After a long journey of more than a month, the eight Shangbang envoys sent by Wanyan Wushu finally arrived at Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture, the former capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

This city with the largest area, the largest population, and the most economically developed city in the Song region was still the occupied area of the Jin soldiers a few months ago; The Jin people are the masters of the city, and they can give what they want here; Even the city's new emperor, Zhang Bangchang, was conferred by the Jin people.

Along the way, the members of the pro-embassy of the Jin Kingdom were straight and proud.

However, when these eight diplomats of the Jin Kingdom came to the Nanxun Gate of Bianliang City, they were about to order the soldiers at the gate of the city to pass the word on their behalf, but the officers defending the city called a patrol and directly detained the eight Jin people and escorted them all to the prisoner of war camp in the city.

This diplomatic mission of the Jin State may have been the most tragic foreign mission in the entire history of the Song Dynasty.

Due to the perennial weakness of the military strength of the Song Dynasty and the repeated bullying by foreigners, every time a foreign delegation arrives, whether it is the former mission of the Great Liao State and the Western Xia Kingdom, or the Jin State delegation that has only emerged in recent years, all of them are hospitalized by the Great Song Dynasty.

All kinds of treasures, gifts, and royal rewards are extremely rich.

Over time, the envoy to the Great Song Dynasty became a privilege, and the members of the envoy to the Song Dynasty were all members of the royal family of various foreign clans, or descendants of powerful ministers in the court.

The Jin delegation that came to Bianliang City to inquire about the situation this time was no exception; The members of the mission are all young talents of the Wanyan family, the future of the Jin country.

It's a pity that these eight juniors who have completed the Yan Wushu. Until the young head is cut off. was unable to meet Si Zongze, who stayed in Kaifeng Mansion. Not to mention any oil and water

After more than a month, the news that the Jin delegation was escorted to the prisoner of war camp was sent to Wanyan Wushu by a fast horse.

He didn't even dare to report it to the gold lord Wu Qimai Zhiludao, and after finishing his Yan Wushu, he gave an order to his personal guard, Su Shi Lie Zhining, and led 10,000 elite soldiers from his headquarters to Kaifeng Mansion.

Wanyan Wushu does not require Su Shi Lie Zhining to have any great merit, as long as he forces the guards in Bianliang City and releases the eight juniors in the family back.

According to the estimation of the brothers of Wanyan Wushu. This little request, the Song people should not refuse.

Since the Song Dynasty claims to be a state of etiquette. The Song Dynasty should have abided by the ancient tradition of "the two countries are at war and do not kill each other".

Because they sent troops privately, the brothers of the Wanyan family paid a lot of money, and even accompanied a lot of the loot they robbed in Bianliang City last time.

However, completely out of Yan Wushu's expectations, this 10,000 Jin State cavalry, instead of causing any pressure on Bianliang City, solved a big problem for Si Zongze left behind in Kaifeng Mansion

Yes, the old handsome Zong Ze is now in big trouble.

It's just too much of a problem. even made the old handsome Zong Ze anxious and sleepless for a long night.

It's a big hassle. It's also very simple: in a word, Kaifeng Mansion has no money.

In the past, the number of officers and soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture was insufficient, and military spending was relatively easy to solve; But now that a large number of rebels have been recruited at once, the daily military expenditure has become the most headache for Zong Ze.

The number of rebels such as Wang Shan and Yang Jin is known as a million army to the outside world, but in fact there are only about 200,000 horses, and there is a lot of water in it.

Even so, in the current fragile economic environment of Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture, it is really unaffordable.

Also, now that the city defense system of Bianliang City has been completely paralyzed, Zong Ze needs to raise a large amount of money to repair the city, add defensive equipment, and so on.

All of this requires money, lots and lots of copper coins.

Although Zong Ze had already written to Nanjing Yingtianfu to ask Emperor Gaozong for food; And Emperor Gaozong replied very simply: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, everything was tight, and Aiqing was expedient. ”

What do you mean by "expediency"?

In layman's terms, it is "what do you like, don't bother me!" ”

The big spear Wang Shan and the hornless Niu Yang Jin, the big leaders of the rebel army, were also very depressed.

As the old saying goes, "The emperor is not a hungry soldier." ”

The leaders also thought that if they accepted the court's recruitment, even if they didn't have big fish and meat, they would at least be able to pay their salaries on time every month and live a stable life.

Unexpectedly, except for the first month's salary, Zong Ze never gave them a penny, but just let them cook separately for the time being.

After being the owner of the village for a period of time, Wang Shan and Yang Jin certainly had some private money, but it was not always a way to sit and eat empty; What's more, when you come to take refuge in your Zongze, you already have your own people and weapons, and you have to pay for your own food, which is unjustifiable no matter what.

Wang Shan, Yang Jin, Wang Zaixing and other leaders went to Zong Ze Theory several times, and as soon as they saw Yue Fei and Niu Gao and others beside Zong Ze, they swallowed back the words that came to their mouths.

As a last resort, Wang Shan and the others didn't dare to provoke Yue Fei's brothers.

What kind of world is this, who is the robber?

This problem, even Wang Shan, a giant in Hedong, was confused

Although the old handsome Zong Ze has a tough attitude on the surface, he is very anxious in his heart.

This situation can be maintained in a short period of time; After a long time, this hard-working team may fall apart at any time.

However, "money" is not a good thing that you can solve if you want to. Sometimes, a penny can stump a hero, let alone such a large expense?

At this critical moment, Jin Bing came again

"The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind", this was the first reaction of the old marshal Zongze after hearing the news reported by the spies.

How can you fight a war without money!

There is no money, not only whether the soldiers can eat enough, but also whether they have the strength to kill the enemy

If there is no money, there is no way to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and there is no way to win battles, which is a very real problem.

Therefore, there is a cloud in the art of war: the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

The consistent copper coins hung there, and the soldiers looked at it comfortably, and they were more motivated to fight.

Especially for a member of the national establishment like Zong Ze, who was born in a professional class, it is impossible to know how to fight a battle without money?

However, the old marshal Zongze did not worry this time, because he had a verbal agreement with Yue Fei, he was responsible for the internal worries, and Yue Fei was responsible for the external troubles.

Seeing the hot eyes of the old handsome Zong Ze looking at him, Yue Fei's heart was a little numb; After hesitating for a moment, Yue Fei plucked up his courage, stepped forward, leaned over to Zong Ze's ear, and said like this, then took two steps back, waiting for Zong Ze's decision.

Yue Fei thought that the old handsome Zong Ze would have some concerns, but after listening to Yue Fei's words, Zong Ze smiled and said: "Young people dare to think and dare to do, very good, just let it go, I will take care of everything." “。 (To be continued......)
