The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 189: Kill the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Yu!

In the main hall, Wanyan Zongqian finally decided to beg for peace with the Han army, which was surprising, but neither Li Wenjia nor Da Guangnan was surprised.

The combat effectiveness displayed by the Han army was no weaker than that of the Jin army.

Moreover, the Jin army suffered a major defeat, coupled with internal strife, and its strength was greatly reduced.

It is not easy to continue the war now.

It is normal for big countries to negotiate and beg for peace.

undoubtedly.This time Jin Guo admitted defeat.

But, will the Han people accept it?
Li Wenjia and Da Guangnan complimented, frowned and exited the hall, ready to arrange this matter.

Wanyan Zongqian, on the other hand, was still sitting on the dragon throne, with a look of resentment on his face and his chest heaving violently. He was obviously very ashamed of begging for peace from the Han army.

At this time, a chamberlain came up, knelt at the feet of Wanyan Zongqian, lowered his head, and reported respectfully:

"Your Majesty, please send your servants to the north to ask for an audience!"

The northern appeasement envoys of the Jin Kingdom were military chiefs who specialized in appeasing and controlling the nomadic tribes on the grasslands.

Pusan ​​Loushi was Wanyan Zongqian's brother-in-law and an absolute confidant.

"Why did he come to Yanjing?"

"Let him in!"

A flash of doubt flashed in Wanyan Zongqian's eyes, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Soon, Pu Sanlou's room trotted in with a embarrassed look on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. The tribes such as Mierqi and Kelie on the grassland have rebelled and have already moved towards Shanxi. The general is incompetent and has been defeated!" Pusan ​​Loushi said in a lonely voice as he knelt on the ground.

"What? You...you were defeated? You loser!"

Wanyan Zongqian looked at Pusanlou's room in shock and disbelief.

Bad news just came from the northeast, and now bad news comes from the northwest, which is completely unacceptable to Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Jin Kingdom.

"The barbarian tribes on the grassland have long disliked our Kingdom of Jin. We sent envoys to appease them before, but they were all accepted by the tribes on the grassland. Now they have rebelled!"

Pu Sanlou's words made Wanyan Zongqian's face turn pale. He gritted his teeth and asked:
"Trash, trash, damn the barbarian tribe for going back on their word, damn it!"

"Your Majesty, my servant has confirmed that there are at least 2 of them. Moreover, this time they suddenly attacked my granary in Daijin. All our food was robbed. There are so many grassland barbarian tribes that we simply can't. We can’t resist! Please send troops to support me, as long as you give me [-] gold troops, I will definitely make them pay the price!"

Pusanlou's room asked the Emperor of Jin for military advice.

"Trash!" Wanyan Zongqian slapped the desk and said:

"You can't even defeat the grassland tribes. It's a shame. Now these grassland barbarians are raging in Shanxi, and I, Dajin, don't have the troops to rescue them!"

"What? No more soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, you must think of a way!"

Pusanlou's room begged with tears and runny noses.

"Go and summon all the ministers to discuss matters."

Although Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Kingdom of Jin was shocked and angry, he finally said to the guards on the side.

Soon a group of Jin ministers arrived. They were all frightened and angry when they heard that the barbarians were raging on the Shanxi grassland, attacking the city, looting the land, burning, killing and looting.

"What do you think we should do now?" Wanyan Zongqian asked, looking at the ministers.

The ministers looked at each other, and although they were quite angry, they all shook their heads in the end.

The current situation is already very unfavorable to Daikin.

In the northwest, there are Han troops stationed and Goryeo troops.

There is a Han army in Yangzhou, and the strength of the Han army is enough to give them a headache.

However, the strength of the Kingdom of Jin was greatly reduced.

No one in the Kingdom of Jin dared to act rashly.

"Your Majesty, I feel that we might as well give up the population of Shanxi. As long as those prairie barbarians have taken enough, they will retreat on their own. It is not worth our Dajin warriors spending manpower and material resources to protect the people of Shanxi. After all, the people of Shanxi are all Han!"

At this time, Prime Minister Zuo Daguangnan stood up and said to Wanyan Zongqian.

Hearing this, Wanyan Zongqian frowned.

Prime Minister Zuo Daguangnan's proposal is currently the better way.

indeed.

In Shanxi, grassland barbarians are raging. Rather than going to the trouble of protecting them, it’s better not to let them go.

However, at this time, Emperor Wanyan Zongqian of the Kingdom of Jin had to be deeply worried about the current situation in Dajin.

……

Jiangnan built Kangcheng.

Liu Yu led generals Guan Yu, Zhang Ren, Yue Fei and others to inspect a military camp outside Jiankang City.

