The current capital of the Jin people is still in Huining Prefecture in the north, which is the Acheng District of the Bing City of Hei Province in later generations. It is really far away from Youyan. Judging from the current national situation of the Jurchens, it is very remote.

This place is also extremely bitter and cold. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it also belonged to the Little Ice Age. The snow fell in Lingnan and Dongting Lake was frozen, and even if it was not as good as the late Ming Dynasty, it would not be much inferior. Now in August, when the osmanthus flowers in the south of the Yangtze River are still fragrant, Huining City is already biting cold and snowflakes are flying.

But no matter how remote and cold the place is, it takes more than half a year, which is enough for them to call Bianliang back and forth.

Wu Qimai on the throne looked ugly, and the left and right sides were slanted, and the important officials of Jin were also gloomy. The reason was that Zhao Huan from Bianliang was not at all. Zhao Gou would attack the Jin people first for a certain righteousness. Therefore, he let the mother of Salu, Gao Qingyi and others who secretly went to Bianliang to get rid of their mouths. Zhao Huan nodded and attacked Zhao Gou from the north and south with the Jurchens!

"Without the help of the Zhao family, only Dang Xiang is available. Li Ganshun is a cunning person. If he did not deliver the former northwest Liaoning land that he had promised to him, it would be difficult to persuade him." Wu Qimai said in a deep voice.

Four years ago (1123), the Jin people sent envoys to Xia and proposed to Li Ganshun: If Emperor Tianzuo fled to Xia, he should be captured and sent to Jin; if Xia could serve the Jin rituals of Liao, Jin allowed the area in the northwest of Liao to be ceded to Xia. Seeing that the demise of the Khitan had become a foregone conclusion, Li Ganshun agreed to Jin's conditions in order to preserve the separatist status of Xia.

In March of the following year, Li Ganshun vowed to the Jin Dynasty to express his dependence on Jin. Then he cleanly killed all his wife (Yelu Nanxian) and children (Crown Prince Li Renai). Then Dangxiang and his troops entered the northwestern Liao and occupied Tiande, Yunnei, Wuzhou and other prefectures. But the good times did not last long. Soon Jin Wushu sent troops to occupy Tiande, Yunnei and other prefectures. Li Ganshun was so angry that the Jin people were untrustworthy.

Bilateral exchanges have come to a standstill.

Now the Jin people want to persuade Li Ganshun and spit out Tiande and Yun Nei who were eating into their mouths. That is inevitable.

"Some states and cities are not worth mentioning. As long as you can decide the Lord of Xia, you will have great strength left when fighting in the future." O Li cannot speak up for support.

The same thing about Nianhan means, "The Lord of Xia is cunning, but he is also a smart person. You should know that today's Xia Jin has become a friendship between lips and teeth, and his lips are dead and cold, and his teeth are closely related." If the Jin Kingdom is not good, can Xixia be good?

After making such a decision, only the brothers Wu Qimai and Wanyan Xieye were left in the hall, and their faces were always embarrassed.

"The Nanman holds the thunder in his hands, which cannot be resisted by flesh and blood. My great gold warrior is good at fighting, and he can only get rid of ashes under the flames and fire. The most urgent thing now is to get the formula of the medicine powder."

Wu Qimai was the Prime Minister of the Jurchens when he started his career. Although his military achievements were few, as the steward in the rear, he could ask Aguda to send troops to conquer the troops without any worries, which was Xiao He's contribution. The Jurchens official system, etiquette, and taxes were all from the hands of people.

In history, Wu Qimai banned all officials from servitude for the people and forbidden the poor to be slaves. He implemented the imperial examination system and hired Han people as officials. He established various rules and regulations, and during the Ming Dynasty, it could be said that it laid a model for the establishment of the Jin people.

This is by no means an ignorant and rude person.

I saw at a glance the key to the current problem - the powder formula.

The catapult cart is not a rare thing. The counterweight catapult cart in King Yan's hand, the golden man had already successfully imitated it with Yan Yun's craftsman. The real thing of the sky-shaking thunder was in hand. It was easy to figure out what was going on, but the difficulty was the formula of the medicine powder.

The Liao people also had medicine powder. After the Jurchens destroyed the Liao Dynasty, everything the Liao people had fell into the hands of the Jurchens. They didn’t know what the black medicine powder was.

