Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

As for Xiao Qian's army who fled, he had his own army to pursue him, so there was no need for Yan Zongxiong to take credit for it.

Chapter 759 Wanyan Aguda Asks Me to Be an Official

Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army of the Liao Kingdom, and Wanyan Zongxiong and Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin army fought wits and bravery on Zhongjing Road. The road to Huining City, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin.

Ulun Zhurig was worried that Boer would only be Jin? Alan's jealousy towards Princess Jin Wanyan Wulu would cause her troubles in Posu Lu Feixiong Ximen Fort. After discussing with Jiao Ting, he quietly reported to Ximen Qing the next day.

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female."Wanyan Wulu and Bo'er Jijin? Alan, the two tigress collided with each other, it was indeed troublesome.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Ximenqing decided to set off immediately to the north, and Alan left the territory of Posu Road.

Before setting off, Ximenqing asked Shi Yong and Yan Qing to go to Daning Town, Jian'an County, Huosuguan Road, along with the jade mining masters, processing craftsmen and appraisal masters sent by Lu Junyi, to secretly survey the jade vein resources.

Based on the impressions in his memory, Ximenqing knew that the site of Xiuyan County in the future would be Daning Town, Jian'an County.The jade mined in later generations was probably in several ravines in the northwest of Xiuyan County.

It just so happens that Daning Town is located in the eastern mountainous area of ​​Jian'an County on Hosuguan Road, bordering on Posu Road, and not far from Ximenqing's territory, only more than 100 miles away, which is very suitable for inclusion in Ximenqing's territory.

Therefore, Ximen Qing told Shi Yong and Yan Qing the general location of the jade veins, and asked them to go west to Daning Town and search for them in several valleys with streams in the northwest.

After Shi Yong and Yan Qing confirmed the mineral veins that could be mined, Ximen Qing waited for the opportunity to ask the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, his father-in-law Wanyan Aguda, to ask for the land there.

After Shi Yong, Yan Qing and his entourage left, Ximen Qing took Borji Jin? The capital city Huining City.

The eldest princess Wanyan Wulu originally proposed to go with Ximenqing and return to Huining City to visit her parents.But Ximenqing left Wanyan Wulu in the territory of Posu Road because of the cold weather and the hard journey.

At this time, the land of Liaodong was still covered with ice and snow, and it had not yet thawed. Ximenqing's words were somewhat reasonable, and Wanyan Wulu did not insist.She decided to wait until April when the ice and snow melted before returning to the capital of the Kingdom of Jin to visit her father and mother.

Ximen Qing was walking on the road, thinking to himself: "Wanyan Wulu and Bo'er are just a catty? It's a pity that these two little tigresses, Alan, can't be together now! For the safety of the future harem, for the sake of the Jurchens and the Mongols For the sake of world peace in Northeast Asia, I have to resolve the grievances between these two princesses in the future so that they can live in harmony! Can you let them both sleep in the same bed and serve a husband together? ?”

Oops~ Why is this body getting hotter and hotter?Perhaps the coat on his body was too thick.

……

Because Du Bojin Goushi of Hesuguan had already led the army to follow the Prime Minister Wanyan Sagai to the west and invaded the Zhongjing Road of Liao Kingdom, and was fighting with the army of Yelu Dashi. Ximen Qing failed to visit Du Bojin in Hesuguan hook room.

Similarly, when they arrived in Liaoyang Mansion, Ximenqing's old friends and old acquaintances who stayed behind in Liaoyang Mansion, such as Wulin Moshi Tuhei, were also leading the battle on the front line.

Knowing that most of the generals of the Kingdom of Jin were on the front line of the Zhongjing Road, Ximen Qing stopped wasting time in the states along the way and rushed to Huining City, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, in the wind and snow.

When Ximenqing entered Huining City and came to the emperor's village to meet his old father-in-law Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Aguda happened to receive a military report from the front line.

"Ximenqing, I didn't invite you here. You didn't accompany my daughter Wulu on Posu Road. Why did you come to me in the wind and snow? We Jurchens are used to the bitter cold. You are from the Song Dynasty, so be careful on the way. The wind and cold! My good son-in-law, how are you and Ulu in Posulu? What is your business?"

Wanyan Aguda took his son-in-law Ximenqing to sit beside him to warm himself up by the fire, asked him how he was, and asked about his daughter Wanyan Wulu's recent situation.

"Father, everything is fine with Uluh on Pasok Road. Please rest assured. I didn't let Ulu come with us because the road was blocked by heavy snow. After the snow melts in April, Ulu will come back to visit Father. With the queen mother. How are the emperor father and the queen mother?"

Ximen Qing also quickly entered the role of the son-in-law of the Kingdom of Jin, the emperor Wanyan Agu beating his son-in-law.

"Hahaha~ Ximen Qing, I am in good health! Your mother is also very good. If it weren't for the fact that Dajin is at war with the Liao Kingdom, and the military affairs are busy, I would want to go to your new territory for a while. I heard that there are many merchants in your territory, and there are trade relations with Korea and Japan, and the business is very good! My Dajin lacks talents like you now. Ximen Qing, you are my son-in-law, may I Come to Dajin to be an official and help me manage domestic businessmen?"

Wanyan Aguda has no shortage of strong generals who can fight, but there are still fewer capable civil servants.Although people like Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongxiong, and Wanyan Xiyin were capable of writing and martial arts, they were still fighting the world at this time. They were mainly used as generals, and they were responsible for the important task of expanding the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom.

