Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

In November of the fourth year of Jingkang, the rotation of the Northwest Forbidden Army began.

On the third day of November in the fourth year of Jingkang, Xingqing Mansion.

The prime minister Wei Ming Anhui came to Xia Lord Li Qianshun and said: "Your Majesty, good news."

Li Qianshun was reading a book, he raised his head and said, "What good news?"

"Then Liu Yu proclaimed himself emperor in the Hejian Mansion and established the Qi State."

"Oh? Liu Yu?"

"Liu Yu was a Song official before, and he was appointed as the prison envoy on West Hebei Road."

"Since he is a Song official, how dare he proclaim himself emperor in Hejian Mansion?"

"It was granted by the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin. The minister got the news that Liu Yu went to the Hejian Mansion to recruit soldiers and horses to use against Song Dynasty."

Li Qianshun asked, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Your Majesty, if the Qi State attacks the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will send troops to the east line, and the logistics will be more supplied to the east line. At this time, if our army goes south to various roads in Shaanxi, we will surely gain something easily!"

"You mean, Vasong?"

"That's exactly what I mean."

Li Qianshun hesitated: "Brother Li Cha told me that we need another year of preparations to defeat Song, and next year we will earn more money from Song."

"Your Majesty, if Liu Yu's army is attacking Song Dynasty, we are the best time to send troops!"

Li Qianshun fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, he said, "We are allies with Song now, why should we attack?"

Anhui, who was named Wei, had a plan and said: "To make a fuss about the mutual market between Huizhou and Huizhou, we can send people dressed as Song people to intercept our salt in Huizhou on purpose, and then use the Song people to rob our salt as an excuse. Use soldiers against Song!"

Chapter 336 Xixia Messenger (Part [-])

Li Qianshun actually wanted to attack Da Song.

Xixia, which survived among several powerful countries, has been constrained by population and terrain distribution since its birth.

The huge sense of crisis makes it not want to expand externally all the time.

As long as there is a chance, it will definitely show its fangs.

Especially the desire for the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi.

Taking the Guanzhong Plain means compressing the front of the Song Dynasty to the Shanchuan area, and Xixia has included a large amount of arable land, resources and population.

At that time, Xixia took Guanzhong to the east to look at the Central Plains, and it looked like it could compete for world hegemony.

But Li Qianshun has his personality traits.

He ascended the throne at the age of three. When he ascended the throne, his mother party was under the dictatorship. Xixia's domestic politics was corrupt and the army was weak. He was hanged and beaten by Song Dynasty many times.

What kind of character will a ruler who has fallen from power since childhood, face internal and external troubles, develop?

Plan carefully!

Only by careful planning can we survive.

It can be said that the political balance in Xixia has already been played by Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun also played the external alliance and vertical and horizontal skills to the extreme.

This kind of person always thinks about maximizing profit in his mind.

For example, with regard to the Song Dynasty, Xixia’s green and white salt is now selling well in the Song Dynasty. It is seen that the annual income may reach 80 guan next year. Li Qianshun has no idea about the Song Dynasty’s use of force.

He has also weighed, if force is used, how many resources and troops may be mobilized to win the Guanzhong Plain, and what is the winning rate?

If you can't take it down and your own national power is damaged, will Jin Guorui tear his face and soldiers directly press into Xingqing Mansion?

What is profit maximization?

To maximize benefits is to evaluate benefits, but also to evaluate risks.

Children from poor families always worry more about doing something than children from rich families, because they don't have too many opportunities for trial and error.

Li Qianshun said: "Let me think about this matter carefully."

"Your Majesty, don't come when the opportunity is too late."

"I know what the prime minister said."

Of course Li Qianshun knew that Wei Ming Anhui had his own little Jiujiu. He encouraged himself to use troops against Song Dynasty today, and Jin Guo must be behind it.

Song and Jin signed an armistice agreement, but the Kingdom of Jin would never really cease the war.

The east line supports Liu Yu, and the west line encourages Xixia.

Whether Wei Ming Anhui can gain a firm foothold after the Western Xia Dynasty, in addition to checking and balancing Brother Richard, it also depends on the Kingdom of Jin. It can be said that the Kingdom of Jin is his biggest backer.

Li Qianshun immediately recruited Brother Li Cha to come over and explained his thoughts on Weiming An Hui.

Brother Li Cha said: "If your Majesty thinks you can send troops, you can first send envoys to Jingzhao Mansion in the name of trade to test the situation of the Song Army at this time. As far as I know, the Song Army is not at peace."

Brother Li Cha also played a side ball. I neither approve of Vasong nor oppose Vasong. Since you asked me to talk about this matter, Your Majesty, it shows that you have some thoughts in your heart.

"Okay, just as King Jin said."

In Tokyo in November, it has also entered the cold winter, and the snow has begun to fall, and the sky is gradually dimming.

Zhang Bi, a member of the Hexi room of the Privy Council, returned home.

"Father, I bought some sheep." Zhang Wencai came over and said.

"Sheep?" Zhang Bi was a little surprised, "Where did you buy the sheep?"

"Recently, there have been a lot of sheep in Tokyo. I heard that they are sold in the palace."

Zhang Bi immediately thought of the rumored matter of raising sheep at the Royal Racecourse.

Because of this incident, Hong Chu, the Zuo Jianyi doctor, has been imprisoned.

I heard that the Crown Prince of the East Palace was involved behind this matter, but Zhao Guan's family handled the matter in a low-key manner.

"How much is one?"

Zhang Wencai said, "It's not expensive either, one per hundred."

"Don't buy it in the future."

"Father, it's only one hundred sticks, and we've shared a lot about Uncle's matter!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Bi glanced at his son.

