Wu Haogu told Li Gang one by one his true words.

Li Gang frowned deeply when he heard this. His strengths were to manage academics, engage in diplomacy, not to use troops to fight. He didn't know much about the situation in the north. He thought that after Wu Haogu destroyed millions of Liao soldiers, he would become the overlord of the north, and then he would lead troops to the south, pacify the Central Plains, and conquer all directions, and then create a powerful empire that was better than the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Li Gang asked: "Are Menggu, Jurchen, Tatar, and Zubu and other barbarians stronger than the Republican Army?"

"The strength of the barbarians is certainly not as good as that of the Republican Army, but they occupy vast and cold lands, which are floating and difficult to capture. If the Republican army advances north, they will use the advantage of geographical advantage and number of horses to deal with me. They will waste my food and retreat until my troops are exhausted. If my army goes south and the border is empty, they will wait for an opportunity to go south to Yanliao and rob and slaughter.

If the barbarians such as Menggu, Jurchen, Tatar, Bubu, Khitan, etc. were swallowed up and even unified, the barbarians and other sexes would probably be less than 400,000 tents. Youzhou and Liaodong may be able to support them, but Hexi, Shuofang, and Hedong will definitely not be able to withstand it. By then, there will be a chaos in the world!

Therefore, I built a republic in Yan and Liao, not for the wealth of each family, but for the country and the people, to protect Yan and Liao, and for the peace and happiness of the people of the Central Plains."

After hearing Wu Haogu's words, Li Gang pondered for a moment, suddenly stood up, bowed to Wu Haogu solemnly: "The great thing about Confucianism is to serve the country and the people, and it is Mr. Yuntai. Please accept a greeting from the students! In the future, students are willing to follow the teacher and do their best to serve the republic of the world!"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "If you can get Bo Ji's assistance, why worry about the great cause of republic? In the future, we will work together to protect the Yanliao gateway for the country and the people."

...

After talking to Li Gang, Wu Haogu went to his brother Wu Haowen's house again. Wu Haowen had recovered some energy, ate some food, and became much more energetic.

After the two brothers met, they looked at each other silently in a quiet room. Wu Haogu looked at the brother who had lost a lot of weight due to the hard work of the journey and suddenly smiled faintly: "Second brother, are you still doing these days?"

Wu Haowen said: "Hello! Bianliang is rich and prosperous, why not worry?"

The relatives of the Northern Song Dynasty were in the eyes of civil officials who came from the imperial examination, and they were probably the ones who had lunch.

A young man with good martial arts and literature succeeded. He was originally the future of recommending the two palaces, but now he has become a relative who is living a life of scattered life and waiting to die...

Wu Haogu looked at his brother, smiling.

What’s wrong with being a noble person? What’s wrong with being a noble person? I worked hard to guard the Yanliao land, but it was cheaper for these noble persons to enjoy leisurely. It’s a loss to think about it.

"You go and tell the officials that I will not be the emperor." Wu Hao Ancient Road, "I was in Yan and Liao, not for my own country, but for the sake of the people in the world. This country cannot be supported by one family and one surname, and must be supported by hundreds of thousands of citizens. Therefore, it can only be a republic!"

"Then what are you doing?" Wu Haowen asked, "Are you still a minister of the Song Dynasty?"

Wu Haogu Yixiao: "I will not be a minister of the Song Dynasty. Since I have taken the national destiny of the Khitan, I will be the overlord of the northern land. Brother Yu planned to be the head of the republic."

"Chief of the Senate?"

"Yes, that's what it means." Wuhao Ancient Road, "The Republic respects the Senate, and the chief of the Senate is the natural leader."

Chief, Chief, it sounds like the Emperor is not as good as the Emperor...

Wu Haowen was a little disappointed. He was also a brother, so it was not good to be an emperor? He also made a big shot. What is it now? Nothing is nothing, he still has a huge relationship!

Seeing the disappointed expression flashing on Wu Haowen's face, Wu Haogu also sneered: "Second brother, is the official still planning to marry his daughter to Yong'er?"

"Well," Wu Haowen said, "The official family wants to marry Princess Qingde to Yong'er. The princess is the eldest daughter of the official family and Empress Zheng. She is virtuous and virtuous, beautiful and beautiful, and she is definitely worthy of righteousness and courage."

Zhao Ji's eldest wife, Empress Wang, had a miserable life and died of illness in the second year of Daguan. The imperial concubine Zheng was enthroned as the queen in October of the first year of Zhenghe. Princess Qingde Zhao Yupan was the eldest daughter born to her and Zhao Ji. Needless to say, her parents' genes are placed, so it is difficult to think of it.

"Where did Yi Yong live after his marriage?"

Wu Haowen said: "What the official family is talking about marriage, not Shang!"

If you marry a monk, the situation will be completely different if you marry a monk. If Zhao Yupan marrys Wu Yiyong, you have to follow Wu Yiyong, marry a chicken and follow a chicken, and marry a dog and follow a dog. If it is a princess Wu Yiyong, then it is a bit strong and a weak man. Wu Yiyong is so mean that he can give in to Zhao Yupan.

Wu Haowen said again: "Don't worry, I have seen Princess Qingde. With that look, Yi and brave will definitely like it. Moreover, most of the princesses in the Zhao family are well-educated and well-mannered, and they can satisfy Yi and bravery."

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "That's good, second brother, I am satisfied with this marriage. Go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law and then settle it. However, the sovereignty of the Republic is the people. The marriage between the righteous and the princess Qingde is not a marriage between the two countries. What is the relationship between the two countries? We should still make a long-term plan and enter into a treaty."

