Chapter 237: Zhao Huan feels like he's doing it again (asking for a monthly ticket!) )

While the story that Li Cun and the four famous prostitutes had to tell continued to be staged, Zhao Huan Junchen was also doing his best to raise gold and silver for Li Cun.

In Zhao Huanjunchen's view, the top priority was to scrape together enough gold and silver for Li Cun, and then send the cadres away.

But this is obviously not an easy thing to do.

- Actually, it's not that there is not so much wealth in Tokyo Bianliang City, as the richest city in the Zhao and Song Dynasty, the wealth reserves of Tokyo Bianliang City are extremely amazing, at least hundreds of millions of dollars must be there (in the historical Jingkang shame, the Jin people have already looted hundreds of millions of wealth in Tokyo Bianliang City), the Zhao and Song Dynasty court can't get the war reparations that Li Cun wants, just because Li Cun wants gold and silver, and the Zhao Song Dynasty has too few places to produce gold and silver.

More than 100,000 cadres besieged the city, making it difficult for Zhao Huan and his ministers to sleep and eat.

In order to collect the war reparations demanded by Li Cun, Zhao Huan adopted the suggestion of Wang Xiaodi, a Chinese scholar, and posted an announcement in Bianliang City, Tokyo:

The officials, soldiers, and civilians of Bianliang Castle in Tokyo must hand over all the gold and silver in their possession, and if they do not do so within the prescribed period, they will be beheaded for public display, and their relatives, slaves, maidservants, and anyone else who can report and expose those who have hidden gold and bank practices can be given half of the reward.

In order to implement this plan to collect gold and silver, Zhao Huan deliberately set up a temporary organization - a special gold and silver institute for collecting the army of the Great Qianguo, and gave this temporary organization supreme power to be responsible for collecting gold and silver.

And Wang Xiaodi is the highest person in charge of the gold and silver institute that specializes in collecting the great cadres and the army.

With the support of Zhao Huan and the efforts of Wang Xiaodi, it took only a few days to collect the gold and silver of the Great Qianguo Army, and it took more than 300,000 taels of gold and more than 1,200,000 taels of silver for Li Cun to raise.

But there is still a big gap.

Wang Xiaodi then sent people to post everywhere in the city:

"In the face of the holy decree, the soldiers and horses of the Great Qianguo besieged Beijing, and its situation was very urgent, and the imperial court sent envoys to negotiate peace, and it was necessary to use gold and silver coins and silk to form an alliance.

The gold and silver collected in the past years, from the temple, the palace forbidden, the public opinion, and the clothing, have been brushed to the end, and more than 300,000 taels of gold and more than 1,200,000 taels of silver have been obtained. However, when the Emperor Daqian saw that the number was not enough, he sent his envoys to the edict that it would be difficult for him to retreat, and he was afraid that the soldiers would be rewarded unevenly, and he would cause resentment, but he came to attack the city, killing all the men, taking all the women, burning all the houses, and exhausting the gold, silver, money, and goods......

When the people of Bianliang City, Tokyo, saw on the list that "all the men were killed, all the women were captured, all the houses were burned, and all the gold, silver, money and goods were gone", they all scolded and scolded.

The ordinary people in Bianliang City, Tokyo, can see that Li Cun has never killed the poor indiscriminately since the day he started the army, nor has he ever robbed the poor of their money and food, so the possibility that Wang Xiaodi said does not exist at all.

In fact, although Li Cun led the army of the cadres to besiege the city, the proletariat in Bianliang City, Tokyo, actually did not have any pressure at all, and many people even hoped that Li Cun would take down Bianliang City in Tokyo and then distribute the land to them.

Therefore, many people ridiculed Wang Xiaodi as a "book of the four ends", thinking that he can be compared with Li Ye, who is "six things like giving things". ….

After Li Cun heard that Zhao Huan's ministers were about to stretch out their hands to the general public, he immediately sent envoys into the city to warn: "My Emperor Daqian said that the Zhao family is immoral, exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and greatly promoting flowers and stones. Hugh must take away the sins of the people, and let us no longer plunder the people's fat and ointment, or the army will come."

When Zhao Huanjunchen heard that Li Cungou was meddling with rats, he was both aggrieved and angry, and felt that Li Cun's family lived by the sea and was too lenient.

