Qian Song

Chapter 194 Don't blame me for being ruthless (ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

Li Cun wants to start a war with Jin Guo!
Smart people see it all.

For example, Li Gang.

For example, Yuwen Huangzhong.

Such as Zhao Ding.

Such as Qin Hui.

For example, Liu Yanzong.

Such as Gao Qingyi.

For example, Song Jiang and Wu Yong, who had just been transferred by Li Cun from Guangnan West Road.

Or other smart people.

It's not hard to guess.

No one would doubt Li Cun's ability to control the situation.

In this way, there will still be a scene where everyone seems to want to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin. It must be that the emperor Li Cun wants to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin.

As for why Li Cun wanted to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin, it might be difficult for others to know except for Li Cun's closest counselors such as Chen Kuutong.

But these smart people are sure that Li Cun would not make such an important decision because Li Cun wanted to avenge the original Liao people, or because Xiao Pu Xiannv knelt and licked Li Cun several times.

There must be a deeper reason for this.

And the emperor's will will definitely not change because of a few words of advice from an outsider, Gao Qingyi.

To make a long story short.

In the end, Li Cun ordered that Gao Qingyi be detained, Wu Xie cut off his nose, and sent back a letter to Wanyan Aguda:

"Northern Liao was destroyed by me. All the six routes of Yan, Yun, Ping, Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Liaoxi in Northern Liao should be owned by me. If the affairs of the two dynasties do not tolerate each other, they will have to fight. However, the crisis is getting worse, and I am even more afraid that the lives will be in vain. This is a good retribution. You and I are fighting against each other to hurt the people. If we choose the two, we can send envoys to discuss. If so , in your dynasty, not only did the country enjoy security for a long time, but it also won two times of happiness and harmony, which is very fortunate for the world. Isn’t it beautiful! There was another Bohai native, Gao Qingyi, who made things difficult for him, and was detained and disciplined by me, and I only wrote a book to explain it, not to announce it."

The smart people guessed it, Li Cun was going to fight Jin Guo.

However, even smart people did not expect that Li Cun would be so tough.

Of the two envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, one was detained, and the other was repatriated with his nose cut, and it was the Jurchens who had their nose cut and repatriated.

The point is, although Li Cun said in his letter that the Kingdom of Jin can send envoys to discuss it if it wants the two countries to coexist peacefully, but after Li Cun has shown his tough attitude, what kind of situation does the Kingdom of Jin have to show? Li Cun sat down to talk about peaceful coexistence with Jin Guo because of the conditions?

First of all, it is definitely impossible for the Jinren to confine Li Cun to the small area of ​​Yanjing that the Jin people are looking forward to.

Li Cun at least wants Yundi Kyushu and Ping Luanying three states. As for Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road and Liaoxi, it may be possible to discuss. After all, if Li Cun wants these three places, it is basically equivalent to the Jurchens. I was called back to my hometown.

Regarding the harsh conditions that Li Cun wanted, is it possible for Wanyan Aguda, who has just risen strongly, to swallow his anger and send envoys to negotiate a treaty of peaceful coexistence between the two countries?

probably not.

If Wanyan Aguda endured this wave, then the Kingdom of Jin would lose its deterrence to all forces at home and abroad, and then there would be endless internal and external troubles.

So Wanyan Aguda probably won't bear it.

The final result is very likely to be as Li Cun said in his letter to Wanyan Aguda, "If the two dynasties do not tolerate each other, they must fight."

After the dynasty was over, Liu Yanzong and Han Fang walked out while thinking about why their new emperor started this war.

Before they left the Long Live Hall, someone came to report that a large number of Yan people had gathered outside the palace, requesting to join the army and go to the battlefield to fight the Jin people.

At this moment, Liu Yanzong finally knew why their new emperor wanted to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin!

"It turns out that His Majesty is playing a big game of chess!"

……

Liu Yanzong guessed right, Li Cun was indeed playing a big game of chess.

This matter has to start with Li Cun's deal with Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian.

Li Cun promised that as long as Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian handed over Juyongguan, Gubeikou and Songting Pass, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian would take away anyone who was willing to go with them, regardless of Fanhan.

Ordinarily, under such circumstances, Li Cun should formulate some popular policies to retain Yan people. After all, population is an important part of a country's strength.

However, not only did Li Cun not promulgate the policy of retaining Yan Min, but he also took the opportunity to promulgate the order of changing the uniform, the order of retaining the head, and the order of changing the Han.

The order to change obedience, as the name suggests, means that all people, regardless of Fan Han, change from left to right.

Left lapel generally refers to the attire of the Fan people outside the Central Plains.

The costumes of the Han people have always maintained the right lapel.

Therefore, the right lapel has become one of the symbols of the Han nationality.

The full name of the order to keep the head is the order to keep the head.

Hu people like to shave their heads.

What the Han people pay attention to is that the body, hair and skin are received by their parents, and they dare not damage them.

So letting these Fan people grow their hair is also a manifestation of their submission to the Han people.

