Chapter 504 A Glance at Virtue: Identified as a Loyal and Righteous Man

On the fifth day of May, when Zhang Zhaodu was about to enter the Hezhong Mansion, Yelu Deguang was in the Chongning Hall in Tokyo and summoned the commanders-in-chief of the Later Jin Dynasty who were under house arrest by him.

With the help of the two traitors Zhao Yanshou and Feng Yu, Yelu Deguang sorted the post-Jin commanders into categories.

Among them, Wang Zhou, Fu Yanqing, An Shenqi, Yao Yuanfu, and He Jianjian, who showed dissatisfaction openly and secretly, were identified as unusable.

It doesn't matter to Xue Huairang, Pan Huan, and Song Yanyun. It's not their job to serve someone, and they are identified as those who cannot be released.

Those like Zhao Zaili, An Shuqian, Li Yin, and Hou Yi who bent their knees happily and even flattered them were identified as reusable.

As for the heavyweights like Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen, of course they should be cherished again and made them his confidantes.

Moreover, Yelu Deguang has a unique insight, probably because the people who bend their knees to take refuge are all crooked melons and cracked dates, which makes my brother Guang feel a little embarrassed.

He even took a look at De Guang, and identified Gao Xingzhou, who had been passively resisting, as a reusable person.

The reason is simple, because Gao Xingzhou is Du Chongwei's son and daughter.Likes gather like creatures and people are divided into groups. Gao Xingzhou was willing to marry his daughter to Du Chongwei, so he didn't mind being a courtier of the Liao Kingdom.

Right now, I feel a little negative. That's because I didn't give benefits, so I have no motivation.

This..

After Gao Xingzhou found out, he was also speechless for a long time, and he didn't know whether to cry or regret being in-laws with Du Chongwei.

After taking a look at Deguang's appraisal drama, Yelu Deguang began to attack Buddhism.

Of course he didn't dare to come like Sanwu destroying Buddha. The Khitan people believed in ghosts and gods. If there was no other way, Yelu Deguang would not have dared to put his hand into the purse of the Buddhist sect.

So, he didn't come forward by himself, but pushed out his uncle Xiao Shilu who had been defeated repeatedly.

This Xiao Shilu was beaten violently by various generals from Yongjin and Jin Dynasties, even if he entered Tokyo now, he is still like a gray grandson.

But because he is Yelu Deguang's own uncle, so his status is not low, there is no one more suitable than him to come forward to clean up the temple bank.

But the problem is, Xiao Shilu is also afraid!Such a blatant extortion of the temple, are you afraid of being killed by the Buddha's thunder?
So after a few days of procrastination, after Zhang Zhaodu had already entered the Hezhong Mansion, under the threat of Yelu Deguang that either I cut you off or Buddha Lei killed you, Xiao Shilu chose to keep it first life.

On the ninth day of May, in the name of discussing Dafa affairs, Xiao Shilu called the abbots headed by Daxiangguo Temple, Daguanyin Temple, and Baiyige Temple to the mansion, and then said that he wanted to borrow some money to spend. .

The monks in all the temples immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. They had no idea that there were still people who turned into monks in the temples for alms!
The great monks sternly rejected Xiao Shilu's request, and angrily reprimanded Xiao Shilu on the spot, wouldn't he be afraid of going to Abi Hell after his death?
Xiao Shilu could only smile wryly in his heart, what can he do?If you don't do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until after death, and you will have to go to hell now.

So it doesn’t make sense, so let’s do the physics, let’s have a hungry set meal first, Xiao Shilu sealed off the mansion to prevent the monks from going out, and persuaded him earnestly.

As long as the masters admit that the Daliao bank notes are as valid as the Hexi bank notes, they will be released immediately.

Moreover, the Daliao Bank Notes are not estimated to have issued tens of millions of coins like the Hexi Bank Notes. They only need 500,000 coins.

However, if you talk to a monk in Tokyo about Buddhism, these masters may be questioned, but if you talk to him about finance, they are clear.

They dared to accept the Hexi banknotes because Hexi had exclusive and best-selling products such as white sugar, rock sugar, and cotton, and Zhang Zhao also had a large number of Buddhist treasures that they coveted as collateral.

Hexi is even more stuck at the key point of the commercial route, which was also opened up by King Yong. In addition, the merchants have this demand, so they will accept the Hexi bank note.

There is also a tacit agreement in the dark, that is, Zhang Zhao will not spread Hexi's Buddhism to the Central Plains, and will not seek the status of the wheel-turning Dharma King and the Supreme Heavenly Dharma King in the Central Plains, so the monks in the Central Plains agreed to cooperate with Zhang Zhao.

This thing can only be done at the right time, place and people. Xiao Shilu or Yelude wanted to touch it forcibly just by opening their mouths, how could it be possible!

As for hungry stomachs, they cannot be made to give in, because the financial industry of banks can be said to be the lifeblood of monks in temples such as Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo and Luoyang in Xijing.

The profits obtained by the Daxiangguo Temple alone by absorbing savings and lending have already far exceeded the offerings and incense silver of the benefactors.

They also know that there is no way to stop things like using silver tickets to go whoring for money once it starts. Once there is the first time, there will be countless times, and it will always be the last time.

Xiao Shilu starved all the masters for a day, and Yelu Deguang couldn't wait until the masters couldn't stand it anymore.

