Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 210 The Southern Song Dynasty wanted to recruit An Zhangyong, and the Jin Kingdom was desper

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was full of literary talents who denounced Zhang Yong.

"Zhang Yong, a charlatan, betrayed his country and sought glory, defected to Mongolia, and occupied Guanzhong."

"The Mongols named him the Puppet King of Guanzhong. Why doesn't the emperor attack him?"

"Bah, what kind of god does this person claim to be? The messenger is just a magician. He flies a kite and lights the Kongming lantern, and he dares to say that it is a flying artifact? He is really deceiving no one in the Song Dynasty." A scholar from the Southern Dynasties said.

"Isn't that right? This kind of nonsense is just to deceive those northern barbarians! How can we, the educated people, not know his kind of tricks?"

"This person was able to seize Lintao Mansion, then defeat the Jin army, and occupy the entire Guanzhong. It is because of the glory of our Great Song Celestial Master." A scholar said.

"Brother, how can I see you?"

"Hmph! Previously, our Song Dynasty's tens of thousands of troops besieged Lintao Mansion for more than two months! Lintao Mansion has run out of ammunition and food.

The army of the Kingdom of Jin was even beaten by the Iron Lion of the Song Dynasty, so they did not dare to come forward. They suffered heavy losses, and there were countless casualties in the army.

If it weren't for Zhao Fan's greed for life and fear of death. After escaping from the battlefield, the entire Guanzhong should be taken down by me, the Song Dynasty. Will it be the turn of a despicable villain like Zhang Yong? "A literary talent suddenly delivered an impassioned speech.

It seems that Zhang Yong was able to capture the entire Guanzhong because he took advantage of the Song Dynasty. Without the previous attack by the Song Dynasty, how could this person have captured Guanzhong.

Damn that Zhao Fan! If this person hadn't escaped before the battle and captured the entire Guanzhong at this time, it would have been the Song Dynasty that would have shocked the world.

"Alas! What a pity! The military generals in the DPRK are all greedy for life and afraid of death. They refuse to use their lives on the battlefield, causing harm to the soldiers of the three armies." A scholar patted the table and sighed.

"We should jointly submit a letter asking the emperor to send troops to attack it."

"Now that the Mongolian army has withdrawn, the troops in Guanzhong are empty. If we don't take them now, how long will it take?"

"Yes, yes, let's submit a joint letter, jointly submit a letter."

Without anyone's instigation or anyone's direction, this group of literary talents began to hate Zhang Yong inexplicably.

It became more and more intense, and gradually evolved into a petition signed by tens of thousands of fellow scholars, requesting the imperial court to send troops to the Northern Expedition.

Lin'an Mansion, in the Imperial Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yun also had a huge headache during these days. The fact that a Han man was crowned king by Mongolia has been spread all over the world.

Despite the external explanation, this Han man is still a member of their golden family, and is even the son-in-law of Genghis Khan. It seems that there is no problem in being crowned king with such an identity.

And this matter doesn't seem to have much to do with their Da Song Dynasty.

Why do we need to go on the Northern Expedition to seize Guanzhong? Is it time for the Northern Expedition now?

In order to support Xixia, the Song Dynasty gathered a large amount of food and grass and mobilized a hundred thousand troops. A hundred thousand troops are dispatched!

This was a waste of people and money. The Song Dynasty's treasury began to bottom out in an instant. It had only been two years since he took the throne, and he had not yet replenished the treasury! On the contrary, it drained the treasury.

Moreover, due to the failure of support to Xixia and the failure of the plan to occupy Lintao Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, the Southern Song Dynasty could be said to have failed in vain, sending hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass to the Mongols in vain.

Mobilizing the army for the Northern Expedition was not just talk. The Song Dynasty usually requires several years of preparation, or even more than ten years of preparation before it can take action.

Before the incident of supporting Xixia, the Song Dynasty had many conflicts with the Jin Kingdom, although the troops sent by the Jin Kingdom to attack the Song Dynasty were defeated.

But their Da Song Dynasty was not unscathed! That’s also a heavy loss, okay?
  Previously, it was the limit of the Song Dynasty to be able to gather a hundred thousand troops to attack Lintao Prefecture and support Xixia. Now the war has just ended. Moreover, the busiest spring plowing time is coming soon. Sending troops to fight at this time will be another huge expense.

