"Your Majesty, the Bohai State was established during the Tang Dynasty and was later destroyed by the Liao State, because the Bohai people in the depths of Liaodong constantly resisted, and relatively speaking, they were quite hostile to the Liao State. However, the Bohai people in the southeastern part of Liaodong instead merged with many Han Chinese into the Liao State. Hence the emergence of a new saying, mature girl true, give birth to a girl true, or mature woman straight, give birth to a girl straight. The mature Jurchen is the original Bohai native of the southeastern part of Liaodong, and the raw Jurchen is the former Bohai native of the deep Liaodong. ”

"Is it the Goguryeo country of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Goguryeo is Goguryeo, and the people of the Bohai Kingdom have some Goguryeo people from Liaodong, but more of them are the Yan people, there is a metaphor for this, just like the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty integrated the Xianbei people into the Han people, whether this regime is Xianbei or not, but can it be said that the people of the Central Plains are not Han people, but Xianbei people."

"It turns out that Bohai has nothing to do with Goryeo."

"Balhae has nothing to do with Goryeo, Goguryeo has nothing to do with Goryeo, and the current Goryeo is a country mainly composed of the original Silla Baekje people, and the original Goguryeo is a country slowly founded by the Haguryeo people from the banks of the Yalu River. Even the Hui people were Goryeo, but as their territory expanded, they incorporated a large number of Liaodong people, including a large number of Han Chinese. Your Majesty, you should know that in the past, most of China's sphere of influence spread to the area of Kaegyong, the capital of Goryeo, and in order to develop the area, some Han Chinese were also migrated. Especially in Liaodong, there are also many Han people, but China has declined several times, and these Han people have also been Huized. Therefore, the names of these two countries are very similar, but the ethnic groups are completely different, one is a country dominated by the south-central part of the Goryeo Peninsula, and the other is a country composed of multi-ethnic people in the south-central part of Liaodong. ”

"I understand, just like the Western Regions are not Turkic now. Rather, the Uighurs. ”

"Let's put it that way. But it was the original Western Turks. There are not many real Turkic people, but a country where the original people of various ethnic groups are the main body plus some Turkic peoples are integrated with each other. By the time the Uighurs arose, it was again a kingdom of merging with the Uighurs. However, to be precise, the countries of the Western Regions today, no matter how they analyze their blood, can only be said to be Uighurs, not Turks. ”

This lineage may be very important for future generations. And some of the bumps and sticks really don't make sense.

If it is a little fishy, it is their country, then China will be able to pay it back, at least the Xiongnu will be China's, then Hungary will also be controlled by China......

But this has little to do with what Wang Ju said, Wang Ju avoided this topic and continued: "Especially when Taizong, the scale of the rebellion of the Jurchens was very large, by the way, they also passed through the Yalu River. I have been in contact with Taizong, but I am far away in the depths of Liaodong. Unable to cooperate, our dynasty missed an excellent opportunity to weaken the Liao State. Then the Liao State moved the spring bowl to Changchun Prefecture and carried out some pacification policies for the Jurchen tribes. However, except for a few areas, the effect in the rest of the areas is not significant. ”

"Heavy requisition?"

"It's not a tax, it's too far, and there is a lack of water transportation, so it's very difficult to collect taxes, but although they appeased some of the Jurchens, they still look down on the Jurchens in their hearts, well, this mentality is a bit like I look down on the barbarians to some scholars."

So Wang Ju said repeatedly, don't be afraid of them, don't deliberately buy them, it's okay not to buy, the more you buy, the worse it is, but you can't disdain them. Equal and inclusive integration is king.

