Chapter 336: Catastrophe
At the first glance of Wang Zhiwei, Song Wen just shook his head gently...... "Don't be afraid, I said it...... There will never be a rebellion! ”
Wang Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief...... He can trust Song Wen's promise, because Song Wen has worked hard all these years and has never deceived anyone with lies.
"You're not optimistic about the imperial court's northern expedition? You're not still doing business with the Khitans, selling them gunpowder shells and weapons, are you? ”
Song Wen shook his head: "I am a Han Chinese, a descendant of Yan and Huang...... On the day of the war between the imperial court and the Northern Liao, I wrote a letter to the little marquis Yelu Shange, and since then the business has been cut off and there has been no communication...... This is the great righteousness of the nation! ”
Wang Zhiwei sighed: "It's a pity...... A big business of hundreds of thousands of silver and horses a year! ”
Song Wen sat on a chair and motioned for Wang Zhiwei to sit down as well, and gently pushed out an account book...... "After the inventory at the end of last year, add horses...... In fact, not hundreds of thousands, but more than 1.3 million! ”
"What?"
Wang Zhiwei stood up in surprise and ...... "More than 1.3 million? Is the Southern Courtyard Grand King's Mansion so rich? ”
"Actually, it was Emperor Liao who did business with us later! The Southern Courtyard Dawangfu has long been emptied of all the family funds...... In addition to gunpowder shells, there are also warships built in Dengzhou Sailor Dazhai, weapons from Sanxian Island and Dengzhou...... There's even a lot of grain that has been transported to Dengzhou by your hands! I converted it all into silver, gold, and war horses, and doubled my earnings from the Liao......"
Wang Zhiwei's face turned pale...... "You, since you don't want to rebel...... What do you do with so many military postures? Supporting the imperial court's northern expedition? Aren't you the least optimistic about the imperial court? ”
Song Wen looked at Wang Zhiwei's eyes and whispered, "Two years...... The imperial court has two years left at most! The Liao State will fall, and the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens will inevitably go to war in an all-out way...... The Great Song will be defeated! ”
Wang Zhiwei took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I believe in your ability...... But what do you want to do when you hoard supplies? Turning the tide? Hiring? But you can control Dengzhou...... If you are full of soldiers, you will have a maximum of 10,000 soldiers! If there is more, the imperial court will immediately notice and make a move on you......"
Song Wen smiled...... "The first time the Jurchens fought with the Great Song Dynasty, it was purely a temptation!" Under the condition that they have not digested the captured territory and those servant armies, they will not completely start fighting at all! They will test and test the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty! Is there any hole card that has not been played in the army of the Great Song Dynasty...... Do you think that the imperial court ...... Anything else? ”
Wang Zhiwei shook his head gloomily: "Now that the imperial court has driven Uncle Zhang away again, Li Gang is still sitting in the position of the squire of the military department...... Wang Huang Zhishi, but the Cai family is still ...... There is also a hidden phase Liang Shicheng! These people are in power...... Where is the opportunity for the loyal to really rise to the top?"
Song Wen nodded: "Even if there is, it's too late, the Great Song Dynasty is already rotten...... No matter how many loyal ministers and good generals they are, they can't save the fate of the Central Plains! Retreat to Gangnam ...... There is no point in retreating to Qiongzhou! If the Central Plains are lost, the Han people will be broken...... Gangnam ...... Those southerners, in the peaceful years, can do business, farm and raise silkworms, and expect them to recover the Central Plains, Guangda Han people, and there is no door! For thousands of years, there has not been a single imperial court in the south of the Gou'an River that can succeed......"
"My father has died...... Wang Jia...... Now it's officially divided into two! My eldest brother and sister-in-law crossed the river with their property and went to Jinling! I ......"
Song Wen nodded...... "Do you want to leave too?" ”
"I want to see, what do you Song Wen want to do?"
Song Wen stroked the map on the table...... said softly: "I don't want to leave, a year later, I will lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight the banner of the descendants of Yan and Huang refusing to be slaves!" raised troops in Shandong and defended Qingzhou as a battlefield...... Backed by 100,000 acres of tuntian on the first line of Dengzhou Mizhou, plus Sanxian Island and Dengzhou Sailors! Recruit heroes from the Central Plains who are unwilling to succumb to slavery and be killed by aliens in half of Shandong...... Deal with the Jurchens! ”
Wang Zhiwei looked down at the map and asked, "Can you be sure that the Jurchens will really start a full-scale war with the Great Song Dynasty?"
