Chapter 992 The Emperor Who Owns the Four Seas - Northern Beggar Yanxi

Zhao Ji did not comfort Su Che too much, but after Su Che requested the county for the third time, he appointed him as the Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, Duke of Wei, and was sentenced to Quanzhou and also in charge of Quanzhou Maritime Affairs Office.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the day of worshiping the Kitchen God.

Su Che, who had given up the seal, had not left Tokyo Bianliang yet, and Cai Jing, who succeeded, had not left Jiangning Mansion yet.

Therefore, the subordinate of the Secretariat of the Eastern Palace was led by the second prime minister Zhang Shangying during this period. However, Zhang Shangying's acting prime minister in the past few days was not at all happy.

Not only because he was not able to be promoted to prime minister after Su Che requested the county, but also had a hot mess to ask him, the temporary prime minister, to cook.

This mess is the protest of the Khitan He Zhengdan delegation!

Cai Jing deceived the throne of the left prime minister by singing a high-profile song, but the Khitan anger caused by this high-profile song requires Zhang Shangying, the right prime minister who is not as good as the left prime minister. If the handling is not done properly, whether it is angering the Khitan, causing war, cede land and paying compensation, or losing power and humiliating the country, it is enough for the censors of the Censorate to impeach Zhang Shangying from office.

Moreover, next February is the time for the imperial examination, and now the candidates who participated in the Ministry of Rites have gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture. If Zhang Shangying cannot handle the Khitan well, he may even cause a bus to be sent to the letter.

When Zhang Shangying thought of having to take the thunder for Cai Jing, he wanted to invite the county to send him out.

But it is too late to invite the county now, because the Khitan envoy, Yelu Chunri, the prime minister of the Southern Prefecture, formally protested to Du Chong yesterday. The reason for the protest was that the Song Dynasty invaded Gaochang, a vassal state of the Liao Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom asked the Song Dynasty to immediately retreat from the Gaochang Uighur territory unconditionally, and at the same time, it would also pay an additional 500,000 taels of silver to the Liao Dynasty.

Moreover, Yelu Chun also threatened that if the Song Dynasty rejected the request of the Liao Dynasty, the Daliao heavenly soldiers would go south to question the crime.

In fact, the Song Dynasty did not really station troops in Gaochang Uighurs, and gave the Zhao surname to Pugupika, and granted the Great Protectorate of Beiting, which was all empty. Even if you give up, there would be no loss to the Song Dynasty. And 500,000 taels of silver is not a big money for the current Song Dynasty. Just counting the gold and silver extortions from Ji Yi from the Great Food Kingdom, the Tianzhu Kingdom, and the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, it would be almost more than 10 million taels.

The Liao Kingdom was only 500,000 taels in panic, which was really similar to "begging". Compared with Zhao Ji, Yelu Yanxi was a beggar emperor... Alas, in fact, the little money from the Grassland Empire was a joke in the eyes of the Ocean Empire and could not be considered money.

But the question is, do you want face?

The memorials jointly issued by Ji Yi and Su Shi can be said that the Western Great Roman Kingdom, the Roman Church, the Venetian Republic, the Great Food Kingdom, the Purgatory Kingdom, the Poria, the Three Buddhas, the Zhenla Kingdom, the Champaign Kingdom, etc., should we jointly support the Song Dynasty officials to be the emperor who owns all over the world!

This is so awesome!

It is equivalent to the specifications that Li Shimin accepted the support of the grassland tribes and called the Dengli Khan (Tengri Khan, Tian Khan). Zhang Shangying also asked the official who knew Turkic language and knew that this title was Genghis Khan in the language of the Turkic or the grassland area. It sounded very powerful...

Zhao Ji's title of "Tian Khan" is not formal, so he can only be called to play. Because he has no support from Wanbang, he just talks about himself. Moreover, Zhao Ji is not Li Shimin's heir, so why is Khan that day? There is no legal basis at all.

But this emperor or Genghis Khan who owns all over the world is real! He is really supported by all overseas nations, and the Navy of the Song Dynasty is now awesome, and he has snatched back more than 10 million! It is more than Li Shimin snatched back then.

But the problem is that the navy can only grab it at sea and cannot go to the prairie.

So Zhang Shangying is in a dilemma!

If you don’t agree to the Khitans, what should you do if someone calls him?

Gao Qiu and Zhang Yuan, among the four generals, both said they should be cautious... They probably have no confidence in winning.

Although Wu Haogu's breasts were very loud, he said he was not afraid. But Zhang Shangying didn't know Wu Haogu's thoughts? The Ministry of Revenue and the Hebei Transportation Commission still owed him military expenses!

If you want the Hebei Xuanfu Department to plan resistance, you must give enough funds to form the four general infantry and the two general cavalry?

In fact, it doesn’t take much. It is enough to divide half of the money Ji Yi “snatched”. But can I give this money? Isn’t it equivalent to Wu Haogu having 6 full members?

Moreover, the Khitan may not necessarily invade from Hebei. Everyone knows that invading from Hebei is not good for the Khitan. Jiehe Shangshi has become a monster that hates and loves both the Liao and Song dynasties, so invading from Hedong is the most beneficial...

But Tao Jiefu has no confidence at all!

But if we agree to the Khitan, then the face of the official family will be thrown overseas? Are you still embarrassed to call Genghis Khan?

In addition, there are also the impeachment of the Censorate and the envoys' letters on the bus!

