Chapter 183: Shocked Tiger Makes Trouble in Beijing
As night fell, the temperature was extremely low, probably only seven or eight degrees above zero.
The sky is full of stars and the night is as cool as water.
A dozen members of the Song Dynasty envoy headed by Ma Kuo were wrapped in thick cloaks and entered Wang Lin's envoy's tent. Their faces were not very good-looking.
In fact, everyone knows that this trip to the Jin Kingdom to negotiate and conclude an alliance with the Jin people is not a good job.
The thankless job is secondly. If you accidentally offend the tyrannical Jin man with a word, you might become a prisoner. Being detained for a year and a half is normal.
The further they arrived in Beijing, the more uneasy they felt.
Ma Kuo bowed and said, "Tomorrow the Jin people will go to Beijing to see the Emperor of Jin. I wonder if the envoy has any other instructions?"
As deputy envoys, Ma Kuo and others were responsible for specific negotiations with Jin officials.
The core contents of the Song Dynasty's "State Book" and "Shimu" are that not one of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures can be left behind, and the Song Dynasty must recover all of them, including Pingzhou, Yuguan and other places.
Among them, Xijing and its nearby states were still to be taken back by the Song Dynasty after the Liao Dynasty was destroyed.
The two documents made it clear and unambiguous.
But Ma Kuo knew very well that these Jin people would definitely not agree.
Zhao Liangsi's previous mission had already shown the attitude of the Song Dynasty, and the fact that the Jin people detained Zhao Liangsi in Shangjing speaks for itself.
Wang Lin smiled calmly and said, "Colleagues, please sit down and talk."
"Brother Ma, there is no need to be anxious. Just follow our agreement and negotiate slowly with the Jin people."
Wang Lin waved his hand and said: "With the eloquence of Brother Ma and all of you, I think the Jin people will eventually agree to most of my requests in the Song Dynasty's ceremonial letter... there should be no problem."
"However, even if the Jin people agree to give the Sixteen States of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty, so what?"
Wang Lin changed his voice and said calmly: "Have you ever thought that after the Jin people destroyed the Liao Dynasty, their power doubled and the national power surged several times. By then, will the Jin people keep their promises and fulfill their agreements?"
Everyone was stunned, wondering what Wang Lin meant when he mentioned this at this moment.
Besides, their mission is to reach a covenant. As for whether the covenant can be fulfilled in the future, they have not considered so much.
"In the current situation, the Jin is stronger than the Liao, and the national strength of the Song Dynasty is barely equal to that of the Liao. If once the Liao is destroyed, the natural barrier between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom will be lost. Then, once the Jin people attack the Song Dynasty in a large scale,
What should I do if I wait?!"
Everyone looked at each other, and Ma Kuo sighed: "Your Majesty, if we don't make an alliance with Jin, when will the Song Dynasty be able to take back the old place of Yanyun?"
Wang Lin's expression remained unchanged, but he was sneering in his heart. He wanted to borrow the gold man's hand to take back his old place. Isn't this seeking the skin of a tiger?
Facts have proved that the main reason why the Song-Jin alliance was possible was that the Jin people did not know much about the strength of the Song state.
Once the Jin people understood the reality of the Song Dynasty, Wang Lin could only say hehe.
Therefore, Wang Lin still hoped in his heart that the Jin people could refuse Song's request. It would be better to put forward some more harsh conditions that Zhao Ji would not be able to accept.
Talking like this can delay the matter for a year or two.
His purpose in coming to Jin as an envoy was completely different from that of Ma Kuo and others.
In a word, the procrastination trick works every time.
"Brother Ma, I'm afraid that if we form an alliance with Jin, we won't be able to take back Yanyun's old place!"
Wang Lin stood up and said with a chuckle: "Tomorrow the Jin people will go to Beijing. I hope you will act with caution, but don't be afraid, lest you lose our Song Dynasty!"
Everyone bowed and agreed, but a trace of complicated emotions flashed across Ma Kuan's eyes.
He saw that Wang Lin was actually not interested in the so-called Song-Jin alliance.
He had a vague feeling that Wang Lin might cause an earth-shattering incident in Beijing this time.
…
Noon the next day.
