Dajin royal family

Chapter 481 Inside Nanchen (thanks to Wei Zi for the reward)

After Qingzhou was fatally hit by the Northern Jin Dynasty, it lost its deterrence to the Central Plains and the southeast. Yuwenshu's army drove straight in and occupied several counties one after another, and its power base increased dramatically.

Nanchen wiped out several water bandits and separatist forces one after another in the southeast, and he seemed to become a major overlord in the southeast.

After entering the winter moon, the war in the world is in full swing.Except for the Northern Jin Dynasty, the rest of the country was full of war and depression.

Yuan Shangle brought the war horse traded from the black market in the Northern Jin Dynasty, spent half a month's work, finally returned to Longxi, and met Li Anmin.

Not long ago, Li Anmin defeated the puppets supported by the Tupan people, completely pacified the land west of Longxi, and is now stationed in Bing County in Longxi.

"The quality of these horses is really good."

The old horse hunter observed the horses and told Li Anmin so.

Li Anmin nodded, looking at the war horses, "It's a pity, such a war horse is in the hands of Bei Jin."

Yuan Shangle said: "Second son, the circulation of war horses is prohibited in the Northern Jin Dynasty. We can only trade from the black market, but the quantity is too small every time, and it is difficult to organize a strong cavalry."

"Yes, this is indeed a problem." Li Anmin sighed: "Who let Liaodong be in the hands of the Northern Jin Dynasty? There is no horse farm in Guanzhong, and there is no way to contact the Western Regions. We can only make a bad plan."

"Second Young Master, who said there is no racecourse in Guanzhong?" Yuan Shang said happily, "Did Second Young Master forget Hetao?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "The Hetao is in Zhou Niu'er's hands. How can we get it? Unless the lord is willing to let the second son lead the army to the north, we can only watch."

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji also looked annoyed, the war horse has become their weakness.

Li Anmin said: "If elder brother can defeat Su Dinghai, I can go to my father and send troops to attack Zhou Niuer and seize Lingwu County."

But the problem is that his elder brother has been blocked by Su Dinghai for more than two months and there is no result. He has been in a stalemate in Wuwei County, and no one in the court has discovered the importance of Hetao Racecourse, which makes people very helpless.

Is a mere Su Dinghai so difficult to deal with?

If it was him who led the army to attack, it would not take two months at all, and Su Dinghai could be taken in one month. By this time, Lingwu County might have been taken!

Every time he thought of this, he complained why his father didn't give him a chance to go to Wuwei County to help his elder brother.It's nothing to let him stay and station here.

All the staff present were silent. Now that the customs is still pending, the issue of the horses is like a sword choking their throats, making people breathless.

Zhang Shiliang cupped his hands and said, "My lord, why don't you write a letter and send it to the general, and lead the army north to help the prince."

Hearing this, Li Anmin remained silent, and then slowly said after a while: "Father has his own considerations."

What is the consideration?

He didn't know, he had already written to his father and told him that he wanted to lead an army to help his elder brother calm down Su Dinghai.But every time he got a reply, he was asked to stay where he was and train his soldiers.

Yuan Shangle thought of something, took out a silver dollar from the purse and handed it to Li Anmin.

"Second son, this is a silver dollar minted in the Northern Jin Dynasty. It weighs one tael. All merchants who trade in the Northern Jin Dynasty must settle with silver dollars. This is what I brought back."

Li Anmin looked at the pattern on the silver dollar, "It's such a delicate silver dollar, I'm afraid it's not easy to imitate such a silver dollar."

"That's right, this silver dollar is too detailed, and the mold is difficult to cast." Yuan Shang said happily.

Immediately, he took out a few silver dollars and scattered them for everyone to watch.

Changsun Wuji said: "With this silver dollar, it is difficult for merchants to counterfeit it. This method in the Northern Jin Dynasty is very clever."

Looking at the silver dollar, Li Anmin had complicated thoughts.

The guy he has always regarded as his great enemy now has such a powerful force that he can attack Qingzhou and the Central Plains when he advances, and defend by the river when he retreats.On the other hand, I was trapped in Guanzhong.When he leaves the customs in the future, he is afraid that the Northern Jin Dynasty he will face is not only powerful, but also internally stable.

At this moment, a soldier galloped forward.

"General, my lord has an urgent message!"

Everyone cut off their train of thought and quickly looked at the soldier.

After reading the urgent letter, Li Anmin's face suddenly changed, and he immediately ordered: "Wuji, rectify the three armies, and go to Huining County in two hours!
Li Jishi fell into a bitter battle in Huining County, Li Yuan ordered Li Anmin to go to help.

