Song Beiyun

Chapter 906: Sunny January 18, 9

"Things are going further and further in an inestimable direction."

Song Beiyun was holding a secret letter from Nanjing, along with a copy of the Mongolian National Letter. This Song Ping was indeed not a baby. It seemed that his ambition was still there, and he threw out his last card.

"What are we going to do? Now we can't control all the way to Lake Baikal. If the northern steppe is declared an illegal regime, then there is nothing to stop them. You son of a bitch is going to tell you the card, while talking about the grassland. The chieftain system is uncontrollable. On the one hand, he said that he was willing to complete the unification of the Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, he forced us not to recognize the legitimacy of the northern grassland regime. In the end, he could find an excuse to be independent from the Song Dynasty, and then rely on the entire Siberia Plain for strategic depth. With the lining, there is also a bad hand. He can play a bad hand, which is amazing."

After Miaoyan put down the letter of credence, he raised his head and smiled at Song Beiyun, "It took him three full years from the promise to the official start of the discussion. If there is no follower, would you believe it?"

Song Beiyun picked up his teacup and took a sip: "The most urgent thing now is to get rid of the threat from the west, and we don't have time to waste time with the grassland. If he can delay it, of course we can too. I'll write back to Zhao Xing and ask him to delay it too." .”

"How are you going to procrastinate?"

"Issuing a ban, since they can choose to negotiate at the time of our war preparations, then we can use our war preparations to fight against the generals. Let's say that because of the war, the export of industrial products has decreased by 60.00%, the export of grain has decreased by 30.00%, raw materials Exports will be reduced by 70.00%, import and export tariffs will be increased by [-]%, and the entry and exit approval threshold will be raised." Song Beiyun threw the letter on the table impatiently: "It's not intentional to make things difficult for anyone. After all, we are ready for war, and we can't do it like before. It’s business, after all, the landlord’s family doesn’t have much surplus food, and all the right to explain it belongs to Da Song. If he wants to consume it, then we will spend it with him.”

"They can't afford it, so aren't you afraid that they will suddenly turn back and return to their previous plundering attitude?"

"I can't go back. They are in the shape of Song Dynasty from inside to outside." Song Beiyun clicked the map: "Baotou, Hohhot, Xilinhot, Bayannur in Inner Mongolia, Ulan Bator, Darkhan, Outer Mongolia Choibalsan, Erdenet, a total of eight big cities, which one is not the continuous blood transfusion of Da Song? They are eating our food and drinking our food, and now they are playing with their minds, I think Song Ping is called reckless."

Then Song Beiyun replied to Zhao Xing, and at the same time summoned the kings of the North and South Courts of the Liao Kingdom, and ordered the Liao Kingdom to start deploying defenses along the Shanxi line and conduct a military exercise with a scale of about 10 people from the north of Zhangjiakou to Tongliao.

Soon, Zhao Xing received Song Beiyun's letter. Seeing the suggestion from above, he thought that Song Beiyun was... how should I put it, a bit heartless or even cruel.

No matter what, Song Ping took his surname, called him godfather, and everyone on the grassland called him Father Khan. Is this how Father Khan treats his people?This was pushing them to a dead end, combined with Liao's military actions, anyone with a slightly normal mind would know what Song Beiyun was planning.

But this is probably the quality that a person who does great things should have. It really doesn't bring any personal emotions. Zhao Xing thought that if he went against Song Beiyun, he might lock himself in without hesitation. In the small room, you are not allowed to go out in this life.

Cruel... so cruel.

But cruelty is cruelty, his solution is the fastest solution to Song Ping's problem, so Zhao Xing changed hands and told Song Ping about the import and export ban.

Song Ping, who was at ease at the negotiating table, was suddenly overwhelmed by this set of chaotic boxing. He kept using Turkic to communicate frequently with the think tanks around him, and then quickly protested.

"There is no way. The Khan also knows that our country is now actively guarding against Western aggression. It is really helpless. Domestic capabilities are limited and there are no more resources."

Song Ping originally had another way to use force to deter, but when he used force to deter, he found that the [-] elites of the Liao Kingdom were wielding knives and guns beside his pillow. , I have no one to rely on in winter, and I don’t know what to do.” I dare not say the words.

The peace talks were terminated, and Song Ping set off for Chang'an overnight. It would take more than ten days on weekdays, but he arrived in six days.

After arriving, he didn't even bother to take a bite of the hot meal, so he just rushed in front of Song Beiyun in a sullen manner.

