Chapter 844 - Don't Send It
"Don't send it!" Boyan took a sip of his wine glass. Today is the day when the Song envoy crossed the river to negotiate peace, and he asked the arrangement in the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion to be completed, and waited for the Song envoy to come to the door, but only the scribe came, and he sent a letter and left.
"This Southern Dynasty is also too rude, and a little scribe actually refuses to give a courtesy. What did the right minister say...... "This kung fu left Mengyan to come to the hall, looked at the empty hall and muttered angrily, raised his eyes and saw Boyan talking to himself there.
"Liushangshu, what do you think this means?" Boyan asked Liu Mengyan to sit down and handed the letter in his hand to him.
"Don't send it!?" When Liu Mengyan looked at it, there were two words on the paper, and he turned it around and checked it carefully, except for the two words that had no head and no brains. He peeked at Boyan, frowned, and said, "Right Minister, Xiaguan is also ...... I don't know what it means! ”
"This book is only two words, which is extremely incomprehensible!" Boyan drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Right Prime Minister, why don't you chase back the Southern Dynasty messenger and ask again?" Liu Mengyan said.
"No need, I asked him to send him a copy of the Southern Dynasty's descending table, and they replied with two words, which is really incomprehensible!" Boyan touched his beard and frowned.
"The first peace conference, the right minister to the envoys of the Southern Dynasty is the table of surrender of the previous dynasty?" Liu Mengyan was stunned for a moment. And suddenly in my heart, the little emperor was sharp and ruthless, and he would be furious when he saw the table, so the meaning of these two words was to let them 'get out'. It is ridiculous that Boyan prides himself on being a talented man, proficient in Mongolian and Chinese characters, but he does not know the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters, and the meaning of them is beyond his comprehension.
"Yes, hasn't the puppet king of the Southern Dynasty always flaunted that he ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety? I want to see how they face the reduction of the table back then, and kill their sharpness first! Boyan still smiled self-righteously, not realizing what the two words represented.
"Right Prime Minister, there's no chance to talk about it anymore!" Liu Mengyan looked at the complacent Boyan and said with a bitter face.
"Oh, what does this mean? Could it be that a letter has already made the pseudo-king pee his pants in fright! Boyan stroked his beard and laughed.
"At that time, the right minister led hundreds of thousands of troops, took Huainan, went down to Jiankang, attacked the city all the way, and approached Lin'an, the queen mother and the emperor of the Southern Dynasty were frightened to surrender, and the prestige of the right minister can still stop the children's night cry!" Yangzhou guard Su Hetai listened to the words.
"The right year has just left Jiangnan, and the people of Jiangnan have built a shrine to worship, and the incense is continuous, in order to thank the right minister. How can a child who is not as tall as Ma Gao be compared with the pseudo-king, I am afraid that when I hear that the right minister is coming, the people of Jiangnan have already prepared good wine to wait! One of the courtiers beside him was also busy boasting.
"Eh, I just obeyed the will of the Great Khan, the bloody battle of the soldiers, how dare I take credit!" Boyan smiled and waved his hand.
"Right Minister, the meaning of these two words is to refuse to negotiate peace with our dynasty again, let us take it easy, not to surrender!" Seeing this, Liu Mengyan secretly sighed in his heart, today's Southern Dynasty is no longer the past, but its perception is still in the old days, and he doesn't understand the strength of the little emperor, so he is a little helpless.
"What? These two words are for this, and the book is not a joke! Boyan, who was beautiful in the clouds, was suddenly lifted off, and naturally he was not very happy, and said with a straight face.
"Discussing such a major matter, how dare the lower officials talk nonsense!" Liumengyan said, "The word "no send" has both the taste of sending off guests at this moment, and also the meaning of angrily rejecting guests, indicating that the Southern Dynasty has refused to negotiate peace with us again. ”
"Hehe, this pseudo-king does have some courage, can these two words also be regarded as a war book?" Boyan listened, but said with a smile on his face.
"You can also do this explanation!" Liu Mengyan nodded and said, At this moment, any Song person knows that the other party is annoyed, the relationship between the two sides has been broken, there is nothing to say, hurry up, and talk with your fists next time we meet. But he didn't dare to explain it too bluntly, and he was afraid that Boyan wouldn't understand the meaning of it, so he vaguely responded when he saw him ask.
"You southerners are verbose, not as good as this child, if you have something to say, I didn't expect it to have the spirit of Emperor Taizu!" Boyan glared at Liu Mengyan and said dissatisfiedly.
"What does this have to do with Taizu?" Liu Mengyan was stunned, of course he knew that the Taizu in Boyan's mouth would definitely not be Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, he must be referring to Genghis Khan Temujin, what is the purpose of comparing the two!
