    Chapter 262: Dingji Grassland Wanyan Xun got up early. After washing, he dressed neatly and went out alone without any entourage.  There is a thin morning mist floating in the sky, it seems that today is a good weather.  When he arrived at the translation office, Wan Yanxun did not go in directly, but asked someone from the translation office to go in and report that although he was the prince of Dajin, he could not put on the airs of a prince in front of Han Zhongwei.  Not to mention that in front of Han Zhongwei, even if only Ding Chuan or Zhang Zhongtong were here, Wanyan Xun could only treat him with courtesy. You must know that Wanyan Xun had another identity before, a squad leader of the Black City Guards. At that time, he  But they were subordinates of Ding Chuan and Zhang Zhongtong.  But what Wan Yanxun did made the officials of the translation office panic. Although they also knew that this prince from Xixia was very important, otherwise the emperor would not have sent him to the translation office in person yesterday.  But this early in the morning, Wan Yanxun, the prince of Dajin, came to visit, and he followed the courtesy, which had never happened before.  Dajin is the largest country in the world. No matter whether it is an official from Song or Xixia, the emperor or prince has never been to the translation office. This time, thanks to the prince of Xixia, I saw the emperor yesterday and again today.  Prince.  Under the guidance of the translation office officials, Wanyan Xun soon met Han Zhongwei. As soon as he saw Han Zhongwei, Wanyan Xun knelt on the ground with a thump and knocked three times just like he had done in the Black City.  Wanyan Xun¡¯s behavior frightened the officials of the translation office next to him. The prince of his country actually kowtowed to the prince of Xixia?  This completely overturned their ideas, but they were not allowed to think too much at that time. Everyone knelt down together, followed Wanyan Xun, and kowtowed to Han Zhongwei three times.  "What are you doing? I'm saluting because, hum, you are not qualified to salute King Xia, get out of here." Wanyan Xun heard a sound of kowtow coming from behind. After saluting, he stood up and shouted loudly  scolded.  "Disciple, it's good to come so early to pay my respects to my master. It's true that you should respect your master and teach your children." Han Zhongwei sat at the top and accepted Wanyan Xun's gift calmly and said with a smile.  "Thank you, Master." Wanyan Xun didn't care at all about Han Zhongwei's old-fashioned attitude. He sat down and started with Han Zhongwei with a smile.  The words "disciple" and "master" made the officials of the translation office who had not yet had time to retreat were so frightened that their legs became weak. Oh my god, no wonder he has such a great reputation. It turns out that this prince from Xixia is actually Prince Wanyanxun.  Master, if this spreads out, who will dare to show off in front of King Xia in the future?  You must know that even the emperor personally sent King Xia back to the translation office last night. At that time, he thought that King Xia was treated like this because of his ancestors' merit. But now it seems that this is not the case at all. It really depends on seniority.  Yan Jing is still the junior of King Xia.  "Are you here for business or private reasons?" Han Zhongwei asked after seeing Wanyan Xun dressed in the clothes of a Jin official and asking his servants to bring tea.  "It's both public and private. You are my master. When I arrive in Zhongdu, if I don't come over early to say hello, and if outsiders know about it, I'm afraid I will be drowned in other people's spit. There is only one thing for the public. I listen.  He said that Master brought a lot of gifts, but he didn't see the gift list yesterday" Wanyan Xun said, in fact, the reason why he got up so early was more factors than the following incident.  He and Han Zhongwei were masters and disciples in name, but in fact they were both teachers and friends. Although Wanyan Xun was more than ten years older than Han Zhongwei, Wanyan Xun seemed to have never considered this issue when he was with Han Zhongwei. Han Zhongwei  He didn't behave like a teenager at all. Wanyan Jing had the same idea as Wanyan Xun after meeting Han Zhongwei for the first time yesterday.  "I brought a gift? Why didn't I know it?" Han Zhongwei asked in surprise.  "Master, please don't lie to me. Do your two thousand guards need to use a thousand carts of baggage? Are those carts loaded with gifts or empty?" Wanyan Xun felt a little funny. Han Zhongwei was a typical deceiver.  , people all over the world can guess the inside story just by seeing his motorcade, but until now he still doesn't admit it.  "You are indeed right about this. More than 90% of the thousand carriages are empty, preparing to bring gifts back from Dajin." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.  "What?" Wanyan stood up in confusion. He had seen shameless people, but he had never heard of such a shameless person as Han Zhongwei. Today was an eye-opener. It was ridiculous that he would worship him as his teacher in the first place. Could it be that his  Is the dog blind too?  "Disciple, you don't need to panic. The person who wants to give me a gift is Dai Jin and not you. Why are you panicking?" Han Zhongwei blushed at Wanyan Xun's performance. Wasn't it worth it if he had made some preparations in advance?  All the fuss.  "Master, you really don't regard yourself as an outsider, and you actually drove a thousand empty carriages to Zhongdu. If the Holy One finds out, I wonder what he will think?" Wan Yanxun shook his head and smiled bitterly.? said.  ¡°He would say that I plan ahead and see things clearly.¡± Han Zhongwei said with a smile.  "Master, you are the only one in the world who has such confidence." Wan Yanxun had no way to deal with Han Zhongwei. One cannot be so shameless.  "If a person doesn't even have self-confidence, is there any need to live in this world? Well, you have met me, and now I have to meet your brother the emperor." Han Zhongwei came to Zhongdu not just for a tour.  Playing with water, Du Gao has already brought a division of people into the grassland. Han Zhongwei has now intervened in the grassland hegemony. But on the surface, this matter is to stand up for Dai Jin. No one in this world except Han Zhongwei will know that as long as  If Temujin is given another ten years, or even five years, there will be no match for him in the world.  Therefore, Han Zhongwei must take advantage of this opportunity. Not to say that he must not kill Temujin, but at least to ensure that his Qiyan tribe has no soil for survival.  When he was in the translation office, Wanyan Xun followed the etiquette and asked someone to inform him before going to see Han Zhongwei under the guidance of others.  But in the palace, Han Zhongwei walked straight in. Who asked him to be accompanied by the emperor's brother, the prince of Dajin.  When they arrived at the main hall, Han Zhongwei was not pretentious. He saluted Wanyan Jing according to the etiquette of Xixia. Of course, Wanyan Jing quickly offered a seat, and except for Wanyan Xun as his companion, he retreated to the left and right, and the three of them stayed alone in the main hall.  among.  "Your Majesty, Prince Wanyan, you may be curious as to why I suddenly came to Zhongdu and brought a thousand empty carriages with me. It's actually very simple, because I am currently helping Daikin to do something. You say that the emperor is not hungry.  Soldier, I'm here to ask for food and military pay." Han Zhongwei had just looked at this scenic spot that he had visited in later generations. He didn't expect that he could be there now, and Han Zhongwei was also sighing in his heart.  "Food, grass and military pay?" Wanyanjing and his two brothers were confused. Han Zhongwei was the prince of Xixia. If he wanted food, grass and military pay, he should go to Li An'an. Why did he come to Zhongdu Mansion?  "Yes, food, grass and military pay, because I have sent people to lead 10,000 people into the grassland, ready to assist Jamuka of the Plateau Zatara tribe against Temujin of the Qiyan tribe." Han Zhongwei said slowly.  "What? Your people entered the grassland?" Wanyan stood up with a look of shock.  If Han Zhongwei had made such a move ten years ago, he would definitely have turned against him. The northern grasslands were Dai Jin's territory, and no one except Dai Jin's troops could enter.  But now, his face was full of surprise, because now Dajin's army can't enter the grassland, so it would be good to guard his border.  "Yes, a total of 10,000 people, accompanied by Zhamuhe, the chief of the Zhadara tribe on the plateau, have entered the grassland for almost a month." Han Zhongwei nodded and said firmly.  ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± Wanyan Xun said happily.  "I dare to ask Lord Han, why did you send troops into the grassland?" Wanyan Jing was also very happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she wanted to ask Han Zhongwei for guilt.  "Those tribes on the Mongolian grasslands not only often invade your borders, but also often invade our borders in Daxia. If the tribes in the grasslands can be internalized, it will not only reduce our pressure, but also make it easier to control the Mongols in the future. This matter originally  You, Daijin, should have sent troops, but at that time Jamukha suddenly found me and went to Black City in person. Not only did he want to buy firearms, but he also asked me to send troops to help him unify the Mongolian tribes.  