Chen Yuan offered the Uighurs and Tibetans the condition that they send troops to help the Song Dynasty deal with the Liao, and the Uighurs and Tibetans also wanted to get a piece of the Liao battle, and they had already told Renzong that they would be willing to send troops to help if necessary.

However, in terms of the form of sending troops, the Tibetans and Uighurs had differences with the Great Song Dynasty.

According to their meaning, it is also a common concept that the place where their army is defeated should be theirs, and even if it is handed over to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty must pay a certain price to compensate them.

Of course, Chen Yuan didn't want to pay this price, the Liao State was a frog that had already been cooked, and it was a matter of how much heat to use to cook it, and if the Tubo and Uighurs were allowed to intervene, the Great Song might have to pay more than he expected.

Chen Yuan's meaning was to let Tubo, Uighur, Dali, Jiaozhi, and Champong, all of these vassal states of the Great Song Dynasty send troops, so that the Liao people knew that it was not only the Great Song Dynasty that came to fight them this time, but "united [***]", so that the Liao people knew that all the surrounding countries had come to fight them.

He didn't plan to let these people really intervene in the war, just pull a shelf to scare Yelu Hongji, his former little brother.

After the arrival of the troops of these vassal states, the Song army would take care of their food and lodging, and also charter a return ticket, and there was no rest.

This is very fair in Chen Yuan's opinion, I will help you solve the silver crisis, and you will send some people over to help me set up. There shouldn't be too many people, just be able to carry the battle flag. Dali, Jiaozhi, and Champa agreed very happily.

Dali sent 500 troops, Jiaozhi sent 1,000 troops, and Zhancheng also sent 1,000 troops. These vassal states were far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and they were not interested in the war of the Liao State, and sending troops was just a personal match, as Chen Yuan said.

That's enough, Chen Yuan only needs them to hold a personal field. But the Tibetans and Uighurs clearly did not want to be a single man, they wanted to intervene in the war and benefit directly from it. When Chen Yuan rejected them, the Tubo people offered to send troops, but they asked the Song Dynasty to hire their soldiers according to the number of people, and they would send as many people as they wanted.

The Uighurs were stronger than the Tibetans, and they said that it was okay not to give money, and they would send people to help them, just like Dali, and send 500 people over.

Five hundred men was enough for Dali, but if a country as large as the Uighurs sent only 500 men, it would be the same as not coming.

Disagreement, negotiation.

Negotiation is not troublesome, the trouble is that Renzong does not let Chen Yuan use those means that can force the other party to submit.

There is nothing wrong with the saying that Jiangshan is easy to change his surname and difficult to change, Renzong has changed a lot, he has self-confidence, and he has opinions, but he is still such a gentleman, and he is unwilling to tell the truth.

Renzong then looked at Chen Yuan, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Shimei, the princess of the Xilan Kingdom is a woman after all, and it is inconvenient for her to live in the pavilion with those envoys, you go and arrange it and find a good place for her to live." ”

Hearing Renzong say this, Chen Yuan knew that the emperor was pleasing to the princess of the Xilan Kingdom. It is not inconvenient for the princess to let her continue to live in the pavilion, but it is inconvenient for Renzong. If he enters and leaves the post station in his capacity, the envoys of those other countries will definitely come to pay respects, and even if he doesn't come, it will not be good for the reputation of the Great Song Emperor.

Chen Yuan cast a knowing look at Renzong: "Long live rest assured, Weichen will arrange it properly." ”

Renzong nodded: "Okay, you can do it." ”

The old man wants to pick up a girl, and let Chen Yuan arrange a suitable location, this is a big deal, and it must not be delayed.

After Chen Yuan left the palace, he went to find a house first, it didn't have to be too good, after all, this princess couldn't live for much time. If she is happy to serve Renzong, she will soon be able to enter the palace as a concubine, and if she dislikes Renzong and is older, she will also go back to Xilan.

The house is good, and I am going to the post station to find the princess of the country of Nashilan.

When I came to the pavilion this time, the expressions on the faces of the officials in the pavilion were different. In the years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, their place has never been as lively as it has been for a while.

A few days ago, when I talked about the issue of abolishing redundant officials, there were ministers who proposed that the officials of the pavilion should be the first to be dismissed, and there were more than a dozen idlers in a huge airinn, and they would have nothing to do except send letters all day long. This once made them a little nervous about whether they could keep their jobs.

But now there is no need to worry, the envoys from dozens of countries, a total of more than 300 people, in a big way, they have to consider each other's customs and habits. On a small scale, these hundreds of people rely on these dozen people to eat, drink, eat, live, and travel, which yamen is busier than themselves?

The Yicheng of the pavilion held a handful of forage, and immediately put down the forage after seeing Chen Yuan: "Master Horse, are you here?" Which country's messenger are you looking for? The lower official will arrange it for you. ”

Chen Yuan looked at his somewhat bloated body, and there were still some scraps of grass on top of his official uniform.

"Why, do you have to do the work of feeding the horses yourself?"

