"It seems that I can only think of a way to make up for it!" Zhao Liangsi thought to himself. He saw Wanyan Agu have a few glasses of wine and was in a good mood. He raised his glass and smiled: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has something to explain to His Majesty. The 'Youzhou County' written in the imperial pen of the official family in our dynasty is not about the prefectures and counties under the Youzhou Road in Liao, but about the prefectures and counties under the Youzhou Road in Tang Dynasty!"

"Youzhou Road in Tang Dynasty?" Wanyan Aguda was stunned. He naturally didn't know how large the Youzhou area was in Tang Dynasty. He asked back: "What prefectures and counties are under his jurisdiction?"

"Including the Yunnan Province Road in Liao!"

"Yunzhou Road?" Wanyan Aguda was stunned and then smiled and said, "I don't want it either in Xijing (Xijing in Liao is Yunzhou), but Ashi has never received it. When she got it, she would go to the Southern Dynasty!"

Zhao Liangsi was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Ping, Ying and the two prefectures were originally Yanjing land, and they are also divided into Yanjing land!"

When Zhao Liangsi said this, the Bohai scholar hurriedly said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense. In the letters of the great emperor of your country, there are only Yanjing land, Ping and Ying states, and they are not Yanjing!"

Zhao Liangsi was about to continue arguing. When he saw that Wanyan Aguda and the other female nobles had already looked impatient on his face. He knew that if he continued to argue, he was afraid that the covenant would be difficult, so he had to stop talking.

The next day, Wanyan Aguda appointed Nian Han and Zhao Liangsi to discuss the details of the alliance. The two sides agreed on the following matters: First, the northern troops were not allowed to pass Songting Pass, Gubeikou, and the south of Yuguan to avoid conflicts between the two sides; Second, the territory would be planned in detail, and now the Gubeikou, Songting Pass, and Pingzhou Dongyuguan are bounded as the boundaries; Third, after the agreement, neither side could negotiate peace with the Liao people; Fourth, after the Jin people occupied the Xijing territory, they would first return to Wei, Ying, Shuo, and the other prefectures and counties would return to Song Fang after taking Ashi; After signing the contract, Nian Han smiled and said, "Zhao Guizhi, after the contract is signed, our troops should enter Gubeikou from Pingdi Songlin, and the army would attack the Khitan from Xiongzhou Baigou. Both sides would not violate the contract. If there were any breachers, of course, the number of things agreed before would not be counted!"

Zhao Liangsi smiled and said, "That's natural!"

Nian Han smiled and said, "That's good. Our dynasty has burned the tombs of the Emperor of Liao and the palaces have been burned. Naturally, we will not negotiate peace with the Khitans. We just hope that we would not attack Liao as last time, as we did with our Great Jin alliance, but we did the peace with the Liao people behind our back!"

At this time, Zhao Liangsi had already heard the threat in the other party's words. A thin layer of sweat could not help but seep out of his forehead, and he hurriedly answered: "Please rest assured. My Song Dynasty is definitely not such a trustless person!"

"That's good, that's good!" said this, Nianhan laughed loudly.

At the end of October (1120), Liangshanpo, Jeju.

In October, Liangshan Po, the reed flowers are like snow, and the eight hundred miles of water have turned into a sea of ​​reeds. If it were in previous years, it would have been the time for the people around Liangshan Po to enter the lake to harvest reeds. Whether it was weaving reed mats, reed roots as medicine, large reeds in the water were a considerable source of wealth for the local people. However, the autumn of the second year of Xuanhe was not such a wonderful season for the people of Liangshan Po.

Liangshan Village

"Zhou Jian!" Wu Mu stood up and raised his glass of wine. His voice was still sharp, but his face was filled with smiles: "This prison will give you a glass of wine on behalf of Grand Tutor Yang today!"

"How can the officials be worthy of it!" Zhou Ping hurriedly stood up and was about to refuse, but Wu Mu reached out to hold him back: "You can be worthy of it, you can be worthy of it! If there was no Zhou Jianguan's efforts to suppress the bandits, how could the tax collectors in our prison reenter the water? How can the property sent to Beijing? Our prison has sent Zhou Jianguan's property to the tribute to the Grand Tutor Yang's mansion. After seeing it, the Grand Tutor was very happy and praised the Grand Tutor. I guess Zhou Jianguan's prefecture is about to be promoted!" At this point, Wu Mu drank the wine in his glass and laughed loudly.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wu, for your cultivation!" Zhou Ping had no choice but to drink all the wine in the glass and laughed. It turned out that after he arrived at Liangshan River Village, he trained his soldiers strictly, and sent Yang Wu, who was familiar with the situation of bandits in the waters, to use the resignation as bait to all bandits; or to attack with force. Since Zhou Ping now has resignation people who are familiar with the terrain of the waters, and a large number of ships and sailors provided by Zhang Jiahe, in just a few months, most of the thieves in Liangshan were wiped out, allowing Wu Mu's tax collectors to return to Liangshan Beach.