"Hmph, when Taizu had just ascended the throne of Khan, Khorezm killed hundreds of merchants of our dynasty, and his king Mahamat killed the envoy sent by the Great Khan to negotiate...... Boyan snorted coldly and explained.
It happened during the time of Genghis Khan's western expedition. After Genghis Khan established the Great Mongolian State, he sent a caravan composed of 450 merchants to the west, passing through the Khorezm country in Central Asia, the greedy Khorezm monarchs killed 449 merchants for espionage, and only one fled back to Mongolia, and confiscated all the gold, silver, silk, mink and other goods loaded with 500 camels. Genghis Khan sent three envoys to reprimand, but the chief envoy was killed by Khorezm, and the two servants were humiliated by cutting their beards and expelled back to Mongolia.
When Genghis Khan heard about it, he convened a general meeting and gathered 200,000 Mongolian troops to march west to avenge his hatred and ask people to write a war letter. The war book was written by Yelu Chucai, and after Genghis Khan read it, he felt that the text was crepe, so he changed it to a sentence with a few numbers - if you want to fight, you will fight, and send someone to send it to the king of Khorezm. Then the army was divided into four ways to conquer, Chagatai, Ogedai all the way, Jochi all the way, Subutai all the way, Genghis Khan himself and Tuo Lei all the way.
In the end, the Khan of the city of Natara was captured alive by Chagatai and Ogedei and handed over to Genghis Khan, who said, "Aren't you greedy for money, do you want money?" and then melted the silver and poured it into the nose, mouth and ears of the Khan, and burned the boy alive. If you want to fight, I will fight! It has become the shortest, most domineering, and most famous war book in Mongolian history. But today, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty only replied with two words, which made Boyan think of it!
"Oh, there are such allusions in it, but the puppet king is too late. But what about now! "Although Liumengyan praised it in his mouth, he despised it in his heart, where is the little emperor smart, and the response with the word 'don't send' is not rude, and he expresses his anger, and the artistic conception is not many times higher than it.
"Do you think there is room for maneuver?" Boyan pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically. In fact, he sent the Southern Dynasty to the table, and the signal was that he did not recognize it as a country at all, and the real Southern Dynasty had already been wiped out by himself, and he was not worthy of being equal to him at all, and wanted to suppress them psychologically. And with his experience back then, under the cowardly character of the Nanren, he would definitely not dare to refuse the peace negotiation, and he could increase the weight layer by layer to achieve the goal of coming. To his surprise, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was too crazy and withdrew directly from the peace negotiation, and he had the intention to start a new war, but it was contrary to the will of the new emperor first inside and then outside.
"Right Prime Minister, it's not that the lower officials shirk it, it's too difficult to restart the peace talks!" Liu Mengyan said with a wry smile. Since he was ordered to come to Lin'an to pray for peace a few months ago, the experience can be described as twists and turns, and he can be regarded as having exhausted the organs, and only after nine deaths can he persuade the little emperor to agree to the peace negotiation, and I want to cry when I think about the difficulties. But at the beginning, it was ruined by a letter from Boyan.
"Oh, so he doesn't want to make peace?" Boyan said with some surprise.
"Of course, at that time, our armies in the south of the Yangtze River were defeated in successive battles and could not be defeated, and it took only a few months for the Southern Dynasty to capture the four provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang and Fujian, and the army was in full swing. The call for the southern government and the opposition to attack Jiangbei is very high, and even if some people want to negotiate peace, who would dare to risk the world's condemnation under such circumstances. Liu Mengyan sighed and said, "The right is far away in the northwest and I don't know the details, at that time, the 500,000 troops of the Southern Dynasty Chen soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, want to cross the river by victory, the Empress Dowager Nanbi does not understand military affairs, and Brother Sang can't command the armies, the situation is extremely critical, and the Empress Dowager has no choice but to send officials to cross the river to beg for peace." ”
"Then why did the Southern Dynasty agree again?" Boyan nodded, he could imagine the panicked people in the court after the loss of Jiangnan, and they were not in charge of the army, so they had only one way to go.
"It is also the heavens that bless my dynasty, the puppet king of the Southern Dynasty suddenly contracted a serious illness on the way back to the army in Wuhu for more than a month, when the rainy season has arrived, the river has begun to rise, and the best time to cross the river has been missed. After his return to Beijing, it coincided with the assassination of Chen Yizhong, the former prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, and the matter of wanting to set up a new monarch was revealed, and the queen mother also returned to Lin'an to re-govern, and finally there was a turning point, and the lower officials took the opportunity to lobby the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty to agree to the peace negotiation. Liu Mengyan explained.
"In this way, it is the empress dowager of the Southern Dynasty who refuses to negotiate peace, isn't she afraid that our army will set foot in the south of the Yangtze River again?" Boyan said with some surprise.