After Wanyan Aguda captured Liaoyang Mansion, Linhuang Mansion and other places in the Liao Kingdom, he also recruited some civil servants from Han and Bohai people, but these civil servants still seemed insufficient in the face of the expanding territory.

Ximenqing, a businessman from the Song Dynasty, was talented in both civil and military affairs, and Wanyan Aguda admired his skills very much.If not, Wanyan Aguda would not have married his daughter Wanyan Wulu to him.

Now Ximen Qing became Wanyan Aguda's son-in-law, the son-in-law of the Great Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Aguda trusted him far more than those old ministers of the Liao Kingdom who were recruited by surrender.Therefore, Wanyan Aguda really wanted to reuse Ximen Qing and give full play to his business talents.

Am I successfully landed in Dajin Kingdom?Should I accept Wanyan Aguda's kind invitation?

Ximenqing was in a trance for a moment, as if taking refuge in the Kingdom of Jin, could it be regarded as a way to lie down and win after crossing over?At this time, if you agree to Wanyan Aguda, you will be guaranteed a lifetime of glory and wealth, right?

Ximen Qing, who is familiar with history, knows that at this stage of history, the Kingdom of Jin was the biggest winner. It first destroyed the Liao Dynasty, and then the Song Dynasty, ruled North China, and shocked the countries of Goryeo and Xixia.

When I crossed over at the beginning, the first crisis I faced was Wu Song desperately fighting with myself, and that crisis was quickly resolved.

The second crisis is that Liangshanbo bandits looted rich merchants and big households everywhere, threatening Yanggu County.Moreover, Song Jiang, Chai Jin and other bandits have an irreversible relationship with Wu Song, so they have to guard against them.This crisis was also successfully resolved by Ximen Qing's series of calculations.

The third and biggest crisis Ximenqing faced was that the Jin army would go south to destroy the Song Dynasty, and Hebei and Shandong would become battlefields. After all, he could not keep his rich life in Yanggu County.

Now by chance, he was able to hide behind Jin Jun. It seems that the third crisis and dilemma has also been successfully solved?

7 Chapter Sixty

The gracious invitation sent by Wanyan Agu, the son of destiny of this era, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, still had a little temptation for Ximen Qing.

If you don't want to work hard anymore, for Ximen Qing, it is also a good choice to promise Wanyan Agu to play Shijin Kingdom.

However, if he really chose to be an official in the Kingdom of Jin, Ximen Qing's hard work over the years would have been in vain.Ximenqing can't use those brothers and good friends in the Song Dynasty to help the Jurchens attack the Song Dynasty in the future, right?

Not to mention who is right and wrong between the Jurchens of the Kingdom of Jin and the gang of birds of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, if Ximenqing did this, there is a high probability that later generations will replace Qin Hui and become a big "traitor" who is reviled by others.

Moreover, with the national feelings of Ximen Qing's brothers and friends, I am afraid that they will part ways with Ximen Qing, or even turn against each other.That was not what Ximen Qing wanted to see.

Furthermore, it is impossible for Ximen Qing to go any further if he seeks refuge in the Kingdom of Jin and becomes an official in the Kingdom of Jin.As a Han, no matter how well Ximenqing did, he would never have the chance to become emperor in the Jin Kingdom where the Jurchens occupied the upper echelon.

"I control my own life!"

Ximen Qing still wants to use his knowledge beyond the times to fight in this troubled world, lead his brothers to compete in the world, and let himself be the emperor.

For the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Jin, Ximen Qing still has to be respectful and thankful!

In a flash, Ximen Qing figured it all out.Therefore, Ximen Qing tactfully declined the invitation of Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin.

Ximenqing told Wanyan Aguda that in the current situation in the world, staying in the territory of the Song Dynasty would be of greater help to the Kingdom of Jin.

Now Jin and Liao are fighting a war, and the land of Liaodong is in chaos.Even if the Kingdom of Jin defeated the Liao Kingdom and implemented the policy of recuperation after occupying the land of Zhongjing Road, this year's agricultural production would be delayed.Obviously, there will be a shortage of grain in Jingdao this year and next.

In addition to Zhongjing Road, Shangjing Road has only experienced wars and failed to resume its previous production. This year, there will inevitably be a situation of poor harvests.

That is to say, after the Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road areas of the former Liao Kingdom were merged into the Dajin Kingdom, there may soon be starvation and riots, which will have a negative impact on the rule of the Dajin Kingdom.

The shortage of food will further affect the Jin army's attack on Xijin Mansion in Nanjing and Datong Mansion in Xijing.

In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to transfer a large amount of food from Dajin abroad to survive the threat of famine in the past two years.

In the vicinity of Dajin Kingdom, the grasslands in the north are not grain-producing areas, and grassland tribes often die of cattle and sheep due to natural disasters, and then famine breaks out and loots everywhere.

The country of Koryo, bordering the southeast, is a mountainous and barren country. Its own food is not enough, and it cannot provide a large amount of food for the Jin country.

Japan in the East China Sea is closed to the outside world, and it is also a remote and poor country, so there is no hope for it.

The only one that can provide food for Dajin is Dasong, which is thousands of miles away in the south.

Even so, the Song court may not be willing to support the Dajin Kingdom with much food and grass.Only Ximenqing can use the means of a businessman to purchase a large amount of grain from the Jiangnan area and ship it to the Dajin Kingdom by sea to help the Dajin Kingdom solve the upcoming food crisis.

"Ximenqing, my good son-in-law, are you really able to continuously transport food from the south for me?"
