After hearing the question from the eldest prince Wanyan Oben, Qin Hui shuddered, but did not reply directly. Instead, he scanned the crowd with his eyes.
By the way, this is the Yanjing Chancery. Meeting here with everyone cross-legged has been the political habit of the young ruler for several years. Now, although the ruler is seventeen years old, he has been an adult for more than a year, and his political influence has also increased.
It gradually became stronger, but it was still not enough to see in front of the three princes.
In addition, the Kingdom of Jin had an old system of tribal democracy, so no one had any doubts about this meeting model, which represented the highest political power of the Kingdom of Jin.
Isn't there some kind of secret pavilion in Zhao and Song Dynasties in the south? Even if Zhao Guan's family didn't come back for a year, it wouldn't be a waste.
It is said that he learned Chinese culture from Da Jin.
Today, in addition to the fact that the king of the country, Wanyan Hela, was not here as usual, the King of Jin led the Prime Minister of the capital...that is, the third prince, Wanyan Yinliduo... also took some central officials to Zhending Mansion.
The situation is remote control, so there are only a few people participating in this meeting here at this time:
Taishi, the king of Liao led Pingzhang in military and state affairs, that is, the eldest prince Wanyan Onben;
The King of Wei led the envoy of the Privy Council, the fourth prince Wanyan Wushu;
Wanyan Xiyin, deputy prime minister of the capital, the de facto promoter of the Sinicization reform, and the de facto political leader of the Jin Kingdom;
Hanlin bachelor, internal system, actually represents Han Fang, the seventeen-year-old leader of the country and himself the leader of the Han people in Yanyun;
The provincial capital accepted the decree and appointed Hong Ya, the Minister of Household Affairs and Wanyan Xiyin's actual deputy, who was transferred from Qi State;
The Privy Council accepted the decree and was also the Minister of Rites, and Wulin responded to Zanmo;
The left deputy commander of the Yanjing New Army, Wulin of ten thousand households responded to Taiyu;
In addition, there are four others, namely Wanyan Talan, Wanyan Wuye, Wanyan Yinshuke, and Wanyan Pujianu, but they are typical new faces plus old faces.
Among these four, the 'scholar' Wanyan Wuye, who is less than 40 years old, is a new face, but his rise to the top is expected, because he is the Jurchen teacher of the king, a confidant of the king, and a close friend.
The Zhizong clan (Talan's brother) and the pioneer of Chineseization are believed to be the heirs of Wanyan Xiyin... Now that the king of the country has come of age, of course there must be a place for this new minister of the Ministry of Industry.
But the three old guys, Wanyan Pujianu, Wanyan Talan, and Wanyan Yinshuke, have returned to the core power. But it is not just because the little country leader wants to use the skills of these people to fight against the three uncles, but because the entire
Due to the overall situation and situation, the ruling group had no choice but to do this. At the beginning of this year, just after the New Year, there was a late spring cold, which directly caused the death of the former leader Wu Qibuy, who was paralyzed on the kang, and went to see Taizu Wanyan Aguda.
went.
Wu Qimai is not the same thing as his son. After all, he was the second ruler after the founding of the country. He was the pillar of the country as early as the Aguda period, stabilizing the rear for Aguda. Later, during his reign, he also completed the early stage of the Song Dynasty.
The invasion led to the Jingkang Incident, which was regarded as seizing the two rivers for the Jin Kingdom as the heartland. At the same time, he also completed part of the centralization of state power during his term, appeasing and integrating various tribal forces outside the pass.
Although the political situation was out of control in his later years, it was still a non-war crime. On the way back to his political base after leaving Yanjing, he collapsed when the wind blew. Who can blame him?
This is really something that can't be helped. Lou Shi made it very clear when he came to Shangshutai. The group of 'old people' from the founding period of the People's Republic of China, from Aguda on down, generally suffered enough when they were young, and young and middle-aged people
And Duo fought tooth and nail on the battlefield, dying when he wanted to. It was so helpless.
It is an objective fact that famous founding kings and generals continue to wither away.
All in all, Wu Qimai's political achievements are there, and there is nothing immoral. Even if Wanyan Wushu staged a coup, the three brothers did not dare to deny him, but pushed the out-of-control political situation to Nianhan.
Later, he wanted to eliminate Wu Qimai's direct forces and also engaged in fishing and law enforcement, but he did not dare to touch Wu Qimai.
Therefore, Wu Qimai's death immediately triggered serious political turmoil.
Specifically, the old forces of the Jin Kingdom outside the Pass, which were already seriously dissatisfied with the relocation of the capital and the re-employment of the Han people, immediately lost their patience, and took advantage of this incident to launch a non-violent non-cooperation movement outside the Guan... Some were simply violent non-cooperation movements.
... He vaguely said that the old king died because his son was killed by a traitor, and he was filled with sorrow and anger.
Under such circumstances, Yanjing still has to face pressure from the south, and the ten new Yanjing troops that the country is making great efforts to build are themselves a design of half Guanwai tribe and half Yanyun Han people, so there is no need
At this time, Fa fell out with Guanwai.
