Chapter 400: The Emperor Chess Game
"Oh? Don't worry, leaders. These things were originally prepared by the king for you!"
"What?"
The leaders didn't believe their ears. Could it be that Wanyan Ji wanted to give them these?
Although Wanyan Ji was a little reluctant, he nodded under Wang Wei's gaze. After enduring for so long, he finally started. If you want to unify the Jurchen tribe, you must not be stingy!
"Yes, I'll give these things to everyone, and you don't need to exchange them for cattle and sheep!"
I gave everyone a reassurance in one sentence, and I had everything I thought, thank you, admire you, and disdain...
But Wanyan Ji did this and indeed bribed a lot of people's hearts. Wang Wei knew that someone didn't care about this, so he asked someone to take it into a pocket.
"These things are not worth mentioning and have no actual value, but the things in this bag can prevent us from starving!"
"Um?"
As soon as these words were said, the previous few disdainful leaders were also a little curious. Could it be that the magic pill in their pockets would not be hungry if they took one?
As he said that, Wang Wei opened the bag, and there were yellow and orange things inside, which looked like seeds, and no one present knew them.
"Please look, this is a new crop of the Han people, called corn, which I finally got. This time, the yield is much larger than that of Su Li!
Now the State of Song has been widely promoted. Wang has specially seen this crop. This kind of crop is also suitable for planting in Xianzhou, so he specially got some!"
It turns out to be food!
Although the Jurchens are not good at farming, they also know the benefits of farming. In addition to helping Wanyanji, Wang Wei's purpose in coming to Liaodong has a new task now!
Chinese Jurchen!
Guo Hao planned to start with the Jurchens, Chineseize them little by little, and then gradually expand his influence, and eventually spread throughout the Liao Kingdom.
As the Liao Kingdom was developing, it inevitably learned Han culture, so they would not refuse such changes, and would even learn to accept them.
All the leaders' eyes were a little hot. Wang Wei put down his pocket and opened another box, full of books.
"This is a book by the Han people. We don't know many truths. The reason why the Han people can establish a powerful dynasty is based on this knowledge!"
After saying that, Wang Wei asked everyone to read it. These books were all selected by Guo Hao, and they did not have profound knowledge. There were a lot of principles for fools, mainly teaching etiquette, and of course there was a small part of the practical information.
Compared with books, they prefer food. The nation is not good at governing the country, otherwise the Emperor of Liao would not have entered Bianliang and left.
Unfortunately, there are too few people who understand this principle. Wanyan Jie was asked by her mother to learn Chinese culture since childhood. In fact, she also had ideas in her mind.
That is, he is also Guo Hao's son, and he is also qualified to inherit the throne. Compared with Guo Hao's other sons, Wanyan Ji has stronger capital.
Once Wanyan Ji unified the Jurchen tribe, the territory of the Song Dynasty would be much more, and such achievements were not comparable to those princes.
During the exchange between the two, Abuli also made some requests, but Guo Hao never commented on it, which instead aroused Abuli's competitive spirit.
She and Guo Hao were angry and stayed in Liaodong. In fact, she regretted it later because it was too difficult to maintain the tribe.
He not only needs to ensure the survival of his tribe members, but also needs the covetousness of other tribes in the local area. Everyone around him died for him. If Guo Hao had not sent Wang Wei later, she would probably not have been able to persevere.
Now everything is developing in a good direction, and the strength of the Song Dynasty is getting stronger day by day, but she is very worried because the Liao Kingdom has not stood still.
Aburi really wants to be with Guo Hao. After so many years, the more she wants to hate him, but when she sees Wanyan Ji, she can't hate him.
Abuli didn't know that this is the so-called personal charm. As a child of the grassland, she dares to love and hate, but she also admires heroes, and Guo Hao is the biggest hero in the world!
Seeing that the leaders didn't like books, Wang Wei didn't mind either. He was afraid that they would learn to be smart and would not be able to manage them in the future.
The tea and other things were distributed to everyone, and each person gave him a bag of seeds, but no one wanted the books, and the leaders all went back happily.
