Chapter 85 The news that one hundred thousand dollars bought

An error occurred while processing s private files

Cai Jing has dozens of workshops of various types of real estate, gardens, mansions, restaurants, etc., and weaving. I heard that his collections are worth 50 million to 60 million yuan... In addition, his brothers, his sons, nephews, and sons-in-law are all officials, and their disciples and former officials are all over the world. From this we can see that his wealth is very broad, and his wealth is countless. It is estimated that Cai Jing himself does not know how much his property is."

"The Cai family's property is now in the hands of the emperor?"

Yan Qing smiled and shook his head, "After the Cai family was defeated, the local property was embezzled by local bureaucrats, and the property in the capital was embezzled by the bureaucrats in the capital. In the end, the property confiscated into the official's property was very good, which was 10 million yuan."

Li Hu was dumbfounded, but he immediately thought of something, "So, Bian Jing has countless wealth?"

"You can't say that." Yan Qing said, "As the capital, every inch of land is worth every inch of land, but once Bian Jing is poisoned by the war, its wealth will instantly disappear. Although many powerful and wealthy people in Bian Jing are rich enough to rival the country, their main property is concentrated in fertile land and houses, and the gold, silver and silk at home may not be piled up like mountains. Once Bian Jing falls, these people will be paupers."

Yan Qing looked at Li Hu and smiled and said, "The General General asked me to withdraw from Bianjing, sell all the valuable things and convert them into gold, silver and silk. I did as I did, so there are still five million guans now. After a while, if something happened to Bianjing, or Bianjing is no longer the capital of the Song Dynasty, then these five million guans will shrink, and it is even worthless."

Then his eyes were slowly showing, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

Li Hu thought he could still make money from Bianjing, but then he realized that this was impossible. For him, grain and cloth were far more important than gold and silver treasures, but the greatest wealth in Bianjing was obviously not gold and silver treasures, nor grain and silk, but fertile land. Bianjing was located on two transportation hubs between north, south, east, west, and land, and it was this unique geographical location that created the wealth myth of Bianjing. Once Bianjing lost this advantage, its wealth would be destroyed.

Li Hu shook his head with regret. Seeing Yan Qing's desire to speak but stop, he asked, "What do you want to say?"

"General General, can Bian Jing not be able to defend it?"

"How come you have this kind of thought?" Li Hu asked.

Yan Qing has been thinking about this question these days. Li Hu made it very clear that Bian Jing is no longer suitable to be the capital of the Song Dynasty. From this, it can be inferred that there will be problems in the war in Hebei. The Song Dynasty had garrisons, Northwest Army, and Tiger Lieutenant Army. Why can't we defend Hebei? Yan Qing knew the situation in the court in Bian Jing. The power struggle was too fierce. This struggle extended to the army. The army was a mess. Li Hu obviously did not want to consume the Tiger Lieutenant Army in political struggle. Then you can imagine next. When the Jin army fought to the Central Plains, the curtain of the troubled times opened, and the situation of dynasty replacement was formed.

Yan Qing was shuddered. When Song Jiang raised the flag in Liangshanpo, he rebelled. The land was to "do the way for heaven" the flag. To put it bluntly, anti-corruption officials and not against the emperor. In fact, this is a strategy. The Liangshan Army was not strong enough. The Song Dynasty's policy on rebellion was always to recruit and appease the rebellion. If the uprising failed in the end, the Liangshan people could be slaughtered and saved their lives. This was a strategy in the process of the Liangshan Army's development. The result proved that it was successful. In the end, it helped the Liangshan people save their lives. On the other hand, Fang La raised the flag to rebel to overthrow the Song Dynasty. As a result, the Song Dynasty destroyed him. Millions of people in Zhejiang died in desperation. Now Li Hu's strategy is more brilliant. But his goal is the same. He wants to seize the reign of the Song Dynasty.

