The turbulent land of Haidong, with a Jurchen army of up to 3,000 people, has set out from Dingju in Goryeo under the leadership of their Dubo Fierce Wanyan Uyashu, and swooped down on the tens of thousands of Bewuban troops in Pyongyang, Goryeo, Xijing!

An unprecedented catastrophe is about to befall the people of Goryeo and the bureaucratic landlord class!

Thousands of miles away, in Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, who had just gained temporary tranquility with an armistice agreement of "no land and no compensation", suddenly found that they were once again on the verge of a war that they simply did not want.

It was in Wu Haogu that he finally put together a budget for the expedition to Goryeo (it was a budget, not money. The great capitalist republican regime of Wu Haogu did not have no money on the books of the Bank of Tianjin, but implemented strict budget management, and could not spend the savings that had been saved up with great difficulty), and could order eight or nine thousand soldiers and horses (not counting the navy), dozens of warships and transports, and slaughtered Goryeo in a mighty manner, and went to establish a fighting friendship with Wanyan Wu Yashu. He didn't forget to ask Yang Jian to inform the imperial court of the situation of the "Sea Alliance".

That's right, it is the covenant that is said to have broken off the Northern Song Dynasty's Huahua and Liao. Wu Haogu doesn't plan to learn the lessons of history now, but he is still preparing to form an alliance with the Jurchen to destroy Liao!

This is contrary to his original idea of maintaining the Liao State against the Jurchens, but even if a person crosses, he must keep pace with the times!

Because he has seen through the weakness of the Liao State. With or without the soy sauce soldiers of the Song Dynasty, the Jurchens could destroy the Liao State. Even if the Jurchens are not strong enough, there are also Hebul of the Meng Gu Department and Huer Zahusi of the Kereh Department. Oh, now that there is a glorious, progressive, democratic, and scientific Youzhou republican regime, how can the Liao State not perish?

Since the Liao State is bound to perish, then Lianjin and Lianmeng are not a problem. Now the question is just what conditions to use for Lianjin and Lianmeng......

In the Chongzheng Palace, Yang Jian, who estimated that he was going to be a meritorious hero of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, was talking endlessly about the possibility of uniting the Jurchens, destroying the Great Liao, and recovering the lost territory in Hedong.

“…… This presiding Jurchen tribal alliance of Hushui Wanyan claimed to be from the Langya Wang family, and was a descendant of the sage Wang Xizhi, so he has always admired the cultural customs of my Great Song Dynasty. In the past, it was only because of the oppression of the Khitans that it was isolated from Middle-earth and gradually reduced to barbarians. Now they intend to restore communication with the Central Plains by sea after acquiring the eastern and western lands of Goryeo, and they are willing to pay tribute to our Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, King Yan played before the cross-sea expedition to Goryeo, hoping that the imperial court could canonize the leader of the Jurchen tribal alliance, and Du Bo Jilie was the king, the capital of the northeast was protected, and the Haidong festival was envoy. In this way, the heroic and good at fighting, known as the invincible Shengjurchen tribal alliance, will become the vassal of the Great Song Dynasty, with their help, the imperial court will break the Khitan and recover the lost land in Hedong and Yunzhong! ”

Yang Jian's words were finally finished, and the monarchs and ministers in the hall were dumbfounded. In the Chongzheng Hall of Nuoda, it was quiet.

If Wu Haogu could package the Jurchen Tribal Alliance as the "King of the Great Song and Jin" a year earlier, in front of the faint monarchs and traitors in Kaifeng Mansion, it would have been a voice of praise for virtue, and Zhao Ji must have felt good, and it was indispensable to add an official to Wu Haogu.

But now, the traitorous ministers have finally realized a terrible fact, the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals who can fight a big victory are not at all something that the imperial court can control!

Even civilian officials who can win big battles are just as unreliable!

It is of course easy to break the Khitan and recover the lost territory in Hedong and Yunzhong. Let Wu Haogu also lead the Yunzhong Jiedu envoy, let Zhang Yuan also lead Shuofang, Hedong Jiedu envoy.

It has strong troops from the northwest and Youzhou to seize Yunzhong and Hedong, and there is no need for the imperial court to send troops.

But what happens after that? After getting the three towns of Yunzhong, Hedong, and Shuofang, Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan had all the elite soldiers in the world.

In this world, is it going to return to the troubled times of "the Son of Heaven would rather have a kind, and the soldiers and horses are strong"?

Now, without the approval of the imperial court, Wu Haogu has joined forces with the Jurchens to start a war against Goryeo, a friendly neighbor of the Great Song Dynasty. If the imperial court follows Wu Haogu's meaning, and the daughters of Feng Sheng are really extremely strong as kings, the northeast is mostly protected, and Haidong is the envoy, wouldn't it be so that Wu Haogu will get another strong reinforcement?

And if the Liao State is really destroyed by Wu Haogu and the Shengjurchen team, Yunzhong, the northeast of Hedong, and even part of the territory of the Liao Kingdom Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Province will be assigned to Wu Haogu, right? At that time, the population and land owned by Wu Haogu will have to multiply several times.

When the time comes, Wu Haogu is the essence of soldiers, sufficient food, and vast land, who can be the enemy in the world?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Yan's plan to unite and give birth to Jurchen is very inappropriate." Cai Jing finally broke the silence and was the first to come out of the class and play, "My dynasty is a country of etiquette, so we should abide by our faith and not be confused by small profits." Now that our dynasty is negotiating peace with the Liao State, and has just reached an armistice, how can we be treacherous and win over the vassals of the Liao State?

