Chapter 4 The Old Place

Two days later, the delegation from Lin'an City arrived at Dusong Pass, from where they could either go directly to Jiankang Mansion or transfer to Ningguo Mansion to Jiangxi, and they naturally chose the latter.

Because the location of the pass was extremely critical, the team was very fast, and Liu Yu didn't even bother to say hello to the two acquaintances guarding the pass. What Lian Xixian saw in his eyes was a dazzling red, 30,000 soldiers with guns and halberds, occupying the wall to the brim, watching them pass through.

Today's scheduled camp is Anji County in Huzhou, after arranging the station of people from all walks of life, Liu Yu called Sun Qi over, he led Liu's family and prepared to go to the capital together, but Liu Yu had no such plans.

These people are different from well-trained soldiers, it may be okay to bully and bully the common people, but if they really get to the territory of the Tartars, they may not be able to help and cause chaos, so he didn't think about letting them go over early in the morning, and with the entourage is for An Yeying and his wife's heart, and now it's time to leave.

"Old Seven, there is something important for you to do."

"Lang Jun just commands."

Sun Qi was ready to go and never return, and when he saw the solemn look on the owner's face at this moment, he just thought that there was something really important, and hurriedly replied.

"This letter is confidential, and it must be sent to Jiankang Mansion immediately to present it to Li Xianggong, after thinking about it, only you can let it go, what do you think?"

"Jiankang Mansion? Then how to meet Lang Jun again. ”

Sun Qi is not stupid, these are two opposite directions, the itinerary of the mission is set, it is impossible to wait for him alone, to be able to think of this layer, it shows that he is thoughtful, Liu Yu nodded approvingly.

"This matter is more important, when you arrive at Jiankang Mansion, you have to listen to Li Xianggong's arrangement, and you won't be able to return to Lin'an Mansion for a while, are you willing?"

Speaking of which, Sun Qi is a person who has been a helper, and it is instinctive to check and look at the words and listen to the wind and argue, and there is nothing he can guess about the meaning of his words, he feels like he has knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and he has any taste.

"Go, bring all the family members with you, teach them to read and write at your leisure, and when you come back, you will go with you later."

"Lang Jun, how does this make the small one, if they let them go to Jiankang Mansion, the small one will follow, and don't dare to say anything else, run errands for Lang Jun and open up some joints, or do it."

Sun Qi's expression was very sincere, and Liu Yu didn't think he had the need to act, but he went to the enemy's base camp to deal with it, what Sun Qi said was not needed at all, the people there only recognized strength, and if they brought one more, they might die in vain, Liu Yu didn't plan to experience it again.

"Old Seven, you still have a lot of use, not at this time, listen to so-and-so, take them well, want to do things, there will be opportunities in the future."

Liu Yu ended the conversation with an indistinguishable attitude, and Sun Qi received his order despite the inner entanglement, and they would directly advance to the Guangde army into Jiankang Mansion. Tomorrow, the mission will be diverted to Ningguofu, the same route that Lian Xixian chose when he entered Beijing.

In the entire Song mission, in addition to him as the main envoy and Lu Shimeng as the deputy envoy, there were also several small officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and the Privy Mansion as attachés. A team of fifty forbidden troops as guards, led by the front of the palace Si Nei Ban Zhi, Duyu Marquis Yang Lei, and he had a relationship, and this team of forbidden troops are all from the elite of the elite, Yulongzhi.

The soldiers are well-informed: "Those who prohibit soldiers, the guards of the Son of Heaven, the front of the palace, the second division of the guards, in short." Its closest followers are called all classes. According to the selection standards of the Song people, the four armies are more than 1.8 meters old to be selected, and the best of the best are taller, Yang Lei and Jin Ming are about the same, reaching more than 1.85 meters, and his subordinates are the same, with them, Liu Yu's size is not enough.

In order to give them these envoys a scene, the imperial court also took great pains to send out all these majestic soldiers who were placed in the north. On this trip, Liu Yu didn't bring many of his own soldiers, these people were all they relied on.

Tong guò Yang Lei, Liu Yu quickly got along with these ordinary sergeants who were not ordinary, and there was no high-ranking civil official at all, he had his own explanation for this, if the superior wanted his subordinates to work for themselves, at least you had to pretend to be a person who valued them.

And Liu Yu can do this, not only because he comes from the later generations, but with a mouth, those stories that are prosaic in the later generations, but inexhaustible, have become the best medium for communication between the two sides, and this trick has been tried and tested since he began to cross.

"Waiter, I heard that the capital of the Yuan people we went to is Yanyun's hometown, but is it true?"

"That's true, in the former Tang Dynasty, it was called Youzhou, the Liao people called Yanjing, the Jin people called Nanjing, and the Yuan people changed to Dadu, all of which were the same place. In the fifth year of Xuanhe, the Great Song Dynasty restored the Yan land and changed it to Yanshan Mansion, but unfortunately it was lost to the Jin people after two years, and it has never set foot in this place since then. ”

Since Shi Jingtang ceded it to the Khitans, this slogan has been shouted for more than three hundred years, of course, after the southern crossing, the recovery of the Central Plains is an imminent matter, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures has become an unattainable dream, almost no one mentions it again, if it were not for the destination of their trip to Dadu, these forbidden troops would not have inquired.

