Chapter 1106 Song and Liao
The war did begin as rat San said, and it began long before the navy arrived in Lishui, Shi Yuansun's strategy was very simple, to drive the Jurchen tribes to the location of the Wanyan tribe as much as possible, which also made the population of the Wanyan tribe more and more.
And after crossing the water, the army of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly stationed down and never took a step forward, and this strategy of camping against the water is simply a taboo for soldiers!
How could Wu Gu Nai and the Jurchen leaders let go of such a good opportunity, the Jurchens who had been trained in blood and fire did not have the same tactics and formations as the Great Song Dynasty, even the Liao people could not compare, but they had the combat experience and jungle wisdom that they commanded.
While losing something, they will also gain something unintentionally, and the Jurchens, who have been hunting nomadic for many years, have gained valuable knowledge in nature, and the methods used to deal with their prey can also be used against their enemies.
What are the Jurchens best at? Naturally, it is hunting, but for them, what they are hunting now is not something else, but the army of the Great Song Dynasty.
Encircling prey is no better for them, the Song army's military camp is stationed on the edge of the water, this irreversible terrain makes it more convenient for the Jurchens to surround them, and the Jurchen army has been dispatched.
Thanks to the purchase of grain in the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the attack, the Wanyan Department has almost become the leader of the Jurchens, and the other remnants are mostly the heads of the Wanyan Tribe, and the Jurchens usually fight in a group in the face of the harsh natural environment, and now the Great Song Dynasty has become their strong enemy, and naturally they have begun to hold together.
At present, only by uniting can we fight against the Great Song Dynasty, a behemoth on a par with the Liao Dynasty.
Wu Gu Nai is not stupid, he has already sent a request for help to his "old protector" Liao Dynasty when he sent troops, and the request is not too much, hoping that the Liao Dynasty can exert pressure on the Great Song Dynasty on the Song-Liao border, which is in the hands of the Liao Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has threatened the Liao Dynasty by building the Great Wall on the Song-Liao border.
It was just an opportunity to join forces with a Shengjuzhen like Wanyanbu, but the Liao Dynasty resolutely opposed sending troops from Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo to attack the Great Song Dynasty with Wanyanbu, although this was likely to eliminate this Song army, but the price may have been to trigger a major war between Song and Liao.
This is not in line with the interests of the Liao Dynasty, the current Liao Dynasty is most afraid of war, because the economy of the Liao Dynasty has begun to dull, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty earn a lot of gold, silver and property from the Liao Dynasty every day, at the beginning of the Liao Dynasty did not feel anything, but soon someone found that the money in the treasury is getting less and less......
In this regard, the Liao Dynasty could only increase troops to Zhongjing Road, pretending to threaten the Great Song Dynasty, building the city wall is not a correct thing, and during this time the Great Wall construction of the Great Song Dynasty did not stop for a moment, since the city wall of Beijing City was repaired, the Great Song Dynasty put all its energy into the great fortification of the Great Wall.
It can be said that the progress is amazing, the pass originally named Yuguan was renamed Shanhaiguan, the construction of this pass made the easternmost edge of the Song-Liao border impregnable, and then it was all the way to the west, and it was repaired to Luanhe City in just one month.
Such a speed can be shocked by the entire Liao Dynasty's court, a month, just one month, the Great Song Dynasty built a three-zhang high city wall in Pingzhou and Zezhou of the Liao Dynasty!
It can be said that the Liao people were frightened, at the beginning they thought that the construction of the Great Wall in the Great Song Dynasty was a matter of labor and money, and the progress was slow, this is not the wall of a city, but the city wall of the Great Song Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away!
For the Liao Dynasty, they knew well the threat of the city wall to the cavalry, and also knew the threat to the Liao Dynasty after the appearance of the city wall.
There is a straight road in Qin, and now there is a highway in the Great Song Dynasty, the transportation capacity of this highway is much stronger than the straight road, there are not many highways in the Great Song Dynasty, the state capitals are connected to each other, and the speed of intricate transportation is amazingly fast.
If the Great Song Dynasty built the Great Wall, it would be connected by highway............ The consequences are unimaginable, this is not just a matter of the Great Liao being unable to go south, but the fact that the Great Song Dynasty can choose to send troops from any pass of the Great Wall to attack the Liao Dynasty anytime and anywhere!
The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty did not care about the threat of the Liao Dynasty at all, and used this threat as an excuse to close the field in Danzhou and Jingzhou.
But fortunately, there was no complete rupture, and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty still traded in the Liao Dynasty, but they only accepted gold and silver, and the latest payment notes issued by the Great Liao were worthless in their eyes.
Because of the protection of the envoys, these Great Song merchants were still politely doing business in the Liao Dynasty, and did not touch the laws of the Liao Dynasty at all.
When the Liao Dynasty began to send troops to Zhongjing Province, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty began to evacuate from the various state capitals of the Liao Dynasty, and even in Shangjing, there was no merchant from the Great Song Dynasty.
They seemed to have made preparations in advance, and they all withdrew in just one day, along with the men of the Great Song Dynasty and Zheng Xiuwen, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty stationed in Shangjing.
When he asked for his resignation, he said very directly, the Liao Dynasty increased its troops in Zhongjingdao, and tens of thousands of troops wandered on the Song-Liao border, as an envoy, he had no way to alleviate this fear, and could only rely on the feelings between the two countries to maintain balance.
The dynasty is in an uproar, and the love is righteous? If the Great Song Dynasty was really affectionate, it would not have built the Great Wall on the Song-Liao border!
The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty left, and the merchants also left, taking away a lot of wealth from the Liao Dynasty, and at the same time using those previous officials to buy a lot of materials, so the officials of the Liao Dynasty began to depreciate again, but this time there was no robbery.
In the eyes of the Liao people, this is a normal thing, these officials are completely useless to them who are about to return to the Great Song Dynasty, and can only be spent in the Liao Dynasty, so it has caused the depreciation of the officials who pay money and circulate in the market.
With the protection of the envoys, the Liao Dynasty could not attack these merchants, once attacked, it would be regarded as a use of troops against the Great Song Dynasty, and no one wanted to provoke a war at this time, the Great Song Dynasty did not want it, and the Liao Dynasty did not want it!
Once the strategic deterrence is seen through, it will be worthless, Zhao Zhen knew that the Liao Dynasty would not send troops, and the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty was still under construction every day, and it was not affected at all.
Zhao Zhen and the officials of the Third Division made a calculation, according to the current speed and manpower to build, as long as the stone is enough, it only takes three years, or even less than three years, to complete the construction of the entire Great Wall.
For the Liao Dynasty, there was another point that shocked them even more, how did the 100,000 army of the Great Song Dynasty appear in the land of the Jurchens? Between the Song and the Jurchens is a Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion in Daliao! Since it is not from land, it is by sea!
Can the warships of the Great Song Dynasty transport soldiers so quickly from the sea?! This latest discovery made the Liao people restless, and there were already divisions in the court, with some advocating sending troops to help the Jurchens deal with the Great Song Dynasty, and even crazier proposing to go south with all the power of the country!
On the one hand, they are orderly and united, and on the other hand, they are still quarreling and fighting, and they are judged from top to bottom............
