Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 672 Da Song entered a new virtuous circle

The battle of Liaoyang has ended, and Liaoyang has already fallen into the hands of Song Dynasty.

There are also some remnants of the Jin Kingdom who have not escaped, but most of them are small troops and do not pose a threat.

The most important thing is that the Song Dynasty did not fight security wars, and any Han, Khitan, and Bohai people who were unwilling to surrender would become part of the Jinren Jingguan.

Buried in the ground with their former masters.

This was the strategy set by Zhong Shidao at the beginning, and Zhao Huan did not intend to change this strategy.

If the Jin people are forgiven, who will make the people on Hedong Road, Yunzhong Road, and Yanjing Road close their eyes?

Who will appease the anger in the hearts of the soldiers of the Jiesheng Army, Yongding Army, Hejian Army, Shan Haijun, and Yanjing Army?

Zhao Huan didn't intend to be that person, so he just implemented the strategy honestly.

After defeating Liaoyang, it is natural to increase the number of officials and ranks. There is no doubt that Yue Fei's meritorious service in the process of conquering Liaodong County is enough to build a festival.

He won Linhuang, Kunyizhou, Xingzhong, Jinzhou and Liaoyang, and fully supported the strategy of the entire Liaodong County. If he didn't build festivals, then his generals would not be able to be promoted.

A smile appeared on Yue Fei's face. Establishing a festival is a matter of great honor. After the establishment of the festival in the Song Dynasty, you can call yourself a general.

Although the Jiedushi of the Song Dynasty did not have as much power as the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty, and even commanded troops with only [-] according to the law, they were still in name only.

But the monthly salary of [-] guan is the real deal, and it is still the same rank as the second rank and Taiwei.

Yue Fei hesitated and asked, "Is it too young? It's easy to be judged by others."

He is only 27 years old this year, so he is indeed younger. After Han Shizhong's meritorious service this time, he is only a general, and Yue Fei is the only one in Jianjie.

And Han Shizhong is 40 years old.

Zhao Huan looked at Yue Fei and said with a smile: "I think those who are qualified to establish a festival will only make more meritorious deeds, come to establish a festival, and you don't need to pay attention to those who are not qualified to establish a festival."

Yue Fei tasted these words carefully, with a smile on his face.

After Liaoyang City was fully occupied, the clearing strategy was officially implemented, and there were countless more Jingguan on Phoenix Mountain.

The corpses of the Jin people were piled together and buried with soil.And each Jingguan is about ten feet high.

The role of Jingguan is to deter the enemy. This land that can be seen from a long distance tells the enemy what will happen if they invade and plunder the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan inspected Jingguan one by one. These corpses are piled up together, and plague is easy to appear.

Obviously, this is not the first time that the army of the Great Song Dynasty has done this kind of thing. The seal is extremely strict, but there is no harm from the plague.

The piles in Jingguandu are extremely neat and familiar.

"Officials, Wanyan Zongwang returned to Huining Mansion, and immediately wrote a letter of credence, here is the letter of credence." Zhao Ying handed a letter of credence to Zhao Huan.

The last time Zhao Huan killed the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, he completely eliminated the Jin people's desire to negotiate peace.

"Haha!" Zhao Huan laughed wildly after reading the note, and said, "Wanyan Zongwang said that he wanted to have peace talks with Zhen and meet at the north bank of the Liaohe River. He said that he would use the Liaohe River as the boundary, and be brothers from generation to generation, and never resort to swordsmanship."

"Is he humiliating me!" Zhao Huan handed the letter to Zhao Yinggui.

Zhao Ying closed her eyes and pondered for a while, then said: "If you want to use Zhao Gou's minister's words to humiliate the officials by saying that you came to Huajiang today, I don't think so."