"Your Majesty, our Han Jiankang New Army has been prepared. Please come in for a military parade!" Xun You said respectfully to Liu Yu at the gate of the military camp.

"Okay, I will go take a look now." Liu Yu nodded, and then led a group of people to the school grounds in the military camp.

Although he could mobilize the army of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu hoped to cultivate an elite army in the Song Dynasty plane and eventually feed the Han Dynasty.

The school grounds were densely packed with soldiers.

All of them were wearing black armor, holding long spears, with burning eyes and murderous intent, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

These new soldiers, totaling [-] soldiers, were recruited from among the young and strong people.

His physical fitness is extremely strong, and after several months of training, he has become an elite soldier.

"Generals, I am here to watch you train the new army!" On the high platform, Liu Yu looked around and asked in a deep voice.

Guan Yu, Zhang Ren and other generals all shouted solemnly and roared.

"I am willing to die for the prince!"

"I am willing to die for the prince!"

"."

Everyone on the school grounds knelt down on one knee towards Liu Yu and shouted.

The momentum is mighty and majestic.

The people watching outside the military camp cheered.

Subsequently, these new troops conducted exercises.

After Liu Yu looked at it, he nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhang Ren, who was in charge of training:
"Very good. Today's trial exercise was very successful. I am very pleased."

"However, I would also like to remind you that you must remember that you must not be complacent or complacent if you do not go to the battlefield, do not become an iron-blooded soldier, and do not slack off in training."

"Yes, I will obey the prince's teachings!"

Zhang Ren said solemnly.

Finally, the new soldiers in these military academies began to shoot and use heavy long-range equipment such as return artillery, and conducted shooting tests.

There were even two thousand Mo Dao who appeared, which was quite majestic, and Liu Yu couldn't help but nod.

The weapon-making technology of the Southern Song Dynasty was also very strong. The Mo Dao was made in the Southern Song Dynasty and was even sharper.

"My lord, it's getting late. There are still a few hours to complete the training of the new army. Why don't you go back to the city to rest first?" Zhang Ren suggested to Liu Yu.

When Liu Yu heard this, he shook his head and said:
"The soldiers can train. I am just watching them. How can I go back to the city just because it is getting late?" "Moreover, the soldiers have been training hard for several months. I personally watched them and gave my evaluation. Have the utmost respect for them!”

Liu Yu's words made Zhang Ren look solemn. Soon the whole army knew what Liu Yu had said, and they practiced even harder.

However, soon, the entire military camp became noisy and excited.

But it was because news came that the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin came to Jiankang. The Kingdom of Jin sent envoys, hoping to negotiate peace with the Han people. Dajin hopes to negotiate peace with the Han people. As long as the Han people are willing to agree, all conditions can be negotiated! !
This news directly detonated the military camp.

Not only that, the people in Yangzhou and Jiankang were all excited.

Inside the military camp.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchen Tartars have sent people to ask for a meeting. They want to negotiate a truce with your Majesty!" Jia Xu, who came in a hurry, reported to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu frowned when he heard this: "Wen He, are you sure?"

"Replying to the prince, it is absolutely true. The Jurchen envoy, with a cavalry, has crossed the Yangtze River and arrived ten miles west of our city." Jia Xu replied.

Guan Yu, Zhang Ren, Yue Fei and others all looked at Liu Yu.

There was indescribable excitement on their faces.

Obviously, they felt very excited about the Jin Kingdom's begging for peace.

In response, Liu Yu sneered.

"Haha, is the Jin Kingdom afraid? It is precisely because they are afraid of our Han army that they beg for peace!"

"It's just that not everyone is as easy to talk to as Zhao Song!"

"Yun Chang, take your people immediately and kill all the Jurchen envoys. Their heads will be hung on the city tower. Use your actions to tell the world that I, a big man, will never make peace with the Jurchen bandits. Since I have harmed my Han people, I will only Use your strength to kill them and take back everything you lost!" Liu Yu said sternly.

After Liu Yu finished speaking, the bodies of the generals shook wildly.

"No!" Guan Yu cupped his hands and turned around to leave.

Looking at Guan Yu's retreating back, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"The Jurchen Tartars dare to invade China, so don't blame me for being rude!" Liu Yu's voice reached everyone's ears. The generals understood Liu Yu's character of vengeance, but they were even more excited.

Only Jia Xu and Xun You shook their heads and mourned for the Kingdom of Jin in their hearts.

The news that the Jurchen Tartar envoy was killed quickly spread throughout Jiangnan.

When the Han people heard about it, they were all very happy and cheered.

...

Jiankang, in the palace.

Liu Yu's concubine Wu also heard about Liu Yu's act of killing the Jurchen envoy and was expressing her admiration to Liu Yu.

