high!
It's so high!
After hearing that Zhao Kai said that he wanted to confer the title of King of Wu on his brother Zhao Huan, Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu and Wang Shu all applauded this new official who looked a bit reckless in their hearts.
Zhao Kai's move seemed to seal the wealthy land in the southeast to Zhao Huan, which seemed like a loss. But the problem is that he can't reach Jiangnan now!
Now Zhao Kai's truly consolidated sphere of influence is Hedong and Shaanxi. He doesn't even know how long he can hold the territory in Hebei? Next, we can eat the two fertile lands of Jingxiang and Sichuan, move eastward in the direction of the Central Plains, and eat Henan Prefecture, Dengzhou, Ruzhou, Tangzhou, Suizhou... roughly It is already very difficult for Shang He and the Golden Thieves to maintain a situation of Northern Zhou Dynasty versus Northern Qi Dynasty in the northern part of the Central Plains. Where is there any spare energy to deal with Zhao Huan who has fled to the southeast?
If he really wants his troops to go east, the gold thieves will come to seize the territory in Hedong and Shaanxi!
But Zhao Kai cannot completely ignore Zhao Huan, and he must prevent Zhao Huan from turning to Jin Thief, his father-killing enemy, and becoming Jin Thief's vassal... If this happens, the Kingdom of Jin will never have soldiers. Having no money turned into having money and soldiers!
Today's world seems to be two poor and powerful forces playing "Three Kingdoms" with one rich and weak force. Both Zhao Kai and Da Jin had soldiers but no money. Zhao Huan, on the other hand, had money but no soldiers - it was not that he had no soldiers at all, he just had no soldiers who could fight.
So for Zhao Kai and the Kingdom of Jin, whoever can dig out enough money from Zhao Huan will have the last laugh!
For Zhao Huan, the two poor men had to restrain each other so that he could enjoy happiness in the southeast... As for the northern expedition to the Central Plains or the westward march to Chang'an, that was out of the question.
Therefore, spending money to buy Ping An is Zhao Huan's most realistic choice. The question is who to buy it from?
On one side is the enemy who killed his father, and on the other side are the brothers... The enemy who killed his father will also kill him!
And the brothers will also kill him!
This multiple-choice question is difficult to answer!
The best option seems to be to give a little money to both sides, so that the fight between Zhao Kai and Jin Guo will be endless, and Zhao Huan can survive.
And what Zhao Kai wanted to get was not only Zhao Huan's money, but also his status as the Nine-Fifth Master of the Song Dynasty!
That's why he wants to make Zhao Huan the King of Wu... As long as Zhao Huan is granted the title, Zhao Kai will get the allegiance of Song Dynasty officials in Central Plains, Hebei, Sichuan, Jingxiang and other places, and he can get it without fighting. A large area of sacred land can also provide many strong cities and armies capable of fighting.
Even if Zhao Huan refuses to be sealed, as long as Zhao Kai unilaterally seals Zhao Huan and regains Kaifeng Mansion, officials and troops from all over the country will be loyal to the Song Dynasty and regard Zhao Kai as orthodox!
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Luoyang."
Of course, the one who was willing to go to Luoyang was Qian Gai, the descendant of King Qian of Wuyue, because Luoyang was originally the back garden of Kaifeng's luxurious and powerful people. Almost all the rich and powerful families who bumped into Qian Gai bought manors in Luoyang... Before the fall of Kaifeng Prefecture, many powerful people in Kaifeng Prefecture chose to flee west to Luoyang to avoid disaster.
Most of Qian Gai's family and relatives also fled to Luoyang.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for Qian Gai to go to Luoyang to lobby these wealthy and powerful people for Zhao Kai... Qian Gai is one of them!
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded, "Then there is a money-making dragon map!"
He paused and then said: "Qian Longtu, please give a message to the families in Luoyang... They are in Henanfu, Yongxing Military Road, Hedong Road, Tangzhou, Suizhou, Dengzhou, The land in Xiangzhou and other places has been donated to me. I want to use it to house the soldiers!
I don't want their land in vain, I arrange for them to go to Sichuan to serve as officials... Whoever donates more land and houses, I will make him a high official! "
high! It's too high!
Now Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu, and Wang Shu were all convinced!
Zhao Kai is not a reckless man at all, his political skills are extremely brilliant!
Henanfu, Yongxing Military Road, Hedong Road, Tangzhou, Suizhou, Dengzhou, Xiangzhou and other places are all frontiers!
Do you dare to occupy a farmland and manor there without a knife in your hand? Wouldn't it be a good thing to give it to Zhao Kai in exchange for a senior official in Sichuan?
Of course, for Zhao Kai, it would not be a bad idea to exchange his official title in Sichuan for the land in Zhongzhou, Hedong, and Guanzhong... because Sichuan is not under his rule.
If Zhao Kai can send a group of officials from wealthy families to take office in Sichuan, it will make the local officials in Sichuan feel that Zhao Kai has obtained the orthodox status, and they will not resist Zhao Kai's court!
"Old Zhuo must go and tell them," Qian Gai said with a smile. "I can't guarantee that there will be more than one million acres. We can still find millions of acres for the government."
"That's very good!" Zhao Kai was very satisfied with this number - because when Lu Yihao and Cai Mao gave him advice, they gave him similar numbers!
It turns out that the two clever methods of "conferring Zhao Huan" and "exchanging Sichuan officials for Zhongzhou land" were all strategies of Lu Yihao and Cai Mao, the two prime ministers of the East Prefecture!
Zhao Kai smiled and nodded, then looked at the city gate in front of him and asked Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu, and Wang Shu: "What is the name of the city gate in front of you?"
