Chapter 392: Going out to hunt and meeting the messenger for the first time
readx;? Yang Jing knew Gao Taixiang's intentions very well, but it was just Gao Taixiang's intentions towards his son Gao Wen, he didn't know that the Mongols had also sent envoys, so he couldn't understand Gao Taixiang's warning, but he could already see what kind of person Gao Taixiang was.

From stepping into Xiangguo Mansion, seeing the layout and architectural details of Xiangguo Mansion, and then looking at Gao Taixiang's children, Yang Jing already has a general impression of Gao Taixiang.
Seeing Gao Taixiang himself again, and seeing his way of educating his son, Yang Jing has even more insight into this Dali Xiangguo, so his well-intentioned praise is indeed from the heart.
Gao Taixiang said to Yang Jing: "The old man has been yearning for the customs of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, but he can only read it in the classics, and he can't appreciate it in person.
Yang Jing laughed and said: "This official is also full of expectations for Dali's favors, Xiangguo's proposal is in my arms, but Yang is disrespectful." ”
As soon as Yang Jing said this, he glanced at Feng Ruochen and the others, who also avoided it with interest, but the other prince Yu Hou did not move, Yang Jing couldn't help frowning, and Yu Hou reluctantly went down.
Gao Taixiang saw this move in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, but he didn't break it, and he came to the flower hall with Yang Jing, and his own slaves and maids presented the drinks and dishes at a low price.
These drinks and food are also not much, seemingly inconspicuous, but they have their own ingenuity, just like Gao Taixiang's mansion, which is ordinary and plain at a rough look, and only after tasting it carefully can you get the true taste.
The two chatted casually about what they had seen and heard, and they didn't talk about any major military and political affairs, and they didn't even mention anything about the envoys.
Not long after, Gao Caizhi also came to join in the fun, but his words and deeds were polite, his manners were moderate, full of the elegance of everyone's ladies, not the slightest bit domineering, wild like a madman outside, and honest like a prisoner at home.
Yang Jing saw that Gao Taixiang asked his daughter to sit down, and he also knew that there was no way to talk about business this time, Xu Gao Taixiang deliberately hung his appetite, Yang Jing was not in a hurry, only talked about Fengyue and ignored political affairs, and the atmosphere was also harmonious.
In the afternoon, the sun was quiet and people were lazy, Gao Caizhi proposed that the morning hunt made Yang Jing give her a bad thing, and asked Yang Jing to compensate her, Gao Taixiang also jokingly helped on the side, saying that looking at the entire royal capital, no one dared to refuse Gao Caizhi, the county lord.
Yang Jing also laughed, and quickly agreed to come down as appropriate, Gao Taixiang also asked people to send hunting equipment, Yang Jing glanced at it, for the traditional costumes of the Dali nobles, Yang Jing did not care, and did not mean to wear it, after all, he represented the Great Song Dynasty, and his momentum could not be weakened.
But what he didn't expect was that in addition to the crossbow eagle dog, Gao Taixiang actually prepared a six-foot-long firearm for him!
Yang Jing didn't expect Dali to have firearms, compared to bows and crossbows, Yang Jing is naturally more interested in firearms, even if he picks up the firearms, he can play with them.
Gao Taixiang opened his arms slightly, asked his personal guards to help him put on the armor, and explained to Yang Jing casually.
"This firearm was captured from the Mongolian barbarians in the first battle of Huichuan, and I heard that the Great Song Dynasty also had a pear flower gun, but I don't know how it compares with this firecracker?"
Yang Jing asked Du Kefeng to develop firearms earlier, and even wrote the general formula of smokeless gunpowder and the design drawings of the new flintlock pistol for Du Kefeng, and by the way, he also learned about the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty does have a firearm called the pear flower gun, which is actually tied to a bamboo barrel on the head of the iron gun, and the rocket is stuffed into the bamboo barrel and triggered by the fire rope.
When facing the enemy, the rocket is fired first, the explosion power of this rocket is not large, but the sound and light can cause the enemy to panic and dodge, and the iron gun can stab the enemy to death.
