Chapter 263: Coercion and Inducement to Reconciliation
As Han Shizhong expected, Ouyang Shi was forced by Han Shizhong's arrangement on both sides of the Yangtze River, and did not dare to go ashore to disturb and plunder easily, but he had been cruising and demonstrating in the center of the river.
But soon the news came: Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty abandoned the city and fled, and it was Qin Hui who stayed in Jiankang to preside over the overall situation! Ouyang Shi was overjoyed when he heard the news, with Qin Hui here, where did he hesitate! Regardless of whether the logistics could keep up, he led the fleet, came to Jiankang in a big way, easily seized the dock under the stone city, and sent someone to call Qin Hui to negotiate.
After Ouyang Shi's envoy entered the city, Qin Hui had to choose a messenger among the ministers, although Han Shizhong had courage, but as the head of the army, he could not go out lightly, and the other civil and military forces shrank their heads one by one when they heard that they were going to the enemy camp, Qin Hui was about to say that he was willing to take risks, so he saw Zhao Ding stand up and said: "I'll go." ”
Qin Hui was stunned, and then nodded and said, "With Zhao Yuanzhen going, why worry about the big thing!" Although he also intended to meet Ouyang Shi, after all, he was the head of the left-behind Wenchen, and if he insisted on stealing Zhao Ding's limelight, he was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he didn't insist.
Recently, there have been rumors inside and outside Jiankang that Ouyang Shizhi's barbarism is not under the Jin people, so Zhao Ding really has the heart of dying for the country, and the ministers who have befriended him have sent him off with tears. During the time when Zhao Ding was preparing to set off, Qin Hui found another opportunity to secretly meet Ouyang Shi's envoy, and the envoy told Qin Hui that the Han Navy's food and grass were quite short and hoped that Qin Hui would think of a way. Qin Hui revealed a grain storage point fifteen miles southeast of the Stone City Dock, and told the envoy that there were not many garrisons there, and asked Ouyang Shi to find a way to rob it.
So at the same time that Zhao Ding boarded Ouyang Shizao's boat, a team of Han sailors also secretly set off to rob grain.
After Zhao Ding got on the ship, he paid careful attention, and saw that Ouyang Shi's big ship was at least twice as big as the big ship of the Song Dynasty sailors, and said in his heart: "If this difficulty can be successfully passed, you have to build a warship, or if the Han Ministry comes back in the future, how can the sailors of the imperial court stop it?" This idea coincided with Han Shizhong's idea, and in the following years, it not only had a great impact on the Song army's sailors, but also stimulated the Han Ministry to invest more power in the sailors because of the pressure of competition.
Ouyang Shi originally wanted to see Qin Hui, but he didn't think about it, but Zhao Ding came, and after the two met, Ouyang Shi sneered: "Isn't it Qin Hui who is in charge of Jiankang City now?" Why didn't he come? ”
Although Zhao Ding was trapped in the tiger's den, he was not afraid at all, and said: "The government has subordinates, everyone has their own positions, Qin Shangshu is a national social worker, how can he be in danger?" ”
Ouyang Shi snorted and said, "If he doesn't come, then what else is there to talk about!" Have you done the Lord? ”
Zhao Ding said: "The Han and Song dynasties were originally in-laws, prosperous because of benevolence, coexisting because of righteousness, and who can't talk about benevolence and righteousness?" Who is not the Lord? ”
Ouyang Shi's brows furrowed even more, and he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Lao Tzu doesn't care what kind of righteousness you have, and it doesn't matter if you do it or not!" Since you're here, you can't be the Lord and give me a message! You tell Qin Hui, as well as your master Zhao Gou, and tell them: What they did this time is too much, my eldest brother is very angry, originally wanted to destroy your small court to avenge the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fought in Yanyun, but I was afraid that the incense of your Zhao family would be cut off, and at that time, my seventh brother and sister - that is, your princess of Chu State was sad. For the sake of our princess brother and sister, we will endure it and not destroy your Zhao family, but ......" He suddenly stopped and said to a clerk beside him: "My mouth is dry, you come, tell him our conditions." ”
