At the end of the autumn of the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, a generation of heroes finally died.

Although Jin was prepared for this matter at home and abroad, his death still caused a great shock! Up and down in the northern country, either act simply like Zhang Jue, or still wait and see like Yelu Yu gambles! Zhang Jue and the others who had just rebelled felt that they had opposed the timing, while Yelu Yu gambled strangely without any signs of instability - was it the dozens of sticks that Ah Gu beat Xiao Qing that scared them? No! No! They are waiting.

Compared with Zhang Jue, Yelu Yu gambled because he surrendered to the Jurchen earlier, so he knew more about the strength of the Han Department! As soon as Liaokou City burned, all the discerning people knew that the crack between the Wanyan Department and the Han Department would no longer be difficult to sew. So Yelu Yu gambled that for him, the biggest opportunity was not the death of Ah Gu, but the opposition of the Han Department! He's waiting there! Wait to see when Hanbe is reversed!

People with such thoughts, tribes with such thoughts, I don't know how many are in the territory of Dajin! Therefore, after Wu Qimai ascended the throne, the first thing was to canonize the generals and princes, and the most striking thing was that the Jin Kingdom had a new vigorous: Zhi Yanchong!

Will Zhi Yanchong accept the canonization?

After the edict arrived in southern Liaoning, almost on the same day, Yang Yingqi immediately arranged for Zhang Xuansu to lead a grand team of civil officials to Huining, firstly to mourn, and secondly, to refuse the good intentions of the new lord of Dajin.

Some straight-hearted people couldn't help but be a little nervous when they saw Zhi Yanchong's refusal, thinking that Hanbu was determined to rebel! But Zong Han's civil official representative in Huining, Han Fang, was amused when he saw it, and hurriedly wrote to the gold owner and told Wu Qimai: Zhi Yanchong's move was not an intentional refusal, but only to fulfill the "due" sealing procedure of the Han people. So Wu Qimai issued an edict for the second time, not allowing Zhi Yanchong to refuse. Zhi Yanchong wrote to resign again, Wu begged to buy the third edict to canonize, and Zhi Yanchong only in Jinmen "help the sick and look north and worship", and accepted the title of "Han Bo Ji Lie", which is at the end of the existing Zhu Bo Ji Lie.

In short, Zhi Yanchong, who has never been pedantic, and Huining, who has always been directly barbaric, both pretended to finish this political show. Wu Qimai, who received the Oriyan Chong Thanksgiving Table, knew that the Han Ministry would be honest for the time being, and he could go to deal with the openly rebellious tribes and appease the soldiers who were about to move. And Zhi Yanchong, who got the edict of canonization, also knew that the Han Department had won precious time, taking advantage of this gap, Yang Yingqi hurriedly started to rebuild Liaokou City, he knew that the next time if Wu Qimai launched an offensive, I was afraid that it would not be as dangerous as this time!

This political showmanship, which lasted for several months, relieved the people of the northern kingdom - not only did the people of the Han Department let go of a stone in their hearts, but even the Jurchen soldiers and generals were temporarily relieved. The Han tribe is no better than the other nations they have conquered, and the gang under the command of the broken horses is so hard that the Jurchens are not sure of victory! And Zhe Yanchong's prestige was so high in the Jin State that the generals below the middle level actually did not approve of the crusade against the Han Dynasty - they could also get wealth from the Han merchants through exchange, so why should they use knives and guns to rob them? Even if you want to use knives and guns, it is obviously much more cost-effective to move other nations than to move the Han Department! For example, Da Song! Due to intermarriage, many Jurchens are actually related to the people of the Han Dynasty, and they may not be able to see the contradiction between Akuta and Zhe Yanchong, but in their hearts it is just a power struggle between the fierce people, and the nature of the Jurchen war against Liao is completely different!

It was under this kind of popular sentiment that once the Jurchen army was formed, the trade routes in southern Liaoning immediately became active again. There is even such a situation: the Huining soldiers of the "Southern Tour" have not yet disarmed, and their families have begun to do business with the merchants of the Han Dynasty. After the news spread that Wu Qimai was going to canonize Zheyan Chong as the Han Dynasty, some of the people who were still hesitating were also relieved, and their hands and products continued to pour into Liaokou, which was being rebuilt, and this spontaneous floating population was at least several times more than the 30,000 elite soldiers who were suffocated half to death!

The Liaokou construction site, which was in full swing, was full of stones that Yang Yingqi left for Xiao Tienu but did not use, and it was crowded with a large number of people from the Liaohe River Valley, Yanyun region, and overseas islands. There were enough materials, enough manpower, and the original foundation was still there, so the progress of the project was unexpectedly fast. By the time Orihiko rushed to the table to accept the title of Hanbu Bojilie, the new city wall of Liaokou had basically taken shape. It is a new city by the river and the sea, the scale of the city is more ambitious than the old city, and the style of the city is more militarized. Of course, at this time, the facilities in the city were still only embryos, and due to the implementation of the principle of military priority, there were not many civilian houses for the time being, and even most of the original residents of Liaokou still lived in tents.

This reconstruction of Liaokou was, in a political sense, the first paramilitary offensive of the Wanyan Department against the Han Department declared a failure, and in a commercial sense, it was the gradual northward invasion of a large number of Song merchants! The most obvious of these is the intervention of merchants from eastern Zhejiang.

Due to their early contact with the Han Dynasty, Fujian merchants were extremely powerful within the Han Dynasty. In the early days, there were still Zhao, Liu and other Yanyun families to compete with it, but after the business became bigger, Yanyun merchants appeared to lack stamina, but the merchants of the two Zhejiang provinces gradually had a tendency to catch up, but because they entered late, many areas have long been carved up by other families, although Yang Yingqi intends to balance all aspects of commercial power to avoid monopoly, but the main business areas have been inevitably occupied by the first comers, so at this time Liaokou was rebuilt, and the far-sighted merchant families all contributed money and efforts, especially Zhejiang Chen, Wang, Zhang and other nine families are the most enthusiastic. It turned out that the powerful Zhao, Liu, and Zhang clans in Liaokou were afraid that the Jurchens would go south again and burn Liaokou again, and instead invested all their money in Jinmen, Ryukyu and Tanggu, which they thought were safer—even if these places were far less empty than Liaokou.

The last three months of the fifth year of Xuanhe were an important period for Zhejiang merchants to land in Liaodong, during which they undertook almost half of the reconstruction funds of Liaokou City, and received half of the commercial operations of this military port. Zhao Lumin and others saw that these Wenzhou people and Mingzhou people actually invested money in this place where soldiers fought for "no foresight", thinking that they were crazy for money! In the next few years, this group of Zhedong people did have a hard time. But in the distant future, history will show who is more visionary!

In the spring of the sixth year of Xuanhe, in order to repay the generosity of the merchants of eastern Zhejiang, the Han Yuan Minmin Conference passed an exceptional proposal to shorten the assessment period for the nine major families in eastern Zhejiang and allow their children to become members of the Han Yuan Minmin Conference. At this time, the power of the merchants of eastern Zhejiang in the Han Yuan Ministry's meeting was still very weak, so weak that they could only rely on the Fujian merchants, but after all, this was a good start.