In the end, just as Zhao Guan's family had to appease some southeastern opposition parties, Daikin here also chose to appease the tribes outside the pass... Everyone has their own national conditions here... The first thing is to recognize Wu Qimai's political achievements, and the temple name is Daikin
Emperor Taizong's specific posthumous title is Emperor Taizong, Emperor of Ti Yuan Ying Shi De Zhao Gong Zhe Huiren Sheng Wen Lie.
It is worth mentioning that this posthumous title was thought up by Qin Huizhi himself.
Secondly, they privately abandoned the ban on the smuggling of Goryeo luxury goods and at the same time vigorously rewarded the leaders of clans outside the customs.
In the end, there was no other way, so we re-activated these old-school figures who may not represent the interests of the tribe outside the pass, but can be recognized by the tribe outside the pass.
Of course, although Wanyan Yinshu was nominally the commander-in-chief of the Yanjing New Army, in fact the Yanjing New Army was divided into two parts, led by Wanyan Talan and Wulin Dataiyu respectively. He could command
It's a big deal to touch your thousands of old assets.
Wanyan Pu's slave became the deputy prime minister of the capital, but in fact it was just a decoration. Where Wanyan Xiyin was, how could it be this old guy's turn to interfere in government affairs?
The only thing worth mentioning is Wanyan Talan. After all, this person was the leader of both sides in the past. He has speculated many times. In addition, due to the overall situation this time, and he himself is considered a close clan member, especially in the new army of Yanjing.
On his old foundation, there is also a beautiful and lively girl who cannot regain her political future, which gives him even more opportunities, so this time he can seriously return to the core of central power.
Of course, the Yanjing New Army is full of new recruits, and there is no way for a living girl to advance, but that does not mean that he is so easy to handle. I am afraid that Talan, who has long since lost his minions in the army, wants to establish power in the New Army.
It still takes time.
Therefore, even after returning to the center of power, Ta Lai became a lot more honest. He followed the three princes in everything and never went out of his way.
Finally, among those present here, of course, there is a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Qin Hui Qin Huizhi, who actually served as the political affairs and strategic deputy of several princes and participated in all aspects of the affairs of the Jin Kingdom.
Put together, there are exactly twelve people at this time.
Turning back to the front of his eyes, the cicadas were still chirping. Qin Huizhi looked around at the people, and the information went through his mind. In fact, it only took a moment, and he only paused for a moment before speaking seriously to the eldest prince, Wanyan Oben.
:
"His Royal Highness the King of Liao, do you want to ask whether the things in the newspaper of the Song Dynasty are true or false, or do you want to ask whether the Song people will cross the river?"
"I want to ask all of them." Wanyan Onben also gained momentum and urged directly on the futon. "I also want to ask whether it is true or false, and I also want to ask about crossing the river... Let's talk about true and false first, and then cross the river."
Qin Hui nodded and responded calmly: "If this is the case, it will let the two kings and colleagues know. I believe that the Zhao Song officials themselves may not be able to tell whether the information in the residence newspaper is true or false."
The remaining eleven people, except for one Wanyan Xiyin whose expression remained unchanged and seemed to have woken up a long time ago, the remaining ten people were all stunned for a moment, and then began to think deeply.
"To put things into perspective, it's actually extremely simple." Qin Hui glanced at Wanyan Xiyin and saw that the other party seemed to disdain to do this kind of explanation work, so he continued. "That is, the document is a document, and the reality is the reality.
...Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, there are already provinces, Privy Council, Yushitai, Six Ministries, Jiuqing, Five Supervisors, as well as bachelors, ministers, secretaries, and even the marching department, the control department, and the imperial city.
Such systems have been like this for thousands of years. There are always people to take care of all kinds of things in the world... For example, as early as the Renzong Dynasty of Zhao and Song Dynasties, there were three secretaries in charge of financial strategy, and the accounts of the Imperial Army for a year could be detailed.
A penny was also written into a memorial and recorded, but is the military expenditure of the Renzong Dynasty really so detailed and clear?"
The remaining ten people also completely woke up.
Wanyan Talan immediately shook his head and laughed: "Let me tell you, how did the Song Dynasty become so capable? That Zhao Guan's family went to the south of the Yangtze River for a year and did not come back until a year later. As a result, as soon as they returned to the Central Plains, they walked from Nanjing to
Tokyo, in just half a month, was able to organize the country's internal affairs, foreign affairs, logistics and military supplies so well? It turned out to be just paperwork. And paperwork, there are so many government officials, if they just report according to the rules, they will always have something to say."
"Even if this is the case, it should not be underestimated." Wanyan Xiyin finally interrupted, but seriously reminded everyone present. "Let me ask you, is it better to have documents or not to have documents... Is it better to be as meticulous as a penny, or as careless as a penny?
Is it better to round up a hundred guans? If there is a system, officials, and documents, then we can follow the plan when something happens, and we can directly arrange things when we want to do things. And if there are no documents, then the Zhao Song official family
Even if he wants to scare us in the newspaper, he doesn’t know how to scare us!"
