Qiming 1158

Chapter 901 Can only ask Song Guo to help

In the past, Zhang Zhongyan always felt that the emperor would not want to do things like birds and bows when the world was not unified, which would not be good for him to attack the Southern Song Dynasty in the future.

If he hides the best of his bows now, everyone in the world will know that he is a cunning rabbit and a dead dog, and they will have doubts about him. In the future, his conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty will be greatly hindered.

Those who doubt him will not surrender easily, and will definitely resist to the death, which will bring him huge resistance.

Unless all opponents and doubters are killed...

Has he finished killing it?
Can't kill.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongyan always believed that he was Su Yonglin's ruling bonsai and would be well taken care of, so as to show the world that surrendering Su Yonglin was not a bad thing, but a good thing, and he would definitely have a very happy life.

However, Su Yonglin's sudden and large-scale anti-corruption operation made Zhang Zhongyan dumbfounded. He was very worried when he heard that a large number of bureaucrats were killed and their homes were raided, and that their families were exiled to Jishi Prefecture to do hard labor.

So much so that when his son Zhang Fu quietly came to Chang'an City to meet him, he expressed unprecedented anxiety.

"The emperor doesn't know why, but at this time, he started killing a lot, and there are signs of killing the donkey. This is very unfavorable for us, not to mention corruption or something, this may be for us, the two ministers. Suppression, son, I'm afraid I have to prepare with both hands."

Zhang Zhongyan frowned and sighed: "Why does the emperor have to kill the donkey at this time? I can't figure it out, the Song kingdom in the south is still there, the Xia kingdom has not been completely annexed, and there are hostile forces on the grassland, so he is so confident. ?

What good would it be for him to get rid of me?Why does he need to do this?What is his motive?Why can't I understand it?It shouldn't be! "

What Zhang Zhongyan can't figure out, Zhang Fu can't figure out even more, but he is more pragmatic than Zhang Zhongyan.

"Father, don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Now let's think about how we should stay behind! If the emperor is crazy, sick, or destroys us all, we can still have a way back, right? ?"

"What do you want?"

Zhang Zhongyan looked at Zhang Fu.

"There is no other way but to ask Song Guo to help."

Zhang Fu said in a low voice: "Guanzhong borders Chuan and Shu, and the land of Chuan and Shu is guarded by Song general Wu Lin. Wu Lin withstood the onslaught of the advancing army when the Jin army was strong. It can be seen that Wu Lin is good at using troops. You can give him two options.

First, if he is willing to send troops, we can instigate at least five states to surrender to them, and they can get the help of five states without a fight.

The second is that they didn't have the courage to attack Guanzhong and did not dare to confront Su Yonglin head-on. There was nothing we could do, and we had no choice but to flee to the past, but we had to ask them to protect us and escape to Songjing. "

"The first option is quite risky for the Song Kingdom, and I don't know what kind of temperament their new emperor is, whether he dares to take risks, if he doesn't dare... I feel that there is a high possibility that he will not dare. "

Zhang Zhongyan looked at Zhang Fudao: "Those things must be thought through and understood, and we must not go wrong. If we go wrong, we are really doomed."

Zhang Fu thought about it.

"Anyway, you are the Grand Commander of the Ming Kingdom, and I am also an official. Even if they dare not come to Guanzhong, we will go to the Song Kingdom. How big is that? If the Song Kingdom can make use of it, it will be a great benefit to them. We can also take a lot of people and go to the Song Kingdom together, the big deal is to give Wu Lin a little money to help the army."

"Song Guocai was defeated by the Ming army, do they still dare to do the right thing with the Ming country?"

Zhang Zhongyan said worriedly: "The Ming army is tyrannical and rare in the world. Even if the Jin army reappears in the past, it will not be stronger than the current Ming army. Son, I am really worried that the southern country will not accept us and our escape. The road may not be easy.”

Zhang Fu was silent for a while.

"Anyway, let's get in touch first and find out what Wu Lin and Song Ting said. When something really happens here, we have to leave. We also have a plan, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhongyan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

"That's it, pay attention to safety, don't be known."

Zhang Fu nodded and hurried out.

Zhang Zhongyan was left in the room full of emotion.

This An birthday child, it seems that most of them can't be saved.

In the future, even if you can escape to the Southern Song Dynasty, what kind of things will you encounter?

