    Unlike the Mongol Khanate, which wanted to join China, the Song Dynasty tried its best to preserve the status quo. From Zhao Kuo down, they were afraid to avoid Han Zhongwei's proposal.  Their demands were simple and stubborn. The emperor and the Song court must be preserved.  Moreover, Han Zhongwei's implementation of per-acre taxation in China, where officials and gentry paid the grain together, also made the officials and gentry of the Song Dynasty very angry and frightened. If the Song Dynasty was annexed to China, would such a policy also be implemented in Jiangnan?  Therefore, the private conversation between Han Wanzhou and Xin Qiji was very pleasant. The two shared the achievements of Han Zhongwei in China. Now Han Zhongwei is the leader of China, and Han Wanzhou, Han Zhongwei's father, is also the father of the leader of China.  The land of the original Jin Kingdom and Xixia was more than two Song Dynasties combined.  If we add Mongolia, there will be more than four Song Dynasties.  They both heard about the Mongol Khanate's request to be incorporated into China.  They remembered very clearly that at the beginning, Han Zhongwei regarded Mongolia as more important than the Kingdom of Jin. In order to deal with the Mongols first, he would rather turn the feud into friendship with the Kingdom of Jin first.  But now, the Mongol Khanate is willing to merge into China unconditionally. What an achievement is this?  Now seventy percent of the world is in the hands of Han Zhongwei, and the remaining countries such as Xiliao, Tubo, and Dali can be taken into his possession at any time as long as Han Zhongwei is willing.  Han Wanzhou and Xin Qiji were very interested when talking about Han Zhongwei. Sometimes they could even chat all night long, talking about everything about China, everything about Han Zhongwei, and everything they knew about China and Han Zhongwei.  .  But on official matters, the two couldn't come to an agreement, and there was nothing they could do about it. In private, Han Wanzhou had carefully analyzed and studied with Xin Qiji, and the Song Dynasty was unwilling to merge with China.  The Song Kingdom is not like the Jin Kingdom and Xixia. Their life was already very good. After being merged into China, life may not be as good as it is now.  Especially the officials and gentry of Song State, their vested interests are in Song State. Once Song State is merged into China, these interests will be wiped out.  They would rather fight Han Zhongwei than give up the benefits they have obtained.  And these people also know that Han Zhongwei is from the Song Dynasty. Does Han Zhongwei's army dare to attack the Song Dynasty?  During this time, almost all the ministers entered the palace to meet with the official Zhao Kuo. They all expressed their loyalty and would not hesitate to fight China for the sake of the Song Dynasty.  "Master Xin, Zhongwei really has no intention of fighting the Song Dynasty?" Han Wanzhou also heard a lot of news about this during this period. Now his negotiation with Xin Qiji has become the most important priority of the Song Dynasty.  , as long as he went to court, unless Han Wanzhou had not negotiated with Xin Qiji, he would definitely be surrounded by ministers in the court, talking all about the affairs between China and the Song Dynasty.  Almost everyone unanimously opposed the annexation of the Song Dynasty to China, and some ministers even asked Han Wanzhou in advance, why should the Song Dynasty be annexed to China instead of China being annexed to the Song Dynasty?  "The king hopes to fight the Song Dynasty in a peaceful way. This is definitely not what he wants to see." Xin Qiji shook his head firmly. Han Zhongwei told him before coming that he could threaten the Song Dynasty with war.  , but there must be no real war with the Song Dynasty. Han Zhongwei is originally from the Song Dynasty. As a Han, he can wage war with foreigners unscrupulously, but with the Song Dynasty, he really cannot do this.  This is Han Zhongwei's bottom line and his only weakness. If the people of Song knew that Han Zhongwei would not fight with them, they would probably have less worries.  "This is a bit troublesome. I'm afraid the Song Dynasty will not surrender without a fight." Han Wanzhou sighed. The main reason why the DPRK and the Central Committee opposed the annexation to China so fiercely was that once it was annexed to China  It will affect their vested interests. In the face of their selfish interests, they will never take into account the lives of Song people. As for the lives of Han people in other countries, it is even less within their scope of consideration.  "No matter how troublesome it is, we must solve this matter. The unification of the world is the general trend. If such a thing can be completed in our hands, history will leave us a mark." Xin Qiji is over sixty years old. In such a situation  In the era, he is definitely considered to be an old man. Therefore, he knows that his time is running out. He did not directly participate in the events between the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, but for the Song Dynasty, he is bound to win. This  It is an opportunity for China, an opportunity for him, Xin Qiji, and an opportunity for all Han people in the world. "But our negotiations have been going on for several months, and there has not been much progress. Are you really not in a hurry?" Han Wanzhou  Sighed.  "How could I not be anxious? It can be said that I have been very anxious during this period, but you have no sincerity at all about annexing China. Some people even came to persuade me to annex China to the Song Dynasty. It is really a big joke" Xin Qiji said to  This matter is also very troublesome. He was originally a minister of the Song Dynasty, but now he is negotiating with the Song Dynasty as a Chinese official. Although Zhao Kuo is in awe of him, those who have high visionsThe top pedantic civil servants looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. He was originally an official of the Jin Kingdom, and later defected to the Song Dynasty, and now he changed his tune and went to China to serve Han Zhongwei. I am afraid that except for a few officials of the Song Dynasty, they all  He was extremely contemptuous of him.  "I think it's best for you to go back and tell Zhongwei in detail what happened here and let him make an idea. He has already taken care of the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, and even Mongolia took the initiative to request to be merged into China. Now he still has  Are you afraid that you won't be able to handle the small Song Dynasty? "Although Han Wanzhou is a political official of the Song Dynasty, these words are definitely from Han Zhongwei's standpoint, and he is definitely on China's side.  "No need, my daily activities here, as well as all the conversations I have with you, will be sent back as soon as possible."  , he asked me to tell you in advance that he will live in Zhongfu, and at the same time, he asked you to send his wife to Zhongfu. He wants to see his mother. " "Really?" Han Wanzhou said in surprise.  He has an inexplicable trust in Han Zhongwei. As long as Han Zhongwei comes to Lin'an, he believes that this matter will be resolved satisfactorily. No matter what Zhao Kuo and the ministers in the DPRK think, in front of Han Zhongwei, all this will not be a problem.  .  "Yes, the king is in Mongolia during this period. As the king expected, the Mongolian Khanate cannot be merged into China for the time being. I know what the king means. At present, the Song Dynasty, which he values ??the most, will not be solved until the Song Dynasty's problem is solved.  , He will not accept the merger of the Mongol Khanate. He does not want the Song Dynasty to be merged into China, not to mention that now is not the best time for the Mongol Khanate to merge into China." Xin Qiji said with a smile, Han Zhongwei is coming,  It also made the burden on him suddenly lighter.  Although it was an excellent opportunity for him to incorporate Song into China, if he failed to complete this task, this opportunity would also turn into a shame.  "It seems that he really values ??the Song Dynasty. As long as he comes, this matter will have a happy ending." Han Wanzhou nodded. The Mongolian Khanate wanted to merge with China, but Han Zhongwei did not accept it.  , therefore, he made a special trip to Mongolia to ask Mongolia to hold a referendum, which ultimately aborted Jamukha's plan.  "By the way, is he coming in a public or private capacity?" "I think he is coming in private. You think, the king has designated to live in the Zhong Mansion, so of course he does not want his identity to be made public. Therefore, I have been at odds with each other these days.  Now that you have met, you have to renovate the Zhong Mansion to welcome the arrival of the king." Xin Qiji said with a smile. Now every negotiation between him and Han Wanzhou is boring. Instead of having boring chats, it is better to do something.  Specific things.  "Okay, if you need anything, just come to my house and bring it over." Han Wanzhou said. In fact, he really hoped that Han Zhongwei could live in the Han Mansion, but in the blink of an eye, if he really did live in the Han Mansion, what would happen to him?  It is very detrimental to oneself.  First of all, it will make people pay more attention to the relationship between Han Zhongwei and himself, which is actually the official family. The most important reason why he is able to do Pingzhang political affairs now is not how strong or capable he is, but the state's support for Zhao Kuo.  own trust.  If this trust disappears, can one still maintain his position?  