"Is this millus unreliable?" The planter asked with joy or sorrow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Ju spread his hands, it was the first time he had even heard this name talk, how did he know if it was reliable.

However, Wang Ju was stunned and said: "Jianzhong, you must immediately lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to return to Yanzhou first." ”

Mogus sent a piece of information saying that the Liao State had put down the Liaodong rebellion and the army had retreated, which was not too accurate.

Not long ago, several clippers arrived at the port of Mizhou with many family members of the Jurchen chieftains, mainly because the weather in the north was cold and the wind was sailing, so the arrival time at the port of Mizhou was relatively late.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the leaders, Lu Hui persuaded them to transfer their wives and children, but so far Lu Hui still did not say that they would be transferred to the Song Dynasty, but that they would be transferred to the Wa Kingdom. But Lu Hui instructed again, after arriving at the destination, if the arrangements are made, let their family draw some specific characters or tokens, but these characters and tokens are only clear to them.

There is no way, there are almost no literate people who give birth to Jurchen.

The people of the Central Plains have been hospitable since ancient times, and they have been of great help to the Song Dynasty.

After arriving in Mizhou, the imperial court immediately issued an edict asking the Mizhou officials to immediately give a lot of money for food, clothing, and money, and make proper arrangements.

Safe and sound, even far more than the expectations of these family members, they naturally handed over their respective seals of safety to Lu Hui's subordinates, and some of them were even able to use these seals to express more complex meanings, not only came safely, but also were very good here.

Lu Hui's subordinates returned to Liaodong with some materials and these seals that were in short supply in Liaodong, and they were able to work hard.

This is also the arrangement that Wang Ju instructed last year, and the difficulty of handling it is very low, so Wang Ju didn't care too much.

But after the arrival of these ships, Lu Hui also asked his subordinates to send a valuable piece of information.

Of course, at this time, the imperial court also understood the significance of Liaodong's containment to Vaxia, and after receiving this information, it was immediately delivered to Wang Ju with a special foot, so at least Wang Ju had a clear understanding of the Liaodong battlefield.

The scale of this rebellion in Liaodong was very large, once taking Yinzhou, almost threatening the safety of the Liao city of Tokyo, and then setting up an ambush on the bank of the Kuhan River, drowning tens of thousands of Liao troops, which made Yelu Hongji furious and launched an army of 200,000.

Subsequently, thousands of soldiers and horses on the other side withdrew from the Yalu River, and took the opportunity to blame Goryeo. But Lu Hui and several main generals stayed, leading these Shengjuzhen to continue to fight against the Liao State.

Lu Hui did a good job this time, but he was not as talented as Wanyan Aguta, under the repeated encirclement and suppression of the huge Liao army, and after fighting for so long, the people of all tribes were also harmed, so the Liao State used some co-optation policies to divide some tribes, plus the cooperation of these tribes, the rebels were annihilated or forced to surrender one after another, and now it is not a guerrilla tactic, but a tactic of hiding in Tibet.

Lu Hui was helpless, and led the rest of the people to cross the Mingtong River and sneak to the Nasal Bone Deren area, where the terrain was extremely harsh and full of cold forests, swamps and meadows. That is to say, since the autumn of last year, some of the main forces of the Liao State have withdrawn from Liaodong, but the Song Dynasty's intelligence network on the Liao side is not developed, so there is no inquiry.

But fortunately, Lu Hui knew the severity and saw that the Liao army was withdrawn, so he led the remnants again, crossed the Mingtong River, and attacked the various new strongholds of the Liao State, causing the Liao State to leave nearly half of its troops and continue to sweep up. Then the cold winter came, the snow was heavy, and everyone rested together. However, because of Wang Ju's order, the fleet on the other side used ships to send many valuable materials in this winter, including cold materials, food, weapons, medicinal materials, etc., so that this soldier and horse got a good rest.

This spring, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and Lu Hui took them to continue to fight against the Liao army.

But it can't be said that this information of Moguth is useless, it is still valuable.

Because it revealed two pieces of news, the first one is this spring, it may be that the Liao State has annihilated many rebels again, and the remaining rebels are no longer enough to threaten the stability of Liaodong, so the Liao State withdrew the rest of the main army.

