Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 405

East to spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the time has come to the third year of Tenglong before you know it.

During the Chinese New Year, Wuyue, Jiangnan, Koryo and other countries all sent envoys to Daliang, and Nvzhi people also sent envoys again, crossing the sea from Bohai Sea to Qidi, traveling thousands of miles away.

The envoy of Nvzhiren excitedly reported to him that because of the rebellion of Wugu and Shiwei ministries last year, the Liao court sent a subdued prime minister Xiao Wu to lead an army of more than 3 people to quell the rebellion.

They also took the opportunity to launch a rebellion. Although they failed to gain a firm foothold, they still killed several officials of the Liao Kingdom in the Bohai Kingdom, causing considerable chaos.

He also killed more than 100 Liao soldiers and looted warehouses in several surrounding counties.

But after autumn they dare not move again.

They originally thought that more than a dozen tribes in the north would unite to rebel, but there would be tens of thousands of tribes, with a large number of troops, and they would fight the Liao Kingdom for a few years, so they could take advantage of it.

It was true in the beginning.

The rebellion started last year. The local army of the Liao Kingdom and the rebels fought anxiously, causing casualties to each other. After more than a year of fighting, there was no result, which led to more and more rebels.

But I didn't expect that after the Prime Minister of the North Mansion of Liao Kingdom sent troops this year, the situation would change immediately.

The forward sent by the Prime Minister of the Northern Mansion of the Liao Army was Brother Yeluxiu. He was a fierce general. He won successive battles on the northern grassland. He defeated the rebels one after another within a few months. The rebellious tribes were killed except for the children who were not taller than the wheels.

With its strong fighting power and ruthless means, it has suppressed many rebel tribes in Wugu and Shiwei through several battles in less than a year, and the Liao army may return to Beijing at any time.

This frightened the female straight person, and quickly retreated to the snowy forest to the north, and even voluntarily gave up several counties that had already been occupied.

Shi Congyun frowned upon hearing this, and muttered "Brother Yeluxiu"

Looking at the excited narration of the female straight envoy, I don't know how much of the truth and falsehood are in the words. Now Liaodong is too far away to reach.

However, it should be true that there was a rebellion in the Liao Kingdom. Shi Congyun also knew the name of Brother Yeluxiu. After all, it was difficult for many people in the Liao Kingdom to remember, but Xiao Chuo, Yelu Xiezhen, and Brother Yeluxiu were still too famous.

This also reminded him that smart people don't know him alone.

He thought that he was negotiating peace with the Liao Kingdom for the time being in order to free his hands to concentrate on dealing with the south.

Now it seems that the high-level leaders of the Liao Kingdom are not stupid. They agreed to negotiate a peace and even agreed to the terms of compensation. Being able to coexist peacefully with the Qin State originally had its own calculations.

Thinking of this, Shi Congyun suddenly felt a little vigilant. He still underestimated the enemy, and he was a little flustered before.

Then the emissary of the female straight people also stated their intention for this visit, that is, they hope to continue to receive financial support from the Qin State.

Especially iron weapons, because of Liao's blockade of them and their backward technology, it is difficult to make iron weapons to fight against the local army of Liao.

They often use their own hunting bows to ambush and attack Liao soldiers, but once they meet hand-to-hand, they lack enough iron weapons and they are brave enough to be no match for the Liao army.

He didn't hesitate on this matter, and immediately agreed.

Shi Congyun didn't know how true the female direct envoy was, but it was insignificant for Daqin to support them with thousands of spears. If they confronted Liaodong in Liaodong, it would be a situation he would like to see.

The female emissary was also very happy, saying that they are used to hunting on horseback, and spears on horseback are the best weapons, and the iron spearheads produced in the south are particularly good, far surpassing those of the Khitan people.

The envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom also came across the sea. In addition to sending the unique secret beauty of Goryeo, gold and silver treasures, there were also twenty Goryeo beauties.

The so-called secret color is a kind of beautiful porcelain, which is of high value, because it is said that only Goryeo can make that kind of color, and Emperor Shi didn't dare to be interested in it, it was nothing more than the special geographical conditions. Interested in tributes.

Most people in Goryeo do not understand the behavior of crossing the sea to worship, but it is not surprising that people in the court are used to it.