The post boy wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Isn't it too busy, the other days were better, the Tubo and Uighur people did not come, and the other people who came by boat did not have horses to take care of, and they saw that we were dressed in official uniforms, and they were embarrassed to call us, and this Tubo people were different when they came." The emperor said, these are our uncles, we have to serve well, this person has to serve, and the horse has to wait, I am really tired and panicked. ”

Chen Yuan looked at his complaining look and said, "Why don't you change to a more leisurely errand?" ”

Na Yicheng was greatly alarmed: "Don't, it's better to be busy, busy, it means that we are not redundant officials." Master Pony, who are you looking for, tell me that no matter how busy you are, you have to be busy first, aren't you? ”

Chen Yuan smiled, Yi Cheng's attitude has already shown that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are no longer proud of redundancy, at least in the hearts of these grassroots officials, "redundancy" means that their jobs may be lost. When this atmosphere pervades the whole country, redundant officials will become a kind of official among officials who are looked down upon by others.

"Where is the envoy of the kingdom of Shilan?" Chen Yuan's eyes looked around.

When Chen Yuan saw the princess of the Xilan Kingdom, he finally understood why Renzong fell in love with this woman at a glance. She doesn't have the fair skin of a woman in the Song Dynasty, but her pale bronze color reveals a strange sense of surname.

The round arms are half cut out, the waist is completely exposed, and there is an iron ring hanging on the navel, showing the softness of her waist. That figure, four words, devil figure. The whole face is full of exotic style, and there is also a small iron ring on the nose, which is seductive as a real surname.

Judging from the national decoration, this fine orchid should be the predecessor of Sri Lanka. After Chen Yuan entered the door, he saluted very politely, and the princess also returned the salute. Their etiquette is very special, when the woman salutes, her waist is almost half squatted, which makes Chen Yuan inadvertently see the two beating plumps from her neckline, and he can't help but praise in his heart, his father-in-law really has a good eye.

And Chen Yuan knows better that in the future, Su Xiaoyou will no longer have to worry about the loneliness of his harem and no opponent. If such an exotic woman is admitted to the palace by Renzong, she will definitely be a strong enemy for Su Xiaoyou's favor.

They are both young, and compared to Su Xiaoyou, she may lack some means, but the advantage of her identity is something that Su Xiaoyou can never match. No matter how small the country is, people are also princesses.

Things started very smoothly, and the princess agreed to move to a place specially prepared for her by Chen Yuan to live. As for whether Renzong can get started in the future, it depends on the attitude of this princess and how Renzong's pickling methods are.

Chen Yuan can only help Renzong create opportunities to pick up girls, and it is absolutely impossible to use the knife himself.

The next day, Wen Yanbo received an order from Renzong to bring all the envoys to visit the military camp of the Great Song Dynasty.

The soldiers in the barracks also received instructions to prepare the things that should be prepared early, and those new weapons were brought out and displayed over and over again for the guests from afar.

Zeng Gongliang has now moved to the small island in Dongying, and their hands and feet have been used more smoothly than when they were in Bianjing. Some experiments that I didn't dare to do in Bianjing, where can I do them with confidence. There is no need to fear that an accident will affect the people in the vicinity, and there is no need to worry that others will snoop on the secrets.

Their research is closely related to the war of the Song Dynasty, and after each battle, the soldiers would make a summary of the use of weapons during the war, and then let Zeng Gongliang improve it. After the end of this Dongying battle, the Song army's flamethrowers and rifles have basically taken shape.

Especially the rifle, after Ding Du inadvertently hit an iron block, Zeng Gongliang and they immediately developed the kind of gun similar to arquebus that uses a steel pipe as a barrel and fires it in the back hall.

However, the reaction on the battlefield was not very good, and after dozens of arquebuses put into the battlefield for experiments were used by soldiers, it was generally said that although this thing had a slightly longer range and greater power, it could not be compared with crossbow arrows in terms of speed and accuracy. When it gets wet, it's a waste product, and there are no crossbow arrows at all.

Also, sometimes the battle situation is tense, and you can't know if the iron sand in the chamber of the gun has been shot out. When I heard a sound, a puff of gunpowder smoke came out from behind the butt of the gun, but in fact, the iron sand didn't hit out at all, and then when you got on the second iron sand, it couldn't get out.

In short, there were many problems with this gun, and the soldiers preferred to use their original bows and crossbows.

Chen Yuan also knew that when technology had not reached that point, it was impossible for muskets to replace crossbow arrows, but he was still very stubborn to form a musket team, with a total of 500 soldiers.

There was basically no one optimistic about the establishment of this team, and the first time they showed their might was in front of these distant guests.

Five hundred soldiers lined up in five rows, and the commander gave the order to light the arquebus together, but a moment of effort was a loud noise that was not neat. Traces of iron sand inlays appeared on the earthen wall dozens of paces away in front of those soldiers.

Regardless of whether the war is good or not, at least the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the sensory effect is very good, and it is still loud, and it is lively to listen to.

This was the first record of Chen Yuan's first musket team, and those timid envoys were taken aback, and then stretched out their thumbs and praised: "Amazing!" ”

That's all.
