Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 448 Diplomacy

Jin Wang Chage of Xixia has been imprisoned by Liangshan for more than two months. During these two months, he has become extremely haggard. He has an unshaven beard, thin body, and yellow face. He can't come out.

For more than two months, Liang Shan did not look for him, but transported him from Shangjing to Zhongjing, and then kept him in the prison in Zhongjing.

He was worried about his own fate. He didn't know what was waiting for him, whether it was death or life imprisonment. Second, he was worried about the future and fate of Xixia. Liangshan's troops were far stronger than his Unexpectedly, none of his [-] elite soldiers could match Liang Shan, let alone the remaining soldiers. Facing such a powerful Liang Shan, what should Xixia do?

"Liangshan is stronger than the Khitan back then! The territory they rule now is exactly the same as the Liao Kingdom back then, but his soldiers are much braver than the Khitan soldiers! The Jurchens should have been completely defeated by them, otherwise I would not be able to Shangjing came to Zhongjing! We Xixia can only bow our heads and surrender now, just like we did to the Liao Kingdom! But I am afraid that after surrendering, Liangshan will still refuse to let us Xixia!"

"Liangshan is Han people, and Song Dynasty is also Han people. Between Han people and Han people, internal fighting is much more intense than external fighting! For Han people, their own talents are the most terrifying! Yes, their own talents are the most terrifying. Liangshan will definitely First go to war with the Great Song Dynasty, and then it is possible to attack us in Xixia! We still have a chance, if we recruit troops on a large scale and continue to build passes, we can still block Liangshan!"

In the prison, Jin Wang Chage thinks about these things every day.It's a pity that no matter how much he thinks, he can't leave here, and he can't pass his thoughts to Xixia.

From June to late August, the weather gradually became cooler, and he was finally released on this day.The soldiers gave him a horse, and he followed the Liangshan army towards the south under the care of countless soldiers.

"Where are we going?" Brother Cha couldn't help but ask.

"Go to Yanjing!" At this time, a middle-aged man came to Cha Ge's side and said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Brother Cha looked at this somewhat elegant Han man in surprise. He thought that no one would pay attention to him, but he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to talk to him.

"My name is Zhu Wu." The middle-aged man said.

"Zhu Wu?" Brother Cha was taken aback, he had never heard of this person.

Xixia's understanding of Liangshan is very limited. They only know Wudong, Huarong and other top leaders, but they don't know Zhu Wu at all.

"My lord, what are we going to Yanjing for?" Brother Cha asked again.

"My Liangshan has moved the capital to Yanjing, and you will live in Yanjing from now on." Zhu Wu said.

"I am the Jin King of Xixia. When I attacked Shangjing, Shangjing was the territory of the Jurchens. I did not offend you Liangshan! Master Zhu, please let me go." Brother Cha said sincerely.

"Let you go? Haha, I don't have the right!" Zhu Wu shook his head.

"I was captured by you, didn't our Xixia emperor send someone to ask for me?" Brother Cha said unwillingly.

"Ask for you? His Royal Highness, I think your emperor will be very happy after you are arrested! I know that you are a powerful minister of Xixia, and you have a high prestige in the Xixia army. Be cautious! You were arrested, he wished we could kill you now, why would he come to beg for you?" Zhu Wu said.

"This..." Brother Cha was taken aback, his face darkened.

"Let's go, let's go to Yanjing. I can chat with you along the way to relieve boredom." Zhu Wu said with a smile.

Zhu Wu was with Brother Cha along the way, and they chatted about the general trend of the world, many of which were related to Xixia!Brother Cha has a deep affection for Xixia, and he won't say anything secret!But after several days of contact, Zhu Wu still has a great understanding of the customs of Xixia!He also had a general impression of Xixia in his mind.

"Xixia, like Khitan, is also a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural country! After 200 years of development, Xixia has been unable to leave farming, and fewer and fewer people still live a nomadic life! Dealing with such a country is more important than dealing with pure nomads The nation is much simpler! Most of their population can’t leave the city and their hometown, and after conquering Xixia in the future, it will be relatively easy to rule there.”

"Xixia is also the supremacy of imperial power. The emperor is the lord of the world in name! We will use troops to Xixia in the future, we only need to conquer the Zhongxing Mansion in Yinchuan, the capital of Xixia, and capture the emperor of Xixia, and Xixia will be in danger of perishing! Or we can Send heavy troops to encircle Yinchuan, implement siege and rescue, and the entire Xixia army must rush there to rescue!"

Zhu Wu continued to analyze Xixia along the way, and recorded some of his thoughts.

When he came to Shanhaiguan, Zhu Wu had already recorded many things, and he submitted them to Wu Dong. After Wu Dong read them, he was overjoyed.

"We haven't established an intelligence agency in Xixia yet. It's amazing that you can learn so much through talking with Brother Cha! From now on, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be responsible for relations with Xixia, Great Song, Mongolia, Dongying and other places! From now on We in Liangshan will continue to fight. Every time we attack a place, we must ensure that the rest of the country maintains peace with us! When attacking Xixia, the Song Dynasty must not use troops against us at the same time! When attacking Mongolia, Xixia must Anwen, these are the responsibilities of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Wu Dong said with a smile.

"It sounds like this is somewhat similar to the previous strategists." Zhu Wu said.

"Yes!" Wu Dong nodded.

"Governor, we won't use troops this year! From this year to next year, we need to develop for a long time. For the time being, we need to maintain a certain good relationship with the surrounding countries." Zhu Wu said.

"We didn't know how to use troops, but we just got the information that the Mongolian tribes on the grassland are gathering in large numbers. They are likely to go south. The army may have a battle plan against the Mongols." Wu Dong said.

"Are we going to send troops north?" Zhu Wu asked in surprise.

"Yes! We are afraid that the Death Army will be difficult to deal with. We may send some people to enter the grassland again, but they will not stay in the grassland permanently. They just attack by surprise." Wu Dong said.

"I understand!" Zhu Wu nodded.

For their Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is still necessary to ensure the peace of Liangshan and the rest of the places, and not allow the rest of the places to attack Liangshan.

Everyone worked hard, and on September 9th, Wu Dong and others finally arrived in Yanjing City.

They first arrange the resident of the central government!Now the central government mainly consists of five major ministries: military, economics, foreign affairs, propaganda, and law!Among them, the military department has the highest status, the military department has the largest number of personnel, and the military department occupies the largest area!The Ministry of Economy chaired by Li Gang and Gongsun Sheng is second only to the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Propaganda is third, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is fourth. The Ministry of Law has just been established. There are not many personnel yet, and Lin Chong still needs to recruit people.

All the institutions and personnel of the five major ministries together occupy more than half of the area of ​​Yanjing Imperial Palace.

Both Hua Rong and Li Gang felt that something was wrong. They felt that they should collect land from outside and build the government outside the palace.Throughout the dynasties, although the imperial palace also had the functions of discussing government affairs, etc., the main function of the imperial palace was still the emperor's home!How can there be any reason why government agencies occupy more than half of the palace?

Wu Dong didn't take it seriously, the palace was too big, and he himself was not used to it.He can't use such a big palace at all. It's a waste of resources to only have his family here.If it is necessary to requisition land and build government buildings, it will take time on the one hand and consume people's resources and material resources on the other. Now that Liangshan is about to build on a large scale, how can resources be consumed in these areas?

Under Wu Dong's strong insistence, the government was finally placed in the palace.

It was not until the end of September that the major government agencies began to operate.