Of course, as long as the other side continues to support all kinds of materials, this group of rebels does not make serious mistakes, and there are no six or seven years, they are all annihilated.

The second is that although a lot of fine armor was half-sold and half-sent to Goryeo, perhaps Goryeo did not have the courage to agree to some humiliating conditions of the Liao State, and perhaps the Liao State chose to rescue the Western Xia in the end in the choice between taking revenge on Goryeo and rescuing the Western Xia.

Only then did Wang Ju ask the seed master to divide a group of soldiers and horses and withdraw to Yanzhou.

The planter left the big tent and went down to count the soldiers and horses.

Wang Ju asked people to bring the secret envoy sent by Mogus, and then took out a large map, and first said: "Your big leader abandons the darkness and turns to the light, and a certain is very welcome, but it is only a few words, how can a certain believe?" ”

Zhi Keshi stood on the side to translate, because the divination has been isolated from the Central Plains for a long time, and few people can speak Chinese, so they have to use the party language to communicate.

"General, you must believe it."

"Believe? Our Great Song Dynasty has no grudge against you, but you have no grudge against you, regardless of thousands of miles away, you came to the summer realm from the desert and attacked our army, this is the reason for a certain believer? And your big boss also asks us to provide weapons, in case your big boss gets these weapons and uses them to fight our army, isn't it a big joke? ”

"No, no."

"Since the Liao lord ordered you to enter Xiazhou City, you will say to your big leader when you go back, enter Xiazhou City immediately, and then kill all the Western Xia officers and soldiers in Xiazhou City together, and then send someone to inform me of the officers and soldiers of Yinzhou and hand over Xiazhou City to them."

Without the orders of the Liao State, it was very easy for this cavalry to enter the city of Xiazhou, as long as they entered the city, the Western Xia people were not prepared, and they easily completed Wang Ju's instructions.

This is the petition.

The secret envoy's face was embarrassed, and the Song people were happy to do this, but the Liao State was going to work hard.

"Aren't you as good as a bunch of uncivilized Jurchens? The Liao State has come to an end, and it cannot be called the overlord of the grassland. And the birth girl is really isolated and helpless, but as long as you obstruct the divination people to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, it is our Great Song Dynasty standing behind it. ”

If Zhao Ji is alive, he will definitely support the divination people in disguise, and he may not send troops to help, but he can change it to other ways. But as soon as Zhao Ji died, it would be difficult to say.

However, Wang Ju is definitely not fooling!

"I'll show you some armor."

It is impossible to support the divinators, and it is impossible for the imperial court to agree.

But there is no shortage of other sharp weapons in the Song Dynasty, Wang Ju asked Wang Zishan to bring a few sets of horse armor, sabers, and a new style of bow and arrow, it is still a compound bow, but as the Song Dynasty has continued to expand its territory over the years, especially won the Hehuang region, and obtained a large number of war horses, thus arming many cavalry.

Wang Ju found that the original bows and arrows were not suitable for cavalry, including the original two composite bows, the black lacquer bow, the yellow birch bow, the white birch bow and the hemp back bow. So Wang Ju asked the bow makers of the Ordnance Supervisor to make repeated improvements and develop a new type of bow, which is quite similar to the combination of the Ming Dynasty's small bow and the West passionwood bow. Of course, Wang Ju didn't know what the Ming Dynasty Xiaoxiao bow looked like, its range and penetration were not as good as the original composite bows, but the requirements for pulling force were lower, and it was easier to release arrows, which also meant that although it shortened the range, it was more convenient and faster to release arrows.

After repeated improvements, it has now been widely promoted among the cavalry of the Song Dynasty.

What is the power of these kinds of armor swords, bows and arrows, these divination warriors have experienced it firsthand.

Wang Ju let this secret envoy experience it for himself, and then said: "As long as you can fulfill a certain condition, and someone will send you out of Yinshan, he will immediately hand you 10,000 sabers and war bows, and at the same time deliver you 100,000 arrows and 5,000 sets of horse armor. ”

Excluding freight, the cost of these weapons alone reached more than 200,000 yuan.

