Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 249 Spend him [-] million first
It was really an unexpected gain, and Xiao Chuo was so angry that he burst into tears.

She actually happened to meet at the right time. Before these Pishi Army started to attack, they gathered the spies sent to Kaifeng by the Liao Kingdom. Naturally, many of them were from the Shulu Department. She was keenly aware that something was wrong. After careful investigation, , discovered that they actually dared to assassinate Zhao Kuangyin!
She was so frightened that she couldn't sit still immediately.

Nowadays, the Shulu Department is highly bound to the Song Dynasty. Although it is known that the Song Dynasty is unlikely to give up on Youyun, it still can only sink deeper and deeper. When something like this happens, the Song Dynasty is furious. Cutting off the trade between the two countries is too small, but it is not impossible to kill all the envoys in a hurry.

Maybe they could just send troops to kill Yan Yun.

This is undoubtedly extremely harmful to the interests of the Shulu Department. The Shulu Department does not have the ability to withstand the Song Dynasty alone. No matter how they play this political game, they will suffer a lot.

Therefore, Xiao Chuo also had a feverish mind. He was so flustered that he didn't think much about it and hurriedly led his troops to stop it.

She even killed one herself.

As a result, Zhao Guangmei told her that it was all a trap?

This is a bit of a defense!

There is no doubt that these Pishijun are all aristocratic children of the Diela tribe. In all likelihood, they are all close confidants of Yelvxian. Now they have been killed by him, and they have ruined the major event he planned.

This is no small matter!

The Forbidden Army, the Commercial Bank, and even the many fucking rebels were all confused for a while and didn't know what the situation was or what was going on.

In fact, this matter was originally just Zhao Guangmei's fishing. The first purpose was to fish out the Hundred Pishi Army and the Liao spies they commanded and controlled. The second purpose was to lure out those in the DPRK who were dissatisfied with themselves and the New Deal. , a bold and naive civil servant who dared to take action. If possible, he would even want to seduce his second brother Zhao Guangyi to take action.

Who would have thought that Xiao Chuo would come forward to give such a huge windfall? It would be much better for these Liao spies to die in her hands than in the hands of the Song people.

What a double happiness.

To put it mildly, the conflict between the Diela tribe and the Shulu tribe will further intensify. Even if Yelvxian marries a woman from the Shulu tribe to be the queen, it may not be easy, and it will severely disrupt the already unstable monarchy and dynasty system. A few big bricks were buckled.

Speaking more broadly, after this incident, the internal conflicts of the Liao Kingdom can almost be brought to the surface. It is not surprising that the soldiers will meet each other. Moreover, it is certain that there will be a fierce power seizure within the court. Xiao Siwen will definitely not do anything. If you don’t do anything, you still don’t know what the other side of Yelu House is thinking.

It is unlikely that the Song Dynasty will send troops to attack Liao because of this, but they still have the ability to stir up troubles and provoke Liao, and they are very capable.

Sure enough, within a few days, Zhao Guangmei received the news: the Liao Kingdom sent troops, and Yelu Wuzhi once again led an army of [-] troops from the west to invade the Ganzhou Uighurs. The Ganzhou Uighurs asked for help from the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty did not take this seriously. After all, this did not look like a military action, but more like a political action. The Song Army's border troops in Hexi and the Forbidden Army stationed abroad exceeded 10 people. Yelu Having so few troops in the house is just harassment, it won't be a big deal.

At the same time, Brother Yelvxiu went to f**king fight against Goryeo in the name of "disrespecting Liao".

This Goryeo didn't even know who he offended. Every time something went wrong in the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Siwen or Brother Yeluxiu would beat him up.

Even not long after, Goryeo took the initiative to approach the Song Dynasty to request vassalage and pay tribute, and wanted to pay protection fees to the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Kuangyin rejected it in a dumbfounded way.

Yanyun's sixteen states are not in his hands, and Goryeo and the Song Dynasty are not even bordering each other. It's useless to claim vassalage and pay tribute.

Besides, it is impossible for them to do something that could easily misunderstand Shulu, a quasi-ally.

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin also personally wrote a letter of credence to the Liao Kingdom, saying that he believed that the assassin's matter was definitely not the intention of the Liao Kingdom. They must be extremists who came out of nowhere, and they were definitely not This incident will affect the hard-won brotherhood between Song and Liao. In the future, trade between the two countries must continue to expand.

