Chapter three hundred and fifty seventh stroke(2/3)
This is a group of killing gods who have successively transferred six rebellious bacs, making these six bacs look like they are washed away, and other villages flee in sight.
The Tubo people in Huizhou and Lanzhou were shocked.
The news even reached Lijing City.
Xiaosilu immediately sent an envoy to Zheng Lang's army with a fast horse, and implicitly pleaded for his son.
He was not afraid of Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang gathered the Jingyuan Road army and was not afraid of the sage. But he was worried that the Song Dynasty and Xixia would join forces to deal with him. Over the years, he could see clearly that Yuan Hao had not been able to get the best in these two battles. As long as the Song Dynasty gave some preferential conditions, Yuan Hao would be happy to allow it and get some time to ease. Once the two countries join forces, Tubo would inevitably be destroyed by the two countries.
There is also a deeper reason. The Song Dynasty and the Western Xia started a war, and the Tubo people could get the opportunity to rest and rest.
From his heart, he was willing to get close to the Song Dynasty. The people of the Song Dynasty were rich. Some Qiang people in Qinzhou admired the wisdom of the Song Dynasty. They even kidnapped the Song Dynasty's sons on their first wedding night, joined the bride, and borrowed the seeds of the Song Dynasty so that their descendants could be better.
Therefore, the Song people may not be interested in the high-altitude Tubo Plateau. Instead, the Xixia people were eyeing each other. If Tubo had a feud with the Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to actively negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, fight against Tubo with all his might, and expand his power. From the perspective of race, the Dangxiang people have always hated Tubo, and this feeling has been formed since the Tang Dynasty.
Morally, it is unreasonable.
In the past, the territory of Zhenrong Army and Deshun Army was from Tubo, and even Qinzhou and Weizhou were from Tubo. After the Song Dynasty became strong, it was taken back one by one, including the territory of Deshun Army, which was a boundary that both sides acquiesced.
The Song army quelled the rebellion on its own territory as a righteous army. His son did not directly participate, but he could not escape the relationship. The Song army was justified in the conquest, so he pleaded with tactfulness.
"Your king is too soft-hearted. Why do you pity such a bad boy? But for your king's loyalty to the court, I will give you a chance." After Zheng Lang said that, he ordered his retreat and sent Liu Xuanrui to persuade him again.
I originally wanted to wipe out you, but your father begged for you and gave you a chance to come to Weizhou to surrender immediately. Otherwise, I will concentrate more troops and come to the expedition again. At that time, unless you join your father's tent or flee to Xixia.
it's out of the question.
Even if he was slandering, he would not have the face to face his stepmother. It would be even more impossible to defect to Yuan Hao. It would be better to flee back to Qinghai and apologize to his father to apologize.
But Zheng Lang withdraws his troops, and gives him face.
If he wanted to seek peace, Chang Mingde insisted that he come to Weizhou to surrender in person. When he heard Zheng Lang's army coming, he was furious and imprisoned Chang Mingde. He still had some concerns in his heart, otherwise Chang Mingde could be killed and then organized the army to prepare for resistance.
However, his hands were weak, and the Watingchuan tribes were quickly conquered, so his strength was even more single. After worrying, when he heard Liu Xuanrui lobbying, he finally lowered his figure and said, "But I have a requirement that I can submit to your Song Dynasty, and you cannot bring me to your capital."
Liu Xuanrui sneered: "Even your father's great power is surrendered to my dynasty, what are you?"
That's also called surrender? But in my heart, I didn't say anything, and asked again: "I don't know what conditions your Duke Zheng wants me to agree to?"
"What conditions do you have to offer? Money and goods, how much money and goods do you have in your account?"
The blind old face turned red.
"Or warrior, this is a little bit, but can we like this warrior? Let's keep it for you to resist the Xixia thieves."
"Then how can I surrender?"
It’s easy to get to the point. Liu Xuanrui asked, “Where is the messenger sent by our bachelor’s last time?”
