Chapter 10 Bring Qin Hui to Fight Gold!

Please be in front and the troops behind!

The official Zhao Ji said clearly.

In Chongzheng Hall, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Kai, the envoy of the peace envoy and the Marshal of Hebei.

Of course, Zhao Kai didn't want to ask for peace from the Jin Kingdom. If he asked for peace, wouldn't it be a traitor to go north to fight against the Jin Kingdom? He was a chosen man, how could he do the stolen country and beg for mercy? However, Zhao Kai was still a little clever. He also knew that he had to unite Song Huizong now so as not to turn against the Song Dynasty's official family, who was forced to fight against the Jin Kingdom, immediately turned against him after leaving Tokyo City.

In addition, Zhao Kai also wanted to cheat millions of funds for peace from Song Huizong... As for peace, it is impossible to be empty-handed. He must give money to women!

"Father, my son knows my father's intentions." Zhao Kai smiled, "This is actually my son's intentions... We haven't tried to make peace with the Jin thieves now, how can we rush to escape? Compared to giving up the great Central Plains and escaping, even if you give up three million taels of silver a year and add the territory of Yanshan Prefecture, it is also very cost-effective.

Yanshan Mansion was not passed down by our ancestors of the Song Dynasty. It was the territory bought by the father from the Jin thieves. Now it is considered a loss. As for the annual monies of three million taels of silver...it is regarded as a wealth poison used to support the warriors of aborted gold thieves! Maybe after 20 or 30 years, the Jin thieves will be the same as the Khitan. Moreover, the Jin thieves took our silver and still had to buy our silk, satin, porcelain and lacquerware. The silver was passed in their hands, and they would eventually return to the Song Dynasty."

The matter of ceding land and paying money can be said so positively that the high-ranking officials in Chongzheng Hall do not know whether they should refute it?

After hearing these bastards, Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly, thinking: I haven't even tried ceasing land and paying money! Why did he think of abdicating and running away? He was so anxious!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji smiled and said to his son Zhao Kai: "The old saying goes: If you have a loyal minister, you will not destroy your country; if your father has a loyal son, you will not destroy your family...Sanlang, you are my loyal son! If you hadn't entered the palace to give advice, I am no longer the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five, and maybe you will destroy your country!"

His words may be sincere, or to coax Zhao Kai, the "criminal son" - the six hundred soldiers who are loyal to Zhao Kai are still guarding outside Chongzheng Hall!

"The father is too rewarded, this is the duty of a son to be a son." Zhao Kai really felt that his behavior of forcing his father to resist the Jin Dynasty was great filial piety, and he would definitely be able to be included in the "Book of Filial Piety" in the future.

After a few humble words, he changed his mind and asked Zhao Ji, "Father, Yanshan Mansion is now under the control of the Jin thieves. Whether to cut off or not is the same for the Jin barbarians. So if the son ministers want to show sincerity in peace talks, they can only give money... Why do they have to give one year's annual monies first?"

"The annual monies for a year...that's three million!" Zhao Ji nodded, "Li Bangyan, how much savings are there in the treasury now? Can you get three million wealth?"

The prime minister of the Eastern Prefecture, Li Bangyan, was busy working hard to come out to report to the official family, and the court has been using troops for many years since Xuanhe, and the expenses are huge, and the left treasury is becoming increasingly empty... However, there are still a lot of wealth in the inner treasury, including 30 to 40 million stagnant copper coins, 30 million taels of silver, 200,000 taels of gold, and 200,000 taels of cloth, 200,000 pieces of silk and 200,000 pieces of cloth, 200,000 pieces of silk."

What? The Song Dynasty was so rich! Zhao Kai immediately regretted after hearing Li Bangyan's words. He was dizzy and didn't think about how much money the Song Dynasty had (actually, Zhao Kai didn't know the specific number). As a result, he only had a lot of numbers in his opinion - three million. Unexpectedly, there were still tens of millions of fortunes in the treasury of the Song Dynasty. If he had known, he would have spoken out loud, so he had to ask him ten million!

"Okay," Zhao Ji nodded and said with a smile, "It's good to have money...Sanlang, don't worry and boldly go to negotiate with the Jin people. I have money in the Song Dynasty that can give annual monies! I can first take out two million taels of silver, 500,000 stags of money and 500,000 pieces of silk from the inside to buy the gold refunder."

Zhao Kaixin said: If you have money to give annual monies, but if you don’t have money to fight for gold thieves, you deserve to go to Wuguo City to drink the northeast wind!

