Views:

After all, since the founding of the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchens have fought the Song state several times. Although the Song state has always been weak for a long time, it has also had a brilliant record when the four iron armies were just unearthed.

Therefore, the Jurchens are no strangers to the occasional covenant between the Song Army under such a disadvantage, and most of them are just like those of Xin Qiji, and they pay more attention to the national territory and even some fame and festival disputes. For the wealth, the silk and the silver. Food, ordnance, war horses, but most of them don’t care at all. This is very different from the original Jurchen army, which had no logistical support, and all plundered on the spot. , There is no plan even to fight for it again.

On the one hand, this is because the emperor official of the Song Dynasty only thought about peace and peace, and blindly seeking peace; on the other hand, it was also because the ministers of the Song Dynasty who were in charge of the court, even if they moved south in the Song Dynasty, have already retired. In the southern half of the wall, it is especially self-reliant that the Central Plains go to the country, the intersecting of the two countries, the territories of the country, and the etiquette of each other are important matters, but the children’s wealth is not a matter of importance. Therefore, the envoys of the South can often be used for the gold What kind of etiquette and unhesitating struggle to meet with the Envoy of Song, day and night, as for those Jurchen soldiers, the warhorse ordnance that should be collected in the eyes of the Jurchens, it is because of the dignity of the big country, and Not surprised anymore.

Just like the "Qiyuan alliance" between the Song State and the Liao State in the past, the Song Dynasty sought peace by victory, but the focus of the dispute when it concluded the peace treaty was more about whether the Liao State should regard the Song Dynasty as its brother, and as for the Song Dynasty. On the basis of the great victory just now, it is necessary to pay a lot of Jinbo Finance and Liaobang every year, but it feels that it is insignificant. The Song Dynasty has gained its fame, and the Liao Kingdom has the full benefit. The Song Dynasty monarchs, on the contrary, feel that These are things that are taken for granted. After all, the heavenly dynasty goes up to the country, the people are rich, the people are rich, and the gift of wealth is just a matter of part.

Except that the Jurchen cavalry had just captured the Song Dynasty Bianjing and taken away the two emperors, the emperor of the southern kingdom and the king of Kang at that time had not claimed the emperor to stand on his own, in the impression of Wanyan Yong, regardless of whether Daijin or Song Dynasty In how bad the situation was, the peace treaty was concluded, but he has never seen an example of the Song Dynasty plundering military supplies such as the Jurchen weapons and horses for his own use.

But when it was, the habits of the Jurchens remained unchanged. They first walked on the land of the Han, burned, killed, and looted along the road, and flowed into rivers of blood. Therefore, all the Han people in the original Song kingdom in the north, all gritted their teeth and hated them, and the first group to fight against the Jurchens However, most of them were originally under the oppression of some corrupt officials in the original Song Dynasty, and the officials forced the people to rebel. According to the mountain kings who have food and horses, and even Yue Fei and Liu Qi, the four iron armies established themselves. At that time, many houses gathered these heroes from all over the world. At that time, the world was in turmoil, the artifacts of Bianjing were broken, and the current emperor official was chased along the road, fleeing in a hurry, and communication was difficult. Even more, there was no possibility of supplying front-line military supplies. At the time, these four iron armies were actually no different from Liukousi. After defeating the Jurchens, they naturally refused to let go of all military supplies. Even Yue Fei's group of horsemen, the largest horse army since the founding of the Song Dynasty, composed of Liu Zifang's training, was all composed of the Jurchen warhorses brought by robbery.

However, since the current Southern Kingdom emperor established the capital in the southern corner of the country and continued Song Zuo, the army of the Song clan has taken it back to the state for support. This has never happened before. There were several major battles under the command of civil servants. Even though they had the advantage in the situation, the terms of peace proposed by Song State had never been the case of plundering Jurchen's military supplies.

Wan Yan Yong thought of this, took a deep breath, calmed down the impulse in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Do you know, how many ordinary horses can a war horse be selected and trained from?! You know? I don’t know, it takes so many years of hard work to domesticate these horses? My Dajin lives deep in the bitter cold land of Mobei, not as prosperous and rich as your southern country. If you are going to go to such a number of horses, you don’t know how much you will starve to death. People! The emperor's official family in the southern country has not always been in the Central Plains and Shangguo, who is still a distant man, why is it so aggressive this time?!"

Xin Qiji laughed blankly: "If your country's intention is not to fight the world and rob the Quartet, but to protect the environment and the people, guard the earth and the earth, how many horses need to be tamed, the deputy commander knows himself. , I really look down on the military and horse artifacts of your Jurchen kingdom, but my emperor's official is worried about your Jurchen kingdom's master who only knows to open up the territory and does not repair the internal affairs, but does not know that the country is based on agriculture. This is the purpose of staying. Let down half of your ordnance war horses. If your Jurchen Kingdom can appreciate the painstaking efforts of my emperor’s official family, they will be used to tune these war horses, and the people from the North who made these ordnances will be released into the fields and plough the fields. This can also be manifested. My emperor official has the meaning of being gentle and distant, and his merit is boundless.

"What's more," Xin Qiji stared at Wan Yan Yong, his eyes suddenly became sharp: "The deputy commander might as well think about his conscience, make these weapons for you, tame these war horses, and in the end often starve to death, what is it? The Jurchen, or the Han Chinese who were taken captive by you in the North?!"

"You..." Wan Yan Yong was speechless for a while, panting heavily, and it took him a long time to recover his usual appearance. Looking at Xin Qiji, he slowly said: "The emperor of the Southern Kingdom is so pressing, is it true that he really wants to force this handsome to spare no expense. Take two shots and fight with you to kill the net and break the net?!"

A sneer appeared from the corner of Xin Qiji's mouth: "Deputy Commander Wanyan still said so at this moment, but he also underestimated Xin Mou Tingsha. If Deputy Commander Wanyan really didn't intend to negotiate, he could kill Xin Moudao. , Don’t be so pretentious, otherwise it will only make Xin despise the deputy commander."

Wan Yanyong was speechless for a while, took a deep breath, walked slowly to Xin Qiji, and said: "We Jurchens have won and can afford to lose. We have given up in this battle. You want some money. This handsome man has nothing to do with it. Objection, but it’s too difficult for the ordnance horses to go to the bottom half of the commander’s account."

From the words of Xin Qiji, he also understood that Xin Qiji had already fully understood his mind, so there was no more concealment when he spoke.

Xin Qiji shook his head and laughed: "The deputy commander seems to have remembered it incorrectly. The paper agreement of my emperor's official family is clearly given to the deputy commander, the hundreds of thousands of Jurchen's most elite cavalry. What is the difficulty of being strong?"
