Come to Song Dynasty with the system

"Your Majesty, I have tried it out. Mengdi is now in a state of war, which has affected the Liao Kingdom's rule over them. The Liao Kingdom may send troops to Mengdi in the future, so now they must repair their relationship with us, otherwise, Once we unite with the Mongols, it will cause Liao a great headache."

Hearing Jiang Gu's words, Zhao Zhen understood clearly.He said why the Liao Kingdom had such a low attitude, and the emotional reasons were here.

It's just that Zhao Zhen knew what the Liao people were afraid of, but Zhao Zhen had no contact with the Mongolian people, let alone the idea of ​​joining forces.

For Zhao Zhen, and for more important ministers of the Song Dynasty, Mengdi was a barren land, and the people there did not understand etiquette, and they were also barbaric people.They would not unite with such a person, it would only be self-defeating.

And if they are really united, what good will Mengdi do for them?

If you win, you won't get any benefits, but if you lose, you will suffer revenge from the Liao Kingdom. It's better not to do such a thing.

Not to mention, no one knows whether this incident was a trap by the Liao Kingdom.What if Liao and Mongolia did not turn their faces, but took the initiative to lead the Song army forward, and then gathered and wiped them out?

Song had never valued Mengdi, and he didn't know much about the situation there, so they would not take such a risk.

"Very good, this time you have made a contribution, I will remember it in my heart, you go down and do something well. By the way, publicizing today's incident will greatly increase the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty." After thinking about it, Zhao Zhen put this matter behind him, and turned to thinking about how to announce the reduction of the amount of tribute to the Liao Kingdom to the people.

This also belongs to his great achievements of Zhao Zhen.

As for, in this matter, the biggest hero is actually Su Shi's matter, but Zhao Zhen can no longer reward him.

Isn't rewarding at this time telling everyone that he, as the emperor, did not have as much credit as a courtier in this matter?

Furthermore, Su Shi is young and already an official of the fourth rank. If he is rewarded again, what kind of official position should be rewarded to him?

If Su Shi made meritorious service in the future, should he still be rewarded?

If things go on like this, I'm afraid that when Su Shisan is 40 years old, he will be a first-rank official.Even if Jie Shi left this person to his son Zhao Xi, he would only be troubled by him.

After all, it is very difficult to manage the courtiers who have no rewards, and if one is not handled well, big things will happen.

He couldn't express the reward, but Zhao Zhen thought that if Su Shi had any request in the near future, he could try his best to satisfy it, and it would be good to make up for the other party.

......

North Station.

Zhang Jian, who still had anger on his face, locked himself in the room after returning to the post house, as if he didn't see anyone.

On the surface, Zhang Jian suffered a disadvantage this time.The amount of tribute was reduced too much, and he, the envoy, lost Daliao's face.

But when the door was really closed and temporarily isolated from outsiders, Zhang Jian laughed out loud.

That's right, on the surface, Zhang Jian paid a certain price in order to get the goods in Su Shi's hands this time.The sharp decrease in the number of tributes seems to indicate that the status of the Liao and Song Dynasties has become equal.But in fact, the strength of the two countries is never reflected in these figures.

You are strong if you are strong, and it does not mean that you are weak just because the amount of tribute paid decreases.

On the contrary, if you are weak, you are weak, and you will not be strong just because the amount of tribute is reduced.

Zhang Jianming knew this, but he still made a huge concession. After all, he had a big plan.

First, the Liao Kingdom is indeed preparing to send troops to Mongolia.

Since Su Shi took the Su family army to Mongolia, he created a powerful Kaqi tribe.

The Kaqi tribe grew stronger through constant fighting, unlike the Mongolian ruling tribes here before, they became the masters of this piece of land with the support of the Liao people.

He did not receive the grace of the Liao people. After Su Shi left Mongolia, after the beginning of spring, the Liao Kingdom sent people into Mongolia and met Urige, the patriarch of the Kaqi tribe, and asked him to treat them like the Mongolian tribe who ruled here before. When paying heavy taxes and paying heavy money, they will naturally not agree.

Not only did they not agree, but the Kaqi tribe who came out of the war also beat out the envoys sent by the Liao people.

Although he was not killed, he was beaten with a black nose and a swollen face, which made the Liao Kingdom lose face.

After the incident was reported back to Shangjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, the court of the Liao Kingdom was boiling, and many people stood up and demanded that the Kaqi tribe be punished.

The faces of the Liao people were slapped. If they couldn't fight back, what would others think of them?In the future, will they still have face in Daliao, and will they still have a foothold on this land?

Liao Xingzong was also very annoyed.

If it was said that the Song people took advantage of their huge losses in the south and launched a counterattack, he could understand it. After all, if it was such a good opportunity, if it was him, he would definitely find a way to send troops to regain the lost ground.

But this time it is Mengren who wants to rebel against himself, so how can he agree.

After some deliberations at the court of the Liao Kingdom, it was decided that Xiao Hui, the privy envoy of the South Court, would personally lead 20 troops and send troops to Mongolia to clean up the Kaqi tribe. It is untouchable.

Whoever touches it will die.

