However, it is impossible for Huang Jie to be idle in Huazhou, waiting for things to make good progress. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After sending off Li Bangyan and Gao Yu's two condolence groups, and appeasing the women's army led by Yao Erniang, Huang Jie also left the members of the Jinyu Club led by Fan Cheng in Huazhou and held a secret meeting behind closed doors for a few days.
At the meeting, he finally regained control of the Jinyu Society, which had been out of his control for more than a year.
First of all, for more than a year, the glazed workshop located in the secret camp of Huangzhou Zuo near the tea mountain has provided the members of the Golden Jade Club with a total of about 5 million yuan worth of glazed utensils, which can be regarded as the first pot of gold required for this business.
Then, it took nearly two years for the members of the 33 Golden Jade Societies to finally complete the foreign business layout of the Great Song Dynasty planned and established by Huang Jie early in the morning, and not only gained a foothold in Liaodi, Western Xia, Uighurs, Tibet, and the southern Xinjiang countries and Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Fuzhou and other places, but also equipped various commercial channels, warehousing and logistics and other infrastructure.
Judging from the logistics statistics of the enterprises affiliated to the Jinyuhui in the second quarter of the first year of Jingkang, which were recently compiled at the end of June, the total value of the foreign trade of the enterprises affiliated to the Jinyuhui reached an astonishing 4.6 million yuan in the second quarter alone, and even the rice imported by Jiaozhi in Annam alone replied with 120,000 stones.
In addition, the trade of ironware, canned meat, tea bricks, horses, cattle and sheep to the Western Xia and Uighurs also accounted for a large proportion, but nearly 3,000 horses were re-exported in the second quarter, which was enough to form a cavalry force for the Great Song Dynasty.
According to the statistics of Fan Cheng, Huang Jie alone took out 5 million yuan, but after two years of operation, there are as many as 10 million yuan of principal and interest, and the annual profit margin is as much as 50%. And how much the principal and gift money each of the 33 members took out is an astronomical amount that is difficult to calculate.
At this time, after seeing Huang Jie's trip to Jinguo, not only did he come back safely, but also abducted the princess of Jinguo, he naturally understood Huang Jie's awesomeness, and decided to follow Huang Jie all the way to the dark.
After holding a three-day meeting, after learning more about the operation of the Golden Jade Society for more than a year, Huang Jie also put forward the next stage of the work goal of the Golden Jade Society, that is, to tilt the resources controlled by the entire Golden Jade Society to the Liao State and Western Xia in the northwest.
Now, the original Liao lord of Liao, Emperor Tianzuo, was captured by the Jin State, and then Yeluchun was driven out of Xijin Mansion by the Jin army and ran to Datong Mansion to continue to resist, and the Liao prince Yelu Ao Luhu has now fled to Zhenzhou in Shangjing Province and also erected a big banner, and the two echoed each other from afar, ready to fight to the death with Jin.
At this time, the forces of the Jin State were dispersed again, and the western army of the Jin State was now coiled around the Jinfu and stared at Yeluchun from afar. And the elite of the country is stationed in Linhuang Mansion, Dading Mansion and Huining Mansion, to be honest, it really wants to ask Jin Guo to defend the huge Youyan Sixteen Prefectures, it is only afraid that it is really beyond its strength, and this is why Wu Qimai is willing to use money and what good iron to redeem the Great Song Dynasty.
And for Wu Qimai, as long as there is money, it is equivalent to having soldiers and horses, and having good iron means having weapons. And after making this deal with Da Song, wait until the day when the money is not enough to spend, and then send troops to grab it back.
Therefore, at this time, it is better to wait for the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate with Wu Qimai about redemption, and it is better to stab him directly in the back. Therefore, Huang Jie also put forward a plan, asking the merchants in charge of docking the Liaodi trade to try to contact Yeluchun in Datong Prefecture and Yelu Aolu in Zhenzhou, saying that they could provide them with military supplies including food, armor, weapons, war horses, and even various firearms in the basic version of the Great Song Dynasty.
Moreover, in order to facilitate the settlement of accounts, Huang Jie also named the force represented by Yelu Chun as "Western Liao", and the force represented by Yelu Ao Luhu inherited the title of "Northern Liao".
However, just a few days later, on August 15, the channel of the imperial car army sent a news called Huang Jie was also very surprised, that is, the Song army's horse scouting found that at the low time of July, Xiao Gan, the king of the four armies who retreated to Datong Mansion with Yeluchun, suddenly led thousands of Xi troops to flee, and actually returned to Jianzhu Mountain (now known as Zushan, which happened to be in Qinglong County, west of Shanhaiguan), and built a great Xi country in his palace, with the country name "Tianhei", and called himself the emperor of Xi State.
And within a few days, he actually gathered dozens of Xi tribesmen's warriors to form an army of 100,000 horses, and captured Yuguan in ten days, as well as Yingzhou, Pingzhou, Luanzhou, Shicheng, Macheng and other places south of Yuguan, and the army was strong for a while.
Because Huang Jie happened to return south from Yuguan and went around Shicheng, he also knew that the Jin army's strength in this area was indeed weak, for example, the defenders of Shicheng were only more than 2,000 people, and there were still very few Jurchens, most of them were servant troops who went south to collect them. And the Jin defenders in Yingzhou, Pingzhou, Luanzhou and other places are only a few thousand people, and they are also Jurchens with few miscellaneous soldiers, so Xiao Gan turned back this time and gathered the Xi tribe to form a large army, which can really be regarded as a surprise to the Jin army.
Immediately, Huang Jie also made a decision, and he was busy contacting Xiao Gan, willing to provide him with all kinds of materials, as long as he could defend the Chongqing Pass and work hard with the Jin people, even if it was paid in installments.
It's just that I don't know if it's because of this change, or because of other reasons, Wu Begging's attitude is more resolute, and after two correspondence between Song Bingchen and Jin Guo, although Song Bingchen didn't release the cruel words of resigning the contract without giving a head, he also began to learn to ask to meet Emperor Song in person, hoping to negotiate on the redemption.
Of course, Huang Jie's head is still one of the important options, but the amount of money and good iron purchased has begun to slowly increase, and it has also slowly loosened his mouth, allowing the Great Song Dynasty to pay a part of the money and good iron in the form of "year coins" first, and Jin Jun also ordered a small amount of land and cities to be returned according to the amount paid.
Seeing that the Jin State actually made such concessions, and also knew that now Yelu Chun's Western Liao, Yelu Aolu's Northern Liao, and Xiao Gan's Dongxi were about to move, and under the situation of constantly exerting pressure on the Jin army, the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were naturally not in a hurry.
Even at the court meeting on the first day of the ninth lunar month, when Song Bingchen once again put forward the request that he hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would pay part of the "New Year's coin" first to show his sincerity, Wang Hao directly opened his mouth and proposed to directly exchange 500,000 yuan of money for the city of Xijin Mansion, who knew that Song Bingchen actually agreed after thinking for a while!
