Chapter 857: Cutting the soil (2)(1/2)
.But if you want to annihilate it from the beginning, it is two kinds of nature. If you don’t do it well, just like Li Jiqian back then, because of his small force and easy access to supply, he is also a large Hetao area, which will become a tumor in the future.
Of course, it was different from Li Jiqian at that time. At that time, Li Jiqian not only received support from the nomadic people in Hetao, but also secretly supported by Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Youzhou ministries, and even Hengshan Yeli families, so he was able to fight a protracted war with the Song Dynasty.
But what if?
Moreover, the deterrence power is insufficient, and the Liao Kingdom will inevitably take revenge next year, and the war will be delayed, and the Song Dynasty's economy will be even worse by then.
There is another function...
The army of 100,000 Great Compassion Slaves could never cross the Yellow River, but he was constantly working hard, and Otra was also working hard here.
At this moment, the Great Compassion Slave sent a scout to sneak across the Yellow River and informed the situation after Otra Mountains that it is important to save the emperor, so you should be blessed. What's even more terrible is that at this time Otra had no food and grass in his hands, and he was about to starve, so he still had friendships?
Otla first took some face and attacked Linzhou, but Linzhou...
As a result, the several forces he distributed were beaten up and fled back in a panic.
There is no way out. The three armies began to distribute food. They were originally one liter of rice a day, but now they are half a liter. As for those Xixia people, then just half a liter. If you protest again, please get back!
Then he divided his troops to plunder in Hetao. However, Nanhetao was not a prairie with abundant water and grass. How many nomadic peoples could be provided? If thousands of people provide it, there would be no problem. Now, more than 100,000 people were eaten, killing all the people of Nanhetao tribes, and stolen cattle and sheep together, which would not last for a month.
And in this way, the Hetao tribes were finally completely disappointed with the Liao Kingdom. Well, warmth was sent.
Wang Ju sent an envoy to let these tribes migrate to the Yellow River immediately, where is the Song army protecting you? Maybe you have been stolen many cattle and sheep, and you can't survive this winter, but I now provide you with some food, but you must make a bloody oath and never betray the Song Dynasty from now on.
If this is not the case, these tribes would not thank the Song Dynasty, and would not become loyal to the Song Dynasty in the future, and would even have various plundering behaviors. However, after the Liao army did this, they would win over themselves, and at least the hatred of the Song Dynasty will be reduced in the future. Then, with a little guidance, they will set up a few more plagiarisms to let them go out and trade with the outside world, and even transfer some grain to trade with them, and there will be no plundering.
In fact, what Wang Ju hopes most is to eliminate all nomadic peoples such as Nanhetao, not to get rid of them all, but to let them completely change their original lifestyle.
It is not necessary to have to be a nomadic person to survive. As long as a family has thirty or forty acres of land in their hands, even if these lands are only middle and lower fields, half are used to plant cold-resistant and drought-resistant beans, millet and grains, and half are used to plant grass. These grasses and grains are used to raise a few cattle and sheep. The family can get all their food and clothing. But thirty-four acres of land are not a plump grassland. How many cattle and sheep can they raise?
Moreover, nomadic damages to the soil and water. There is no need to eat cattle and sheep, and even grassroots can be eaten. However, can we wait and see cattle and sheep eat grassroots and destroy the entire pasture?
Therefore, the water and soil in Nanhetao became more and more serious, and eventually it became a big desert.
But who can persuade them?
I just hope that they will come out in the future and see how others live. Wang Ju has promoted this method of herd settlement in immigration and provided them with many excellent forage seeds.
That is to lay the foundation for the future and has nothing to do with the present.
What is now conducive to the stability of the Nanhetao region in the next few years, and the Liao army...
After Wang Ju's arrangement, the Liao army had almost no food source. Moreover, the north wind was howling, and the weather officially became cold.
The Liao army came when the weather was the hottest. Who brought winter clothes?
Otra launched another attack, but this time the three armies were all in a daze and even their morale was lost. So there is still motivation to fight to the death?
Zhang Shouyue sent someone to shout, surrender and live, resist and die! He didn't want Song Jun to do anything. (No pop-up ad)
The Liao army would not surrender immediately, fearing death... The war continued.