Although the Mongolian army withdrew, it still left behind defensive forces. The number of Han troops in Guanzhong was as many as [-] or [-]. It is said that there were also some Xixia soldiers and Mongolian cavalry.

With these armies alone, if the Song Dynasty had launched the Northern Expedition, it would have required at least [-] troops.

After all, to capture Guanzhong, you don't just have to capture it, you also need to guard against others attacking you. The Song Dynasty had experienced the strength of Mongolia before.

That is simply unbeatable, especially in field battles, and most of them are in the DPRK. The ministers all looked down upon the Han people in the north and had a very bad attitude towards them.

The common people don't know. But as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun knew something. The Red Coat Army, which had launched a large-scale uprising in Shandong, asked the Song Dynasty to join them at the beginning of their resistance against the Jin Dynasty and the Mongolia Dynasty.

As a result, due to various mysterious and divine operations by the ministers of the DPRK, the red-coated army that originally belonged to the Song Dynasty actually chose to join Mongolia.

This group of literati thought of the Heavenly Master of the Song Dynasty. As soon as they arrived at the tens of thousands of Guanzhong disciples, they immediately turned against them. They were joking, if this was the case, their Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty would have been successful long ago.

"Oh! Officials! You don't have to pay too much attention to the voices of the people! How do they know about these important court affairs? They are just passionate and talk about it." The powerful minister Shi Miyuan stood aside and said.

When I was young, if I had heard such news, I would have joined the army of petitions impassionedly.

Then ask the imperial court for the Northern Expedition! However, after decades of being a high-ranking official, this idea has changed. Fighting is not just talk.

There were too many things to consider. The previous troops sent to Xixia had already emptied the Song Dynasty's treasury. Without several years of accumulation, there would be no money to send troops.

Defending the enemy's attack and sending troops to attack the enemy are completely different things.

"My dear! Tell me, this man named Zhang Yong, can you recruit them? Bring them to me, the Song Dynasty. In this way, we can take down the entire Guanzhong without a single blow." Zhao Yun's eyes moved and he suddenly spoke. said.

It is said that this man named Zhang Yong is very young, he seems to be about the same age as himself, and he is also in his twenties.

If this person can be recruited to their Song Dynasty, it will be a great achievement, and the benefits to their Song Dynasty will be great.

"Official! This person cut off the supervisory army before. His eyes even threatened to attack Lin'an Mansion and dig out your eyes." A civil servant stood aside and said.

"This matter is just Liu Jianjun's words! Who knows the real situation? He came back and said it himself. And what this person said. The literati in this world don't know it, don't you know it? "Zhao Yun said.

This supervisor caused a huge earthquake in the Song Dynasty some time ago, and he talked about how much he served the court.

How wronged he was, but after the real situation and the real battle report came, a comparison revealed how outrageous what he said was.

Therefore, regarding the matter of gouging his eyes, Zhao Yun also felt that it was a rumor. As for carving words on his body, it was not impossible for someone to secretly carve words on his body because of what the supervisor had done before.

Zhao Yun has lost all trust in Liu Jianjun, who talks so freely. He doesn't believe a word he says.

"Officials! This matter may not be easy to handle. If you want to recruit him, you must give him benefits. Now the Mongols have granted him the throne." Another general stood up and said.

"The king named by the Mongols is, to put it bluntly, just a head of ten thousand households, just like the Han people in the north.

The Mongols only granted dozens of titles. How could there be dozens of marquises in one country? Moreover, they are all hereditary marquises. This kind of marquis kingship is worthless compared with my title in the Song Dynasty. "A civil servant said.

Even the Kingdom of Jin has not been completely destroyed yet! He just conquered some foreign barbarians in the Western Regions. Genghis Khan dared to divide the world?

It's too overestimating one's abilities. Moreover, so many marquises have been granted. It would be better now to directly separate a king, but based on some information they have in the Song Dynasty.

In Mongolia, a head of a thousand households belongs to the level of the kings of the East Road and the kings of the West Road. The word king is not worth mentioning at all to the grassland people, and it cannot be said to be very big.