Xi Yin was so serious that Talan immediately scoffed at him. Everyone else heard that Xi Yin was talking about everyone as if he was lecturing a child, and they were also a little dissatisfied, but no one expressed it.
"That's right." Qin Hui then responded slowly. "Besides, although the words of the Zhao and Song officials in the residence newspaper were intended to scare us and encourage them, they may not be true lies to scare and deceive others..."
I just want to say that it is impossible for us to verify this kind of thing in any case, and it is impossible for Emperor Zhao and Song to know the national affairs and military affairs as well as he claimed in his newspaper. No one should take the specific content above seriously.
"
When everyone heard this, most of them nodded with emotion. Even Hong Ya, after looking at Qin Hui with great interest, immediately nodded as if thinking.
To put it bluntly, there are basically no stupid people in the Yanjing Secretariat. They are just short-term slaves such as Wanyan Pu's slave, who also led the army during Taizu's time, and also served as Wanyan Nianhan's deputy for a time.
Only to be replaced by Xiyin later.
Moreover, Qin Hui and Wanyan Xiyin's analysis is also very direct, and the reasoning is very simple. There is nothing difficult to understand.
That's it...what else could it be like?
You know, these days it is difficult to have the kind of idealized, dead soldier-like professional spies. It does not mean that there are no corresponding patriots, nor does it mean that the corresponding people cannot be sent to carry out corresponding activities, but that the traffic conditions and information
Passing conditions makes this action extremely inefficient and not very meaningful at all.
In fact, since ancient times, the concept of spies has been more of a part-time job...for example, a small group of armed reconnaissance, raiding troops, they go to investigate and break the attack, which is of course a typical 'use room'.
Another example is that envoys between countries go to places to test the political attitude of the other party, investigate geography along the way, and observe military arrangements. This is also a natural espionage behavior.
For example, high-ranking civil servants and military leaders with speculative power, or even tribes who are qualified to be outsiders or even third-party countries on both ends of the spectrum choose to convey certain information at a specific period, or even betray on the spot... These are all standards.
of espionage.

As for the very few who are in the Cao camp and whose hearts are in the Han Dynasty, most of them can only be Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Geng Ji, Jin Yi, and even Fa Zheng and Zhang Song need Liu Yuzhou to enter Shu to be effective.
Yes, it requires a corresponding military and political atmosphere... But now the Song and Jin countries are confronting each other along a Yellow River. The political bases of the two sides are thousands of miles apart, and pure espionage has basically been suppressed to a very low level.
Zheng Yinian must have accepted the so-called standard espionage mission before he left, but as soon as he returned, he became a loyal minister of Zhao Guan's family, including Gao Qingyi who followed him and went back without doing anything. Before his brother Zheng Xiunian came over from the south,
The one who registered with the Imperial City Department is now considered a high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty. Another registered person, Hong Ya, is sitting in this minister's desk, but are they really spies?
It's just a seed saved, waiting for the times to push it forward.
And back to the overall situation of the confrontation between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty... Low-intensity military reconnaissance on the front line must have never stopped, and there must have been small infiltrations, but as long as the Northern Expedition did not suddenly start, the vast majority of military intelligence along the river would have been of no use...
…because it will expire soon.
As the saying goes, big things cannot be hidden, and small things are worthless.
As for getting some high-level political information from the opponent's inner circle, it is difficult for the Song Dynasty to even count on the Taihang Rebels. It is better to hope that the Koreans will come easily. The Jin Kingdom is even more stubborn, so they might as well look at the opposite side.
Di newspaper.
But now Di Bao can no longer be trusted, because the Zhao and Song officials across the street have realized that Di Bao has established credibility and power of public opinion, so they began to use it to fool people.
In fact, this deception may not all be aimed at the Jurchens, and it may not even be aimed at the Song people themselves.
When the people of the South took a look at it, they saw such a detailed military layout, with hundreds of thousands of troops arrayed, and tens of millions of military reserves... including the fact that the armor coverage rate was less than 100%.
Of course, as for this, everyone in the Chancery still has not solved the most direct problem.
"Then let's get over it." Wanyan Offen saw Qin Hui fooling around with a question, feeling a little unhappy, so he continued to ask. "Qin Xianggong, just tell me whether Zhao Song will cross the river and go to the north this time!"
Qin Hui was silent for a moment again, and then simply answered with one word: "Yes."
In the main hall of Shangshutai, there were cicadas incessantly. Wanyan Oben and others all lost their voices, except for Wanyan Wushu, whose expression remained unchanged.
"What should I say?" After a while, Han Fang couldn't bear it anymore. "Didn't Mr. Qin say that the information in the newspaper was uncertain whether it was true or false?"
"What is true or false depends on the content, but whether it is true or false, it shows that Zhao Guan's family has made a posture both internally and externally... Why did he do those things? Isn't it to intimidate you and me? Or is it to cheer up his family?
?”
"Since it's a threat..."
"Mr. Han did not understand what I meant... This matter has nothing to do with whether he is intimidating or showing weakness, nor does it matter whether the content of the Di report is true or false. The key is that this Zhao Guan family has not behaved in any way since Huaishang, the first year of Jianyan."
