The Jin envoys finally escaped from the siege of the old Jurchens of Wendu tribes in Zengtou City. After running all the way to Dengzhou, they boarded the boat and sailed to the sea. Wanyan Zongyu was truly relieved.
But the tone was too relaxed too early. Soon, the ship Wanyan Zong was riding encountered a storm. In order to reduce the weight of the ship, all the things in the cabin, regardless of their value, were thrown into the sea.
When he succeeded, the storm suddenly passed. At this time, Wanyan Zongyong couldn't help but cry without tears. It turned out that the bottom of the cabin was dirty and wet, and Wanyan Zongyong put all the debris on the boat on the cabin.
Then he placed the national gift sent back by the Federation of China to Wanyan Aguda on it. He thought it was to prevent moisture and mildew, but when the storm came, the national gift was thrown into the sea, but there were a lot of debris on the ship.
When Dengzhou sea ships sailed to the northern Jin Kingdom with frustrated Jurchens, the Liao Dynasty envoy led by Yelu Yuji and the Chinese Federation recruited envoys with Cheng Wanli had also left Liangshan
, and arrived at Waqiao Pass, the border between the two countries.
Further north of Waqiao Pass is the boundary of the Liao Kingdom. There are many rivers, ponds, ponds, so the envoys cross the bridge and take a boat. For the Liao people who are used to driving with one horse, such a struggle is simply
A kind of torture.
Cheng Wanli was very excited. When he had time to take the boat, he saw Yelu Yu: "I saw the general, do you know that there was no such lake here?"
Yelu Yu was looking around, but he saw the vast smoke and waves, the endless water and the sky, the saplings and peppercorns were planted quietly, which was a truly wonderful scenery! Hearing Cheng Wanli's words, he couldn't help but become curious: "Is such a scenery not born naturally?
Is it?"
Cheng Wanli shook his head and said, "Although nature is wonderful, human power can sometimes be crafted. The scenery here belongs to this!" As he said, he revealed a past story as if he had known it.
It turned out that the area on the north side of Waqiao Pass and the Liao Kingdom had always had no dangerous Guanhe River for defense. Therefore, when the commander of the Song Liuzhai He Chengju was stationed in Waqiao Pass, he began to propose to use low-lying places to store water as a barrier.
He originally wanted to go to inspect the terrain himself, but was worried that the intention would be discovered by the Liao Kingdom, so he came up with a plan. In the following days, He Chengju always held a wine party with his staff, took a boat to enjoy the Hokkien flowers, and wrote
Dozens of poems "Song of the Lilac Flowers" were sang poems and lyrics from the guests on the seat, and they were painted into pictures, which was very controversial and made a huge noise.
The news came to Liao. The people of Liao laughed at the Han people's stupidity, did not practice military training, but only knew how to be romantic. So when He Chengju later developed the project and dug a river pond to build a dam to store water and plant Polygonum flowers, the people of Liao were all beside him.
Look at jokes, there is no interest in hindering the enemy.
During the Qingli period, the eunuch Yang Huaimin continued his predecessors' career, and the Ligus Flower Project became bigger and bigger. By the time of Xining period, the reservoirs such as Xu Village and Liuzhuang had been dug, attracting Xu River, Bao River, Shahe River, and Tang.
The rivers and other rivers, as well as the water sources called Monkey Spring, Jijiquan, Wuyanquan, etc., are connected to the Hutuo River, Zhanghe River, Qihe River, Yishui, Baishui and Yellow River to the east. The Liao people are now
Look, starting from Shen Yuanli in the northwest of Baozhou, going east to Niguhaikou in Cangzhou, entering the sea, almost 800 miles, it has become the king of Fengyang Ze Kingdom, with the widest water surface reaching 60 miles!
The Liao people were stunned. If they went to war with the Song Dynasty again, their cavalry would have to learn to swim in armed ways when they invaded the south.
Cheng Wanli just heard this story from Ximen Qing not long ago. At this moment, he was selling it in front of Yelu Yuji, and he was very comfortable. He glanced at Yelu Yuji and said, "I think of my ancestors from afar,
If a strong enemy and tiger waiter have achieved such a great scenery, and as the key to the mountains and rivers, we will be praised as wise people with such talent, isn’t it okay for our younger generations to praise them as wise people?”
Yelu Yujian understood and said, "Mr. Cheng Wanli started to challenge himself again." These days, the two of them walked together, and they had many confrontations between words. You praise the Central Plains, I praise the Khitan, and I actively strive to increase my ambitions."
, rack your brains to destroy the other party's might and fight endlessly.
Now Cheng Wanli is going to harass himself even to enjoy the scenery. Yelu Yu is so angry that he hears that Cheng Wanli's rat is on the scale plate - claiming to praise himself, so he sneered: "In order to achieve this country of greatness, I don't know
How much land has been occupied and how much income from border food and grass has been reduced every year - the king who is kind and righteous and loving the people will not be like this!"
Cheng Wanli heard this, but smiled slightly and said, "I saw that although the general is kind, his knowledge is poor. It is important to know that in Shenzhou, Jizhou, Cangzhou, and Yingzhou, there are only the alluvial Yellow River, Hutuo River and Zhang River.
Only the place can become a good land. The place where the river cannot reach is all saline-alkali land and crops cannot be grown. In the past, refugees gathered here, who make a living by scraping alkaline earth and boiling salt. They repeatedly violated the ban on governments and sometimes even gathered to rob.
