Yan Po and Wu Xuanming welcomed out of Wuya City together.

In September, the sky in Liaodong began to become gloomy.

However, both of them had smiles on their faces, as if spring had descended on this black land in advance.

Many people came from outside the city, and at the same time many things were brought with them.

It was Song Jiu who came, and the reason why Zhao Kuangyi let Song Jiu sentence Dengzhou was all a pretense, and the real intention was to let Song Jiu go to Liaodong to assist Wu Xuanming.

Who would have thought.

Of course, the truth is only known to a few people, and it is kept secret from the outside world.

The two politely welcomed Song Jiu to the city, and with him came Gao Qiong, Yang Yanyu, Yang Yanzhao, as well as more than a dozen academy students, and more than 100 guards of the forbidden army.

They also came with rich gifts, a large number of weapons, and some farm tools.

After entering the city, several important people sat down.

The Khitan used the army for Youyun, which made Song Jiu's trip very safe, and he arrived at Wuya City without danger. Along the way, Song Jiu learned the local language, which was definitely not the language of the Song Dynasty, nor Mandarin, so I don't know if Lu Dao was later Manchu, but it was somewhat like the pronunciation of Mandarin.

Song Jiu wasn't very familiar with it yet, so everyone spoke very slowly when they communicated.

Wu Xuanming gave a deep salute and said, "I really didn't expect the imperial court to let Duke Song come to us. ”

It stands to reason that this is a backward country, because Song Jiu proposed, there began to be contacts, Wu Xuanming sent an envoy to the capital as early as last year, and heard some information about the Song Dynasty. I also know the status of Song Jiu in the Song Dynasty.

Song Jiu came in person, which flattered Wu Xuanming.

Actually, they are not strong. The lack of self-confidence, coupled with the fact that the Song dynasty provided them with a lot of support. If it is replaced by a perfect face, it will not be regarded as a thing at all.

Song Jiu's face was calm, but he said in his heart, It is a good start, it is also an unknown, and God knows what these Jurchens will think. Now it seems that they still receive this love, so it will be easy to do.

Therefore, he said slowly: "King, I am here. The main purpose is to assist the king and General Yan to make your country stronger and restore the glory of the former Bohai State. ”

"Thank you, Gong Zheng."

"No thanks, I'll give you a few ideas, and you'll see if you can accept them. To be strong, the first is the situation. Now that the Khitan and our dynasty are at war, the center of gravity is all in Yanyun, and the troops are also in the Yanyun area, and the rear troops are few, which gives you a chance to rise. If this time is wasted. You will be enslaved by the Khitans forever. ”

"Has your country won a great victory?" Yan Po asked.

"I used troops for only a few months, took Taiyuan, and then attacked Youzhou, but I used troops for a long time. The soldiers were tired, and His Majesty was merciful, so he retreated. But don't worry. I am not interested in the Northeast, only the Yanyun region. ”

"That's good."

"But you want to seize the moment. You have to do it step by step, first of all, you look at the two guys. If you get beaten, who wins? "The two guards in front of Song Jiuzhi Courtyard, one is tall and strong, and the other is a little thinner.

The results go without saying. Song Jiu said again: "But if that thin man is three people, who wins?" ”

"This is the first piece of advice I offer, for the time being, don't set your eyes on the south, but you can't be satisfied with the current situation, your strength is too poor at the moment, once the Khitan relaxes its breath, your Wushe country will be destroyed. So you have to be in the northeast and the north. ”

That is, the Five Kingdoms Department and the Wanyan Department near Huanglong Mansion and other Jurchen tribes.

"The large number of elite weapons provided by our court, your strength is far superior to theirs, but you can't blindly attack, or co-opt, or attack, and take advantage of the Khitan's lack of attention to you, unify this area and strengthen your strength. But this also has to be divided into sequences, first to unite with the stable state of Wuzhaodu (now Olga, Primorsky Krai, Russia), and then jointly deal with the northeast, and the northern foot of the Changbai Mountain, where the Khitan will not pay too much attention, after annexing them, the strength will be further strengthened, and one thing must be done, to pay tribute to the Khitan, confuse them, and at the same time deal with the various departments near Huanglongfu and Tie Li. ”

"Ministers?"

