Jin Guo, Shangjing.

Li Shi, the deputy envoy of Luoyuan, was drinking and listening to music, no matter how short of food the Jin Kingdom was, the children of the Liaoyang clan could still spend all day drinking.

Li Shi was not yet twenty years old, and he was already the hereditary Mouke of the Jin State, and then he was appointed as the marching Meng'an.

For the first two years, he worked as a clerical officer beside the Golden Vultures. Due to his frequent corruption and lack of ability, Jin Wushu was extremely disgusted with him, and threw him as a deputy protocol envoy when Yan Zonggan changed the official system.

This year, relying on the support of his brother-in-law (Wanyan Zongfu), Li Shi was quickly promoted to the deputy envoy of Luoyuan.

This position belongs to the high-ranking military attaché of the Qing Dynasty, and he can be promoted and released at any time.

When the wine was hot, a servant suddenly came in and whispered a few words beside Li Shi.

"Keep drinking, I'll come when I go!"

Li Shi staggered to his feet, said a word to the guests, and went down to the backyard with the help of the servants.

When he came to the study and retired from the servant, Li Shi asked, "Brother, what do you know?" ”

Clan brother Li Jin did not answer, but looked out of the window. Then he closed the window and said in a low voice: "I have inquired clearly, the Ming army is stationed in various border cities. Baozhou has increased its troops to at least 30,000 or 40,000, and Luanzhou also has tens of thousands. In the port of Dengzhou in Shandong Province of the Ming Kingdom, a fleet of ships arrived every three or five days, and it was estimated that all of them were military rations. ”

"What do the other tribes think?" Li Shi asked.

Li Jin said: "I don't dare to ask too obviously, but I guess I plan to wait for the opportunity." It is naturally best to assist Dajin in repelling the Ming army, but the war is unfavorable, and it is the priority to keep the family. ”

These Liaoyang clans are all married to the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, and they will not betray unless they have to.

However, they are ready to rebel against gold!

Li Shi asked, "Have you made contact with Ming Guo's fine work?" What conditions did they offer? ”

Li Jin said: "As long as the Ming army besieges Liaoyang, I, the Li family, raise fire in the city to create chaos, we can keep the houses, shops and fields." However, the slaves and maids in the household must be released and re-signed the employment deeds. The serfs who ploughed the fields were also to be released, and the Ming court would divide the land among these serfs. In addition, it is necessary to split some clansmen and disperse and migrate to Youzhou to cultivate. If the Li clan can seize a city gate, they can nominate a clansman to be the commander of the Ming county. ”

"If you talk about it in such detail, and you are calculating, it should be that the sincerity of the real Ming Dynasty is very strong." Li Shi judged.

Li Jin asked, "Do you really want to be enlightened?" ”

Li Shi said: "Naturally, you can't easily descend to Ming, what if Dajin repels the Ming army?" But if Daming really besieged Liaoyang, it would be difficult for Dajin warriors to resist, and at this time, Jianming was just aware of current affairs. ”

Li Jin nodded and said: "This is a foolproof strategy, whether it is Liao or Jin or Ming, our Li clan cannot fall after all." ”

Historically, Li Shi has only done one serious thing in his life.

That is, after the failure of Yan Liang's southern expedition, Li Shi united with the major families in Liaoyang, raised troops to support his sister in a coup d'état, and established his nephew as the emperor of the Jin State.

In addition, he is all in the middle of an official life, and he keeps making mistakes.

For example, taking advantage of the grain in the official warehouse, such as making a major mistake in diplomacy with the Western Xia.

But no matter how he makes mistakes, Li Shi can always keep his glory and wealth. Who made his nephew emperor? He was even posthumously crowned a prince of the kingdom.

This man has mediocre domestic, military, and diplomatic skills, but he knows how to assess the situation and is stronger than factional struggles, and knows when to make what choices.

If you marry the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, you can't betray Jin and surrender to Ming?

