Han Fang was Wanyan Qua's teacher. He was a surrender of the Liao State, but he was also the one who was most favored and trusted by Wan Yan Quan among the surrenders of the Liao State.
Wanyan Quan did not go to conquer the world or join the army when he was young. Instead, he studied Chinese classics and history with Han Fang. He often went to the royal "library" Jigudian to study Central Plains classics. This led to the fact that he should be now Chinese. The most serious one is the Jin clan.
As Wanyan Quan's teacher, Han Fang indeed has this qualification and ability. Not only was he a Jinshi from the Liao Kingdom, he was also the number one scholar in Renchen in the second year of Emperor Tianqing's reign, Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty.
In the Liao Dynasty, he rose all the way. From being the number one scholar in the imperial examination, he completed the supplementary work of You, moved to the History Museum to compile, and moved to the Shaofu Shaoqing and Qianwen Pavilion to wait for the system.
Later, after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, he followed the trend and surrendered to the Jin people. Because of his talent and status, the Jin Kingdom took a fancy to him and asked Wanyan Dan to take him as his teacher.
Wanyan Sheng was also kind to him. After he surrendered, he was appointed as a direct bachelor of the Wen Guan, and then changed to the minister of the Ministry of Rites. It has not changed to this day.
The strategy this time was controlled by Wanyan Dan. He, Nianhan, Zongwang and others often sent letters to know the current situation, and they also knew that if the battle continued, one of the two sides might not be able to kill the other.
"Although the Song Dynasty is also exhausted, if it really reaches that point, I, Dajin, will have to face the gradually rising Mongolian tribes in the rear, and maybe even the Tatars and even Xixia.
But at worst, the Song Dynasty would give up the many places it had recovered and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. With the natural protection of the Yangtze River, it could continue to consume it.
It’s still unclear who will win and who loses in the end, and I can’t afford to bet big money.
Therefore, troop withdrawal and peace talks are a must. "
This was what Wanyan Dan said in his original letter to Wanyan Zongwang, but he also gave a plan on how to deal with Song Ting's rapid recovery in the future.
"Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Sigong, the leader of Xiang Tuoba, was awarded the title of Jiedushi of the Dingnan Army for his contribution to quelling Huang Chao, Xixia was granted the title of five states.
Later, after the five states were annexed by the Song people, Li Jiqian left to start a business, and was named King of Xia by the Liao Dynasty. He successively occupied the states in the Hexi Corridor to contain the Song court for the Liao people.
Then Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country, defeating the Song Dynasty and the Liao people in succession. With his fearless attitude and the power of the green and white salt, he officially stabilized the three-legged situation.
After the rise of the Jurchens, Xixia captured the Dingbian Army of the Song Dynasty and professed vassalage to the Jin Kingdom, which made me happily give away their hometown of Xixia, Lezhou, Jishizhou and other states outside the river. All the states outside the river were rewarded to the king of Xixia, Ganshun.
Their land has officially reached its peak, but today's Xixia is no longer the Xixia of that year.
At that time, because Xia Huizong was young, his mother, the Empress Dowager Liang, held the power. The mother party headed by the Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yimi were in power. They reused Du Luowei and Gong Mengyou, and excluded Xia Jingzong's younger brother Wei Minglangyu and others.
Now that Empress Dowager Liang is dead, the people who will be in power from now on are Empress Dowager Xiao Liang and her brother Liang Yibu.
These two losers almost tore Xixia apart, and in the end they fought among themselves, allowing Li Qianshun to gain real power in vain.
However, Li Qianshun is not a friendly person. If he is not curbed, he will inevitably become a nuisance in the future.
However, a lot of conflicts have arisen between the two sides after the Battle of Huanqing. This is a great opportunity to clean up Xixia, but it would be too dangerous for us to fight against Xixia.
The place they live in is not considered prosperous, and the only thing they have is blue and white salt, which is not very important. It is of no use to me, so I might as well drive the tigers and devour the wolves and let the Mongolian tribe attack them.
