Chapter Five Hundred and Nineteen Jingde
New Year's Eve is coming.
Yelu Longxu had no choice. He was not a fool. No matter what subordinate Zhao Heng said, he might not take it seriously, but this was given the way to him.
However, if you don't surrender, you will be waiting to die.
I believe that once twilight comes, the Song army will launch a general attack from all directions to seek good luck in the New Year. This little army has long been robbed of its anger, and the whole army is depressed. How can it fight? Besides, even if it fights back, it will be destroyed by my younger brother.
So Xiao Talin was sent to the Song army camp to ask for surrender.
Ninety percent of the soldiers still hated the Liao Kingdom, including Song Jiu. They can take into account the overall situation, govern the law, and use both kindness and power. The power is enough. If the Song Dynasty had not intentionally released it, there would be no more than 5,000 Liao soldiers who could escape back. All 300,000 were gone in an instant.
Therefore, we must also take care of our kindness.
Why did Li Shimin adopt Jie Li and the two Khans, not only to restrain Li Jing and other heroes, but also to appease the hearts of the Turkic people in the north with them. So he gave Yelu Longxu the Taibao of Liao Kingdom and the Kaifu Yi and the Three Sessions to share the affairs of the three departments, and then gave him no worship in court. After all, he was the emperor of a great country.
Have enough face.
He also personally asked Yelu Longxu what he meant, Xiao Yanyan was dead, and the body was properly kept in the Song Dynasty, whether it was sent to the imperial tomb of Liao Kingdom or to be buried in Gong County.
Yelu Longxu thought for a long time, and finally said with a deep heart: "Send it to Shangjing."
But I guess the name Shangjing will also be changed.
Begin to surrender.
After reorganizing the Liao army surrendered, he awarded some important generals and officials of the Liao Kingdom a free position. The official position is very high, but it is not a bad position. He may use it in the future, but he will not use them at the moment. However, he killed Xiao Talin, the culprit of the invasion. This man not only committed many evil in the Battle of Wangdu, but also the main invader of this invasion.
Then the three armies cheered and celebrated New Year's Eve here.
Of course, it was not as lively as Kaifeng New Year's Eve, but the news spread, and the entire Song Dynasty was almost so happy that it was crazy.
It is said that after the news was sent to the capital on the second day of the first lunar month, the entire capital was caught in a sea of cheering. That day, many people were drunk happily.
However, the army cannot delay.
As the food and grass gradually arrived, the Song army divided into several groups and officially launched the battle to recover Yanyun.
The slogan is very big, but the scale of the battle is very small.
If Xiao Yanyan was still there, if there was no such a crushing defeat, the Liao Kingdom would have gathered 300,000 troops.
However, Xiao Yanyan was gone and was defeated so badly. Most of them belonged to the direct army of the Liao Kingdom. Where can we summon so many troops? It can be summoned, but it is not the direct line. If it is forced to summon from other tribes, it will be weak and strong. Will something worse happen?
Of course, the army must be recruited. But the Khitan and Xi people must be the main ones, but how much they can be recruited is a question mark, and how long it takes is a question mark. Therefore, after Yelu Longqing quickly ascended the throne, he immediately issued an edict to withdraw Yan Yun's army, try to withdraw the people and wealth, and officials as much as possible. He left some officers and soldiers to resist and win time for the retreat.
It was not because Yelu Longqing heard Xiao Guanyinnu's suggestion, but because the situation was forced. Not only were there 300,000 soldiers and horses, but many people were also lost behind the mountain. The Liao Kingdom fell into a pit, and the Song army quickly moved north and soon came to the city.
The Liao Kingdom did not have enough troops to compete with it. Even if Yelu Xiuge was alive, he could not recover this situation.
Only by withdrawing the army from Yanyun, we can concentrate our troops to compete with the upcoming army of the Song Dynasty.
However, Yelu Longqing's talent is just that, he gave up the fourteen prefectures of Yanyun, Youzhou is Beijing. Shunzhou is Beijing Shunyi, Ruzhou is Beijing Yanqing, Tanzhou is Beijing Miyun, Jizhou is Tianjin Jixian, Zhuozhou is Zhuozhou. Yingzhou is Hejian, Mozhou is Hebei Renqiu, Xinzhou is Hebei Zhuolu, Guizhou is Hebei Huailai, Wuzhou is Hebei Xuanhua, Weizhou is Weixian, Yingzhou is Yingxian, Huanzhou Shuozhou East, Shuozhou, Yunzhou is Datong. Now some state names have been changed, and some states have been merged. They are basically within the Great Wall.
