"Cultivate the enemy of the Liao Kingdom?" Emperor Zhao Xu asked back. He was shocked by the distance of the Zubu tribe, and forgot that the Zubu tribe was actually north of the Hetao Plain, and it had already bordered the Song Dynasty in terms of geographical location.

"As the continuous use of new smelting technology and the large-scale equipment of firearms, the weapons and equipment in the Song Dynasty will inevitably undergo great changes. The existing weapons and armor are all under pressure to replace them. This will have a great impact on the Song Dynasty's finances that have just begun to stabilize. You should know that the Song Dynasty's army is still at least one million, and changing a new knife is a considerable expense, not to mention other more expensive weapons! In addition to returning to the furnace and resilient, these eliminated weapons will be sold to the minority groups of the Liao Kingdom, which will receive a considerable income..."

"But if those nations get the weapons of the Song Dynasty, what will happen if the Liao Kingdom react after knowing the inside story, will the Liao minority ethnic groups that we have supported will in turn rob us of the Song Dynasty?!" Sima Guang interrupted Wang Jinghui's words.

"This possibility may also happen. After all, everything will have two sides. Since they even rebel against their own country, it is hard to guarantee that they will not attack my Song Dynasty!" Wang Jinghui replied in a realistic manner. He did not avoid Sima Guang's questioning. After all, the chance of such a thing happening is very high, and there is no need to cover up the bell on this issue.

"But the area where our Song Dynasty borders is only another area of ​​the Hetao Plain. There may be a Yan Army Division in the former Heishui Town of Xixia soon, but the available value is not great. You should know that the desert is as big as one-sixth of the Song Dynasty! As long as the Dingxi Army guards the Hetao Plain, there is no need to worry too much about the safety there. Besides, the development of the Hetao Plain has just begun, and the main force is composed of herders from the Liao Kingdom. Even if some losses are suffered, it is acceptable for our Song Dynasty to take a step back, since it is bordered by the Shangjing Road of the Liao Kingdom, it is natural for us to face the challenge of the Shubu Tribe. It would be better to take this opportunity to join the Shubu Tribe and lead their anger to the Khitans. As long as the Dingxi Army has enough force to capture the opponent, and the defense surface of the Hetao Plain is smaller than that of the soft and narrow, the nomadic peoples in the north will not easily take risks!" Wang Jinghui said firmly.

"As long as you are strong enough, you can shock the opponent and not act rashly. The Western Army must have the ability to bear the safety of the Hetao Plain!" Wang Jinghui added finally. He had never seen the combat effectiveness of the Dingxi Army, but there were three disciples in that army who had been in charge for a long time. It would not take long for Tianji to Jicheng to enter this army. The supplement of excellent talents not only brought about the increase in strength, but also the change in combat methods - facing Genghis Khan's ancestors, the local tactics they used were the standard nomadic fighting method, and think about the achievements of the Mongols in later generations. He completely believed that the Dingxi Army would not be inferior. However, this sharp sword went to the northern nomadic people!

As soon as Wang Jinghui finished speaking, the entire Funing Hall fell into silence, and everyone was quickly evaluating the pros and cons of it. However, Zeng Gongliang stood up and said, "I think it is feasible to sell weapons that have been eliminated in the Song Dynasty. As long as it is strictly controlled, it is even possible to sell them the firearms equipped by the Song Dynasty in the first year of Zhiping!"

Wang Jinghui was stunned after hearing this. He did not expect that the first person to stand up to agree with his crazy plan was Zeng Gongliang. However, his thoughts changed and he immediately figured out the reasons. Zeng Gongliang's base camp was in Hebei! Hebei has been facing the threat of local military competition in Liao Kingdom for a long time. Although the Song Dynasty has increased its strength now, the confrontation between the Song and Liao families is definitely coming, but being able to open up the Northwest Front to reduce the damage to Hebei by the war is also a good choice!

Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Guo Kui and others also had thoughtful expressions in their eyes. Obviously, with their intelligence, they could completely infer Zeng Gongliang's small abacus. No matter what Zeng Gongliang was thinking in his heart, as long as his opinions were at this time, Wang Jinghui did not need to blame Zeng Gongliang for his behavior of pretending to be public and personal. Perhaps they were not as dirty as they thought.

