Song Huizong only read the first sentence, and he had the urge to tear the letter apart.

"Generalissimo Chuanxia respectfully asks the Emperor of the Song State to be unharmed......"

This is the fucking "national letter" format, and the so-called "respect" is purely polite.

Moreover, Zhu Ming previously proclaimed himself a "general" and deliberately promoted to "generalissimo" when writing a letter.

In the pre-Qin period, the marshal was only the commander of the Chinese army, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was different, the marshal was often held by the prince or prince, and the deputy marshal was served by the minister of outstanding prestige.

For example, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, served as the marshal of the Western Expedition.

Zhao Gou during the Jingkang period also proclaimed himself the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

"Sichuan Gorge" is not "Sichuan Shaanxi", it probably refers to the Sichuan region, and it can also be extended outward.

With Song Huizong's intelligence and erudition, when he saw the first sentence, he understood what Zhu Ming meant.

Although there is no clear-cut founding of the country and the title of emperor, Sichuan has been regarded as a country. Zhu Ming called himself the generalissimo, that is, as a prince, he was writing a letter of state to Song Huizong!

The next content is roughly as follows:

First, he condemned Song Huizong's wanton expropriation and expropriation, which led to the hardship of the people in the world and the boiling of public resentment.

Second, the Zhu clan raised troops in response to the people, not rebellion or rebellion.

Third, condemn Song Huizong for provoking the border without authorization, and should not send troops to attack all roads in the Sichuan Gorge. He also said that this was a matter of Zhuxia, and borrowing troops from Dali was a move to attract barbarians to chaos in Xia.

Fourth, there are 100,000 armor soldiers in Sichuan Gorge, and if Song Huizong still wants to fight, Zhu Ming is willing to lead troops to Tokyo to meet the old man.

Fifth, now that there have been natural and man-made disasters for many years, Zhu Ming does not want to see the end of the war, so he chooses to negotiate a temporary truce.

Sixth, in order to show his sincerity in negotiation, Zhu Ming was willing to marry the monarchs and ministers of the Song State, and asked to marry the Emperor Ji of the Song State and the daughter of the Chong clan and the daughter of the Zhe clan.

Seventh, because Song Huizong took the initiative to provoke the war, he had to compensate for the loss of money and grain, 2 million guan of money and 200,000 stone of rice.

Eighth, the family members of some civil and military officials under Zhu Ming's command, as well as some old friends, must not be difficult for the imperial court, and must be sent to Sichuan safely.

Ninth, if Song Huizong agreed to the above conditions, Zhu Ming promised to return the land of Shaanxi.

After patiently reading this "national letter", Song Huizong was still angry at the beginning, but one was more outrageous than the other, and he felt infinite fear at the end of reading it.

Because the imperial court really has no money, and there are no soldiers to adjust.

Nowadays, not only Sichuan has a red thief, but Jinghu Lake also gave birth to a bell thief (Zhong Xiang).

Song Jiang fled to Hebei to resurrect, and in Hebei and Shandong, there were also Gao Tuoshan, Zhang Di, Zhang Wanxian, Sun Lie, Wu Hu, Yang Tianwang, Prince Li, Xu Jin, Liu Dalang and other thieves. All of the above are thieves with a scale of more than 10,000, and the number of people is only a few hundred or thousand.

Even in Kaifeng Mansion, there are thieves!

There are three reasons for the widespread uprisings in Shandong and Hebei this year: first, the Yellow River broke its banks again, and it was difficult for the government to provide relief; second, the Xicheng Office set up by the eunuch Li Yan was too exploited in Shandong; Third, to redeem the land of Yanjing and Liuzhou in Liao, not a cent of taxes could be collected, but money and grain had to be thrown into it, and all this money and grain were apportioned by the people of Shandong and Hebei.

Even if there is no Zhu Ming to rebel, these thieves will come out.

In history, Gaotuo Mountain was known as an army of 300,000, which was defeated by Yang Weizhong and Xin Xingzong and accepted Zhao'an. Zhang Di, known as an army of hundreds of thousands, was suppressed by Liu Guangshi and died in defeat. Zhang Wanxian was known as an army of 100,000 and was defeated and recruited. Sun Lie, known as an army of 100,000, was defeated by Liang Fangping......

At this time and space, the western army was fighting with Zhu Ming, and the imperial court was unable to suppress the uprising in the north, resulting in the complete erosion of Shandong and Hebei, and only local officials and gentry were forced to recruit troops to deal with it.

Take Shandong as an example, Qingzhou, Qizhou, Weizhou, Laizhou, and Mizhou are all gone, and they have completely become the territory of the peasant rebel army.

The local families either recruited troops to resist, followed the rebellion, or fled for their lives.

Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze and other capable magistrates, with the support of the big clan and Haoqiang, were struggling to resist the expansion of the rebel army.

Li Qingzhao's hometown, as well as her hermitage, were all occupied by the rebels, so frightened that the couple quickly fled to Xuzhou.

