Chinese New Year's Eve is coming.

Yelu Longxu has no choice, he is not a fool, what Zhao Heng says about his subordinates, what is the fate of the whole clan, he may not be able to take it seriously, but this is for him to step down.

But if you don't descend, you will wait for death.

It is believed that once twilight comes, the Song army will inevitably launch a general offensive in all directions in order to make the New Year auspicious. With this little bit of soldiers and horses, he has long been angry with the three armies, and he is frustrated up and down, how to fight, and even if he fights back, he is also killed by his younger brother.

So he sent Xiao Tzu Rin to the Song army camp to ask for surrender.

Ninety percent of the soldiers still hated the Liao State, including Song Jiu. You have to take into account the overall situation, the way of governance, and use both grace and power, and the power is enough, if it is not for the Song Dynasty's intention to release, the Liao soldiers who may be able to escape back will not exceed 5,000 people. All 300,000 people were gone at once.

Therefore, we should also take care of grace.

For what Li Shimin adopted the two khans of Jieli, not only to restrain Li Jing and other heroes, but also to appease the hearts of the Turkic people in the north with them. So he gave Yelu Longxu Liaoguo Taibao and Kaifu Yi with the three divisions and the same level of the chapter, and then gave the court not to worship. It's the emperor of a big country.

Enough face.

And personally asked Yelu Longxu what he meant, Xiao Yanyan died, and the body was properly kept in the Song Dynasty, whether it was sent to the imperial mausoleum of Liao for burial, or buried in Gong County.

Yelu Longxu thought for a long time, and then said sadly: "Send it to Shangjing." ”

But it is estimated that the name of Shangjing will also be changed.

Begin to be surrendered.

After the reorganization of the Liao army and the surrender of troops, some important generals and officials of the Liao State were rewarded for their idle positions, and their official positions were very high, but they were not bad jobs. Probably will use it in the future. But they won't be used right now. However, he killed Xiao Tzu Rin, the culprit of this invasion, who not only did many sins in the Battle of Wangdu. It is also the main demagogue of this invasion.

Then the three armies cheered and celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve here.

Of course, it is not as lively as Kaifeng Chinese New Year's Eve. However, the news spread, and the entire Song Dynasty was almost crazy with joy.

It is said that after the news was delivered to the capital on the second day of the first lunar month, the entire capital fell into a sea of cheers, and many people were happy to get drunk that day.

However, the army could not be delayed.

As the grain and grass gradually arrived, the Song army divided into several routes and officially started the battle to recover Yanyun.

The slogans were large, but the scale of the battles was small.

If Xiao Yanyan was still there, if there was no fiasco for this fiasco, the Liao State would still be able to gather 300,000 soldiers and horses.

However, Xiao Yanyan was gone. Defeated so badly. Most of them belong to the direct army of the Liao State, where to summon so many troops. can be summoned, but it is not a descendant, forcibly summoned from other tribes, and the cadres are weak and strong, will worse things happen?

Of course, the army must be recruited, but it must be dominated by Khitan and Xi people, but how many can be recruited is a question mark. How long it takes is a question mark. Therefore, after Yelu Longqing quickly ascended the throne, he immediately issued an edict to withdraw Yanyun's army and try to keep the people and wealth as much as possible. and the officials withdrew. Leave a part of the officers and soldiers to resist and buy time for the great retreat.

It was not Yelu Longqing who heard Xiao Guanyinnu's suggestion, but the situation forced it. Not only 300,000 soldiers. Many horses were also lost behind the mountain. The Liao State fell into the pit, and the Song army quickly moved north. Soon the army was in the city.

The Liao State did not have enough troops to contend with it. Even if Jeruhügo was alive, he would not be able to save the situation.

Only to withdraw the army from Yanyun. It is better to concentrate forces to contend with the upcoming army of the Song Dynasty.

However, Yelu Longqing is the same thing, it is to give up the fourteen states of Yanyun, Youzhou is Beijing, Shunzhou is Beijing Shunyi, Confucianism is Beijing Yanqing, Danzhou is Beijing Miyun, Jizhou is Tianjin Jixian, Zhuozhou is Zhuozhou, Yingzhou is Hebei Hejian, Mozhou is Hebei Renqiu, Xinzhou is Hebei Zhuolu, Yanzhou is Hebei Huailai, Wuzhou is Hebei Xuanhua, Ulzhou is Wei County, Yingzhou is Ying County, Huanzhou Shuozhou East, Shuozhou, Yunzhou is Datong. Nowadays, some states have changed their names and some have been annexed. They are basically all within the Great Wall.

However, there is still a large area within the Great Wall, and there is a vast area to the east of Jizhou and Danzhou, that is, the southern area of Qinhuangdao and the Tangshan area. The Tang Dynasty was called Pingzhou, but before Shi Jingtang ceded the fourteen states of Yanyun, the Liao State had already obtained Pingzhou a few years ago, as well as Zunhua County in the north of Jizhou, and later the Liao State renamed Zunhua County as Jingzhou, Pingzhou was all three, named Pingzhou, Yingzhou and Luanzhou, had nothing to do with that cession, but it was also lost in the hands of Shi Jingtang.

