Many things happened in Tokyo in May, and they were all very important.
For example, the Zhao Guanjia emphasized the counter-strategy of the puppet Qi, announced their approval of Lu Yihao's version of Southeast Yuechun Money, and formulated the quota of soldiers and horses for each army in the imperial camp...
Among them, the imperial camp's rear army was directly reduced to a quota of 15,000 after the Jiangning Army Rebellion. It is still stationed in the southeast. It mainly assists Lu Yihao in stabilizing the rear and also serves as a necessary reserve army:
The Imperial Camp Left Army, that is, the Huaixi Army led by Han Shizhong, has a quota of 45,000;
The right army of the Imperial Camp, that is, the Huaidong Army led by Zhang Jun, has a quota of 35,000;
The former imperial camp army, that is, the former Tokyo Stay-behind Division and his headquarters led by Yue Fei, have a total quota of 55,000, but it is necessary to carry out a large-scale downsizing and elimination of the Tokyo Stay-behind Division troops and horses, but the soldiers and horses of the Tokyo Stay-behind Division dare
It is also true that after war there is a mixed bag of good and bad;
For the imperial camp, because the Shaanzhou Army led by Li Yanxian has the presence of the Hedong Rebel Army, and he is unable to get away from the front line, it is difficult to negotiate a specific amount for the time being, but Wang De and Wang Yanjia together have a quota of 35,000...
…
The total of these is based on the quota of 200,000 infantry and the on-paper establishment of 30,000 cavalry. However, the latter is difficult to realize in a short time, so we can only take our time.
In addition, there is the appointment of Kansai.
Due to geographical reasons, it is difficult to separate the Kansai side from Bashu, and considering the transshipment losses, the two naturally formed an independent economic and military system. The most reasonable and reasonable way is naturally Bashu
Supply directly to Kansai, and then form an army in Kansai.
Moreover, Bashu is rich and is the only region that has not been affected by the war. Even judging from Zhao Kai's economic reforms, the economic potential there can be deeply explored, so we must pay special attention to it even if it is beyond our reach.
In this regard, Zhao Guan's family was as relaxed as ever. He still appointed Yu Wenxuzhong to be in charge of Chang'an and coordinate everything; he appointed Zhang Jun as Bashu and Xihe Five-Road Transport Envoy, taking charge of the rear finance and supplies; he appointed Hu Yin as Yanyan and Jingyuan.
Set up envoys in the road system and take charge of the front line...This forms a three-person team that can guarantee loyalty.
After all, the Zhao Guan family still trusts Hu Mingzhong. Although this man is military incompetent, his character is impeccable. Since he said that he would only listen to the words of the veteran and would not interfere with the military for his own purposes, he must be able to do it.
Compared with these incidents, such as replacing Li Guang as the censor Zhongcheng, appointing Wan Qixi as the censor in the palace, patrolling Nanjing, and serving as the "supervisory army" for Yue Fei's army reorganization, it seems insignificant.
In the end, although this May was extremely busy, the Zhao family finally decided to cordially receive the Goryeo envoy Kim Fu-sik...
That's right, Zhao Jiu slapped himself in the face after all.
Let's talk about it, regardless of Liu Ziyu's attempts, how could the envoys of Goryeo agree to the Song Dynasty to unite to fight against the Jin Dynasty? This is not like when Wanyan Aguda first raised his army, with thousands of soldiers and horses, the Goryeo Kingdom could still start thinking. Now the Great Song Dynasty
After all, Jin is a powerful country with hundreds of thousands of troops, so it would be unrealistic for his body to resist Jin.
In fact, during the process of the rise of the Jin Kingdom, the fall of the Khitan, and the decline of the Song Dynasty, Goryeo has always been very down-to-earth... After Wanyan Agu raised his army, they saw that they were weak, so they sent troops under the banner of helping the suzerain country Daliao to suppress the rebellion.
crusade; later Wanyan Aguda went crazy in Liaodong, and they immediately became a brotherly state with the Jin Kingdom; then the Jingkang Incident broke out, and the Two Saints hunted in the north. They were shocked when they heard the news, but they immediately pledged their allegiance to the Jin Kingdom.
