Yanyun Sixteen States!

Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji stood on the wall of Nanjing in Liao, looking south!

"It is still the blessing of the southerners, the climate is mild, and the products are abundant, unlike my Daliao who has lived in the bitter cold land of the north for generations." Yelu Hongji felt the warm wind blowing in his face and couldn't help but sigh.

Nanjing, Liao, is the area of Beijing in later generations, the climate has been greatly warmed in late spring, and at noon, when the sun shines, there are even faint traces of sweat.

Yelu Yanxi complimented on the side: "Don't be anxious about the emperor's grandfather, this battle is a joint army sent by Liaoxia, if the Great Song Dynasty is acquainted, he will obediently pay the New Year's coin, if he doesn't know each other, then don't blame the two countries for sharing the Great Song Dynasty, then my Great Liao can enjoy the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Yelu Hongji couldn't help but feel a burst of blood boiling when he heard this, but quickly calmed down and said: "The time to destroy the Song Dynasty is not yet ripe, now the Great Song Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, and there are more earth-shaking thunder to defend the city, once the war starts, I am afraid that my Da Liao will also be a miserable victory, but don't forget, the Central Plains Dynasty of all dynasties has not conquered the grassland, and only the grassland departments can replace the Great Liao." ”

Although Yelu Hongji is old, but he is also very shrewd, on the grassland, to be strong, now the Great Liao is strong, in order to command the grassland, once the Liao State suffers heavy losses, I am afraid that those small tribes who surrender will be like a pack of wolves around, tearing the Great Liao to pieces.

Today's Yelu Hongji's biggest abacus is to let the Great Song not only continue to cooperate with the Silk Road, but also let the Great Song continue to transport New Year's coins, continue to weaken the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, let the Liao State accumulate strength.

"Imperial grandfather is wise!"

Yelu Yanxi complimented.

The grandfather and grandson looked at the south from afar, and their hearts suddenly aroused ambition.

Suddenly, Yelu Zhangnu hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qiyu's grandson, the Great Song Dynasty has sent a letter of state, accusing the Liao State of betraying the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and destroying the hundred-year peace in a flash. ”

Yelu Yanxi couldn't help sneering when he heard this: "The Song people are still as hard-mouthed as ever, and now that Liaoxia has jointly sent troops, what if they have betrayed the Yuanyuan Alliance?" ”

Yelu Hongji waved his hand and said: "Liao is a big country in the world, how can it take the initiative to break the contract, and the Great Liao sent troops is because the Song people betrayed the agreement between the two countries on the Silk Road and opened the Maritime Silk Road privately. ”

"What the emperor's grandfather said is very true!" Yelu Yanxi echoed.

Yelu Zhangnu said with a strange face: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the envoy of the Song State also said that the Liao State has benefited more than one million yuan on the Silk Road, and there is no conflict of interest between the Great Song Dynasty and the Silk Road on the South Seas, if the Liao State takes the initiative to tear up the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Song State will ............." ”

"What does Song Guo want?" Yelu Hongji's face sank.

Yelu Zhangnu lowered his head and reported: "If the Liao State takes the initiative to send troops, no matter whether the battle is won or lost, there will be no peace between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, and the Great Song Dynasty will have a cold war with the Liao State just like the Western Xia, interrupting the cooperation between the field and the Silk Road!" ”

"Cold War!"

Yelu Hongji's eyes suddenly froze.

The strategy of the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the Western Xia is naturally obvious to all, once the field and the two countries are interrupted, the fragile Western Xia economy is immediately on the verge of collapse, the Liao State is strong, although it is stronger than the Western Xia, but a lot of materials need to be traded from the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the Silk Road with an annual income of millions of runs.

Once the Great Song Dynasty continued the Cold War against Liao, Liao would suffer heavy losses, but on the contrary, Liao had the Maritime Silk Road, and its interests were not greatly damaged.

"Song Guo dares to threaten Da Liao like this, Sun Er, please immediately send troops to attack Song Guo, and Song Guo will definitely submit!" Yelu Yanxi said angrily.