Don't hesitate for a moment!" Qin Hui suddenly raised his voice in response, startling all the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom in the hall. "Huai Shang blocked Bagong Mountain and rejected the fourth prince in order to survive! Nanyang escaped, Yan Ling captured the army, and defeated King Lu (End)
Yan Talan), in order to gain a foothold! The decisive battle at Yaoshan, personally welcoming the King of Yue (Wanyan Loushi), was to fight for luck! The overthrow of Xixia, the concubine Liao Meng, was to seize power... step by step, layer by layer, regardless of
We don’t know what he thinks in his heart. We can only say that this person has ever hesitated even a little bit when things have come to a close?! Have he ever dared not take a gamble?! Have he ever made a fool of himself without actually doing anything?!
"
The whole hall was silent, and even the cicadas outside the hall seemed to be frightened. Only Qin Hui kept shouting:
"If you calculate carefully, it has been three years since the last war in Xixia, and it has been more than eight years since this person ascended the throne. If we measure the war between the Song and the two armies, it will be a full ten years... Everyone, this is Di
The content in the newspaper can no longer be believed. In three years, did he also expand his army and save food? Did he finally go to the south to pacify the southeast for a whole year? Did he accumulate eight years of achievements and ten years of shame?
Then we are just waiting for the Northern Expedition? If we are only waiting for the Northern Expedition, then we should ask him why he didn't come to attack, instead of asking why he came to attack?! I dare to ask you, he has gathered troops and horses, and the rear has been determined, why on earth didn't he come?
Coming to cut down?"
At this point, Qin Huizhi looked serious, looked around at everyone, and came to a conclusion: "Xiaguan, there are only two of us here, so I will stake our lives on this to make a conclusion... This Zhao Song official family is just making false threats.
, that’s just false threats for the purpose of crossing the river and heading north!”
"If there is an attack, when will it be?" After a while, the fourth prince, King Wushu of Wei, ignored the question and broke the silence.
"Maybe it will come tomorrow, maybe after next spring..." Qin Hui was still unambiguous. "But if there are no current events, it should be more after next spring."
"What's the point?" Wu Shu's expression remained unchanged.
"Although the Di newspaper is not trustworthy, there are some things that you have to believe... For example, the decision to fill the quota of 300,000 soldiers in the southern imperial camp was only made in the first half of this year, so if it is to be accomplished, it must be at least late autumn and early winter; another example is
Only by transferring this year's autumn grain into the warehouse during the winter will everyone feel at ease." Qin Hui answered fluently. "It is impossible for Zhao and Song Dynasty to hide these two things, and there is no need to hide them."
"That's true...but why didn't the troops be sent out in the winter after entering the warehouse at full strength, but in the spring?" Wanyan Oben, the king of Liao who was sitting at the top, frowned.
"The most important thing is the Yellow River." Without waiting for Qin Hui to speak, Wu Shu explained directly. "The Yellow River has two ancient routes, with four branches going deep into Hebei Province. Daming Prefecture is sandwiched by two ancient routes. If the Song Army wanted to devote all its efforts to the Northern Expedition,
It is impossible to give up the water advantage, and the Yellow River generally has two dry periods, which prevents large ships from entering the old Yellow River... One is midsummer, and there is often little rain in the upper reaches, but whether it will dry up depends on luck; and the other naturally
It is the middle of winter, not only because of the depth of the water, but also because of the ice. In addition, the spring plowing in the south is earlier than that of the northern expedition. They will come after spring, so there is a time difference."
Since Wu Shu spoke, everyone couldn't help but take a look at the King of Wei... It was obvious that the fourth prince actually had mature thoughts and opinions on this matter, and he agreed with Qin Hui.
And if this is the case, it will be even more convincing to those present.
In fact, Wanyan Onben, who had no military experience in the South, immediately came to his senses after hearing this, and then made a brief summary:
"In this way, the Northern Expedition of Zhao and Song Dynasties is inevitable, but unless something big happens, there is a chance that they will come again after the spring plowing next year? The current wave of reports are more of false threats, okay?
Overwhelm us?"
"But we have to be careful." Talan expressed his position again, but he said nonsense. "If there is a big oversight, with the Zhao Guan family in the south, he will definitely cross the river directly without hesitation..."
Wanyan Oben nodded: "But you can't be over-scheduled. Everything must be done with a certain degree of control. The third child goes to Zhending Mansion, which is enough to control Taiyuan, Xijing (Datong), Daming Mansion, and Longde Mansion.
Coordination... The key is that we are here in Yanjing and must make all preparations. When we need to collect food and grass, we must collect food and grass, gather troops and horses, gather leaders, and count ordnance."
"We must prepare the roster in advance and be prepared to mobilize the signing army at any time... half as a supplementary sergeant and half as a civilian." Wanyan Xiyin sighed and also made suggestions.
"There are also the Mongols and the Koreans." Ulin Dazanmo finally spoke. "We can't reach the Mongolians, and the Khitans hate us to the core, so don't think too much about it. As for the Koreans, the ruler of the country is in charge there.
