Chapter 14 Negotiations
Wang Qing rushed over and said to Wang Pu: "Mr. I heard that the foreign troops nearby have come to the north and are about to escape to Dangxiang!"
Wang Pu waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry! If they rebel over there, there may not be any good days. Such things will sooner or later cause chaos! You just need to do your best and build the house before the weather is warm. Living your own life is better than anything else!"
Wang Qing nodded, then leaned forward and whispered: "But, many people in our clan have relatives with them--"
"Why are you talking about relatives at this time? Let's tell the people in the clan, even if they are relatives, and know that they are not far from us, don't go over and walk around. Once you get into trouble, no one can save them!"
Wang Pu was determined and sent Wang Qing away and asked him to inform his tribe. After Wang Qing left, Wang Pu was upset. Looking at the white ice and snow everywhere, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Du Zhongxiao drew the land, and Wang Pu came with the men of the clan and began to build houses and pave roads. The officials of the government sent them free of charge, and Wang Pu only brought people to rammed earth and built walls and put some effort into building a home. When the spring began, the tribe drove cattle and sheep to this new home and started a new life. The government promised to provide food, and as long as there was food, all difficulties were not difficult. In order to welcome the new life, Wang Pu even changed the title of his clan members, not the leader, but the official.
A few days ago, more and more foreign tribes fled to Dangxiang. The General Secretary turned a blind eye and showed an increasing trend, even spreading to Zhenwu County in the west. One of the foreign tribes near Wang Pu went to the bank of the Yellow River in the north and heard that he was going to escape to Dangxiang. After hearing this, the people in the clan talked about it. The two tribes were close, and many people had related ties, which made Wang Pu feel upset.
Wang Pu firmly believed that it was not a good thing, and he wanted to cause a big disaster. But the Manager didn't care about it, and the things he expected were all gone, which made Wang Pu feel frightened. The more the government ignored this kind of thing, the bigger the chaos that happened later. He could only strictly restrain the clan members and not get involved.
Looking at the dark sky, the white earth, occasionally dotted with a few yellow trees, Wang Pu sighed. Why is it so difficult to live a good life? After the Song army came, as long as the foreign tribes who did not commit the law, they actually lived a good life, so why did they escape?
In Dulun Village, Qingning Deguang took a big sip of wine, bit a piece of meat, and said to Liu Sheng in a vague way: "Okay, okay, in just over ten days, more than 2,000 entries have come! If you do this well, the Prime Minister will definitely be rewarded! In two months, he will start farming and planting. The Prime Minister has collected farm tools in Xiazhou and waited for that day! If the large area of land in the south is cultivated, he will not produce much grain in a year, and the Prime Minister will definitely like it!"
Liu Sheng laughed with him, sat aside, and took a sip of wine from time to time.
Things went too smoothly, which made Liu Sheng feel more and more uneasy. The land was vast and sparsely populated, and the most precious wealth was the population. In a short period of time, so many households fled, and the government of Hequ Road in the Song Dynasty ignored the government, which made people unable to understand. If something happened abnormal, it would be a monster. Liu Sheng always felt that this was not a good thing.
At this moment, a soldier came in and said with his hands crossed his hands: "Taiwei, the village chief, there is a Song official from outside, saying that it is in the public office of the Jinsu army."
After hearing this, Liu Sheng hurriedly stood up and said, "What is that person's purpose? Is it a private matter or a business?"
The soldier said: "It was a businessman to go back to the village leader. He took the seal and said he wanted to meet the village leader."
Liu Sheng crossed his hands to Qingning Deguang: "Grandmaster, be happy, the youngest, go and see that man."
Qingning Deguang nodded: "Just go. If there is any difficulty, let me know and I will have the country to decide for you!"
Liu Shengyingnuo walked out of the door and arrived at the front gate. Soon, the soldiers led a man wearing the Song Dynasty uniform.
