The main products exported by the Western Xia were salt, horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock products, woolen fabrics, Chinese medicinal materials, etc., while the main commodities exported by the Northern Song Dynasty were silk, cloth, porcelain, lacquerware, etc.

Generally speaking, the Western Xia provided strategic materials to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty provided the Western Xia with the so-called "things that are not urgent".

I have to say that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty are very chicken thieves!

Although the Great Song Dynasty is very profitable, Xixia does not suffer a loss, after all, people can't just eat salt and skip meals, it's easy to have fatty liver!

This also made the Western Xia regime enter a prosperous period, and a certain period of peace was formed between the Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty, and the friendly exchanges and economic trade with the Northern Song Dynasty promoted the economic development of the party members, and for a while, the Xiping regime appeared a thriving situation.

History said: Under the wall, for more than 30 years, there was no war, and the grass and clouds were combined. Armor and dust committee, health and burial, each year round; Self-communication is good, there is no suspicion, the store is not ridiculed, and the vendors are weaving.

It's just that as Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao gradually grew up, he repeatedly persuaded his father to no longer submit to the Song Dynasty.

First of all, he hoped that Li Deming would share the benefits from the Song and Xia trade with all the party tribes:

"Our ministry has a lot of implementation, and the money is insufficient. If you lose the crowd, how can you keep the state? It is better to use the income to recruit the Tibetan people and practice the bow and arrow. The small ones are conquest by the four elements, and the large ones are encroaching on the feudal territory, and the upper and lower levels are abundant, and they are calculated as gains. ”

Li Deming replied: "I have been tired of using soldiers for a long time, and my clan has been dressed in brocade for 30 years, and this Song En is also unbearable!" ”

Li Yuanhao didn't give his father any face:

"Clothes and fur, animal husbandry, the convenience of the nature, the life of a hero, when the king is the king, what is Jinqi?"

To sum it up simply, Li Yuanhao, a second-year teenager, has grown up, and the rain has stopped when the weather is clear, and he thinks he can do it again!

I want to challenge the Northern Song Dynasty, the central court that was suppressed by the Liao people and couldn't raise its head!

However, the reality is real and makes Li Yuanhao want to cry!

Although the strength of the Song Dynasty is indeed not very much, but people have money, and they can kill him with money!

In 1031 AD, Li Deming died, Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne, he relied on the Khitan outside, and the internal Shen order, with the art of war department to control the party and the department, after a little time of preparation, from 1034 AD began to attack the Fuzhou of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In December 1038, Li Yuanhao was proclaimed emperor, and in the following year, he submitted a petition to the central government of the Northern Song Dynasty for recognition.

Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty could not have allowed a third "Son of Heaven" (the Emperor of Liao was also the Son of Heaven), so he reacted quickly.

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty pondered, although Lao Tzu couldn't get the Liao Kingdom, but why couldn't he get your little Western Xia?!

Be resolute and untimid!

Therefore, he ordered to cut off Li Yuanhao's official title, close the Song-Xia border trade market, and at the same time unveil the list of articles at the border pass, and offer a reward for those who can capture Yuanhao, that is, to make the official position of the military envoy of the difficult military festival.

In this way, Li Yuanhao naturally had a truth, and in the following years, Western Xia launched three large-scale attacks on the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty was militarily inferior, the economic sanctions against the Western Xia also began, and the Western Xia was instantly in a difficult situation, and the foreign atmosphere can be said to have had an economic crisis.

Li Yuanhao found that he couldn't get a bargain from the Song Dynasty, and if the Song Dynasty continued to blockade, the Western Xia country would really collapse.

After Li Yuanhao understood what it was, your father was still your father, he decisively asked the Song Dynasty for a truce, and he went to the emperor to still be the lord of the Xia Kingdom.

In the fourth year of the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1044 AD), the Northern Song Dynasty made peace with the Western Xia again, and the Northern Song Dynasty recognized the status of the Western Xia as a separatist party, and the Western Xia declared itself a vassal to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Every year, in the name of "reward", the Northern Song Dynasty gave 153,000 horses of silk, 72,000 taels of silver, and 30,000 catties of tea.

In short, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty exchanged small money for peace, and Li Yuanhao exchanged face for linzi.

Li Yuanhao also asked for the ban on green and white salt to be lifted, and the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers calculated an account, according to half of the price of the salt, the Northern Song Dynasty side of green salt needed to pay more than 200,000 yuan, which was a huge amount of money.

Moreover, in this way, because the green salt is of high quality and low price, the salt produced in the Song Dynasty itself will be smashed in the hands.

In addition, if Li Yuanhao's condition was agreed, the "actual age coin" given by the Northern Song Dynasty to Western Xia reached more than 400,000, which was close to the amount agreed to be given to Liao by the Lanyuan Alliance.