This Wang Ju didn't mention much, and continued: "Therefore, there are still some bad phenomena, one is that the Liao State asks for a large number of tributes from the Jurchens every year, such as horses, Beizhu, mink, good dogs, and Haidongqing. Second, in order to deter, sometimes they launched attacks on the Jurchen tribes for no reason, and plundered people and goods. The third is that the Liao State was in the area of Ningjiang Prefecture (northeast of Huanglong Prefecture, now Fuyu), set up a position, forcibly traded, and even blackmailed the Jurchens, humiliating them in every way, commonly known as beating the Jurchens. ”

"Then why did the Jurchens still have to trade?"

"Because of the estrangement between the birth of Jurchen and the Liao State, the two sides are not close, and the more closed they are, the more backward they are, Your Majesty, this is like the Meishan area in the west of my Chaotanzhou. In fact, it is a good thing to put a position, such as Wang Shao's implementation of the city change law in Qinzhou, and the mutual market implemented in Pu'an Prefecture when the minister pacified the south, so that Pu'an Prefecture became prosperous, attracting the surrounding groups to covet, and then launched the invasion. However, in the long run, it is mutually beneficial, and at the same time, it also improves the lives of the people in the surrounding areas, communicates with the outside world, and gradually comes out of the closed, backward and barbaric state, which is conducive to the management of the country. ”

"You mean that Wang Shao's Qinzhou City Yi, your mutual market in Pu'an Prefecture is voluntary, and the Ningjiang Prefecture of Liao is closed because of the Jurchen environment, but they also need a lot of commercial goods, but they have to accept the unfair trade of Liao, even if it is to fight the Jurchen, the Jurchens have to trade and exchange for the items they need."

"Your Majesty is wise, it is exactly like this, although it is helpless, but because of the backward environment, there are too many living items missing, such as an iron pot, an iron pot can often be exchanged for a good horse, the Jurchens do not have it, so they have to make a humiliating transaction, but they are not convinced in their hearts. The second is that the Liao State often sends some envoys to the various ministries to investigate, and these envoys often rely on the strength of the Liao State, so unlike our dynasty, they buy security from the barbarian departments, they are reversed, obviously inspecting, but in fact they often squeeze property, and arbitrarily play with Jurchen women. The last is to take the eagle harrier, that is, Haidongqing. However, Hai Dongqing was extremely clever and very difficult to catch, and once there were too many of them, many Jurchens were forced to run around the mountains and forests all day long because of catching eagles. ”

"So cruel?"

"It's not so cruel, the upper echelons of the Liao State still want to win over and appease, mainly the various noble officials and envoys below, thinking that the Liao State is strong, so they can do whatever they want."

Under the governance of the Liao State, the life of the Jurchens was not very good, but compared with the later oppression of the Khitans by the Jurchens, these exploitations were simply drizzle.

Zhao Ji already vaguely knew Wang Ju's intentions.

"The minister defeated the Western Xia in Gyeongju, because the country's finances were tight, with huge debts, and he could no longer advance westward, but at that time, he discussed with Zhang Zhifu what he would face if he really attacked Xia, especially whether the Liao State would send troops to help. Even now, the minister still can't judge. In addition, the great drought in our dynasty came, and the Liao country came to extort again. Therefore, the minister proposed to place a border army in the east of the Hebei River. 1. Save military expenses. The second is to fill the border defense forces in the east of Hebei and Hedong. At that time, the minister had already instructed the maritime merchants to develop and utilize the other side of the ......"

"The other side has helped us a lot," Zhao said.

Although Wang Ju has explained repeatedly, Zhao Ji will inevitably have some doubts, how much prestige Wang Ju has on the other side, if the prestige is insufficient, it is impossible to be an overseas king, if the prestige is enough, maybe he will be an overseas king.

Although it is true that there is no doubt that Wang Ju will be unfavorable to the Song Dynasty in the future. However, Wang Ju went to the other side to become an overseas king in the future, which made Zhao Ji feel a little uncomfortable when he thought about it.

It's just that Wang Ju has repeatedly stated that he will not be an overseas king, and Zhao Ji is not easy to ask deeply.

