Chapter 354 Who can't think of it
Yan Po and Wu Xuanming met out of Wura City together.
In September, the sky in Liaodong began to become bleak.
However, both of them smiled, as if spring had been lowered in this black soil in advance.
Many people came outside the city, and many things were brought about.
It was Song Jiu who came. The reason why Zhao Kuangyi asked Song Jiu to be sentenced to Dengzhou was all a cover. The real use of Yi was to ask Song Jiu to go to Liaodong to assist Wu Xuanming.
Who would have thought?
Of course, only a few people know the truth, and it is kept confidential to the outside world.
The two politely welcomed Song Jiu to the city. He was accompanied by Gao Qiong, Yang Yanyu, Yang Yanzhao, as well as more than a dozen academy students and more than a hundred imperial guards. Gao Qiong and the others not only wanted to protect Song Jiu, but also were responsible for commanding and training the Jurchen army. The students were going to teach the Jurchens to farm and establish mature systems.
They came and brought generous gifts, a large number of weapons, and some farm tools.
After entering the city, several important figures sat down.
The Khitan used the army to Youyun, which made Song Jiu's trip very safe and arrived in Wura City without any danger. Along the way, Song Jiu learned the local language, which was definitely not the Song Dynasty language or Mandarin. I don't know if it was the Mandarin language later, but it was somewhat like the pronunciation of Mandarin.
Song Jiu is not very familiar with him, so everyone talks very slowly when communicating.
Wu Xuanming gave a deep courteous ceremony and said, "I really didn't expect the court to let Mr. Song come to us."
Logically speaking, this is a backward country, because Song Jiu proposed that there were contacts. Wu Xuanming sent an envoy to the capital as early as last year. After hearing some situations in the Song Dynasty, he also knew Song Jiu's status in the Song Dynasty.
Song Jiu came in person, which made Wu Xuanming flattered.
In fact, they are not strong and lack self-confidence. In addition, the Song Dynasty provided them with a lot of support. If it were Wanyan Aguda, they would not take it seriously.
Song Jiu's face was calm, but he said in his heart that it was a good start, and it was also an unknown. God knows what these Jurchens would think. Now it seems that they still appreciate this kind of love, so that would be easier.
Therefore, he said slowly: "King, I am here. I am mainly to assist the king and General Yan to make your country stronger and restore the glory of the Bohai Kingdom in the past."
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng."
"No need to thank you. Let me give you a few ideas. You can see if you can accept it. If you want to be strong, the first thing is the situation. Now the Khitan and our dynasty are in war, and the focus is all on Yanyun. The troops are also placed in Yanyun area, and the rear has few troops. This gives you a chance to rise. If you waste this opportunity, you will be enslaved by the Khitans forever."
"Does your country have a great victory?" Yan Po asked.
"Our dynasty has only been using troops for a few months. We have taken Taiyuan and then attacked Youzhou. It was only a long time since the soldiers were tired and his majesty is kind, so he retreated. But don't worry, our dynasty is not interested in the Northeast, and only looks for the Yanyun area."
"That's good."
"But if you want to seize this opportunity, you have to do it step by step. First of all, look at those two people. If they start to beat them up, who will win?" Song Jiuzhiyuan's two guards, one tall and strong, and the other a little thinner.
Needless to say, the result was. Song Jiu said again: "But if the thin man was three, who would win?"
"This is the first suggestion I have provided. For the time being, you should not put your eyes in the south, but you cannot be satisfied with the current situation. Your strength is too poor at the moment. Once the Khitan recovers, your country of Wushe will be destroyed. Therefore, you must put it in the northeast and northern regions."
That is, the Five Kingdoms Ministry and the Wanyan Ministry near Huanglong Mansion and other Jurchen tribes were born.
"You have a large number of elite weapons provided by our dynasty. Your strength is far superior to them, but you cannot just attack. You can either win over or attack. When the Khitan cannot pay attention to you, unify this area and strengthen your strength. But this must be divided into order. First, join forces with the Anding Kingdom of Wuzhaodu (now Olga, the Russian coastal Krai), and then jointly deal with the northeast and the divisions on the northern foot of Changbai Mountain. Where the Khitan will not pay much attention to it. After annexing them, their strength will be further strengthened. One thing to do is to submit to the Khitan and confuse them, and at the same time deal with the tribes and Tieli near Huanglong Mansion."