Zhang Zhongyan knew nothing about it.

Zhang Zhongyan is getting older, and he doesn't care so much about some things.

But Zhang Fu feels that his life has just begun, and there are too many things to be concerned about. He feels that the peak of his life has not yet come, and he still has great hope to reach a high position.

He didn't want to be killed by Su Yonglin so casually.

So he quickly arranged for a man he trusted to enter the land of Chuanshu in the Southern Song Dynasty in the name of a caravan, and went to Wu Lin, a general of Chuanshu, to seek help and the possibility of cooperation.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the trade with the Southern Song Dynasty has never stopped, that is to say, there was a period of suspension during the first Ming-Song War, but with the victory of the Ming army and the signing of the Lin'an Treaty, the border trade between the two sides began again. .

This is going on and on, but it can't hinder everyone from doing business and making money.

Moreover, Su Yonglin also paid special attention to protecting the commodity economy of the Ming Kingdom. Taking into account the commercial advantages of the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming Kingdom, he asked the Song Kingdom to accept his unilateral MFN treatment in the Lin'an Treaty.

That is to say, the goods sold in the Ming Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty enjoyed the highest level of preferential treatment when they passed the customs, and a small toll was paid symbolically.

Southern Song officials felt embarrassed at the time, and felt that this was unfair to the commercial interests of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, considering that the Southern Song Dynasty was far more developed in commerce than the Ming Dynasty, the trade between the two sides was more profitable, and the Ming army was outside Lin'an City at that time. If they disagreed, they would fight, and their emperor would be brought back for a sheep-pulling ceremony. 2.0, so I just swallowed my breath and accepted this condition.

Therefore, the current business situation is that trade from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty needs to pay commodity tariffs, depending on the size and value of the goods, there are different tariff amounts, while trade from the Ming Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty does not need to pay tariffs.

Su Yonglin's move has well protected the business of the Ming Kingdom. It did not allow the Southern Song Dynasty commodities to drive straight into the uninhabited territory in some markets, and protected the development of the local business of the Ming Kingdom.

In contrast, this policy also inspired the enthusiasm of Ming merchants to go to the Southern Song Dynasty to sell Ming products. This is how the Guanzhong area maintained long-term trade relations with the Sichuan and Shu areas.

Therefore, regardless of the fact that the armies of the two sides are wary of each other on the military important ground, the caravans of the two sides are really coming and going on the Shu Road in an endless stream.

So it's not a big deal for Zhang Fu to have someone send a letter to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Soon, the letter was delivered to Wu Lin.

To be honest, if Wu Lin had received this letter a year ago, Wu Lin would have been very happy. He would have thought that this was a good opportunity, which would help strengthen his own forces and attack the power of the Ming Kingdom in Guanzhong. There are opportunities for counterattacks.

However, after the first Ming-Song War, the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated and suffered heavy losses. An entire theater was destroyed by the Ming army, and in a short period of time, it was no longer able to compete with the Ming army.

The spirit of the Southern Song Dynasty was also completely defeated by the Ming Kingdom. Although the new emperor tried to cheer up, on the whole, there were many people who were afraid and cowardly, and few who dared to continue to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the Chuanshu theater where Wu Lin was located was the location of the most powerful army in the Southern Song Dynasty after Yue Fei's death.

Therefore, Wu Lin was very confident in himself, but he had no confidence in the state of the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

Especially after the signing of the Lin'an Treaty, Zhao Tan's decree to the frontier military generals stated that the current state of the country is chaotic and the state is in danger.

Wu Lin was determined to kill the thief, but was powerless to return to heaven. He could only accept this situation and could not resist further.

And just three days before Wu Lin received this letter, the news that Song Ting had dispatched Yao Zhong's department to Jiangnan West Road to participate in the pacification of bandits was also sent to the Chuanshu Theater.

Only then did Wu Lin know that a group of waste wood on Jiangnan West Road had fought a big defeat, and an army of 6 people was defeated by seven or eight thousand bandit troops, so that Jiangnan West Road collapsed rapidly, and the banditry became bigger. The court had no choice but to dispatch The imperial army and the Sichuan and Shu troops supported Jiangnan West Road.

Wu Lin was very angry about this.

But before being angry for a few days, Zhang Fu's letter arrived.

Wu Lin was even more angry.
