The fleet finally returned with the expectation of the rebels.
This trip can be said to be a full return, bringing back the food that the Rebels most urgently needed, alleviating the rebels' urgent needs.
Xue Qing and Yang Hua, who presided over the return to Yi, met Li Hu and reported in detail about the process of going out to sea to return to Yi. This time, the destination was the Song Dynasty. Because the rebel army needed food, the Song Dynasty was the most ideal return to Yi, the fleet went directly to the waters of the Song Dynasty and carried out the return to Yi in the coastal prefectures and counties of the Song Dynasty. They had a lot of gains, but to avoid the Song Dynasty's naval army, the round trip took a long time.
Xue Qing was originally a merchant who returned to Yi by sea, but in recent years he mainly smuggled. Yang Hua was a merchant from the Song Dynasty and also a merchant from the sea. Because of the interests, he and Wu Caitian became friends. In addition to joining forces to smuggle, the pirates' abducted items were also returned to Yi by Yang Hua in exchange for the necessary food for life. This time the rebel army went to sea to return to Yi, Wu Caitian specially recommended him to Li Hu, and Li Hu had no choice but to ask him to preside over Hui Yi. Yang Hua had a good vision and knew that after he leaned on this big tree, he would definitely make a fortune, so he did his best and helped the rebel army bribe the Song Dynasty naval army.
Li Hu held a banquet to entertain the two of them, and gave them generous rewards, and then asked them to go out to sea for a second time. The main purpose this time was not to return to Yi, but to open up sea trade, so that merchants from all countries knew that pirates had changed their careers and had changed to rebels. The rebel army was not a bandit who robbed families, but wanted to kill the enemy and restore the Han Dynasty, and could return to the Song Dynasty in the future. The news was spread, so that merchants from all countries could do it back to Yi, so that sea trade would flourish, so that the rebel army would earn back to Yi and continue to increase financial resources. Of course, this would take time, but this was the only way to maintain the survival of the rebel army, even if it took a longer time, we should work hard.
Li Hu then invited Hou Jia and Wu Chitian. Because the Song Dynasty naval army had been bribed, the pirate ships could be changed to merchant ships, and they could all go out to sea to make it easy.
Before the fleet went to sea, the envoy Hu Tu rushed from Jinzhou. He set two principles for the fleet: one was to smuggle as much as possible. Smuggling could evade commercial taxes from various countries and make great profits. Secondly, using the strength of the Liao Navy to control all the sea routes in the Liaohai area. In this way, whether it was Song Shang, Liao Shang or Jin Shang, they had the big head of Huiyi, and they all entered the rebel army's pockets. This sea belongs to the rebel army. If you want to pass through this sea, please leave money to buy the route. Jinzhou.
The official position of this recruitment envoy is quite good. Han, the young minister of the Shaofu, who is in the south. Seven years ago, this man was thirty years old and became the top scholar. As the top scholar, the best among the literati in the world, of course he is famous.
Also accompanying Han was Zhang Jue, deputy envoy of the Liao Xingjun Jiedu.
Li Hu did not come forward and asked the Chief Secretary Huang She, the marching Sima Huo Liuge and the secretary Ma Liang to be responsible for the reception and negotiation.
When Ma Liang arrived at the inn, he was surprised and happy when he saw Han for the first time. The two met and had compiled the history museum together. A few years later, he suddenly met on such an occasion. In addition to being embarrassed, he was more sad. Liaodong was full of war and life was full of miserable life. Scholars like them could only follow the trend and could not control their own destiny at all.
After that, Huang She also came. Han Yu was surprised and stared at the lame man for a long time. Unbelievable. Wasn't he dead? Why did he survive again? Huang She was very calm and greeted him happily. He was very enthusiastic.
Brother Huo Liu looked left and right, and was very curious about Huang She's life experience. What is this lame man? Why do people who come from the palace tent know him? Isn't he just an assistant teacher in the Imperial College, and he is so famous? Even a top scholar calls him a teacher when he sees him, so his ability is still good.
After sitting down, he chatted for a few words, then put his personal relationship aside, and the two sides negotiated. As a result, Han had just finished studying the tutoring books, and Huang She started to curse people.
Although the Emperor of Liao and the Ministers of the Palace Treasures were so anxious that they had to lower their arrogant heads by the Jurchens, they would never bow their heads to the group of Han thieves in Liaodong. How big a wave can a group of rebellions cause? Unfortunately, these rebels caused a shocking tide, which turned the situation in Liaodong in a short time, causing the Liao Dynasty to fall into a deeper crisis.
So, this time they paid attention to it, but they still despise it, hatred it, and the conditions for responsibility were extremely harsh. It seemed that the Liaodong Rebel Army was a dying beggar who could be beaten with a bowl of rice.