He looked at Song Beiyun and said with grievance: "Father Khan, why are you doing this? Isn't the grassland your people?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Song Beiyun put down his pen and took off his glasses: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"But Father Khan, your policy...isn't it to put the grassland people to death?"

"No." Song Beiyun looked blank: "My policy is mainly aimed at the countries of the Western Regions and Persia. Aren't you discussing with your Uncle Zhao? After the negotiation, won't it be my family? My family has no tariffs. , and there is no reason for import and export.”

Song Ping stared at Song Beiyun in a daze, and sat down on the chair. He heard this, and he fully understood that the cheap godfather in front of him had completely grasped his own ideas, and he showed his cards, but he still held his hand. six bombs...

"Ping'er."

"Father..." Song Ping quickly stood up: "Please tell me."

"Your father entrusted you to me back then, so I asked you, have I lived up to his entrustment in the past ten years?"

Song Ping was silent, because no matter what the purpose was, he had indeed been going smoothly these years, and everyone knew the reason for the smooth sailing. He established industries, raised livestock, improved people's livelihood, and strengthened the army. In the end, the grassland returned to the heart and dominated both sides of the Yin Mountain.

It can be said that without Song Beiyun and the support behind Da Song, it would be difficult for him to complete any of the items, not to mention that the Golden Horde was stronger than them in the beginning, stronger in all aspects, and it was almost a crushing situation .

"Father never wronged the child."

"Okay, you're almost 30 years old. It's normal to have your own thoughts. I can't teach you much about how to go in the future. Go back and think about it. If you hate me, I can't help you."

"My child dare not..."

After Song Ping came out from Song Beiyun's place, he got very drunk in the other garden. He knew that he had no chance of winning after all. If he went against Song Beiyun's planned route, his final result would probably be to go down the road. A road of no return.

Song State has a trade agreement with them, but Liao State does not.With Liao's military equipment and military strength, there is no problem in crushing them, but at this time Song only needs to say "the country's military preparations are really unable to assist", then no one can fault it.

The next day Song Ping bid farewell to Song Beiyun and hurried to Jinling.The first thing he did after returning home was to summon the leaders of the grassland tribes to Beijing to discuss major issues, and he never made too many demands, nor did he make any small gestures quietly.

The discussion continued until the end of the spring of the second year, and the trend of the major powers was basically determined. Liao Kingdom has finally become a country within a state. Except for a few estuaries, all other territories are bordered by Song Kingdom.

In April of the same year, the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom succeeded to the throne. After the crown prince took the throne, he did not change the national policy, continued to use the current convergence policy, fully liberalized the Song and Liao household registration policies, and recognized the examination results of Chang'an, Luzhou, and Jinling.In addition, Chang'an and Luzhou also recognize the examination results of Luoyang and Anyang, laying a solid foundation for the harmonious and stable development of both parties.

In June, the Yeluzong family of the Liao Kingdom launched the Huangling Incident in Luoyang, intending to overthrow the rule of the Liao Emperor. The coup lasted for [-] hours and ended with the arrest of all the initiators.

Among them, Yelu's family, Zongzheng, fled to no avail, and committed suicide by throwing himself into the mouth of the Yellow River.

So far, the royal family of the Liao Kingdom no longer has a clan, and the ancestral hall was also set on fire by the new emperor's order.

But it's not bad, this is the son's revenge for his mother. After all, Fo Baonu is not eligible to enter the ancestral hall, and he, as the son of Fo Baonu, is not eligible to enter the ancestral hall. Clicked.

Because the big case of rebellion involved more than [-] nobles from all over the Liao Kingdom, the Supreme Emperor Fo Baonu deliberately kept them aside. After all, although they rebelled, they were all people who made great contributions to the Liao Kingdom.

But the new emperor gave poisoned wine before the emperor's order arrived.Although there is no continuous sitting, all the 730 nine nobles committed suicide to observe the festival.

The entire Liao Kingdom was shocked by the viciousness and decisiveness of the new emperor, but the officials of the Song and Liao countries did not seem to be too surprised, because they more or less knew who the new emperor was.

And after half of the honorable men of the Manchu Dynasty committed suicide, the Liao Kingdom launched an unprecedented purge campaign under the auspices of Han Qi. Washed clean all at once.

A large number of young officials came to power, focusing on the promotion of a group of officials with corresponding technical skills and engineering backgrounds.