Then Zhao Guangmei waved her hand and wrote a letter to Brother Yelusiu, giving him a war loan of 500 million yuan, and also proposed to give him a large oil pressing plant in Yunzhou, so that soybeans can be grown and pressed. Oil can provide him with at least 1 jobs.

At the same time, he gave instructions to the Guiyi Army and told them to beat them hard.

This development situation is really not a small good, but a great good. If it continues like this, it may not be long before the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures can really consider peaceful reunification.

On the other side, the two battlefields in the south were naturally full of good news. Within half a month, Pan Mei said that he had reached outside Prince Xing's Mansion.

However, I have to say that under his training, Pan Mei has at least become much more mature than in history. Although the army is at its peak and morale is high, none of them are as fast and fierce in their pursuit. Instead, they simply stop here. Faced with Nan Han's request for peace and surrender, he neither agreed nor disagreed, but expressed that he would report the matter to His Highness.

Although it took more than half a month to get from Nan Han to Kaifeng, even if he was working hard, he still chose this wasteful method of spending money and food to stay in the stalemate, and even took the initiative to withdraw his troops to Fuzhou.

Then he used this as a base to place large-scale merchants with the army in exchange for benefits, and at the same time opened warehouses to release grain. He even used this to reach out to Wu Yue's old territory, and began to forcibly intervene in Wu Yue's affairs under the pretext of deploying the southeast camp. Son.

Zhao Guangmei was extremely happy when she received the news.

Pan Mei, Pan Mei, you are finally as sensible as Cao Bin!
After all, this is a war to destroy the country. What's the point of going faster and slower?Now the Song Dynasty is not short of this kind of military expenditure. There is no big difference between destroying the country in one month and destroying the country in two months. Will it be more calm if we slow down like this?

Historically, it was because he was too anxious that he forced people to set fire to themselves, and burned all the countless treasures that the Southern Han Dynasty had accumulated through shipping over the years.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the soldiers looted the city too hard, slaughtered the city, and had nothing to report to the superiors, so they simply set a fire and said that the man named Liu set himself on fire.

Is it good to do this now? Pan Mei probably knew that Zhao Guangmei would not agree to his surrender and pay tribute, but she still deliberately stopped and sent someone to ask him. She took this time to be gentle and deal with Wu Yue. country, mobilize their troops and reorganize them. This is a general who knows how to share the worries of the monarch.

If Pan Mei in the original history had been so sensible, she wouldn't have been oppressed by Cao Bin.

Zhao Guangmei and Zhao Kuangyin had a brief discussion, but Zhao Kuangyin was not interested in it. Anyway, the land had already been sold to commercial banks and merchants, so he simply let Zhao Guangmei take care of it.Liu Yuan meant to make him the same as Li Yu. This is of course impossible. The most important thing is that Li Yu's overall political reputation in the Southern Tang Dynasty is still good. He is not a wise king, but at least he is not a bad king. Many literati would think that someone like Li Yu is the Holy Master.

Liu Yuan was a completely unsustainable fishermen, and he was the most foolish king among the faintest kings. Except for the eunuchs around him, almost everyone in the Southern Han Dynasty hated him to death. He would do anything to stabilize the regime. .

In fact, he really has to thank those lustful people for the stability of this regime.

Therefore, Zhao Guangmei's opinion gave Liu Yuan two options, either he could go to Beijing, and the Song Dynasty would give him any official position, and the Marquis should not think about it, and then he would be given an entire house in Luoyang to live out the rest of his life. The rich man can be regarded as a kind of kindness to him.

Or, let him see how many soldiers and horses he still has who are willing to be loyal to him, make him the military governor of the navy, and let him prepare money and food to fight on his own.

To put it bluntly, he was allowed to serve as the pioneer of the Song Dynasty to fight against South Vietnam, which would later become northern Vietnam.

This area was originally considered the homeland of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and was under the control of Zhenhai Jiedushi. It was only during the Five Dynasties period that it was officially separated from the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty. To put it bluntly, Zhao Kuangyin did not attack it.

It’s not that we can’t defeat it. This place won’t be much harder to defeat than Nanhan. When you don’t defeat Nanhan, you brag about it all the time. When you actually attack it, the Song Dynasty’s regular army barely moves. It’s really just that it was originally intended to be used to build roads. The civilians pushed him all the way until the country was destroyed. Attacking South Vietnam was just a sneeze for Zhao Kuangyin.

He is just too down-to-earth, and he really doesn’t want this place like Dali.

In fact, he didn't really have that much pursuit of the so-called homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. He just said that Da Ze has been an excuse to beat others since ancient times.

