Located in the northernmost part of Jinyang Street, the Overseas Economic Strategy Mansion is an official office covering an area of about eight acres, and will be changed to the county government office when it is moved to Han County through the Strategy.

Dozens of wooden houses were also built behind the palace as a dormitory for officials, and Fanning also had a dormitory here, but he never lived there.

walked to the door of the official office, but saw more than a dozen Japanese samurai with white hair combed at the door, which made Fan Ning stunned, these Japanese samurai should have come with the procurement fleet, but how could they appear here, so Fan Ning was really a little puzzled.

He walked up the steps quickly, and an official stepped forward to report: "It is an envoy sent by the Emperor of Japan, and he is talking with the envoy." ”

Fan Ning nodded, sure enough, tens of thousands of Song soldiers lived around Japan, it was strange that they didn't notice it, and now that almost half a year has passed, they have found out that it is relatively late.

Fan Ning thought for a while and said to the official: "Please Zhao Yuanjun come over first, and I will communicate with him a little before going over." ”

The official hurriedly went, Fan Ning came to his official room, and as soon as he sat down, Zhao Zongshi walked in.

"Presumably Brother Xian already knows that the Japanese imperial envoy has arrived and wants to negotiate with us in Kunzhou."

"What do they mean? Do you want us to quit Kunzhou? ”

Zhao Zongshi nodded, "That's pretty much what it means, the envoy said, Kunzhou is their backyard, although it is overgrown with weeds, but it is not without a master, we as guests can temporarily park the boat here, but we can't forcibly occupy other backyards, and we can't occupy the magpie's nest." ”

"The dove occupies the magpie's nest?"

Fanning sneered, "They know how to use words. ”

"This envoy's Chinese is very good, and there is no need for a translator."

"Alright, let's go meet him together."

The two of them walked quickly to the guest hall, only to see a man in a wide robe sitting in the guest hall, about forty years old, with a white hair, dark skin, a pair of eyes that were very bright, his expression was serious, and there was no trace of a smile on his face.

Zhao Zongshi introduced Fan Ning to him, "This is the superintendent Fan Yushi, who holds the sword of the Son of Heaven to supervise overseas." ”

The envoy was immediately in awe, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "In Shimoakihara Uemon, the envoy of Japan, I have come to meet your army!" ”

Fanning smiled slightly, "I wonder if your envoy is an envoy from Fujiwara Seki, or an envoy from the emperor?" Or is it an emissary of the Emperor? ”

The envoy was secretly surprised, the other party actually knew the three power centers in Japan, he didn't dare to underestimate it, and hurriedly said respectfully: "I am the emperor's envoy!" ”

"Mr. Akihara, please be seated!"

The three of them sat down, and some soldiers served them tea again, Fan Ning said lightly: "I know that there is a civil strife in your country, Abe and Qingyuan divide the northeast and do not recognize the emperor, it is said that the imperial court sent Minamoto Yoriyoshi, the son of Gen Yorishi, to lead the Kwantung Army to fight against the rebels, plus the previous Pingzhongchang Rebellion, the internal war in Japan has lasted for fifty or sixty years, the lives are ruined, the people are not happy, the emperor of your country does not care about the life and death of the people, but he wants to make enemies with the Song Dynasty, this is very unwise!" ”

Akihara Uemon was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Zhao Zongshi next to him was also surprised, how could Fan Ning know these things? Could it be that he sent Xu Qing to Japan to inquire about the news?

Akihara Uemon said for a while: "We have always admired the Song Dynasty, and we have no idea of evil, but Ezo has always been the backyard of Japan, and it is the land of Japan......."

"Wrong!"

Fan Ning categorically interrupted him, "Kunzhou is by no means the land of Japan, it is just close to you, its owner should be what you call the Ezo people, we call them Kun people, they have lived here for generations, and now they have returned to the Great Song Dynasty and become the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so the land they live in naturally belongs to the Great Song Dynasty and becomes my Great Song Dynasty, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"But they are just natives living here, not a country, but Japan allows them to live here, just like there are Shanyi people in your country, can they sell us the land, and we can claim that it is Japanese territory?"

Fanning also had to admire the eloquence of this envoy, in fact, there was no convincing legal basis on both sides, and Japan could only say that since ancient times, they fishermen have been active here, so this is their backyard.

The Song Dynasty can only say that there is no Japanese garrison, no government, and even no citizens here, that is, the terra nullius, the local aborigines submitted to the Great Song Dynasty, and Kunzhou belonged to the Great Song Dynasty.

The public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the argument will not yield results a thousand times or ten thousand times.

At this time, Zhao Zongshi smiled and said: "Actually, the envoy of Zhangyuan is in the wrong place, he should go to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, we are just acting on orders, if the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty asks us to withdraw, then of course we have to withdraw, if the Son of Heaven does not allow us to withdraw, even if you come with 10,000 troops, we can only accompany us to the end." ”

Akihara Uemon was silent, and finally he nodded, "I understand, I'll go back and report to the emperor, and ask him to send someone to negotiate with the emperor of your country as soon as possible!" ”

..........

Akihara Youemon finally left, and Zhao Zongshi immediately sent someone to the barracks to invite Di Qing.

