Chapter 1009 [National Gift]
On the seventeenth day of the first month of the third year of the main road, Zongwang led the army again, but the reply he got was that Huang Jie was not happy with drinking last night, and now he has not gotten up.
Eighteen, hangover.
Nineteen, in a bad mood.
Twenty, occasionally feeling the wind cold.
Twenty-one, Hugh.
Twenty-two, make an appointment to talk with the Wushe.
“………………”
On the sixteenth day, although he knew that it was an excuse, because of the rules of engagement, Zong Wang could only return in a huff. And then every day, Huang Jie made up all kinds of excuses to hang up the free battle card, and even in order to show respect for him, the reasons he made up were not the same except for the three times a month.
As for Zongwang's side, two days ago, he came to Liaoyang City with a neatly dressed leader, and then he simply sent a small colonel to check it every morning, and Huang Jie simply wrote the reason on the plaque and hung it on the side of the war-free card, so the two sides saved a lot of trouble.
At the end of the month, almost 100,000 people were requisitioned from nearby Shenzhou, Guidezhou, Anzhou, Yinzhou and other places, and grain was sent from all over the country, and the situation of fighting to the death with the Song army was also made.
Of course, this is also something that can't be helped, after all, the elite troops of the Jin State are Zong Wang's 50,000 Southern Expeditionary Army plus Zong Bi's 20,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the rest of the troops are either the guards stationed in Huining Mansion, the capital of the Jin State, or the local city defense troops, and they really can't spare extra troops to do something else.
And Huang Jie is now like a sharp knife into Liaodong, not to mention, the seed master Dao also made the victory pass and Gubeikou into an iron wall, so Zong Wang didn't dare to move at all, because as long as he moved, maybe Huang Jie might "go straight to Huanglong", if he really went to fight Huanglong Mansion, he was not afraid, he was afraid that Huang Jie and his gang would hit Huining Mansion, and how should the Jin Kingdom deal with themselves at that time?
As for the negotiations, Zong Wang didn't find someone to talk to, and the conditions offered by Huang Jie were not high at the beginning, but they released Zhao Ji's father and son and were captured by the Zhao family, and later increased the military expenditure of 1 million per day, and then ceded the northwest, that is, north of Yanyun, that is, Inner Mongolia and Gansu in later generations...... Almost half of the Western Xia can be encircled (the heart is big enough), and the troops must be withdrawn from the Jiaodong Peninsula and from Goryeo, and then later they actually demanded that in addition to the above conditions, Yan Wu begging should be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and Huang Jie also privately told the messenger sent to communicate that he was very supportive of Zongwang to succeed King Dajin, as long as Wu Qimai was killed, everything was easy to discuss!
In short, the two sides are so consumed in Liaoyang, and spring is open in the blink of an eye.
However, there is a way that there are several flowers, but it is difficult to show all the branches, and before Zong Wang was able to see Huang Jie's shameless methods, on the fifteenth day of the first month of the third year of the main road, a major event also happened in Bianliang, Tokyo, the Great Song Dynasty.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also called the Shangyuan Festival, and later generations are called the Lantern Festival. According to the usual practice, the court is also going to the court on this day, but this year, because Zhao Ji and his son have gone to the northwest to drink the northwest wind, the fifteenth day of the first month, which was upgraded by Zhao Ji, has become a permanent dynasty under the promotion of Li Gang and others.
Speaking of the early years of Zhenghe, at that time the practice was that the first day of the first month of the first month is also the first day of the first day is the big court, and the fifteenth is the Chang Dynasty (ordinary court), but because the envoys of the Liao State came to congratulate the envoys who came to congratulate one step late and failed to catch up with the Zhengdan, so Zhao Ji also specially improved the specifications of the fifteenth court, and summoned the envoys of the Western Xia, Hui, Khotan and even Goryeo and other countries to watch the ceremony together, and later Zhao Ji felt that this was very face-saving, and from then on the fifteenth dynasty meeting was set as the great court.
It was also said that after the fifteenth court was changed back to the Chang Dynasty by Li Gang and others, the place of the meeting was also changed from the Daqing Hall to the Chongzheng Palace, but although the level was not high, the personnel were still complete, and all the officials of the three classes above the sixth grade of the Beijing officials were all there, not to mention, there were several teams of red-eyed and green-eyed Hu people outside the hall who were blowing their beards and staring and waiting for the audience.
The red eyebrows and green eyes mentioned here are really red eyebrows and green eyes, but in the waiting area outside the hall, there are at least thirty or fifty people waiting now, all of whom are the so-called "countries" who come to the envoys, including the Liao State (Northern Liao), Western Xia, Dali, Khotan, Hui and other old states familiar with the Great Song Dynasty, and there are also some people who really can't see what country they belong to just by looking at the color of their clothes, for example, there is a group of dark-skinned bearded Hu people in the crowd, although they are all dressed in the style of the Great Song Dynasty, but they are wrapped in black cloth, white cloth and green cloth. They all claim to be messengers of the Persian eclipse and are hostile to each other.
There are also a few Kunlun slave-like people, who only cover their bodies with animal skins in the winter, and their bodies are covered with animal teeth and all kinds of gold and silver utensils, claiming to be envoys from the countries north of Champa (Vietnam).
It was also said that early in the morning, the early dynasty followed the old routine to discuss matters, and naturally Bai Shizhong, Wang Hao, Li Gang and others dealt with, and after some trivial matters were dealt with, they also invited the Empress Dowager Zheng and Zhao Fujin to come out from behind the curtain, and they all sat on the dragon seat, and they also came to announce the envoys of various countries to meet them.
Due to the court meeting on the day of the New Year, the Song court had a lot of things to deal with (such as the disturbance of the envoys of the Jin State), so at that time, the link of the envoys of various countries to meet His Majesty to congratulate him was canceled.
But it is also said that the envoy came to see, and naturally the pro-sparse theory was backward, the first to go to the palace to congratulate was Dali, followed by Khotan, Hui Hui, and then the Northern Liao and what Persian food, the envoy of the city, and the Western Xia finally succumbed to the end.
The envoys of various countries came up, but they all said a few words of compliment, and then read out the list of tributes, and the gifts were nothing more than some so-called rare treasures, delicacies of the mountains and seas, but there was nothing surprising, the only thing that I saw on this day was a hundred stones of fine rice seeds presented by several messengers of the city, and the others were also worth mentioning, and Zhao Fujin also gave back the corresponding level of gifts to the envoys of various countries according to the list prepared by Zhou Bangyan in the morning, but it was not worth mentioning that everyone was smiling.
It's just that when the envoy of Western Xia came forward to make a pilgrimage, he made a big incident.
This Xixia envoy is also surnamed Li, named Li Bigeng, the party name is Tuoba Bizang, but a middle-aged man in his forties, after coming up, there is no expression of resentment, the rules and regulations are in accordance with the rules of worship and worship, and then when the gift list is read, I heard that this time the Xixia actually presented 300 war horses, 100 quintals of green salt, 10 pieces of Xixia precision casting cold forging armor, 10 sets of iron soldiers, 100 pieces of cotton and linen silk silk, etc., compared to the countries are also slightly richer, but after the official read out, but I heard Li Bigeng suddenly stepped forward and said:" Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, there is still a big gift in our country, but it is not on the gift list! ”
