Shanhaiguan, the tragic battle almost did not appear, no one is stupid, knowing that it cannot be breached, but still investing, unless there is no other choice, human life is worthless when the war comes, but once the loss is too much, no one can bear it.

The Liao army thought of other methods, but he didn't expect that the three that could use troops on a large scale were blocked.

Hundreds of miles around, it is impassable, if you want to make a detour, you must make a detour thousands of miles away, this price is not ordinarily large, even if it is Liao Xingzong, you have to consider it.

The war can't be fought, and next, of course, is the fight to send envoys, and the Liao State sent envoys to the Northern Song Dynasty, mainly to ask why they didn't declare war.

If you say, before, before Youyun was not taken, the envoys of the Liao State were still very strong in deterrence, but now, in a northern expedition, it didn't take even a month to take Zhejin Mansion, as well as the 12 states around Zhejin Mansion, what does this mean.

The Northern Song Dynasty has surpassed the Liao State in terms of combat effectiveness, and the Liao State has no way to even spend a Shanhaiguan Pass, so how can it be possible to send envoys to get things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield.

Gu Zuo said to him, this matter, any official of the Ministry of Rites will, he can talk to him non-stop in the clouds and mountains, but he just doesn't spit out, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Northern Song Dynasty is frantically building a fortress.

The 16 X-shaped fortresses were completed in Zhejin Mansion, and the Northern Song Dynasty had a foundation here, and the next step was to continue to build as needed.

Before there was no fortress, the Great Wall might be the only choice to build, but the super effect of the fortress is undoubtedly shown here, and the Great Wall is a wasteful choice.

The fortress may not be able to resist the enemy, so that the enemy can not cross it, but once there is a fortress erected in the rear, any military action that crosses the fortress will be very dangerous.

The envoys of the Liao State, in addition to finding the theory of the Northern Song Dynasty, also shouldered an important duty, that is, to spy on some information here, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were lost too quickly, so fast that they didn't get everything inside at all.

If the Northern Song Dynasty was not prepared, or that it was not well prepared, the Northern Song Dynasty would definitely not inform them of the situation, but now, some necessary preparations have been completed, and they can show off their muscles.

First of all, with these Liao envoys, I watched the fortress group located in the Northern Song Dynasty, and I really understood the effect of the fortress, and knew that the fortress was a kind of fortress that was difficult to overcome, and saw that it was located in the north of the original Northern Song Dynasty, with more than 400 fortresses, and I almost didn't scare the envoys to death.

4 fortresses, just blocked the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao State, the loss of tens of thousands, no effect at all, 400, this is almost an insurmountable task, the same, in this time period, located in Youzhou, the fortress has also been built 40, compared with the north, can not be compared, but it is enough to protect well.

The envoys of the Liao State continued to quarrel with the Ministry of Rites of the Northern Song Dynasty, anyway, they always had to get some benefits, but the personnel sent back had already passed on some information about the Northern Song Dynasty.

On the premise that the Imperial City Division can control everything on a large scale, these envoys of the Liao State and the actions of these spy personnel have always been under the monitoring of the Imperial City Division, and knowing the ultimate goal, of course it is easy to let them go back.

At present, Chen Bing is outside the Shanhai Pass, and it is almost impossible to break through the Shanhai Pass, but the hundreds of thousands of troops are not a joke, no matter how confident they are, Di Qing's 50,000 troops cannot be easily transferred back, and even in the hands of Han Qi, it is necessary to maintain a considerable number of troops all the time and be ready to fight at any time. target

Although it is said that this time the Northern Expedition is very fast, but the time of the war is not more than a month, the sacrifice is less, and the consumption is less, but the long-term stationing is indeed not very advantageous, if you can use the method of bright muscles, let the Liao State take the initiative to retreat, which is a very good thing for the Northern Song Dynasty.

After deducting the bluff, after all, this thing of the fortress is so big, and it can't be fake, and it really makes so many fakes, and it costs a lot of money.

When he knew that in the entire northern part of China, there were nearly 500 fortresses, and even in Youzhou, there were dozens of them, Liao Xingzong was silent, and there were other civil and military ministers who were also silent.