"What Mr. Zeng said is that, because there is no saltpeter or sulfur deposit on Shangjing Road of Liao Kingdom. Maybe there is, but with their backward local production capacity, it is impossible to mine at all. At least the raw materials of the Khitan gunpowder workshops are mined from near Zhongjing Prefecture or smuggled from sulfur balls. In fact, even if they have raw materials for gunpowder production, they will not help. We and the Khitans will not give them the formula for gunpowder production. Not only will the explosion of the gunpowder produced by simple mixing are not good, but some will not even explode. Now the production of firearms in the Song Dynasty is no longer enough to have raw materials, and its structure has greatly increased the difficulty of imitating firearms. The Song Dynasty has sold the firearms to Goryeo and other countries. It is nothing to have one more trumpet. It might as well open the price higher!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile.

Since Xiao Youdan's death, what he suggested to buy gunpowder raw materials from sulfur balls, and invest manpower, material resources and financial resources to increase the research on firearms was basically adopted by Yelu Hongji. However, the trade of gunpowder raw materials for sulfur balls was basically cut off by the Song Dynasty. Under the threat of the Liao Kingdom, the sulfur ball barely agreed to sell saltpeter and sulfur to the Liao Kingdom. However, the sea power of the Song Dynasty monitored the trends at sea at all times, especially the sensitive things such as gunpowder raw materials are the top priority, so even if the Liao Kingdom can buy raw materials from sulfur balls, it cannot be transported back to the Liao Kingdom on a large scale.

Xiao Youdan's death made Wang Jinghui's strategy of incorporating sulfur balls under the direct rule of the Song Dynasty failed, but the senior leaders of the Song Dynasty ruled had already attached great importance to the issue of gunpowder raw materials. Even if he did not add fuel to it, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were trying to achieve this goal in private. At least Wang Anshi and others were planning to pretend to relax the monitoring of Liao at sea, let the sulfur balls boldly sell the raw materials to Liao, and then block the big ones as an excuse to fight the sulfur balls. This plan is already in the process of selling and applying, but there is only a lack of an appropriate opportunity.

In this era, a powerful country like the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty existed. Neither side could use force to erase the other side. As a result, they sat down and competed secretly. The force struggle turned into political checks and balances. One of the important weights was "ritual". Both sides were unlikely to attack and wipe out other surrounding small countries to enrich their strength. However, the result reflected on the map was that the Song Dynasty suffered a loss. The Song Dynasty suffered a loss. There were far more small countries around the Song Dynasty than the Liao Kingdom. Xixia, Dali, Jiaozhi, Tubo? Especially the Western Xia has always had a great threat to the Song Dynasty. However, this largest tumor has been removed quietly by the Song Dynasty. The speed was surprisingly fast and did not give the Liao Kingdom any chance to intervene. Member wzwwzw0001

Liao Kingdom, which had lost a game in the Western Xia game, will never lose the game below. Except for Xixia, at least in the next 20 or 30 years, there will be no small country around the Song Dynasty that can pose a threat to the Song Dynasty as much as the Western Xia. Dali is not offensive, and Tubo and Jiaozhi are thoughtful but not strong enough. Tubo tribes have not yet formed a central group as powerful as the Tang Dynasty. They are still in a loose tribal alliance. Moreover, they have been frightened by the firearms used by the Song Dynasty in the Battle to Destroy Xia, and even watched helplessly.

The long-coveted Hexi Corridor area was occupied by the Song army and did nothing; as for Jiaozhi, there was no need to expect. The Song Dynasty was increasingly vigorously developing overseas trade, and at the same time, it also established a daunting maritime force. In the past, the Song Dynasty was really difficult to touch Jiaozhi's pain from land. Now, it only needs to be put on warships to threaten Jiaozhi's rule. Is this auspicious country still expecting them to drag down the Song Dynasty?! What a pity that Xixia! The Khitans have never missed Xixia as much as they are now. The days when Xixia came to check and balance the Song Dynasty really made them miss it!

