Chapter 713 Hetao
There is no era that is more terrifying than this era, nor is there a time that is more comfortable than this era.
The Jin people's arrogance obviously made them not realize how important turning point Wanyan Yong's death was in history, which eventually led them to perish in the next few decades.
The comfort of the Song people and the opportunistic mentality of the court, with Zhao Gou's death and Zhao Xing's unpsychological politics, also made the Southern Song Dynasty stand at a confused crossroads, and ultimately made the next few successors look worse than the other generations, and thus also went to decline.
Looking at history from the perspective of future generations, sometimes you will find that Zhao Gou, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, was actually the best in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Liao Kingdom is already in danger. Although I haven't seen this momentum yet, the internal and external troubles of Liao Kingdom seem much more shaky than other countries.
Xia Kingdom was strong and mysterious. Even though the warlike customs discouraged others, his geographical location was too important. Naturally, when the Tatars on the grassland wanted to gain greater benefits through war, they were the first tough stumbling block.
Dali is also weaker at this point in time than other countries, and is content with the strategy of being indifferent to the world. With the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was unable to save their fate.
From the perspective of future generations, you will find that every country in this era is on the verge of collapse, but it is just about time, but it has already shown signs of decline.
Even though the Tatars were able to conquer incredible territory on horseback, their strength was like a gorgeous building without foundation, and their decay was so fast that it caught people off guard.
Looking around, the heroes on the land of China at this time were actually the short-lived passers-by in the long river of history, like fireworks, especially the unification of the Tatars, which was so short and gorgeous.
The prince's mansion has been silent for many days, which finally made Ye Qing, who was in Jinan, breathed a sigh of relief. He could not guess whether it was Li Fengniang, the woman who knew how to take the overall situation into consideration, or whether someone was there to give her advice for her, which made her not in a hurry to be the queen.
Boredly, he continued to flip through the map in his hand. As the Jin people on Nanjing Road withdrew on a large scale, including the Jin people scattered on Nanjing Road, they also began to evacuate north of the Yellow River with the Jin soldiers. Ye Qing's eyes also began to turn to the vast territory north of the Yellow River.
If you want to go further, it is impossible in a short period of time, but it does not mean that you cannot plan to achieve the future ambitions north of the Yellow River, especially the Sixteen Prefectures in Yanyun.
Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Canfeng returned to the Jinan Prefecture Office in a burgeon. Looking at Ye Qing staring at the map alone, they began to report on what they saw and heard on Nanjing Road.
With the return of Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao, Tian Lin and Li Zhongfang have been relocated to Nanjing Road after more than two months of preparation, while in Shandong, in addition to Ye Qing, who is in charge, are the naval army of Lao Liutou and Li San.
Chen Cishan and Xin Qiji have now become the sacrificial envoys and prefects of Nanjing Road. When they occupied various cities, they cooperated well, and everything on the entire Nanjing Road was going on in an orderly manner. Even the occasional small rebellion, etc. could be suppressed in the shortest time.
Of course, the comforting process is naturally indispensable to the assistance of the royal family members of the Northern Region.
As several dukes and princesses were dispersed from Tai'an Prefecture on a large scale by Ye Qing, they have now become the best tool to appease the people and win over the hearts of the people. The role of the royal clan can play is even sometimes much more obvious than the effect of thousands of troops.
Because of Ye Qing's leadership in Shandong, and Yang Huaizhilu followed Lao Liu and poured Li San, the position of comforting the city and land was becoming more and more convenient. Now, the entire Shandong route has finally restored true peace and peace at this time.
The Jingzhao Mansion Road, which was controlled by Yu Yunwen, was escorted by Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can to escort Yelu Yue to the road, which also made Ye Qing feel more at ease about Yu Yunwen, whom he first met.
Just like the appointment and removal of officials from Nanjing Road and Shandong Road, under Ye Qing's instruction, the imperial decree of the court is now effective in Yu Yunwen's mind.
It was precisely because of Yu Yunwen's cold attitude towards the court and obeying Ye Qing's order that the news that after the Jin people on Nanjing Road evacuated to Lin'an, Wang Huai instantly became panicked and was at a loss, and began to truly regret the decision to appoint Ye Qing's Northern Expedition.
In June of the 16th year of Chunxi, Shandong Second Road, Nanjing Road, and Jingzhao Mansion Road and Fourth Road finally restored the order that Ye Qing wanted. After more than half a year of back and forth change of defense and back and forth between officials, Ye Qing also made Ye Qing stand in charge. Every order came from Jinan Prefecture, the Jinan Prefecture, which was involuntarily concerned, became the place where the Fourth Road could not help but pay attention to, making Jinan Prefecture the first of the Four Roads, and its meaning and importance were even more than Kaifeng Prefecture.
