Chapter 270 Song Jinming friendly peace talks
At the end of September, the day before the founding ceremony.
After an autumn rain, the temperature in Shangjing dropped again. However, with the arrival of the ceremony, the enthusiasm of the people in Shangjing greatly diluted the coolness in the air. Major workshops, schools and non-essential government offices also received notices to magnify holidays.
The celebration day is the main one, each day, each with three days off. This is comparable to the holiday of the New Year, so the major stores and shops that received the news in advance are also ready to prepare the stock.
Just waited for the last few days of the big holiday and sold it hard.
Dong You walked on the crowded street and felt the festive atmosphere of Shangjing in depth. He was an envoy of the Jin Kingdom. He changed from an envoy of the Red Coat Army to an envoy of the Jin Kingdom, but he just changed his clothes and changed his official imperial edicts.
When I came to the north city of the outer city, the atmosphere here was obviously not as lively as the south street. However, due to the influence of the festival, some people were still playing on the street. As an old man who originally lived in Yidu, he knew that this north city had a elegant name, that is, Shandong New City.
Because most of the people living here are wealthy families moved from Shandong. Influenced by the region, their speech, customs and other people are obviously different from those of other people in Shangjing City, so soon there was another city.
Of course, he did not walk around here. Instead, he went straight to an ordinary house with no outstanding appearance. The plaque on it said 'Pu Mansion'
Dongdong... I knocked on the door, and after a long time inside, an old face popped out.
"Who are you looking for?" the old man with a pleated face asked vigilantly.
"I'm sorry, does Pu Wan live here?" Dong You took out a few gold coins from his sleeve and shook it in front of the old man.
"It's right, but who are you from him?" Although the old man was moved by Jin Yuan, his vigilance still did not completely fade away.
"It was Shi Ma Qianhu who asked me to come. This is his handwritten letter and the pass token of the secret guard." Dong You took out the key things and after the old man checked it, Dong You stuffed the gold yuan into his hand again. The old man did not refuse and opened a crack in the door and let him in.
He saw a row of guards with knives standing inside the door, each of whom looked solemn, giving people the feeling that they had seen blood on their hands.
"Pu Wan is inside. Do you want me to take you there?" After taking the benefits, the old man's expression eased a lot, and he couldn't help but say a little gentle.
"Just let ordinary servants take me there, without bothering you personally."
"Okay!" The old man casually called a servant over. The other party immediately waited respectfully in front of the old man and listened: "Take this master to see that old man! Remember not to let him hurt people with dirty things."
After explaining, the servant took Dong You into the room.
After turning around two doors, a locked room appeared in front of him. The servant stepped forward and opened the door lock, and then asked Dong You to wait outside for a while. A thumping sound came from inside, and then the servants held a pile of broken dishes.
"This man, the old guy in the room has a strong temper. Although he has used iron ropes to bind his hands and feet, you still have to be careful to stand far away from him."
Dong Yougong bowed his hand to express his gratitude and injured two copper coins to the servant before entering the room.
A foul smell unique to the hut immediately poured into his breath, and the room was in a mess and the windows were also booked with wooden boards. A few rays of sunlight shone in from the gaps of the wooden boards, bringing a little light to the room.
A man with a disheveled head and a dirty dress could no longer be seen on his original color. Four iron chains tied up his hands and feet, and the ground was covered with hay, and some yellow and black pieces of supplies were scattered among the hay. White and black insects flew around the dirt, making people disgusted.
"Pu Xian Wannu?" Dong You asked tentatively.
Once an important official of the Great Jin Kingdom took the emperor's order and pacified Liaodong. However, after his defeat, he turned against the Mongols and established the Great Zhen Kingdom. This ruined the reputation of the Jin Kingdom in Liaodong so that it was not left at all, so the Jin Kingdom was full of hatred for it.
This time, Puxian Wannu will also be an important transaction of "commodities".
Maybe it was because I hadn't heard someone call their names for a long time, or maybe my head and ears were not as good as before. This former king of the Great True Kingdom was still leaning in the corner, not even moving his toes.
Dong You felt that he couldn't hold on his face, so he raised his voice and said, "Pu Xian Wannu, I came to take you back to Nanjing by the order of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom."
"Nanjing City?" Pu Xianwannu hadn't heard the name of this city for a long time. Especially after Ulutus changed its name to Tumen City, Nanjing City became a waste like Dongzhen Kingdom, completely buried in the pile of history.
"Yes, it's Nanjing City. From the day you vain your care of your holy ethics and rebelled in Liaodong, you never thought there would be this day?"
As the entire Jin Dynasty was declining, being able to bring Pu Xian Wannu back to kill and apologize could also increase the reputation of the Jin Dynasty court. At the same time, let those court officials who were half-hearted know that even if they betray the court, they would still be severely punished by the court one day.
