Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant
Page 852
"Easy to say, easy to say."
"The envoy told me, how can we cooperate?"
"Your Ministry has good horses, cattle and sheep, and my dynasty has tea, salt, cloth, and grain, all of which can be traded."
"Barter directly?"
Liu Yi said, "It's feasible."
"How about a reward from the emperor for a remote place like ours?"
"At that time, the business between the two sides will be known to Khan."
"Where is the business location?"
"Woruduo City."
After leaving the Qiyan tribe, Liu Yi successively visited other tribes in the grassland.
In the 13th year of Jingkang, the Song Dynasty officially began to contact with various ministries of the grassland.
This is actually a political necessity.
Some people said that they should have sent people to the grassland to contact the various ministries long ago, so that the Kingdom of Jin would not be able to take the lead.
This rotation is probably on paper.
The ministries of the grassland were extremely unfamiliar with the Central Plains Dynasty, and the envoys sent by the Central Plains Dynasty were mostly in vain, and they might even be laughed at.
But after the battle with the Kelei tribe, the attitudes of the grassland ministries towards the Central Plains Dynasty completely changed.
Sit down now and talk again, no doubt much smoother.
Therefore, negotiating is not just a scholar's mouth, just talking about it.
Behind the diplomacy, there must have been real military contests.
The situation in the Song, Jin, and grasslands was changing, and the situation in the Northwest was also changing.
The 13th year of Jingkang was a year of drastic changes. In the remote Western Regions, Yelu Dashi continued to expand westward, and encountered the overlord Seljuk Empire further west.
The contradiction between the two sides has reached the point of irreconcilability, and a big war is about to break out there.
Of course, the situation in the Western Regions has not affected the situation in the Song and Jin Dynasties and the grasslands for the time being.
However, the situation in Japan has a long-term impact on the situation in the Western Regions.
Why can two irrelevant places have an impact?
It's very simple, because silver is constantly being transshipped on board at the seaport of Iwami country.
Han Shizhong captured Shi Jianguo in March, and in August, [-] jin of silver mines were transported ashore in Hangzhou Bay, and transported all the way along the canal to the capital.
The pace of mining is still accelerating.
Zhao Ning couldn't wait to reserve a large amount of gold and silver and invest them in the Western Regions, or even wider areas.
On August [-]th, Kyoto.
Emperor Chongde walked back and forth, and he was very anxious at this time, because the envoy he sent to Iwami was detained.
The two people who were released told Han Shizhong what he had said.
The tough attitude of the Song people made Emperor Chongde both angry and helpless.
"Your Majesty! What are you worried about?" Guan Bai Fujiwara asked faithfully.
"The Song people detained the envoy and were unwilling to retreat." Emperor Chongtoku said, "This matter has troubled me for more than half a month."
"It's a good deal."
"How to solve it?"
"Directly send a large army to Shi Jianguo to destroy the Song army." Taizheng Minister Fujiwara Chumichi said.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal." Yuan Youren said.
"If there is a war with the Song army, the trade line between Song and Japan will be interrupted." Emperor Chongde said with a crying face.
"Don't hide it from your Majesty!" Fujiwara Tadashi suddenly said loudly, "I have arranged for the Dazaifu to take action against the Song Dynasty embassy! Now the Song Dynasty envoys are all dead!"
Chapter 1283 The Crazy Actions of the Japanese Authorities (Part [-])
"What did you say!"
Emperor Chongtoku was startled by Fujiwara Tadada's words and jumped up on the spot, Hira Tadamori was even more stunned.
"This is also the idea of the ministers!"
Not only did Tadashi Fujiwara not have the slightest fear, but he was righteous and strict, as if he had done a very honorable thing for Japan.
Other ministers, such as Taizheng Minister Fujiwara Tadamichi, Left Minister Minamoto Yuhito and other important ministers who hold real power, nodded solemnly, expressing their support for the decision of Kanbai Fujiwara Tadashi.
Ping Zhongsheng said angrily: "This is offending Da Song! It won't do us any good! Guan Bai made his own decisions and ignored His Majesty!"
"It's not your turn, a humble samurai, to speak here!" Taizheng Minister Fujiwara Chumichi shouted loudly, "All those in power in the court come from ministers, who are you?"