But Song Beiyun didn't say a word the whole time, just let the third master do it. As for whether he will be infamous in the future, which emperor can be recorded in his mother's history, which one is not scolded?If you dare not do it because you are afraid of being scolded, you are destined to be a fool. The boss should not be too soft-hearted, otherwise the employees below will bully the boss.

It took less than four months to suppress a group, win over a group, eradicate a group, and promote a group. In September of the 19th year of the new calendar, the emperor of Liao Kingdom built a complete set of his own in less than half a year. team.

Then the first thing Liao will do is to reduce military expenditure, disarmament, increase the proportion of education expenditure, and increase investment in commerce and people's livelihood on a large scale.

To be honest, this rebellion of the Zong family was beyond everyone's expectations. If they hadn't rebelled, based on their foundation in the Liao Kingdom, the power of the Liao Kingdom would last at least 20 to 30 years. The operation directly caused the national fortune of the Liao Kingdom to take a turn for the worse. Although the new emperor struggled for the sake of Fo Baonu, as a master of mathematics and logic, the third master knew that the Liao Kingdom is what it is now, and it will be over in less than five years. Rotten.

Forget it, after more than 100 years of Guozuo, the Heavenly King Laozi is powerless to return to heaven.From top to bottom, the people of the Liao Kingdom could not resist their yearning for the Song Kingdom next door. Although the military regime had been officially handed over to the Liao Kingdom Emperor, it could not be retained after all.

Fo Baonu became seriously ill because of this incident. Song Beiyun was present and almost failed to save her. She couldn't figure out why her always well-behaved son would suddenly be so rebellious. More than 700 nobles, he said he would die if he said he would die. The foundation of the Liao Kingdom is gone, and there is no one to protect the Liao Kingdom anymore.

The third master also came back to visit Fo Baonu, but she is over 40 years old, but she still has a temper like a strong horse. She is the emperor, and she will disappear if she says she can't see her, which makes the third master helpless.

"Father, I did the right thing."

The third master was extremely wronged, but he could only act like a baby on Song Beiyun's side. He was the emperor now, and the only place where he could make himself look like a child was in front of his father.

"You're right. I didn't expect them to rebel. What are you thinking?" Song Beiyun patted his son's head: "Do it well, don't give up on yourself. Don't miss your homework."

"Understood." The third master sighed: "Father, when do you plan to attack the West?"

"Hmm... Maybe it's not too late." Song Beiyun sighed, "I'll let you know when the time comes. How is Boss doing?"

"Brother wrote a letter a few days ago saying that he was stationed in the Western Regions in the Northwest Economic and Strategic Camp. Since Father was worried, why didn't he recall Brother?"

"Stupid boy." Song Beiyun shook his head helplessly: "It's precisely because his surname is Song that I cannot recall him."

The third master also understood in his heart, and then suddenly said: "Father, I have already written to the second brother, and I want the second brother to help me, what do you think?"

"You can decide for yourself what matters between you brothers, but don't blame me for not reminding you, don't make the second child the emperor in the end."

"Hahaha, no, no, no. The second brother is not that kind of person." The third master waved his hands again and again: "By the way...Father, there is one more thing, what..."

"Marriage with Zhao Ci, right?" Song Beiyun patted his son's head: "Do it yourself, but you are both under [-] years old, it's not good to get married too early."

"Father……"

"All right, all right, let me tell the other end, it's not bad to make her a queen."

Now that Zhao Ci is sixteen, although it is a bit early, it is indeed almost the same. Since both of them have strong intentions, let's take care of things before the marriage law is officially promulgated.

These are actually trivial things. What really worries Song Beiyun is the boss at the front line, alas... If something really happens to that kid, he doesn't know what to do.

But now the development of the few children is not bad, and the rest of the second batch are also growing up slowly, the youngest is already ten years old, think how time flies.

"By the way, you'll be at home tonight. I'll lure your mother over here, and you can coax her."

"I'm afraid I can't coax you..."

Chapter 907: Sunny January 19, 10

"Should I greet you Your Majesty or should I greet you Holy Lord?"

"Mother... don't be angry, there are some things we can't resist at all."

The third master sat there with a face of shame. He was somewhat guilty when facing Fo Baonu. He had nothing to explain, but in the end it was he who destroyed the Liao Kingdom's Guozuo.

Although the Liao Kingdom still exists, it really exists in name only. Especially after the implementation of the new political law, a large number of officials with new knowledge and new concepts poured into the officialdom, which had a great impact on the rule of the Liao Kingdom itself. It is the unification faction, but it is controversial who will unify who, so the unification of Song and Liao has been delayed again and again. Everyone is orthodox, and no one accepts the other.