Even Shi Congyun didn't find it strange, because he knew that no matter Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, Gaoli worshiped honestly, it's true that they even took the initiative to worship "Dasong", and at the same time worshiped The Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom basically worshiped whoever was older.

This approach is also referred to as "majorism".

And this is the aftermath of being beaten by the Han and Tang Dynasties. In the history of North Korea, the country was destroyed twice. One time, Emperor Wu destroyed Wei Dynasty Korea. He directly set up four counties on the Korean Peninsula to control the Korean Peninsula. It was not until the late Eastern Han Dynasty that it gradually lost control. .

The second time was when Tang Gaozong destroyed Goguryeo and directly controlled the northern part of the Korean peninsula, and then the control time was shorter.

After learning the lessons from these two disasters of annihilation of the country, the Korean peninsula has developed a tradition of "big things", that is, no matter who is powerful in the west, they will immediately go to worship and pay protection fees.

In the later Zhou Dynasty, envoys from Goryeo came to pay homage, and now that the state of Qin is so powerful, it is not surprising that they rushed across the sea to pay homage.

Shi Congyun was very happy, and he had to say that the King of Korea was quite capable and knew what he liked.

Twenty handsome North Korean beauties, I heard from their envoy that some of them are from the royal family, and I want to introduce them to him, but Shi Congyun doesn’t care about those, regardless of whether you are from the royal family or not, as long as you are beautiful, he didn’t have a draft. There is no one in the harem, now it's all right, let's let Goryeo do the drafting.

Then, as usual, they asked them to bring some cultural products back to observe and learn about the profoundness of Chinese culture. As for the money, he wanted to save it for the war.

That night, Emperor Shi couldn't wait to inspect the goods.

At the beginning of the month, after the cold spring dissipated, Emperor Shi once went to the Bianshui River to inspect the production situation of the supplier. At the same time, eight new gunboats were produced, each with 24 guns.

Shi Congyun was very happy to see it, and asked Feng Jisheng on the spot how many ships could be built by the end of April.

As soon as he said this, many people were concerned, why is it at the end of March?All the civil and military people present were guessing in their hearts, but some smart people had already understood, because in May, the spring plowing was over, and the conscripts of the people from all states would not delay the spring plowing.

Feng Jisheng assured: "Officials, it is difficult to build these ships for the first few ships, and the speed will be faster as the craftsmen get acquainted with each other. By the end of April, I can guarantee that at least 480 ships will be built, equipped with [-] cannons! "

After hearing this, Shi Congyun nodded slowly, then turned around and asked Pan Mei behind him, "What do you think?"

Pan Mei looked excited, "Officials, enough is enough, even if there are only ten ships, I can guarantee that the Lingnan Navy will be smashed."

Shi Congyun did not immediately make a decision.

Because he has already summoned Pan Mei to talk about Lingnan's situation many times, Lingnan still has talents, and more preparations are needed.

At the beginning of February, Shi Congyun led all the officials to inspect spring plowing in the fields east of Daliang City, and communicated with the local people about their living conditions in the past few years, and did not return to the palace until evening.

On the eighth day of February, an unexpected report came from the Tongzhi of Tanzhou in the south. The Southern Han servant and the commander of the Mingkou camp, Shao Tingyu, was accused of treason when he was training in Mingkou, and was later sent by the ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty. Messenger bestowed death!
When the news came, Shi Congyun was stunned and full of question marks, not understanding what happened to the ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty.

But no matter what, this incident immediately aggravated his determination to send troops.

I wanted to make perfect preparations because although the ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty was superstitious about gods and Buddhas, he still had capable people under his command. Shao Tingyu, who was training in the camp at Guangkou, was one of them, and Pan Mei had told him about it.

Now such a person is suddenly given to death.
Shi Congyun didn't know the reason, but he was keenly aware that the politics of the Southern Han Kingdom might have reached a point of no return. Maybe he really overestimated his opponent.

So on February [-]th at Huishan in the Dachao, Shi Congyun ordered the three divisions to start raising food and grass. The commander of the Zhenhuai Army made Si Chao immediately go to Beijing to see him.

At this moment, everyone understands that the emperor has made up his mind
