Emperor Wanyan Shouxu of the Jin Kingdom looked angry. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Are the Song people crazy? My army has already sent troops to Huainan, why do they still dare to invade our country, Dajin?"
All the officials were as silent as a cicada at this time, for fear that Wanyan Shouxu would direct his anger towards him.
Wanyan Shouxu couldn't stop questioning him, asking the officials to give him answers. Seeing that no one spoke, he angrily pointed at Wanyan Bojia, the political advisor, and said, "Tell me, why do people in the Song Dynasty do this?"
Wanyan Bojia had sweat on his forehead. He was very cautious and raised his hand when he left the office. He said: "Reporting to Master Lang, this matter must be because the people of Song Dynasty jumped over the wall in a hurry and wanted to encircle Wei and save Zhao. They forced me, Da Jin, to withdraw troops in Huainan. Master Lang, don't worry. I heard that the Song army is only one day old."
There are only 20,000 people, and they can be destroyed easily."
Wanyan Shouxu had calmed down a little and was about to send his generals to send out troops to suppress the situation. The minister ordered Li Tangying to go out and raised his hand and said: "Master Lang, you must not send out troops to suppress the situation."
"Why not? Isn't it possible to sit back and watch those Song people run wild in our country? Where is the power of our country?" Wanyan Shouxu became angry again.
Li Tangying said: "Master Sir, please calm down and please listen to me and finish what I have to say."
"you say."
"Thank you Master Lang. I believe that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has an upright character and is not a person who is inferior to others. Moreover, this person is good at forbearing, and when he does not go out, he is also shocking. His murder of the minister Shi Miyuan is an example. Such a person, in Li
Quan was in chaos. When our army sent troops to Huainan, he still dared to send a large army to invade our country and threaten the security of our capital. This matter must have been carefully considered, and I am afraid that he has back-up plans. If he rushes to send troops to conquer, he is afraid of being defeated.
Fall into a trap.”
Wanyan Shouxu was stunned by Li Tangying's words, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
At this time, Zhao Bingwen, a minister who was on good terms with Li Tangying, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty sent a minister named Yu Jie to meet with Genghis Khan of Mongolia. I am worried that the Song Dynasty will send troops to invade the country at this time.
Jin, have they already reached a deal with the Mongols?"
As soon as Zhao Bingwen said these words, the whole court was in an uproar, and all the officials became pale.
Since the rise of Mongolia, the Jin Kingdom has been so overwhelmed that even the capital was forced to move to Kaifeng, which shows the Jin Kingdom's embarrassment in front of Mongolia.
If the Song Dynasty really reached a deal with Mongolia again, established an alliance, and both sides attacked the Jin Kingdom together, then the Jin Kingdom would really be hopeless.
Another minister, Yang Yunyi, stood up and said: "Master Lang, the top priority is to do everything possible to prevent the Song Dynasty from entering into an alliance with Mongolia. Otherwise, our great fortune will be in danger."
What good ministers, each one worried about the future of Dajin and made suggestions, but they didn't know how Dajin enslaved their ancestors more than a hundred years ago and treated their ancestors like pigs, cattle, dogs and horses. Now they are treating Dajin like pigs, cattle and dogs.
Jin regarded it as the mother country and shared the same hatred. I wonder what their ancestors would think when they saw it.
Wanyan Shouxu's face was ashen and he looked at Wanyan Bojia, wanting to hear his opinion.
This time Yang Miaozhen sent someone to seek an alliance, and Wanyan Bojia agreed. He was also responsible for the dispatch of troops to Huainan. Now that the matter is so big, he still wants to hide?
Wanyan Bojia was also frightened. If Song and Mongolia really joined forces, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He thought about many possibilities. Finally, Wanyan Shouxu became impatient and urged him to speak quickly. He had to say: "Master Lang, the matter has come to this. There is no way back for me, Dajin. If Song and Mongolia really join forces,
Then I, Dajin, can only destroy the Song Dynasty first, and then concentrate on dealing with Mongolia."
That's good to say, but it's easier said than done.
Before Yan Bojia could finish speaking, Li Tangying immediately refuted: "If it were so easy to destroy the Song Dynasty, we would have destroyed it ten years ago. Why wait until today? The strategy of losing the north and making up for the south has made me, Dajin, injured, and now I am facing the tiger and wolf Mongolia.
, the calculating and difficult Song State, I would like to ask if Dajin can still withstand the battle of the Southern Expedition?"
During the Southern Expedition ten years ago, the Jin State tried to occupy the land of the Song Dynasty to make up for the losses it suffered in Mongolia.
However, the Southern Expedition lasted for five years. Hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers died, and the Jin Kingdom's treasury was emptied. They finally called a truce, but Wanyan Bojia sent troops to Huainan to break the peace. Now
Wanting to fight another southern expedition is simply a fool's errand.
Wanyan Bojia was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick with anger. He said angrily to Li Tangying: "Then what do you think we should do? Is it possible that I, Dajin, should be humble enough to ask the Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops?"
The Jin Dynasty court soon became very noisy, and Wanyan Shouxu, a middle-aged man, did not know what to do when faced with such a situation.
At this moment, a battle report came from the front, saying that the Song Army's commander-in-chief Jiang Hai sent his troops north to attack Kaifeng!
Now Wanyan Shouxu couldn't sit still. He hurriedly ordered to mobilize all the main forces that were originally going to Huainan to deal with it. The Jin Kingdom's policy in Huainan completely changed and they no longer dared to reach out.
Lin'an, May 20th, the first year of Hengsheng.
On this day, a strong wind blew in Lin'an. The wind was so strong that it was like flying sand and rocks. It lasted for two days before the wind gradually stopped. The houses of hundreds of people's homes collapsed, and six people were even unfortunately killed by the wind.
They were blown into the water and drowned. Another 35 people were killed by the collapse of their houses. Hundreds of people were injured and more than 2,000 people were made homeless.
Lin'an Prefecture Yin Yuan Shao led the government officials and the inspection department to rescue the people day and night, set up porridge shacks, and helped the people build houses, hoping that the people could resume their lives as soon as possible.
Zhao Yun, who was in the palace, was very concerned about this and asked Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao every day how the people were living.
In Funing Palace, Zhao Yun summoned Yuan Shao and asked him: "How are the people of Qing family doing now?"
Yuan Shao raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the people have received timely relief. The situation is improving now. I have ordered people to register the people affected by the storm one by one. They have been properly placed in dozens of places to live temporarily.
And there are dedicated people in charge of their lives, and they can recover in half a month at most."
Having a dedicated person in charge not only helps the people solve their life difficulties, but also monitors the people and prevents them from gathering in crowds to rebel.
I don’t blame Yuan Shao for being careless. In fact, whenever there is a major disaster, there are always restless people who take advantage of the opportunity to incite public sentiment. If it is not dealt with in time and the people are bewitched by it, there is a possibility of civil commotion. Yuan Shao
Shao must take precautions against this early.
Zhao Yun nodded, expressed satisfaction, and said: "Very good, you will receive another hundred thousand yuan from my private treasury later to help the people and resettle them properly."
Yuan Shao was moved, his eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Your Majesty is kind and has allocated money and food from his private treasury several times to help the people. I thank you for your great kindness on behalf of the people. When the disaster is over, I will definitely advocate the people to build a shrine for your majesty and pray for your majesty every day."