Now it's a good thing, the people who come up are still orthodox, but their views have completely changed from "each is orthodox" to "jointly is orthodox".

The difference of one word is thousands of miles apart.Without losing the hearts of the people, the territory, the economy, or the national unity, the Liao Kingdom completely lost its dominance.

Now Liao is not even discussing reunification, but discussing the changes in the situation after reunification.

The opposition in the past was either old, or implicated in the case of treason and was dealt with, or "joined if you couldn't beat it".

The rebellion in June this year was also very strange. It seemed reasonable to others. After all, when the new emperor came to the throne, there was a vacancy in power, and then the clan's rebellion suddenly appeared.

But in Fo Baonu's view, this incident is full of weirdness and fog. There are three reasons why no one can answer so far.First: Why did you not rebel early or late, and rebelled when the new emperor ascended the throne. You must know that the power of the Liao Kingdom was not implemented on individuals for almost three years before the new emperor ascended the throne. In name, it was Han Qi’s supervisor In the past three years, rebellion can be said at any point in the past, and it can even be taken into account regardless of whether it succeeds or not. After all, the foundation of the Liao Kingdom cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.

Second: Why the massive rebellion did not cause any waves, as if everything was on guard. The day before the rebellion, the city defense army changed its chief general. All the insiders had no survivors, and it was hard to leave one Zongzheng, and it was said that they jumped over the mouth of the pot, and finally ended up with no one alive or dead.

The Yelu clan really only had their mother and son left, and there was no other clan blood.

Third: Why do you want to give poisoned wine to Xungui in a hurry?Those people, Fo Baonu, have already sent a message to save their lives, why are they in such a hurry to clean them up.Moreover, these people are obviously supporters of Fo Baonu, and many of them were the ones who supported Fo Baonu's superior position and helped her stabilize the country, but now they turned around and ended up like this, why?

When these three "whys" are combined, the matter is obviously not so simple. Now when he sees his son again, Fo Baonu only thinks that his face is hideous, like his father.

"mother……"

Seeing that Fo Baonu's face was dark and refused to speak, the third master saw that there were already wrinkles at the corners of her brows and eyes, and said with emotion for no reason: "Some things must be done, if you don't do it now, you won't be able to escape in the future The general trend of the world must be united for a long time. Since the fall of the former Tang Dynasty, the land of China has been divided for more than a hundred years, but now the trend is on the rise, and the combination will benefit both."

"Heh, what you said is very high-sounding. I don't know how many times I have heard that dog say your words in the past 20 years, but now the old dog doesn't say it anymore. Instead, a puppy like you is here to lobby?"

"Ah ah ah, talk as you say, what are you doing with personal attacks?" Song Beiyun stood beside him with his sleeves wrapped around his sleeves: "What an old dog, you are also born as an emperor anyway, are you so unqualified in speaking?"

Fo Baonu is really annoyed by looking at Song Beiyun now, when he heard him speak, he rolled his eyes: "Get lost!"

"okay."

"Ah... Father..."

Watching Song Beiyun run away, the third master suddenly realized that he had been sold by his father. He yelled in despair, and then he could only watch Song Beiyun trot out of the garden.

Song Beiyun wiped off his sweat. The most difficult thing in the world is a woman who starts to be unreasonable. This is much more difficult than sweeping the wilderness, especially when Fo Baonu is full of resentment. Being there will only add fuel to the fire, and the third master was born by her after all, so if you blame him, you can blame him.

Walking out of the alley, Song Beiyun stood under a ginkgo tree that was said to be planted by Li Shimin's hand. Looking at the yellowed leaves, he let out a long sigh.

It was another autumn, and before he knew it, it had been 20 years since he stepped onto the stage of history. During these 20 years, the number of emperors on the land of China has changed from seven to one, and there will be no more emperors soon without accident.

Song, Jin, Liao, Xixia, Golden Horde, Dali, and Mongolia, the seven kingdoms have finally completed the legal unity, and only Tubo is left in the vast China because of the plateau terrain.

However, Song Beiyun was tired, and he didn't have the energy to level up Tubo. He could only say that he would try his best to complete this matter, but it was still unknown how much he could actually accomplish.

In the same way, there are countries in the Western Regions. Although they are all surrendering to the Song Dynasty, the surrender is not unified. Although they are small countries, it is precisely because of this that the big countries have to be cautious. They have all made it to this step. Suddenly word of mouth collapsed, I really don't know who to talk to.