"Celebrate in the city," said the blind felt haha, and quietly squeezed his eyes. The people next to him knew and left secretly, letting Chang Mingde out of the cell, and drinking and drinking. He used to be locked in the cell, but now he is warmly entertaining him?
Liu Xuanrui didn't care, as long as his friend was not killed, he continued, "As long as you surrender to our dynasty, your tribe will not cross the boundary and harass the people of our dynasty's borders. Zhao Xun promised you the conditions before, but now he continues to count."
After another quarrel, Liu Chang and the others finally brought the blind felt to Weizhou.
When he saw Zheng Lang, he immediately knelt down, afraid that Zheng Lang would ward him down.
In fact, Zheng Lang won’t deduct Zheng Lang even if he wants to deduct it.
Later, when the Song Dynasty conquered Tubo, it was not known that it was indeed forced by the form, and it was necessary to conquer, or it was a great conquest. However, now the Song Dynasty and the King of Liluo were in the honeymoon stage, and it was not worth slandering Tubo.
He helped him up and let him sit down, very politely.
He said in front of the blind felt, "Prepare good wine and kill sheep to entertain you."
When the soldier went down, he was thinking in his heart that he would not detain me, otherwise he would not be so polite. He felt relieved and said, "Mr. Zheng, I dare not accept it."
Thanks to the Tang Dynasty's policy of great ethnic integration. Whether it is Tubo or Dangxiang people, many people can speak Chinese, including blind felt, and communication is more convenient.
"Since you have come to surrender, you are a minister of our dynasty. Why don't you dare to accept it? Not only will I give you a lot of cloth immediately, but I will also write memorials and request the court to give you official positions. In the future, the court will continue to reward you like you are to your father."
The blind meddled down again, not thanking me, and said, "But I beg Mr. Zheng for one thing."
"If you have any requests, just give me instructions."
"If the Xixia people come to attack, please send troops to support you."
Later, when Yuan Hao heard that he was surrendering to the Song Dynasty, he was furious and sent troops to build a city on the Agan River south of Lanzhou.
The blind wu reported to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty sent envoys to appoint the blind wu as the border inspection envoy and ordered him to attack Agan City.
In fact, this is an opportunity. If the Song Dynasty and Tubo join forces, they will not only remove Agan City, but also drag Tubo into the water again. The two countries will work together to deal with Yuan Hao. Geographically, Agan City is not far from the Deshun Army, and its territory is also more united than the Song Dynasty.
However, the Song Dynasty did not send troops, and he did not dare to act alone. He asked Yuanhao to send a large army to not only defend Agan City, but also to destroy Kangu City. The emperor wanted to rescue his son, but it was too late, so Yuanhao could obtain most of the areas south of the Yellow River in Lanzhou, and the momentum was greatly boosted.
This is the result of passive defense, the idea of harmony as a key, and follows the opponent step by step without any initiative. Even though the country is big, it can only survive cowardly.
Zheng Lang may not have much military vision, but if he knows it, he will never let it happen.
So he agreed readily: "Blind felt, you should have heard of some of my deeds."
"I heard that you are Wen Kuixing of the Song Dynasty."
"I am not a star, but what I said has always kept my promise or refused. My answer to you now is that if most of the Xixia people did not launch an attack on Jingyuan Road, as long as you are invaded by the Xixia people in your territory, I will definitely lead my army to support you."
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng."
"Do you know why I have to let you come here in person?"
"It is to let me surrender to your country."
"Wrong, I don't want to detain you either. Since you surrendered to our dynasty, what is the difference between being in Kangu City and in Weizhou?"
"Then why?" Wuwu was overjoyed.
If Zheng Lang made it clear that he would not be detained, that would be easy.
This time I came here forcibly to make money. Before I came, I explained the funeral to you, including my wife and a few sons. I told you to do whatever you want. I cried for most of the day before I left.
"I came to the Deshun Army for a few days and saw many people living along the way, very poor."
