Liu Zhiheng left Xiangyang, and then took two hundred Quanzhen teacher brothers to the Iron Palm Gang. After conquering the Iron Palm Gang with tough methods, he took control of Wuzhishan.
After getting an unexpected fortune, he began to recruit troops.
Diligent in military training, Liu Zhiheng formed a cavalry team of 5,000 people in a short period of time.
Then he began his military career of conquering east and west.
Liu Zhiheng was very strategic in his approach. He captured and occupied the cities or fortresses where the Song and Jin Dynasties met, like a sharp knife piercing the hearts of the two countries.
The Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom were not unprepared for this rebel team, but Liu Zhiheng's cavalry was too flexible. Every time they sent a large number of troops to encircle Liu Zhiheng, Liu Zhiheng would leave early. This made Song and Jin very angry.
In fact, the Song Dynasty was a little better. After Liu Zhiheng captured the city, he never harmed innocent people. As for the Jin people in the Jin Kingdom's city, Liu Zhiheng killed every one of them.
After occupying a certain number of cities, Liu Zhiheng suddenly stopped his conquest, and then implemented benevolent policies in the territories he captured, lowering the people's land rents, abolishing the harsh punishments of sitting and waiting, and even giving labor force to repair the city walls. subsidies for the people.
For a time, Liu Zhiheng's reputation for benevolence and righteousness spread throughout the north.
Coupled with Liu Zhiheng's deliberate exaggeration, such a paragraph appeared in the north.
"He is a white light in the dark night sky, bringing infinite hope to the people. Wherever he is, justice and peace will remain forever. He is Liu Zhiheng, the God of War in white."
General's Mansion, this is where Liu Zhiheng lives now.
On this day, a woman wearing a light yellow dress came to the house. She was holding a long green flute. She had a fair face and was playful.
"Brother, you are indeed a person who has done great things. In just two years, you have captured such a large place." Huang Rong murmured while looking at the heavily guarded general's mansion.
Huang Rong did not hesitate and strode forward into the mansion.
Within a moment, Liu Zhiheng took time out from his busy schedule to meet Huang Rong.
He was only twenty-five years old and had already grown a beard. Due to his long years of fighting and holding a high position, his temperament was noble and full of majesty. However, when Liu Zhiheng saw Huang Rong, his guard was still broken.
His stern face showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Cheng Yaojia and Huang Rong were the only two people in the world who had close physical contact with him.
"Rong'er."
"Brother." As soon as the two met, they were attracted to each other like iron and stone.
Fortunately, Liu Zhiheng transferred people away in advance and no one saw this scene.
Then the two began to chat about the past two years.
It turned out that after Huang Rong helped Guo Jing capture Khwarezm, she was reluctant to return to the Central Plains because she felt guilty for being a third party, so she wandered in the west, intending to increase her knowledge and use her time to forget Liu Zhiheng.
However, this kind of longing cannot be broken off easily. Even if Huang Rong is smart, she cannot deceive her feelings for Liu Zhiheng. From the beginning, she refuses to go back, and then she hopes that Liu Zhiheng will come to her and then come to her door.
When Liu Zhiheng heard Huang Rong complaining about himself, he suddenly asked with warmth in his heart: "Rong'er, do you still want to leave?"
Huang Rong's smart eyes rolled, and she wanted to say naughtily, "Of course I have to leave, I just came to see you."
When this sentence came to my lips, I couldn't say it at all.
"If I don't leave, I will follow you from now on. You have to treat me well." Huang Rong said emotionally.
Liu Zhiheng looked at Huang Rong's tearful eyes and pitiful expression, and felt pity for her. He stepped forward and hugged Huang Rong and said, "Of course."
.......
It is impossible to be secretive, not even in this generation. On the second day after Huang Rong moved into the general's mansion, Liu Zhiheng confessed his affair with Huang Rong to Cheng Yaojia.
After being surprised and pained, Cheng Yaojia accepted Huang Rong magnanimously.
After all, what can you do as a woman? With Liu Zhiheng becoming more and more powerful, there are already many people who are willing to send their unmarried daughters to the general's mansion.
