The storm of the sea east is dangerous, and the Jurchen army, with a population of up to 3,000, has set off from Dingzhou of Goryeo and rushed towards the tens of thousands of Biewu Ban army in Xijing Pyongyang, Goryeo under the leadership of their Duboji Lie Wanyan Wuyashu!

An unprecedented disaster is about to come to the Goryeo people and the bureaucratic landlord class!

In Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of the Song Dynasty thousands of miles away, the Song Dynasty's monarchs who had just obtained temporary peace with a "no cede land, no compensation" armistice agreement, suddenly discovered that they were on the verge of a war they did not want at all.

Just when Wu Haogu finally made up the budget for the expedition to Goryeo (it was a budget, not a money. Wu Haogu's large capitalist Republican did not have money on the books of Tianjin Bank, but implemented strict budget management and could not spend the savings that he had finally saved up). He could order eight or nine thousand soldiers (not counting the navy), dozens of warships and transport ships, and fought toward Goryeo to establish a combat friendship with Wanyan Wuyashu. He did not forget to let Yang Jian inform the court of the "Sea Alliance".

That's right, it's the alliance between the Jin and the Liao, which was said to have ruined the Northern Song Dynasty. Wu Haogu does not intend to learn from historical lessons now, but is still preparing to join the Jurchen alliance to destroy Liao!

This is the opposite of his initial idea of ​​maintaining the Liao Kingdom's resistance to the Jurchens, but even if people travel through time, they must keep pace with the times!

Because he had seen through the weakness of the Liao Kingdom. Do you have the soy sauce soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens could destroy the Liao Kingdom. Even if the Jurchens were not strong enough, there were Hebule of the Menggu tribe and Huerzhahusi of the Kelie tribe. Oh, now there is an honorable, progressive, democratic and scientific Youzhou Republic regime. How could the Liao Kingdom not perish?

Since the Liao Kingdom will surely perish, it is not a problem to connect the Jin and Meng. The current problem is just what conditions to use to connect the Jin and Meng...

In Chongzheng Hall, Yang Jian, who was guessing that he was going to take the map of the heroes of Wuzhou, was talking endlessly about the possibility of joining forces with the Jurchens to destroy the Great Liao and recovering the lost land in Hedong.

"... The presided over the Hushui Wanyan tribe of the Wanyan tribe who claimed to be from the Wang family of Langya, and was the descendant of the calligraphy saint Wang Xizhi. Therefore, he has always admired the cultural scenery of our Song Dynasty. In the past, it was only because of the oppression of the Khitans that he was isolated from Middle Earth and gradually became a barbarian. Now they plan to restore contact with the Central Plains through the sea after obtaining the land of the east and west of the Goryeo Kingdom, and are willing to submit to our Song Dynasty. Therefore, the King of Yan submitted a memorial before the cross-sea expedition to Goryeo, hoping that the court could enthrone the leader of the Jurchen tribe alliance, and that they would become kings, the Great Protector of the Northeast, and the governor of the Haidong Jiedu. In this way, the Jurchen tribe alliance, which was brave and good at fighting and was said to be invincible, will become a vassal of the Song Dynasty. With their help, the court would defeat the Khitan and recover Hedong, and it would be easy for the loss of land in Yunzhong to be lost!"

Yang Jian finally finished speaking, and the monarch and ministers in the hall were stunned. The huge Chongzheng Hall was quiet.

If Wu Haogu could have packaged the Jurchen tribe alliance as the "King of the Song Dynasty" and brought it to the treacherous lords and treacherous ministers of Kaifeng Prefecture a year earlier, it would have been a singular praise. Zhao Ji would definitely feel good, and he would have been able to give Wu Haogu a title.

But now, the tyrant ministers finally realized a terrible fact that the arrogant soldiers and generals who can win big battles are not something that the court can control!

Even civil officials who can win big battles are not reliable!

It is certainly easy to defeat the Khitan and recover Hedong. It is natural that the loss of territory in Yunzhong will be like a backhand. Just let Wu Haogu be the governor of Yunzhong, and let Zhang Yuan be the governor of Shuofang and Hedong be the governor of Hedong.

There were strong soldiers from the northwest and Youzhou to capture Yunzhong and Hedong, and there was no need for the imperial court to send troops.

But what should we do next? After obtaining the three towns of Yunzhong, Hedong and Shuofang, Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan all had elite soldiers in the world.

Is this world going back to the chaotic world where "will the emperor have a good fortune, and those with strong soldiers and horses do it?"

Now, without the approval of the court, Wu Haogu has joined forces with the Jurchens to fight against the friendly neighbor of the Song Dynasty, Goryeo, to start a war. If the court followed Wu Haogu's intention, he would have conferred the Jurchens as kings, the Great Protector of the Northeast, and the governor of Haidong, wouldn't it allow Wu Haogu to get another strong support?

If the Liao Kingdom is really destroyed by Wu Haogu and the Jurchens, Yunzhong, northeastern He, and even part of the territory of the Liao Kingdom Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road will be classified as belonging to Wu Haogu? At that time, Wu Haogu's population and land will have to be several times higher.

At that time, Wu Haogu will be capable of military strength, sufficient food and vast land. Who in the world can defeat him?

"Your Majesty, I think it is very inappropriate to jointly give birth to the Jurchens by the King of Yan." Cai Jing finally broke his silence and was the first to go out to report, "Our dynasty is a country of etiquette. We should abide by trust and righteousness and not be deceived by small profits. Now our dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are discussing peace with the Liao Kingdom, and we have just reached a ceasefire. How can we betray our faith and win over the subordinates of the Liao Kingdom?

