Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 709
When Han Xizai and Xu Xuan saw Su Chen again, they were filled with emotion, excited and happy.

I thought that Su Chen was killed, heaven was jealous of Yingcai, and he would never see him again, even Han Xizai felt guilty and blamed himself for not protecting Su Chen well.

If he hadn't been excavated by him back then, recommended to enter the palace to treat the empress, and then entered the temple of the Tang Dynasty to become an official, he would not have been used by the court as a tool for peace and sacrificed in exchange for a short-term peace and Song Dynasty. The army retreated.

This has become a heart problem for Han Xizai. In recent days, he has suffered from many people, and his body is much weaker, and he has suffered a serious illness.

After all, he felt sorry for Su Chen and indirectly wronged him.The country of the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty again, and the ambition he had steadfastly and the court he was loyal to were gone, which immediately dealt a great blow to Han Xizai.

Han Xizai felt that this was the end of his life. For the rest of his life, he drank and had fun every day, using alcohol to soothe his sorrows, until he died of old age and ended this wasted life.

However, he never expected to see Su Chen again today. Hearing the grand blueprint Su Chen described, his heart was suddenly excited, and passion and courage burst out from within his body.

"Okay, very good! The old man used to be a man from Nandu. He first served as an official in the Yang Wu regime, and then he became a subject of Li Tang after the court changed. Now that Li Tang has fallen and the Yang Wu regime has been restored, the old man also It’s back to the right path. Not only me, but also many old officials can return to Yang Wu’s new regime and continue to serve the new Wu King!”

Han Xizai is a typical person who traveled to the South, but during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, although there were many talents who traveled to the South, it was not considered a large-scale South Crossing in the history books.

There have been several times in history that due to foreign invasion, the regime moved southward, and the culture also moved southward, which is called the southern crossing of clothing.

Once, when Emperor Jin and Yuan crossed the river and established the capital in today's Nanjing, the gentry of the Central Plains also moved south one after another.Once, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong crossed the river and established his capital in modern Hangzhou. This is another crossing south in clothes.

Another time was when Fu Wang crossed the river in the late Ming Dynasty and established his capital in Nanjing. This is the third time he crossed the south in clothes.

In the five dynasties in the north, the imperial courts were constantly changing and the wars were raging, which caused the people to flee to the Yangwu territory of Huaibei to seek refuge.

Xu Xuan also agreed with Han Xizai's statement, and he thought so too.

After all, I went to the Northern Song Dynasty, although I would not be beheaded, but after all, the subjugated ministers left the familiar Jiangnan environment and went to live in Bianjing, and it is likely that they will not be reused and will not be accommodated by the northern bureaucracy system. Squeeze out and wait, why bother to go!
If it is really as ambitious as what Su Chen described, first conquering several big cities in Wuyue and taking over Wuyue's territory, then there is really great potential.

After all, the land of Wuyue has jurisdiction over the thirteen prefectures of Hangzhou, Yue, Hu, Su, Xiu, Wu, Mu, Qu, Tai, Wen, Chu, Ming, and Fu; in addition, there are Zhenhai, Zhendong, Zhongwu, Xuande, There are sixty or seventy counties in Wusheng, Zhangwu and other festival towns, and the territory is not small.

Adding the two prefectures of Zhangquan and Quanzhou, there are fifteen prefectures.

Once the Wu Kingdom is established, they will all make contributions from the dragon and have a lot to do!

Therefore, Xu Xuan also felt that this matter was reliable, that he could do it vigorously, and at least he could leave his name in history.

"Let's stop talking here. Let's instruct the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous banquet. The three of us drink and chat while having a good time. Yixuan still has a lot of ideas, and I happened to talk to the two adults."

"Well, we will live in your mansion today." Han Xizai is no longer polite to Su Chen. After all, he has defected here and does not have their residence for the time being. He has a close relationship with Su Chen, so he lives in this mansion for the time being. It also makes sense.

.........