Therefore, Yelu Longqing had the idea of luck, which was equivalent to a tacit understanding to give up the fourteen states of Yanyun, but did not give up Jingzhou, Pingzhou, Yingzhou and Luanzhou. Didn't your Song Dynasty fight for the fourteen states of Yanyun, what do you want if I give it to you?

The Liao State intended to let it, and the Song Dynasty took it in great strides, but when it arrived in Jingzhou, the Song army automatically stopped. However, the Song Dynasty did something that made Yelu Longqing very worried, in addition to taking down the fourteen states of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty also deliberately took over the vast areas outside the Great Wall of Yunneizhou, central and southern Fengzhou, Dezhou and Dongshengzhou, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to change Dezhou to Xuandezhou, Yunzhou to Jiuyuan, and Fengzhou to Yunzhong.

This reminded him of an ancient map of the Qin Dynasty.

The ancient trunk line of the ancient Great Wall is the northern boundary line of the fourteen states of Yanyun today, and there are also some inner Great Walls, such as the ancient Great Wall in Shuozhou, the ancient Great Wall in the Taihang Mountain area, some were built in the Warring States Period, and some were expanded by the Qin Dynasty, but since the Warring States Period, there is an ancient Great Wall that has been forgotten. That is the Great Wall of North Zhao and the Great Wall of Yan, the Great Wall of North Zhao covers the entire Yinshan area, built in the north of Yinshan, shrouded all Yinshan together, and also took a few nice names in these areas in the north of Yunshuo, the westernmost is Xi'anyang, to the east is Jiuyuan, Yuanyang, Yunzhong, Yuanyang, Wuquan and so on. That is, these Yunzhong regions that the Song Dynasty has now taken.

The other Great Wall is even more disgusting, that is the Yan Great Wall, which connects the Great Wall of Northern Zhao and winds all the way to the northeast, covering the entire Luan River Basin, the middle and lower reaches of the Liao River, all the way through the Yalu River, close to Goryeo Pyongyang before stopping, including the entire Zhongjing region of Liao, as well as Tokyo, Shenzhou and Liaodong Peninsula in eastern Liao, and the northernmost to Tongzhou occupied by Wu Xuanming.

The Great Wall was rebuilt in the Qin Dynasty, and Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Liaoxi County and Liaodong County were set up. Then Liu Bang was humiliated by the Xiongnu, and this ancient Great Wall was gradually destroyed by the Xiongnu, and it was not rebuilt again.

Could it be that the Song Dynasty had such a big appetite. If you get the sixteen states of Yanyun, you still have to restore the northern boundary territory of the Qin Dynasty?

The Song Dynasty had a big appetite. Yelu Longqing couldn't tell.

This sad ghost is very sad in history, but at this time, I am afraid that he will still be sad.

Song Jun stopped for a moment.

The first is the construction of Tianjin Port. Set up a city division.

At the entrance of the Juma River, there is a bad place, that is, the water and soil in Hebei are gradually deteriorating at this time, so there is a lot of silt in the estuary, which leads to the extreme inconvenience of large sea ships. But it is also advantageous to build a port here, which can be connected to the Hebei region from various rivers, and can communicate with many areas of Youzhou through rivers such as the Sanggan River. If the finance can, the Yongqu of the Sui Dynasty will be completed again. Then Youzhou can be reconnected with Jiangnan.

There will be a seaport, there will be a city, and soon the economy here will prosper.

But this proposal was still opposed by many ministers, it was too close to the Hu people, and the people of Youzhou still remembered the benefits of the Liao country.

Song Jiu sneered: "Do you still want the Liao Kingdom to exist?" ”

"Are you still cowardly with such a big victory?"

A big cowardly hat was buttoned down, and the crows were silent.

As the spring blossoms, a large number of supplies are brought in from all over the country by sea ships. The Song Dynasty began to rebuild the city of Youzhou.

Zhao Heng was busy meeting with various elders and comforting the people.

It's a show. Moreover, it was the emperor himself who put on a show. At the same time, the tax policy of the Song Dynasty was clarified, compared with the tax of the Liao State, it depends on how you look at it, and the tax is almost heavy. Even the Song Dynasty was a little heavier. However, the tax distribution of the Song Dynasty was relatively even, and the Liao State was still under the influence of the Tang Dynasty, and the taxes of the nobles were very low. There are not even taxes, and civilians are the most miserable.

Yelu Longqing withdrew many dignitaries. On the contrary, it brought convenience to the reconstruction of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the Yanyun region was still the tribal system of the Tang Dynasty, and fled with these heroes. The trilogy system was abolished.

He also abolished some discriminatory laws, promoted education, and even issued an edict that the entire Yanyun area would be exempted from two taxes for three years, and the relevant laws would be implemented as appropriate, and the people would be given priority as much as possible, and then the edict would abolish all forced labor, and if it was employed by the government, it must be employed, and the amount of money and silk for employment and the number of days were stipulated. It is also to prevent bad things from happening to officials, so the number of days is limited. After the two taxes are fully exempted for three years, only half of the two taxes will be paid for the next three years.

