The night gradually shrouded in. On the tall wall called Changlefang in Xijin Prefecture, Wu Haogu, dressed in Han people, was replaced by Wu Haogu, dressed in Han people. He was looking at the place where fires soared into the sky in the distance.

A fierce battle is breaking out there, oh, it cannot be considered a fierce battle, but a one-sided massacre!

The uprising of Bohai Nu in Xijinfu City was destined to be a tragedy. Although they mobilized some Han people to join the uprising team, their strength was still too weak. Only a few thousand were able to participate in the battle, and they had no good equipment, and their organization and tactics were extremely bad.

After capturing Beishi Fang and Nan'an Fang, the rebels seemed at a loss and just closed the door as a means of defense.

At the same time, the "reactionary forces" in Xijin Prefecture responded quickly. The Han family led by the four Yan tribes organized tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers in the afternoon. Two thousand of them immediately engaged in the attack on Beishifang. They dragged a siege ram from the military depot of Xijin Prefecture to hammer the west gate of Beishifang. At the same time, hundreds of archers were allowed to shoot arrows in a formation under the wall of the wall, and shot waves of feather arrows into the wall to disperse the "rebels" concentrated on the wall of the wall.

The gate of Beishifang cannot be compared with the real gate. It fell down after being hammered by the siege hammer for a few times.

Then, Ma Zhi, who was wearing armor, rushed into Beishifang with his 300 Ma family soldiers like 300 tigers. He is probably killing, setting fires, robbing and catching slaves inside, right?

"Guang Mingjun, is it meaningful for you to do this?"

Listening to the shouts coming from afar, Wu Haogu sighed and turned his head to ask the King of Guangming beside him who looked a little brave and unscrupulous.

"It would be meaningful to be a slave to the Khitans alive?" Guangmingjun asked with a smile.

Wu Haogu doesn't say anything. Although he is worse than living, he has his own ambitions. Maybe he is just a destiny for his freedom. If he takes care of his own freedom, he will be beheaded.

Guangmingjun said in a heavy tone: "There is no food, no clothing, no inch of land under his feet, no tiles on his head, and no rest when he works all day long... In such a day, living is no different from death.

In the Great Liao Kingdom, we are not only Bohai slaves who live such a life... This time, the people who rose up in Beishifang were not only Bohai slaves, but also a lot of money!”

A Qian Han was originally a swear word, but Wu Haogu knew that the words of Guangmingjun were not insulting the Han people, but were telling a fact... In Yanyun, in other parts of the Liao Kingdom, most of the Han people were just a Qian Han. Like the people of Bohai, they were all looking forward to the collapse of the Khitan sky.

However, the Han family and the great families were satisfied with oppressing their compatriots with the Khitans and refused to lead them to overthrow the Khitan rule.

The Bohai people's big clan's right surname had to embark on the road of resistance because they did not have the opportunity to participate in the distribution of fat...

Guangmingjun asked: "Now the envoy and the envoy Jian Zheng, Deputy Envoy Li should now understand who is the real enemy of the Khitans, right?"

Wu Haogu sighed. He had known who was the real enemy of the Khitans for a long time! However... he did not think that he and the Song Dynasty were the real enemies of the Khitans. How great it would be if the Khitan rule could be maintained!

But this doesn't exist!

"Guangming Lord," Wu Haogu smiled, "After I go back, I will definitely report what happened in Xijin Mansion to the official. If you and the King of Swords have any requests, I can also submit the memorial on my behalf."

Guangmingjun grinned and touched his bearded man and said, "Then I'm welcome... The ambition of restoring the country is beyond doubt. There have been countless uprisings in the past hundred years. However, because our strength has not been fully utilized, the uprisings have not been very successful."

"What does Guangmingjun think that makes the Bohai people unable to exert their power?"

"Because there is no money." Guangmingjun's answer surprised Wu Haogu a little.

"Money? Isn't it a lack of iron?"

In Wu Haogu's impression, iron tools have always been a bottleneck that plagued the rise of northern ethnic minorities. The current slogans are suppressed and beaten by the Khitans whose combat effectiveness has declined significantly.

When Guangmingjun heard this, he laughed: "The envoy must think that we Bohai people are nomadic fishermen, right?"

By the way! Wu Haogu remembered that the people of Bohai had long been Chinese, and they were settled in farming and settled people, and they also had relatively developed handicrafts.

Guangmingjun continued: "Most of the iron of the Great Liao Dynasty were built by our Bohai slaves... How could we Bohai people have no iron?"

It turns out that the people of Bohai have iron! They can make irons themselves!

This is not good news for Wu Haogu!

Because the Bohai Sea-Jurchen is originally integrated! The Bohai Sea has iron, and the Jurchens naturally have iron! It seems that the Song Dynasty could not use the "iron ban" strategy to weaken the Jurchens' combat effectiveness.

