Chapter 994: The Emperor Who Owns the Four Seas - Liwei
"Isn't it two million! The official family will not be reluctant, and he has eighty or ninety million yuan in his packaging library. β
"As long as this money is not given publicly, the face of the official family will be saved, and the money will be worth it!"
"Xuan Shuai, I think this matter will be reported by the boat......
"The official family is not a stingy person, so he shouldn't be willing to give it up."
On the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, Wu Haogu sat in the warm pavilion of the flower hall of the martial arts mansion in the Republic Fang, the snow outside the house fell silently, and the heavy snow that fell overnight gradually stopped, and there was a piece of silver makeup everywhere. In addition to Wu Haogu, there are also Murong Wangwu, Zhao Zhongge, Su Shi, Murong Parrot, Ximen Anguo, Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong, Zhang Zhifeng, Zhao Jiaren, He Tianran, Wu Chenglan, Zhang Xizai, Huang Zhisheng and others. They are all members of the core team of Wuhaogu in Jiehe Commercial City.
Today, everyone gathered together, of course, to discuss how to deal with the extortion of the Khitan "Northern Beggars Yanxi".
The requirement of two million is not low, but for the Great Song Dynasty, who has made a windfall, as long as he is black and black-hearted, he will put aside the principle of Kaizi diplomacy and take it out.
In fact, the tribute on the four countries of the Great Food Country, the Three Buddhas Kingdom, the Baltic Kingdom, and the Zhu Yuan Kingdom is the nature of the protection fee, and it is not a courtesy exchange, so naturally it is not applicable to Kaizi diplomacy. You're about to beat people to death, what are you doing?
As for the rest of the countries, they did not give many gifts, and they did not spend a few generous gifts.
Therefore, Wu Haogu only needs to directly report the requirements of the Khitans, and the matter will be over. But at the moment, he didn't say a word, and the two eyebrows, which looked a little sharp, wrinkled more and more tightly.
It seems that here in Jiehe Commercial City, there are also people who are afraid of Liao, but the symptoms are mild.
Since fear of Liao is a disease, it must be cured! After being cured, it will be able to take Youzhou north and even cross the sea into Liaodong in the future. If it can't be cured, if it gets serious in the future, maybe something will happen.
Moreover, there is a cure for the disease! The medicine for Liaophobia is, of course, the new army of the six generals under the Hebei Xuanfu Division.
If the imperial court spent 2 million to buy peace, then when will the new army of six generals be built? The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Hebei Transit Envoy Department have been stuck in the neck, and they have not given money to the establishment. Although the Jiehe Shang City and the Hailu City Shipping and Real Estate Division have private houses, the money cannot be used to recruit troops casually.
The generals pay their own money to recruit troops, and one recruit is tens of thousands! Isn't this a feudal town? The civil officials in the DPRK and China are still not allowed to jump eight feet high?
"Mr. Yanshan," Wu Haogu, who had made up his mind, set his eyes on Murong Wuwu, "Are there any good ministers and famous generals on the Khitan side now?" β
Murong Wangwu was born as a bureaucrat in the Liao State, and he also ran a school in Yanshan for a long time to teach apprentices, and the apprentices he received were all the sons of Yan Yunhaoqiang, so he naturally had a huge network of relationships and was very familiar with the situation in the upper echelons of the Liao State.
Hearing Wu Haogu's question, the old man thought for a while: "Since the death of Yelu, the first level of the Liao State's Zaizhi Privy Council, that is, Ma Renwang, can barely be called a good minister. As for the famous generals, there are definitely none. Yelu Yanxi can't tolerate people, and won't use people, he only believes in Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian, Xiao Sixian and others, at most, plus Xiao Delidi and Xiao Dris, these people are not good choices. β
"What about Yelu Dashi, Xiao Heda and Xiao Gan?" Wu Haogu asked, "Is it possible for Yelu Yanxi to reuse them?" β
Murong Wangwu shook his head: "Chongde (Yelu Dashi) is Xuanshuai's disciple after all, and his foundation in Broken Leaf Town is also indispensable for the support of the Doctor Group, how can it be used by Yelu Yanxi?" Xiao Heda is interested in Da Liao, but Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian, and Xiao Sixian's brothers will not recall Xiao Heda. The old man looked at this Xiao Heda, and he could only fight for Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun in Tianzhu Kingdom for the rest of his life.
As for Xiao Gan...... He is not a high-ranking official, although he has made a few recitals to plead for the training of new cavalry troops, but he has not been reused, and now he seems to be in a stable place. β
That's the problem with family politics!
The imperial examination system of the Northern Song Dynasty called for the way of "promotion from the poor family", and while attracting the scholars of the poor family, it also lowered the requirements for "scholars", no longer paying attention to the literature and martial arts, and deliberately suppressed the samurai in order to maintain the dignity of the scribes, so that the court and the court were all "liberal arts students", and they did not know how to organize a strong army to resist when they encountered a great disaster.
And the family politics, which is better than the imperial examination in cultivating all-round talents in civil and military affairs, also has great shortcomings in the issue of the promotion of scholars. Too cronyism, even within the family, it is necessary to talk about relatives and distance. Therefore, if the ability is a little less reincarnated, it is often not reused. And now Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, because he has lived a life with today and no tomorrow since he was a child, and later relied on his wife Xiao Duoli lazy, so he especially trusts Xiao Duoli's three lazy brothers. And these three, unfortunately, are all incompetent!