In order to allow the people to rest and recuperate, only commercial taxes were not exempted, but the Liao State was also leviing commercial taxes, and the tax rate was higher than that of the Song Dynasty. Those who do not pay the business tax are those who are powerful and have nothing to do with these small and medium-sized businessmen who have not fled.

The policy is different in the cloud.

The Hu people are the main people here, mostly the Dangxiang people, the Qiang people, the Tuyuhun people, the Tubo people, and a small number of Khitan people have withdrawn. There is also a part of the Han Chinese.

It is impractical to want to levy two taxes here, so it is still the tax policy of Nanhetao, the imperial court is mainly semi-fettered, with officials and officers stationed there, but only commercial taxes are levied, and ethnic affairs are handled by them internally, and officials try to mediate and try not to interfere in their internal affairs.

But there is one more thing that has been done, and that is to reward and divide the territory.

There are governors, assassins, and county orders, all of which are fictitious officials who don't want money, and more than 400 people have been sealed at once, and even a small clan chief of a hundred or so households can mix a county order. They were all chiefs, and then the imperial court, under the pretext of fearing that they would have a conflict, sent officers and soldiers to assist them in dividing the territory of various places. On the surface, the Song Dynasty did an impeccable job, and the tribes here were not united, and there were too many mutual vendettas. In fact, with this one point, the entire Yunzhong region has become more than 400 small potentials. The largest governor was only about 2,000 households.

As long as the court does not leak, it is not harmful.

This is the harm of punishing the Han and Tang dynasties, especially the Tang Dynasty, learning Zhuge Liang's policy, like to support agents, an agent often has the right to govern a large area, as a result, Nanzhao is strong, Khitan is strong, and Tubo is strong...... Now the Song Dynasty has done the opposite.

It may be that the officials will have a little headache, but there will be no such thing as a heroic country. However, in general, the opening of the wool trade road before made the environment of these people better than that of Yanyun, at least their closeness to the Song Dynasty was higher than that of the Yanyun Han people now.

Under the rule of the Song Dynasty, the tax was not less than that of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty only levied commercial taxes, and the Liao State levied mostly commercial taxes, but it was inevitable that there would be some miscellaneous taxes and military service, and they were disregarded, but there was no more under the rule of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in addition to the disputes that arose during the division of territory, most of the tribes cheered when they heard of the arrival of the Song army.

Then two officials were appointed, Wang Yu, who performed well in Hebei, served as the governor of Bingzhou, and Zhao Yanwu was the governor of Youzhou. These two officials are capable of civil and military affairs, and they are all the best candidates. He also asked the veteran Pei Ji to deploy for the four prefectures of Yunzhong Zhizhou and Jiuyuan, Xuande, Dongsheng and Yunzhou.

Zhao Heng's actions in Youzhou were not over, and he allocated a lot of money and silk, hired soldiers and civilians, and planted drought-tolerant trees on the outside of Yanshan Mountain in Yinshan, mixed with various dense shrubs. He also sent people to find many coal mines, began to burn bricks, and simply repaired the ancient Great Wall, as for the Great Wall of Yinshan, there is no foundation at all, at least at the moment there is no financial resources to rebuild the Great Wall, but many checkpoints have been repaired.

It will cost a lot of money, but the Central Plains is equal to having three barriers, the first is Yinshan, the second is the ancient Great Wall, and the third is the line from the Juma River to Yanmen Pass.

Later, Zhao Heng obeyed Wang Qinruo's wishes, changed Youzhou to Jingdecheng, and regarded it as the Beijing of the Song Dynasty, so as to govern and stabilize Yanyun.

Song Jiu built the army with the name of the year, and Wang Qinruo built the city with the name of the year, which made Kou Zhun almost turn against Wang Qinruo on the spot.

However, Song Jiu was noncommittal and actually agreed. Wang Qinruo must want to make a sycophant, he can be named after the city, and he will be established as Beijing, which shows the respect of the imperial court, and Zhao Heng and the officials will also pay attention to it in the future. Before the people of Yanyun were completely returned to their hearts, and before the Liao State was destroyed, there were still many variables, especially the people in the north of Yanyun.

March is coming, and the whole cloud is under construction.

With the implementation of various preferential policies, the people have gradually stabilized.

In any case, although it is difficult to make people feel national pride now, the real policy is more benevolent than that of the Liao State.

Jerodunchin tentatively sent an envoy.

Our two countries are reconciled, and our country will hand over Yanyun and even all of Yunzhong to your country.

Song Jiu asked: "If you don't return it to my dynasty, do you still want to take it back?" ”

The messenger was speechless.

Song Jiu said: "If you want to reconcile, there are only two things, one is to be a minister, and the other is to return Pingzhou to our country." ”

Why do you want to get Yanyun, the main thing is strategic defense, but Pingzhou is in the hands of Liao, what other strategic defense is there? (To be continued......)