After the rise of the Mongolian tribe, they have been bordering Xixia. From time to time, they will invade Xixia, and they simply regard Xixia as their training ground.
In this case, Xixia will definitely not have any defense against Mongolia. We can use the power of Mongolia to clean up Xixia. At the same time, we can try to weaken the Mongolian department, stabilize the rear, and form an alliance with the Tatars and other places in the Mobei to completely contain Mongolia.
Use Mongolia to isolate the Tatars, use the Tatars and the Song Dynasty to contain the Mongols, and then we may not be able to overtake it again if we work hard! "
This plan used Xixia as a lead and many craftsmen and technologies obtained from the Song people as bait. Although it seemed to be an enemy, it suppressed all four neighbors around him in one fell swoop.
Even though they were entangled with each other, they were able to stay on their own.
The most important thing was that Wanyan Dan was sure of one thing. Once the Emperor of the Song Dynasty saw Xixia's dejection, they would definitely go and pick the fruit.
But once the Song people enter the war situation, the battle between them and the Mongolian tribes will be essential.
The strength of this group of guys should not be underestimated now. After the battle between the two sides, the power of the Song people will be greatly restrained, and the Jin people can take this opportunity to absorb enough power from many scattered tribes to restore their vitality.
This is the most important thing. Only when one goes against the other can their Jin country have a chance to win.
Now that everything is under Wanyan Gen's plan, the Yellow River Basin is slowly beginning to calm down, and a large number of refugees are beginning to use this peace negotiation to return to their normal lives.
Liu Yu, Liu Guangshi, Wang Fu and other Han generals also began to re-stabilize the place with the support of the Jin State, using the Song people to resist the Song people and ensure the absolute power of the Jin people.
I have to say that Wanyan Dan, who is still young, is really quite capable.
At this time, Wanyan Quan was appointed as the commander of the Boji Lie, and he immediately reused people who had surrendered from the Liao Kingdom, such as Han Fang, Han Qixian, Yelu Mawu, Liu Yanzong, etc.
This was used to appease the surrendered generals of the Liao Kingdom, which had never been very stable, and at the same time reuse generals with foreign surnames such as Wuyan Puluhun, Ushahu, and Wulin Dataiyu who had previously been low-status to enhance the morale of the Jin people.
Later, Nianhan, Zongwang, and Wanyan Zongpan were used to lead the affairs of the three provinces and stabilize the clan. Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Xu were used to lead the cultural affairs of the Jin Dynasty. They produced etiquette and history books to make up for the final shortcomings of the Jin people.
He made his uncle Wanyan Zongbi or Jin Wushu, who had always supported him, as a frontline general, not only to thank him for his support, but also to let him sit at the front.
Among all the clan generals, only Jin Wushu was the best at utilizing the power of the Song people. Even Wanyan Zongwang, who was known as the Bodhisattva Prince, was not as good at this.
Jin Wushu has a very high prestige among the generals of the Song Dynasty. Liu Yu, Liu Guangshi, Dong Cai, Wang Fu and others were all his generals before. Now that the war between the two sides is basically over, he has enough ability to control Hebei.
And you can continue to recruit Song soldiers and horses in Hebei. As for the war between the two sides and the small friction between them...
In Wanyan Gen's eyes, the Jurchens who died in the battle would not be Jurchens anyway. Victory or defeat was all the Song people's own business. What did it matter if they were recruited after they died?
Finally, Wanyan Xiyin was told again that the peace talks were speeding up and they must fully understand this peace talk within three months.
Neither party is sincere. One wants to do business and the other wants to dig a hole. It is only a matter of time before they break up.
Under this instruction, Wanyan Xiyin and Qin Hui quickly reached a consensus.
"The Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty became states of friendship with each other. The two sides opened a mutual market in Jizhou (Hebei Road), and each sent officials to manage it. No weapons were allowed to appear in the mutual market."