The three of them negotiated a plan for dealing with the incident in the official office.

After listening to Zhao Zongshi's explanation of the situation, Di Qing said: "This is a typical salute before the soldiers, once the negotiation cannot achieve the goal, they will inevitably send troops, we have prepared before this result, we must not slack off, we must step up training." ”

Zhao Zongshi also nodded, "Japan is currently in civil strife, there should be no time to take care of us for the time being, they will go to the capital to negotiate, and then start to prepare, at least two years or even longer, we still hurry up to consolidate the occupation of Kunzhou, I suggest that we start building Seoul as soon as possible!" ”

Zhao Zongshi's suggestion was agreed by Di Qing, and the two looked at Fan Ning again.

Fan Ning pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I have a plan, the two of you will see if it is feasible?" ”

Di Qing and Zhao Zongshi both knew that Fan Ning was resourceful, although he was young, his methods were old and spicy, which was completely inconsistent with his age.

Di Qing smiled: "Just waiting for your suggestion!" ”

Fan Ning said lightly: "First of all, we have to let the imperial court understand that we want to have Kunzhou for a long time, and we must let Japan officially recognize Kunzhou as the land of the Great Song Dynasty, so that we can gain a firm foothold in law, but to let Japan recognize that we own Kunzhou, negotiation is meaningless, war is inevitable, only through war, can Kunzhou get long-term peace, these two principles hope that our imperial court can recognize, this task will be handed over to the envoy of the strategy." ”

Zhao Zongshi was stunned, "Didn't you go back to the court?" ”

Fan Ning shook his head, "The situation has changed, I still stay in Kunzhou to start preparing, and I will go back next year, and it will be more convincing for the imperial court to go back." ”

Di Qing also said: "Fan Yushi is right, he can't leave the imperial court for too long, and he needs to go back to gather some political forces, so it's better for Fan Yushi to stay here." ”

Zhao Zongshi nodded silently, he knew what the two meant, if he left the capital for too long, the Zhang family would probably take the opportunity to lay out.

"Alright! Then I'll go back, and I'll leave the matter of the horse farm to Brother Fan Xian. ”

Fanning nodded, "I'll do my best to take care of the horses." ”

"Then what else does Fan Yushi have in mind about dealing with Japan?" Di Qing asked with a smile again.

Fanning smiled faintly, "Since there is a rebellion in the northeast of Japan, we might as well secretly support the rebellious family, let their civil war last as long as possible, and finally force the other emperor to negotiate with us, and recognize Kunzhou will become an option for both sides to negotiate." ”

"Brilliant plan!"

Di Qing gave a thumbs up and praised: "The civil war between the enemy and the two ends of the profit, this is simply a wonderful plan, Fan Yushi must stay to make a plan, I don't allow you to go back to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

........

Fanning returned to his residence in Tang County, and the Akihito brothers and Zhu Lin had already returned, talking and laughing and packing their luggage.

Fan Ning didn't bother to talk about them, and stepped forward to say to the three of them: "Let me tell you something, the plan has changed, I may have to stay in Kunzhou, you follow Zhao Zhijun back to the Great Song Dynasty, and you will leave tomorrow morning!" ”

Akihito suddenly said urgently: "Didn't you say that if you stabilize it, your duties will be over?" Why stay for another year? ”

Fanning smiled: "The problem is that there is no stability now, Japan is involved again, asking us to withdraw to the Great Song Dynasty, this time it is not a group of natives, but a country, with more than 100,000 troops, I have to stay and deal with it." ”

The three of them stopped talking, and after a while, Mingli said, "Do you have anything that you need us to hand over to your parents?" ”

Fanning nodded, "The gifts and letters I gave them are in the box, you help me give them to my parents, and in addition, there is a shell king for me to Jupei's grandfather, thank him for giving me Cuiyun Peak." ”

"What about Peer?"

Next to him, Zhu Lin said: "Do you have any gifts for her?" ”

Fanning took a box from his bosom, "Give this to her!" ”

All three of them exclaimed, they all knew that this box contained a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, a gift from the chief of the natives of Sakhalin to Fanning, which was extremely precious.

Zhu Lin understood Fanning's intentions, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry! We must give it to the seventh sister. ”

.........

Early the next morning, a fleet of 700 large ships carrying 3,000 soldiers prepared to leave for the Great Song Dynasty, where they were to walk along the southern coast of Japan, and the Japanese envoy Akihara Uemon also returned to Heiankyo on the Song fleet.

Returning to China with Zhao Zongshi was also the Kun Elder Sapu, who would go to meet the Great Song Emperor and accept the canonization of the Great Song Emperor.

The fleet set sail slowly to the sound of war drums, and with the help of the strong autumn wind, it sailed towards the bay.

Fan Ning waved goodbye to Akihito and the three of them, looking at the fleet moving away, Fan Ning turned back to Xu Qing and smiled: "Now it's too late for you to regret wanting to go back." ”

Xu Qing smiled slightly, "I have nothing to worry about, it's the same everywhere, but if you promise, give me a good horse, and you can't go back!" ”

Fanning looked up and laughed, "It's not a big deal, okay!" In addition to stallions, thousands of other war horses, you can choose at your disposal! ”