However, there is also a vast area within the Great Wall, which is the southern part of Qinhuangdao and Tangshan area, which was later called Pingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, but before Shijingtang cedes the fourteen prefectures of Yanyun, the Liao Kingdom had already obtained Pingzhou a few years ago and Zunhua County in the northern part of Jizhou. Later, the Liao Kingdom renamed Zunhua County to Jingzhou, and Pingzhou was named Pingzhou in all three, and Yingzhou and Luanzhou were not related to the ceasing, but it was also a mistake in Shijingtang.
Therefore, Yelu Longqing, with the idea of luck, gave up the fourteen states of Yanyun tacitly, but did not give up Jingzhou, Pingzhou, Yingzhou and Luanzhou. Didn’t you compete for the fourteen states of Yanyun in the Song Dynasty? I gave it to you, what else do you want?
The Liao Kingdom intended to give in, and the Song Dynasty took over the big storm, but the Song army stopped automatically when they arrived in Jingzhou. However, the Song Dynasty did something that Yelu Longqing was very worried. In addition to taking over the fourteen prefectures of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty also intends to take over Yunneizhou, the central and southern Fengzhou, and Dezhou and Dongshengzhou. The Song emperor issued an edict to change Dezhou to Xuandezhou, Yunzhou to Jiuyuan, and Fengzhou to Yunzhong.
This reminded him of the ancient map of the Qin Dynasty.
The ancient trunk line of the ancient Great Wall is the northern boundary of the fourteen prefectures of Yanyun today. There are also some inner Great Walls, such as the ancient Great Wall in Shuozhou area and the ancient Great Wall in Taihang Mountain area. Some were built during the Warring States Period, and some were expanded by the Qin Dynasty. However, since the Warring States Period, there is also an forgotten ancient Great Wall. That is the Northern Zhao Great Wall and the Yan Great Wall. The Northern Zhao Great Wall covers the entire Yinshan area. It is built north of Yinshan, covering all Yinshan Mountains together. It also gave several nice names in these areas north of Yunshuo. The westernmost is Xi'anyang, and to the east are Jiuyuan, Yuanyang, Yunzhong, Yuanyang, Wuquan, etc. This is the Yunzhong area that the Song Dynasty has taken over.
Another Great Wall is even more disgusting, that is, the Yan Great Wall, which connects the North Zhao Great Wall, winds northeastward, covering the entire Luan River basin, the middle and lower reaches of the Liao River, passes through the Yalu River, and stops until it approaches Goryeo Pyongyang, including the entire Central Beijing area of Liao Kingdom, as well as Tokyo in Liaodong, Shenzhou and Liaodong Peninsula, and the northernmost to Tongzhou occupied by Wu Xuanming.
The Great Wall was rebuilt in the Qin Dynasty, and Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Liaoxi County and Liaodong County were established. Then Liu Bang was humiliated by the Huns, and this ancient Great Wall was gradually destroyed by the Huns and was not rebuilt since then.
Could it be that the Song Dynasty had such a big appetite, and that it would not count on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but it would also have to restore the northern territory of the Qin Dynasty?
Did the Song Dynasty have a big appetite? Yelu Longqing could not judge.
This tragic ghost is very sad in history, but at this time he may still be sad.
The Song army stopped temporarily.
First, we built Tianjin Port and established the Maritime Department.
There is a bad place at the point where the Jima River enters the sea, that is, the water and soil in Hebei gradually deteriorate at this time. Therefore, there is a lot of silt at the entrance of the sea, which makes it extremely inconvenient for large sea boats to sail. But there is also a favorable place. To build a port here, you can connect to Hebei from various rivers, and you can communicate with many areas of Youzhou through rivers such as Sanggan River. If the finances are available, the Yongqu of the Sui Dynasty will be completed again. Then Youzhou can be connected to Jiangnan again.
There are harbors and some maritime departments, and the economy here will soon prosper.
However, this proposal was still opposed by many ministers. It was too close to the Hu people, and the people of Youzhou were still obsessed with the benefits of Wu Liao.
Song Jiu sneered: "Do you still want the Liao Kingdom to exist?"
"Are you still cowardly in such a great victory?"
A cowardly big hat tucked down, silently.
As spring blossomed, a large amount of supplies were transported from sea ships from all over the country. The Song Dynasty began to rebuild Youzhou City.
Zhao Heng was busy meeting the elders and comforting the people.
It was a show, and the emperor personally did it. At the same time, it clarified the tax policy of the Song Dynasty. Compared with the tax of the Liao Kingdom, it depends on what it is. The tax is almost heavy. Even the Song Dynasty was heavier. However, the tax distribution in the Song Dynasty was relatively even. The Liao Kingdom was still influenced by the Tang Dynasty. The taxes of the nobles and tyrants were very low, and even without taxes, which made the most miserable civilians.
Yelu Longqing withdrew many noble officials, which instead brought convenience to the reconstruction of the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, the Yanyun area was still a tribe system of the Tang Dynasty. As these powerful people escaped, they were exempted from the tribe system.
