I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 334 Long face! The old coins were abolished, the new covenant was completed, and Su Liangfu made great achievements.
The next day, it was nearly noon.

Su Liang received a personal letter from Xixia Prime Minister Fu Zangpang.

The latter stated in the letter that Xixia's 70,000 elite troops were stationed at the southwestern border of Liao. As long as the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty went to full-scale war, Xixia was willing to fully assist the Song Dynasty in attacking Liao.

He also listed three conditions.

First, they hoped that the Song Dynasty would establish more foraging fields on the border of Xixia; second, they hoped that the Song Dynasty would purchase more green and white salt from Xixia; third, they hoped that the Song Dynasty would increase the supply of daily necessities such as grain, tea, and wine to Xixia.

This letter.

It vividly demonstrates the characteristics of the Xixia people in power: shameless and profit-seeking.

Wu Zangying Pang was only willing to side with the Song Dynasty after he knew that the Song Dynasty had captured the Liao coach Yelu Chongyuan alive.

The southwest of Liao Kingdom is vast and sparsely populated.

If the Xixia soldiers attacked Liao, they would definitely burn, kill, loot, and make a fortune while Song and Liao were at war.

Su Liang never wanted to form an alliance with this kind of ally who might stab you someday.

Considering the current situation, he could bear to pay three million yuan in three years to redeem Yelu Chongyuan.

Not only is it an income, but it is also a source of pride for the Liao Kingdom, giving them the confidence to stand tall and high.

"I suggest that Zhongshu issue a commendation document to thank Xixia for sending troops for reinforcements. This commendation document must be known to the Liao Kingdom. As for the actual reward, not a penny will be cheaper for them!"

They feel like tenant farmers paying rent to the landlord.

Yelvzong could really bear to write a letter of apology to Su Liang in person.

This half a million dollars.

Three days later, the Liao Palace.

Since the second year of Qingli.

"This means they can't eat meat and are covered in fishy meat! As soon as this commendation document comes out, the Liao people will definitely hate Xixia very much. Jingming, it's you who is the bad one!" Fu Bi said with a smile.

This sense of superiority and accomplishment made Yelvzong really enjoy it.

Then he asked Da Song to accept his love.

……

The Song Dynasty had to pay 200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 pieces of silk to Liao every year, which was equivalent to about 500,000 guan.

The Song Dynasty paid tribute every year.

"Haha... It's possible, it's possible!"

This is also an important reason why the Liao people feel that they have a higher status than the Song people.

After Fu Bi read the letter, he said with a look of disgust: "The Xixia people are duplicitous and always deceitful. This time they are taking advantage again. There is no need to pay attention to them!"

After Yelu Zongzhen saw the three requirements listed by the Song Dynasty, blue veins popped up on his forehead and his face was gloomy.

But the Song Dynasty wanted to abolish the Sui coins, which was really difficult for Yelu Zong to accept.

Su Liang smiled and shook his head.

Now, once the Sui coins are cancelled.

It was like the Song Dynasty trampled the Liao Kingdom under its feet.

Yelu Zong really didn't want to admit that the Song Dynasty was on the way up, while the Liao Kingdom had been on the way down.

He had a dark face and said nothing.

The Liao ministers also read Liu Liufu's autograph letters.

The above stated directly: There is no room for relaxation in these three demands. If they are not met, the Song and Liao dynasty will sever diplomatic relations at the least, or start an all-out war at the worst.

Officials of the clan and clan of Liao Kingdom.

Although his education is not high, he knows the current situation of Liao Kingdom best.

If Song and Liao go to war.

The imperial court will definitely search for their money.

In the face of profit and loss, face is worthless in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, we must not go into full-scale war with Song Dynasty right now! We can't afford it. In addition to civil strife, we also have to be careful of those despicable party members!"

"Your Majesty, it is entirely the fault of the Nine Kings that this matter has developed to this extent. We cannot let this matter get worse. Let us wait for two or three years. When we regain our strength, we will definitely be able to destroy the Song Dynasty in the future. , get back all the current losses!" "Your Majesty, a little impatience will mess up a big plan. Now the Southern Dynasty is at its peak and its momentum is at its peak. We can no longer have a head-on conflict with it!"

……

A group of Liao ministers were admonishing Yelu Zong to really agree to Song's three requests. They seemed to be doing it for the Liao court, but in fact they were completely doing it for their own personal interests.

Just when Yelu Zong was really entangled.

A post soldier ran over from outside and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border that another Jurchen tribe has rebelled!"

Yelvzong was really shocked.

He immediately opened the military newspaper and read it.

More than a thousand Jurchen tribesmen from Huanglong Mansion went to the government office to steal supplies, food and weapons. They cut off the heads of two chief officials of the government office and hung them on the city gate tower. They were very arrogant.

Yelvzong really had a headache.

Compared with the Song people, he was more afraid of these Jurchens.

The Jurchen people live in deep mountains and dense forests, and most of them make a living by fishing and hunting.

Due to the severe cold climate, brown bears and tigers are often found where they live, making the Jurchens very ferocious and physically strong.

Some Jurchen women kill people just like chopping melons and vegetables, and even eleven or twelve-year-old Jurchen children dare to kick people in the head and play with them.

These people are like savages, unreasonable and unruly. Once famine occurs, they are more terrifying than wolves.

And summer is the peak season for them to cause trouble.

Various looting incidents continued to occur.

Yelu Zongzhen roared: "Suppress! Send a large army to suppress it quickly! Anyone caught will be executed immediately! Execute immediately!"

……

Yelu Zongzhen was sitting on the throne, and his spine seemed to collapse all of a sudden.

The Jurchen people were in turmoil.

It was like the last straw that overwhelmed Yelv Zong's true pride.

He weakly said to the ministers below: "Accept the request made by the Southern Dynasty!"

……

July 28, Baigou River, on a big boat.

Fu Bi, Su Liang, Liu Liufu, and Yelu Hongji sat at the table again.

The two parties re-signed the Chanyuan Alliance Contract and confirmed the abolition of Sui coins.

In addition, Yelu Zongzhen's personal letter of apology also appeared in Su Liang's hands.

As for the ransom of three million yuan, Yelu Hongji promised that it would be sent to the Song Dynasty every year by the He Zhengdan envoy of the Liao Kingdom at the end of the year.

Fu Bi and Su Liang were overjoyed.

The task set by the officials is to abolish the Sui coins.

Now the two have overfulfilled their tasks.

If this matter is reported back to Bianjing City, it will definitely cause a fuss.

After the two parties signed the alliance, Yelu Hongji looked at Su Liang and suddenly said: "Brother Jingming, if our reform in the Liao Kingdom is not abandoned halfway, but continues to be implemented, will the Liao Kingdom be as prosperous as the Song Dynasty one day?"

Su Liang thought for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Theoretically, it's okay."

Yelu Hongji couldn't help but smile. Su Liang's words gave him hope again.

After Yelu Hongji and Liu Liufu left, Fu Bi asked with a smile: "Can the Liao Kingdom really catch up with us through reforms?"

Su Liang looked into the distance and nodded seriously.

"The result of the Liao Kingdom's reform was its own destruction. After its destruction, the Liao land returned to the Song Dynasty and became one family. Wouldn't it immediately lead to prosperity?"

"Hahahaha... It makes sense, it makes sense!" Fu Bi couldn't help laughing.

Today is the happiest day since Fu Bi became an official.

Su Liang took the letter of apology written by the Emperor of Liao and murmured: "When I return to Bianjing, I will have at least 50,000 copies of this letter of apology printed!"
