Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The emperor brought the prime ministers and hundreds of officials of the empire to discuss the details with the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin.

Therefore, the next operation will become clear.

The ministers sent special people to discuss the details until Zhao Ning was satisfied.

In the end, Zhao Guan's family put the common people first, agreed to negotiate a peace, and the two parties signed a contract, which was basically completed.

But it is said that after the audience in the main hall, Wanyan Udabu was taken down to play in Bianjing City.

Wanyan Wudabu and his group were immediately attracted by the prosperity of Bianjing.

The place where the Kingdom of Jin went to Beijing was originally a small town on the border. After the Kingdom of Jin was established, the population of the Liao Kingdom and the population of the Song Dynasty and Hebei Province were moved there.

He also forced a large number of craftsmen to go there, and a big city was built in a short time.

But in terms of layout, architecture, economy, culture, and entertainment prosperity, even a fraction of Bianjing may not be as good as it.

Today's Bianjing City has a total population of more than 200 million. A new city has been expanded outside the city. The new city has also set up markets for various functions to prepare for the absorption of commodities from all over the country.

The crossings of the Bian River, Cai River, Wuzhang River, and Jinshui River have increased several times in ten years.

On March 21, when the Jin envoy traveled to Bianjing, Zhang Jun returned to the capital.

When Zhang Jun arrived at Gyeonggi-ro, the news spread to Tokyo that day, causing great shock.

Everyone was surprised: Zhang Jun returned to Tokyo?

Zhang Jun's return to Tokyo means that the rumors of rebellion are self-defeating.

But many people still don't believe it, thinking that Zhang Jun's return to Tokyo is just a rumor, and there is no news that Zhang Jun is coming back.

Until the news of Zhang Jun's arrival in Tokyo was confirmed on March 22, most people believed that Zhang Jun had indeed returned.

Well, it appears that the rebellion was indeed a rumor.

In the evening of that day, when Qin Hui returned to the mansion, Mrs. Wang changed his clothes for him and said casually, "I heard that Zhang Jun has returned to Beijing?"

"came back."

Wang said: "A few days ago, did you mention that you would send people to provoke Zhang Jun and the court?"

"Yes." Qin Hui said bluntly.

In fact, he would tell Wang Shi before doing many things.

Wang's biggest advantage is his thoughtfulness.

She sent people to do business on the border between Song and Jin for many years, and she has not been caught so far.

At least until now, no one has come up with evidence.

"Now that Zhang Jun is back, isn't this provocation useless?"

Chapter 1146 Military and political balance? (Second more)

"I don't know my beloved." Qin Hui said, "Whether Zhang Jun will return or not, and now weakening the frontier army, has become the consensus of the whole court. The envoys of the country came to discuss peace, and the truce is the general trend."

"The officials mean that the imperial court and the frontier army no longer trust you?"

"It cannot be said that there is no distrust. There is definitely a gap, and with the weakening of external pressure, the threat of frontier troops has become prominent. What to do next is not a disagreement, but a consensus. When Zhao Ding met the Jin envoy a few days ago, Zhao Ding Proposing a peace agreement is the general trend, which shows that even Zhao Ding knows what to do now and what not to do."

"What to do?"

"Reorganize border affairs, truce and negotiate peace."

"Can the officials agree?"

"This is exactly what the official wants." Qin Hui sighed, as if the big rock hanging in his heart had finally come down, "Our official, with a heart like the sea, is hard to guess, when you think you guessed right When he thinks, he must reveal it intentionally."

"What about this time? Did you intend to reveal it?"

"Not this time, this time the situation has arrived, and the officials can't do otherwise." Qin Hui's originally calm eyes showed a fiery light, "There is no emperor who does not panic about the current situation, even if he No matter how well you cover it up, what's more, the lessons from the former Tang Dynasty are still vivid in your mind!"

"Then how will the officials deal with the border guards?"

"As long as the Song and Jin Dynasties negotiate peace, the officials will inevitably take action. One is to rotate, and the other is to recall some respected old people to the Tokyo Military Academy for meditation. It is to bring a large part of the frontier army back to the capital and restore the situation of previous dynasties."

Qin Hui said in a very affirmative tone.

"The fourth point is the most important. The country's most capable generals will of course gather near Gyeonggi."

Wang thought about it, and she said: "If this is the case, why don't the officials go to the audience and explain the pros and cons to the officials, and the officials must think that the officials understand the righteousness and relieve the king's worries."

"It's not yet the right time. When the court implements these four points, rumors will inevitably spread, which will aggravate the mutual suspicion between the court and the frontier army. At that time, people will be panicked, and His Majesty will not be at peace. It is in a dilemma. At that time, it is the best time for me to come forward. opportunity."

