831, the rich man who is loved by everyone
At dawn one day, Jin Zhongdu entered a state of full martial law, Gu Tao watched the beacon fire at the head of the city being lit, and the soldiers of the brigade began to carry out the transfer, he dipped in some sauce and ate a bite of scones.
Bi Qing was still sleeping, she had no idea what was happening outside now, but the sound of rain and noise outside made her sleep restlessly and have nightmares.
Jinzhong has collapsed.
The difference between the time and Gu Tao's expectation was about seven hours, and he expected it to collapse a little later, but he didn't expect it to collapse in advance, and the Dafa of killing people overnight was not successful, and some old nobles ran out, so the civil strife in Jin began at this rainy dawn.
Just like all empires collapse, the collapse of the building is rarely due to external pressure, and internal disorder is usually the real cause of the collapse.
The capital was under full martial law, the people were not allowed to go out on the streets at will, strategic materials began to accumulate in large quantities, and the people were actually in a trance and afraid, they locked themselves in their houses, and there was no one to see on the streets.
"Master......"
Bi Qing rubbed her eyes and pushed open Gu Tao's door, sleepy-eyed she still didn't know what was going on outside, but she knew that it was very noisy.
"Have you eaten?"
"The shopkeeper said that there may not be much to eat these days, and that the food in the city has been soaring since the morning, but even then there is nothing to buy."
The economic situation is the most intuitive information that reflects the state of a country, the economic downturn and price decline are the recession stage, the economic upward price downward is the recovery stage, the double upward trend is the hot stage, and the economic downward price upward is the stagflation stage.
Judging from the current situation of Kim Zhongdu, this is a stage of rapid social decline, or a stage of collapse.
Now there is still something to eat in the city, but after a few days, more than ten days, dozens of days, the city's reserves will be exhausted, at this time, if the rebellion besieges the city and forces the palace, no matter which side wins, the direct result is that the Jin Dynasty will completely enter the cold winter in this spring.
Recovery will take at least a year to a year and a half, but only if the surrounding geopolitical environment is extremely good, but it is clear that ...... Neither the Great Song nor Mongolia will give them this opportunity.
According to the map, Shanxi Datong will directly contact with the grassland Tatars, and now it should be in the hands of a big nobleman, and the route to the south is also blocked by a force, Jin Zhongdu can only seek the bitter cold "Longxing Land", but the support that can be given outside the gate is really pitiful, and even if Wan Yanjing wants to solve this danger of overturning the nest, the only person who can ask for help is the Great Song, and Jin and Song are mortal enemies......
The price, everything needs a price, even if the Mongols are not yet in the climate, but what about the Song Dynasty? What about the Song Dynasty?
Wan Yanjing stood on the tall building of the palace, and his head turned white all night. He is not very old, he is only thirty-two years old this year, he has always felt that he is a benevolent emperor, but why did he come to this point?
Obviously, the Jin Kingdom has reached the most powerful moment since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and those Han officials said that his dynasty can be as famous as the "rule of Wenjing", "the rule of Zhenguan" and "the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty", and it is not an exaggeration to respect the "rule of Wenchang".
But why did the powerful Jin Kingdom suddenly become like this, he was worried...... He panicked, too. He wants to be the lord of Zhongxing, he doesn't want to be the king of the fallen country, and he doesn't want his nickname to be named "mourning" and "Zhao".
"The four generals of Xuan are here to meet you!"
When the atmosphere in the city became more and more weird, Gu Tao sat on the balcony drinking tea and watching the rain. The rain in Beijing can't be seen enough, the beautiful scenery, the food, the wine and the tea, and the life is comfortable.
"Master, are you really not panicking? This is about to go to war. ”
"I can't fight." Gu Tao shook his head and said: "But the siege must be besieged, if I guess correctly, the Mongols will be in Datong in the next two days." Oh...... Yunzhou. ”
"Then ......" the corners of Bi Qing's eyes rose: "Then what are we doing?" ”
"Wait."
Not to mention that the ancient carriages and horses were slow, it was only relatively speaking, if such a big thing happened in a country, the surrounding neighbors would soon get the news, and they would react as quickly as possible.
The Southern Song Dynasty will be slower, but the Mongolian tribes will not be polite, they will definitely take advantage of this juncture to come down from Datong, if they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will plunder as usual.
This is something they are used to, but it may be worse for the Jin Dynasty.
Gu Tao is not in a hurry, let alone a civil strife in the palace of the Jin Dynasty, even if Genghis Khan called in advance, who can help him, he just wants to see how Yan Jing will deal with this matter.
