Water Margin farming to become powerful

In June, Zongze committed suicide and Taiyuan surrendered. Before his death, Zongze wrote to Sun Xin and asked him to treat the people well, and went to Shubianliang to request that his family be exempted from guilt.

The negotiations with Li Qianshun are also coming to an end. Li Qianshun is a slippery guy.

In the history of Sun Xin's previous life, he was still doing well after surrendering to the Jin Kingdom. He even allowed the Jin Kingdom to help him fight in the war, and then asked the Jin Kingdom for rewards. This confused the Jurchens who regarded war as a business and wanted to make money. And Li Qianshun was really successful. He asked the Jurchens again and again for money, soldiers, food and land. After the Jurchens conquered the northern part of the Song Dynasty, Li Qianshun also followed behind to quietly expand the territory, successfully making Xixia gain a large piece of land. Fat meat.

However, there was nothing he could do when facing the Supervisory Committee Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun relies on the party members and the Hexi Corridor trade.

But the Trade Supervision Committee of the Hexi Corridor itself wants to promote it, and even the supervisory committee's own company is the largest exporter. As for who can provide better policies to businessmen, the Xixia State can't keep up with the supervisory committee.

As for the Dangxiang people, the reason why they were important in the past was because if you wanted to do business in the Xixia Kingdom, you had to obtain the consent of the Dangxiang people, otherwise any good thing would be ruined by them.

The only problem now is that Li Qianshun's Xixia Party members cannot defeat the Supervisory Committee.

Li Qianshun soon discovered that he did not have the strength to support all his demands.

Historically, the Xixia Kingdom was able to hold on to its one-third of an acre of land and do a good business of monopolizing commercial taxes, no matter which powers it faced. It was able to move easily between the Song, Jin and Liao Dynasties, until it encountered Mongolia, which relied on force to defeat skill. After controlling the trade routes and then defeating the party members, what is the need for the Xixia Kingdom to exist?So the Xixia Kingdom, which had been dancing on a few eggs all its life, quickly declined after several Mongolian-Xixia wars.

At this moment, Li Qianshun's strategic situation when facing Sun Xin was exactly the same, even worse than facing the Mongols, because Sun Xin not only monopolized some trade routes, but also monopolized the export trade.

Li Qianshun was vaguely aware of this, but when Sun Xin's army slowly advanced around Xingqing Mansion, he finally had to agree to jointly operate the Hexi Corridor with the Supervisory Committee.

What the Supervisory Committee finally got was something similar to a business hall, which could provide a place for all the merchants of the Supervisory Committee to buy, sell and store goods. At the same time, if the merchants of the Supervisory Committee broke the law in Xixia, the representatives of the Supervisory Committee and the Xixia Kingdom would discuss and deal with it.

Li Qianshun was relieved when he found that Sun Xin didn't come to check his taxes, but Sun Xin knew that this thing was called a colonial business house, where they jointly negotiated the power to commit crimes. Another name was called extraterritoriality. Party members still didn't know about these things. If you give them a little more time, they will slowly realize how powerful it is.

Sun Xin was not so unpromising as to want to run the Xixia Kingdom as a colony. This place was one of the ancestral lands of the Han people and would definitely be taken back slowly in the future.

Just because the continuous war has just ended, the Supervisory Committee has also spent a lot of resources and has no energy to fight another war, so Sun Xin decided to use the business hall to absorb a wave of blood first, and wait until the Supervisory Committee recharges its strength before slowly The treatment of Xixia.

……

The news of Wanyan Zonghan's death in battle spread to the north, causing huge waves again.

All because the inside of Jin Kingdom is like a pot of boiling oil. Any drop of water will cause the inside to explode.

The Jurchen regime was too primitive, and it was extremely difficult for them to rule the Liao region. In the original history, it was because they continued to receive war dividends that they kept moving forward. However, in this time and space, with the failure of foreign expeditions, Problems within the Jurchen regime were also quickly exposed.