And the person of insight interpreted Li Cun's move as Liu Bang's entry into Xianyang, aiming to buy people's hearts, to put it bluntly, Li Cun still died in the heart of the Song Dynasty, and reminded Zhao Huan to quickly find a way to send the cadres away, otherwise Li Cun may not know when he will attack Bianliang City in Tokyo.

At the same time, Li Cun sent envoys to warn Zhao Huan that he should not transfer the blame to the people and loot the wealth of the people, which was spread by the secret agents of the Wu Desi, the pro-army Duwei Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department, which made the people's hearts in Bianliang City in Tokyo shift a lot to the Daqian Dynasty.

Zhao Huan saw that things were not good, so he hurriedly asked Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and other ministers to find a way.

Zhao Huan's worries are not unfounded, if the people in Bianliang City, Tokyo rise up and cooperate with the cadres to break through Bianliang City, Tokyo, then their monarchs and ministers will not only lose their previous achievements, but may also be wiped out.

Someone suggested to Zhao Huan, can you use jewelry to redeem gold and silver?

Zhao Huan felt that this was a good way, because there were a lot of jewels in the palace of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and if Li Cun was willing to accept the jewels, he would almost be able to collect the war reparations that Li Cun demanded.

Zhao Huan immediately sent Li Ze, Li Ye and Zheng Wangzhi to discuss the matter.

Li Ze and others were ordered, and immediately rode out of the city, and then came to Qingcheng.

It was Han Fang who met with Li Ze and others.

Li Ze and others asked to meet Li Cun, saying that they had something important to say to Li Cun.

Han Fang said, "Your Majesty is discussing life with the two emperors and the four Oiran ladies, and studying human affairs, so I don't have time to meet with a few."

Li Cun was given a shadow by Zhao Huanjun's ministers, and the ministers of the Daqian Dynasty already knew about it.

In this regard, the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty were very angry, some persuaded Li Cun to return Li Shishi and them to the Zhao and Song Dynasty, some persuaded Li Cun to kill Li Shishi and them, and some people shouted to continue to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo.

When Li Cun heard this, he said vigorously, "I can't afford some small things, how can I bear the whole world? You have to wait for another talk, I just want to do things without a good conscience, as for what I am like, I will have descendants to judge."

As soon as Li Cun said this, because of Li Cun's consistent sage and domineering, the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty did not dare to persuade him anymore.

But this does not mean that the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty will be willing to suffer this dumb loss for Li Cun.

At this moment, Han Fang was comparing Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu with Li Shishi, Zhao Yuannu, Wang Zhongduan and Hua Xiangrong to fight back.

Li Ze and Li Ye are not backbone people, and in the face of Han Fang's insult from Chiguoguo, they can only laugh together.

However, Zheng Wangzhi said, "Can the emperor be compared to the Oiran?" ….

Han Fang looked at Zheng Wangzhi and asked, "In my opinion, it's no different."

Thinking about the situation of Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu and Li Shishi, Zhao Yuannu, Wang Zhongduan and Hua Xiangrong, Zheng Wangyi was speechless.

Li Ze and Li Ye were afraid of Zheng Wangzhi's bad deeds, so they hurriedly gave Zheng Wangzhi a look and asked Zheng Wangzhi not to talk nonsense.

Zheng Wangzhi just didn't know how to debate, so he could only give up.

Li Ze and other Song envoys then told Han Fang that Zhao Huan wanted to exchange gold and silver with jewelry, and said that Li Cun did not let the Zhao and Song courts loot the people's gold and silver, and if the Zhao and Song courts did not use jewelry to pay off their debts, they would really not be able to make up enough for the war reparations demanded by Li Cun.

Han Fang also knew that Li Ze and they were telling the truth, so after Li Ze and them had all the good things to say, he went to ask Li Cun for instructions.

Li Cun had already made up his mind not to break through Tokyo Bianliang City this time, and was ready to cast a long line to catch big fish, so he agreed to Zhao Huan's request.

After Han Fang came back, he said to Li Ze and other Song envoys according to Li Cun's meaning: "Jewelry can be discounted, silk silk can be discounted, antique calligraphy and paintings can be discounted, and other valuable things can also be discounted, but because their prices cannot be estimated, they all need to be discounted at a low price."

