After Wanyan Zonghan submitted Liu Yu's request to the thatched cottage, it immediately aroused discussion among the kings and ministers of Dajin.
There is no doubt that there are great differences within the Jin Kingdom on whether the Song Dynasty should be at war or at peace. The generals led by Wanyan Zonghan advocated an all-out attack on the Song Dynasty, and after destroying the Song Dynasty, they occupied the Central Plains and the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River.
From their standpoint, it is actually easy to understand that only with war can there be military merit, and only with military merit can there be power. If there is a peace with Song Dynasty, where will there be room for their generals to perform?
However, the civil servants of the Jin Kingdom held different opinions, especially the Han officials in the court.
In their view, the Jin and Song Dynasties had finally achieved temporary peace. If war broke out again, it would be of no benefit to the Jin Dynasty or the Song Dynasty. It would be impossible to maintain the current situation.
Wanyan Zongyi undoubtedly supported the decision of the civil servants. In addition to agreeing with the civil servants' reasons above, he also had some selfish motives. After all, Wanyan Zonghan's reason for sending troops was to deal with Shen Wanshu.
According to Wanyan Zongyi's idea, if he could marry her, she would naturally belong to Dai Jin, so why rely on force to destroy her?
But Wanyan Zongyi's idea was a bit too naive. Song and Jin had gone through several wars and had deep grudges. It was simply impossible for him to marry Zhao Yingluo.
Wanyan Sheng's thoughts were actually similar to those of the civil servants. The continuous war between the Jin and Song Dynasties had consumed a lot of wealth and manpower. Now that the market is open, money is flowing into Dajin continuously. How great is this.
However, Wanyan Sheng was also a little entangled. Rather than being entangled, he was more afraid.
During that trip to the market, he saw the continuous import of fabrics, grains, exquisite handicrafts and other products from the Song Dynasty. He fully realized that the Song Dynasty had a vast land and rich resources. If the Song Dynasty's land was merged into the Jin Dynasty, wouldn't these items belong to the Jin Dynasty? Yet?
What impressed him most was the woman named Shen Wanshu, who could actually increase food production by more than five times!This cannot but be ignored.
If Song Ting was rich in food and had strong soldiers and horses, would Da Jin still be able to poop and urinate on Song Ting's neck?cannot!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Sheng turned his attention to his favorite son, Wanyan Zongyi.
Wanyan Zongyi was not stupid. He read a lot from his father's eyes. The main idea was to ask himself if he could marry this woman as soon as possible.
But Wanyan Zongyi was really unsure. After that meeting in October, he had no contact with the other party. How could he communicate with each other? So he had to look elsewhere.
Seeing his son's avoiding eyes, Wanyan Sheng already had an idea in his mind.
Regardless of whether his son can marry this woman, Song Ting must give her a hard knock, which can kill four birds with one stone.
The first priority is to protect Daqi. Qi is his own son who has supported it with his own hands. It would not be in the interests of Dajin if he allowed Song Ting to attack and destroy Qi!If you can use this to give Song Ting a beating, he will stop coveting Da Qi.
The second eagle can use this to ask Da Qi and Song Ting to reimburse the money for sending troops, and increase the annual coins contributed by Song Ting.
As for the third eagle, of course, it was to appease the generals. If Daijin did not fight for a long time, those generals might still stir up trouble. What's more, under a long period of peace, the relaxation of military equipment would naturally be detrimental to Daikin.
By the time he got to the fourth eagle, he was naturally thinking about his the war, if the Song Dynasty wanted to meet Dajin's requirements, it had to increase domestic a large taxpayer, Shen Wanshu would definitely be dissatisfied with Song Ting's tax policy. As long as her son promised her land and more generous taxes, or even tax exemption, she would not be afraid that she would not fall in love with her son with such generous conditions.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Sheng showed a very strange smile, which made the ministers a little stunned.
"My lords, I think Nianhan's (Wanyan Zonghan) suggestion is feasible. Daqi is my arm of Dajin. If Daqi is destroyed by the Song people, how can I, Dajin, win the hearts of the people in the world? Therefore, I have decided that by Nianhan is the marshal, and A Lin (Wanyan Zongyi) is the deputy marshal. They command 5 troops to go south from Taiyuan and Zhongshan respectively! Attack Kaifeng from both sides. We must break the siege of Daqi and return with a complete victory."
In addition to fulfilling the wish of Wanyan Zonghan, a war madman, Wanyan Sheng also appointed his son Wanyan Zongyi as deputy commander, which actually had selfish motives.
On the one hand, as the deputy commander-in-chief, his son Alin can hold back Nianhan at critical moments and make him less successful in military affairs.
On the other hand, Ah Lin could find a chance to communicate with that woman more. It would be best if she could persuade her to stop fighting without fighting. At worst, her army would be completely destroyed. Without any support, she would have to marry obediently. Come over and be your daughter-in-law? After Wanyan Zonghan was appointed, he was overjoyed. In his opinion, His Majesty trusted and relied on him. If he had made great achievements and established enough prestige in the army, even the position of crown prince would not be impossible.
Wanyan Zonghan had his own plan. Crown Prince Wanyan Gao had just passed away due to illness a month ago. The position of the crown prince was vacant. If he really took control of the military power, he would definitely win over Shubanbo. Extremely powerful job.
Wanyan Zonghan has his little Jiujiu, but little does he know that Wanyan Sheng is also always wary of him.
……
After a day's march, Han Shizhong's army finally joined Zhao Yingluo's army, but the two armies did not merge into one.
Zhao Yingluo besieged the north of the city, and Han Shizhong besieged the south, completely surrounding the entire city.
That night, Han Shizhong brought several followers to Zhao Yingluo's camp in the north of the city, and met the legendary princess who was rumored among the people.
When he actually saw her, besides being surprised by her peerless beauty, she also seemed vaguely familiar, like an old friend.
At this time, Zhao Yingluo was wearing a military uniform and a warm cloak made of mink velvet. Under the candlelight, she looked heroic.
On both sides of her stood Yue Fei, Wang Zaixing and other Jiangling figures.
In terms of positions, Zhao Yingluo and he were both recruiting envoys, and they had the same position. However, because Zhao Yingluo had official concessions, Han Shizhong believed that Zhao Yingluo should be a Shangguan. Therefore, after entering the camp, Han Shizhong first He bowed to Zhao Yingluo and saluted.
Zhao Yingluo stood up and hurriedly returned the gift. After everyone sat down, she took a closer look at this anti-gold hero who was almost as famous as Yue Fei in later generations.
He is more than ten years older than Yue Fei, and has the calmness of a middle-aged man in his 40s. Like Yue Fei, he has an older appearance than normal people because he leads troops to fight all year round.
After Han Shizhong sat down, he asked, "Now that Liu Lin is hiding in the city, and Liu Yi is about to lead his army to help, I wonder what the princess's plan is?"
Zhao Yingluo smiled and said, "The next step is to attack the city. I wonder what the general's clever plan is?"