Also, how good is the Prime Minister Kim Fu-sik? I think they will never make decisions on their own until the outcome is decided... The biggest variable is Hebul Khan in Eastern Mongolia."
Because Nanfangdi newspaper changed it to Mongolia, the Jurchens also called it Mongolia.
"Then send another envoy over." Wanyan Onben thought for a while, then held his chin and spoke decisively. "Show sincerity, and I can grant him gold, silver, wealth, and silk. Not to mention the King of Eastern Mongolia, he is the king of Khans in the entire Mongolia.
He can also be given a position! Even some tribes and villages on the border can be given to him! At critical moments, you have to distinguish the priorities!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Shu, Xi Yin, Qin Hui, Han Fang, Hong Ya, Ta Lan, Yin Shu Ke, Wu Ye, plus Wu Linda brothers, including the Pu family slaves, almost everyone present nodded.
"I think the key to this battle is the New Army." Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually calming down and his brother's opinions were being supported, Wu Lin Taiyu also spoke up at the right time. He is the right deputy commander of the New Army in Yanjing. "The New Army.
Here, the local people in Yanjing are still very enthusiastic, but the soldiers from outside the customs have not arrived... so what should we do?"
"The King of Liao just said that he would have a special meeting with the tribal leaders outside the Guan." Wanyan Xiyin interrupted and scolded. "Lian Hebu Le will have to spend a lot of money, let alone my own family?"
"Regarding this matter, would it be better to send people out of the customs?" Ulin replied, Zanmo asked before his brother wanted to say anything else. "It would be faster."
"But who will go?" Xi Yin still frowned. "The leaders outside the pass are not trivial, and they must be truly ruling kings. Now the King of Jin (Yu Liduo) has gone to Zhending Mansion to take charge of the south; in case of the Song Dynasty, In case of a sudden attack, the King of Wei (Wushu) will immediately go south to separate the left and right sides with the King of Jin; His Royal Highness the King of Liao will even take control of Yanjing..."
"So what if we let the king go?" Qin Hui suddenly interrupted Xi Yin. "The king is seventeen years old. Last year, he visited the outside of the pass and dealt with Puluhu's rebellion. If the king comes in person, the tribe outside the pass will You must be rejoicing!"
Xiyin was startled for a moment, and immediately looked at Wanyan Oben, which seemed to agree with Qin Hui, but Oben was obviously hesitant... because there was no doubt that there were political risks in doing so.
But at this moment, Wanyan Yinshuke, who had been silent until now, was slightly moved in his heart and couldn't help but speak: "It's for the sake of the new army, and the three kings cannot leave the prison for a moment, so why should I, the commander of the new army, escort the country?" Lord, take a trip?"
Wanyan Pu's slave heard this and immediately responded: "I am also willing to escort the king out of the customs. For the tribes outside the customs, I, the Pu's slave, still have some face."
Everyone looked at each other, knowing of course that these two people were unwilling to be left alone and wanted to burn the king's stove. They even wanted to use this gathering of new troops to recruit new soldiers. But at the same time, everyone had to admit that at this time, let the king It was the best choice to go outside the customs to unite the tribes in Liaodong. These two people accompanied the leader of the country to go out of the customs and asked the tribes to send troops to Yanjing in time. It was considered that these two people were exerting their remaining heat for the overall situation.
And sure enough, after leaning for a moment, and after looking at each other with his fourth brother Wu Shu, the eldest prince finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "In that case, you two must take good care of the king... But it's Bachelor Han who needs your help here in Yanjing. , but can no longer accompany the king out of seclusion."
Yin Shuke and Pu Jianu were secretly happy for a moment, and immediately bowed their heads as if to obey their orders. Han Fang hesitated for a moment, and then bowed in the seat along with the first two... He knew what Oben meant. Once Zhao Song went to the north, It was a battle to overthrow the country. The Kingdom of Jin not only needed the power of Liaodong, but also the power of the Yanyun Han people. The Han family was the most influential representative of the Yanyun Han people at the top of the Jin Kingdom. Of course, we could not easily defeat them at this time. Leave Yanjing.
Seeing the frankness of the two princes and the pragmatism of the meeting, Wu Lin Da Taiyu, who had been blocked by his brother before, finally couldn't hold back: "The New Army here is not only short of soldiers, the key is that most of them are new soldiers who have never seen a battle formation. …”
"How can we let them see the battle formation in such a hurry?" After answering many things, Auben finally seemed impatient. "Even the newly recruited soldiers in the imperial camp of the Song Dynasty have never seen the battle formation, haven't they? Everyone has to fight to see blood."
"What I want to say is that we can dispatch some more veteran soldiers from the east and west routes and exchange them?" Wu Lin Tai wanted to explain quickly. "For example, we can dispatch two more veteran soldiers with ten thousand households from Taiyuan and Longde. By the way, Send out two new armies with ten thousand households?"
Ta Lan wanted to agree, but in the end he chose to remain silent and just looked at the two princes and other people present.
Yes, it is exactly the same as Yin Shuke just now. Everyone actually knows that Wu Lin Da Taiyu wants to take the opportunity to expand the strength of the troops he leads, but they have to admit that considering the overall situation, doing so is still good for the possible all-out war.
more.