The night is as cool as water, and the moon and stars are rare.

The three of Su Chen and Han Xizai drank in the inner hall and chatted freely about the circumstances of the long absence.

"I often see it in King Qi's residence, and Cui Jiutang has heard of it a few times before. It's a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and I meet you again when the flowers fall."

Han Xizai was very happy after drinking, and saw that Su Chen was still alive, and the three of them were able to work together again, so he was in a happy mood and radiant, and couldn't help but read Du Fu's famous poem, which fit the scene.

"Yixuan, these days, everyone thought you were killed. Master Han and I have a lot of guilt and regret. We often drink together, are in a bad mood, and get drunk very easily. The court was disrupted by the Song Party and the New Party. Commander, the official family is also an indecisive person. He always chooses to act according to the wrong plan. Hey, this led to the destruction of the Tang Dynasty. Now, some officials in Jinling City have surrendered to the Song Dynasty, some closed their doors to thank guests, and some have already absconded out of town."

Xu Xuan complained to Su Chen, expressing some depression in his heart.

Su Chen persuaded: "Everything is over. Now in the territory of Tang State, the Song army is fighting with the Tang army in various prefectures, and some cities have already surrendered to the Song army. If there is no external interference, it is estimated that in half a year to a year, the Song army will be defeated." We can suppress the rebellion and completely control Tang. We don’t have much time. We must take advantage of the melee between the Song army and the Tang army within half a year to take down Wuyue and consolidate the territory. Go to the letter and secretly help.

"In this way, in the south of the Yangtze River, the supply of food and grass for the Song army is a problem, and it is impossible to fight for a long time. We can use the special terrain of Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui to drag down the Song army, break it into pieces, and finally eat it. Then the Song Dynasty lost the [-] troops. , will definitely hurt your vitality..."

"Great idea, this is taking millet out of the fire, and the timing must be just right." Xu Xuan nodded in approval.

Han Xizai said: "Many of the local governors and envoys are related to us veterans. At that time, we will write letters to persuade them to change to the Yang Wu regime, support the new master, and establish a great Wu. In this way, Wu will be unified." In the south, we can compete with the Song Dynasty in the north."

Su Chen nodded and said: "I also think about it in the same way. There are two adults sitting here, and those veterans, local government officials, and disciples will come to vote. Only by gathering more talents can we be able to do great things. Now the rebel army lacks talents the most. gone."

Building a country is not a trivial matter. It is not the same concept as pirates plundering and then occupying the island as king.

To establish political power in the Central Plains, there needs to be rules and regulations, and there are laws to follow. Various taxes, fields, corvees, disaster relief, water conservancy repairs, commercial systems, litigation cases, social security, etc., all need people to manage. Let's face it, only if there are many talented people doing their jobs, can this rebel army be stable.

There are too many uprising soldiers and horses in the history books, all of them are hot-headed and have no perfect system. After robbing food, grass and treasures, they spend extravagantly. Ke Yi, survival is difficult, being bullied by others at any time is a chaotic state, so it won't last long.

Su Chen is very aware of this, so he explained how to obtain war horses, bows and arrows, cattle and sheep, gold and silver items, etc. through foreign trade, etc. For Han Hee Jae and Seo Hyun.

After all, Han Xizai was the Minister of the Household Department and the Ministry of Officials, and he is very familiar with the relationship between households and taxes. After listening to Su Chen's introduction, he was also overwhelmed.

"Foreign trade is good, Yixuan, you can bring horses and supplies in a steady stream, and at the same time let the people of Liao enjoy more, and can also weaken the toughness of Youyun Sixteen States. More story books, rouge powder, Drinks, etc., speed up their recognition of the Central Plains, and one day, when you send your troops to the north, you may be able to take back the Sixteen States of Youyun."

Hearing this, Su Chen felt that it was something to be said later, but he didn't consider it so far-reaching. A big Song Dynasty is a hill in front of him, and he needs to deal with it with all his strength.