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were very worried that it would cause the Liao State to ask for an increase in the annual coins - after all, it was 400,000 yuan for Li Yuanhao, a little deflated calf, and we Khitans couldn't afford to lose this person with these.

After discussion among the ministers, the Northern Song Dynasty only agreed to reopen the Gaoping Zhaichang between the security army and the Zhenrong army, and resume normal trade between the Song and Xia dynasties, but resolutely continued to strictly prohibit the entry of Qingbai salt.

From the perspective of the underlying reasons, after the peace of the Song and Xia Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty still had to station about 200,000 troops in the northwest (reduced by half), and the pressure on military spending was still very great.

At the same time, the huge supply of food and wages depended on Shaanxi, which had withered people's livelihood due to the war, and the Northern Song Dynasty could only raise funds through the salt monopoly - Bao Zheng, the deputy envoy of the household department, yes, it was the bag of Heizi.

Bao Zheng once said: I saw that the world has a lot of money, and in recent years, there is a lack of money, why not? Since the beginning of the West, the three roads and the three divisions have been given grain and grass year by year, and the goods have been supported to see money, silver silk, and fragrant tea, about tens of millions of yuan.

If you don't plan it quickly, you are afraid that the sun will cut the moon, and the harm will not be shallow.

The minister is said to cause the embarrassment of the imperial court, and the three ways make it so. But if the three roads are used separately, why is it not true?

Just as Shaanxi has its own benefits of salt, if it is paid to the fullest, so that the grain and grass can be purchased, after one or two years, the goods can be completely reduced by five or seven million yuan per year.

These also laid the groundwork for the Divine Sect's Five Roads Expedition!

……

Forehead...... Far from it!

All in all, Chen Yan suddenly remembered that there is salt in Western Xia, and what is salt?

That's money!

If Wu Linglong knew that she just wanted to rob the New Year's coin, and Chen Yan had already thought of robbing Xixia's life/root (salt field), I don't know how he would feel.

"How about it, do you want to do this big vote?"

Wu Linglong looked at Chen Yan and said.

"Okay, done!"

Chen Yan agreed very decisively, but his eyes were looking at Wu Linglong directly.

Wu Linglong noticed Chen Yan's gaze and threw a wink at Chen Yan.

"What, does the Metropolitan want someone to accompany you tonight? For the sake of the Metropolitan Governor being so good-looking, it's okay~"

Chen Yan: "......"

"Hehe......"

Chen Yan laughed dryly twice and asked.

"Aren't you afraid that I will be exterminated by the imperial court before I make a move on the New Year's coin?"

Chen Yan leaned back in the chair and rubbed his eyebrows.

"The imperial court will recruit the governor of Anda."

Wu Linglong suddenly said with great certainty.

"How do you know?"

Chen Yan sat up, looked at Wu Linglong with a slight frown.

"The imperial court is going to make a move against the north, but there is no army to recruit and suppress the governor of the capital."

Wu Linglong said.

Chen Yan's face was full of doubts.

"The imperial court shouldn't even be able to transfer a few thousand people, right?"

Chen Yan's heart was full of doubts, and he thought that he would have to survive several encirclements and suppressions before he could get a respite from the imperial court's death in the north.

"Thousands of people can be transferred, but how can a few thousand people be able to suppress the Metropolitan Governor, isn't there a cavalry of more than 1,000 people under the Metropolitan Governor?"

Wu Linglong said with a pair of big eyes.

Chen Yan: ???

Chen Yan's face was full of confusion.

, there are not a thousand people under Lao Tzu's hands, where are the more than 1,000 cavalry?

If Chen Yan had a thousand cavalry under his hand, he would have swelled up a long time ago!

Looking at Chen Yan's bewildered expression, Wu Linglong said tentatively.

"There's always seven hundred horses, right?"

Chen Yan shook his head again.

But he didn't say that he only had a few dozen rides, but showed an unfathomable expression on his face.

"Haha...... Shopkeeper Wu, I really don't have a thousand riders under my hands, but there are still five or six hundred riders. ”

"Shopkeeper Wu, I don't know where you heard that I have a thousand horsemen under my command?"

Chen Yan looked at Wu Linglong and asked.

"This is news from Qinzhou."

Wu Linglong said.

Chen Yan sent Wu Linglong away, fell into deep thought, and suddenly he remembered that he was alone.

Li Feng's lieutenant Ding Wei!

That battle had just begun, and he fled from the cowards of the battlefield!

Chen Yan suddenly understood that by exaggerating the enemy to shirk his own faults, isn't this what those generals are good at?!

This Ding Wei is really his own lucky star!

The ambush battle was really because he was the first to flee, which led to the chaos of the Song army, and the Dang army could easily achieve a big victory!

This time, too, if it weren't for him exaggerating his strength, Chen Yan would really be worried about how he would survive the next encirclement and suppression of the imperial court!

This is good, Ding Wei sent a divine assist!