Is Li Hu capable of turning the tide? Of course, there are hundreds of thousands of Tiger and Lieutenant Army, which is enough to compete with the Jin army on the Hebei battlefield. But it is obvious that the Hebei War is over. Li Hu and the Huwei Army have also come to an end. Unless a miracle occurs, Li Hu will not place his hopes on miracles. So he is unwilling to go to the Hebei battlefield. He intends to let the Jin army march straight into and shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty. At the critical moment, Li Hu lets a fatal blow to seize the Song Dynasty and then fight the Jin army to a decisive battle.

Yan Qing thought Li Hu was too terrible, but the rewards were very high with Li Hu. Li Hu seized the country's destiny and established the cause of kingship. With Yan Qing's status, he could be a founding father and appoint him as a general Yinze descendant. On the contrary, he was following the Zhao family's Song Dynasty and could not make a name for himself until his death.

Yan Qing wanted to make a name for himself. He wanted to make a name for himself in Hulie's mansion. (Computer reading w w w. .) He first wanted to gain Li Hu's trust. So this time he returned to Bianjing. He took some effort to find out some news. However, Bianjing was too chaotic. These news may not be accurate. Before he accurately peeked into Li Hu's thoughts, he did not dare to easily reveal these news, so as not to mislead Li Hu.

"Bianjing is very chaotic now." Yan Qing said, "There are the Supreme Emperor, the deposed emperor, and the emperor who had just ascended the throne in the palace. The ministers were also suffering disasters one after another. The confidants of the Supreme Emperor were killed, and the confidants of the deposed emperor were killed again. The capital was bloody and stormed, from the Supreme Emperor to ordinary bureaucrats, they all lived in fear. This fearful atmosphere was enough to affect the central decision-making and the choice of civil officials in Bianjing. When everyone was swaying and watching, who would still consider the great Song Dynasty? Who would still be willing to fight for the Song Dynasty?"

Li Hu nodded in admiration. Yan Qing said this well. He has learned a lot in Bianjing in recent years, and this view is not a nonsense.

"If I transfer the main force of the Tiger Lie Army to the Hebei battlefield now, can I win the Hebei War?"

Li Hu's words made Yan Qing realize that his judgment was correct, and Li Hu had no intention of going to Hebei to participate in the war.

"Unless a miracle happens

said, “But according to the news I received, there is no possibility of miracles.

Li Hu frowned slightly and asked, "What news?"

"I know an eunuch. This time I went back to Beijing, I specifically agreed to him once and bought a message for 100,000 yuan."

"100,000 guan?" Li Hu was surprised. If you buy a message of 100,000 guan, the news would be too expensive.

"According to this eunuch, the emperor, Tong Guan and Zhang Bangchang discussed and decided to establish a temporary capital in Jiangning on Jiangnan Road, that is, today Nanjing or Xiangyang on Jingxi South Road." Yan Qing whispered, "Just wait for the Jin army to approach the Yellow River, the emperor and the court moved south quickly."

Li Hu was shocked. No wonder Zhao Kai and Tong Guan wanted to discuss peace, to invite Zhang Bangchang out as prime minister, to drive Li Gang and Zhong Shidao to Hebei, and still turned a blind eye to Hebei in the extreme chaos. It turned out that he planned to move the capital and escape.

The biggest advantage of moving and fleeing is that it can get rid of Li Hu and the people in the northwest, and cut off the money and food of Li Hu and the people in the northwest, forcing Li Hu and the people in the northwest to fight against the Jin army in the Central Plains, while Zhao Kai and Tong Guan have time to rebuild the army. When the fierce battle in the Central Plains is in full swing, Zhao Kai can join forces with the Jin army to eliminate Li Hu and the people in the northwest, and then divide the river with the Jin people to rule. Of course, if Zhao Kai is strong enough, he can also fight with all his efforts to fight the northern expedition first, kill Li Hu and the people in the northwest, and then defeat the Jin army and recover the lost territory. But no matter what, Zhao Kai must first establish his own army, which is the premise for him to rebuild the Song Dynasty in the future. Now he relies on Tong Guan to control some troops, and it depends on Tong Guan's expression to do things. The situation is indeed very difficult.

