The struggle of the reborn prince

Today, the Arab world in West Asia, the Asian continent, has entered the brink of splitting due to the defeat of the Seljuk Empire Sanjar, and Baghdad was breached and the caliphate was threatened, which also reduced its appeal. All the lords are taking the opportunity to expand their territories and disputes Constantly, there is no time to move westward for a while, and Zhao Tang also knows that the Crusaders will soon launch the Eastern Expedition again. They will be busy resisting foreign enemies, and the chaos will end only when a new generation of "heroes to save the world" appear.

Central Asia and East Asia are now ruled by four kingdoms: Xixia, Xiliao, Jin and Song.After Zhao Tun came to the throne, he relied on his powerful military force to conquer the east and west, and used economic means to win over his opponents, thus changing the whole situation.Now Xixia has surrendered and is firmly tied to the chariot of the Song Dynasty; under the attack of the Song Dynasty, the once-tyrannical Jin Kingdom has shrunk its territory greatly, occupying the Liaodong and Liaoxi regions, and controlling a small number of Mobei regions. But its influence has been severely weakened, and it can only be called a regional power.

The early development of Xiliao coincided with the period when the Song Dynasty was invaded by the Kingdom of Jin. It was also because the Kingdom of Jin focused its attention on the Central Plains and had no time to look west, which made Xiliao develop and grow rapidly, and was able to stabilize its position. place of development.In the next period of time, Song Dynasty tried its best to use troops against Jin and develop production to restore its vitality, and the two countries were separated by thousands of miles. contacts.

However, as Zhao Tong completed internal integration, economic recovery, and the signing of the Song-Jin peace agreement, he turned his attention to Mobei, intending to include this land in the territory of the Song Dynasty, thereby further reducing the sphere of influence of the Jin Dynasty and completing the control of the Jin Dynasty. strategic encirclement.And in this way.Song will enter the traditionally controlled areas of Xiliao, and conflicts will be inevitable.But before Zhao Tun completed the war against Jin.He didn't want to have a substantive conflict with Xiliao, let alone be dragged into the chaotic situation in Central and West Asia.loss of military and financial resources.

Therefore, when Zhao Tuo formulated the policy towards Xiliao, he demanded to maintain a certain degree of restraint. It was best not to fight, and when it was inevitable, the scale of the conflict should be reduced as much as possible, leaving room for relaxation.However, Yelu Dashi was defeated in the battle for Gaochang, and he also keenly discovered the gap in strength between himself and the Song Dynasty, decisively ended the conflict with the Song Dynasty, and formed an anti-gold alliance with it.But now that Yelu Dashi died, things became uncertain.If it is not done well, this weak alliance will collapse.

Now that the Kingdom of Jin took advantage of the new death of Yelu Dashi, the orphans and widows sent people to surrender, and the envoy was chopped off by Xiao Ta Buyan because of his disrespect. Isn't this an opportunity sent by God.Zhao Tong immediately summoned a group of ministers to report the matter, saying that there was an ancient ritual of 'soldiers are not punished for funerals', and the Jurchens were so frantic that they wanted to take this opportunity to send troops to annex Xiliao.My Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, how can I sit back and watch this kind of thing that violates benevolence and righteousness happen.

As soon as Zhao Tun said this, the government and the public all expressed great indignation.He urgently summoned the envoys of various countries stationed in the Great Song Dynasty, claiming that if the Kingdom of Jin dared to use troops against Xiliao, the Great Song Dynasty would never allow it to act recklessly and would definitely send troops to assist.Crusade Jurchen.After Da Song issued a statement, he sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to submit a letter of credence, denouncing his despicable behavior of taking advantage of the fire.Warn him not to use force against Xiliao, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will do justice for the sky.

In order to show that Da Song's words mean what he says.It's not a joke, Zhao Tun ordered to mobilize [-] troops from Fusi of Datong Town to reinforce Dading Mansion.The Hezhong and Hedong two state troops moved towards Mobei, making a gesture of fighting.At the same time, all the negotiating fields adjacent to the Jin Dynasty were closed, merchants from the Kingdom of Jin were prohibited from entering the territory to trade, and the Song Dynasty was strictly prohibited from exporting grain, salt, tea, silk and other daily necessities to the Jin Dynasty.

Seeing Song's attitude, the countries were astonished and had to admire his courage. For an irrelevant country, he did not hesitate to use force to uphold justice, and suffered huge economic losses. He felt that following such a boss That's right, so there has been a crusade against Jin in the international arena, and they have learned from Song Dynasty to terminate trade with Jin and impose economic sanctions on it.

In fact, Zhao Tang knew very well that recruiting Xiliao was nothing more than Wanyan Quan's whimsy after drinking too much wine. Even if he didn't say anything, the Jurchen could not complete the expedition to Xiliao, and the result could only be to swallow the bad breath and drink more. A few glasses of wine may completely forget this matter.It's just a matter of watching the excitement, so that there is no room for maneuver in the relationship between the two countries. At the same time, it uses this incident to portray Jin Guo as an evil country, misleading international public opinion, and strengthening the country. The relationship with Xiliao separates the relationship between other countries and the Kingdom of Jin...