Wang Ju also said generously: "That is, if there is no other side, there will be no banking department, and there will be no reform presided over by the ministers. And it will still play a role in the future, such as the benefit of the people. Shen Jian is improving the new machine, and the other side is also improving the new machine. The integration of the two, with the coming and going of craftsmen on the other side every year, the exchange of technology makes the speed of improvement of new machines faster, which is technical. There will also be the provision of gold and silver in the future, the evacuation of the destitute people, the complementarity of goods, the prosperity of trade, the increase of taxes, and so on. However, at that time, the minister did not expect that the other side would become such a large scale, and he only thought that it would be conducive to the economic development of Quanzhou, but in some aspects, the minister thought very far at that time, that is, to send a ship to the Jurchen side and contact the Jurchen. ”

"So early?"

"Your Majesty, Helan Shi is even earlier, almost more than twenty years."

Zhao Ji sighed at first, and then gloomily, maybe this is a war, a war to be prepared for, and the war he launched was too hurried, too ridiculous.

"At that time, the minister did not say, but the largest island on the other side is vast, there are many semi-arid grasslands, and it is impossible to grow crops, but it is suitable for pasture, so the minister instructed the merchant to send a ship to the Jurchen side to buy the fur of the war horse, and the fur was transported back to our dynasty for trading, but the war horse was brought to the other side for breeding, and later a small number of horses were transported from the Dashi side to improve the horse breed."

And these Ma Zhao Ji also saw it.

At the beginning of last summer, the other side loaded 4,000 war horses with a ship, some of the war horses died on the ship, and the rest arrived at the port of Mizhou, immediately got down from the ship, carefully raised, except for a small number of sick horses and died one after another, most of the horses are still alive, and very tall, about the result of improvement, has been successively incorporated into the army.

At the same time, after last autumn, more than 2,000 horses were exchanged from the Jurchens, that is, the real Jurchen horses, which were taller than the Dian horses, but shorter than the Xixia horses.

In fact, Mongolian horses are also very good, hard-working, and it is precisely because of this horse breed that Mongolians once fought all over the world invincible.

However, the Song Dynasty only recognized explosiveness and tallness, and Wang Ju was also unrelenting. However, for the Song Dynasty, it is true that it only needs to value explosiveness, does the Song Dynasty want to learn from the Mongols, travel long distances, and conquer thousands of countries?

Therefore, the army was very eager for the horses on the other side, but they did not have much interest in the horses they got from the Jurchens, in fact, they did not know that the horses on the other side were the result of the improvement of the Jurchen horses. And there are not many of these improved horses, and if one more is brought over this summer, there will not be many of them.

However, this batch of horses was transported in time, and a large number of war horses were obtained from the northwest, which finally made the military horses not so nervous. But there is still a huge gap, not only the Song Dynasty battalions and cavalry need a large number of war horses, but also the border of the Fan army also lacks a large number of war horses, the first battle of the summer, the sacrifice of too many soldiers, also spoiled a large number of war horses. Think about it, once the army enters Western Xia, can it be done without cavalry?

It seems that he got a lot of horses, and he had to leave a little bit for the forbidden cavalry in the capital, where could he be.

But if you get the Western Xia, the war horses will be solved, not to mention the horses of the Western Xia region, if you take the Western Xia, you can buy war horses from the Jiashan region of the Liao State in the northeast, you can buy war horses from the Juyanhai people in the northwest, you can also buy war horses from the Uighurs in the west, and there are horses in the Xihe region, Tengchong horses, and horses on the other side to supplement, then it is enough to build more than 200,000 cavalry.

With this cavalry, don't seek to expand your territory, at least in the future, you can effectively defend against strong enemies in the north.

Wang Ju continued: "In fact, these trades can allow some merchants and Shengjurchen to communicate with each other. ”

"Liao didn't notice?"