At this time, the Jurchens had already been roughly divided into the main war faction and the peace faction.

The descendants of Wanyan Wu Qingmao, now the leader of the Jin Kingdom, are the backbone of the peace faction, and the main force of the war faction are the descendants of Wanyan Aguda.

The reason is very simple. The Jurchens still practice the system of brotherhood. The descendants of Wanyan Aguda all have ambitions to rise to the top. But at the same time, Wanyan Wu Qimai, who is in power, naturally wants to share many rights with him. sons.

Before the Southern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Wu Qimai's son Taishi Wanyan Zongpan and his ally Zuo Deputy Marshal Wanyan Talan came to power. The power in the country has been almost divided among Wanyan Wu Qimai's sons.The other children of Wanyan Aguda can only make the cake bigger and get more of themselves by acquiring new territories through foreign wars.

Originally, although the main peace faction held the power, the main war faction was actually stronger on paper. However, as Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi were all defeated, and Zongwang and Zonghan died in battle, the balance of strength within the Jurchens changed. The child loses its stability.

The defeat of the two armies gave Wanyan Zongpan more excuse.

In order to obtain Wanyan Zonghan's head, Wanyan Zongpan actually paid a high reward that even the Supervisory Committee had not imagined.

Then he used this as an excuse to return to China and accuse the main militant faction of being unfavorable in the war.

He proposed to merge with the Supervisory Committee and decided to return the Liao land south of the Great Wall to the Supervisory Committee.

The warring faction was naturally filled with indignation, but Wanyan Wu Qimai also supported Wanyan Zongpan's plan. At the same time, the warring faction within the Jurchen aristocracy also gained great popularity because of the complete defeat of the two southern invasions.

Many Jurchen nobles are inclined to seek peace. For them, the huge land north of the Great Wall of Liao is enough for them to eat and drink, and they also feel that the Jurchens no longer have the strength to go to war with the Supervisory Council in the short term.

The main fighting faction was isolated and helpless, but its strength was not eliminated. In desperation, they found the prince Wanyan Gao.

Wanyan Gao was also the younger brother of Wanyan Aguda. According to the system of brother-in-law succession, after Wanyan Wu Qimei died, the throne would be passed to Wanyan Gao.

This shows how nonsense this system is.

The Jurchens lived among the white mountains and black waters. Probably because the living conditions were too difficult, there were not many non-leader men in their prime who could live to a normal old age and death, so the dangers of brotherhood and the system were not yet apparent.

But once we enter the era of centralization, the incompatibility becomes apparent.

Wanyan Aguda ranked second among the brothers, Wanyan Wu ranked fourth among the beggars, and Wanyan Gao ranked fifth.

Wanyan Gao was just a few years younger than Wanyan Wu Qimai. Based on the average lifespan of Jurchens at this time, Wanyan Gao would be almost as old as Wanyan Wu Qimai if he died.

Moreover, Wanyan Gao was still a die-hard war party, and many of his policies were definitely in conflict with Wanyan Wu's policy.

Originally, in history, it was a good thing that Wanyan Gao died earlier than Wanyan Wu Qiu in a few years, otherwise the chaos within the Jurchens would have been impossible to suppress.

When the country was in chaos, they could only choose Wanyan Gao, a leader with completely contradictory policies and destined not to stay in power for long, as the crown prince. I wonder what kind of struggle the Jurchens would have after Wanyan Wu Qimai died.

But in this time and space, due to the butterfly effect caused by the Supervisory Council's defeat of the Jurchens, the character Wanyan Gao made his debut on the historical stage in advance.

In November of the first year of Jingkang, the internal struggle in the Jin Kingdom intensified. The sixth prince Wanyan Zongbi joined forces with the nobles of the main war faction of the Jin Kingdom to rebel. They killed the state counselor Wanyan Zongpan, imprisoned the emperor Wanyan Wu and begged for bribes, forcing him to give up the throne to Wanyan Gao. .
