Emperor Jin didn't know that under his nose, there was something that he was very concerned about was quietly happening, and it had already attracted the attention of the Qin State.

He had heard about the caravan on the border, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but just made an official statement of peace, hoping that the Qin State would give priority to the hard-won peace between the two countries.

This statement was naturally taken as a joke by Ying Hei. At the same time, he also firmly believed that the clues of the jade seal would appear in the caravan.

To be able to make such a brazen statement, it is really naïve to want to blur the line of sight, and it wants to cover up

Emperor Jin did not pay attention to the western trade routes, but only the northwest.

There is no doubt that trade between the two countries - the Jin Emperor preferred to refer to it as the trade between the two countries rather than simply the Northwest - could bring benefits to both sides, and this benefit was more practical and in line with the needs of the Jin than that obtained by the Xianbei.

After all, the circulation of bulk commodities has been proven to be an effective way to stimulate economic recovery since the time of Wang Jianghuai.

After the Jin State acquired Jiangnan County, it rarely deliberately restricted the development of commerce in order to increase grain production.

The rapid development of the handicraft economy allowed the Jin kingdom to recover quickly after last year's armistice, and it is still thriving today.

Emperor Jin knew the benefits of trade between the two countries, but in his heart he did not want the northwest to take the lead. And in order to ensure the combat strength of the Northwest Army, he had to compromise.

This is what Xie Shence understands, and the northwest also understands.

In June, a letter came from Xianbei that the Heqin mission was about to return home.

In addition to the great joy, the courtiers naturally also noticed some details. For example, the dowry has increased so much out of thin air, and some of the trade treaties between the two countries have also been amended.

Of course, how can it be possible to marry a daughter and not get some benefits?

While some people laughed at Tuoba Rui's childish spirit, they couldn't help but sigh at the wind of the country. Showing generosity to the people is tantamount to showing national strength.

Even Emperor Jin didn't say much about it. The dowry has more than doubled, and the craftsmen and technicians come to the dynasty to learn, which is nothing for the Great Jin Kingdom, which is rich in land and resources, and has outstanding people.

Only thank Shence and smile bitterly.

It's really a group of sour scholars who are obsessed with the dream of the heavenly kingdom.

With the Xianbei people, the most tangible benefit they reaped was not the dowry, not even trade, but technology.

Can the dowry be converted by cattle and sheep, but the cattle and sheep of the Xianbei people have not increased every year?

To expand trade, couldn't the Xianbei people use the silk of the Jin Kingdom before? Can't the Jin people wear the fur of the Xianbei people?

Calling ministers and showing peace, didn't the Xianbei people have ever been before?

-- None of that is the point.

The focus is on the humble craftsman to learn from the dynasty.

Similar to between the Huns and Hans, the technology of the Jin Kingdom could crush Xianbei. Even the Yan State, which was highly sinicized and modeled on the Han dynasty to establish an independent state, could not take advantage of it at the technical level, which can be seen from the Yan and Jin Wars of that year. However, even the Yan Kingdom, which has advanced by leaps and bounds in technology, can only be regarded as backward.

Of course, we don't need to delve into this, after all, there is an element of thanksgiving in it.

There is no term in the world of science and technology, and the most tangible value of its value is in the army. And the maximization of its value is also in the military.

The Jin Kingdom was a powerful siege machine that was ahead of all countries. Or the Song State can be comparable, but after all, the Song State's military strength is really weak. It may not be able to do its job.

It's a bit far

The Xianbei people are an extremely barren country at the technical level, as long as they can obtain technology from the Central Plains Dynasty, then they can in turn use these technologies to attack the Jin Kingdom.

Similar things are not uncommon, just at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, the Huns, who had been beaten and dying, took advantage of the chaos to take away many young craftsmen in Qingzhou and Jizhou, and then recuperate and recuperate, and in the first hundred years of the Great Chu Dynasty, they also frequently made rebellions.

Harmony is a foregone conclusion, and in such a situation, Xie Shence will naturally not touch everyone's brows and make irresponsible remarks on the treaty.

Emperor Jin will not agree, the ministers will not agree, not only will they not agree, but they will take the opportunity to attack Xie Shence's small strength, and some people will even take out the matter of Xie Shence's failure to make Xianbei before.

However, Xie Shence does not say anything, it does not mean that the military will not say it.

Xie Yi was furious in the morning three days later, and scolded Lin Lingsi for being a bastard, Sima Yu was cowardly and should not have agreed to the craftsman.

Xie Yi's anger caused almost everyone to resist, and even some people from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Engineering had a quarrel with him on the spot. Xie Yi was about to beat someone in the court, but was finally stopped. Emperor Jin was very faceless.

Because Xie Yi scolded Lin Lingsi and Sima Yu, he was still scolding Emperor Jin in the end.

The envoy promised something, and Emperor Jin didn't say anything, but celebrated with the ministers, so Xie Yi slapped the mission in the face, which was a slap in the face of Emperor Jin.

The court meeting broke up unhappily.

The matter did not end there, and the general anger of the military made many people feel troubled, that is, the northern army wrote letters to question.

Of course, the object of Sima Bi's questioning will not be Sima Yu.