"The Tiger King has an army of 200,000. The Tiger King has been fighting from Longhua to Yu Pass. If it weren't for the weather, we would have already reached Yanjing City." Huang She said angrily, "Who are you going to send a commander to the Lord? Send the beggar?"
Huang She was prepared and took out the plan formulated by the Rebels.
The condition of the rebel army was that Li Hu became the governor of Pingzhou, Jinzhou, Laizhou, King of Yan, and hereditary Pingzhou Road, that is, to be a vassal state.
As for the current situation and conditions of the rebel army, becoming a vassal state is the most ideal way for the rebel army to develop and grow. It has territory, army, and wealth. Just wait for the time to ripe, it can soar into the sky.
"We work together, even if we cannot recover Northeast Road, we can at least ensure the existing territory of the Daliao." Huang She was confident, "On the contrary, if we join forces with the Jurchens, how long can you support the Daliao?"
Zhang Jue sneered, "You are now surrounded by the Liao army. What qualifications do you have to bargain with us?"
Huang She immediately got angry, "Then let's not talk about it. We will launch an attack in June. You go back and prepare. See you in Pingzhou." Huang She shook her hand and left, and she really won't talk about it.
Brother Huo Liu admired the lame man very much, was powerful and powerful. He stood up and said gloomyly, "Why are the Jurchens unwilling to negotiate peace with you? It's very simple, because they are going to fight the Jingdao. If the Shangjingdao is lost, Zhongjingdao falls into a tough battle, and Nanjingdao is attacked by us again. Let's ask, can you still maintain the country's destiny? A joke." With a wave of his hand, he left.
Ma Liang began to pack up his things.
Han pondered for a long time and asked, "Can I talk to your general manager?"
"The General Manager is discussing with the Jurchens." Ma Liang smiled bitterly, "Brother Gongmei, to be honest, under the current situation, you have no sincerity to use this condition to attract attention. You have no sincerity. Is it necessary for our General Manager to see you?"
Han and Zhang Jue looked at each other and were at a loss.
The conditions between the two sides are very different, so there is no need to talk about them again.
The messenger of the Jin Kingdom arrived at Taohua Island by boat.
Li Hu's original intention was not seen, but Wanyan Zongwang wrote a letter detailing the reasons why the Jin Kingdom refused to negotiate peace. The most critical point was that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom refused to admit defeat. The Liao Kingdom's emperor was the emperor of Donghuai, not the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom. The Jurchens established the Great Jin Kingdom, but the Liao Kingdom's emperor appointed the Jin Kingdom as the emperor of Donghuai, and changed the name of others. This was too much of a joke and had no sincerity in discussing peace. What is Donghuai? It means that the small country has its virtue, and the Liao Lord refused to recognize the Great Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Aguda and the Jurchens were angry, and the situation in Liaodong was very beneficial to the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, the Jin Kingdom also had a Song-Jin alliance as a backing. Just when the time was ripe, the two countries could attack north and south. Now the Jin Kingdom has an absolute advantage, but its strength is still unable to compete with the Liao Kingdom, which means that the time to attack Liao Kingdom is not yet ripe. The most urgent task is to consume the strength of the Liao army to promote the opportunity to attack Liao as soon as possible.
Wanyan Zongwang revealed a message in the letter that the Jurchens were willing to continue to join forces with the Liaodong Rebel Army to attack Liao, but considering the future development of the situation in Liaodong, the two sides need to discuss some details in detail. Obviously, this detail is the division of interests.
Li Hu wanted to know what conditions the Jurchens offered, so he agreed to meet.
The messenger of the Jurchens was Yang Pu, a native of Bohai and Wanyan Aguda, who made great contributions to the founding of the Jurchens.
Mr. Wuyan came with him.
The Jurchens also started their business by rebelling and to some extent, they understood what the Rebels needed, so their conditions were simple and clear. We attacked at the same time, and you attacked the south and I attacked the north. The territory you captured was your land, and the territory I captured was mine.
This condition seems reasonable. Everyone works together to make a lot of benefits, and they all rely on their abilities. But if you think about it carefully, the Jin people have hidden secrets.
It is very simple. The authentic security of Nanjing determines the survival of the country for the Liao Dynasty. The Liao people have heavy troops here. The rebel army went south to attack Youyan, which was equivalent to restraining most of the main forces of the Liao army, while the Jurchens could take the opportunity to sweep the north and attack everything. In this way, the territory captured by the Jin people is of course very large. Even if the rebel army wins, it is still a question whether it can defend Nanjing road because of its serious loss. This is simply an unpredictable trap.
Although the Jurchens used their generosity to confuse the rebels, Li Hu was not an idiot. He could see the mystery at a glance.
It doesn't matter, I want you to treat me like an idiot. You imagine me too smart, but it's not a good thing.
