Chapter 445: Returning from the West

"It just doesn't make sense! Why did the evil doctor Fan Zheng interfere in the affairs of my Wanyan tribe. Before Yan Yashu could speak, Ah Guda suddenly said angrily.

According to the tradition of the Jurchen brother and the end brother, although Ah Guda is also one of the heirs, it is ranked after Wan Yan Wu Ya Shu, that is to say, after Wan Yan Yingge dies, it will be passed to Wan Yan Wu Ya Shu, and after Wan Yan Wu Ya Shu dies, it will be passed to Wan Yan Ah Gu Da, which is the most normal process of brother and brother.

However, the evil doctor Fan Zheng directly asked the Wanyan tribe to directly cross the Wanyan Wuyashu and directly pass it on to Aguta, directly breaking the tradition of brother to brother.

"Second brother is angry, now that my Wanyan tribe wants to rise, I must rely on the Great Song Dynasty, and I can't hate the evil doctor Fan Zheng!" Wanyan Wuya said in a deep voice.

Ah Guda couldn't help but stagnate, he naturally knew the current situation of the Wanyan tribe, without the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty, the Wanyan tribe would not be able to unify the Jurchens and fight against the Great Liao.

"Big brother, Ah Guda will never collude with the Great Song Dynasty!" Ah Guta hurriedly expressed his heart to the eldest brother Wanyan Wuyashu, lest the eldest brother misunderstand that he had colluded with the Great Song Dynasty to seize the position of the chief of the Wanyan tribe.

He has an excellent relationship with his eldest brother Wanyan Wu Yashu, and he is unwilling to affect his brother's feelings because of this matter, not to mention that according to the tradition of the elder brother of the Liao State, one day, he can also ascend to the throne, he is not so urgent for the position of chief, and he will not take the initiative to collude with the Song people to seek the position of chief.

Wanyan Wuyashu nodded with a wry smile and said: "Big brother believes in you, with the status of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, he naturally looks down on the position of a chief of the Wanyan tribe, from the eldest brother's point of view, the evil doctor Fan Zheng must have heard of Aguta's bravery, so he decided to let Aguda succeed to the throne, after all, whether it is to unify the Jurchens or fight against the Liao, does the Wanyan tribe need a commander who can fight well, so that it is possible to contain the Liao State and benefit the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Although Wanyan Wu Yashu was born in the Jurchen tribe and is proficient in martial arts, he is far inferior to Wanyan Aguda, and it is necessary to use force to fight against the Liao State, which is probably the purpose of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Wanyan Yingge sighed: "You can think of this, my uncle is very comforted in my heart, the road of the Wanyan tribe is extremely dangerous, and there will be a risk of destruction if you are not careful, there must be a leader who can fight well, wise and martial, Ah Guda is the best choice, for the revitalization of the Jurchen, I can only wronged you." ”

If it was during the reign of Yelu Hongji, the Wanyan tribe would not accept the evil doctor Fan Zheng to interfere in the internal affairs of the Jurchens, but as soon as Yelu Yanxi's new policy came out, if the Jurchen tribes continued to swallow their anger, they could only be oppressed by the Liao people in the end.

Today's Wanyan tribes do not have the power to choose, and they need to rely on the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty to rise in a short period of time and resist the oppression of the Liao.

Not to mention that the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng is not harmful to the Wanyan tribe, a chief with high courage and prestige is only good and not bad for the Wanyan tribe.

And the only person who was damaged was Wanyan Wu Yashu, the original heir.

Wanyan Wuyashu smiled bitterly: "My nephew's courage is not as good as that of the second brother, his prestige among the Jurchens is not as good as that of the second brother, and he does not have the courage to resist the Liao Emperor, so how can he lead the Wanyan tribe to fight against the Liao State." ”

If it was before, Wanyan Wuyashu might have been unwilling, but after the Tiger Banquet, he learned that Wanyan Aguda confronted Emperor Liao in person, Wanyan Wuyashu realized that he was indeed inferior to Aguta, if he followed his uncle to participate in the Tiger Banquet, not only would it be impossible to win the jackpot, but he also did not have the courage to refuse Yelu Yanxi.

Not to mention that now that the Wanyan tribe is in an era of great changes, with his ability, I am afraid that he is not competent at all.

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng!"

The three of them couldn't help but sigh, worthy of being the evil doctor Fan Zheng, who was thousands of miles away, and could also strategize and judge accurately

"Big brother!" Ah Guda was immediately moved, he didn't expect his eldest brother to take the initiative to give in.

Wanyan Wuyashu looked at Aguda and said solemnly: "For the sake of the Jurchen, the eldest brother's move is nothing, but I don't want to live up to this good opportunity and lead the Wanyan tribe to unify the Jurchens, so that the Jurchens will no longer be bullied by the Liao." ”

A bone nodded solemnly.

Wanyan Yingge saw this scene, and couldn't help but feel relieved, the internal contradictions of Wanyan were resolved, coupled with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, the hope of the rise of the Jurchens was within reach.

