Jin Kingdom would continue to suffer for a long time.  was in turmoil, especially after Wanyan Quan succeeded to the throne.  ¡°After all, Wanyan Dan is still young, only sixteen years old now. He has no prestige in the country and cannot convince the public.  Wu Qimai was also afraid. The Song Dynasty took advantage of the chaos in the Jin Dynasty and led its troops to invade.  "The Kingdom of Jin is very lively!" After receiving these messages, integrating and confirming them, Wang Chen jokingly said to Yu Yunwen, who was discussing the matter with him: "If Wu Qimai dies soon, then the Kingdom of Jin will definitely  They will fall into temporary chaos, and the various factions will start fighting among themselves, and the nest will be full of troubles!" "Your Highness, we have to hope that their fights with each other will become more and more intense, and it is best to even go to war!  "Yu Yunwen chuckled and said, "That way we can take advantage of it. We can take advantage of the Jin people's weakness to send troops to attack and destroy the so-called Great Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop."If the burning is strong, then we need to add more firewood. It seems that in the next time, we will use strong medicine on the Jin people to make the fighting in the Jin people's nest even more fierce, and let them start fighting on their own!" Wang Chen said,  He stopped smiling and said to Yu Yunwen in a low voice: "Binfu, the people we deployed before did not play a very big role. Next, we will send more people to the Kingdom of Jin. This matter is up to you personally.  Take responsibility!" "Yes, Your Highness!"