"Treaty?" Wu Haowen frowned, "Does the eldest brother want a sacred alliance?"

"There is no need." Wu Haogu smiled, "The Chanyuan Alliance is called the alliance between the two countries, but it is actually a shame for the Song Dynasty. Our Yan and Liao Kingdom was originally designed to block the Central Plains. How can it be called the Central Plains shame? However, the common people in our country are exhausted and have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which is indeed not enough to make ends meet."

You still have to ask for money!

"I want to give you a gift for you?" Wu Haowen asked.

"Not giving me every year," Wu Haogu smiled, "There are only two benefits, one is the right to free trade. Yanliao and Central Plains have completely opened trade, and there is no tariff agreement.

Second, half of the wealth in Yanliao relies on maritime trade. Maritime trade requires the mooring of ships at the commercial port. So I want to rent Jingdong Commercial City, a trade transfer port for Yanliao."

"What? Do you want to build a Jiehe Market again?" Wu Haowen's face suddenly darkened.

Wu Haogu smiled: "Even Jiehe Shang City, I only took half a county. Except for half of Qingchi County (it is indeed half a county, but just a state with an ordinary land area), have I ever taken half an inch of the land of the Song Dynasty?

And I wouldn’t waste half of Qingchi County and a Jingdong Concession. I can exchange the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture and Pingding Army in Hedong. I will exchange Taiyuan Prefecture and Pingding Army for one army in exchange for one army in Qingchi Ban County and Jingdong City. Isn’t the Song Dynasty not suffering a loss, right?”

"this……"

Wu Haowen thought: This is a good thing. Although the tax revenue of Taiyuan Prefecture and Pingding Army cannot be compared with that of Tianjin Banfu and Jingdong, its political and military significance is that half Tianjin and Jingdong City are incomparable. Moreover, Tianjin Prefecture has long been the territory of Wu Haogu!

If Wu Haogu could conquer Taiyuan Prefecture and pacify the army, it would be used to exchange Jingdong City, let alone renting it, it would be cost-effective even if it was ceased.

Wu Haowen asked again: "Brother, are you going to send troops to Hedong?"

Wu Haogu said: "Sending troops is only the worst strategy, and it is the best strategy to defeat others without fighting."

How to defeat others without fighting? Wu Haowen thought that the monarchs and ministers of this dynasty like to defeat others without fighting, but in the end they give them annual monarchs. It seems that they have been defeated, and they don’t know what tricks their brother has?

Of course, the tricks must be kept confidential... or it would be an international scandal that would damage the image of sages! Of course, Wu Haogu could not tell his brother the truth. Otherwise, Jingdong would not be able to cheat him on renting land.

In fact, Empress Xiao of the Liao Kingdom had long been preparing to give up Taiyuan Prefecture and the Pingding Army in exchange for an alliance with the Song Dynasty.

When we met in Ganzhou, Empress Dowager Xiao naturally told Wu Haogu about this plan, but Wu Haogu asked Empress Dowager Xiao to wait. He wanted to promote an alliance of three families and act as a mediator between the Song and Liao dynasties, and at the same time he exchanged for Jingdong Commercial City as the concession.

JD.com is a replica of Jiehe Shang City and the cradle of Youzhou Navy. On Yuzhou Island, which is across the sea from Shang City, there is a positivist holy place like Yuzhou Yuntai Academy. Of course, Wu Haogu must try his best to take it into his hands.

Wu Haowen nodded and said, "If the elder brother can really get the Khitans to return the Taiyuan Prefecture and Pingding Army, then renting Jingdong Shang City should not be a problem. It's just that the court must retain troops in Jingdong Shang City."

"Station of troops?" Wu Haogu laughed. This is just a self-deception. The Qing Dynasty still stationed troops in Jiulong City Walled City. Is it useful?

"Okay," Wu Haogu smiled, "JD.com Market is just a land for our country to the business community in the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty can naturally station troops. However, the shopping mall should include all Yuzhou Island."

Donghai County on Yuzhou Island has long been removed, and the jurisdiction of the island belongs to Yuntai Academy. Wu Haogu wanted to take Yuzhou Island, so it was naturally for the Yuntai Academy on the island. Although this academy has not developed as well as Tianjin Yuntai Academy in recent years, it has a profound foundation and is still one of the best universities in China and even the world.

The value of this university is not even below JD.com!

"As long as you can get it back to Taiyuan Prefecture, the court will always agree." Wu Haowen said carefully, "It's just the matter of becoming emperor. Will the elder brother really not consider it?"

...

Of course, you cannot consider becoming an emperor!

In Wu Haogu's view, the imperial ambition of the Han people ended in the Tang Dynasty. The era of rapid progress in human civilization may have just begun this time. The leap-forward progress of mankind seems to be caused by the "Confucianism Innovation" movement initiated by Wu Haogu.

The door to the new era has just opened a crack, so it is impossible for Chinese emperors who have reached the end to emerge and become a stumbling block to social progress!

Thinking about the great event of the development of the noble human civilization, Wu Haogu once again affirmed his position of not being an emperor. But when he returned to his residence, he learned a message from Murong Wangyou, who had been waiting there for a long time, that made him a little passive.

The elders gathered at Liaoyang Prefecture held an extraordinary meeting to unanimously elect Wu Haogu as the emperor who ruled Yan, Liao, Goryeo, Andong Prefecture and Nanyang Protectorate!
