Chapter 851 Double Insurance

"Is this Mogus reliable?" Mr. Zhong asked happily or sadly.

Wang Ju spread his hands. It was the first time he even heard this name, so how could he know whether it was reliable?

However, Wang Ju was stunned and said, "Jianzhong, you must lead tens of thousands of troops immediately and return to Yanzhou first."

Mogus sent a piece of information that the Liao Kingdom quelled the Liaodong rebellion and the army retreated. This statement was not very accurate.

Not long ago, several fast ships arrived at Mizhou Port with many families of the Jurchen leader. The weather was mainly cold in the north and sailed against the wind, so they arrived at Mizhou Port relatively late.

The reason why these leaders' families came was that the failure of the rebellion was a foregone conclusion. In order to stabilize the hearts of each leader, Lu Hui persuaded them to transfer their wives and children. However, Lu Hui still did not say that they would transfer to the Song Dynasty, but to Japan. However, Lu Hui also instructed that if the arrangement was made, they would ask their family to draw some specific characters or tokens, but only they themselves knew these characters and tokens.

There is no way, there is almost no literate person when you give birth to a Jurchen.

The people of the Central Plains have been hospitality since ancient times, and they have greatly helped the Song Dynasty.

After arriving in Mizhou, the court immediately issued an edict asking Mizhou officials to immediately give a lot of money and money for houses, food and clothing, and make sure to make proper arrangements.

It was safe and far beyond the expectations of these families. They naturally handed over the seals that each reported their safety to Lu Hui. Those who were smart could even use these seals to express more complex meanings. Not only did they come over safely, but they were also very good here.

Lu Hui's subordinates returned to Liaodong with some scarce supplies and these seals, without worries, and each of them could work hard.

This was also the arrangement that Wang Ju ordered last year. The difficulty of handling was very low, so Wang Ju didn't care much about it.

But after these ships arrived, Lu Hui also asked his subordinates to send a valuable piece of information.

Of course, at this time, the court also understood the significance of Liaodong's restraint on attacking Xia. After receiving this information, it immediately delivered it to Wang Ju with a special foot. Therefore, at least Wang Ju had a clear understanding of the battlefield in Liaodong.

The rebellion in Liaodong was very large in scale. It once captured Yinzhou, almost threatening the security of the Liao Dynasty's Tokyo City. Then it set up an ambush on the banks of the Hukhan River and drowned tens of thousands of Liao troops, which made Yelu Hongji furious and launched an army of 200,000.

Then thousands of soldiers on the other side withdrew from the Yalu River and took the opportunity to blame Goryeo. But Lu Hui and several main generals stayed and led these Jurchens to continue fighting against the Liao Kingdom.

Lu Hui did a good job this time, but he was not as genius as Wanyan Aguda. Under the repeated encirclement and suppression of the huge Liao army, and after fighting for so long, the people of various tribes were also hurt. Therefore, the Liao Kingdom used some policies to differentiate some tribes. With the cooperation of these tribes, the rebels were successively annihilated or forced to surrender. Now it is not a guerrilla tactic, but a tactic of hiding east.

Lu Hui had no choice but to lead Yu Zhong across the Huntong River and sneak into the area where the terrain was extremely harsh and filled with cold forests, swamps and grasslands. In other words, since last autumn, some of the main troops of the Liao Kingdom had retreated from Liaodong, but the Song Dynasty's intelligence network was underdeveloped in the Liao Kingdom and did not find out.

Fortunately, Lu Hui knew the importance of the matter. Seeing the Liao army withdraw, he led Yu again to cross the Huntong River and attacked various newly established strongholds of the Liao Kingdom, causing the Liao Kingdom to have to leave nearly half of its troops and continue to clean up. Then the cold winter fell and heavy snow filled the sky, and everyone rested together. However, due to Wang Ju's order, the fleet on the other side used ships to send a lot of precious materials in this winter, including cold-proof materials, food, weapons, medicinal materials, etc., which gave the troops a good rest.

Today, the ice and snow have not melted yet, and Lu Hui led them to continue fighting against the Liao army.

But it cannot be said that Mogus's information is useless at all, it is still very valuable.