"Father," Zhao Kai had to continue to pretend to be a "traitor" in terms of face, so he continued to say to Zhao Ji, "These three million silver, money and silk are not a small number. The hundreds of people commanded by the fifth son of the Imperial City Command may not be enough to escort these silver across the Yellow River!

Moreover, if the Jin thief opens his mouth, he will have to use these three million to lure the troops in Hebei and deal with the thieves. However, the way to control the troops is to use both kindness and power. If there is only money, it is not enough for personal soldiers. Therefore, he also wants to draw some strong talents from the Guards and Infantry Army and Shengjie Army, and then go north with his army. In addition, he also wants to transfer a few civil officials and military officers as their right-hand men and go to Hebei together, and ask the father to agree together."

"You want to dispatch troops?" Zhao Ji frowned a little when he heard his son wanted soldiers. He was willing to give the money, but the soldiers couldn't bear it.

Because he is now blocked in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo!

Both Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai insisted on being officials. If he couldn't get rid of his mess, he would of course be inseparable from Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo. Since he couldn't get rid of the mess, he would certainly have to seize the army that saved his life.

"I don't have many soldiers," Zhao Kai knew Zhao Ji's thoughts, and he looked down on the Tokyo army, so he said, "I only brought two or three thousand people to Hebei. In addition to the six hundred people under the fifth command, I also wanted to serve three or four hundred officials, more than a thousand of the first cavalry generals of the Jie Army, as well as the three hundred infantry soldiers who followed me into the palace today, and hundreds of soldiers who raised horses in Tiansi. In addition, I also wanted to select 5,000 horses from the Moutuogang Horse Farm to carry goods."

"There are not many..." Zhao Ji took his beard and thought about it. The fifth commander was Zhao Kai's men. The three or four hundred marriage officers should also be Zhao Kai's men. He Guan and the 300 people who entered the palace must not be able to take it. Although the first cavalry general of the Shengjie Army was elite, there were only more than a thousand people after all, and the commander Xiang Ke, who was leading the army, had served as the commander in the fifth commander, and his relationship with Zhao Kai was extraordinary. Zhao Ji was not relieved to leave this army in Kaifeng Prefecture.

As for the horse-raising soldiers in Moutuogang, it is nothing, so I give them it. I can also give them military horses. Although the number of five thousand horses is quite large, it is not impossible to take them out.

Now there are 20,000 military horses in the Moutuogang horse farm in northwest of Tokyo, which is under the jurisdiction of Tiansi. In addition, there are nearly 10,000 cavalrymen in Tokyo, and the troops are equipped with about 10,000 horses. Together, there are more than 30,000 military horses in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo alone!

Although the quality of these 30,000 military horses is not very good, the quantity is definitely not large. I took out five thousand horses for Zhao Kai, and there were still 25,000 horses left for use, which was enough... Anyway, Zhao Ji had already made up his mind. When the Jin thief came, he ordered people to defend Kaifeng City to the death and refused to leave the city, so there was no need for many military horses.

"Okay," Zhao Ji nodded, "You can give both soldiers and horses...Sanlang, you just said that you wanted a few civil servants and military officers, who do you want? Tell me, I will send you all!"

Zhao Kai said: "Father, I'm not polite. In addition to the officials of the Imperial City Division led by Erchen and the people from Prince Yun's Mansion, Erchen also wants He Guan, He Ji, He Yu, and his son, and also wants to defeat Xiang Ke, the general of the Jie Army."

As he spoke, he saw Liu Qi again, and said, "There is also this servant of the Hemen who is quite powerful, and his son wants to take him to Hebei to find something.

In addition, the son minister also wants a civil minister and Chen Ji to serve as the chief minister of the royal palace and the Sima of the royal palace respectively."

The Song Dynasty had high-ranking officials such as Prince Fu, Chief Secretary of the Prince's Mansion, Sima of the Prince's Mansion, but they were not permanent. Only in the early days of the founding of the country did someone hold such an official position. After Emperor Taizong of Song took office, the prince was already the target of defense, so naturally they had to reduce their subordinates. The king Fu, Chief Secretary, and Sima all disappeared from the royal palace.

"Okay," Zhao Ji asked with a smile, "I wonder which civil servant Sanlang wants?"

Zhao Kai glanced at Qin Hui, the treacherous minister who was huddled in the crowd, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "My son wants to be the left counsel Qin Hui!"

Qin Hui trembled when he heard this and was about to leave the work and refused, but Zhao Ji had already spoken: "But, Qin Hui is indeed good, let him be your chief secretary!"
