"Until now, the other party has not given up?"

Zhao Yun was suddenly surprised, and looked at Zheng Qingzhi with a pair of eyes, obviously with a bit of reprimand.

Zheng Qingzhi knew that he was incompetent, so he had to bow his head and apologize: "The old minister is incompetent, he is really powerless. ”

"Can't you do it any other way?"

Zhao Yun asked again, he also knew the purpose of Xiao Feng's trip, but because of his previous behavior, he was always a little repulsed, and even except for the time in the Vertical Arch Palace, he had never seen Xiao Feng again.

Zheng Qingzhi's body stiffened, and then he shook his head and replied: "I tried, but it didn't work!"

God knows how many times he and Dong Huai have been to that Fengwu Mansion for that batch of arms, but every time they don't care about other things, as for the so-called arms, they either shirk or give up, in short, the other party just never said the word "willing".

Zheng Qingzhi already knew about Xiao Feng's attitude, so he also gave up his intention to persuade him.

At this moment, Yue Ke stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." In fact, Yichen thought that what Xiao Feng asked for could be fully agreed. ”

"Promise, do you know what an important thing it is to be crowned king, and you actually said yes?" Hearing this, Zheng Qingzhi was immediately furious, turned his face sideways and glared at Yue Ke, and the rest of the ministers also looked sideways, looking at Yue Ke in surprise, but they didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Even Zhao Yun was also annoyed, looking at Yue Ke with displeasure, and then asked, "What did you say?"

Yue Ke took a long breath to relax himself slightly, and then replied, "Your Majesty." Yichen thought that the matter of the king was ridiculous, but now the situation was critical, and without the help of the other party, Xiangyang City would definitely be in danger. If we accidentally let the other party capture Xiangyang City, what should we do when the time comes?"

"Shut up!"

Dong Huai was annoyed, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily: "I have my own General Meng to defend, how can I lose Xiangyang?"

"Master Dong, I'm afraid you're just talking too much. Hearing this, Yue Lin sneered three times, and then said: "You have never held a military position, let alone commanded an army, how can you conclude that Meng Hui will not fail? Is it just because he is an invincible myth? What's more, Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze are not idle people, especially among the famous generals in Mongolia, how can we conclude that this war will definitely be won?"

Dong Huai's heart was empty, and he immediately argued: "This matter and that, what does the safety of Xiangyang have to do with that Xiao Fengfeng king?"

"How can it not be related?" Yue Lin "poofed", but laughed, and the laughter was full of irony: "And when autumn is approaching, the Mongol army is also ready to move, and wants to take advantage of the cold weather to go south." At that time, Xiao Feng will definitely not be able to continue to stay in this Lin'an City for the sake of his army. And if she returns without merit, the people of the Red Phoenix Army will definitely have a gap with us. At that time, she does not need to join forces with the Mongols, she only needs to send a partial army to contain our army from the west, and Xiangyang City is in a state of being attacked from both sides, how can she defeat the other party?

"No! Then Xiao Feng will definitely not do this!"

Dong Huai opened his mouth and retorted.

Yue Ke interjected from the side and sneered, "Of course." Naturally, she wouldn't do that. But her subordinates, not necessarily. After all, she is not my Song Chen, and the Red Phoenix Army under her command is not the court of our dynasty. How do they act, and how do we know?"

Dong Huai was stunned immediately, and immediately lowered his head, revealing a little helplessness, and a trace of hesitation appeared in his mind.

"Yes. That guy is an unscrupulous person, how can he reject this kind of thing?"

Yue Lin warned again: "When the time comes, facing the siege of three Earth Immortals or even more enemies, do you think that Meng Heng alone will be able to defeat the other party? When the time comes, how can we confront each other?"

"I have a lot of talent in the court, and I will definitely be able to resist the attack of the other side. Dong Huai raised his head suddenly, but there was only this sentence in his words.

As soon as this sentence came out, there were bursts of snickering next to him, and it was obvious that those ministers were also full of distrust of this argument.

They naturally knew everything about the state of the Song Dynasty's army, so why didn't they understand how they could fight against the Echifeng army that was angry at the time of the rising sun with this rotten appearance?