In the following days, apart from actively preparing for the battle, Song Beiyun would occasionally go to the Northwest Associated University as a guest lecturer. There were not many classes he could take, and now he could only teach diplomacy and chemistry. Others He will show timidity when he teaches again, so under normal circumstances, he has more leisure time every day.

Not to mention, because Song Beiyun's classes are humorous and knowledgeable, plus his eloquence is excellent, his logic is smooth and he can explain profound things in simple terms, his class is the most popular class in the United University, and sometimes he can only be like a Squatting at the window like a monkey.

Just like today, he is talking about the causes and solutions of conflicts and contradictions between regions and ethnic groups. Unresolvable contradictions and conflicts.

"There are many factions and factions in the southwest. The only ones that can be named are Dali, Jiaozhi, Baiyue, Siam, and various native clans that cannot be named. Probably we can divide this area into Six or even more parts. Before the new calendar, they were always in a stage of struggle with each other, and there were even riots many times, including major rebellions such as the Southwest Siege in the first seven years of the new calendar, but students, please review again, Since when did you not hear about the Southwest's rebellion?"

Song Beiyun drew a time node on the blackboard: "Remember, this time node is very important, five years in the new calendar."

"Why did it start from the fifth year of the new calendar?" Song Beiyun continued: "Because from the fifth year of the new calendar to the eighth year of the new calendar, Yan Shu, one of the current assistant ministers of the country, has been engaged in development there. What to develop? Agriculture, Trade, infrastructure and transportation. Remember these four aspects, you will use them later.”

Song Beiyun tapped on the blackboard, and the students below began to record in their notebooks, and then Song Beiyun continued: "Speaking of which, let's go back and explain in detail the root causes of conflicts between ethnic groups and regions—— Resources. Tracing back to the previous history, we can find that there is usually a precondition for conflicts between ethnic groups in the region, which is the robbing of the ownership of resources. Because of the terrain, the southwest region has been in a state of poverty and isolation for a long time. When the population develops After reaching a certain level, it will inevitably cause problems such as famine and war. If the imperial court cannot send resources to the place where the problem occurs at this time, it will lead to a serious decline in credibility, and then other forces, especially religious forces and forces from other countries will take advantage of it. It will eventually lead to regional conflicts and riots."

"This is the root cause of the riots in the first seven years of the new calendar. After that, for 12 years, the imperial court was unable to fully control that area, and supervision was very difficult. Until the fifth year of the new calendar." Song Beiyun clicked again The time node before the point: "In the five years of the new calendar, Southwest China has officially entered the development stage. With multiple developments and constructions, new tea-horse roads and new farming models have been developed on a large scale, and the use of local water networks With the advantages of development, a considerable scale of water post stations was built and went down the river to Leizhou and Qiongzhou, making Leizhou and Qiongzhou a new southwest market, where a large number of resources began to be transformed into wealth and other resources. Then flow back to the southwestern regions for secondary distribution. Under such a major premise, the entire southwest region has a wider living space, and it also brings various opportunities for the overall development in the future. In this state, the frontier Riots will naturally clear up and eventually disappear without a trace. This is the fundamental reason why the economic base determines the superstructure.”

Song Beiyun was talking vigorously when suddenly a person squeezed in from outside and waved at him. Song Beiyun nodded and closed the book: "That's it for today, get out of class is over."

After everyone stood up and bowed, Song Beiyun came to the servant: "What's the matter?"

"Lord Song, there is news from the First Fleet that the chief of the largest tribe in the New World has come to see us."

"Oh, I see."

Song Beiyun put his glasses back into his shirt pocket, and walked out with his books between his hands. Although he was already 40 years old, but he had faded away from his youthfulness, and now he looked too personable and calm, and he still lived in the northwest The United Nations University's most popular list for women tops the list.

But, he is Song Beiyun, there are not many people who dare to strike up a conversation and flirt directly. After all, he is still a top talent in the world. For those young girls, this kind of person is really only It can be seen from a distance but it is impossible to get close.

Dressed up like this, he returned to the office. Song Beiyun cordially received the chief from the New World, and the two sides had a cordial and friendly conversation.

And the chief was shocked by what he saw and heard along the way. He used to think that the world he was in was already the most splendid civilization in the world, but when he disembarked from Lianyungang and came all the way to Chang'an Afterwards, he realized what it means to be beyond the sky.
