Chapter 134: The Envoy of the Chen Dynasty
Sure enough, Zhao Rui's strategy was correct, and after another three days, more than 20,000 displaced people came one after another, and the statistics of the Jiaozhi people in the three cities also came out, which was more than 18,000, plus 34,000 people within the Yongping Village, Zhao Rui was equivalent to having a civilian population of 72,000.
In particular, more than 20,000 displaced people have to be allocated land, and Zhao Rui asked Zhang Zhennan to measure the land, feeling that it is still a little stretched.
However, the seeds brought back by Zhao Rui had already been planted, so Zhao Rui simply formed a Minfu engineering team of about 2,000 young and strong people among the displaced people, which was responsible for the reinforcement of the city wall.
There are many mountains within the scope of strength, Zhao Rui built a pillbox on the high places of many mountains, brought all the major roads and small roads into the line of sight, and sent troops to guard in rotation, so that no matter which road there is an enemy, the army will hear the gunfire at the first time.
After finishing these, Zhao Rui asked the engineering team to widen and strengthen the road, and if he could not build a few off-road vehicles in the future, setting up machine guns would become the best way to charge into battle.
The loss of grain is also intensifying, and Zhao Rui calculated that there is still surplus grain in his hand, which is enough to hold on to the next harvest.
originally thought that the Jiaozhi people would send a large number of troops to capture the city, but Zhao Rui looked left and right, and it turned out that the messenger of the Jiaozhi people to negotiate peace came first.
Because Langzhou has been captured, Zhao Rui simply built the prince's mansion in Dabaocheng, and the previous land was divided into cultivated land.
Now the urban construction work is in full swing, and Dabao City is full of earthwork and stones, which looks messy, which makes the three of Jiaozhi envoys frown.
I used to think that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty was so amazing, but now it seems that he is just a poor and sour look! He is simply a down-and-out prince who has been degraded to the border, but he is just sharper with a musket.
Before the envoys saw Zhao Rui, they had already underestimated him in their hearts.
These envoys, like the Emperor Chen, did not see what the musket attack was like, and they did not bother to listen to the descriptions of the front-line soldiers.
So much so that the appearance of the three envoys in the main hall was arrogant, which made Zhao Rui strange.
Do you want to put on such a stinky face for peace?
"King Yongping." The first messenger put down the tea bowl, stood up and said: "You captured the three cities of our Chen Dynasty for no reason, and the emperor was extremely angry when he heard this, and wanted to send a large army to exterminate you!" However, for the sake of still having some affection with the Song Dynasty, I can spare you for the time being! ”
The envoy looked at Zhao Rui, but he couldn't see the slightest panic on his face.
"Hehe, let me go so easily, do you need me to do anything?" Zhao Rui asked with interest.
"Exactly!" The envoy glanced at Zhao Rui and said with arrogance: "It's okay for you to keep the city, the emperor is benevolent, and you have the power of a musket." Since the Song Dynasty can make you the king of Yongping, our majesty can also let you be the king of Langzhou! However, you will need to send 5,000 musketeers to the western border to fight the Angkor dynasty to show your loyalty! ”
Zhao Rui's eyes flickered, and he groaned, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty was inevitably too easy to speak, he could keep the city by helping him fight, and he could still be the prince of the Chen Dynasty?
Could it be that the Angkor dynasty beat them too hard?
"Don't go!" Zhao Rui finished speaking with a cold face, and drank tea by himself.
The three envoys stared at each other in a round eye, even if they thought of various possibilities, they would never have imagined that Zhao Rui would send them away with such a fluttering two words.
This is not only an insult to them, but also an insult to the emperor and the Chen Dynasty!
"Zhao Rui!" The envoy's face turned pale, and he called him by his name: "What qualifications do you have to be arrogant!" Aren't you afraid that my Da Chen will send a male army to recruit you? Moreover, what is so great about muskets, since you have them, the Song Dynasty is so big that others must have them! Seeing that you are a prince to give you some face, heh, I think you are tired of life! ”
As soon as the words fell, Arjuna, who was standing on Zhao Rui's side, brushed up, the scimitar was half cut out of its sheath, and the bright white blade was cold, which made several messengers a little unnatural, but they still raised their heads with their chests up, so as not to lose the prestige of the Chen Dynasty.
Zhao Rui raised his hand gently, making Arjuna somewhat restrained.
Now Zhao Rui probably understands what Emperor Chen meant, that is, he wants to make himself useful to him without blood!
Duan's good calculation, first of all, Langzhou City is in the mountainous area, which was originally built to defend the Song Dynasty, but now the Song Dynasty is being hit by the Yuan army, so even if it is occupied by themselves, they are not in a hurry to recover it. It just so happens that he can use this to drive himself to take refuge, and then use his musketeers to fight against the Angkor Dynasty.
The Jiaozhi people are not credible, this is what Zhao Rui has known for a long time, when Vietnam was invaded by the United States, it was China that provided a large number of materials and weapons to help them tide over the difficulties. As a result, this group of despicable villains actually curryed favor with the Soviet Union again and turned against China, so the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack broke out.
This is reasonable and morally unacceptable to every Chinese.
But for now, Chen Chao's understanding of the situation is still too presumptuous.
The musket, not to mention in the Song Dynasty, is the only one in the world owned by Zhao Rui!
