Renzong arranged it and personally went to the exotic princess of the Xilan Kingdom to discuss whether he could give the Xilan Kingdom a certain degree of protection. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This errand made Chen Yuan yearn for it, but what he had to face was a black Ah San. Ramanau Jam has a standard Asan look, with a round face, a thick waist, and a fat buttocks.

When he sat in front of Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan felt like he was facing a bucket.

The Chola Kingdom is now in its heyday, and if you want to make a ranking of the world powers in this period, the Song Dynasty can now be ranked first, and how can the Chola Kingdom send a sixth or seventh place.

The ranking is not in the order of strokes, but according to the strength of the country. The Chola Kingdom now has more than 400,000 soldiers, 3,000 war elephants, and more than 2,000 warships, which is enough for the Asan to stand up their round bellies.

Chen Yuan went home yesterday and asked Huyan Ruizhu, who didn't know much about the situation in Xilan and Zhuluo, but he still knew a little about it.

The Chola Kingdom is also a big country, and the goal they set is to develop southward, and the Xilan Kingdom is just in the way of their southward development. From a formal point of view, it was a matter of time before Zhu Luoguo took action against Xilan.

Therefore, Renzong is completely correct to let Sima Guang terminate the mediation, in a sense, it is not as simple as asking Ah San to give a face. The State of Xilan blocked the development of the State of Zhuluo, and if the Great Song Dynasty accepted the State of Xilan as the younger brother, then it was the Great Song Dynasty that blocked the development of the Kingdom of Zhula.

In addition, Chen Yuan's caravan and Ah San's business also made a lot of money, and last year, Chen Yuan sold porcelain from the Chola Kingdom, and the pepper, star anise, lemon leaves, neem, fennel beans, and those beautifully made ivory and silver products from them brought Chen Yuan huge profits.

He didn't want to offend Ah San because of a fine Lan country now.

Ramanaum was also very happy about Chen Yuan's arrival: "Lord Pony, I am about to visit you, I think there are more areas of cooperation between us." ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "I think so too, our trade has been very good in recent years, but these exchanges are still only in the people, I hope that this time the adults come to the Great Song Dynasty, so that our relationship can be further improved." ”

Ramanaum twisted his fat waist: "Our Majesty the King also means this, in fact, our two countries have roads that can be connected, and your vassal states of Dali, Tibet, and Uighur all have places directly bordering us, if we can be true friends, I believe it will be very beneficial for both you and me." ”

Chen Yuan said: "We Song people have always liked to make friends, and we have always been sincere to our friends. ”

A smile appeared on Ramanamu's face: "I have known this for a long time, and the people of our Chola country are also very bold. In order to show our sincerity, His Majesty the King told me when he sent me that he knew that the Great Song Dynasty was now facing a war with the Liao State, and if necessary, we could send 5,000 soldiers and 200 war elephants to help the Song Dynasty. ”

These Ah San obviously came prepared, and they must have analyzed the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty when they came. And their territory borders on Tibet, the Uighurs, and Dali, and it is not difficult to find out the situation in the Song Dynasty.

When Chen Yuan heard him say this, he was a little happy in his heart, the more [***] the better, whether he could fight second, Chen Yuan didn't expect these people to work hard for the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State. Even if people are here to add icing on the cake, at least this is the essence of the Song Dynasty.

"That's really grateful, I will tell our emperor about this, I believe that our emperor is also very willing to establish a long-term friendship with your country, but there is one thing I want to explain to your lord in advance."

Ramanaum nodded: "Lord Pony, please speak clearly." ”

Chen Yuan looked at him: "You know, this time the Xilan Kingdom came because they were sandwiched between you and the Three Buddhas, and they had a very difficult time, and they hoped that our emperor could solve this problem for them." ”

Chen Yuan said that he paused here for a moment to observe the reaction on Ramanamu's face, after all, this is a matter that stands in the way of people's money, and he is even ready to get angry with Ramanujam and himself.

What he didn't expect was that Ramanaum actually nodded when he heard this: "I know that if the emperor of your country wants to mediate the conflict between us and Sriwijaya, we are willing to accept your country's status as a mediator." ”

Ah San is so good-looking? Sending troops to help the Song Dynasty fight for free, and unconditionally accepting the mediation of the Song Dynasty, Chen Yuan couldn't believe it! Is this still Ah San? The few Ah San I saw in my previous life were not like this.

He looked at Naramananujam carefully, and for a moment he forgot to speak.

Ramananumjam's expression was so calm: "We are also a peace-loving country like the Great Song Dynasty, and here I can talk about the attitude of our King Majesty on the matter of Srivijaya." Shilan can exist as a reading country, and we can make a promise that we will never invade Shilan, but at the same time, Shilan cannot belong to any force, and Sriwijaya must immediately withdraw their garrisons in Shilan and withdraw all of them. ”

Chen Yuan can understand the decision of the three people, how can he allow others to sleep peacefully before lying on the couch? That's not a big requirement.

