Chapter 720: The five-character scroll sword roars to

Chapter 720 The Five-Scroll Sword Roars to the West Wind. What a blessing!

 Netu was convinced by Daishan's words.

Indeed, the Jurchen tribes had never asked for help from Liaodong Town when they were attacked and oppressed by the Jianzhou Jurchens in the past, but Li Chengliang ignored them.

Later, Li Chengliang could not suppress these tribes from coming to the capital city to complain, but as long as the Jianzhou Jurchens showed toughness and bravery, Liaodong Town would soften.

All Liaodong Town can do is to intervene verbally, and Jianzhou Jurchens only need to make some concessions to achieve their goal.

But now the situation has suddenly changed. Governor Ji Liao not only wants to intervene in the affairs between the Mongols and the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou, but also directly intervenes in the Jurchen tribes in Haixi, and even provides fire guns, weapons that Zhou Dynasty strictly prohibits from entering the Jurchen tribes. It was unthinkable before.

This huge change is definitely not as simple as changing the governor of Ji Liao in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a major adjustment of the entire strategy in Liaodong, which must be paid attention to.

 Daishan is right, something is definitely wrong here.

 The relationship between Dazhou and the Jianzhou Jurchens before the 30th year of Yuanxi can be regarded as one stage, and after the 30th year of Yuanxi to the present can be regarded as one stage.

Thirty years ago in Yuanxi, the Jianzhou Jurchens still had a humble attitude in front of the Zhou Dynasty. They mainly focused on seeking practical benefits and had a low attitude. From the 30th year of Yuanxi to the present, the attitude of the Jianzhou Jurchens has been changing. Mainly There are some purposes that can no longer be concealed.

For example, the unification of the entire five Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou made the Great Zhou a little unhappy, but it was only dissatisfied. There were some restrictions on the Jurchens in Jianzhou, but when the Great Khan imposed restrictions on the Huifa and Hada tribes of the Haixi Jurchens, When he raised his sword and gun, Da Zhou realized that Jianzhou Jurchen had become a fierce tiger that was difficult to control.

 At that time, Li Chengliang cherished feathers and was unwilling to lose his lifelong fame in Liaodong for the Jianzhou Jurchens, so he allowed the Jianzhou Jurchens to survive the most dangerous stage in the past twenty years and truly grow up.

Although the Jianzhou Jurchens have grown up, it is not enough. It still needs time. If the Haixi Jurchens and the East China Sea Jurchens are not resolved and unified, the Jurchens will never be able to compete with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

I originally thought that this state could be maintained for a few more years. Once the Ula tribe and the East China Sea Jurchens were captured, and the Horqin tribe joined in the west, even if the Ye He tribe completely fell to the Zhou Dynasty, it would not matter the overall situation, but now this The key strategy was interrupted.

“Second Master, what should we do now?”

"First find out the details of Feng Tang, everything about him, including his wife, children, children and people he has close contact with. In addition, we need to find out why he was so bold to send fire blunderbuss to the Mongols and the Ye He tribe, and find some people to spread the news to the capital. The Procuratorate, and also spread some news around the city. You know the specifics..."

 Daishan tugged on his clothes a little anxiously, stood up, exposed his hairy chest, and had a look of impatience on his face.

"The Great Khan is very angry about this matter. Netu, you should know how much trouble it will bring to us if the Ula tribe breathes. Buzhantai already hates us to the bone. There is no more between us and the Ula tribe. There is room for reconciliation, we must completely solve the Ula tribe,..."

Of course Netu knew this. Having reached this point, everyone understood that this was a war to annihilate the clan. The precedents of the Huifa Tribe and the Hada Tribe were there before. No one could get a good end. In this situation, the only option was to fight to the death. war.

"Have the Yehe tribe and the Horqin people come up with a solution?" Netu hesitated, "That's all the Yehe tribe. There are Buyangu and Busia Mara fanning the flames among them. It's impossible to fight with them. We have made peace, but as for the Horqin people, didn’t the Great Khan say that he was willing to make peace with them? We should step up the process. As long as they can make a move, the Yehe tribe cannot act rashly!"

"But the direction of the Horqin people has changed. Lindan Batur was bought by the Great Zhou. The Horqin people still dare not go against the will of the Chahar people, let alone the Great Zhou openly threatened the Horqin people. This is the first of its kind. This time, there were also differences within the Horqin people. At this time..."

Daishan threw his hat on the kang table with hatred.

"In addition to figuring out Da Zhou's confidence in the changes, I'm afraid we also have to find some things that will make Da Zhou busy." Dai Shan said gloomily: "I remember Netu you said last year that there was a time in the southwest. Someone came to the door?"

There is an open business station for Jianzhou Jurchens outside the Fourth Translation Hall. In fact, it is the contact point for Jianzhou Jurchens in Beijing, but most of them come to discuss business and make a living. However, the southwest is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, so naturally it cannot be anything. Business.

"Well, if you don't say anything, Second Master, I have to mention this matter." After getting angry and frustrated, Netu began to think more flexibly, "He is the Southwest Chieftain. I have learned about it, because Long Jinwei is very strict, so At that time, we only had a brief contact without any in-depth discussions. Later, we looked for opportunities to have two more contacts. They were very cautious and unwilling to express their attitude. They just wanted to maintain contact with us."

"Then what is the purpose of these southwestern chieftains coming to us?" Dai Shan was not very clear about the conflicts between chieftains and officials in the southwestern region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he could also imagine that they must be dissatisfied with the great Zhou court. As long as a group of people can be used by oneself, it won't be a problem.