Song Wen nodded and pointed to the capital of the Great Liao and said: "The real key point of the Liao Kingdom is in the capital city!" But as far as I know, I'm afraid that Shangjing won't be able to hold on to the end of this month...... Tong Guan's army is now in the last elite battle between the Yanshan generation and the Great King's Mansion of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom! As expected...... The last bit of elite of the Great Song Forbidden Army will be lost! And the unwillingly defeated Tong Guan and the emperor...... Will use other methods to save face for himself! ”
Wang Zhiwei's eyes lit up...... "Redeem!" Are you saying that the imperial court will spend money to buy these cities that fell into the hands of the Jurchens?"
Then, the Jurchens met the wealth and richness of the Great Song Dynasty...... and the vain, corrupt, and incompetent army and generals of the Great Song Dynasty......"
Song Wen gently pushed over a cup of tea, looked at Wang Zhiwei with a complicated face, and said, "Whether to go or stay, you make your own decisions!" I won't rebel, but I won't flee to Jiangnan with all this money and the Great Song Dynasty to survive for a few years! I want to stay and firmly hold the Shandong Peninsula...... Leave a way to live for the people of the Central Plains who have fallen to the iron hooves of the Jurchens! Is Brother Wang going or staying...... I have no opinion at all! If you go, I will hand over all those food and supplies to you in gold! ”
Wang Zhiwei didn't say a word, and looked at the map on the table...... In the end, he actually smiled...... "Hahaha, at the beginning, I was a frustrated child who was excluded and assigned, all with the help of your Song Langjun's light, and only took back half of my Wang family's property in a few years...... In addition, starting from Wazi Street, to joining hands with you Song Langjun to operate Tiandi Chun and glassware, all kinds of canned food and KitKat...... I, Wang Zhiwei, used a few years to earn back the money that the three generations of the Wang family couldn't earn back! What else do I care about? ”
Wang Zhiwei stood up, patted his chest and said: "When my father was dying, he left me a message, and he is not allowed to seek revenge on my uncle and sister-in-law in this life!" I, Wang Zhiwei, will give myself a big deal this time, and all the warehouses and grain stores and shops under my name will be merged into the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce from today onwards! I'll bet on you Song Wen...... will kill a bright and prosperous man in this troubled world, and become a prince Wandai! ”
Song Wen stood up and handed the tea to Wang Zhiwei's hand...... The two looked at each other and drank it all!
Song Wen opened his mouth and said: "If there is a Ming Jun in the Great Song Dynasty, I, Song Wen, will do my best to support Sheji!" In the future, he will hand over his military power in exchange for a squire of the peace...... I will not lose my brother! If the court has no way......"
Wang Zhiwei looked at Song Wen with a trembling and slightly Qiji death......
"If there is no way in the court, I will stick to Shandong and strengthen myself! If the Great Song Dynasty is not exhausted, I will choose the Lord to stand up! and Brother Wang left a heavy mark in the history books......"
This is a promise, Wang Zhiwei brought hundreds of millions of family wealth to support Song Wen...... Song Wen must fight for Wang Zhiwei in the imperial court to get the corresponding status!
Wang Zhiwei put down the teacup, took a few steps back respectfully, and bowed to Song Wen...... "Wang Zhiwei, the head of the Wang family in the Central Plains, has seen Lang Jun!" ”
This is allegiance! It represents that Wang Zhiwei took all the power and wealth under his name and really invested it in Song Wen's name...... Because he knows how much strength and wealth Song Wen controls today!
If the imperial court is really defeated in the Great War...... The Central Plains is in turmoil, and a rich man like Song Wen will soon take the opportunity to grow rapidly! and then became an independent armed force like a local warlord that the imperial court did not dare to provoke easily...... For example, the Western Army will be the gate!
Correspondingly, as long as Song Wen does not rebel openly! The imperial court also had to reserve a position as a spokesperson for places like Song Wen above the court...... From now on, as long as Song Wen does not fall, he can also obtain the corresponding official position! Even if it won't have much real power, its status will definitely not be too low...... This is also a long-cherished wish of my father's life!
An undercurrent suddenly surged in the Central Plains...... More resources began to flow to the Shandong region in a steady stream, and the ...... was a few months Song Wen completely controlled all the Tunbing Guards and Tuntian Guards under his name! In the name of recruiting the Tuntian Liumin Xiang Army, 1,000 Xiang troops were again screened out and dispersed to various military camps for training and training......
Wang Yuan and Wang Zhizhou were already numb...... He is waiting, waiting for Li Yan, Liang Shicheng and Cai You to give him a chance to escape Michigan! Wang Yuan, who was as cunning as a fox, had already smelled the unusual smell of the Mizhou area...... Song Wen was surprisingly silent, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the entire Mizhou plus Dengzhou!
Something big is going to happen......