The man entered the village hall and saw Liu Sheng sitting on it, bowed and bowed: "I am Lu Hong, who is in Jinsuzhou. At the order of the Zhijun, I will negotiate with the village leader about his escape and entering the Xia Kingdom. This is written by Zhijun. Please read it."
He ordered the soldiers to hand over the letter, Liu Shengdao: "This kind of thing has always been a negotiation between the Pacifier and the Military Supervision Department. How can I find me?"
Lu Hong said: "I entered Hequ Road shortly after, and although the magistrate was also a pacifier, there was no one under the Naihe tent, so I had to entrust the local area."
In accordance with the Khitan custom, border disputes such as fugitive households should be the Pacification Envoy Department. The local government reported to the Pacification Envoy Department, and the Pacification Envoy Department carried out the Khitan Military Supervision Office, and then handed over to the local area. Du Zhongxiao was the Hequ Road Strategic Pacification Envoy, and the practice should not be carried out by the Jin Su Army.
However, Han Qi and Du Zhongxiao had decided to have a fight with Dangxiang by taking advantage of the fact that Fanluo defected, and they didn't want to negotiate a result, so they handed over the matter to the Jin Su army. One camp leader and the other army, and the two of them slowly got to the point of striking. After the military preparations were completed, the war started immediately.
Liu Sheng opened the letter, read the content, and put it aside.
The letter was written by Zhang Lin, a wise army of Jin Su Army, saying that he realized that many foreign households had fled to Xia territory recently and asked Liu Sheng to send someone to search and send them back to the Song Dynasty.
After thinking for a while, Liu Sheng said, "I don't know this matter yet. I need to investigate thoroughly before I can reply to Zhijun. Please reply. After a few days, I will find out. There will be official documents to go to Jin Sujun."
Lu Hong bowed: "There is such a long journey for the village leader. I will go back to commit suicide when I get down here."
Seeing Lu Hong leave, Liu Sheng hurriedly took the letter, returned to the back room, and said to Qingning Deguang: "Taiwei, the Song people come to write, let us hand over the defected family households! This is a bit bad!"
Qingning Deguang took the document, glanced casually, threw it aside, and said, "More than two thousand accounts have fled to us, how can this matter be hidden? The Song people came here lightly, and it seems that they did not value this matter. Since this is the case, I will increase my efforts and recruit more agents. If this matter is done, I will definitely reward you because of the reward!"
Liu Shengdao: "Taiwei, the prime minister's reward is a matter for the future. Let's talk about how to reply to the Jin Su army. After escaping two or three thousand tents, such a document came. This matter is unusual! Taiwei, I think the Song people don't care about these foreign households. They just let them escape."
Qingning Deguang said: "Isn't this the best? We want people, they don't care, they all take what they need!"
Liu Sheng sighed: "Taiwei, I have been on the border for many years. When I was on the Khitan opposite me, I had dealt with them for such things. Which official would let the family escape and not take it seriously? The Song people must have plans and should not take it lightly!"
After hearing this, Qingning Deguang laughed: "Master, you are worrying too much! What are the plans of the Song people? Could it be that they are using this as an excuse to attack us? The Dulun Village is as solid as a god. What are the Song people going to fight! If it is besieged, the Prime Minister will send troops to rescue him."
Liu Shengdao: "Don't forget the Grand Marshal, Song Youyou cannons! The cannons are very sharp, and the wall of the Universal Village may not be able to stop them!"
Qingning Deguang was stunned for a moment: "The artillery is so powerful? Even the city wall can collapse? I heard that when the Khitan king was killed by the cannon, he was stared outside the city, and several rounds of cannons were all blown by his side, and that ended up."
Liu Sheng was helpless: "Taiwei, the Khitan came to attack last year, and their cannons knocked down the city walls? Not to mention, the Song army's artillery was much stronger than the Khitan! If the Song army came to attack, how could the small Universal Village defend it!"