Xie Shence approached Xie Yi once because of this incident, to the effect that he wanted him to keep a low profile, but Xie Yi insisted on going his own way, as long as he saw someone who was not pleasing to the eye, no matter the occasion, he would inevitably be scolded.

Because of Xie Yi's nonsense and perseverance, this matter lasted for a long time.

Finally, at the end of June, a letter of resignation broke out the contradictions between the two sides.

At the court meeting at the end of June, a plan for the reduction of the Northwest Army was clearly put forward in a joint letter signed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of Industry.

The capital of Jin was then plunged into turmoil

"Brute! Lao Tzu wants to kill them! Kill them all! ungrateful, rabbits and dogs are cooked, and birds are hidden"

Xie Yi roared loudly in the study, and from time to time he could hear the sound of blades cutting through wooden tables and chairs.

The eldest aunt stood outside the study, her face worried. Even Xie Shang, who didn't frown much, tightly twisted the tips of his eyebrows.

Xie Shence kept his face calm and listened to the sound silently.

The day finally came.

At the beginning of the first month, several old army leaders said that the possibility of the imperial court splitting the Northwest Army finally became a reality at this time, and it was put on the agenda.

Xie Shence understands Xie Yi very well, just as Xie Yi understands those old military leaders.

In that report, some people recounted the history of the Northwest Army in complete detail, and then asked the imperial court to select people from the Northwest Army to re-establish the Western Army according to the structure of the Western Army, which had been abolished more than 20 years ago.

This is tantamount to dismantling half of the existing skeleton of the Northwest Army, then moving it south, and finally merging with the Luoyang Prefecture soldiers to form the new Western Army.

The Northwest Army, on the other hand, is only half of the original.

For the old man who has been accustomed to the Northwest Army for 20 years, there are no more disputes within the Northwest Army, and then there are mountains, but it is also the Northwest Army. There is friction and exclusion between them, and that is also a matter for the Northwest Army. Not an outsider.

Tiemenguan is northwest, Huangsha and copper furnace are northwest, Fuzhen and Jingzhen are northwest, and Heishui and Yangdu are also northwest. The county is northwest, the county of Heiyuan is also northwest, and the county of Hetao is even more northwest.

And the people in these passes and on the land are all from the Northwest, and the soldiers are all called the Northwest Army. Both the old Northwest and the new Northwest.

People are accustomed to issuing military orders and government orders from the Iron Gate Pass, people are accustomed to the transfer envoy without observation, people are accustomed to the Xie Zi Shuai Qi can represent everything, and people are used to the throat-cutting knives and fierce women and fierce horses in the northwest.

The northwest is the effort of the imperial court, rather the effort of Xie Yi.

From the construction of the city, immigration, water conservancy, tuntian, and transportation to the northwest, which can now have nearly one million households, Xie Yi has exhausted his efforts.

In the first ten years of the Northwest Army, although Xie Yi was a remote leader, he lived in Tiemen Pass for nine months a year.

The northwest is the northwest of the Northwest people, that is, the northwest of Xie Yi.

From a baby to an adult today, Northwest was brought up by him.

Without a son, the northwest is Xie Yi's son, and the soldiers, blacksmiths, and farmers in the northwest are his sons.

And now his son will be divided in two.

Xie Yi naturally did not agree.

The entire Northwest Army also did not agree.

The shouting and scolding in the study gradually decreased until it disappeared, and finally there was a snoring.

Xie Shence and Xie Yi gently opened the door, and then carried the drunk Xie Yi out.

Xie Yi has been like this for many days, and this is not the first time the father and son have done this.

After settling down and thanking for the clothes, the father and son left the Shuai Mansion.

"The Northwest Army cannot be cut."

"I know my father."

"How sure is that to stop that?"

"I'm not sure."

Xie Shence opened the window of the carriage and said, "Your Majesty is bent on going his own way, who can stop it?" ”

"Hehe, dividing one side, not respecting the king's order, and having a strong enemy in the west are just excuses. How can those people have this ability? How can you have the audacity to say such a thing? To be able to unite so many officials all of a sudden, write such a detailed recital, and make such a big noise...... Sure enough, it is worthy of Your Majesty. ”

"Only he can do it, only he can make Tiqi not even notice. He is the only one who can face the uncle's endless anger and be at ease. Because only he knows the uncle best. ”

"He wants to take back the military power, I understand! But he can't cut the Northwest Army! He can build another Western Army, restructure the Luoyang Mansion Army, or transfer the Northwest Army to the south, but he just shouldn't cut the Northwest Army! ”

"That's the uncle's hard work, and it's chilling to do this."

"I used to think that some people would bring it up and cause some trouble. In this case, although it is what he wants to do, we can accept it, after all, he can find an excuse for himself if he didn't bring it up, right? ”

"Uncle can hand over the military power, be an idle rich man, walk the dog and drink with the title of Zhuguo, scold Sima Bi, and respond to Lin Lingsi, all of which are good."

He knew that the uncle was willing to hand over the military power, as long as he could say it, the uncle could hand it over, but he chose such a way. Oh, it's too explicit, and it's too ugly. ”

Xie Shence leaned against the wall of the car, looked at the frolicking children running outside the window, looked at the merchant carrying the burden, and looked at the idle work without guests coming to the door, and sighed.

Xie Shang looked at the youngest son who had been fostered in Huaiyang Road since he was a child, and also sighed.
