Chapter 365: Willing to Give Everything
Vice General Miao nodded and responded, he still had some worries now, "Master Jia, do I think things are a bit big?" In case the Empress Dowager Xie knows, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. ”
Jia Rudao didn't care at all, and waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll leave it to Jia Ye for now, hehe, I want to see what they can do, even if Empress Dowager Xie knows, Jia Ye, I have something to say, do you know?"
"It's Jia Ye, my subordinates know."
"Well, you can go with confidence, just go and ask for silver, if something happens, Master Jia and I will be responsible."
In just ten days, the entire large and small antique shops in Lin'an have been pitted by Jia Rudao, each of which is a thousand taels of silver, which shows how powerful these shops are. Ten days later, the Xuande Palace, this day came to the morning time, everyone gradually entered the main hall, and then knelt down one by one.
After a while, Empress Dowager Xie came on time and led the little emperor Song Gongzong, at this moment he didn't know what kind of situation the Southern Song Dynasty had fallen into, and he didn't know at all. All the civil and military officials knelt down to greet them, and with a wave of Empress Dowager Xie, everyone had already stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say anything today, just tell me how many soldiers you have recruited recently? 100,000 per adult?"
Lakh? Everyone was taken aback, it would be nice to have 100,000, so that the Southern Song Dynasty would not suffer, and it would not be destroyed in the hands of Kublai Khan.
Don't say it's 100,000, it's impossible to have 10,000, and the most people hire people with silver, only a hundred, but they don't dare to tell each other about such a scene.
Some ministers knelt on the ground, "Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen is not talented, and now only about 3,000 soldiers have been recruited, which is far from enough, the Queen Mother." ”
There are also humanitarians: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid 100,000 people are enough, the current people, even if you threaten them with a knife, they don't want to join the army, in the final analysis, the Southern Song Dynasty is too corrupt, and the people don't want to join the army."
Empress Dowager Xie's face changed greatly, she knew that this matter was not to blame for these people in the Hall of Choice, but the previous civil and military officials, who had already killed the Southern Song Dynasty, and the reason why the people were like this could be understood no matter what.
Empress Dowager Xie sat slumped in the chair, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old, ten years old. The crowd did not dare to speak, and at this time they should remain silent, otherwise their lives would be in danger.
Empress Dowager Xie finally set her eyes on Jia Rudao, and with the last hope, she said earnestly: "Jia Aiqing, it's already this time now, is it.... Don't you pay a little attention? Look at it, I've reached the most dangerous time in the Southern Song Dynasty. ”
"Although he Kublai Khan has returned to China, we don't dare to be careless, in case... When is Wan coming back, so what are we going to do? Are you watching them attack?"
Jia Rudao didn't know what to do at all, he could only talk nonsense now, dragging on one day at a time.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed in recruiting in Lin'an, because ah, the people have already been offended, and now it seems that we only have one chance.
"What chance?" Empress Dowager Xie spoke earnestly.
This... Queen Mother, think about it, since Lin'an is no longer good, why don't I go to other areas to recruit? It would be better to leave Lin'an, especially in the mountains.
Everyone nodded, this is a good idea, although Jia seems to be a Taoist, but there are a lot of ghost ideas.
Empress Dowager Xie was even more suddenly shocked, she felt that this was good, she could do this.
"Jia Aiqing, you continue to talk about it, tell me your opinion, Aijia is very satisfied, as long as I have this opportunity, hehe, don't say 10 million people, it's not bad to recruit 8 million."
Jia Rudao continued: "Queen Mother, the people in the mountainous areas, they are far away from the city, they have few opportunities to contact officialdom, and at the same time, the officials and envoys are reluctant to go, I think, in contrast, they don't seem to hate officialdom so much."
"As long as Weichen goes with some silver, as long as someone is willing to join the army, he will immediately give two taels of silver to replenish, this is good news, hehe, very, very good." Empress Dowager Xie jumped up directly and clapped her hands, this was a good idea, she decided to do it.
"Jia Aiqing, after the end of the early dynasty for a while, you wait here, the mourning family will give you silver, no matter what happens now, I can't let go of this opportunity in the Southern Song Dynasty."
The latter nodded, not daring to be presumptuous.
Empress Dowager Xie continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, you all learn from Prime Minister Jia, Jia Cai, he is heartbroken for my Southern Song Dynasty, look at it, your hair is gray."
