(The alliance insists on bubbling, and Shigoro must also insist on resisting it. The power outage was not available before, but it was written and uploaded. It was really depressing.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In 1130, at the end of December, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, the congratulatory envoys from the Song and Jin Dynasties came late.

It will be a month since Di Lie's wedding. If Di Lie beat another "big sniper" as accurately as the one in his hand, he could almost make a little Di Lie.

However, even though you are late for a long time, as the saying goes, there are many gifts, as long as the gifts are heavy, everything else is easy to say.

With the strength of Tianshu's power, the wedding gifts of Song and Jin countries were somewhat pleasing to the public, so there were so many gifts.

Di Lie's wedding, to a certain extent, was also the marriage of Zong Ji in Song State, so the congratulations in Song State meant a dowry. The customs of the Song Dynasty were completely different from today. The dowry of the woman was much higher than that of the man.

The dowry and dowry of officials and families often cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. It is a bit like today's Indian wedding customs. Women's dowry less and they can't get married, which is actually a gospel for men.

This is the case with the family of officials, so what about the royal family?

Thirty boxes of gold, silver and jade ornaments, 100,000 pieces of money, 100,000 pieces of silk, 100,000 carts of official porcelain, 100,000 kilograms of tribute tea in Jiangnan... The value of the items is almost equivalent to the Shaoxing peace agreement in another time and space, and the amount of tribute paid by Song to Jin (Song)

Every year, tribute to gold and silver, and each silk is 250,000 taels, 250,000 taels, 200,000 taels).

This is the ceremony of national marriage in the Song Dynasty.

In contrast, the gifts from the Jin Kingdom were much shabby: ten boxes of gold and silver jewelry, hundreds of good horses, two pairs of sea falcons, ten hu of northern pearls, hundreds of marten skins, and ten hundred ginseng plants in a century old.

No matter how many gifts are, Di Lie accepts them all with a smile.

The Jin Kingdom only cares about giving gifts. As for the envoy, it is enough to have Wuling Simou one. Wuling Simou has been in Chang'an for a long time and has gained a lot. He has long wanted to return to the Jin Kingdom. When the gift arrives, the delivery will be completed.

He immediately said goodbye to Di Lie and set off with Hong Hao.

On the Southern Song Dynasty, according to the Lin'an spies, the first major event in the court that the two emperor factions attended court almost every day was to discuss Zhao Jiu's positioning. Is it the Supreme Emperor or King Kang? In addition, it is necessary to discuss every major and large court discussion.

Fierce debate, things that were decided in one day are now delayed for ten days and half a month. It is common to discuss but not decide. The efficiency of the entire Southern Song court was dragged to an unbearable level.

Leaders of the two factions, such as Lu Yihao, Zhu Shengfei, Zhao Ding, etc., were worried and lamented that if this would last forever, the country would be in disarray, and the country would be in danger.

However, after lamenting, we still have to argue, and we still have to fight for it. We will also have to fight for it - when it comes to our wealth and future and the interests of our descendants, no one will give in, and it is even more impossible to let go.

This is the bad nature of people. Although everyone knows that this is of no use to the country and harms the country, instinctively tends to the latter when it comes to the option of harming oneself and benefiting oneself. How many people can sacrifice their lives for the country and constrain their lives in the world?

Even if there are people, they will not be above the temple, nor will they appear among the nobles who "civil officials love money, and military generals are afraid of death."

However, there are many big and small things to fight for a mess of the two emperor factions. The issue of marrying the dowry is surprisingly consistent, and the reason is also high-sounding: How can the dowry be so rude to marry the big country? The inner world needs to be, and the face needs to be even more important.

.

Di Lie knew that this generous dowry showed that the two emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty finally decided to hold on to the thigh of the Tianshu power. One side wanted to consolidate his position, the other side wanted to replace him. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the generals and generals were ambiguous and had good luck, and they dared not go easily.

In the case of muddy waters, the intervention of third-party forces is definitely the decisive force that influences the situation. Both Zhao Qi and Zhao Jiu urgently need to use this force, even if you know that this is tantamount to attracting a wolf into the house and drinking a dove to quench your thirst,

It's all you can do.

The sky is vast and the earth is great, and the throne is the greatest. Whether it is the son or the grandson, it must be the emperor!

