Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 376
"Han people or Jin people?" Zhao Huan asked.

There are not a few Han people in the north who are loyal to Jin Ting and Liao, and Zhao Huan especially hates these people.

If the system hadn't reminded Zhao Huanyu of Wen Xuzhong's identity in time, Zhao Huan would never have met these traitors.

They gave up their identities, forgot their country, and came to him, but they were not hacked to death by him. It was because Zhao Huan obeyed the traditional etiquette, and the two countries did not fight.

Zhao Huan is not discrimination, but hatred.

"Han people, if the Jin people can't get to Bianjing, they will be cut off by the soldiers of the frontier army in exchange for rewards and land. If General Han didn't send someone over, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom would not be able to reach Bianjing." Li Gang whispered Said.

This is the system of military meritorious titles equaling land. Soldiers are a bunch of big bastards, how can you say courtesy to them?
They have to beat you with a big knife.The weapon in your hand is the greatest truth!

If they were Han people, since a large number of chazi and merchants from the Imperial City Division were active in Liao and Jin, this group of elders could bear it a little bit.

Obviously, the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin who came this time was not Chazi, so Han Shizhong was required to send someone to escort him.

"It's gone." Zhao Huan shook his head and refused to meet the country's thieves. If he got angry and cut off these dogs, wouldn't he lose the demeanor of a state of etiquette?

"Then don't see it. There's no need to see it." Li Gang nodded and said, he is a staunch main fighter, and he knows how unbreakable the current defense of the Northland is.

Unless the golden man has wings, he really can't threaten other roads except Yunzhong Road.

"The envoys of the official Khitan people, Yeluxie and Jin envoy, have arrived, do you want to meet?" Li Gang continued to ask.

"What are you here for?" Zhao Huan asked with interest.Why are the Khitan people joining in the fun?
Li Gang took out the letter of credence and said: "I request the benevolence and righteousness of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to cover the land of Khitan, and ask the Jiesheng army to garrison. This is the letter of credence, the officials."

"General Wang and the Khitans made an appointment for one year. One year later, the Jiesheng Army returned to Yunzhong Road and returned Linhuang City to the Khitans in exchange for supplies from the Khitans. But Yelu Yujian thought for a long time and sent an envoy Came to Bianjing. The Jiesheng army is gone, they can't stand Linhuang."

Zhao Huan opened the letter of credence and read it twice carefully. Yeluyu saw that the letter of credence was very sincere.

Every year to the Great Song Dynasty, 5000 taels of gold, 40 taels of silver, [-] horses and cattle, [-] sheep, and [-] shi of iron.

There is not much money, and in terms of the current state treasury and internal funds of the Song Dynasty, this amount of money is still underestimated.

But [-] large livestock such as horses and cows, and [-] sheep are a lot of wealth. The Song Dynasty lacks large livestock.

And there are iron materials and [-] stones, about [-] tons of high-quality iron materials.

Seeing the sincerity of his words, Yeluyu only asked Zhao Huan to give an order to save the Khitan people from the fire and water.

Let Yeluyu see the reason why this old fox made such a decision is very complicated.

The rule of the Jin people was relatively simple and rough. The Khitan people would rather choose to be castrated by the Song people and go to the coalfields of Datong Prefecture to dig coal, rather than stay in the original Liao Kingdom, which is now ruled by the Jin people.

It can be seen how unpopular the Jin people were in the old land of Liao.

The Khitan people's youth was serious, forcing Yelu Yujian to lose face and beg Zhao Huan.

"Let that Yelu come up to the palace." Zhao Huan decided to deal with this matter today after reading the national documents.

"The Liao Kingdom came to send Yelu into the palace!" Wei Chengen shouted loudly, the eunuchs outside the palace gate spread their voices, and it reached the ears of the relatives in the Wufeng Building of Chengdemen.

The officer personally opened the side door and let Yeluxie into Miyagi.

Yelu stepped up to the main hall and looked at the exquisiteness of the Song Dynasty's palace. He was a little dazed for a while, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and said, "The envoys of the Liao Kingdom pay homage to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the official family Wantai Yongkang."

"Give a seat to the Yelu envoy." Zhao Huan was ready to make a deal with the Yelu family.

You must know that the grassland is not poor.

Needless to say, cows, horses, cloth, fur, etc., Zhao Huan's goal is the open-pit iron mine controlled by Yelu Yujian, which is the most important thing.

