Chapter one hundred and ninety-one

Shandong East Road Yidu Prefecture has been promoted to Qingzhou to Yidu Prefecture for more than 90 years since the pseudo-Qi emperor Liu Yu was promoted to Qingzhou to Yidu Prefecture. Now, under the governance of the General Manager of the Military Control and Mas of Jingdong Road, Wuyi Doctor, and Jingdong Road Zhongyi Army, the people of Yidu Prefecture, who suffered from war, have lived a peaceful life.

But if there were no numerous harsh taxes and increasingly heavy labor service, the people would be even more grateful to the General Manager Liu.

At this moment, in the Yidu Prefecture's general yamen, the scale is comparable to that of the Kaifeng Palace mansion, Liu Quangang received two urgent reports. One was sent from Dengzhou, saying that Dengzhou defense envoy recently heard that the Mongols in Liaodong were buying and renting sea boats in large numbers, as if they wanted to go out to sea to use troops.

And the one closest to Liaodong is Shandong.

At the same time, Peng Yibin, the governor of Enzhou, also sent an urgent letter, saying that he was surrendering to the Mongols, the military commander of the Hebei West Road Marshal Shi Tianni Ling, raised a large number of food and grass, and recruited a large number of civilians, as if he was going south to use troops.

Li Quan was not a grass-headed king who only knew how to stay in his own territory and did not know the great affairs of the world. His current status and status are also inseparable from the Mongols. If the Mongols had not attacked Shandong and Hebei, his Red Coat Army would not have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to raise an army and stolen Shandong prefectures and counties to establish themselves.

As for today's trend, it is in Mongolia rather than Jin, nor in Song. Although it is nominally affiliated with Song, the Song army was defeated a few years ago in the face of the weak Jin Dynasty, which has allowed them, the "righteous men" who affiliated with Song to see the truth that the Song Dynasty's military strength is vulnerable.

What's more, the State of Song only treated them, such northerners, with generous rewards and no sincerity. To this day, the soldiers of the northerners were not allowed to cross the Huai River. What was the reason for? It was not that they were afraid that these "righteous men" would threaten Zhao Song's country.

Therefore, Li Quan gradually changed from the original intention of protecting his family and returning to his home country when he was in the first place to accumulate strength and become a prince in the area.

Now that he learned about the unusual actions of the Mongols in Hebei and Liaodong, he suddenly felt that his land in Shandong was unstable. But what he couldn't understand was that the Mongols had obviously drawn a large number of troops to fight westward. Some time ago, he heard that the Mongols were going to fight on their own. Shi Tianni, who was originally aggressive in Hebei, was also much quieter. Why did he suddenly want to use troops to Shandong?

While he asked someone to find his staff, he went to the inner court.

At this moment, his wife Yang Miaozhen had just given birth to a legitimate son and named Tan. When she arrived at the room, Yang Miaozhen hugged her son and hummed a song. Looking at such a warm scene, Li Quan, who was decisive in killing, did not consciously feel a little warm.

Since the Mongolians went south and their parents and brothers were killed by riots, their family has disappeared. Now that they have successors, he secretly decided in his heart that they must win a family business for their children so that they will not have to worry about food and drink and enjoy all their wealth and glory.

"Yah, my husband, why are you here?" Yang Miaozhen asked the wet nurse to take Li Tan away and then prepare to get up.

Li Quan hurried to the edge of the bed, pressed Yang Miaozhen's movement and said, "You have made great contributions to giving birth to Tan'er, and you must raise your body well." Then he asked the wet nurse to carry the child over and look at her son's pink face, and she felt even more happy.

After teasing this for a while, when the wet nurse took the child and retreated, Yang Miaozhen showed a bit serious and said, "My husband, is it that something extraordinary happened?"

Generally, Li Quan will not come to the inner court during the day. Shandong is surrounded by strong neighbors. Li Quan is busy with official duties on weekdays, but he does not have much time to care about the love between children. He will like to discuss with himself unless something big happens.

Although the two of them were forced by the situation! But after getting along over the years, they were in love. Moreover, Li Quan did not regard Yang Miaozhen as a woman who only knew how to embroider the boudoir, and would discuss military and political matters with him.

Of course, this is also because many of the generals and soldiers under Li Quan were Yang Miaozhen. So whether it is to strengthen people's hearts or family harmony, Li Quan must treat Yang Miaozhen well.

"Marrying a wife is like you, what else can you ask for?" Li Quan was guessed by Yang Miaozhen, and intimately took her into his arms, and said, "There are news from Dengzhou and Enzhou that the Mongols are preparing troops and preparing horses, and they are going to use troops against us!"

"Shandong has been recuperating over the years and taxes are increasing day by day. Are the Mongols here to rob?" With the Mongols' plundering nature, only such reasons are more reasonable.

Li Quan sighed a little, "The situation is unclear! The Mongolians heard that they wanted to fight by themselves a while ago, and now they are going to use troops to fight us!"

"My husband, could you make a mistake?" Yang Miaozhen said: "It's not only our Dengzhou but also Zhongdu Prefecture that is across the sea from Liaodong!"

If the Mongolian Khanate and Eastern Mongolia really want to fight, then the prosperity of Zhongdu Prefecture will definitely become a must-see place for Eastern Mongolia.

When he came, Li Quan also thought of this possibility. However, the Eastern Mongolian and Mongolian Khanate were their own. Although he also sent spies to these two places, he received all the news from officials. Recently, he also heard that the Khanate and Eastern Mongolia sent envoys to each other, and their relationship seemed to have eased.

Even the Mongolian princesses went to Eastern Mongolia in person.

If you know what they are talking about, it is naturally the best. But those secret matters are not so simple to detect.

So Li Quan subconsciously felt that the Mongolians were targeting them in Shandong.

Yang Miaozhen knew the reason why the fight between gods and immortals affected the fish in the pond, and was also wary of being on guard. He advised: "Why would we go on a mission in the name of surrender and we could not find out some news. And if the Mongolians were really ready to use our troops, then wouldn't this surrender make them lose the reason for using troops? I believe that after the Shi family surrendered the Mongolians, as long as we pay taxes on time, there would be no disasters."

Yang Miaozhen could see clearly the general trend of the world. Although they have defected to Song State and become officials of Song State, the rabbit's tail cannot grow. In the past, the Mongols could sweep across Shandong. When their Khan returned to the west, the land of Shandong would not be able to be defended.

Instead of waiting for the Mongols to come and surrender, it is better to take the initiative to surrender now. In this way, their Li family can continue to be the "grass-headed king" in Shandong. In this way, their son Li Tan does not have to be accused of rebels who surrender to the Mongols.

"But if this matter is known by the State of Song, the annual military expenditure and reward will be gone! And the merchants in the south will be blocked by the people of Song!" Li Quan said with some concern.
