Chapter 184: Rival Divergence (1)
"Is it so hard to do a serious business?"
Holding a wine glass and knocking on Erlang's leg on the fabric sofa, Yang calmly expressed his opinion in a very, very immodest posture. As a diplomat, he certainly knew that he was losing his identity by doing so. But he felt that this was the only way to express his feelings at this time.
The cadres sitting next to him were all cadres from the Eastern European Division, and everyone's crooked sitting posture could fully express their mood at this time. Whether it is the current Sinhalese, or the southern part of Tianzhu in the future, or the past Srivijaya, Siam, Champong, Luzon, and Cochin. Wherever the Great Song army went, it was in the air. The locals did not eat pot pulp to welcome the king, at least they bowed their heads and tied their necks, and were extremely afraid of the power of the Great Song Dynasty.
The Mongols themselves could blow it, they decided to come to a better Baghdad to build a new golden horde, and none of the people from the Great Song Dynasty believed such nonsense. Everyone has been to Baghdad, which is indeed good, but compared with Youzhou, it is still much worse.
"Alas! Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the official family has repeatedly said that they will emigrate to the north. It's just that the official family is unwilling to forcibly relocate, so the progress is slow. If he can immigrate early now, Baghdad is afraid that he will already be under the control of the domain. Someone replied indignantly.
Someone else simply said, "We've taken Cyprus, so let's just concentrate on running there." ”
Someone helped scold, and Yang Congrong's mood was relieved at this time. He sat back upright, and his glass fell down on the table. "We're running Cyprus now, but we're just worried about the Mongols coming over, so we can't bet too much. Everyone thinks the biggest problem at the moment is. ”
"Naturally, the Mongols refused to give in. If Da Song can hit here, hum. ”
Of course, Yang Congrong felt that the problem was the hostility of the Mongols, but the Great Song Dynasty was not capable of fighting at this time. Before coming to Europa this time, Yang calmly talked about domestic affairs with the people in the Ministry of Rites, and his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites thought that the officials did not want to spend too much energy on the outside, and he hoped to use the main force in the Great Song Dynasty.
"I think if Kublai Khan is gone, maybe many of the Mongols will cooperate with us." A young voice said.
This statement was so novel that everyone turned their heads to look at it. But it's the new clerk Zhao Qi. is sure that it is this child, and Yang Congrong does not attach great importance to it in his heart. If you dare to work so far overseas, you will either seek fame or wealth. Although Zhao Qi's surname is Zhao, he is not a relative of the Zhao family. He came from a very ordinary family, and his studies were only very ordinary, and he could probably maintain the level of Sun Shan. If it weren't for the fact that no one was willing to come, this transcript alone made Yang calmly choose to refuse.
Zhao Qi didn't know what others thought, he continued with some unconfidence: "At present, Hao Ren of the Yuan Kingdom and Boyan of Egypt are cooperating with us. If Kublai Khan dies, will they strengthen their cooperation with us, or will they attack us because of the new king's orders? I think they'll be more cooperative. Kublai Khan is in his seventies this year and will not live for a few years. This time Kublai Khan ordered the arrest of the people of the Holy See, probably on his whim. I don't think the next Mongol king would have done that. ”
Immediately, someone objected, "Not necessarily. The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, and the new Mongolian Great Khan came to power, no matter how they have to make achievements, it seems that they are no worse than the previous generation. Who do you think is their best target? ”
Zhao Qi was so opposed that he stopped talking. Kublai Khan's action was not very effective in plundering Italy, but it was very effective. The Holy See itself does not have many troops, but the Holy See itself represents the religious legal system of the barbarians in the west. So many self-proclaimed kings need the blessing and approval of the Holy See in order to have the highest legitimacy. Otherwise, they're just grass kings.
"I don't know how long it will take for this Kublai Khan to die." Yang calmly sighed.
As soon as these words came out, the more clever members felt that something was not right, and Yang Congrong's meaning actually agreed with Zhao Qi's opinion.
The one who had just objected immediately said: "Now we are not strong enough, Kublai Khan will not die, and the impact will not be great." ”
Yang said with a smile: "Zhao Qi's truth is right. If the Great Song Dynasty sends troops to kill here, I think it will be at least thirty years later, right? What do you think? ”
Hearing the figure of thirty years, everyone was a little disappointed. In such an era when life is scarce for 70 years and life expectancy is only 50 years old, the group of people in front of me don't know how many will survive after 30 years.
"I think it's 30 to 50 years." Someone replied.
"But if Mongolia is not our enemy, in about three to five years, we will be able to establish a few peaceful stronghold cities in the Mediterranean. We don't do this at the moment just because of Mongolian hostility. ”
If there is an optimistic view, there will be a non-optimistic view, "As long as we do not negotiate peace with Mongolia, Mongolia will be beaten in the east, and probably will regain face in the west." I don't think the Mongols are doing it now, they just think we don't have enough strength now. ”
"Those people are just a part of Mongolia."
"It's scary to have that part of the population."
……
After such a quarrel, people who have no strength still do not have a consensus in the end. When the discussion was over, Yang wrote a letter to Hao Ren, asking him what he thought about the safety of the Great Song Dynasty's establishment of a production base in the Mediterranean. Originally, Yang Congrong wanted to write a letter to Boyan Dashuai, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Because in order to cover for others, Yang Congrong was a prisoner under Boyan for two years. This Boyan gave Yang Congrong too much psychological pressure, and Yang Congrong was worried that if he wrote a letter to Boyan, he would probably be eaten by Boyan and there would be no bones left.
After the letter was delivered to Kyiv, Hao Ren didn't fully understand what Yang Congrong meant at first. For Hao Ren, what he is most looking forward to is not to become one of the core of Mongolian power, but to stand as far as possible outside the core management of Mongolia. The system of the Yuan State was completely different from that of Mongolia, and the population of the Yuan State was also very different from that of Mongolia. If Kublai Khan knew about the current situation of the Yuan Kingdom, he was afraid that he would be furious, right?
Since he couldn't figure it out, Hao Ren called Prime Minister Wei Jingwang. Wei Jingwang finished reading the letter and said with some hesitation: "King, I think these Song people want to open a factory in our Yuan Kingdom?" ”
Hearing this, Hao Ren felt that he understood. At this time, Hao Ren was overjoyed, he had a heartfelt admiration for the technology of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the Great Song Dynasty only opened a factory in the Yuan Kingdom, it would be of a lot of help to the Yuan Kingdom.