Wanyan Zongwang made Zhao Gou's letter of [Chen Gouyan] public to the world. At that time, Wanyan Zongwang thought that the emperor of the Song Dynasty and Zhao Gou brothers were working together as a strategy!
It was only later that it turned out that the Great Song Emperor had indeed fallen out with the Ninth Prince Zhao Gou, and they had a big fight. In the end, there was a scene of endless death, which ended with the Great Song Emperor's overall victory.

Zhao Huan tapped his fingers on the table and said, "This Wanyan Zongwang has made a condition that I cannot refuse the alliance at all. Regardless of the outcome of the peace talks, he will send Du Chong to Liaoyang."

"He knows that I hate him to the bone, that's why he has this condition."

"Officials, I think it's better not to go. I don't know if Wanyan Zongwang is cheating." Zhao Ying hurriedly said as soon as she heard this.

As an official, I am a person who can't stay idle. If I agree to Wanyan Zongwang and really go to the alliance, if something goes wrong, it will be impossible to end the situation.

Zhao Huan shook his head with a smile and said: "I won't go, and I'm not a fool. But I can send someone to make an alliance with Wanyan Zongwang. If we want to make an alliance, it's king to king. He's a king of Wei, and he's not an emperor. How can you lower yourself?"

Zhao Ying nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, what is Wanyan Zongwang! He doesn't have the qualifications to meet officials."

"It's just that the attitude of the officials before the peace talks was to sternly reject them. Why did they suddenly agree to talk this time?"

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying, and said with a smile, "You don't understand. The reason for not talking about peace before was because of the situation at that time, and now the peace talks are also because of the situation."

"Before taking Liaoyang, any peace talks are meaningless, because even the territory is in dispute. Now the peace talks are because Liaodong County has been established as a county since the Han Dynasty, but it has not been deeply cultivated."

"Now that Liaodong County is regained, it will naturally be digested and absorbed. Of course, we can sit down and talk about it. As for how long and how far we talk, it depends on the digestion speed of the newly restored land."

Zhao Huan was stuck in the neck before, trying to talk about it, but he just didn't talk about it!
I am afraid that if I am discouraged here, the people below will be discouraged with me.

But now that Liaodong County has been taken, the extra territory, the cultivated land, mines, and forest farms on it are all great wealth.

With the stimulation of such wealth, can Da Song stop his footsteps?

In particular, with a population of nearly [-] million in the Great Song Dynasty, land is urgently needed to alleviate the social pressure brought about by population expansion, so it is natural to find a way to alleviate this pressure.

Throwing babies is a method that the folks of the Song Dynasty thought of.

And the way Zhao Huan thought of was to open the frontier.

The nearly [-] million population of Song Dynasty has reached a precarious state.

Although Zhao Ji is indeed very incompetent, there are actually social reasons for Zhao Ji's 26-year reign and more than 200 uprisings by the people who broke through the state capital.

But any natural disaster will always cause an uprising.This is not accidental, because the land of Song Dynasty can no longer carry such a large population.

Fierce land annexation and overpopulation are the root causes of several large-scale uprisings. To solve this problem, Zhao Huan's Land Equalization Order can only alleviate this contradiction, but cannot cure it.

The only way to resolve this contradiction is to go out.

Especially in the feudal era, all productivity in the feudal era came from the land, and more land meant greater benefits.

Therefore, the victory of Liaoyang County represents that the Song Dynasty has entered a new virtuous circle.

More people need more land, and if you get more land, more people will be born, and more land will be needed again.

The people of Song Dynasty, who had tasted the sweetness, could no longer stop their footsteps.

This is why Zhao Huan dared to negotiate peace.

The current situation is that the emperor really wants peace talks. From ministers to scholar-bureaucrats, from merchants to common people, they will not agree to peace talks with him.

"All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit. Tai Shigong really has eyes." Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying and said with a smile.

Zhao Ying looked puzzled, and he still didn't understand why the officials suddenly agreed to the Jinren's peace talks.

　Thanks to the leader of "JackieZXW" for the reward, thank you very much.This book of the Northern Song Dynasty has another leader, Sahua!
