Qian Song

Chapter 155 Conferring the King (Ask for a monthly ticket!)
...

To accept the canonization of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, you don't need the title of Emperor Maode, and you can even don't want the title of Emperor Ji, Sui Coin, Jianguo and King.

If this is the case, then the faces of the Zhao Song Dynasty and Zhao Ji will be preserved, and even Zhao Ji and the others can claim that this is the rule of Jisi.

The so-called Jimi rule means win over and control, which was a ruling policy adopted by the central dynasty on minority areas during the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The most typical example of Jimi rule is that after the establishment of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Xiazhou Jiedu envoy Li Yiyin immediately became a vassal, and the Zhao Song Dynasty continued to implement the Jimi rule passed down from the Tang Dynasty.

Don't think that Jimi rule is not a good policy. This policy is actually very important for consolidating the regimes of the Li, Tang and Zhao Song dynasties and stabilizing social order. This is also a very clever policy in the Tang and Song dynasties.

Moreover, not all the areas ruled by Jimi have failed like the Li family in Xiazhou. There are many successful examples.

For example, the Yang family in Linzhou, the Zhe family in Fuzhou, and the Wang family in Fengzhou. The Song Dynasty also implemented Jimi rule over these three families.

As a result, several well-known generals from the Yang family in Linzhou (i.e. the generals of the Yang family) and the famous Wang family from Fengzhou were even wiped out by the Zhao and Song Dynasties in the end. Guarded the frontier for the Han people and blocked Khitan for more than 200 years, and blocked Xixia for the Zhao and Song Dynasties for more than 100 years.

In fact, the Li Tang Dynasty had a vast territory, and there were many Jimi states under its name.

In fact, there were quite a few Jimi prefectures in the Song Dynasty, not to mention Lin, Fu, and Feng prefectures. In the south, especially in the remote minority areas in the southwest, the Zhao Song Dynasty actually had a large number of Jimi prefectures, and they were even connected into one piece.

The key point is that Li Cun is about to separate himself from the throne and proclaim himself emperor. In the end, he was able to talk about the rule of Juli. Then Zhao Ji's face can be said to be almost completely saved, and he can easily explain it to his subjects.

And if Tong Guan can negotiate like this, maybe Tong Guan's official career will still have a glimmer of life.

But then again, Li Cun saved his own independence to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, the actual old coins, as well as the imperial concubine and honor, so what Li Cun wanted must not be so satisfying.

In this regard, Tong Guan still has a relatively clear understanding.

Therefore, Tong Guan was not as happy as the people he brought, but asked cautiously: "I don't know what the governor wants?"

Li Cun didn't give a damn, and said bluntly: "The first condition is that I want Zhu Xi to live."

Tong Guan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Cun wanted Zhu Xi, and felt that he had not misjudged Li Cun before, and that Li Cun was really difficult to deal with.

He let out a sigh of relief, needless to say, Li Cun only needs one person, which is really easy to handle.

But the problem is that Zhu Xi is Zhao Ji's confidant, he helped Zhao Ji search for Hua Shi Gang, and he is considered to have made great contributions to Zhao Ji.

Among other things, if Li Cun wants Zhu Xi today, if you Zhao Ji give it, then another day Li Cun wants Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, and even Tong Guan, will you Zhao Ji give it or not?

If you give it, what do you think of these people who have made great contributions to you, Zhao Ji?Who would dare to do things for Zhao Ji in the future?Also, you, Zhao Ji, are an emperor, you can't even keep one of your favorite ministers, what kind of emperor are you?
In addition, Zhu Xi is not just a person.

If Li Cun wanted Zhu Xi to come, he would be hacked into pieces in the city of Hangzhou.

Not to mention that Li Cun must have gathered another wave of prestige, which made the people in the southeast love Li Cun even more.

Just to say, in that way, it will be confirmed that Zhao Ji is playing with things and losing his ambition, forcing the people in the southeast to rebel against the people in the southeast, the emperor lost his morality, Li Cun's crimes against the people are justified, and even the southeast should be separated.

Therefore, Zhu Xi is no longer just a simple object of venting for the people in the southeast, but an ironclad proof of Zhao Ji's failure of morality!
If he doesn't give it, then Li Cun insists on proclaiming himself emperor and accepting Zhao Fujin as a concubine. With Zhao Song's current situation, can he stop it?

To put it bluntly, Li Cun proclaimed himself emperor in Hangzhou. Don't you Zhao Song Dynasty have to watch helplessly now?
And if Li Cun were to encircle Bianliang City in Tokyo, at that time, not to mention Li Cun wanting Zhao Fujin, but Li Cun wanting all the concubines and concubines of Zhao Ji, would Zhao Ji dare not give them?
Tong Guan felt that Li Cun was ruthless and accurate when he wanted Zhu Mian.

