Chapter 218 Qin Cha
In the capital of Annam Province of the Great Song Dynasty, Saigon Province, in the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, Li Zixun, the Jiedu envoy who was in charge of the power of the province, and his auxiliary official Ruan Yun accompanied a person with a bitter face, and the minister of the Imperial Mission, who was specially responsible for dealing with the attack on the Tianzhu envoy group, was from the Jinling Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Qin, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.
I don't know what to say.
Yesterday, they were just about to send the minister in front of them away and send him to Tianzhu to talk to the two theories on Tianzhu's side, so as to get rid of this troublesome thing on their own heads.
Who knows, there is a breath over there, respectively from the Tianzhu Ning Yuanzhou Naval Division Commander and the Burma Province Jiedu Envoy Express, both sides of the news said that in recent days Tianzhu has a large number of sailors, menacing, and then immediately after the Manraka side directly came more exciting news, tightly one day, within one day Manraka gateway Banda Aceh fell, fell into the hands of the Tianzhu army.
This was like a thunderbolt from the blue, beating the hearts of these officials of the Great Song Dynasty in Saigon Province.
King Ning's side was still thinking about the mediation of the minister, but as a result, how to mediate, no one expected Tianzhu's action to be so fast, in just half a month, the preparation for sending troops was completed, and the minister and his party had not yet set off, and the war had already begun.
What to do?
King Ning was already furious, and announced that he would launch a full mobilization to target the shameless sneak attack of the Tianzhu people, and would not let go of an inch of land. As the king of a country, this is already a move he has to make.
And once the war starts, it becomes a situation that King Ning must face even if he is unwilling, this war, no matter what the future looks like, but the war is inevitable,
At this point, the imperial court's original efforts to maintain the conflict as a political means had failed. Even negotiations are something that is only considered after a war.
Otherwise, would he let King Ning be captured?
And now Zhang Qin and his entourage have become an embarrassing situation
What to do?
Go ahead?
Straight through the war zone?
Do you want to go knowing that the war has already begun?
The young minister Zhang Qin didn't think it was a good idea.
He was originally from the Zhang family in Jinling, and this time he came out to mediate, purely to accumulate an international vision, and to prepare for inheriting the traditional position of the Zhang family in the Ministry of Rites in the future.
The six departments of the empire, because of the huge and complex vassal relationship of the empire, the Li Fan Yuan of the Ministry of Rites has always been the top priority of the imperial court's affairs, and the Zhang family has always occupied a place in it, which naturally has extraordinary potential. But I didn't expect that this time the matter would be so big, at this point, Tianzhu had already started a war, what could he do with a little waiter?
How do I complete the task? He didn't think that he would be able to stop the war between the two feudatories when he arrived in Tianzhu.
War is the continuation of politics, is the ultimate way to show the contradiction between the interests of the two sides, to this point, it is no longer a political means can be solved, even the imperial court can not make up for the contradictions between the two sides, in fact, things have developed to this point, it means that the mediation of the imperial court has failed, unless the Great Song Dynasty court mobilizes troops.
Huh, troops?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qin's eyes suddenly lit up and asked:
"Li Yuanjun, the six provinces in central and southern China are in the same breath, I don't know what the relationship between Li Yuanjun is with Du Anbang Du Yuanjun in Myanmar Province bordering Tianzhu, I don't know what the current situation is on their side?"
Although Zhang Qin is young and his official position is not high, now that he is the minister of the Qin Mission, he naturally has the right to supervise the local military affairs related to the mission.
Li Zixun was an envoy of the festival, but he did not dare to make a mistake in front of Zhang Qin, the young man standing in front of him was now a minister of the Qin Mission, he replied:
"Don't dare, in front of the angel, don't dare to call the envoy, what the angel asked, do you want to ask me about the garrison of the Great Song Dynasty in Burma Province?"
Haha, it is worthy of being the envoy of a province, and almost in the blink of an eye, he understood the thoughts of Zhang Qin, the young minister, Li Zixun slandered in his heart, the court is really messing around, and he has been scolding him Li Zixun has been underestimating Tianzhu, which has caused things to go wrong, but the minister they sent is so young and so ignorant of the sky, isn't it even more despised Tianzhu.
He Li Zixun underestimated Tianzhu, but he only underestimated the original governor of Tianzhu Governor's Mansion, at most, things were done badly, and he was not hostile to Tianzhu.
But the young minister asked what was the garrison in the border Burma province? Do you still want to send troops to Tianzhu and threaten Tianzhu's flanks to save this war?
It's just childish and stupid!
There is a lack of trust between Tianzhu and Da Song now, it was he Li Zixun who did an errand, and he Li Zixun admitted it, but at this time, he really moved troops with Tianzhu, oh my God, this is simply going to completely sink the relationship between Tianzhu and Da Song into the abyss.
Is it so easy to move?
Although he understood what the minister meant, he probably just wanted Burma Province to cooperate with the dispatch of troops to threaten it, so that the minister would have the confidence to negotiate with Tianzhu in favor of his side.
But this is too dangerous, Tianzhu is a vassal state after all, not those enemies, and this kind of trick between vassal states is still going to be carried out, which is also too bad to destroy Tianzhu's already bad trust in the Great Song Dynasty!
Although he slandered like this, Li Zixun still obediently told Zhang Qin about the situation,
"Our army does have a defense army in Burma Province, a very small naval division, and an army, the Fierce Army."
What, the Fox Army?
Zhang Qin's eyes lit up when he heard this, the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, the division inherited from the former Song Dynasty, each army, there are at least two compartments, the left compartment and the right compartment, both compartments are all soldiers, according to this calculation, each army has at least more than 20,000 soldiers, these are all full-time soldiers, and they are unremitting training from beginning to end every year.
Only the Great Song Dynasty has such national strength to maintain such an elite standing army.
Didn't expect that there was also a standing army in such a place as the province of Burma?
And there is also a water division, Zhang Qin remembers that Dingyuan Prefecture near Tianzhu is also a water division of the imperial court, there are water divisions, and there are soldiers, and it is only a water away from Tianzhu, why did Tianzhu dare to disobey the Great Song Dynasty. After all, the other Zhang Qin doesn't know, but the Tianzhu Domain has only two armies until now, the Japanese army and the Weiyuan army, which is still the name that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty personally gave him the title of Qin.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qin suddenly felt that his momentum had risen, and he was proud of his strength as the Great Song Dynasty, and he was also proud of his identity as an angel of the Great Song Dynasty.
Thinking that this must be a countermeasure against Tianzhu that had already existed when the Great Song Dynasty divided the feudal kingdom, Zhang Qin was suddenly full of confidence.
"Humph! Then let the Myanmar provincial side cooperate with us first and mobilize! This official will go to Burma. ”