It is far from enough to just pay a little dowry. Di Lie asked for more - but before that, he had to fulfill the agreement. If he couldn't do anything else, he would say nothing else.

It's in vain to be too much.

The envoy sent by the Southern Song Dynasty this time was Zhao Jing, the chief censor who had been promoted to Duke of the State. Needless to say, he must have been on behalf of the Emperor Xingyuan to negotiate terms. The deputy envoy of the congratulations was ordered by Di Lie.

A big surprise - a person who mentioned the Hubei Criminal Prison was named Wanqie.

When he first heard this name, Di Lie had no idea how to write it, and he could not overlap with his historical impression. When he saw the three words "Wanqie" on the name, he realized that history can really be a joke, the Southern Song Dynasty

The two groups of treacherous ministers (the first group was Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan) actually gathered together. Needless to say, this person was naturally the representative of Zhao Jiu to negotiate terms.

When Di Lie was curious, he summoned Wan Qi Cheng, but he saw that this person was a tall and thin man over 50 years old. He had a very elegant appearance and could not see any of the evil spirits that were notoriously summoned by later generations. But thinking about the previous report from the Secret Service

According to the information, during the Zhenghe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, this person first served as a professor in Xiangzhou and Yingchang Prefecture, and later served as an editor of the Privy Council, an editor of the Shangshu Bi Department, and a member of the Shangshu Department. He is definitely a well-educated scholar.

How could there be a treacherous and treacherous label for a deer?

Wanqi is the one who is notorious because he follows Qin Hui and frames Yue Fei. Now he has no chance to harm Yue Fei, but he is still in love with Qin Hui. Of course, Di Lie will not care about this matter, and the enemy country is a treacherous. This is

What a good thing! When will the Southern Song Dynasty be unified, it will not be too late to deal with these clowns.

That night, Di Lie summoned the Southern Song Dynasty's chief and deputy envoys to congratulate the marriage, and the two envoys took out real "congratulations" at this time. The Tianshu forces previously asked the Southern Song Dynasty to provide the requirements for the Northern Expedition, including food, grass, military weapons, service and military pay.

The first batch has been sent to Yangzhou and delivered to the Tianbo Division headquarters stationed in Yangzhou.

This real gift is the receipt signed by Zhang Rong, the commander of Tianbo Division.

The receipts provided by the two envoys were similar, with a small number of differences, including 200,000 hu of grain, rice, beans, 120,000 hu of money, 5,000 saddles, armor, 5,000 weapons, bows and crossbows, and cattle, mules, and animal power.

Twenty thousand heads, three thousand servants... The above is one-third of the agreement support, and the remaining two-thirds will be delivered after the spring next year.

These materials and manpower were loaded on cargo ships, loading more than 400 ships, and then crossed the Yangtze River and arrived in Yangzhou. After Zhang Rong signed for them, he did not unload the people and goods at all, and directly sent troops to the ship to guard them.

Ten warships led and cut off the rear, drove out of the Yangtze River, headed north from the sea route, and transported to Cangzhou and headed straight to the front line.

Of course, these ships were not forcibly taken, but rented. Long Xu also promised the ship owner on behalf of the Tianzhu Army that when he arrived at the land, he could buy fur, pearls, jade, horses and other items in the north to ensure that he returned home with a full load. In this way, Both sides were very happy, only the Southern Song court was depressed. But there was no way. Whether from the agreement, morality, or even the hope that the Tianshu forces would fight against the Jin Kingdom to lose both sides, these materials had to be given.

Regarding the transportation of materials in the north, the messenger of Tianbo, who came to report to the marriage delegation, confirmed that Di Lie expressed satisfaction.

Zhao Jing was full of energy when he was traveling west. He thought that he was now a Duke of the State and was also a third-rank Censor, and was a senior official of the imperial court. This time he was on an envoy, he was a grand return, so he could show his face. Even if it was That so-called King Hua should be a little polite to himself.

Unexpectedly, when I saw Di Lie, I couldn't see how polite the other party was. I waved to myself as I used to: "Please ask the Duke of Yong'an County... Oh, it's Duke, please come close to me. .”

It is really indignant to be so arrogant and rude. It is tolerant, but who is unbearable - hum, a little unbearable will cause chaos, just for the sake of the emperor's affairs, let this beast be more arrogant. Zhao Jing gave him a chance q masturbates mentally, and while approaching, he meets. Then he can't wait to propose various requirements such as buying firearms, hiring military craftsmen, asking Tianzhu Army to train instructors, and helping to form firearm troops.

