"Ahem..."

Du Bo Jilie of the Great Jin Kingdom coughed violently again. Hearing his cough, the Goryeo who was waiting outside the hall knew that their master had woken up. He immediately brought toiletries and came in one after another, preparing to serve Aguda to get up.

Aguda, who is only 54 years old this year, looks very old, with a pale complexion and white hair. If you look closely, you can find that his arms and head are shaking slightly.

His trachea and lungs may not be very good. He will get sick every winter, cough violently, and sometimes cough up blood!

In addition to the involuntary shaking of the body and the trachea, lung diseases, beauty has also become a poison that erodes Aguda's originally strong body.

The elderly Aguda can be said to be lustful, almost at the level of not saving his life. The beauty of the Indian and Western Regions sold by merchants from Liangguo to the palace of Shunyi Prefecture became Aguda's favorite. The various aphrodisiac drugs sent with the beauties accelerated the overdrawing of Aguda's little energy left.

Last night, the beautiful girl from India who was only a year old and had a hairpin was sitting on the bed. She was now wrapped in a quilt, her hair was lying on the side with a little tears on her face.

This girl is said to be the princess of a small country in India. The country was captured by the Xialiang coalition, so it became a spoiler and was sold to Shunyi Mansion thousands of miles away, becoming Aguda's toy. Yesterday, Aguda, who had taken medicine, showed his strength on the girl. After the matter was done, the girl had to thrust and pinch his shoulders and knock on his back. As she knocked, Aguda fell asleep.

Although his physical condition was getting worse, Aguda was in a good mood during this period. Because the military reforms in the past two years were quite easy. After the Second Battle of Linhuang during the Chonghe period (the Song Dynasty was only a few months in total), the important officials and generals of the Great Jin Dynasty finally realized the urgency of military reform.

In this battle, the 20,000 Eastern Liao army led by the Empress Dowager Xiao Sesse of the Eastern Liao Dynasty first captured a medium-sized bastion of the Jin Dynasty, and then rushed straight to Linhuang Mansion. On the grassland south of Linhuang Mansion, the 35,000 Jurchens - Menggu coalition forces commanded by Wanyan Xie.

In this battle, the bleak Dongliao Army set up a "camel city" on the grassland in winter, which was to tie thousands of camels to lie on the ground, add boxes and bushes on their backs, cover them with wet felts, and arrange them in a circular shape to form a temporary city.

Some of the camels also had a bracket cannon weighing less than 100 kilograms and could rotate back, called "camel cannon".

Although the caliber of this kind of gun is not large, its weight seems to be the "tiger squat cannon". However, it is well-made, easy to fill, and has a long effective range. It can reach 150 steps when firing a single projectile! When filling iron sand bullets, it can still hit targets within 80 steps.

For the Jin soldiers who do not have any firearms, the "camel cannon" is simply a killer weapon!

No matter how powerful the Jin soldiers’ bows and arrows are, they can still shoot against the iron and sand bullets of the “camel cannon”?

With the "Camel City Tactics" and "Camel Cannon", the desolate martial arts fortune is much better than Galdan, who has adopted the same style of play in the Battle of Ulan Bouton in history.

In the battle known as the Second Battle of Linhuang, she repelled 35,000 Jurchens with 20,000 Eastern Liao Army, the Menggu Alliance! She killed and injured more than 5,000! Her own casualties were only a few hundred.

This was the use of the Khitans to defeat the Jurchens with less and more! This has never happened since Aguda raised his troops.

After winning, Xiao Sesse even came to Linhuangfu City and showed off his might. The defeated Wanyan Xie had to defend the city behind closed doors, but he barely defended the castle under the protection of a sudden blizzard.

Although Linhuang Mansion was not lost, the initiative on the Korqin Grassland had already fallen into the hands of Xiao Sesse.

In the first year of Xuanhe and the third year of Xuanhe, Xiao Sesse attacked twice, besieging and breaking the six Jurchen bastions with the Camel City tactics. Only in the second year of Xuanhe did not use troops because of pregnancy and childbirth.

Under such circumstances, the military reform initiated by Aguda will naturally not encounter huge resistance.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see the power of the "Camel City Tactics", this style of play is equivalent to perfectly integrating the maneuverability of the cavalry and the sturdyness of the hard village. In addition, the "Camel Rotary Cannon" that can perfectly restrain bows and arrows, the combat effectiveness of the Dongliao Army immediately increased to several levels.

The current Dongliao Army can completely defeat the "invincible" Jurchens in field battles with fewer victories and more - no matter how brave the Jurchens are, they cannot use cold weapons to break the Camel City armed with "rotary cannons"!

However, I was lucky. After obtaining the Heishan Castle in Liangguo, the Jurchens also learned to build prisms and built many small and medium-sized prisms in the tug-of-war in the Korqin Grassland.

With these fortresses that can withstand the bombardment of artillery, the Jurchens who lost the initiative can finally delay the arrival of failure, thus winning time for reform for themselves.

Aguda's military reform method was to form his own artillery unit! He spared no expense to buy a large amount of bronze artillery from the Song Dynasty. He also sent his relatives and nobles to Kaifeng Prefecture to learn how to use artillery, cast artillery and prepare gunpowder.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe, the military reform of the Great Jin Kingdom finally showed initial results, and it had the strength to fight against the Eastern Liao and the Great Zhou Kingdom behind the Eastern Liao Dynasty.