Khan is the top title. "How about we send an envoy to Guanzhong first to meet Zhang Yong and promise him that if he is willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

Then I will make him a marquis, a real marquis, the marquis of our Song Dynasty, and the founding marquis of the country. "Zhao Yun said.

Their title rankings in the Song Dynasty are king, heir king, county king, prince, county prince, founding prince, founding county prince, founding county prince, founding marquis, founding uncle, founding son, and founding male.

, marquis, uncle, son, male, all represented counties and counties, founded the country, and when they were granted the title of Duke, they were called the Duke of a certain country.

At first, only small countries were enfeoffed, and then they were transferred to large countries. Princes and brothers were enfeoffed, and they were called princes.

The son of the prince will be the heir, the next of kin in the clan will be the heir, the one with special decree will be granted the title of county king, and the one who will be favored by the clan ancestors will be granted the title of Duke of the country.

The founding princes, marquises, uncles, sons, and sons of the founding state all follow the rule of the city: those with more than [-] households are granted the title of duke, those with more than [-] households are granted the title of marquis, those with more than [-] households are granted the title of uncle, those with more than [-] households are granted the title of son, and those of more than [-] households are granted the title of male .The current and former prime ministers have a total of [-] households.

Therefore, the founding prince is still very important. At least the food under your control is more than a thousand households. From now on, even if you sit at home, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!
  Zhao Yun felt that this amount should be enough. After all, the rewards from the Mongols were completely incomparable to those from the Song Dynasty. When he was granted the title of Marquis, he would also reward many treasures, gold and silver.

"Official family! Wei Chen feels that the title of Founding Lord cannot impress the other party. After all, the other party is now made king by the Mongols. It is better to promise as the Founding Lord! Let the other party offer the entire Guanzhong land." A civil servant said said.

The entire Guanzhong land and part of the Xixia land are also in the hands of this person named Zhang Yong. If all these lands can be returned to the Song Dynasty, the meaning will be different. It is indeed not an exaggeration to divide the founding Duke.

After all, apart from the royal family, the founding Duke is already the highest-ranking title.
  If one of the founding dukes could be exchanged for the entire Guanzhong land, plus part of the Xixia land, it would be a very good deal indeed.

"Your Majesty! I am willing to go to Guanzhong as an envoy to pay homage to Zhang Yong, the king of Guanzhong, and persuade him to join us in the Song Dynasty with his sharp tongue." A civil servant named Wang stood up and said.

"Wang Qing's family! Are you sure?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Official family! The king of Mongolia is nothing more than the head of ten thousand households in the grassland. How can he compare to me, the people of the Central Plains? And the princes of foreign races are not so easy to get.

I will promise him a stake in my army of millions in the Song Dynasty.

If you don't surrender, we will immediately send troops to attack. How can your tens of thousands of troops resist?

Moreover, if the Mongols turned against him in the future, his throne would not be guaranteed, and the lives of his entire family would be in danger.

On the contrary, if we are willing to surrender, the Song Dynasty will offer the entire Guanzhong land and part of the Xixia territory.

So even if he is granted the title of Marquis of the Founding of the Republic, if he is not moved, how can he refuse the position of Duke of the Founding of the Republic of China? "The civil servant named Wang said with confidence.

The title of founding duke, even if it is the prime minister or grand master, will only be enfeoffed after leaving office. Even if future generations inherit this title, they will need to reduce the title in the future and gradually downgrade.

As a young man in your twenties, what qualifications do you have to be named the founding father of the country? Just because the Mongols made you king, the Song Dynasty will grant you the position of founding marquis!
  "One more thing, Mr. Wang, this man is Genghis Khan's son-in-law, and he is related to Mongolia.

He even used some kind of charlatanism to make Genghis Khan think that he was also a member of the Golden Family.

Our Song Dynasty only promised him the title of marquis or duke, which may not be able to win him over. "

"He has princesses in Mongolia, and I also have princesses in the Song Dynasty. Although the late emperor has passed away, there are still several princesses who have not left the court. It is a great gift to choose one to marry him.

When he surrenders, we will grant the death of the daughter given by Genghis Khan, his Mongolian wife.

As for the identity of the Golden Family, it is not worth mentioning. How can a Han Chinese be related to the prairie people? He is just talking nonsense. "

"Well! When your beloved comes to his place, remember not to say such things, and don't break the etiquette! You must persuade him nicely and promise him many benefits.

