Chapter 67 Candidates for the Song Envoy
Yang Yingqi knocked on Huining on the map and muttered to himself: "If the spy report is correct, I'm afraid that the Liao envoy Xi Nilie happens to be in Huining, and this time it's lively......"
After the annexation of the nine villages of the Han Department, the "emperor's village" of Huining finally became like a city. Although after the main body of the Han Dynasty moved south, there were significantly fewer merchants from the north. But after all, this is the capital of the emerging powers, and the nobles and powerful are gathered here, so the population and logistics are very prosperous - of course, this prosperity is also relative to the northeast land, if it is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, it can still only be regarded as a second- or third-rate town.
After Wu Qimai, Xianye, Hulugu, Zonggan and others occupied Han Village, their tribal families lived in brick houses in Han Village and planted Han fields, and they were very proud of their master's occupation of such a good place.
But when Yang Pu came back this time, he found that the crops in the original Han Village were not as good as in the past, thinking that it was because of the poor management of the Jurchens.
The Han tribe also maintained a western village in Huining, which was a settlement for those who were reluctant to move south. Orihiko Chong also lived here when he was in Huining. In addition to the villagers, there were also 500 soldiers of Zhi Yanchong stationed in the West Village, most of whom were selected from the 160 cavalry at the beginning, and they were not only elite but also loyal.
The Great Song envoy arrived outside Huining City after sunset, and Zhiyanchong sent his nephew Pu Luhu to meet him. Pu Luhu is Zongxiong's eldest son, and several of Zongxiong's sons admire their heroic uncle, and they often pester Orihiko in their daily lives, and Zongxiong can't help but get involved. After Pu Luhu was fifteen years old, Zhi Yanchong picked ten warriors in the West Village, let Pu Luhu be the captain, and when he had nothing to do, he would talk to him about the art of war and martial arts, and promised to take him into battle if there was a big war next time.
Pu Luhu had to be taught by Yan Chong and Di Yu, and when he was a child, he often turned around Cao Guangbi and Yang Yingqi, which was very different from ordinary Jurchen teenagers - he had little beard on his body, but he was brave and brave, and the people and horses who greeted him were meticulous under his command, and he immediately answered Yang Pu very methodically, and there was a faint style of his father's civil and military skills.
After listening to Pu Luhu's words, Zhao Liangsi and others knew that Zhi Yanchong and his wife had entered the palace in the evening, but they had already made arrangements for the arrival of the mission, so they were taken into the village by Pu Luhu on behalf of his uncle to settle down. Although Puruhu is young, he handles everything in an orderly manner. Zhao Liangsi, Ma Zheng and others saw that a Jurchen boy like Puluhu was also so capable, and they had their own feelings in their hearts.
This night, Zhiyan Chong did not return all night, and on the second day, Yan Xiyin came to inquire and exchange courtesy. Zhao Liangsi urged Wan Yan Xiyin to see the gold lord as soon as possible, Wan Yan Xiyin said: "My lord has other important matters today, and he will definitely summon him tomorrow." ”
In the evening, Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zheng discussed: "Today's Wanyan Xiyin has some prevarication, could it be that something happened?" I wanted to ask Yang Pu, but the attendant replied that Lord Yang had also entered the palace.
The outside of the West Village was full of Hu Qi, and Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zheng were afraid and did not dare to leave the village. Although the Jurchens were polite to them, they were actually very strict, and when they first arrived in a foreign land, Zhao Liangsi couldn't go out to inquire.
Ma Zheng and the others suddenly missed Jinmen - although it was also a "foreign" place, everything made the people from the Song Dynasty feel comfortable. And in this place, it seems that even the wind wafting in the air smells of nonsense! They also had a hard time communicating with Wanyan Xiyin, a relatively Chinese Jurchen, not only because of Wanyan Xiyin's northern accent, but also because of his straightforward thinking that did not lose his true Jurchen character and the bureaucratic political language of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zheng didn't know that the envoys in Huining at the moment were actually not the only ones in the Great Song family.