Di Lie's reply was that the Tianzhu Army was about to fight the Northern Expedition, and it was necessary to stockpile a large amount of firearms and gunpowder. The matter of buying firearms can only be discussed after the Northern Expedition is over. Since firearms cannot be sold for the time being, the military craftsmen, instructors, and other firearms will be formed. Naturally, There is no way to talk about it.

Zhao Jing traveled all the way and gave him one generous gift after another, but only got an ambiguous reply. However, at least the other party did not refuse at all, and it was hopeful at all.

Zhao Jing retreated and replaced Wan Qisheng. The old guy shook his tongue and bulged his lips, and praised Di Lie and Tian Zhu Army for a lot, and then carefully wrote his own request: "King Kang hopes to get help from Tianbo's army. If you can accomplish great things, you must use the monthly chunks of taxes in the south of the Yangtze River (a tax that was ordered by the Southern Song Dynasty to release monthly for military expenditures), and the chunks of the account (a tax collected by various groups in the southeast of the Southern Song Dynasty for military purposes) Report to you.”

This bonus is really not small, no less than tens of millions of dollars. Zhao Jiu has really invested a lot of money with such conditions.

From the requests made by these two envoys, we can see that Zhao Qi and Zhao Jiu's focus is different: Zhao Qi has lived in Tianshu City for a long time and is very clear about the power of the musket and the combat power of the Tianzhu Army, so he thought To form the same army; Zhao Jiu had only seen the power of the Tianbo Division, but he didn't know why it was so powerful. He only wanted to get the arm help of this army, so the request was more direct.

Di Lie's reply was similar. The Northern Expedition was about to be imminent, and Tianbo's army would also participate in the war. He would not participate in the internal affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty for the time being. Everything must be discussed after the Northern Expedition was over. Although Wan Qien was not satisfied with this reply, his reasons were high-sounding, so it was really hard to say. Fortunately, the other party did not refuse at all, so there was room for negotiation on this matter, so I could still get a job after I went back.

Di Lie is not perfunctory. Tianbo's army will really participate in the Northern Expedition.

How could Di Lie, who was born in the Marine Corps, ignore the powerful weapon of landing in combat? The 12 Youyun states, right? Sixty thousand defenders, right? Very good, you just stand there stupidly." "Isn't the defense line awesome enough? Compared with the twelve states of Youyun, nothing is wrong, but it turns out to be a decoration?

The Jurchens probably won’t even dream of the beach landing war even if they have a dream. This time, these guys who are invincible and brave on the water will be able to see it.

One year, after the Lantern Festival, Di Lie bid farewell to the concubines and rushed to the front line of Zhuozhou.

At the same time, the Tianbo Division in Yangzhou to the east had escorted the second batch of support materials and service forces of the Southern Song Dynasty, and officially headed north to participate in the Northern Expedition.

Five Western Army brigades on Qinfeng Road to the west have been formed and are working together with the Fifth Reorganized Division of the Tianzhu Army. Training is expected to be completed in March and will be headed to the front line of Yanmen in Hedong.

Within the Tianshu power, the grain collection of various prefectures and counties has been completed and is being continuously transported to Hebei and Hedong.

The replenishment of the Punishment Army, and the reorganized Fushan Brigade, also divided its troops to station in Hebei, and the guards were concentrated in the grain, fodder and supplies in the warehouses of Zhending, Zhongshan and Hejian, to ensure that the Northern Expedition Army had no worries.

It is March, everything is ready, I just need excuses!

That's right, it's just an excuse. The so-called master is famous. When the Jin army invaded Song twice, there was a high-sounding excuse for each time. The first was the Zhang Jue incident; the second was the Xiao Zhonggong's secret report.

Whether it is ancient, modern, civilized, or barbarians, they all know that if you want to hit people, you must occupy the commanding heights of morality. As for peace treaties, they are used from the day they are signed.

Torn.

If you make excuses to beat people, it will always be a game that can only be played by strong people. If the Jin Kingdom is strong, it can play like this; now, if the Tianzhu Army is strong, it will have to play back.

Di Lie handed over the task of "everyone comes to find trouble" to Ma Kuo, who was on the Jin Dynasty's mission.