But as long as the diviner turns against the Liao State, it is worth it.

Not only this condition, but also a condition that makes people feel more excited.

Wang Ju brought him to the map again, pointed to the map, and said, "Soon our army will be able to wipe out the Western Xia, and an army has already reached Juyanhai." ”

This secret envoy is inexplicable.

Wang Ju said again: "The price of the horses you obstruct is low, but in my dynasty, a fine war horse can reach fifty or sixty yuan, and an ordinary war horse can reach thirty yuan. Do you know how much money is worth? A coarse silk in my dynasty is only worth the same amount of money. ”

Now the Guan is the new Guan, the standard of 1,000 yuan, if in the silk production area, the actual consistent money can buy a very good silk silk!

There is no need to make comparisons, Wang Ju is really worried that these divination people will not be able to figure out the relevant prices.

Why do you say this, Liao really has no shortage of war horses, just like in May of the previous year, Liao checked the number of horses in the country, and found that the number of horses reached one million because of the increase in breeding, so he rewarded each group of herdsmen. This is only the number of herding horses, and the actual number is much higher.

However, as a "strategic weapon", the Liao State would rather freeze to death with war horses, and also forbade various tribes to trade with the Song Dynasty with war horses. Therefore, horses were extremely expensive in the Song Dynasty, but the price of horses in some remote areas of the Liao Kingdom was frighteningly low.

As a result, there was a strange trade, the Western Xia used green salt to transport to the Xishan of the Liao State, and used this to exchange a large number of war horses from the Bai Dadan people, the good horses remained, and the bad horses were sent to the security army to trade with the Song Dynasty. Just paid a little green salt, and as soon as it changed hands, he got a large number of good horses, plus various Song Dynasty goods.

Bai Dadan's side is a little better, and it is not too far from the Western Xia and Song Dynasty, and the Xiangsheng Jurchen side often can exchange an iron pot for a good horse. Although the price of a horse cannot be as low as this, it is surprisingly low, and one or two coarse silks can be exchanged for a good horse.

Wang Ju said this to tell him that our Song Dynasty took the Western Xia, and also took Juyanhai, from Juyanhai to the core area of Woluduo City, there are still more than 1,000 kilometers, but there are some nomadic tribes in the north of Juyanhai, just because they chase water and grass and graze, and they have no fixed place, and these nomads are mostly Divination people.

If the trade route is opened, the Divination people can go south from Juyanhai along the weak water river to Ganzhou, or eastward, to Helan Mountain.

Now that the Song Dynasty occupies these areas, it means that war horses can be traded fairly.

Don't expect a horse to be sold to the Song Dynasty for thirty silks, at least a dozen silks.

What does that mean?

And there's more.

Wang Ju continued: "The only neighbor in the north of Juyanhai is your diviners, but the northeast direction of your divination is the Menggu tribes, the eight enemy martyrs tribes, and the Chazara tribe, your north is the Merikyu tribe and the Hulanggai tribes, and your northwest direction is the Mubaga tribe and the Ghasi tribes. Compared with your blockers, they lack all kinds of commercial goods in the Central Plains, and the price of horses is even cheaper! Not only war horses, but also our dynasty also lacks more large livestock, tendons and fur. Do you care? ”

Can this secret envoy still not understand? This means that a single transit can be exchanged for great wealth. Poor, perhaps for them, hundreds of thousands of exquisite silk silks are unimaginable wealth.

And there is another one, the so-called blocking is not a whole, from Juyanhai to the north of Yinshan, west of Heiche Murowei and Wugu Dilie, south of the Meili Urgent Department, and east of the Sticky Bage Department, this vast area belongs to the scope of the Obstruction Department, almost occupying most of the desert.

The southern one is called the Divination Department, which is actually composed of many large and small tribes, and the northern one is called the North Divination Department, and there are nine large tribes in the North Divination Department alone, so it is also known as the Nine Dadan, even if the Liao State canonized Mogusi as the new leader of the Divination people, it cannot fully control the Divination Division, not to mention that Mogusi is about to betray the Liao State immediately. But with the benefit of this trade, Mogus can win over many tribes in order to increase his power.