He didn't expect that Song not only rejected Liao's conditions, but also threatened Liao.

Yelu Hongji's heart flashed with anger, he didn't expect Song Guo's actions to be so tough.

"Don't worry, there must be demons when things are abnormal, come and find out the military situation of the Great Song Dynasty immediately!" Yelu Hongji sneered.

At the moment, the secret agents of the Liao State were exhausted, and soon the deployment of the Song army was all investigated.

"Song Jun five roads in one! The privy envoy Zeng Bu is the commander-in-chief! Yelu Hongji couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty would have such courage, and he would take the initiative to give up the Song Dynasty's traditional strategy of dividing troops into five roads, and chose to integrate the five roads.

"Earthquake Thunder!"

"Iron Float, Kidnapping Horse!"

"300,000 troops!"

Although the Western Xia offensive was more fierce, everyone knows that the Liao State has the strongest troops, and in order to guard against the Liao State, the Great Song Dynasty has mobilized 300,000 troops to defend the Liao State.

When he received the military report from the Song army, Yelu Hongji's face was solemn.

"Tiefutu and the kidnapping horse can't destroy Qingtang's cavalry?" Yelu Yanxi frowned.

"Not bad!" Yelu Hongji took a deep breath and said, "Back then, the Great Song Jingsai army was only 3,000 people, and now the Great Song Dynasty's Iron Floating Slaughter is as high as tens of thousands, which is probably the confidence of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"I also have the Tielin Army in Da Liao, which is enough to be proud of the world!" Yelu Yanxi said confidently.

At that time, the Western Xia Iron Harrier, the Great Song Jingsai Army, and the Liao Iron Forest Army were all famous equipped cavalry, and now the Great Song Dynasty formed 10,000 cavalry Tiefutu on the basis of the Jingsai Army, which can be described as a multiplication of strength.

Yelu Hongji frowned and said: "There are only more than 10,000 Tielin troops in the Great Liao, and most of the cold forging armor on the body is also from the Western Xia, once the battle damage is extremely difficult to replenish, and the Great Song Dynasty cracked the cold forging armor of the Western Xia, which is enough to make a large number of cold forging armor, the Great Song Dynasty can be defeated, but the Liao State cannot be defeated." ”

Among the Three Kingdoms, Song and Xia all controlled the cold forging armor technology, but only the most powerful Liao State did not control the cold forging armor.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty still has a strong city to defend, and with the earth-shattering thunder and 300,000 troops to defend it, the Liao State may not have much chance of winning this battle.

"What does the imperial grandfather mean!" Yelu Yanxi said irritablely.

Yelu Hongji said coldly: "What are you panicking, the initiative in this battle lies in my Great Liao, if the Liao State does not fight, the Great Song Dynasty will not dare to take the initiative to attack, our army only needs to contain most of the Song army here, once the Xia army on the Western Xia border wins, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely succumb." ”

Yelu Hongji was old, and although he agreed to send troops, he did not really have the determination to fight the Song army with all his might, and his goal was to make the Great Song surrender and continue to weaken the Great Song Dynasty.

Yelu Yanxi cooperated: "Although the Liao State only needs to contain the strength of the Song army, but it can't only garrison troops in Nanjing, but also ask the emperor's grandfather to garrison the border of the Great Song Dynasty, if you can find the flaws of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State will immediately attack and completely destroy the Song Kingdom, if you don't find an opportunity, you can also let the Great Song Dynasty have all the soldiers, not only contain the Great Song troops, but also allow the people of the Great Song Dynasty to continue to run the Royal Bank!" ”

Yelu Yanxi's strategy can be described as not evil, in this way, the Great Song Dynasty is full of soldiers, not only makes the Song army exhausted, consumes its money and food, but also destroys the fledgling royal bank.

"Yes!"

Yelu Hongji looked at Yelu Yanxi, it was time and time to let him take control of the army.

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed.