With Li Cun's approval, Zhao Huan was overjoyed and immediately began to collect jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and other valuable items.

In fact, the Zhao Song Dynasty's Fengchun Treasury had a large amount of silk silk at this time, which could fully cover this war reparation.

This is also the reason why Li Cun proposed that silk silk could be used to offset the war reparations - Li Cun, who didn't want to break through Bianliang City in Tokyo now, wanted to withdraw his troops as soon as possible, after all, so many troops went out to fight, and the daily cost was astronomical.

But Zhao Huan remembered Zhao Ji's words from the previous emperors - "Feng Chunku is the last reliance of my Great Song Dynasty, and it cannot be moved lightly."

The key is that Zhao Huan feels that those jewels and antique calligraphy and paintings are useless at all, and it is better to use them to offset the war reparations.

Zhao Huan really thought so, and did so.

An inner servant once held a jade cup that was ground into the shape of a dragon's claw on the outside, and said to Zhao Huan angrily: "The price of this lamp is only a few thousand yuan, but the price of the great cadres is only 200 yuan, and it is too much to deceive people."

Zhao Huan glanced at the jade cup and said surgingly, "I don't know what you did to make this thing in the first place?" Then he said, "In my opinion, two hundred taels are too much."

Subsequently, Zhao Huan ordered that all the jewels in the palace be gathered in the Xuanhe Palace, and all the jewels in the palace were sent to Li Cun.

In order to make up enough gold and silver for Li Cun as soon as possible and let Li Cun withdraw his troops as soon as possible, Zhao Huan came up with a new trick.

Didn't Li Cun not let Zhao Huan forcibly rob gold and silver from the people, Zhao Huan used copper and iron coins to buy gold and silver from the people at a high price, and began to increase the intensity of selling officials.

Zhao Huan ordered that gold could be sold for twenty yuan per tael, and silver could be sold for five hundred wen per tael.

This price was much higher than the original price of gold and silver, so much so that many people rushed to sell gold and silver to the Zhao and Song courts.

Later, the copper and iron coins of the Zhao and Song dynasties were gone, and Zhao Huan asked people to hurry up and make money, and at the same time gave the people white slips, and continued to buy gold and silver at a high price.

At the same time, there was a person named "Li Li", who paid 674 taels of gold and 14,7429 coins of silver, and Zhao Huan personally wrote instructions and awarded Li Licheng Zhonglang; A person named "Ge Guan" paid 600 taels of gold and 3,570 taels of silver, and Zhao Huan personally wrote instructions and awarded Ge Guan Bao Lang. ….

According to the statistics of the "Specialized Harvest Cluster of Gold and Silver Rewards", there are hundreds of people like Li Li and Ge Guan who use gold and silver to buy official positions.

Under the unremitting efforts of Zhao Huan Junchen, Li Cunshi's huge war indemnity demanded by Li Cunshi was gradually collected by Zhao Huan Junchen.

Looking at Zhao Huanjunchen's powerful ability to scrape the ground, it is not a big problem to gather the war reparations that Li Cun demanded.

But at this time, Zhao Huan was no longer so eager and enthusiastic about continuing to search for gold and silver.

Because the division of King Qin has come to the city of Bianliang in Tokyo one after another.

The first division of King Qin was the Jingxi recruitment led by the commander Ma Zhong.

It was followed by 10,000 cavalry led by Fan Qiong, the commander of Jingdong.

These two are both generals, and as soon as they arrived at the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, they had a hand with Yang Zhibu, a cadre army.

The two sides fought for more than an hour, with nearly 1,000 casualties each, which can be regarded as a draw.

Subsequently, Yang Zaixing led the Youyi army to reinforcements.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong took the initiative to retreat to the side of the horse prison and set up camp.

And Li Cun is casting a long line to catch a big fish, how can he share the victory or defeat with the Zhao Song Dynasty now?

- If Li Cun lets go of the fight now, and accidentally kills the Qin Wang's division of the Zhao Song Dynasty, how will it end in the future? Could it really be that Zhao Huan took the initiative to withdraw the army after collecting the war reparations? Can that reassure Zhao Huan? If Zhao Huan is not at ease, can he deceive Zhao Ji and their royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasty back?