"Supreme?"
"Supreme is an illusion, which is to win the time for you to annex other tribes. Once these tribes are united and their strength is growing, you will no longer need to surrender. At that time, you will have to put forward the righteousness."
"Great righteousness?" Yan Po and Wu Xuanming had no idea of its function at all.
"It is to justify your name. You must establish a country and become king. Only in this way can you have greater appeal. Then you will use the banner to expel the Khitan, return the Bohai Sea, and occupy the entire Liaodong."
Yan and Wu thought deeply.
"This is the strategy I provide, and there is training. The soldiers of our dynasty are not as strong as your Bohai warriors, so why do they have the upper hand when fighting with the Khitan?" Song Jiu was bragging, which also gave them confidence: "It is not only the military factor, but the war with the Khitans in our dynasty, and the more they won with fewer victory. The key reason is, first, the command ability of the generals, and the military is well-trained, with strict military discipline, and clear rewards and punishments. I brought several generals and more than 100 guards, and they will train your tribal warriors to make them stronger."
"Okay." Yan Po said.
He was a former Khitan general and knew more about military knowledge.
"The third is the system. Without a system, there will be no order. I provide you with a system, a joint system between the various ministries. As long as you agree to restore the glory of the Bohai Kingdom, the leaders of the large tribes can be appointed as kings, and the leaders of the small and medium tribes can be appointed as the prefect, and also give them the right to discuss matters. At the same time, you use some weapons and support provided by our dynasty to reward them so that you can win over and make your wholehearted. But one thing is, once you use troops, each tribe must take the initiative to send troops to compete with the Khitan."
To have a mature system, more details are needed. This must be done slowly, and what Song Jiu said is just a rough idea.
"The fourth is economy and production. You have many valuable products, such as fur and medicinal materials, etc. I will give you some support and transport them to our court to exchange for what you need. At the same time, there is farming. Although the Northeast has only one season of harvest, it is all fertile black soil, and you can plant spring wheat and beans and millet. But your cultivation method is too backward. Now I bring some people to teach your people to plant and promote this advanced farming method in the future. It will feed more people and don't worry about the supply of food and grass during war. As long as you accept these four points, a powerful Bohai Kingdom will stand."
This is Song Jiu's inspiration in Zhuozhou City.
Yelu Xiu Ge is seriously injured and has not wanted to get better in the past few months.
However, Xiao Yanyan was an extremely competitive woman. Once Youzhou recovered slightly, she would inevitably take revenge on the Song Dynasty. Without Yelu Xiu Ge, other generals, Song Jiu might not take it seriously.
During his conversation with Zhao Kuangyi, he repeatedly reminded Zhao Kuangyi to attach importance to this Yelu Xiu Ge.
That was a person whose level of monster was comparable to Han Xin.
As long as the Khitan retaliates, it may fail, and the Khitan will re-appoint Yelu Xiuge. This delay will take more than a year.
With this time, with the support of the court and under the guidance of Song Jiu, the Wushe Country was able to extend its strength to the vicinity of Huanglong Mansion, and even merged the rear Anding Kingdom and other places one by one.
At the same time, relevant systems were established, and even advanced farming methods were gradually promoted. At that time, the Khitan realized that the Wushe Kingdom had long been too big to lose.
If it doesn't matter, the Wushe Congress will go south. The entire Liaodong will be lost. If it is in charge, it will at least contain more than 100,000 Khitan troops.
Coupled with the south of the Song Dynasty, it will become a fatal poison of the Khitan.
Just to realize it, Song Jiu might have to stay in the bitter and cold Liaodong for more than two years. So Zhao Kuangyi was filled with emotion.
There are both good sides to the facts and bad sides.
At the suggestion of Song Jiu, Wushe Kingdom slowed down and became king, accumulated grain, and expressed surrender to the Khitan. At that time, the Khitan was fighting with the Song Dynasty in full swing. After receiving the news, the Northeast was in a bitter and cold manner, the Khitan did not pay much attention to it, so he happily accepted their surrender and appointed Wu Xuanming as the Grand Tutor, expressing his silence to Wu Xuanming's expansion.
Moreover, the so-called system formulated by Song Jiu is very confusing.
