Chapter 509: Mission
After a night of thinking, Zhao Gou, who was super obsessed with imperial power, decided to negotiate peace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In the past, Mongolia joined forces with him to deal with Zhao Shuo, and at that time, the chance of victory was on his side. But now, the Mongolian naval army has been wiped out, and the port in Dongying has also been taken by Zhao Shuo, and now Zhao Shuo's army is going south, which is to find him for revenge.
Zhao Shuo went to war with the Mongols, and Zhao Gou's navy went to stir it up, and also got Mu Sichen back. Now that Zhao Shuo is coming to retaliate, Zhao Gou has nothing to say.
Moreover, Zhao Gou had already sent a fleet to harass Zhao Shuo along the coast, and the troops sent here also wanted to unite with the Mongolian naval army and completely exterminate Zhao Shuo's naval army.
But the result was too unexpected for him. After the Great Song Dynasty army arrived, Zhao Shuo's army still wiped out the Mongolian army.
According to Zhang Jun, he worked hard to save Mu Sichen. If you leave a little later, the Great Song Dynasty army may also have to catch up.
Zhang Jun said that Zhao Shuo had a kind of artillery with a much longer range than the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty, and the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty could not hit each other, so they were shot and sank.
A large part of the reason for the fall of the Mongol naval army was also because Zhao Shuo's naval army was equipped with this kind of artillery.
Zhang Jun is Zhao Gou's confidant, so Zhao Shuo still believes Zhang Jun's words.
Now that Zhao Shuo's navy has come to retaliate, Zhang Jun shirked and did not dare to go to sea, and others went in vain.
Rather than being annihilated by the beaten army and letting Zhao Shuo dominate at sea, it is better to make peace, and then wait for the opportunity to make a move against Zhao Shuo.
This is what Zhao Gou thinks.
In fact, the Great Song Dynasty Navy could have fought with Zhao Shuo, and even if it had attacked with all its might, Zhao Shuo's Navy would have to retreat in a roundabout way.
But the Mongolian naval army was wiped out in front of him, which greatly stimulated Zhang Jun and indirectly stimulated Zhao Gou.
He didn't dare to risk a battle anymore.
Zhao Gou had an idea, and the next day in the court, he put forward the policy of peace. This policy was proposed by Qin Hui, and at this time, Qin Hui naturally came forward to support it.
The emperor agreed, Prime Minister Qin Hui also agreed, and the other ministers understood at a glance, plus there were more surrender factions above the court, and this proposal was directly supported by almost everyone.
Although there were a few people who objected, their voices were quickly silenced.
The peace agreement has been decided, and Zhao Gou asks who can send the envoy to negotiate peace. This question was also raised by Qin Hui. So, he took the lead in the queue and recommended Zhao Ziyan to be an envoy.
For this recommendation, the Manchu ministers all chose to agree, because they knew that this was a matter that could kill them. As long as it is not them, they will agree.
As a result, the court disguised the situation of Zhao Ziyan against many people. Regarding the matter of envoying Chang'an, Zhao Ziyan was 10,000 unhappy.
Last time, on the order of Qin Hui to envoy to Chang'an, Zhao Ziyan single-mindedly wooed Zhao Shuo, and then supported his son Zhao Yan to be the emperor. But Zhao Shuo didn't even say anything. For this reason, he also secretly wrote a copy of the secret treaty between Song and Mongolia and left it at the post station.
After that, Zhao Shuo sent people to the sea, and then there was a sea battle, and Zhao Ziyan felt that if it weren't for the Songmeng Treaty he left behind, it was likely that this battle would not exist.
Zhao Shuo is now victorious, and he is not comfortable to negotiate at this time?
Zhao Shuo did not agree to help Zhao Hao, and Zhao Ziyan believed that Zhao Shuo wanted to unify the Great Song Dynasty by himself and then become emperor.
went to persuade Zhao Shuo to give up the fat to his mouth, but Zhao Ziyan thought he couldn't do it.
Since it can't be done, and there may be danger, who wants to go to such a thing?
Zhao Ziyan kowtowed to the ground and prevaricated in every possible way, but Zhao Gou had already made up his mind, and the ministers of civil and military affairs persuaded him one after another.
"Lord Zhao, this is a great opportunity for you to reimburse the imperial court, your envoy this time will definitely go down in history."
"Yes, such a good thing, if it were to be spread on my head, I would have set off immediately. But I don't have that blessing. ”
"Lord Zhao, the return of this negotiation is another great achievement."
……
Everyone gossiped, and Ben didn't give Zhao Ziyan a chance to speak.
In the face of these people, Zhao Ziyan was angry. When he speaks, he is righteous, but when he does things, he hides his head and shrinks his tail.
It's all good, if you let him go, maybe he will find some reason to shirk it.
"Ziyan, you are a relative of the emperor and the country, and when the country is in danger, you should stand up." At this time, Zhao Gou spoke. "You are fully responsible for this negotiation, as long as you don't insult my Great Song, you can agree."
Zhao Gou just made a decision. Zhao Ziyan was helpless, so he had to kowtow and thank him.
Before going to Chang'an, according to Zhao Gou's secret instructions, Zhao Ziyan wanted to go to sea, say hello to Zhao Shuo's army, and tell them that they would negotiate now and make a temporary truce.
It is quite dangerous to go to sea, after all, no one knows when the naval army sent by Zhao Shuo will appear and where it will attack.
If one is not careful, and Zhao Shuo's water army is blasted into slag, the final result can only be blamed for himself.
Zhao Ziyan was unhappy, but he was helpless, so he found a fishing boat on the beach, waving a white flag, and sailed into the vast sea with one person and one boat.
Zhao Ziyan just left, and on this day Zhao Gou began to remember the day. If half a month later, the coast is peaceful, it means that Zhao Ziyan has succeeded. But if half a month later, he is still being attacked continuously, it means that Zhao Ziyan has failed. At that time, he had to find someone to replace Zhao Ziyan as an envoy and continue to go to sea.
Time passed quickly, half a month passed quickly, and what Zhao didn't expect was that in the past half a month, the coastal area was not attacked at all.
"Could it be that Zhao Ziyan found Zhao Shuo's naval fleet on the first day?" Zhao Gou muttered to himself, even he couldn't believe it.
This is, Qin Hui hurriedly walked in with a letter of recital. "Your Majesty, the Taizhou Prefect's recital."
Seeing Qin Hui's anxious appearance, Zhao Gou hurriedly took the fold, opened it, and said with a smile. "This Zhao Ziyan really took shit luck, and he really found Zhao Shuo's army on the first day."
During the negotiations, Zhao Shuo's navy will not attack the coastal area of the Great Song Dynasty, but there is a condition, that is, the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be mobilized without authorization, otherwise it will be treated as a declaration of war.
For this, although Zhao Gou is unhappy, he can understand it. After all, the other party doesn't understand, and you mobilize the army, so what do you want to do? No one wants to put themselves in danger.
"With a careful heart, spend the belly of a gentleman." Zhao Gou handed the fold to Qin Hui. "During the negotiations, all the sailors are on standby, and no one is allowed to move without my orders."
Zhao Gou agreed to the performance, he thought that this was the meaning of the generals of Zhao Shuo's army, but in fact he was wrong, this was the meaning of Zhao Ziyan.