In fact, whether it is Liao Xingzong or the military generals of Liao, they have long had the intention of retreating.

Such a terrible and completely unexpected defense system of the fortress is not something that the Liao State can understand, and on the premise of not finding the weakness of the fortress, a blind attack can only be lost.

The Liao State has experienced the loss of the grassland, as well as the loss of the clouds, and can no longer afford more losses, this time to mobilize the whole country, it is also a huge cost, if it is here for a long time, there is no effect, there is no meaning.

In the end, it was Xiao Hui who proposed to withdraw the troops, and then Liao Xingzong thought about it for a while and agreed.

Although Liao is a country, it is more of a nomadic people, and the characteristic of nomads is that they submit to the strong, and if there is a strong, they can command everything.

The battle of the Liao and Song dynasties, even if the Liao State was defeated, but it was not the right choice to do it, no matter what the Liao State said, it was also the overlord of the grassland, Tian Khan, and now that it has failed this time, then continue to go back and accumulate strength and take everything back.

The envoy in charge of the negotiation of the Liao State is still in the Northern Song Dynasty and Tokyo, although he already knows very well that it is impossible to get more things in such a situation, what he can't get on the battlefield, and he still can't get it in negotiations, but he can't go back, even if he stays here.

On the premise of not gaining anything, or even suffering heavy losses, the Liao State began to gradually withdraw its troops, first hundreds of thousands of Pi Room troops, and then others.

For their retreat, Di Qing did not pursue, whether it was Han Qi or Di Qing, they knew very well that the battle of the Northern Expedition, after the Liao State retreated, had ended, and at this time, angering the Liao State would lead to a decisive battle, and it was still unknown whether the Northern Song Dynasty could gain the upper hand and expand the results of the battle.

Now that you have the fruits of victory, why bother to fight him.

In the current state, it is obvious that the Liao State itself has been hit hard, and the persecution is too much at this time, but it will fight to the death.

The millions of people who have lost the grassland, plus the 1.5 million or so of Youyun, the Liao State, which itself is less than 10 million, may only have a population of three or four million, what can such a population do, as long as it guards the Shanhaiguan Pass and develops slowly, the Liao State will be like the nomads on the grassland before, gradually declining, and will never have the previous prestige.

In this way, after the withdrawal of the Liao State, through the Imperial City Division, it was known that the Liao army had returned to Tokyo, and the Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army also began to withdraw one after another.

Of course, as a newly occupied territory and located on the border of the Liao-Song Dynasty, of course, it is impossible to complete the retreat, but the previous army of more than 300,000 will be reduced to between 120,000 and 150,000, and the original second-line troops located in Sanguan will gradually come up, replace and take over, and when the time comes, a fixed number will be formed.

The Northern Expedition has been completely completed so far, in the middle of Renzong, an almost impossible task was completed, and Zhejin Mansion was taken, although it only recovered the 12 states of Youzhou, and did not take down the 4 states of Yunzhou, for the Northern Song Dynasty, it was good enough, when the northern defense line was rectified, and most of the key points were sealed with the fortress, the northern barrier of the Northern Song Dynasty would be very good.

Even if it is the Liao army at its peak, it is impossible to enter through the defense line in the north, and the original army in the north will be combined with the northwest, and it is enough to focus on guarding against the northwest, so that a large number of garrisons can be saved and expenses can be saved.

The credit has been made, and the reward is also behind it, and it is unceremonious to say that as long as Han Qi returns to Tokyo, it is almost inevitable that he will be promoted by one level, either as a privy envoy or simply as the head of the Eastern Mansion.

These will be the problems that Renzong has to consider, he has to adjust some people, Zhang Dexiang and Jia Chaochang, there will definitely be one down, which one is specific, it is difficult to say.

Han Qi knew this very well, and did not force to ask, but continued to operate Youyun, when the Liao State sent envoys to fight with the Northern Song Dynasty, his main energy was to focus on building fortresses, and it took a month to open at least 80 and build more than 40 fortresses.