"I think it is feasible to smuggle firearms to the Bushi Department!" Wen Yanbo and Guo Kui said at the same time. After saying that, they looked at each other and were very surprised that the other party and his ideas were so consistent for the first time. Although there have always been military officials in the Privy Council as the Privy Council. However, this situation rarely happens. More literati take this position to suppress the military power. This is also the lessons learned by the founders of the Song Dynasty since the Tang and Five Dynasties. Because Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin himself started his business with the military mutiny and established the Song Dynasty. He knew better than anyone that he had to achieve long-term stability and ensure that his descendants stabilized the throne, suppressing the military power was the first priority.

Wen Yanbo and Guo Kui's opinions made everyone nod. It was no longer a day for the Song Dynasty to export firearms, especially Goryeo, which borders the Liao Kingdom, is the number one firearm trading country in the Song Dynasty. With the help of the firearms purchased from the Song Dynasty, not only made the relationship between Goryeo and the Song Dynasty increasingly close, but also made the relationship between Goryeo and the Liao Kingdom increasingly cold. Goryeo has launched three or four attacks on Changbai Mountain tribe and Huiba tribe in recent years, which also touched the nerves of the high-level rulers of the Liao Kingdom. Although it was disrespectful to the Liao Kingdom and often rebelled, it was also the internal affairs of the circumcised country. It was not the turn of Goryeo to intervene in it!

In addition to the great political rewards of the Song Dynasty, the trade in firearms with Goryeo also achieved many economic benefits. In turn, it also promoted the production and renewal of the Song Dynasty firearms, reduced the cost of the Song army equipped with firearms, and made it possible to equip the Song army on a large scale. If we refer to the examples of firearms trade in Goryeo, the firearms produced by gunpowder produced with the best formula for trading, such low-level explosion power firearms are indeed no threat to the Song Dynasty. The role of this kind of firearms on the battlefield is more of a threat and intimidation, and is very effective for those female tribes who have never seen explosions, and even played an important role in some battles. However, this has what practical significance for the Song army, because the firearms equipped in the Song army can be truly used for actual combat, and their power is even beyond the imagination of the Koreans!

"In the matter of forming an alliance with the Pubu Ministry, my dear should send people to contact us as soon as possible, trade and trade, smuggling weapons or even firearms, but these must be customized with the Privy Council. Those who can sell Pubu people must have a detailed plan, but remember not to raise a tiger to cause trouble!" Emperor Zhao Xu said.

Zhao Xu's final words were considered to have reached a conclusion for this meeting. Although everyone did not attach much importance to the impact of the rebellion of the Bu tribe like Wang Jinghui, he thought in his mind that he could cause some trouble for his old opponents to ensure the continued peace between the Song and Liao countries, which was also a good choice. Moreover, during the dispute between Song and Xia, the Liao Kingdom had not many secretly joined forces with the Western Xia to give the Song Dynasty an eye medicine. This time, the Feng Shui took turns, and it was the Song Dynasty's turn to give the Liao Kingdom some eye medicine!

"Master, the contact candidates can be carefully selected from the intelligence personnel in the training place of the Biandu Intelligence Bureau, but the Master must also be asked to give an official position so that they can not be despised by the barbarians when they go deep into the tribe. In addition, in addition to the Bubu tribe, the female tribe gathered in Tokyo Road in the Liao Kingdom can also send such secret envoys to Liange, which is more convenient for them to contact. They can trade and provide supplies directly through the sea!" Wang Jinghui added.

Wang Jinghui was very excited about cultivating opponents for the Liao Kingdom. Although from the perspective of historical development, this was a bit of a tightrope, it was undoubtedly more of a far-reaching significance for the Song Dynasty to quickly resolve the development of the Liao Kingdom and then suppress the development of the northern nomadic peoples. Therefore, he valued this plan more than other officials in the Funing Hall. Of course, if these nomadic peoples could be cultivated into countries with strong strength, it would be better to completely divide the vast territory of the Liao Kingdom and form three or four countries, and it would be better to break the fruits of the Song Dynasty. This would also be beneficial to the Song Dynasty defeating them one by one. From a geographical point of view, as long as the Song Dynasty recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and seized the important defense area in the north, with the strength of the Song Dynasty, the difficulty of the nomadic people going south to harass the Song Dynasty will increase in a very large way!