This matter has been defined, but it will take at least half a year to prepare.Before Zhang Jian came to the Song Dynasty this time, the Liao Kingdom had already begun to mobilize various military supplies.It made him come to Da Song this time with one more mission, which was to observe Da Song's attitude towards this matter.

If the Song Dynasty wanted to take the opportunity to send troops, the Liao Kingdom would need to make more preparations.

That's why Zhang Jian intentionally revealed this information when negotiating with Jiang Gu today, in order to test Da Song's attitude.

The news was released, but Zhang Jian didn't know Da Song's attitude. He returned to his room, and quickly called his loyal servant Lian Jing, "Go and contact Da Zongzheng right away. Ask him about the reaction of the Great Song Dynasty Hall to the Liao general’s dispatch of troops to Mongolia, and quickly send back the news. By the way, you are sending a message to Da Zongzheng, telling him that our Daliao is supporting him, if there is any need in the future , you can tell us.”

Zhang Jian is a well-known wise minister in the Liao Kingdom, and what he is most willing to play is the human heart.

As a neighboring country and the largest neighboring country of the Liao Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Zhang Jian naturally knows how the high-level power is distributed, including the possible distribution of power in the future.

He had already learned from various sources that Song Guozong Zheng Zhao Yunrang was a very ambitious person, which of course Zhang Jian was happy to see.

A united neighboring country is of course not what the Liao Kingdom wants, and if the Song Dynasty can be split from within, this is what Zhang Jian is looking forward to.Now he sent a loyal servant to contact Zhao Yunrang, which is a kind of temptation.

If it succeeds, the two parties have established a tacit understanding. After the first contact, there will be enough excuses for the next contact.

Conversely, it doesn't matter if it fails.

If this Zhao Yunrang told the Emperor of Song Dynasty about him that he had contacted, as an envoy of the Liao Kingdom, the other party would not dare to do anything to him.This also testifies that the road of uniting Zhao Yunrang and weakening Da Song is not feasible, and it can be regarded as a gain.

Under the circumstances that he would not suffer any disadvantages, of course Zhang Jian would not let go of such an opportunity.

After Lian Jing agreed, he turned around and left.He has been with Zhang Jian for many years and has first-class skills. If he is entrusted with this matter, Zhang Jian is naturally at ease.

Regarding the matter of marching into Mongolia, Zhang Jian should have tried and tested, but after he couldn't do anything, he then thought of cooperating with Su Shi.

At first glance, it seems that buying goods from Su Shi at double the price is indeed a big loss.But Zhang Jian doesn't think so.

It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Liao Dynasty. From the beginning of war, to the current high-level officials who are greedy for pleasure, they have already lost most of their fighting spirit. This is the biggest hidden danger.

It's just happiness and misfortune for soldiers living in peaceful times.

The happiness is that they don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, risking their lives to fight and kill.

Unfortunately, there is no room for ambitious soldiers. From then on, they can only work through their qualifications step by step and get promoted little by little.Maybe one day, their positions will be promoted, but they are also old, and their hearts are also old, and they don't have the fighting spirit of their youth.

The extravagance of the Liao army has gradually become a trend. With no battles to fight and no achievements to make, it is no longer possible to attract truly insightful people to join, and there is no better environment for ambitious people to grow. If things go on like this, I am afraid It won't be long before the combat effectiveness of the Liao army will be greatly reduced, and at this time, if a strong enemy appears in the sky, the great Liao may be in danger.

People without thought, he must worry about.

As a wise minister, Zhang Jian needs to consider how to change this situation. Buying goods from Su Shi is the solution he thought of.

If you want the Liao army to become full of fighting spirit again, you need to set a goal for them, a very valuable goal.

In the past, the Liao Kingdom was immortal and the Song Dynasty, apart from its own lack of strength, the Song Dynasty had a very low attitude towards the Liao Kingdom, asking for money and goods, and people could not find an excuse to send troops.

In addition, what the Song Dynasty had, the Liao people also had. If you pay too much and win the battle, but you don't get enough benefits, what's the use of fighting this battle?

It is different now. In the Song Dynasty, there appeared burning knives, benevolent tea, cigarettes, silk cloth and other things that made people greedy.This is equivalent to putting a mountain of gold there, which is enough to arouse people's greed.

Zhang Jian is not afraid that the Liao soldiers are greedy and ambitious.On the contrary, he worried that the Liao soldiers lived too comfortably and lost their fighting spirit.

This time, he wants to buy the goods because he wants to send these things to the Liao Kingdom, so that everyone can know how rich Song Dynasty is now and how many good things they have never seen before.And as long as this can be used to arouse everyone's ambitions, in order to satisfy their own desires, the Liao army will take the initiative to request troops to send troops to the Song Dynasty. This is Zhang Jian's ultimate goal.

Conceived the crime.

When a person does not have enough strength but possesses treasures, it is likely to be the time to burn himself.

Thinking that one day, Daliao soldiers would enter the land of Song Dynasty, Daliao would become stronger because of it, Zhang Jian felt a smile on his face, he seemed to have seen that day, saw that the Liao people became the ultimate land of this land. The day of the ruler.