"Your Majesty is wise, the Jurchens really deserve to be killed!" Wu said with a smile while pouring wine for Liu Yu.

Her parents and brothers were all killed by the Jurchens, so she naturally hated the Jurchens very much.

"The Jurchens naturally deserve to die, and it will be time for them to pay a heavy price." Liu Yu said with a smile.

Wu quickly nodded in agreement: "If it hadn't been for the prince, we would have become prisoners of the Jurchens. Where would we be today? However, the prince has stayed up late recently correcting memorials, so please pay attention to your health and don't be too tired, otherwise, I feel sorry for you!"

"Haha, okay, I know it well, you don't have to worry." Liu Yu touched Wu with a smile and said.

"You have been with me for more than a month. Why is there still no movement in your stomach? Could it be that I have not worked hard enough?" Liu Yu smiled and looked at Wu and said.

When Mrs. Wu heard this, her face was filled with shyness: "My lord, you are so bad, how can you say that?"

"Haha~" Liu Yu laughed loudly and said: "Okay, I am just joking with you. Don't mind. However, you should also hurry up. Otherwise, when I come to the throne, your child will If you were not born, you would not get many benefits and rewards!"

"My lord, what are you talking about?" Wu said in a low voice with a red face but her eyes moved.

She naturally understood what Liu Yu said. Was he going to make her child the crown prince?

"Haha, come on! I will try my best again." Liu Yu waved his hand and picked up Wu.

……

In the eyes of outsiders, after Liu Yu's victory, he prepared his army for war, mobilized granaries, and trained new soldiers.

In fact, this is also Liu Yu's next strategy.

Regarding the Jurchens in the north, Liu Yu no longer regarded them as matching opponents.

The Jurchens are fully prepared, but there are only 30 million people. Even if the integrated Bohai people, Heishui people, etc. are added, the number will not exceed 70 million.

With such a small population, Liu Yu's several major victories wiped out tens of thousands of elites. It can be said that the backbone has been planned.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Zongqian, who had just come to power, to send people to sue for peace.

The problems Liu Yu wants to solve now are mainly his own problems.

He, Liu Yu, wanted to build a strong country and a strong army.

Now, many Han uprisings have emerged in large areas of northern land.

In the process of expelling the Tartars, many talents will emerge.

These talents are also very important for Liu Yu to re-establish a new look in the future.

Because he, Liu Yu, wanted to absorb it.

For a truly powerful country, the carrion-like kings and bureaucrats must be replaced with fresh flesh that grows out, and the only outcome of the carrion is to be cut off.

The imperial examination bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were completely unable to govern the country well.

Even if Liu Yu restored the Han people, these imperial examination bureaucrats still could not bring the Central Plains back to its peak.

In Liu Yu's view, the imperial examination bureaucracy had led the Zhao and Song emperors into a dead end. Even if they continued, there would be no good results.

According to the trend of history, the biggest enemy of the Central Plains in the future will not be the Jurchens or the Party members, but the Mongols on the grasslands.

Although the Mongols at this time had not yet formed, they were just a group of scattered tribes.

However, the combat effectiveness of various grassland tribes has been significantly improved compared to the previous Huns, Turks, etc.

Even the Jurchens at their peak could not defeat the pre-steppe Mongols simply militarily. They had to use political strategies such as win-win and division.

In another 30 years, a generation of genius Genghis Khan will be born on the grassland.

At that time, if the new empire developed according to the Zhao and Song model, it would have probably entered a quiet period of inaction.

It will probably be difficult to contain the rise of the Mongols.

For the Central Plains dynasty, simply sending out troops to kill and burn them all would not be effective all the time in order to win the grassland.

Without the powerful productivity of the Central Plains to crush, the means of military conquest would be a bottomless pit. After all the financial resources of the Central Plains regime were exhausted, it would also fall apart.

Therefore, Liu Yu's plan is to create a new Han Empire!

An empire based on productivity that far exceeded the times and powerful military conquest as a means.

To accomplish all this, the spiritual world of the Han people must be reshaped and strengthened!
And this new big man will definitely be a nightmare for all his neighbors!

Of course, before that, if Liu Yu wanted to build a new and powerful empire, his first step was to "publicly sentence Zhao Gou."

The twelfth lunar month of the year [-].

Liu Yu officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the built Kangcheng. His country was named Han. He rebuilt Kangcheng and named it Yingtianfu. As the capital of the Han Dynasty, his reign was named Hongwu!

The great Han Hongwu!

The first imperial decree of Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu, was to order the kings and ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasties to be sentenced in Yingtianfu Gonglai to the thieves of the country led by Emperor Zhao Gou and others of the Zhao Song Dynasty, who caused thousands of Han people to suffer the trampling of foreigners.
