Chapter 292 The Expansive Begging Tribal Old Man!
Xiao Qi noticed that the situation was weird, and he had brought his wife and children out to play for a long time, so he sent someone to send Zhang Xiuyongjia, mother and son back to Lin'an City Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Qi didn't hide anything from Zhang Xiu, and told Zhang Xiu all his guesses about the current situation.
The princess of King Zhenbei, without a word, forcefully suppressed Yong Jia and Xiao Qin who were having fun, and led the two of them, along with a battalion of cavalry troops sent by Xiao Qi to protect them He Jiading quickly returned to Lin'an, the capital city.
For Zhang Xiu, who fought all the way with Xiao Qi in the most difficult period, he never doubts his man Xiao Qi's judgment every time, because he knows that his man has never missed it.
Yongjia also felt that Zhang Xiu suddenly became serious, which made Yongjia also aware of the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly comforted Xiao Qin who was not happy because he was having a good time and was taken home.
The second concubine knew that the eldest concubine Zhang Xiu usually dotes on herself and her son Xiao Qin.
However, if the two of them dared to make trouble when Zhang Xiu was dealing with important matters, they would definitely end up badly, and even if they were beaten, they would have to be grounded.
Immediately after returning to the capital, Zhang Xiu followed Xiao Qi's instructions and ordered the entire Zhenbei Palace to be on high alert. All servants canceled their vacations and arranged day and night shifts.
On weekdays, Yongjia was no longer allowed to manage the family business and check the accounts, but Zhang Xiu went in person, and when he went out, besides his servants, half of Xiao Qi's Zhaodaoying accompanied him.
This sudden change in the Zhenbei Palace naturally cannot be concealed from the eyes and ears of officials big and small in Lin'an, the capital.
Although Xiao Qi had sent a memorial to the imperial court a few days ago, in the memorial, he warned that the surrounding countries might be brewing some conspiracy, so that the emperor and all the ministers should be careful.
But these officials, including the emperor Zhao Shen, didn't take it seriously, because these years, the Changsheng camp of the Song Dynasty has always won every battle, and all the surrounding countries are afraid of the Song Dynasty, and they dare not even do things that are misunderstood by the Song Dynasty Come.
The situation in the surrounding countries that Xiao Qi mentioned was a bit weird, and the ministers thought it was normal. They were afraid that Da Song would attack them one day.
Therefore, they secretly mobilized their troops and stationed at a place a little far from the border with the Song Dynasty. It is normal to guard against a sudden attack by the Song Dynasty.
When they learned that the Zhenbei Palace in the capital had suddenly stepped up its guard, and when the two concubines came back with their son Xiao Qin, the Zhenbei King actually asked them to bring back a battalion of the most elite soldiers from the Zhaodao Battalion in the Song Dynasty!
Now the ministers couldn't sit still, and they all went to ministers with good relations in the same camp to discuss whether anything would really happen if King Zhenbei did this.
Zuo Prime Minister Yu Yunwen was different, he went directly to the Zhenbei Palace to see the princess Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu didn't hide anything from him either, and told Yu Yunwen directly that Xiao Qi, the king of the northern town of his hometown, judged that such strange situations occurred in the surrounding countries at the same time, so they must have colluded with something secretly.
Yu Yunwen just thought about it for a while, and he figured out why Xiao Qi, King of Zhenbei, was still so nervous when everyone didn't care.
Because the reason why the Changsheng Battalion of the Great Song Dynasty became the most powerful army in the world so quickly is entirely due to Zhenbei King Xiao Qi alone.
If the surrounding countries really intend to do something to the Great Song Dynasty, then they must attack King Zhenbei first, and King Zhenbei's family must also be the target of attack.
After thinking about this, Yu Yunwen got up and said goodbye, told Zhang Xiu not to relax the defense at home, and told Zhang Xiu that he would send the city defense army from the capital to strengthen the patrol around the palace to ensure the safety of the palace.
Zhang Xiu hurriedly expressed her thanks to Yu Yunwen. Zhang Xiu still respects Yu Yunwen, whom her man Xiao Qi admires very much.
The next morning, Yu Yunwen asked the emperor Zhao Shen to strengthen the defense of the capital and other important towns in the court hall. The other ministers also agreed with Zuoxiang's opinion.
Emperor Zhao Shen couldn't help sighing in his heart. The King of Zhenbei had clearly stated in the memorandum a few days ago that he should pay attention to the defense of the capital and all important towns in the Song Dynasty.
You guys still feel that King Zhenbei is too worried, saying that no one in the whole world dares to provoke Song easily.
It's good now, King Zhenbei can't help talking at all, he just sent someone to protect his family, you guys panicked, this King Zhenbei doesn't need to talk too much, every move is the weather vane of these guys.