The clerk refreshed his throat and said: "First, Zhao Gou went to the emperor's title, called King Song, and went to the "Apology Table" to comfort the souls of the 100,000 soldiers of the Qilu Legion in the sky; second, move the Empress Dowager Meng to Dengzhou and be supported by the princess of Chu; Third, the Song people's military horses retreated to the south of the Yangtze River on the same day, and horses were not allowed to cross the river; Fourth, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Hangzhou, and Jiangyin each set up a large dock for the Han Navy to berth; Fifth, the annual tribute is 10,000 catties of gold, 100,000 catties of silver, and 500,000 horses of silk; Sixth, Han businessmen went to Jiangnan to procure, and officials of all sizes were not allowed to stay in difficulty. ”
At this time, Ouyang Shi was not very clear about the situation in Shaanxi, so he did not propose to return to Lin Yi and other things, but Zhao Ding listened to these six conditions, he was both surprised and angry, and was about to defend, but Ouyang Shi shook his hand: "I know that you can't agree, I just want you to tell Zhao Gou and Qin Hui a message." If they don't agree, I'll attack the city tomorrow!" ”
Zhao Ding agreed: "Isn't these six matters related to Zhao Ding's big official matter?" Who would dare to agree to such subversive social terms? Who can say yes? ”
Ouyang Shi heaved and said: "You don't dare to agree, you can't agree, then find someone who dares to promise and can agree!" After speaking, he was about to send someone to drive him out, and Chen Fengshan next to him stepped forward and said: "He has already seen the reality of our army, and he can't let him go easily." Said to Zhao Ding: "You should repair a letter and tell the people in Jiankang City what the four generals mean." ”
Zhao Ding knew that they were planning to detain themselves, starting from contact with the Jin people, it was common for the envoy to be detained, Zhao Ding knew that his defense was useless, so he had no choice but to prepare a letter to report to Qin Hui, and at the end of the letter, he advised him not to agree to these six things.
Ouyang Shi read the letter, just sneered a few times, and did not change his words, so he ordered someone to send the letter, and ordered Zhao Ding to be taken into custody.
After Zhao Ding was escorted down, a sailor hurriedly came to report: The center sent someone.
Ouyang Shi sighed, and then ordered to see him, and what he saw was not an old man from the north, but a scholar with a polite nature, and said in his heart: "This is not a character of the southern faction." At this time, the camp of the Han Ministry was large, and there was a mixture of internal officials, and all those who joined after the enlarged meeting of China were regarded as "Southern Figures" by the old members of the Han Department.
This messenger was indeed Hu Yin, the leader of the young scholars of the "Southern School", who was ordered by Yang Yingqi to go south to discuss with Ouyang Shi about the important affairs of the Song Dynasty.
Hu Yin's official position is far inferior to Ouyang Shi, but he is a representative sent by the center, so Ouyang Shi can't give courtesy. After Hu Yin inquired about Ouyang Shi's entry into the army, he exclaimed: "The speed of the four generals' march is really beyond the expectations of the great generals and the seventh generals!" The seventh general thought that the fourth general was still in Zhoushan, and sent Hu Yin this time, but did not prepare a commendation for his meritorious service. ”
The Han Division's march this time is indeed called a god speed, Hu Yin's two words of praise are really heartfelt, Ouyang Shi felt very comfortable when he heard it, and said proudly: "It's all for the Han Department, as long as it can be done well, and there is no need to praise or something." Then he asked, "Ying Qi has sent you, but do you have anything to say?" ”
Hu Yin glanced at Ouyang Shi's subordinate officials, Ouyang Shi understood, and ordered everyone to retreat, there were only two people left in the cabin, and Hu Yin said: "Seven generals, how to do things in the southeast, the four generals just have an idea, although Hu Yin is sent by the center, he must not interfere arbitrarily." ”
Ouyang Shi nodded, and said in his heart: "Listen to the words of the seventh child." ”
Hu Yin said again: "However, peace talks with Song must take into account the situation in the north after all, so the seventh general sent me to tell the fourth general about the situation in the north." ”
He said these two sentences lightly, but Ouyang Shi also heard the meaning of the words: the conditions for peace talks with the Great Song Dynasty must be determined by the center after all. At this time, Ouyang Shi had basically got what he wanted to take, so he didn't compete with Yang Yingqi for this diplomatic negotiation power, and said with a smile: "Okay." Good. ”