Because it revealed two news, the first is that this spring, the Liao Kingdom may have wiped out many rebels again, and the remaining rebels were no longer enough to threaten the stability of Liaodong, so the Liao Kingdom withdrew the remaining main troops.

Of course, as long as the other side continuously supports various materials, these rebels will not make serious mistakes. If they have not been able to destroy them for six or seven years, they will never be able to do so.

The second point is that even though I sold a lot of exquisite armor and gave it to Goryeo, perhaps because Goryeo had no courage and agreed to some humiliating conditions for the Liao Kingdom. Perhaps the Liao Kingdom chose to revenge Goryeo and rescue Xixia, but in the end, he chose to rescue Xixia.

Only then did Wang Ju ask Zhong Shidao to split up a group of troops and withdraw them back to Yanzhou.

Zhong Shidao left the tent and went down to count the troops.

Wang Ju asked someone to bring the secret envoy sent by Mogus, then took out a large map, and first said: "You big leader abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. Someone is very welcome, but just a few words of verbal message, how can you believe it?"

Zhe Keshi stood by the side to translate, because the rushing people were isolated from the Central Plains for a long time, and almost few people could speak Chinese, so they had to use Dangxiang to communicate.

"General, you must believe it."

"Believe? Our Song Dynasty has no grudges or grudges with you, but you are not afraid of the distance from the desert to come to Xia territory and attack our army. This is the reason for some believe it? And your leader also asked our court to provide weapons. If your leader gets these weapons and uses them to fight our army, wouldn't it be a big joke?"

"No, no."

"It's no point to say it, it depends on actual actions. Since the Liao Lord ordered you to enter Xiazhou City, you will tell your leader after you go back and enter Xiazhou City immediately, and then kill all the Xixia officers and soldiers in Xiazhou City, and then send someone to inform us of Yinzhou officers and soldiers to hand over Xiazhou City to them."

Without the orders of the Liao Kingdom, it was very easy for this cavalry to block the Bu City. As long as they entered the city, the people of Xixia were not prepared and could easily complete Wang Ju's instructions.

This is the letter of vote.

The secret envoy looked embarrassed. The Song people were happy to do this, but the Liao Kingdom was going to work hard.

"Aren't you as good as a group of uncivilized Jurchens? The Liao Kingdom has fallen to the end and cannot be called the overlords on the grassland. Moreover, the Jurchens are isolated and helpless, but you can stop the divine people and turn to the light. The one who stands behind us is our Song Dynasty."

When Zhao Xu is alive, he will definitely support the people in disguise and may not send troops to help, but it can be used in other ways. However, once Zhao Xu dies, it is hard to say.

However, Wang Ju is definitely not a fool!

"I'll take you to see some armor."

It is impossible for the Divine Arm Bow and Cannon to support the people of the vassal, and the court cannot agree.

However, the Song Dynasty had many other sharp weapons. Wang Ju asked Wang Zishan to bring several sets of vests, sabers, and a new type of bow and arrow. It was also a compound bow. However, as the Song Dynasty continued to expand its territory over the years, it specially captured the Hehuang area and obtained a large number of war horses, thus arming many cavalry.

Wang Ju found that the original bows and arrows were not suitable for cavalry use, including the original two composite bows, black lacquer bow, yellow birch bow, white birch bow and hemp-back bow. So Wang Ju asked the bow craftsmen of the Military Arts Supervision to make repeated improvements and developed a new type of bow, which is quite similar to the combination of the Ming Dynasty's Xiaoxiao bow and the Xifan Wood bow. Of course, Wang Ju didn't know what the Ming Dynasty Xiaoxiao bow looked like. Its range and penetration were not as good as the original composite bow, but the requirements for pulling force were lower and the shooting was simpler. This also means that although it shortened the range, it was more convenient and faster to shoot arrows.

After repeated improvements, it has now been widely promoted among the cavalry of the Song Dynasty.

What are the power of these armored swords and bows? These warriors have personally experienced it.

Wang Ju asked the secret envoy to experience it personally, and then said, "As long as you can complete a certain condition, someone will send you to Yinshan, and immediately give you ten thousand such sabers and war bows, and at the same time, you will also deliver 10,000 arrows and 5,000 sets of horse armor."