It became a trouble for the people. Since this place became a water town, there has been no ban on boiling salt. The production of fish, crabs, water chestnuts, reeds and other products in the water can all rely on it openly, and it is still for the benefit of
——Corrupt officials have built up land for personal gain; water is blocked, but it is for national benefit. The difference between good and bad government is all in this way. The country is complete and the people are favored, so why is it not be kind, righteous and loving the people?"
Yelu Yu heard this and couldn't tell her for a moment, so she sarcastically said, "What a benevolent, righteous, loving the people! It's a pity that such a benevolent, righteous, loving the people was overturned by a group of refugees, which made you, Lord Cheng, too.
I have to be a traitor—ah! I think of it and make people sigh in the wind!"
After saying that, Yelu Yujiu laughed loudly, and glanced at Cheng Wanli with pride.
Cheng Wanli listened, but he remained silent and sighed quietly: "Oh! Parents work hard, and their children and grandchildren are incompetent! Therefore, the Song and Daliao are all like this!"
Yelu Yuji's laughter came to an abrupt end - Cheng Wanli's words were as light as four ounces of cotton, but a golden cudgel hit the head of the Liao emperor Yelu Yanxi. Yelu Yuji could still laugh, but there was a ghost
Woolen cloth!
The two of them were fighting all the way, and their words were intense, and they all pretended to be idle, but when they were angry, they couldn't help but appreciate each other, and their personal relationship became close because of this.
On this day, we finally entered the border of Liao. The Liao Kingdom had already received the report and the officials responsible for the reception came to welcome him. After checking the number of Chinese Federation envoys, the envoy greeted him with a smile and welcomed Cheng Wanli and his group into Liao.
Domestic.
What made Cheng Wanli frown was that if these people were greeted, they actually pulled a big coffin behind the car sedan he was in, which made people feel scared.
Yelu Yujian looked at the appearance and then said to Cheng Wanli with pride: "Don't be surprised by Lord Cheng. We have prepared this coffin with great intention!" As he said that, Yelu Yujian was also very kind.
As many families have learned, I told Cheng Wanli about the story.
It turned out that during the Tiansheng period of the Song Dynasty, a censor named Zhang Pin was sent to the Liao Kingdom to envoy the Liao Kingdom. As a result, Zhang Da's mission was miserable and died in the territory of the Liao Kingdom.
You should know that in the Liao Dynasty, there is no coffin when a person dies. He will first place the body on a mountain tree, and then collect the bones and burn them three years later. He also drinks wine and wishes.
: "In winter, eat to the sun. If I hunt, I will gain more pigs and deer."
If the surplus value is exploited in this way, if it is a ghost of the Han people, these unfilial descendants must not be allowed to eat during the winter months and lose their arrows when hunting.
Of course, there are also people from Liao who pay attention to the qualities. Those emperors and nobles must build coffins and tombs to make themselves feel more comfortable even if they die. However, these people are the upper class, and their number is too small, so it is impossible for people to go in large quantities every day.
Death - although this is the simple wish of the people, unfortunately it cannot be met - so the market demand for funerals is not strong, so when Ambassador Zhang Pinzhang died, the huge Liao Kingdom was shattered three feet into the ground, but it could not be turned over.
A coffin was released. Most of the Liao Kingdom were grasslands. If you wanted to cut down a tree and make it, you could not find the object of sawing it down. Poor Ambassador Zhang Pinzhang was punished for his great crime. His body was transported straight into Fanyang.
Barring to settle.
The lessons of this stinky street were deeply absorbed by the people of Liao. From then on, the Liao Kingdom has prepared a batch of painted coffins with silver jewelry. Whenever an envoy from the Southern Dynasty entered the country, the coffin would follow the envoys conscientiously.
What happened? Once you die, you can wear it while it is hot. You can truly prepare for it. It can be called an ancient five-star public tourism service. From then on, this fine tradition of representing the hospitality of the people of Liao, has been like this for generations.
Leave it and passed it down.
Cheng Wanli could only smile bitterly when he heard this. The people of Liao knew that the Han people were taboo about this thing, but they still wanted to carry it behind you and swagger through the market! So Cheng Wanli secretly gritted his teeth - he would never die in the territory of Liao, and would never be involved in Liao.
This coffin is cheap! If you really want to die, you have to hold your breath and return to the Federation of China again! If you save your energy and integrity, you will be honest!
Fortunately, Cheng Wanli has never had the opportunity to hold his breath, which is a rare lucky thing. In a lucky car sedan, Cheng Wanli and his group passed Baigou, crossed Zhuozhou, and rested at Lugou Bridge.
After a night, Cheng Wanli led the Chinese Federation envoys to burn incense and worship under the morning moon in Lugou, and then passed by Yanyun and arrived at Kyoto of Liao Kingdom.
Looking up at the majestic city in front of him, Cheng Wanli's thoughts were rolling, and he couldn't help but think of Ximen Qing's advice before the envoy. Cheng Wanli secretly made a vow in his heart: "Don't worry, Wang Lin, Wanli must succeed when he goes here!"
At the same time, among the Chinese Federation's envoys, there was also a man looking at the capital of Liao Kingdom and showing a cold smile: "Khitan! I, Ma Zhi, are back!" This is exactly:
A country's capital is welcoming the rain, and a new chapter is written in the story of Qianqiu. But I don't know what happens next, so I'll listen to the next chapter.