"Liaodong is too vast, and the coastal area is very far away from Changchun Prefecture, so these years of trading. It may not have alarmed the Liao State. But it was alarmed. Only maritime trade, Liao has no ability to solve it, and Liao's ability to control the coastal area is very weak. It is precisely because of these trades that some economists are very familiar with the Jurchen tribes. Then last year, the minister instructed the maritime merchants to use the Suzhou area of the fast boat to let them buy Haidongqing at a high price from the mature girl. ”

"Mature girl?"

"The minister just said that these oppressions suffered by the Jurchens were not the original intention of the upper echelons of the Liao State, but mainly the misdeeds of the officials, nobles and envoys below. And the so-called messenger is often a mature woman who works for the tiger. ”

"I see." Zhao said.

Hai Dongqing is difficult to arrest, but the mature Jurchen will not care about the life and death of the people of the Jurchen tribes, it turns out that there is no market, it is a big deal to pay the tasks assigned by the Liao State on time, but now that the maritime merchants of the Song Dynasty have come to buy, there is a market, and the price is still high, so the mature Jurchen will further force the Jurchen tribes to hand over more Hai Dongqing for money, and further push the Jurchen tribes into dire straits.

From the perspective of maritime merchants. Hai Dongqing is indeed a miracle, and he looks very good. Even Zhao Ji heard that there was Hai Dongqing for sale in the capital, so he couldn't help but let the eunuch buy two, and it was someone else.

Therefore, the maritime merchants paid a high price, but also made money, and the ship secretly went to Suzhou (Dalian) in the Liao Kingdom, and it was not only Haidongqing, but also other Liao merchants.

The Shengjurchen became more and more resentful of the Liao State, coupled with the relationship between these merchants and them, if they were instigated at the right time, there would be many rebellions of the Shengjurchen tribes.

Zhao Ji didn't know, in fact, very early on, Wang Ju ordered the maritime merchants to bring a lot of weapons to trade, including compound bows, war knives, but the style is not the style of the Song Dynasty, but changed to the style of the Goryeo Wa Kingdom, and the merchants in the past, they are also talking nonsense, some openly admit that they are Song people, some pretend to be Goryeo, and some pretend to be Wa people, anyway, Liao is the overlord on land, but it is a dwarf on the sea, and I can't figure out whether it is true or false.

With weapons, coupled with all kinds of injustices, at the slightest instigation, some tribes will dare to rebel and revolt.

And this winter, people will be arranged to deliberately instigate, so that when next spring comes, all contradictions will intensify and the Liao State will ignite the flames of war.

This is not the most powerful, by next year, the other side will carefully select 5,000 of the most powerful soldiers, pretending to be Goryeo, why pretend to be Goryeo, the hatred between the Goryeo and the Liao State is also great, so maybe there will be "warriors" who will spontaneously enter Liaodong and take revenge on the Liao State for Goryeo...... And from this year, these 5,000 soldiers began to learn the Korean language, and then these 5,000 soldiers entered the depths of Liaodong.

Wang Ju never underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Liao army, but after so many years, there was no big rebellion in the entire Liaodong, and the Liao garrison was not much, and the place was vast and the troops were scattered.

The difficult thing is the beginning, once the victory begins, there will inevitably be more Jurchen tribes involved, then these 5,000 soldiers will retreat.

But Wang Ju didn't say much about the specific arrangements, and if he said too much, Zhao Ju might be suspicious again.

"How useful will they be?"

"It will do something...... Wang Ju said hesitantly.

That side of the water and soil is easy to cultivate fierce people, including the Han people who went to the northeast of the Guandong, and they also have a fiery personality.

But it can't be exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Jurchens, Wanyan Agu is very powerful, but Wanyan Agu is killed, the actual combat effectiveness of the Jin State has been weakened, if it is not for Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, then even if it is changed to an emperor who has done a little something, let Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Wu Jue join forces, it is enough to drive the Jurchens out of the Central Plains, maybe even the Yanyun region will be recovered.