The Great Benedict Slave withdrew his troops and led his troops into Beihetao. Miao Su and Yao Lin's troops were divided into two groups, quickly captured the Tiande Army, and then attacked Yunneizhou. This place belongs to the various Baidadan tribes, including the Dadan people, Tuyuhun people, Dangxiang people and a small number of Khitans. They were not very loyal to the Khitans. As long as you do not steal our wealth and do not kill our people, you two countries will do whatever you like. Therefore, you quickly took down the two states, and to the east it was Jiashan. So the two led their troops south and pointed directly to Dongshengzhou. You cannot run by your own temperament, and you cannot be too far from the area controlled by the Song Dynasty...
When they arrived in Yunzhou, Liu Changzuo and Qu Zhen entered Yunzhou City one after another, and did not migrate the people like Emperor Taizong of Song. The Song Dynasty itself began to have a population crisis, so how could they arrange the people of Yunshuo? Moreover, after the Liao Dynasty had been governed for so many years, there were not many people who yearn for the Song Dynasty.
But fortunately, this trip broke through several cities and obtained a lot of wealth one after another. Liu Changzuo also followed Wang Ju's advice, became a good person, defeated the local tyrants, and distributed the land. He also extracted some valuable tea, cloth and porcelain from the accomplices and distributed them to the Han households in various prefectures and counties. This may not have any effect. It was purely disgusting the Liao Kingdom. As usual, half of the remaining valuable goods were rewarded to the soldiers of the three armies and half to the national treasury.
As for Qu Zhen, he and Xue Yi fought toward Hunhe.
At the same time, Zhe Kexing led his troops across the Yellow River and rushed to the rear of the Great Compassion Slave.
Seeing that the opportunity was fast, the slave of Dafeng fled to the north when he saw something was wrong. Several Song troops then chased after him, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 40,000 soldiers were broken, the slave of Dafeng fled to Dezhou. In just two months, it turned out like this... Yelu Hongji was stunned in Guihua Prefecture.
At this time, the Liao Kingdom had already gathered more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. If the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Great Compassion Slave were added, it would be close to 300,000 soldiers and horses.
However, the king and his ministers were at a loss, not because they did not dare to counterattack, but because the weather had become colder. Now the Song army is in the city and the Liao army is outside the city. If they attack and counterattack, everyone understands what the consequences will be.
At this time, two envoys were taken to Yunzhou City.
The two Liao envoys were also stupid.
Zhang Feng negotiated with them on behalf of the Song Dynasty. He first said with a smile: "Last New Year's Day, Taibao told you, who is the world in this world? This year, Taibao told you again, if you Liao Kingdom think you are the great, our Song army will definitely fight you to the decisive battle at Yanyun City, but you don't listen..."
The two Liao envoys said nothing. It was not that they fought against Yan Yun, but that Yunzhou was already under the control of the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Feng paused and said, "But I received the imperial edict from the official family and gave you a chance."
"what?"
"The officials commented on the edict that the two countries reconciled again, including the annual monies, but this annual monies were paid in a new year, because your Liao Kingdom is no longer as powerful as our Great Song Dynasty."
What is giving? What is giving? Giving is what the minister receives money from the master, and giving is what the master rewards the minister!
If Fu Bi had not fought hard at that time, and he had not even won the prize, he would have changed it to a tribute and the minister would pay tribute to the master!
The two Liao envoys were dissatisfied, but now the initiative is not in the hands of the Liao Kingdom, so they remain silent.
"As for the division of territory, Hebei and Hedong have been divided, our dynasty will not repent of the peace agreement, but Hexi has not been divided. Then, based on the current occupation, we will go to Jiashan in the east, to the ancient Great Wall in the south, to Yinshan in the north, to the territory of our dynasty, and to the east of your country. If your country agrees, our dynasty will immediately withdraw our troops from Yunzhou and make way for the road to withdraw our troops from Ote."
That is, the several states occupied by the Song army in Shanhou will be handed over to the Liao Kingdom, but Yunneizhou, Tiande army, Dongsheng army, Heqing army, Jinsu army, and Ningbianzhou in Hexi must be ceded to the Song Dynasty.
"Impossible," shouted two Liao envoys.
"The reason why the officials wanted to reconsider your country was that some literati and officials in my dynasty love peace and urged you. But as someone, I don't want you Khitan to agree, that in that case, someone can work with Taibao to pursue the Song Dynasty to recover Yanyun in one fell swoop. In addition, I would like to say to your master, don't think that many troops have been gathered in Guihua Prefecture. Some and Taibao can make your Khitan Mountains turn upside down within two months, and they can easily defeat your Guihua Prefecture army! Then it will not be as simple as regaining Yanyun... but destroying the country! By the way, someone just received a message that the slogans began to rebel again."
