The Great Song Dynasty fluctuated because of the peace talks, and the Mongol Mission, which was one of the core of the fluctuations, tried to make these fluctuations more favorable to Mongolia. Just when Li Tingzhi was working hard for the Empress Dowager, the Mongolian mission was also in session.

"But I don't know why Song Guo wanted us to stay in Lin'an. In the past, the Song Peace Conference was signed in other places. The members of the mission asked such a question.

Dou Mo, the leader of the mission, thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case. The more famous peace negotiations in the Song Kingdom include the 'Shaoxing Peace Conference', the Longxing Peace Conference, and the Jiading Peace Conference. Including the previous armistice agreement between Mongolia and Zhao Jiaren, it was also in Songjiang Province and not in Lin'an. This time, Zhao Jiaren actually agreed to hold the peace conference in Lin'an, which is more intriguing no matter how you look at it. So the old man asked, "What do you think Zhao Jiaren thinks?" ”

The members of the mission did not dare to talk nonsense. They are not roundworms in Zhao Jiaren's stomach, so it is naturally impossible to know what Zhao Jiaren thinks. If everyone is just chatting, they can also talk about their thoughts along the way. Now that the old man Dou Mo seems to want to formulate a targeted strategy, everyone is even more afraid to speak. Mongolia had many enemies, and only the Song family could persist in hostility and war for 50 years, and the others had long been wiped out by the Mongols. In the Song Kingdom, the biggest wound to Mongolia was Zhao Jiaren.

No matter how Jia Yidao boasted about it, after the Battle of Ezhou, the Mongols thought that it was the Song naval army that decided the victory. Since then, they have known Zhao Jiaren's name. In the past ten years, more than 50,000 Mongolians have died at the hands of Zhao Jiaren. Moreover, two days ago, Zhao Jiaren even asked the Mongolian delegation to meet with the Mongolian Wanhu Gorten and Jiang Qingzhi who were brought back to Lin'an. The old man reunited, and the old man Dou Mo was also quite emotional, he said that he would definitely work hard to rescue the two ten thousand households.

Seeing that the guys in the mission didn't dare to speak, Dou Mo said: "If it doesn't work, let's visit the nobles of the Song Kingdom everywhere to see if they are willing to promote peace." ”

"But Zhao Jiaren didn't let us leave the embassy." The member of the mission replied. Although the gang held peace talks in Lin'an, they did not have freedom of movement. The Song army surrounded the embassy, unless these people turned into flies and flew out. After seeing the fly traps hanging in the Song Kingdom, the Mongolian mission personnel felt that the life of the flies in the Great Song Dynasty was not easy.

"Then we will find a way to meet the Queen Mother of the Song Kingdom. Zhao Jiaren probably didn't dare to intercept this news. Dou Mo said. The members of the mission didn't really think the old man's orders were valid. But you can't get out anymore, so there's no reason not to give it a try. It's always a serious thing to do.

"Also, if the negotiation is successful. We have permanent missions in each other's countries. We still know too little about the Song Kingdom. Dou Mo added another piece of content.

Just after the old man arranged the content, Song Gongming, who was in charge of negotiations in the Ministry of Song Guoli, came to the Mongolian mission. The two sides sat down and began to negotiate the whole thing. He talked about the problems that have now been solved and easy to solve, such as the trade and trade between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia. is very pragmatic about this kind of content that can't be stopped. In addition, Mongolia also agreed to enter into a 'friendly' relationship with the Great Song Dynasty. Mongolia knew that Zhao Jiaren would not back down no matter what.

In addition to that, both sides are very late in the hard part. Mongolia demanded the resumption of pre-war demarcation in Henan, and the Great Song Dynasty demanded that Mongolia withdraw from Xiangyang and resume the demarcation of Sichuan in the era of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty. Just as the Song State could not agree to the demarcation of Henan, Mongolia would not agree to spit it out.

Just when Dou Mo thought that nothing could be done, Song Gongming put forward a new proposal that had not been touched before. "I don't think it's as good as this, now that the two sides don't have land to reach an agreement, we will temporarily cease fighting. This peace agreement will be renegotiated every three years, and if you are not satisfied, will we start fighting on both sides in three years? ”

Dou Mo's first reaction was, 'Song Gongming is joking'! Or is it a big, big joke, where when you sign a peace agreement, you make it clear that you don't accept it, and start a war three years later? But Dou Mo thought for a while with a straight face, and found that this approach was very reasonable. Precisely because the peace agreement was signed only three years ago, this brief peace is impressive. If we talk about the establishment of peace for all eternity, peace feels very, very thin, or that it is too long to make peace meaningless.

At this time, Dou Mo couldn't help but be a little moved, and the others also knew that it was only a matter of time before the Great Khan Kublai Khan and the Song State went to war. So peace can also prepare for war. But this decision was too important, and Dou Mo was not too sure, so he sent people to quickly rush back to Dadu to ask for the advice of the Great Khan Kublai Khan.

