Since the Song Dynasty was already mediating their move south, naturally no generals would advise Yelu Yixin to go north. No one would make a wrong choice between going south to enjoy the prosperity and going north to endure the bitter cold.
Especially when they saw the rewards brought by the merchants of the Song Dynasty... they were able to send these items in through the heavy encirclement. In other words, the negotiations between the Song Dynasty and the Liao court were promising.
What they didn't know was that only a small part of the huge caravan arrived at their gathering point... No matter what time it was, even a war could not stop the merchants' desire to make money.
The same goes for the rich and powerful.
Even she didn't know what kind of energy Zhao Qin's caravan had. This time, she just gave an explanation. She was just following the crowd and following the direction of public opinion of the Song Dynasty. She arranged to transport a reward on behalf of the court.
Then, the caravan below was completed.
"The goods have been delivered."
"I went back to the official's house and delivered it. The reply said there was no accident."
"Xiaoqin, I'm going to look at your role here. Can it be completed by delivering it to the Emperor of Northern Liao?"
"Official family, concubine...concubine..."
She, Zhao Qin, really didn't know this. Over the years, only the official family had not changed the name they used to call her, which made her feel at ease. Even if the official family carefully thought about their words and could figure out other meanings, she, Zhao Qin, also
Don't worry too much.
As for how powerful the entire trading company was, she really hadn't considered it carefully.
"I told you earlier that when the caravan enters the grassland and desert, more attention should be paid to the distribution of forces there, as well as the pastures, pastures, and grazing conditions, etc., have you done this?"
It is inevitable to regain Yanyun, and even expand the territory to the north of Yanshan Mountain. Zhao Xi has been planning it very early, not only the Imperial City Division, but also Zhao Qin's caravan.
explained.
No one cares about caravans, they just think that they are just bringing goods. In this era, no one values the ability to gather information in business.
Zhao Xi is different. Culture and commerce are weapons comparable to combat power in Zhao Xi's eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the current Song Dynasty, in addition to the state-run temples and workshops of the imperial court, which controlled the lifeblood of courtiers' families through various industries, Zhao Qin's business network had the largest reach among all the noble families in the country.
Profound and most thorough.
For more than thirty years, the seeds Zhao Xi planted were the only ones that grew into towering trees on the commercial side. Even apart from the court, the royal family could still control the income of most gentry families in the country.
This is the scariest thing.
With Zhao Xi using various cross-shareholding methods from later generations, even Zhao Qin could hardly explain the terrifying power of this huge trading company.
"I have been working on it. The size of the land, whether it is suitable for farming or grazing, who the forces are, the dependence and tendencies of each force, etc. I have arranged for them to record it. There are more than a room of recording paper."
"Guan family, I have heard from people below that the products in Liaodong are actually quite rich, but the Jurchens are barbaric and don't know how to develop them..."
Although the force managed by Zhao Qin has become a force that cannot be ignored in the country, she has always regarded herself as a palace maid with no rank in the inner garden.
This is why Zhao Xi dares to entrust him with important tasks and still maintains absolute trust. Some people are born to be housekeepers...
"Liaodong... There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty: Among the tributes paid by the Bohai State to the Tang Dynasty was "Rice from Lucheng". Its rice is as heavy as sand, as bright as jade, and its soup is as milky and overflows with strong fragrance."
"The real Champa rice can only have a strong rice fragrance after being baptized by winter snow..."
What the housekeeper said seemed to Zhao Qin to have profound meaning, and it was definitely not just about rice. At this time, just listen quietly.
"It won't be long before the markets of the country will be filled with Liaodong rice!"
How could Zhao Xi not know about Liaodong? Thousands of miles of fertile fields create fertile fields. The Great Northern Wilderness of later generations...
Only the ignorance of the Northern Liao court only knew how to ask for a few birds from the Jurchens, which caused the Jurchens to resist, and also led to the demise of the Northern Liao in the original history.
No need now, it will be the Song Dynasty that will destroy Northern Liao, and Liaodong, that piece of wilderness that has been reclaimed, should have been a farming nation...
Zhao Xi also agrees with this kingly rule sometimes. People all over the world have their own houses, every farmer has his own land, and everyone lives with dignity, so why can't the world be truly unified?
People in the world are fighting for their lives, aren't they just fighting for life? Just give it to them. If you want to live a better life, just help them.
It's easy to say it, but it's easier said than done if you want to do it? For example, Yelu Yixin, what he strives for is to be in charge of the entire Northern Liao Dynasty and to be the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty.
Therefore, what he faced was death. He fought hard and fought for it for many years, but what he got was the death he was about to face.
Because Yelu Yixin's rebel team has been surrounded by the Northern Liao imperial army...
When the Song Dynasty court sent envoys, the Northern Liao Dynasty accelerated the encirclement and suppression of the rebels. As far as the Northern Liao court was concerned, Yelu Yixin and other rebels had to die or be encircled and annihilated by the Liao Dynasty.
Although the so-called negotiations with the envoys of the Song Dynasty would never compromise on this point, the Northern Liao court still wanted to cut the knot quickly to avoid the loopholes in the original agreement that could be exploited by the Song Dynasty, which would lead to annihilation.
On the issue of the rebels, they were entangled with the Song Dynasty... The Song people were cunning and could not play word games with Daliao.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the Song Dynasty sent envoys to the north, which actually accelerated the death of Yelu Yixin and others... This is probably the original intention of the Song Dynasty court.
"Surrounded. On the territory of the eight enemy tribes, Yelu Yixin was surrounded."
The information about Yelu Yixin was shared by the Imperial City Department, and the cabinet also saw it.
"The officials, Yelu Yixin, gathered the scattered troops to the north. It seems that they had the purpose of fleeing northward... It is reported that the Haolang'er tribe further north has received favors from Yelu Yixin.
.This Yelu Yixin never wants to accept his fate!"
"It's too late. Looking at this report, not only the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty, but also the Eight Enemy Lieutenants, the Zupu Department, and the Chazha Imperial Department are all devoting all their efforts to encircle and suppress Yelu Yixin. Even the original response
The Menggu tribe, which was involved in the Yelu Yixin uprising, also sent troops symbolically..."
"As for Hao Lang'er's tribe, when the Northern Liao imperial army marched north, they immediately came out to announce that they would send troops to assist the Northern Liao imperial court and launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against Yelu Yixin."
"There is no escape. Yelu Yixin's fate ends here..."
That's it. The once all-powerful hero will eventually die tragically in the wilderness...
