Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

He analyzed the situation in various countries.

Finally, the policy towards the Song Dynasty was put forward: to attack the Song Dynasty through military, trade, and political aspects.

The most famous of these is "Copper Coin Weary Song Theory".

At this time in Shangjing, Wanyan Wu Qimai had already selected Princess Jin to marry Li Ganshun, the lord of Xixia.

Chapter 243 Jin Guo Wants to Fully Support Zhao Guanjia's New Deal? (first update)

Wu Shu knew that he was defeated, so it was best to write to his second brother.

The second prince has the strategy of the second prince.

The failure of Wushu proved that Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan's strategy of storming the Song Dynasty would not work, at least not in a short period of time.

Next, in the court hall, the one with the highest prestige must be Wanyan Zongwang.

Wu Shu's political sense is absolutely sensitive.

On October [-], Wanyan Zongwang finished writing the letter with a somewhat complicated mood, and then began to simulate his various strategic measures against Song in Yanjing.

It took more than 2000 miles from Yanjing to Shangjing (Harbin area), but it took only four days for this letter to be delivered.

On October [-], in Beijing.

As soon as Wanyan Wudabu stepped into Mengjiangnan, the largest brothel in Shangjing with his left foot, a servant from the palace hurried out.

"Mr. Wu Dabu, something serious has happened." A servant dressed in casual clothes hurried over.

"What's the matter?"

The little servant lowered his voice and whispered in Wanyan Wudabu's ear: "The Fourth Highness has withdrawn troops."

Wanyan Wuda was slightly taken aback: "Really?"

"The news just came back."

Wanyan Wudabu didn't go inside to find a girl anymore, turned around and went back home.

Wan Yanchang took the blame at home, and all his posts in the army have been dismissed, but his official position in the court is still retained, thanks to Zong Wang's words to save him.

Otherwise, based on Wan Yanchang's crime, I am afraid that his official position will not be guaranteed.

"Ama!" Wanyan Wudabu hurried in.

Wan Yanchang was a little annoyed when he saw his son who was not up to expectations: "Didn't you go to Mengjiangnan?"

"Ama! Something big happened!"

"What's the matter?"

"The Fourth Highness has withdrawn his troops!"

"withdraw troops?"

Wan Yanchang jumped up from his chair and looked at his son in shock: "Where did you get the news?"

"In the palace."

"really?"

"really!"

Wan Yanchang tidied up quickly, and immediately ran to Wanyan Zongpan.

Wan Yanchang felt that his spring had come.

"Your Highness, Wushu has retreated!"

When Wanyan Zongpan heard it, he was stunned for a while, and said, "Where did you get the news?"

"It is said that it came from the palace."

"really?"

"No wind, no wave."

"Good! Good! Good!" Wanyan Zongpan said good three times.

Wushu withdrew his troops so quickly, which meant that the battle was not going well.

He immediately summoned his staff and asked them to start writing articles, and then he himself wrote the impeachment memorial and the strategy for peace negotiation.

After Zongwang's letter arrived at Shangjing Mansion, it was pressed in Wanyan Wu Qimai's hands at first.

On this day, Wanyan Zonghan was declared into the palace.

Zong Han didn't leave the palace until the early morning of the second day.

When he left the palace, Zong Han looked very calm, but if you observe carefully, you will find that deep fatigue is hidden under this calm.

Overnight, Zong Han seemed to have aged 20 years, completely different from the previous strong and domineering Zong Han.

On October [-]th, Ban Bo Jilie Wanyan Gao, Hulu Bo Jilie Wanyan Zongqian, Guo Lunbo Jilie Wanyan Zonghan, Haobo Jilie Wanyanyu entered the palace to discuss military affairs.

The Bojilie system was created by Wanyan Aguda. You can understand the board of directors system.

The original Bo Jilie was either Wanyan Aguda's younger brother, cousin, or nephew.

Wanyan Aguda means Dubo Jilie, which means the emperor.

As for the death of the former Bo Jilie, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin will re-appoint meritorious people to come in.

You can understand that whoever is awesome gets into the board of directors.

The Bojilie system was the deliberation system of the highest core members in the early days of the Kingdom of Jin.

Two months ago, Guolun Bojilie Wanyan Zonghan strongly demanded to send troops to attack Song Dynasty again, and Ban Bojilie Wanyan Gao secretly supported it.

Wanyan Wu Qimai was under pressure, and at the same time wanted to make another military attempt, so he ordered Wushu to go south.

Now the results are out.

The army was defeated and retreated.

Wanyan Wu begged for someone to give a document to everyone present.

"This is some of Zongwang's strategies, please take a look first."

After reading it, Wanyan Wu begged for money and said, "Do you have anything to say?"

Wanyan Gao's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, neither did Wanyan Zonghan, nor did Wanyan Yu who was making soy sauce.

Only Wanyan Zonggan was left.

Wanyan Zongqian said: "I agree with what Zongwang said."

"Tell me."

"Judging from the situation in the court of the Song Dynasty, the Emperor Song is implementing a new policy, and the officials have heard about this new policy for a long time. Not only will this new policy fail to succeed, but it will deepen the internal struggles of the Song Dynasty. There was a Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, and he also wanted to In the end, the reform weakened the national power of the Song State."

Wanyan Zongqian spoke in a calm tone, sounding very objective.

"Since Emperor Song wants to reform himself, let him do it, and even help him when the time is right."

Wanyan Wu begged for money and said, "How can I help?"

Wanyan Zongqian said: "Before Zongwang said that when Emperor Song first implemented the New Deal, he used our detailed work as a cover to attack the opposition. It is better to use tricks and spread rumors that we are indeed afraid of Emperor Song's New Deal, and so on. The New Deal faction in the Song Kingdom is bound to gain power, and the faster the New Deal advances, the more internal conflicts will be in the Song Kingdom."