The key point is that Li Cun has a reason for wanting Zhu Xi. Who told you Zhu Xi to do a lot of evil here in the southeast by collecting flowers and stones for Zhao Ji? I, Li Cun, should seek justice for my people, shouldn't I?

Tong Guan was definitely not the one who had a headache about this matter. Even if Zhao Ji handed Zhu Xi over to Li Cun in the end, Tong Guan would be disappointed at most and would not have too much psychological burden.

Therefore, Tong Guan quickly decided to let Zhao Ji worry about this condition by himself, and he continued to ask: "Then what is the second condition of the governor?"

As soon as Li Cun stretched out his hand, Chen Kuutong immediately sent Li Cun a thick roster.

Li Cun pushed the roster in front of Tong Guan, and said, "Within three months, I want all the family members here, not one less."

Tong Guan picked up the roster and opened it, and then saw a name he was very familiar with——Wang Yuan.

After flipping through, Tong Guan came across a few more familiar names.

Tong Guan quickly realized that these were the soldiers of the Song Army—the soldiers of the Song Army who surrendered to Li Cun. Li Cun was asking for their families to relieve their worries!

What surprised Tong Guan was that, judging by the thickness of the roster, there might be as many as [-] to [-], or even more: "Have all the captured soldiers voted for Li Cun? I have no loyal men in Song Dynasty?"

Tong Guan was really wrong. The list Li Cun gave Tong Guan was a list of all the soldiers of the Song Army who were captured by Li Cun, including those who voted for Li Cun and those who had not yet voted for Li Cun.

Needless to say, those soldiers of the Song Army who voted for Li Cun, Li Cun is of course obliged to take their families over, let them reunite with their families, and reassure them.

Just talking about those soldiers of the Song Army who have not yet voted for Li Cun, Li Cun must also take over their families.

In this way, those soldiers of the Song army who have not voted for Li Cun will not dare to vote for Li Cun in the future because their family members are still with Zhao Song. Moreover, since Li Cun has their family members in his hands, it should be easier for them to vote for Li Cun. It is right to vote for Li Cun.

Taking a step back, even if the family members of the Song Army soldiers who have not yet voted for Li Cun are brought in, it does not matter if they still do not vote for Li Cun. Anyway, the western Zhejiang area and parts of Jiangnan West Road have just been baptized by the flames of war. , There is a serious shortage of people, let them act as the population.

Besides, Li Cun just moved his mouth, how troublesome would it be to send someone to receive it at that time?The real trouble was the Zhao Song Dynasty. They had to find the man and send him to Li Cun with his beard and tail.In this case, of course Li Cun asked for as much as he could.

Li Cun's second condition is nothing to say. It is nothing more than seeing that the southern soldiers under him are not good at land warfare and have insufficient combat experience.

Anyone can understand this, and although this matter is a bit troublesome, it is not difficult to handle.

So it mainly depends on how Zhao Ji and his ministers choose.

Early the next morning, Li Cun ordered Zhang Shi, Chen Kuutong, Hu Shi and others to send Tong Guan and his party away for him.

As soon as Tong Guan and his party left, Li Cun gave the order to send troops on the back.

Many people didn't understand Li Cun's order. Didn't Li Cun and Tong Guan have already talked about it, why are they still fighting?

Li Cun didn't make a fool of himself. He told his civil and military ministers bluntly: what can't be obtained on the battlefield is also difficult to obtain on the negotiating table. At that time, it was difficult for the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty to make up their minds to give them all to themselves. On the contrary, if the land of the six states was in their own hands, it would be much easier for the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty to make this determination.

Li Cun sent troops this time, including civilian husbands. Not only did he bring an army of 50 million, but he also made every step of the way. He never gave the Song army on the western front a chance to attack him, lest the duck that got his mouth fly again.

When Li Cunmo led the 50 million troops past Jiande and came back to report, the Song army had completely withdrawn from Muzhou.

At this time, the corpses of Fang La, Fang La's family and Fang La's trilogy that Li Cuntuo Tong Guan had asked for from the Zhao Song court were also brought back.

Li Cun ordered people to find a place with good Fengshui in Qixian Village to build a group of tombs for these dozens of people, and buried them in a beautiful manner.

Fang La's tomb list was written by Li Cun himself:
Qingxi Fangla has a forthright personality and doesn't stick to trifles.During the Xuanhe period of the Song Dynasty, powerful officials and rich surnames occupied unlimited land. The wealth of the rich spread all over the state, while the poor had no place to live in. Harsh government and heavy taxes were imposed. , public and private debts, scrambling and competing, the grain has not left the field, the silk has not been disembarked, it is no longer my own, I work hard, my wife is cold and starved, I can’t use my life as a slave to pay, and the creditor takes the land and women, the poor dare not have more children Tearful drowning of infants is horrific, and there are many people whose families have been destroyed.Fang La's high righteousness led the crowd to rise up to punish corrupt officials and kill dirty officials. In a few months, he captured more than a hundred prefectures and counties. The rebel army has severely injured the official army, and the heroes are also.It's a pity that I was betrayed by a villain and captured in Bangyuan Cave. It's a pity that the major event has not been accomplished.