In desperation, Uncle Xiao Guo could only use the method that the Khitan people were best at, and directly came to the door to force it.

On May [-]th, under the urging of Yelu Deguang, Xiao Shilu broke into the Daxiangguo Temple at night in the name of Huazhou bandits.

Under the guidance of the bribed monks, all the more than [-] silver coins in the basement of Daxiangguo Temple were taken away.

At this point, the monks, who had been hungry for two days, saw that Yelu Deguang really dared to tear up his face, and he didn't even give the Buddha face, so he could only give in temporarily.

The silver money accumulated in the joint bank of the Buddhist temples in the eastern and western capitals is as high as 4 million.

And if the Khitan people are willing to take out the printed Daliao bank notes, they will still be able to eat the 500,000 guan if they hold on, and even what they lose, they will soon be able to make up for it on the books.

However, the masters must have never imagined that there is such a thing as a run on this thing, and they never imagined that accepting Khitan's banknotes has already violated my King Zhang's rebellion.

Of course, they haven't lost much at the moment. On May 36th, Yelu Deguang claimed that the Buddhist sects in the two capitals voluntarily donated [-] guan to support the Daliao eradication of bandits, regain Guanzhong, and restore peace to the world.

The money, together with the money stolen by Xiao Shilu, was exactly 500,000 guan. Yelu Deguang also ordered Zhang Li to print 500,000 guan of Daliao bank notes and deliver them.

After getting this done, Yelu Deguang finally felt relieved.

You think he doesn't know that there are a large number of former Jin civil and military and even dental soldiers saving money in temple banks such as Daxiangguo Temple.

He must know that if the Daxiangguo Temple is really going to be copied, these people shouldn't rise up and rebel right away?

As it is now, it is just that Daxiangguo Temple and other temple banks have 500,000 more bad debts, which has suffered for the masters, but the interests of the soldiers are still guaranteed.

On May [-]th, Yelu Deguang swore an oath in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, and said that he would go on a personal conquest and wipe out Zhang Zhao, a bandit occupying Guanzhong.

While rewarding the original Jin soldiers, he ordered the Khitan soldiers who were still raiding the grass valley not to do any more looting.

For this reason, Yelu Deguang also publicly punished some Khitan nobles who did not listen to orders, and the highlight was dragging Zhang Yanze and Fu Zhuer out.

These two dogs were the ones who started the robbery in Tokyo and made it impossible for the Khitan army to stop the robbery. It can be said that they made a very bad start.

Amidst the shouts of killing, Zhang Yanze, Fu Zhu'er, and more than [-] Khitan and Han people were dragged to the street.

The people of Tokyo, who hated them deeply, followed closely behind with wooden sticks, and before they reached the execution ground, these twenty or so people were beaten to pieces.

Among them, the most vicious Zhang Yanze arrived at the execution ground with almost a piece of skin left.

After killing Zhang Yanze and Fu Zhu'er, plus rewarding the troops, and regaining some hearts.

Yelu Deguang announced that the Han army would take Wei Wang Zhao Yanshou as the general, Li Shouzhen and Gao Xingzhou as the left and right deployment envoys, Xue Huairang, Pan Huan, etc. as the formation envoys, An Shenqi, Fu Yanqing, etc. Those who were nearly held hostage.

In addition, Yelu Deguang appointed Du Chongwei as the Jiedu Envoy of the Guide Army in Songzhou to appease the soldiers of the Guide Army, resist the tiger thorns who had been harassing northward, and wipe out the "bandits" in Chenzhou and Bozhou.

Zhao Zaili, another shameless master, was appointed by Yelu Deguang as the Jiedu Envoy of the Yicheng Army in Weizhou to guard the Yellow River floating bridge for Yelu Deguang.

This old gangster came all the way to worship Yelu Deguang in history, but was extorted by King Xi Renwei for money, and heard that Yelu Deguang locked the minister of Jin, so frightened that he hanged himself in the stable.

But at this time, due to Zhang Zhao's threat, the Khitan people on the whole were much more gentle than in the same period in history, so Zhao Zaili not only lived well, but was also reused.

After the arrangement was completed, Yelu Deguang chose to set off on the same day. In this battle, Yelu Deguang conscripted 90,000 Khitan and Liao troops, and 150,000 soldiers from the Jin army. A total of [-] people, claimed to be [-], marched westward along the Yellow River by water and land, and conquered Zhang. Zhao.

Before the army set off, Yelu Deguang appointed Cui Tingxun, a Han Chinese from the Liao Kingdom, as the Jiedu envoy of the three towns of Heyang, and Geng Chongmei as the Jiedu envoy of the Baoyi Army in Shanzhou.

Since he didn't know yet, and couldn't imagine that Zhao Kuangzan had turned his back on him, Yelu Deguang's plan was to go to Hezhong Mansion to fight Zhang Zhao decisively without receiving any warning from Hezhong Mansion.

Therefore, Geng Chongmei, the first envoy of the Baoyi Army in Shanzhou, and Cui Tingxun, the envoy of the three towns of Heyang, did not have many troops at all.

Among them, as the most important Shanzhou after Hezhong Prefecture, Geng Chongmei went to take office, with only [-] troops in the headquarters, and King Xi led [-] Xi people's infantry. escort.