Hehe, Li Shi's ancestor Li Xianshou, because he saved the life of the emperor of Liao, was treated by the Liao lord as an uncle, and was directly given 100,000 mu of land. The result? When the Jin soldiers came, Li Ma Yu surrendered.

The Liao State is as kind to the Li family as a mountain, and the Li family can reduce the gold.

Jin Guo is not so kind to the Li family, of course, the Li family can also be enlightened.

……

Changsong Island (Changxing Island).

A merchant ship that was originally bound for Baozhou left the team halfway to trade with Jinguo.

Barter, silk and linen from the Ming Dynasty, in exchange for pearls and furs from the Kingdom of Jin.

At the same time of smuggling, he also served as a double agent.

Instead of ignoring it, the officials of the Jin State also obtained information from the mouths of businessmen and made meritorious contributions.

The governance policy of the Jin State is to let the Bohai people rule the Bohai Sea. From Liaoyang to Lushun, there are all Bohai officials, and they can do business with the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally cooperate with the green light all the way.

"What's the matter?" The Bohai merchant in charge of receiving the goods asked.

Daming maritime merchants looked embarrassed: "The two countries are about to fight, and the government is investigating more and more strictly." If it weren't for my father-in-law, who was a relative of Qian Gelao, this shipment would not have been able to be transported. ”

The merchant of the Bohai tribe sighed: "Alas, forget it, how many count." Can you bring in food? In the past two months, the price of grain in Liaoyang has skyrocketed, and as long as it arrives, it can make a lot of money. ”

Daming maritime merchants waved their hands again and again: "If it can't be shipped, I still want to live for a few more years!" ”

The two of them went to inspect the goods and left when the loading was completed.

Just as he was inspecting the goods, a young man dressed as a coolie came over and said in a low voice: "My name is Gao Song, I was born in the Gao family of Chengzhou, and my uncle is Gao Jingshan of Wanhu in Jinguo. ”

Daming Haishang was shocked: "Your uncle wants to surrender?" ”

"If it falls, what promise does Daming have?" Takamatsu asked.

Daming Maritime Merchant said: "Look how it falls." Is it to raise fire in Chengzhou as an internal response, or to help seize the gate of Chengzhou, or to bring the army to surrender? No matter what, you can keep Chengzhou Gao's safe. ”

Gao Song asked, "What if you lead your troops to surrender?" ”

Daming Haishang said: "If you lead your troops to surrender, Uncle Ling can continue to lead the troops." But he can no longer lead his own tribe, and must be transferred to another place as a general. As for how many troops he can lead in the future, it depends on how many troops he brings to surrender. If you can still make meritorious service when destroying gold, you will be rewarded with another reward. ”

Gao Song saw that someone was coming again, and whispered, "Farewell." ”

The Bohai tribe of Jin has three major Gao clans, namely Liaoyang Gao, Chenzhou Gao, and Chengzhou Gao.

If the Ming army marched towards Liaoyang, Chengzhou would be a must-pass place.

After Zhu Ming crossed the sea and gained a firm foothold, he was about to attack Chengzhou soon, so the Chengzhou Gao clan was very worried.

In addition, last year's domestic political reform in Jinshan also made Gao Jingshan very unhappy.

The heroes of all ethnic groups can no longer serve as magistrates, and they also mix the Bohai tribes with sand. Gao Jingshan was transferred to Guide (Fushun) as a military general, and he could not interfere in civil affairs. Although his identity is still ten thousand households, he does not have a few standing troops in his hands, and only when he is about to fight will he send Gao Jingshan back to his hometown to recruit troops.

In the Jin Kingdom, the more mixed up the military power is restricted, and the hometown will soon be attacked, why can't Lao Tzu surrender?

Historically, Gao Jingshan and Gao Song, the two uncles and nephews, successively worked as ten thousand households under the hands of Jin Wushu.

Gao Jingshan was killed by Yue Fei, but Gao Song died a good death.

Takamatsu left, and another person came.

The man whispered, "I was sent by the Great Prince. ”

Daming Maritime Shang was stunned: "The prince of the Jin Kingdom? ”

"Take it!"

