Chapter 442: Liao's Choice
The three kingdoms of Song, Xia and Liao are adjacent to each other, and there are constant wars and wars on weekdays, and there are spies between each country to transmit news.
What's more, Li Qianshun did not hide it at all, but carried out drastic reforms.
Soon, the news of the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun's change of law spread throughout the Song and Liao countries.
"Xixia also wants to change the law?"
In the vertical arch hall, when he got the news from the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu suddenly got up and exclaimed.
He is the leader of the Great Song Dynasty's law change, and naturally understands that the Great Song Dynasty has become strong because of the law change, and now the Western Xia is also going to change the law, which Zhao Xu can't help but be imprudent.
Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, so do people, so do the national fortunes, and now the Western Xia has finally embarked on the road of changing the law, and the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun is indeed a Ming master." ”
"In this way, the northbound strategy may have to make waves out of thin air." Zhao Xu said irritably, the Western Xia changed the law, making the original situation even more confusing.
You must know that Western Xia is the first step of the Great Song Dynasty's northward detour strategy, and only by destroying the Western Xia can the Great Song Dynasty fight to the death with the Liao State without distractions, and finally unify the world, so as to complete the super unification.
And the Great Song Dynasty does not have much chance of winning against the Liao State, and there is a powerful Western Xia by his side, then I am afraid that the situation of the Great Song Dynasty is even more worrying.
"Your Majesty needs not worry! Weichen believes that the Western Xia reform is not a bad thing for the Great Song Dynasty. Fan Zheng suddenly said in surprise.
"Not a bad thing?" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The official family knows that when the Western Xia was founded, Li Yuanhao was invincible all over the world, all relying on the brutal force of the party clan. ”
Zhao Xu nodded solemnly, Li Yuanhao was not only like a god in his army, but his party iron cavalry was even more brave and good at fighting, and the Great Song Dynasty and Daliao were defeated in his hands one after another.
Fan Zhenglang said: "Although the party is brave, but it is also wild and untamed, after Li Yuanhao's death, it will cause decades of turmoil in the Western Xia, and if you want to end the turmoil in the Western Xia, you need to sinicize the Western Xia, once the Western Xia implements the sinicization, it will suddenly let Li Qianshun concentrate the imperial power, and at the same time it will weaken its bravery, maybe this is the opportunity of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Wild and sinicized!"
Zhao Xu heard Fan Zheng's analysis, and then calmed down, if the Western Xia was sinicized, it would certainly be able to stabilize the imperial power of the Western Xia, but its force would decline instead, which was not a bad thing for the Great Song Dynasty.
"Even if you take a step back, the Western Xia has succeeded in changing the law and the national strength has increased, but its territory is only one-tenth of the Great Song Dynasty, and the population is only four million, and the strength of the Great Song Dynasty is still above the Western Xia. Fan Zheng laughed at himself.
When Zhao Xu heard this, his eyes were firm and said: "I believe that with you and my monarchs and ministers, the last great unification must be the Great Song Dynasty." ”
At this moment, he is in the prime of life, the Great Song Dynasty is in the ascendant, and there are even more divine weapons such as earth-shaking thunder, as Fan Zheng said, if the Great Song Dynasty is defeated, it can only be that the Great Song Dynasty is incompetent and can't complain about others, and he will never let this happen.
However, Zhao Xu didn't know that Fan Zheng's gaze flashed with a trace of worry, in later generations, Zhao Xu had also changed his law to become stronger, and defeated Western Xia one after another, but just when the situation was getting better, Zhao Xu died young, and the good situation was ruined, and finally let the last chance of the Great Song Dynasty be buried.
Now, although after his recuperation and formulation of an exercise plan, although Zhao Xu's body has greatly improved, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, and the emperor's body with seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards is destined to fail, and even he can't guarantee that Zhao Xu will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
"I hope history doesn't repeat itself!" Fan Zheng said secretly in his heart.
Naturally, he couldn't persuade Zhao Xu not to expand the harem again, he could only use the general trend of the world to motivate Zhao Xu to work hard, as long as Zhao Xu was still ambitious, he would definitely not indulge in beauty and let his body completely collapse.
The Great Song Dynasty was waiting for the Western Xia reform and waited to see the changes, but when the news of Li Qianshun's change reached the Liao State, there was an uproar.
"What, Your Majesty changed the law in the court and promoted sinicization?"
In the capital, when Yelu Nanxian got the news of Li Qianshun's change of law, her face suddenly changed greatly, she didn't expect that not long after she came to Liao, Li Qianshun would seize power behind her back.
Both the Liao State and the Western Xia belonged to the nomadic people, advocating mounted archery, and Yelu Nanxian was naturally a staunch conservative, not to mention that he was also ready to follow the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, so he naturally stood on the side of the conservative Western Xia nobles.
Now that Li Qianshun is promoting sinicization, I am afraid that the first rule of implementation is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the intention of the Liao State to control the Western Xia is probably about to be shattered, and she is still in the Liao State, and she can't interfere in this situation at all, and when she returns to the Western Xia, I am afraid that the wood has been completed.
