Chapter 1041 Southern Expedition and Northern Expedition - Haogu Demolition
Zhao Ji said: "Then mobilize a cavalry and two infantry from the Hedong Army. Zhe Keshi leads it to the Zhendingfu Road, and then order Wang Ying to serve as the Dingzhou Road Pacification Envoy. Zhe Keshi takes office as Dingzhou Road, and the general manager of the Zhendingfu Road Army and Horse Capital, together with the Zhending Road Regiment Training Ambassador Han Xiaozhou, to try to rescue Zhong Fu's troops!
In addition, Wu Haogu and Ye Zuqia should also mobilize troops from the East Road to advance west, and cooperate with the elite soldiers from Zhendingfu Road to rescue Zhong Fu."
Zhang Shuye and Wang Bing met, and they all knew that Hebei would soon be defeated again! But what else could it be? The officials of the Song Dynasty like to command blindly, and the only exception was probably the late Emperor Zhezong.
...
When Zhao Ji was still halfway through the book making for Wu Haogu, Wu Haogu, who was temporarily still in the Hebei Xuanfu envoy, was already in contact with major figures in the Liao Kingdom. However, it was not about "traiting the country" but about "buying land".
Of course, "buying land" is for "development". He planned to buy all the prefectures and nine provinces in Yan land, and then develop them into a "military autonomous region". In addition to the direct jurisdiction of one prefecture, the remaining nine provinces will be packaged and sent to the powerful people in Yan land. Basically, it is the same as the demolition and relocation in later generations, and there is also a 50,000-strong demolition army led by Zhao Zhongge!
So I am not afraid of not being able to remove the Nanjing Road of Liao Kingdom!
The representatives of the Yan land tyrants were Ma Zhi, Ma Zhi, the nephew of Zhang Lin, and Zhang Jue, the nephew of Zhang Lin. The former is now the Shuhua Army, and the latter is the secret order of Yelu Yanxi to come to Jiehe Shang City from Dingzhou. Yelu Yanxi did not know that Wu Haogu was the number one war faction in the Song Dynasty, so she wanted to negotiate with Zhao Ji through his way.
Therefore, Zhang Jue, the Nanjing Road Police Patrol who was following him, served as a secret envoy to Jiehe Shangshi City to see Wu Haogu. Zhang Jue used his power to recruit Ma Zhi, who was leading troops in Zhongjing Road, and went to Jiehe Shangshi to negotiate the issue of "demolition compensation" with Wu Haogu.
"Pingzhou is the hometown of the Zhang family. The position of Pingzhou Observer was naturally replaced by the Zhang family. Yingzhou can be given to the Ma family, Luanzhou and the entire west of the Luan River to Zhong Ge'er."
Pingzhou, which belongs to Liao, has two concepts. One is Pingzhou, Jiedu Prefecture. In addition to its own territory, there are two prefectures, Luanzhou and Yingzhou. The other concept is the area directly under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou. Now Wu Haogu wants to allocate it to the uncle and nephew of the Zhang family, of course, the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou, and the Ma family is Yingzhou, which controls the dangerously important part of Yuguan (Shanhaiguan). The two families occupy almost half of Pingzhou, which is the Jiedu Prefecture.
The other half should include the west of the Luan River where Kailuan Coal Mine is located, and they will be handed over to Brother Zhao Zhong.
At this time, the Luan River also had good navigation capabilities, which were inland rivers that directly connected to the sea. In other words, if the coal mines in Kailuan can be developed, they can enter the Bohai sea transportation system through the Luan River.
In addition, Tangshan in later generations was a steel city, with not only coal, but also a lot of iron ore. If it could be developed, it might become an iron city comparable to Xuzhou.
Therefore, the land in Luanzhou must be controlled by the most confidant subordinates!
