Chapter 457: The Liao Army goes south

A few days later, Fu Yanqing announced the news that the Fu family would marry the Sun family. The world was in an uproar for a while, and Zhao Guangyi, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't help but get tooth pain from the anger.

On the contrary, Sun Yue, who was in the center of the storm, seemed to be unaffected and did whatever he should do. Everyone thought he would have a conflict with Han Chongyun, but the two of them got along very well all day now, and did something that the fortune-teller should do without crossing the line.

Even after confirming that the Khitans would not invade in a large scale in the short term, Sun Yue simply left Xiongzhou and Bazhou, and began to visit many prefectures and counties in Hebeidao one by one, and honestly began to count the amount of money and grain in each county, as well as people's livelihood. Of course, wherever they went, they must vigorously promote the commercial alliance formed by their Sun family. In just half a month, all the big merchants and giants in Hebeidao became his guests.

What is more amazing is that after just a simple walk around, Sun Yue actually surveyed seven or eight large iron mine areas. In less than half a month, Han Derang was able to gather the entire Hebei power and built a total of six or seven small steel furnaces with the help of the Sun family. Then it was incorporated into the Military Commission system and began to absorb the family of Tianxiong Army.

Then, Sun Yue, who had not even been to the military camp several times, had a huge prestige in the Tianxiong Army. When he walked into the camp, he could be warmly welcomed by the soldiers, making Fu Zhaoyuan sigh at the terribleness of his person. Thanks to his family, otherwise how could they compete with such a person if Fu Yanqing died?

Maybe he disliked Sun Yue's momentum, but he was not very popular enough. Sun Chunming, who had been wilted for half a year, suddenly made a big move before his own wedding. He formally established an item called "Dahe Company" in Luoyang. With the money shop business as the core, he joined hands with almost all the giant merchants along the Yellow River and several major factories in Luoyang to take over the deposit and loan business of Fengxiang Tianxia, ​​and made a thing called silver notes for exchanges and use by internal members of the company. At the cost, the "company" will be responsible for all the costs required to build the canal in the next few years of the imperial court.

Needless to say, this policy must have been fully supported by the King of Yan, and several factions were simply split within the court to discuss it. Zhao Guangyi undoubtedly opposed it. Although he did not say it clearly, it is not so easy for people to pay for you to build the canal. Moreover, there are also many true gentlemen among the officials who are doing their best for the country and the people. Those who are swaying their beards and staring at the eyes refuted the opposition speechlessly.

But this is not important. What is important is that the opposition from the court does not seem to have played a big role. The canal used to radiate to the world with Luoyang as the origin. In recent years, the matter about the canal has been firmly held in the hands of the King of Yan.

As for the official He-Nan Prefecture, in principle, everything that happens in Luoyang, whether it is military, wealth, civil, or political affairs, has absolute jurisdiction. In addition, the Salt and Iron Department is in the hands of Sun Chunming in Luoyang. No matter whether you agree or not, it seems that it will not delay others doing whatever they should do. It is just a matter of whether they have a status or not. Now, His Highness of the King of Yan is recruiting He labourers all over the world.

In the company, all the Sun family's industries were thrown into it, and 20% of the shares were exchanged, 20% of them were from the Salt and Iron Company, 20% were from the Military Commission, 30% were from the wealthy merchants on both sides of the Yellow River, and 10% were invented a kind of east-west called stocks to raise funds from the world. Sun Chunming clearly pointed out that 10% of the stocks were just the beginning, and all their shares would be diluted in the future, and private capital would account for at least 40% of the company.

These stocks will strictly control their flow and will be purchased by meritorious soldiers, retired generals, etc., but they support the stock transfer transaction.

Apart from the Sun family and his son, few people in the world can see what this so-called "company" is. This is completely the prototype of the Dutch East India Company. Apart from the lack of its own military and diplomatic rights, everything else is basically nothing.

Oh, if both the meritorious soldiers and retired generals own stocks, there seems to be no need to form an army by themselves.

Stocks, not to mention an angel or a devil, began to uncover a corner of the veil on their face with affection.

The father and son's series of methods were almost done in one go, and the mercury was as smooth as the ground, so smooth that others were done before they could react. Zhao Guangyi, until Han Delang successfully elected the so-called general manager of the company, had not yet figured out the meaning behind the company, and all he could do was to argue with Zhao Tingmei.

The national hero is unparalleled, these four words are truly worthy of.

But soon, Zhao Guangyi had no time to take care of their father and son, and thus missed the only opportunity to interfere in the development of the "company". When he turned around and wanted to deal with it, he was a huge thing that even the Sun family and his son themselves could not do anything about it.

Emperor Yelu Xian of Liao completely tore up the Tanzhou Alliance and began to summon Khitan warriors on a large scale, vowing to avenge his previous shame. An old friend of the Song Dynasty, an old acquaintance of Sun Yue, and the God of War of the Great Liao, Yelu Xiuge, began to gather troops three days ago and personally carried 500,000 troops southward.

It is obvious that this is no longer a matter of Yunzhou or Xiongzhou. They are clearly planning to take advantage of the unstable power within the Song Dynasty to destroy this new regime in one breath, just like they subverted the Later Jin thirty years ago.

Calculate the time, Zhao Kuangyin has been dead for half a year, which is almost enough for the Liao Dynasty to summon warriors. In addition, the weather is cold now, so it is indeed the time for others to take up all the time.

At this critical moment, I can't even care about any company that is not a company. Although there were signs before, the Song Dynasty was not completely unprepared. It transferred Pan Mei and Yang Ye to Yunzhou in advance. Confucian generals like Sun Yue went to Xiongzhou. But seeing such a big disturbance this time in the Liao Dynasty, I couldn't help feeling a little worried. In a hurry, I could only order Han Chongyun to be the Northeast Camp to deploy, and Pan Mei to deploy for Yunzhou. Let's talk about it again.

However, as the saying goes, crisis and opportunity always coexist. When Emperor Yelu Xian of Liao won the throne, Sun Yue used a plan to flood his King of North and South Courts at the same time, destroying his ace direct troops, causing danger to the Daliao. The situation was much more serious than the current Song Dynasty.

However, although Zhao Kuangyin's personal expedition caused the Liao Kingdom to be defeated, it also made all the princes of the Liao Kingdom have to give up their ambitions and have to rely on Yelu Xian, recognize his leadership, and jointly deal with the Song army. Yelu Xian's outstanding performance also impressed many of his brothers, making it difficult for the Liao Dynasty to remain unstable for so many years, but at least it has not been too big.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi had become the throne, with suspicion of killing his brother and usurping the throne, and had no prestige in the army. Isn’t it like Yelu Xian back then?

So Zhao Guangyi decided that he would do his best to control the governor of the world, and to promote the troops from the two capitals of Kaifeng and Luoyang, and to go out to fight the Khitan Hu on the battlefield. He wanted to lead the army in person!