"From now on, Aguta is the next chief, and the matter of reducing the debts of the clansmen will be advocated by Aguta in public to collect the hearts of the clansmen." Wan Yan Yingge made a final decision.

At the moment, Wanyan Yingge personally convened a tribal meeting, at which Wanyan Aguta followed Fan Zheng's evil prescription and denounced Emperor Liao's excessive taxation and made the people of Wanyan tribe in debt, and personally asked the chief Wanyan Yingge to forgive all the clansmen's debts.

Wanyan Yingge readily agreed, and asked Wanyan Aguda to be in charge of the matter.

"Forgive the debts of the clansmen!"

All of a sudden, it caused an uproar among the tribesmen, although the Wanyan tribe dug ginseng and sold it for a lot of money, but on top of the continuous price reduction of the Liao people, there were still many clansmen who were in debt.

Wanyan Aguta's move suddenly made many poor Wanyan tribesmen return to their hearts, coupled with Wanyan Aguda, who has always been known for his bravery, and personally confronted the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi and retreated, and suddenly Wanyan Aguta's prestige was in full swing in the Wanyan tribe.

Subsequently, Wanyan Wuyashu even stepped forward to report that his health was not good and he was not qualified to be the next chieftain's heir, and recommended his second brother Wanyan Aguda as the next chieftain's heir.

Wanyan Aguda repeatedly pushed back, but Wanyan Wuyashu insisted on abdicating, so he had no choice but to agree, a big drama of brotherly humility moved everyone, coupled with Wanyan Aguda's prestige in the tribe, everyone expected to become the next chieftain's heir.

"Finish Yan Akuba!"

The abnormal behavior of the Wanyan tribe suddenly puzzled the surrounding tribes, after all, it is the tradition of the Jurchen tribe to kill the brother and the younger brother, and the Wanyan tribe actually directly crossed the Wanyan Wuyashu and designated Wanyan Aguda as the heir, this behavior can be said to be extremely abnormal.

However, the Wanyan tribe did not explain, after all, all this was the prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and Wanyan Aguta took the opportunity to come to the eastern sea as the heir of the Wanyan tribe.

Seeing the huge merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty and the mountains of goods piled up on the shore, Wanyan Aguta finally confirmed that the cooperation between the Wanyan tribe and the Great Song Dynasty was the right choice.

When Yan Aguda identified himself, he was immediately led by the Song people to the huge merchant ship and met a great Song envoy.

"Eunuch?" Wanyan Aguda couldn't help frowning when he saw the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.

The eunuch envoy laughed and said: "Mrs. Fan has every opportunity, naturally he will not come to sign an alliance with Wanyan warriors in person, our family is a eunuch under the command of Gonggong Tong, who is responsible for going to the East, and this matter is specially to sign an alliance with Wanyan warriors." ”

Wanyan Ah Guda suddenly snorted coldly, he thought very highly of himself, but he didn't expect that not only did he not see the evil doctor Fan Zheng, but even Tong Guan who ordered the Daimyo to go to the West, but the eunuch who was in charge of the Great Song Dynasty went to the East to sign a maritime alliance with him.

However, Wanyan Aguda was not reckless, he confronted Yelu Yanxi in front of him, because Yelu Yanxi's new policy was harsh on the Jurchens, and now he came to cooperate with the Great Song Dynasty in order to seek the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as he can get the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty, as for who will sign the maritime alliance, it is irrelevant.

At that moment, Wanyan Aguta and the eunuch envoys of the Great Song Dynasty immediately began to sign an alliance, and Wanyan Aguta saw the astronomical assistance of the Great Song Dynasty, and couldn't help but breathe, such a huge wealth was enough to make the Wanyan tribe rich overnight.

"Fan Taicheng is not afraid that the Wanyan tribe will not admit it if they take the money?" Wan Yan asked.

Seeing this, the eunuch envoy couldn't help but smile faintly and said: "I am a great Song Dynasty, and this bit of wealth is nothing in the eyes of Fan Taicheng, even if the loss is insignificant." ”

The Jurchen tribe is scarce, and this bit of wealth is a huge fortune for the Wanyan tribe, but not to mention that in the eyes of Fan Taicheng, even in his eyes it is nothing, even if the loss is not enough, if it is successful, it can bury a nail for the Liao State, it is simply a profitable business.

"What's more, Fan Taicheng's evil recipe has never been defeated, so we naturally believe in Fan Taicheng's vision, and even more believe in the perfect warrior selected by Fan Taicheng." The eunuch envoy said loudly.

Wanyan couldn't help but be shocked, although he became a pawn of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and at this moment he no longer had a trace of anger, after all, the evil doctor Fan Zheng gave too much.

"Thank you Fan Taicheng for me, Ah Guda will definitely live up to the trust." Wanyan Aguta solemnly promised, at this moment, Wanyan Aguta actually had the feeling of dying as a confidant.

At that moment, Wanyan Aguta solemnly signed his name on the covenant to complete the alliance at sea.