……

In the third year of Xuanhe, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, a big man came to Qinzhou City!

Qin Fenglu, who was sent by the imperial court, passed through the Taoist Sect, led a group of military generals to Qinfeng Road, Qinzhou!

Seed Master Dao, that is, the famous old seed in the Water Margin, he came to Qinzhou this time to mobilize the elite soldiers of Qin Fenglu, and led the army north in the following year.

Returned to Tong Guan's conversion, and went north to conquer Liao!

However, as soon as he entered Qinzhou City, he learned the news that there was a traitor in Anping, and the most incredible thing for him was that it was said that the traitor had thousands of mercenaries, including more than a thousand elite cavalry.

The army of the imperial court has been brutally whitened twice!

The Seed Master Dao was extremely shocked, this traitor had become the climate, and if he wanted to exterminate him, he couldn't do it without an army of tens of thousands.

And now the focus of the imperial court is completely on the north, planning to conquer the sixteen states of Yanyun on the northern expedition next year!

Where can tens of thousands of troops be dispatched to conquer the thieves!

……

Ding Kangyan, a fierce general under the account of the Seed Master, is the pro-guard officer of the Seed Master Dao, an absolute henchman, and he is also a big man in the acre of three points of land on Qinfeng Road.

"Brother, you must save me, brother!"

"I don't want to die, you must not let the commander lead the troops to recruit that traitor, otherwise I will die."

"Brother, you must save me, when my father and mother leave, I told you to take care of me...... Woooooooo ”

Ding Wei knelt at Ding Kangyan's feet and cried profusely.

However, Ding Kangyan's face was indeed gloomy, as if it could drip water.

"Fuck off, I don't have your brother."

Ding Kangyan kicked Ding Wei out with a single kick, listening to Ding Wei's crying, his brows twisted into a Sichuan character.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Ding Wei raised his hand and deleted it on his face, and slapped it several times in a row, and several red slap marks appeared on Ding Wei's face.

"Brother, I'm not a thing, I shouldn't have escaped from the battle, I shouldn't have lied about the military situation, but you have to save me."

"Daddy is gone, I'm just a relative like you, I don't want to die......"

Ding Wei cried more and more pitifully.

He never expected that the master of the Seed Master Dao would come to Qinzhou City in person, and after learning the news that the Seed Master Dao was coming, he realized that his lie might be exposed.

As soon as the cultivator led his troops to encircle and suppress the traitor, he found that the strength of the traitor was not what he said at all, and he Ding Wei was not dead.

So he hurriedly went to find his brother, the personal guard officer of the master and the handsome, and wanted him to save himself.

Ding Kangyan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, gloomy as if he could drip water, he never imagined that his younger brother would do such a bastard thing!

fled from the battle, lied about the enemy, and betrayed his comrades......

I almost didn't him off!

"Leave this matter to me, I'll figure it out, but after this matter is over, you can go back to my hometown for me."

Ding Kangyan said with a cold face.

"Thank you...... Thank you, brother! ”

Ding Wei said busily.

Ding Kangyan left Ding Wei and returned to the place where the Seed Master Dao was staying.

The planter temporarily lived in the house of a wealthy family in Qinzhou City, and within a radius of several hundred meters, there were guards with strict military appearance and complete armor.

Ding Kangyan walked into the house and went straight to the rest place of the Seed Master Dao, but when he arrived, he found that there were already several people in the room of the Seed Master Dao.

Yin Liu Wenhan, the governor of Qinzhou, Wang Daoren stayed in Qinzhou, and the Qinzhou transfer envoy Lu Guangtong was raised, and Zhu He was sentenced to prison.

"Please also ask the commander to send troops to fight the thief, and return the peace of the people of Qinzhou!"

Liu Wenhan said to the seed master, and tears seemed to come out of his eyes as if they were about to burst out.

He is very respectful to the Seed Master Dao, not because of the military power in the hands of the Seed Master Dao, but because of the Seed Clan's generals!

The family was originally from Shanxi, and later settled in Luoyang.

The first generation of the founder of the family is a kind of Shiheng, he was promoted by Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and became a famous general in the Song-Xia War, which opened the heroic deeds of the three generations of the breeder to resist the summer. Therefore, they are known as the "Shanxi Famous Generals" family.

The Chong clan has been making a fortune for many years, and he has long begun to transform into a civil official, and the hidden forces behind him are not comparable to his small Qinzhou Mansion Yin.

"Yes, Chongshuai, the traitors have killed the township, I don't know how many good people have been killed, we must exterminate the traitors and avenge them."

Wang Daoren also echoed the Dao, he was the cousin of the old man's family in Anping City, in other words, the amount of money that Chen Yan got was his.

How could he not hate Chen Yan!

Lu Guangtong was also full of anger and echoed.

"Yes, Dashuai, you must be the master of our Qinzhou fathers!"