Yelu Hongji also received the news.
Mogus left a unit to support the construction of Juyanhai North City, exchanged labor for weapons, and returned with the remaining subordinates. Then organized various units to trade, and at the same time used the weapons in his hands to win over the tribes. In addition, he rebelled in Xiazhou, and Yelu Dilie, the Northwest Road recruitment envoy of Liao Kingdom, led a large army to kill him after hearing this.
Mogus was prepared for this and led some tribal warriors who defected to him to launch a counterattack. Yelu Dilie fled and fled. Mogus followed the proposal of Wang Ju on the bank of the Yellow River at that time and publicly established the Great Turkic Kingdom. In fact, the tribes on the grasslands changed a lot, and they were no longer Turkic people. However, they had to establish a country name to have greater appeal. Moreover, the Turks were once famous in the grasslands.
As Mogus sent envoys to ask Wang Ju to provide more weapons, it is unknown how much appeal this founding name has, but he really turned against the Liao Kingdom. Wang Ju also agreed and immediately sent someone to send a large number of weapons to Juyanhai. At this time, the northern city of Juyanhai was similar to the construction, allowing Mogus' subordinates to return to the desert with these weapons. With more soldiers, more weapons, and the legendary strong support of the Song Dynasty, and the dissatisfaction of some tribes with the Liao Kingdom, many tribes responded one after another. This news undoubtedly made the Liao Kingdom even worse.
It is best if the Song Dynasty retreats its troops and goes back. However, we will slowly deal with Mogus in the beginning of spring next year.
But the requirements put forward by the Song Dynasty were too harsh. Not only did it cede the six states, but it could not accept the gift.
At this moment, Zhang Qi took the initiative to send someone to send a letter.
The weather became colder, and some puddles woke up in the morning and formed thin ice flowers.
This is also from the Liao people. If it were the Song people, they would have fallen down long ago.
Otra suddenly issued an order to slaughter horses on a large scale, eat and drink, and move to the north.
The purpose is simple, and the sky will soon become colder. The Yellow River is frozen. No matter how frozen the Yellow River is here, you can't escape back. However, the terrain at the mouth of the Northern Bay is relatively flat. Although there are many Magnesium and Tushan, they are not tall. The Yellow River no longer becomes a natural barrier, so it is easy to open a gap and break through. Those who may freeze to death and may be killed by the Song army can escape back. However, when the rear cannot provide support, this is the only way out.
However, this order was issued, and the entire army was in an uproar.
Now it's cold and hungry, the Song army is eyeing the surroundings, how can we move to the north hundreds of miles away? And what Otra is counting on the frozen Yellow River, so how cold it is? Can we survive until then?
In addition, the Song army sent people to the front line from time to time to call for surrender, and finally the Liao army mutiny, and some soldiers rushed to the central army's tent, killing Otra and several chief generals, and then sending people to surrender to the Song army.
Zhang Shouyue sent people to collect their weapons, war horses, and some wealth brought by the Western Xia nobles, and then distributed food.
Now some foods are eaten, and nothing is left.
But it is not for nothing. The two armies and one state are sparsely populated. Although it is because of the terrain, the Liao Kingdom has not developed well and has not had a perfect fortress. Although the Song army built some roads and fortresses after the arrival of the Song army, it was not perfected because of the short time.
Now so many prisoners of war are just right, letting them work.
In the letter, Zhang Yue did not mention working, but said that all the more than 100,000 troops of the Liao Kingdom surrendered, and that our Song Dynasty provided food and drink, but you, Liao Kingdom, have to send people to send cold-proof materials, otherwise they will freeze to death.
This was purely happy for Yelu Hongji, but at this point, the king and minister of the Liao Kingdom could no longer be reserved, so everyone discussed the bottom line and sent a large group of envoys to Yunzhou for negotiations.
After repeated disputes between the two sides, the Liao Kingdom agreed to the following conditions. The first year of the monies was paid as usual, but not as a gift, but as a coin, which means that the two countries have reconciled money, but there is one condition that neither side shall send troops like the other country's borders, otherwise the coin will disappear from then on.
It was also a treaty that Wang Juzhang had repeatedly discussed and sent to the court. After discussion by several prime ministers, it was only formulated. Without this 500,000 yuan, the Liao Kingdom suffered such a great loss. In the future, it would inevitably use troops repeatedly and the border was unstable.