Wu Mu's alcohol tolerance was average, and today others were so excited that they couldn't help but drink a few more drinks. At this time, they had already felt 70 to 80% alcohol, and their tongue became a little bigger. They smiled and said, "Zhou Jian, I heard that you have fought with water thirty times in the past few months, beheading more than 300 times, but their side had only killed or injured more than ten people. Could it be, could it be--" At this point, Wu Mu hiccupped and said, "Is it because I killed my good deeds, right?"

"Eunuch Wu is joking, how can the officials kill good people and make achievements!" Zhou Ping's face suddenly turned dark. As a time traveler, he actually didn't want to kill those thieves who were mostly bankrupt farmers, but after taking office, he found that it would not work if he didn't do so. The reason is very simple. The geographical location of Liangshanbo is really important. The thieves who appear in the thieves threaten the water transport linking Tokyo Bianliang, Shandong, Huaibei and Hebei counties. These water transports can be said to maintain the lifeline of the Northern Song Dynasty court. Anyone who is robbed may affect the top nobles in Kaifeng City. If Zhou Ping does not want to be dismissed from office because of a thieves who are not open and a golden seal is covered with a military force on his cheek, he will have to wipe out the thieves in his jurisdiction as soon as possible.

If Zhou Ping was worried at the beginning that the bandits who were recruited, such as Yang Wu, would show mercy to his former colleagues because of his loyalty and personal grudges, he soon found that his worries were completely unnecessary. Whether it was Yang Wu or other water thieves he recruited, there was no psychological barrier to waving the butcher knife to his colleagues in the past, on the contrary, these former criminals and water thieves were the most active, determined, and the most ruthless people under Zhou Ping. Use them to themselves

The words are: "The villain is a damn person. If it were not for the magistrate, he would have been trapped in the mud in this life. He would have to kill more rebels and make more contributions, so he could become a new person." Most of the more than 300 heads that Zhou Ping reported the merits were cut down by these people. Except for a few of the first few battles, most of the soldiers under Zhou Ping were standing on the side as the military supervisor. As for those Zhao'an thieves who died in battle, Zhou Ping naturally would not report them. After selecting the elites and taking them under his command, there were almost 500 people.

"Actually, it's nothing to kill some fishermen! According to our family, there is no good person in the unlucky people in Liangshan Pond. Even if they kill them all, they can save them from rebelling again in the future!" At this point, Wu Mu was already dancing. Zhang Jiahe, who was beside him, saw that he was getting less and less sarcastic. He hurriedly said loudly: "Come. Eunuch Wu has been overdoing it, so he will help him to rest!"

"Who said I'm drunk? Our family is not drunk!" As Wu Mu's voice gradually faded away, Zhang Jiahe and Zhou Ping's faces also looked a little better. Zhang Jiahe smiled and raised his glass to Zhou Ping: "Congratulations to me. I believe I will be able to get promoted soon!"

"It's all thanks to Brother Zhang!" Zhou Ping replied: "If you had no help from you, how could I put down the thieves so quickly!" His words came from the heart. From the beginning, when he recruited Song Jiang and his gang in Liangshan to the later suppressing the thieves, whether it was intelligence or guides from ships, he could not leave the person in front of him. But he had been hiding behind the scenes and did not seek credit from Wu Mu, which was very strange. Thinking of this, Zhou Ping whispered: "Brother Zhang, you have made great contributions to this matter. If I were really promoted, I might as well recommend you to my husband--"

"No need!" Zhang Jiahe immediately rejected Zhou Ping's proposal. Seeing that he looked quite firm, Zhou Ping asked, "With his talent as a master, what's the difficulty of being a village leader?"

"Thank you, Brother Yi, I just don't want to be an official!" Speaking of this, Zhang Jiahe saw Zhou Ping's confused expression and smiled: "Brother Yu's ancestor was named Zhang Yongde. When this dynasty was founded, he was promoted to Duke Wei!"