Therefore, Li Cun ordered Yang Zaixing and Yang Zhi to withdraw their troops, and withdrew the army to the north, putting on a posture of fearing the army of King Qin of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, heavy snow fell from the sky, the north wind howled, and the temperature suddenly dropped dramatically, and the city of Bianliang in Tokyo became extremely cold.

At this time, it had been almost half a month since the Qianjun besieged the city.

Because the gate of Bianliang City in Tokyo has been closed for half a month, the materials from outside cannot be transported in at all, and the stomachs of the dignitaries and nobles in the city have begun to store grain again, so that there is a shortage of food in the city, prices have skyrocketed, and the poor people have begun to have nothing to eat, and even people have frozen to death and starved to death.

After Li Cun learned of this situation, he ordered to transport 500,000 stone of grain to Nanxunmen, and then everyone could receive a bucket of grain regardless of men, women, old and young, noble and low.

Zhao Huan Junchen did not want to see Li Cungan buy the hearts of the people.

But Zhao Huan Junchen didn't dare to take out the more than one million stone grain they only had and distribute it to the people.

- If Zhao Huan Junchen did this, the high-ranking officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty and the food of the army would not be guaranteed.

Therefore, as a last resort, Zhao Huan Junchen could only watch Li Cun buy the hearts of the people.

As for why Li Cun has so much grain?

Of course, because Li Cun opened up the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, he could not only send the captured seizures from Tokyo Bianliang City to Tianfu safely and quickly through convenient waterways, but also continuously transport food and troops to Tokyo Bianliang City.

It is precisely because of this that the day after Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong led their headquarters to Bianliang City, Tokyo, Cao Cheng also led 20,000 Dongfu troops to escort 1 million stone grains and grass to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Seeing this, Zhao Huan Junchen discussed it and felt that he had to continue to pay Li Cun war reparations, otherwise, if Li Cun attacked Bianliang City in Tokyo at this time, then they would have lost their previous achievements, and looking at Li Cun's posture, even if it was the Zhao Song Dynasty fighting a national war, they would not be afraid. ….

Therefore, it is very unwise to cut off the war reparations that have been promised to Li Cun now.

In the following days, while the army of King Qin of the Zhao and Song Dynasty continued to gather, Zhao Huan and his ministers still racked their brains to collect war reparations for Li Cun.

But it was different from before, at this time, Zhao Huan took out this war reparation, which made Zhao Huan feel very embarrassed.

Therefore, Zhao Huan always held his breath in his heart, looking forward to the day when he could get out of this endless suffocating breath.

The army of King Qin gathered more and more, until the veteran general of the Gyeonggi and Hebei Road systems, and Yao Pingzhong, the commander of the system, led the western army of Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road to arrive at the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, and the soldiers and horses gathered by the Zhao and Song dynasties already had the strength to fight with the cadre army.

Seed Master Dao is now seventy-six years old, and he is definitely an old veteran.

A few years ago, at the beginning of Zhao Ji's desire to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, considering that the prestige of the Seed Master Dao in the Western Army was very high, he sent the Seed Master Dao to serve as the commander of the capital.

But the master of the cultivation was opposed to the Zhao Song Dynasty taking advantage of the danger of the Liao State to attack the Liao State, so he was relatively negative about the plan of Lianjin to destroy the Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and he also got along very unhappily with the commander Tong Guan.

Later, the Song Dynasty was attacked by the Liao army, and there were many casualties, and the seed master ordered to fight back.

However, due to various reasons such as the main force of the Western Army at that time, the Liao army was all horse army, and the Song army was dominated by infantry troops, the division was defeated by Yelu Dashi.

After that, in order to protect himself, Tong Guan put all the blame on the seed master Dao, and impeached the seed master Dao for not respecting Zhao Ji's imperial pen and soldiers, and used the sword soldiers in vain, resulting in the failure of the plan to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

As a result, the seed master was removed from his post and then forced to become a priest.

Later, the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun was not smooth, which made Li Cun further bigger and stronger.

Zhao Ji realized that the seed master Dao was prescient, so he ordered the restoration of the seed master Dao Baojing Army Festival envoy position, and let the seed master Dao serve as the history of Xianzhou Thorn and the governor of Huanzhou.

Last year, before Zhao Ji was in the Zen throne, he thought of the seed master Dao again, so the day before the Zen throne, he appointed the seed master Dao as the envoy of the Gyeonggi and Hebei Road systems, and sent a special person to invite the seed master to lead the western army into the king of Jingqin.