The occupied territories, aside from the contradictions between the Liao and Song dynasties, changed an emperor and a manager, in the middle, how many contradictions will occur, some of the levels of interests, whether they will agree, whether they will resist, plus some methods and taxes, these will have a huge impact, at least in the first 3 years, we must maintain a high-pressure situation.

The solution given by Ding Haijun made Han Qi happy, everyone got it for you, and some of the people left behind were all Shunmin, or they had defected to the Northern Song Dynasty before, in this case, how much land could be used for the development of the entire Youyun.

Compared with the barren northwest, located in Zhejin Prefecture, in history, it is Youzhou, where the Han people reproduce, is definitely the best choice, and even Han Qi does not need to invest a lot, naturally there are businessmen and families to join in.

Immigration, this has become the only topic in Youzhou at present, Youzhou is close to Hebei, Shanxi, these places, has always been a place with few people and more people, as long as you move a little over, not too much, one or two million, the future development of Youzhou, it will be different.

At this time, the transaction between Ding Haijun and Han Qi showed its effect, a fleet can transport 7,000 groups, which is almost more than 800,000 yuan, this money is used for the army, this is a small amount of money, and the army will cost a lot of money.

But for immigration, for infrastructure construction, it's not a small amount of money.

In the north, because the Liao State will not be able to manage, the water conservancy facilities left by the Han people in the past have fallen into disrepair for a long time and can no longer bear the heavy responsibility of farming, but rebuilding and repairing are completely two concepts.

Similarly, in Youzhou, where the Liao State did not pay attention in the past, a large amount of farmland and water conservancy was opened, and how much arable land would be reclaimed for resettlement, which not only ensured the safety of Tokyo, but also increased the grain of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

Han Qi was in the north, and according to his plan, when he began to prepare for a big construction, a large fleet appeared in the Ryukyus.

This is the fleet that received the first batch of people from Tanggu and transferred it.

Even if the Ding Navy popularized sail warships, the monsoon was relatively suitable, but the huge immigration of tens of thousands of people still had more or less problems.

These immigrants are not in the Ding Navy, who have been trained and pacified, and already have disciplined workers, nor are they people who have undergone a certain selection and are highly loyal to the Ding Navy.

These are captives, slave-like existences, even if Ding Haijun does not harshly reprimand them, he will be full at every meal, and he will not deliberately harshly reprimand them, but the mortality rate has always been not low.

The reason is very simple, these people who have lived on the mainland for a long time and have never been on a ship at all are not suitable for navigation at all, and they have no adaptability.

After all, on the sea, closed and narrow cabins, relatively empty environments, and strange unknowns, these are huge pressures, some people can't bear it, they are directly crushed, and some of them are weak and sick, and they will also get sick.

Ding Haijun will treat people, but he will not do it at any cost, because there are few ships, at most there is a doctor on one ship, plus some medicines, these things may not be able to save everyone.

During the 10-day voyage, more than 400 people were lost in total, and nearly 1,000 were seriously ill.

Of course Ding Haijun will not be the Virgin, even these people will be responsible, they just do their duty to reduce the death as much as possible, if they really die, there is no way, the sea is the best place to bury.

Fortunately, this is not like the immigration of the Age of Discovery, only more than 2,000 miles of voyage, walking close to the coast, almost no wind and waves, everything went smoothly, and finally arrived at the destination.

When the land appeared, many people showed a relieved expression, even some sailors of the Ding Navy were no exception, those sailors who had walked too many sea routes, such a continuous death, it was the first time, the shadow of death, pressed in the heart, even if the heart understood, the pressure was huge, and when it came to land, it was finally possible to breathe a sigh of relief.

Those laborers, seeing the land, thought that they had arrived somewhere, and did not realize that this was an island, and even these people in the northern land, after arriving in the Ryukyus for a long time, knew that this was an island, and even because the labor was too hard, some people chose to escape, but no matter how much they ran, they could not run out of this big island, and they were finally captured, of course, and were sentenced to death.

At least for now, Ryukyu is their home for a long time to come, and similarly, Ryukyu urgently needs these people to station.
