Chapter 1029 [Initialing]

When I heard that the Great Song Dynasty was going to sell weapons, the envoys from all over the world felt a bang in their heads, and their blood pressure immediately soared a lot.

The weapons of the Great Song Dynasty are good!

Swords, guns, swords, halberds, armor and shields, as well as the foot combat weapon god arm bow, siege and killing weapon eight bull crossbow, it is said that now the Great Song Dynasty also has a weapon called the thunder god is even more powerful, it can actually break through the city wall like thunder, and the flesh and blood of mortals can not resist, as long as it touches it, it is a five thunder bombardment, and there is no corpse.

It's just that the latter sentence is a bit confusing about what kind of "national treaty" is signed, and what the hell is this "Convention for the Protection of Prisoners of War and Civilians"?

Since Huang Jie dared to call them over, he was naturally prepared, so he also took out the noon version of the convention document to study with the envoys of various countries, although these foreign envoys may not all be Da Song Tong, but they also figured out the meaning of this "convention" in the bumpy mutual help, although they don't understand what the use of Da Song to do this thing, but it still looks very powerful.

However, for those small countries that come to pay tribute just to deceive food and drink, this kind of so-called prisoner of war convention, which seems to be lofty and a little too civilized, is not impossible to sign. After all, one is that their country is too small, and there is no need for international politics, international relations, and international public opinion, and the other is that they are equivalent to being coerced by the Song court when they come here.

Anyway, the Song court has already used the tributary right to coerce them to go to Liaodong, if they don't know the current affairs and don't give face, maybe the Song court may not use the tributary power to force everyone to sign a contract. In this way, it is better to talk about the benefits of signing this prisoner of war convention.

However, for the envoys of Northern Liao, Western Xia, and Tibet, they all saw the so-called cattleness of the civilian part of the convention.

It has always been said that the Northern Liao, although the Northern Liao is the remnant of the Liao State, it was born from the Liao State after all, so it has inherited the Liao State in terms of politics, economy and customs, so the folk activities of "playing grass valley" are naturally completely inherited.

The so-called "grass valley" means that the army goes out to fight, "the men and horses do not give grain and grass, and the day sends the grass valley to ride out to plunder for it" ("Liao Shi Bingwei Zhi I"). And this kind of way of relying on the soldiers to raise their own supplies without special logistical support, and plundering the people's grain, grass and property, is called "grass valley" by the Liao people.

It's just that now because the Great Song Dynasty secretly supported the just war between the Northern Liao and the Jin State, he was regarded as a close partner by the Northern Liao Tianzhen Emperor (Emperor Tianzhen ate people and had a short mouth, of course, he would not mention the Song and Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao, and the Great Song Dynasty did not also suffer), so naturally the Great Song Dynasty could no longer be regarded as the object of fighting the Grass Valley (he couldn't come if he wanted to), and he could only fight the Grass Valley of the Jin Kingdom.

When Li Yuanhao called the emperor of Western Xia, he took the Yellow River as the demarcation, and divided the army into two chamber armies on the left and right in the Western Xia, and set up twelve supervising military divisions, which were ordered to be stationed in the name of the army (the Song Dynasty also had a similar box army setting, just like today's "military region").

As a result, Li Yuanhao improved the command system of the Western Xia army, and secondly, he also ingeniously developed and fixed several new troops: Iron Harrier, Capture Army, Garrison Army, Poxi Army and Collision Linglang.

Iron Harrier, also known as "Iron Forest", is the most elite cavalry unit in Western Xia, this kind of unit is equipped with the best war horses, the most sophisticated armor, the total number of 3,000 people, divided into ten teams; The Capture Army, is the Western Xia in order to capture the other side of the people in the war specially set up troops, by the Great Song Dynasty called the "Capture Army", this kind of force for the Western Xia "pioneer", the initial number of people is very large, about 100,000 people, the successive dynasties continue to decrease, and now there are many specific people and horses is unknown; The garrison was the Western Xia Janissaries, with a total of 50,000 people, all of whom were served by the sons of Western Xia nobles; The Poxi army was an "artilleryman", mainly used stone throwers to assist in the attack during the siege, and the number was the smallest at the beginning, only 200 people, and it was continuously supplemented in successive dynasties, and now it is said that it has exceeded the scale of 10,000 people.

In addition, in the military system of Li Yuanhao, who was the most scheming and lacking in morality, he deliberately selected the captured Han people to form the "Bang Linglang" army, using these "war slaves" as the vanguard troops, and letting them rush in front of the main army of their own clan as cannon fodder, so as to minimize the casualties of the soldiers of the Western Xia Party.

All in all, the Xixia people used the way to capture the army and the Liao State to fight the grass valley, which was used to loot materials or manpower and material resources, that is, now in the northwest, the planters did not dare to take it lightly, and they had to consolidate the border defense at all times to prevent the Xixia army from quietly crossing the border to do things in the Great Song Dynasty.

As for Tibet, there is no need to go into detail, there are many robbers in the territory, not only robbing money but also food and people, and even men and women are handsome and ugly.

Therefore, although Hui and Khotan did not border the Great Song Dynasty, they bordered Western Xia and Tubo, and of course they also had to take some countermeasures, right?

Therefore, after the envoys of these countries saw the text of the convention, the first thing that came to mind was that the Great Song Dynasty was going to dig a pit to bury itself! Isn't it funny that you said that you want them to sign a pledge and promise never to fight grass and catch life again?

As a result, among the envoys from the thirty-seven countries who came, more than 20 of them felt that they had come to pay tribute fraud (fraudulent tribute) and immediately promised to sign the contract, and a few said that they would be willing to sign the contract only if they wanted to see what benefits the Great Song Dynasty gave, and only the envoys from the Northern Liao, Tubo, Western Xia, and Hui Hui countries said that the signing was a big matter and that they needed to return to the country to decide Yunyun, and they clearly did not want to give Huang Jie face.

In this regard, Huang Jie did not care, and first proposed that there is no need for countries to formally sign this sub-convention, and a draft memorandum can be signed first, saying that he knows that such a "convention" will be completed, and whether to formally join it can be discussed slowly.

Then he also generously gave three days for everyone to study and discuss, and these three days will not be wasted, will be used to hold a "Song Dynasty cutting-edge (black technology) military equipment exhibition", knowing that the envoys of such countries did not dare to say anything, they could only agree.

Huang Jie also specially repaired a book, and sent Yue Fei to personally visit Jinyingtou and Zongwang, inviting him to participate in the exhibition, and also inviting him to participate in the signing ceremony of the initialling memorandum of the "convention" to be held by the countries of the "world".

It's just that after Yue Fei took the book away, Yang Keshi, Zhao Shuo and others all thought that even if Zong Wang accepted the submission, he might not dare to come, only Huang Jie smiled, took out a small golden knife with a new scabbard, and gently rubbed it, while chuckling: "He must come back!" If someone dares to be the east, who dares to play a game with a certain Bo? ”

In the end, in order to save face for Huang Jie, everyone also made bets on the handicap opened by Huang Jie: Zong Wang dared to pay ten for one, and received a total of fifty bets; Zong Wang didn't dare to come to lose 100, and received a bet of 4,858 yuan.