The day after the departure of the Mongol envoys, an official letter from the Empress Dowager Yang of the Great Song Dynasty to Zhao Jiaren was delivered to Zhao Jiaren in Songjiang Mansion. Empress Dowager Yang was hesitant to hand over the power to guard the imperial city, and at that time, even though Empress Dowager Yang knew that her 300 were not absolutely loyal to the Imperial Forest Army at all, she still refused to give up.

Or it is precisely because he knows that he is powerless to control it, so he does not want to give up control of the imperial city. By now, Empress Dowager Yang found that Zhao Jiaren had a more effective card in his hand. If the Mongols released the captured official family and the empress dowager, Zhao Jiaren could depose the son of the current Empress Dowager Yang and let the previous official family continue to enter politics. Thinking of this possibility, Empress Dowager Yang will feel like she is on fire.

Previously, Zhao Jiaren had abolished the status of the previous official family in the name of the imperial court, and the Queen Mother, as the mother of the official family, naturally did not have the so-called status of the Queen Mother. The basic concept of the modern nation-state has long been a part of Zhao Jiaren, and for traitors, no matter what their status, they are all available to everyone in the world. Even in the 21st century, many people still believe that it is better for traitors to have only one death sentence. Even if the situation has developed so far, Zhao Jiaren has no intention of using these capitulators for his own benefit.

However, Empress Dowager Yang decided to approach the dynasty in such a panic, and Zhao Jiaren did not object. He immediately replied, asking the troops guarding Lin'an to take over the imperial city, and let Empress Dowager Yang come to the court after Zhao Jiaren returned to Lin'an. In addition to the letter to Empress Dowager Yang, Zhao Jiaren also gave orders to the troops to prepare to tear down and rebuild a large number of buildings in the imperial city.

There is an interesting problem in all dynasties, that is, the fertility of the royal family is getting lower and lower. As a doctor, Zhao Jiaren and other fellow doctors have also talked about this issue. This is not just China, the whole world seems to have this problem.

Later, everyone looked at the pictures and made inferences. There are many opinions about the situation in Europe. With regard to China's situation, foreign friends have put forward a very bold idea. Many of the things used in the construction and maintenance of Chinese palaces and insect control do not seem to be quite right.

Zhao Jiaren felt that this was very reasonable at the time, and no one knew how much cinnabar was in the wall paint of the Great Red Palace back then. And China likes to use realgar and the like to get rid of insects, what is realgar, is the common name for tetraarsenic tetrasulfide (As4S4). Moreover, in the Great Song Dynasty, lead compounds are also a very common pharmaceutical item. It's arsenic and lead, and it sounds scary.

However, there is no way to use this kind of fierce medicine. After living in the United States for a long time, Zhao Jiaren is also able to reflect on ancient Chinese architecture. The United States has a lot of wood and is very cheap, so the reinforced concrete buildings are for the rich to live in, and the poor people live in 'natural pollution-free' wooden houses, which are insulated by gypsum board. As a result, there are a lot of cockroaches and termites.

The same is true of the Great Song Dynasty, cockroach termites are not only found in the United States, but also in the Great Song Dynasty, and buildings that use a lot of wood will also encounter problems. In order to kill insects, it is natural to use fierce medicines.

For the sake of his own health, Zhao Jiaren ordered the troops to build a two-story new imperial city office building based on the experience of building Mawei New Town, using bamboo reinforcement and cement as a framework. The floors are prefabricated with wire concrete. Thanks to the function of the blast furnace, wrought iron can finally be produced in large quantities and drawn into iron wire.

After Empress Dowager Yang received Zhao Jiaren's letter, she was a little skeptical. She didn't expect that Taiwei Zhao would drag things back and ask her to hand over the control of the imperial city first. But the matter has come to this, and the Empress Dowager Yang didn't want to go back on her word, so she handed over the imperial city guards as agreed.

At this time, there was a lot of south wind on the sea, and as soon as the exchange between Empress Dowager Yang and Taiwei Zhao ended, the envoys of the Song State and the members of the Mongolian mission took a boat and rushed to Dadu smoothly.

Kublai Khan couldn't help but laugh when he read the draft peace agreement that was sent to him. This is an enhanced version of the previous 'armistice'. The difference is that the armistice agreement is a secret private agreement, and this peace agreement will be announced to the world in the future. Facing Song Gongming, the envoy of the Song State, Kublai Khan asked: "Since Qing signed an armistice agreement with my Mongolia, do you think this thing can last for three months?" ”

Song Gongming had already been prepared, and he immediately asked, "Great Khan." Since the last armistice agreement was signed, can the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia fight again in Henan and Shandong? ”

Hearing this, Kublai Khan fell silent. The offensive and defensive situation between the Great Song and the Mongols had changed, and the Mongols were now reluctant to shed too much blood. Most of the people used to fight the Song State were the northern Han army, and by now the Han army has suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and they are all complaining. If it weren't for this reason, Kublai Khan would not have wanted to reform the government and soldiers.

Now that the offensive and defensive situation has changed, Mongolia is concerned about the safety of Yandi and Shandong. The endless bloody battles with the Song army in these two places were also unbearable for Kublai Khan. The tranquility of these two places is indeed very attractive now.

Song Gongming continued: "Great Khan, there may still be war in the south. But we can guarantee that there will be no here. Is it worth it? ”