Nanchen, Kuaiji.

"General Sima, these are good things from the north."

Wei Wei clapped his hands, and the servants behind him opened one after another large boxes, which contained wild ginseng, Sichuan brocade, Dongzhu and so on.

Sima Nu walked over, looked at each of them one by one, and nodded slightly.

"Yes, they are all good things, Brother Wei, you have worked hard."

"It's a villain's honor to honor the general without hard work." Wei Wei said modestly.

The General Sima Nu in front of him is a celebrity under the Southern Chen Emperor Zuo Prime Minister Sima Fa. He is a general in charge of the four military forces in Kuaiji. If he can establish a good relationship with him, Wei Wei will not feel bad at all no matter how much he sends. .

"General, besides these, the villain still has some good things in the yard, please take a look around." Wei Wei stretched out his hand to invite.

Sima Nu chuckled, "Lead the way."

When everyone came to the courtyard, Sima Nu saw the war horse in the courtyard at a glance, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he hurried over.

Seeing this, Wei Wei was not surprised at all.For warriors, there is nothing more attractive than war horses.

"Brother Wei, this is the real good stuff." Sima Nu put his arms around Wei Yu, joking with a smile.

Wei Yu said humbly: "The general congratulates me. The villain has prepared some drinks. The general might as well have a meal first. The villain will send these to the general's mansion. How about it?"

"Okay, you've got your mind."

Sima Nu pulled Wei Qu, and the two entered the side hall for dinner.

After drinking for three rounds, Sima Nu said: "Brother Wei, don't go to Jingzhou for business recently, it's not safe."

Wei Yu's eyes moved, and he immediately cupped his hands in thanks and said, "I remember this, thank you General."

Things are not free, what he wants is Sima Nu's reminder!

"General, the villain in Dongshi has taken a fancy to a few shops, but the owner there is unwilling to sell them, villain"

"Okay, let Shi Xiaowei follow you to take a look later." Sima Nu waved his hand.

"Thank you, General."

At night, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The merchant bribed you again."

Sima Fa was drinking tea, playing with the silver dollar in his hand, and looked at Sima Nu with a smile.

"Yes, this time he invested his capital and took out fifty war horses, all of which were purchased from the black market in the Northern Jin Dynasty." Sima Nu sat on the cushion, standing upright.

Sima Fa nodded, "He will take it for you. What merchants ask for is nothing more than protection. As long as you grasp the size, you can figure it out."

"Yes, the late general understands." Sima Nu continued: "The merchant is a smart man who understands things. He knows that the late general is the prime minister, and he wants to honor the prime minister."

As he spoke, Sima Nu took out several land deeds from his sleeves and offered them with both hands.

Sima Fa looked away from the silver dollar, landed on the land deed, and immediately received it in his hand with a slight smile on his face.

"A smart guy."

Sima Nu asked curiously: "The prime minister seems to be quite interested in the silver dollars from the Northern Jin Dynasty?"

"Anu, this silver coin is very particular." Sima Fa touched the silver coin and said with a smile: "There is such a thing in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate it. That King Zhao is a If you have ideas, there will be no chance for someone who wants to use this to deal with the Northern Jin Dynasty in the future. If the Dajin silver coins are circulated in the world, I am afraid that the silver ingots in the world will fall into the hands of the Northern Jin Dynasty."

"In that case, why don't we imitate it?" Sima Nu suggested.

Sima Fa smiled wryly and said: "How can it be so easy? I have seen this silver coin several times. Its craftsmanship is far superior to the past. It is difficult to imitate the mold."

As the night deepened, Sima Nu bid farewell to Sima Fa and rode back to the mansion.

After entering the mansion, he went to the study, quietly opened the secret room, and walked in.

In the secret room, a weak candle flickered, and a man in sackcloth stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark wall of the secret room, covered with all kinds of swords.

"Number three, I'm back."

The man named No. [-] turned around slowly, revealing a face with an iron mask.

"Is there any news from Sima Fa?"

"Two days ago, Yu Wenshu's envoy met with Chen Qiujin, and the two sides basically reached an alliance, intending to jointly deal with Xiao Liang or the Lord." Sima Nu said slowly.

No. [-] sneered: "To deal with the master? Idiots!"

Sima Nu asked, "Does the lord have any other requirements?"

"Business as usual, use Sima Fa to restrict Nan Chen generals from continuing to go north." No. [-] said.

"I understand."