"The official, the minister changed his surname to Han, and the official called the minister Liu Xie." Yeluxie said cautiously.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhao Huan asked while looking at Yelu.

Yelu bowed his head and said: "The national teacher took the lead in changing the Han surname, and now there are no Yelu people on the grassland, only the Liu family."

"Originally, the Taizu of the Liao Kingdom planned to change the Yelu family to the Liu surname, because the Yelu family was in full swing in the grassland at that time, and refused to change the surname. The opposition was too loud, so it stopped."

"Now that the Yelu family has lost their glory, the national teacher has inherited Taizu's behest and asked the Yelu family to change their surname."

Zhao Huan frowned and asked, "Is the national teacher Yelu Yujian?"

"Yes, the official, this time it is the official sent by the National Teacher to invite the official's benevolence and righteousness to shine on the grassland." Yeluxie replied.

Zhao Huan looked at Yeluxie and sighed. It seemed that the life of the Khitan people on the grassland was really very difficult. They did this to find Zhao Huan's help.

After the 200-year dynasty collapsed, even the Yelu royal family was not spared.

Yelu Dashi ran away with the elite, and the entire Khitan clan was slaughtered on the grassland. In order to survive, Yelu Yujian didn't want any face.

Zhao Huan frowned and looked at the Khitan envoy, because the Khitan was crying as he spoke.

"Okay, don't cry, you're like a woman!"

"If you're a man, pick up the knives and axes in your hands and raise your horsewhip! How much humiliation and suffering the golden man has given you! Use the weapons in your hands to make the golden man repay you! Crying can make you lose your face!" Did Cheng cry to death?!" Zhao Huan was furious.

Even after learning that Yelu had changed his surname, a trace of sympathy arose in his heart.

Sympathy.

If I hadn't personally conquered and reformed the military system, I am afraid that the people in the whole Northland are not crying now.

"Officials, save the Khitan people. The Song and Liao countries are brotherly countries, and the Liao country has never broken its oath. Please look at the centuries-old friendship between the Liao and Song countries, and save the Khitan people." .”

"The Jin people won't give us time. As soon as the heavenly soldiers of the Song Dynasty retreat, the Jin people will make a comeback. The land of the three roads that has been recovered now cannot be kept."

"I have no sons in Khitan! But no matter how strong a man is without any training, he will die on the battlefield." Yeluxie didn't cry much, but his crying voice made the court of Song Dynasty a little dull.

Zhao Huan said with a little embarrassment: "You are a scholar who understands things. I open the skylight and speak brightly. Have you ever thought about it? I approved your request and sent Song soldiers to station in your Liao land to resist the Jin people."

"You Khitan people are used to spending money to buy peace, do you still have the idea of ​​revenge? Do you still have the ambition to regain your homeland? Do you still have blood? A Khitan who has lost blood is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the grassland. .”

"Just like the Song and Liao countries after the Chanyuan alliance, both the armies were weak. The court fell into internal strife, and the court was singing and dancing outside the court to make peace. If you forget the battle, you will be in danger!"

What Zhao Huan said was the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and he also said it to the officials of the Song Dynasty!
Zhao Huan was unable to bear the price of peace negotiation and appeasement, nor was he willing to bear it.

Yeluxie was trembling all over, his shoulders shrugged and trembled, and finally raised his head with tears on his face and said: "Officials, the Liao Kingdom has fallen."

"The Liao Kingdom is gone, and now there are only Khitan people. If the government doesn't have soldiers stationed there, we Khitan people are not even human beings, just Khitan slaves!"

Zhao Huan was silent for a long time, finally nodded and said: "If this is true, I hope it is false, if this is false, I hope it is true."

"I want the right to mine the iron ore. The output of the open-air Iron Mountain of Krulenbar belongs to Da Song. The mining can be handed over to the Khitan people. I can pay the Khitan people to mine the iron mountain. But if there is any fraud, I will not Let the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty return to the cloud."

Zhao Huan put forward his own conditions, and looked at Yeluxie, the Khitan people gave money, cattle, horses and sheep, and iron materials.

This did not satisfy his appetite, he wanted the open-air iron mountain of the Khitan people.

"Sure enough, as the national teacher said, Song people are extremely treacherous, and they will never make a loss-making business." Yelu bowed his head and said, "How long will the official's mining rights for this iron mountain last?"

"100 years." Zhao Huan said a number.