The butterfly effect brought by Zhu Ming also led to the shortage of money, food, and armor of Guo Yaoshi, and he did not stop the entry of the "Emperor of Xi State". If it weren't for the Jin State sending troops to destroy the Xi State, Guo Yaoshi would not even be able to gain a foothold in Yanjing.

Cai Jing has been living in Tokyo and was urgently recruited into the palace at this time.

"What does Lu Gong have to teach me?" Song Huizong asked.

Cai Jing can barely see, even if someone stands in front of him, he can only see a black shadow.

Faced with the emperor's inquiry, Cai Jing wanted to say that he should get rid of Hua Shigang. But his most powerful ally now is Zhu Mian, and Zhu Mian relies on Hua Shigang to gain a foothold, and this thing must not be canceled.

Cai Jingjing is seventy or eighty years old, his eyes can't see, the situation is still a mess, there is no need for him to wade into troubled waters.

But this guy has a great desire for power, and he even plans to reinstate, even if he doesn't hesitate to make a commotion, he wants to reinstate.

Cai Jing asked: "I heard that the Zhu thief has sent a letter, can the old minister take a look?" ”

Song Huizong asked the idlers to step back and read Zhu Ming's letter in person.

After hearing this, Cai Jing thought carefully: "Now there are thieves from all walks of life, and Zhu thief is a big trouble. However, the Zhu thief occupied Sichuan and defeated all kinds of officers and soldiers, and suddenly it was impossible to get rid of them quickly. Since Zhu Thief is willing to negotiate peace, he can stabilize it first and try to preserve the imperial court's strength. After the thieves return to Sichuan, they will concentrate their forces next year to exterminate the thieves in Shandong and Hebei. After the north is stabilized, we will go to exterminate Jinghu Zhongxiang. Then recuperate for a year or two, raise enough money and food, and then go to encircle and suppress the Zhu thief! ”

Song Huizong nodded: "This is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country." ”

Now there are anti-thieves all over the country, which makes Song Huizong's brain very confused, Cai Jing helps to figure it out, and the situation seems to be clear all of a sudden.

Cai Jing also said: "The erosion of Shandong is all caused by the Xicheng, and the Xicheng is so peaceful as the people." ”

Hua Shigang can't stop, because Zhu Mian is Cai Jing's ally.

Xicheng can stop it, because Li Yan is Wang Huang's dog.

Song Huizong hesitated: "Xicheng raises a lot of money and grain every year, and if it is recalled, I am afraid that there will be even more shortage of money and food." ”

Cai Jing said: "If Xicheng doesn't stop, Jingdong Road will never be peaceful." Even Gyeonggi and Gyeongseo will become thieves. I heard that there were thieves in Kaifeng Mansion, and it was the West City that provoked the rebellion. Even if His Majesty is reluctant, he should wait until the thieves are eliminated and reinstated. ”

"Then get rid of Xicheng!" Song Huizong made up his mind.

Cai Jing said again: "You can marry the emperor, but you can't marry the daughter of Jiangmen, otherwise the Zhu thief will never be exterminated." ”

Song Huizong asked: "What should the thief insist on?" ”

Cai Jing said: "Then marry the daughter of the family, not the daughter of the family!" ”

Song Huizong sent Cai Jingli out of the palace, gave some goods as a reward, and then called Li Bangyan to discuss.

The next day, Shi Yuangong was summoned.

Shi Yuangong came with that letter and was in charge of the negotiations.

Looking at the majestic palace, Shi Yuangong couldn't help but think of the time when he entered Beijing to take the exam, he was shy and could only rent a suburban residence, but now he has the qualifications to enter and leave the palace.

It's such a cool feeling!

"Shi Yuangong, the shogunate of the Generalissimo of the Sichuan Gorge, has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Kingdom." Shi Yuangong bowed.

Such a title made Song Huizong angry, but he could only smile: "Give a seat." ”

Waiting for Shi Yuangong to sit down, Li Bangyan said: "I have a very personal relationship with Yuan Zhanggong and Brother Chenggong, but I have never seen Your Excellency, may I ask where Your Excellency is Xianxiang?" ”

Shi Yuangong said: "I used to be a lifter, the government exploited excessively, and my family members died of illness and hunger. Fortunately, the generalissimo took him in, and he has followed the generalissimo for many years. ”

These words made Song Huizong a little embarrassed, and pretended to say: "My Great Song Dynasty has always been kind to scholars, and I only hate corrupt officials for ignoring the king's life, and actually making the local people miserable. Shi Qing is so talented, if I had met it earlier, I would have been promoted to Beijing official. ”

"Your Majesty has praised it." Shi Yuangong smiled slightly, this faint monarch actually wanted to buy himself with high-ranking officials and Houlu.

Li Bangyan said: "Your Majesty has already read Brother Chenggong's letter, and the Zhu family is indeed helpless to raise troops. His Majesty intends to canonize the Duke of Yuanzhang as the envoy of the Sichuan Gorge and the Duke of Shu, and canonize the successful brother as the pacification envoy of the Sichuan Gorge, the Marquis of Hanzhong, and the commander of the horse. ”

Shi Yuangong arched his hand and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but my lord does not accept the canonization of the Song Kingdom." ”

Song Huizong is looking for face and establishing his authority. Although he also seized Sichuan, the official titles he canonized were very different from the official positions received by the Zhu family's father and son.