Ping Zhongsheng's face was blue and white, very ugly.
As the only person in the warrior class who can currently sit here, he is actually weak in the court.
The Fujiwara family has been in power for hundreds of years, and he, the local samurai leader, cannot compete.
The fact that the Ping family really came to power was the Baoyuan Rebellion in history. The family of Gongqing had to rely on the power of samurai because of the internal struggles of the Gongqing family. Since then, samurai began to appear on the stage of Japanese history.
But at this time, there are still more than ten years before the Baoyuan Rebellion.
Emperor Chongtoku was so angry that his whole body was shaking, but he didn't dare to really tear his face with Fujiwara Chushi.
Japan's court situation is more complicated than that of the Song Dynasty. It is true that Chongde is the emperor, but Emperor Toba, who passed the throne to Chongde, is not dead yet, and has a considerable amount of power.
The so-called Baoyuan Rebellion was also a royal infighting that occurred when Emperor Toba (the Supreme Emperor) was unhappy with Chongde and forced him to abdicate.
The Gongqing family was weak because of the participation of various interests, so they began to rely on the power of the samurai.
Therefore, the position of Emperor Chongde is not easy to sit in. This group of ministers can completely fight against him at critical moments, because there is an emperor with higher prestige than him behind him.
Chongde sighed, but didn't say what he wanted to say.
Fujiwara Tadashi continued: "Your Majesty, the people of Song Dynasty have sent a large number of elaborators to us in the name of trade over the years, which is fatal to us!"
Ping Zhongsheng couldn't help it anymore, he scolded: "Guan Bai's doing so will arouse the anger of the Celestial Dynasty. If the Celestial Dynasty sends troops, what should we do?"
"It's us who should be angry now!" Taizheng Minister Fujiwara Chumichi shouted loudly, "Song people dare to send troops to Ishijian country without authorization, this is a declaration of war against us!"
"Your Majesty, the man has been killed, and the imperial court should be ready to mobilize the army again!" said the left minister Yuan Youren.
"What army?" Chongde asked.
"To wipe out the Song people in Shi Jian country completely, and not to allow Song people to appear in our country!" Yuan Youren said, "This is also the idea of all the ministers, please Your Majesty immediately order the army to be recruited!"
"Can you win?"
Fujiwara Tadashi said: "We have found out that the Song people have no more than [-] troops in Ishijian country. As long as we send troops to Ishijian country, destroy the farmland there, kill everyone, and send troops to continue to destroy the local agriculture. , the people of Song will stay soon."
"This trick of fortifying the wall and clearing the field is also self-defeating." Ping Zhongsheng said slightly mockingly.
"So what, it's just a small Shi Jianguo, driving the Song army away is the most important thing!"
Ping Zhongsheng immediately guessed the deeper reason behind it.
Trade with the Great Song Dynasty by myself, and the benefits are the greatest, and these Gongqing families will never allow this.
Moreover, Tadashi Fujiwara was obviously greedy for the silver mines in Ishimi country, and he planned to send people to dig them after driving away the Song people. After he had gold and silver in his hands, he could turn around and buy anything from the folks of Song country.
Fujiwara Tadada, the old fox's abacus is really slippery!
"Your Majesty, please immediately recruit an army, go to Shi Jian Country, and kill all those Song troops!"
Fujiwara Tadada's tone was very tough, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive, and Emperor Sotoku remained silent.
Guan Bai, the Taizheng Minister, the Left and Right Ministers, the Left and Right Dabian Officials, the Zhongbian Officials of the Eight Provinces, and the Shaobian Officials all knelt on both sides, as if they were forcing Chongde to recruit troops to declare war on the Song Dynasty.
It is raining lightly outside, and it is autumnal and slightly cool.
The scent of autumn chrysanthemums floated in the air, mixed with the incense.
Outside the quiet hall, suddenly there was a respectful voice, it was Da Cheng Yuan Zhongyi of the Ministry of War, he was a member of Ping Zhongsheng.
Ping Zhongsheng heard his voice, so he broke the deadlock of silence and said: "Your Majesty, please let Yuan Zhongyi come in and report. There is nothing trivial in the Ministry of War."