"Yes, the people are too hard. It was originally barren at this time. Several countries were fighting, and wars were endless. Trading was not enough. People's lives were even harder." After saying that, he looked at Zheng Lang with his eyes. Whether the people's lives were harder or not, no matter what he was doing, he had to follow Zheng Lang's voice. He was thinking in his heart, what does this little prime minister mean? Could it be that in order to win over my loyalty to the Song Dynasty, he also rewarded my people?
“I want to make some changes.”
"What changes did Mr. Zheng change? Do you want me to serve you?"
"No need to say service, if you surrender to our dynasty, your people are the people of the Song Dynasty."
"Yes, yes," Wu Wen nodded and bowed, not convinced in his heart. What are your people in the Song Dynasty? But the Han people have been very happy with merits and a false reputation since ancient times. He also knows it and will not refute it.
"So I have the responsibility to govern the people and make their lives better, and you have the responsibility."
“Yes, yes.”
Zheng Lang said his plan, but did not say everything, but said most of it.
His market rules.
It was divided into two parts, set up a little in Chang'an City, buy and sell goods from the Song Dynasty, and sell goods from the Fan Qiang tribes exchanged from Jingyuan Road, including materials in Tubo.
This part is a money transaction, and the difference is earned from it.
Then set up a little in Weizhou, and buy and sell, but not money as a means of trading, but bartering.
Use silk, cloth, silk, silk and silk to make it easier for camels, horses, sheep, felt blankets, fur, fragrant medicine, porcelain, lacquerware, ginger, cinnamon and licorice, honey wax, musk navel, hair brown, antelope horn, bupleurum, cedar sand, bupleurum, cistanche, safflower, safflower, safflower, safflower, feathers.
There are other commodities, but these are the main products of Tubo and Xixia, and the goods needed are also the main products.
There is no money transaction in the middle. First, the Song Dynasty still lacks copper coins at present, which controls the circulation of copper coins to the outside world. Second, the concept of using money will be more intuitive, and bartering is easy to fool.
Once these two trading points are formed, there will be millions of cash for turnover, a huge business team will be formed.
Just one of Jingyuan Road cannot meet this need and the transaction volume is not large.
But the profits generated by bringing blind felts, or even the tribes near blind felts, will be very considerable.
Not only were the Tubo tribes involved, but because the borders of the Song Dynasty were tightly blocked, Western Xia goods also rolled in.
But what is there in Xixia? It is mainly war horses. The more horses, the better, or green salt, can green salt be controlled. Do the Tubo people produce green salt? They dare not trade it out. Moreover, after the tribes in the Hexi Corridor tasted the sweetness, they left a lot of room for operation.
Some ideas Zheng Lang did not say.
Just said vaguely that the main range of radiation would be in the Blind Felt Tribe.
The court army will protect the goods and transport goods will be very safe.
Because the blind felt tribe will occupy a huge proportion, we set up a little more in the blind haired Kangu City.
It’s not a fool to be foolish. Knowing how much benefit it will bring to him if he sets a little.
But the main lifeline is in the Song Dynasty. In fact, blind siren can only drink soup and will benefit. Zheng Lang will not be very unscrupulous. Maybe next year, he will use this financial resources to fight against the people of Xixia.
The blind felt came at risk, but he didn't expect that when he heard this good news, he seemed to be hit by a gold brick in the sky, sitting there without saying a word.
"Why, you don't want to?"
"I am willing, I am willing, Zheng Gong is kind and unmatched. I guess Zheng Gong with a villain's heart is beyond the reach of death," said Wu Wen kneeling down for the third time and slapped himself in the face with his hand.
Zheng Lang helped him up and said, "I just said that you and I are both ministers of the Song Dynasty, and the people are all people of the Song Dynasty, so don't be dissatisfied."
Ge Huaimin snorted coldly and said, "Blind felt, if you don't know the good in the future, you will definitely lead the army to kill you."
"Director Ge, no one can talk nonsense."
