Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

According to the tributary system between the Celestial Dynasty and the surrounding small countries, the small countries paid tribute, and the Celestial Dynasty reciprocated, and also gave gifts to the small countries.

But Zhao Ning obviously didn't intend to play cards according to common sense.

Because Goryeo is dishonest now.

In the first year of Jingkang, Goryeo proclaimed its vassals to the Kingdom of Jin and paid tribute to the Kingdom of Jin. Some ministers in Goryeo flirted with the Kingdom of Jin.

And this Jin Dunzhong's father, Jin Fushi, the envoy of the Privy Council of Korea, was the leader of the pro-gold faction in the Korean court.

Zhao Guanjia asked: "I heard that your country has surrendered to the Jin country?"

Jin Dunzhong froze for a moment, glanced at Li Ruoshui, as if asking him: Didn't we agree in private not to mention this matter in this tribute?

Li Ruoshui also expressed helplessness.

Seeing that Jin Dunzhong did not speak, Zhao Ning asked forcefully, "Messenger, is that right?"

"Our country is a remote and small country, and the Jin country has held it hostage by force, so the small country dare not refuse."

"Your Excellency, is your country forced to help?"

"Yes."

"Then since you have already made your choice, why do you want to pay me the Song Dynasty?"

This made Jin Dunzhong speechless.

In fact, the current mainstream in Korea is pro-golden.

Historically, Zhao Gou even sent envoys to deposit gold through Goryeo, but was rejected by the power minister Jin Fushi.

As for what kind of tribute Koryo came to the Song Dynasty now, it was definitely not to show respect to the Song Dynasty, but just to gain business benefits from the tribute.

After all, according to the rules, if a small country pays tribute, the Celestial Dynasty should reward it generously.

For example, in history, copper coins were directly rewarded, or silk, tea, etc. were rewarded, and tens of thousands of guan were rewarded for copper coins.

And for Zhao Ning, who is so stingy, these are simply fucking reckless, giving money to the gang of Goryeo?

My money was stolen from my home through hard work!

Jin Dunzhong said: "The Great Song Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and our country pays tribute according to the ritual system of saints."

After all, Jin Fushi was sent to the Song Dynasty when Zhao Ji was in power, and Jin Fushi, who is good at literature, is still famous in the literary world of the Song Dynasty.

So that Song people called Goryeo "Little China".

Zhao Ning said again: "Is worshiping the Kingdom of Jin also following the ritual system of saints?"

Chapter 468 Multiple Chess Operations (Third Change)

Jin Dunzhong was really stunned and had nothing to say.

Damn, surrendering to the Kingdom of Jin is forced to be helpless, and coming to pay tribute to ask for things is to obey the ritual system of saints.

This kind of double standard, Goryeo has played it with great proficiency.

Zhao Ning glanced at Jin Dunzhong and said, "Nothing to say?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is not for the young envoy to decide."

Zhao Ning said unceremoniously: "Then why did Wang Kai send you here!"

"Your Majesty, the envoy is here to make good relations between the two countries..."

Zhao Guanjia's tone was even colder, and he said, "Is it to inquire about news for the Kingdom of Jin?"

This sentence scared Jin Dunzhong to his knees, and he said profusely, "Your Majesty misunderstood the envoy."

"Then you explain to me the matter of worshiping the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Little envoy..."

"If you can't explain clearly, they are here to inquire about news for the Kingdom of Jin." Zhao Ning said concisely, "Come here, and detain them all."

As soon as he said this, the faces of all the officials changed.

How can there be such a thing, how can people detain it at will when they come from afar to pay tribute?

Since the establishment of the tribute system of the Celestial Dynasty, barbarians from all over the world have paid tribute. Let's say the Tang Dynasty, that is the coming of all nations.

According to the etiquette system, envoys from various countries must be treated with courtesy.

This is really the first time that a tributary envoy has been detained.

Li Ruoshui came out and said, "Your Majesty, if you seize it rashly, will it make other countries feel bad?"

"Other countries will not worship the Kingdom of Jin."

The ministers still wanted to say something, because they felt that Zhao Guan's playing like this was a bit too much.

Even Zhang Shuye raised questions in his head. Yesterday, the Zhao officials said that Han Shizhong should move the town of Liaodong so that Koryo could cooperate. Why did they detain the Koryo envoy today?

Zhao Guanjia really couldn't understand this move.

Zhao Ning didn't say any more, stood up and said, "Retire!"

After retiring from the court, Zaizhi was summoned to discuss matters in Wende Hall.

Zhao Ning said, "There are a few things that need to be done immediately."

"First, mobilize the army and civilians to quickly go north to Taiyuan, and add 20 people to Taiyuan City. At present, there are still 10 people in Taiyuan, and the total population is set at 30."

"The most important thing is food. Once the number of people increases, food will inevitably be consumed."

This is not a big problem. Since several times of anti-corruption and major purges, the number of idle officials in the Great Song Dynasty has decreased a lot, and the food subsidies for officials have also decreased accordingly.

However, Huaixi, Jingji Road, Hebei, and Hedong have undergone bureaucratic rectification, private taxes have been reduced, and people's willingness to work has increased unprecedentedly. Generally speaking, there is no shortage of food, it is nothing more than spending money to buy it.

Is Zhao Ning short of money now?

"Second, to deal with the prisoners of war, that is, the group of Jin soldiers who surrendered, order Wu Jie to escort them to Tokyo City immediately."

It is best to choose a group of soldiers with excellent skills to escort them. After all, when digging a hole... oh no, after all, there are many bandits on the road, so the safety of the surrenders must be guaranteed.

