Volume 2 The Wind and Clouds Between the Rivers Chapter 211 The Deer Song Xihe

Chi Qiu thought about it, indeed, the current situation seems to be, whether it is Lusong or Xihe in Jiangnan, the salt between the rivers is still controlled, if you can dry salt by the sea, the land of Qilu is an excellent salt farm, the coastline is vast, obviously the salt production and salt sales in the river are not regulated, this is really a profitable business, there is no risk, what soap, what brine water, what chicken farm, the welfare of this traverser is still quite a lot. According to Lao Yang, this He Nu country, the woman is a lord, and there is no pressure to marry with the surrounding princes, and the daughter can return to the country to inherit the position of the princess, and the son can inherit the family business of the princes.

In just one hundred years, Jiangnan has formed a peculiar scene where all the princes are the sons-in-law of the He Nu country.

Although the Western Tang Dynasty and Dongyu are the co-lords of the world, but all over the country is just to survive, neither on the offer nor on the conquest, in the era of Su Musha, the princes attacked and attacked, and some of the powerful princes successively called the king, and the feudal country was actually a highly independent kingdom. The Western Tang Dynasty was invaded by the Bailan people many times, and finally perished, after Dongyu was replaced by the ministers, the usurpative Song Dynasty gradually ruled the Central Plains, gradually becoming stronger, and at this time the Jiangnan region due to the abundance of real estate, the population is faster than other places, and also formed its own political pattern, Wu State, Yue State, Qian State, Min State, Hui State, Huai State, Donghe State, only this He country is still called the countess, in addition to because of the founding of the Donghe State, it was renamed Xihe Bo Abroad, the Jiangnan hegemony is out of the matter, never participated in the battle, but summoned some of the princes who failed to divide the country, Qiantang, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Huaiyang and other feudal lords planned, and the king of Donghe led his troops to conquer Japan. Historically known as the "He Girl Crusade"

Later, the Western and Eastern Empires established the "Great Treasury" together, and began to mint coins for the princes through the gold and silver mined in Japan. Whether it is gold, silver, or copper coins, the West Dutch coins are gorgeously patterned and exquisitely minted, and even far better than the silver coins privately minted by various princes at that time.

Moreover, the Xihe Kingdom was bent on developing maritime trade entrepot trade, and brought weapons, knives, pearls, coral, folding fans, and lacquerware from the East. Rhino horn, spices, tin, sugar, ivory, frankincense, ambergris, jewelry, and other things bought from Nanyang were then resold from Songjiang to the Jiangnan magnates.

It was not easy for other princes in the south of the Yangtze River to sail on the sea, and they were more concerned about fighting for hegemony than going to the sea, and many princes did not have the ability to sail long distances even if they were near the sea, so the princes' ceramics, tea and silk were also transported overseas by relying on the Xihe caravan, and everyone naturally formed a trading system of Xihe currency.

Later, after the change of Jingkang, the Duchess of Xihe called on Jiangnan to accept the royal family of the Song Dynasty to maintain the Chinese bloodline, and accepted the canonization of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, gave the surname of He, and was originally called the Duchy of Xihe, still called the Baroness, when the Suojin people moved south, Jiangnan united as one, and resisted the Jin soldiers, and then the Song and Jin made a peace treaty: Song Jin soldiers, King Suojin asked to marry the Duchess of Xihe, and the Song Dynasty coins and silver silk were 300,000 each.

The Duchy of West Holland single-handedly undertook half of the silver silk coins and silks, ensuring half of China's country.

"Actually, there used to be a lot in the river

The princes of Dosokin, everyone has been using the West Dutch currency for a long time, but this Suo Xia requires all new coins printed by the Duchy of West Holland to have the Suo Xia family emblem, so that the East China Sea Alliance is controlled, and the Lusong Dynasty built the capital Lin'an, which is not all the way to the Duchy of West Dutch. ”

"Isn't the Duchy of West Holland rich in the world? Lin'an and Songjiang are close, how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Especially such a rich woman? ”

"On the side of the couch there is no room for others to sleep soundly! The rich woman. Lao Yang tasted this sentence: "You are saying this very vividly." ”

Chi Qiu thought that there might not be such a saying in this world, and smiled pleasantly: "You say yes, this overseas seems to be making money every day, and the Lusong Dynasty will not want this money." ”

"It naturally wants to, but it doesn't dare, this Duchy of West Holland has a life-saving grace for the royal family of Lu Song, the royal ancestral precepts always have to abide by it, respect the Duchy of West Holland as permanent neutrality, not to mention that Lu Song now occupies half of the south of the Yangtze River, in the past in Wenzhou to build a city of Bo Division, Fuzhou to see the Xuanwei Division, and now in Quanzhou to build a city Bo Ti Division, it wants to go overseas trade, why care about the Principality of West Holland, now the Principality of West Holland is not as good as before."