Outsiders, even if they send troops for Dai Jin, will Dai Jin still treat me badly in the future? Therefore, he sent 10,000 people without hesitation and brought enough firearms, which is enough to make Jamuka's tribe the strongest on the grassland.  tribe." Han Zhongwei said slowly, and his meaning was very clear. If it weren't for the fact that Wan Yanxun was his disciple, he would not send troops anyway.  Soldiers are a major matter for the country, so how can we send out troops casually?  Now that I have contributed people and efforts, you can't ask me to contribute more money, right?  "Of course, if you two feel that I have overstepped my bounds, I will immediately order people to recover the army." Han Zhongwei added, if you feel that the situation on the Mongolian grassland can be controlled by yourself, then I will ignore this matter.  "Master, no, Lord Han, did you say that your ten thousand people entered the grassland with enough firearms?" Wan Yanxun asked.  "I brought tens of thousands of landmines and 100,000 grenades. I think that's enough, right? By the way, I forgot to tell you something. Before entering the grassland, Temujin of the Qiyan Department got the news from nowhere.  , actually wanted to ambush Jamukha, but ended up shooting himself in the foot. He sent 10,000 people to ambush, but in the end the entire army was wiped out." Han Zhongwei said.  Ten thousand Mongolian cavalry?  Now even Wanyan Jing no longer bothered to pretend to be calm. Now only the Jin Kingdom knew the power of the Mongolian cavalry best, and the cavalry of the Qiyan tribe were the best among the Mongolian cavalry, and their combat effectiveness was even more astonishing.  Without the assistance of firearms, at least 50,000 or even 100,000 would be needed.Only 10,000 Mongolian cavalry could be defeated by the cavalry of the Imperial Army, but now, Han Zhongwei casually said that he had wiped out 10,000 Qiyan cavalry. Not to mention how many troops he dispatched, the result alone was shocking enough.  ¡°I wonder how many troops you dispatched at that time?¡± Wanyan Jing asked after calming down.  "Jamuka brought 2,000 people at that time, and we also sent out 2,000 people." Han Zhongwei picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said lightly, as if this was an insignificant matter.  Four thousand people?  Wanyan Jing and Wanyan Xun looked at each other in shock, which was completely beyond their common sense.  Even though Wanyan Xun had been the squad leader of the Black City Guards for three months, he still couldn't believe the news that 10,000 Mongolian cavalry could be accomplished with only 4,000 men.  "Yes, this is a firearm that is of benefit to us. The terrain at that time was somewhat special. It was a valley with miles of gentle slopes on both sides, which was very suitable for cavalry raids. But no matter how powerful the Qiyan tribe was, they had never seen the power of mines.  At that time, Jamukha got the news in advance and sent people to plant a large number of mines on the two gentle slopes. As a result, if the Qiyan tribe launched a surprise attack, they would only die. Moreover, even if they woke up at that time, they could not change the special terrain.  The best result is that the cavalry is highly mobile, but it is impossible to stop within a few breaths." Han Zhongwei briefly introduced the situation at that time, and the main reason to eliminate the Qiyan tribe was with firearms.  As for the power of Han Zhongwei's firearms, Wan Yixun has the most say. You must know that he relied on Han Zhongwei's mines to easily defeat his opponents and achieve impressive results.  This explanation also relieved Wanyan Jing and Wanyan Xun.  If the two armies really faced off in the plains, and four thousand men were wiped out against ten thousand, then they would probably be afraid of Han Zhongwei.  The next thing will be easy to handle. Wanyanjing is very happy to see Han Zhongwei's army enter the grassland. Of course, he also hopes to send an army to "assist" Jamukha in completing his great cause of unification.  In this regard, Han Zhongwei also "happily agreed". The Jin Kingdom wanted to send troops, and the symbolic meaning was far greater than the actual meaning. Their function was not to fight, but to inquire about information.  As for the material requirements put forward by Han Zhongwei, Wanyan Jing also agreed to all. As for the treatment of Han Zhongwei's army, Wanyan Jing paid military pay according to the treatment of the emperor's personal soldiers, and also paid it for one year at a time.  Let Han Zhongwei take back the military pay and distribute it on his behalf.  In addition, grain and grass were handled in the same way, all converted into money, and Han Zhongwei replenished it on his behalf.  