Later, Li Cun went to Fang La's mausoleum in person and paid homage to Fang La.

Li Cun knew that if he was the one who was defeated and captured, his fate might not be as good as that of Fang La. After all, Fang La still had himself to give him a grand burial. Only the wild corpses are left.

Li Cun looked at Fang La's tombstone and said, "I know you want to be an emperor, but you really don't have this life. You saw your reflection in the water wearing a dragon robe before. You must be dazzled. As for the emperor, there must be no you." But if one day I can become the emperor, I will make you a king, and this is also your reward for helping me rise and sharing my worries."

Li Cun's speaker had no intention, but Fang Qifo, who had been standing not far behind Li Cun as a family member, was interested in the listener.

——Fang Qifo chose to stay in the end, and was not sent away by Li Cun with those staunch Manichaeans.

Fang Qifo looked at Fang La's tomb, then at the tomb list written by Li Cun to Fang La, and then thought of Li Cun's promise to Fang La as king.

Fang Qifo's eyes became firm, and then he came to Li Cun's side, and said: "Great Governor, I have something to tell you at the end."

"What's the matter?" Li Cun asked.

Fang Qifo habitually wanted to put his hands together.

But in the middle of the reunion, Fang Qifo realized that he was no longer a Manicheist, so he put down his hand again, and said at the same time: "Thirteen has a lot of gold, silver and jewels. I wanted to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Song army and use them to recruit soldiers and buy horses." .”

Li Cun said: "I know that my elder brother wrote to me about this matter. He said in the letter that Fang Mo knew the whereabouts of the gold, silver and jewels, and asked me to treat Fang Hao kindly."

Then, Li Cun continued without blushing and heartbeat: "It's a pity that I was fighting the Song army in Suzhou at that time, and I had no time to look after him, and I couldn't save the elder brother's family."

Fang Qifo said: "Not only does Fang Mo know the whereabouts of the gold, silver and jewels, but he may also know the whereabouts of the gold and silver jewels in the end."

Li Cun was a little surprised: "Do so many people know about this kind of thing?"

Fang Qifo saw Li Cun's doubts, and said: "There are a lot of gold, silver and jewels. It is really difficult for the thirteen father and son to carry them by themselves. The general will help them move up the mountain. Although the general will not enter the It’s a cave, but there’s only such a small place there, so send more people and search carefully, and you’ll definitely find it.”

Afterwards, Fang Qifo said to himself: "The general just heard from the governor's promise that if he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, he will make Thirteen king. Thirteen has never owed anyone in his life, and he certainly doesn't want to." I owe it to the governor, therefore, all the gold, silver and jewels of Shisan should be regarded as the merits that Shisan has made for our Huben army, so that the king of Shisan should be tougher."

Hearing this, Li Cun immediately felt that Fang Qifo was a good character, and he was not tempted by such a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

Li Cunxin said: "It's no wonder that Fang La's buried treasures are called Shangshang Seven Buddhas, um...Fang Seven Buddhas should be able to entrust important tasks."

Li Cun didn't care too much and said: "Then you ask Shang Yan Xiaoguang to take a battalion of soldiers to take a look. It's best if you have it, and you don't have to force it if you don't have it."

Li Cunzhen didn't take Fang La's treasures seriously. After all, the Song army had plowed Qingxi for countless times, and Fang La's gold, silver and jewelry might have been taken away by someone.

But what Li Cun didn't expect was that Fang Qifo and Yan Xiaoguang found Fang La's treasures as soon as they went there, and the number was amazing.

Seeing this, Li Cun couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion: "Is this the way you get more help?"

Li Cun didn't stay in Qingxi for too long, so he led his troops into Shezhou.

At this time, the Song army had all withdrawn from the west of Zhejiang, and even a large number of landlord armed forces withdrew from the west of Zhejiang together with the Song army. They were stationed in Jiangzhou and Hongzhou respectively.

Li Cun arranged for people to take over the property and even the female relatives of the landlords and gentry who had run away with the Song army, and persuaded those landlords and gentry who chose to stay to hand over land deeds, debts, grain, war horses, ships, and other strategic materials. The officials of these states and counties were reappointed, and these officials were allowed to restore their homes with work in lieu.

After explaining the trivial matters, Li Cun divided the army into two groups, the left and the right, and marched into Jiangzhou and Hongzhou respectively.

At the same time, the Huben navy also went up the river and came to Jiangzhou.

It gives the impression that Li Cun is preparing to attack Jiangzhou and Hongzhou...