Although it can be regarded as a firearm, the efficiency of its use is very low, and the real killing of the enemy does not rely on the powerful power of the firearm, the rocket is only used to disrupt and confuse the enemy, and the real killing is actually in the iron gun that follows behind.
Compared with this fire gun from the hands of the Mongols, the pear flower gun is indeed a little out of the table, and the Mongols went west, but also absorbed some advanced technology in the Western Regions, and the power of the fire gun is greater, plus the bomb-like earth-shattering thunder, and the return cannon, the Mongols in addition to the iron hoof knife gun, these firearms are also their magic weapon to win.
However, Gao Taixiang's implication is also obvious, and he does not mean to show off his might to Yang Jing, but in Yang Jing's opinion, Gao Taixiang is also a little suspicious of wanting to cover up.
He was actually very eager to get the aid of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the Mongols were the invaders, and the Great Song Dynasty was in their rear, whether in terms of geographical location or the origin of the two sides, or at the strategic level, the Great Song Dynasty should assist Dali militarily and jointly fight against the Mongols.
But he is worried that the Great Song Dynasty will take the opportunity to take advantage of Dali, and now the Great Song Dynasty is no better than the Great Song Dynasty during the Taizu period, at this time, the Great Song Dynasty is in a corner of peace, and the territory has shrunk a lot, and even the places north of the Huai River have been lost to the Mongols.
After Yang Jing saw through Gao Taixiang's careful thinking, he just played dumb riddles with him, and said to Gao Taixiang: "Xiangguo doesn't know, this pear flower gun is already an old yellow calendar, and now my Da Song is equipped with a new type of musket, better than this firecracker, hehehe, if you have a chance, let Xiangguo have a good look." ”
Gao Taixiang didn't expect Yang Jing to answer without leaking, just laughed it off, and after putting on his clothes, he walked out of the practice room with Yang Jing.
When they arrived outside, the inner rank Yu Hou and Feng Ruochen and others had been waiting for a long time, as Yang Jing expected, the arrogant inner rank Yu Marquis was not wearing Dali's clothes and armor, and Feng Ruochen and Lu Baiyu were women, and they also did not change their clothes.
A large number of good hands of the Xiangguo Mansion have already led dogs and eagles, carrying long bows and short knives, etc., and lined up in a phalanx to wait in front of the door.
Not long after Yang Jing and Feng Ruochen and others came out, a team came from the end of the street, riding a tall horse, carrying a long bow, a big knife and water bladder on the horse's back, a mighty Hai Dongqing, and a big braid, it turned out to be Mongolians!
When he saw this group of Mongols, Yang Jing was also shocked in his heart, because at this time, Mongolia and Dali were at war, and the only one who could appear in the capital of Dali could only be one identity, that is, the Mongolian envoys!
Yang Jing thought that the Mongols were just persuading the lords of various provinces and counties, but he didn't expect them to send envoys!
Yang Jing frowned and looked at Gao Taixiang, but the Dali Xiangguo did not pay attention to Yang Jing's gaze, but rode up to meet him, and had a good greeting with the Mongolian envoy, and the degree of intimacy was no less than the conversation with Yang Jing!
The Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia have also been entangled for many years, and it is not too much to say that they are mortal enemies, as envoys of the two countries, whether it is Yang Jing or the Mongolian envoy, they have no intention of taking the initiative to make friends.
Gao Taixiang introduced to Yang Jing: "Lord Yang, this is Borzijin Kuhel, and I am also a distinguished guest of Dali, hunting with us today, Kuheer is a Mongolian warrior, a well-known good hunter, who is more skilled in the two adults, and the old man is also looking forward to it... Hahaha..."
Yang Jing glanced at it, but saw that although this Kuheer had a big beard, his eyes were clear, he was about in his early thirties, he was in the prime of life, and his quality grandson clothes were bulging by his strong body, and the attendant behind him was holding a majestic Hai Dongqing, and the horses under the seat were taller than those horses in Gao Taixiang's mansion!
