Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Then give seals to both of them."

"Bless both of them?" Zhao Ning was startled.

He even suspected that the two arrived at the same time on purpose.

"Yes, both are bestowed."

"Okay! According to what you Fan Zhixu said, both of you will be bestowed! You will be named Duke Liu Qiliang, and Li Yanxian Duke Ning!"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

This good guy, Zhao Ning, took half of the job, and Fan Zhixu snatched the other half, without giving Zhang Jun, the military and political envoy, any chance.

Obviously, Fan Zhixu did it on purpose.

"Hexi has already been settled, and the East Mansion is starting to prepare for the relocation of the population. To ensure the smooth flow of the commercial route between Hexi and Guanzhong, strict laws and regulations must be issued to maintain the law and order of the commercial route from Hexi to Guanzhong. This is related to the restart of the Silk Road on the road. !"

"Yes!"

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the 12th year of Jingkang.

Throughout the 12 years of Jingkang, there was no major war in the Song Dynasty, and all sides were stable, so the people naturally did not have to worry about it.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the grain reserves in various places this year have been unimaginably large.

At least the Grain Storage Department and the local government raised the Changping Department's surplus grain and piled it up, and there was even a lot of grain from last year.

This phenomenon was accompanied by another interesting thing, the folk wine industry flourished unprecedentedly.

Alcohol used to be only afforded by rich people or officials.

Now wine has also appeared on the dinner table of some common people.

At the end of the year, Zhao Ning went out of the city to investigate the local Weifu, and he even found that there was a slightly higher alcohol content in Chenliu.

Ancient wines are generally very mild wines, about ten degrees, not higher than twenty degrees.

The ancients paid attention to generosity at the wine table.

This shows that drinking alcohol was an elegant thing for the ancients, and basically they would not drink that kind of high-strength alcohol.

In fact, after the emergence of high spirits later, it was only popular at the bottom.

The low-level workers have meager incomes, and it is impossible to buy alcohol frequently, so they drink that kind of high alcohol to relieve their addiction.

At this time, Zhao Ning discovered that the wine in this hotel basically exceeded [-] degrees.

Although it is impossible to measure, he can still distinguish the taste of high-alcohol and low-alcohol wine.

This shows that there is already a huge demand for wine among the people.

Under Zhao Ning's questioning, the merchant took them to the winery.

As expected by Zhao Ning, there is already a technique similar to distillation.

It seems that technology will not slow down with the promotion of Zhao Ning, a liberal arts student.

When the economic volume reaches a certain level, new demands will be created, and new demands will drive new industries, which contain new technologies.

If this is the logic, in the near future, will there be an improvement in brick-making technology and road-paving technology among the people of the Song Dynasty?

This is an unknown, at least Zhao Ning can't be sure now.

Every progress of civilization is silent, and people in this world cannot catch even a trace.

Only later generations can see the greatness or desolation of an era at a glance when they read historical materials.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the last day of Jingkang's 12th year.

On this day, Zhao Ning was having a barbecue in the backyard with Zhu Lian and Qian Jinshu. The barbecue was so roasted that it was still beef.

Of course, in ancient times, roast beef was not allowed.

But the emperor wanted to eat, and wanted to get some beef temporarily, so the others didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Ning was sitting beside him reading a book, while Zhu Lian and Qian Jinshu were very busy, and the smell of beef wafted around.

There were also a few children jumping around alive and well.

This has always been what Zhao Ning wanted to see, family harmony.

The happy time is always short, and when Zhao Ning was enjoying the harmony of the family, a piece of top-secret news came.

"Official, there is news."

Zhao Ning took it over and saw that it was Wan Yanchang's letter.

Wan Yanchang's letter told Zhao Ning a very important message: Jin Guo's strategy for grassland tribes has changed from pulling and attacking to wooing.

This is a very important message.

Long before, Zhao Ning predicted Jin Guo's behavior.

The basis of his prophecy is the behavior of the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Li Mu's resistance to the Huns was nothing, because the Huns were divided during the Warring States Period and their fighting power was limited.

But in the early years of the Han Dynasty, the power of the Huns expanded rapidly.

The reason for the expansion was the great unification of the Central Plains Dynasty in the Qin Dynasty. As a result of the great unification, it became more difficult for the Huns to rob.

In order to survive, the Huns must be united, so Mouton took advantage of this opportunity to unify the various tribes.

It is not so much that Maodun unified the Xiongnu tribe, it is better to say that because the Central Plains dynasty could not be plundered after the unification of the Central Plains dynasty, in order to survive, the Xiongnu temporarily put aside internal conflicts and unified the outside world.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has destroyed Xixia and taken over Hexi, it is very terrifying for the Kingdom of Jin.

All the Jinren can do is to quickly mediate the conflict with the grassland, and the United Grassland has always been external.

This is the law of the development of things.

The unification of the East has never been easy.

Chapter 1184 Grassland Union (first update)

In the 13th year of Jingkang, on the first day of the first lunar month, heavy snow covered the Mobei Plateau. The endless snow field could not see any living things, only the sound of wind and snow remained.

When the sky was about to darken, a group of people appeared in front of them.

They approached the city of Woluduo ahead.

Woluduo City was the old capital of the Uyghurs back then. The Uyghur Khanate collapsed in the late Tang Dynasty. Some Uyghurs went south to Hebei, and some moved west.

The ones who moved westward are the current Gaochang Uyghurs.

After the Uyghurs left, the Krebs arrived here.

There is a group of people waiting outside the city of Woluduo.

Not long after, the people in front came one after another.

A man in his thirties walked over, with a happy smile on his face, he laughed loudly and said, "My boy, what kind of wind is it that brought you to our Kelei Department?"