"Dalang," Ma Zhi is very familiar with Wu Haogu, so he doesn't call him Xuan Shuai, but calls him "Dalang". "Is it a little smaller to give only one Pingzhou in the Zhang family? The Zhang family is very favored by the emperor in Liao Kingdom. Although it is not one of the four Yan families, its actual status is no less than that of the three Zhao, Liu, and Ma families. At least it has to give Ping and Ying two provinces, right?"
The Han family among the Yan Si family has a transcendent status. There are a bunch of people in the family who are given the surname "Yelu", and there is also a Prince Wenzhong's mansion, which is one of the palace guards of the Khitan. Basically, it is slightly worse than the Yelu royal family and the Xiao clan, so it is difficult to win over their family. However, the "Zhao, Liu, and Ma" families cannot follow the Khitan people to the point of being black, it is just a matter of compensation.
As a rising star among the Yanyun families, the Zhang family in Pingzhou is very strong in Pingzhou and has enough strength to win Ping and Ying the two states.
However, Wu Haogu can only use nine states to win over the Yan family. The Zhang family took two, and Zhao Zhong Ge took one. The Murong family and Ximen family who have followed Wu Haogu for many years must also give one. This has gone to five states... The demolition compensation is a bit too much!
"Then where are your Ma family?" Wu Haogu asked with a frown.
"We don't want any state in the nine states of Yandi."
"Don't have territory?" Wu Haogu said in his heart: Don't have land compensation, do you need cash compensation?
"Of course I want the territory," Ma Zhi smiled, "but Yan land is too crowded! There are only nine prefectures and one prefecture in total. Among them, Xijin Prefecture must be from the Wu family, the Ximen family and the Murong family must each take one state, the Zhao family, the Zhang family, and the Liu family need at least two states... How much more can my Ma family get?"
Don’t move back? That’s to make compensation in another place, so that you can get more territory.
"Do you want Xianzhou or Zhongjing Road?" Wu Haogu asked.
Lushan, the Ma family’s old nest medical service, is located in Xianzhou, the westmost part of Tokyo Road, but the Ma family is in Jinzhou, east of Zhongjing Road, and Yizhou is also very powerful.
"No." Ma Zhi shook his head and smiled, "Although Xianzhou, Jinzhou and Yizhou are good, they are not easy to defend. My family has been a scholar for generations, so they are not good at fighting and killing."
Xian, Jin and Yi are just stuck in the Liaoxi Corridor. Once the Liao Kingdom is in chaos, the Liaoxi Corridor will definitely be a goal that all parties have to compete for, and the Ma family cannot defend their little capital.
"Then where are your home?"
"How about Chenzhou, Suzhou?" Ma Zhi asked.
Chenzhou is the Yingkou area of later generations, while Suzhou refers to the Dalian area of later generations. These two places are the main harbors of Liaodong Road at present, and the location is relatively remote, making it easy to gain a foothold and develop in troubled times.
"Good place!" Wu Haogu laughed. In fact, if Ma Zhi didn't propose, Wu Haogu would also send someone to snatch Chenzhou and Suzhou!
"Then how do you Ma's family plan to take Chenzhou and Suzhou?" Wu Haogu asked.
"Of course I took it from the Song Dynasty!" Ma Zhi smiled, "There is still a big deal to do by the way."
"Big deal? What kind of big deal?"
Ma Zhi said: "Food! Food from Tokyo Road!"
"How many?"
Ma Zhi stretched out three fingers, "Three million stones!"
“What price?”
"Three million... I want gold, silver, copper coins, and silk!"
Wu Haogu was silent for a while, "It's a little expensive, but I and Er Ge Ma have been friends for many years. This price can be paid. But how to deliver it? Now neither Chenzhou Port nor Suzhou Port are allowed to enter our ship."
Ma Zhi smiled and said, "If they don't allow you to stop going? When did your warship be so reasonable? The grain will be transported to Chenzhou and Suzhou, with a total of 3.5 million stones, and you will be charged 3 million stones. As for how to withdraw, you can find a way for yourself. After the withdrawal, don't rush to retreat, as someone will lead troops to seize the city."