Chi Qiu only thought that now is not the years of unhindered shipping, trade with the South Seas, the closer to the south, the more geographical advantages, not to mention the South China Sea Alliance in Guangdong, the Duchy of West Holland is only afraid that the trade will shrink severely, and can only trade with Japan and North Korea, of course, if one day, really go to the East Ocean and develop the Americas, its geographical location will definitely rise again, after all, the economic and trade capacity of the Yangtze River Delta is second to none in the world.

"What permanent neutrality?" Chi Qiu is a bit of a modern term, and the first thing that comes to mind is Switzerland, which can survive two world wars.

"The Lusong royal family and the Zhao Song royal family are in the same vein, you don't know this." Lao Yang smiled a little proudly.

Chi Qiu said in surprise: "How come? Isn't this deer royal surnamed Lu? How could it be related to the Zhao Song royal family? ”

"That's a long story." Lao Yang said with a smile.

"Tell me about it!"

It turned out that since the Japanese occupied the Minhai area, gradually built the country, and continued to invade the north, encroaching on the south of the Yangtze River, the last years of the Later Liang, once forced Hangzhou, the Later Liang moved the capital to Jiangling, Dazai Zhao Qi went against the trend, opened the shogunate in Jinling, eliminated Ningbo, Liu Xiang, Madu and other separatist forces, united the Jiangnan princes Hannuo Bridge Battle to defeat the northern invasion of the Fusang coalition army, and then occupied Wenzhou, and relied on the reclamation, garrison, the establishment of military towns, and gradually stabilized the territory, from then on to Fusang from the defense to the attack.

This is a situation unseen in a century, and it has a great reputation, and it has sent troops to the Northern Expedition three times, and has made great achievements. Dazai monopolized the government for more than ten years, and at that time, some subordinates once claimed that Zhao Qi was a descendant of the Zhao Song royal family and hoped that he would be the emperor, but Zhao Qi never transgressed, and Zhao Qi himself had no heirs.

After the death of Dazai, Jiangnan was in turmoil again, the founding emperor of Lusong was the nephew of the legendary Dazai Zhao Qi, when Dazai's family was poor, his elder brother entered the Liu's family as a son-in-law, and the descendants of later generations were naturally surnamed Liu, some of the old Dazai departments surrounded Gaozu, and Gaozu was determined to chase the Central Plains, so he changed his name to Liulu, and recognized himself

Hengshan Zhao originated from a certain emperor of the Song Dynasty, and then established the Song Dynasty, his eldest son Huizong succeeded to the throne, the second son Zong Taizu lineage, changed to the surname Zhao, Huizong five years, the prince died of illness, Huizong soon died, no heir.

At that time, Sejong had already inherited the surname Zhao, and the other descendants of the royal family were descendants of Gaozu's uncle, in contrast, the senior members of the court were determined to let his younger brother succeed to the throne, that is, Song Sejong.

After Sejong succeeded to the throne, it was stipulated that the royal children were surnamed Lu, the princess was surnamed Liu, and the uncle's heirs were surnamed Zhao, so it was called Lusong.

It doesn't matter whether the Lusong royal family is the bloodline of the previous Zhao Song dynasty, whether it is true or not, whether it is false or not, no one knows, but you recognize Zhao Song as the ancestor, you naturally have to listen to the words of the ancestors, the Duchy of Xihe really saved the Zhao Song family, otherwise there is no Southern Song Dynasty at all, and there will be no Dazai or Lu Song, a branch of the Hengshan Zhao family.

At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty was extremely close to Xihe, and it had long been determined that its status as a country within a country was unshakable, although the Duchess of Xihe had Suojin blood, but when the Six Yi were in chaos, the performance of the Duchy of Xihe was also a little circle, and it did a great job to maintain the Chinese heritage, so the people were still in awe of the Duchy of Xihe. The royal family of Lusong also gave the Duchy of West Holland --- the status and respect of the first Duchy of Lusong.