The rise of the Jurchens for the second time is also the same reason, if it weren't for Li Zicheng, the scum, how could the Qing Dynasty enter the customs?

Therefore, how much containment can be produced on the Liao State next year depends on how many Jurchens participate and how well the command ability of the main general is.

"However, with the containment of Liaodong, the tie of several high-yield crops, and the heavy defense of Hedong in Hebei, I believe that we can win plenty of time."

All kinds of preparations can be said to have been achieved to the extreme, and if he still fails, Wang Ju has no choice.

Zhao Ji's heart calmed down.

Wang Ju returned home.

For the Chinese New Year, everyone has a holiday together.

The capital is even more colorful and very lively.

Wang Ju read the book for a while, and Qiong Niang walked in. Said: "Official." It's rare to be free. Let's go out for a walk. ”

In fact, the other side also celebrates the New Year, and the people on the outskirts of various settlements will also flock to the city to play or buy commercial goods during these days. But even Feng City and Wen City are far from being as prosperous as the capital.

"Then let's go out and have a look."

"yes, I won't see it anymore."

"That's not necessarily, in another ten years, the population on the other side will further expand. There will also be some bustling big cities. The two were talking, and when they came to the door, suddenly Wang Zichuan walked in.

Qiong Niang asked: "Where have you been, I and the officials are going out for a walk, but I can't find you again." ”

In fact, in addition to the Wang Zichuan brothers, the Wang family also had more than a dozen other guards, but the original second eldest son and a group of them were all old, including Yelong Basheng, and stayed on the other side together. Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. Generally, Wang Ju went out with Wang Zichuan and the brothers.

"Where's Purple Mountain?" Qiong Niang asked again.

"Taibao. The second lady, Zishan, he is in Kaifeng Mansion. ”

"Huh?" Wang Ju was also strange.

"Taibao, my brother and I just went out for a walk, and suddenly I heard a common man talking to others, saying that even if the Liao State helps the Western Xia, as long as the Taibao you go to Shaanxi, the Liao State will send troops to our court, and my brother and I feel wrong. There was no such statement before, but today it is different, the official family brought the ministers to a banquet for the Liao envoy and other envoys, about what the Liao envoy said. And I heard the Taibao say before that maybe the Liao envoy would come to speak for the Western Xia. Wang Zichuan wanted to try to express himself clearly, but he was more than brave, but his mouth was not enough, and he blushed.

"I know, you mean that after the banquet was over, some ministers were dissatisfied with me and deliberately sent someone to release this rumor, so you grabbed the people and asked them, but you didn't ask why, so you asked Zishan to send him to Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation."

"Yes, yes, that's what it means."

In fact, there are more and more officials in the capital who respect Wang Ju, but there are also many disciples and grandchildren such as Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang.

Although Wang Zichuan can't say clearly, his analysis is good, in fact, in the early Song Dynasty, Song and Liao were at war, and the Liao State did not have an obvious upper hand, but the more fearful he was, the more he feared, and now the whole country has a phobia of Liao.

Once this news is released, it will be very unfavorable for Wang Ju to go to Shaanxi.

Qiong Niang asked, "How can these people be like this? ”

"What's so strange?" Wang Ju sneered.

For example, Sima Guang, such as Qin Hui, maybe in their hearts, they still think that harmony is precious, and their approach is for the good of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Let's go, let's go to Kaifeng Mansion."

The royal residence is not far from the Fengfu Ya, and it will be there in a while.

The officials of Kaifeng Mansion were also on vacation, but the people sent Wang Zishan to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. Wang Ju said to the official on duty, "Go and bring out the prisoner." ”

An ordinary person, but the clothes look very good, and he is probably a rich and noble family.

"What's your name?" Wang Ju is not qualified to ask about the case, but it doesn't matter if he asks.

"Taibao, the small one is called Chang Mingguan."

"Why did you talk about that?"

"The little ones also listen to others."