The civil and military officials cursed, but they didn't dare to make a sound, they could only scold in their hearts, offending Jia Rudao in front of them, they didn't have the courage at all.
Empress Dowager Xie was still saying: "If it weren't for Jia Aiqing, my Southern Song Dynasty might have died a long time ago, if it weren't for Jia Aiqing, I'm afraid I would have been occupied by Kublai Khan at this moment."
A minister stepped forward and admonished, "Queen Mother, you old man still don't continue to praise the Prime Minister, do you know how many people across the country have chosen to surrender to Kublai Khan?"
"Although these people have not chosen to mutiny, as long as Kublai Khan gives an order, they can lead troops to attack Lin'an."
Empress Dowager Xie was stunned at that time, the whole person was very, very godless, wasn't it only Jiannan Dongchuan who rebelled? Why is that? Why is this the case?
She pinched her temples hard, trying not to fall to the ground.
There are many people in the entire Xuande Hall who know about it, and they don't plan to say it, because it's useless to say it, and it's better to give up.
This person is still saying: "Queen Mother, such a scene has been there since Song Duzong died, but it's a pity... It's a pity that no one dares to tell the Queen Mother, especially Prime Minister Jia, today Weichen really can't help it.
Jia Rudao looked gloomy and very angry, although he knew, but he couldn't control it at all, now he could only recruit more people to protect Lin'an, praying that he could exist for one more day.
The Xuande Hall is very quiet, so quiet that even everyone's breath can be heard, and it is so quiet that you can hear the sound of everyone's heartbeat, everyone is extremely timid, and now it is up to Kublai Khan to solve this matter.
Empress Dowager Xie said angrily: "Then what should I do? Shall we just leave it at that? I'm in the Southern Song Dynasty court, can't I handle this matter with my eyes in my eyes?"
"You are waiting for the people of the Great Song Dynasty one by one, can't you think of a way to do this? Hundreds of taels a month, or even thousands of taels, did something happen, and they didn't know anything one by one?"
Everyone was silent, and once again fell to their knees on the ground, anxious and angry in their hearts, and wished they had fled from this place earlier.
In the eyes of these civil and military officials, this matter is indeed difficult to handle, hey, it is difficult to do.
Empress Dowager Xie has fire in her heart, and it is difficult for her, and she thinks fiercely in her heart that once the crisis in the Southern Song Dynasty is gone, then these ministers will be replaced one by one except Jia Nidao, it is as simple as that.
After a sigh, Empress Dowager Xie could only focus on Jia Yidao, expecting that he could come up with some way to deal with this matter perfectly.
"Jia Aiqing, tell me your opinion, what should I do now in the Southern Song Dynasty, how to handle this matter perfectly, as long as Kublai Khan can be exterminated, the mourning family is willing to give everything, even if the treasury is empty."
Jia Rudao was silent for a while, and now he has no choice, except to personally go to the mountains to recruit soldiers, now there is no way at all.
At the moment, he has nothing to do but talk nonsense.
"Back to the Queen Mother, Wechen is still the same as I said just now, now I have no way to wait, Wechen can only go to the field to recruit with a large amount of silver, the sooner the better, and I can't continue to delay."
The civil and military officials agreed with the orders, and now they will believe whatever Jia Rudao says, and there is no opinion.
Empress Dowager Xie weighed it for a while, and at this moment she felt that it was the only way to go, the Great Song Dynasty was almost over, what else could she do.
Xuande Palace, the early dynasty lasted for a very, very long period of time, and finally ended at this moment, Empress Dowager Xie ordered the civil and military officials to continue to recruit people, and then left Jia Yidao behind. "Jia Aiqing, there is still one thing that is unclear about the mourning family now, that is, what if these people receive money and they don't join the army? Is my court going to kill them?" If we do this, I am afraid that the misunderstanding will become bigger and bigger, which I can't afford in the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, if the common people continue to attack Lin'an, don't talk about Kublai Khan at that time, I can destroy myself by waiting for myself.
This question stumped Jia Yidao, he thought about it carefully, and had an idea in his heart.
"Queen Mother, I don't think this possibility should exist, you must know that although the current people are dissatisfied with the court, they are so confused?"
"Queen Mother, think about it, why do the people hate us so much? It's not because the court is corrupt, it's because these civil and military officials are corrupt, right?"
"If, if we have any way to extinguish the anger of the people, Queen Mother, do you think it will be much better?"
Empress Dowager Xie's heart sank, and she didn't know what to do.
