|||->-> Chapter 690 Ali Buge's attitude

The fact that the tribal leader under his rule borrowed money and materials from Shi Bin naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Emperor Ali Buge, but Ali Buge was helpless. Ali Buge, the emperor, was supported by those tribal leaders, and he was not easy to interfere with in public or private, and under the current situation, he could only let it develop, as long as it did not affect his imperial power.

Time flies, and it is the third year of Xianchun (1267), Shi Bin is very happy, firstly, because the relationship between the Song and Yuan dynasties is better, and there is almost no conflict. The second is that the Great Song Dynasty did not lose money in trade, but made a lot of money, because of the low price and good quality, which increased the number of transactions. Shi Bin himself also made a lot of money. The third is that the Great Song Dynasty itself is more stable because of its political clarity and abundant treasury.

As a newly enthroned emperor, Ali Buge also received a lot of praise. Although he borrowed a lot of money and materials from the Great Song Dynasty, he really rebuilt the devastated Dayuan, and did not let the Dayuan collapse from then on. This also makes Ali Buge's prestige higher and his status firmer.

Before and after, Ali Buge and the leaders of various tribes borrowed 400,000 taels of silver and materials worth 600,000 taels of silver from the Great Song Dynasty.

Although it is not much to distribute to the various leaders, it adds up to a lot. So this also made everyone feel a lot of pressure, afraid that Shi Bin would suddenly make something they couldn't agree to.

Of course, he couldn't make Ali Buge and the leaders of the tribes feel uneasy, so Shi Bin still thought that he and Ali Buge were brothers, and it was natural for brothers to help brothers; Song and Yuan needed to maintain good relations as a reason to reassure them.

With Shi Bin's help in this way, the tribal leader naturally and slowly became humble in front of Shi Bin. Even if Ali Buge is the emperor of the Yuan people, but he is short-handed, he does not have the dignity of the emperor in front of Shi Bin without exception.

This situation is Shi Bin's dream, so no matter who or what he encounters during this time, he is always smiling.

On this day, just after lunch, Shi Bin felt that he had nothing to do. So he said, "Two ladies, if you say that if I want to redeem the land, where should I redeem it first?" ”

"During the Tang Dynasty, there was Hebei Province, and now that we have recaptured most of Hebei Province, we should hold the entire Hebei Province in our hands, that is, to redeem Liaoning." Jia Ling said, "If Liaoning is in our hands, North China will not have only one Great Wall to resist invasion." At that time, even if we turn against the Yuanren, we will have enough time to deploy troops to fight them, and we will not be caught off guard. ”

"It makes sense, the land in North China is fertile and the output is abundant, and the Yuan people will definitely salivate. At the same time, it is a plain, which is most suitable for cavalry combat. If Liaoning is not in control, it is indeed difficult to resist the fierce cavalry with just one Great Wall. And once it comes in, it will be the people of the Great Song Dynasty who will suffer. Shi Bin nodded in agreement.

"When is the right time to redeem?" Shi Bin asked again.

This time Jia Ling didn't speak, and Sai Xishi said, "It's a while longer." Husband, I observe that the Yuan people are now at the most critical time to recover their strength, and we should talk about redemption after this time. Otherwise, it is easy to be regarded as taking advantage of the fire, and when the time comes, they will not only not be grateful, but will hate us. ”

Shi Bin really never thought about this question. Money is given for supplies, and it seems natural for the lender to make conditions to the borrower. But after being reminded by Sai Xishi, Shi Bin immediately realized the importance of this issue. It would be foolish not to make enemies with money and effort.

"Okay, let's do it

When is the right time to redeem? ”

"It is now the third year of Xianchun (1267), and it is best to talk about redemption at the end of the fourth year of Xianchun (1268)." Jia Ling said with a smile, "When the time comes, their national conditions will be stable, and they will have some money in their pockets, but their strength is not very strong and they can't rule such a large area, so it's good to talk about redemption at this time." ”

As soon as Jia Ling finished speaking, Sai Xishi immediately agreed. Although it felt like a long time, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi's words were very reasonable, and Shi Bin had to be patient and agreed to wait for more than a year.

Feeling that there was still a long time, Shi Bin simply shifted his attention to consolidating power and developing his territory. Suppress the die-hards who oppose them and promote capable supporters. The best policy for your own territory, and the other regions are just ordinary policies, just to ensure that there is stability.

These things seem simple, but there are countless problems to deal with, if it weren't for the fact that there were still some talents under him, I am afraid that Shi Bin would be tired. This naturally made time fly by, and it seemed that it was the end of the fourth year of Xianchun (1267) in the blink of an eye. And Shi Bin also sent an envoy to Ali Buge to send a letter of redemption to Liaoning.

Ali Buge, who received the letter, was furious, and tore the letter to shreds in front of the messenger, and said that if it weren't for Shi Bin being his brother, he would definitely kill the messenger. Fortunately, the envoy was a clever man, and he did not say that Ali Buge was rude because of this, but kept saying good things about Ali Buge and persuaded him to calm his anger.

After calming down his anger, although Brother Ali Buge, who calmed down, was still very unhappy, he was not so resistant to Shi Bin's proposal to 'redeem Liaoning'. Because Ali Buge was originally a Mongol rather than a Khitan, his feelings for Liaoning were not deep. Now that its strength is not enough, it is impossible to effectively manage Liaoning, so the conditions proposed by Shi Bin are indeed negotiable.