Before they arrived in Huining, Yang Yingqi was already maliciously imagining what it would be like if Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zheng suddenly heard that the Liao envoy Xi Nilie lived next door to them.
When Yang Yingqi was imagining this "interesting story" thousands of miles away, the Jin State was also thinking about what kind of specifications to use to receive the Song envoy. Wanyan Xiyin advocated the use of grand gifts, but Wu begged for money but did not think so. Because the purpose of Song's envoy this time was obviously to persuade Dajin to join forces to attack Liao, and Dajin had now decided to make a truce with Daliao, it was not appropriate to get too close to Dasong at this time.
Ah Gu asked Zhe Yanchong's opinion, but Zhe Yanchong asked rhetorically: "In my uncle's heart, are you ready to stand up with the Khitan East and West as the Northern Twin Heroes?" Unintentionally going west again? ”
Ah Gu said: "Naturally not! ”
Zhi Yanchong asked again: "Then between my Dajin and Daliao, there is only a temporary truce?" ”
Before Ah Guda could answer, he snorted and said, "This still needs to be said!" When the affairs of the territory are sorted out, I will lead the army and charge over! ”
Wu Qimai, Zong Han, Zong Wang, and others all nodded yes when they heard the words of Xianye. Zhi Yan said: "We have also fought with Da Liao for several years, and the further west and south we go, the greater the resistance!" The first two years were supposed to be a thousand-mile expedition for the Khitans, and we had the convenience of fighting at our doorstep. But when we arrived in the area of Zhongjing, the thousands of miles of laborers were replaced by us. The remaining territory of Da Liao is where their elite is located, and it cannot be ignored. If we can join forces with the Great Song Dynasty, it will be of great benefit to us. ”
Ah Gu said: "What Yan Chong said is reasonable. ”
Zhi Yanchong said again: "In this case, it is only a matter of time before we unite with the Great Song Dynasty. When the Song envoy arrived, he should be properly received. ”
Wu begged to buy: "But now that Xi Nilie is also here, he wants to make peace with us, but the Song people want us to start a war with the Khitan!" The two are not at odds. Judging from the current situation, a temporary truce with the Khitan is imperative, and we can only push the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty first. ”
Zhi Yan said: "What the fifth uncle said is extremely true, but what these two families want may not be completely contradictory. We don't have to push the Great Song either. The alliance between the two countries is a major event, and it cannot be explained clearly at one time. It was a 10,000-mile journey from Huining to Bianjing, and it was impossible to travel by land, so it had to be detoured by sea -- it would take a year and a half to go back and forth. It's better like this: we promised him, but we didn't say anything to death, but we just wanted to send someone to negotiate terms with Da Song. A few times back and forth, I'm afraid it won't take two or three years! Two or three years, isn't it enough for us to take care of internal affairs? ”
Hearing this, Zong Han echoed: "What Yan Chong said is right to the point! ”
Wu Qimai also smiled and said, "Good boy! You can figure it out! It's just that who did this envoy to the Great Song Dynasty send? ”
Zhi Yan said: "The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty still doesn't know the power of my Dajin soldiers, and if you send important ministers at this time, I'm afraid that you may not be able to get their courtesy." ”
Zong Han said: "Let Xi Yin be the main envoy and Yang Pu be the deputy, how about it?" ”
"Xi Yin can't go." Ah Gu said: "There are thousands of generals in our clan who are good at fighting, but there are only three or five who can be as good as Xi Yin!" Will rather be less than him! "The Jurchen Xinxing clan sometimes behaves like robbers, and often does things to detain envoys from other countries as hostages, they treat others as their own, and they are also afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will detain the envoys, so Ah Gu is quite reluctant to send the relatives and noble clans to go. What's more, they didn't know much about the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and they didn't want to send indispensable ministers to go.
Wu begged and said: "Then let Yang Pu go, this Bohai man is also quite honest." ”
Ah Gu nodded and said, "Anyway, it's just to spread a word, just let the Zhao family know what we mean." What should be decided, let the emperor of the Zhao family send someone to Huining to talk to me again. It's best to be able to join forces. However, the cities of the world have to be killed with knives in the end! ”