Wanyan Wu begged for money and didn't express his opinion. He asked a few people, and Wanyan Yu said: "Zong Gan makes sense."

In fact, Wanyan Zongqian was already biased towards the main peace.

As the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda, Hulubo Jilie, Wanyan Zongqian's status is second only to Wanyan Banbo Jilie Wanyan Gao, his attitude and suggestions are very important.

And he also has his political demands.

What is his political appeal?

Be the king!

That's right, Wanyan Zongqian actually wanted to be emperor.

Because he is the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda's concubine, from a historical point of view, he belongs to Taizu's lineage.

But Wanyan Wu Qimai was Jin Taizong in history, and the crown prince was Wanyan Gao.

Wanyan Zongqian's idea of ​​wanting to be emperor is quite normal, but this guy hides it very deeply.

So what does his appeal have to do with the current master and pattern?

The leader of the main combat faction is Wanyan Gao, the crown prince, and the future emperor.

The most blatant clamor of the Zhuhe faction is Wanyan Zongpan, the eldest son of Wanyan Wu who begged for money.

Wanyan Zongqian supported the Zhuhe faction, in fact, he wanted to draw Wanyan Zongpan into the fierce discussion, and form a constraint on the power of Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan.

And he himself is alone in this political conflict.

Of course, Wanyan Zongqian knew that his younger brother Wanyan Zongwang actually thought the same way.

Wanyan Zongwang not only has deep political means, but also has outstanding military talents. Most importantly, he is also extremely good at governing the country.

The main content of these people's discussions now is to discuss the practicality of Zongwang's strategy against the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in Wanyan Zonggan's eyes, the second brother Zongwang must be suppressed, but now Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan should be suppressed first.

The opponents have to clean up one by one, this is Wanyan Zong's style.

Wanyan Wu Qimai continued to ask: "What about the copper coins that Zongwang mentioned?"

"The minister also agrees."

"Tell me your reasons."

"Your Majesty, Zong Wang has made it very clear. Since Zhao Ji and Cai Jing came to power, the Song Kingdom has faced a severe currency crisis, which has further implicated the people's livelihood crisis."

Chapter 244 The Beginning of the Song-Jin Currency War (Second Change)

Wanyan Wu begged for money and said: "But the technology of making currency in Song Dynasty is top-notch today. When Song said that the copper coins are tired, I feel worried."

Wanyan Zongqian said: "In the past, Song money flowed into Liao, Goryeo, and Xixia, causing money shortages in many places in Song. Later, Cai Jing minted a lot of money, causing private prices to rise."

"What Zong Wang said about the weakening of Song Dynasty's copper coins is that he sold a large amount of goods to the north of the Song State, causing the copper coins to flow into our dynasty, resulting in a shortage of copper coins in some areas of the Song State, weakening the commerce and trade in the north of the Song State, and preventing the normal passage of military supplies."

"If this is the case, the Song court must find a way to mint more copper coins, but how can the casting of copper coins keep up with the passage of time? This will definitely cause local business chaos and increase the internal loss of the Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Wu Qimai couldn't help nodding when he heard this.

Even Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan nodded in agreement.

When people mention the Song Dynasty, they will think of pronouns such as civil servants, scholar-bureaucrats, oppressive generals, and weak Song Dynasty.

But in fact, these financial comparisons with the Song Dynasty can only be regarded as trivial.

The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was an accident, and the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was apparently defeated by Mongolia.

But in fact, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, not only the central government’s finances collapsed, but the local finance and economy were in a mess. The army could not send money, and people’s livelihood was miserable.

In this case, let alone whether the army has combat effectiveness, even the most basic supplies cannot be guaranteed. How can we fight the Mongols?

The situation is that many places are on the lookout.

So the Southern Song Dynasty was really defeated by Mongolia due to financial collapse.

The loss of copper coins ran through the Song Dynasty.

For example, in November of the eighth year of Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu, Song Junchen discussed the price of silver and said this: In addition, the two feudal states (Liao and Xixia) trade in the South China Sea every year, and there is no return.

During the Shenzong period, Shen Kuo analyzed the cause of the money shortage at that time. The original words were as follows: "All the barbarians look up to the copper coins of China (Song Dynasty). Those who go out of the Great Wall at the end of the year are not worth (zi). The discussants want to discuss the salt of Hebei, and the salt is heavy. The foreign salt is coming, and China's money is compared with China's practice, and it will be unknown how many years old it will be to leak China's money to the North."

All this shows that since the period of Zhenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, there have been so many copper coins outflowed in the Song Dynasty, so that the issue of the loss of copper coins between monarchs and ministers is very frequent.

Therefore, a qualified monarch is not just playing with balance.

Governing a country must involve multiple levels. If you don't understand it, the enemy country will understand it, and you will be killed by the enemy country in minutes.

In the past, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty mainly flowed into Liao and Xixia, and some of them went to Korea. Later, many of them flowed to Japan, and many of them went to Nanyang.

There are even historical records that some have flowed into India and Africa, but the amount is not large.

Copper coins of the Song Dynasty, an international hard currency in the 12th century, are exquisitely made and have qualified copper content.

And the purchasing power overseas is several times or even ten times higher than that at home.

This caused many Song people to like to buy foreign things, further aggravating the outflow of copper coins.

And as Wanyan Zongqian said, the speed of casting copper coins is limited, and the Song Dynasty court could not know where copper coins were missing, or even if they knew, it was impossible to distribute money at fixed points.