Although Han Zhongwei is now the leader of China, it seems that he does not need to do this Pingzhang political affairs in the Song Dynasty anymore, but before the Song Dynasty was merged into China, his status as a Pingzhang political affairs can help him faster and more efficiently.  Successfully complete the great cause of unifying the world.  "Okay, I wonder if the king has any favorite and commonly used furniture? If so, I think it would be best to bring it to the Zhong Mansion." Xin Qiji said.  "Wellit doesn't seem to be there." Han Wanzhou said embarrassedly. When Han Zhongwei lived in the Han Mansion, he was just a concubine. At the beginning, he was Han Zhongyi's follower, and he lived where servants lived.  Although there is a small courtyard in the front yard, there is really no useful furniture in it.  "Forget it, in fact, Zhong Mansion has undergone several major renovations in recent years. Although the place is still the same, the inside is completely different. The wine workshop has also been moved out, and the original wine cellar has been converted into a secret room.  "It uses a lot of cement and bamboo, and the layout is very strange."  Without being taken seriously, otherwise, Han Zhongwei would not have only Han Zhongyi serving beside him now.  You must know that the Han family is now considered a famous family, with thousands of members. Han Zhongwei is the leader of the country in China, and there is no reason for these people not to join him.  But in fact, as far as Xin Qiji knew, not many of his clansmen went to Han Zhongwei.  Han Zhongwei came by boat ten days later and arrived at Zhongfu directly through the canal without alerting anyone except his men in Lin'an.  Now Han Zhongwei has more properties in Lin'an than before, and accordingly, he has more manpower.  In the beginning, it was just a wine and warehouse, and later Liu QingOpened a supermarket.  As Han Zhongwei's status and strength in Xixia became stronger and stronger, he needed to introduce more and more goods from Lin'an. Therefore, there are at least dozens of large warehouses in Lin'an now run by Han Zhongwei's men, in order to be able to  Transported a large amount of goods from the Song Dynasty to China.  As soon as Han Zhongwei arrived, he immediately summoned Xin Qiji. He was not here for enjoyment, let alone a vacation, but to solve problems and solve the problems of the Song Dynasty.  In the underground secret room, Han Zhongwei listened carefully to Xin Qiji's report. Although Xin Qiji would send daily content to China before, after all, he did not report in such detail in person.  Xin Qiji had actually stayed in Lin'an for nearly half a year, and the negotiations with Song State did not reach agreement on the most critical issues.  The Song State was willing to continue to pay tribute to China in accordance with the standards of the Jin State, and even accepted the original relationship between Xixia and the Jin State and changed it from an uncle's country to a vassal state.  However, if the Song State was to become part of China, everyone in the Song State would not agree, except for a few people except Han Wanzhou.  Even the ministers of the Song State, including former colleagues of Xin Qiji, even came to lobby Xin Qiji to allow China to be annexed to the Song State. I didn't know that they were so thick-skinned and dared to propose such conditions.  .  "So, the Song Dynasty definitely does not want to be merged into China?" Han Zhongwei listened quietly, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly.  "Yes, these people are really blinded by lard, and they are determined not to give in on this matter. Some people even ridiculously suggested to me that since the leader of the country is from the Song Dynasty, he will fight for the Song Dynasty and the world should be allowed to China.  Incorporate into the Song Dynasty," Xin Qiji said angrily.  "You can renegotiate the terms with Song State tomorrow. They can become a vassal state of China. However, Song State's army must be controlled by us. As long as we control their army, Song State will essentially be incorporated."  Han Zhongwei said.  "I'm afraid this issue is not easy to discuss. Now everyone in the world knows how you brought the Jin Kingdom and Xixia into your pocket. Now if you mention the army, the Song Kingdom will definitely be frightened. Even if you agree to such conditions?" Xin Qi  Ji smiled bitterly and said that he had also talked about the army with Han Wanzhou. The Song army was much worse than the Jin army. He suggested that the escort army be used to train the Song army. But as soon as this condition was put forward,  Han Wanzhou expressed clear opposition.  Although Han Wanzhou was on the side of Han Zhongwei from the bottom of his heart, he also knew that with the lessons learned from the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, which Song Dynasty person would agree to give the army to Han Zhongwei?  