Zhao Tong's move was indeed damaging enough. Not only did it isolate the Kingdom of Jin politically, but economic sanctions also put its fragile finances into trouble.Looking at Wan Yanquan who was still drinking in the main hall, he was so angry that Wu Shu came to discuss the matter with his illness, and he worked hard to keep his ancestral foundation, and his heart was broken, and he was tired of many diseases.But the perpetrator was drunk like a normal person, and if he wanted to teach him a lesson, he probably wouldn't be able to hear it.

Wu Shu had no choice but to cheer up his nephew's ass for the sake of the country and clean up the mess he left behind.But the impact of this matter is too great, and it is continuous. It cannot be completely resolved with a statement. As the instigator, Zhao Er is not so easy to dismiss. I don't know what conditions will be raised!But Wushu knew that this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and he had to admit it while pinching his nose. Otherwise, if it continued, the economy that had just improved would face collapse again.

After consultations, Wushu first sent an envoy to Song Dynasty, claiming that the matter of persuading Xiliao to surrender was just a misunderstanding. Only then did a series of unpleasant things happen, and they would never do anything to violate Xiliao.He completely shifted the responsibility to the dead, and only admitted that he had improperly employed people and was negligent.

Unexpectedly, this was caught by Zhao Tang again, and he angrily accused him of being insincere at all, and the explanation was far-fetched. No one would believe that an envoy would be so bold and dare to change the holy will without authorization. Audio-visual, in view of his past actions, it is unbelievable for Jin to guarantee that he will not invade Liao, so he should seriously review his words and deeds, and give a satisfactory answer to the people of all countries, and promise that he will never invade Xiliao.

But when the two sides were arguing with each other, the closed discussion field was reopened with restrictions, and business was started.Zhao Tong understands that countries that have been at war with each other since ancient times often do not cut off economic ties. During wars, countries trade with their enemies mainly because all parties believe that such exchanges will bring benefits to themselves and will not threaten their economic prosperity.

Now the prosperity of Song Dynasty's overseas trade has greatly developed the shipbuilding industry, which requires a lot of timber. The vast forests of Liaodong can provide high-quality and cheap timber, which has become the focus of trade between the two countries.And this time everyone knows that it is impossible to fight, not to mention the conditions offered by the Kingdom of Jin are really attractive, so the quarrel is in full swing on the surface, but the business between the two countries is still booming in private, which does not hinder the relationship at all. Da Song made a lot of money from it, which can be described as both fame and fortune.

Zhao Tong has become the boss here and became the adjudicator, and the task force far away in Mulayi has become a legend at the moment. They not only eradicated the bandits entrenched in the desert and the contact point in Damascus, but During the day, the six castle masters, including the successors of the Ismaili faction, escaped unscathed, which was enough to shock the Arab world.It is a pity that these rangers disappeared without a trace like a frightened bird. Now not only the Mulayi Kingdom is looking for their traces, but also those who have been bullied by the Mulayi Kingdom are also looking for them. It's because no one knows where they are hiding, let alone meet each other!

After a fight in the once tyrannical Mulayi Kingdom, Sheikh Umid was still stronger than them, and finally quelled the civil strife, but they also paid a very heavy price. More than 50 senior missionaries died in mutual assassination, which can be said to have paid a great price.Only then did the people who calmed down realize that they might have fallen into the trap of others, and it was their well-planned attacks that led to the civil unrest.

After careful investigation and analysis, the results shocked the bigwigs of the Mulayi Kingdom even more. These assassins came from outside, and all the surrounding countries and lords who dared to challenge their authority had already died under the dagger of Feidayi.So who planned this conspiracy against them?According to the weapons used by the assassins, they concluded that the assassins were probably the Eastern Empire that was good at using firearms.

As for why this bad luck happened, the bigwigs of the Mulayi Kingdom knew it well. This was the Eastern Empire's revenge for their assassination of their emperor, blood for blood.But what is strange is that it has been a month since the assassination took place, and the assassins have neither acted again nor stated the purpose of their actions.And this kind of assassination without appeal is even more terrifying, which shows that this is only the beginning of the action, not the end.

As the ruler of the country of assassins, Umid felt fear for the first time. From the preparations and methods of the other party's actions, he knew that this was a group of extremely professional assassins, and they were extremely cunning. Their previous actions were to use a series of peripheral actions. Disturbing the line of sight, misleading one's own judgment, and then weakening one's own strength by provoking civil strife, this is something that many countries could not do with large armies in the past, and I have not even seen the appearance of my opponent.

Thinking about how the other side only sent such a small team, they tossed themselves so embarrassingly, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and their ultimate goal needless to say was themselves.Thinking of this, Umid shuddered. He somewhat regretted that he was misled by his past successes and recklessly sent assassins to the east to assassinate... (To be continued...)