"It's nothing but those pirates." Fujiwara Tadashi said disdainfully, "The Ministry of War should adjust immediately and recruit a large army!"
"Let him in." Chongde said helplessly.
Yuan Zhongyi ran in with small steps, his face was heavy, he looked around, knelt in the center, and said, "Your Majesty!"
"What do you want to play?"
Yuan Zhongyi said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Your Majesty, there has just been an urgent report from the Dazaifu. The water castle was captured by the Song army. The national defense officer Yuan Tsunemasa died in battle. The governor of the country, Fujiwara Yorimaga, retreated to Ono Castle."
But his calm tone was still like a huge boulder hitting the already turbulent big lake, stirring up thousands of waves.
"What did you say!" Sekishiro Fujiwara Tadashi couldn't help standing up.
"Your Excellency, my subordinate said that the water city of Dazaifu was breached by the Song army!"
"How is this possible!" Taizheng Minister Fujiwara Chumichi and other ministers stood up, staring at Minamoto Tadashi who was reporting with a shocked gaze.
Even Ping Zhongsheng couldn't believe it.
"It's true, this is a letter from His Excellency Fujiwara Yorimaga!"
Fujiwara Tadamichi snatched it, and it looked quickly that it was the letter from his younger brother Fujiwara Yorimaga.
After reading it, he handed it to Fujiwara Tadada with trembling hands.
The atmosphere froze instantly.
"1 soldiers of the Song army actually went there!" Ping Zhongsheng was surprised, "Where did the Song army send so many troops to Dazaifu in a short time?"
Silence, dead silence.
"Could it be that Fujiwara Yorimaga made a mistake about the strength of the Song people?" Ping Zhongsheng wondered.
Fujiwara Tadashi said: "We have more than 1 troops in Dazaifu. Calculated from the time, we attacked the embassy of the Song people in June. Now that the battle report has come, the war has already happened at the end of June. It is impossible for the Song people to only transfer three troops. Thousands of soldiers captured the water city, so Fujiwara Yoricaga will never lie!"
"But where did the Song people mobilize [-] soldiers and horses in a short period of time?" Ping Zhongsheng said, "It's impossible to do it."
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to argue about this issue. The people of Song Dynasty have reached the Dazaifu. Please immediately call up troops from all over the country to the Dazaifu to fight to the death with the people of Song Dynasty!"
Chapter 1284 Japan's 20 Army? (Second more)
In mid-August of the 13th year of Jingkang, the situation in the Battle of Dazaifu escalated. Kyoto, Japan issued the highest order, and all regions urgently recruited troops.
Conscripting [-] regular troops into Dazaifu was not the decision of Emperor Sutoku alone, but the unanimous idea of those in power in Japan.
The fundamental reason for the outbreak of the Song-Japanese War was that the interests of both sides could not be coordinated.
At the beginning of September, the Kyoto government made it public to recruit foreign troops, which was very high-profile.
In mid-September, envoys from Kyoto arrived in Shi Jianguo again and met Han Shizhong.
The envoy strongly demanded that Han Shizhong withdraw from Japan immediately, otherwise he would bear the consequences!
Han Shizhong's attitude was relatively calm, at least his order to kill was more amiable.
The head of the Japanese envoy was hung up, and Han Shizhong was digging silver mines in Iwami country as if nothing happened.
Not only that, recently, there have been more and more ships in Iwami country's port.
A large ship and a large ship of silver ore were transported onto the ship and escorted back to Song Dynasty.
At the beginning of October, both Hangzhou Maritime and Liaodong began to mobilize the people to go to Japan.
The Japanese army discovered a large number of silver mines, and the news spread like wildfire, not only to the people of Hangzhou Prefecture, but also to Jingdong East Road.
Some people even set off from Jiangdong, ran to the seaside and took a boat all the way to Japan.
By this time, the situation had developed to a situation beyond the control of the Song court.
Many people headed to Japan spontaneously, hoping to get rich overnight.
In October, the port of Hakata is full of ships, and a boatload of people disembarks at the port of Hakata.
This made Zhao Chen, who was still eating and drinking hot food in Shuicheng, a little baffled. After learning about it, he realized that these people came to make a fortune.