But Ali Buge is the Great Yuan Emperor after all, and it is definitely not possible to change the order every day. So even if he figured it out, he didn't intend to tell the messenger about his change of attitude at once, but left it there and ignored it.

He was left in this way for half a month, and the messenger asked to see him twenty-nine times, and it was not until the thirtieth time that he saw Ali Buge again.

As soon as they met, Brother Ali was still very 'angry', and people who were a little stupid would think that it was useless to redeem Liaoning. However, the messenger was very smart, and he saw the flaw in Ali Buge's 'continuous anger', and knew that Ali Buge was just acting, so he put his mind at ease and let Ali Buge be 'angry', and he couldn't stop 'comforting'.

After the two of them acted for a while, the messenger began to praise Ali Buge, saying that Ali Buge was very comfortable. And Brother Ali Buge also took the opportunity to relax, saying that he could discuss the redemption of Liaoning, but he had to talk to Shi Bin in Fengtian.

Although Shi Bin, who got the news, knew that this negotiation would definitely not be easy, he was still very happy, because as long as Liaoning was taken back, North China would be really much safer.

"Xu Feng, what kind of trouble do you say there will be in this Fengtian negotiation?"

"My lord, I think it's not a small trouble, and the main trouble is Brother Ali."

"Tell me about it."

"Yes, sir. Ali Buge has only been on the throne for four years, and although he has rebuilt the Great Yuan, his position is not very solid, and he does not dare to do anything to shake his rule easily. If you let you redeem Liaoning, he will be said by his political enemies to be a scumbag of Dayuan. Xu Feng said.

"You mean he wants me to go just to deny me?" Shi Bin said with a frown.

"Of course not, Brother Ali is not that boring. The humble position means that if Ali Buge does not have the support of the majority of the tribal leaders, he will never let the lord redeem Liaoning. If he wants the adults to redeem Liaoning, he must tie most of the people to him

Rope on. ”

"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely do it." Shi Bin nodded and said.

"And how are we doing to win over the tribal leaders? How many of them borrowed our money and supplies? How many people do you think they will support us to redeem Liaoning? ”

"My lord, most of the tribes have borrowed it, it's just a little different. The lowly position believed that the tribes in the northwest would support it, because Liaoning had nothing to do with them in whose hands. Some of the troubles are the tribal leaders near Liaoning and the tribal leaders who disobey Ali Buge. Their strength is not small, and Ali Buge can't help but consider their attitude. Xu Feng said very seriously.

"Can't help but take into account their attitude? Okay, got it. Shi Bin said.

After understanding this, Shi Bin was half happy and half worried, the matter was half the success, but if the other half could not be solved, everything would be empty talk.

"Ali Buge's opponent... How to deal with Ali Buge's opponents? Shi Bin muttered silently while pacing.

"Is it difficult to deal with Ali Buge's opponent?" A man's voice came to his ears. turned his head and saw that it was Jia Ling.

"Isn't it difficult to deal with his opponents?" Shi Bin said puzzledly, "Since you can become the opponent of Emperor Dayuan, will your strength be weak?" The strength is strong, will it be easy to deal with? You're right, Shih Tzu? ”

"I don't know why my sister said it wasn't difficult, but I believed what she said, and I didn't think it would be difficult." Sai Si Shi laughed.

The two resourceful wives said that it was not difficult, Shi Bin felt that he must have entered a dead end, and if he thought about it from another angle, he would probably think of a good way. Since the two female Zhuge were there, Shi Bin naturally didn't bother to think about it, and said a few kind words and handed over the question to Jia Ling and Sai Xishi.

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi didn't wonder that Shi Bin did this, anyway, they also liked to be staff officers, so they immediately thought about it. It didn't take long for Jia Ling to smile and say, "Since Dayuan is not monolithic, aren't those tribes also monolithic?" There should be cracks in the struggle for power and profit, right? ”

"This is nature, where there are interests, there must be fighting, and there will definitely not be monolithic."

"In that case, why don't you take down the tribal leaders who don't support our redemption of Liaoning, and replace them with people who support both Ali Buge's rule and our redemption of Liaoning?" Jia Ling smiled slyly.

I have to say that Jia Ling's plan is very bold, because this is tantamount to putting her hand inside Dayuan, and if you are not careful, you will anger Ali Buge.

"Husband, are you afraid that Brother Ali will be angry when he knows this?" Sai Si Shi laughed.

"Of course I'm afraid. Don't forget, he tore up my letter when he talked about redeeming the land. If he had known that I was meddling in his internal affairs, I am afraid that he might have to fight against me. Although the Yuanren are not strong now, they still have the strength to fight with us, although they will definitely lose in the end, but I don't like this. ”

"Don't worry, husband, as long as you tell Brother Ali Bu all these things clearly, get his consent, and promise not to interfere with his governance of Dayuan, everything will be fine." Sai Xi Shi said confidently.

"Sister Xi Shi is right. Brother Ali Buge will never like those who oppose him, and he may not be unwilling to cooperate with your brother to get rid of them. Even if you don't want to, you will definitely not fight with you, and at most you will no longer agree to redeem Liaoning. ”

After hearing this, Shi Bin thought about it carefully. I feel that it is indeed more than one way to redeem Liaoning if you want to take it back, and it is a big deal to find a reason to start a war again and recapture it by force. So Shi Bin finally agreed with the views of the two female Zhuge brothers.