Moreover, the Jurchen is known as invincible, which shows that its bravery is far superior to that of the Khitan. In case the Jurchens rise up on behalf of the Khitan and dominate the Northern Dynasty, the disaster will only be worse than that of the Khitan. If the Khitan is a hungry wolf on the grassland, then the birth of a Jurchen is undoubtedly a tiger in the deep mountains and old forests. How can we unite tigers to fight wolves? ”

He Zhizhong, the right minister, also played: "Your Majesty, what Cai Jing said is very good. There is no such thing as a tiger killing a wolf. Wolves are especially capable of fighting, and tigers are invincible. Moreover, the imperial court has been fighting viciously with the Khitan since last year, and Hebei and Hedong are almost white, with heavy casualties among officers and soldiers, displaced people, and the state treasury is even more unable to make ends meet. The wealth accumulated over the years since Yuanfeng is now very little. According to the Hebei and Hedong transit envoys, all the prefectures under the jurisdiction of the two roads this year have failed to harvest, and the summer and autumn taxes that can be collected are only two to three percent of last year. Dingzhou Road and Zhending Mansion in Hebei are almost tax-free. The Hedong Road has not yet fallen, and the revenue of Fenzhou and Jinzhou in the state armies has been reduced by ninety percent. The states under the jurisdiction of Linfu Road have also reduced their income by more than 70%. Therefore, the two transport envoys of Hedong and Hebei urgently needed money and grain from the imperial court for military needs.

In addition, because the war in Hebei and Hedong was not extinguished, it was difficult for the small people to make a living, so they fled to the Japanese. Gyeonggi Road, Gyeongseo-ro, Gyeongbuk-bong Road and other places have all reported a large influx of displaced people. Outside the city of Kaifeng Mansion, there are now displaced people everywhere, and they are in urgent need of relief from the imperial court. But the treasury is empty, and the court can't afford much grain......"

After listening to He Zhizhong's report, Zhao Ji's tears were about to fall. How can a peaceful and prosperous world with a lot of money and moldy at the good end have a feeling of falling apart in the blink of an eye?

After He Zhizhong finished reporting the funeral, it was his turn to report to Wu Juhou, the Privy Council. Because the Song-Liao War was not going well, the imperial court had to find a scapegoat, and the Military Machinery Division, which was founded by Wu Haogu, took the blame. Not long ago, the Privy Council had once again taken back the power to dispatch troops.

However, it is impossible for the Privy Council to bring any good news to Zhao Ji.

"Your Majesty, the Xuanfu Division of Hebei and Hedong both reported regimental training and the rebel army in the jurisdiction. The good and the bad are uneven, and there are many people who build dock forts privately, entrench themselves in mountain dangers, coerce good people, and collect taxes privately. There were also people who openly expelled court officials, plundered official warehouses, and occupied county seats. What he does is no different from Youzhou and Hexi!

What's more, there are even some regimental training leaders who openly accept official positions from the Liao State or the Youzhou Army! ”

Wu Haogu seems to have stabbed Zhao Ji with a small basket again! The regimental training he promoted in Hebei Xuanfu is now showing signs of getting out of control.

Many landlords and bullies in Hebei and Hedong took the opportunity of forming regiments to train against Liao, pulled up their ranks, entrenched themselves on the top of the mountains, and became the emperor of the soil. In particular, in the area of the Taihang Mountains and the Luliang Mountains between the Song-Liao military demarcation line, the phenomenon of regimental training and division was serious.

Most of the major cities in that area were occupied by the Khitans, but in the mountainous areas, the Song Dynasty's regimental training took advantage of the opportunity to swarm up, occupying the power vacuum after the Song Dynasty's government withdrew. Each occupies the mountain and occupies an area and dominates one side. There was even a group training leader who was active and looked for an organization everywhere, and the serious Great Song Dynasty government did not allow them, so they went to the Khitan to Youzhou.

And Yelu Yanxi and Wu Haogu also did not refuse to come, and the empty official hats were scattered indiscriminately, and they did not pay them anyway.

Zhao Ji listened to one bad news after another, and everyone was about to collapse. But what about it? There's nothing to be done!

He was silent for a long time before he sighed heavily: "Wu Haogu's invitation, I know." ”

Just "got it", and didn't say yes or no, the matter was put on hold.

The alliance on the sea or something, Wu Haogu will go and conclude it by himself, Da Song will not participate. Anyway, the Khitans now know that Youzhou is the "third party" and Hexi is the "fourth party".

Yang Jian understood what Zhao Ji meant, so he had to make a salute, and then retreated out of the Chongzheng Palace, where the monarch and ministers were deliberating.

Seeing Yang Jian leaving, Zhao Ji sighed again: "Zhuqing, how is the matter of the state?" Do you have a way to deal with it? ”

Cai Jing and He Zhizhong glanced at each other. Now the military reform of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be a complete failure! It was the practice of linking land and military service that gave birth to the two major feudal towns of Youzhou and Hexi. If the original mercenary system was still the same, the nearly 80,000 troops under the command of Wu Haogu (including the troops of the army, navy and affiliated prefectures, as well as the citizen soldiers of the Shang City) would have to spend millions and tens of millions of dollars if they sat still all year round. How could Wu Haogu afford it? Not to mention Hexi Zhangyuan's poor man, he has fifteen thousand knights!

In the case of extreme mobilization, at least 30,000 knights and auxiliary soldiers and the same number of auxiliaries can be pulled, 60,000 troops, one man and two horses...... Such soldiers need to be raised by the imperial court, and 120,000 war horses alone cost tens of millions, and 60,000 horsemen Yang can't sit at home without seven or eight million.

It seems that the ancestral family law still cannot be abolished!