"It is an illusion to be a vassal, and this is to buy you time to annex the other ministries. Once these tribes have been united and strengthened, there is no need to be vassals anymore, and then you will have to raise the righteousness. ”

"Righteousness?" Yan Po and Wu Xuanming didn't know what it was supposed to do.

"It's the right name, you have to establish a country and be the king, so that you can have greater appeal, and then play the banner, expel the Khitan, return my Bohai, and occupy the entire Liaodong."

Yan Wu and the others pondered.

"That's the strategy I offer, and the training. The strength of our soldiers is not as good as your Bohai warriors, why do you have the upper hand when you fight with the Khitan," Song Jiu was bragging, which was also giving them confidence: "Not only the strength factor, but also the war between our dynasty and the Khitan, many times with less to win more." The reasons for this are the command ability of the generals, and the command ability of the generals, and the fact that the army is well-trained, has strict military discipline, and has clear rewards and punishments. I have brought with me a few generals and more than a hundred guards, who will train your clan warriors and make them stronger. ”

"Okay." Yan Po said.

He is a former Khitan general and knows more about military affairs.

"The third is the system, without the system, there is no circle. I offer you a system, a system of alliance of various ministries, as long as you are in favor of restoring the glory of the Bohai Kingdom, the leaders of the large tribes can worship as kings, and the heads of small and medium-sized tribes can worship as public officials, and give them the right to deliberate, and at the same time, you will use some of the weapons and support provided by our dynasty to reward them, so that you can win over and make you unified. But there is one point, once the troops are used, they must take the initiative to send troops in order to compete with the Khitan. ”

To have a mature system, more details are needed. This must be done slowly, what Song Jiu is talking about is just a rough idea.

"The fourth is economy and production, you have many valuable products, such as fur and medicinal materials, etc., I will bring you some support, and transport them to our court, in exchange for the things you need. At the same time, there is also farming, although there is only one harvest in the northeast, but it is all fertile black soil. Spring wheat and bean millet can be grown. It's just that your planting methods are too backward, and now I'm bringing some people. They will teach your people to plant, and in the future they will spread this advanced way of farming, so that more people will be fed, and there will be no worries about the supply of food and grass in times of war. As long as you accept these four points, then a powerful Bohai State will stand. ”

This was Song Jiu's inspiration in Zhuozhou City.

Jereux was seriously injured and didn't want to get better these months.

However, that Xiao Yanyan is an extremely competitive woman, and once Youzhou recovers a little, she will inevitably take revenge on the Song Dynasty. Without Yeluxiugo, the other generals. Song Jiu may not be in his eyes.

In his conversation with Zhao Kuangyi, he also repeatedly reminded Zhao Kuangyi to attach importance to this Yelu Huge.

It was a character with a level of wickedness comparable to Han Shin.

As long as the Khitan retaliates, it may fail, and the Khitan will inevitably reinstate Yelu Huge. This delay will take more than a year.

At this time, with the support of the imperial court and the guidance of Song Jiu, the Wushe Kingdom was enough to extend the scope of its strength to the vicinity of Huanglong Mansion, and even annexed the rear Anding State and other places one by one.

At the same time, the relevant system was established. Even the advanced farming methods were gradually promoted, and at that time, the Khitan was awakened, and the Ushe Kingdom had long been overcome.

Leave it alone, and the Usher Congress will go south. The whole of Liaodong will be lost. If it is managed, it will at least contain more than 100,000 Khitan troops.

Coupled with the fact that the Song Dynasty was sandwiched in the south, it would become a deadly poison for the Khitan.

Just trying to make it happen. Song Jiu may have to spend more than two years in the bitterly cold Liaodong. So Zhao Kuangyi was full of emotion.

There are good and bad sides to the development of facts.

At the suggestion of Song Jiu. The kingdom of Usher slowly became the king and accumulated grain. Surrender to the Khitan. At that time, the Khitan was in full swing with the Song Dynasty, and after receiving the news, coupled with the bitter cold in the northeast, the Khitan did not pay much attention to it, so they happily accepted their submission, and named Wu Xuanming as the Taishi, and expressed silence on Wu Xuanming's expansion.

Moreover, the so-called system formulated by Song Jiu is very deceptive.

All kinds of benefits were mentioned, but there was only one article, everyone had to help send troops, but the income from the troops was shared by everyone, and no taxes were mentioned. For a country to be established, it must have a complete tax system, otherwise it is difficult for the country to develop.