And in those short two years, it became the largest two years in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, this glory was just a flash in the pan, and after a few years, not only Yanyun was not saved, but even the entire Central Plains was lost. And now, these envoys are going to sign a new peace agreement, and most of Jinghu and Shuzhong will be ceded to the Yuan people, will this be the head? All of them were silent.

As a participant, Liu Yu didn't have that kind of pain, because he never thought of himself as a Song person, which was a bit strange, like flipping through a history book, and the protagonist in the book is yourself.

This is an unpleasant topic, which directly led to the cold field, and Liu Yu didn't have the heart to continue, and stood up. Walking out of the crowd, this is not far from the county seat, and due to their large numbers, it cannot be arranged directly in the city.

"Yan Yun's hometown, how many of you Song people still remember that it was Yan Yun's hometown? The Han people in the capital, why are you? 'Captives' were abandoned by yourselves, and now they remember who they were. ”

I don't know when, Lian Xixian appeared behind him, this is a master who remembers to eat and not to fight, Liu Yu found that he likes to provoke himself, and he always appears suddenly when he is not careful.

"The same kind of text, what kind of people do you say they will be, the lamb is lost, and one day it will find a home, and one day, you may be able to see it."

Liu Yu sneered at his cross-examination, Huaxia has a strong inertia of great unification, and its link is Han culture, even the person in front of him, after a few decades, I am afraid that he will only speak Chinese.

In this era, there is no clear concept of the Han nation, the word Han refers to the northerners, and the south is called the "Song people" or the southerners, in history may be the fall of the Song Dynasty and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, after experiencing oppression and enslavement, a national consensus was formed, and the era in which Liu Yu was in was the last key point.

Lian Xixian doesn't know where he gets his confidence, even if Da Yuan has such and such a crisis, he is far stronger than his Da Song. In Lian Xixian's mind, Kublai Khan, the Ming monarch, is not comparable to the little official who has just been weaned, he obviously admits it himself, but he is still so ashamed.

"Liu Shiji, a certain sentence is still the same sentence, if you and I can be ministers in the same palace, my lord will definitely meet each other."

"Lian Shangshu, believe so, he won't."

After speaking, he patted Lian Xixian on the shoulder and walked away, leaving the latter standing there for unknown reasons, because it didn't look like Liu Yu was joking.

In Quanzhou City, after Zhizhou Tian Zhenzi sent a letter of defense, the atmosphere was really relaxed, and Pu and others, who knew the efficiency of the imperial court, did not care at all even if they received new news later. Because on the surface, this Jin Du Governor has no intention of going south at all.

"Waterway, canal? I'm afraid that when he arrived in Guangzhou, the Yuan people had already entered western Zhejiang. ”

After this sentence was said by Pu, it won the unanimous approval of everyone present, and the mocking words came one after another, according to the itinerary, maybe it was really possible.

At such a sensitive moment, the imperial court set up this governor's mansion in Guangzhou, and explicitly ordered the control of the three-way soldiers and horses, and knew that it was Quanzhou without asking, whether it was a response or a conquest, Quanzhou had enough time to prepare.

Not long ago, the new envoy of the Yuan people brought tangible news that by September at the latest, the army would be heading south. The actions of Pu Shi and others will have a crucial impact on the situation in the southeast, and the promises of Zuo Cheng and Shizhang City in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province in the future have become a temptation within reach.

Of course, this qiē, Pu Shi will not agree with the people here, Quanzhou must be under his leadership, there is no doubt about this, anyone who dares to challenge his position, even if he has been an ally.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now August, as long as we hold on for another month, we can bring more than a hundred years of wealth to the descendants, for this reason the people at both ends of the first rat must be cleared, Quanzhou City is the best gift we have given to the Emperor of the Great Yuan, and anyone who dares to stop is our enemy."

In the almost frenzied cheers, Pu finally made up his mind to fix the city of Quanzhou and wait for the arrival of the Yuan people.

"The area around the harbor must still be guarded, but the main force should be withdrawn into the city, the city defense is not manpowered, so they should be recruited in the name of the village soldiers, and you will send some people to take command."

"Haigong doesn't need to worry, how many soldiers and horses can be adjusted in Fujian and Guangzhou? That Jin Shuai is reluctant to go, isn't there just no one available? In Yi's view, the governor's mansion is an empty shelf, and the court is to put pressure on us to abandon the city and leave. ”

Xia Jing said disapprerovingly, even if there are some soldiers and horses in various places, it is still a question whether they can go into battle, take 10,000 steps back and say, relying on the city defense, he is also confident enough to defend until the arrival of the Yuan people, not to mention whether this battle can be fought is not certain.

Pu was a little dissatisfied with his contemptuous attitude, but it was inconvenient to refute it directly, this person was the biggest reliance in the city, and he had to be well encircled. However, he also has some truth in saying that if the court does not convict them of their crimes, this governor's mansion will not be able to enter the army for a day, and the lawsuit will still have to be fought.