It must be explained that the order to keep the head is really the order to keep the head, that is, only by growing the hair can the head be kept, and those who shave their hair for no reason will really be beheaded by the Daqian court.

Changing the Han order is to change all the characters in Yandi into Chinese characters.

On this point, although Li Cun did not destroy all the characters of the Liao Kingdom in a frenzy, he is also planning to change all the characters that Yan people can see into Chinese characters. The characters of the Liao Kingdom are not allowed to appear again, otherwise they will be severely punished Unforgivable.

Li Cun's three orders immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of original Liao people, especially the Khitan people and Xi people.

It can be said that if Li Cun hadn't opened the door and allowed those who could not accept these laws to leave with Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian a month later, these three laws might have caused large-scale riots.

Today, large-scale riots have not yet occurred, but there are a large number of Khitan and Xi people, including many people of other races, who are preparing to leave with Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian.

——In order to prevent Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian from taking the opportunity to lead the crowd to seize Yanjing, Li Cun did not allow Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian to join forces (the two are still under house arrest by Li Cun). Give people in Yandi a chance to make their own choices.

Judging from the previous situation, if there were no accidents, there should be many people leaving with Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian.

But at this time, Li Cun launched a war against the Kingdom of Jin.

Want to take revenge on the Jurchens who beat you from the north to the south, and from the east to the west, dug up your ancestral graves, and robbed you of your women?
If you want to, you can only stay here. I, Li Cun, will take your revenge and leave with Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian. There may be no chance of revenge.

And if you want to stay and seek revenge from the Jurchens, you have to take the initiative to accept my Li Cun's order to change my obedience, keep my head, and change my Han order.

I, Li Cun, did not force anyone. I just gave those Yuan Liao people who really wanted to seek revenge from the Jurchens a chance, and gave those who were vacillating an excuse to stay.

Of course, my biggest goal, Li Cun, is to turn internal conflicts into external ones, so that people here in Yandi can be united under my rule, Li Cun.

To put it bluntly, I, Li Cun, want to Sinicize Fan people, but I also don’t want to force them to turn against Fan people.

In this way, I, Li Cun, can only find a reason for these fans so that they can compromise.

And for revenge, throughout the ages, how many people have endured what ordinary people can't bear, let alone changing clothes, growing hair and getting used to Chinese characters?
……

Not long ago, the Tata'er tribe, who had just been defeated by the Jin people, learned that the Daqian Dynasty was hostile to the Jin Kingdom and that war was about to start. His Khan, Miguzhen Tereti, sent envoys to Yanjing to meet Li Cun and discuss how the two families should deal with each other. Form an alliance to jointly fight against the Kingdom of Jin.

The Tatar tribe, also known as the Tatar tribe, was a large, powerful, and wealthy ethnic group in the Mobei region before the rise of Mongolia. The tribe has a total of [-] households, and its overall strength is very strong.

The current territory of the Tatar Department is next to Dading Mansion (the original Liao Zhongjing), in the area of ​​Harqin Banner. They surrendered to the Liao State earlier, but they have been in a state of hostility with the Liao State.

Now, the Kingdom of Jin has replaced the Liao Kingdom as the new overlord of the grassland. Naturally, it also wants to conquer the Tataer tribe. After all, the two families are too close to each other, and the Tataer tribe has a very bad reputation.

——The Tatars are basically bandits on the prairie. They are known for being good with knives. Their nature is full of hatred, anger and jealousy. Their favorite thing to do is massacre and robbery. To be fair, with Tata Compared with others, the Jurchens are considered civilized people.

In this case, if the Tatar tribe is not conquered, the Jin people will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating.

The Tata'er Department also saw that the Jin people were serious this time, and they wanted to try to unite with the newly rising Daqian Dynasty and defeat the Jin Kingdom.

Knowing that the Tatar Ministry sent envoys to visit, Li Cun rarely asked Han Fang, who is now in charge of the diplomacy here in Yandi, to receive them, but asked Song Jiang and Wu Yong to receive them.

Han Fang was puzzled by this.

You know, after Song Jiang and Wu used Yanjing, Li Cun only granted Song Jiang a Fuwenge direct bachelor, and Wu Yong a Fuwenge servant, and did not give them any specific positions.

After Song Jiang and Wu Yong arrived in Yanjing, they just wandered around the city every day. They didn't look like they were being reused, and they were far from being put into key positions by Li Tun like other officials from the south.

But puzzled or puzzled, Han Fang sent two translators to Song Jiang and Wu Yong at the first time.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong soon went to pick up the envoys of the Tataer tribe sent by Tie Liti, who was Tie Liti's younger brother Khan Miguzhen Buluhui and a Bohai man named Wudong.

Unlike Han Fang who placed Wuxie and Gao Qingyi in the Wangjing Pavilion, Song Jiang and Wu Yong directly took Buluhui and Wudong to the embassy in Yanjing City, and entertained Buluhui and Wudong graciously.

Because Yanjing City has the largest number of Han people living in it, and it is close to the Song Dynasty, its business is very developed.

