Chapter 265 The situation of Daliao

wOf course, I not only went to the wine shop for a walk, but also talked to some merchants. Through the power of money, I got a lot of news from them.

The same goes for Master and the others. They entered the Gaoyao Teahouse and the Boiling Brothel respectively and heard a lot of information.

After summarizing the two sides, gradually, we have a preliminary understanding of the situation in the Liao Dynasty.

Compared with the stable development of the Great Song Kingdom, the current situation of the Great Liao Kingdom is very unstable.

Two years ago, the Emperor of Liao Shengzong of Liao, died, leaving his son Yelu Zongzhen to succeed to Emperor Zhaoxiao, but the young emperor who succeeded to the throne at the age of 16 had no real power at all. The power of the Liao Dynasty was controlled by the Empress Xiao. This Empress Dowager Xiao, who was originally a palace maid, was cruel and ruthless. As soon as his son became the emperor, he killed Empress Dowager Xiao, and killed important officials on a large scale, enfeoffed his brothers and sisters, and even the servants all had their own titles.

The first Empress Dowager Xiao's rebellious actions of course caused dissatisfaction among the traditional forces of the Great Liao Kingdom. These people either held heavy troops or were the commander of a tribe. Even the Emperor of Liao Shengzong had to give some face, so they were not afraid of Empress Dowager Xiao. In the past two years, they had a very strong struggle with Empress Dowager Xiao, which caused constant disputes in various places, and even some people who were fighting inside.

Overall, because she occupies the title of righteousness, Empress Dowager Xiao still has the advantage. Her power in the court and the opposition can control at least 60% of the court officials and military horses, which is very powerful.

In the turbulent Great Liao Kingdom, there are only a little calmer place. Because it involves the interests of too many people, whether it is the meritorious nobles or the empress dowager party, they all rely on the taxes and things here to live, so they have a tacit understanding that they will not go to war here, and try their best to maintain stability here.

Under such circumstances, the rulers in Liaoyang City must of course be shocked. This person is the young nephew of former wise queen Xiao Yanyan, King Zhao Xiao Luhan.

Xiao Yanyan is a legendary figure of the Liao Kingdom. She is the first-class person in the world, and it is her decades of efforts that the Liao Kingdom has truly become a country. Instead of the loose tribe of the grassland barbarians. As a result, even though she has been dead for many years, she still has a very high reputation in the court and the people.

Xiao Luhan is Xiao Yanyan's favorite nephew. He is only forty-six years old this year. He is very good at both literary and military skills. Therefore, he was sent to guard Liaoyang City twenty years ago and has never changed.

Under Xiao Luhan's plan, Liaoyang City has completely changed its appearance compared to 20 years ago, becoming the second largest city in the Liao Kingdom, second only to Shangjing City.

Let’s talk about our “heroic blood”, it was after he discovered the delicious food that he paid tribute to Shangjing City, which triggered the enthusiastic pursuit of the royal nobles of the Great Liao Kingdom.

Although Xiao Luhan claimed that he had no "heroic blood", everyone, including the emperor, felt that he should still have private goods, so there were endless people coming to him every day, striving to get another hundred pounds. If it was not possible, twenty or thirty pounds would be fine.

It is said that because of this, Xiao Luhan sent three fleets to Fusang in a row, but they all returned empty-handed, which really made him feel very regretful.

"We can get in touch with this King Zhao." After analyzing the situation, Ba Ye said in a deep voice: "He has a good reputation in Liaoyang City. He is full of people here, and he has an elite army of 100,000. In addition, he is 46 years old, and he is at the age of 100,000, and he is at the age of 46. He can at least ensure that our business will be prosperous for at least twenty years!"

The master agreed with this, but he also had questions: "He is a high-ranking and powerful prince. What should we find to contact him?"

"It depends on the timing." Ba Ye smiled and said, "Anyway, we're just here for one day, right?"

"yes!"

The master, who was sitting in the cabin, looked out the open wooden window, "The navy soldiers are too tired. After a day of rest, let them go out for a walk. It is not beneficial to stay on the boat all day long."

More than 10,000 people were stuck on the boat. If they were sailing, they would be fine. If they stayed in one place, that would be the real torture. This is why they wanted to find the girl when they got off the boat last time they arrived at the port of Busan.

This time, it is probably the same, but unlike the price in the port of Busan, the price of brothel girls in the Great Liao Kingdom is cheaper, because the women here have no status, and at least more than 50,000 women come to the port area outside Liaoyang City to make a living. In this way, the price can't be raised even if you want to.

Being a conscientious master is not an easy task.

In order to keep the navy soldiers fighting and full of energy, before going to bed at night, the two fathers discussed that during the period when they were docking in Liaoyang Prefecture, they would replenish five gold judges every day for each person who went on a fleet, and they would spend as much as they could.

It is conceivable that most of these Jin Xiaojudgments have been in the girls' pockets, but both sides are willing to do so, so there is no need to pursue them anymore.

However, there are also conditions. At least on these days, daily training is indispensable. If anyone fails to train, don’t think about subsidies.

...

The next morning, amid the cheers of twenty ships, a spectacular scene of tens of thousands of people standing in the open space and training boxing appeared on the dock we occupied.

In mid-September, it was not the peak season for Liaoyang Port to do business, so the place was spacious enough. Some of the fleets next to us saw such a lively scene, and unexpectedly, many people came out to watch.

As well as the two huge military camps on both sides, thousands of cavalrymen galloped out. After watching around for a long time, they found that we were just training with bare hands, and then they slowly retreated.

After all, this situation has happened frequently before. Sooner or later, I will get sick when I stayed on the boat. Sooner or later, the sailors usually come out to stroll around the shore. Because of this, the business of the shops around the port is so good, and more than 50,000 girls will have a prosperous business.

I also inquired yesterday. The two large military camps each had 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 soldiers, both of whom were elite troops of King Xiao Luhan of Zhao. Once there was any reaction, they would immediately come out to suppress possible riots.

They are not the Hatan Army and the Tsugu Light Army. Once the soldiers of the Great Liao Kingdom who have been on horseback have been sprinting on the plains, they will definitely be three times stronger than our half-baked cavalry. Like before, the elite Great Song soldiers were completely wiped out by Great Liao Kingdom cavalry, which is far less than their own, let alone our three.

If we were in a complex terrain, we could defeat these fierce elites of the Great Liao Kingdom, but if we were on the wide flat ground of this wharf, we would definitely be defeated. Even if we had the fierce Rakshasa Guard Banner, we would not be able to shake the power of the cavalry.

Besides, we are not here to find fault, we are just getting off the boat and going, and the Liaos will not interfere. Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.m