Before it was over, Wang Ju said again: "What I have also promised to trade is not only the ordinary commercial goods of our dynasty, but also a large number of weapons and armor. ”

This time, the agent's eyes really lit up.

In addition to horses, cattle and sheep, there is a lack of everything, lack of water, lack of cloth, lack of tea, lack of iron utensils, and lack of all kinds of living utensils......

But for the diviners, the most lacking thing is weapons.

After this battle, the Song army will capture a large number of Western Xia armor, and ninety percent will be eliminated.

After Wang Ju returned to the capital from the other side, he once again conducted a strict review of the Ordnance Prison, dozens of officials and craftsmen were sentenced to exile, and four serious embezzlers were sentenced to abandon the city.

Since the ordnance supervisor has taken on a new look again, coupled with the financial health of the imperial court, almost all the weapons and armor of the three armies have been redressed in the past few years. Unqualified, backward, and bulky armor have also been eliminated one after another, but these eliminated armor has become a trouble.

If you return to the furnace, the loss is too great, and if you don't return to the furnace, you will not say where to occupy the space, but also send someone to manage it.

The armor Wang Ju is talking about are these two batches of armor.

After the first battle of Lingzhou Chuan, how advanced the armor of the Song Dynasty was, the divination people saw it.

But how backward the divination armor is, Song Jun also saw it.

These armors may not be able to be seen by the Goryeo and Western Xia people, but for the divination people, they are treasures.

If you really don't want to go, you can also use these armor as the price of broken kitchen knives, half sell and half give to the diviner. At least better than nothing.

In this regard, this spy could not have imagined, but what made him happy was not only that he could get more powerful weapons of the Song Dynasty, but also that there was a season.

When the matter is over, the army will return to Zhubu, arrange for the exchange of goods and livestock, and win over the various departments, and it will be after autumn. It can be a season of sadness for the desert steppe tribes.

Because soon after autumn, it means that winter is coming. Often a heavy snowfall, will freeze to death most of the livestock, not only winter, spring is also dangerous, if you encounter an inverted spring cold, than the cold winter is more harmful, such as a few years ago Liao encountered a rare inverted spring cold, in April the sky suddenly fell more than heavy snow, resulting in seven or eight dead horses, the rest of the livestock frozen to death is countless.

So as soon as autumn arrives, the grassland departments begin to be busy, forage, cold materials, tents, etc.

Therefore, as long as the price of the goods in the Song Dynasty was reasonable, if the number of livestock in the herdsmen's homes was large, they were willing to sell them in this season.

In fact, Wang Ju also thought of this, and in order to prevent the Liao State from sending troops to suppress it, if Mogusi was sincere in leaning towards the Song Dynasty, then there would be a rare large-scale transaction this autumn.

After Zhao Ji's death in the future, what attitude the Song Dynasty will take, Wang Juzhen does not dare to say, but as long as this transaction goes smoothly this year, the divination people will get a large number of weapons, in fact, for them, the most important thing at the moment is not the lack of various commercial goods, but weapons!

Only with sufficient weapons can the future fight against the Liao State, if next spring is safe, Wang Ju may be able to continue to support a batch of excellent armor, plus the batch of armor after the autumn will be traded to the diviner at a low price of half selling and half giving away, so Wang Ju is not a fool of the diviner. As for whether Mogus will fail, if you don't have that ability, why should you be a mob!

Wang Ju asked the secret envoy to return to Huangyangping with those sample weapons, and the conditions he gave him believed that Mogusi would definitely be tempted.

Just looking at the back of him leaving, Wang Ju secretly said in his heart: "Double insurance is available." ”

Then Wang Ju wrote a book and sent it to the capital on a fast horse. Now the possibility of Liao sending troops is infinitely magnified, especially in Hebei, don't look at the construction of many forts and moats, that are all fake, after all, it is mostly a flat place, there is no danger to rely on, so fighting in Hebei completely depends on the skills of soldiers, and Hebei really can't be taken lightly.

As for the book playing in the capital, it will cause some scholars to bite back frantically, but Wang Ju doesn't care...... I'm afraid that you will settle accounts after the fall? (To be continued.) )