Therefore, many people in the hall were moved for a moment, and then their eyes gradually focused on Wanyan Ofen who had fallen silent again. During the founding period of the People's Republic of China, Onben, who had always stayed in front of Aguda and rarely led troops independently, immediately looked towards
He attracted his fourth brother Wu Shu, and then attracted others to look at Wu Shu as well.
There is no way, there is really no way, even if Xixia's people are a bit shameful for their bad skills, but now, in terms of closeness and war experience, when Nian Liduo is not here, if you don't listen to this person, you still can't do it.
Who can I listen to? Wanyan Talan?
They actually want to hear about Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Wu begging for money, Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Yibububu, Wanyan Loushi... where are these people?
Wu Shu, who was stared at by everyone, also sighed and nodded after a long while.
Besides, the Fourth Prince is not hesitant about whether this matter is feasible or not, because in his view, as long as it has a positive impact on the outcome of the war, no matter who has any selfish motives, it is acceptable... The key is that it has a positive impact on the overall situation.
Main force.
The reason why he sighed was more because he lamented that Wu Lin's words in Taitai's words revealed a helpless fact, that is, just like in the south where they still had to rely on those commanders and officials for control, even though the Great Jin Kingdom here was undergoing restructuring and reform, there was no way around it.
In addition to those generals of Wanhu and those hereditary men and women, this level of military dispatch must also be carried out from the level of Wanhu.
In fact, the reason why a new Yanjing army was organized and trained was because the restructuring of the East and West armies could not defeat those generals.
Of course, now that things have happened, there is no point in saying this. The Zhao Guan family has already passed the Yellow River, so why do they care so much?
There are cicadas outside the palace, and the meeting inside the palace continues... It can only be said that although the top brass of the Great Jin Kingdom are increasingly declining at this moment, the people who can make the decisions are still the remnants of the founding period, and these people are very concerned about the war.
There are no naive or chaotic ideas.
Once it was determined that the Zhao and Song officials in the south would launch a full-scale war at any time, or even within half a year at the latest, they immediately made political compromises with each other, and without hesitation passed a series of agreements ranging from domestic affairs to diplomacy, from military supplies to soldiers.
Responses.
And execute it immediately after the meeting.
Compared with the united efforts here in Yanjing, on the south side of the Yellow River, the official family of Zhao and Song, who were treated as if they were facing a formidable enemy, were not as comfortable as they imagined these days, and they did not see the domineering power that was reported in the newspapers to whip the world.
In fact, troubles continued after Zhao Guan's home returned to Tokyo.
The problem still lies with military preparations and Lu Yihao.
Among them, there is no need to mention military preparations. After all, the south has suffered some losses. It is always a troublesome thing to complete the army deployment. And Lu Xianggong has been in Tokyo for half a month, and it has caused chaos in the court hall.
, there is no way to compare with the determination to unite as one and fight against the Zhao Guan family in the north.
On the one hand, this husband's temper really made everyone feel uncomfortable. Not only did Zhang Jun suddenly find that he couldn't make the decision in everything, it was also uncomfortable to save everyone.
On the other hand, of course I can't bear to go up and down the uncomfortable situation, especially since Zhao Guan's family hasn't been back for a year. When I come back, I will bring one Lu Yihao plus a hundred spares. Who dares to relax? Besides, Lu Yihao is not without tricks...
Not to mention anything else, if you want to be a military governor of the German Army, do you want what the officials give you?
As a result, the bullets and articles were intertwined, and they kept coming, but they didn't go to the newspaper.
Of course, why did Lu Xianggong fear this? Besides, he asked himself that he had no regrets. Could it be that he could really rebel after taking over this Jiedushi? Therefore, whoever impeached him would certainly be a villain who selfishly brought trouble to the imperial court, and then
Anyone who wears shoes that day will have to wear shoes.
The officials who couldn't give him the shoes would scold and refute him in front of Zhao Guan's family and all the prime ministers!
On September 1st, Zhao Guan's family took Lu Yihao out to inspect the river defense. It was not so much that Dayu passed through the house without entering, but rather that he ran away with his head in his arms.
After all, just as Qin Hui and Qin Xianggong judged, it would take time for the imperial camp here in Zhao Jiu to make final preparations, and it would also take time to put the autumn grain into storage and then transport it to the warehouses along the Yellow River, so Wang Yan's military plan had already been arranged.
It is clear that unless a huge unexpected event occurs, the formal Northern Expedition will be launched after the ice melts and the water rises after spring.
And the current actions and propaganda are indeed intimidating the opponent and using them as a strategy to tire them out.
All in all, in the post-autumn period, both sides were making large-scale military deployments and preparations. Although small groups were fighting everywhere, the Yellow River had not yet entered the dry season, and the presence of the imperial navy allowed the Song Army to always take the strategic initiative.
However, there has never been any major incident that suddenly got out of control.
September 13th, it has been thirteen days since the Zhao Guan family left the capital again, and more than ten days have passed since the meeting at the Shangshutai of the Kingdom of Jin... In the early morning, in Enzhou, Hebei, on the old path of the Yellow River, a group of elite Jurchen cavalry hurriedly left.