Some discrimination laws were also abolished, education was promoted, and even issued edicts. The entire Yanyun area would be exempted from two taxes for three years. The relevant laws should be implemented as appropriate, and the benefit of the people should be the first, and then the edict would abolish all corvee. If the government employs workers, it must be employed, and the amount of money and days hired are regulated. It is still necessary to prevent bad things from happening to officials, so the number of days is limited. After three years, two taxes are exempted, only half of the two taxes will be paid for three years.
In order to allow the people to rest and rest, only commercial tax was not exempted. However, the Liao Kingdom also imposed commercial taxes, and the tax rate was higher than that of the Song Dynasty. Those who did not pay commercial taxes were those powerful people, which had nothing to do with these small and medium-sized merchants who did not escape.
The policies in Yunzhong are different.
The Hu people are mainly from here, mostly from Dangxiang, Qiang, Tuyuhun, Tubo people, and a small number of Khitans have withdrawn. Some of them are also from Han people.
It is unrealistic to impose two taxes here, so it is still the tax policy of Nanhetao. The court mainly uses semi-detentions, set up officials and soldiers, but only commercial taxes are imposed. Ethnic affairs are handled internally. Officials try to mediate and try not to interfere with their internal affairs.
But one more thing is to reward and divide territory.
There were governors, governors, and county magistrates, all were vacant officials who didn't want money. They were all granted more than 400 people, and even a small tribe leader with about 100 households could be a county magistrate. They were all leaders, and the court used the excuse of fearing that they would have conflicts and sent officers and soldiers to help them divide the territory of various places. On the surface, the Song Dynasty did impeccable things, and the tribes here were not united and there were too many revenge. In fact, by one pass, the entire Yunzhong area became more than 400 small forces. The largest governor was only 2,000 households.
As long as the court does not leak a child, it will not be harmful.
This is a danger of punishing the Han and Tang Dynasties, especially the Tang Dynasty. They learned Zhuge Liang's policies and liked to support agents. An agent often had the right to govern a large area. As a result, Nanzhao grew, Khitan grew, and Tubo grew... Now the Song Dynasty has done the opposite.
This may cause a headache for officials, but there will be no such thing as a hero building a country. But in general, the wool trade routes before made these people better than Yanyun. At least they were closer to the Song Dynasty than the current Han people.
After being under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, the taxation was not less than that of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty only collected commercial taxes, and the Liao Dynasty mostly collected commercial taxes. However, some miscellaneous taxes and military service could not be avoided, and they were discriminated against, but they were no longer under the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, in addition to disputes arising from the division of territory, most tribes cheered when they heard the arrival of the Song army.
Then two officials were appointed. Wang Yu, who performed well in Hebei, served as the governor of Bingzhou, and Zhao Yanwo was the governor of Youzhou. These two officials were both civil and military, and all were the best candidates. Veteran Pei Ji was also appointed as the governor of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan, Xuande, Dongsheng and Yunzhou.
Before Zhao Heng's actions in Youzhou were over, he allocated a lot of money and mercenaries to plant drought-resistant trees outside Yanshan Mountain in Yinshan, mixed with various dense shrubs. He also sent people to find many coal mines, start burning bricks, and simply renovating the ancient Great Wall. As for the Great Wall in Yinshan, there was no foundation at all. At least there was no financial resources to renovate the Great Wall, but many levels were repaired.
It will cost a lot of money, but the Central Plains is equivalent to having three barriers. The first is Yinshan, the second is the ancient Great Wall, and the third is the line from Jumahe to Yanmen Pass.
Finally, Zhao Heng obeyed Wang Qinruo's intentions and changed Youzhou to Jingde City, treating it as Beijing of the Song Dynasty in order to govern and stabilize Yanyun.
Song Jiu used the reign of the army and Wang Qinruo used the reign of the city, which made Kou Zhun almost rebel against Wang Qinruo on the spot.
However, Song Jiu did not agree or not, and actually expressed his agreement. Wang Qinruo must have wanted to flatter him, and could be named the city name and then Beijing, which was a sign of respect from the court, and Zhao Heng and the officials would also pay attention to it in the future. Before the people of Yanyun completely returned to their hearts and before the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, there were still many variables, especially the people in the north of Yanyun.
March is coming, and the entire Yanyun is under construction.
As various favorable policies are implemented, the people are gradually calm.
In any case, although it is difficult for people to feel national pride now, the actual policies are more merciful than the Liao Kingdom.
Yelu Longqing tentatively sent an envoy to come.
Let us reconcile, our country will hand over Yanyun and even all the clouds to your country.
Song Jiu asked: "If you don't return it to my court, do you still want to take it back?"
The messenger was speechless.
Song Jiu said: "There are only two things to make peace, one is to surrender, and the other is to return Pingzhou to our country."