Looking at the remaining things, Wanyan Ji felt a little distressed. Wang Wei saw his thoughts and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep your share for you. It's better than theirs, and it's enough for you to propose marriage!"
After seeing through his elders, Wanyan Ji blushed a little, but also asked in surprise: "Sir, where is the thing?"
"You'll know when you go back and take a look. You're the king now. How can you take back the things you gave? How can you have the nerve to take them back in front of so many people?"
"Thank you sir!"
After Wanyan Ji finished speaking, he immediately returned. Wang Wei shook his head and ordered people to take all the books back. The leaders don’t want it now, and he also wants to “sell” it because this is a mission.
Wanyan Ji returned to his residence and found that there were indeed several large boxes in the hut, including fine silk, tea, perfume, and soap. These were all betrothal gifts Guo Hao gave his son.
Although Guo Hao had never seen this son, he did not forget him in his heart. As an important piece of chess piece in strategic layout, the Jurchens are a very important step.
So he ordered Li Hui to prepare more good things, but he only gave corn to the crops because he was worried that the Jurchens would not be able to keep the seeds, and once they spread, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom would not be a fool.
However, if you can use a crop, it may not be a bad thing to get the Khitan and Jurchens to dismount. Guo Hao played a big game of chess, and the purpose was to the whole of China!
A seed, a book, looks inconspicuous, but the impact it has is very far-reaching, and people in this era cannot predict it.
The Northeast region was a heavy grain-producing land in later generations, but it was not developed now. Therefore, Guo Hao helped the Jurchens and Chinese them at the same time, and was also causing trouble for the Khitans.
However, the idea is very good and it is not easy to implement. The Sosu Pavilion is just a mature Jurchen, and it is no longer an authentic Jurchen.
The Jurchens in the north are real hunting peoples, and even some uncivilized places, they may even eat raw meat and drink blood.
...
In the Bianliang Palace, Guo Hao received news from Liaodong that his son has taken the first step, and where he can go next depends mainly on his ability.
Looking at the map on the wall, the Northeast region has been marked, and the three eastern provinces have rich resources and are not the main territory of the Khitan. If we can take it down first, it will be of great significance to future development.
On the contrary, looking at the northwest, although it is at the same latitude, the terrain environment is completely different, making it very difficult to manage.
At this point, Guo Hao has unified the "world", but the world is not China. There are at least four areas on the map, so it needs to be planned.
Dali, Tubo, Uighurs, Liao...
Among them, Dali is the best to attack, but Guo Hao is not in a hurry to attack. He wants to try other ways to fight Duan's family.
In fact, Tubo is not difficult to subdue, but the rule of restraint was not what Guo Hao wanted, otherwise he would not continue to work hard on Dangxiang and other places.
To truly rule, you need to put in a lot of energy. Even if it is a forceful attack, Qinghai, Tibet and other plateau areas are definitely a nightmare for the Han people.
As for the Uighurs, that is, Xinjiang, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is actually not taken seriously in all dynasties.
But in Guo Hao's heart, China's territory is indivisible. As long as it is China's territory, even a small island, Guo Hao will not give up!
In this way, it is very difficult to attack and manage, unless he has a modern army, which seems impossible, but Guo Hao thinks there will be such a day.
The difficulties of these three regions are different, while the Liao Kingdom is the biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty and one of the most powerful countries in the world today.
Although it is not as good as the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom has also been brilliant since Yelu Xian. Guo Hao was lucky and happened to catch up with this time.
Therefore, if Guo Hao wants to unify China, he will face the Liao Kingdom in the end, including potential stocks such as Mongolia and Jurchen, which are unprecedentedly difficult.
This is very difficult for an ordinary emperor. In history, except for Kublai Khan, no emperor had such great ambitions, and the emperor behind him was just the successor.
Guo Hao, with his knowledge of later generations and his half-baked knowledge, wanted to unify China three hundred years ahead of schedule!
In fact, Kublai Khan's success was a bit lucky because the nomadic peoples had some natural advantages in war.
