Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Xixia!

Xingqing Mansion!

Xixia and the Song Dynasty interrupted their negotiations, and the two countries almost cut off contact. Not only did they suffer heavy economic losses, but news from the two countries usually lagged far behind.

However, some hidden channels are still operating, quietly conveying news from the two countries.

"Make silver taels into silver coins!"

Xixia did not react much to the Song Dynasty's casting of silver coins. After all, there was not much silver in Xixia, and even if it was minted, it would not make much money. What really shocked Xixia was the Royal Bank.

"Tens of millions of dollars!"

When they learned that the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty owned tens of millions of young people's money, the entire Xixia court became jealous.

Wan Wan Guan, what a concept this is.

Although Xixia is brave, its national power is weak. Even if the entire Xixia country's silver is added up, it may not be able to collect tens of millions. Such a huge wealth lies in the Song Dynasty, and how can Xixia, which has always been poor, not be jealous.

"The people of the Song Dynasty are so rich and Xixia is so miserable. How unfair is this!" Nendobao said in a hateful voice.

Wei Ming A Wu solemnly said: "Not only that, with the Royal Bank here, the Song Dynasty can easily use tens of millions of money, and even more in the future, and its national power will definitely become stronger day by day. However, the Song Dynasty has sinister intentions and is cold war with us in Xixia." , captured Qingtang, and won over the Liao Kingdom, causing Xixia to become increasingly impoverished. If this continues, Xixia will be in danger."

Since the Song Dynasty's reform, the Song Dynasty has become stronger to the naked eye, while Xixia suffered two disastrous defeats at Pingxia City. Coupled with the Cold War between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the gap between Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty will become wider and wider.

"Then I, Xixia, will use all our troops to go to Kaifeng to snatch back these tens of millions of dollars." Empress Dowager Xiaoliang said crazily.

Liang Yibu frowned and said: "The Queen Mother must not be reckless. You think the reason why the Song Dynasty dared to claim to have tens of millions of money is because it has thunder and the ability to protect itself. You forgot twice. Was Pingxia City defeated?"

Suddenly, there was a silence in the Xixia Palace.

Xixia has always had a strategic offensive against the Song Dynasty. However, after the Battle of Pingxia City, this advantage disappeared and no longer existed.

"No, it's just a sky-shaking thunder? It's just gunpowder and an iron shell! I, Xixia, can also make it." Nendo Baozhong gritted his teeth.

The structure of Zhentian Lei is simple, and the formula of gunpowder is not top secret. Not only the Liao Kingdom, but also Xixia can make it.

Liang Yibu sneered: "Xixia can indeed create thunder, but so what. Thunder is a weapon for defending the city, not a magic weapon for siege. It can exert great power with the help of the city wall from a high position. You have thunder under the city." What’s the use?”

"Master Prime Minister, don't let Song Wei Feng grow up and destroy our Xixia aspirations." Renduo Baozhong angrily rebuked.

Liang Yibu sneered and said, "The truth is true. I don't want my Xixia man to lose his life in vain again."

"Okay, this won't work, that won't work either! Could it be that Xixia just watched the Song Dynasty grow stronger and waited for death?" Empress Dowager Xiaoliang said angrily.

The ministers of Xixia fell silent. Naturally, they were not willing to sit still and wait for death. However, the Song Dynasty, which possessed the thunderous thunder, was like a hedgehog, causing Xixia's head to bleed every time he touched it.

"The Queen Mother is overjoyed! The Song Dynasty opened up the Maritime Silk Road and violated the Song-Liao alliance. The Liao Emperor was furious and stationed 200,000 troops in the sixteen states of Yanyun. He invited Xixia to jointly send troops."

"really?"

Queen Mother Xiaoliang was immediately overjoyed.

The ministers of Xixia also cheered. The Liao Kingdom finally realized the threat of the Song Dynasty and could no longer sit back and watch the Song Dynasty grow.

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang immediately said loudly: "Pass this order, all the soldiers of Xixia will definitely defeat the Song Dynasty in one battle and restore the Song Dynasty coins. However, this time it will not take 300,000 gu to stop the troops." "

The ministers of Xixia suddenly showed a trace of cruelty. Since the Song Dynasty was so rich, how could they easily get rid of 300,000 guan? A million guan was not enough.