"It's only a hundred hits..."

"It's not about money!" Zhang Bi said with a sullen face, "Your father and I are now members of the New Political School, and you are a student of the University of Tokyo, a disciple of the Son of Heaven!"

"What does this have to do with eating sheep?"

"Do you know where this sheep came from?"

"It's sold in the market."

"They came from the palace, from the royal ranch. Why did the government sell the sheep and not eat them?"

"Why?"

"Because this sheep may have been imported from the Kingdom of Jin in the north."

"The government doesn't eat it, so we can't stop us from eating it. It's just sheep. Dad, don't you really take the New Deal seriously?" Zhang Wencai said with a smile, "What does the New Deal look like? Don't know? That's just a means for the court to seize people's wealth, Zhao Ding and the others are not good things!"

"Idiot! You are now a student at the University of Tokyo. You have to know how to observe the wind direction, do you understand? You have to learn to match what you like, and you have to borrow the support of the New Deal to win people's hearts for yourself. The students of the University of Tokyo will all be dispatched to be officials in the future. Yes, now is the best time for you to accumulate contacts!"

"Your father and I give gifts everywhere, for what? To climb up by supporting the New Deal! What the New Deal is has nothing to do with us, you have to remember that we have only one purpose in doing things, which is to climb up, pay attention to your words and deeds!"

"The child is taught."

Zhang Wencai continued: "Father, that night, I saw that Officer Zhao murder with my own eyes."

Zhang Bidao: "And then?"

"It's been almost a month, report to the officials and arrest people!"

"Stupid pig!" Zhang Bi cursed bitterly, "Aren't we officials?"

"Then why didn't you report it?"

"Report what? Report that you brought people pretending to be members of the Privy Council to arrest people in front of the Daxiangguo Temple at night?" Zhang Bi pointed at Zhang Wencai's head, "Be smarter! Pretending to be a court official is a capital offense!"

"But are we going to let that one surnamed Zhao go like this?"

"The person whose surname you mentioned is Zhao, I have inquired about it, and there is no such person!"

"impossible!"

"What's impossible? Don't you believe that your father can't find anyone if he wants to check?"

"Father, everyone saw Zhao's ci chanting at Qian's house that night, and his ci is now being circulated everywhere in the capital!"

"Use your pig's brain, that Zhao Ning is not his real name!"

Zhang Wencai turned around and was about to go out.

"where are you going?"

"I'll ask Qian Jinshu, who is that Zhao Ning?"

"You idiot, you still go to ask Qian Jinshu? Behind her is Wang Taiwei, do you want this matter to reach Wang Zongyi's ears?"

"Then let's leave this matter alone?" Zhang Wencai was not convinced, "What if that Zhao Ning reveals that we arrested Mrs. Li that night? This matter involves a lot!"

"Didn't you say that one of his men killed people that night? Killing people in the capital's streets is a felony. Even if he is a relative of the emperor and instigates his subordinates to kill people in the streets, it will be true. He dare not publicize it."

"Then let that Zhao Ning go like this?"

"He is just a small person, don't waste time on small people, spend more energy on your classmates, next year I will declare you the place to enter the martial arts hall, after graduation, go to Yanyan Road, your uncle will find you A good job."

On November [-]th, when Shaanxi Sixth Road was about to start its rotation, the Xixia envoys suddenly arrived at Chang'an City in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 337 Colluding with Xixia (Second Change)

The Xixia envoys came to Chang'an City and met Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun asked, "The envoy Xia suddenly came to Chang'an, what's the matter?"

Li Renli said: "It's not a big deal. The two countries have been safe for the past two years, thanks to Mr. Zhang. Your majesty ordered me to come and present a gift to express my gratitude."

As he spoke, Li Renli ordered someone to bring up the gift and open it.

It is an incense burner made of pure gold, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, the streamer is shining, and it is lifelike.

Although Xixia was regarded as a barbarian by the Song Dynasty, after all, it has been Sinicized for a long time, and this incense burner is a tribute of the Xixia royal family, so the workmanship is naturally extremely exquisite.

"Small respect, to show respect and thanks."

Zhang Jun took a look and said: "Lord Xia's heart, I understand it with my heart, and I will not be rewarded for no merit. If the envoy has something to do, he may as well speak up."

Seeing that Zhang Jun didn't accept the gift, Li Renli didn't dare to force it.

"The weather has turned cold recently, and our country is short of some cloth. I hope Shangguo can sell us more cloth to keep out the cold."

"It's easy to say, since we have sincerely traded with each other, some cloth is not a big problem."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang."

After the two parties talked politely for a while, Zhang Jun ordered someone to take Li Renli down to rest.

Wu Lin said: "Mr. Zhang, the official language of the envoy Xia is very good! It's better than mine!"

"This person is not an ordinary person, he is the land of the Western Xia clan, King Shu Li Renli."

"It turned out to be a child of the clan!" Wu Lin was taken aback.

Zhang Jun fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, "Xi Xia suddenly sent envoys here at this time, what do you think?"

Counselor Lu Zhi said: "Mr. Zhang, according to my officials, the amount of cloth traded between our dynasty and Xixia is huge. There are many private businessmen who trade with Xixia privately. Xixia's domestic household registration is limited. How could they suddenly sell cloth? This is doubtful. .”

"Then what do you mean?"

"According to the officials, Xixia may have come to check on my Shaanxi Sixth Route Army."

"Is there any basis for your statement?"

Lu Zhi continued: "Not to mention that the cloth trade has been satisfied, even if there is a real need, there is absolutely no need to send a prince here, unless there is a secret that cannot be spread outside, involving the high-level Xixia."
