Chapter 168: Severe

The Great Liao Kingdom was over as scheduled. Will the Song Dynasty be far away? At this moment, the Song Dynasty is already full of holes and has become a beautiful picture that is hard to restore...

God wants to destroy it, so he must first make it crazy. After entering the Xuanhe period, the Song Dynasty suffered frequent natural disasters, and earthquakes occurred in Tokyo, Xihe, Hebei and other places, and even the palace city was shaking. Jingdong, Hebei, Liangzhe and other roads

In the face of a major flood, the people could only eat tree bark, wild vegetables, and even people were eating people. The government did not provide relief and continued to impose taxes. In order to support the Northern Expedition, Wang Fu levyed violent taxes and asked the people to pay waived money within a time limit, 6,200

If there is any disobedience, the law will be executed according to military law.

Liu Yanqing, who defeated himself without fighting, did not practice military law, and did not practice military law against the officials who harmed the people, but used military law to kill poor people. This was also a precedent for the Song Dynasty. The Northern Expedition also exhausted the last point of the Song Dynasty.

The essence and blood, the military reserves accumulated since Xining and Yuanfeng have been exhausted, and the Zuozang Deposit and the treasury of various prefectures are empty.

The severity of taxes led to the rise of the people of the Song Dynasty and the rampant thieves. The most combative Western Army was exhausted in the two northern expeditions. Although there were many imperial guards, their combat effectiveness was too weak to be settled by force, and they could only be pacified. There were rumors in the past folk songs:

He wanted to get rich and was selling wine and vinegar; now he added a half sentence, and wanted to get officials and kill people and set fire to get recruited! But after being recruited, he was unable to settle down, and many places were rebelled again.

The regaining of Yanjing once made the people of the Song Dynasty proud, and countless people were crazy about it, but after the clouds passed, everyone found that Yanjing was like a huge black hole, which was crazy about absorbing the wealth of the Song Dynasty and becoming their huge burden. In terms of economy,

I'm overwhelmed.

The food crisis was the first, and even military rations were difficult to supply. Guo Yaoshi, the Yanshan Prefecture, had more than 100,000 troops. The team was growing and needed more than 100,000 hu of grain per month. All were transported from Hedong and Hebei, and the roads were based on the people.

It is difficult to move, and often stop the silence. The officers and soldiers plunder wealthy families, block the road and rob other troops of food, grass and money. The rich people had to flee to the stables, Bashu and Jiangnan, and the poor people became even worse.

In order to check and balance the Changsheng Army, Tong Guan and Cai You recruited Yan Yun’s powerful people, organized them into Zhongsheng Army, and used the grain army. There were more than 200,000 people, but the government had no money and rice, so the more than 200,000 people left on their own

When the Jin army entered Youyun, the Han people in Yanjing fled south to the Song territory in order to avoid the looting of the Jin army. They received relief from the local government, but because

The grain was called in large quantities, and there was no overnight food in Hedong and Hebei...

After the Jin Dynasty exchanged the six prefectures of Yanjing, it formed a military and political ruling center in Yanyun, which actually caused the military situation of the east and west attacking the Song Dynasty. The east route was Wanyan Han, in fact, was in charge of the actual presidency.

, control the Pingzhou area within the pass. The Privy Council was set up and the Han official Liu Yanzong and other commissions were taxed and managed. The troops were elite soldiers directly controlled by the Jin royal family, and they could conquer Wanyan Maofu, who were used to fighting.

Two seeds of the temple?br/>

The Western Route Army that controlled Fengshengzhou, Yunnei and Tiande areas was headed by Wanyan Zonghan, with Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Xiyin as the deputy, and the military power was very strong. However, Wanyan Zonghan was not satisfied and believed that the military was still strong.

Inadequate and without administrative management, he asked Wu Qimai to increase his troops again and demand administrative management powers. In fact, Wanyan Zonghan wanted to gain greater power and divide Wanyan Han's inseparable army.

Wu Qimai didn't want people to criticize him, saying that he was snobbish and deprived his nephew of military power before his body was cold. Therefore, he did not agree to Wanyan Zonghan's request. First, he was alert to his greed, and second, he was forced to palace. Things are dissatisfied, thus limiting their power.

But Wu Qimai still satisfied that Zong Han had the power to increase troops and grant officials. He also set up the Privy Council on the West Road, so he was in love with the main affairs of the West Road to manage all the affairs of the West Road. Zong Han's power has increased, and His ambitions became more and more expanded. People at that time called the Eastern Court and the Western Court. The formation of these two heavy troops was obviously not to protect the Jin capital Shangjing, nor to defend the Northeast, but to consolidate the rule and deal with the newly occupied area. The Song Dynasty regime.

Xixia has always been an important ally of the Liao Kingdom, and Li Ganshun has always adhered to his friendship with Liao Kingdom, and has been unswervingly and has made things difficult for him to save him. Of course, this loyalty is not so pure, but purposeful, one is used to fight against the Song Dynasty, and another On the one hand, I want to expand my territory east of the Yellow River. Now that Yelu Yanxi is captured and the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, Xixia has lost the excuse to send troops to the Liao Kingdom. We must find new reasons for existence and fight for greater interests. !