A ford passed through, and the horses' hooves splashed countless water, making these elite Jurchen knights covered in water.
However, after boarding the east bank, no one paid attention to the water stains on their bodies, but they just kept escorting a middle-aged Jurchen nobleman in his forties with a sallow complexion towards Qinghe City a few miles away.
When we arrived at the gate of Qinghe City, it was already dawn. A group of knights galloped to clear the way, whipped open the gates, and the soldiers poured directly into the city, and then went straight to the county government office. They were surprised to learn that the county government had rushed out to greet him, and then personally took the government servants to the place where Wu Dalang was cooking cakes in the county.
They brought all the freshly cooked cakes from the family and offered them to the Jurchen nobles.
Wu Dalang's family's cooking cakes are famous in Hebei, and the quality goes without saying. However, when this group of people saw so many hot cooking cakes, they did not wait any longer. Instead, they divided and packed the cooking cakes and filled them with purified water.
, and left in a hurry.
At this time, people in the county knew that the one who had just arrived was the Jin King of the Kingdom of Jin, the so-called Generalissimo Wanyan Youliduo, commonly known as the Third Prince. Just because Zhao Guan's Long Wei arrived in Yanggu opposite Liaocheng, the Generalissimo did not dare to
He was so lazy that he immediately came from Zhending Mansion in person, intending to go to Daming Mansion to take up command in order to confront Zhao Guan's family.
Not to mention that this news made people in the county panic, and they were talking about it. Even Wu Dalang's family did not dare to ask for money for cooking cakes. It was just that after Yan Liduo traveled all night, he had cooked cakes on the horse for breakfast, so that
He kept galloping throughout the whole journey, obviously wanting to reach Daming Mansion within today.
As a result, there was retribution for such abuse of the body - four large cakes were mixed with cold water, and Yinliduo felt some cramping in her abdomen.
At this time, the third prince did not pay attention. He immediately ate. It was so bumpy and cold the whole way. This kind of thing was normal. It was not like he had not experienced it before, let alone being tired after a night. Besides, the military situation was urgent. Where could it be?
Can you take a break for this?
However, after beating the horse and walking for several miles, the cramping pain in the abdomen still continued, and gradually concentrated in the lower part of the right abdomen. At this time, Yinliduo could no longer bear it, so he gave the order to slow down. But the beating of the horse was slow,
After walking for a while, many of the cavalrymen who had also eaten hastily and suffered from abdominal pain were relieved. However, the third prince still felt that his abdomen was heavy. When he pressed it with his hand, he could clearly feel the pain.
At this time, Yinliduo finally did not dare to leave, and immediately made it clear to the attendants, and the attendants naturally knew that this was a sudden illness, and then panicked... You know, as mentioned before, since Aguda, many Jurchen nobles are in their prime.
However, it is true that the foundation is not good, there are too many examples... not to mention the sudden illness itself is very scary these days.
Therefore, the Jurchen cavalry did not dare to let Nianli Duo stay on the horse anymore. Instead, they directly made a hammock between the two horses and escorted their third prince to the nearest town, which was called Ninghua Town.
Find the largest house in the town, rush in, blow away the people, and then settle down on the spot.
At the same time, three teams of cavalry were divided. One team was looking for a doctor on the spot in the town, one team was looking for a medicine shop and a hospital in Qinghe County behind them, and the other team was heading directly to Daming Mansion to march with Daming Mansion.
The meaning of getting in touch with Si Dutong Gao Jingshan.
However, in Ninghua Town, these Jurchen cavalry turned over the entire street and killed seven or eight people, but they could not find a doctor. When asked one by one, they all said that there was originally a master of internal medicine who later fled to the Yue Family Army opposite.
Become a military doctor.
Even though the Jurchen cavalry can kill people, there is nothing they can do at this time.
At the same time, the third prince's symptoms became more and more obvious... First he felt a slight sweat and a slight fever, then he felt a heavy abdomen and frequent urination. The leader of the personal guards pressed it with his own hands, and the softness and hardness of the left and right abdomens were obviously different.
At this time, the third prince himself and the knowledgeable people among the personal guards basically all guessed that it was probably because he ate the cakes too quickly in the morning and developed intestinal carbuncle!
I also felt helpless and nervous.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the official Ximen who opened a drug store in Qinghe County was arrested together with three of his own doctors. The diagnosis results were all intestinal carbuncle... and it was probably an acute bad carbuncle, that is, the severity of the bumps.
, the kind caused by something entering the vermis (appendix).
After understanding what was going on, the doctors also arrived. The third prince himself and several guards relaxed a little, and then calmed down to use the decoction, which is rhubarb and peony decoction... This point has a little medical common sense.
Everyone knew it, and some of the guards also knew it, and the local officials from Qinghe who came with him also said so... Of course, the third prince had nothing to say.
So, the guard watched the medicine being taken with his own eyes, made the rhubarb and peony soup by himself, and helped the third prince drink a dose. Sure enough, he felt better for a while, and it was said that the pain was relieved.