There is only one benefit mentioned. Everyone must assist in sending troops, but everyone has shared the income from sending troops and has not raised taxes. A country must have a complete tax system. Otherwise, it will be difficult for this country to develop.
However, did Song Jiu really want the Jurchens to establish a great Jin Kingdom in Liaodong in advance?
In addition, with the support of the Song Dynasty, the country of Wushe became stronger and stronger, and many tribes expressed their surrender.
The expansion speed almost exceeded Song Jiu's expectations.
The bad side is the so-called Anding Kingdom. They were in the depths of Liaodong, close to the later Sea of Japan. They were also very backward. After expelling a few Khitan officers and soldiers, they had no idea of losing their lips and being cold, so they did not agree to unite the two countries.
It was not until the autumn of the following year that the country of Wushe further strengthened its strength and used troops to the east and defeated Anding Kingdom, that Wu Zhaodu did not express surrender. However, he had little influence, and was also far away from the five countries in the northeast. However, Song Jiu unexpectedly discovered that Anding Kingdom had a good port, and he did not know that this was the later Bay of Olga.
That is, from then on, the Song Dynasty wanted to provide supplies and weapons, and no longer needed to go through the Yalu River route, but directly transport supplies to this harbor from the sea ship, and directly from the rear to Wushe Kingdom, thus eliminating many risks.
...
Song Jiu went to the Northeast, and this news was strictly confidential.
Even Pan Mei didn't know that this caused Pan Mei to think randomly at home. His Majesty is indeed a very narrow-minded person.
In fact, from this time on, Zhao Kuangyi attached more and more importance to Song Jiu.
Song Jiu is a loyal minister, but what about some other people?
Because of sympathy, history often ignores the incident that happened in Zhuozhou City.
Shi Shouxin and the others wanted to support Zhao Dezhao, which happened in the Ming Dynasty, but how long did Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty be arrested by the Tatars? The country had no king for several months, and Yu Qian and others supported Emperor Daizong of Ming to be the emperor.
During the Battle of Gaoliang River, Zhao Kuangyi was missing for only two days and his whereabouts were unknown. Shi Shouxin and others wanted to be promoted and made a fortune, and were ready to support Zhao Dezhao.
Zhao Kuangyi couldn't speak, after all, this premise was that he had shamelessly escaped, resulting in his whereabouts unknown. But what did he think deep in his heart?
The first one is the tragedy that led to the Zhao Dezhao brothers.
The second one led to Zhao Kuangyi's suspicion even more.
The third one made Zhao Kuangyi even more worried about these generals.
So at that time, Song Jiu sighed besides stopping it in time.
When he returned to the capital, Zhao Kuangyi issued three edicts. First, he ordered Shi Shouxin, the left-behind guard in Xijing, conquered Fan Yang, and supervised the former army to lose the rules, and was responsible for the appointment of Chongxin Jiedu and the right-behind governor. It was also the right-behind governor and Jiedu. However, at this time, the Jiedu became a false position, and the most important position was taken away by Luoyang Jiedu.
Shi Shouxin knew it well, and compared with the punishment result, it was considered a good thing, and he thanked him very much.
Then Duan Sigong, who was the chief supervisor, used official money to make utensils in Qinzhou, and in the name of offering sacrifices, bought wool and tiger skin from the people. He was issued by the magistrate Wang Yanfan and demoted to Shaofu Shaoguan. Duan Sigong made many mistakes in office because he was ignorant of his studies, but he was considered a good official. Many officials reported by Wang Yanfan were making these two similar mistakes, but because Zhao Kuangyi was angry, he was demoted.
This has nothing to do with Zhuozhou.
Then the third edict was issued. Liu Yu, the governor of Zhangxin, was appointed as the inspector of Suzhou, and Shi Gui, the governor of Guangzhou, was appointed as the Sima of Wuding, who were all on the verge of Fanyang. The troops in his army were disturbed and lost their rules.
What are the dereliction of duty between Shi Liu and Shi? Who can run faster than Zhao Kuangyi? Of course, the real reason is that it is impossible to say it.
Only one person was rewarded.
He used Yang Ye as the Zhengzhou Observer, and then asked Pan Mei to deploy all three intersections of Hedong to prevent the Khitan from invading.
