In Dengzhou in May and a half, although the weather was sunny and good, it was only unbearable to be hot.

Thousands of miles away the war in Guanzhong has no impact on this place, Dengzhou City is 'calm and calm', all day long are ships coming and going, in and out, the whole picture of prosperous commerce and trade, people's livelihood flourishing peaceful and prosperous scene.

It was under this luxuriant atmosphere that the Jurchen delegation of the Jin Kingdom arrived. is making Yan Xiyin, deputy envoy Gao Qingyi.

One of these two people is a rare cultural person among the Jurchens, and the other is a Bohai who surrendered to the Jurchens, a language expert who is proficient in Chinese, Jurchen, and Khitan, and previously worked as a general in the Jurchen general Wanyan Zonghan's army.

This Wanyan Zonghan is Sticky Han, his Laozi is the national theory of the Jin State (equivalent to the Minister of State) Wanyan Sagai, and his status is very prominent. This branch of theirs is also regarded as the Jurchen clansmen, and they are the eldest brother of the bowl after the impeachment of Yan.

Wanyan Ugunai was the main figure in unifying the Jurchen tribes. He liked the courage and courage of his second son, Wanyan and Libo, so the descendants of the impeachment of Libo dominated Jurchen politics. When the sons were all adults, according to Jurchen custom, they should have moved to different places, but Ugunai let the eldest son and the second son live in the same house, and the impeacher would be in charge of household affairs, and the impeachment would be in charge of foreign affairs. This is a major reason why the sons of the impeacher, Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Zonghan, have long served as the post of national minister (equivalent to the prime minister), and the sons of the impeachment of Libo Wanyan Aguta and Wanyan Wu Qimai became emperors. At the same time, this is also the beginning of the Jurchens in history.

Because of 'history', when Wanyan Aguta first became Dubo Jilie, he divided and ruled the Jurchen tribes with Wanyan Sagai. The north of Pideshui is ruled by Wanyan Aguta, and the area around Lailiushui is ruled by Wanyan Sagai. Therefore, the strength of the latter within the Jurchens is very strong.

This Wanyan Xiyin is one of Wanyan Zonghan's henchmen, his family is just as extraordinary, and he is also one of the planners in major events such as Wanyan Agu's attack on Liao and the proclamation of emperor.

The Jurchens used him as an envoy to visit Lu Qi, which was the importance they attached to Lu Qi.

Nearly 300 members, servants, and guards of the entourage landed on the day when the Liangshan Army broke Wannian County, and then set up a guard of honor all the way to the meeting house in Dengzhou City.

This was one of the four teams of envoys sent by the Jurchens, and the remaining three teams went to the Khitan, Western Xia, and Zhao Song respectively. As for how they passed, Lu Qian didn't care, what he really cared about was the Espionage Division. Anyway, judging from the news fed back by Guo Yaoshi and others, the Khitan people are wary of this!

As for Zhao Song, the current news is that they haven't entered Jiangling yet.

And just talk about Dengzhou here. Most of the Jurchens are landlubbers, and they can enter Dengzhou from Liaodong, which must be taken by sea. Smooth sailing, the time of the day has arrived. But after getting off the ship, most of the 300 members of the entire mission fell. All of them are weak!

Gao Qing's descendants are still good, but when Wanyan Xiyin got off the boat, both eyes became mosquito coils, and when he forced patience to deal with the right man of Honglu Temple who came to greet him, his feet shook straight.

In the hotel, the Jurchen and his party rested for three days in a row, and then they saw a good meeting. Listen to the words of the right Cheng Yuwen Huang of Honglu Temple who came to greet him, this road to Yidu is feasible by water and by land. Therefore, when he came to inquire about what decision to make, Yan Xiyin chose the land route without hesitation.

Yuwen Huangzhong did not take refuge in Lu Qi for a long time, but with his talent and knowledge of the etiquette system, it didn't take long for him to rise to the fifth in command of Honglu Temple. It can be seen that once this person has talent and learning, he is extraordinary.

With Yan Xiyin's spit, Yuwen Huangzhong has to take care of it quickly. Gao Qingyi came back and forth with him, holding a pinch of newspaper in his hand and handing it to Wanyan Xiyin.

The Jurchens have no sources in Luqi, they have a hole in their brains, they are not as good as the Koreans, and they also know how to set up a warehouse in Dengzhou. The only source of news about Lu Qi from this Jurchen was the newspaper that the merchants of the Central Plains brought to Liaodong. But when you read a newspaper, especially an official one, it's covered in a layer of sugar.

As far as the current "News" is concerned, the news on it is that three points are whitewashing the peace. The officialdom under Lu Qi is not bad, but it is not all incorruptible.

In the previous life, there was a saying that if a worker eats one or two, he will not starve to death the squad leader; The workers eat a penny, and the administrator does not starve to death.

In the early days of New China, in such an environment, such a sentence could be left, which shows that this corruption is difficult to eradicate.

Lu Qian is not unaware of this, but this is the general trend, and it cannot be reversed. Therefore, he directly opened up the restrictions on newspapers and periodicals, and the newspapers of various ministries and yamen, the provincial and state capitals, and even the counties, but anyone who had money could run a newspaper. The next step is even to open up the restrictions on the press......

Gao Qingyi's symptoms of seasickness are far milder than those of Wanyan Xiyin, who has read countless newspapers in the past two days, and the most intuitive impression of Lu Qi in his mind is that he is as prosperous as the sea, and the people of Guotai are happy, all of which are like a prosperous and peaceful world.

"It's okay to take this by land, we can also see more about the people of Lu Qi." Gao Qingyi has not experienced the days when eighty percent of the pages of the "News Daily" were negative news, and he has a suspicion of it in his heart, and regards it as the newspaper of the Liao and Song Dynasty that day. Seeing is believing. "I don't know where they have been. What is the difference between Zhao Song and this Lu Qi......"

