Chapter 31: The Nations

It is the end of the year, winter goes to spring, the spring breeze in the south of the Yangtze River blows slowly, and the residual snow on the shore, the green of the branches, and the chill in the air are mixed, a little bit of the taste of spring cold. The envoys of various countries on the deck of the Qiantang River steam cruise ship watched the scenery on both sides of the river, and many people seemed to be a little absent-minded.

"The truth is that the steamship is really a thousand miles a day, and it is not afraid of the direction of the wind. In the past, it took seven days to go to Goryeo and borrow the south wind. Now, no matter when or where, five days is enough. To go to Hakata Port in Japan, it is a maximum of ten days, which is really convenient! ”

The Goryeo envoy Li Kuibao stood on the deck, brushing his white beard, in admiration.

Compared with the cold winter and spring of Goryeo, the climate in Gangnam is cool at best.

"Li Xianggong, I heard that the Privy Council of your country made Cui Yi dictatorial, since the first year of Xingqing in the Great Song Dynasty, the hundred officials of Goryeo presented the political affairs books on Cui Yi's mansion and handed them to Cui Yi for a look. After that, Cui Yi set up a "government room" in his private residence, and selected scribes to serve as personnel decisions, and the king of Goryeo could only draw a charge. Choi Xiang's public power leans towards the government and the opposition, and he is known as "Goryeo Shi Miyuan". Lee Sang-gong is the secretary of the provincial judge, and the ministers of Goryeo should know about it. ”

After experiencing Shi Miyuan's administration, Zhen Deok-so hated the affairs of the powerful ministers who abused their power and neglected the king, and they were naturally extremely dissatisfied with the powerful minister Cui Yi of Goryeo.

If it had been left behind, Zhen Deok-so would never have said such contemptuous words. Now that the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous and the military power is coming, Zhen Dexiu's confidence as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty is also much stronger.

"The truth is public, although Cui Xianggong is a little more domineering, but he is dedicated to the country. The king was weak and wanted to surrender to Tatar several times, if it weren't for Choi Sang-gong's resistance to the enemy, Goryeo would have been Tatar Daru Huachi. The army of the Great Song Dynasty was stationed on the southeast coast of Goryeo, and Choi Sang-gong provided grain and grass and baggage, and did not disrespect the Celestial Empire. The truth is clear. ”

Li Kuibao's embarrassing explanation made Zhen Dexiu satisfied, and then laughed.

"Li Xianggong, don't be careful. The Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo were good friends and were known all over the world. If the Tatars bullied Goryeo again, the Great Song Dynasty would not stand idly by. ”

The Coastal Preparation Division was stationed in the area of Jinju on the southeast coast of Goryeo, which eliminated the Japanese and also helped Goryeo resist foreign enemies. The Goryeo Naval Division is weak, and I am afraid that it can only accept the garrison of the Great Song Naval Division.

"Thank you very much. The army of the Great Song Dynasty was stationed in the southeast, facing each other across the sea from Hakata, but it was only three hundred miles, and the morning and evening came. Wang Shi: Is this going to use troops against Japan? The Kamakura shogunate built a stone wall along the coast of Hakata Port that was several miles long, and the visitors were not good! ”

The Song army's intention to station troops on the southeast coast of Goryeo was guessed by Li Kuibao.

The construction of ports and wharves, the construction of forts, and the training of troops at sea could not have been to help Goryeo drive away pirates.

"Li Xianggong, I can't hide it, five years ago, my uncle Zhou An of the Great Song Dynasty was killed in Japan, and Japan only paid a mere 500 yuan, and there was not even a letter of apology. I, the Song Dynasty and the opposition, are all extremely indignant. Didn't you notice that the Japanese envoy had been expelled by my Great Song Emperor. As for whether or not to use troops against Japan, it is not known at the next level. ”

Judging from the emperor's words and deeds in recent days, I am afraid that after the Northern Expedition, the Great Song Dynasty Navy Division will use troops in Japan.

As for Japan's defense of the stone wall at Hakata Port, Shintokushu did not pay attention to it.

The earth-shattering thunder blossom bomb exploded indiscriminately, and it was not rotted into slag.

"That's it! Is that! Japan is indeed too arrogant and contemptuous of the matter of the national uncle, and there should be an explanation. ”

Li Kui reported it in his ears and was secretly surprised.

Zhou An's sister is the favorite concubine of the Great Song Emperor, and she is about to be made the Empress of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhou An's elder brother is also the head of the Anti-Corruption Department of the Great Song Dynasty and a close minister of the Great Song Dynasty. It seems that it will not be long before there will be a big war.

The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were strong and strong, and the sailors were strong and artillery, and they had the advantage at sea.

