Chapter 304: Liao-Killing Poison - Ginseng
"Liaoguo tumor?"
The officials couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Liao Guo in confusion.
Zeng Bu sneered: "I heard that Fan Taicheng has a way to heal the country, Zeng wants to hear Fan Taicheng's high opinion!" ”
The Liao State is the great enemy of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and the elites of the Great Song Dynasty are helpless against the Liao State, and he does not believe that Fan Zheng can have an evil prescription to allow the orderly Liao State to cause civil strife for no reason.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, this is the famous saying of His Majesty Taizu, but it is also applicable to the Liao State, the Liao State is different from the Song Xia, the Great Song Dynasty is all Han nationality, and the Western Xia is the world of the party members, and the Khitan of the Liao State is a multi-tribe union. ”
"You mean to incite a rebellion among the tribes within the Liao Kingdom?" Zhangdun's eyes lit up.
Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Not bad!" On the grassland, all dynasties are the weak and the strong, there are Xiongnu and Turkic in the past, and now there are Khitan in Liao, and there will be other tribes to replace Liao in the future, this is the iron law of the grassland for thousands of years, Liao has a vast territory, and adopts the tribal system, the tribes are ambitious, and Liao naturally understands in his heart that all along, Liao has suppressed the powerful tribes as much as possible, and we only need to know that Liao suppresses those tribes the hardest, and we know that those tribes pose the greatest threat to Liao. ”
"Mughal tribe!"
Lu Dafang blurted out his debut.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, the Mengwu people are the largest tribe on the grassland except for the Khitan, and they are located in the bitter cold land of the north, brave and good at fighting, the Liao State is more vigilant against it, let it continue to split, provoke it to continue to fight, if there is a male lord to unify the Mengwu tribe, it will definitely be able to threaten the rule of the Liao State." ”
Zhao Xu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Zeng Bu shook his head and said: "Although the Mengwu people may threaten the Liao State, the Liao State is divided and guarded against it, plus the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia and the Liao State are separated from it, so it is impossible to contact at all, and it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to use it." ”
The ministers couldn't help but sigh slightly, Fan Zheng's idea seemed to be feasible, but it was beyond the reach of the whip, and there was no way to implement it.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Although it is not feasible to encourage the Mengwu people to rebel against the Liao State for the time being, in the northeast, there is another tribe that is equally powerful and is also suppressed by the Liao State!" ”
"What Fan Taicheng said is the Jurchen?" Zeng Bu laughed and said, "It is even more impossible for the Jurchens to threaten the Liao State, their tribe is no more than 10,000 people, and the Liao State has 700,000 troops, the Jurchen dares to have different intentions, and the Liao State can be destroyed with a snap of a finger." ”
The other ministers also shook their heads and laughed, thinking that Fan Zheng was just a fool's dream! The Mughal tribes are more numerous, and the geographical location is special, and they may also pose a threat to the Liao State, while the Jurchens are no more than 10,000 people, so in their opinion, it is impossible to pose a threat to the Liao State.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Although the number of Jurchens is small, but its bravery is world-famous, Liao Taizu once said that "the Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and the 10,000 cannot be controlled", all along, the Liao State has doubled the pressure on the Jurchens, so that their number is always less than 10,000, the Jurchens and the Liao State have long had a blood feud, as long as the Jurchens have the opportunity, they will definitely raise troops to rebel against the Liao State. ”
Zeng Bu's face was solemn, the Jurchens were indeed brave, even in the Great Song Dynasty, the Jurchens' bravery was still circulating.
"And the Jurchen is located between the white mountains and black waters, where the jungle is dense, once the Jurchen rebels, with its brave characteristics, coupled with its special position, it will definitely become the biggest cancer in the Liao State." Fan is correct in channeling.
The ministers nodded slightly, the Jurchens were indeed a tribe that might pose a threat to the Liao State.
"It's a pity that the Jurchen is located in the bitter cold land of the Northeast, and the Great Song Dynasty can't support it either, otherwise it will ............." Zhao Xu regretted that there was obviously a way to restrain the Liao State, but they were too far apart and helpless.