After the breeder Dao Zhishi, he has been living in seclusion in the leopard forest valley of Zhongnan Mountain, he really didn't expect that he was seventy-six years old, and he could still be remembered by the emperor and entrusted with important tasks.

In this regard, the seed master was very moved.

Therefore, after receiving the order of King Qin, the seed master Dao immediately reorganized the army and prepared King Qin.

However, at that time, the cultivator did not immediately lead the army eastward.

——Seed Master Dao concluded at that time that the army of the Daqian Dynasty would definitely not dare to go deep alone, because this was a taboo for soldiers, and Li Cun was a soldier and should not make this common-sense mistake.

Later, after the seed master Dao led the army to set off, he did not march in a hurry, but only traveled thirty miles a day, so that the army could maintain its combat effectiveness at all times.

On the way to Bianliang Castle in Tokyo, Tanshido encountered an army of 1,000 horses and 3,000 infantry led by Yao Pingzhong, and then incorporated them and continued to march eastward at an unhurried pace.

It wasn't until he met Yin Tianhao, the young man of Kaifeng Mansion who was sent by Zhao Huan to move the rescue troops, and Pei Yi and Lu Shun, the internal attendants, that he knew that the Zhao Song Dynasty had changed the emperor, and the cadres and troops had also been

The soldiers besieged Bianliang City in Tokyo, and the new emperor Zhao Huan is now having trouble sleeping. ….

Tian Hao, Pei Yi and Lu Shun urged the Seed Master Dao to march quickly and go to rescue Bianliang City in Tokyo and rescue the driver.

However, at this time, some people heard that Li Cun's troops might have as many as 200,000 men, and suggested: "The enemy is heavy, and if I attack it with light troops, I will be defeated." The soldiers of the Quartet King will disintegrate. Why don't you stay in the water, in order to win."

The planter replied, "No. Although I serve the king with small soldiers, if I don't return late, I will see cowardice and only lose. The enemy is alone, and he is afraid that our reinforcements will come. If you go now, he is unpredictable. But once you ride to the Beijing Division, the spirit of the Beijing Division will be self-invigorating."

As a result, the planter Dao Li overrode public opinion and led the army to advance rapidly.

The Daoist Department of the Seed Master made a big noise along the road, and everywhere it passed, they posted a post saying: "The seed Shaobao led a million western soldiers to come to Qin Wang."

When approaching Bianliang City in Tokyo, the Seed Master Dao selected twenty cavalry of the Western Army as the vanguard, and asked them to wear armor, be fully armed, carry sealed wax books, and enter Beijing first.

These twenty selected cavalry of the Western Army galloped away, and when they reached the outside of Tokyo, they happened to encounter the Qianjun rangers.

These twenty selected cavalry of the Western Army were not afraid of the enemy, and immediately galloped their horses to attack the dry army guerrillas, which were several times their size.

The leader of the cavalry of the Qianjun army deduced that a large number of reinforcements from the Song army were coming, otherwise only twenty cavalry of the Song army would not have been so reckless, and then chose to retreat without a fight.

As a result, these twenty selected cavalry of the Western Army came to the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, knocked on the city gate, and then entered the palace to present Zhao Huan with the wax book of the Plantation Teacher.

[In view of the general environment, after Zhao Huan learned about this, he saw the wax book of the Seed Master Dao, and knew that the Seed Master Dao led the strongest western army of the Zhao Song Dynasty to come to King Qin, and he was overjoyed, and then sent someone to summon the Seed Master Dao to enter Tokyo Bianliang City as soon as possible to meet him.

After receiving Zhao Huan's order, he took advantage of the fact that the Qianjun and Ma troops under the city went to defend against the new Qinwang and Zhang Junbu, and personally led 8,000 horse troops to break through the blockade of the Qianjun infantry and break into Bianliang City, Tokyo.

When the Song army saw this scene at the head of the city, they cheered and their morale was greatly increased.

Zhao Huan was overjoyed after listening to the chamberlain's detailed account of the incident!

After the excitement, Zhao Huan swept away his previous cowardice, gritted his teeth and said, "The time for me to take revenge is coming!"

……

Ask for a monthly pass!.
