The Jinghu system made Lu Wende really angry, and he wanted to remove the stone cannons at the head of the two cities of Xiangfan by himself!

Who could have made this stupid decision!!

He decided not to carry it out, and even decided to go to Lin'an in person to question him face to face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, after receiving the secret letter from Pingzhang Jia Nidao, he immediately calmed down and resolutely complied.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The envoys sent by the Tatar bandit group lived in the Lin'an Duting Station, and they shouted vigorously to see the official family of the Great Song Dynasty.

During this period, diplomatic envoys continued to come and go between the two countries.

When the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty arrived in Dadu, the treatment of food was quite poor, and they needed to pay out of their own pockets to be full.

Speaking of which, the question arises, this is a business trip, even if you don't embezzle travel expenses, why do you let the envoys post it upside down? No one wants to do it.

In order to solve this problem, the Southern Song Dynasty court would issue funds and subsidies in advance, and the funds would be sent to the envoys, and the subsidies would be issued to the families of the envoys. In addition to the envoys, the retinue also received subsidies.

That being said, such a business trip is still a chore, and most officials don't want to go.

The officials of the Southern Song Dynasty were reluctant to send envoys to Dadu, but the officials of Dadu were very happy to send envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Why? The reception standards of the Southern Song Dynasty were too high, and the hospitality was too meticulous.

As soon as their envoys crossed the Huai River, they didn't have to worry about eating, drinking, and wearing themselves, and the magistrates of the Southern Song Dynasty were responsible for the reception, welcoming them from afar, and feasting everywhere. The security work is also very well done, and Song Bing Song will escort them along the way.

Arrived at Lin'an City. From the tide gate to the Chaotian gate, a temporary police booth is set up every fifteen zhang, and each temporary police box arranges five traffic police officers on duty, and the traffic control of the place where the envoys pass through is as majestic as the emperor's patrol.

The envoys stayed, and the Great Song Dynasty officials had a banquet. The prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty invited a banquet and invited people to eat at least once a day.

When the banquet is not invited, Du Tingyi is responsible for managing the meal, and will never let the envoys cook and eat by themselves.

Even when leaving, the Southern Song Dynasty court also gave souvenirs.

The general standard is that there are thirty horses of silk and satin, two horses of good horses, ten taels of gold, and one hundred taels of silver; The deputy envoy made twenty pieces of silk and satin. A good horse of a horse, five taels of gold and fifty taels of silver.

When the people in the Tatar bandit group heard that they were going to "send an envoy to the Southern Dynasty", everyone volunteered and enthusiastically signed up, lest this good opportunity fall on someone else's head.

So. The envoys of the Tatar bandit group felt quite awesome.

Pingzhang Jia seemed to have a banquet for him, in the form of a private banquet. It's still a separate meal system.

The envoys of the Tatar bandit group were originally the Hanchen of Jin, and when the Tatars came, they took refuge in the Tatars.

He ate the delicacies of the Great Song Dynasty beautifully, drank the fine wine of the Great Song Dynasty, and arrogantly said the requirements of Kublai Khan's great leader.

At that time, Pingzhang Jia seemed to be so angry that he almost threw the plate in his face. This thing was created by the old man secretly promoted, and if you wait for a word, you will have to remove the city?!

Pingzhang Jia seemed to hold back his anger at that time, and reasoned with him with a smile.

Originally. That's the city of the Great Song Dynasty, what does it have to do with you?!

However, this Hanchen-born Hanchen, who grew up drinking wolf milk, made Ju Na unreasonably stir up three points, and it was those few words repeatedly, and it would not work if he didn't take it down.

Pingzhang Jia rolled his eyes, smiled, used the other party's way of talking, and began to slap the table, saying, "It's not impossible to take it down, so what price do you give the old man?!" How about withdrawing one to a hundred horses?! ”

The envoy was furious at that time: "Just look at your Lin'an city there are hundreds of horses, and one city is more than 10,000 horses, are you a fool to me?!" ”

"How many horses are you going to give?"

"When did I say I was going to give the horse?!"

"Don't you think there are more than 10,000 horses, the number can be negotiated------"

“------”

The argument between the two sides reached a fever pitch, and after the envoy dropped a cup, Pingzhang Jia seemed to drop a plate.

Anyway, it was a private banquet and there were no bystanders present.

The envoy found out that this Pingzhang Jia seemed to be really shameless, and he didn't care about his status as an important minister, and he didn't miss him by playing a hooligan, so he finally had a good discussion.

It was initially decided that the two cities of Xiangfan would remove the stone cannons, and then the Tatar bandit group would send 500 horses to the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides would never exchange swords and guns for five years.

In this way, the envoy met with the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides began to formally sign a contract, and the official family of the Great Song Dynasty endorsed two copies, and then asked the envoy to bring it back, and also asked the chief of Kublai Khan to endorse it, and then sent back a copy, so that it could be officially effective.

The Great Song government will never believe in the verbal agreement again.

As mentioned above, in the incident of Duanping and Luo, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty mistakenly believed the promises of the other party's envoys, and only then did they suffer a huge dumb loss.

The envoy quickly returned to the capital.

The great leader of Kublai Khan was very satisfied with this result, five hundred horses, too small.

If you don't go to war for five years, let him go to war now, and he won't be able to fight.

In fact, the contract signed by the Tatars was meant to be torn up, which is similar to that of Pingzhangjia.

Otherwise, in real history, Kublai Khan's great leader still admired him very much and said a lot of praise.

At that time, Pingzhang Jia Rudao had a secret conversation with Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and said: "Official, this contract can be used for the Great Song Dynasty to recuperate for five years on the surface, but what the Tatars say is not credible------"

The face of Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, changed a little, then, why did you sign this contract?!

Ping Zhangjia seemed to smile slightly and was very sinister, and said: "It's just to let the other party think that I just have to wait for the letter------ the craftsmen have learned how to build the stone cannon, and they can re-install it at any time." ”

Ancient China has long been able to process stone cannons, but I don't know why, thousands of them, until the Southern Song Dynasty, it was still pulled by manpower, which made the counterweight return cannon the most advanced weapon at that time, which is really speechless.

However, as soon as the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty learned this principle, they immediately showed their resourcefulness and innovation.

The previous stone cannons, because most of them were built in a hurry before the battle, there was no standardization at all.

At that time, they used 200 to 300 people to pull collectively to throw earth balls or stone balls, and the momentum was also very strong.

Now, due to the constant urging of the commander of the ordnance institute, it has been possible to process the detachable type, and it is getting closer and closer to standardization.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty government decided not to equip this kind of weapon of mass destruction, but the ordnance institute can process accessories, and can let stonemasons make more stone balls, and when the time comes, they can be installed together immediately.

However, there is no need to say it openly.

After Lu Wende, the envoy of Jinghu Manufacturing, asked the sixth brother Lu Wenhuan to read Pingzhang Jia Yidao's secret letter, he smiled and said: "What Pingzhang said is reasonable, now there is no need for this thing provided by Lin'an Armament, there are huge trees all over here, we can build accessories according to the drawings------

His sixth brother Lu Wenhuan said worriedly at this time: "That White Crane Mall ----- afraid it's a hidden danger here." ”

This is the second time it has been proposed, and Lu Wende still said indifferently: "Fake city, don't be afraid!" ------But beware of the Tatars here. (To be continued.) )