.
During the whole process, Goryeo unknowingly took advantage of the situation and occupied all the territory east of the Yalu River, expanding its territory by more than half.
Comparatively speaking, that idiot in Xixia, the Khitan died and fought for territory with the Jin Kingdom. As a result, there was a cavalry battle, and the main mobile force was completely defeated by the Jin Kingdom's most powerful West Route Army. After the Jingkang Incident, it was clear that there was no
In order to expand their strength, they tried to take advantage on the border of the Song Dynasty. As a result, Qu Duan and Wu Jie launched a defensive counterattack, and then they remained silent until now.
In other words, Goryeo, as the third country outside the Song and Jin Dynasties that has the clearest view of the situation (certainly better than Xixia), has always had its own judgment of the situation, and this time they sent envoys to Tokyo, no matter what the internal debate was
However, judging from the external performance, it was obviously impacted by the unsuccessful return of the Jin army at the beginning of the year. I feel that the future situation may be a confrontation between the north and the south of Song and Jin... Although the Jin Kingdom is strong, it is likely to become
A stronger Khitan, and although the Song Dynasty was weak, it was able to stabilize the situation.
Ever since, there has been a situation where the two sides of Korea once again made bets together, which can be regarded as a traditional performance that has lasted for more than a hundred years.
As for why the Zhao Guan family broke their promise and gained weight, the reason is very simple.
Prime Minister Lu Haowen personally came to tell Zhao Guan's family that although Goryeo could not be used to fight against Jin, the trade between the two countries was still very friendly. After Jingkang, because Goryeo's Qilu land had recently fallen into the hands of thieves, economic and trade exchanges were inevitably severely frustrated.
, a proper interview to express the hope of resuming sea-going ship trade from the south of Xuzhou would be of great benefit to the growth of commercial tax.
In this regard, the Zhao Guan family, who was already crazy about poverty, naturally followed the good deeds.
However, just when the official found a businessman in Tokyo who knew the inside story of Goryeo to do his homework in advance, he was shocked to find that... Goryeo seemed to have the possibility of taking the initiative to collect gold!
This is not fantasy, but fact. The reason lies in the internal struggle of Goryeo.
"Good instructors know that Korea was not peaceful before."
We are still in the stone pavilion facing the lake. The only difference is that after seven or eight days, the weeds here have grown more vigorously, and the snakes and insects in the lake are also obviously much more prosperous. In broad daylight, the sound of people is actually obscured.
Frogs and cicadas chirped all the time... and the person speaking at this time was a tall, dignified, middle-aged man dressed in white. He was a scholar named Wang Lun who lived in the old days and later became a wealthy businessman in the East China Sea.
He behaved elegantly, so he was nicknamed the White-robed Scholar. He was currently sitting in the stone pavilion nervously telling the official story.
"First of all, in the past many years, a powerful minister appeared in the country. He was the grandfather of the current leader of Goryeo. His name was Li Ziqian. He had great power in the government and everyone. After three dynasties, he gradually became like Wang Mang..."
After saying this, the man visibly paused. Next to the rich man in white, on another stone bench in the pavilion, was another middle-aged man in plain clothes with an upright appearance and a graceful appearance. His expression also turned awkward.
Because the person sitting with him is a standard relative, the so-called head of the Pearl Wu family.
Yes, this man in plain clothes, who is about forty years old, is naturally the Wu family's father-in-law, Wu Jin, whom Zhao Guan's family has always wanted to fight against. This time, Zhao Guan's family asked him to find Wang Lun, a Korean sea merchant and a scholar in white.
"Listening to your words, it must be impossible." Zhao Guanjia naturally knew what was going on, but he didn't care and urged casually.
"Of course it didn't happen." Wang Lun quickly answered. "How could such a thing happen? The current leader of Goryeo is also a man of means. The so-called Zheng Bike and Duan Yuyan played hard to get, but they won him over in the first year of Jingkang.
He was a close general of his grandfather, and then he suddenly eradicated his grandfather and killed all his party, and then exiled his grandfather's close generals."