Moreover, if they don't know about the Central Plains, the Jurchens also know about the situation of the Liangshan Army and the Song Army. In their eyes, this Liang Shanjun is very similar to the Nuzhen, and even godlike. All of them developed from a small and inconspicuous place, and then set off a monstrous wave in a short period of time. Even speaking, this Lu Qian's family background is not as good as theirs.

But now, people are invincible all over Liao, Song and Xia. The news that the Liangshan army broke the 300,000-strong army of Western Xia had already been published in the newspapers.

And the Western Xia people, that is where the Liao army can suffer, and it is still the Liao army seventy or eighty years ago. Although this Jurchen felt that the Western Xia was a small country and weak, he also took the combat effectiveness of the Western Xia soldiers seriously. Otherwise, four missions would not have been sent this time, and one of them would go to Western Xia.

is also because of Lu Qi's strength, 'the tide rises', and the overall image has become tall in the eyes of the Jurchens.

Wanyan Xiyin's face is still white, but his spirit has recovered and his mind is clear. "Remember when we came to the shore, the soldiers up and down the water city?" At that time, he endured a headache and carefully paid attention to the front and back of the swordfish village.

It was a water village, and it should be all sailors. But the soldiers on duty, the soldiers on the warships, all wore armor, held their heads high, and had a strong temperament. However, the military discipline is strict, and the military posture is resolute......

As soon as Yan Xiyin came out, this is a strong soldier, a first-class strong soldier.

The armor is bright, and there is a strong courage, such a soldier is already good. It's also disciplined. This is very similar to the Jurchen soldiers.

The only difference is that the fierceness of the Jurchens was caused by hardships in the deep mountains and old forests, and their cruelty was due to their ignorance, while the fierceness of the Liangshan army was due to strict training, hard training, and excellent treatment.

The Jurchen soldiers were also strict in military discipline, and everyone had a wild nature, but they were able to strictly abide by discipline. This is not because the Jurchens were born to be soldiers, what Jurchens are not ten thousand and invincible, this is all nonsense. It's because they're fools. It's still the old tradition in the mountains and forests back then, just do what you say you want, and don't do it if you don't call it dry.

But Wanyan Xiyin knows what the Han people are like. Why do the young people in the north say that the Han people are cunning and cunning? It's not that they themselves have little knowledge, they are not civilized enough, and they have what their brains are, and no matter how honest the Han merchants are, they will draw from the camp, and they will be compared. In front of those people, this has become cunning and cunning.

Therefore, the more 'smart' people are, the more difficult it is to achieve elite soldiers in the era of cold weapons, and the more they think, the more they miss. In later generations, many generals chose peasant sons to serve as soldiers, not urban people, which is not unreasonable.

Compared with the latter, the former has less knowledge, but there are also fewer ghost ideas, and people are simple and responsible, which is the most popular among military generals.

Wanyan Xiyin is a cultural person, and he has some knowledge, thinking about Liang Shanjun and his own soldiers and horses, he feels that he is afraid that the non-Jurchen elite soldiers cannot compete with him. But how many real female soldiers are there in the Jin Kingdom after all? It was the bones and bones of the army, and the skin and flesh were all Khitan, Bohai and Han people.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of Jurchens was really scarce, the combat effectiveness of the Jin soldiers would probably not have fallen so quickly.

Wanyan Xiyin now wants to take a look in the territory of Lu Qi, and wants to see soldiers and horses like Daoyu Village, how many Great Qi countries there are after all.

In other words, they really chose the land route.

When the Jurchen mission left the city, the movement was far from being comparable to when it entered the city.

Yuwen Huangzhong led a group of soldiers and horses to follow them, and in addition to that, the military and political governor of Dengzhou came to see them off, and then he didn't follow.

Going straight along the official road, the Liangshan army did not send superior forces to watch them, nor did it restrict their freedom of movement. Of course, there must be rules, if a person slips in a circle halfway, or slips away to a place where he shouldn't go, he will be punished for espionage if he is caught.

Lu Qi and Jin Guo had already reported this.

Wanyan Xiyin also saw from here that Lu Qi was not afraid of their big gold at all.

This kind of notification is a requirement that they have not encountered in the Khitan.

It has been a short time since the Liaojin armistice, but the two negotiations have not been able to be reached. The Khitans were reluctant to put it down, just like the Great Gang and the Western Xia, both sides could not fight, so they were peaceful. But what about the relationship between the two countries? At that time, Li Yuanhao's confidence was far less than that of the Jurchens, so he was soft and shorter than Zhao Song. Now the Khitans are counting on the Jurchens to bow their heads so that they can earn back a little face.

But where will the Jurchens bow their heads to the Khitan? The two sides have been negotiating again and again, but they have not been able to reach each other.

The Jurchen envoys traveled to Daliao again and again, but they did not have the current treatment. They are just like the Liao envoys in Zhao and Song Dynasty earlier, horizontally. No one can care!

But when it came to Ren Lu Qi, Wanyan Xiyin only thought of one sentence: It's the dragon you coil for me, it's the tiger you lie down for me. This is other people's territory, and other people's territory is in charge.

Lu Qi's attitude and momentum are not ordinary tough.

But don't say it, this person is all cheap, if you are hard, he will be soft. This is a truth that has not been broken for thousands of years.

Lu Qi's toughness according to my rules made the Jurchens dare not exceed the rules.

Halfway through May, it is the busy time for farming. The golden wheat rises and falls with the wind, and the wheat waves roll like a golden sea.

Wanyan Xiyin and Gao Qingyi have come along the way, and they have a full view of the customs and folklore of half of the land of Qilu. (https:)