It's not a problem. In fact, even in the Southern Han Dynasty, the meaning of most of the land to the Northern Song Dynasty was just "exile to Lingnan". The ancients may have no concept of the farther South Vietnam.

So Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand casually to his idea and let him do whatever he wanted.

If nothing else goes wrong, Liu Yuan, the new envoy to the navy, will definitely be beaten by South Vietnam, or die directly from outside, so that the court can use the name of "insulting me as the envoy of Song Dynasty" to attack South Vietnam again. Sold it too.

What made him think Pan Mei was sensible even more was that he actually arranged for an army to "escort" a 2000-person "Semu Business Delegation" to Kaifeng.

Zhao Guangmei couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Before these lustful people arrived, they specially ordered people to hold a lively welcome ceremony, and then personally went out of the city gate to pick them up, which made these "business representatives" confused and frightened.

"Don't be afraid. I know that everyone still has some misunderstandings about our Song Dynasty, but I believe that all misunderstandings will be cleared up. Come on, come on, please, please, I will take you to visit me. Kaifeng City of the Song Dynasty."

Then, these lustful people were shocked by Kaifeng's factories and night scene.

"Which one of you is the leader? Can you speak Song dialect?"

A bearded man was elected at this time. He saluted Zhao Guangmei in a very decent manner and said in a very standard Tang accent: "My name is Liu Huanxi from the Song Dynasty. I have met His Highness the King of Qin in the Song Dynasty. Long live His Highness the King of Qin. Please also invite the King of Qin." Your Highness wants to forgive us because we, the foreign barbarians, are ignorant."

These lustful people are actually the reason why Liu's regime in the Southern Han Dynasty has been able to stand firm despite its perverse behavior. They are highly bound to Liu Yuan, and they have often helped the Southern Han Dynasty fight against the northern powers.

The northern dynasties have always paid no attention to sea trade, and the most important thing is that the Northern Song Dynasty and Dashi are getting closer and closer. Unlike the Northern Song Dynasty in history, which has never been able to control the northwest region, the Northern Song Dynasty has already recovered Hexi. Corridor, further west, in fact, you have already faced the big cannibal. The green education of the Uighurs began at this time.

Therefore, although the people in the Song Dynasty can't actually tell the difference between those Semu people and Semu people, they are all big eaters in green clothes, big eaters in black clothes, big eaters in yellow clothes, and the names are super nonsense, but they are all big eaters anyway. , all religious.

The Song Dynasty was extremely wary of this religion, and it was actually a serious conflict between them.

This is also the reason why they are all so worried when they go north.

To put it bluntly, these lustful people were actually quite afraid of Song Dynasty and Zhao Guangmei. However, when Zhao Guangmei saw them, she treated them so politely that they couldn't help but couldn't help but be overjoyed. .

Zhao Guangmei knew what they were thinking and said: "I'm not that stingy. The Song Dynasty has everything. You semen were our good friends and brothers when you conquered the Tang Dynasty. Now I, the Song Dynasty, will inherit the power of the Song Dynasty." Tang Fatong, how can he be hostile to you? Come on, please, I have specially prepared a banquet in the palace, let's eat and chat, don't worry, it's all halal."

Hearing this, everyone became more and more happy. The one named Liu Huanxi said: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. If Your Highness has something to do, I will leave it to the little people. I will not hesitate to wait for you."

"It's boring to say that. You are all here to make money. What a coincidence. If you know a little bit about Da Song and me, you should know that what I am best at is making people make money. Don't talk about loyalty. Loyalty, business is all about mutual exchange. I am happy that you are making money. I heard that you are doing a lot of business in Nanyang? How much turnover can you make every year? How much are you people worth?"

These lustful people are now artificial slaves, so naturally they dare not not say it, so they have to complain aggrievedly: "This...if it is just a flow of water...every year, almost...800 million yuan of goods will always be passed on, but the specific profit is also Not so much, especially since the Southern Han Dynasty was the most greedy and excessive, taxing us heavily, so... I really haven't saved much money over the years."

"Just estimate, it doesn't matter, I won't take it from you."

"This... we people... if we add one piece together, we can produce goods and family assets worth about 1000 million guan, if your highness needs it."

"Too little, really too little, and you are too poor."

"What? But Your Highness, we..."

"Next year, I will lend you [-] million for you to spend first. The year after next, I plan to increase it to [-] million. I invite you here today just to talk to you about how the money will be spent."

"Ah... ah?"