Although he felt that Xiao Qi, King of Zhenbei, had such a great influence, the emperor felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and felt a little unhappy.
But thinking about the fact that King Zhenbei is a master's disciple, he doesn't care about kingship at all, and Xiao Qi is his son-in-law, Emperor Zhao Shen immediately stopped his vigilance against Xiao Qi, and no longer worried that Xiao Qi would replace him. His old Zhao family sat on the throne.
Not to mention the chain reaction caused by Xiao Qi's series of actions in Song Dynasty.
Let's say that after several months of hard work, the Mongolian Qiyan tribe that has quietly annexed half of Mongolia's forces.
Today's Qiyan tribe is not what it used to be. After half a year of trade with the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia, the current Qiyan tribe has sufficient food and grass, and has a strong army.
Although many other tribes were merged, in order to make these tribes completely return to their hearts, in addition to killing the dissatisfied members of the tribes, they also distributed various materials to the tribes willing to surrender.
This made many tribesmen from other tribes who were swinging left and right completely give up the idea of looking for an opportunity to leave, and really joined the Qiyan tribe.
In just half a year, the Qiyan tribe has become the largest tribe of the Mongols, and Temujin has also become the leader of the Qiyan tribe, second only to the elders of the tribe. It will not take long for Temujin, who holds a heavy army, to surpass The clan elders even became the Great Khan of Mongolia.
However, Temujin, who led more than [-] Mongolian soldiers, galloped all over Mongolia, and wanted to bring all the Mongolian ministries under his command. How could Temujin not have thought that his first step to unify Mongolia had not yet been completed? It caused a catastrophe for the whole Mongolia.
It turned out that the rapid growth of the Qiyan tribe swelled up the elders of the Qiyan tribe who had been cautious before, for fear that if they were not careful, they would lead to the extermination of the clan.
They felt that the whole of Mongolia would sooner or later become the possession of their Qiyan tribe. According to the current momentum of the Qiyan tribe's growth, in half a year or even sooner, the entire Mongolian land would belong to their Qiyan tribe.
This unexpected victory not only inflated the confidence of the elders, but also inflated the ambitions of these elders.
These clan elders have been gathering together these days to plot where to attack after the unification of Mongolia.
For these nomadic peoples, if I am strong, then the weak and weak around them have to obey me in everything, and if there are good ones, they must be used by me, otherwise I will kill you and snatch them!
All of these tribes were old enough, and none of them wanted to be the Great Khan of the Mongols themselves. The position of this Great Khan was Temujin, and this was something they had already agreed on.
Moreover, Temujin's prestige in the Qiyan tribe and the army cannot be erased by saying that they can erase it.
If they really do that, they will fall out with Temujin. At that time, the Qiyan tribe may split into two parts, and most of the young and strong will definitely leave with Temujin. By then, the elders themselves will be the ones who are unlucky.
What these tribe elders discussed was where their Qiyan tribe should attack to strengthen themselves after they became the masters of the whole Mongolia.
It is in the blood of the nomads to eat the weak and the strong, and this cannot be changed in any way.
As the Qiyan tribe grows stronger, the clan elders have transformed from little deer who fear every day to the kings of the jungle who are eyeing the surroundings with covetousness.
They patrol everywhere they can see, intending to annex any fertile land they see to strengthen themselves.
Now the elders of the tribe are worried about the surrounding area of Mongolia. To the east is the mighty Kingdom of Jin. Although Xixia is weak in the south, they are their allies just like the Kingdom of Jin.
And the north is a place of bitter cold, not to mention the west, the living conditions in Xiliao are not as good as Mongolia.
For these clan elders, swallowing Xixia is the best choice, but the current growth of their Mongolian clan is entirely due to trade with the Jin Kingdom and Xixia.
And when the Begging Yan Department was weak, the Xixia Kingdom also gave a lot of assistance to the Begging Yan Department just like the Jin Kingdom.
This caused a headache for the elders of the Qiyan tribe. Attacking Xixia would end up with the reputation of treachery and revenge. Don't fight, only attacking Xixia is the only way for them to get the most benefits at present.
The clan elders of the Qiyan tribe are not worried about getting a bad reputation of revenge. What they worry about is that if they really attack Xixia, not only the trade with Xixia will be cut off.
The Kingdom of Jin might cut off the trade route with itself because of this, and might even start a war with him for Xixia, because everyone had signed a covenant before.
Thinking of the covenant, the eyes of these clan elders lit up.
Yup!
We can't attack our allies, we can attack our allies' enemies!
Taking out the previously signed covenant and looking at the Song Dynasty that everyone in the covenant wanted to deal with, these clan elders finally found a target to attack.
