Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The massacre in Indonesia quickly attracted worldwide attention.  People in Japan, the Korean Peninsula and the Philippines are all learning Chinese like crazy. Now they are finally afraid, knowing that China really dares to destroy them.  Western governments, led by the United States, unusually did not take a position, as if they did not know. However, civilians organized massive demonstrations to condemn the massacre.

    Wen Shen issued an order to eliminate all Indonesians within half a year, and then came to Liaoyang Prefecture of Liao Kingdom as if there was no one else there.

    "Xiangong" Yelu Nanxian was overjoyed when he saw Wen Shen appearing in the other courtyard and hurriedly stepped forward, "Xiangong, I thought you had returned to the Song Dynasty."

    Wen Shen patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "I've dealt with some things, are you still getting used to being here?"

    "It's good, but it's not as prosperous and convenient as Yizhou. There are not many things here." Yelu Nanxian held his arm, "Your Majesty has always wanted to see you. When can you see me?"

    "Then let's do it tomorrow"

    ¡­¡­

    The next day, in the main hall of the Liaoyang Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials from the Liao Kingdom stood on both sides, all dressed in rich attire.  Yelu Yanxi, the imperial city of the Liao Kingdom, was sitting on the throne, facing the civil and military ministers.

    Wen Shen stood in the middle of the hall, observing the Emperor of Liao.  He has thick eyebrows, big eyes and a mustache, wearing traditional Liao costumes and a fur hat with two unknown feathers stuck on it.

    "I have met the Emperor of Liao," Wen Shen said in a serious tone without moving.

    Yelu Yanxi frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Grand Master, are you living well during this time?"

    "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's not bad."

    "That's good." Yelu Yanxi glanced at Yelu Dashi, "I heard from Dashi that the Grand Master intends to open border trade between the two countries?"

    Wen Shen smiled slightly and said, "That's what I meant."

    "That's great." Yelu Yanxi paused and looked at Wen Shen with expectant eyes. "If border trade is opened, all goods can be freely bought and sold? For example, firearms?"

    Wen Shen did not answer directly, but asked in a different way: "How did you feel about the firearms I sold you last time?"

    "The effect is very good. All the rebels have been wiped out. Now Daliao is unprecedentedly stable, and basically no one dares to commit rebellion." Yelu Yanxi seemed very happy. It seemed that firearms had brought many benefits.

    "Your Majesty, do you think your Liao Kingdom is our rival in the Song Dynasty?" Wen Shen asked calmly.

    "Umwell" Yelu Yanxi knew that they were no match for the Song Dynasty, but was embarrassed to say so, so he hesitated for a long time without giving any reason.

    "I can tell you clearly, Your Majesty, you may have been able to compete with the Song Dynasty before, but now you are no match for us. It will be easy for us to destroy you, there is no difficulty at all."

    "Unbridled" a general in the main hall shouted angrily.

    Wen Shen looked at this man with cold eyes, "If you don't believe it, you can try it. Believe it or not, the Song army can wipe out the entire north in one month."

    After destroying Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Indonesia, Wen Shen's mentality has changed a lot. He now believes that treating enemies must be ruthless.  To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.  He had killed many people in the past, but he had never committed genocide. Wen Shen always felt stumbling in his heart. Now that he has massacred Indonesia, he doesn't feel anything special. He just killed them.  If they are killed, they will be slaughtered.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Yelu Dashi hurriedly smiled and said: "What the Grand Master said makes sense, let's continue talking about border trade."

    Wen Shen snorted coldly, "If it wasn't for Nanxian's sake, I would have wiped you out long ago. It would be an honor for you to be here chattering here." Then he looked at Yelu Yanxi, "From now on, you  We need to cancel the title of emperor and change it to king. The level is the same as that of Korea and Japan. We are not allowed to call ourselves emperor without authorization. At the same time, Xijing Road is handed over to the Song Dynasty."

    "What!" Yelu Yanxi heard this and immediately became furious, "You are too bullying."

    Wen Shen chuckled, "I've made it very clear. As for whether you do it or not, that's your business. Well, now I have other things to do, so I'll go back to Song Dynasty first."

    After saying this, he disappeared into the hall.

    Seeing this scene, there was a silence in the hall.  After a long time, Yelu Yanxi came back to her senses and asked, "My dear friends, what should I do?"

    Yelu Dashi did not expect that things would develop to such a situation, but he also knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later.  How could the Southern Dynasty, which had become stronger, tolerate a powerful enemy in the north?

    So, he shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, I suggest you do as he said. If you don't do it, I will??It is very likely to be the next Xia Kingdom.  "

    "We have millions of soldiers in armor, so don't we have the strength to fight?" Yelu Yanxi asked reluctantly.

    "Your Majesty, you have seen the power of firearms. Do you think soldiers holding spears and bows are rivals of the Southern Dynasty's firearms?"

    Yelu Yanxi thought of the scene of killing Wanyanbu with firearms, and felt a chill in her heart. She felt that there was basically no chance of winning.  Suddenly he remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he said anxiously: "Don't we still have some firearms?"

    "There are some firearms, but there are not many bullets, and each one is used less."

    ¡°Can¡¯t we make it ourselves?¡±

    "Weichen has tried it many times." Yelu Dashi shook his head, "But it doesn't work."