Na Huheer was also looking at Yang Jing, and saw that Yang Jing was carrying the fire gun captured from the battlefield by the Dali people, and his eyes suddenly showed flame-like anger and hostility.
Yang Jing looked at it, but there was a horse-chopping sword hanging on the back of the Kuheer horse, and it should be the equipment of the Great Song Dynasty border army, which was captured from the Great Song army on the northern battlefield.
As a result, the smell of gunpowder on both sides has become stronger and stronger.
Gao Taixiang just smiled, and saw that Yang Jing and Kuheer did not mean to greet each other, so he planned to set off.
Kuheer's war horse is very majestic, head high, like a victorious general, elegant gait, still wearing leather armor, at a glance is a well-trained BMW, at this time Kuheer slightly forward, there is a situation of walking side by side with Gao Taixiang!
Yang Jing was slightly behind half a horse, but Gao Taixiang didn't say a word, and walked forward slowly, that Kuheer seemed to be even more proud, and glanced at the people behind him, and the falcons held by these people made a roaring sound!
These Mongolian barbarians are going to do something, and they won't give face to the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty!
Yang Jing felt a little unhappy in his heart, it is said that he should swallow his anger as an envoy, in order to achieve the ultimate goal, temporary forbearance is very necessary and very worthwhile.
But Yang Jing already knew the details of the Mongols, not only did they lack food, but their Great Khan had also died violently, and the commander of the army, Guiyou, had to rush back to the northern imperial court to compete for the throne, they just wanted to break through Gao Taixiang's psychological defense line and let Dali surrender!
Yang Jing was also a little annoyed, if he didn't want to endure it for the time being, and wanted to wait until Zhao Jingyin arrived in the royal capital, and then formally discuss with Gao Taixiang in detail, he would have already informed Gao Taixiang of the details of the Mongols.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Jing does not intend to endure it any longer, if he shows weakness in this regard, it will make Gao Taixiang lose confidence in the Great Song Dynasty.
It seems that Gao Taixiang has such a temperament, everything has to fight for and rob by himself, but it is the same as the Mongols, if he is still weak and waiting, he will definitely make Gao Taixiang and the Mongolian envoys look down on him!
The mind has been decided, Yang Jing glanced at Lu Baiyu, Lu Baiyu and the others have been watching the Mongolian barbarians show off their might, and they are already angry in their hearts, these Mongolian Tartars don't know how many Song Dynasty soldiers they have killed, how much land they have invaded in the Great Song Dynasty, and how many Song Dynasty people they have slaughtered!
After receiving Yang Jing's signal, Lu Baiyu secretly opened a sachet, and there were bursts of exclamations in Xiangguo's mansion after a while!
Kuheer and Gao Taixiang heard the sound and looked back, but they saw that the servants had escaped from the Xiangguo Mansion one after another, and a black shadow rushed out like a cloud of black smoke!
"Roar!"
Kui Hu Hongxue roared, whether it was the Dali people or the Mongolian eagle falcon lackeys, they were all so frightened that they exploded on the spot, and the hunting lackeys struggled one after another, wanting to get rid of the shackles and flee for their lives, but after breaking free, they could only lie on the ground, whimpering, and trembling!
Including the Mongolian Hai Dongqing, those eagle falcons have flapped their wings, and the masters can't be involved, some of the attendants were even dragged by the eagle falcon and fell off the horse, and some were caught by the crazy eagle falcon and their faces were covered with blood!
Kuheer and Gao Taixiang looked at Kui Hu dumbfounded, and then saw Yang Jing raise his hand slightly, Kui Hu obediently returned to Lu Baiyu's side, and those eagle falcon lackeys also quieted down, just drooping their heads one by one, trembling, no longer as majestic as before.
Yang Jing gently knocked the horse's belly, walked forward slowly, crossed Gao Taixiang and Kuheer, and said to the two of them without incident: "Two adults, the official's hound has also arrived, let's set off?"
The corners of his mouth twitched at the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't help scolding in his heart: "Fuck your mother! Whose dog looks like this ghost in your house! What kind of hunting is this to beat your mother!"