And because this target is the enemy that everyone agrees on, when sending troops to attack them, the countries that signed the alliance can also ask the countries that signed the alliance to provide money and food for their side!
The elders of the Qiyan tribe felt that they had finally thought of a thing that could benefit both sides. The money and food for the troops were sent by the allies, and the land and money that their own troops robbed in the Song Dynasty were all their own.
Such a good thing must be done!
Several clan elders immediately wrote letters to the rulers of the Xixia Kingdom and the Kingdom of Jin, expressing in the letters that their Mongolian Qiyan tribe would unify Mongolia in the near future.
For the Great Song Kingdom, which everyone has formed an alliance to deal with, they will launch an army crusade, hoping that Xixia Kingdom and Jin Kingdom will provide financial and food support.
Li Xiaoren, Emperor Renzong of the Western Xia Dynasty, was shocked when he received this letter!
Hurry up and send a special envoy to secretly meet with the Emperor Wanyanyong of the Kingdom of Jin to discuss countermeasures, and tell Wanyanyong that the current Mongol Qiyan tribe has long coveted their Xixia Kingdom.
What if they enter Xixia in the name of borrowing the road, but what if the army enters Xixia instead of attacking Xixia?
Wan Yanyong had long been dissatisfied with the Mongolian Begging Yan Department, and scolded those ministers who proposed to form an alliance with Mongolia before in the court, scolding these people for raising a man-eating white-eyed wolf for Da Jin!
After getting help from the special envoy sent by Xixia Emperor Renzong Li Xiaoren, Wan Yanyong regretted even more that he had funded this white-eyed wolf tribe, and secretly hated himself for being obsessed with ghosts.
As a descendant of wild bannermen who nomads live in the bitter cold north, how could he not know that the nomads have always been the weak and the strong, and they will not be bound by any alliance at all, only conquer and submit.
But the matter has come to this point, the tiger problem has appeared, and it is being targeted by the tiger he raised.
This caused Wanyan Yong to smash teacups frequently in the Dajin Palace.
But after all, Wan Yanyong was one of the most capable emperors in Dajin, and it didn't take long for him to come up with an idea to kill someone with a knife.
He secretly found a few think tanks, conspired with them in the palace for a long time, and then Wanyan Yong replied a secret letter to the clan elders of the Qiyan tribe.
The general meaning of the letter is to thank the allies of the Qiyan Department for their righteousness, but before the Qiyan Department can attack the Song Dynasty, they must first get rid of Xiao Qi, the King of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Wan Yanyong told the elders of the Qiyan tribe that Da Song's army was nothing to worry about, they were only chased by our Da Jin and ran around.
The reason why the Song Dynasty's army is so powerful now is entirely because the Song Dynasty produced a supreme military genius. This man was Xiao Qi, the King of Zhenbei of the Song Dynasty.
This man is resourceful and good at using troops, and he is sure to win every battle. Now the Mongolian Qiyan tribe and us are allies, so I will tell you the truth without concealment. If you want to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, we will definitely pay for it. grain.
However, to be more on the safe side, I hope that your Ministry will send warriors to secretly kill the King Zhenbei of the Song Dynasty before sending troops to attack the Song Dynasty. As long as Xiao Qi, the king of Zhenbei, dies, the entire Great Song Dynasty will be in the pocket of your Ministry things!
In order to reassure the people of the Qiyan tribe, Wanyanyong also sent a secret envoy to bring a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to the elders of the Qiyan tribe.
The clan elders of the Qiyan tribe were overjoyed when they received Wanyanyong's secret letter, especially when they saw the goods that Wanyanyong gave them.
They believed in Wan Yanyong's words in the letter even more.
Although their begging department was weak before, they could still know some outside news.
They have also heard that Xiao Qi, King of the Northern Song Dynasty, is invincible in the world. Before, they had hoped that there would be such an invincible figure in their tribe.
Now there is Temujin in their clan, and they always win every battle!
In addition, although these elders of the Qiyan tribe knew some news about Xiao Qi, they didn't know anything about the changes in the current battle of the Great Song Changsheng Battalion.
After the Changsheng Camp was replaced with a new type of musket, it has hardly fought on this land.
The legends that the elders of the Qiyan tribe heard were all rumors that Xiao Qi led the Changsheng Battalion to use cold weapons mainly to fight against the golden soldiers to win.
For these elders of the Qiyan tribe, Xiao Qi is just a resourceful and powerful warrior. Although he leads the army and fights fiercely, if he sends out hundreds of warriors from the Qiyan tribe to attack, he will definitely take Xiao Qi's head!
Today is the [-]th anniversary of the September [-]th Incident, and everyone should not forget the national humiliation.May I, Huaxia, continue to strive for self-improvement!