What embarrassed Yelu Nanxian even more was that she was arrogant in front of Yelu Nanyin with her identity as the queen of Western Xia, and now this negative person actually stabbed her in the back, making her a laughing stock.
"The royal sister is guilty and has the trust of the royal brother!"
In the palace of Liao, Yelu Nanxian wanted to cry and asked Yelu Yanxi for his guilt.
"It's really a good brother-in-law, Da Liao let Li Qianshun control the imperial power, and married the princess of Liao to him, and actually cultivated a white-eyed wolf." Yelu Yanxi was furious when he heard this.
Yelu Yanxi changed the law and implemented sinicization, obviously agreeing with the Song law in his heart, which made the Liao State as a nomadic dynasty quite dissatisfied, not to mention, the Western Xia changed the law and seized power when Yelu Nanxian sent the Liao State, so that the Liao's intention to control the Western Xia was shattered, and the plan of the entire Liao State can be said to be a chicken and egg fight.
Not to mention, Western Xia also wanted the Liao State to aid him, which made Yelu Yanxi even more angry.
Yelu Nanxian's heart was suddenly cold, Li Qianshun promoted Sinicization and seized power in Western Xia, and was dissatisfied with it in Yelu Yanxi in Daliao, which made her two people not human.
"Brother Huang, don't blame Sister Nanxian, Sister Nanxian came to mourn for the emperor's grandfather, and she didn't know it, this matter is not Sister Nanxian's fault." Unexpectedly, Yelu Nanyin on the side spoke out to defend Yelu Nanxian.
"Humph!"
Seeing his own sister's persuasion, Yelu Yanxi's anger calmed down slightly.
"Thank you, Sister Nanyin!"
Yelu Nanxian was dissatisfied, but he had to express his gratitude to Yelu Nanyin.
Yelu Nanyin looked at Yelu Yanxi and said, "The imperial sister thinks that the imperial brother not only can't blame the Western Xia, but will continue to aid the Western Xia. ”
"I want to continue to aid Western Xia, the imperial sister is laughing."
Yelu Yanxi looked at Yelu Nanyin with an incredulous expression, he didn't expect that his sister would have to help Xixia.
Yelu Nanyin said solemnly: "If Li Qianshun is really cowardly, no matter how much aid Da Liao has, it is destined to be in vain, and now he dares to change the law and gather power, so that Da Liao will look at him a lot!" ”
"Can you talk about that?"
Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Yelu Nanyin in confusion.
"As an emperor, the imperial brother must know the emperor's style, if the imperial brother is in the position of his brother-in-law, he will definitely centralize the power to change the law, after all, the Great Song Dynasty has successfully changed the law, and the brother-in-law imitates the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, which is naturally logical."
Yelu Nanyin explained.
"What the imperial sister said is very true!"
Yelu Nanxian hurriedly agreed. Now that she has married to Xixia, Xixia is her backer anyway, and she can only help Xixia as much as possible.
"But Western Xia is promoting sinicization?" Yelu Yanxi was indignant.
"The implementation of sinicization does not mean taking refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, Song Xia is a mortal enemy, and it is impossible to coexist peacefully, not to mention, the stronger the Western Xia, the more it can contain the Great Song Dynasty, which is more valuable than a weak Western Xia!" Yelu Nanyin calmly analyzed.
Yelu Yanxi was slightly persuaded that the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia had attacked each other over the years, and it was impossible to turn the war into a jade silk, and the Western Xia had suffered two major defeats, and the country had long been in danger, and it was possible to pose a threat to the Great Song Dynasty after changing the law and becoming stronger.
"Then the aid that the Liao State is going to give to Western Xia?" Yelu Nanxian asked cautiously.
"Didn't he Li Qianshun change the law to become stronger, and what kind of assistance do you need from Liao?" Yelu Yanxi snorted coldly.
Yelu Nanxian's face was suddenly embarrassed, her power in Western Xia had been taken away, if she couldn't go back with the assistance of the Liao State, I am afraid that her status would be even lower in the future.
Yelu Nanyin hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will persuade the imperial brother, it's a big deal, my sister will make up for you from the share of the Silk Road." ”
Yelu Nanyin controlled the Silk Road, and the wealth he controlled was innumerable, and the slightest omission of a share made the Western Xia ecstatic.
"Thank you, Sister Huang!" Yelu Nanxian said with great joy.
Seeing Yelu Nanxian leave happily, Yelu Yanxi looked at Yelu Nanyin with dissatisfaction and said, "Why does the imperial sister help her so much, don't you know that she is not compatible with you?" ”
Yelu Nanyin said disapplausively: "Of course the imperial sister knows, but even if it doesn't match, Nanxian has already married Xixia, so what can I do." ”
"And you're doing your best to help her?" Yelu Yanxi looked at her sister puzzled.
Yelu Nanyin is her own sister, but Yelu Nanxian is a side branch, and Yelu Yanxi doesn't like it at all.