A normal anti-thief, he definitely agreed, but he didn't expect Shi Yuangong to refuse.

Song Huizong doesn't want to talk about it anymore, so just keep fighting!

Shi Yuangong was taken away from the palace in this way, and when he went out, a light snow suddenly fell in the sky, which was the first snow in the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty.

Two days later, a battle report came from Jingxi Road: Tong Guan retreated to Yingchang Mansion (Xuchang), Zhang Guangdao led his troops to capture Xiangcheng and Yuncheng, and the righteous army was still 250 miles away from Tokyo.

The capital was shaken, and the officials and the people were in an uproar.

There were even eunuchs and civil officials who were preparing to welcome the new king. Because as soon as Yingchang is broken, there will be no barrier in Tokyo, and the thieves can drive straight in, and there are no soldiers in Tokyo at all.

Cai Jing even thought about reinstatement, instigated the remaining henchmen to impeach Wang Huang, and put all the responsibility on Wang Huang's head.

Song Huizong summoned Shi Yuangong again and no longer mentioned the canonization of Zhu's father and son.

And this time, there will be no detours.

The emperor himself was not easy to speak, so he asked Li Bangyan to speak: "The Zhu family cannot build a yuan and be the emperor!" ”

Shi Yuangong smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Li Bangyan also said: "Two million guan money and 200,000 stone rice are too much, and the imperial court only gives 200,000 guan money and 20,000 stone rice. ”

Shi Yuangong was still laughing: "Yes." ”

Li Bangyan said: "The Zhu family not only wants to return the land of Shaanxi, but also the Jingxi Road, including Jinzhou. ”

Shi Yuangong put away his smile: "Farewell!" ”

"Rest easy." Song Huizong hurriedly retained.

If the negotiations break down, Song Huizong is ready to go out of Jiangnan.

Li Bangyan said: "Please understand it." ”

Shi Yuan said fairly: "Xiangcheng and Yuncheng can be returned to the Song Kingdom, and Deng, Xiang, Tang, and Sui (Nanyang Xiangyang Basin and the surrounding mountainous areas) will not obey their fate." ”

Li Bangyan looked at the emperor.

The Nanxiang Basin is also rich in Xiangyang, and the rest of the prefectures and counties are vast and sparsely populated.

If the Zhu thief occupies there, it will have little impact on the finances and taxes of the Great Song Dynasty, but the strategic significance is extremely significant. Because you can go north and fight Tokyo at any time!

Negotiations are again at an impasse.

Song Huizong was distraught, sent Shi Yuangong out of the palace, and quietly summoned Cai Jing to inquire about matters.

This responsibility is too great, and Cai Jing didn't dare to make an idea, so he only said: "The Zhu thief has already occupied it." ”

Song Huizong was depressed and had the idea of breaking the jar.

Yes, the Zhu thief has already occupied it, and there is no loss to him by terminating the negotiations, but he is afraid that the thieves will enter Tokyo.

At least you can get back Shaanxi!

Shi Yuangong was summoned for the third time, and the matter of the Nanxiang Basin was no longer mentioned.

Li Bangyan said: "Your Majesty is willing to marry Emperor Xunde, Emperor Xunde is fourteen years old, and she is a good match for Brother Chenggong." ”

Shi Yuangong said: "Is it too young? ”

"This ......," Li Bangyan explained, "the older emperors are already married. ”

Shi Yuangong said: "My lord heard that Emperor Maode is both talented and beautiful. ”

Li Bangyan said: "Emperor Maode is married to Cai Ying, the son of Lu Guogong (Cai Jing). ”

Shi Yuangong said: "You can remarry with divorce." ”

Song Huizong clenched his fists when he heard this, and the green tendons on his forehead swelled.

Li Bangyan said: "Not only is he married, but he also gave birth to a son. ”

Shi Yuangong said: "This son can be left to the Cai family." ”

Li Bangyan said: "The two emperors are sisters of the same mother, and they marry the same one. ”

Shi Yuangong said: "My lord happened to marry together. ”

Li Bangyan looked at the emperor.

Thinking about the thieves two hundred and fifty miles away, Song Huizong nodded slightly.

Li Bangyan also said: "The daughter of the seed clan can give marriage, but the daughter of the fold clan does not have to." ”

Shi Yuangong said, "Yes." ”

The negotiation was reached, and Song Huizong did not let the eunuch follow, and sat alone in the meditation room to cultivate his mind.

Soon from the quiet room, the sound of porcelain shattering came from the silence, and the eunuchs guarding the door shrank their necks in fright.

Zhu Ming deliberately asked to marry the already married emperor, just to tear off the fig leaf on Song Huizong's body!

Zhu Ming had no guilt about this, because until this time, this faint monarch was still indiscriminately recruiting Huashigang.

(Thanks to the alliance leader of the silver moon under the void for the reward, O(∩_∩)O~)
