Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

You have always been on good terms with Brother Wuye, so you can go with him to see the situation in Zhongjing Road. "

My father-in-law wants me to immediately develop the trade route to Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing, and contribute to stabilizing the local situation!

Ximen Qing instantly understood what Wanyan Aguda meant.

If it wasn't for sending Bo'er a catty? Alan returned to the Mongolian tribe, Ximen Qing would have agreed to Wanyan Aguda.

This is a good opportunity to make war fortune!

This is the most chaotic period in Zhongjing Road.The more chaotic it is, the more Ximenqing will do monopoly business and make a fortune from the war.

After the war, food was more precious than gold, silver and jewelry. Ximen Qingzheng was using the cheap food from the Song Dynasty to exchange various gold and silver treasures from the local people.

Of course, Ximenqing is not the only one who can see such a business opportunity, and other merchants can also see the business opportunity.

However, seeing a business opportunity does not mean that you are destined to earn this money.

On the current Zhongjing Road, the Jin army, the Liao army, the tribal armies fighting on their own, and the bandit mobs who occupy the mountain as king are shuttled back and forth, one after another.

Ordinary businessmen dare to go to Zhongjing Road?I'm afraid nine lives are not enough.

Ximen Qing was different from them.Ximen Qing was an armed businessman who started out fighting robbers, and it was common for him to destroy a few cottage fortresses while doing business, and he might even take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Besides, who can compare Ximen Qing's special status!As the son-in-law of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom and the only gold-medal businessman in the Great Jin Kingdom, Ximenqing can mobilize the power of the Jin Army to escort him in business.

With an armed caravan escorted by the regular army, which brigand would dare to provoke it?

My father-in-law asked me to go to Zhongjing Road to make a lot of money. I really understand the truth of "the fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields"!

It's a pity that Ximen Qing has to go to the prairie first, and the matter of going to Zhongjing Dading Mansion to make war fortune can only be postponed for a few months.

The Zhongjing Road will not recover for a year or two, and Ximen Qing will not worry about not having opportunities to make money in the future.

"Father's kindness, my son-in-law accepts it. It's just that my son-in-law came here this time to relieve his father's worries and problems, and also to contribute a small amount to the Dajin Kingdom's crusade against the Liao Kingdom. The Zhongjing Dading Mansion must be obtained. Save it for another day.”

Ximen Qing held his head high, looked at Wanyan Aguda with piercing eyes, and assumed a gesture of self-recommendation.

Chapter 762 The Threat of the Grassland Ministries

"Ximen Qing, tell me, what worries do I have?"

Wanyan Aguda sat there, asking Ximen Qing calmly.

"Father, my son-in-law thinks that the worry of the Great Jin Kingdom lies in the north."

Ximen Qing Chengzhu answered with a heart in his chest.

Wanyan Aguda heard the words, his eyes lit up, he stroked his long beard, stared at Ximenqing and said: "My good son-in-law, tell me, why is the worry of the Great Jin Kingdom in the north?"

Ximen Qing took a piece of half-burned firewood from the brazier, drew a sketch on the ground with the charred black charcoal, pointed to a black spot and said:

"Father, this is the city of Taizhou captured by brother Mo Lianghu. In the northwest of Taizhou city, there is a golden mountain that stretches for thousands of miles. After crossing the golden mountain, there is an endless prairie.

If the son-in-law is right, then the grassland is the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division of the Liao Kingdom, and there are grassland nomadic tribes such as the Ugu, Dilie, Chazha and Mongolia tribes.

To the west of the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division is the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Liao Kingdom, where the Liao Army is stationed in Zhenzhou, Fangzhou, Zhaozhou, Weizhou and other cities.

When the army of our Dajin Kingdom went south from Linhuang Mansion to attack the mainland of the Liao Kingdom, the Northwest Road Recruitment Division and the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division in the north were like sharp knives on the back, and they were the greatest potential of the Dajin Kingdom. threaten.

Royal father, did my son-in-law make a mistake? "

Ximenqing spoke clearly about the situation of the various ministries on the northern grassland, which surprised Wanyan Aguda in his eyes.

Ximenqing was right. In Wanyan Aguda's mind, at this time around the Dajin Kingdom, the ministries of the grassland in the northwest of Jinshan Mountain were the greatest potential threat to the Dajin Kingdom.

Although the Jurchens also defeated the coalition forces of various grasslands who came to crusade with Emperor Tianzuo when they launched an army against the Liao Dynasty, they fought at the door of the Jurchens' house at that time, and there was no danger of exposing their flanks.

As the Kingdom of Jin continued to defeat the Kingdom of Liao and occupied more and more territory, when it attacked the Kingdom of Liao in the southwest, the weakness of the Kingdom of Jin's defense gradually became apparent.

When the Jin army captured the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom, the south faced the Liao army in the Zhongjing Road of the Liao Kingdom, and the north faced the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Liao Kingdom and the Ugudi Lie Commanding Army Division. situation.

