In fact, Ulutus's worries are not redundant either!

Among the people who were welcoming, spies from all sides were delivering information to their masters. The most tense among them were the Hanhous of Hebei East Road and Shandong East Road, which bordered Shandong Province.

The large-scale refugee wave not long ago also caused them to be troubled. Almost except for the main cities, they were all devastatingly plundered. The resulting population loss has led to barren land. Don’t count on the harvest in the first year of Ganwu.

During this period, Han Hou had the idea of ​​attacking Shandong Province. Changle in Weizhou, Anqiu in Mizhou, Feixian in Yizhou, Zouxian in Tengzhou, and local governments reported that there were bandits who had quite regular actions in the country.

According to the detailed investigation by the secret guards, these bandits were almost all those who had no money and food, and were assigned to come to Ming to build grass valleys.

For these people, the Western Army stationed in the local area attacked hard. One hit one, one hit one and one hit one, and sometimes they would chase them out of the country, which made those marquis dare not even make one more fart.

At the same time, those green forest heroes who were remotely controlled by secret guards on East and West Road in Shandong and East and West Road in Hebei were even more nervous to rage nearby prefectures and counties, so that these marquises only focused on maintaining local peace and had no time to find the chaos in the Ming Dynasty.

Given that these marquis attach great importance to their respective territories, these green forest heroes are all mobile warfare, often hovering back and forth at the junction of several states and prefectures. When they encounter large groups of soldiers, they quickly hide in the forest.

After playing tricks on local governments several times, local governments can't control them.

But this cannot erase the misconduct of the Marquis of the Celestial Court towards the Ming Kingdom. They knew that Ulutus was coming, and they were afraid that he would bring the central guards to trouble them.

After all, everyone is still from the same Khan family, and the other party is a prince personally named. According to their rank and level, they are short of Ulutus. If they are really punished by the other party, they will be in a congenital unfavorable situation.

After learning about this, Bolu, the son of Mu Huali, who was far away in the capital of Yan Dizhong, summoned troops again and stationed troops in Hejian Prefecture. The meaning of defense was particularly obvious.

Mu Huali, who was still leading troops to attack Yan'an Prefecture, temporarily stopped the offensive and waited and watched inexplicably. The emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Xun, breathed a sigh of relief. The Mongols were not so threatening, and the Jin Kingdom, which was as dangerous as if he was too tired, could survive for a longer period of time.

The Song State was relatively nervous! Although he had contacted the Ming State, his attitude was still quite friendly. However, Liaodong, which was dominated by the Ming State, had risen successively, and the Jin Dynasty suppressed the Song State's "Tai Sui" that had been fighting for hundreds of years. Now the Mongols' momentum is even more fierce than the Khitan and Jurchens, and the Song State is really afraid of the disaster of destroying the country again.

Moreover, the Song State has lost half of the Central Plains. If you retreat, you will have to wander on the sea. They are reluctant to give up the flower world in Jiangnan, otherwise how can they guarantee the extravagant life of the royal family of the Song State and the civil and military bureaucrats.

Zahar, the Minister of Rites who remained in Lin'an and acted as an envoy, was summoned by the Emperor of Song and the Right Prime Minister Shi Miyuan respectively. After clarifying that the Ming Dynasty's lord was only inspecting the local area and did not move troops, the Song Dynasty court was at ease.

However, in Chuzhou on Huainan West Road, five thousand defenders were immediately added. In addition, the new Chuzhou defense envoy Zhao Gong immediately sent gifts to the territory of Ming State to investigate the military trends of Ming State in the name of congratulating the king of Ming State on the Western Tour.

At this time, Jia She, the envoy of the Song State to the Ming State who was far away in the Ming State, finally sent the memorial to Lin'an, explaining the reason and intention of the Ming State's lord to travel west again. At the same time, he also suggested that the court send noble royal family members to the north to meet the Ming State's lord.

However, this move should not be too ostentatious, it is best to act in a low-key manner. At the end of the letter, there was also a sentence that was conveyed by the Privy Council of the Ming Dynasty, which was said to be ordered by the king Wulutus. As for the purpose, it was for the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and the further implementation of the peace talks between the four states of the Ming Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Jin and Xia Dynasty.

Previously, the four countries had signed preliminary cooperation intentions. However, the relationship between the Jin and Song dynasties could not be turned into jade and silk in a simple word. For example, during the Jin and Xia dynasties, the prefectures and counties in the Jin Kingdom occupied by the Xia Kingdom still did not return them. If they were paid, what price should the Jin Kingdom pay? Also, between the Jin and Song dynasties, the issue of annual monies is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. The Jin Kingdom was poor and had no underwear, so they naturally had a tight eye for annual monies. Seeing that the Jin Kingdom was half dead, it was obvious that they did not want to give it to them again. If this problem was not solved, the relationship between the two countries would not be truly improved.

Although the Ming Dynasty had few involvement with the Three Kingdoms, it was not without it. For example, the Shandong Province that now occupied was previously the Jingxi Road in the name of the Song Dynasty. Not to mention the Jin Dynasty, the identity of the Mongols was natural distrust.

Only the Xia and Ming countries have no territorial disputes, so it is easy to sit down and sign a contract. But the identity of the Mongolians is also a barrier to trust between the two countries.

Finally, after discussion, the Song State sent the prince, Duke Ji Guo, Zhao Rong, to the north. This was the decision made by the court officials headed by Prime Minister Shi Miyuan! The intention contained in this is self-evident.

Zhao Rong is the heir chosen by the current Song Dynasty emperor Zhao Kuo, but his relationship with Shi Miyuan is not good.

Shi Miyuan was not very sensible, so a risky thing like the mission to Ming Kingdom fell on Zhao Hong. If there was any accident or bad thing, he could also take the opportunity to abolish the status of Duke Zhao Hongji.

In this way, he can successfully support his heirs.

At the same time, it was not the only one who received the invitation.

The envoys of the Jin Kingdom and the envoys of the Xia Kingdom were invited to send their letters to the country, and they were asked to send royal families or court officials with high status to Shandong to discuss peace talks.

Ulutus intends to take this opportunity to further promote the establishment of the Anti-Mongolian Alliance. If other benefits can be gained, it would be better.

These are all private behaviors, and Ming Guo has made it clear that this matter is particularly cautious and must not reveal any news. Otherwise, if the Khan Court knows about it and becomes alert in advance, unpredictable consequences may occur.

Xia and Jin were eager to strengthen the anti-Mongolian forces, so they were naturally all right. The Song State had no immediate worries, but also long-term considerations. The lessons of the Jin State made the Song royal family and courtiers deeply understand it to the core, and naturally they did not want a strong enemy in the north that was far superior to the Liao and Jin dynasties.