"Zhang Yongde? Duke of Wei?" Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard this. After a moment of thinking, a light suddenly flashed in his mind, which made everything clear, and he opened his mouth and said, "Brother, you are——"

"Your brother, you know, there is no need to say much!" Zhang Jiahe stood up and said, "I'm here today. Brother Yu is going to leave first!" After that, he stood up and said goodbye.

Zhou Ping hurriedly got up and gave it to him. After that, he returned to the table and lowered his head to ponder. It turned out that Zhang Yongde mentioned by Zhang Jiahe was a great man who was the founding of this dynasty. He was originally the son-in-law of the Taizu of the previous dynasty, and the brother-in-law of Emperor Shizong Chai Rong. He was the official in front of the hall to inspect the imperial guards and commanded the imperial guards. He was the confidant of the confidant, and even Taizu of the dynasty was not as good as him at that time. However, after the Battle of Gaoping, Emperor Shizong found a cowhide bag next to him, which contained a piece of three-foot-long wood with five words written on it, "Inspection and Be the Emperor of the Palace to be the Emperor". So Emperor Shizong dismissed Zhang Yongde from the position of the Taizu of the Palace to be the commission.

Taizu of this dynasty succeeded him. Unexpectedly, Emperor Shizong suddenly died of illness a few years later, leaving the orphan and widowed mother to reign. As a result, Taizu of this dynasty took the opportunity to "put in a yellow robe" in Chenqiao and create the Song Dynasty in the 400 military states. Zhang Yongde was also highly respected in the new dynasty and was the best official position. Even Emperor Taizu also called him the son-in-law but was not named when he met. Five grandsons moved to the rank of the grandson. This incident is widely circulated among the people. Many people privately said that if it weren't for the more wood around Emperor Shizong of the previous dynasty after the Battle of Gaoping, the world would be named Zhang. However, today, what Zhang Jiahe said seemed to have another hidden story.

"Master, Zen Master Zhishan has arrived!"

A voice woke Zhou Ping up from his thoughts. He raised his head but it was Luo Sheer on duty. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Follow me out to greet him!"

When Zhou Ping came out, he saw a monk wearing black straight-fitting standing in the courtyard, looking at the weapons on the shelf next to him. It was Zhishan. Zhou Ping hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Juncheng hasn't seen a Zen master for several months, I miss you so much!"

"I am the same!" Zhishan turned around, pointed to a weapon on the weapon stand, and smiled and said, "This weapon is so strange. I have never seen it in the army for many years, but it is all made by you?"

"Not bad!" Zhou Ping smiled. He walked to the weapon stand, picked up the weapon and waved it twice. He saw that the weapon had a wooden handle about three meters long, roughly looking like a complex of a spear and an axe, and on the other side of the axe blade there was an iron tip perpendicular to the wooden handle.

"Zen Master, you are also an old army. What do you think of this weapon?" Zhou Ping smiled.

Zhishan did not answer immediately. He took the weapon from Zhou Ping and waved it a few times, saying, "The usage of this military weapon is quite complicated. Ordinary soldiers may not be able to use it well. It is like a long axe, which is specifically used against heavy armored iron cavalry. However, if the enemy is an infantryman wearing heavy armor and erected with long spears, I am afraid that this military weapon will not be able to use it!"

"The Zen master is indeed very insightful!" Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel in his heart when he heard this. This monk, the Supreme Master is indeed worthy of being a Western Army for generations, and he could see the uses and advantages and disadvantages of his guy at a glance. This thing is actually the famous Swiss halberd in Western history. Since Switzerland was a mountain country, it was extremely poor in the Middle Ages and could not afford expensive cavalry, with only a large number of brave and highly organized infantry. In order to fight against the powerful Holy Roman Empire knights, they used this iconic weapon. The spear tip can be assassinated. The axe can cut and kill horse legs, and the iron tip on the other end can hook the knight off the horse's back. The reason why Zhou Ping made this thing was for the purpose of

He used his imaginary enemy of the Jin army as ace troops. He had seen Jin Wushu, a famous general in the Jin Kingdom, on his deathbed on the Internet in his previous life, saying on the Internet: "I used to go south to fight. The great ones were just divine arm bows, and the second ones were heavy axes, and there was no fear outside!" As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy. Jin Wushu fought with the Song army for half a lifetime, and he must know which of the weapons of the Song army poses the greatest threat to the Jin army. He has seen the Divine Arm bow. It is a kind of powerful crossbow. The long Ke axe is used similar to the Swiss long halberd. He took advantage of the Song Dynasty and Liao War before it started, so as to train the basic formation first, so as not to be left to die when the disaster is in sight.

