The death of Taira Taira quickly spread throughout Hokurikudo. For a while, the people here were panicked and restless. The boss was dead, and the main force was wiped out. Everything foreshadowed the Genji army.
Soon we will return to Hokurikudo, and the war will once again erode this continent.¤
How long has this been stable?
The rice fields have just been sown, the houses are only half-built, and the babies have just opened their eyes. The people here really cannot bear it again.
The entire Hokurikudo belongs to the Song Dynasty and is relatively stable, because there is an army here, and that is the Song Army.
Not only that, after six months of hard work and under the governance of Zhao Jingyan, Song Renzhou has completely emerged from the shadow of the war. The people are living and working in peace and contentment, the streets are busy with traffic, and there are many shops on both sides, creating a prosperous scene.
This is the power of money.
Since the establishment of Songren Prefecture, a large number of wealthy businessmen have poured into Songren Prefecture. What they brought with them was not only a belly full of oil and water, but also countless wealth. In addition, Songren Prefecture also became the concentration of the Song Dynasty's trade exports to Japan during the war.
Therefore, this quickly revitalized Song Renzhou.
The water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. The people in the surrounding counties see that we are all on the same continent, only a hundred miles apart, but it is a world of ice and fire. We can't even eat here, and you, Song Renzhou, are starting to
Even if we go to restaurants to eat, the gap is too big, so the surrounding people move to Songren Prefecture one after another. There are many jobs to do here and some money to make, so only fools will not come.
This has also led to the increasing population of Songren Prefecture. As the population increases, the economy must be developed, so the gap between Songren Prefecture and Bian Shang County is getting wider and wider!
As for the driving force behind all this, Zhao Jingyan could only be ranked second, and the first credit should be given to Nan Bowan. It was his propaganda that made immeasurable contributions to Song Renzhou.
However, at this time, Nan Bowan was pacing back and forth in the room, his face full of sorrow.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Nan Bowan's wife walked in. This woman was called Cao Pingping, and she was Nan Bowan's old sweetheart. In the past, when Nan Bowan was in the Song Dynasty, in order to hide his identity, he always kept in touch with his old sweetheart.
They wanted to maintain a distant relationship, but when they came to Japan, they could finally discuss their children openly in bed, not under the bed.
When Nan Bowan saw his wife coming, he sighed and shook his head, but said nothing.
Mrs. Cao said again: "Husband, are you encountering some difficulty?"
Nan Bowan looked at his wife and said, "Do you still remember the three tips your Excellency gave me?"
Mrs. Cao nodded and said, "Of course you remember, this is not just hanging on you, husband."
Before coming here, Li Qi had warned many times that these three tips could not be obtained by outsiders, so Nan Bowan hung one around his neck and did not dare to take it off at any time, including when he was in love with his wife.
Nanbo Wandao: "I remember what my lord once said. When you come to Japan, open the first bag of tips."
Cao said: "I also remember this. The first tip is to establish Songren Prefecture and gather all the merchants of the Song Dynasty in Songren Prefecture."
Nan Bowan hummed and said, "But my lord also said that we should wait until the Ping clan has suffered a huge defeat before opening the second bag of tips."
Mr. Cao was stunned when he heard this and said: "Could it be that--could your Excellency be referring to the death of Ping Zhongzheng?"
"I think so."
"This---is this man really capable of predicting the future?"
Nan Bo Wan shook his head and said: "Your Excellency is an unparalleled genius and knows things like a god. This is not surprising. I have long been used to it."
Cao said: "In this case, my husband should open this second tip bag as soon as possible and see what the Lord said on it."
Nan Bowan sighed: "The problem lies in this second tip bag."
Cao said: "What's the matter?"
Nan Bowan said distressedly: "Your Excellency said in the first tip bag, let us gather the merchants of the Song Dynasty in Songrenzhou to appease the Japanese people, but the second tip bag said, let me start preparations to send all these merchants away.
."
"What?"
Ms. Cao was extremely surprised, "Why would you do this, sir? Song Renzhou is so prosperous now, it's all brought by those businessmen, everything is good, why should you send them away."
"I'm wondering too!"
Nan Bowan scratched his head hard and said: "This order of your Excellency is really hard to understand. It's a pity that you didn't explain the reason. Now that you are not here, I don't know what to do."
Cao said: "Can your lord tell me where to send these merchants?"
Nan Hakumandao: "Ezo land."
This Ezo land became known as Hokkaido in later generations, but it is still inhabited by indigenous people and is not under the management of the Japanese court.
Mrs. Cao was also confused when she heard this, but the onlookers knew clearly, and she said: "Husband, since the Lord wants you to do this, he must have his intention, just do it."
Nan Bowan said: "I know this too. The problem is that those businessmen have invested so much money here. How could they be willing to leave if they don't make their money back?"
When Cao heard this, it seemed to be the same reason. Unless you escorted the businessman away, in that case, the problem would be big, and civil strife might break out. Moreover, Li Qi's tips had already stated that it should be done in secret, and don't let anyone know.