The arrogant attitude of the envoys of the Chen Dynasty is very unpleasant, and their Chen Dynasty is simply arrogant in Yelang.
"Come on, take the three of them!" Zhao Rui said lightly, and immediately five or six stout warriors came up to subdue the three of them.
The three invincible envoys immediately panicked: "Zhao Rui, what are you doing, do you understand the rules, don't you know that the two armies will not fight and not kill?" ”
"I won't kill you, but I can't accept your attitude, so you slap each other a hundred times, your strength is too small, otherwise I will tie you up in the rain forest and make dinner for poisonous insects and beasts!"
Zhao Rui's expression was indifferent, it didn't look like a fake at all, the envoys were suddenly scared, and everyone watched, so they had to slap each other and I slapped each other, the number was not more than half, but they were already the image of a pig's head.
"Zhao Rui, we will definitely report what you have done to Your Majesty, I hope you will not regret today's things in the future!"
The envoy at the head had a fierce look in his eyes, but because his face was too swollen, Zhao Rui couldn't see it.
"Yes, go back and tell your emperor, let him have some self-knowledge, use me as a gunman, he is not qualified enough! Let him send me all the tribute he owes, and I will collect it all on behalf of the court!" ”
What the!
The envoys still felt that it was just Zhao Rui who was arrogant and wanted to go to heaven, but he was afraid of being beaten and did not dare to answer, so he had to flee from the city in a hurry.
Just as they arrived in Thang Long City, when they arrived at the palace, they even added fuel to the fire and said that Zhao Rui did not know how to lift and was arrogant.
This is a naked provocation for the emperor of the Chen Dynasty!
"Father, what do you think is going to be good?"
Jiaozhi Emperor Chen Shengzong's name is Chen Xuan, and his thirties are in the prime of life, but the Chen Dynasty has always practiced imperial politics, that is, everything is decided by his father, and the Emperor Chen Taizong.
Chen Taizong Chen Jiong paced with his hands behind his back, with a posture that the world was under control.
"Hmph, after robbing four small cities, we haven't made a serious crusade yet, he dares to speak wildly, he doesn't take our Chen Dynasty seriously!"
Chen Jiong is fifty-three today, and the continuous battles have made him a little exhausted, after all, the power of the Angkor Dynasty is too strong.
"Pass my will, mobilize 80,000 people from the Eastern Army, attack Langzhou with all your might, directly hit Yongping Village, and completely wipe out the forces of that ignorant boy named Zhao Rui!"
"The Emperor is wise and martial!"
"The Emperor is mighty and domineering!"
After listening to the emperor's decision, the three envoys were overjoyed, and they could finally take revenge!
Only Chen Shengzong Chen Xuan said with a difficult face: "Father Wang, be cautious, now we are fighting with the Angkor Dynasty inextricably, and the troops everywhere need to be replenished at any time, if these 80,000 people are mobilized, I am afraid that the internal emptiness will lead to the consequences of having no soldiers available!" ”
"Cowering, how to make it happen!"
Chen Jiong was angry like a grumpy lion, Chen Xuan's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to say it again.
"Go down first!"
Chen Jiong also felt that it was a bit of a loss of face to reprimand the emperor in front of the minister, so he first sent the adults away, and then said to Chen Xuan earnestly: "Our army of 80,000 is more than several times the population around Langzhou City, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Oh, I...... I've heard that their muskets are too sharp......"
"Okay, muskets are not a new thing, they are probably scary, and I haven't seen them before!"
Chen Jiong took his father's stubbornness, Chen Xuan had to listen honestly, all the rights were in his father's hands.
Don't look at the fact that Jiaozhi attaches so much importance to Zhao Rui's occupation of the city, but other countries don't take it seriously at all, such a small territory, such a small population, and under the attack of the three forces, it is just a joke of the country wild man!
Taishi Jia Yidao also received the information, sneered twice, wiped his nose with it, and then played with his crickets. And the emperor Zhao Yuan spent all day drinking, he didn't know about it at all, and even he forgot that there was Zhao Rui.
And the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Borkin, because of Arjuna's relationship, also wrote a letter in person, asking Zhao Rui to take refuge in Dayuan and bring Arjuna back, so that he could make an exception to be the marshal of the navy!
Commander of the Mongolian Navy...... Zhao Rui even thought of modern cross talk.
But now it seems that the Yuan army occupies Liaodong and Shandong, and it can really form a navy.
Zhao Rui just smiled coldly when he got the reply, which shows how much Emperor Yuan hated himself. Knowing that the Mongols were not adapted to naval warfare, they wanted to send themselves to death.
In history, the Yuan Dynasty conquered Japan twice and encountered strong winds and waves, both of which paid a heavy price.
Japan is a must-conquer place in Zhao Rui's heart, but it's not time yet.
However, this day will certainly not be too far away, now the arsenal is producing bullets all the time, although the proficiency of the workers is not enough, resulting in a small production, but after all, it is developing on the good side.
The future is a world of maritime hegemony, and Zhao Rui has long planned to form a navy, but this matter will not be planned until the coastal towns of Jiaozhi are occupied!
Now the fishing technology is backward, and when Zhao Rui starts to build ships, he will definitely develop from fishing boats, and then countless seafood will become an excellent nutritional supplement for the soldiers.
