Chapter 999 The Unbearable Yelu Yanxi
When the sound of shouting long live on the mountain outside Xuande Gate, in the Great Liao Kingdom thousands of miles away, the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi was furious in the big tent.
It turned out that Xiao Baoxian, who was sent to Jiehe Shangshi City to meet Wu Haogu secretly, came back in shame.
The money was not received, and he also brought back the bad news that the Song State had already committed a alliance.
The Chanyuan Alliance has been officially destroyed by the untrustworthy Song State. Most of the annual monies this year are not given, and the Song State is building a city south of the border river - the Juma River. This is blatantly violating the Chanyuan Alliance! At the same time, it also forced Yelu Yanxi to the edge of the cliff that had to fight.
As the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, he must be a robber who can take all the Khitans to grab things and receive protection fees. And he must be the largest thief in the world!
Because the grassland people he ruled, except for the few core Khitan tribes, were all fence-bearers. Whoever could take them to rob, would they support who would be the boss. If Zhao Ji was a better robber, then what would happen if everyone recognized Genghis Khan?
At that time in the Tang Dynasty, didn’t everyone recognize Li Shimin as the Denli Khan?
Although Zhao Ji is mostly not as capable as Li Shimin in war, his ability to steal money is worse than Li Shimin in fighting!
Here just sent someone to rob more than 10 million overseas, and there was another Zhao family preparing to rob in Tianzhu.
It turned out that he was in the Song Dynasty and was a little bit like a little bit about Zhao Qianshun, who was a little bit in the Liao Dynasty, and said that Zhao Zhongshun and Xiao Heda were in an uninhabited state in the eastern part of Persia (actually Afghanistan). Last winter, they occupied a wealthy city called Gazni (the old capital of the Gazni Dynasty), and grabbed a lot of treasures! It is also said that more than two thousand miles east of Gazni, there is a richer city of Lahar, which is located on a large plain similar to the Central Plains, and it is definitely a treasure land for the imperial family.
So Zhao Qianshun decided to return the bitter Hexi Corridor to Da Song, and he immediately led his troops to go to Tianzhu to grab money and territory...
What a prodigal son! Yelu Yanxi is so angry. How rich can Tianzhu be? He doesn't even want the Hexi Corridor... What a great place in the Hexi Corridor is, it's just a little worse than Nanjing Road in the Great Liao Kingdom. Zhao Qianshun, the prodigal son, actually wants to return it to the Song Dynasty!
If you want to give it to the Great Liao Kingdom, how can you give it to the Great Song Dynasty?
Could it be that Zhao Qianshun is really going to be a filial son for Zhao Ji now? Isn’t it just that half of the Indians were divided for him to rob? As for this way, even the land obtained by ancestors through a hundred battles was given to Zhao Ji?
But if you think about this matter carefully, Yelu Yanxi also felt a crisis. Zhao Qianshun seemed to be sincere to Zhao Ji... This shows that Zhao Qianshun and the entire Hexi Army really tasted the sweetness with Zhao Ji, and he grabbed wealth that he would never dare to imagine in that city of Gazni.
So now Zhao Ji is really even more kissable than his own father to Zhao Qianshun.
Will Zhao Qianshun be the last person to fall in love with Zhao Ji’s father?
"It's tolerant, who can't bear it!" Yelu Yanxi roared and ordered, "Transfer my will. The army will set sail south tomorrow. I will step into the Jiehe Shangcheng! I want to see if Emperor Zhao Ji, Genghis, dares to really lead the army in person!"
"What? Track the Pingjiehe Commercial Market?"
The loyal ministers of the Great Liao Dynasty in Yelu Yanxi's imperial tent were all cramped when they heard this!
How can a country like the eldest in the Song Dynasty not be flattened? Why does it have to be the Jiehe Commercial Market? Everyone has investment in Jiehe Commercial Market. Wouldn't it be a waste of money if it flattened?
Everyone's eyes were turned to Xiao Fengxian, the envoy of the Northern Privy Council. In the current Great Liao Dynasty, this gentleman was the most trusted by the emperor.
Moreover, his industry in Jiehe Market is quite large!
"Your Majesty, I think it's unnecessary to step on the Jiehe Market..." Xiao Fengxian considered the words, and he actually knew that it was impossible to step on the Jiehe Market.
Xiao Bao had already told him what was going on in Jiehe Market now. Not to mention that it was solid, at least it was difficult to attack the hard city. Moreover, the main body of Jiehe Market was south of Jiehe Market. The Liao soldiers may still have some strength on land, but they may not be able to defeat the Song army that "has the four seas" on the water.
However, this statement cannot be said to Yelu Yanxi. The Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty did not like to sing other people's opposites, especially the unpleasant and honest words such as the Great Liao army being a bit scumbag.
Xiao Fengxian smiled and said, "Jiehe Shangcheng City is a hen that can only lay golden eggs, and it is a hen that can run..."
"Can you run?" Yelu Yanxi said in confusion, "How should the market escape?"
Xiao Fengxian looked at Xiao Baoxian, and Xiao Baoxian immediately interrupted: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the foundation of Jiehe Commercial City is the sea, the Yuntai Academy, the craftsman, the merchant, gold, silver and wealth, not land and houses. As long as you load these things on the boat and go south with the wind, just find a good port where you can moor sea boats, you can open another commercial city."