"Xuanwu Gate!" Fan Zhixu, who is also the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, replied.
"Xuanwu Gate?" Zhao Kai was stunned, "Where did the incident happen on June 4, the ninth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty?"
"No," Fan Zhixu said, "Although the current Jingzhao City was built on the basis of the Tang Dynasty Imperial City, this Xuanwu Gate is newly opened."
"Oh," Zhao Kai said with a smile, "The place where the Xuanwu Gate changed should not be far from this Xuanwu Gate, right? Fan Dafu, come and lead the way... I want to enter Jingzhaofu City from Xuanwu Gate today, no?" , should be Chang'an City! From today on, Xijing of the Song Dynasty will be Chang'an City!"
...
Just when Zhao Kai was riding into Chang'an, another mighty Jin army was marching into Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing, Song Dynasty, which had been abandoned... To be precise, the area that had just been occupied by Jin soldiers had been It's not Yingtian Mansion, but Songzhou.
When Zhao Huan left this place, in order to avoid the fall of the Song Dynasty capital again, Zhao Huan took the lead and changed the name of Nanjing Yingtian Mansion back to Songzhou. At the same time, Jiangning Mansion, located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, was upgraded to Nanjing Yingtian Mansion of the Song Dynasty, thus setting the stage to move to the south of the Yangtze River.
Although this approach is timid, it is not wrong. Because not long after Zhao Huan and his party arrived in Xuzhou, the Jin soldiers led by Wanyan Zonghan began to cross Daming Mansion where Li Gang was guarding and launched an attack on Jingxi West Road and Jingdong East Road.
And Zong Han's action was completely beyond the expectations of Li Gang, Li Lu, Zhong Shizhong (Zhong Shidao was already bedridden and unable to see anything) and others - they never expected that Wanyan Zonghan would let go in order to grab money. Instead of attacking Daming Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, Xiangzhou, and the anti-Jin stronghold occupied by Zhao Kai, Hedong Road was directly inserted from Zhongshan Prefecture to the southeast, and all the way captured Qizhou, Shenzhou, and Shenzhou, which were not heavily defended by the Song Army. Jizhou, Enzhou, Bozhou, and then divided into two groups in Bozhou, one group attacked the empty Jingdong East Road; the other group went straight to Yingtianfu, which is now Songzhou!
However, Wanyan Zonghan, who was marching so fast, still missed a move and failed to capture Zhao Huan's court in Songzhou. He did not even capture many civilians... The eyes of the people of Songzhou were also sharp. of! When Zhao Huan's fleet fled, they knew it was impossible! So they all escaped at that time, and quite a few of them followed Zhao Huan to Xuzhou. They had probably crossed the Huaihe River by now.
"When Deputy Marshal Zuo and his subordinates and his son entered the city, Yingtianfu City was an empty city. All the Song people ran away..."
The person who was explaining to Wanyan Zonghan while accompanying Wanyan Zonghan into the city was Pharmacist Guo!
This disaster happened because his son Guo Anguo raided Zhongshan Mansion and Ying Zonghan invaded Hebei, and he actually hugged Wanyan Zonghan's thick legs!
Now, together with his son Guo Anguo, he led eight thousand victorious troops and followed Wanyan Zonghan all the way to Songzhou.
I don't know if it was because he missed the fight, but Zong Han didn't look very good at the moment, but he just rode into the city without saying a word.
When Guo Yaoshi and Guo Anguo saw him like this, they did not dare to speak.
However, a chubby Jurchen young nobleman following Zong Han didn't care about this, and was still talking in Chinese to a middle-aged white-faced scribe next to him.
"Qin Xiucai, look, we failed again... We didn't hit much grass and grain. Do you think there is any money left to grab in the Song Dynasty?"
"Mr. Xie Bao... Da Jin Shangguo doesn't need to rob him if he wants his property."
The two people talking were actually Wanyan Xiebao, the fat son of Qin Hui and Wanyan Zonghan.
Judging from the way Qin Hui is dressed now, he must have voted for the Kingdom of Jin!
Wanyan Xiebao now looks very proud. It seems that after losing his brother, he is very popular with Zong Han.
Moreover, Wanyan Xiebao and Qin Hui seem to be quite familiar with each other, and now they are chatting happily in Chinese!
"If you don't want to rob? What about...begging?"
"It doesn't seem appropriate to beg..."
"Then for what? Blackmail?"
"this......"
Well, Qin Hui, who is so educated, is now stumped by Wanyan Xiebao, who doesn't know many Chinese characters.
What words can be used to glorify the robbery and extortion of Dajin Shangguo?
"Get it!" Wanyan Xiyin rode on horseback at the other end of Xiebao. He is a great scholar! The words immediately came to mind.
Saying "rob" sounds like a robber.
Saying "beg"...is a bit like begging.
Saying "extortion" doesn't sound like a good person.
And "take" is more appropriate.
Wanyan Xiebao nodded, and then said to his father Wanyan Zonghan in Jurchen dialect: "Dad, let's stop robbing him."
"What?" Wanyan Zonghan turned to glare at his son, "Xie Bao, what did you say?"
"Dad, let's stop robbing him."
Zong Han was shocked!
How could you not grab it?
Why is your child so depraved?
Are you spoiled by me?
Wanyan Xiebao said: "Dad, we have been looting all the way these days, but we haven't grabbed much. We are still very tired... We are tired from looting, and Zhao Huan is also tired from running. Moreover, we have delayed replacing our eldest brother." It’s a matter of revenge. In my opinion, wouldn’t it be a good thing to simply send an envoy to Zhao Huan and ask him to buy peace with him?”
