[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Before Lin Yuzhou crossed over, under the rule of Zhao Ji, the Song Dynasty had constant uprisings and disputes, and the people's lives were miserable. After Lin Yuzhou took over Zhao Ji's identity, he killed corrupt officials and punished corrupt officials, which gave Song Dynasty a chance to breathe. There is also hope for life, but at this time the Liao Kingdom has fallen into an even more chaotic situation.

The current Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi is the grandson of the former Daozong Emperor Yelu Hongji.When Yelu Hongji was in power, he listened to the slander and thought that his queen had an affair with foreign ministers, so he killed the queen unjustly and demoted the prince as a commoner.Later, when he found out that the queen was framed by someone, it was already too late, and the deposed prince had already been murdered. In the end, the position of prince had to be inherited by Yelu Yanxi, the son of the deposed prince.

Yelu Yanxi was on par with Zhao Ji in the matter of enjoyment. After he succeeded to the throne, he indulged in sensuality, and even made the heads of the Jurchen ministries dance for him in public. This behavior also stimulated Wanyan Aguda and caused the Jurchen clan rebellion.

There is still some time before the demise of the Liao Kingdom, Ji Shengyan and Lin Yuzhou are ready to make good use of this time.

After Ji Shengyan explained the Qingzhou affairs to the three of Yanqing, he set off to leave. He rushed to Mengzhou before the Liao envoy.

At this time, Mengzhou has undergone great changes after Chen Dong's governance for a period of time.The bank of the Song Dynasty was opened, borrowing low and saving high interest made the people dare to borrow money and hand over their savings to the bank. The new grain stimulated everyone's desire to work, and the fields were full of people working hard. The government was unified. The rationed new farm tools have improved a lot of labor efficiency.

After the establishment of Jinyiwei, the functions of the government were further divided. Public security management, investigation and murder were all handled by Jinyiwei.

In just two months, Mengzhou showed signs of being reborn, which made the court full of confidence in the new law.

Ji Shengyan naturally saw the changes in Mengzhou, but it was still a long way from what he wanted, so he didn't feel any sense of pride.Ignoring the praises of the new law by the officials of Mengzhou, he stayed quietly in the government office of Mengzhou for two nights, and finally met the envoy of the Liao Kingdom.

This time, there were four main members of the Liao Kingdom's envoys. Among them, the right privy envoy of the Liao Kingdom, Po Likuo, was in charge. He was a fat black man in his 40s. It was bloodshot inside, and at first glance it looked like a ghost.

As soon as the people from the Liao Kingdom entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, they put on a disdainful attitude. When they saw Ji Shengyan, they still looked contemptuous, but Po Likuo looked at Ji Shengyan several times, and there was always a look of disdain on his face. A smile that isn't a smile.

The envoys will stay in Mengzhou for one night. After Chen Dong learned about it, he arranged rooms for them at the post station. As for the welcome banquet?That's definitely not the case.Several generals in Mengzhou, such as Wang Jin, Lin Chong and others, restrained themselves if they did not attack the Liao people, and wanted to entertain them with good wine and food?Forgive Chen Dong for not being able to do it.

After the Liao envoys entered the post station, Wang Jin followed Chen Dong's instructions and ordered the officers and soldiers to surround the post station layer by layer. After doing this, he came to see Ji Shengyan.

"Old General Hua has strategized, Shibaozhai, Lingzhou, Hengshan and other places have been taken back from Xixia, and Guanyou and other places have also been returned to the Song Dynasty. I heard that Emperor Li Qianshun of Xixia asked Liao for help twice, but was rejected. This time Li Qianshun once again asked Liao for help, and also asked Liao to marry a princess, Yelu Yanxi agreed to marry his daughter Yelu Nanxian, these envoys came here to persuade the relationship between Song and Xia." Chen Dong spoke in the government office As for Tan, although he is only a magistrate of a state, he is very concerned about the national conditions of the Song Dynasty, so he can probably guess the main purpose of the Liao envoy to the Song Dynasty.

After hearing Chen Dong finish speaking, Wang Jin interjected: "The Liao Kingdom has increased its troops on the border, and Yelu Yanxi wants to use force to force the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate peace with Xixia."