Li Hu sat for a long time and felt cold in his heart.

The news of Yan Qing came too timely. If the main force of the Tiger Lie Army arrived at the Hebei battlefield, Zhao Kai and Tong Guan suddenly fled south with the imperial court and the garrison army, it would definitely give a fatal blow to the Hebei battlefield. The Tiger Lie Army was defeated in Hebei and could only retreat to the northwest. However, Datong and Taiyuan were unlikely to be difficult to defend, and Li Hu's years of efforts would be ruined.

"Is it Jiangning or Xiangyang?" Li Hu asked, "Can you confirm the location of the capital?"

"It is said that both the emperor and Tong Guan are inclined to Jiangning." Yan Qing said, "Luoyang and Chang'an are under your control. Xiangyang is too close to the Central Plains. Jiangning has been the capital of the dynasty many times in history. It has a glorious past and a unique geographical advantage. It is the choice of the capital."

"Can the emperor have a solution to implement it?"

"I heard that Tong Shimin immediately went south to Jiangning to establish a temporary palace." Yan Qing said, "In order to prevent the leak of news, this matter is very confidential. Only Tong Guan and Zhang Bangchang's close associates knew that the main migration was suitable for these people to deploy secretly."

Li Hu thought for a moment and asked again: "How long does it take to prepare?"

"Tong Guan took advantage of the opportunity to collect Fang La and arranged more than 4,000 officials in Jiangnan and Liangzhe. These people can be said to be Tong Guan's loyal subordinates. With the strong help of these people, Tong Shimin could establish a temporary palace at most one month. In other words, around mid-August, the emperor and the court would have the conditions to go south to Jiangning."

Time is too urgent, and Li Hu has almost no way to deal with it. Once Zhao Kai and the court moved south, Li Hu's strategy of holding the emperor hostage and commanding the world would not be implemented. More seriously, General Li Hu and the people in the northwest assumed the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Jin army, and Bian Jing would be in war.

Zhao Kai's trick is so clever.

If Li Hu doesn't fight on the battlefield in Hebei, then I'll move the capital, I'll go to Jiangnan, lead the Jin army to the Central Plains, and force your Hu Lie Army to fight. The battlefield is moved from Hebei to the Central Plains, and the situation changes drastically. Li Hu changes from active to passive, and Zhao Kai changes from passive to active, and he is invincible in advance, and he can save half of the country at the worst. On the contrary, if Li Hu wants to gain a foothold in the northwest, he will have to fight the Jin army to the death, and the Jin army will definitely occupy the northern territory of the Yellow River. In this way, the Jurchens and Li Hu have a direct conflict of interest, and both sides must decide the outcome.

Originally, Li Hu was sitting in the mountain watching the tiger fight, but now he has become Zhao Kai, a fisherman, who has benefited.

"You have made great contributions." Li Hu stood up, walked to Yan Qing's side, and patted Yan Qing's back intimately, "It's getting late, you go back and rest." Then he picked up the account book on the table and handed it to Yan Qing, "I don't need to take this back. If you insist on returning two million chunks of Hu Lie Mansion, I will accept it and collect the merits for you. As for other money, it is the reward of your efforts over the past few years. It belongs to your personal property. Hu Lie Mansion has no right to confiscate it."

Yan Qing was ecstatic. Li Hu's reward was too heavy. Li Hu gave it to him without blinking his eyes. It was incredible.

"Master General, I can't ask for it. My spending over the years is amazing..."

Li Hu shook his hand and interrupted him, "As you said, this is not your own contribution, but Li Shishi's contribution, and this money is also made by Li Shishi. By the way, Li Shishi's identity is very special. I invited her in the name of a gift this time. There are many princes and ministers in Luoyang City who come to watch the ceremony, so even if she is acting, she has to perform her talents. Then I can find some reasons to keep her, but you have to pay attention to not publicly open your relationship with her. The Supreme Emperor is still alive, and we must take into account the face of the Supreme Emperor and the royal family, and don't go too far."