At the moment, the elite of the Liao army was exhausted and stationed on the border of the Liao and Song Songs.

The Song army suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy, and immediately scouted one after another to explore the movements of the Liao army, and the major cities continued to build fortifications day and night.

"The Liao army is overwhelmed!"

With the movements of the Liao army, the news soon spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty, and soon, the news that Song Liao was about to go to war flew all over the sky.

Sometimes, even three shocks a day, and even the news of the defeat of the Song army came out, and the people were panicked.

Under wave after wave of rumors, the Royal Bank, which had just stabilized, once again set off a run.

"Qi Fan Taicheng, now the rumors of the Liao army are continuous, and the people have begun to withdraw a large amount of money even at the risk of loss." The treasurer of the Royal Bank said helplessly.

"How much have you taken so far?" Fan Zheng frowned.

The treasurer of the Royal Bank said bitterly: "I have already withdrawn 30 million yuan, if it is not supported by the treasury money, I am afraid that the Royal Bank has no cash circulation." ”

Fan Zheng frowned, he naturally knew that before the war between the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty started, the Qingmiao money of Wanguan had already taken out 30 million guan, if the battle of Liaoxia was lost, I am afraid that more people would run on the royal bank.

"Master Fan, or I'll take back the Qingmiao money in advance!" The treasurer of the Royal Bank proposed.

It's not that the Royal Bank is out of money, but a lot of money has been lent out as seedling money, and now that the bank is short of money, a lot of money can be recovered.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "If you take back the Qingmiao money at this moment, I am afraid it will make the economy of the Great Song Dynasty even worse." ”

"But!" The treasurer of the Royal Bank wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Fan Zheng.

"The money supervisor minted a silver coin and used the money first!" Fan Zheng said solemnly, Fan Zheng set up the Royal Bank is not without a family background, when the silver coins were minted, it was nine silver and one copper, and over time, it accumulated a lot of money, and now with the help of the Royal Bank, the silver and silver hidden by the people of the world are collected by the Royal Bank, and the coinage supervisor makes a lot of money, and the amount of money is not a small amount.

"The subordinate obeys!" The treasurer of the Royal Bank reluctantly took the order.

……………………

Fan Zheng had just finished settling the matter of the Royal Bank when he was urgently summoned into the palace by Zhao Xu.

"What, Zhang Qi took the initiative to attack from Pingxia City?"

When he got the news, Fan Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Qi to be so bold that he would send Chong Pu to take the initiative to attack from Pingxia City and wantonly destroy the farmland in Western Xia.

"The minister agrees with this policy, the Western Xia has been weakened by the Great Song Dynasty Cold War, and lost two battles in Pingxia City, and the army has long been inferior to before, and now the Great Song Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, fighting in the territory of Western Xia, and the land of Western Xia farming in this battle will be destroyed." Su Song agreed.

"In this way, the war between Song and Xia has become a foregone conclusion, and the most important thing at the moment is that the Great Song Dynasty is best to avoid fighting on two fronts, and must try its best to appease the Liao State." Lu Dafang frowned.

Zhang Dian thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to pretend to agree to the requirements of the Liao State, once the Western Xia is defeated, it will not be too late for the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate with the Liao State." ”

"No! I have said that if you don't cut the land, you won't get old coins, even if you pretend to agree! Zhao Xu said resolutely.

He was young and vigorous, and naturally he was not willing to make any compromises.

Baiguan frowned suddenly, although the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty has increased, and it is supported by tens of millions of national bonds, if it faces the attack of the two countries of Liaoxia at the same time, even if the two countries are repelled in the end, the Great Song Dynasty will suffer heavy losses.

At this moment, suddenly a guard hurriedly came to report: "Qi Qi Guan's family, Tong Guan Tong's father-in-law has returned safely from Nanyang." ”

Baiguan couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered that Tong Guan had been in the South Seas for nearly a year, and now that he had returned safely, he would definitely return with a full load.