Even during this period, Zhao Kuo has strengthened his control over the army. Originally, the Song Dynasty emphasized culture over military affairs, but now it has intensified.  Not only were all military generals above the capital commander appointed by civilian officials, all military general appointments must be approved by Zhao Kuohe. Even Han Wanzhou could not appoint generals at will.  Even Han Zhongwei's father-in-law, Zhao Yuyan's envoy, was suddenly transferred and returned to the capital to continue serving as his Minister of Industry.  It can be seen how deeply the Song Dynasty was afraid of Han Zhongwei. If Han Wanzhou was not deeply entrenched in the court now, I am afraid that his position in Pingzhang political affairs would not be stable.  "It seems that I have a good reputation." Han Zhongwei smiled. If the Song Dynasty does not strengthen control over the army now, then the Song Dynasty will really be completely ruined. Sometimes people change because of external circumstances.  Now that Han Zhongwei has controlled the army, he has wiped out the Jin Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom, which are more powerful than the Song Kingdom. How can the Song Kingdom not be nervous about its own army?  "I think the best way is to fight the Song Dynasty. Only by beating them painfully and frightening them will the Song Dynasty know how big the gap is between them and us. Only in this way can we make them realize clearly that they are not the same as us."  It is impossible to enter China," Xin Qiji said. Without the threat of war, it was impossible to persuade the Song Dynasty.  "You and I are both Song people, can you bear to see the Han people killing each other? There are thousands of Song troops in this guard now. Although they are completely loyal to me now, if we really let them fight with the Song Dynasty, I will  I think these people will definitely not be willing." Han Zhongwei shook his head slightly and let the guards fight with the Song Dynasty. This was not the best idea after all.  "If we can't fight, it will be difficult to complete this mission." Xin Qiji sighed.  "Brother Xin, there's no need to be in such a hurry. You can't make a fat man with one bite, and it's unrealistic for Song State to be integrated into China in a short period of time. I can wait, it doesn't matter for three or five years, I'm not in a hurry.  " Han Zhongwei chuckled.  "As long as there is no war, let alone three to five years, even if it is thirty to fifty years, the Song Dynasty will still have such an attitude." Xin Qiji sighed.  "Does Zhao Kuo have any heirs?" Han Zhongwei suddenly asked.  "No, why is the king suddenly concerned about this issue?" Xin Qiji asked in surprise. While they were talking about whether to go to war with the Song Dynasty, Han Zhongwei mentioned Zhao Kuo's heirs. This was quite unreasonable.  &nbsp"Zhao Kuo is the king of a country. Of course I have to care about whether he has any heirs. Brother Xin, what do you think will happen to the Song Kingdom if Zhao Kuo never has heirs?" Han Zhongwei asked.  "If we didn't watch from the sidelines, the Song State would be fine, but now not only do we have a powerful China, but our father Han is also the political official of the Song State. Once Zhao Kuo really has no heirs, the Song State will be in danger." Xin Qiji somewhat understood Han Zhongwei.  It makes sense, but such a wait is too long. Zhao Kuo is not yet forty now. Who knows whether there will be a queen in the future?  Wanyan Jing was able to get the two concubines pregnant at the last moment, couldn't Zhao Kuo do the same?  "Yes, but such a wait takes a long time and requires a lot of patience. No one knows what choice Zhao Kuo will make when he jumps over the wall in a hurry." Han Zhongwei also sighed slightly, Song  Since the country moved south to Lin'an, the emperor had no heirs many times. This is the case with Zhao Kuo's father now. At that time, Zhao Shen also had no heirs, which gave Zhao Dun an advantage.  If Zhao Kuo had no heirs, I don¡¯t know which prince would be favored.  "My lord, the affairs of the Song Dynasty are enough and the nights are long and the dreams are too many. I suggest that we should fight with them. If we can't dispatch the escort, can we let other countries fight the Song Dynasty?" Xin Qiji suddenly had an idea.  "You mean Jamukha of the Mongol Khanate?" Han Zhongwei asked quickly. If the Mongol Khanate were allowed to fight with the Song State, there could only be one ending for the Song State. The Song State would be defeated. This has been proven by history.  Although Jamukha did not have as good a military talent as Temujin, the Mongolian cavalry was no different from Kublai Khan's army. Not to mention they also had firearms, even with their scimitars and long bows, Han Zhongwei believed that the Song Dynasty  Definitely no match for the Mongolian cavalry.     forward from( )