The eunuch nodded and said: "By the way, Fan Taicheng made it clear that you only have three years to unify the Jurchens, if you have not completed the task of unifying the Jurchens in three years, the Great Song Dynasty will give up support for you and the Wanyan tribe." ”

Wanyan Aguda took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Don't worry, within three years, the Wanyan tribe will definitely unify the Jurchens." ”

At the moment, Wanyan Aguda returned to Wanyan with a large number of materials, and this batch of materials is only the first batch, and in the next three years, the Great Song Dynasty will continue to transport more materials by sea.

Even, within three years, after the Yan tribe unified the Jurchens, the Great Song Dynasty would provide more aid.

As for the task of unifying the Jurchen tribes within three years of the Great Song Dynasty, Wanyan Aguta is even more confident, the Wanyan tribe is the most powerful Jurchen tribe, and now with the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not a problem to pay the taxes of the new emperor, and they can take the opportunity to use these assets to buy the surrounding tribes, and take the opportunity to attack the tribes that rebelled against the Liao, so that the two-pronged approach completely completes the great cause of unifying the Jurchens.

After Wanyan Aguda left, the eunuch envoy looked at the alliance signed by Wanyan Aguda in his hand, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"I finally completed Fan Taicheng's entrustment, and I don't know why Fan Taicheng values a foreigner so much." The eunuch envoy was puzzled.

However, since the alliance at sea had been completed, he immediately ordered to return immediately.

According to the news that came before, Tong Guan has returned from the West, and he is returning at this moment, and he may be able to meet Tong Gonggong in Dengzhou.

The northwest wind was strong, and after half a month of sailing, the eunuch envoy returned to Dengzhou Port from the return voyage.

Today's Dengzhou Port is no longer a barren place, its prosperity is no less than the metropolis, outside the port, large cargo ships are endless, a piece of goods from the sea ship, sent to the shore, and soon by a businessman snapped up.

The goods here are not only the goods of the East and the South Seas, but also the goods of the south of the Great Song Dynasty. Nowadays, the Yellow River of the Great Song Dynasty is overflowing, the Grand Canal is constantly silted, the navigable capacity is greatly reduced, and the Great Song Dynasty is poor and weak, and there is no surplus money to dredge the Grand Canal.

Later generations still waited until the Yuan Dynasty dominated the world before gathering the financial resources of the whole country to reroute and build the Grand Canal.

However, now that there is a sea route, the Great Song Dynasty has no need to build the Grand Canal, not to mention the waste of financial resources, the advantages of shipping are more obvious, the cargo capacity is larger, and the coastline of the Great Song Dynasty along the coast is longer, far more than the length of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which can drive the ports along the coast to flourish, so that the goods from the north and south can be unimpeded, plus the goods of the East and South and the West.

Shipping has become the main water transportation of the Great Song Dynasty, and Dengzhou Port has become the largest port in the world, which has led to the development of a series of seaports from south to north.

"Father-in-law Qiyu, father-in-law Tong has returned from the West!"

Suddenly, an urgent report alarmed the eunuch envoys.

"Really?"

The eunuch envoy was shocked, and at that moment, he rushed to the port, only to see that outside Dengzhou Port, the mighty Western ships gathered in Dengzhou Port, and the Shenzhou of Tong Guan in the front was particularly eye-catching.

"This is the day of the great prosperity of Dengzhou Port!"

Today's Dengzhou Port not only gathers the goods from the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty, but also concentrates the ships that go to the East, the South and the West, and its grand occasion is unprecedented.

Tong Guan's return set off a feast of wealth in the business circles of the Great Song Dynasty, countless merchants and money poured into Dengzhou Port, and took away a large number of rare treasures from Dengzhou Port, and transported them to all parts of the Great Song Dynasty to earn a lot of money.

"Six million guan!"

Fan Sanming looked at the counted goods and couldn't help but be excited.

Tong Guan's return from the West was such a grand event, which naturally alarmed the Ministry of Commerce, which had just finished preparations, and Fan Sanming came in person.

However, he never imagined that Tong Guan would bring back so much wealth from his trip to the West this time, as high as six million yuan.

However, these 6 million guan are only the wealth that Tong Guan brought back from the West, plus the wealth from the East and the South Sea, the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants brought back tens of millions of wealth from overseas every year.

As soon as this news came out, it aroused the madness of the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is conceivable that the next time Tong Guan went to sea, the scale of his fleet was unprecedented.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng, sure enough, the evil side is invincible!"

Tong Guan stood in Dengzhou Port, looking at the dense fleet outside the harbor, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion in his heart.

When Fan Zheng proposed to go to the West and open up the Maritime Silk Road, countless people questioned it, but Tong Guan insisted on it for the credit of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions.

And now that the grand occasion envisioned by Fan Zheng is being realized step by step, it is conceivable that in the future, with the continuous progress of going to the West, there will definitely be a steady stream of wealth pouring into the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Great Song Dynasty will gradually become rich.

And his Tong Guan name will also be like Zhang Qian, famous in history, all thanks to the evil doctor Fan Zheng.