But the actual situation is for this war. The Song Dynasty had issued a large number of national debts and could no longer engage in large-scale wars.
Moreover, after the Liao rebellion in Liaodong, the Liao Kingdom immediately rebelled, and was dragged down by the Song Dynasty this year. The domestic situation was also tense. Then this 500,000 would still make them moved, at least it would ensure that the Liao Kingdom did not dare to have any ideas in the past few years. But after these years, the Song Dynasty's economy has completely improved. It would be fine if the Liao Kingdom reconciled. If it was not reconciled, it would be a fight at that time.
The second division is divided into the western territory, with the Yellow River as the boundary in the south. It is impossible to let the Liao Kingdom ced the six states, but the three states in Hexi are not allowed to imagine. In addition, the Song army withdrew from Dongshengzhou, Yunneizhou, and Tiande Army. However, the south of Heishan must belong to the Song Dynasty, which means that the German army ceded to the Song Dynasty in nearly half a day.
At first, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom disagreed, but this was also Zhang Qing's bottom line. Through the attack on Muna Mountain by the Liao army using the Tiande army, Zhang Qing still felt that Muna Mountain was too thin. Only by obtaining Heishan, setting up defenses on Heishan, connecting them with Langshan, and below were surging rivers, so that the Beihetao could become thicker and have better defense.
The envoy of the Liao Kingdom disagreed, and Zhang Feng was not polite and directly overturned the negotiating table.
It’s hard to fight. Let’s not talk about the six prefectures of the Yellow River, but we won’t even return the four prefectures of Wushuo and Yingyun to you immediately.
The envoys of the Liao Kingdom in this line of work were of high rank, including Xiao Weixin, the prime minister of the Southern Prefecture, Yelu Heshu, the king of the Southern Prefecture, Yelu Naye, the remaining guard of the Western Prefecture, Liu Lin, the envoy of Xuanhui in the Northern Prefecture, and Yang Ji, the Privy Councilor of the Southern Prefecture. However, no one dared to accept Zhang Feng's conditions, so he had to send someone to send a letter to Yelu Hongji.
Then the negotiations were made again, and the Liao Kingdom agreed to accept the conditions of the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty also had to agree to the three conditions of the Liao Kingdom. First, withdraw troops from the states immediately and do not stay in the territory of Liao again.
Second, they shall not support Mogus' rebellion, nor shall they provide them with any weapons and supplies.
The Third Liao Kingdom sent people to send many mattresses and asked the Song army to take them to Hexi immediately to give them to those prisoners of war and to release them immediately, so that no "freeze" would happen.
This is because of the good negotiations. The Song Dynasty secretly executed more than 100,000 Liao troops on this reason, and then told the Liao Kingdom that they were all frozen to death. Especially Wang Ju, they all heard that they were a cruel and ruthless master who could not do it, but this person could definitely do it.
The sacrifice of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians cannot be said to be the collapse of the sky for the Liao Kingdom, but it is also a major loss and a more shameful failure.
Zhang Feng thought for a while and said, "The first and the last conditions can be agreed on the court, but the middle one is still to be discussed. Our dynasty has always lacked fur, especially the emergence of new looms, which has a greater demand for wool, so it is necessary to set up a yard in Juyanhai. In fact, this is also beneficial to your country, and the people can only be stable if they are rich. In this way, you can also set up a yard in Junji Prefecture and send people to check the border. If someone trades weapons, let your country handle it."
"Junjizhou?" Yelu Heshu asked suspiciously.
Yang Ji explained in a low voice: "The eastern end of the Jinshan Mountain in the Tang Dynasty was a banished state established by the Tang Dynasty."
After thinking about it, it seemed that there were hundreds of miles from Juyanhai, but to the south it was desolate and dry-land, and it was not suitable to set up a courthouse. Unless the Liao Kingdom also placed the courthouse in Juyanhai, the Song Dynasty would definitely not agree.
Zhang Qi also said: "It's not because someone disagrees, but because private businessmen cannot stop it. It's like your country's private salt, which leads to our country's entire north being unable to defy salt, or like your country's ban on horses. However, our country's merchants still use some channels to obtain your country's horses. So they want to never circulate weapons in the circumstance, and no one dares to guarantee it. This makes it clear that the two countries will not turn their eyes into enemies in the future."
To be continued...