Moreover, the Jurchens are known to be invincible, which shows that their bravery is far better than the Khitan. If the Jurchens rise up in the Khitan and rule the Northern Dynasties, the disaster will only be even worse than the Khitan. If the Khitan is a hungry wolf on the grassland, then the Jurchens will undoubtedly be a tiger in the deep mountains and forests. How can we join forces with the tiger to fight the wolf?"

Right Prime Minister He Zhizhong also reported: "Your Majesty, what Cai Jing said is very good. There is no such thing as leading tigers to kill wolves in the world. Wolves can fight, and tigers cannot resist. Moreover, the court has fought fiercely with the Khitan since last year. Hebei and Hedong were almost white land, with officers and soldiers suffering heavy casualties, people were displaced, and the national treasury was even less than enough. The wealth accumulated over the years since Yuanfeng was now left. According to Hebei, the Hedong Transportation Commission reported that all the states under the jurisdiction of the two routes were poorly harvested, and the summer and autumn taxes that could be collected were only 20 to 30% last year. Dingzhou Road and Zhending Prefecture in Hebei were almost without taxes. Hedong Road had not yet fallen into Fenzhou among the various prefectures, and Jinzhou reduced its revenue by 90%. The states under the jurisdiction of Linfu Road also reduced their revenue by more than 70%. Therefore, the two routes of Hedong and Hebei Transportation Commissions urgently needed the court to allocate money and grain to supply military supplies.

In addition, due to the war in Hebei and Hedong, it is difficult for the common people to live, so they fled to the sky. Gyeonggi Road, Jingdong Road, Jingxi North Road and other places reported a large number of refugees influx. Outside Kaifeng Prefecture, there are now refugees everywhere and urgently need relief from the imperial court. However, the national treasury is empty and the imperial court cannot provide much money and food..."

After hearing He Zhizhong's report, Zhao Ji's tears were almost over. In a peaceful and prosperous era with a lot of money, why did he feel like a fall apart in the end in a blink of an eye?

After the death of He Zhi's death, it was Wu Juhou, the Privy Council Officer. Because the Song-Liao War was not going well, the court had to find a scapegoat. The Dujun Ji, founded by Wu Haogu, took the blame. Not long ago, was abolished, and the Privy Council once again took the blame.

However, the Privy Council cannot bring any good news to Zhao Ji.

"Your Majesty, the Xuanfu Department of Hebei and Hedong have all reported to the territory for training, and the rebels have risen. The quality is mixed, and there are many people who built forts, occupied the mountain dangerous places, and occupied good people, and collected taxes. Some people openly expelled the officials of the court, plundered the official warehouses, and occupied the county town. What they did was no different from Youzhou and Hexi!

What's more, some regiment leaders openly accepted official positions from the Liao Kingdom or Youzhou Army!"

Wu Haogu seemed to have a big and small trick on Zhao Ji! The group training he promoted in Hebei Xuanfu was now showing signs of losing control.

There are many landlords and bullies in Hebei and Hedong who took advantage of the opportunity to form a group to fight against Liao, gathered up their teams, occupied the mountaintops, and became local emperors. Especially in the Taihang Mountains and Luliang Mountains between the military dividing lines of the Song and Liaoning, the phenomenon of group separatist has become serious.

Most of the major cities in that area were occupied by the Khitans, but in the mountainous areas, the Song Dynasty's tutors took the opportunity to rise up, occupying the power vacuum after the Song Dynasty's government withdrew. They each occupied the mountains and land and dominated the country. There was even a group leader who was active in searching for organizations everywhere. The serious Song Dynasty government did not allow them, so they went to Khitan to go to Youzhou.

Yelu Yanxi and Wu Haogu also refused to accept everyone. They threw away their hats from short officials, and they would not pay any salary anyway.

After hearing one bad news after another, Zhao Ji was almost collapsed. But what could it be? There is nothing we can do!

He was silent for a while before sighing heavily: "I know the request from Wu Haogu."

Just "know" and without saying that they agree or agree, the matter was put on hold.

Wu Haogu will join the alliance on the sea, and the Song Dynasty will not participate. Anyway, the Khitans now know that Youzhou is the "third party" and Hexi is the "fourth party".

Yang Jian understood what Zhao Ji meant, so he had to bow and retreated from the Chongzheng Hall where the king and his ministers discussed affairs.

Seeing Yang Jian leave, Zhao Ji sighed again: "You guys, what about the country's use? Do you have any way to deal with it?"

Cai Jing and He Zhizhong looked at each other. Now the military reform of the Song Dynasty can be said to be completely failed! It was the practice of linking land and military service that gave birth to the two major vassal states of Youzhou and Hexi. If the original mercenary system was still in the original mercenary system, Wu Haogu's nearly 80,000 troops (including the army and navy and subordinate capital Guanzhou, as well as the civilians of Shangshi), who sat still all year round, would have to spend millions or tens of millions of dollars. How could Wu Haogu afford it? Not to mention the poor man Zhang Yuan in Hexi, he had 15,000 knights!

Under the extreme mobilization, at least 30,000 knight soldiers and the same number of auxiliary soldiers, 60,000 troops, one man and two horses... Such soldiers need to be raised by the imperial court, and tens of millions of war horses alone can be tens of millions, and sixty thousand horse soldiers can't sit at home without seven or eight million.

It seems that the family rules of our ancestors cannot be changed and abolished!