However, Song Jiu really wanted the Jurchens to establish a Dajin State in Liaodong in advance?

In addition, with the support of the Song Dynasty, the power of the Usher state became stronger and stronger, and many tribes expressed their submission.

The speed of expansion almost exceeded Song Jiu's expectations.

The bad side was the so-called Stable Kingdom, which was deep in Liaodong, close to what would later be the Sea of Japan. It was also very backward, and after expelling a small number of Khitan officers and soldiers, they did not have the concept of losing their lips and teeth, so they did not agree to the unity of the two countries.

It was not until the autumn of the second year that the strength of the Ushe State was further strengthened, and after the defeat of the Anding State with troops in the east, Uzhaodu expressed his submission. However, he had little influence, and he was also far away from the Five Kingdoms Department in the northeast, but at that time, Song Jiu unexpectedly discovered that there was a good harbor in Andingguo, and he didn't know that this was the later Olga Bay.

That is, from then on, the Song Dynasty wanted to provide supplies and weapons, and did not need to go through the Yalu River route, but directly transported supplies from sea ships to this harbor, and directly from the rear could reach the country of Wushe, thus avoiding many risks.

……

Song Jiu went to the Northeast, and this news was kept strictly confidential.

Even Pan Mei didn't know what to do, which caused Pan Mei to think crankily at home, and His Majesty was really a very narrow-minded person.

In fact, from this time on, Zhao Kuangyi paid more and more attention to Song Jiu.

Song Jiu was a loyal minister, but what about some of the others?

History, because of sympathy, often ignores the incident that happened in the city of Zhuozhou.

Shi Shouxin and they wanted to support Zhao Dezhao, which also happened in the Ming Dynasty, but how long was Ming Yingzong captured by the Tatars at that time? The country has been without a monarch for several months, and Yu Qian and others supported Ming Dynasty Zong to be the emperor.

In the battle of the Gaoliang River, Zhao Kuangyi only disappeared for two days, and his whereabouts were still unknown, so Shi Shouxin and others wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, and they were ready to support Zhao Dezhao.

Zhao Kuangyi couldn't open his mouth, after all, this premise was that he ran away shamelessly, resulting in his whereabouts unknown. But what did he think deep down?

The first led to the tragedy of the Zhao Dezhao brothers.

The second caused Zhao Kuangyi to be more suspicious.

The third caused Zhao Kuangyi to be even more uneasy about these generals.

So at that time, Song Jiu sighed in addition to stopping it in time.

Returning to the capital, Zhao Kuangyi issued three edicts, first with a letter to order Xijing to stay in Shi Shouxin to conquer Fanyang, supervise the former army to lose discipline, and give Chongxin Jie Du envoy and Zhongshu order. It is still the Zhongshu Order and the Jie Du Envoy, but at this time, the Jie Du Envoy has all become a virtual position, and the most important one is that Luoyang stayed behind and took it out.

Shi Shou has a number of confidences, and compared to the result of this punishment, it can be regarded as a good one, and he is grateful to his relatives.

Then Duan Sigong, who was the supervisor, because he used official money to make utensils in Qinzhou, and in vain in the name of worship, bought tamarin fur and tiger skins from the people, which was issued by Wang Yanfan and demoted to a young eunuch in Shaofu. Duan Sigong made many mistakes in office one after another because he did not learn and did not know how to do it, but he was a good official, and many officials reported by Wang Yanfan were making these two similar mistakes, but because Zhao Kuangyi was angry and angry, he was demoted.

This has nothing to do with Zhuozhou.

Then the third edict was issued. Liu Yu was instructed to observe the Suzhou envoy, and Shi Qi was instructed to teach the Wuding marching army to Sima in Guangzhou, all of whom sat in the expedition to Fanyang, and the soldiers were amused and undisciplined.

What is the dereliction of duty of Shi Liu Shi and the three of them, who is as fast as Zhao Kuangyi? Of course, the real reason is unspeakable.

Only one person was rewarded.

With Yang Ye as the observer envoy of Zhengzhou, and then let Pan Mei deploy for the three crossings of Hedong to prevent the Khitan invasion.

Then Zhao Dezhao spoke. (To be continued......)