People noticed that the businessman from Songren Prefecture suddenly disappeared. How could it not be noticed? She pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is not a trivial matter, and the affairs of governing Songren Prefecture have always been managed by military advisors. No matter what happens,
I'm afraid I can't hide it from her, so why don't you ask the military advisor?"
"Yes, why did I forget the military advisor?"
Nan Hakuman's eyes lit up, and he immediately sighed: "It's a pity that the military advisor and General Liu went to Echizen Prefecture to attend Taira Tadamasa's funeral."
Cao said: "Husband, this matter is not a trivial matter. You should go to see the military advisor instead of waiting here."
"That's right. Well, you can help me take care of things here first, and I'll go to Echizen Prefecture."
"Husband, please go quickly."
"Um."
...
...
As Zhao Jingyan expected, a pioneer officer of the Genji got the body of Ping Zhongzheng and took it as his own, claiming that Ping Zhong died under his own arrow. Sure enough, both he and his leader Yuan Weiyi got their hands.
The imperial court's large-scale rewards are like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and things are different now.
But what was unexpected was that Genji transported the bodies of Taira Tadamasa and some of the main leaders back to the Taira clan.
At first glance, something seemed amiss. The Genji and the Heira clan were sworn enemies. It was polite enough not to whip the corpse. How could they possibly transport Taira Takarada's body back?
But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising. The Ping clan is now at the end of its war effort, and Ping Zhongzheng is nothing more than a corpse. If this is not ignored, it will definitely arouse the anger of the Ping clan who will fight to the death. In order to end it as soon as possible
Genji will only use gentle methods to fight. The underlying meaning is that you should stop fighting. You can't fight anymore. You should surrender as soon as possible. I won't kill you all. Look, I will send the body back.
It’s given to you. This is already a great favor.
After Taira Takarasa's body was transported back, Echizen Prefecture immediately fell into this wailing. When Taira Tadamashi died, the Taira clan was leaderless. It's not that the Taira clan was extinct, it was just that no one dared to take over this mess. You, Taira Tadamashi, are
Simply, send all the main force out in one fell swoop. At this time, whoever wins will die. Although there is no saying that the first bird will be shot at this time, everyone understands this truth.
However, if you ask them to surrender, they are not willing to do so, especially those leaders, such as Iga Momokawa, Taira Takero and others. They are direct descendants of the Taira clan. Who can guarantee that the Genji family will tolerate them.
The funeral hall of Taira Tairasa was arranged in the government office of Echizen Prefecture.
Many people came to pay their respects, including Niu Gao and Zhao Jingyan.
They had just finished burning incense and expressing their condolences to Taira Taira's family. Fujiyoshi Miki came over and said with a sad face: "General Niu, Military Advisor Zhao, please come in."
Niu Gao and Zhao Jingyan looked at each other with expressionless faces and just nodded.
When I came to the back hall, I saw that it was full of people. The elderly were in their fifties and the youngest were only sixteen or seventeen years old. They were all wearing white clothes and their faces were filled with sorrow and anger. Most of these people were members of the Taira clan, as well as Iga Momokawa and others.
When some people from the Ping clan saw Zhao Jingyan and Niu Gao coming, they all stood up and saluted, appearing extremely respectful, but their expressions were a little embarrassed, as if they were ashamed to see them.
After Zhao Jingyan and Niu Gao returned the greetings one by one, Fujiyoshi Miki arranged for Zhao Jingyan and Niu Gao to sit on the first and second seats on the right, on the same level as the elders of the Ping family. That was a lot of face!
After they were seated, Fujiyoshi Miki, a scholar, began to preside over the meeting. He was heard saying: "I know that everyone is still immersed in the grief of the death of the master, and I am too, but now is not the time to grieve. The war is still going on. Genji
The army has entered Hokurikudo. We must come up with a response as soon as possible. We are calling everyone here today. There are two main things. The first is to elect a new family to lead our Taira clan to resist the Genji clan.
The second thing is that I hope you can come up with strategies to defend against the enemy."
As soon as these words came out, there were whispers underneath.
Zhao Jingyan suddenly stood up, cupped her hands and said, "Oh, this is your family matter. We are afraid of any inconvenience here, so we will leave first."
Fujiyoshi Miki said hurriedly: "Commander Zhao is out. Your country and our Ping clan are allies. We can also be said to be a family. How can there be any inconvenience?"
"family?"
Zhao Jingyan chuckled and said, "Mr. Fujiyoshi thinks highly of us."
Fujiyoshi Miki looked a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to look directly, and seemed very guilty, and said: "Army---what did the military advisor say?"
Zhao Jingyan sneered and said: "I also thought we were allies, but judging from many things, your Ping family does not seem to regard us as allies, but I don't blame you. I am here today just to represent myself.
Come, after all General Ping and I have gotten to know each other, and by the way I want to say goodbye to you, we are already preparing to withdraw our troops from Japan."
