Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Li Qianshun said ambitiously: "Occupying Shaanxi and forcing the Song Dynasty to fully open the mutual market to our dynasty, I want to sell salt to Tokyo City."

"Why did the Kingdom of Jin cease war with the Song Dynasty?"

"This... I don't know yet."

"As far as I know, the Song Army is still fighting bravely, and the Song Dynasty is undergoing internal restructuring, and the Jin Kingdom is waiting for an opportunity."

"Wait for the time?"

"Wait for the time when the Song Dynasty becomes weak due to restructuring."

"what do you mean?"

Brother Li Cha said: "What I mean is, wait for the Song Dynasty to become the weakest, and then give the Song Dynasty a full blow, so as to achieve the effect His Majesty wants."

"So, you also agree with Zhen's attack on Song Dynasty?"

Brother Li Cha said impassionedly: "The iron we are mining in Hengshan is not enough to cover the entire army. Why don't you wait a year or two, and when our Daxia soldiers are all armored and cavalry like clouds, it will be the last time in the Song Dynasty. When you are weak, go straight ahead, and the world will be decided in one battle!"

"I thought you were doing business with Song Dynasty, and you didn't want to attack Song Dynasty."

"I only do what is most beneficial to Great Xia."

"Okay, I'll leave the military administration to you, I trust you, but, can you hand over the business with the Uighurs to Wei Ming Anhui?"

Brother Li Cha hesitated for a moment, and said, "I would like to follow His Majesty's arrangement."

On the first day of October, Zhang Bangchang arrived in Yangjubai City, the capital of Dali, and met Duan Zhengyan, the lord of Dali.

Chapter 314 Zhao Local Tycoon Buys Horses (Third Change)

Duan Zhengyan, also known as Duan Heyu.

His father's name is Duan Zhengchun, and he is the prototype of Duan Yu in Jin Yong's works.

Duan Zhengyan has a gentle personality, is diligent in political affairs, and loves the people like a son.

In order to better do business with the Song Dynasty, he paid tribute to the Song Dynasty.

The relationship between Dali Kingdom and Song Dynasty itself is very good.

The political resistance for Zhang Bangchang's visit this time can be said to be very small.

Zhang Bangchang was first taken to meet Duan Zhengyan.

"I have met the king of Dali."

"The angel came, but Xiao Wang couldn't greet him from afar, but he still looked at Haihan."

Zhang Bangchang returned the gift again.

However, Dali is a dependent country after all, and Zhang Bangchang is the envoy of the emperor, so the etiquette is mostly respect.

"I don't know the angel is coming, what's the matter?"

Zhang Bangchang got straight to the point: "I am ordered by the emperor to come here to buy horses."

"Buy a horse?"

"Yes, buy a horse."

"How many horses does an angel need?"

Zhang Bangchang said boldly: "As much as you have, you can buy as much as you want."

"The angel was joking, this horse is not what Xiao Wang said it would be."

Zhang Bangchang said: "Your Majesty, do you know how many horses were traded between Da Song and Da Li before?"

Duan Zhengyan was a little surprised. This angel was very strange. He didn't know the price of the horse before, so he dared to say how much he wanted, and he was not afraid of making random quotations?

Duan Zhengyan is a relatively modest and sincere person, he said: "Angel, if Xiao Wang remembers correctly, the previous horse price was 40 guan."

Zhang Bangchang said in surprise: "50 guan a horse?"

"Angel, there are 40 consecutive horses."

"60 guan? Deal! Just follow this price!"

Duan Zhengyan looked confused, is this person out of his mind?

"Angel, is there some misunderstanding..."

Zhang Bangchang quickly stood up and said: "We only accept horses over four feet two, and a horse doctor must be there to make a diagnosis. In addition, every inch of horse height will increase by 10 calibers, and there is no upper limit."

"Angel, the price is too high..."

"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven also asked me to give you a word, allowing the caravans of Dali Kingdom to enter the Central Plains anytime and anywhere, and freely trade with each other, including selling tea."

Duan Zhengyan only felt that the angel today was like a boy giving money, and he couldn't react: Is there anyone in this world who doesn't take money as money?

In the Song Dynasty, tea plantation in Dali was very common and even saturated.

However, tea belongs to the official business in the Song Dynasty, and the caravans of Dali Kingdom can do other business in the Song Dynasty, but not tea.

Seeing that Zhang Bangchang's conditions were getting more and more outrageous, Duan Zhengyan wanted to say something, but Zhang Bangchang said again: "The price of salt has been reduced to [-] yuan a catty, and I will give it to you."

The corners of Duan Zhengyan's eyes twitched twice, and he said, "Angel has offered so many discounts, what are the conditions?"

"At least [-] horses must be guaranteed a year. If the king can do it, all the above conditions will be fulfilled."

Duan Zhengyan took a deep breath, he knew that nothing good in this world comes for nothing.

Five thousand horses is already a lot for Dali.

In previous years, the horse market transactions with Song Dynasty were generally between [-] and [-] horses, and rarely more than [-] horses.

If you want to strengthen the intervention, it is still possible to get [-] horses a year.

Duan Zhengyan said: "Deal."

"The horse market is located in Chengdu, please send people to Chengdu to deliver horses regularly."

"Okay, Xiao Wang will make arrangements." Duan Zhengyan smiled, "An angel has come from afar, and Xiao Wang has prepared bouillon."

"Please, Your Majesty."

For Zhao Ning, the price of the horse is secondary, and he has sufficient conditions for negotiating the price with Zhang Bangchang.

What Da Song lacks now is not money, but time.

There was plenty of money in the Great Song Dynasty, if you don’t believe me, go to the house of a corrupt official and find out.

