Chapter 40: Crises Arise
Zhao Tianyou was also stunned for a moment, is this girl really a French breed? Don't say France, even if it's authentic French, we'll have a few words.
“Bonjour!”
This hello is the first French sentence that Zhao Tianyou learned, but I don't know if it is the same as this thirteenth-century France, but looking at the masked woman's surprised expression, she should have understood what she said.
"I'll just say that, are you really from France?"
The masked woman's originally surprised eyes gradually changed, and she became enthusiastic and stared at Zhao Tianyou, Zhao Tianyou was a little hairy, and she didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth, and her eyes were cold when she looked at each other.
"I haven't been to France, but it's my mother's hometown, a place as beautiful as a fairyland and paradise, full of fertile land and verdant forests, where countless animals and humans live together. There were no fights, no fights between people, and under the handsome king, everything was in order.
This warrior, you are black-eyed and yellow-skinned, and you look like a Chinese, how can you speak the language there! Have you been there? ”
Zhao Tianyou said in his heart, he will become a warrior soon, it can be seen how important it is to master more foreign languages!
"I haven't been, but I've seen people from France, learned from them, on ships and docks, there are a lot of blond foreigners!" This is Zhao Tianyou's foolishness, the merchant ships in Quanzhou at that time, maybe there were people from Europe, they all came with Arab cargo ships, and there were definitely not many people.
Zhao Tianyou's answer slightly disappointed Miyue, just now a thought suddenly popped up in her heart, if Zhao Tianyou is familiar with the French language, ask him to persuade his mother, can he increase the chances of winning. But Zhao Tianyou only learned a few words from others, and he didn't really go to France, so the enthusiasm was dispelled at the beginning.
"This warrior, today is not a fight and no acquaintance, please forgive me for my recklessness, Mitsuki apologizes to you! We'll meet later, and if we meet again, I'll invite you to drink. After Mitsuki finished speaking, he bowed slightly on his horse, and then whistled away with a wave of his horse's head.
Meng Hao regained his vigor and said: "Sect Leader Zhao, you are still powerful, a foreign word will scare her away, otherwise if you really make a move, I am afraid that I will miss and hurt someone!" ”
"Okay, Meng Hao, don't stare at people and smile in the future, especially at women, women are unreasonable, understand?"
"No, I just think Sister Shui Rou is reasonable."
Zhao Tianyou rolled his eyelids, glared at him and said, "Hey, you kid is getting fatter and fatter, you are talking about Shui Rou behind your back, I'll tell her when I go back!" ”
"Sect leader, good sect leader, you spare me, don't tell Sister Shui Rou, otherwise I will die. Come and I'll help you lead the donkey, teach you to slow down! ”
Zhao Tianyou did not refuse, flew on the donkey, and let Meng Hao lead the donkey and slowly walked towards Quanzhou City.
……
Wen Tianxiang took more than 10,000 people to his subordinates, and after more than a month of tossing and turning, he finally came to Lin'an Qinwang. He was rewarded by Emperor Deyou in front of the palace, and the official worshiped the prefect of Pingjiang Mansion, but because Chen Yizhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, went out and did not return, he did not go directly to his post but waited in Lin'an.
He spent his days playing chess and drinking tea with his subordinates in the post house, but Wen Tianxiang's heart was anxious, as if he was on fire. The battle reports from all over the country are like snowflakes, all of them are besieged and asked for help, or the city is broken and killed, and there is a lot of news of opening the city gate to surrender the Yuan soldiers.
After the city of Nanjing was broken, the Yuan army was recuperating in a big way, and there were rebel generals on the waterway who led ships to seal the river to intercept, and the sword was out of the sheath and the arrow was wound, and the next step was to attack Changzhou. And he, the prefect of Pingjiang Mansion, was still waiting for the documents to be sent out in Lin'an, which really made him helpless.
The favored minister Jia Yidao was ruined and died, but there were many mistakes in the government caused by him, the civil officials were talentless and the generals were brave, and the Manchu Dynasty did not have a few available talents. With the surrender of the Yuan soldiers to the Xiangyang garrison Lu Wenhuan and the preparation of the soldiers and horses to be the vanguard of the crusade against Lin'an, someone in the court actually wrote a letter to reward the clansmen of the Lu clan in the court, and even to chase the gossip of Lu Wende.
In order to do this, the starting point is so naïve and ridiculous, it is to show goodwill to Lu Wenhuan, who is about to send troops to Lin'an, hoping that he will miss the old feelings more, please the Yuan army through the Lu family, and prepare to pay tribute and cede land to sue for peace.
Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, has already made up his mind to go south, how can it be a problem that can be solved by the land reparation, this matter can even be seen by ordinary people, and the Yuan soldiers will be in the whole south of the Yangtze River and the whole world. However, some so-called advisers in the court came up with such a bad idea, and they also jointly wrote a letter asking the Holy Order to reward the Lu family.
"Lord Wen, the battle report from Sichuan, the Yuan army broke through two cities in a row, slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of the whole city, and killed and injured countless people." Du Hu, the general under his command, had just come from the post station to inquire about the news, and whispered in Wen Tianxiang's ear.
Wen Tianxiang was depressed in his heart, slapped the chess pieces in his hand on the table, and roared: "Don't wait for me, continue to ask to see the emperor, and hand over a copy of the fold every day until the emperor is willing to see me." ”
"Yes, sir!" Some of his men took the order and left.
At this time, the Yuan soldiers raised troops throughout the territory, and the flames of war had already ignited in Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, and Huainan. The waterway soldiers have already set up camp in Jinling, and the surrendered generals are gathering the ships and sailors of the former Great Song Dynasty Naval Division, building new warships, and soon marching eastward along the Yangtze River, pointing at Lin'an.
At that time, there were two ways of people who should be called the king of soldiers, Zhang Shijie, who had helped Ezhou, led his soldiers to bypass Raozhou in order to enter Lin'an. At that time, King Qin's edict was sent out in many copies, and there were no soldiers and horses to aid Lin'an, and only Zhang Shijie led the troops to arrive first.
Because of this feat, Zhang Shijie was rewarded again and again, and the officials to the dragon, the gods, and the guards all commanded the envoys, and led the army to defend Lin'an. In addition, there are soldiers and horses all the way to help Lin'an, that is, Hunan sentenced Li Fu, and was later appointed as the Hunan pacification envoy and concurrently served as the prefect of Tanzhou, commanding 60,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Tanzhou.
The military intelligence report changes every day, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is shrinking every day, and the flames of war are gradually burning towards Lin'an. Wen Tianxiang was anxiously waiting for the dispatch here, and in the southeast of Quanzhou City, Pu Shougeng sat alone in the hall drinking tea, another messenger from afar, he thought about seeing or not seeing.
The day before yesterday, Jiang Gongzi introduced Wu Rida, he refused without thinking about it, if it was because of business, this little money would not need him to go out, and Wu Rida's level was not enough. If it was official business, of course he knew where Princess Miyue was who ran away secretly, and how could even the secret of that foreign nun be hidden from his ears and eyes. But he won't help him, the general trend of the world is unknown, and the Yuan soldiers have always had the upper hand and need him to worry, but he will never interfere in the internal problems of the Yuan Dynasty's royal family.
But the identity of the person I asked to see today is very different, and if I do, there is no turning back.