"Alas, the right minister does not know the inside story, the puppet king of the Southern Dynasty is not a mortal, he was only six years old when he was in Qiongzhou, he was ordered to supervise the country, and the whole court and the central government are looking forward to it, but because he is too young to be pro-government, in fact, the political affairs and military affairs of the DPRK and China are all decided by him, and the queen mother's re-administration is just a cover-up. Peace and discussion such things must also be decided by him, and his years are strong, how can he be the right to provoke! Liu Mengyan was also drunk, and he didn't know anything about the current situation, so he acted rashly, so he complained about it.
"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have let go of the remnants of the Southern Dynasty in the first place, let them sit big, and exterminate them early, so why would today's trouble come from!" Boyan listened to the case and said remorsefully.
"What the right minister said is good. At that time, the commander Zhang Hongfan was also ordered to chase him, but he was defeated at Yashan, and both brothers died at his hands; Huguang Xuanzhi made Ali Hague also mobilized the Jianghuai naval army, poured the army of the Guang Marshal's Mansion to attack Qiongzhou, but did not set foot on Qiongzhou, was killed and defeated, and fled back to Huguang alone, since then it has been sluggish, and it is no longer able to attack Qiongzhou. And at that time, they were only able to fight tens of thousands, and now ......" Liumengyan shook his head and sighed, looking like he couldn't look back on the past.
"Sizzle......" Boyan couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this, and felt that this was a big trouble for Meng Yuan, so he turned his face and asked Su Hetai beside him, "Can you lead the army across the river to teach the Southern Dynasty a lesson!" ”
"Right Minister, the warships in the army are all destroyed, and it is difficult for the lower officials to cross the river if they have the heart!" Su Hetai listened to the excitement, and then eased down, "In addition, the Southern Dynasty has sharp firearms, and has built cities and fortresses along the river, and its naval army is constantly cruising in the river day and night, and it is difficult to erect pontoon bridges......"
"Long-winded, I don't dare to talk about it for a long time, are you also softened by the fragrant wind of the Southern Dynasty, and don't you have the courage to bend the bow of the horse?" Boyan scolded angrily when he saw his retreat.
"The right minister is angry, don't rush to send troops across the river, or be careful of the southern army crossing the river!" Seeing this, Liu Mengyan hurriedly persuaded.
"Do they dare to cross the river to attack?" Boyan said in surprise.
"I don't know that at the beginning of the Southern Dynasty refused to negotiate peace, Sang Ge also mobilized heavy troops in Taixing, but I didn't expect the Southern Army to cross the river at night to besiege the city, and the city of Taixing was broken in one day, and all the troops gathered here were annihilated. Before the reinforcements from other places arrived, they transported all the people and property of the city to Jiangnan before they withdrew safely! Liu Mengyan said, of course, if he is killed at this moment, he will not say that the idea is his own, and Sang Ge has already lost his position, so he doesn't have to worry about his retaliation if he steps on it.
"What Liushang said is true, that day the official also led the army to help, when the three-way army arrived Taixing in addition to the corpses everywhere has become an empty city, tens of thousands of people of the city and property have been plundered, now it has become a ruined city, it is rumored that the southern army only used thousands of troops in front of them." Su Hetai still had a shocked face.
"I've never heard of such a big thing!" Boyan frowned. As the commander of the army, of course, he knew that he could quietly cross the river and launch a surprise attack under the condition of heavy guarding, and quickly end the battle, then the combat power of this army could be called absolutely terrifying. And this can explain why the puppet king of the Southern Dynasty refused to negotiate peace, and dared to categorically terminate the peace agreement that had just been launched because of a letter.
"I don't know about this official, after the incident, Brother Sang returned to Beijing, and the official thought that he had reported to the imperial court!" Of course, Liumengyan is a push of 625, and the responsibility is not stained, thinking about it and saying, "But the following officials know that the puppet king of the Southern Dynasty is a pinch will be repaid, and the right minister will send it to him, I am afraid that he will not give up, or prepare early!" ”
"Could it be that in this thousand-mile river defense, the enemy army is as if it were nothing, and it is like coming and going?" Obviously, at this moment, Boyan's focus is no longer on Sang Ge, but on Jiang Fang.
"Prime Minister of the Right Side, in the battle of the previous time, our naval army of Chaohaidao and the navy of Longwan in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang were all severely damaged, and they were almost completely lost, and they were unable to compete with the enemy on the river!" Su Hetai reported.
"It seems that I have been reckless!" Boyan was silent for a long time before sighing. Although Su Hetai said it implicitly just now, he also understood that the defeat of the naval army made the Yangtze River a smooth road for the Song army, and it was a barrier for himself. As long as the puppet king of the Southern Dynasty is happy, the Song army can cross the river and attack Jiangbei at any time, but if you want to cross the river, you have to think carefully......
