Tai Tuyin Buhua snorted again: "There is no treasure in front of the Mongols that can be held forever, and there are also firearms in the north, and one day they will win over Jiangnan." ”
Wu Qian didn't answer, the redundant battle of words and tongues was unnecessary in his opinion, he would not be too detached from a deliberate sentence to really list the firearms, but another thing must be too detached from the cause to see.
When walking through the South Suzaku Lane, Tai Tu Yin Buhua and Yue Li Hu Ma saw a team of husbands and servants in the alley rushing back and forth, carrying large and small bags of straw bales on their shoulders, some straw bales broke the corners, and the white new rice was sprinkled out of the bags, and there were grains of rice on the road.
Wu Qian looked at Tai Deyin's surprised gaze, and hurriedly smiled: "Ouch, the grain in the warehouse has been stored for too long, and it always needs to be taken out and dried, otherwise it will rot in the depths of the warehouse, wouldn't it be a pity?" He shouted to the officers in front of the escort: "Tell the porters to be careful, and don't talk about spilling rice on the road, because the Mongol soldiers outside the city have not yet eaten rice!" ”
The officer of the escort team responded with a slight evil smile: "Order!" He turned to the servants and shouted, "Have you heard the words of the senators?" The Mongolian lords outside the city can't afford to eat, so we can't waste food! ”
The servants laughed, "Exactly! It's better to give a batch of moldy grain in our treasury to the old man, so that the old man will not starve to death outside the city! ”
He was honored as an envoy of a great power, and everywhere he went, he only had to be greeted with caution and lavish hospitality, and the city guards only dared to serve with all their hearts, and he had seen such ridicule there. He also understood that this was Zheng Yunming's strategy, deliberately letting him know that the Southern Dynasty soldiers were well fed and had a strong capital to negotiate peace with the Mongols. Now it is nothing more than a demonstration and a tentative gesture to each other, and it would be too hasty to do it now.
With a straight face, he followed Wu Qian all the way to the main gate of the envoy, and a hundred soldiers in iron armor stood in two rows on the street, waiting for the envoy majestically.
These world's first heavily armored warriors, Tai Tu Yin Buhua had never seen them up close, and only today when he saw the equipment of these ironclad warriors face to face, did he understand why the Badulu army that attacked the city in the past was the double-layered cowhide armor. Why does it melt like snow and ice in the sun? These sonorous Sinan warriors with sonorous iron armor were indeed wrapped in iron armor from head to toe, and it was difficult for them to come up with a way to kill such a heavily armed enemy, even if they were too detached and didn't spend themselves.
But he was not worried at all, the combat power of the Mongolian army was not limited to the Badulu army, as far as the southern expeditionary army was concerned, except for a big loss before the war, the cowardly Xue guards basically did not enter the battle. And I heard that Hehan had recruited 3,000 strong Amen in the West Sea to serve as candidates for the heavy infantry of Cowardice. These people are not only proficient in equestrianism, but they are also first-class foot fighters. For heavy infantry duels, the Mongols were extremely confident. There are always three things that they are most afraid of, the first is the Yangtze River and its nearby complex waterways, the second is the increasingly sophisticated city building skills of the Song people, and the third is the increasingly fierce firearms.
The first two are too detached to take advantage of the fact that the master of Tath can find a way to resolve it, but there is no solution to this day with firearms.
Xu Yuanjie stood at the door in a gauze hat and official uniform, dressed in formal clothes, and had been waiting for a long time, when he saw two Mongolian envoys coming, he stepped forward to give a salute, and said: "The envoy and the deputy commander have been waiting for more than two people, please come here." ”
He led the two of them from the main gate over the vestibule, to the main hall of the envoy of the system, Xiangyang City civil and military officials, large and small generals lined up in shifts, in the middle of the mahogany chair sitting on the top of the is the Great Song Jinghu envoy, and also know Xiangyang Mansion, Jinghu Yingtian envoy Zhao Kui.
Tai Tuyin didn't take a moment in his heart, stepped forward and arched his hand at Zhao Kui, and said loudly: "Where is Zheng Yunming?" Without Zheng Yunming, what is the point of peace talks? ”
His words were really rude, not only did he openly regard the Jinghu system envoy who was sitting in the seat as nothing, but also ridiculed Wan Wensheng, the commander of Jing'e and Hubei under the seat, who was higher than Zheng Yunming in terms of official ranks, and belonged to the real core leader of Jinghu in terms of position.
Wei Zugui, who was standing beside Zhao Kui, wrinkled his eyebrows and was about to pull out his waist knife. Zhao Kui hurriedly glanced at him, and shouted to the audience: "What about Zheng Yunming? Why haven't you seen him arrive yet? ”
Bai Yijie stood in the queue of civil officials, and he couldn't be silent anymore at this time, so he stood up and reported: "Commander Yang has already gone to invite, and he will be here in a short time." ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard a high voice outside the hall say, "Why do you want to talk about peace!" I have soldiers and generals, money and food in my city, and I don't need peace talks! As long as there is one Mongolian in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, he will not want me to negotiate peace! ”
Tai Tuyin frowned, Zheng Yunming's position was so tough, this negotiation was destined to be extremely difficult from the beginning. The moon is full of emotion, and it doesn't look like it's facing difficulties at all.