In this way, things are much simpler, let the Zhu Luo Kingdom make a promise first, then let the Three Buddhas withdraw their troops, and then nominally put the Xilan Kingdom under the protection of the Great Song Dynasty, and the problem will be solved, and the major affairs of the state and the heart of Renzong will be solved.

Chen Yuan nodded, now it's time to ask Ah San what they want. There will never be a free lunch in the world, and Ah San will definitely ask for something.

"Envoy, I would like to know, if we want to establish good relations with your country, what can we do to further understand each other?"

Ramanaum has been waiting for Chen Yuan's words. As soon as Chen Yuan's words were finished, he said with a friendly smile: "We hope to further cooperate with your country in shipbuilding, and at the same time, in the military industry, we also hope that the two sides can have an exchange." ”

Ah San was very direct, and Chen Yuan was embarrassed to beat around the bush, and immediately said: "There is no problem with the cooperation in shipbuilding, but in the military industry, we still have to think about it, please forgive me." ”

When Ramanaum came this time, their king only asked him to solve the shipbuilding matter, and the military industry was just an idea he had after watching the military exercises of the Song army. This is really, really important for the Chola country.

In fact, even if Chen Yuan didn't bring up the matter of the Three Buddhas and the Xilan Kingdom, Ah San himself would say it. The current Chola Kingdom is in its heyday, and in previous years their national policy has been to develop southward.

But just last year, the rising Seljuk Empire challenged the once-giant, the Arab Empire north of the Chola Kingdom. The battle went to everyone's astonishment, and the once-formidable Arab Empire was defeated again and again by the Turks.

Ah San keenly felt that a powerful crisis was coming. The danger was that the Seljuk Empire was so powerful that they had to shift all their strategic focus to the north. Opportunity, because the Arab Empire is coming to an end, this giant has a lot of flesh on his body, as long as he can cut off a few pieces, it is enough to make the national strength go to a higher level.

In addition, Bohemia in the West submitted to the Sarian dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire, which meant that Rome, which had been in Asia for many years, extended its hand again, and also caused a great pressure on Ah San. King Henry II of the Sarian dynasty had just been on the throne for ten years, and although he was now advocating peace, the Assans had already seen that the mighty Rome of the past seemed to be showing signs of returning, and his heart was terrified.

The decision to go north with all their might, annexing lands that the Arabs could no longer defend, and preparing to fight against the menacing Turks and the ambitious Henry II, was a decision made by the Asan only last year.

Compared to the threat from the west, the Sriwijaya and Shiran kingdoms in the east are really nothing. So they were very willing to sell the Song Dynasty a favor.

Chen Yuan didn't know any of this.

After Chen Yuan told Renzong what Ramanaum meant, Renzong was also full of good impression of the Asans, and immediately decided that the first thing was to agree to all the conditions of the Chuluo Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty could cooperate with the Chuluo Kingdom.

The next thing is to prepare for the New Year, many people in the Song Dynasty will have a very happy year this year, as a common people, abundant food and clothing can make them smile, and there is two surplus money to visit relatives and friends, that is the best.

The scholars and doctors of the Song Dynasty also felt that they had a special face this year, dozens of countries came to worship, and the dispute between the Three Buddhas and the Zhuluo Kingdom thousands of miles away allowed the Great Song Dynasty to settle in Bianjing, and Sima Guang let the soldiers of the two countries retreat in a few words, no matter what reason people sold the face of the Song Dynasty, just such a thing, the Great Song Dynasty had never had it before, and it seemed to be the Han and Tang dynasties in its heyday.

This shows that the Song Dynasty was already a real Celestial Empire power.

The establishment of friendly diplomatic relations between the Song Dynasty and the Chola Kingdom had another effect that Chen Yuan did not expect, that is, the attitude of the Uighurs and the Tibetans immediately changed.

The main reason why the Uighurs and Tibetans have survived until now is that, in addition to the Great Song Dynasty, they can also exchange some necessary materials with the people of the Liao and Zhu countries. Now that the Great Song Dynasty and the Chola Kingdom have been reconciled, trade will be able to start immediately.

While the Song Dynasty used silver to trade with the Chola Kingdom, it inevitably led to the merchants of the Chola Kingdom also using silver in foreign trade. If you still insist on asking for those two more money, you may really die.

So, after asking the Great Song for 10,000 taels of silver, the Uighurs agreed to send 20,000 troops. Then the Tibetans also made the same conditions, sending 15,000 troops.

Each set has been put on the hungry wolf of Liao, and Chen Yuan's joint [***] has also been preliminarily formed, and after the Spring Festival, the solution to the problem of Liaoguo will officially enter the implementation stage.
