Chapter 60 Do a military exercise to scare them?

Yang Qing was not young, but he was still ambitious. Although he did not dare to rebel, he was full of enthusiasm in his career.

This is completely different from when he was not yet pulled into the gang by Ouyang Bian. At that time, Yang Qing just wanted to eat and wait for death. If Ouyang Bian had not introduced famous teachers to teach his son as bait, Yang Qing might have been in the Maritime Bureau.

After tasting the taste of power, he is now full of enthusiasm for promotion. After all, the Minister of Commerce is already a high-ranking official. Although the chances of going up are slim, it is not a chance after all.

So this time, the envoys from various countries arrived, he was the most active one.

Needless to say, the Uighurs are traditional old partners, and the Tubu tribe has had trade exchanges. The trade volume of Goryeo is not high and can be expanded vigorously. Especially after the opening of the Mizhou Industrial Park, the future trade volume may increase significantly, and it is the first time that the Jurchens cooperate.

This time the arrival of the Jurchens really opened a new door.

The Jurchens were closely related to the Liao Kingdom between the Baishan and the Black Water. They were oppressed by the Liao Kingdom in trade. The precious fur was mostly used as tributes and could not be sold at all. There were many mountain goods from Changbai Mountain. Anyway, the sect leader could not sell at all, but Daxia offered a good price, which made them ecstatic.

Yang Qing was also quite confused because it was instructed by Ouyang Bian. He didn't need to offer this price, but Ouyang Bian ordered it like this.

Faced with Yang Qing's questions, Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "The Jurchens are so poor that they can't even afford to eat. The discounts given to them can be considered charity."

It is possible to be so evasive when facing Yang Qing, but it is impossible when facing Su Che, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun.

Ouyang Bian explained seriously: "The Jurchens' resistance is not enough, so they must let them see what a good life is, and then compare the oppression of the Liao Kingdom on them, so that they can make a decision to resist.

The Jurchens have very strong combat power. Once they fight against the Liao Kingdom, they will disperse the Liao Kingdom's huge energy, so that our pressure will be reduced."

Zhang Dun said: "But you also provide them with weapons. Their combat effectiveness is excellent. If they are allowed to develop, it will become a problem for us at that time."

Ouyang Bian sneered: "If China is defeated by a tribe, it must be that there is a problem within China itself. If China itself is strong, the surrounding tribes will only be scared.

The Huns, Turks, and other alien races are all powerful enough, but once China reaches its peak, these are just footnotes for the achievements of the Central Plains dynasty.

If we can annex the Khitan Song Dynasty and be troubled by the Jurchens, then we might as well stop here and enjoy it for decades. It would be worth it."

Su Che nodded and said, "Ji Mo is right. Ji Mo often says that he wants to make the enemy a little and make friends a lot. This makes sense. The so-called "family and close attacks" now is the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom is our biggest enemy. We unite many enemies of the Liao Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom together. In this way, even if the Liao Kingdom has three heads and six arms, it will not be able to deal with it."

Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile.

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Okay, I've become the object of your despise."

Lu Huiqing said: "In fact, whether it is the Jurchens, the Bu tribe, the Xizhou Uighurs, or the Goryeo, they have deep grudges about the Liao Kingdom. But if they take the initiative to attack the Liao Kingdom, they may not dare to do so unless the Liao Kingdom takes the initiative to provoke them. Although the current Liao emperor Yelu Hongji is stupid, he has no interest in launching a war. He likes to engage in Buddhist literature, just like a scholar. What if he does?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "After all, they are just afraid of revenge. If they find that our Daxia has strong enough force to defeat the Liao Kingdom, and the war with the Liao Kingdom is only the beginning, they will dare to resist, and their resistance will be very violent, because they know that if the Liao Kingdom recovers, they will die at that time."

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "What Ji Mo said is, then how should we show our strength to them?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "It's very simple. Let's do a military exercise first, and then defeat the Liao Kingdom in actual combat, exposing the weakness of the Liao Kingdom. At that time, we don't have to urge them, and they will take the initiative to attack the Liao Kingdom."

This is not the first time that Daxia has done military exercises. Ouyang Bian once did it when he ascended the throne. That time it was in Chang'an City, and now it is in Bianjing City.

Su Che smiled and said, "It is time to conduct a military exercise so that the people who have newly joined Daxia will come and see how strong our national strength is, and the people of Bianjing City will also show how prosperous and powerful their country is, instead of missing the decadent Song Dynasty."

Ouyang Bian laughed: "They shouldn't need it. They had already seen it when we drove the Song Dynasty to the south."

Lu Huiqing also smiled and said, "How long will it take to be built in Chang'an City? Bianjing City is prosperous, but it's a bit more delicate. I think Chang'an City is more suitable for military exercises."

Su Che smiled and said, "A city as big as Chang'an City is to be set up as the capital. How can it be completed so quickly? Bianjing City was the capital of the Song Dynasty before, and life was quite comfortable. In fact, it was quite good."

Zhang Dun quickly said: "Let's discuss the military exercises. This matter must be completed as soon as possible. The war in the north is probably coming soon. Maybe you can take them to the border to see it."

Ouyang Bian nodded: "Then let's make arrangements quickly. There is no need to do anything. When they see our army, they should understand everything."

Su Che nodded: "Yes, you don't even have to waste the people and money to carry out military exercises in Bianjing City. The business in Bianjing City is too prosperous. If you do military exercises, it will probably harm the interests of many merchants."

Ouyang Bian laughed: "Who said that military exercises will hurt their interests? Their business will be done. Let's just hold a military game, horse riding, archery, running, and queue training, which can all be used as performance events. These can be opened to the people of Bianjing City. At that time, not only will it not affect business, but it will become an unprecedented sports event. With so many people, they are still afraid that there will be no business?"

Su Che smiled and said, "It's true that he is the God of Wealth who turns stones into gold. This idea is good. It shows strength and benefits the people. It can also boost the people's confidence. Great charity!"