Yang Yusheng dragged this deputy capital of Jing and E into the main hall, Zheng Yunming stood under Zhao Kui with an angry face, and he didn't even sit on the stool he moved, but just stared at Tai Tu Yin Buhua and the numbness in the moon viciously.
Zhao Kui was very polite, and ordered the servants to lead people to sit in the guest seat, and asked: "The king of Quchu is willing to stop the army, which is a blessing for hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city. It's just that I want to show that the peace of His Highness is not unconditional, right? ”
Seeing that his mouth was gentle, Tai Tuyin immediately stood up, arched his hand, and said loudly: "The king of Qu out led 500,000 elite soldiers and besieged more than ten heavy, this small city is just a small pebble, and it is easy for the king to take it." ”
Yueli Huma sighed secretly in his heart, although this Mongol has been in front of the king of Tath for a long time, and has always been in charge of negotiating and passing the word, but he is still stupid and does not know what to do. When there is peace talks between the two sides, you must first stand on a safe stand. Then gradually force the opponent to make concessions and squeeze enough benefits. The style of peace talks naturally varies, and some people like to take the lead in attracting people, but it is important to know that this kind of preemptive voice must be on a solid standpoint. Now that Tai Deyin has forced himself to a dead end without opening his mouth, the Song people can take this opportunity to make a big fuss.
I saw Zheng Yunming sneering and shouted: "Since Naqu has such a large number of soldiers and generals, since he is allowed to attack Xiangyang, I and my hundred copper generals are waiting for him to come here!" ”
If you want to back down a few points, the Song people will definitely have to move forward, but if you turn your face like this, the two sides will only say a word to each other, and he will turn back, and he will definitely be beaten by Tasi.
Just when he was not embarrassed, Yueli suddenly opened his mouth and said: "There is a proverb in my hometown that says well, those who dare to draw their swords are good warriors, and those who only know that they draw swords in everything are stupid men. Sinan Sihan lost the city and the people, and there was not necessarily any benefit, so the loss of the three families was really the best choice. ”
Zheng Yunming still had a cold face, but he smiled secretly in his heart, this official from the Western Regions went around and around, and finally put the topic in a critical place. He asked unhurriedly, "What do you say?" ”
Yueli Hu Ma's eyes lit up slightly, and he said in an extremely sincere tone: "The Mongols have their own rules, those who fight will fight, and those who make peace can make peace, as long as Zheng Yehu is willing to take a sum of money out, King Qu can guarantee that the 500,000 army will be withdrawn overnight, and what Ye Hu has lost is only property, and he can always get it back from the people, and save the lives of the city and hundreds of thousands of people, isn't it a very suitable business?" ”
Although his opening is not very subtle, it is still simple and straightforward. Zheng Yunming and Zhao Kui glanced at each other, and Zhao Kui pretended to ask casually: "In this case, what kind of price do you want Xiangyang to pay to make the king out of the army?" ”
Tai Tuyin didn't take his hand into his arms, turned his head and glanced at the moon flicker, and the moon flicker nodded at him slowly, before taking out the scroll that had been hidden on his body for a long time.
A personal guard took the scroll and presented it to Zhao Kui on the seat, who beckoned Zheng Yunming to come forward and watch it together.
On the paper, the requirements and conditions of Mongolia were clearly listed in Uighur and Chinese. These conditions were apparently planned by the Han generals and civil officials in the Northland, and then written in the Uighur and Chinese scripts spoken by the Mongols. Although it was only a primitive tribe from the steppe, the Mongols were not inferior to the Han Chinese who had been intriguing in the Central Plains for many years.
There are three main conditions for peace.
The Song army withdrew from the various forts on the outskirts of Xiangyang, as the defenders of these forts might attack while the Mongols retreated.
Entering the north of the Han River and the east of Fancheng, the guards and horse armies were all in charge of Meng Heng's reinforcements, and they had to retreat thirty miles.
Xiangyang offered 200,000 horses of silk, 2,000 taels of gold and silver, and 100 boys and 100 boys and 100 boys and 100 men and women as the labor army of the Mongol army not to attack Xiangyang.
Zhao Kui stretched out his hand and handed over the price code offered by the Mongols to the hundreds of military officials under the hall to circulate one by one, and said with a sneer: "King Qu Chu regards Xiangyang as the central capital of the Jin Kingdom, right?" Ben Shuai clearly told the two of them, even if they treat me, they can't take out so much gold and silver! ”
Tasi's tone was so big, even if it was the alliance between Song and Liao Tanyuan, the annual coin given to the Liao State by the entire Great Song Dynasty was only 200,000 silk horses, and now a small city in Xiangyang has to hand over so many gold and silver silk silks, which is obviously a lion's big mouth.