...

"Meet the Father."

The top scholar of the Great Jin Kingdom, Ping Zhang, the Minister of War, Deputy Marshal of the Ministry of War, and Duke Shen, Wanyan Zongbi, walked into the hall and bowed to Agu, who was sitting behind the imperial case and was reading the memorial.

"Wu Shu, you're here just right." Aguda asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there any news from Xi Yinke?"

Wanyan Xiyin is now the Minister to Kaifeng Prefecture, and is currently working with the Song Dynasty to jointly attack Zhou.

Although the Great Jin Kingdom had a new army, it was still no match for the Zhou Kingdom. If you want to destroy the Eastern Liao Kingdom, you had to fight the Zhou Kingdom.

Therefore, while carrying out military reforms, Aguda did not forget to join forces with the Song Dynasty to attack Zhou.

"Yes." Jin Wushu handed a memorial to the eunuch of Goryeo, and the eunuch redirected it to Aguda.

Jin Wushu also said: "The condition proposed by Ji Yi is the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"

"What?" Aguda frowned, "Why do you still have to be in the clouds?"

Yunzhong is around Datong Prefecture, including Shuozhou, Yingzhou, Weizhou and Fengzhou. It is the core territory of the Great Jin Kingdom today. How could it be handed over to Song Kingdom?

"Isn't that treacherous minister Ji Yi making things difficult for us?" Jin Wushu said, "That guy doesn't want to go to war with Zhou State at all."

"How could it be?" A Guda said, "Don't it be said that Song State has suffered a lot of losses from Zhou State in recent years? It doesn't matter if gold and silver flow to Zhou State, even copper coins have caused several storms under the control of Zhou State's profiteering merchants. The conflict between the two countries at sea is even greater. Zhou State openly sent a fleet to threaten Japan to sign a Raush treaty, only opening its doors to Zhou State, and not allowing Song State merchants to do business... It is said that on that Frog Island, Song State and Zhou State also used wars!"

The Zhou State used the "Bohaiyi invasion incident" to dispatch fleets to oppress Japan in the fourth year of the Republic, that is, in 1118 of the Western Region.

The conditions were not harsh, and it was allowed to set up concessions in Hakata, Namba, and Sado Island, conduct "Sunday Free Trade", open the Tianli Academy, spread Confucian principles, etc.

Since the previous "China-Japan trade" was divided equally by Mingzhou merchants and Tianjin merchants, the "Sunday Free Trade" was released, which was equivalent to excluding the share of Mingzhou merchants.

Therefore, the conflict between the merchants of Song and Zhou suddenly intensified!

At the same time, due to the manipulation of Zhou Guoda Bank such as Tianjin Bank, copper prices have fluctuated violently in the past few years, causing great trouble to the financial industry of the Song Dynasty and making it difficult for copper coins and bank notes linked to copper coins to become settlement currencies for foreign trade - this is because the copper content of copper coins has never been unified.

Even after Ji Yi removed the local coin prisons and concentrated on minting coins in Xuzhou, private minting could not be forbidden. On the contrary, because a large number of minting craftsmen were dispersed, private minting coins became more rampant, and bad coins were becoming increasingly rampant.

In contrast, the price of silver and silver coins are much more stable. Moreover, there are fewer phenomena of private minting and counterfeit coins - one tael of silver coins is worth 1,700 Great Zhou Tongbao. Whoever got it was not tested again and again? Even a silver coins is worth 170 Great Zhou Tongbao. Ordinary people of the Song Dynasty may not be able to earn this number a day, so of course they cannot be treated carelessly.

However, what annoyed the Song Dynasty most was the invasion of the Java Prince's Mansion by the Java Island Chartered Chamber of Commerce in the Zhou Dynasty.

Java Island is now one island and two systems. To the west is the territory of the Java Chartered Chamber of Commerce, and to the east is the territory of the Java Prince's Mansion of the Song Dynasty. Although the Chartered Chamber of Commerce and the Prince's Mansion were both colonists, the vitality of the two aspects was much different.

The former is a bourgeois colonial company, while the latter is a fence under the leadership of bureaucrats. There is no comparison in efficiency, and the directors of the franchised chamber of commerce are the real masters and need to consider the long-term interests of the chamber of commerce. The bureaucrats serve as one for several years and leave after getting enough...

Therefore, the Han people in the Kingdom of Java voted with their feet and fled to the territory of the Java Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce not only did not stop it, but instead offered preferential conditions to lure them.

Therefore, the grievances between the two sides became increasingly deep, and eventually turned into armed conflict. The result of the conflict was the successive failure of the Java County Kingdom.

"Father, it's not Frog Island, it's Java Island..." Jin Wushu said, "It's not Song and Zhou that took action, but Zhou's Java Island Chartered Chamber of Commerce and Song's Java County Prince's Mansion."

Agu waved his hand and said coldly: "Anyway, the fight started! Why didn't Ji Yi want to go to Zhou with us? He thought that if our Jin Kingdom was going to be defeated, would the Song Dynasty still have peace?

Let Xiyin go and tell the Song people that the Tokyo Road is in danger now. If I can't hold on, I, Dajin, will be cut in half by Dongliao. There are only ten Mengans on the Shangjing Road, and most of them are not guaranteed.

At that time, our Great Jin Kingdom will have to move westward across the country!”