This operation planned by the Intelligence Center is undoubtedly a long-term investment. Fortunately, the Intelligence Bureau itself has developed and grown for several years, and although there are still many shortcomings, it has generally formed a benign development framework, which can be continuously improved. Intelligence personnel have formed a one-stop service from training to use, and it is sufficient to use it according to current needs. Wang Jinghui and Wen Yanbo did not spend much effort to select suitable talents to carry out this special mission.

The Zhaoshuo from the Bu tribe, Cai Bingfeng and others. The secret envoys who went to the Tokyo Road of Liao Kingdom completely relied on the help of the Liao Kingdom's local intelligence network, especially the Xu family in Laizhou. They had a very large business network on the Tokyo Road of Liao Kingdom, such as the Huiba tribe, Changbai Mountain tribe, Wanyan tribe and even the five countries further north, all of whom were interested in traveling. Although their power was not very strong there, they were always better than those who were not strong. Under the special circumstances of Wang Jinghui, such a net was considered to be spread. As for the effect, it depends on God's intention.

Just when Wang Jinghui sent intelligence personnel to act as liaison envoys to poach the Liao Kingdom's corner, the Liao Kingdom's intelligence network continued to send back intelligence. The most conspicuous one was Xing Luren, the last one of the prestigious "Three Yu Yue" of Liao Kingdom, died half a month ago. Wang Jinghui could not say what it felt like in his heart about the death of such an outstanding Liao Kingdom who could be compared with Yelu Xiu Ge, but the death of this old guy was undoubtedly good news for the Song Dynasty. In a pivotal figure like the Liao Kingdom, one less died.

Yelu Renxian's death was somewhat stimulated by his son Tabuya's defeat and killed. According to the information received, the Liao Kingdom is still helpless in the rebellion of Mogus. However, because Mogus is still far from the core ruling area of ​​the Liao Kingdom, and the deliberate concealment of the senior ruling leaders of the Liao Kingdom, all the Liao Kingdoms are still a scene of peace and prosperity on the surface, and they are not greatly affected.

Wang Jinghui was a little clear about the Liao Kingdom when he read "History of the Song Dynasty" in later generations, but he had never read the history of Liao after all, not to mention that the history of the Song and Liao Dynasty was written by the Mongols, and many things were not the same at all. He knew less about the incidents of the Mogus rebellion, which basically did not. In fact, he suspected that Mogus' rebellion might not be so powerful in the time and space where he lived, and could not have been killed in battle, and even this chaos had not happened. It was just that after he came to this time and space, he kept increasing the strength of the Song Dynasty and dug hard to the corners of the Liao Kingdom, which led to the history of the Liao Kingdom also undergoing certain changes.

No matter what, it is unnecessary to consider these things. The Liao Kingdom has no way to do this for the time being. It would be better to make Mogus more disturbing. Even if it was to capture a core ruling city like Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture, it would be great. Wang Jinghui remembered that Wanyan Aguda had no hope of overthrowing the Liao Kingdom when he founded the Jin Dynasty. After all, the strength of the Liao Kingdom still had a strong influence in the hearts of the nomadic people under his rule. However, Wanyan Aguda defeated the Liao army repeatedly and captured the Liao Kingdom's Liao Kingdom's Tokyo Liaoyang Prefecture. After understanding the reality of the Liao Kingdom, he decided to join the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Kingdom. It can be seen that once the nomadic people under the Liao Kingdom realized that their Khitan rulers were now empty, it would greatly stimulate their ambitions to compete one by one to deteriorate the living environment in the north. They also wanted to migrate south, but it was this country that blocked their route of migration south!

Some readers reacted that they made a major geographical mistake. In her, the distance between Ulaanbaatar and Beijing was not as far away as that between Beijing and Guangzhou, but have readers ever thought that there were various ways to go from Beijing to Guangzhou during the Song Dynasty, either by land south, by boat or by boat or even by sea to go to sea. It was also feasible to take a boat to go to sea. During the Song Dynasty, Arabs took a Song Dynasty boat to and from the Song Dynasty to travel between the Song Dynasty and the Dashi. However, the distance between Ulaanbaatar and Beijing seemed not far, but at that time there was no direct and obvious road access!
