Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

He was familiar with the daily reports from the Third Division. After years of war, the national treasury was depleted. How could he get these 10 taels of silver?

Qin Hui had already calculated it. When the officials asked, he smiled and said, "Guan, the treasury doesn't have it, but someone does!"

Zhao Gou's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened, "Who has it?"

"Shen Wanshu! According to what I said, the millions of acres of land she controls can be sold a lot every year! Coupled with the hugely profitable Dasong Bank and Zui Furong Restaurant, 50 taels is not enough for her. A drop in the ocean!”

Zhao Gou hesitated, "Qin Qing, she supplies the food and grass for the army around Kaifeng, so what reason does the imperial court have to ask for money from her?"

Qin Hui said with a smile, "Officials! Taxation! levy the 'rich businessman income tax' and collect taxes based on 50% of the income! With the 'rich businessman income tax', let alone [-] taels, it is a million taels even in the Song Dynasty. It’s affordable.”

Zhao Gou frowned. Although Shen Wanshu was a businessman in the Song Dynasty, her wealth and power made it impossible for the court to turn a blind eye.Moreover, if part of the wealth can be obtained from her through taxation, it can also relieve the pressure on the national treasury.So, he nodded, but at the same time he raised another concern in his mind, "This matter... I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of merchants all over the world!"

Qin Hui smiled gloomily, "Officials, I have my own way to get Shen Wanshu to come up with money without hurting the merchants all over the world."

Zhao Gou frowned slightly, "Tell me about it!"

"The imperial court only needs to set the income tax standard for wealthy businessmen at an annual income of 200 million taels of silver. Wouldn't everything be solved?"

Qin Hui’s move is evil!It’s darker than the ash at the bottom of a pot!Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, how many rich people earn 200 million taels of silver per year?Not to mention 200 million, even 20 taels, there were only a handful in the entire Song Dynasty.

His move was obviously to make Zhao Yingluo bear all the coins!

Zhao Gou was silent for a long time, and then said, "Qin Qing's advice is true! But since I want to take money from her to stabilize the world, I can't treat her too badly. I can make her the Marquis of Anping! I will live in a city with thousands of households." ! Order to reward her with 50 acres of clan land around Luoyang! As for her private soldiers, they will be controlled by the imperial court!"

Qin Hui was a little unhappy. I just asked her to bleed to provide me with new coins, so why did I reward her again?

"In the official family, the person the Jin people hate the most is Shen Wanshu. If she is awarded a reward at this time, what will the Jin people think? What's more, paying taxes is the obligation of the people of the Song Dynasty! If this happens, everyone who pays taxes in the future will If you ask for a reward, how will the officials deal with it?"

Zhao Zaozhao thought about it and felt that what Qin Hui said made sense, "In that case, let's put aside the reward for now!"

Qin Hui stirred up trouble in the court. Although Lu Yihao was no longer the number one opponent, there were still Zhu Shengfei and others, but their words naturally did not hold as much weight as Lu Yihao, who was the left prime minister and had a hot temper.

Therefore, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui conspired and decided to surrender to Jin.

[The next day·Chaotang]

After learning that the officials were going to summon Zhang Tonggu today to announce the Song Dynasty's decision, the main combatants took sick leave one by one. They were really angry at such conditions that were humiliating and humiliating the country.In order to show his dignity as an envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, Zhang Tonggu came up with an extremely unreasonable reason. Not only did he not pay homage to Zhao Gou, but instead asked Zhao Gou to order someone to give him a Zhao Gou dragon chair in the court hall. A chair was arranged nearby, and he sat down in full view of everyone.

"How are the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty thinking about it? War or peace?"

Zhao Gou also felt that he agreed a little too quickly. He was ashamed to speak up about such humiliating terms, so he gave Qin Hui a look.

Qin Hui understood it instantly, saluted Zhang Tonggu with a smile and said, "If the Song and Jin Dynasties fight, the world will be in chaos, but if there is peace, the world will prosper. I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, care about the people of the two countries and choose peace! Your envoy proposed to remove Zongze and Lu Haowen, Shen Wanshu and others, our court agrees! We also agree to pay compensation in money and goods, but this cession of land... I, the Song Dynasty, will never agree! But in order to show our sincerity in seeking peace, our court is willing to transfer Puzhou and Shangzhou to Da Qi thought it was compensation."

Zhang Tonggu was overjoyed when he heard that he agreed to two of the three conditions!But he remained calm on the surface, "Master Qin! In the fifth year of Tianhui, I, Da Jin, went south to establish my authority. Since then, Jingdong East Road, West Road, Hebei Road, Shandong Road, etc. are all under my Da Jin's iron hoof. It should be my country, Dajin. If I, Dajin, want to return to my own land, why not? If I don’t agree to this, I, Dajin, will forcefully cross the Yellow River. In addition to taking back the land that belongs to Dajin, I will also further expand the territory. Tuotu! If you, the emperor and your ministers, cannot make a decision at noon, I will report it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin."

"This……"

Qin Hui was speechless for a moment. In his plan, as long as two of the conditions were agreed to, the Jin people would be willing to give up and maintain peace between the Song and Jin Dynasties for a period of time, but he did not expect that Zhang Tonggu actually wanted them to agree completely.

"Your Majesty, please calm down your anger for the time being. What do you think of this? We will use the river as the boundary, and the land north of Hebei will belong to your country, and the land south of Henan will return to our Song Dynasty!"

Until then, Zhang Tonggu nodded triumphantly, "I see the sincerity of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty! In this case, we, the Kingdom of Jin, will endure the pain and only get the land of Hebei."

After Zhao Gou heard Zhang Tonggu's words, he cursed in his heart! &#*)!Daikin endures the pain?Where is the golden pain?Daijin still detains the princes and concubines of the clan.

But according to his courage, he just cursed in his heart.

Zhao Yingluo didn't know that just when she was about to take Wei County, the Lin'an monarchs and ministers had already decided to eat her!

[Thirty miles away from the county seat of Wei County]

After a night of recuperating, Zhao Yingluo's [-] cavalrymen were all in high spirits, jumped on their horses, and headed straight for the county gate at the first light of April [-]th.

Compared with ordinary prefectures and counties, Wei County is smaller in scale and the city gate defense is also weak. Even though most of the troops led by Zhao Yingluo are cavalry, they can only quickly break through the city in an hour at the cost of more than ten people dying in battle. !
The hundreds of soldiers guarding the city are Liu Lin's subordinates. After experiencing last year's war, when they heard that the god Zhao Yingluo was coming, how could they still resist at all?The moment the city gate was breached, everyone abandoned their armor and surrendered directly.

As a result, Wei County City, an important road connecting Zhending and Daming Mansion, and an important food road node for Wanyan Zonghan's army, fell directly into Zhao Yingluo's hands.

What makes Zhao Yingluo happy is that in addition to the huge amount of food and grass in the city, there are actually nearly [-] fat and strong horses!This is an important windfall.

After learning that Wei County was quickly occupied by Zhao Yingluo, Liu Yu, who was the emperor in Daming Mansion, couldn't sit still!Now the two places are less than a hundred miles apart. If the other party comes straight to Daming Mansion, things will be serious.