"The alliance between the Song and Jin brothers is still based on the maritime alliance. Song is the brother and Jin is the younger brother. The Song Dynasty gives the Golden New Year Coin 500,000 silver every year. Pearls, jades, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, silk and satin, etc. can also be used as gifts for the New Year Coin. .”
"When the Jin Dynasty returned to the Song Dynasty, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji and other civil and military officials such as Li Bangyan were stranded in the Jin Kingdom. The Song court needed to send enough ceremonial troops to Jizhou to welcome them.
The time is to be determined. During this process, Song Ting was responsible for sending many royal ceremonial materials to the Jin Kingdom and ensuring the emperor's life and health.
The Jin people would first return some of their officials, such as Li Bangyan, Huang Qianshan, and Wang Boyan, to the Song court as a sign of sincerity. "
Many other things were gradually implemented, and when Zhao Huan looked at the list of people sent back by the Jin man, he said something.
"Go and find Wan Qixi for me and tell him to come and live!"
Before Wan Qixi arrived, Zhao Huan also did two things. One was to take care of Yue Fei's health. This was his routine.
Before the reform of the official system, there was no way to transfer Yue Fei back to the Privy Council. If his eyes are really uneasy to rest, it may really be impossible.
In this way, he could barely see anything when discussing matters before, and then entered a long period of rest.
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask how General Yue Fei's eyes are doing. Has he improved a little now?
Then take out supplements and other supplies from the palace and send them to General Yue's house. If there is any need, they can all be taken from the palace. "
As for the second thing, it's family matters.
"Go and ask the Queen, has she released the list of people to be selected for release?"
Zhao Huan asked his queen, Zhu Lian, to draw up a list of the redundant concubines in the palace, as well as many other miscellaneous palace residents, who would be sent back to their places of origin or betrothed to various generals.
To be honest, it's a bit shameless to do this. After all, the palace people in this palace don't say anything, but the many concubines in this palace, including Zhao Huan's concubines, are okay. After all, many of them have been for that number for so many years. Got in.
But if we talk about his father Zhao Ji's concubines...well...it would be embarrassing.
But Zhao Huan had no choice. If there were ten or eight of them, he wouldn't mind keeping them, just leave them in their names. If there were twenty or thirty, it wouldn't matter to him.
After all, including the palace servants and many other messy things, it's just a matter of raising about two hundred more.
With this number, how could the Emperor of the Song Dynasty not be able to support two to three hundred idlers?
If there were fifty or sixty people, he, Zhao Huan, could still grit his teeth. With fifty or sixty people, there would only be a few hundred people serving them in a mess.
He saved some food and drink, and came out.
But his father left far more than this number. There were 143 titled concubines and female officials, and as many as 504 untitled palace maids.
This palace maid is not an ordinary servant. She has been favored without being given a status. Even though the treatment is not too high, it is not too bad either.
Although some of them had been kidnapped by Nianhan in the process, most of the palace residents still stayed in the palace and became a burden to Zhao Huan.
This number...Zhao Huan expressed that he wanted to curse people, and it was more than that.
That group of brothers and sisters, the brothers can still go to the battlefield, if you let the princess go to the battlefield, Zhao Huan has the idea but doesn't have the courage.
Forty-two titled princesses, these are the ones who survived, not all...
This shows how serious Zhao Huan's clan problem is and he has to find a way.
He sent a large number of concubines, female officials, palace maids, and palace servants outside. If they wanted to go home, he would not stop him. He would give a lump sum of money at one time to buy a good name. If there was no place to go, he would arrange for them to go home. Military Lieutenant Colonel.
It can be said that it is a reward, or it can be said that it is to find a family for them. After all, they are born in the palace, and Zhao Huan personally granted the marriage. As long as the woman is not too stupid, her life will always be very good.
Zhao Huan, who was concentrating on solving internal affairs, did not know that another of his enemies was about to arrive as promised.
