Chapter 971: Turning to Song for help
The reason why Yelujia appeared outside the Qianyu Hall was because the Liao Dynasty was also caught in a huge disaster, not only the Liao Dynasty, but the Jurchens also suffered from the threat of spring disasters, and even the Liao people did not have extra rations, how could the Jurchens get their assistance?
According to the news received by Yeluja, even the Great Liao began to loot the Jurchen villages, slaughtering the Jurchens while taking away their last rations, because the dead did not need to eat......
In Yelujia's view, this was a stupid mistake, the Liao Dynasty had already confronted the Great Song Dynasty, and now it was going to persecute the Jurchens who had already reached a dead end.
Even if they were plundered, they could not resist the threat of the spring disaster, and the Great Song Dynasty could still plant the last crop of grain before the summer arrived, but the Liao Dynasty was located in the north, and there was not much fertile land, and the grazing pasture was frozen to death, the cattle and sheep died of hunger, and people lost the environment they relied on to survive.
Plunder has become a means for the Liao people to resist natural disasters, and the mature Jurchens who have entered the household registration of the Liao Dynasty are the most miserable, they are constantly oppressed by the Khitans, and every time they "fight the Jurchens" in the name of trade is a plunder.
The Khitan took the Bohai Sea, and the Black Water Turtle was attached to the Khitan. He was born in the Khitan in the south, and his name was a mature woman; Those who are in the north, not in the Khitan, are called Jurchen, and there are mixed with the same river, Changbai Mountain, and mixed with the river and Heilongjiang, the so-called 'white mountain and black water'.
Although the Jurchen relied on the complex terrain, took the Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang River as the danger, and confronted the Liao Dynasty in them, at this time, the Liao people used a vicious plan to divide the Jurchens, select people who can fight well from the mature Jurchens, form an army, attack the Jurchens, and seize the land of Baishan and Black Water!
At this time, the young Wanyan Wugunai emerged in front of the Liao, and after he succeeded to the position of the head of the clan, he gradually conquered the five divisions of Baishan, Yecheng, Tongmen, Yela, and Tugulun with force and wisdom, and gradually became stronger, and after the spring disaster, Wanyan Wugunai took refuge in the hostile Liao State.
Yeluja thought that this was a tiger breeding, and that the Jurchens were white-eyed wolves who could not be fed, and that they were each capable of fighting well, even with the crudest of weapons, and that they were capable of fighting with the slightest of weapons, and that in the case of outnumbered inferiority, everyone had the will to fight as if they were going to die.
Compared with death, life is more painful, they would rather fight to the last ounce of strength than fight to the death, for them life is not worth anything at all...... But the more this is the case, the more they can often win, which is why there is a saying that "the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible".
"The envoy of the Liao Dynasty is here!"
"The envoy of the Liao Dynasty is here!"
The shouts of the chamberlain were transmitted outside the Qianyu Palace, and at the same time interrupted Yelujia's thoughts, and whenever he wanted to enter the most glorious palace in the world, Yeluja was always extremely disgusted in his heart.
What's more, this time he is going to ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of the Great Liao, and his posture must be respectful, although he has been accustomed to everything in the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, he is only not used to meeting the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, because he can always feel the coercion from the Great Song Emperor, and this pressure is unprecedented.
But even if he didn't want to go again, Yeluja would have to walk into the Qianyu Palace, but ...... What a big breath! Qianyu is the name of the Heavenly Realm, and the Great Song Dynasty actually calls himself the Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Realm, this arrogance is really ridiculous...... But is it really ridiculous?
Yeluja stepped over the high threshold, and was greeted by a dark red mahogany floor, which was not luxurious in Yeluja's eyes, but more like the color of blood, which made people feel depressed and fearful, and even had a feeling of fleeing the door.
"Da Liao is making Yelujia see Your Majesty!"
Zhao Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "Flatten!" Yelu Zheng, I didn't expect to come again so soon? I have already opened a field on the Song-Liao border, buying and selling, and communicating with each other. ”
Yelujia was angry in his heart, although the Great Song Dynasty opened a market, all the trading companies did not even have a grain of grain! However, on the surface, he still smiled and said: "Qijuan Guan's family, although the Great Song Dynasty opened a field in Jingzhou and Miyun, but the things bought and sold are all treasures and treasures, BMW incense cars, gold and silver lacquerware or celadon silk, and now my Daliao is also suffering from the spring disaster, can I ask Your Majesty to open a grain trade." ”
Zhao Zhen groaned for a while, but he never spoke, and the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't stand still, this request was really a bit excessive, everyone knew that there was a spring disaster now, and the Great Song Dynasty's own grain had to be transported by sea, land, and Cao Yun to the north, how could it be sold to the Liao Dynasty? !
"Liao envoy ridiculous! The food of the people of my Great Song Dynasty is still insufficient, how can I help you Liao Dynasty?! Isn't it that the Liao envoy thinks that your Khitan people are more important than my Song people?! ”
Yelujia shook his head slightly, this is obviously buttoning his hat, but he can't be angry, and he can't grovel, the best way is to fight back quietly, and to fight back with Confucian things, which is also what Yeluja has learned in the Great Song Dynasty for so many years.
He didn't look back to find out who said it, but got up and looked at Zhao Zhen on the throne with burning eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister heard that the Great Song Dynasty is the Han family of the Central Plains, inheriting the orthodoxy of China, and thinking of Confucian benevolence. ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but secretly cheer for Yelujia, these words were as steady as a sharp knife, accurate, ruthless, and directly hit the weight that the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty could not bear, and looked up, for a while, the courtiers in the Qianyu Palace were a little at a loss, and everyone moved out the great benevolence and great love of Confucianism, can you still deny it?
If it is opposed, doesn't it mean that the Great Song Dynasty is not a country of benevolence and righteousness? What should the people of the world think? But if you agree, it will not be easy to do, so it is no less than fighting the fire with a salary, it will only make the fire of the Liao Dynasty burn more and more, and finally burn to the body of the Great Song Dynasty himself.
At this time, Pang Ji came out and said: "The Liao envoy's words are bad, it's not that my Great Song Dynasty doesn't help your Liao Dynasty, but that my Great Song Dynasty is too busy to take care of itself, how can I give you help the Liao Dynasty?" Is it to help you that I want the people of the Great Song Dynasty to go hungry?! ”
Yelujia had already prepared, and said unhurriedly: "The territory of the Great Song Dynasty is vast, Yunnan Road, Guangnan East and West Second Road, and Fujian Road have not been affected, and the Great Song Dynasty still has the land of the South China Sea to grow grain, and the foreign minister also heard that Mayi, Nibo, and other places are full of rice, and the grain is abundant, and the supply and demand of the Great Song Dynasty are more than enough. ”
What else did Pang Ji say, Zhao Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "Look, the envoys of the Liao Dynasty know no worse than you about the Great Song Dynasty, and even more than you. ”
Zhao Zhen's words made the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty full of "hostility" towards Yelujia, and with a slight smile, Zhao Zhen continued to speak: "But you don't know the cost of transporting these grains in my Great Song Dynasty. Do you know why no merchant is willing to sell grain to you? Because it doesn't make money! ”