To fight, or not to fight, this is definitely a question that can make people think of sudden death. Because no matter whether it is fought or not, the Jin Dynasty's qi is probably going to be cold in this generation. The attrition of the civil war was even far greater than that of the invasion of foreign enemies. If he doesn't fight, then he must compromise, and it goes without saying what the price of compromise is, not to mention the destruction of these years of reform, and even his own throne may be lifted.
It depends on whether this guy is greedy or not, if he wants to be greedy...... Hehe, then the operability is high, at least Gu Tao Judging from the current situation, Wan Yanjing's decision will be biased towards not fighting among the two choices.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be such a one, but the interesting thing is that in a few days, as soon as the Mongols came, this acre and three points of land was more than eight shallow waters, and they couldn't open their eyes.
"Come, write a letter to your Dog Emperor." Gu Tao said without looking back: "There are not many words, just ask him what he plans to use in exchange for Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures." ”
"Good, good!" Bi Qing nodded excitedly: "I want to see what the Dog Emperor will give me!" But Master, how do we send the letter when we write it? ”
Gu Tao took out a pigeon from his backpack.
Dove? Bi Qing is stupid, what else can he take out of that bag, this pigeon...... It's a little scary, right?,It seems that there is really a fairy art.。
A letter was quickly written, and then the drone disguised by the pigeon went straight to Lin'an City, according to the existing speed, Gu Tao adjusted it slightly, and it was a normal level.
The pigeon landed directly on Zhao Xing's window in the evening, and when he saw the cooing pigeon, he was surprised for a while, but when he saw the letter on the pigeon's leg, he quickly took it down.
And when he saw the familiar handwriting on it and asked him what he planned to exchange for Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Zhao Xing's heart was about to jump out, and he felt that he could barely breathe, and his mind was in chaos. After scurrying around like a headless fly for a while, he remembered his master.
"Someone! Someone! Master Chuantai! Quick, Master Chuantai! ”
Soon, the Taishi took the note and looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, he raised his head: "Official, let's be strong, it's time." ”
"Then how do I get back to Sister Qing? She asked me what I was going to trade it for, and you said...... If I don't give anything, won't she help me take the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun? ”
"If it's Miss Bi, then Your Majesty can rest assured, but ......"
Zhao Xing understands, and Taishi also understands. What level is Bi Qing's little girl, can they still not know? To put it bluntly, this note is the dowry that Bi Qing's master took care of her.
But with a dowry, it can't be said that there is no bride price. Moreover, if you accept and pay Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures for such merits, whoever puts it on you will actually be unable to escape death, if you really want to produce a person who recovers Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, then this person's prestige will reach a terrifying height, raise your arms and shout, and those supporters will be able to tear down him, the emperor's lair.
"Taishi...... How that should be? ”
"Official, it's better to write vaguely."
"How do you write that?"
The Taishi turned around twice with his hands behind his back: "Let me think twice......"
"Hurry up, the pigeon is still waiting."
The pigeon is waiting for it, the key is that this request is really difficult now, and ordinary people don't dare to make this kind of request to the emperor, but behind Bi Qing is the terrible traverser.
Tai Sheng is afraid that he will give too much or too little, but if he can really get back the sixteen states of Yanyun, how much is too much? Therefore, according to this line of thinking, what the "senior brother" wants is definitely not fame and fortune, but just a bride price for Bi Qing, but ...... The dowry is too heavy, and the bride price is not good.
"There it is!"
Taishi is still smart in the end, he clapped his hands: "Official, you just write like this." In the future, the family will be in charge of you. ”
Zhao Xuan pondered a little and slapped his thigh: "Wonderful!" Great! ”
"It's just an official, this golden mouth, you have no jokes, you have to be prepared when you go out."
"Prepare what?"
"All your life, you need to live in the shadow of your mother."
Zhao Xuan opened his mouth wide and looked at the Taishi in disbelief: "No...... Something else? ”
"Official ......"
It could be seen from his expression that this catastrophe might not be avoided, but Zhao Xuan only thought slightly, and then slapped the table heavily: "That's Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures!" It's worth it! ”
So soon, the reply letter was put into the carrier pigeon, watching the pigeon flicker its wings and leave the palace, Zhao Xuan realized that he had already been so excited that his hands and feet were cold, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of water.
"Butler, calm down."
"Where to calm down, the ancestors and ancestors are looking forward to taking back the land of Yanyun, now that it is within reach, where can it calm down."
Zhao Xuan propped up one hand on the table and supported the wall with the other: "I can't wait...... Can't wait! ”
-----------------
That's all for today. Maybe because of the cold weather, sitting in the room was cold all over, and I couldn't sit still at all. Hurry up and go to the bed, I can't bear it, I can't bear it, good night everyone.
Love you guys...... Rest early, too.