"The second master doesn't know that these southwestern chieftains are somewhat similar to the earliest Wuliangha Sanwei. On the surface, they were canonized by the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in fact they were in a semi-independent state. However, they were surrounded by the official jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Well, it was under the jurisdiction of the local officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They bullied the local officials too much, so they were very dissatisfied. In addition, it was said that the Great Zhou court had always been willing to change the local officials and return them to the local people. This made them, the chieftains, very nervous and panicked. I guess This is the reason why they want to look for Austrian aid from outside."

Daishan's attitude became serious, "Then how powerful are these chieftains? They are in the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can they dare to compete with the Great Zhou court?"

Netu has lived in the Zhou Dynasty for decades, and has long been dealing with officials at all levels in the capital city, so he is no stranger to the dispute between the southwestern lands.

"Second Master, the southwest is said to be the hinterland, but in fact Zhou Dynasty's control there is not strong. Well, it is probably not as good as Gansu Town and Ningxia Town in the northwest. Moreover, the terrain there is dominated by mountains, and the mountains are high. Lin Mi, the Zhou army will not be of much use there, and this is where they rely on." Netu explained: "And once a rebellion breaks out there, it will directly affect the two areas of the Zhou Dynasty, Huguang and Sichuan. It’s a grain-producing area, so Dazhou doesn’t dare to talk about war lightly.”

When Daishan heard this, he became more interested and clapped his hands fiercely: "In that case, Netu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find a way to contact them. No matter what thoughts they have, as long as there is a possibility, we have to go Give it a try, even if it doesn’t work, we have to find a way to make it real. Maybe it was fake at first, but it will become real later.”

Netu nodded, "Since Dazhou can cause trouble for us behind our backs, we will naturally not hold back any courtesy. Also, does Second Master know about some underground sects spread among the people in the northern part of Dazhou, the White Lotus Sect, and Ertu? Have you ever heard of it?"

"White Lotus Sect? Is it the same as the Immortality Heaven of our Shaman Mongolians?" Daishan raised his head in confusion.

Netu shook his head, "The White Lotus religion that these Han people believe in is not allowed by the government, but it is very prosperous among the people. The imperial court and local officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty have repeatedly investigated and it is very taboo. These believers of the White Lotus religion are very devout. There were frequent conflicts with the local officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were very prosperous in Liaodong, near Shuntian Prefecture, and in Shanxi and Shandong. Moreover, in the Bansheng area now controlled by the Tumuts, there were a large number of Han people who believed in the White Lotus Sect. The Great Zhou court had always Tried to ban it, but couldn’t do anything…”

"Netu, you mean this group of people can also be used by us? Is it useful?" Daishan didn't believe in these ragtag groups of civilians. When faced with the regular army, it would be like a storm.

"Second Master, isn't there a saying among the Han people? If there are dates but no dates, you can hit a pole. If it can be used, of course it is a good thing. If it is not used, it will have no impact on us." Netu smiled and said, "Now I think that as long as it can cause trouble for Dazhou, we can find ways to do it. For example, with North Korea and the Japanese, I might as well report it to the Great Khan after he returns. Find a way, especially North Korea."

"Netu, your stay in the capital city was not in vain. There are some things that we would never have thought of in Hetuala." Daishan couldn't help but patted Netu's shoulder and said with emotion, "Father Khan will remember It’s all thanks to you, now let us first figure out what happened to these people in Dazhou and what they want to do.”

 The weather gradually cooled down.

With the autumn of Qiu Wei, Jia Huan finally got his wish and went to Qingtan Academy.

 Jia Zheng was very grateful.

 In any case, as a concubine, if Jia Huan could read a book, he would be able to take another path, and he would not have to worry about Baoyu.

However, this also irritated Jia Baoyu. According to Jin Chuan'er's return, Xiren told her that Baoyu had been at home during this period, writing something every day, either burning it all over again, or reciting words, which made everyone panic. , it seems that Baoyu is really planning to move towards the path of becoming a literary great.

 Feng Ziying doesn’t care too much either.

Wang Wenyan and Cao Yu also made rapid progress in planning to run the newspaper. For example, they spent eight thousand taels of silver to buy a printing workshop as the basis for running the newspaper in the future. They also found another courtyard and have already relied on it. I went over to Xibianmen, next to Anren Grassland, and the rent was much cheaper.

It doesn't matter whether there are legendary stories and novels about Baoyu. The capital city has never been short of such talents, and gossip and business information are the most important. There are already several scholars who intend to become famous before Spring Wei. Come and have a go and have a poem or two published in a future issue of News Today, for a fee of course.

Many people are already aware of this matter, but they all have a skeptical attitude. More people still don't want to believe that anyone would buy such a sensational and vulgar tabloid.

 If no one buys it, just printing and selling it will cost a lot of money. Many people want to know how long this can last.

 There is no proof that this is related to Xiao Feng Xiuzhan, but well-informed people will naturally know the relationship between Xiao Feng Xiuzhan and this "Today's News".

Feng Ziying became more and more calm. These people will eventually pay the price for their short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness. Well, no one can imagine how terrifying the attraction and spread of this thing is. Once Pandora's box is opened, no one can close it. Come on.

Feng Ziying is just preparing for her upcoming marriage in an orderly manner. Well, by the way, she is enjoying the taste of love in this era. Of course, there are more than just one.

 So happy!
