Chapter 10 Take Qin Hui to fight gold! (Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards)
Please be in front, soldiers and horses behind!
The words of the official Zhao Ji are clear.
On the Chongzheng Palace, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Kai, the envoy and marshal of Hebei soldiers and horses.
Of course, Zhao Kai didn't want to ask Jin for peace, if he asked for peace, wouldn't it be a traitor to the north to resist Jin? He is the chosen one, how can he do something that betrays the country and begs for mercy? However, Zhao Kai is still a little clever, and he also knows that Song Huizong must be united now, so as not to turn around immediately after the Great Song official family who was forced to resist Jin leaves Tokyo City.
In addition, Zhao Kai also wanted to cheat millions of peace funds from Song Huizong...... Seeking peace, it's impossible to be empty-handed, you must send money to a woman!
"Father, the son knows his father's heart." Zhao Kai said with a smile, "This is actually Erchen's intention...... We haven't tried to make peace with the gold thief now, how can we escape in a hurry? Compared with giving up the great country of the Central Plains and escaping, even if you give a year of three million taels of silver plus the territory of Yanshan Mansion, it is also very cost-effective.
Yanshan Mansion was not handed down by our ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, it was the territory that my father bought from the gold thief, so I should buy it at a loss now. As for the three million taels of silver...... It is used as a rich poison to feed the scrap gold thief warriors! Maybe after twenty or thirty years, the gold thief will be the same as the Khitan. Moreover, the gold thief took our silver, and it still had to be used to buy our silk and satin, porcelain and lacquerware. The silver is in their hands, and they will eventually return to the Great Song Dynasty. β
The matter of ceding land and paying money can be said so positively that the officials in the Chongzheng Palace don't know whether to refute it or not?
Zhao Ji listened to these bastard words, but nodded again and again, thinking: I haven't even tried to cut the land and pay the money! Why did you want to run away from the Zen position? I'm so dizzy!
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji smiled and said to his son Zhao Kai: "As the old saying goes: the king has a minister, and he will not die in his country; The Father has a son; Immortal ...... San Lang, you are my son! If it weren't for you entering the palace to advise, I would not be the Ninety-Five Supreme now, and I would have lost the country! β
He may be sincere in what he said, or maybe he is trying to coax Zhao Kai, the "son" - now the six hundred soldiers loyal to Zhao Kai are still guarding outside the Chongzheng Palace!
"The father has won the award, this is the duty of the son of a son." Zhao Kai really felt that his father's behavior of forcing his father to resist gold was great filial piety, and he would definitely be able to be on the "Book of Filial Piety" in the future.
After a few modest sentences, he changed his words and asked Zhao Jidao, "Father, now Yanshan Mansion is under the control of the gold thief, and whether it is cut or not, it is the same for the Jin barbarians." Therefore, if the ministers want to show their sincerity in the peace talks, they can only give money...... Why do you have to give a year's worth of coins first, right? β
"A year's worth of coins...... That's three million! Zhao Ji nodded, "Li Bangyan, how much savings do you have in the treasury now?" Can you get three million goods? β
Dazai Li Bangyan, the prime minister of the Eastern Mansion, hurriedly went out of class and played: "Back to the official's house, since the declaration of peace, the imperial court has used troops year after year, and the expenses are huge, and Zuozang is becoming more and more empty...... However, there are still a lot of treasures in the vault and sealed piles, among which there are still 30 or 40 million copper coins, no less than 3 million taels of silver, more than 200,000 taels of gold, and 2 or 3 million pieces of cloth and silk. β
What the? Da Song is so rich! Zhao Kai listened to Li Bangyan's words and immediately regretted it. He was dizzy, and he didn't think about how much money there was in the Great Song Dynasty for a while (in fact, it turned out that Zhao Kai didn't know the specific number), and as a result, he only needed a lot of money in his opinion - three million. Unexpectedly, there were tens of millions of dollars in the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty. I knew that the lion should have opened his mouth, and I had to ask him for 10 million!
"Okay," Zhao Ji nodded and said with a smile, "It's good to have money...... San Lang, you can rest assured and boldly go and talk to Jin Ren, my Da Song has money to give New Year's coins! I can first take out 2,000,000 taels of silver, 500,000 taels of money, and 500,000 horses of silk silk from the inner treasure and use them to buy the returnee. β
Zhao Kaixin said: If you have money to give New Year's coins, but you don't have money to fight gold thieves, you deserve to go to Wuguo City to drink the northeast wind!
"Father," Zhao Kai had to continue to pretend to be a "traitor" in his face, so he continued to say to Zhao Ji, "These three million silver, money, and silk are not a small number, and the hundreds of men and horses commanded by the fifth personal follower of the Imperial City Division of Erchen are probably not enough to escort these silver across the Yellow River!"