But there is a huge difference between this medicine powder and the medicine powder.

Zhao Gou protected the information of secondary purification of raw materials without leaking. Outside, Bianliang, Jurchens, and even the people of Xixia only focused on the ratio of raw materials, and ignored the purity of raw materials. The so-called convenience of matching was really leaked, and the losses caused were negligible.

Therefore, the Damocles sword hanging above his head, which was hanged above his head, seemed to be Zhao Gou's amulet in a short time.

Whether it is the Jurchens, Bianliang, or even Dangxiang and Zhao Gou's three-faced enemies, as long as they don't get the thunder that satisfies them for a day, these people will not be able to compete with the Yan King's Army head-on.

As for finding a way to erase the advantages of the thunder, it is even more impossible.

The stone cannon + thunder are the same as the range reduction version and the power amplified version of the cannon, or the cannon that opens the flower bullet. How did people deal with it after the cannon was invented in history? Have they resisted the power of the cannon?

Besides, don't forget that the thunders that Zhao Gou used was all ten kilograms. If necessary, the thunders that weighed ten kilograms would turn into fifty or sixty kilograms of shocking thunders that weighed fifty or sixty kilograms would be just a matter of one sentence. But the difference in power between the two is a world of difference.

In this era, it is Zhao Gou who holds the thunder in his hand, which is equivalent to invincibility!

It is equivalent to mastering force beyond the times!

When two forces go to war, the army on one side cannot compete with the other on the frontal battlefield. So what will the direction of the war be? Just look at the eight years of war in history!

So, Wu Qimai really has a headache for Zhao Gou.

The problem of frontal fighting was not solved. The elite Jurchen cavalry was dispatched to attack and destroy several cities of Zhao Gou? Even after the Southern Barbarians had thunder, the Jin soldiers even attacked and destroyed the cities became a luxury.

All they could do was to mess up the vast rural towns that were lacking in guarding power, and add countless refugees to Zhao Gou.

This was a very toothache for Zhao Gou, but in Wu Qimai, Wanyan Xie, and even Nianhan, Wu Li Bu and others, it was a cowardly approach.

This approach does not conform to their style from the inside out.

They who destroyed the powerful Khitan in ten years believed in the crushing collision from the bottom of their hearts. In the face-to-face contest, they defeated each enemy without any suspense.

If you are fighting back now, it is really too inconsistent to the senior Jurchen officials.

However, if the situation is not as good as that of others, there is nothing to do.

That is why they unanimously agreed to pull Li Qianshun into their own camp by giving up their interests.

From the moment they withdrew from the Central Plains last year, it has been several months since they got the recipe for the thunder powder. As winter hits, or as time goes by, the senior Jurchen officials are about to give up.

"I can't help but helpless."

Wanyan Xie also said a little discouragedly. They have thought about all the methods in the past few months. I believe that Zhao Huan will use more methods, but this is how things are so desperate.

With Aguda, he developed Wanyan's tribe from one of the many Jurchen tribes to the present level, so he was naturally not a person who would be discouraged easily. However, Zhao Gou kept the secret too meticulously, and the Jurchen elite really couldn't stop the thunder, so he could only helplessly.

Watching Zhao Gou gradually consolidate his foundation, and control all Hebei and Hedong in his hands little by little. He also watched the war gradually approaching and the threat grew stronger...

This taste is really uncomfortable, but he is also helpless.

...

There is no mercy in the war between countries. Any advantage will be transformed into benefits by using everything.

Not to mention the time when two countries are strong and the other is weak.

Look at how miserable China was in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China in history, and the early Song and Jin Wars in history, the emperor was captured, all officials were humiliated, and the imperial concubines and princesses were crushed into mud. It was all the same miserable.

However, once the situation repeated, when Zhao Gou held a killing weapon in his hand and caused the Jin people to be frustrated several times, when the Jin people found that he racked his brains and could not think of a way to crack the sky-shaking thunder, the Jin people's military attack immediately shrank.

If Zhao Gou was willing to sign a contract with the Jurchens at this time and turned around to attack Bianliang, he would be afraid that the Jurchens would send troops to help free of charge, and Wu Qimai and others would beg for it.