My child got off the horse, and when he saw Huer Zahusi, he hugged him happily.

"Long time no see, Huer Zahusi!"

"Yeah, the last time we met was ten years ago, how time flies!"

"The last time we met, we were still at war with the Jinren!" My bahai said.

Hu'er Zhahusi said: "Don't talk about this, please come inside, I have prepared wine and meat, go and relax!"

A group of Mughals were welcomed into the city of Woluduo.

After sitting down, everyone began to eat meat and drink heavily.

Suddenly Zhahusi asked: "My boy, what's the matter with me? Is it because you are fighting with the Jin people again, do you need me to send troops?"

"No, no, I didn't come here to find you to fight the Jin people." My baby said, "I came to fight the Song people together."

"Hit Song people?" Chuer Zhahusi put down the wine glass in his hand and became curious, "What are Song people?"

"It's the Central Plains people in the south."

"Oh, Central Plains people, why beat them?"

"Go and grab their food, beauties and territory!"

"My babe, you don't play gold anymore?"

"do not fight!"

"Don't you have enmity with the Jin people?"

"The Jinren now give us the 27th Regiment Village, and promise to take us south to the Central Plains."

"The words of the golden man are trustworthy?" asked Hu'er Zahusi.

"We sent people to Shangjing to inquire about it." My bahai laughed, "The Jin people have fought against the Central Plains people in the past few years, but they haven't taken advantage of it, so they want to come to us to help. Hebrehan thinks, This is an opportunity, since Jin Ren is willing to take us south to make a profit, why not do it?"

"So you come to my place..."

"Hahaha, going south to the Central Plains is such a good thing, how can I forget you, Huer Zhahusi!" My baby laughed.

"If I can really go south to the Central Plains, I would be very happy." Huer Zhahusi said, "But you also know that the Tatar and Miqier departments are always watching me from behind. Very easy to handle."

The Tataer and Miqier tribes he mentioned are both Mobei tribes.

And strictly speaking, both the Tataer tribe and the Miqier tribe are considered Mughals, and they were collectively called the Black Tatars by the Great Song Dynasty in the Central Plains.

The Tatar tribe is very powerful. It is said that there are 10 households and a population of several [-], all over the vast Mobei.

Although the population of the Miqier tribe is not as large as that of the Tataer tribe, the people of the Miqier tribe are extremely cruel. They use big bows and long arrows to kill people and then eat human flesh.

These are all Mughal people, and it stands to reason that they are under the jurisdiction of the Mughal state, and they should all obey Hebuler.

But it is reasonable to say that this is the set of the people of the Central Plains, and it does not apply to the grassland with single rules.

At least for now, the Mobei grassland is torn apart, and there are many powerful people.

As early as the Liao Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom carried out various strategies to restrain the grasslands, and the wooing and suppression were carried out all the time.

The various ministries also sometimes attached to the Liao State and sometimes rebelled.

Here, sometimes, of course, does not refer to the academics who believe that if you cling today, you will rebel tomorrow. It means that you have been doing well for the past ten years, and then you will start to jump wildly in the next ten years.

Since the founding of the Kingdom of Jin, the Jin people have also implemented many policies to attract and suppress the grasslands.

The purpose is the same as that of the Liao Kingdom: to confuse the various ministries of the grassland and prevent the emergence of a unified khanate on the grassland.

This strategy has been promoted very successfully. For example, the Kret tribe of Khurjahus has a deep hatred with the Tatar tribe and the Miqier tribe.

Around the year when Song Huizong Zhao Ji just succeeded to the throne, Huer Zhahusi's father was killed against the Liao Dynasty, and the Kelei tribe was in danger. Huer Zhahusi gathered a crowd and defeated the Liao's dog legs Tataer and Miqi children's department.

Immediately, the strength of the Kelei Department was expanded and settled in Woluduo City.

But it can also be seen from this incident that the Tataer tribe likes to hang out with the Liao Kingdom. After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, the Tataer tribe followed the Jin Kingdom again.

However, the Qiyan Department of Hebule has fought many wars with the Kingdom of Jin. The Qiyan Department and the Kelei Department have a common enemy, and the relationship between the two parties is quite good.

This is also the reason why my baby came directly to Woluduo City this time.

Regarding Huer Zhahusi's concerns, I Bahai said: "The Kingdom of Jin has issued an order to Tatar's men not to be enemies with you, and the Miqi'er Ministry has also received orders from Jindi, so you don't have to Worry about the future."

"So, Tata'er tribe will also send people to the south?" Huer Zhahusi asked.

"Yes, it seems that the Jin people want to dispatch people from the entire grassland to go south to attack the Central Plains Dynasty."

"The people from the Central Plains are so powerful that it takes Jin Guo to take such a big risk?" Huer Zhahusi asked in surprise.

You must know that it has always been the strategy of the Jin people to provoke the grassland tribes to fight.

It is not a good thing for Jin Guo to suddenly appease the ministries now.

After all the tribes ceased fighting and recuperated, when they became stronger, they would be a huge threat to the Jin people.

A few years ago, Jin Wushu also built the Great Wall on the border between the Kingdom of Jin and the grassland.

That's right, in the official history, Jin Wushu did build the Great Wall to defend the grassland, and it dug trenches and built earthen walls to keep out the cavalry on the grassland.

This sounds a bit unbelievable. The Jinren are famous for their kidnapped horses and iron stupas, but they actually want to build the Great Wall to resist the prairie cavalry?

No way, those with shoes are afraid of bare feet.

Jin Wushu didn't want to waste his energy on a bunch of bumpkins, he only wanted a more prosperous Central Plains.

My baby said: "At least the Jinren didn't take much advantage in the Central Plains. If the Jinren are willing to lead the way and give us more information, it will only benefit us."