He really knows Jiehe Market very well!
When this market first opened, it was based on trade in the Song and Liao dynasties. However, after nearly ten years of development, relying on the cheap raw materials of the Liao Kingdom (mainly wood, grain, wool and fur) and the Yuntai Academy, Jiehe Market's handicraft industry developed rapidly. Now it has become a major industrial and commercial city dominated by handicrafts such as shipbuilding, metallurgy, brewing, textiles, building materials, woodware, leather goods, papermaking, printing, etc.
In other words, Jiehe Market can be moved when it is absolutely necessary!
Moreover, because the Hailu Maritime Control Department controls powerful maritime power, it is indeed capable of moving the essence of Jiehe Market from the border of Jiehe River.
However, the Khitans may not be able to become the demolition team of Jiehe Shang City, and they do not have the strength.
"Then let them run away!" Yelu Yanxi was full of confidence. "I really have no choice but to escape from the sea, but the Song land south of the Border River will be trampled by our Great Liao warriors."
"But Your Majesty, Cangzhou is deserted, how can you compare to Shangjiehe Commercial Market!"
Xiao Baoxian was fooling Yelu Yanxi again. Cangzhou is not desolate at all now, with knights' manors and castles everywhere. If the Liao army wanted to fight one by one, I was afraid that the Khitans would suffer heavy casualties.
"What should I do?" Yelu Yanxi glared at his brother-in-law, "You can't let the Song people go like this, right?"
"Your Majesty can station in Xijin Prefecture, and then use heavy troops to oppress Jiehe Shang City, so that Wu Haogu can spend 3 million to eliminate disasters."
"Xiao Shumi (Xiao Bao was the chief minister of the Southern Court) is very good at this discussion!" Yelu Yan, who was in charge of the Southern Court of the Southern Court with Xiao Baoxian, immediately agreed, "If we can get 3 million yuan in life, our dynasty will have a lot of money, and the expenses of the new army of Suwei will be settled.
If Jiehe Market runs away, who should we ask for money? It can’t be the same as the Tonghe period in 22 years, right? Now the person in charge of the Song Dynasty is Emperor Genghis!"
The result of the Song-Liao War in the 22nd year of Tonghe was the Chanyuan Alliance! In that war, the Great Liao army did not perform very well. In the end, due to Song Zhenzong's weakness, he gave 300,000 yuan in annual monies.
But the current Song Dynasty official family is Zhao Ji, a powerful lord of the generation. He is known as Emperor Genghis and is a great man like Li Shimin...
Yelu Yanxi snorted: "Then order a hundred thousand troops to station troops in Xijin Prefecture City!
The remaining horses on Nanjing Road hope to raise large military food and grass, and do not let the supply be short of it."
...
The news that Yelu Yanxi was about to personally lead a 100,000 army into Xijinfu City was spread to Jiehe Market three days later.
This news was sent to Wu Haogu by Zhang Jue, a Nanjing Daoguan Advisor of the Liao Kingdom. Zhang Jue has been responsible for dealing with Jiehe Commercial City in recent years, and his official position has been promoted to Nanjing Daoguan Advisor. Moreover, he has a good relationship with Wu Haogu. He has also bought a house in Jiehe Commercial City and often visits the Wu family mansion in Gonghefang.
"What's going on?" Zhang Jue seemed very nervous and asked repeatedly in the study of the Wu family's mansion in Jiehe Shang City, "You Song Dynasty really want to attack Yanyun in the north?"
"Northern Expedition?" Wu Haogu asked with a smile, "Who did you hear?"
Zhang Jue stamped his feet, "Isn't this obvious! You stopped the annual monies, and the Song Dynasty officials also called Emperor Genghis Genghis... Will it be that they will send troops to Yan Yun next?"
Wu Haogu nodded with a smile, "So, is the powerful Yan Yun ready to raise an army to respond to the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty? According to the division of the Five Dynasties, there are fifteen states in Yan Yun? These are fifteen governors! How about it? Is there one in Zhang Yuan also?"
Zhang Jue was startled by Wu Haogu's words: "So quickly? So soon the Northern Expedition is coming? We are not ready!"
Wu Haogu smiled. He knew that except for Ma Zhi who was preparing carefully, the other Yan Yun heroes were busy making money. No one really believed that the Song Dynasty was about to go to the Northern Expedition.
After all, Song and Liao have been weak for more than a hundred years, so how can we say that it is reversed?
"Haha, it's not that fast." Wu Haogu smiled, "Don't worry... This time the Song Dynasty will not go north to Yanjing."
"That's good, that's good..." Zhang Jue said this, but the expression on his face was extremely solemn. He paused and said, "So how much money can you take out at most?"
"Money? Is the Zhang family in Pingzhou going to use money?" Wu Haogu asked with a smile.
"What? You can give it to the Emperor of the Great Liao!" Zhang Jue said, "Now the Emperor of the Great Liao is offering a price of 3 million!"
"If you don't give it, don't give it," Wu Haogu shook his head repeatedly, "I don't give a penny!"
"If you don't give it to it... Then Jiehe Market will be in a war!" Zhang Jue looked at Wu Haogu, "Even if you can defend it, you have to spend a lot of money and delay a lot of business, right?"