"In the battle of Pingxia City, the front-line generals were only half of the strength of Western Xia, but they won such a great victory. They are fighting bloodily for the Great Song Dynasty and guarding the safety of the Great Song Dynasty. What would have happened if they hadn't fought so hard. Once the Hulu invade, because the capital is the richest, it will inevitably be the focus of the Hulu's looting, have you ever thought about it? ”

"The little one knows it's wrong."

"I don't know if it's wrong, if the envoy of the Liao State really said these words today, then it would be fine, but the envoy of the Liao State didn't, just asked about the reason for the battle of Pingxia City, and also asked me to go back. The front-line soldiers are fighting bloodily, but you are spreading rumors everywhere in the capital, shaking the hearts of the army and shaking the hearts of the people, not to know your mistakes, but to be guilty, understand? ”

"Small, small......"

"I will forgive you today and release you home, and if you hear anyone say these words in the future, warn him, there is no such thing at all, if you don't listen, please report it to my house."

"The little one knows."

Wang Juchong left and right the officials and mouthed, and several officials understood and immediately released the person.

"I'm sorry for you." Wang Ju said a kind word, but he couldn't make a few officials happy.

The group walked out, and Wang Zishan asked puzzledly: "Taibao, is it released like this?" ”

"If you don't release it, and he doesn't admit it, what should I do? Twenty months later, all rumors were naturally shattered. ”

The twenty months that Wang Ju said meant that in more than a year, the army would break through Xingqing Mansion, and if Xingqing Mansion could not be breached by next autumn, then the future attack on Xia would most likely mean failure.

This is like a small dish in front of him, using all kinds of means to get the stupid horse down.

But if you rely on the means to get to the top, you have to have the ability to make the bend economy better, otherwise it won't be long before the side dishes are still angry.

However, it's not easy to say, if the international economic situation improves, or the kneeling office continues to go to Wanwan to kneel down to give a big gift package, and Xiaocai makes proper use of this dividend, then the means are available, the political achievements are there, and the Wanwan will be led by her to a more toxic road.

Therefore, these means should not be underestimated.

And if the operation is done properly, Wang Anshi will see the people calling at the pigs on the way back to his hometown, and come to eat......

Or Yuan Chonghuan was beheaded, and the people of the whole Beijing poured in to eat his flesh and skin raw!

Thinking of this, he said, "Leave him alone, let's walk around." ”

It turned out to be walking everywhere, but this time it was a purposeful walk.

A few people came to Maqian Street, and went into a few alleys to turn around, anyway, it was "unintentional" to go, so they walked into the fine willow lane, this alley is quite famous in the capital, inhabited by many talented and talented leaders, Qiong Niang also lived here before.

However, Qiong Niang is a real Qingqi person, although she turned here, her expression was also very calm, and there was no other look.

Even the couple talked about some topics of Fengyue.

They are looking at the scenery and looking at the pedestrians, they are the scenery themselves.

Many people recognized Wang Ju and kept calling Taibao, and after a few years, many people's lives have indeed changed for the better, and they are still very grateful to Wang Ju.

Wang Ju also kept arching his hand to show that he would return the courtesy.

The group continued to wander down "unintentionally" in the crowd of other people, and on an attic on the edge of the alley here, a beautiful maid said: "Lady, Taibao, that's Taibao." ”

An even more beautiful girl walked to the railing and looked at Wang Ju and his party.

The servant said: "Hey, Taibao has been in the future for a long time, and he is so ruthless that he doesn't even look at us." ”

"Maybe his concubine is a vinegar jar......"

"You can't do this with the vinegar jar, lady, you have ...... Hey," the maid shouted loudly at Wang Ju's back, and the girl didn't cover her mouth.

However, at this time, Wang Ju had already left them some distance from here, and there were many people, so Wang Ju didn't hear it at all. But even if he hears it, he won't pay attention.

"Yikes!" The maid stomped her feet in anger, and the girl finally shed tears. (To be continued.) )