If they usually get this news, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty must be extremely excited, and now that the war between Liaoxia and the Great Song Dynasty is imminent, even if Tong Guan returns from Nanyang and brings back a lot of money, I am afraid it will not help.

Fan Zheng's heart moved: "Where is Tong Guan's fleet now?" ”

The guard replied: "Back to Fan Taicheng, the Di newspaper was sent back from Guangzhou, counting the days, Master Tong should have already returned to the ship, and he will arrive in Dengzhou in a few days." ”

Fan Zheng said solemnly to Zhao Xu when he heard this: "There is one side of the minister, but the Liao army can be thrown into the mouse trap and dare not move the army." ”

"Really?" Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "Zhang Xianggong's policy is not unreasonable, Song Liao Chengping for a hundred years, no one dares to break the peace easily, and with the greed of Liao, it must have come to seek wealth, since this is the case, then give Liao money, of course, it is not a year coin, but a sale, just like Tong Guan represents the Great Song Dynasty and the Nanyang countries. ”

"Buying and selling between countries?"

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Fan Zheng in puzzlement.

Fan Zheng explained: "The Liao State needs the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty naturally needs the goods of the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom has many war horses, cattle and sheep, and the Great Song Dynasty urgently needs the ginseng, deer antler velvet and other treasures of the White Mountain and Black Water, as well as the rare treasures brought back by Princess Yelu from the Western Regions, and the Great Song Dynasty gathered these goods together and ordered millions of goods from the Liao State." ”

"Millions of pounds of goods."

Baiguan was suddenly shocked, this is probably the biggest transaction in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Yes, the Liao State has gained a lot of money, and the Great Song Dynasty has not lost its national body, and it can also make a lot of money by reselling the goods of the Liao Kingdom." Fan Zheng said confidently.

Lu Dafang frowned and said: "Fan Taicheng is too taken for granted, what the Liao State wants is a coin that is not earned for nothing, not a sale." ”

As the prime minister, he naturally knew the greed of the Liao State, and since the Liao State could rob it, how could he be willing to pay for the goods and trade seriously.

"Since there is a temptation, then there is naturally coercion, my Great Song Dynasty may not be as good as the Liao army, and the infantry may not be better than the Liao army, but there is an army that will defeat the Liao army, that is, the navy." Fan Zheng said confidently.

"Trolls?"

Baiguan couldn't help but be stunned, the navy was originally an ornament, since the establishment of the navy, there has never been a battle, especially against the Liao army, which is famous for its cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty has never thought of using a navy.

"Besides, not all of today's sailors escort Tong Guan to open up the Maritime Silk Road." Zhang Duan frowned.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, now Tong Guan has returned, and there are thousands of merchant ships with him, in Nanyang, the imperial court sailors escort the safety of these merchant ships, and now it is time for these merchant ships to contribute to the country, Weichen implored the official family to order, let Tong Guan not anchor in Dengzhou Port, but directly lead the fleet to the Bohai Sea, and threaten Nanjing, Liao State!" ”

"Shhh

All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief, and no one thought that Fan Zheng would come up with such an evil formula.

Once Tong Guan led the imperial court sailors and thousands of merchant ships to gather in Bohai Bay, such a magnificent momentum was enough to deter the Liao army, not to mention that the Liao army had no naval army that could compete with the Great Song Dynasty, which was enough to make the Liao army throw a rat into a trap and dare not start a war easily.

"This evil recipe is wonderful!" Zhang Dian couldn't help but be stunned, and the shooting was amazing.

Once the Great Song naval army shocked the Liao army, there was nothing to worry about in Western Xia alone, and the Great Song Dynasty would win this battle.

"The ministers agree with this evil formula!" The officials of the Manchu Dynasty turned their worries into joys.

"Quasi-play, pass on Tong Guan, and act according to Fan Taicheng's evil formula!" Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this.

And Fan Zheng, who is the biggest hero, turned pale, why his upright strategy was considered an evil party by the court, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty called it an evil party, but he did not hesitate to implement it.