Ji Shengyan knocked on the edge of the table. In history, Xixia was destroyed by Mongolia, but it took too long for him. Whether it is Liao, Jin, or Mongolia, they are all the land of Song Dynasty. Get them back as much as possible.

"People in Napo Likuo are known as the cannibal Tai Sui, and they like to eat human flesh, especially the flesh of handsome men. His eyes turned red after eating too much human flesh." Wang Jin knows more about state affairs than Chen Dongduo, But he knows a lot about Jianghu news.

Hearing what Wang Jin said, Chen Dong looked at Ji Shengyan. Po Likuo had been staring at the Taiwei just now. Could it be that he was looking at food?

Ji Shengyan glanced at Chen Dong, then turned to Wang Jin and asked, "Where are the other envoys' information?"

"The slender man following Po Likuo is Xiao Ang, the eldest son of Xiao Fengxian, the left privy envoy of the Liao Kingdom. They are descendants of the clan of the Liao Kingdom, and other information has not been found. The entourage brought by Poli Kuo is a person of extraordinary skill, and the smell of blood on their bodies is very strong."

Ji Shengyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Send someone to visit the station at night."

The night was deep and everything was still. Lin Chong and Wang Jin were wearing night clothes and were running fast in the night wind. If they wanted to hide from Po Likuo's eyes and ears, ordinary officers and soldiers couldn't do it. They had to go out in person.

Flying into the post station quietly, Wang Jin secretly rejoiced that before they came to Mengzhou, they had learned the lightness exercises provided by the Taiwei, otherwise it would be almost impossible to come in without alarming people.

A lantern appeared on the promenade, and Lin Chongfei was on the beam. He took a closer look and found that the person who came was Xiao Ang.

Xiao Ang carried the lantern through the long corridor to a room, he knocked three times, and the door opened.Wang Jin and Lin Chong looked at each other, and walked from the beam of the corridor to the roof of the room.

"Your Highness, our people have dispersed." Xiao Ang put the lantern at the door, and said to the young man in the room.

Yelu Nan glanced at the corridor, and after confirming that there was no one around, he closed the door, turned around and said, "Well done, this entry into the Song Dynasty is of great importance, we must not let the people of the Song Dynasty notice our plan." The man's voice changed as soon as he opened his mouth. Now, from a rough male voice to a soft female voice.

Xiao Ang took a step back, cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Yelunan sat on the stool, stroked the braids on her chest, and told Xiao Ang: "Po Li Kuo's preferences are disgusting, let him restrain himself a bit, this is Song Dynasty, don't make troubles."

Xiao Ang didn't answer, thinking that it was impossible for Polyco to listen to his advice.

"That's all." Yelunan also knew that her request was unreasonable. No one in this mission could control Polyco. She pondered for a moment and said: "The time given by the emperor is limited, and the goal must be achieved before October. The princess does not want to marry Li Qianshun, you are my cousin, you must help me."

After Xiao Ang heard the words, he persuaded him: "Your Highness, Li Qianshun has good abilities and is a good emperor."

"Will a good emperor be defeated by the poor and weak Song Dynasty?" Yelunan sneered, turning the jade ring on her finger. As a princess of the Liao Kingdom, she did not want to be a victim of a political marriage, so she had to ask His father proved his ability.

"The Forbidden Army Captain I saw today was really beyond my princess' expectations. He looks very young, he doesn't look like he can dance well, he looks like a literati who reads sage books."

Xiao Ang laughed contemptuously, "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty has always valued literature over martial arts, and the emperor is definitely not willing to let the Imperial Army fall into the hands of generals. This Taiwei looks like an empty embroidered pillow with looks. Her Royal Highness does not need to care about this kind of person." .”

On the roof, Wang Jin and Lin Chong looked at each other, feeling that the two people in the room were very blind.

The conversation in the room was still going on, Wang Jin and the two listened for a while, and found that the next conversation was about the internal affairs of Liao.They didn't leave until midnight, when the two had their own rest.