This batch of weapons does not include freight costs, but the cost alone reaches more than 200,000 jin.

But it is worth it as long as the Bu people are stopped from becoming enemies with the Liao Kingdom.

Not only this condition, but also a condition that will prevent people from striking.

Wang Ju took him to the map again, pointed to the map and said, "Our army will soon be able to pacify Xixia, and a group of troops have arrived in Juyanhai."

This secret is incomprehensible.

Wang Ju said again: "The horses you stop the divine are cheap, but in our court, a good war horse can reach fifty or sixty cents of money, and an ordinary war horse can reach thirty cents of money. Do you know how much money is worth? In our court, a thick silk is only worth one-month cents of money."

The current Guan is a new Guan, with a standard price of 1,000 yuan. If you are producing silk, you can actually buy a very good piece of silk for guan!

Without this comparison, Wang Ju is really worried that these people will not be able to figure out the relevant prices.

Why do you say this? Liao Kingdom really has no shortage of war horses. Just like in May of the previous year, Liao Kingdom checked the number of horse herding nationwide and found that the number of horse herding increased by one million due to the increase in breeding, so he rewarded various herding officials. This is only the counted number of horse herding horses, and the actual number is far more than this number.

However, as a "strategic weapon", the Liao Kingdom would rather freeze the war horses to death, and also prohibit the tribes from using war horses to trade with the Song Dynasty. Therefore, horses in the Song Dynasty were so expensive that they were dying, but horses in some remote areas of the Liao Kingdom were so low.

As a result, a strange trade appeared. The Western Xia used green salt to transport it to the western mountains of Liao, and used it to exchange the Baidadan people for a large number of war horses. The good horses were left behind, and the bad horses were sent to the Security Army for transactions with the Song Dynasty. After just a little green salt, a large number of good horses were obtained, plus various Song Dynasty merchants.

Bai Dadan is better, and it is not too far from the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty. The Jurchens often get a good horse with a tin pot. Although the price of a slut can not be as low as this, it is surprisingly low. One or two thick silk can get a good horse.

Wang Ju told him that our Song Dynasty took over Xixia and Juyanhai. There were more than a thousand kilometers from Juyanhai to Wolduo City in the core area of ​​Zubu. However, there were some nomadic tribes in the north of Juyanhai. They just had no place to live because they were pursuing water and grass, and they had no place to live. These nomadic peoples were also Zubu people.

If the trade route is opened, the people who are jailed can go south from Juyanhai to Ganzhou along Ruoshuichuan, or go east to Helan Mountain.

Now that the Song Dynasty occupied these areas, it means that war horses can trade fairly.

I don’t expect a horse to be sold to the Song Dynasty for thirty pieces of silk, but at least ten pieces of silk can be exchanged for.

What does that mean?

And there is one.

Wang Ju continued: "The only neighbors in Juyanhai are you, the people in the northern part of the city. However, the northeast direction of the city you blockbu is the Menggu tribe, the Eight Tribes of the Nei Lie, the Chazala tribe, the Meliji tribe, the Olang Gai tribe, and the Northwest direction of your city is the Yaba Ge tribe, and the Gas tribes. Compared with you blocking people, they lack the various merchant goods in the Central Plains, and the horse prices are even cheaper! Not only war horses, but our dynasty also lacks larger livestock, tendons, horns and fur. What you said, do you understand?"

Can this secret envoy not understand? This means that just a transfer can bring huge wealth. Poor, perhaps for them, hundreds of thousands of exquisite silk silk is unimaginable wealth.

There is also one thing, the so-called blockade is not a whole. It is the vast area that belongs to the zombie tribe and zombie tribe, and almost occupy half of the desert.

The south is called the Bu tribe, which is actually composed of many tribes of all sizes, while the north is called the Bu tribe. There are nine large tribes in the Bei Shu Bu tribe alone, so it is also called the Jiudu Dadan. Even if the Liao Kingdom conferred Mogus as the new leader of the Bu people, it could not completely control the Bu tribes, let alone Mogus would betray the Liao Kingdom immediately. However, with this trade advantage, Mogus could win over many tribes to strengthen his own strength.

