"The Jianwu Army in Yongzhou still has 1,200 people." Zhang Shuye replied, "Since Zongze went south to rectify the Xiang Army, the Jianwu Army began to learn the new military system, and it still has some fighting strength, but this matter is not just a war.

I'm afraid it also involves diplomacy, and we need to send a suitable person there."

Zhao Ding said: "I do have a suitable candidate."

"who?"

"Xie Qian." Zhao Ding said, "This person was sent to Korea as an envoy before. He has diplomatic skills and is also a talented general."

"Then send him and Zhang Shuye will arrange the matter."

"yes."

Wang Zongliu said again: "Your Majesty, I wonder who is this envoy to Dali?"

"Keep letting Zhang Bangchang go."

No one objected. After all, it was Zhang Bangchang who had been contacting Dali.

Zhang Bangchang had his flaws before, but the current monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty are not the monarchs and ministers of the past Song Dynasty.

Under Zhao Ning's exaggeration, as long as he can work hard and achieve results, the rest will be put aside first.

"Ms. Lu, when will the road from Tokyo to Taiyuan be repaired?"

"It will be completed in February next year."

"What about the road from Taiyuan to Fuzhou?"

Lu Yihao said: "Now Taiyuan Prefecture has begun preparations. It will start in the spring of next year. If nothing happens, the construction from Taiyuan to Fuzhou can be completed in the autumn of next year."

Lu Yihao has a unique temperament when speaking, clean and neat.

"Wang Zonglio."

"In April next year, I want to transport a batch of tea to Fuzhou. From Fuzhou out of the Great Wall and beyond the Great Wall, the quantity should not be less than 100,000 jins. You can help me solve this matter."

"Your Majesty!" Wang Zonglio suddenly felt pain in his body.

Tea in the Song Dynasty was basically grown in the south. Selling tea to the Hebei area was already very expensive, let alone to border areas like Fuzhou.

"Not only that, we also need to transfer another 50,000 shi of grain as commodities out of the fortress." Zhao Ning stared at the map sharply, "Once the imperial court starts to mobilize troops to exterminate Xia, the Jin Kingdom will definitely take action. If we give Jin more money outside the fortress,

If someone arranges a strong enemy, it will be much more difficult for the Jin army to march west to save Xixia, so you must complete this matter. From now on, you must give Yu Yunwen as many goods as he wants!"

"Yes... except for the tea, which is a bit difficult, everything else is fine."

"You have to give even if it's difficult, and you have to give it continuously. Tea can be sold at low prices. If merchants are willing to cooperate, the court will provide resources. Aren't you Wang Taiwei always good at this?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I promise to do this well."

The first battle between Song and Li was basically suspended for a while.

The Dali envoy returned without success in Tokyo, but Zhang Bangchang received an order to go to Dali as an envoy.

In November, Li Guang, the governor of Jiangdong, sent a memorial.

The content of the memorial is relatively simple. Qin Hui changed rice into mulberry in Jiangdong to achieve political success, and the heavy responsibility obviously fell on Li Guang.

Li Guang naturally had no experience, so he sent someone to Hangzhou to find Qian Yuqing to ask for advice and learn.

When the people sent there took a look, it turned out that the model was very simple. It was a so-called privatized trading company combined with a bank to operate together.

This model can be moved to Jiangdong, so while cleaning up the previous bad debts, Li Guang drafted a new policy strategy for Jiangdong to change rice to mulberry.

Zhao Ning himself wanted to support Li Guang, so he naturally praised him and gave him a platform.

This matter is not over yet. After half of the officials in Jiangdong were investigated, the total property seized exceeded 3 million yuan!

Won’t the issue of official salaries across the country be basically solved by the end of the year?

He actually allocated 1 million guan to Qin Hui, but now he has got 3 million guan back, making a net profit of 2 million guan, and severely suppressed Qin Hui.

No matter how you calculate it, this is a profit.

Numb!

It was the third day of November in the ninth year of Jingkang, Xixia, Xingqing Mansion.

The envoy sent by Li Qianshun to the Kingdom of Jin has returned.

This messenger was none other than Weiming Anhui, the former prime minister of Xixia who had previously instigated the relationship between Song and Xia.

"How is it? What is the Jin man doing now?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, the Jin people are currently fighting with the Song people in Fuzhou, Liaodong, and they have been fighting for nearly a year."

"I'm asking, if the Jin people lost important towns like Fuzhou and Daizhou, didn't they take further action?" Li Qianshun asked anxiously.

Linzhou, Fuzhou, and Daizhou were all taken back by the Song army.

Judging from the map, all strategic locations east of Hengshan have returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty, which means that the battle line between Song and Xia has once again been lengthened.

Li Qianshun simply did not have that many troops to deploy such a long front line defense.

Weiming Anhui couldn't help but feel proud.

In the court of Xixia, he was pro-Jin and exterminated the Song Dynasty.

Now that the Song State has taken back the Fuzhou area, it has further posed a greater threat to Xixia, and Li Qianshun became anxious.

Don't talk about being pro-Song, now Li Qianshun is afraid of Song.

He had already begun to regret that he did not cooperate with the Jin Kingdom in going south in the second year of Jingkang.

"Your Majesty, the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom has just ascended the throne and is focusing on Fuzhou, Liaodong. He has lost interest in Daizhou and Fuzhou." Weiming Anhui saw that Li Qianshun was already afraid, so he further threatened Li Qianshun, "The Jin Kingdom is in the clouds." There are still elites in the army, so there is no need to worry about the Song army leaving Yanmen Pass from Daizhou, and they do not need to spend a lot of time to get back to Fuzhou and Daizhou."

Li Qianshun's face was gloomy, and he asked Brother Richard: "Prince Jin, is there any latest information from Linzhou?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no latest information on Linzhou. After the Song Army took over Linzhou, they only repaired Linzhou City, and the same was true for Fuzhou. This is the result of our many investigations."

Li Qianshun fell into deep thought.

Brother Richard said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. It's winter now. Even if the Song Army takes action, they won't choose this time. We still have plenty of time. Don't forget, after so many years, I, Daxia, will not choose this time." It’s not what it used to be, there are enough armored troops in the Hengshan area.”

Li Qianshun didn't know that Zhao Guan's family was already raising money to exterminate Xia.

The fourth day of November, Fugu.

Wu Jie was comforting the injured girl in Wenrou Village when he was suddenly forcibly called out by Guo Hao.

After he put on his clothes and went out, Guo Hao said: "Wu Shuai, we are all waiting for you!"

"Oh, let's go."

Wu Jie arrived at the meeting hall.

Wei Xiang said: "Wu Shuai, there is a very important matter to discuss today."

"Let's talk." Wu Jie sat down in the middle, picked up the hot tea on the table and started to eat.

"We have settled down in this area, this area, and this area, built cities, and pushed towards the hinterland of Xixia." Wei Xiang pointed at the map and said.

The places he was referring to were the areas east of Hengshan.

Yinzhou is now in the hands of Liu Qi, like a sharp sword standing on Hengshan, threatening Xixia's defense line at all times.

If Wu Jie also built a large area of ​​​​fortresses in this area, the Song army would encircle Xixia from the side and put the strongest place in Hengshan into a deadlock.
Chapter completed!