Zhishan gestured a few more times. He put it back on the weapon stand and smiled and said, "This military weapon should be held by the selection of the front and hidden behind the spear team. When the two armies confront each other, they will enter and exit the enemy's formation from the flanks." Speaking of this, Zhishan asked, "Juncheng, what you usually deal with are just some bandits, and you can have a spear and a simple sword. This is clearly used to deal with the iron armored heavy cavalry? What are you doing?"

Zhou Ping did not answer directly, but just reached out to touch the long handle of the Swiss halberd twice, and whispered: "The country has no internal troubles, there will be external troubles. Does the Zen master think that the world is peaceful now?"

Zhishan sighed without answering, and then asked in a low voice: "What do you call this weapon?"

"More than half a month ago, I just tried it out, but it was not too late." Zhou Ping smiled and asked, "The Zen master is full of talent, so please give me a name!"

Zhishan did not refuse, and pondered for a moment, saying, "This weapon is a bit like a long axe, and its usage and shape are somewhat different, so call it the Taiping Axe!"

"Taiping Axe?" Zhou Ping's face suddenly became strange. He didn't expect Zhishan to give this name, which was exactly the same as the fire axe before traveling through time. Zhishan saw Zhou Ping's face strange and asked, "Juncheng, isn't this name good?"

"That's not!" Zhou Ping smiled bitterly, "It's just that somehow the Zen master chose this name?"

"Oh!" Zhishan smiled and said, "Weapons are unknown weapons, and the saints had no choice but to use them. I would like to give a good omen to give you this name. I hope that although this weapon will kill people, it will be able to bring peace to you!"

Looking at the smile on Zhishan's face, Zhou Ping couldn't help but recall the first time he talked to him about the other party's life at his home. The words said in the words of the heroic monk: "I was originally from Linyao, Xizhou. I have been a soldier of the Western Army for generations. The elders and brothers in the clan have been infected with the king's affairs. I am the youngest in this generation. According to the convention of the clan, each generation will have to become a monk and pray for the tribesmen who died on the battlefield. It is my turn!" I couldn't help but feel a thrill in my heart. The monk in front of me can say

It is a microcosm of the border guards of the Song Dynasty. For more than a hundred years, they fought hard with the Xixia people in the northwest and protected Shaanxi and even the Central Plains. In the next few decades, their blood would flow on large areas of land in Youyan, Hebei, Hedong, Shaanxi, Central Plains and even Jiangnan, but the result was that even the tomb of his ancestors fell into the hands of barbarians. It would be fine if he died in this disaster. If he survived, what a heart-wrenching pain would be in his old life after he crossed the south.

"Juncheng, what's wrong with you?" Zhishan asked in a low voice when he saw Zhou Ping distracted.

"Nothing, nothing!" Zhou Ping hurriedly covered up and said, "Just call Taiping Axe, it's easy to please me!"

"Juncheng, I have something to entrust to you this time!" Speaking of this, Zhishan made a gesture of asking others to turn away. Zhou Ping knew that the other party had something private to say to him, so he quickly signaled Luo Sheer who was beside him to retreat and whispered: "Please talk to Zen Master, but if Zhou is within his ability, he will never refuse!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhishan smiled. He took out a small bag of cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhou Ping and said: "Juncheng, you should know that the Song and Jin sea alliance has been completed. The court appointed Duke of Jing (Tong Guan) as the envoy of Xuanfu in Shaanxi, Hedong and Hebei, and led the Privy Council to attack Liao. He wanted to go to the front of the army to serve. If there is any reason, please work hard and send the items in the bag back to my hometown for me and hand them over to my nephew Guo Cheng, so that I can pass on my mantle."

Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he realized that there was a custom in ancient China. If a certain family had no male descendants, they would often adopt one from their close relatives who had many children to pass on their incense. Zhishan was a monk, so he naturally could not marry and have children. However, as an ancient Chinese, he naturally hoped that he would still have descendants to worship him after his death. I believe that this nephew Guo Cheng was the one he chose. He didn't know what life and death are like, and the things in this bag were the relics left to the other party.