As for how to capture Pucha Wannu, it depends on how the Jin court promoted it. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty would not deliberately reveal that Pucha Wannu was "traded" and it was a gift from the Jin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.
"Jin--Jin Kingdom?" Pu Xianwannu opened his turbid eyes and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha... Is the weak Jin still there? That old emperor, I'm afraid he will soon end up in the same situation as me?"
"Hmph! The rebels dare to show off their evil spirits. The Jin Kingdom lost one after another on the battlefield, but now the Jin Kingdom has become a good friend of the Ming Kingdom. I believe that with the strong support of the Ming Kingdom's firearms, you will eventually be able to restore the territory of the northern country. Unfortunately, you will never see your situation." Dong Youyi refuted it righteously, but he welcomed Pu Xian Wannu's louder ridicule.
Suddenly, Pu Xianwannu grabbed the yellow dirt on the ground with one hand. The sound of iron chains also echoed crisply.
Remembering the servant’s reminder, Dong You realized that it was not good. He immediately turned around and ran out of the door, and then heard a click of a yellow dirt that just hit the door frame of his body.
This made Dong You curse again a few more times before leaving with a little relief. The reason why he came here in person was to confirm whether Pu Xian Wannu was really alive. Now that he still has the strength to throw things, he must be able to follow him back to the Jin Kingdom.
As a surrendered minister, it is a great achievement to be able to bring back such a rebel general and be punished.
After returning to the Jin envoy's mansion in the inner city, a follower immediately reported to him: "Sir, the envoy of Jia from the Song State is here."
Since the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties began in the first year of Xingding, the situation of the Jin Kingdom has become increasingly difficult. The north has continued to fight with Mongolia and Xia Kingdom, and the war with the Song Kingdom in the south has been smooth in the early stages, but it was driven out of the Song territory soon. The two sides fought back and forth on the border, and the killing was very lively.
Previously, it was a very important input for the Jin Kingdom - the annual tribute, and it was directly stopped due to the war between the Song and Jin Kingdom. It can be said that the Jin Kingdom is very difficult now.
Similarly, this lasted for several years and had no more gains, which was not so good for Song State. Therefore, Song State was willing to truce! Even if it was not a permanent truce, it would be enough to greatly alleviate the tight supply of money and food in the court.
So with the help of the Ming Dynasty, the envoys of the Song and Jin countries were finally willing to engage in intentional contact on the territory of the third country. Although the final armistice agreement was definitely not allowed to be decided, the early contact was also necessary and rewarded.
Moreover, Dong You's mission was not only a peace talk with the State of Song, but also an important peace talks in the northwest. In the case of continued enemies, the court officials of the State of Jin also realized the dangerous situation of enemies on all sides.
Of course, I am very willing to have the opportunity to resolve it.
Another important reason is that Mingguo secretly supported the ceasefire between the Song, Jin, Jin and Xia countries. In this way, the Mongolian Khanate's intentional trouble and spies were avoided.
"Okay, you guys will serve you first. I will take a shower and change my clothes and go to see the guests." Dong You felt smelly on his body. He couldn't wait to take a shower when he returned to the Jin Dynasty Embassy Hall. The fragrant soap felt extremely good when he used it on his body. After Hui Meiji's service, he changed into clean clothes, and he felt a little distracted.
If I hadn't thought that the main business was important, I would have discussed other things with Mei Ji Yunyu first.
When I came to the flower hall like this, Jia She was waiting for more than the other person.
"Mr. Wang, Envoy Jia, you are here, so you will be so glorious in the mansion!" Dong You smiled and bowed his hand and said with a flat tribute.
"You're welcome! You're welcome!" Wang Wentong said, and said again: "I'll come without invitation, so I'll ask Envoy Dong not to complain."
Dong You gave in a few more words to him before returning to the important matter: "The emperor and all the court officials of our country said that the Jin and Song countries have always been close nephews. A few years ago, they had a war due to a little misunderstanding. Now they have fought on the border for so many years, which is quite unfavorable to both of us. Moreover, there is also a Mongolian Khanate in the north. Once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, it will definitely sweep across the south of the Yangtze River with the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Therefore, I specially asked me to take advantage of this mission to discuss with the Song envoy. If we can make a standstill, our Great Jin will be willing to block the rock of the Mongolian Khanate. As long as our Great Jin exists for a day, the Khanate will definitely not dare to go south."
"Although the Ming Dynasty and the Khanate came from the same source, the national conditions were different. With the Shandong province as a barrier, the Khanate would not be allowed to use the way to attack the Great Jin and the Great Song Youguo." Wang Wentong and other Dong Youguo finished speaking, and immediately added.
Chapter completed!