There are row upon row of restaurants and tea houses in Yanjing City, and many businesses are open all night. There are small taverns and cottages everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Especially the area around the imperial city where the Khitan and Xi people lived was luxurious and high-end.

The Khitan people and Xi people who came and went were all wearing gold and silver, jade belts around their waists, and bright and beautiful sable furs.

There are also noble ladies among Khitan and Xi people, with big breasts and round waists, they are not like the women in Tatar's department, they are all extremely shriveled, like old turtledoves.

Lu Hui and Wu Dong could not see all of this, their eyes flickering wildly.

Bu Luhui said in his not-so-fluent Chinese: "It is indeed the most affluent place in Daliao. There are rich people everywhere."

Song Jiang smiled and said: "The only people who are so rich are the Khitan people and the Xi people. After all, they have ruled this grassland for more than 200 years. Every family has a wealth of money and flocks of cattle and sheep."

Bu Luhui asked a little puzzled: "Since you Han people have defeated the Khitan and Xi people, why do you let them have these wealth?"

Song Jiang seemed to meet a bosom friend, and said to Bu Luhui and Wu Dong: "I also felt that way, so I suggested to my emperor to deprive all the wealth of the Khitan people and the Xi people, but my emperor is a benevolent and righteous king. I don’t want to do this thing that makes me worse.”

When Bu Luhui and Wu Dong heard the words, the look of disdain flashed in their eyes. It was obvious that they disapproved of Li Cun's kindness as a woman.

Wu Yong took Song Jiang's words and said: "Not only that, my emperor also promised that the Khitan people and Xi people who are willing to leave Yandi can leave with their wealth."

"?"

Bu Luhui and Wu Dong immediately became interested.

Wu Dong asked calmly: "Is your emperor really so generous?"

Wu Yong said unhappily: "What are you doing to lie to you two? After seven days, a large part of the Khitan people and Xi people you can see will leave Gubeikou with the wealth they have accumulated for more than 200 years."

Then, Song Jiang and Wu Yong told Bu Luhui and Wu Dong the ins and outs of the departure of the Khitan people and Xi people.

At the end, when Wu Dong cautiously confirmed with Song Jiang and Wu Yong that the Khitan people and Xi people would really leave with all their wealth, Wu Yong said casually: "It's not true that I didn't leave anything behind."

After hearing the words, Bu Luhui and Wu Dong couldn't help showing disappointment.

As if he didn't see the disappointment of Bu Luhui and Wu Dong, Wu Yong continued to say to himself: "There are many Khitans and Xi people crossing the border in this land. How can I not worry about them suddenly attacking my city or pass?" Therefore, the Khitan people and Xi people who are only allowed to leave in our court each bring five hundred horses, five hundred bows, and five hundred sabers. .”

When Bu Luhui and Wu Dong heard that the Khitan and Xi people left behind only horses and weapons, they almost didn't laugh out loud.

The two quickly and carefully confirmed some details with Song Jiang and Wu Yong.

The next day, under the repeated urging and bribery of Bu Luhui and Wu Dong, Song Jiang could only reluctantly apply for an early audience for them.

With Song Jiang's efforts, Li Cun changed his original intention and met Bu Luhui and Wu Dong in advance.

After listening to Bu Luhui and Wudong's request, Li Cun said that the Dagan Dynasty could form an alliance with the Tata'er tribe to fight against the Kingdom of Jin, and he simply made a sincere alliance with the Tata'er tribe.

In addition, Li Cun also took the initiative to express that the two families can exchange what they need. For example, the Tatars can exchange horses, cattle, sheep, and furs with the Daqian Dynasty for food, tea, wine, and other items. Set up a discussion field outside Songting Pass, allowing both parties to carry out large-scale transactions.

Originally, they were just here to talk about how to deal with Jin Guo's Buluhui and Wudong, but they didn't expect such an unexpected harvest. They were very happy and thanked Li Cun a thousand times.

In fact, it is no wonder that Bu Luhui and Wudong are so happy. In fact, since the Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Liao Kingdom, the Tata'er Department has lost a stable channel to obtain food and daily necessities, which makes the life of the Tata'er Department Life was very difficult. Now that the Dagan Dynasty is willing to provide such a channel to the Tataer tribe, how could Bu Luhui and Wudong be unhappy?
Li Cun didn't talk too much with Bu Luhui and Wu Dong, he just said that if they have any demands, they can talk to Song Jiang, and if they want, they can stay in Yanjing for a few more days.

No, Buluhui and Wudong said that they wanted to bring this good news back to the Tataer Department today, and said that they would come to see His Majesty again in the future.

Li Cun didn't keep Bu Luhui and Wu Dong, but asked Song Jiang and Wu Yong to send them off for him.

After Bu Luhui and Wu Dong left, Li Cun looked at the backs of Bu Luhui and Wu Dong and sighed leisurely, then looked away, and muttered to himself: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, if you want to blame, just blame me. You live, you don't go."