Yue Ke ignored his thoughts even more, and bowed down to Zhao Yun: "It is precisely because of this that the old minister decided to let Xiao Feng be crowned king." ”

"That's right. The minister also agreed to let Xiao Feng be crowned king. Only in this way can the Red Phoenix Army be appeased and let it hide in the Guanzhong area in peace. And we can take advantage of this time to drive the other party out of the country, and then we can slowly figure out the affairs of the Red Phoenix Army. For now, the only way to do this is to defeat the Mongol army. ”

"There is some truth in what Aiqing said. Zheng Qingzhi, what do you think?"

Zhao Yun thought hard in his mind for a while, and naturally knew the pros and cons, but he had never been willing to export, so he looked directly at Zheng Qingzhi.

Although Zheng Qingzhi was annoyed, but under the persecution of Zhao Yun, he had no choice but to open his mouth and reply: "If this method is feasible, it can naturally be used." It's just that you should also know that the matter of sealing the king is a big matter, and if other people have no opinion, I naturally have no opinion. Fu You looked at Yue Ke and Yue Lin, obviously very angry.

Yue Ke ignored it completely, and immediately shouted: "The minister thinks this matter is feasible!"

Immediately after, Yue Lin also shouted, "Now that the war is in crisis, it is inevitable to offend the Chifeng Army and keep Xiangyang City, only this method can succeed." ”

"Your Majesty. I hope to allow Xiao Feng to be crowned king. ”

The rest of the ministers also stepped forward one after another, and persuaded again and again, although the voices were a little uneven, and the number was not very large, but at least there were some people, obviously they also knew that if this matter continued to drag on, it would be detrimental to the entire Song Dynasty.

Although Zhao Yun was annoyed, he had no choice but to look at Dong Huai in the current situation, so he looked at Dong Huai and asked, "Dong Huai!

"According to the minister's words. This is not impossible. Dong Huai saw that everyone was persuading, and he knew that it was difficult to return to heaven at this moment, so he said again: "But I can also use this king as a threat." If the other party can send these 8,000 guns, we can naturally allow this. In this way, not only can you get a batch of arms, but you can also avoid these expenses. ”

"That's very good. Zhao Yun nodded immediately and ordered: "This matter will be handled by you." Hope you have a good time with this. ”

Dong Huai leaned over and replied, his voice full of determination: "The old minister will definitely not disappoint His Majesty." ”

As soon as the words fell, he had already walked out of the vertical arch hall, and the rest of the people looked at him, and they also felt that this figure was so lonely, but it made people feel a little sad.

"Alas. Hope all the best. ”

Looking at this scene, Zheng Qingzhi's eyebrows condensed slightly, naturally with great worry.

After months of delay, I don't know what Xiao Feng's attitude is.

For this matter, he consciously took on his own responsibility, but the situation has changed, and he has finally come to this point, and there is no turning back.

............

Before walking to Fengwu Mansion, Dong Huai raised his head and looked at the vermilion gate.

The eye-catching plaque hangs at the door, on which the three words "Fengwu Mansion" are strong and powerful, with a majestic atmosphere, there are two stone lions standing on both sides, one by one is majestic, looking directly at the person at the door, naturally showing a heroic atmosphere, enough to make anyone who dares to come here feel the sharp posture of its master.

"This time, I don't know what the other party's attitude is, so I hope everything goes well. ”

I don't know how long I stood there, Dong Huai only knew that the people who came to sell vegetables that morning had already finished buying vegetables, and in the restaurant next to it, there were also bursts of shouting, and the whole street was already bustling, dizzying.

Seeing that noon was about to pass in a blink of an eye, but the door was always closed, Dong Huai couldn't stand still, so he opened his mouth, and then plucked up the courage to step forward, wanting to discuss things with the master in it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I heard a "bang!", and the door suddenly opened.

"Tomorrow morning is here, who would have thought that you would wait until this time. It's better to come in quickly, or this Chinese food will be cold. ”

From the inner hall, a familiar voice came, it was Xiao Feng.

Hearing this, Dong Huai pursed his lips, and then opened his mouth and replied: "Since this is the case, then thank you Commander Xiao." ”

This time, although Dong Huai went again with the duty of being crowned king, it was even more possible to get the much-needed arms, and he didn't even have to pay the final payment, but he was not very happy in his heart, just because he failed in this round.

Failure, utterly!

Looking a little depressed, Dong Huai came to the inner hall, the same familiar people and faces, but they had a different experience.

Xiao Feng sat on the Taishi chair with a timid expression, and also held a pot of tea in her hand, since she came to this Lin'an City, she was infected with the habit of drinking tea, seeing Dong Huai's dejected appearance, she laughed unconsciously: "I don't know why Your Excellency came today?"