"Money..." Wu Haogu continued to deal with Guangmingjun. He actually didn't want to support the Bohai people at all. But this kind of thing didn't count. "Do you also need to hire soldiers with money?"

In his impression, when the ethnic minorities in the north rose, they generally did not engage in mercenaries.

The King of Guangming smiled bitterly: "Do you think we Bohai people are still tribal people? As long as the clan leader gives orders, can the heroes in the clan bring their own bows, horses and food to participate in the battle?"

Yes, the people of Bohai are also settled farmers.

"Don't there be a big family in the right surname in Bohai?" Wu Haogu asked uncertainly, "Are they the same as the Yan family?"

"Of course it's different!" said Guangmingjun, "But they also need money... We Bohai people are very short of money."

This Guangming Lord naturally would not tell the truth to Wu Haogu. In fact, it was not that the Right surnames of the Bohai clan were jealous of money, but that he and the Da clan, who belonged to the King of Swords, were weak and the internal disintegration was also broken. Without sufficient money, it would be impossible to drive the families of the Right surname to establish their own leadership.

In addition, the Bohai people were settled farming people after all, and business had developed long ago. Therefore, money plays a role in their lives and production, and they can also hire heroes with money.

If the Bohai Da Clan wants to raise troops, it will naturally need to spend money to hire a large number of warriors to act as their own direct line.

Otherwise, they were all from the right clan, who would have the final say in the Bohai Kingdom?

Wu Haogu nodded and thought to himself: If you want money, the official will definitely pay... "Big Gift", you won't know anything else, but you're good at giving money. The Khitan side gives 500,000 yuan a year, and the Dangxiang side gives 200,000 yuan a year. What's the point of giving tens of thousands a year? Besides, the Bohai people don't get money in vain, and they are doing things!

"Then..." Wu Haogu paused, "How do you collect money? If the official family wants to unite with you, Bohai, there will always be tens of thousands of silks a year. Of course, they will not all give money. It is probably half of the money, half of the silk, and they may also give silk. After all, my dynasty has been a bit short of copper in recent years. But how can we transport so many copper coins and silk to you?"

What? This is the issue of transporting copper coins and silk?

Guangmingjun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the matter would progress so quickly... Oh, it was not how fast the matter was going, but that the ninth-rank official of the Song Dynasty in front of him was thinking a little far away.

But now I am idle, so let’s discuss it.

"The transport of money is a problem," asked Guangmingjun, "I wonder what the noble envoy can do?"

There is no international payment settlement system these days. Tens of thousands of copper coins and silk are very heavy and huge in size. If you want to send them from Kaifeng Prefecture to Liaoyang Prefecture, where the Bohai people live together,... it will be...it is really not easy.

"Of course, there is no way to transport it on land." Wu Haogu had actually had an idea for a long time. "In addition, we cannot transport copper coins directly, because our dynasty prohibits the outflow of copper coins. If they are discovered by the Liao people, they will definitely be suspicious. So if you want to exchange money for goods, you will transport some things that can be sold in the Liao Kingdom to you. And you have set up a business to sell these goods. In this way, it will be difficult for the Liao people to find out...

By the way, it is best not to use the name of Bohai people or Song people, just use the name of Goryeo people."

Wu Haogu’s plan was actually to make excuses for establishing a “franchise” shipping business.

Although supporting the Bohai people is imperative, the people in the Song Dynasty are very brave and cannot support them publicly, so they will most likely adopt the method of secret support in private.

Wu Haogu just tried to take this job and then he could set up a "privileged" shipping business.

The "privilege" that Wu Haogu wanted was not a tax discount, but a transportation provider. What he wanted was the privilege of installing military crossbows and stone-acting tools on the "prime ship"!

The reason is of course to avoid being caught by the Khitan navy... For this reason, this kind of maritime ship should also be built in a special way, not only to be strong, but also to be fast enough, and the sailors and thugs on the ship should also be fully equipped.

In this way, even if you encounter the Khitan navy, I don’t know if there is any Wujiagang ship that can escape with its powerful combat power and speed.

In fact, Wu Haogu wanted to build a warship that could travel freely in the waters of China, the West Sea of ​​Goryeo and western Japan!

And with the warship fleet, maritime trade is easy to be done...

"Okay! OK! That's it!" Guangmingjun nodded repeatedly and agreed. In fact, although he was a "buying and selling man", he did not know how to do business and did not understand sea trade. Now, he heard what Wu Haogu said, and he still made a lot of sense.

"By the way," Guangmingjun smiled, "I can't accompany you to Kaifeng Mansion. I have a big deal about this business man! Why not do this... I ask two people to accompany you."