Zhao Jiu nodded slowly... This is also an old routine in East Asia. It can only be said that the Korean Miao Dynasty has good roots and is worthy of being one of the core civilizations of East Asia that has lasted for a long time.
"Later." Seeing the officials nodding, Wang Lun gradually got rid of the nervousness of meeting the officials for the first time, and gradually became more comfortable. "Although the Li family fell, no one had control of the military, military and financial power for a while, which caused a civil war in Goryeo.
The internal fighting between the two groups of nobles in Beijing and Xijing..."
Zhao Jiu was bored. This kind of thing is so reasonable, okay?
In other words, Wang Lun, a well-educated wealthy businessman, didn't know how to observe people's words and emotions. He knew that the officials were impatient to hear this, but he quickly skipped these nonsense and got to the point:
"The good instructor knows that the two groups of nobles are fighting among themselves based on geographical divisions, but it gives the King of Goryeo an opportunity to establish his own confidants. In order to take power personally, he did not hesitate to appoint the monk Miaoqing in an unusual way, as well as some newly promoted confidants.
Ministers such as Zheng Zhichang and others came to govern, but these people strongly advocated the cutting of gold, and during the Jingkang period, they implemented a cutting of gold. It just happened that the envoy Jin Fushi returned from Tokyo that day and warned Jingkang.
The chaos showed the strength of the Jin people, so it was stopped just now."
Zhao Jiu's heart moved slightly, and he finally became a little interested.
"The official family." After the introduction, Wang Lun finally carefully expressed his opinion. "The official family asked the common people about the inside story of Korea, and the common people had to be brave to respond...According to the common people's opinion, everyone in the Korean kingdom now
The barbaric attitude of the Jin people is generally looked down upon, and both the government and the public are quite resentful of being vassal to the Jin. However, the group of people led by Jin Fushi who came here are dedicated to big things, regardless of the barbarians of China.
He would pay attention to whomever he saw defecating, and he would never hesitate to change his family, nor did he care about his face. It was Jin Fushi who had submitted his vassalage to Jin before, but now that he saw that the official Long Wei was so powerful in the Central Plains, he was the one who took the initiative to do so.
Kim Fushi."
Zhao Jiu thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said it was hard work.
Wang Lun was so frightened that he immediately stood up and saluted.
"That's good." Zhao Jiu thought for a moment and said casually. "If you still want to do business, then do business. Just treat it as if you came here for nothing. But if you are interested, I will send you a note to ask.
Mr. Lu Xianggong, now that the country is employing people, can you please temporarily come to Honglu Temple and serve as Jin Fushi's ambassador...and if you do well this time, you will be given a background to do this seriously?"
Wang Lun was a maritime merchant after failing in the imperial examination. He had some expectations for this meeting, so why wouldn't he want to? But he also knew that he had to pass Lu Haowen's test, so he didn't dare
Showing too much emotion is just bowing your head and thanking you.
After thanking him, Wang and Wu knew that the matter was over, so they did not dare to stay any longer and directly resigned.
Zhao Guan's family didn't care, and actually sent Wu Jin off for dozens of steps before returning to the pavilion to think.
Not to mention what Zhao Jiu remembered and how he planned to deal with the Goryeo envoy, Wang Lun and Wu Jin went out together and walked many steps. They saw the lush grass around them and there was not even a cigarette smoke. They felt more and more sad in their hearts.
, but I dare not say more.
But when he turned the door, he came face to face with a ceremonial stand. It was said to be a ceremonial stand, but there were no livestock or cars. There were only four or five palace people. The servants surrounded a beauties dressed in palace clothes and came towards them. And that
The beauty in palace attire was holding a plate of ice cream in her hand, and was heading towards the official residence.
Wang Lun was still confused, but Wu Jin was the taller one and the other. He bowed and saluted from afar, but the beauty didn't even look at her, didn't say hello, and just passed by.
After they left, Wang Lun suddenly realized: "It's Mrs. Pan? Where is your wife?"
Wu Jin looked at the sun. He was also depressed, but he just shook his head: "I should be studying or practicing martial arts at this time... Anyway, I am in school."
The scholar in white was stunned.