Qin Hui seemed to remember something, and added: "Perhaps this time is the best time to deal with King Liao."

In the early morning of March 23, Zhao Ning had just finished his meal and walked to the entrance of the Wende Hall, when he saw a person standing in front of the hall through the late spring.

That man was dressed in an official robe and had a tall and straight figure. It was Zhang Jun.

"Master Zhang." Zhao Ning walked over quickly.

"I see Your Majesty, I wish you Sheng'an."

"Did you have breakfast?"

"The minister has had breakfast."

"Go, let's talk inside."

Zhang Jun and Zhao Ning entered Wende Hall, and Wang Huaiji ordered someone to make tea.

The two monarchs and ministers took their seats in the Wende Hall.

"When did you come back?"

"Arrived in the capital yesterday evening."

"I originally planned to let you stay in Xingzhou for two more months, but now something unexpected happened, and I hastily called you back. It's hard for you."

"The official's words are serious. This matter was also mishandled by the minister. Last year, he should have followed the official all the way back."

"If you are not in Xingzhou, I don't worry about it. Liu Kai is good at military affairs, and civil affairs are beyond his ability."

"Officials!" Zhang Jun stood up suddenly, saluted, knelt on the ground and said, "I would like to resign and return to my hometown."

"What do you mean sir?"

"I have stayed in the Northwest for ten years. In order to manage the army, it is inevitable that I will be honest. The personnel in the Northwest has not been changed for ten years, and I am suspected of being self-respecting. I have self-knowledge."

"Northwest, I personally asked you to go there. If you hadn't been in Chang'an back then, Bianjing might have fallen in the three years of Jingkang battle. You have been working hard in Chang'an for ten years. You have managed the army well and are talented in the Shaanxi army." Ji Ji, this is all thanks to you."

"I don't dare to take credit for this. I was originally just a humble master. Although I had a heart of innocence, it was Your Majesty's extraordinary promotion and appointment that allowed me to fulfill my ambitions. Now that the country is at peace, I should resign, so as not to be resigned because of me. There is chaos, and the ministers are panicked."

"Your words are serious." Zhao Ning helped Zhang Jun up, "If Qing leaves, who do I rely on to manage military affairs?"

Zhang Jun is still very good at formulating strategies and handling logistics.

"Mr. Shu Ye is old, and his health is not good now. Mr. Zong is also old. He has been recuperating in the south of the Yangtze River. I can't bear to let them go out of the mountain again. Guochao needs you."

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Ning patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder and said, "Let's chat about some serious business."

Zhang Jun felt guilty, but he no longer shirked it.

"The envoy of Jin came to the capital and proposed a peace agreement. What do you think of this matter?"

Zhang Jun said: "I haven't had much contact with the Jin people in these years, and I don't know much about the Jin people. However, the Jin people are famous for their tigers and wolves. The Fourth Prince ordered hundreds of thousands of troops to attack our Anbei Mansion in the Song Dynasty last year, which shows that he killed me." The heart of the Song Dynasty is not dead, this time the peace negotiation must be the same as in the past, it is a compromise strategy of the Jin people."

"This time, it was promoted by Wan Yanchang, the Duke of Lu of the Kingdom of Jin. Wan Yanchang hoped to negotiate a peace with Song Dynasty very early on. The two countries get along like Song and Liao. Now the Jin envoy Wanyan Udabu is Wanyan Chang Son, I believe he really wants to make peace, but..."

Zhang Jun took over the conversation and said, "The Fourth Prince still holds the power, and there are differences within the Kingdom of Jin. Even if this Jin envoy really wants to negotiate peace, there are too many variables."

"What do you mean?"

"It may also be an expedient strategy of the Fourth Prince's Wushu. Temporarily compromise, seize power internally, and paralyze us. After rectifying Jin's internal affairs, it will definitely come back."

Zhao Ning couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "But many people in the court now think that a truce is necessary. After the truce, the frontier army needs to be rectified. Some people even strongly demand that a large number of frontier troops be transferred back to the capital."

Zhang Jun said: "It's absolutely impossible. If the frontier army is moved now, if the Jin people come back immediately, won't we repeat the crisis in the first year of Jingkang?"

"I have Qing to serve as a military and political envoy, and I feel at ease."

"I will live up to the trust of the officials."

Zhang Jun took office, and the rumors of rebellion have been self-defeating.

This is the case in the officialdom. Yesterday you might be a traitor, but today there are officials queuing up to visit you with generous gifts.

But no one realized that Fan Zhixu, who returned to Beijing with Zhao Guan's family, had been quietly appointed as the deputy military and political envoy.