As Liu Zhiheng's wife, and being born into a merchant family, she is under a lot of pressure.
Thinking about it this way, it is a good thing that senior brother and Huang Rong are together. At least they are not giving others an advantage.
Strictly speaking, Liu Zhiheng and Huang Rong were together as concubines, and they did not necessarily need to purchase concubines. However, Liu Zhiheng was not a native of the Song Dynasty. His 21st century thoughts on the matter of polygamy, It feels particularly exciting.
So he married Huang Rong with the same scale and enthusiasm as when he married Cheng Yaojia.
The implication is that Cheng Yaojia and Huang Rong both attach equal importance to themselves.
This winter, Liu Zhiheng held his wedding to Huang Rong. At the wedding, Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong, who were not expected to be invited, unexpectedly showed up.
At that very big banquet, Guo Jing watched Yan Xiao, Yan Yan, Liu Zhiheng and Huang Rong drink a lot of wine and got very drunk.
After marriage, everything becomes normal.
After Guo Jing witnessed the wedding of Liu Zhiheng and Huang Rong, he also returned to Xiangyang. He heard that he found a wife not long after.
The younger sibling's surname is Li. She looks similar to Huang Rong, but she is not as smart as Huang Rong. She is a good family who can support her husband and raise her children.
Seeing this, Liu Zhiheng was relieved.
A year later, Huang Rong gave birth to a daughter for Liu Zhiheng. Liu Zhiheng named her Liu Yifei, which only represented a father's best wishes for his daughter's appearance.
As for Liu Yishou, the eldest son born to Cheng Yaojia, he is already three years old. He is white and fat, like a doll in a New Year painting.
At this time, he was standing beside his little mother's bed, looking at the infant Liu Yifei, smiling very happily.
He finally has a sister.
........
One year spent similar, each year is different.
More than ten years have passed. During this time, Liu Zhiheng was accompanying his children to grow up and expand his power, and at the same time, he finally got rid of Genghis Khan.
Unfettered, he carried the troops accumulated over the years and attacked the Kingdom of Jin first. He captured the capital with thunderous force, became the new king, and officially founded the country with the name "Ming".
"Ming" symbolizes hope and future.
Although the People's Republic of China has been founded, Liu Zhiheng still has a strong sense of urgency.
You must know that although Genghis Khan died and Mongolia was also facing internal strife, according to historical development, Mongolia still defeated the Song Dynasty and established the Yuan Dynasty, the first country in history led by an ethnic minority.
Liu Zhiheng knew that population is the primary productive force. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the policy of governing the country has been to focus on agriculture. In response to the aristocratic family's occupation of large amounts of fertile land, he implemented the policy of planting more and handing over more, and he also opposed slavery. Reforms were carried out, calling for everyone to have the most basic human rights and not allowing the sale of people.
Of course, when he implemented these new laws, he encountered many hardships.
But Liu Zhiheng was never afraid of this. After killing several notorious families with his own hands, the Ming Dynasty's national power flourished and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
In order to prevent the country from being invaded, while improving the treatment of soldiers and expanding the army, Liu Zhiheng boldly recruited people from all over the world to form a secret assassination team to assassinate the leader of the Mongolian and Song Dynasties.
Because the Ming and Song lands were bordering each other, and the strength of the Ming State was rising, while the Song State was beaten by the Mongols and was unable to fight back, a large number of Song people went to settle in the Ming State.
Regarding this phenomenon, Liu Zhiheng supported this phenomenon with both hands and feet, and issued laws to treat the people of the Song Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty equally.
However, due to the issue of succession, the earliest people of the Ming Dynasty still lived a more comfortable life than those who came after them.
At this time, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was frightened by the Mongols, sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, hoping to sign a treaty with the Ming Dynasty on peaceful coexistence and joint defense against enemies.
After Liu Zhiheng severely blackmailed Song Guo, he agreed.
Although Mongolia is powerful, there is nothing it can do about the alliance between Song and Ming, let alone its internal troubles.
