Daxing Mansion, Imperial City.
Since this year, Emperor Wanyan Wu of the Jin Dynasty has never left Daxingfu City, Nanjing, the Jin Dynasty. Firstly, it was because he was weak and could not bear the bumpy journey, so he did not go back to Huining Mansion in Beijing; secondly, after the Battle of Black Mountain, the offensive and defensive positions between Dajin and Northern Song Dynasty were changed, and Wu Qi bought his body. As the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, he must guard Daxing Mansion to stabilize the hearts of the people on Nanjing Road, Xijing Road, Hebei Road, and Jingdong Road.
Originally, after several months of recuperation, Wu Qimai's health had improved and it seemed that he was expected to fully recover. However, Wanyan Xieye's death in April and the ensuing turmoil over the heirlooms threw Wu Qimai into the mix, causing his physical condition to deteriorate again. So when his "wild filial son" Wanyan Zonggou came to Daxing Prefecture from Korea, he met Wu Qimai, a wild father who looked very haggard.
Compared with Wu Qimai's haggard look, Wanyan Zonggou looked good, his face was red and he was full of energy. During his time in Korea, he had killed or captured seven tigers alive... and cut off three tiger whips in total! Well, there were three tigers that didn't have whips. They were tigresses. They didn't see clearly when they were being beaten, so they were accidentally killed.
In addition, there was also a newborn baby tiger that Wanyan Zonggou captured alive. Although he had a whip, it was too small to fit between his teeth. So Wanyan Zonggou asked people to raise it and prepare to cut it off when it grows up.
After three tiger whips were applied to his stomach, Wanyan Zonggou had already started to feel a little bit...he had a lot of nosebleeds! It seems that if you eat a few more sticks, you can regain your glory!
In addition, his wife Wanyan Yan also gave birth in the first month of the year and gave birth to a daughter... My daughter is great! The daughter cannot inherit the throne, so Wanyan Zonggou is still safe now. At least he was safe until his wife gave birth to their son.
It was precisely because his safety was guaranteed that he dared to come to Daxing Mansion to participate in the meeting to elect Banbo Jilie... He had to continue to operate for Ye Ge Wanyan Zongpan!
If Zong Pan is selected, won't his safety factor increase?
If Wanyan Zongpan was not selected, then he would have to ensure that Wu Qimai's faction could continue to exist after Wu Qimai's death.
"Father, have you read the above list sent by Yelu Dashi? He actually recognized Yelu Yanxi as his father and his master as his father... It's really unheard of. This Yelu Dashi is really ridiculous. A little! The Khitan people who took refuge with us all scolded us, and everyone regarded it as a great shame and humiliation. I originally thought that Dashi was a person, but he did not expect to act so ridiculously. It seems that it will not become a climate."
The person speaking now is Wanyan Zongpan. The news that Yelu Dashi recognized his father for Yelu Yanxi reached the Kingdom of Jin. Of course, it attracted a lot of scolding - the ones who scolded the most were of course the Khitan II who had taken refuge in Dajin. minister.
Haha, it turns out that these people are traitors and surrendered to the enemy, and Yelu Dashi is the lonely loyal man of Mobei. Now it's good, the big stone with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually a traitor! From now on, no one should accuse anyone of not being a thing!
Wanyan Wu Qimai smiled bitterly as he threw down the copy of the form given to Yelu Yanxi by the leaders of the eighteen tribes in the seven states of Mobei - the so-called form, of course, cannot really send someone to send the seal to Yelu Yanxi. , then it’s not a good idea to give away someone’s head?
It is impossible for the envoys from the seven states and eighteen tribes in Mobei to see Yelu Yanxi... But this matter is not difficult for the resourceful big stone.
Yelu Dashi's method was to ask people from the Jin Dynasty to be messengers. He first asked people to copy hundreds of copies of the "Father's Recognition Form". Then he asked Xiao Heda's cavalry to go to the Tiande Army to rob them, and by the way, they shot these superiors with arrows into the Tiande Army's military city, and asked the Kingdom of Jin to tell Yelu Yanxi the good news of "Xide Dad".
The "Father Acknowledgment Form" in Wanyan Wu's hand was one of them. He threw down the "Acknowledge Father Form", looked at Wanyan Zonggou who volunteered to recognize his father, and asked with a smile: "Wuli sister, what do you think? Do you think those Khitan people who scolded Yelu Dashi so enthusiastically will do it in the future?" Take refuge in Yelu Dashi?"
Wanyan Zonggou shook his head, "No...they will only seek refuge with Zhao Kai!"
Because in today's world, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty are competing for power. If the Northern Song Dynasty had the upper hand, those spineless Khitans would of course turn their backs to the Song Dynasty. Only by joining the Northern Song Dynasty could one become an official and gain glory and wealth. What's the point of throwing Yelu Dashi? Go to the grassland to herd sheep? "
His expression was a little sad, and he paused and said: "As for the Khitan people with integrity, they will not scold Dashi... they will only agree with Dashi!"
"That makes sense!" Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded in agreement, "Compared with the destruction of the country, recognizing Yelu Yanxi as his father is nothing. Besides, the rules on the grassland are that the strong are respected! Zhao Kai... ...very strong!”
"Father," Wanyan Zongpan saw that his father was looking a bit sad, so he quickly took over the topic, "Our Daikin is also very strong...it's not certain who will win!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai glanced at Wanyan Zonggou again, "Wuli sister, what do you think?"