Zhang Shangying thought to himself: Why don’t you hire a county immediately? He is very old and has poor health. He has always been palpitations recently. He must be sick, but he must be an emergency...

Zhao Ji was also concerned about the relationship between Song and Liao, and he knew that Zhang Shangying was helpless. So he skipped him and asked Zhang Shuye, who was ordered to participate in the Chongzheng Hall's political discussion, and said: "Will there be a new report in the general military computer room of the three Xuanfu Departments in Hebei, Hedong and Northwest?"

Uncle Zhang replied at night, "Hebei General Military Computer Room reported yesterday that Yuanyangluo, north of Yanshan, found an unknown number of Liao Dynasty palace soldiers stationed."

Yuanyanglu is located north of Yanshan Mountain. Xijing Road, which belongs to the Liao Kingdom, is under the jurisdiction of Shengzhou. It has abundant water and grasslands around it, and the climate is warmer than the grasslands in the northern desert. Moreover, its geographical location is very favorable. It can attack both the Hedong of the Song Kingdom in the southwest and the Hebei of the Song Kingdom in the southeast. In several southward invasions in the history of the Liao Kingdom, all of them have gathered troops in Yuanyanglu. After reaching the Chanyuan Alliance, concentrating troops in Yuanyanglu became a means for the Khitans to put pressure on the Song Dynasty.

But this time, it's hard to say whether the pressure is applied...

After all, the Song Dynasty made a fortune overseas this time and made more than 10 million! Yelu Yanxi came to ask for 500,000 taels of silver, which was not too much, right? If Zhao Ji not only refused to give the money, but also stopped the original 500,000-year-old monies, and Yelu Yanxi didn't fight, it would be a loss of face.

"Will the Liao people go south right away?" Zhao Ji asked.

"The General Military Office of the Hebei Xuanfu Department believes that it will not go south soon." Zhang Shuye said, "Because the Liao people are not sure of winning, they will not easily tear their faces. They may approach the border when His Majesty meets Wanbang's envoy and take the title of Genghis Khan and extort money."

"Just want money?" Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

If you just want money, it is not impossible to negotiate... You can't give it openly, but secretly, you can give it 1.5 million taels! As long as you don't lose face, you can safely and steadily put the title of Emperor Laushizi Genghis.

Oh, there will be Feng Taishan afterwards. Zhao Ji Chang, who has never left the territory of Kaifeng Prefecture in Dalian, just took advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Genghis to go out for a trip.

Anyway, with two "pirates" Wu Haogu and Ji Yi, it should not be difficult to get an extra 1.5 million taels of silver.

Zhang Shuye replied: "It should be mainly for money. The General Army of the Hebei Xuanfu Office also reported that the Liao Kingdom has also planned to train a new army recently, so it is urgently needed money, so the Liao people should just want some money."

It turned out that Yelu Yanxi was not willing to sit still and wait for death. After seeing that the Song Dynasty had compiled a relatively capable new army through military reforms, Yelu Yanxi also planned to follow suit and select a new army of guards from the palace tents to train and equipment according to the standards of the Western Liang cavalry.

However, it costs money to form a new army, and the finances of the Great Liao Kingdom have suffered serious difficulties due to too many monks and the diverting of the Silk Road on the land.

...

The information in the General Military Office of the Hebei Xuanfu Office was delayed. There were no telegrams these days, so it was impossible to conduct timely communication. Moreover, it was a troublesome to reconnaissance in Yuanyanglu. This place is a big prairie and not a commercial port. It is difficult for Lin Chong's spies to get close to to find the latest information.

So "Boss Lin" didn't know that the one who arrived at Yuanyang was not the ordinary Liao Dynasty palace soldiers, but Yelu Yanxi's personal guards.

The imperial tent of the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty is now standing next to the mandarin ducks, on the grassland covered with ice and snow.

"More than ten million, more than ten million...it's still real money!"

In the imperial tent of the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, Yelu Yanxi threw Yelu Chun's memorial on the imperial desk, almost gritting his teeth and talking.

"I only asked for 500,000 yuan from the Southern Dynasty in a year, and half of it was silk. Why did Zhao Ji speak more than 10 million yuan? Isn't that too cruel?"

Yelu Yanxi thought since childhood that his family was the number one overlord in the world, and he charged 500,000 yuan every year for protection fees alone! He was very proud of his face!

Now, Zhao Ji, the powerful and powerful monarch, extorted more than 10 million at a time... He has not been extorted so much for thirty years! Compared with Zhao Ji, he is not the overlord at all, he is just a beggar.

The even more annoying fool Yelu Chun actually took the initiative to ask the Song Dynasty to pay an extra 500,000 yuan in annual monies at one time... and he also proudly gave himself a memorial! Is he brainy? Zhao Ji opened his mouth for more than 10 million. You, Yelu Chun, representing the Liao Dynasty, only dares to ask for 500,000 yuan. Isn’t this still a beggar?

I am not an emperor of the Northern Dynasty at all, I am just a beggar at all. I will forget it if I call him a northern beggar in the future.

"As the saying goes, we have to pay half of the meeting. Now the Southern Dynasty has extorted a lot of money from overseas. If we don't know, we have to pay one or two million, right? Yelu Chun actually only has 500,000 yuan, and he really can't do business!"

Hearing Yelu Yanxi’s complaints, several Khitan ministers in the tent thought: It would be great if they could cost more than 500,000!

The Song Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty of the past. Not only does it have an "invincible fleet" on the sea, but there are also four famous generals on the land, which have destroyed the two major powers of Xixia and Karakhan.