    Yelu Yanxi sighed, "If Xijing Road is handed over to the Southern Dynasty, we will completely lose the opportunity to take over the Central Plains."

    Yelu Dashi laughed twice, "Your Majesty, don't talk about taking over the Central Plains. It's good to be able to ensure your own safety now. As you just saw, the Grand Master of the Southern Dynasty came and went without a trace. If you really want to assassinate us, you won't be able to capture us."  thing."

    "Well, you have full authority to handle this." Yelu Yanxi suddenly lost all fighting spirit and seemed frustrated.

    ¡­¡­

    After coming out of the main hall, Wen Shen came to the other courtyard and found Yelu Nanxian. "Nanxian, I have something to do now. I will go back to Song Dynasty first. You can stay here for a while. If you want to go back, let Dashi and the others escort you to Huiyi."  state."

    "Ah, sir, you have to go back now." Yelu Nanxian asked in surprise.

    "Yes. Okay, I'm leaving."

    After saying that, Wen Shen flashed to Kaifeng, the capital.

    After putting down the rebellion in the south, the dynasty returned to the dynasty and continued its military training.  So far, he has organized and trained an army of 100,000 people, and also equipped a logistics department of more than 30,000 people, which is mainly responsible for the food, material transportation, etc. of the combat troops.

    Seeing Wang Chao in the military camp, Wen Shen smiled and said, "Now you have a new mission."

    "What mission?" Chao Chao seemed very excited. Other brothers were expanding their territory outside the capital, but he was training at home, which was really boring.

    "Recover Yunzhong Mansion"

    Wang Chao's eyes lit up, "Yunzhong Mansion? Does the commissioner mean that we are going to go to war with the Liao Kingdom?"

    "So be it. However, I feel that Liao will retreat without a fight." Wen Shen chuckled and said, "No matter what, you arrange the army to set off now."

    ¡­¡­

    Half a month later, 50,000 troops arrived in Taiyuan Mansion.  At the same time, Wen Shen sent a telegram to Liu Fa of Xingqing Mansion, asking him to send troops north to attack the Liao Kingdom, and agreed to meet at Datong Mansion in Xijing of the Liao Kingdom.

    After leaving Taiyuan Prefecture and heading north a short distance, we entered the territory of Liao Kingdom.

    As Wen Shen thought, after several tentative resistances, the Liao Kingdom retreated across the board when they saw that the situation was unstoppable.  In less than ten days, the army occupied Datong Mansion.

    On the western front, Liu Fa led an army of 50,000 troops, penetrated the entire Xijing Road, and successfully arrived at Datong Prefecture.  At this point, all the sixteen states of Yanyun given to the Liao Dynasty by Shi Jingtang of the Later Tang Dynasty were recovered.  The northern defense line, which had been lost for more than a hundred years, was back in the hands of the Han people.

    Datong Mansion was modified by the Liao Kingdom after it occupied this place. It was originally called Yunzhong Mansion.  Therefore, Wen Shen followed history and changed Datong Mansion to Yunzhong Mansion, and changed Xijing Road to Yunzhong Mansion Road.

    As the Xijing of the Liao Kingdom, the construction of Yunzhong Mansion is quite good, especially the imperial palace has a Han style.  However, there was not a large population in Yunzhong Mansion at this time. The main reason was that when the Liao Kingdom retreated, most of the people followed the Liao Army to evacuate to other places.

    "Grand Master, after a few years of lack of energy you are still the same as before. I have aged a lot." In the palace hall, Liu Fa led several of his troops to pay homage to Wen Shen.

    Wen Shen smiled faintly and said, "General Liu's style remains the same. Everything has been fine in the northwest these years, right?"

    "It's so good that since we have firearms, it's easy to deal with those barbarians. Life is much better than before. In the past, wars cost hundreds of thousands and tens of millions of dollars, and there was no benefit. Now,  A few thousand people can defeat those Fanzi." Liu Fa said happily, "By the way, Grand Master, should we destroy Beiliao in one go?"

    Wen Shen waved his hand, "It's not necessary for now, let's talk about it later."

    ¡­¡­

    Not long after, Yelu Yanxi removed the title of emperor and changed his title to king. He recognized the Song Dynasty as his suzerainty and sent his prince to Kaifeng as a hostage.

    This news quickly became the headline of the Times Weekly of the Song Dynasty. Wen Shen's reputation among the people of the Song Dynasty rose rapidly. Grand celebrations were held everywhere, including fireworks, lion dances, and dragon dances.???The whole country was immersed in joy.

    At the same time, Yunzhong government officials were appointed to various places one after another.  In order to strengthen connections between various places, Wen Shen felt that it was necessary to speed up the construction of railways.  To this end, Wenshen allocated hundreds of millions of yuan to Zhang Junbao to recruit and train more people to invest in railway construction.

    I have to say that having money can really make things work.  The capital investment of hundreds of millions suddenly sparked the interest of domestic landlords and businessmen in investing in the industry.  Especially related to railways, cement factories, sleeper factories, coal mines, iron mines, gravel factories have sprung up along the railway lines.

    And the people along the railway line also benefited from it and made a little fortune.  It turned out that the railway needed a lot of stones, so the people along the line mobilized their families, old and young, to smash stones and then sold them to the construction team.
