Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 687 Wang Xiu’s Instigation of Jin 1
"By the way, there is still unconfirmed news. The Southern Dynasties are organizing a long voyage. The official ships are the main ones. They are recruiting merchant sea ships to go to Korea. Many big families have set sail. The organizer is Zhiliangzhe Road Maritime Safety Bureau Fei Su. "

Wu Shu was stunned, the Jurchens fought against the Song Dynasty, and in order to win over the Koreans, they adopted a tolerant and accommodating attitude, and only stationed a small number of Bohai officials in the border areas.

However, the Koreans don’t seem to buy it. They think that the Jurchens have a short history and are a group of barbarians. They stir up border incidents from time to time, kill border soldiers and farmers, and send people to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty. This touches the bottom line of the Jurchens. .

With the stability of the north-south structure, Jurchen's attitude towards Goryeo gradually became tougher, and the number of troops along the border increased to 2, maintaining strong military pressure on Goryeo, looking like they were sharpening their knives and stalking pigs and sheep.

In the second year of the Song Dynasty's southward migration, Wu Qimai mobilized [-] Jurchen horse troops and more than [-] Fanhan horse infantry troops to launch a large-scale attack on the Koryo army on the border.The Koreans were almost unbearable to fight, they were almost defeated at the touch of a finger, and they were beaten in a panic.

The Koreans are not stupid, they just took advantage of the Jurchen's busy going south and neglecting the small troubles in the north.Now that they have freed up their hands, it's no fun. They killed tens of thousands of them with only 2 people, and hurriedly sent envoys to pay tribute to the Jurchen. That humble servant's face made him look down on this small country with two heads.

Coupled with the fact that Koryo is mountainous and resource-poor, the Jurchen noble chiefs didn't have much interest at all, so they just muddled through and let them enter the palace with some products and beauties.

The Southern Dynasty actually organized a huge fleet to go north to Korea, which reminded him of the great battle in Xinqiao Town. The [-] navy of the Jin army and hundreds of warships stood in front of the navy of the Song army. No.

The performance of the Tiger Wing Army of the Song Army was really impressive, with 5000 men resolutely resisting the attack of the [-] horse army.They think they are doing business, and they must have ulterior motives. They want a huge fleet, and how many sailors will accompany it!In the eyes of those Koreans, it is clearly the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Lined up
In accordance with the procedures reported by the Privy Council's Speed ​​Division, intelligence related to important military and national affairs is screened one by one by the Speed ​​Division's recording room, and then submitted to the Privy Council by the governor in the form of articles of association. The whole set of reporting system for playing the emperor every day is very strict.

Unless it is an urgent military situation, Du Chengzhi will send it directly to the palace.Since the machine speed department is the framework for the time being, Du Chengzhi Xin Bing will do it for the time being, so he kindly gave Wang Xiu a copy.

Wang Xiu didn't reject Xin Bing's kindness. He also knew that the old man was convinced by the Yuquanshan Research Institute and wanted to show his kindness to him, so he didn't refuse the kindness.After all, everyone is really good, and who can guarantee that you won’t be used, no matter how high you are, you always need to handle specific affairs, don’t you?
When the secret Guantang, where the Noble Chiefs of Jurchen disputed the ownership of Hebei, arrived, Li Gang took Xin Bing as a top priority and took Xin Bing to the palace overnight to face the saint. The two houses were notified to meet the next day.

Wang Xiu naturally understood what was going on, and was a little speechless. This matter was originally planned and implemented by him. So far, everything has been carried out according to the plan, so he never expected to attract Li Gang's attention.

On the second day, Tang Ge, Wang Xiu, Qin Hui, Li Gang, Tan Shiji, Zhu Shengfei, Lu Haowen, Xu Han, and Zhang Qiyuan attended the imperial meeting of the Palace of Ruisi.

Just a few days ago, the imperial court made small-scale adjustments. Lu Haowen was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Han was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhang Qiyuan was moved to be a direct bachelor of the Privy Council.

Everyone circulated the Kwun Tong copy, and everyone knew that North-South relations were about to enter a new era.

Zhao Chen lightly tapped the table with his finger, pointed at the official copy of Guantang, and said seriously: "Everyone, please tell me how to deal with it?"

Wang Xiu saw that Zhao Chen still looked a little good, so she couldn't help but nodded secretly, hoping that her son could think deeper and see farther, not only be respectful to the corporal, but also be resourceful and decisive, and become a generation of enlightened masters.

Tang Ge pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the captives have been defeated year after year, and the generals in the army are in awe of the Celestial Dynasty. Moreover, at the beginning of the year, when the South invaded and collapsed, it is reasonable to be eager for peace.

"What does the prince think?" When Zhao Chen spoke, the corners of his mouth trembled involuntarily.

Zhu Lian insisted that he should be called Wang Xiu respectfully. From the perspective of reborn benefactors, the titles of Zhongfu and Yafu are indispensable.But he thought it was the duty of ministers to save the king, and there were so many old ministers in the court, and Wang Xiu was only in his thirties, so it was hard for him to be honored, and finally a compromise was reached, not calling the Qing family a prince, it was considered a prince Talk about everything.

Wang Xiu didn't want to hide it, let alone conceal it, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is reasonable for Jurchen to talk about ceding Hebei, but the court cannot be too optimistic."

"Oh, why is this?" Zhao Chen was a little confused. It was a great thing for the Jurchens to cede Hebei to negotiate peace.

Wang Xiu said bluntly: "It is the minister who planned to cede Hebei to the captives."

"What, the prince said yes... You planned it?" Zhao Chen was very surprised, never thought that Wang Xiu planned this matter, he really couldn't accept it, this matter is too nonsense, it is simply a fantasy.

Everyone present was also extremely surprised. Wang Xiu had the ability to remotely control the top Jurchen executives.

"How did Lord Wang plan? He actually asked the captives to return to Hebei." Li Gang stared at Wang Xiu with a look of disbelief. Defeating the Jin army on the battlefield is definitely not the same concept as being able to influence the opponent's political situation.

Wang Xiu shook his head, and said calmly: "The envoy was personally trained by my subordinates. After years of hard work, he finally entered the high-level captives. In order to ensure the safety of the envoy, his name cannot be mentioned. I hope your majesty and gentlemen will understand."

Zhao Chen trembled for a while, the corners of his mouth twitched excitedly, and hurriedly said: "That's natural, the prince will tell you quickly."

"Since the envoy has a special status and has a heavy responsibility to deal with the captives and noble chieftains, the fewer people who know the better." Tang Ge expressed his understanding. He set up several speed bureaus and prepared a speed division to ensure the envoy's Safety is listed as the first, and it is also recognized by the two governments.

Wang Xiu nodded, and said casually: "It's very simple. Giving generous gifts, plotting and plotting, stimulating greed, and letting them know that returning Hebei is not a good thing for the court but a burden."

"It's that simple?" Zhao Chen was very dissatisfied. He thought he could still hear wonderful stories, but he was so disappointed.

However, the important ministers present who have gone through the wind and rain are not so similar. It is a simple sentence with countless calculations. The hardships and dangers involved can be imagined. They are not fools. From the contact to the implementation of the plan, it is absolute that you do not have considerable acting skills .