"Jia Aiqing, since this is the case, then you can talk about it, tell me what to do, whether you want food or silver, the mourning family is not stingy.
Jia Rudao continued: "It is best to bring 10 million catties of grain and silver, and 10 million taels of silver, so I am afraid that it will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Queen Mother, in fact, Weichen's method is very simple and effective, that is, to catch a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and then execute them in front of the people, I think, so that their anger will be much less, and at the same time the Queen Mother.
"We can also give them relief food and relief money, as long as the matter is done, the people will definitely look at us with admiration."
Empress Dowager Xie listened to such an explanation, she understood everything, completely understood, or like this, as long as these two things are done, all problems will be solved. "Haha, Jia Aiqing is worthy of me Jia Aiqing, worthy of being Jia Cai, worthy of being the prime minister of my dynasty, the mourning family is very satisfied with you, there are many ideas.
These words were all accepted by Jia Rudao.
"Queen Mother, you are serious, this matter is actually not difficult, but you need to lose a lot of financial resources, I'm afraid that I will not be able to bear it in the Southern Song Dynasty."
Empress Dowager Xie naturally knows this question, but she doesn't care at all now, she doesn't care at all, she doesn't care at all, the silver court still has it, and there is also food, although it is not much, but it can last for a while.
"Jia Aiqing, since that's the case, then our matter is settled, it's just ..... I wonder when Jia Aiqing plans to act?"
Jia Rudao thought about it for a while, "This matter is more anxious, naturally the sooner the better, the Queen Mother, so Weichen hopes that the Queen Mother can allocate food earlier." ”
Empress Dowager Xie snorted, her expression was straight, and she opened her mouth, "Jia Aiqing, since this is the case, then you should go back first, the mourning family immediately ordered to order the treasury to give you 10 million catties of grain and 10 million silver, which will definitely be delivered before dark tomorrow." ”
Jia Rudao left, soon came to the outside of the palace, and then returned to the barracks. At the same time, Kublai Khan finally walked to the chassis of the original Jin people with a large number of troops, because the Jin State had been destroyed, it had already belonged to Kublai Khan at this moment and belonged to the jurisdiction of the Great Yuan.
When they entered a city, the people on both sides saw it, and they cheered enthusiastically, and they were very happy, comparable to the New Year, and some even wept excitedly.
Kublai Khan saw such a scene in his eyes, and had many questions in his heart, and soon the appearance of the Yuan army made the local city defenders find out, and after a while, they came to kneel with the team.
"Amu under the tree, welcome the Han to come and inspect this place, because the subordinates do not know, they did not go out of the city to greet them, and I hope that the Great Khan will be punished."
Kublai Khan said: "Amu is serious, I didn't come here to say hello, you don't know it, it's understandable, how can I blame you?" Get up. ”
"Thank you, Great Khan." Amu got up.
Kublai Khan's face suddenly became gloomy, and he was very unhappy, something big happened in the country, a very big thing, and even he didn't know what to do now.
Amu brought Kublai Khan to the palace, and the soldiers knelt respectfully.
"Great Khan, you have come thousands of miles away, there must be something important, if the Great Khan has something to say, he might as well say that his subordinates must do it.
Kublai Khan's eyes locked on him, and he opened his mouth coldly, "Amu, I ask you, has there been a large number of people in this city going out of the city recently?" Tens of thousands?"
Amu's heart sank, I don't know what's wrong? Why is this so a question? Why would the Great Khan say such a thing?
"Back to the Great Khan, in fact, the subordinates really don't know about it, and they haven't paid close attention to it, I don't know why the Great Khan said this?"
Kublai Khan snorted, Amu's answer, he was more satisfied, obviously he was not lying, besides, this group of people is not necessarily from the city, and there are many people outside. Dabar opened his mouth and said: "Recently, the people here have completely poured into my Dayuan country, and they have killed innocents indiscriminately, causing more than 100,000 deaths and injuries among the people of Dayuan."
Amu was startled, his body began to tremble, he didn't know about it at all, and he hadn't heard of it at all, so he began to feel embarrassed at this moment, and his heart was very angry.
He knelt down again and said: "Great Khan, my subordinates didn't know that such a thing happened, my subordinates were guilty, my subordinates didn't look down on the people here, and I hope that the big man will blame them." When he thought of the number of 100,000, he was afraid for a while, assuming that it was done by the people here, then he knew that what was waiting for him would definitely be death, and a hundred cuts in his head would not be enough.
