The current capital of the Jin people is still in Huining Mansion in the north, that is, the Acheng District of the Ice City of Hei Province in the later generations, which is really far away from Youyan, and in terms of the current state of the Jurchens, it is very remote.

This place is also extremely bitter cold, the end of the Northern Song Dynasty also belongs to the Xiaoice River era, Lingnan drifting snow, Dongting Lake frozen, even if it is not much inferior to the end of the Ming Dynasty. Now in August, Jiangnan is still fragrant with osmanthus flowers, and Huining City is already cold and biting, and snowflakes are flying.

But no matter how remote and bitter cold the place is, more than half a year is enough for them to make a round trip to Bianliang.

Wu Qimai's face on the big seat was ugly, and the important ministers of the Jin State were also gloomy. There is no other reason, that Zhao Huan of Bianliang is not on the set at all. It was decided that Zhao Gou would attack the Jin people first for a certain righteousness, so he let the people of Salumu, Gao Qingyi and others, who secretly sent envoys to Bianliang, wear out their mouths, and Zhao Huan, who could not persuade them, nodded and attacked Zhao Gou with the Jurchens from the north and south!

"Without the help of the Zhao family, the only thing available is the party item, but Li Qianshun is a slippery one, if he doesn't hand over the former northwest land promised to him, it may be difficult to move this person." Wu Qimai said in a deep voice.

Four years ago (1123), the Jin people sent envoys to Xia and proposed to Li Qianshun: If Emperor Tianzuo fled into the Xia realm, he should be captured and sent to Jin; If Xia can do the gift of Liao, Jin is allowed to cede the land in the northwest of Liao to Xia. Li Qianshun saw that the destruction of the Khitan had become a foregone conclusion, and in order to preserve the secession status of the Xia State, he agreed to Jin's conditions.

In March of the following year, Li Qianshun swore an oath to the Jin Dynasty, expressing his attachment to Jin. and then cleanly killed his wife (Yelu Nanxian) and children (Prince Li Renai). Subsequently, the party soldiers and horses entered the northwest of Liao, and occupied Tiande, Yunnei, Wuzhou and other state capitals. But the good times didn't last long, and soon Jin Wushu sent troops to forcibly occupy Tiande, Yunnei and other states, and Li Qianshun was angry with Jin and didn't believe it.

Bilateral exchanges have come to a standstill.

Now Jin Ren wants to move Li Qianshun and spit out the Tiande, Yunnei and others who have eaten in his mouth, which is inevitable.

"A few state towns are not enough to worry about. As long as you can say that the summer lord can be determined, when you fight in the future, you will be able to have a lot of strength left. "You can't do without oral support.

Sticky Han also means the same thing, "Lord Xia is slippery, but he is also a smart person." When you know that Xia Jin has become a friendship between lips and teeth today, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and they are related. "If the Jin Kingdom is not good, can the Western Xia be good?

After such a decision was made, only Wu Qimai and Wan Yan Xianye were left in the main hall, and their faces were always embarrassed.

"Nanban holds the earth-shaking thunder in his hand, and his non-flesh and blood body can resist it. No matter how good my Dajin warriors are, they can only be annihilated by ashes under the flames. Now it is imperative to get the formula of the powder. ”

Wu Qimai was the prime minister of Jurchen government affairs when he started from Agu, although he had few military achievements, but as the big steward of the rear, he could make Agu fight without worries when he was fighting in the army, which was Xiao He's general merit. The Jurchen bureaucracy, etiquette, and taxes all came from the hands of people.

Historically, Wu Qimai forbade the private servitude of the people and the purchase of the poor as slaves. The imperial examination system was implemented, and Han Chinese were hired as officials. The establishment of various rules and regulations and the rule of the Ming Dynasty can be said to have laid a model for the establishment of the Jin people.

This is by no means an ignorant and rude person.

At a glance, I saw the crux of the problem at hand - the formula of the powder.

The catapult is not a rare thing, the counterweight catapult in the hands of King Yan, the Jin people have already successfully imitated it by relying on Yan Yun's craftsmen. The earth-shattering thunder is in hand, and it is very easy to figure out what is going on, but the difficulty lies in the formula of the medicinal powder.

The Liao people also have medicinal powder, and after the Jurchens destroyed the Liao, everything that the Liao people owned fell into the hands of the Jurchens, and they didn't know what the black medicinal powder was.