"The truth of the prince, the bullying of the Eastern Xia, and the invasion of the Tatars at any time, please also ask the truth to say a few words in front of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. The top and bottom of the country of Goryeo will be grateful. Goryeo will be grateful! ”

Li Kuibao said in a low voice, never forgetting the mission.

Today's Great Song Dynasty soldiers are flourishing, like the sky. The Great Song Dynasty likes to show off its force and abuse it, and the small state of Goryeo can be careful of "big things". This is the consistent national policy of Goryeo, and only by moving around can we protect Goryeo's interests as much as possible.

"Li Xianggong can rest assured that Goryeo and my Great Song Dynasty are of the same culture, and the culture is in the same line, and I will do my best in the future. Later, my Emperor Song will meet with the envoys of various countries one by one. If you have any words, you can play it to my Great Song Tianzi in person! ”

Sure enough, Zhen Dexiu said with an arrogant face, and Li Kuibao nodded again and again, slightly relieved.

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had always been friendly to Goryeo, and hoped that the Great Song Dynasty could help against the invasion of the Mongol and Eastern Xia kingdoms.

"I've seen the truth!"

Gao Xiang, the envoy of Dali, came up, bowed to Zhen Dexiu, and reported to Li Kui. Li Kui returned the favor and walked away with interest.

Dali borders the Great Song Dynasty, which is also a temptation.

"Gao Xianggong, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same!"

Zhen Dexiu's gaze swept to the side of the deck, and Wei Liaoweng seemed to be talking to the envoy of the Great Yue Kingdom.

The Great Song Dynasty was so powerful and aggressive that the nations couldn't sit still.

"The truth is public, the Great Song Dynasty defeated the main force of the Tatar army and raised the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, and all the countries were overjoyed and raised their eyebrows. The foreign minister is the Great Song He! ”

Gao Xiangyan was insincere, bowed solemnly, and his face was full of smiles.

"Gao Xianggong, my great Song Dynasty emperor is wise, the soldiers are brave, and the six armies are killed, so that they can break the Tartars. Rejoice! Rejoice! ”

Zhen Dexiu also danced with his eyebrows and said something about the scene.

This Gao Xiang is the younger brother of Gao Xiang, the prime minister of Dali, and is a well-educated Confucian general, who has some prestige in Dali.

"The truth is public, Dali and the Great Song Dynasty have always been friends, and they have paid tribute every year, and they have never been slack. May the two countries be friendly for generations to come and enjoy peace forever! ”

Hearing Gao Xiang's words in his ears, Zhen Dexiu smiled softly.

"Gao Xianggong, have you seen the map of China in my imperial study of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty? On that, Dali is within the scope of China's territory. ”

"China...... Map! ”

Gao Xiang was taken aback and was speechless for a while.

Zhen Dexiu means this, is the Great Song Dynasty going to use troops to Dali?

Zhen Dexiu left and started a conversation with the Ayyubid envoy Best, leaving Gao Xiang in a daze on the side of the ship.

"Wei Xianggong, my Dayue has always been obedient to the Great Song Dynasty, and has sent Shi tribute over the years, but the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty seems to have a deep prejudice against my Dayue. What does the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty want, please also ask Duke Wei to make it clear. ”

Chen Liu, the envoy of the Great Yue Kingdom, seemed to be a little resentful in terms of generosity.

Chen Liu is the elder brother of Chen Xuan, the emperor of Da Yue, and has some influence in Da Yue. With the acquiescence of the Great Song Dynasty, Champa repeatedly invaded Dayue, plundered the villagers, and plundered goods, which was tolerable and unbearable.

"Gong Chen, it seems unfair to say that my Great Song Sailor supported the Zhancheng State. Champa is a vassal state of my Great Song Dynasty, and they borrow some sea ships to use it, can I not borrow it from the Great Song Dynasty? Dayue envoy, are you thinking too much? ”

Wei Liaoweng said lightly, and did not admit that it was the Great Song Sailor who did it.

"Xianggong Wei, Zhancheng borrowed a warship, and there were Great Song Dynasty soldiers on it. The city of Champa intruded on the coast of Dayue, and demanded that our dynasty return the old land of Champa that had been seized by the Li Dynasty in the past. If there was no Great Song Dynasty Wangshi to back him up, would Zhancheng dare to be so tough? ”

Chen Liuhuo became louder, and his voice unconsciously rose higher, attracting the attention of the people on the surrounding decks.

"Gong Chen, according to what you said, my Great Song Dynasty is the culprit?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Wei Liaoweng's face was pale, righteous and awe-inspiring, and his voice was several degrees higher.