A letter slipped into the merchant's hand, and the man turned around and left.

Daming Maritime Shang was completely stunned.

The prince of the Jin Kingdom has a foreign enemy? What the heck!

"Hurry up and load the goods, and return quickly!" The merchant called his deputy and whispered an admonition.

Three days later, the merchant ship returned to Shandong, and a secret letter was sent to Youzhou.

Zhu Mingzheng, accompanied by Li Bao, went to inspect Wang Yan's troops in the direction of Xifengkou, and was planning to go to Yue Fei's side to have a look.

Here comes the secret letter.

Zhu Ming opened it with his own hands, his expression was extremely exciting, and then handed it to Li Bao: "The prince of the Jin Kingdom sent it." ”

Li Bao took the secret letter and read it, and was so shocked that his vest sweated: "What a poisonous strategy!" ”

After Yan Zonghan's plan to lure the enemy in-depth, it is estimated that Zhang Guangdao will not be fooled.

Because after the Jin soldiers withdrew, Zhang Guangdao first divided his troops to occupy several states in Yunzhong, and then he must have sent a small force of cavalry to recover those small grassland tribes in tandem. At most, it will take over the direction of Juyong Pass and connect the battlefields of northern Jin and Youzhou.

And what about Li Bao?

Most of them plunged headlong into the trap set by Yan Zonghan.

He himself used his troops aggressively, and if Wanyan Zonghan feinted defeat and withdrew his troops, Li Bao would think that he was affected by the Liaodong battlefield. The terrain at the northern foot of Yanshan is complicated, and Li Bao led the army to rush forward, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would overturn.

Think about the scene when tens of thousands of troops were trapped and the grain route was completely cut off...... Li Bao was shocked.

In addition to being shocked, Li Bao inevitably thought more: "The eldest son of the puppet emperor of the Jin State, how could he leak the military information to us?" I'm afraid there is a fraud! ”

"It doesn't matter if he cheats or not, it's better for you to be careful with Zhang Guangdao," Zhu Ming said, "Baozhou should also be careful, lest it really be attacked by the Jinren fireboat." ”

Li Bao said: "I asked Yue Fei to lead elite soldiers to guard the grain road, he is cautious and bold, there should be no problems." Just as this letter is true, the plan will set a trap, as long as Yue Fei can hold it for a day or two, I will lead the army to encircle and annihilate the elite of the Jin Kingdom! ”

This secret letter not only leaked the overall military plan of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongfu, but also took the opportunity to ask for submission and submission.

Wanyan Zongpan only wants to keep the territory west of Xianping Mansion, as well as half of Posu Road and half of Lazy Road, and the rest of the land is ceded to Daming. Moreover, the Jin State was a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and from then on it was about the country of father and son.

To put it more easily enough, the Jin State only retained Jilin, Heilongjiang, and many Russian lands in later generations.

In addition, Wanyan Zongpan also said that his younger sister was young and beautiful, and he wanted to marry Zhu Ming as a concubine......

As long as the Ming army defeated Wanyan Zonghan's main force, Wanyan Zongpan immediately joined forces with the nobles to engage in political purges.

Zhu Ming sent someone to report to Zhang Guangdao and Zheyan, but he took the secret letter and looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Yan Zongpan is really a talent." ”

In fact, Wanyan Zongpan had no choice.

In history, it was he who quietly let Qin Hui go, and he was also the one who advocated the return of Shaanxi and Henan to Zhao Gou.

In the end, he, along with several younger brothers, and a large group of Jin nobles, were all killed by the main battle faction as a rebel.

The domestic infighting in Jinjin is getting more and more serious, and sooner or later it will be a life-and-death situation.

Wanyan Zongpan might as well fight, maybe he can be a partial prince.

He was now worried all day long, for fear that Zong Han, Zong Gan, Zong Fu and others would join forces and lead troops into the imperial city to slaughter him.

If you can be the prince of Bi'an, wouldn't it be better than this kind of ghost life?