Before it was over, Wang Ju said again: "I also promised that the trade not only includes ordinary goods from our dynasty, but also a large number of armor."

This time the spy's eyes were really bright.

On the grassland, there are nothing but horses, cattle and sheep, there are no water, cloth, tea, iron, and various living vessels...

But for the people who stop the fortune, the most lacking is weapons.

After this battle, the Song army will seize a large number of Western Xia armor, and 90% of them will be eliminated.

After Wang Ju returned to the capital from the other side, he again conducted a strict review of military weapons supervision. Dozens of officials and craftsmen were sentenced to exile, and four serious corruption criminals were sentenced to abandon the market.

As a result, the military weapon supervisors have been renovated again, and the court's financial health, over the years, almost all the weapons and armors of the three armies have been replaced. Unqualified, backward, and bulky weapons and armors have been eliminated one after another, but these eliminated weapons and armors have become a problem.

If you return the furnace, the loss will be too great. Not only will you take up the furnace, but you will also have to send someone to manage it.

The armor mentioned by Wang Ju are these two batches of armor.

After the Battle of Lingzhouchuan, the Song Dynasty's armor was so advanced that people saw it.

But the Song army also saw how behind the armor of the Bubu people was.

These armors may not be favored by Goryeo and Xixia people, but they are treasures for the people who stop the divine.

If you really feel sorry, you can also use these armor as the price of a broken kitchen knife and sell it half and give it to the slogan. At least there is better than nothing.

This spy was unexpected to this, but what made him happy was not only to obtain more powerful weapons from the Song Dynasty, but also to have a season.

When the matter is over, the army returns to block the divination, arranges exchange of goods and livestock for merchants, and wins over all divisions, and it will be after autumn. For all divisions on the desert grassland, this may be a sad season.

Because shortly after autumn, it means that severe winter comes. Often, heavy snow will freeze most of the livestock to death. Not only winter, spring is also dangerous. If you encounter an inched cold, it will be more harmful than a cold winter. For example, in the past few years, the Liao Kingdom encountered a rare inched cold. In April, more than a ft. of heavy snow fell from heaven, causing seven or eight horses to die, and countless remaining livestock to die.

So when autumn comes, all the grasslands are busy, including forage, cold-proof supplies, tents, etc.

Therefore, as long as the commercial goods in the Song Dynasty are reasonable, if there are many livestock in the homes of herders in each account, they are willing to sell them in this season.

In fact, Wang Ju also thought of this. In addition, in order to prevent the Liao Kingdom from sending troops to suppress it, if Mogus really turned to the Song Dynasty, then a rare large-scale deal will be ushered in this autumn.

Wang Juzhen dares not say what attitude the Song Dynasty will adopt after Zhao Xu’s death in the future, but as long as this transaction goes smoothly this year, the people who stop the slogan will obtain a large number of weapons. In fact, for them, the most important thing at the moment is not the lack of various commercial goods, but weapons!

Only with sufficient weapons can we fight against the Liao Kingdom in the future. If there is nothing wrong next spring, Wang Ju may be able to continue to support a group of excellent armor. In addition, the batch of armor will be traded to the Shubu people at a low price of half-selling and half-giving, so Wang Ju is not a fool to the Shubu people. As for whether Mogus will fail, if you don’t have that ability, why do you become a mob!

Wang Jurang the secret envoy returned to Huangyangping with those sample weapons. I believe that Mogus would definitely be moved by these conditions he gave.

Just looking at his left back, Wang Ju said in his heart: "Double insurance is available."

Then Wang Ju wrote a book and sent it to the capital with a fast horse. Now the possibility of Liao sending troops has been infinitely magnified, especially in Hebei. Although many forts and moats have been built, they are all false appearances. After all, they are mostly flat places and no danger to rely on. Therefore, fighting in Hebei depends entirely on the skills of soldiers, and Hebei cannot be taken lightly.

As for the fact that this book will cause some scholars and officials to bite crazy, Wang Ju ignored it... Are you afraid that you will settle the score later?