The news that the envoy of the Liao Kingdom had arrived in Mengzhou quickly spread to Tokyo, and at the same time, the information of the envoy also spread to Tokyo.

Lin Yuzhou handed the Liao envoy's information to Zeng Bu and his son. One of them was the governor of the central government, and the other was the governor of Kaifeng. They both had to deal with each other directly.

After reading the materials, Zeng Bu said in a deep voice: "There must be a confidential agreement between Xia and Liao. The Liao army and Chen Bing border, their hearts can be punished."

Zeng Yu frowned: "What I care about is the plan that Princess Nanxian said. The Great Song Dynasty is at a critical juncture of implementing the new law. Any disturbances should not be ignored."

Han Chunyan, a direct scholar of Huiyou Pavilion and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came to the big study with Zeng Bu. After listening to Zeng Yu's words, he said: "My heart in the Song Dynasty is not dead after Liao's death, and Li Qianshun's ambitious man is running behind. Huo, if the envoys come here this time, if they don't achieve their goals, they will definitely not give up."

Everyone knows why the so-called purpose is well known. The first thing that bears the brunt is the negotiation of peace between Song and Xia. Liao may even force Song to return the land of Xixia, increase the old coins, etc., but will Lin Yuzhou agree to these demands?

Song Dynasty really needs a stable environment to recuperate and recuperate, but this stability is definitely not obtained by forbearance and concession.Lin Yuzhou's fingers drew the shape of a wooden warehouse on the table. Firearms are the most powerful defense of the Song Dynasty.

"The Ministry of Rites is in charge of receiving the envoys of the Liao Kingdom, with the assistance of the Kaifeng Mansion. The Privy Council must pay close attention to the border situation. Any changes in the Liao Army must be reported."

Zeng Bu, Zeng Yu, and Han Chunyan bowed to accept orders.

After the three of them left, the study became quiet, and Lin Yuzhou took out a stack of firearm blueprints from the inner mansion space. These blueprints made great contributions to the development of the Ji Dynasty, and now they will shine in the Song Dynasty.

Gunpowder had already been used in wars in the Song Dynasty. Firearms, artillery, and thunderbolts all appeared on the battlefield. However, the methods of making firearms at this time were quite rough, and improper use would hurt themselves, so hot weapons did not replace cold weapons.But with the drawings in Lin Yuzhou's hands, these problems can be solved easily.Firearms will be the key to breaking the Song Dynasty.

After sorting out the blueprints according to the degree of difficulty, Lin Yuzhou called Tong Cheng, "I will pass on my order to dispatch some craftsmen who are good at making firearms from the Ministry of Industry to the Imperial Army. I need to use them."

Tong Cheng nodded: "Observe the order."

When he was about to step down, Lin Yuzhou added: "Quietly, this matter should not be made public."

"The servant understands."

After Tong Cheng left, Lin Yuzhou got up and stood in front of the map of Song Dynasty.The Song Dynasty was strong and weak, and the Forbidden Army was getting stronger and stronger, but the local Xiang army was still weak. The Liao Kingdom stationed troops on the border, so it was necessary to send the Forbidden Army to support it.

The mobilization of the Central Forbidden Army affects the whole body. There is a princess of the Liao Kingdom among the envoys of the Liao Kingdom. She must not have come to visit the Song Dynasty. What are their plans?Does Li Qianshun know that his fiancée is coming to Song Dynasty?

Lin Yuzhou wrote the names of Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, and Xu Ning, the instructor of the Jinmucang squad of the Imperial Army who had just returned from his hometown, on the white paper, and then cut out these names and pasted them on the Song-Liao border defense line .

The Great Song had no shortage of soldiers, but it was very short of generals who led the troops. These people were the ones who led the troops better in the original book.Lin Yuzhou pinched his eyebrows. Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others were very skilled. They could fight ten against one, but what they needed was command and dispatch. They could be fierce generals who charged forward, but they couldn't be generals who planned strategies.

Lin Yuzhou drew a cross on the Xixia map and a circle on the Jurchen territory, and then nailed the penholder on the name of the Liao capital.

The game between countries has always been an exchange of interests, and the exchange of interests is also the least reliable.
