Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 864 Facing the Jurchen Blackmail
As the northern Jin army gathered again, the constant news from Guantang shocked the Song Dynasty. Fortunately, the court did not make any heresy.Also, as important officials of the imperial court, they have a more thorough view of the relationship between the North and the South. It is nothing more than two children playing house, fighting over a piece of candied haws anytime, anywhere, and fighting over a piece of candy just after dividing the dirt.

However, among the people, it was rumored that the Jurchens would lose their alliance and go south, and everyone cursed at them.Nima, the handwriting of the North-South Covenant has not yet been dry, and the soldiers and horses have not yet completely dispersed. The Jurchens are in a hurry to prepare for the army. They are shameless villains. They use the covenant as toilet paper, and let people live in Tiananmen?
Moreover, Dangxiang was preparing to attack Pingqiang City, and it was obvious that he was making trouble, which was simply the act of a villain.

However, the disputes in the world are not based on the fact that the people have always been there. As long as there are enough interests, no one really takes the covenant seriously.

In just a few days, the wind direction suddenly reversed, and the Jin army once again gathered 15 horse infantry troops to go south, distributed in the military states along the way south, and the momentum was quite huge.

When there was a lot of noise along the river, it was finally confirmed that Wushu Langjun, the deputy marshal of Dajin Zuo, passed on the edict of Jurchen Langzhu, declaring that in view of the good alliance between the North and the South, he led an army of 40 troops to the south to escort the Queen Mother of the Southern Dynasty. Shang Zhaoji's Zigong returned to the south.

The [-] elite Jurchen tribe gathered from the north, and the original soldiers and horses were on standby in their respective military prefectures, and they automatically joined the escort team when they arrived at Zigong.

Of course, the general of the Jin Army also complained quite a bit. He had just fought a battle and then dispersed back to the Garrison State.

Complaints belong to complaints, and everyone knows in their hearts that as long as they can't fight in the south, there will definitely be some benefits.

For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say, and Cai Yi, the newly appointed Xuanfu envoy of the Fifth Route Xuanfu Division, was obviously at a loss for what to do.

Although the preparation and training of the major battalions has been completed, the forbidden army and the issuance of township soldiers have completed the assembly, and the various armies have clarified the strategic direction of the camp, and they are no longer fighting on their own.

However, if they really escorted the Taishang's coffin into the country, should they fight or not?Fighting, that is the Zi Palace that escorted Zhao Ji, if you don't fight, let the Jin army cross the river, it will kill you!
The two governments were also in a dilemma. The government and the opposition were in a turmoil. People's vision turned to whether to fight the Jin army or to fight against the Jin army or to clear the country and let the Jin army cross the river to Luoyang.

After all, people occupy the great righteousness, and there is also Taishang Zigong, there must be no talk of fighting on the surface, only discussion about whether to let go or not.It's a joke, do you dare to say it?If the Taishangzi Palace is damaged, it will be the responsibility of death!

Wang Xiu was well prepared, and the strategy of the Jurchen was very clear, that is, to help the party members to contain the Song Dynasty's offensive pace, and let the party members capture Pingqiang City, with a strong flavor of Zhang Qiyuan, and the conspiracy was slow.

How to say it is to contain the pace of attack, that is, the Song Dynasty is on the edge of Shaanxi, and has always maintained its offensive posture. Pingqiang City is a thorn in Xia Ruan's abdomen, an important offensive stronghold.

Once the Song Dynasty decides to send troops, Pingqiang City will be an important offensive stronghold in the west of Hengshan, which can ensure that the army can cross the vast sea and directly attack Yaode City and even Xiping Mansion, which is the soft belly of the Dangxiang people's national defense.

Zhao Chen couldn't hold his breath any longer, so he hurriedly called a meeting with the six ministers of the two governments and the Shangshu to discuss how to deal with the Jurchens.Well, due to the continuous deepening of the new official system, the status of the six ministries of Shangshu Province has been improved again, and they have entered the decision-making circle.

According to Wang Xiu's intention, the expansion of the Six Departments is certain, and many yamen will be spawned. The abolition of the Guozijian and the establishment of the Ministry of Education to govern the world's culture and education are very popular, and Wang Xiu's tacit approval has been obtained, but it is not yet mature enough.
Of course, the highest level of the Department of Shangshu, there are still six departments. That is to say, the Department of Shangshu can add departments, but they have to be divided into three, six, and nine grades.If it has to be detailed, for example, the six ministers are classified as the second grade, and the other ministers to be established are from the second grade, and they cannot be called Shangshu Butang.

Everyone had their own thoughts, you said yours and I said mine, which made Zhao Chen at a loss, not knowing whether to send troops to stop or let him cross the river.

Wang Xiu didn't say a word, just watched with cold eyes, and put it on her head that it had nothing to do with her.Of course, it’s not really that the matter is not his own. He needs to look again before he can decide how to say it. A qualified prime minister is not a one-man conspiracy to make a strong decision, but to synthesize the wisdom of everyone and finally make a decisive decision.

"Is the captive really trustworthy? Before the ink of the alliance is dry, he raised a large army to go south again. He even used the excuse of returning to the Zi Palace and doing disgusting things to contain blackmail. Is it tolerable or unbearable? Your Majesty, please stop his army from crossing the river."

Zhao Ding was very dissatisfied with the South-North Alliance. He kept saying that the captives were cunning and honest and untrustworthy.

Of course, he is not a fool. It can be seen that the Jurchens are holding back the Song Dynasty and making it impossible for the northern servants to reinforce Shaanxi.

However, he had some reservations in his words, he just said to prevent his army from crossing the river, he didn't say to send troops or go to war, which fully showed that he was not a stupefied young man, and he would never shoot at the king's muzzle to give people an excuse. As for how to stop it, that is the matter of the princes of the two prefectures, the matter of the six books of the Minister of the Communist Party of China.

When Wang Xiu heard what Zhao Ding said, he knew that this guy understood. It is typical to be a whore and set up a memorial archway. A strange smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, but he still remained silent.

Li Gang frowned slightly, and secretly scolded Zhao Ding and Meng Lang. The Jurchens had ulterior motives, but they stood up to righteousness. If you are going to ruin Taishang Zigong, what will happen to you? My lord's words are wrong!"

Zhao Ding raised his brows slightly, who would have thought that Wang Xiu didn't refute, and Li Gang acted like an outcropping bird, and said displeasedly: "I don't know what Master Li means?"

"Let me ask, what are the odds of winning if the imperial court starts wars in Yanhe and Shaanxi at the same time? What's more, how can you fight the captives under the pretext of returning the Taishang Zi Palace?" But he didn't listen carefully to Zhao Ding's words.

"Since they clearly want to contain the imperial court, let's not let them succeed." Before Zhao Ding could speak, Xu Han said something first, which also didn't involve sending troops to resist. Everyone is just doing this, so naturally they wouldn't go to the pit of fire. Jump in.

The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched. It seemed that few of them who could stand in the hall were fools. Everyone could understand the situation.

The Jurchen's trick was like the Khitan's blackmail in the past. Apart from helping the party members to contain the main force of the northern servants, they also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits.Some people want to take advantage of the opportunity to make dangerous moves and counterattack the Jurchens with a tough stance. They are absolutely reluctant in public and private, and they are not willing to bear the consequences of sending troops.

Really, a group of seemingly upright old foxes!