With the actions of Xixia, making peace with the Jin Kingdom became one of the few choices, so that they could gain more benefits from the Jurchens and find new backers to fight against the Song Dynasty among the two major powers. Looking for a new balance, the Xixia reversal of the Jurchens would inevitably lead the Song Dynasty to be attacked from both sides and had to face the dilemma of fighting on both sides.

Zhao Qiong thought a lot when he got Yelu Yanxi's capture. The battle between Song and Jin was not possible, but inevitable. The most dangerous place in the Song Dynasty was not only Hebei and Yanjing Prefecture, but also Hedong was the first to be hit. In order to realize the plan of the country to attack Song from the east and west, Xijing Road in Liao will become the starting point for the outbreak of the war.

Now Xijing is still having a lot of fun in fighting for power and profit. If Yelu Yanxi makes trouble, who will be the emperor in the West Stable, no matter how it is, it will be a "copycat". Zhao Qi is not worried, and the more he is doing it, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is, the more he is OK, it will only make them move closer to themselves. But now it is different. War is coming, and there are no multiple sounds in Xijing. What he needs is a consistent pace...

In this case, Zhao Jie could not continue playing. He made a quick decision to enter Shuozhou and Yingzhou in advance and approached Xijing secretly. Once the negotiations failed, he was ready to cooperate with the Kru Army to seize the prefectures and counties in Xijing at any time. If you take over the West Stable strongly, it will be a bloody storm.

Zhao Qi didn't want to do this. He knew that the Yanyun Land is no longer Yanyun a hundred years ago. Even his unreliable father knew that he had won over Yelu Yanxi, although he used inappropriate means. I also know that the guards of Yanyun prefectures are basically from the original Liao Kingdom, and are confused and helpless, facing the fate of being collectively moved. If the Song Dynasty reached out to pull a hand in time and then played Yelu Yanxi's family affection card, the situation is What will it become? Without exception, they will surrender to the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Qie did not want to use excessive means to deal with Xijing. He first made an appointment with Yelu Yuhuan, explained his true identity and the current situation, and expressed his attitude to him. Although Yelu Yuhuan was great to Zhao Qie, he was very good at Song Dynasty. The prince was a little surprised, but not surprising. He had already understood how a young man from a noble family had such great energy to support an army of tens of thousands of people and had so many powerful generals, but he did not expect It's because Zhao Qi is a prince.

Yelu Yuhuo had long lost confidence in the Great Liao Dynasty. He was only happy about the capture of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao, and would never think about saving him. He surrendered to the Jurchens first and then rebelled, and defeated them several times.

They made Aguda lose his personal expedition and lose his troops. No matter how generous the Jurchens are, they would probably not forgive him. There is only one way left for him. Besides, Zhao Er treats him well, so he has no reason not to rely on him.

After the two discussed, they decided to take action to clean up the mess, so there was a case of Yelu Yuhu leading his troops into the city. Facing the aggressive Dezhou army, everything was a bluff. None of the forces could fight against each other, and the marriage was also

They lost the possibility of joining hands again, and could only wait for Yelu Yuhuan's ruling!

Zhao Qi didn't leave many choices for them!

First, maintain the status quo of Xijing Road and maintain relative independence. It is still nominally part of Liao. It retains the old Khitan officials, continues the old system, and retains the title and treatment of the original royal nobles, but the premise is to comply with Zhao Qiong's instructions.

The best strategy is that Zhao Qi can still control the regime remotely without completely exposing his identity and maintaining the relative stability of Xijing.

Second, return to Song, and the Song Dynasty fully accepts Xijing Road, so there will be no such good things. The princes and nobles can only be sent to Songdu as prisoners of war. Their fate is not something that Zhao Qi can decide. Officials everywhere

Sent by the Song government. This is the worst strategy, but it is actually a lose-lose style of fighting. However, when the enemy is in front of Zhao Qi, he does not want different voices.

"Several princes should marry. It would be great to be a prince like Zhao. Why bother involved in the right and wrong of Xijing? It also hurts the brothers' feelings!" Zhao Qi explained the current situation and treated Yelu Yali and others.

The three princes said.

"Is my Great Liao gone?" Yelu Yali said sadly. His father's capture and destruction of the Liao Kingdom made him very sad.

"How can I say it's gone? The West is actually from your Yelu family, but the princess is just the regent of the emperor, so as not to cause attacks from all parties. When the time is ripe, we can discuss it again!" Zhao Qi smiled and said, he was still

Hope they accept their advice.

"Then we will become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, and we will surrender to you!" King Yelu Ding of Qin asked Zhao Qi as if he was still worthy of beating.

"Your Highness King Qin, if you want to leave Xijing and revitalize the great power of the Great Liao Dynasty, I will not stop you and you can leave with your subordinates at any time. The Jurchens will welcome you to fight with them!" Zhao Qiong didn't think so, and smiled.

He said with a smile.

"I... I will consider Prince Yan's suggestion again!" Yelu Ding wanted to be tough in front of Zhao Qi, but when he spoke, he lost confidence and said embarrassedly.

"What is your plan for Your Highness Xu? You can tell me what conditions you have!" The two of you temporarily stopped talking, and Zhao Qi looked at Yelu Ning and asked.

"I will listen to the two brothers!" King Xu Yelu Ning looked at the two brothers and said, "He is the weakest, even if the Liao Dynasty is not destroyed, it is not his turn to do so. "In fact, Prince Yan has a very good idea, too."