As long as he is willing to join our Song Dynasty, then our Song Dynasty will definitely have great imperial favor. I will personally receive him in Lin'an Mansion and marry the princess of my Song Dynasty to him, and there is no need to perform the courtesy of a monarch or a minister. "Zhao Yun said.

Zhao Yun felt that his condition was already a huge benefit. With such a reward, as long as the other party came to him in the Southern Song Dynasty, he would be a very popular minister.

"Don't worry, officials, this matter is known to me. When talking to him, I will naturally not say anything rude."

"In this case, the Qing family will serve as envoys and bring a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, a hundred bolts of silk and satin, and forty jars of wine to go to Jingzhao Mansion to recruit him," Zhao Yun said.

Soon, the Song court made the final decision to recruit Zhang Yong instead of sending troops to attack.

Soon, a team of a hundred people drove out of Lin'an Mansion and headed towards Zhang Yong's Jingzhao Mansion.

Turning his attention back to the Jin Kingdom, there was a wailing sound all over the Jin Kingdom. Who could have imagined that another misfortune would befall the Jin Kingdom.

Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu was very distressed.

Wanyan Heda's army had received good news before, saying that they had annihilated a Mongolian cavalry of more than [-] people, without injuring a single soldier.

There was great progress along the way, but then things took a sharp turn for the worse, and bad news kept coming.

The first day of the siege was a huge defeat. The entire army's siege equipment was destroyed. Even the loyal and filial army that had worked so hard to build was completely wiped out.

Ten days later, news came that the [-]-strong army they had organized was actually wiped out by the Mongols.

Moreover, in a very short period of time, without even the Jin Kingdom reacting, the Mongols captured the entire Guanzhong land and fought all the way to Tongguan.

"Your Majesty! We have to send a large army to take back the land in Guanzhong. We can't lose the land in Guanzhong!" said a Jurchen general.

"The land of Guanzhong cannot be lost, but how many soldiers and horses do we have in the Great Jin Kingdom now? The total number of men in the country is only about [-]. We have to guard against the grasslands and the north. Where can we have any troops to attack the land of Guanzhong? , if you want to attack the land in Guanzhong, you must have an army of [-].

If we transfer the [-] troops guarding the northern grasslands, we will have no chance of making a comeback. "A civil servant said.

Send troops to attack again. If troops could be sent now, Wanyan and Daye would not have brought only [-] people to attack Lintao Mansion before.

These 7 troops are already the maximum strength that the Jin Kingdom can spare. Now that these [-] troops have been annihilated, how can they, the Jin Kingdom, have any troops? Now, [-]% of the Jin Kingdom's land has been taken away by Mongolia.

"Your Majesty! For the current plan, we can only shrink the defense line. Completely retreat to Tongguan and strengthen the defense of Tongguan and Xiaoguan. We have already defended Mongolia." A member of the Jurchen Sect said.

"Alas! How is the contact with the Dongxia Kingdom in the north? In the Longxing Land of my Jurchen clan, are the Jurchen people there willing to rebel against the Mongols?" Wanyan Shouxu asked.

The Jurchens of their generation in the Central Plains have indeed been unable to accumulate any decent power. But the Jurchen tribe in my hometown in the Northeast are still the Jurchen tribe back then! Moreover, it has extremely strong combat power and can compete with the Mongols in terms of cavalry.

Now the only people the Jin Kingdom can count on are their Jurchen compatriots back home in the Northeast.

They have established a new Jurchen country called Dongxia Kingdom, also fighting against the Mongols.

"Hey, the Han people are unreliable. We Jurchens can only rely on our own people. Pass on my will, shrink the defense line, retreat to Tongguan, defend with all our strength, and then call on the Jurchen warriors in the north who are thinking about our Jin Kingdom, and let them go south to fight against the Mongols. Dongxia Kingdom sends troops."

More than half a month later, Zhang Yong was dealing with spring plowing matters in his study when he received a report from his subordinates.

It was said that a Southern Song Dynasty envoy team of several hundred people came to him to ask for an audience.

The Southern Song Dynasty actually sent envoys to itself? (End of chapter)