"Father," Wanyan Zonggou said, "Da Jin is of course strong... Zhao Kai only relied on his sharp firearms to be evenly matched with Da Jin. If I, Da Jin, can master the skills of firearms, Sooner or later, the two Song dynasties can be defeated. Even if we can’t do everything we can, as long as we create a fire tube, we can overwhelm Zhao Kai!”
The "fire tube" mentioned by Wanyan Zonggou is now being stepped up in research and development. There are already several "prototype tubes" and they will soon be mass-produced.
In fact, barrel-shaped firearms are the kind of weapons that can be made at a glance. Of course, it is not difficult for the Jurchens who have mastered a large amount of handicraft production capabilities. But whether the barrel-shaped firearms produced from the knock-offs work well is another matter.
But the question of presence and absence will not trouble the Jurchens for too long, but the granular black powder has always troubled them...
Wanyan Zongpan snorted when he heard this: "Of course the big tube is not a problem, it will happen sooner or later... The problem is that we Jurchens are not unified within us.
Those descendants of Taizu know how to hold us back... Last time during the Battle of Black Mountain, they didn't send a single soldier!
And Nianhan's faction is not a good person, they just know how to take advantage of us and the Taizu faction! "
When Wanyan Zonggou heard what he said, he knew that Nianhan's offer was rejected by Zongpan!
"Brother, what does Nianhan want?" Wanyan Zong asked.
Wanyan Zongpan said: "He wants to be granted the title of King of Qi and the Jiedu Envoy of Ziqing Town, and he will take over the 11 prefectures of Dengdong Road, including Deng, Lai, Mi, Wei, Yi, Qing, Zi, Yan, Yun, Pu, and Ji. In addition to Jinan Prefecture... In addition, he also wants Fuzhou and Brown Su Hall in Liaodong!"
Wanyan Zonggou looked at Wanyan Zongpan and asked, "Brother, you...didn't agree?"
"Then how can you agree?" Wanyan Zongpan glared, "If he only wants one of the eleven prefectures in Jingdong, that's fine... But he also wants Fuzhou and Brown Su Hall in Liaodong! Where are those places? ? That is the territory of the Yellow-headed Nuzhen of the Brown Su Pavilion. If it is given to him... he will not be able to go to heaven!"
Then you have to give it! If you don't give it to the emperor, let someone else take it!
Wanyan Zonggou said to himself: Can't you become the emperor first and then think of ways to reduce the vassals? The emperor of your family is not hereditary, but elected... Without Nianhan's support, it is impossible for you to defeat Zong Qian. If Zong Qian is elected emperor, you will be undermined. Got it!
Wanyan Wu Qimai also shook his head, "Nianhan wants to pave the way for Xiebao...Xiebao is very capable and has many sons. Not only does he have his own sons, but he also helps his brother set up horses." I gave birth to several sons!
If Nianhan can pass the territory of Jingdong and Liaodong to Xiebao, he will be the future emperor. This is not possible! "
Yes, Wanyan Xianbao still has a crow’s mouth!
When it's his turn in the future, who of you dare not choose him?
Wanyan Zonggou felt a chill in his heart... Wu Qimai and Zong Pan were both honest people! Are you afraid that Xie Bao won't kill him quietly? Poison, sap, shoot cold arrows, and even make a bomb to destroy him! How could Wanyan Nianhan be pushed towards Wanyan Zongqian?
This is a bad thing!
In fact, things... are already broken!
Because Wanyan Zongqian’s faction has completely accepted the conditions proposed by Wanyan Zonghan!
While Wanyan Wu was begging for money, Wanyan Zongqian, and Wanyan Zonggou were discussing matters, Wanyan Zonghan was visiting Wanyan Zongwang, who was dying of illness.
Zong Wang has been in poor health since his last bout of heatstroke. He has been ill for two years and is about to die.
Although he was about to die, he still had to fight for his lineage, so he asked Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Liang to come together when the two brothers Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongxian came to visit. .
"Nianhan, you are our big brother, and it is absolutely right for you to own the eleven prefectures and one prefecture in Jingdong, Fuzhou in Liaodong, and the land of Brown Su Hall! But Auben (Zongqian) did not want to be acquainted with Banbo Jilie. He I want Digunai (Wan Yanliang) to be..."
Wanyan Zongwang, who was lying on the hospital bed, skinny and a bit blind, pointed at Wanyan Zongbi and said to Wanyan Zonghan: "This kid Digunai is not only smart, but also strong and strong. Although he is only eight years old, he is He is already proficient in Jurchen, Khitan, and Han languages, and can ride a horse and shoot arrows... given time, he will definitely become a king with both civil and military skills!"
Wanyan Zongbi and Zong Wang had a good relationship. Seeing him like this, he felt very sad, but he still endured the grief and called Wanyan Liang to his side, asking Wanyan Liang to salute Wanyan Zonghan and say hello.
Zong Bi then said to Wanyan Zonghan: "Brother Nianhan, we brothers have discussed and are going to follow Luoyang's example and divide the country into Yingtian envoys and Jiedu envoys... to create more festivals." Du Shi, one for you, one for me, one for Nian Liduo, and two or three for the emperor's family, so that everyone can feel at ease and won't fight among themselves!"
Wanyan Zonghan thought it was good when he heard it, and asked Zongbi, "Wushu, what about the emperor's territory?"
"That's Yingtianshi Road," Wanyan Zongbi said. "Hebei Road, Nanjing Road, and Linhuangfu Road are all Yingtianshi Road... Nianhan, what do you think?"
