Chapter 363: A hundred years of shame, sweeping away the turbidity in the chest
The alliance negotiations went so smoothly that Yang Lin was a little dazed. When he saw Xiao Fengxian's flattering smile, he suddenly understood.
An uncontrollable feeling of contempt filled his chest, and he wanted to step forward and spit: "treacherous sycophant."
This guy is so spineless. As the Prime Minister of Khitan, he has turned a good dynasty into this state, but he is still betraying the country.
In fact, speaking of it, among the Liao rulers in the past dynasties, there were some who were more ridiculous than Yelu Yanxi. The Khitan's downfall was mainly responsible for this treacherous prime minister.
Their relationship is a bit similar to Hu Hai and Zhao Gao. Of course, Yang Lin is disgusting. Having such a person around is still very beneficial to his negotiations.
The two sides finally finalized the alliance, and the Song Dynasty sent troops to stop the Jurchen Tatars from continuing to advance westward and protect Yelu Yanxi from the attacks of the two rebel kings.
In exchange, the Song Dynasty will receive ten military states in the land of Youyan. The Nanjing Road of the Liao Dynasty has since become history and will no longer have this name.
The annual currency between the Liao and Song Dynasties was abolished, and the emperors of both sides still treated each other as brothers. There were no longer restrictions on the exchanges and trade between merchants of the two countries on the border between the two countries.
The last one seems incomparable to the previous ones, but it is actually the real big move. Once there are no restrictions on the mutual market between the two parties, whoever Da Song does business with will be equivalent to soliciting money.
After Yang Lin personally polished the pen of the Covenant, he blew the ink spots and his palms trembled slightly. The two shameful labels of Sui Coin and You Yan on the Song Dynasty were finally removed.
Although there will still be some obstacles, Yang Lin has determined that now is the best time to implement the things on this piece of paper even if everything is turned upside down.
Immediately afterwards, Liao officials translated it into Khitan and copied it into two copies, and then both parties left one in Chinese and one in Khitan for each other.
Yang Lin held two covenants in different words, his palms trembling a little, and ordered his soldiers to send them to Bianliang as quickly as possible.
My thoughts now seem to be completely correct. The small court of Liao Dynasty, which is still alive in Datong Mansion, is almost impossible to revive Daliao.
But the destructive power it can unleash on this terminal dynasty is astonishing. To put it simply, this group of faint-hearted kings and sycophants failed more than succeeded. They were a scourge to the Khitan and a treasure to the Song Dynasty.
If they were gone, or if Yelu Yanxi had died in the battle in Shangjing, the highly popular prince Yelu Ao and Luo might not be able to block the Jurchens from succeeding to the throne——
Datong Prefecture in Yunzhou is concluding an alliance. In Ganzhou, which is thousands of miles away from here, Song Jiang is gathering the leaders of the Uighur tribes here.
The Xizhou Uighurs have been conquered by the Dangxiang people for a long time, and now they have a different owner, but nothing has changed.
The only difference is that after the war, the northwest slowly became more prosperous. Life became more comfortable, and no one missed the rule of Xixia. The Uighurs were willing to enjoy their happiness under the rule of the Song Dynasty.
The lobby was full of people, and the chair at the top was raised a little higher. Sitting there was a dark man, who was from Yuncheng, Shandong Province. He was a confidant of the young prime minister of the dynasty, Song Jiang, the chief official of the northwest frontier of the Qinlong system.
Around him, many of the subordinate generals looked happy, not only respecting this superior, but also showing some brotherly loyalty.
Song Jiang pressed his hands, stood up, and said loudly: "I called everyone here today, and gathered here for no other reason than for Kaerhan."
Kaerhan has always been on the same page with everyone. After Song Jiang said this, everyone was a little confused.
Song Jiang's face turned red, but fortunately he was dark enough so he couldn't see it. He coughed lightly and said loudly, "You all know about the Kingdom of Khotan, right?"
Khotan is an ancient country in the Western Regions. It was founded in the Western Han Dynasty. Under the rule of the royal family Yuchi, it survived for more than 1,200 years until it was destroyed by Kaer Khan in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The residents belong to the Tocharians who speak the Indo-European language family. They were annexed by the Kara Khanate a hundred years ago in the early Song Dynasty and were gradually transformed into Uighurs. Originally, the whole country believed in Buddhism, and the monks were burned to death and forced to
Now I am slowly converting to Islam.
Bie Shiyeli, the clan leader of the Seven Qiang in Hengshan, tilted his head and said in confusion: "The Khotan Kingdom has been destroyed for a hundred years, how come the governor remembered it?"
Song Jiang pointed at a man next to him and said loudly: "To be honest, this man is the direct son and grandson of the Yuchi family of the royal family of Khotan, and his name is Yuchirong."
A man rubbed his eyes, closed them again and shook his head vigorously. After opening his eyes to make sure, he shouted: "Brother Gongming, isn't this Hua Rong?"
With a snap, he was hit on the head, and Yuchi Rong shouted: "Fuck your mother, I am the authentic prince of Khotan, the eldest brother of the Yuchi family, which generation am I from?"
"Forty-two." Song Jiang glared at him and said angrily.
"I am a descendant of the 42nd generation of the Yuchi family. I am of the royal family of Khotan. It was only because of the excessive bullying of the Karhanites that I had to hide in Qingzhou, Shandong. Now I have defected to the Song Dynasty.
, I just want to express my grievances and let your majesty and brother Gongming avenge me." Yu Chirong said seriously.
On his dark face, there were two small mung bean eyes, which looked very happy. It was even more funny when he said he was a prince seriously.
After hundreds of years of enslavement, the Khotan people were trained to be more obedient than horses and donkeys, and they were obediently enslaved by the Kahan Uighurs.
I have never heard that any of them dared to seek reunification, so Song Jiang simply supported one Yu Chirong to come out.
If you want to inflict a crime, there is no excuse. When someone stronger than you wants to hit you, even your breathing can be his excuse.
Only the stories in the storybook can distinguish right from wrong. In the final analysis, this world is more competitive than fists. Song Jiang said angrily: "The Khotan Kingdom was very respectful to the Song Dynasty at the beginning. When the country was destroyed, they still wanted to ask for help from the Song Dynasty.
.On Yuchirong’s body, there is a blood edict written by Yuchi Sangharama, the leader of Khotan a hundred years ago.
Brother Yuchirong, take it out for everyone to see."
Hua Rong took it out from his arms, suddenly froze, and said sheepishly: "Brother, I forgot to stuff it in yesterday. Anyway, everyone here is a brother. There is no one who doesn't believe it. It doesn't matter if you don't see it."
Don't forget that Yeli has already realized that the Song Dynasty wanted to take advantage of Karhan, and the purpose was obvious, to open up the east-west trade routes and break the monopoly of those Islamic countries on trade routes.
Everyone present is not a fool. If you get through Kaerhan, your wealth will increase exponentially.
"Commissioner, let's be honest, when will we declare war?"
"Declaration of war? We are only helping the Khotan people to restore their country. As for the matter of returning the country to the Song Dynasty after the restoration, we will talk about it at that time.
This is a war for the restoration of the Khotanese people, not a war between the Song Dynasty and the Kahan Khans, and there is no need to declare war."
"Then when will the fight be fought?"
"Today we will kill the sheep for a meal and send troops to attack Yuechang City at night."