Regarding the matters discussed in the court, Xiao Feng is by no means without means, and has long been mixed with internal ghosts in order to further extract information.

This set, she has seen a lot of those Cold War spy films, and against the ministers of the Song Dynasty, she was naturally unceremonious, and directly used these methods.

"Commander Xiao. When did you come to Lin'an City?" Dong Huai was a little nervous, but he didn't dare to say what he said in his heart, so he had to change the topic.

"It was probably mid-March. And if you calculate the time, half a year has passed since I first came. Xiao Feng smiled and looked at Dong Huai with interest, with a natural attitude of scrutiny in his bright eyes.

Dong Huai said again: "Don't you want them these days? And the other day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I don't know how you are doing?"

"It's okay. It's just that my men are still waiting for news from me, waiting for me to tell them that I have become a prince. Xiao Feng smiled thickly, but as soon as the words changed, Dong Huai was stunned for a while, and he almost couldn't breathe.

"You already know?"

Dong Huai stroked his chest, and his eyes were full of complexity.

The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled: "Of course." After all, this Fengwu Mansion is only a few miles away from the Vertical Arch Palace, and it is naturally not difficult to know about the palace. ”

"And what do you think?"

Dong Huai saw that the other party knew the purpose of his trip, so he directly threw away the previous polite words and stared directly at Xiao Feng, wanting to find out what the other party was thinking.

Xiao Feng's eyes closed slightly, but he thought about it in his head, and then said, "Of course you can." After all, those guns are just scrapped and defective, so even if they are given to you, there is no problem. But you should know that after the first few deals, I am really disappointed in you, and I will only give you that batch of arms if I am crowned king first. Of course, in order to avoid embarrassing you, those backward tiger squat artillery in our army are also willing to send them to Er and others together, so that they can attack the Communist Party and resist the Tatars, how about it?"

"Really?"

Dong Huai was stunned for a while, but looked at Xiao Feng with a complicated expression.

He has not dealt with the woman in front of him, but until now he has never been able to understand the other party's mind.

"Of course. ”

Xiao Feng nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "After all, that batch of tiger squat cannons is already a little old, if it is melted and reforged, it is troublesome, it is better to send it to you directly." After all, according to your current situation, I am afraid that even artillery is quite short. Isn't it?"

Dong Huai smiled reluctantly, so he had to respond: "Then thank you Commander Xiao!"

Since the matter of sealing the king must have been decided, Zheng Qingzhi and others did not delay much, and quickly prepared many royal robes and royal seals, and selected a good and auspicious day, and directly presided over the king ceremony by Zhao Yun, and named it King Jin in the name of the place where he first started his army!

Among the many princes, Qin, Jin, Chu, and Qi are also the most honorable, after all, these four titles are the four most powerful countries in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the name of King Jin, it can be regarded as a tribute to Xiao Feng's own bravery.

Of course, since it is the king of Jin, then this ceremony of sealing the king cannot be too simple, if it is not for the urgency of the war and cannot be delayed, I am afraid that it will take at least a month to end, but even so, the complexity of the whole ceremony is beyond imagination.

On top of the matter of sealing the king, Xiao Feng was also generous, not only made up all the remaining 8,000 guns, but even handed over the remaining tiger squat guns and the rest of the unused guns to the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty. After obtaining this batch of munitions, the strength of the forbidden army naturally increased significantly, at least in the face of the Mongol army, which was already generally equipped with firearms, it was finally able to have some resistance ability.

Because of Xiao Feng's behavior, the Mongolian tribes have always been very concerned about the manufacture of firearms.

Its level is not only far beyond the level of firearms in the parallel world at this time, but also has been modified accordingly in order to match the fact that most of its troops are cavalry.

Of course, Mongolia's firearms manufacturing level is still one level lower than that of the Red Phoenix Army, but compared with the Song Dynasty, which was slow in efficiency and bureaucratic corruption, it still has many advantages over the level of weapons manufacturing in the military field.

After the completion of the crown, Xiao Feng also immediately returned to Chang'an City, prepared to cooperate with the actions of the Song Dynasty army, and began to dispatch troops to prepare to attack Shi Tianze.

And this time, it is no longer limited to the battle between the two armies, but a national war with a wider territory and a wider range of personnel.