Regarding the future trend of the grassland, Han Zhongwei also had a cordial and friendly discussion with Wanyan Jing. Wanyan Jing basically agreed with Han Zhongwei¡¯s judgment that in the near future, the Mongolian grassland will be unified.  But who should unify? Wanyan Jing and Han Zhongwei had different opinions. Wanyan Jing meant that King Khan of the Kelie tribe was the most qualified to become the largest king in Mongolia, while Han Zhongwei bluntly pointed out that except Jamuka  Only Temujin has this qualification, and no one else can.  And now that he supports Jamukha, the possibility of Temujin wanting to unify the various Mongolian tribes is close to zero. Unless he can travel back in time and let Temujin's soul enter his body, even if he dies suddenly and unexpectedly,  There will be no change in the established strategies of various tribes in the Mongolian grasslands, and Jamuka will definitely win the final victory.  Han Zhongwei actually also knew that the reason why Wanyan Jing thought that the king of the Kelei tribe would unify the grassland was also a covert objection to him. The Mongolian grassland was the sphere of influence of the Jin Dynasty. If the Great Khan who unified the grassland could not be unified by the Jin Kingdom,  Control, unless he can defeat the Jin Kingdom's army, he will not allow this situation to occur.  "Holy Majesty, since you think that King Khan of the Keleb tribe will unify all the tribes on the Mongolian grassland, you can support him openly and honestly. I believe that with the support of Dajin, King Khan of the Keleb tribe may also have a chance.  "Han Zhongwei suddenly thought of an idea. Yes, a unified Mongolian tribe is neither in line with the intentions of the Jin Kingdom nor Han Zhongwei's original intention.  Although Han Zhongwei had a hundred ways to control Jamuhe in his hands after he unified the Mongolian grasslands, people's greed will slowly grow and become bigger and bigger.  When he was in the Black City, maybe Jamuka would obey his orders, but what if he left?  Therefore, the unified Mongolian grassland is not in line with Han Zhongwei's wishes.  Unless one's own people personally control the various tribes on the Mongolian grassland, one cannot be completely at ease by borrowing the hands of others.  "You mean that Dajin will support King Khan of the Kelei tribe, and you will continue to support Jamuka, and they will fight each other until all the blood of the Mongols is wiped out?" Wanyan Jing is such a smart person.  He was so proficient in these conspiracies and he quickly understood Han Zhongwei's intentions.  A unified Mongolian grassland obviously cannot make him, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, feel at ease, but a Mongolia that can invade the border at any time is not easy to worry about. The best way is to let them fight internally. Behind the combination of King Khan and Jamu of the Keli tribe, JinZhu and Han Zhongwei are very powerful. As long as they use their troops, they don't need to worry about logistical support. This will also allow them to go all out to defeat their opponents.  "The one who knows me is the Holy One." Han Zhongwei said with a smile. He just had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of it, but Wanyan Jing immediately realized this after his subtle reminder. It seems that this person is also a talented person.  People.  "If this plan works, then there will be no more wars at our border." Wanyanjing said with a smile on her face. Now the Jin Kingdom looks extremely powerful, but he, the financial backer, understands best that this is just a glamorous appearance. In fact, the Jin Kingdom has been very powerful recently.  Internal and external troubles were everywhere during the year. There were many peasant uprisings every year. There were even some remnants of the Song Dynasty who wanted to drive away the Jin people. In addition, the Mongols invaded the border from time to time and used Jurchens from more than a hundred years ago.  Strategies to deal with the Song people.  Although Wanyan Jing is very aware of how big a hidden danger the Mongols are, the Jin people today are no different from the Song people more than a hundred years ago. They are really helpless against such Mongols.  Now Han Zhongwei suddenly proposed such a method. The Jin Kingdom would only need to provide some weapons, money and food to make the Mongolian tribes fight among themselves. Why not?  At this moment, Wanyan Jing is looking forward to the future on the Mongolian grassland. As long as the Mongolian tribes are dealt with, she will be free to manage internal affairs, and then the golden age will truly come.  But Wanyanjing only cared about being happy in her heart, but she never thought about Han Zhongwei's true identity?  The Song people and the Han people were both enemies of him as the financial owner, and they might even be mortal enemies.     tidy( )
