Chapter 592: Serving the Song People as a Knife
Or to put it more bluntly, Zhao Gou just wanted people like Xing Wenge to mention the court to solve the trouble this time, just to catch them.
Xing Huan didn't dare to question it at all.
Not only did he not dare to have it, but he had to do his best to solve problems for the imperial court.
The reason for this is unknown.
There have never been a few fools who love money but not life in history, such as those nobles in the late Ming Dynasty, such as the cheap man of Emperor Chongzhen. But Xing Huan is obviously not like this!
After Xing Wenge and the other children of the Xing family heard about it, they immediately expressed their attitudes, and everyone was eager to 'destroy the family and relieve the difficulties'!
They understand the truth that "if you want to take it, you must give it first".
After all, the Xing family is an emerging force that has risen from the micro end, and everyone here has suffered all at the beginning.
Thinking that Xing Huan is just a minor official, let alone the other children of the Xing family. All of them are ordinary people. If it weren't for the Xing family's blessing being big enough, they would still be hard pressed now!
Therefore, Xing Wenge and the others are very clear about how they came to be today and why they came here.
But this is easier said than done.
If you want to 'destroy your family and relieve difficulties' to make a good appearance, then you really have to destroy your family and relieve difficulties. This is no less than a bloodletting and cutting of flesh for every normal businessman.
For example, Xing Wenge, after leaving the Guogong Mansion, returned to his house as soon as possible. Summoned his stewards and account offices, and took stock of the capital in his hands!
The cash money was taken out and counted, and then the farmland, manor and store were all counted. Finally, it's the business field!
The steward, the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper didn't know what was going on, but Xing Wenge's wishes could not be violated.
In addition to the cash and land that have been counted, Xing Wenge also has a large amount of money on investment.
"Father, why is this so?" Xing Deqing said in shock.
That's all it was for the previous ones, Xing Wenge still had to put his mind on the previous investment, and their family really wanted to destroy the family and relieve the difficulties.
His son's exclamation did not reach Xing Wenge's heart at all, and his current focus was to raise money as much as possible!
This is naturally for the Xing family, but why isn't it for himself?
His son is still too shallow, is he worried about money now, and he should be happy now. I am glad that their family still has the capital to work for the Xing family.
This is what Xing Wenge values the most.
Just like Xiao Lira, who entered Beijing on behalf of the Western Liao, thought in his heart, the Song people provided them with clansmen, materials and ordnance, and the purpose was not to ask them to fight to the west, nor to ask them to share the pressure from the outside world.
Not only did Xiao Weili know that this would require a lot of 'own family' lives to fill the hole, but Yelu Dashi and Richard knew better what the consequences would be.
Western Liao, of course, is the lackey of the Song people, that is, the enemy of the Heavenly World and the Nestorian World.
The lonely Western Liao will inevitably become the target of revenge from the latter two.
It is likely that for many years to come, Western Liao will not be able to truly recuperate, and will only usher in endless battles.
But so what?
With the support of the Song people, Western Liao can truly gain a firm foothold in the Kipchak steppe, and can more easily unify the people and tribes that have been conquered.
The commercial and trade agreement signed between the two can also greatly promote the growth of the internal economic strength of the Western Liao, and to a certain extent, improve the quality of life of the people of all ethnic groups under the Western Liao system, thus greatly consolidating the foundation of the Western Liao as a country.
That huge temptation is not something that Yelu Dashi and Richard can refuse at all.
Even if everyone knew that it would take the lives of the soldiers to win it!
Xiliao was very happy about this, and even knew the careful thinking of the Song people.
The latter is nothing more than attaching the most importance to two points, one is that Xiliao needs to share the pressure and firepower for them; Second, it is necessary for Xiliao to spread the culture and civilization of the Han people for them, to be their whip and knife, to hunt the western land for them, and to make a brighter name in the western land.
At first glance, Xiliao has taken on a lot, but it doesn't seem to be much, and the whole transaction is in an extremely passive environment. But they don't care, they really don't care.
At the same time, Yelu Dashi really has no choice!
Whether it is for the existence of the Khitan and the party, or for the existence of the Western Liao - to escape the butcher's knife of the Song people, the Western Liao can only do so.
What's more, there are more people who want to be Song knives these days!
The strength of the Song people has brought too much pressure and attraction to the outside.
Among other things, the Kpchaks who had already been conquered by them.
The latter has been divided into more than a dozen ethnic groups such as Kipchak, Kimak, Turkic, Khangle, and Naiman.
Isn't this so for the sake of slaughtering Kopchak and breaking up the cohesion of the old forces?
But if the Song people also entered the Kipchak steppe, with their support, the Kupchak people would reappear on the Kipchak steppe in a blink of an eye, right?
It's a threat that couldn't be more than a red fruit.
If the Song people's western expeditionary army does not retract their minions for a day, especially their commander Yue Fei, who is not transferred back to the Central Plains by Emperor Zhao for a day, it is equivalent to hanging a sharp guillotine over the heads of all the forces and nations in Central Asia.
After two years of fighting, Yue Fei, who led the Song army to victory after repeated battles, can really make a child cry at night in the heavenly world.
A very clear manifestation of the use of visible war to spread one's influence is the title of Emperor Zhao. No one uses peach blossom stone to describe the Central Plains, and peach blossom stone to describe Han people and China.
The name of the Great Song Dynasty has entered everyone's hearts, and many people can say the word 'Great Song' in Chinese, and the natives with a little status know what the "Great Song" and "Zhao Guanjia" represent.
Some of the traditions of the Han family were also introduced to the Hanzhong region, and the indigenous people's perception of China was no longer just silk and porcelain, or peach blossom stone.
Most of the concepts and perceptions formed in the past few hundred years have been refreshed in a short period of time.
Since Li Tang abandoned the Western Regions, the various ethnic groups in the river once again had a clear understanding of the Central Plains and the Han people.
This kind of sensory change is far from being comparable to the simple spread of civilization, and without the backing of hard power of swords and guns, some of the rules of the Han family will never be recognized by the natives in the river.
Of course, because Zhao and Song had been angry a lot for more than a hundred years before, the latter had not yet formed a sense of self-respect, and did not blindly treat the natives in the river as uncivilized barbarians! They can also be recognized as human beings.
This kind of psychological 'tolerance' has also invisibly alleviated some contradictions.
What Xiao Weili is looking forward to most now is that the Song people can fulfill their promises "sincerely and honestly", and give them a mouthful of Xiliao. Don't fool them with loans!