In the evening, people from Daming Mansion finally came. They saw that although the third prince had a fever, his pain was gradually subsided, he had spoken some words in person, and he was awake, so he relaxed a little.
At this time, the third prince took another dose of decoction, and the pain seemed to be lessened. He finally cheered up and ordered some gold to be rewarded to the high official from Ximen who came to take pulse again.
Let’s say that at this time, Ximen, a senior official from a well-educated family, wanted to tell these people that if their stomach doesn’t hurt, it may not be getting better, but it is probably going to suppurate. If you have a surgical expert, you should prepare for an injection...
However, holding gold in his hands and thinking about the bloodstains on the streets of Ninghua Town during the day, how could he dare to speak proactively?
Besides, how can it be so easy to perform an operation these days?
It’s also a gamble!
And once he opened his mouth, he couldn't find a doctor in a hurry. It must have been him, the high official Ximen, and a few doctors who were sitting in the hospital to perform surgery and acupuncture... But they were sitting in the medicine shop, and they weren't good at surgery either?
So, that night, the senior officials of Ximen thought about it and felt that they could not stay here to wait for death, so they did not discuss it with several doctors sitting in the hall, but carried the gold on their backs and took advantage of the night to pay attention to the situation.
Those attendants took advantage of the opportunity for the Third Prince to "get better" and relax, so they secretly climbed over the wall and went out... Then they didn't even return home. They just ran to the Yongji Canal with the gold on their backs, found a boat, and then fled all the way to the northeast.
Early the next morning, the third prince's pain improved even more. When he took the decoction again, he was surprised to find that the high-ranking official from Ximen had escaped. He quickly called the three doctors sitting in the hall to jointly diagnose his pulse... At this time, the three doctors looked at each other in confusion.
Knowing the reason, they all spoke frankly, saying that the third prince's pulse was urgent and his abdomen was hard, and he was afraid that his intestines were suppurating.
It is recommended to use a knife and needle.
The Jurchens were stunned, but it was true that the high-ranking officials from Ximen had escaped, and they had to believe it, so they called the three men to use swords, but they said they didn't know how to do it.
How could the Jurchens believe them? I asked them several times, but they all said no, so they beheaded them all.
As a result, in the afternoon, the third prince's intestinal carbuncle gradually became as hard as iron, and the pain became unbearable. In a hurry, he couldn't find a doctor, so he had to take rhubarb and peony soup. As a result, it didn't relieve it at all, and he couldn't even go to the toilet.
painfully.
I went to ask the more and more local officials, surrounding generals, and experienced people who had gathered together at this time, and they all said that it was time to take action... So I went to find the doctor again, but unexpectedly the news had already spread, and people around
All the doctors had lost their money and fled... In the end, I had no choice but to find a Khitan doctor from the army and let him administer the needle.
The Khitan doctor was also innocent. He obviously only knew how to dance the magic and use herbal medicines, but now he was asked to use needles, otherwise he would die. So what else could he do? He was so wild that he called out "Green Bull and White Horse" and then directly injected the needle.
Insert it into the hard part of the Third Prince's right abdomen.
As a result, a foul-smelling thick juice flowed out through the flesh and blood on the spot, and the third prince's complexion softened slightly.
Everyone thought that the third prince had been saved, but unexpectedly, that night, His Highness King Jin first had a fever, and then started to shiver again in the second half of the night... He looked bad, but there was nothing he could do except boil rhubarb and peony soup.
And at dawn, which was the third day after the third prince suffered from carbuncle, when Gao Jingshan arrived in person with a good doctor from Daming Palace, he found that the third prince's face was flushed due to fever, he was no longer conscious, and he was even talking nonsense.
The thick water in the abdomen was still gushing out intermittently, along with the surrounding wounds, which were black and red and swollen like a meatloaf.
I finally woke up for a moment, but I just cried out that I was cold. I reached out and touched my forehead, but my forehead was hot.
Gao Jingshan privately inquired several good doctors from the Daming Palace who he had brought. They were silent for a long time. After all, it was the veteran Wanhu. The current head of the Bohai clan, who was used to seeing storms, kept calm while thinking about what was about to come.
It was windy and rainy, so I went directly to write a memorandum of apology to Yanjing.
In the evening, after finishing writing the memorial, the third prince had another seizure. His teeth were chattering, his whole body was hot, and the stench was overwhelming. However, he finally died in Qinghe County without waiting for the full moon to rise on September 15th.
He died at the age of forty.
Poor the third prince, he actually lived a few months longer than in history. If he really had a spirit in heaven, he might have wished he had died with Wu Qimai half a year earlier.
"Who is dead? Say it again, who is dead?"
On September 18th, on the south bank of the Yellow River, in the Wushan camp of the imperial camp opposite Liaocheng, facing the son of the magistrate of Liaocheng of the Jin Kingdom who had fled overnight, Zhao Jiu was dumbfounded, as if he had been struck by lightning, and then suddenly woke up. "You should be honest."
Am I Cao Mengde?! Are you here to be Kanze?! What benefits have the Jurchens given to you and your son who have forgotten their ancestors?!"
