Zhen Kecun said: "Oh? I don't know where to start? "He is a sworn enemy of the Western Xia, although he has repeatedly defeated the Western Xia army, but he also has many relatives who died in the hands of the Western Xia people, so he is quite impulsive when he speaks.
Li Qi saw that Richard still refused to admit defeat, so he didn't stop the folding, drinking the light and tasteless tea, leisurely.
Richard said: "What kind of drill are you doing on my Xixia border, and there is more than one or two ri, in case there is any misunderstanding that causes unnecessary right and wrong, it will not be good for both of us." ”
Zhen Kecun said: "We are practicing on our own land, do we have to get the consent of your Western Xia?" It's ridiculous. ”
"I didn't say it would require our consent, in case you accidentally crossed the line."
Without waiting for Richard to finish speaking, he said, "Isn't this not yet out of bounds." ”
Li Qi said suddenly: "This prince, please rest assured, our Great Song army has always been very disciplined, unlike some miscellaneous armies, if any soldiers in our army cross the line, you don't need to report it." We have always done this, and if the soldiers of another country step into our territory without being informed, we will be unforgiving. ”
Richard glanced at Li Qi, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, and he said: "With the words of the Golden Knife Chef King, I think we in Xixia know what to do?" ”
Bluff me? Depend on! Then you're really looking for the wrong person. Li Qi smiled and said, "By the way, the prince is here suddenly, and I don't know what to teach." ”
Richard got straight to the point and said: "I am here to ask you for my 10,000 innocent lives in Western Xia." ”
It's up to you? Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said, "What? 10,000 innocent lives? I haven't eaten meat for a long time lately, but I haven't killed, huh? As he spoke, he pointed at Yue Fei and the others: "Hey, hey, did you group steal other people's chickens and pigs!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone lowered their heads silently, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
Yue Fei couldn't hold back a smile and shook his head vigorously, but he didn't dare to speak, for fear of laughing.
Richard was teased by Li Qi repeatedly, and said angrily: "I'm talking about 10,000 lives." ”
"10,000 lives?" Li Qi said in horror: "Lord Wang, don't scare me." I usually kill animals, but people don't dare to kill them! Not to mention 10,000 lives. This meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately, the prince can talk nonsense, which will have a worse impact than the common people's nonsense. ”
Richard gritted his teeth and said: "Such a big thing, how can I talk nonsense, a few days ago, when our army of 10,000 horses was passing near Tao Village, they were suddenly ambushed, and our army was not prepared enough, so that the whole army was annihilated, not only that, but those hateful thieves also burned the corpses of our soldiers in Western Xia on the spot. ”
"Ouch."
Li Qi suddenly exclaimed.
Richard was stunned and looked at Richie in astonishment.
Li Qi patted and said: "I can't imagine that today's thieves are so moral, and they even help the enemy to be cremated, which is really kind." ”
Burst!
The seed master directly squirted out the imported tea, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and said lightly: "Hold your fist, this tea is really unpalatable." ”
Richard said coldly: "But according to my people, this is what you Song Jun did. ”
Richie sighed and asked the crowd, "Who of you have been out hunting lately, oh no, is this- did you do this?" ”
Yue Fei said: "A few days ago, we did annihilate an army near Taocun that intended to invade my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Yes, I almost forgot, I said Lord Wang, why did your army come to our Great Song Dynasty." Richie asked.
Richard said: "What you Great Song, that is our territory in Western Xia. ”
"Not really." Li Qi said: "Could it be that the prince can get drunk when he drinks tea, and this kind of nonsense can be spoken." ”
Zhi Kecun snorted coldly and said, "Lord Wang, you are really talking nonsense with your eyes open, within a radius of two hundred miles from Lanzhou is the territory of my Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Richard sneered: "Even in this Lanzhou, we in Western Xia have not admitted that it is yours, don't forget that this is what you snatched from us." ”
Li Qi laughed and said: "In this way, your Western Xia used to be our Great Song Dynasty, so wouldn't my Song Army be able to walk sideways in your Western Xia, don't give me the matter of Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain." ”
Richard said: "No matter what, this area is indeed disputed on both sides, why can't our army march by the road, you attack our army for no reason, do you still have a reason." ”
Li Qi snorted: "Who has any dispute with you, this Lanzhou belongs to our Great Song Dynasty, there is no doubt about it." Your army of 10,000 people, without any notice, sneaked into our Great Song Dynasty, and it is less than a hundred miles away from Lanzhou, I know what you are doing here? As I said earlier, anyone who invades my Great Song Dynasty will be killed, and if you don't pay attention to the rules first, then don't blame us for being ruthless. Besides, your Western Xia army has gathered 100,000 horses on the border, don't tell me, you are here to see the scenery! ”
"You can drill at will at the border, and we will inform you of where we put our troops."
"Of course not, but you can't cross the line, that's our bottom line."
"So, you're planning to start a war with my Western Xia?"