At present, the two countries of Liao and Xia united, mobilized all their armies, and marched to the border of the Song Dynasty.

The two countries' intentions were mainly coercion, and they believed that they had a chance to win, so they would definitely make the Song Dynasty voluntarily surrender, and they did so with great fanfare and no secret.

"Liao and Xia jointly sent troops to the Song Dynasty!"

The Song Dynasty soon received a secret report of the dispatch of troops from the two countries, and Kaifeng was shocked.

"How dare Liao Xia do this?"

Zhao Xu said angrily.

Now that the Song Dynasty was in ruins and waiting to be revived, Zhao Xu had tried his best to avoid enmity with Liao and Xia, but he did not expect that the two countries would jointly send troops to threaten the Song Dynasty.

"The Liao Kingdom sent troops without any reason, and it was actually a betrayal of Tan Yuan's alliance!" Zhang Dun said angrily.

"Reporting to the officials, the Liao Kingdom stationed 200,000 troops in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun on the grounds that the Song Dynasty destroyed the Silk Road in exchange for annual coins, and asked the Song Dynasty to stop the Maritime Silk Road!" Su Shi, the Minister of Rites, said with a solemn expression. .

“Stop the Maritime Silk Road!”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar. The profits from sea trade were the guarantee for the issuance of national debt by the Song Dynasty. If it stopped, the issuance of national debt by the Song Dynasty would completely bring down the Song Dynasty.

"That's nonsense! The Silk Road controlled by the Liao Kingdom was for trading with the countries in the Western Regions. However, the Maritime Silk Road of the Song Dynasty is currently only going to the East and South Seas. There is no conflict of interest with the countries in the Western Regions." Minister of Rites Cai Bian said angrily.

The faces of all the officials in the court were unhappy. Goryeo and Fusang had trade relations with the Song Dynasty since ancient times, and the countries in Southeast Asia often paid homage to the Song Dynasty. Now Tong Guan's fleet is wandering in the Southeast Asia, passing through countries and land. Silk Road has nothing to do with it.

"Master Cai, please pass the order to the Liao envoy and explain it clearly to the Liao envoy." Lu Dafang frowned.

Cai Bian said with a wry smile: "How could I not have an explanation? However, the Liao envoys did not listen at all. They even said that if the Song Dynasty did not stop the Maritime Silk Road, they would increase the annual coins to two million guan!"

"Two million strings!"

As soon as Cai Bian finished speaking, the entire Chui Gong Hall was in an uproar.

What is the concept of two million guans? It suddenly increased the annual coins by four times. The 500,000 guans at that time overwhelmed the Song Dynasty. Two million guans would have killed the Song Dynasty.

"The Liao Kingdom is really a lion's mouth!" No matter how steady Su Song was, he couldn't help but angrily yelled.

The Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom cooperated on the Silk Road. The huge profits have reached nearly one million yuan, and all of them have been owned by the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom is not satisfied yet, and even does not allow the Song Dynasty to open the Maritime Silk Road. What's more, the Liao Kingdom The big opening wants to increase the amount of 2 million yuan!

"Not only that, Xixia also demands that the annual coin be increased to one million guan!" Su Shi said with an embarrassed expression.

"Xixia!"

The faces of all the officials in the court darkened, and they suddenly remembered that there was a vicious wolf like Xixia around the Song Dynasty. The cold war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia made this hungry wolf even hungrier, and naturally he would not let this opportunity pass by.

The Liao Kingdom had two million guans, Xixia had one million guans, and the Song Dynasty had to bear as much as 3 million guans, which was unbearable no matter what.

However, if the Song Dynasty refuses, then the Song Dynasty will face a flanking attack from the Liao and Xia countries, and may be in danger of annihilation.

Cai Jing suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the humble minister impeached Fan Zheng for his wanton and reckless actions. If he hadn't vigorously promoted the Royal Bank's young people's money, how could it have attracted Liaoxia's siege."

In an instant, all the ministers in the court looked at Fan Zheng with dissatisfaction.
