Chapter 54 Ambition
Seeing that Ah Guta was interested in the alliance, Wang Lun spoke again, "The Jurchens have been suffering for a long time, and they have won the support of the surrounding tribes, so they can replace them. I, the Great Song Dynasty, am willing to help with money, money and food, just to recover the clouds. ”
Wang Lun revealed the secret in Ah Guta's heart, Ah Gu Da couldn't sit still anymore, and asked directly: "Da Song is thousands of miles away, how can I know about my clan!" ”
Wang Lun knew that Ah Guda was afraid that the anti-Liao news would leak and he would become passive, so he asked rhetorically. "Du Bo is a generation of heroes, with a far-sighted mind, and has long had the heart to be the king, no one knows from far or near!"
Speaking of this, Wang Lun paused for a moment, and then said: "Even Yelu Yanxi has heard about it, but he just closes his eyes and listens, and he can get by!" ”
Yelu Yanxi was a trouble-feared monarch, and his favorite thing was hunting and cruises, and nothing could delay his Yaxing. Wang Lun remembered that just before Aguta raised his army, Yelu Yanxi also sent Agubao to ask Aguta if he would rebel! So Ah Guda took the lead, which is ridiculous!
Aguda knew that Wang Lun was telling the truth. In the early years, Yelu Yanxi was about to kill himself at the head fish banquet, but Xiao Fengxian saved himself. Now that he has accumulated strength and demonstrated his strength, some people have even encouraged Yelu Yanxi from time to time, but Yelu Yanxi has never been able to make up his mind to crusade against himself.
Wang Lun's words made Ah Guda feel that time was running out, and it seemed that he would speed up the pace of anti-Liao.
"The sixteen states of Yanyun are the homeland of your country, and the Great Song Dynasty has the heart to send troops." Ah Guda heard another message in Wang Lun's words, so he said seemingly casually, "Although my Jurchen is mostly a wild man in the mountains and forests, I also know loyalty. If the Great Song Dynasty sends troops to fight Liao, my Jurchen clan is willing to respond to the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Ah Guda knew that Youyun was the pain point of the Song people for a hundred years, and after listening to Wang Lun mention it, he also threw this bait. wanted the Great Song Dynasty to become his vanguard against Liao, so he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
This time, the master-slave relationship between the anti-Liao was reversed. And Da Song only got fame, and all the profit was taken up by himself. Borrowing chickens to lay eggs is a common trick used by Aguta. In Ah Guta's impression, most of the Song people will agree with the good name.
Wang Lun couldn't guess Ah Guta's thoughts, although he was just a fake messenger, he couldn't agree to Ah Guta's request. "The Liao lord is greedy and unkind, and the Jurchens raise troops in accordance with current events. I am the state of etiquette in the Great Song Dynasty, and I have an alliance with Daliao, and I must not lose my trust to others. "Wang Lun's meaning is very clear, we can consider raising troops to attack, but we want the Jurchens to take the lead in sending troops.
Ah Guda didn't want Wang Lun to be so sober-minded, so he categorically rejected his proposal. Seeing that Wang Lun didn't fall into the trap, Ah Guda said with a heart in his heart: "The vast territory is thousands of miles away, the population is 10 million, and the people who control the strings are millions, how can we and other remote people be shaken!" ”
Wang Lun and Ah Guta are not ordinary people, they have repeatedly tested each other, and they have spoken back and forth. Wang Lun said that he wanted to form an alliance with the Jurchens, and Aguta also admitted that he wanted to oppose Liao. At this time, Ah Gu saw that Da Song would not come out, and cried that his strength was not enough, and he wanted to retreat.
"Haha, Du Bo is extremely worried, although the Liao State has a million soldiers, it has long been in decay. Think about the countries around him, and his soldiers and horses are almost half pinned. Xijing, Nanjing, Ningwu Pass, Yanmen Pass, etc., which one does not involve a large number of troops of the Liao State? Moreover, although the party in the southwest of Liao State clearly bowed down to Liao State, how could Liao State not guard against it? ”
"In this way, the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized by the Liao State, in addition to the palace tent army and the leather room army, are the private armies of the kings. However, how could the kings' private armies be willing to die for Yelu Yanxi? ”
"As for the palace tent army, Yelu Yanxi will not be easily transferred out of Shangjing. The palace tent army was the elite of the Liao State and was responsible for protecting the safety of Yelu Yanxi. If it is easy to go out of Beijing, then the Liao Kingdom will have a good show, after all, Yelu Chongyuan's matter has not passed for a few years. ”
Wang Lun smiled lightly and analyzed the situation in Liao in a few words.