Yelu Nanyin shook his head and said: "The imperial sister is not to help her, but for the Liao State, now the Great Song Dynasty is too strong, the current Western Xia is too weak, and it is not a threat to the Great Song Dynasty at all, and even more, the Great Song Dynasty can easily destroy the Western Xia, and at that time, the Great Song Dynasty will get a large number of war horses from the Western Xia, and it will definitely increase its strength. ”
Liao's aid to Western Xia was not equivalent to spending money to buy peace, but a kind of charity, more of a use of Western Xia.
"The royal sister is really talented!" Yelu Yanxi's heart was knotted, and he laughed.
"If the law is changing today, the imperial sister also wants to see the results of the implementation of sinicization in the Western Xia, after all, the Western Xia and the Liao State have similar national conditions, both are mixed farming and animal husbandry, and there are a large number of Han people, and the Liao State can change the law according to the Western Xia, and change the law in the future, so that the Liao State will be more powerful." Yelu Nanyin said wisely.
However, Yelu Yanxi sneered: "Change the law, why change the law, the reason why Song Xia changed the law is because of the decline of its national strength, my Liao country is now in full swing, why do you need to change the law?" ”
"Brother Huang, think twice!" Yelu Nanyin persuaded.
Yelu Yanxi sneered: "The implementation of sinicization will only make the Great Liao abolish its martial arts, not only will I not promote the sinicization, but will continue to carry forward the tradition of the Great Liao cavalry and archery, so that the Great Liao soldiers will be strong and strong, and they can use force to dominate the world in the future." ”
Yelu Nanyin couldn't help but be silent, she didn't know if Yelu Yanxi's method was correct, and carrying forward the tradition of Da Liao's cavalry archery could indeed give Da Liao an advantage by force.
However, it is not smooth sailing inside the Liao State, among which the Liao and Han are not in harmony, and the grassland is also lined with various departments, and now the Liao State is strong and can be suppressed, once the Liao army is defeated, the entire Liao State may be in danger of falling apart.
"The imperial sister doesn't need to worry, if you want to unify the world, you must have a strong force, and carrying forward the cavalry and archery is the foundation of the Liao country, and wait until the Western Xia implements sinicization and loses the nomadic bravery, at that time, after the Great Liao destroyed the Song State, he destroyed the Western Xia and completely unified the world." Yelu Yanxi was ambitious.
"Brother Huang is wise!" Yelu Nanyin saw that Yelu Yanxi could not be persuaded to do so, so he could only give up helplessly.
Yelu Yanxi laughed and said: "Imperial sister, don't worry, when I destroy the Great Song Dynasty, I will definitely arrest the evil doctor Fan Zheng and use it as a horse for you." ”
How could Yelu Yanxi not know the thoughts of the imperial sister, he and the imperial grandfather found a few horses for her, but they were not satisfied, and it was obvious that they were still in love with the evil doctor Fan Zheng.
Yelu Nanyin, who is a strong woman, was immediately ashamed when she heard this: "Brother Huang, don't talk nonsense, the imperial sister is willing not to marry for life, and she will definitely be dedicated to Da Liao in this life." ”
Seeing Yelu Nanyin fleeing in the wilderness, Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but smile, how could he not know his sister's careful thoughts.
For the happiness of his own sister, he also wants to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and complete the unification.
Looking at the intelligence of the Sinicization of Western Xia, Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but sneer, this time, he wanted to do the opposite, if he wanted to ensure the strong combat power of the Liao army, he had to carry forward the bravery of the grassland, and the bravery of the grassland was from hunting.
"Come on, spread my will, I want to go to Changbai Mountain to hunt, let the leaders of the Jurchen tribes accompany me!" Yelu Yanxi immediately ordered.
"What? Your Majesty is going hunting? ”
Xiao Wuna, the prime minister of the Liao State, was shocked when he heard this, who would have thought that Yelu Yanxi had just succeeded to the throne and was going to hunt, how could this be the appearance of the Ming monarch.
At that moment, Xiao Wuna immediately wrote a letter of advice.
However, he was disliked by Yelu Yanxi, and hunting was a way for him to plan to arouse the courage of the Liao State, so naturally he did not tolerate anyone to stop him.
Moreover, there is a famous saying in the Great Song Dynasty, which is called to settle the inside first, and if the Liao State wants to dominate the world, it needs both money and hidden dangers, and the Jurchen tribes have both natural treasures such as ginseng, and they are also hidden dangers of the Great Liao.
In this hunt, he wants to completely conquer the Jurchens, and he wants to clear the obstacles for the Liao State.
At that moment, Yelu Yanxi led the cavalry of the personal guards, as well as the famous Tielin Army of the Liao State, and went straight to Changbai Mountain.
At this point, the three kingdoms of Song, Xia and Liao have all embarked on the road of changing the law, but they are three completely different paths.
The Great Song Dynasty was naturally completely sinicized, and although the Western Xia learned from the Great Song Dynasty to promote sinicization, its founding was dominated by the party clan, and it was inevitable that the customs of the nomads would be retained, and the Han Yi could be taken into account.
The Liao State is not advancing or retreating, directly returning the Liao State to the bravery of the barbarian tribes, and the contemporary emperor personally promotes hunting to revitalize the country's prestige.
However, no one can say that their own is right, and that other people's methods are wrong, after all, no one can tell the winner until the last moment. (End of chapter)