Fan Zheng smiled slightly and said confidently: "Who said that the Great Song Dynasty can't support him?" ”
Lu Dafang frowned and said: "The Jurchen tribe is strong, and the Liao State is strictly guarding against it, and there is also a gap between Goryeo and Liao Tokyo, and the Great Song Dynasty also has no chance." ”
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The Great Song Dynasty does not have a way to support the Jurchen on the surface, but it is not impossible to help secretly, in the place where the Jurchen tribe is located, there is a magical medicinal material called ginseng, which can greatly replenish vitality, strengthen the heart, and calm the nerves, which can be used for all kinds of evidence of long-term weakness and lack of qi, blood and fluid, especially ginseng for more than 100 years, which can make people who are dying continue their lives. ”
"Stay alive!"
"Rise from the dead!"
The officials were in an uproar, Fan Zheng had just discovered that the first aid method could bring people back to life, and now there was another medicine that could bring people back to life.
"Really?"
Su Song frowned, although he knew that ginseng was a precious medicinal material, but he didn't know that ginseng actually had such a miraculous effect.
"Naturally, the Empress Dowager has been seriously ill for many years, and now she is still alive, relying on the thousand-year-old ginseng to continue her life, and now the thousand-year-old ginseng has almost been exhausted, Your Majesty has spared no expense to solicit the thousand-year-old ginseng, and a piece of filial piety is really moving." Fan Zheng said solemnly to Zhao Xu.
Zhang Dan's heart moved, and he hurriedly answered: "The official family is filial, and the ministers also admire it very much, and Weichen heard that this thousand-year-old ginseng is only available in Changbai Mountain." ”
The important ministers of the court are all human spirits, and when they heard the strings, they knew and said: "The official family is pure and filial, and we admire it." ”
Seeing this, Lu Dafang sighed: "The old man is old, he doesn't ask for a thousand years of ginseng, he only wants a five-hundred-year ginseng to continue his life!" ”
Zeng Bu was dumbfounded and said, "So you can make the Jurchens rebel?" ”
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, ginseng does have medicinal uses, and it is also a fact that the people use it to hang their lives, even if it is a doctor of the Liao Kingdom, they have to admit it, as soon as this policy comes out, the Liao State will not be aware of the intentions of the Great Song Dynasty at all, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji is old, and the older the emperor, the more afraid of death, which is also the reason why the Ming monarchs of the past dynasties asked for immortals in their later years, and the Liao Emperor is no exception, although he will not be mediocre to cultivate immortals, but in the face of ginseng that can continue his life, he will definitely not miss it." ”
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up and said, "Emperor Liao will definitely let the Jurchen tribe offer more thousand-year-old ginseng every year to further suppress the Jurchens." ”
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The royal families of the two countries are in need of ginseng for thousands of years, which will definitely increase the value of ginseng by ten times and a hundred times, and even ginseng with high years is hard to find. ”
The ministers nodded, and in this way, the contradictions between the Liao State and the Jurchens would increase sharply in a short period of time.
"Moreover, the price of ginseng has skyrocketed, and the Jurchen tribe is unwilling to be oppressed by the powerful of the Liao State, and will definitely avoid the powerful and resell it privately, so that it is enough to obtain a lot of money, and it will further aggravate the contradiction between the Jurchen and the Liao State."
"And at this moment, the Jurchens have reaped huge benefits from ginseng, and the strength of the tribe has further grown, and its contradictions are destined to be irreconcilable, until the Jurchens finally rebel."
Fan Zheng said loudly.
"That's a good idea!"
Zhao Xu was stunned. Fan only used a small ginseng plant to provoke a Jurchen rebellion, which is simply a stroke of genius
The ministers nodded slightly, the Liao Kingdom, which seemed impeccable to them, had so many flaws in Fan Zheng's eyes.
To implement this plan, the Great Song Dynasty spent some money to buy ginseng at most, and if it could cause civil unrest in Liao, the money could be said to be worth thousands of dollars.
"This strategy is impeccable, and it should be the best policy." Zeng Bu understood the truth and said ecstatically.
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Ginseng is a life-saving medicine, but now it has become the poison of the Liao State, the Great Song Dynasty can't even defeat the current Liao State, if the Jurchen suddenly rises and destroys the Liao State, a more powerful and barbaric Jurchen appears in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will also be in danger of destroying the country, which is why this policy is the next policy." ”
At the moment, the entire vertical arch hall is silent.
