Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1024 Situation in the Northwest
"The merchants from all over the world, my husband and I have already reported it in secret. It was a secret agreement between the two governments. Those merchants can't go to the river to make profits, they can only let them pay for the share, and the imperial court takes the money to do things, which can be regarded as an advance payment."

"So that's how it is, it's because the concubines are superficial!" Li Qingming understood, Wang Xiu's trick is still clever, at least it can solve the immediate problem.

"Brother must be extorting merchants, and the eldest sister is also responsible for it." Youqin Mo Yan covered his lips with his sleeve and smiled, as if seeing Wang Xiu's appearance as a profiteer.

Zhu Lian glanced at his friend Qin Moyan, and said with a smile: "What Mrs. Junguo said is that for the benefit of overseas mines, these businessmen donate generously, and the household treasury has an income of 700 million yuan, but there are still people who buy it."

"Oh, 700 million guan? It's so much." Li Qingzhao was taken aback. He couldn't believe that Wang Xiu was making money!There are also those businessmen, who are simply moths of the country, sitting on so much money and hiding it tightly.

"One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. This is still less. It is estimated that there are not tens of millions of pennies. It is impossible to seal the bottom." Zhu Lian ignored Li Qingzhao's surprise and hit her hard.

Li Qingzhao didn't say anymore, Wang Xiu could collect tens of millions of money by holding a merchant gathering, so what else can people say?There is simply nothing to say.

Youqin Mo Yan smiled softly, and said softly: "I don't know about it, the inland merchants can't share the interests of the sea merchants, so my brother thought of a way. Anyway, overseas mines are plentiful, so we simply give the inland merchants the benefits in proportion. , It also saves them from fighting each other, and it would be better for everyone to live in harmony and make money."

Li Qingzhao really understood that this is not as simple as borrowing chickens to lay eggs, but twisting the interests of various places together, which can minimize the conflicts between merchants and merchants in various places, so that they have a common general direction, and can't help but say, "It's a good plan!"

"Sanggong is far-sighted, he doesn't care much about Northwest, but he is a good man!" Zhu Lian sighed a little, but felt a little out of control.

Youqin Mo Yan's heart skipped a beat, but his expression was very calm.

Li Qingzhao's mind was active, and Zhu Lian's inadvertent tone was enough to make her think about it. It seems that people's talk about the empress dowager and the prime minister is not completely groundless, maybe it's another scene, but it's a pity that she can't ask. .

"Forget it, let's not talk about these words and interests, they are all done by their men. How is Li Niangzi's Jinshilu written?" Lost, after all, in front of Youqin Mo Yan, his face must be ugly.

"The first edition is completed and proofreading is in progress." When mentioning Jinshilu, Li Qingzhao couldn't help feeling a little bit sentimental.Back then, if Wang Xiu hadn’t invited her, he would have lived in a small corner of Hangzhou, worrying about his livelihood. How could he have the academic achievements of today? Hong Zhen suggested that Zhongshan Academy should publish it, obviously because he was optimistic about its academic value.

"Oh, brother is also optimistic about Jinshilu." Youqin Mo Yan interjected.

"Let's go for a walk by the lake." Zhu Lian felt frustrated for a while, and got up to go for a walk.

When Wang Xiu was collecting money in the north and Fei Su was doing business with all countries in the south, Li Renxiao's hard days finally came.

According to the latest military information, the Jurchens have malicious intentions, and a powerful horse army is passing through the city of Wulahai in the north, but it has not been confirmed.

It didn't take long for the news that it was confirmed to be the Jin Army's troops, and the scale was about tens of thousands, which made people shocked.

Brother Cha is an experienced veteran, and he immediately judged that the Jurchens were in trouble. They wanted to attack Yan Junsi in Heishui Town, and explained the reason.

Li Renxiao's expression had never been good, and he understood that Dangxiang was abandoned by the Jurchens!Become an outcast through and through.

It is true that the party item has the value of being used by the Jurchens, which is reflected in the fact that it can contain the strength of the Song Dynasty's frontier army and cannot allow the Song army to develop the value of the horse army on a large scale, so that the Jurchens can strategically suppress the Song dynasty.

Today, the Xia army's left wing is almost completely wiped out, and Liangzhou is also occupied by the Song army. On the other hand, the Song army is not in a hurry to attack.At first, it felt like the best time was lost, but it was not like that when you think about it carefully. They clearly used the east road to form a barrier, allowing the Jin army to weigh its strength, take the initiative to recognize the situation, and give up the plan to directly send troops to intervene.

Tasting it now, this trick is indeed clever, and it belongs to the kind of blatant conspiracy that forces the Jurchen to make a choice.

The Jurchens are really shameless, allowing the grassland barbarians to go south, and even play a leading role, so that the Xia army in the north is restrained, but they lightly marched along the northern water grassland and entered the Yanjun Division of Heishui Town, trying to fish in troubled waters.

However, he did not dare to imagine how much the Jin army launched an offensive, and how much it would hit the Dangxiang people. The Song army had a powerful offensive in the east, and the central part was also cut off by the Song army.

Besides, most of the troops in Ganzhou and Shazhou are second-line troops. Where is the fierce opponent of the Jin army, the Jin army can go south along the Heluochuan River and attack Suzhou. Not only can it completely occupy the important town in the west of Hexi, but it will also lead to The Gansu Army Division, which was fighting fiercely with the Song Army, failed, and the Great Xia was really over, making enemies on all sides, and there was no physiology.

What's even more frightening is that when the news of the Jin army's westward advance came out, the Song army's camps on the East Road launched a merciless attack like a storm.

The Great Song dynasty began to launch the strongest offensive against Xia.

In the battle of Dongguan Town in Xiping Mansion, the Song army showed a strong ability to attack and defend against the outside world. Facing the repeated attacks of the Xia army's cavalry and reorganizing the army formation several times, the Song army stood still, even for the black bones. Excited, I had to pull Ma Jun out, so as not to burn everything and lose all my money.

The Song Army concentrated three hundred crossbow carts, fired gunpowder pear flower arrows, and had hundreds of heavy-duty trebuchets, fired iron cannonballs, and taught Xia Jun an unforgettable lesson. The Poxi Army and the Strong Crossbow Army were simply weak. Song Jun's blow was devastating.

Gu Lihei watched the Song army attacking the city from a distance, he was stunned, especially the spectacular scene at night, he couldn't imagine whether there would be any living people in the city, and he had to launch the final reinforcement counterattack.

Kan Xian led the horse army to make several roundabout attacks, and all of them ended in failure in front of the Song army waiting in full force.In the battle against the Xia army's horse army, the Shengjie army saved face. With the support of the horse army, their army formation was broken through twice, but they were forced to close. Instead, they trapped hundreds of horsemen and seized the horses. Not a small victory has been obtained.

Qiu Yun participated in the battle. It is true that he belonged to the Xuanwu Army, but as a horse army unit on the return journey, he was concentrated and used. The Yuanbian Township Army had horse officers and soldiers who were assigned to deal with the Gulihei troops.