Li Qi said seriously: "That's it, lord, I'll put aside the relationship between the two of us first." Let's open the skylight and say something bright, I know exactly what you have in mind, hum, a little prefect, do you think he can go to heaven and earth, don't be afraid to sue you, that person is already under our control, he also told me about your plan before he died, you can deny it, it's okay, I don't want to destroy the relationship between our two countries because of a small prefect, but you want to come to the real thing, and we are not afraid, it just so happens that the new weapons we have researched have not yet found the object. ”
Saying that, he sighed heavily and said, "Don't hide it from the prince, in fact, based on this alone, we have enough reasons to send troops, but we didn't do it, why?" It is because our emperor knows that if our two countries continue to fight like this, it will only consume each other's strength and let the rest of the countries take advantage of the situation, which is not good for everyone. ”
Li Qi was both soft and hard, and Richard was a little loose in his mouth, and said: "It is undeniable that our emperor and your majesty coincide with each other, and it is precisely because of this that our emperor sent me here to inquire, without directly declaring war on your Great Song Dynasty." However, we will never accept the sacrifice of our 10,000 soldiers in vain, and you must give us an explanation. ”
You're sending troops! Li Qi said: "On this point, I really can't do anything, the so-called state has national laws, families have family rules, and our soldiers also implement national laws, I don't think they are at fault, if not, then other countries will not treat our Great Song Dynasty as a thatched house, come if you want, and leave if you want." ”
He walked to the side as he spoke, and waved at the official sitting next to Richard, who was stunned for a moment, and immediately sat away, Li Qi sat down, leaned over to Richard, and said: "Lord, I'll tell you the truth, this matter is your fault first, don't deny it, everyone understands in their hearts, don't say it, even if it's an apology, we can't give it to you, otherwise, where is the majesty of our Great Song Dynasty, others invaded our country, we successfully repelled them, and we have to apologize, I'm afraid I can't justify this reason. As for what to do, that's the best way to do it only if nothing has happened. ”
"What? When nothing ever happened? That's more than 10,000 lives! Richard said angrily.
Li Qi said: "I know. At the beginning of the battle of Yongle City, how many of you and us were 100,000 soldiers, do we want you to give us an explanation? ”
"That's different, it was you who came to invade my Western Xia at the beginning."
"That's it, your 10,000 troops equipped with Jing Liang have invaded my Great Song Dynasty, do my Great Song soldiers still have to hand over tea and warm hospitality!" Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, this has happened, let's talk about it, it won't help, either fight, or sit down and talk about the future fortune of our two countries." ”
Richard frowned and said, "What is the plan to make a fortune?" ”
Hehe, I'm not good at talking about military affairs, talking about business, I'm really afraid that you won't open this mouth! Li Qi rubbed his hands, revealing a signature smiling face of Tong Shou, and said, "I believe that the prince has also heard that our Great Song Dynasty has been trying its best to change the law recently, and the purpose of changing the law is to enrich the country." In fact, if it weren't for this, I might have sent you Western Xia. What age is it now, who can make a fortune by fighting, how unbeatable Li Yuanhao of your Western Xia was at the beginning, but so what, the war was won, but the treasury was empty, and the people were poor and didn't even eat, which made the people complain, but later, the war was the same as not fighting, and you still lost, of course, we were also affected by you. Now that our emperor has figured it out, he is planning to strengthen the connection between our Great Song Dynasty and your Western Xia, and it is best to form an alliance of brothers-in-law. Of course, this is not possible now. ”
Richard wondered, "Why?" ”
Li Qi said: "Haven't you already declared yourself a vassal to the Jin State, we are allies with the Jin State, if we form an alliance with you again, it will be a violation of our alliance with the Jin State, which will definitely not work." ”
Richard's face was bruised and embarrassed, and he was silent. Li Qi's words are undoubtedly saying that we are on an equal footing with your boss, and you are not qualified enough.
Li Qi said again: "But this does not hinder the economic exchanges between us, I know that now the economy of your Western Xia is also at a low point, plus the previous aid to Northern Liao, it is even worse, if you want to recover quickly, you can only rely on the help of others, we and the economic construction of the Jin State, you should also know that since you have declared yourself a vassal to the Jin State, then this economic construction is also applicable to your Western Xia." In the past, when we fought with you, they all revolved around the Hetao area, and you should also know that the Hetao area is a treasure land, which contains countless interests, but every time we fight, the economy of the Hetao region will have to lag behind for a year, or even five years, which is not good for you and me. ”
Richard nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, so what do you say you should do?" ”
Li Qi said with a smile: "Of course, it is to jointly develop the Hetao area and turn this treasure land from a military center into an economic center." As you can see, our Great Song merchants have begun to strengthen exchanges with you Western Xia merchants, and many merchants have gone to your Western Xia to do business, which is a good sign, and those of us who eat imperial grain can't be left behind the people. In addition, I will introduce you to a financial road in Western Xia, with this financial road, there will be a continuous influx of money into you."
Richard was full of curiosity: "What kind of wealth?" ”
"The Sea Road."
Li Qi smiled: "I know that you Xixia have many enviable crafts, and many products can't even be made by our Great Song Dynasty, such as your Xixia sword." But if these commodities are not carried forward and their value cannot be reflected, this is a waste, and this is also a loss for your Western Xia, because these may bring great wealth to your Western Xia. If we strengthen economic exchanges, then we merchants of the Great Song Dynasty can go to your Western Xia to invest, sell those good goods to all over the world, and even help you ship them overseas. Of course, you can also help my Great Song Dynasty merchants to transport goods to the Western Regions, it is conceivable that once it is successful, then our Great Song Dynasty merchants will definitely go to your Western Xia to open, open shops, and open workshops in order to save the distance, I don't talk about those taxes, the main thing is to benefit many of your people, and your Western Xia merchants can also come to my Great Song Dynasty, this back and forth, the Hetao area will also be developed, and it will become the world's largest trading market, at that time merchants from all over the world will come here. Then the money is not rolling in, isn't it killing two birds with one stone. (To be continued.) )
