One Piece of Song Dynasty

After calculating his wealth, Li Xin went to Xinghan City Pier in a happy mood.

Meeting Ruan Xiaowu, Li Xin asked: "Fifth brother, since the chaos in the Central Plains last September, how many refugees have we transported back from Dengzhou?"

Ruan Xiaowu thought for a moment and said, "There are ten thousand people."

In other words, there are currently more than people in Guangxing Han, and there are more than people under Li Xin in Jezhou.

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, before the Jin army captures Dengzhou, try to bring as many refugees back as possible. Once the Jin army captures Dengzhou, all the fleet will be withdrawn."

Ruan Xiaowu nodded and said: "Okay, the general will know."

Yanjing, since Qin Hui followed Wan Yanchang, Wan Yanchang gave Qin Hui a mansion in Yanjing.

As soon as Qin Hui returned home that day, Wang came out with a plate of gold ingots: "This is from Wan Yanchang, I don't know what it means."

Qin Hui looked at the gold ingot and said, "I guess he has something to ask me for advice. Give me the gold ingot and bring me the peace agreement. I'll take it to Wanyanchang to have a look."

Qin Hui put all the gold ingots into a bag and went out. Wang handed him the peace agreement and said, "Following Wan Yanchang's wishes, it would be wise to return home as early as possible."

Qin Hui brought the gold ingot to Wan Yanchang's mansion, and when he was about to go in, he saw a man being pushed out by the guards while shouting loudly.

"Until the two emperors are released, Yu Wenxuzhong will never go back and take your claws away from Qin Xianggong." When Yu Wenxuzhong saw Qin Hui at first glance, he saw that although he was neatly dressed, his face was haggard, dark and thin, and he felt a mixture of sadness and joy. Qin Hui was stunned: "Xianggong Yuwen has also come to the Kingdom of Jin."

"Sure enough, it is Mr. Qin who has suffered." Yu Wenxuzhong was hurriedly pushed away by Jin Bing. He turned around and still shouted respectfully to Qin Hui, which made Qin Hui sigh with emotion and didn't know what to say for a moment. Wan Yanchang heard it from inside and let him in. If it weren't for the Jurchen costumes and weapons such as waist knives, Wan Yanchang's study room would be almost the same as the mansion of a Han prince or a wealthy family in the north. Qin Hui put down the gold ingot and saluted: "Qin Hui is the king's servant, how dare you accept this great gift?"

Wan Yanchang asked Qin Hui to sit down and said, "Come on, Mr. Qin, let me introduce you. This person next to you is Liang Xing, the owner of Shuixianju. All Shuixianju in Daijin are his property."

Liang Xing cupped his fists and said, "I've met Mr. Qin."

Qin Hui said politely: "Don't dare, boss Liang's Shuixianju food is really one of a kind, even better than the delicacies of the Song Dynasty."

Liang Xingrao asked with interest: "Oh, I wonder how the food in my shop compares to Fanlou in Tokyo?"

Qin Hui replied: "Honestly speaking, the food at Fanlou is not as good as Boss Liang's Shuixianju. Besides, the best restaurant in the Song Dynasty is not Fanlou."

Liang Xing wondered: "Oh, which restaurant is that? I heard that Fan Restaurant is the most luxurious restaurant in Tokyo."

Qin Hui said: "Fan Lou is just a show-off. When it comes to food, Tianxiang Lou's is the best."

Liang Xing asked: "Master Qin must have eaten at Tianxiang Tower. I would like to ask Master Qin which food is better at Shuixianju or Tianxiang Tower?"

Qin Hui pondered for a moment and said: "Your two restaurants are about the same level. I can't say which one is better and which one is not."

Liang Xinglai said with interest: "Okay, after hearing Master Qin say this, I am more interested in Tianxiang Tower. I must go and taste it myself when I have time. Master Wanyanchang and Master Qin, then I will take my leave first. When you have time, you two will often come and sit at Narcissus Residence."

Wan Yanchang said: "Okay, please, Boss Liang."