Moreover, if the golden thief opens his mouth, the sons will have to use the three million to lure the Hebei army and deal with the thieves. However, the way to control the army lies in the combination of grace and power, and it is not enough to have enough personal soldiers with silver. Therefore, Erchen also wanted to draw some strong from the guard infantry army and the Shengjie army, plus thousands of military horses, and go north with Erchen. In addition, Erchen also wants to transfer a few civil ministers and military attachΓ©s as right-hand men to go to Hebei together, and ask his father to agree with him. β
"You want to transfer troops?" Zhao Ji frowned a little when he heard that his son wanted soldiers, he was willing to give the money, but the soldiers were reluctant.
Because he is now blocked in Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo!
The two brothers Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai are resolutely not to be officials, and his mess can't be shaken off, of course, he can't leave Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo. Since he can't get rid of the mess, of course he has to hold on to the life-saving army.
"Erchen doesn't need many soldiers," Zhao Kai knew Zhao Ji's thoughts, and he didn't look down on the army in Tokyo, so he said, "Erchen only took two or three thousand people to Hebei." In addition to the 600 people who personally obeyed the fifth command, Erchen also wanted 3 or 400 personal officials, more than 1,000 people from the first cavalry general of the Shengjie Army, and 300 infantry troops who entered the palace with Erchen today, and hundreds of soldiers who guarded the horses of Tiansi. In addition, Erchen also wanted to select 5,000 horses from the Mu Camel Gang Horse Farm to carry the goods. β
"It's not much...... Zhao Ji stroked his beard and thought about it, the fifth commander was Zhao Kai's people, and the three or four hundred relatives should also be Zhao Kai's people, and the three hundred people He Guan brought into the palace definitely couldn't ask for it. Although the first cavalry general of the Shengjie Army is elite, there are only more than 1,000 people after all, and Xiang Ke, the general who led the troops, also served as a commander in the fifth command, and the relationship with Zhao Kai is extraordinary. Leaving this army in the city of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Ji was not very relieved.
As for the soldiers who raised horses in Mu Huogang, it was nothing, so they were given. Military horses can also be given, and although the number of five thousand is a lot, it is not impossible to get it.
At present, there are 20,000 military horses in the Mutuogang Horse Farm in the northwest of Tokyo under the supervision of Tiansi, and in addition, there are nearly 10,000 cavalry in the city of Tokyo, and the military horses equipped are also about 10,000. Combined, in the territory of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo alone, there are more than 30,000 military horses!
Although the quality of these 30,000 military horses is not very good, the number is definitely a lot, take out 5,000 to Zhao Kai, and there are still 25,000 left available, which is enough...... Anyway, Zhao Ji had already made up his mind, as soon as the gold thief came, he ordered people to defend Kaifeng City and resolutely not go out of the city, so there was no need for many military horses.
"Okay," Zhao Ji nodded, "You can give both soldiers and horses...... San Lang, you just said that you want a few civil servants and military attachΓ©s, who do you want? Tell me that I will send it to you! β
Zhao Kai said: "Father, the minister is not welcome." In addition to a few officials of the Imperial City Division led by Erchen and the people of Yunwangfu, Erchen also wants He Guan, He Ji, He Moss father and son, and also wants Xiang Ke, the general of the Shengjie Army. β
As he spoke, he saw the dignified Liu Qi again, so he said: "And this gate is also quite powerful, and Erchen also wants to take him to Hebei to find some achievements."
In addition, Erchen also wanted a Wenchen and Chen Ji to serve as the chief of the palace and the Sima of the palace respectively. β
In the Song Dynasty, there were high-ranking subordinate officials such as Prince Fu, Prince Changshi, and Prince Mansion Sima, but they were not permanent, and it was only in the early days of the founding of the country that people held such official positions. After the reign of Song Taizong, the princes were already the object of prevention, and naturally their subordinate officials had to be reduced. What Wang Fu, Changshi, and Sima all disappeared from the palace.
"Okay," Zhao Ji asked with a smile, "I don't know which civil official San Lang wants?" β
Zhao Kai glanced at Qin Hui, the big traitor who was shrinking in the crowd, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Erchen wants Zuo Si to admonish Qin Hui!" β
Qin Hui trembled when he heard this, and he was busy going out of work to excuse himself, but Zhao Ji had already spoken: "But also, Qin Hui is really good, let him be your long history!" β
Zhao Kai glanced at Qin Hui coldly again, and said in his heart: You're finished! Honestly follow this king to fight against gold!