When the Jin army made a big move to attack the Zhongjing Road of the Liao Kingdom from the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing to the south, the most worrying thing was that the coalition forces of various ministries in the grassland in the north suddenly rushed into Linhuang Mansion, Ningzhou, Taizhou, Changchun Prefecture and other places to cut off the Jin army. connection with the native land.

In fact, Wanyan Aguda also received information that Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom indeed appointed Xiao Yixue, who was hiding in the recruiting department on the Northwest Road, to stay in Shangjing, and asked him to recruit troops from various ministries on the grassland, and went south to attack Linhuang Mansion and the Jin Army side of the back.

However, due to Xiao Yixue's repeated defeats in repeated battles, the tribes such as the Heiche Shiwei and Zubu tribes who were friendly with him lost their troops and their vitality, and also caused Xiao Yixue to lose his strong mobilization ability in various tribes in the grassland.

Xiao Yixue failed to recruit enough troops, and was intercepted by Mao Zilian's army in the area of ​​Yala Mountain west of Gyeongju, failing to realize Emperor Tianzuo's strategic intention.

However, this does not mean that the threat from the north has disappeared.

On the contrary, from Wanyan Aguda's point of view, all the tribes in the grassland are capricious. Although they did not raise troops to respond to Xiao Yixue this time, it is impossible to predict when they will suddenly go south and invade the territory of the Dajin Kingdom.

The various ministries of the grasslands in the north have always been a heart disease that made the emperor Wanyan Agu of the Kingdom of Jin feel like a thorn in his throat.

In order to prevent the various ministries of the grassland from crossing Jinshan and attacking the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda fought in Tianfu for five years, that is, last year, picked up more than ten thousand families in Meng'an, and settled them in Taizhou, which strengthened Taizhou's power.

Wanyan Aguda appointed Wanyanpo Luhuo, the clan's clan, as the capital of Taizhou, and moved Shide, Chaduan, Ali Tuhuan, and Xi Tahan four Mouke to Taizhou to settle down, as Wanyanpo Luhuo's direct subordinate Mouke, let them Responsible for defending against the invasion of the grassland ministries in the northwest.

However, in the vast area from the west of Taizhou to the Linhuang Mansion, the Kingdom of Jin could not afford heavy troops to guard against the nomadic tribes in the north.

Wanyan Aguda stared at Ximen Qing, and thought to himself, my son-in-law only went to Linhuang Mansion twice with the army, and he can see the situation in the northwest border so thoroughly, he is really a remarkable Song man!

Such a person with both civil and military skills should let him guard one side for our Dajin Kingdom, so that he can make the best of his talents.

But my son-in-law likes to be a businessman, let him travel to Song State first to buy urgently needed supplies for my Dajin State.

After my Dajin Kingdom conquers the Liao Kingdom and obtains all of its land, why not let Ximen Qing be a member of one party and govern the region for me?

"Ximenqing, my good son-in-law, you are right. The northern grasslands are the biggest hidden worry and threat to our Dajin Kingdom. I wonder if you have any tricks to share my worries?"

Wanyan Aguda also picked up a piece of firewood, pointed at Ximen Qing's sketch, and asked Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing pointed to the simple map on the ground and said, "Father, when I was in Linhuang Mansion, I heard that there is a desert between the Northwest Road Recruiting Department and Linhuang Mansion, making it difficult to march.

If you want to recruit soldiers from the Northwest Road to attack our Dajin Kingdom, you must first march eastward through the grassland, and after arriving at the territory of the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division, go south into the territory of Linhuang Mansion.

Therefore, if Dajin can persuade the Wugu, Dilie, Chazha and Mongolian tribes of the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division to rebel against Liao and invest in gold, it will be able to cut off the eastward advance of the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Liao Kingdom . "

Wanyan Aguda heard the words, sighed and said: "My son-in-law, we also want to make friends with the various tribes in the grassland to ensure the peace of the northwest border. However, those nomadic tribes are uncivilized barbarians, and they rejected our envoy from the Kingdom of Jin." The sincerity of the grassland tribes. To subdue the hearts of these grassland tribes, it will not be achieved overnight. Since the son-in-law mentioned the threat of the grassland tribes today, could it be that he can make good friends with the grassland tribes in the north?"

"To tell you the truth, my son-in-law used to make friends with a few Mongolian nobles on the border of Song and Liao when he was doing business in Song.

This time, my son-in-law intends to go north to Nawu Ancient Enemy Lie Commanding Army Division, find some old friends of mine, and persuade the Mongolian tribe to betray the Liao Kingdom and instead form an alliance with our Jin Kingdom.

I heard that the Mongolian tribe is now the most powerful nomadic tribe in the Ugudi Army Division.As long as the Mongols were instigated, with their support, it would not be difficult to influence the Wugu, Dilie and Chazala tribes.

After the son-in-law persuaded these four ministries to form an alliance with the Dajin Kingdom, Liao Kingdom's Northwest Road recruiter Si Ke was isolated in the far northwest desert, and it was difficult to have an impact on the war situation in the Liao Kingdom. "