But there is a world of difference between this powder and the powder.

Zhao Gou protects the information of the secondary purification of raw materials without leakage. The Bianliang and Jurchens outside, and even the Xixia people only focused on the ratio of raw materials, and ignored the purity of raw materials, so the so-called formula was really leaked, and the losses caused were negligible.

Therefore, the sword of Damocles hanging above his head is like Zhao Gou's talisman in a short time.

Whether it is Jurchen, Bianliang, or even the party, Zhao Gou's three-sided enemies, as long as they don't get the earth-shattering thunder that satisfies them for a day, these people will not be able to compete with the Yan Wangjun head-on.

As for finding a way to wipe out the advantage of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, it is even more impossible.

Stone Cannon + Sky Thunder, the effect is equivalent to the reduced range of the amplified version of the artillery, or the cannon with the projectile turned on. Historically, after the invention of artillery, how did people deal with it? Can they resist the power of the artillery?

Besides, don't forget that the earth-shaking thunder used by Zhao Gou weighed ten catties, and if necessary, the ten-pound earth-shaking thunder would become fifty or sixty pound-heavy sky-shaking thunder, and it would only be a matter of one sentence to him. But the difference in power between the two is worlds apart.

In this era, holding the earth-shaking thunder in his hand is Zhao Gou, which is equal to invincible!

It is equivalent to mastering the force that transcends the times!

And when two forces go to war, and the soldiers of one side cannot compete with the other side on the frontal battlefield, then what will be the direction of the war? Just look at the eight-year War of Resistance in history!

Therefore, Wu Qimai really had a headache for Zhao Gou.

If the problem of frontal fighting is not solved, what can the Jurchen elite cavalry do if they attack several cities in Zhao Gou? Even after the Southern Barbarians had the earth-shattering thunder, it became a luxury for the Jin soldiers to even attack the city.

All they could do was to make a mess of the vast rural market towns that were poorly guarded, and add countless refugees to Zhao Gou.

This is a very toothache for Zhao Gou, but he is begging to buy it in Wu. In the eyes of Wanyan and Yan Yan, and even sticky and detached, it is a cowardly approach to the extreme.

This approach is not in line with their Dajin country style from the inside out.

They who destroyed the powerful Khitan in ten years, believe in a crushing collision from the bones. In the face-to-face battle, defeat the enemies one by one without any suspense.

It is a counterattack like this, and it is really too contrary to the Jurchen high-level officials.

However, if the power is not as good as others, there is nothing to be done.

That's why they can unanimously agree to pull Li Qianshun into their camp by ceding their interests.

From the moment they withdrew from the Central Plains last year, they had spent several months in order to get the formula of the Heaven-shaking Thunder Powder. As winter hits, or as time passes, the Jurchen high-level leaders have to give up.

"Helpless, helpless."

Wan Yan Xian also said a little dejectedly. In the past few months, they have thought of all methods, and I believe that Zhao Huan will use more methods, but things are so desperate.

With Ah Guta, he who has developed the Wanyan Department from one of the many Jurchen tribes to the current point, is naturally not a person who will be easily discouraged, but Zhao Gou keeps the secret too carefully, and the Jurchen elite and really can't stop the earth-shattering thunder, so he can only be helpless.

watched Zhao Gou consolidate his foundation little by little, and control Hebei Hedong in his hands little by little. Little by little, I watched the war approach and the threat grew stronger......

This taste is really uncomfortable, but he is also helpless.

……

There is no mercy in wars between nations. Any bit of advantage will be turned into a benefit by doing everything possible.

Not to mention the time when two countries are strong and weak.

Look at how miserable China was at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China in history, as well as the Song-Jin War in the early part of history, when the emperor was taken captive, hundreds of officials were humiliated, and the princesses and princesses were crushed into mud, all of which were the same miserable.

However, once the situation repeated, when Zhao Gou held the big killing weapon in his hand and frustrated the Jin people several times, when the Jin people found that they couldn't think of a way to crack the face of the earth-shaking thunder after racking their brains, the Jin people's soldiers immediately shrank up.

If Zhao Gou was willing to sign a contract with the Jurchens at this time, and turned around to attack Bianliang, I was afraid that the Jurchens would send troops to help for free, and Wu Qimai and the others would not be able to ask for it.

It's a pity that Zhao Gou is a bent on destroying the Jurchens first.