Now the politics of Da Liao are in the hands of the three brothers Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian, and Xiao Sixian, plus a sycophant Xiao Delidi, and a Yelu Yan who rolls the dice and throws a prime minister to do it. Oh, and add Ma Zhi's uncle, the magnates and wealthy families of Daliao all say that Ma Renwang is good. None of these can fight. And Yelu Yanxi himself is also a master of the grassland who can't fight.
"What is the strength of the Liao soldiers?" Wu Haogu asked, "Can you conquer the Jiehe Commercial Market?" β
As soon as his question came out, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the warm pavilion suddenly became a little dignified, and everyone looked at Wu Haogu with surprised eyes.
Brother Zhao Zhong hurriedly asked: "Xuan Shuai, are we going to fight Yelu Yanxi?" β
Wu Haogu nodded and said firmly: "Of course, you have to base yourself on fighting!" If you can't get a foothold on fighting now, it won't be easy to call on Yan Yunhao and the Jurchen tribe in the future.
This kind of thing can't be bought alone! β
Of course, recovering Yanyun can't just be bought, and people have to be afraid. Only when Yan Yunhao was afraid of Wu Haogu and knew that no one could defeat the Jiehe Commercial Market, they would take refuge after receiving a few small sums of money.
Otherwise, these guys will be insatiable, and it won't be enough to give them the entire Jiehe Market!
And if you want to be powerful, then it is very good to take a strong man from the outside and the middle of the world.
The Great Liao Son of Heaven has been defeated, why don't those Yan Yun Haoqiang hurry up and kneel? They wouldn't think that their sons could fight better than Yelu Yanxi's palace tent army, right? If you have such a ability, what kind of courtier should you be to the Great Liao Kingdom? The rebellion was successful.
Brother Zhao Zhong took a breath and exchanged glances with Murong Parrot again.
"I'm afraid it won't be possible in the field." Murong Parrot frowned and said, "Although the Liao army is light and unorganized, they will not fight easily. If our army is in good position and they can't find a flaw, they will turn to attack our rear road, ravage the prefectures and counties in Hebei, force us to divide our forces to resist, and then concentrate our forces to find an opportunity to annihilate our troops along the way. β
"You can hold the line of the boundary river." Brother Zhao Zhong shook his head and said, "As long as it's not the freezing season, the area around the Jiehe River and Juma River should be maintained." We have warships on the water, and there are thousands of elite cavalry that can shelter along the river, so that the Khitan cavalry who cross the river to reconnoiter will not return. If he couldn't find out the truth and truth, Yelu Yanxi would not dare to cross the river easily for a decisive battle. β
"What about Zhendingfu Road and Dingzhou Road?" Murong Parrot asked, "Gaoyangguan Road and coastal roads are not afraid, there is a boundary river - Juma River can be relied on, and there are also boundary river elite soldiers can rely on, and they can always block the Khitans." But Zhendingfu Road and Dingzhou Road will inevitably be ravaged by the Khitans, and when the time comes, Xuan Shuai will be caught by the traitors in the court. β
"Is it okay to talk and fight, and fight without breaking?" Wu Haogu asked.
"This ......" Murong forgot to worry about his white brows, stroking his white beard, "Xuan Shuai, it's certain to talk and fight, but Zhendingfu Road and Dingzhou Road will inevitably be ravaged."
Of course, we also have a way to fight back! β
"Use the navy to harass Liaodong?" Wu Haogu asked.
"Yes!" Murong forgot his worries and said, "There are also Jurchens and Bohai people...... If the Jurchens attacked the nine cities built by the Goryeo people in Haoladian and attacked Goryeo, Yelu Yanxi would definitely retreat. β
"Is Goryeo so important to the Khitans?"
"Goryeo is a country of farming," Murong forgot to worry, "Jurchen taking Goryeo is equivalent to Khitan Deyouzhou." So the Khitans will definitely not allow such a thing to happen!
Moreover, if the Jurchens use our gunpowder to break through the cities of the Goryeo, the Khitans will definitely know that our Great Song Dynasty has formed an alliance with the Jurchens. Do you say that Yelu Yanxi can still abandon Goryeo? β
The Jurchens allied with the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Liao had to hold Goryeo to achieve a balance of power. Moreover, the Jurchens who fished and hunted got the Goryeo of farming, and the consequences were indeed unbearable for the Khitans!
"Shiro," Wu Haogu turned back to Huang Zhisheng and said, "Arrange for a few sapper military attachΓ©s who can build siege equipment and dig tunnels to help the Jurchens on the battlefield of Haoladian." β
"Whoa." Huang Zhisheng answered, and asked again, "Xuan Shuai, do you want to bring a burst arrow and black powder?" β
"Take it." Wu Hao Gu said, "I still have to take it out and use it...... Otherwise, how would the Khitans know that our Great Song Dynasty was helping the Jurchens? β
In fact, the Goryeo city did not need to be dealt with by gunpowder at all, and it was taken by building some traditional siege equipment.
But if you want to come like that, who knows that Da Song and Wanyan are colluding together?
The Khitan people still have to be careful, and beware of the birth of a girl!
"Xuan Shuai," Su Shi interjected at this time, "Xiao Baoxian has received the holy decree of the Khitan Emperor and is coming to us!" Although he is not an official envoy, we can't give him a closed door, right? Moreover, on the official side, you can't fail to report it, right? β
As long as Zhao Ji knows the conditions brought by Xiao Baoxian, most of them will pay for peace in private.
Wu Haogu smiled: "This matter is easy to do, let's scare Xiao Bao first, so that he knows how powerful the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers are." β