Of course, Kaifeng Prefecture still has its unique importance and sensitivity, because Ye Qing has never been involved, and he has not been in charge of Kaifeng's dispatch of Jinan Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture, which has also made Wang Huai unable to get responses and support from others in the court for Ye Qing's crime of rebellion.
Now everyone knows that Ye Qing is the real appeaser of the Fourth Route of the North. Even at the beginning, he was in Lin'an and was waiting for Ye Qing to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to guard. Then they were in the Lin'an court and used the memorials that had been prepared to attack Ye Qing for your intention to rebel.
But Ye Qing obviously realized the sensitivity of Kaifeng Prefecture. Now, not only did he not have the control of Kaifeng Prefecture, but even his general Xin Qiji, after appeased Kaifeng Prefecture, he continued to turn west and stationed in Zhengzhou, one of the four auxiliary assistants in the capital under the Song Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, Ye Qing's attitude in the four directions of the north was very polite to be loyal ministers, as if he was sweeping a bed and waiting for the imperial court to move the capital to Zhengzhou.
But now, when Zhao Xing had no psychological politics and no ambition, under the premise that Ye Qing had to rectify the entire four routes of the Northland, not to mention that he had no psychological politics, Zhao Xing, who did not know that Ye Qing was ambition, even Wang Huai and others ignored Ye Qing's behavior of waiting for him.
What a joke, the entire four routes of the North are now your territory. If you moved the capital to Kaifeng Prefecture at this moment, you, Ye Qing, wouldn't you, use the emperor to command the princes like Cao Cao back then? In this way, will there be anything else going on? Wouldn't all officials have to act according to your expression?
Now in Lin'an, although they also have to do things according to Wang Huai's expression and participate in politics and politics, everyone still has the best time to make money and freedom. Besides, Han Cheng, who was about to be suppressed by Wang Huai in the court, now has signs of resurrection. If the two of them can compete in each other again, staying in Lin'an, a place with pleasant scenery and flowers blooming all year round, is not better than Kaifeng Prefecture, which is cold in winter, hot in summer, and floods from time to time? It's not better than seeing you alone?!
After looking at Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can, who had heard from Jingzhao Mansion, he then watched Mo Xiaobao put a thick letter on the table, and after Yu Yunwen's handwritten letter, Ye Qing calmly put the letter into his sleeve bag.
His eyes then turned to the map again, and he asked while looking, "What else did Yu Yunwen say?"
"He said that Xia people are not at peace now. When he was attacking Jingzhaofu Road, Xia people had the idea and actions to take the opportunity to capture Jin Guo Xiqin Road. But later... Lord Yu speculated that Xia people might be afraid that they would help us restrain the attention of Jin people, so they gave up. But now we are occupating the four routes of Jin Guo Xiqin Road without any effort, so Lord Yu said that in the past or two years, Xia people would attack Jin Guo Xiqin Road, Qingyuan, and Fuyan Road." Mo Xiaobao pointed to the three routes on the map and said.
The three roads on the map, the southern border borders the Jingzhao Prefecture, which is now occupied by Yu Yunwen, and the Lizhou Road where he came out, are located west of the Yellow River, which is heading east. If the Xia people want to advance east, they naturally have to take the lead in capturing the Xiqin Road, then the adjacent Qingyuan, and the Fuyan Road that is leaning eastward against the Yellow River.
If the Xia people really had this intention, they naturally needed to break through each other before they could occupy these three routes. In comparison, if Yu Yunwen wanted to go further north, he would have to rely on Lizhou Road and Jingzhao Prefecture Road, and face the three routes of Xiqin, Qingyuan, and Fuyan Road, which both bordered the two routes.
Ye Qing also wanted to occupy these three routes, and even drooled at them every time he looked at the map. Of course, the strategic location of these three routes was not very safe, and once he was taken down, he would have direct contact with the Tatars on the grassland.
But compared to unwilling to have conflicts with Temujin so early, Ye Qing was also eager to occupy all the territory within the Yellow River. Now, outside the four roads south of the Yellow River, there is only the fertile Hetao area left.
As the saying goes, the Yellow River has many harms, and only rich ones start from the east to the east, blocked by Yinshan Mountain and then flowed eastward, and then encountered Luliang Mountain and then went south, forming a shape of several characters, thus called Hetao.
Now Ye Qing has completely occupied the length of the pen stops of several characters in a shape of several characters, and has flowed eastward from Jingzhao Prefecture to the south of the sea. So now looking at the three Hetao Roads in the middle of those characters, it would be strange if he doesn't drool and doesn't feel greedy.
Moreover, in these words, not only is the soil fertile, but also the grassland that the Song people wanted the most, which was enough to allow Ye Qing to be self-sufficient in war horses.
So Ye Qing, the entire Xiqin, Qingyuan, and the Fuyan road, naturally dreamed of getting him, thereby reducing Yu Yunwen's dependence on the Lizhou road behind him.