On the second day of October, Zhao Ning summoned Zong Ze, Li Gang, and Zhang Jun. Also present were Zhao Ding, Zhang Shuye, Xu Han, and He Li.

It can be said that both governors are present.

Of course, there is another special person: Orihiko Quality.

In addition to asking Zhang Bangchang to go to the southwest to arrange a horse market transaction, Zhao Ning also recalled Zhe Yanzhi from the northwest.

Zhe Yanzhi, a talented person with both civil and military skills, is a very outstanding person of the Zhe family generation, but it is a pity that he was born at an untimely time, at the turn of the Song Dynasty.

At the turn of the Song Dynasty, the Ori family surrendered to the enemy, which brought a huge psychological impact on Orihiko.

Fugu Zhejia is the "Great Wall" placed in the Northwest by the Song Dynasty. They fought against Xixia all the year round and shed blood on the battlefield for generations. They can be said to be the first of the three generals of the Song Dynasty.

But at Zhe Keqiu, several generations of wise men were destroyed.

The family surrendered to the enemy, coupled with the corruption of the Song Dynasty's military and government, and no soldiers were available. Orihiko was defeated in defending the Yellow River in the first year of Jingkang and was attacked by countless people.

Since Orihiko can even get a hard-earned BMW, it means that he has a wide range of connections in the northwest area.

The Zaizhi were waiting in the Wende Hall, and Zhao Ning came after a while.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

"All free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning glanced at the 1.9-meter tall man standing in the corner, and said, "When did Zhonggu arrive in Tokyo?"

Orihiko was overwhelmed by the flattery, and quickly said: "Young minister arrived in the capital three days ago."

"That means arriving with Mr. Zhang Jun and Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes."

"It's been a tiring journey, it's been hard work."

"Thanks to the emperor's pity, the little minister is deeply grateful."

"Sit down, let's have a good chat today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning was concerned again: "Mr. Zong is in good health recently?"

"Everything is fine for the old minister, and the precious medicine that His Majesty bestowed on the old minister has not been finished yet."

What Zhao Ning was most worried about was Zongze's body, because in the official history, Zongze died of depression in the second year of Jianyan, that is, in the third year of Jingkang.

"Zong Xianggong is the pillar of the country, and it is Zong Xianggong that I am most worried about."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, the old minister is fine."

"Okay! I call you back to Beijing because I have important matters to discuss with you. It is about the Song Dynasty and the people of the world."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"Everyone knows that Song and Jin have signed an armistice agreement."

Everyone nodded, and the court has spread the news to all the military towns on the northern line.

"But I don't believe that the gold thief really wants to reconcile with Da Song, and I don't even believe a single sentence that Wanyan Wu begged for!"

"According to the intelligence ahead, the Kingdom of Jin is conquering the Mughals in the south and north of the desert, as well as rectifying the interior, so as to accumulate combat power for the next attack on us."

When Zhao Guanjia said this, everyone was surprised.

"When the gold thief will go south again, no one can say for sure, maybe next year, maybe next month, I don't want you to be paralyzed by a peace agreement and relax your vigilance."

"The lessons of the past are vivid in my mind! The martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty were abolished, and what was the result? Countless soldiers were killed, countless people were displaced, and countless people lost their homes!"

"I will never allow such a scene to happen again!"

"From now on, Da Song will carry out comprehensive military and political reforms!"

"Military law is like a mountain!"

Chapter 315 Indestructible Xixia, flattening the kingdom of Jin, I can't sleep

Zhao Ning looked around and said, "From now on, the "Jingkang New Military Law" will be implemented."

This short sentence is a new beginning for the military and political affairs of the Song Dynasty.

The new military law was led by Zhang Shuye, compiled by Zong Ze, Li Gang, and Zhang Jun, and a large number of opinions from Liu Kai, Yue Fei, Wu Jie, etc. were synthesized.

Finally, a brand-new military law ruled by Zhao Guanjia lasted for two years.

In the past, the Song Dynasty also had a strict set of military laws.

However, there are too many pitfalls in the old military law. For example, officers can beat and scold soldiers at will, but soldiers are not allowed to complain.

Since Zhao Guangyi raced the donkey cart on the Gaoliang River, the Great Song Dynasty carried out major rectifications and began to suppress the warriors in an all-round way.

Zhao Guangyi not only pioneered the military system in Qiandi, but also redefined the army while vigorously increasing the number of imperial examinations and Enke within the civil service.

The main task of the Song Army in Zhao Kuangyin's era was to unify the world.

The ambitious Chai Rong has conquered more than [-] prefectures during his six-year reign, which is equivalent to more than [-] prefecture-level cities, and the territory has hardly changed much in the next week.

It's not that Chai Rong is not good, Chai Rong is also a very capable monarch, but he is too conservative.

When Zhao Kuangyin came to power, Jinghu was destroyed in two years, Bashu was destroyed in another two years, and Bashu was really destroyed in only two months.

In the tenth year of his accession to the throne, the Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed. In No.14, the famous founding general Cao Bin was sent to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, basically unifying the South.

Therefore, many people in later generations said that it was a pity that Chai Rong died early, but it was not the case. The achievements of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin in history are supported by sufficient historical events and data.

The so-called Tang Zong and Song Zu are not talking nonsense.

Others said that it was Chai Rong who laid the foundation for Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin picked peaches, that was purely nonsense.

The internal situation when Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne was almost the same as that of Chai Rong when he ascended the throne. Chai Rong had laid a good foundation in six years without it.

It can be said that the Song Army of that era was invincible, fighting wherever it pointed!