"Don't say whether my Da Song is behind the scenes, don't forget, your Da Yue is my Chinese homeland. Xiang County in the Qin Dynasty and Jiaozhi in the Han Dynasty, do you have to tell me about the history of the Chen Dynasty? You Chen Dynasty royal family, your ancestors are my Great Song Fujian clan. It seems inappropriate for you to betray your ancestors and forget your ancestors. ”

Emperor Tran Xuan of the Great Viet Kingdom, his fifth ancestor, Tran Jing, emigrated from Fujian to Vietnam and has been engaged in fishing for generations. It was passed on to his grandfather Chen Li, who was very influential in Jimo Township. Later, the Fan You Rebellion broke out in Dayue, and the emperor at that time fled from Beijing with the crown prince Li Min. On the way to escape, Li Min married Chen Li's daughter as a concubine. Since then, the Chen family has become a family of relatives. Later, the Chen family replaced Li and took control of the Da Viet regime.

Therefore, Wei Liaoweng said that Chen Liu and other digital dictionaries forgot their ancestors, which is also well-founded.

"Duke Wei, stop your anger!"

Wei Liaoweng's face was gloomy, Chen Liu was startled, and quickly held back his anger and put on a smile.

"Wei Gong, I just felt aggrieved in my heart and collided with Wei Gong. I hope that Wei Gong will not be surprised. I also hope that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will be gracious and adjust from it, and don't let Zhancheng do whatever he wants. ”

At this time, knowing that it was Da Song who was making waves in the future, and knowing that the other party was at a loss, he could only swallow his anger.

What is the combat power of the Great Song Dynasty, the field battle can defeat the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry, and the naval battle is a strong ship and a sharp cannon, and there are few opponents in the world. The Great Yue Kingdom is just a small country, how dare it openly offend the Great Song Dynasty?

"Gong Chen, if there is any dispute between Da Yue and Zhancheng, you can settle it by yourself, and I, Da Song, will not participate, and will remain neutral. Da Song Tianzi is there, wait for you to see him and see how he recovers. ”

Wei Liaoweng's face became gentle again, and he even smiled.

As the emperor said, the country of Dayue is the homeland of China, and if the king of the Great Song Dynasty can go on a northern expedition to restore the Central Plains, won't he go south to recover Dayue?

Chen Liu walked away resignedly, and his face immediately sank.

The Great Song Dynasty was domineering, and he really thought that he was the Zhou royal family at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period.

After a tour of the steamboat, it stopped at the Qiantang River wharf, Wei Liaoweng and Zhen Dexiu disembarked with the envoys, sat in a four-wheeled carriage, and headed in the direction of the city.

"True father, do you feel that the envoys of the countries are in awe of my Great Song Dynasty, and they are sincerely afraid?"

Wei Liaoweng said to Zhendexiu, who was in the same car.

"The soldiers are in the world, the guests are subdued, and all the countries are coming to the court, and the Chang'an City of the year is nothing more than that."

There seems to be a hint of sarcasm in Zhen Deok-so's words.

The Great Song Dynasty no longer convinces people with "virtue", on the one hand, it is force, on the other hand, it is Confucianism, simple and rude, and there is no benevolence and courtesy, which shocks the countries, how majestic!

"It's better to have a soldier in the world than a soldier in the city. From the Northern Expedition of Yongxi, to the Alliance of Tanyuan, to the shame of Jingkang and the southern crossing of the Song Dynasty, isn't it humiliating enough? ”

has known each other for more than 20 years, how could Wei Liaoweng not be familiar with his fellow friends, and how could he not understand the meaning of his words.

"Duke Wei, having said that, the Manchu Dynasty was originally a Huanghuang scholar, and he was poured in by these martial artists, and his anger was too strong and indecent. Not to mention, these border generals all have heavy troops, and there is no supervising army in the army, so in the long run, there will be worries about the feudal town! ”

Jin Deok so couldn't help it, and the complaint was finally issued.

The martial style is too strong, the literary tone is weak, and in the long run, the Great Song Dynasty has no etiquette, and it is all a martial artist with a sword and a sword, and the context of the Great Song Dynasty is broken.

"Flooded in? In another ten or twenty years, the court will probably be flooded with military generals. The court still wants them to charge, they are still young. It won't be long before they will come to the house and replace you and me. ”

Wei Liaoweng said with emotion, worried between his eyebrows.

"In a world of great contention, the weak eat the strong. The emperor wanted to rebuild a powerful Great Song Dynasty with iron and blood. You say, is this a mistake? ”

Gone wrong?

Zhen Deok-so's eyes were confused and fell into deep thought.

If we really go wrong, will there be a scene of all nations coming to court today?