Ah Guda is also a smart person, and he doesn't need Wang Lunming to say that he knows that there are people in Shangjing with bad intentions. This kind of thing has happened many times in the Jurchen tribe. The Jurchens were gathered by many tribes, and the largest tribe was not the Wanyan tribe. And after some fighting, the Wanyan tribe became the most powerful tribe by chance, and subdued many scattered tribes, such as the White Mountain, Ye Repentance, Tongmen, Ye Lazy, Tugu Theory, etc.
"The matter of opposing Liao is very important, and we must think twice during the period of raising troops. My Jurchen is located in a remote area and lacks materials, but I have to rely on the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Lun's analysis of the Liao State is also the same as Ah Guta's judgment, so Ah Guta said: "Since we both hate the Great Liao, it is also a good thing to build a traffic question." This time, Lord Song gave me a lot of things, but I didn't return the gift but it was not polite. You will live in Huining for a while, and wait for me to arrange it and give you the Zhao family's son of heaven a gift in return. ”
Aguta's meaning is that the matter of the alliance is orally decided, and the two sides will discuss it again during the period of raising troops, so that they can first trade with each other and exchange ideas. Iron tools, grain, salt tea, cloth, paper, etc., were all needed by the Jurchens. There are also silk, Shu brocade and other things that the Jurchen nobles like, which are the most scarce among the Jurchen people. Although it is not very practical, it must be good to reward his subordinates.
Wang Lun also said bluntly: "What the Great Song Dynasty wants most is war horses, but horses are the foundation of a strong country, so I am afraid that Du Bo will not be able to leave the country easily." The implication is that if the Jurchens did not sell horses, the military and civilian materials such as iron, grain, and salt of the Great Song Dynasty would not be sold.
As the saying goes, you can't let a child trap a wolf. Ah Guda couldn't do anything, so he had to agree. "The Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao are enemies, and my Jurchen is also the enemy of the Great Liao. Our clan is willing to trade 100 war horses and the Great Song Dynasty every year, which is a clear proof that I am willing to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty! ”
"I have a big Song mind all over the world, Bianjing, Dengzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and noble businessmen are all here! The ginseng of Changbai Mountain and the deer skin of Xing'an Mountains are all needed by my Great Song Dynasty. Wang Lun said again: "If Du Bo Jilie opens the number of war horses to three hundred, my Great Song Shochu will also be supplied openly." ”
Wang Lun's proposal is also reasonable, and both sides take what they need. The Jurchens got the strong wine for the warriors to ward off the cold, and Wang Lun got the war horses to build the cavalry. After some bargaining, the two sides set the number of horses at two hundred. This is not a small number, you must know that the cavalry of the entire Jurchen clan is only more than 2,000 people, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the Jurchen.
This night of verbal exchange, the two sides only at this point to get to the substance.
After taking a sip of wine and warming up, Ah Guda said again: "In the past, Dengzhou was originally a big port to the sea, but it only declined because of the Great Liao. If the Great Song Dynasty intends to communicate well, the market can be opened, and the two sides can also communicate with each other. ”
As soon as he heard the word Dengzhou, Wang Lun chuckled in his heart. If the field is placed in Dengzhou, then his quasi-father-in-law Zhang Shuye must know. With that old man's temperament, bad things are bound to happen.
His original intention was that he was Li Dai Taozhuang and made friends with the Jurchens, and used Chai Jin to exchange relations with the Jurchens in Cangzhou.
In the Song Dynasty, there was no information from Li Liangsi and others, who sent the Jurchen, and the court must have thought that they were either buried in the sea or in the mouth of the tiger, and even if they sent people again, they didn't know what year and month it was. even thought that the Jurchens were unwilling to form an alliance, so they simply gave up on the matter. In short, the Great Song Dynasty could not contact the Jurchens, which destroyed the alliance between the two sides.
In the Jurchens, if there is Cangzhou Mutual Market to get what they want, the Jurchens will think that it is the meaning of the Great Song Dynasty. With Chai Jin, the emperor of the soil, covering up, there is a lot to be done. In short, it was concealed for a while, delaying the progress of the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens.
"In the past, it was to defend against the sea, but it was actually to defend against Liao. After all, Dengzhou is a century-old port, with many people and miscellaneous eyes, and Liao people often come and go. If you open another port in Cangzhou, one will be closer, and the other will be conducive to covering. "Chai Jin is now in Cangzhou Daxing Haiyan, even if it is to build a seaport.
Ah Guda pondered for a while, and also felt that what Wang Lun said was reasonable, and nodded: "Okay!" Just according to your envoy's words! ”
I really thought that I had connected with Da Song, and Ah Guda was full of joy. Looking forward to the future destruction of the Great Liao, he is called lonely......
Wang Lun looked at the night sky, his eyes burning.
