Chapter 35 Tartar is credible, the sow goes up the tree!
The group of Tatar envoys were furious and stayed for two days in a small mansion in the area of the Badao River before they were received. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And the person receiving him was not their big boss, he was a tall young man, no matter how big he was, he still had a green look on his face.
However, the communication between the two sides was quite smooth, and the young man did not say any childish words.
In fact, when it comes to smooth communication, Hou Dongfang grasped the bottom line handed over to him by Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, and Wang Defa:
That is, do not talk about peace, do not block, and do not take the initiative to attack the spirit of the "three noes".
They had consulted beforehand, and had guessed what the Tatars might do...... According to the usual pragmatism of the Tatar bandit groups, their promises, treaties and contracts are all foolishness.
Earlier, before "Duanping entered Luo", their envoy to the Great Song Dynasty had promised in the imperial court that the land of Luoyang could be ceded to the Great Song Dynasty.
At that time, both Luoyang and Bianliang had already been slaughtered by the Tatars to the point that there was no one left, and the entire Central Plains had been completely destroyed by the Tatars, and almost no one lived.
Even if the Jinghu Theater does not cooperate with it, it is estimated that there is no way to hold it for a long time.
The Tatars themselves did not occupy those big cities...... As you can imagine, they don't see the value there. However, few or even none of the Song monarchs, especially the high-ranking officials, knew this, and they were overly optimistic about the promises made to the Tatar envoys.
So it became a seemingly correct and wrong choice, which was politically and morally correct, but not militarily.
They may have forgotten that in a jungle society, the handle of the knife is more important than anything else.
Therefore, Zhang Guoan and Wang Defa ignore their peace negotiations, if they believe in the robber group that made their fortune by robbery, it is better to believe that the sow will go to the tree!
The words of Hou Dongfang and the Tatar envoy almost didn't make the other party angry!
The young man's manners were not lacking, and his speech was courteous, but almost all of them refused all the demands of the Tatar envoys, and there was nothing to talk about.
The Tatar envoy had asked at least six times in the conversation whether you, the young man, could fully represent the master of the island.
Each time, I got an affirmative answer from the other party...... The Tatar envoy was really angry, and said fiercely: "Erke has ever seen the iron horse of the Great Khan?!" ”
Hou Dongfang replied softly: "I have seen ...... among the captives on the Shandong Peninsula."
“…… They are nothing more than miscellaneous armies and civilian armies! ”
"As long as he comes to the Shandong Peninsula, then I will see ...... in the prisoner camp"
“……”
"Please report back to your big boss, we have to decide on the Shandong Peninsula, we will catch as many as we come!"
"So arrogant at a young age...... Just with your projectile land?! ”
They've been walking around for the past two days, and no one seems to be following or supervising them...... In their eyes, this is indeed a place of projectiles!
Of course, this is related to the urban planning of Zhang Guoan, who tried his best to plan the city into a topological shape, so as to form a structure of the main city and satellite cities, which is needless to say, but in the eyes of the Tatar envoys, it is indeed too small, piece by piece.
Hou Dongfang said calmly: "It's really because of this projectile land that it will be so ......."
“……”
The Tatar envoy felt that it would be useless for him to make threats, and that the communication between the two sides would not be effective.
However, they didn't come in vain, everyone bought some bargains to take away...... It used to be very expensive.
But psychologically, they feel that they have suffered a big loss, and they have bought it with their own money!
It's not that Zhang Guoan is stingy...... In this plane, there are too many kings and princes who come here with ships to buy and play.
At first, he treated them as a Ryukyu country, but soon found out that he was wrong, inexplicably, a place the size of a village, but ten thousand people are also called a country!
So, he stipulated that there was no public hotel or guest house like Honglu Temple, so find a place to live by yourself, and if there is no place, you can live on a boat!
As a result, there was a small upsurge of opening a mansion there...... Of course, at present, Jia An's food, food, housing, and play are still the boss, but he is also quite nervous, because he heard that there is a big household in Lin'an City that is about to open here...... Of course, the increase in the flow of people will lead to the development of the sexual/erotic service industry here.
The Tatar emissaries, of course, took a closer look at the place in secret.
First of all, there is the large cement dock of mules and horses...... It is even bigger than the one in Lin'an City, and it can moor countless sea ships at one time, the mast is like a forest, and the sails are like clouds!
In fact, he did not need such a literary description, but he could tell him that he could dock 1,700 ships of more than 50 tons at a time, and that so far he had never docked so quickly at one time.
The commerce of this time and space is also basically calculated in years, like the business speed of Zhang Guoan's owner, in the eyes of other maritime merchants, it is like a rocket developing.
Secondly, they went to the barracks to have a look...... Of course, they were not allowed to enter, but seeing that the wall of the barracks was a foot high, and this place was the same as the fortress at the mouth of the river, it was simply an impregnable place, and who said they did not have walls?!
This time they thought wrongly, the owner of Zhang Guoan Island never had the idea of using the military camp as a fortress, if there was really a war, it would definitely serve as a safe place for women and children, and the soldiers, except for the personnel who protected them, all went out to fight!
The Tatar envoys also found that the road here is quite smooth, very suitable for cavalry attacks, the narrowest road can accommodate four horses to gallop together, and there are wooden poles and street lamps on both sides of the road, at night, they add lamp oil at one time, often in the middle of the night one by one burned, they really have money, at night, than most of the brighter halls, and Lin'an, Quanzhou up and down.
In fact, in terms of lighting, if calculated in proportion, Badaohe City is far better than the Great Song Dynasty.
If Mayor Yao Mai heard others say this, he would definitely be very angry, Lin'an City and Quanzhou City are famous, they are just a few lanterns on the main road...... I have even a trail here!
How does Da Song compare with me?
However, no one mentioned the matter in front of him, and he could not show off by arguing.
He now found that in Zhang Guoan's plan to surround the banks of the Badao River, this so-called Badaohe City will be compared with Lin'an City in terms of scale...... It's just that we have to take our time slowly, and now, with the floating population, there are already more than 400,000, and the development situation is very good.
But those Tatar envoys still laughed while observing, the number of horses here, the number of horses here is pitiful, the ox carts are all gone, haha, they all laughed, far less than the land of my capital!
Of course, this cavalry problem is not a matter of one or two years, and Zhang Guoan and Wang Defa believe that it is better to solve the problem of agriculture, transportation and industrial use first...... There are now four major khanates in the world, and they have to honestly wait for themselves to develop well for ten or twenty years.
Finally, the Tatar emissaries observed that there was a kind of soldier called the Patrolman, and all of them were literate...... Maybe it's patrolling the city, but they're all literate, so it's so good.
Liuqiu Island is a place where the island is governed by law, but the basic social security is still done by the patrol police, so it is not too wrong to call it a police society.
Ordinary public security cases are directly handled by patrol police...... So, if the patrol is illiterate, it is a joke.
When the Tatar envoys left with large bags and small bags, they discussed the need to report to the big boss about the rudeness and laxity of the island...... A team of 10,000 people can easily wipe out this place!
The most important thing is that the people here are really rich. (To be continued.) )