The red sun shone over the entire Shangjing, the desolate horn horns whined, the city gate of Shangjing was opened, and two lines of Jin cavalry lined up with swords in hand. As a national gift to welcome the Song envoy, Nianhan personally accompanied them.
In fact, it was more intimidation than courtesy, and everyone understood it tacitly.
According to the rules of the Jin people, Wang Lin, as an envoy, can bring five hundred guards into the city.
However, Wang Lin did not do that. In his opinion, there was basically no difference between a few hundred people and a few people when entering a wolf's den surrounded by thousands of troops.
So he only brought Wu Song, Shi Jin, Li Kui and Murong Wan'er who was disguised as a man as his bodyguards.
Yan Qing stayed in the camp to clean up the Tiger Guards, just in case.
The tough Jin soldiers looked fiercely, and of course they were also curious. The fact that Wang Lin defeated Nianhan in one round in Suzhou still spread quietly among the Jin army. Many Jin soldiers were very concerned about this envoy of the Song Dynasty.
.
Wang Lin rode side by side with Nian Han on horseback. Nian Han saw that Wang Lin was calm and unhurried, so he couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is really brave. That Zhao Liangsi, Mr. Zhao, was so frightened that he could not recover for several days."
Wang Lin remained silent.
He did not want to criticize his compatriots in front of the Jin people.
In fact, he didn't have a good impression of Zhao Liangsi, the initiator of the national policy of the Song-Jin Alliance.
This man was originally a Han Chinese born in the Liao region. After returning to the Song Dynasty, he tried every possible means to persuade Zhao and Song Dynasties to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. If he had no selfish motives at all, Wang Lin would not believe him.
It's true to make friends with distant people and attack with close friends, but the key to the problem is that you, Zhao Liangsi, don't understand how sparse the army and horses of the Song Dynasty are.
Not to mention that if you don't fight in front of the Jin soldiers, you will collapse. Even if you face the Khitan wolf cavalry, your combat power will be greatly reduced.
Wang Lin was leading the envoy into the city when he suddenly heard the low roar of a tiger coming from behind.
The officials of the mission were so frightened that they turned around and saw a group of golden soldiers driving two caged cars. Inside the cars were two large and colorful tigers.
This is a Siberian tiger in its prime.
Nian Han glanced at the members of the Song Dynasty envoy, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, and said to Wang Lin: "Envoy, these are the two sacred tigers that our emperor captured during the hunt. They are worthy of being the sacred beasts of our country. When they enter the city this time,
It has disturbed everyone in the envoy."
Wang Lin sneered and said nothing.
Shangjing is located on the edge of the mountains in the north, and there must be many tigers in the mountains and forests. The Jin people hunted tigers, and he believed it.
But in front of the envoys of the Song Dynasty, two tigers were brought out to show off. If it was accidental or coincidental, no fool would believe it.
But the effect is obvious.
Except for Ma Kuo, all the civil servants in the mission could hardly stand still and were trembling all over. They were really unbearable.
What's so scary about a tiger in a cage? It's not even as scary as a child in future generations.
Wang Lin sighed secretly.
Wang Lin looked at the cage containing the tiger from his horse.
He slaughtered three tigers one after another and drank countless tiger blood. The invisible murderous aura in his body could not be felt by others, but these two tigers were a warning sign. They arched their backs in the cage and raised their long iron rod-like tails.
.
There was even a low roar in his mouth, a demonstration.
"The two kittens are really interesting!"
Wang Lin laughed loudly and galloped into the city. He used some tiger roaring skills in his laughter, but no one noticed it. Only the two beasts roared louder and began to hit the cage car with all their strength.
The escorting Jin soldiers were startled and began to threaten the tigers with swords and guns. However, the two tigers were enraged by Wang Lin's tiger roar, which was equivalent to being frightened and savage. The bestiality in their bones was unleashed, and their strength was doubled. After a while,
, the two frightened tigers smashed the cage car to pieces, and the tigers jumped down.
"Ouch!" The shrill tiger roar shook the heaven and the earth, and two colorful tigers rushed into Shangjing like lightning. The golden people in the city were terrified and fled in all directions.
Wang Lin sneered at the corner of his mouth and said in his heart, "I want you to pretend. Pretend to death. You are so stupid."