Zhao Guanjia also emphasized that if you get lost, you may be buried alive by thieves, that would be bad!

As for Wanyan Jia's mother, it's too much to write down, so it's natural to leave it to the people of Taiyuan to deal with.

"[-]. Immediately send envoys to the north to ask Jin Guo why he hastily crossed the border and force the Song army to fight back?"

"Fourth, order the border towns in Hebei to strengthen their defenses in case the gold thieves go south."

"Five, send envoys to Goryeo to question Goryeo's monarchs and ministers, why did they send people here to inquire about information for the Kingdom of Jin?"

After Zhao Guanjia quickly explained all these actions, the Zaizhi were immediately stunned.

We beat Jin Guo once, and we still want to send someone to question him?

We detained the envoy of Goryeo again, and we have to send someone to question him?

Zhang Shuye asked: "Your Majesty, don't we need someone from Korea to help us in Liaodong? Now..."

"The pro-gold faction in Koryo is raising its head. It is impossible to let Goryeo help us now, but there must be anti-gold faction in Korea. We will block all trade with Koryo at sea this time, as a way to protect the kingdom of Jin from Koryo. Punishment, and then send people to question the crime, contact the anti-gold faction, and then negotiate with the King of Korea."

The method of smoking this big stick and then giving a candy to eat seems very simple, but the effect is bound to be excellent.

At this time, Taiyuan was restored, and if the Liaodong Army Town could grow rapidly, Jin Guo would not dare to come out with all its strength if it wanted to go south again.

After Zhang Shuye heard it, he understood Zhao Guan's intentions, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

"Mr. Zhao is going to arrange envoys."

Zhao Ding said: "Yes, when does Your Majesty need envoys to arrive in Korea?"

"It's best to leave in a few days."

"Is it so urgent?"

"Han Shizhong will move the town soon, and I plan to give Han Shizhong a Liaodong economic envoy. Once the Liaodong military town is established, the imperial court will continue to move the population to Liaodong." Zhao Guan's thinking is very clear, "We will take back Taiyuan, Jin Guo will never I will let it go, if the Liaodong Army Town can be established quickly and bluff, the Kingdom of Jin will not dare to go all out."

After Zhao Guanjia said this, the thinking of the chief executives became clearer.

Zhao Ning said again: "Who is suitable for this person who is going to be an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and Zhao Ning said again: "This person must be brave and resourceful. In order to stabilize the Jin Kingdom, I am willing to do some business with the Jin Kingdom, so as to buffer the battle of Taiyuan this time."

Zhao Ding said suddenly: "I do have a suitable candidate, but this person is young and has just graduated from the University of Tokyo."

"Who?"

"This person's name is Yu Yunwen, and he is a brave and resourceful young man."

Qin Hui said: "Mr. Zhao, this person has just graduated, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"No! Just this person!" Zhao Ning immediately made a decision. He didn't expect that Yu Yunwen would go to Tokyo University to study, and he didn't expect that Zhao Ding would recommend Yu Yunwen.

This is a famous person in history!

Qin Hui said again: "Your Majesty knows people well, dares to use young people, and I admire you."

"Let Yu Yunwen come to see me later."

"Yes!"

The Zaizhi were very surprised that a fresh graduate student was lucky enough to see Tianyan.

"As for these matters, Mr. Zhao has full authority to arrange them. Everything is very urgent. I don't want to fight with Jin Guo in the past two years, but if they want to fight, Guochao must make sufficient preparations."

Everyone said: "The minister waits to leave."

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Zong was ill a few days ago. Why don't you transfer him back to Tokyo. I can also discuss state affairs with him from time to time."

Zhang Shuye said: "I also think so, I will make arrangements now."

The imperial decree sent from Tokyo to Taiyuan flew northward all the way, and the sophisticated administrative system of the Song Dynasty began to turn.

Transferring 20 people from Jingji Road and Hedong to the north is not difficult for the current mobilization system of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Han Shizhong, who was far away in Dengzhou, had already begun to send the first batch of soldiers and civilians to Liaodong.

Huge sea ships docked on the coast of Dengzhou, and teams of uniform troops stepped onto the ships.

Zhang Rong came over and said, "The Han system has been arranged."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work."

"It's what the last general should do."

Han Shizhong turned to Zhao Chen and said, "His Royal Highness, do you really want to go to Liaodong with us?"

"Xiao Wang has already submitted a letter to the court and obtained approval."

"Okay, since His Highness insists on going, I will not stop him, but His Highness must be more careful, in case someone assassinates His Highness again."

"Han Tongzhi doesn't have to worry about Xiao Wang."

Han Shizhong was worried, he was shocked that Zhao Chen was assassinated in his territory.

Who on earth wants this king of Qi to die?

He has already written a secret report on this matter and sent it back to Guan Zhao's family.

Zhao Chen said: "Han Tongzhi, I can help. When I was studying with my teacher in Bianjing, I also learned some fortifications."

"How do you imprison Your Highness?"

Zhao Chen said: "It's okay, I can do whatever they can do!"

Han Shizhong nodded. He remembered that when Zhao Chen first came, he drank every day and lay in bed all day.

Then suddenly one day, I ran to him and said that I would join his team.

At first Han Shizhong objected, but Zhao Chen knelt down directly.

How could Han Shizhong bear it, so he agreed.

During this period of observation, although Zhao Chen is immature, he is really hardworking!

In order to achieve his goal, let him run for twenty miles with a single muscle, and he will definitely not be able to run until he faints.

Zhao Ning woke up after a short rest at noon, and Wang Huaiji said that Yu Yunwen was already waiting outside the hall.

When Yu Yunwen entered the palace, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Students see His Majesty, long live."