After Liang Xing left, Wan Yanchang said: "During this southern expedition, I, Dajin, did not get much oil and water, but the people of the two countries were miserable. I gave you the gold to ask for advice on whether there is a way to get the best of both worlds. It will allow the people of the two countries to live and work in peace and contentment, and it will also benefit Daikin a lot.”

"Your Majesty, as people say, you are truly a Bodhisattva general." Qin Hui took out the peace agreement that he had prepared. "There is a law here. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

"The peace agreement on the partition of the north and the south is very wordy, smelly and long. I shortened it before bringing it back. However, the proposal is good, but it cannot be implemented yet." Wan Yanchang glanced at it for a few times and threw it back to him.

Qin Hui asked: "Why are the two countries bounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River, south from south and north from north? It is best for the two countries to coexist."

Wan Yanchang sighed: "Now the main war faction in the DPRK is still the mainstream, especially Zong Han, who has the intention to destroy the Song Dynasty."

Qin Hui said: "Forgive Qin Hui for bluntly saying that if we continue to fight, I am afraid that the Dajin army will suffer losses. Although the Dajin cavalry is invincible, the water network after the Huaihe River begins to become densely populated, and the high mountains of Sichuan and Shu are not suitable for cavalry combat. The Song army is already good at it." Infantry warfare, coupled with the fact that the Jin Dynasty's current front is too long, and China has been a vast land, rich in resources, and has a large population since ancient times. If the war continues and the Song Dynasty shares the same enemy, I am afraid that the situation will be reversed, so now is the best time for peace talks."

Wan Yanchang nodded and said: "You are right, but it is better to let Zong Han and the others suffer. That will be more beneficial to our actions. I have something to ask of you. I wonder if you are willing."

Qin Hui cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Wan Yanchang said: "I want to return you to the Song Dynasty. After Zong Han and others suffer losses, you and I will work together to promote peace between the two countries."

Qin Hui knelt down excitedly and said, "Qin Hui will obey the king's will."

Wan Yanchang said thoughtfully: "Okay, you go back and change the peace agreement and give it to me. When the time is right, I will naturally let you go."

Qin Hui knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Qin Hui will try his best to promote peace between the two countries."

The Jin Army's first southern expedition against the Southern Song Dynasty, by the spring of the second year of Jianyan, captured all the Lianghe area and the northern part of the Central Plains except Kaifeng. The capital of Kaifeng was completely exposed, facing the Jin army north of the Yellow River across the river, and the sound of golden drums on both sides could be heard. Zongze fell ill in this dangerous situation, but he still urged the armies to step up training while still ill.

Seventy percent of the soldiers in the Song Dynasty were crossbowmen, and practicing archery was a basic daily chore. When various armies were training troops, Yue Fei was famous for his strictness and his methods were also unique. For example, in the archery test, Yue Fei hung silver cakes on a tree. Soldiers who hit the silver cake would take off the silver cake as a reward. Those who missed the shot would be beaten with military sticks.

When all the soldiers can shoot the silver cake, Yue Fei will hang another silver cake of the same weight but smaller size, and the training and reward methods will be the same. Soldiers who failed the assessment would often receive forty military sticks until their skin was torn apart, and Yue Fei would bandage his wounds. Therefore, soldiers who could not bear the pain of Yue Fei's training often deserted, but those who stayed were definitely elite soldiers.

On July , the second year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zongze passed away. Before his death, he shouted out the famous last words that have been passed down for a long time: "Cross the river, cross the river, cross the river." Zongze had been a civil servant all his life, but he could survive the sudden changes in the mountains and rivers. In the year when his eyebrows were shining brightly, he became angry and joined the army. When Zhao Gou met Zongze for the first time, Zongze once exaggerated his words and pretended to be a ghost to fool Zhao Gou into entering the temple to offer incense. Then in front of Zhao Gou, he encouraged the fools to beat the deputy envoy Wang Yun to death. Zhao Gou was so frightened that he left without saying goodbye and ran to Wang Boyan's army in Xiangzhou overnight. . From then on, Zongze was not liked by Zhao Gou, but Zongze still had his shortcomings and eventually became a pillar in the north in the early Southern Song Dynasty.