No one knew that when he was in Xixia, Fan Zhixu had suggested to Zhao Guanjia to rectify the military defense.

Zhang Jun believes that the best way to deal with the frontier army is to set up more military academies, so that officers can enter the military academies for further studies, and new officers must also come out from there.

In this way, to ensure the loyalty of the officers to the imperial court.

Then vigorously strengthen the military inspector's inspection of the army to ensure the stability of the army.

But Fan Zhixu was a radical in rectifying military affairs. Fan Zhixu explained to Zhao Ning at that time that the more garrison law must be restored.

Even Fan Zhixu openly pointed out in the debate on private lending not long ago that the army might unite with local consortiums, which is a serious danger.

It was such a person who became the deputy military and political envoy.

Chapter 1147 Yue Fei, the Protector of Anbei Protectorate Mansion ([-]rd update)

The peace negotiation between Song and Jin was progressing rapidly, mainly represented by Li Ruoshui, who had a detailed exchange with Wanyan Wudabu.

In the end, the two sides happily reached the following points:

[-]. The two sides will become brotherly countries and have good relations forever.

[-]. The two sides fully open up commerce and trade, engage in free trade, no longer set up a discussion field, and let the private sector lead.

This second point was emphatically emphasized by Zhao Ning, and Jin Guo must agree.

Wanyan Wuda agreed together.

[-]. The two sides send envoys to say hello every year.

[-]. The two sides bounded from Yunneizhou, Yanmenguan, south of Weizhou, Yizhou, and Bazhou in the west, and Gaizhou was the boundary in eastern Liaodong. The south of Gaizhou belonged to the Song Dynasty, and the north of Gaizhou belonged to the Jin Dynasty.

30. The two sides agreed to withdraw [-] troops from the border within three years.

These five items are more direct and in-depth than the previous peace talks between Song and Jin Dynasties.

Moreover, Wanyan Wudabu made a final decision, which meant that before he set off, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyanquan, gave him a bottom line.

None of these five items exceeded Wan Yanqin's bottom line.

That's why it went so smoothly.

On March 28, the two parties formally signed the Song-Jin Peace Treaty in Bianjing, which was called the "Bianjing Alliance" by the world.

On March 29, the headline of the Sijing newspaper was the news of the peace talks between Song and Jin, which shocked the whole country for a while.

Some militants among the people cried with their heads in their arms, and shouted loudly: "Yanyun has been lost to foreigners for nearly 200 years. I don't know when he will be able to return to his homeland in the Central Plains. Sorrow! Sorrow!"

And more people are celebrating, because this means that in the future, the government will no longer recruit supplies in the name of war, or temporarily recruit civilians to go north.

At least when the children asked their mothers why they laughed happily, the mothers replied: "We don't have to worry that your father will leave us forever at any time."

At least the homeland of the founding of the Song Dynasty has been fully recovered, and the imperial court has made military extensions to the Yinshan and Yellow River areas. Since the year before last, immigration has begun. Now 10 people have arrived in Anbei Prefecture, and even crossed the Yellow River to enter the rich Yinshan.

However, the Xixia crisis in the northwest has been completely resolved, and the military service in Shaanxi has been greatly reduced. After hearing this, the people of the six roads in Shaanxi all praised the current emperor as the wise king.

In this year, Hehuang in the northwestern border of the empire also entered a period of national integration.

The Northwest pattern, which had been deadlocked for a long time, was shattered and revived with vitality.

The era belonging to the Han people, after the Anshi Rebellion, after nearly 400 years, it seems to have returned again.

The people of Song broke away from the conservatism of the past, and their eyes began to turn to Yinshan, Hexi, Koryo, the more distant South China Sea, and Japan on the other side of the East China Sea.

It seems that the war is really over.

But on the second day after Song Jingang signed the peace treaty, Zhao Ning convened the governors of the two prefectures to discuss a major event: set up the Anbei Protectorate in Anbei Mansion, appoint Yue Fei as the Anbei Protector, and use Anbei City as a base to start a confrontation. Military strikes by the Wangu people.

The reason is simple. Last year, the Wang Gu people had reached an alliance with Song Dynasty, but they reneged on the alliance in the Battle of Yinshan.

Some people say that Zhao Guanjia's steps are all about politics, but every step is about expanding the border.

From a political perspective, transferring Yue Fei to Anbei Mansion is equivalent to implementing the long-suspended garrison law and weakening Yue Fei's personal influence on the Shenwu Army.

From a military point of view, fighting the ancient Wang people was just a reason. The essence was that the Song Dynasty had fully occupied the territory south of Yinshan Mountain, in order to completely control Yinshan Mountain and prepare for the future sword against Mobei.
