"Quick! Write to Kyoto immediately! Quick! Let Guan Bai and the Taizheng Minister dispatch troops to support!"

The Song army captured Shuicheng, which meant that more than half of the Dazaifu had been lost.

Ono Castle is the administrative and military center of Dazaifu, but Shuicheng is indeed the food and economic center of Dazaifu.

The Song Army, which captured the food and economic center, basically gained a firm foothold in Dazaifu.

To win other places, you only need to wait for the next step of the imperial court's support.

At this time, the Song army, which had enough food, had already won the advantage in time.

They can wait.

The next day, Song Jun tried Fujiwara Qingming who killed the embassy personnel.

Chapter 1281

Fujiwara Qingming was tied to a wooden frame and kept begging for mercy.

"Forgive me! I am from the Fujiwara family! I am from the Fujiwara family! My father is Guan Bai! My elder brother is the Minister of the Taizheng!"

Zhao Chen slapped him, and then asked Liu Zhen, "Is this the person from the embassy who led the murder?"

"It's him! Even if he turns into ashes, I can still recognize him!" Seeing this man again, Liu Zhen was furious.

"My father is Guan Bai! My elder brother is the Minister of Taizheng! Our Fujiwara family is very powerful, you just need to let me go..."

Zhao Chen slapped him again.

"What kind of a bastard is Guan Bai, and what kind of a bastard is the Minister of the Taizheng!"

Zhao Chen slapped him several times in a row, and continued to ask: "Who gave you the instruction to kill people from my embassy?"

"It's my brother! It's my brother!"

"Minister of the Taizheng?"

"Yes! It was Fujiwara Tadamichi! He asked me to do this! It has nothing to do with me!"

Zhao Chen waved his hand, and a man skilled in knives came up and began to carefully take out some sharp knives.

Fujiwara Qingming was cut [-] times and almost became a skeleton.

In the end, the head was chopped off and hung at the gate of the water city.

"Thank you Your Highness for avenging us!" Liu Zhen knelt on the ground, "In the future, I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness!"

In June of the 13th year of Jingkang, Dazaifu Shuicheng was captured by the Song army, and the news quickly spread to Shi Jian.

Time passed quickly, and it was already July in a blink of an eye.

In July, the Tokyo Daily published an exciting news: Mobei Kelie was defeated by Wang Shi, and the chieftain had been escorted to the capital.

This made everyone in Gyeonggi excited.

This was Song's first major victory in the battle against the grassland, which undoubtedly lifted the mysterious veil of the grassland people, and caused great changes in Song's mentality towards the grassland.

It is said that after being taken to the palace, Khan King Huer Zhahusi danced at the banquet held by Zhao officials and ministers.

One afternoon at the end of July, the news of Japan's provocation to the Song Dynasty finally spread from the East China Sea to Bianjing, where it was placed in front of Zhao Ning.

Soon, the news that the envoy of the embassy had been killed also spread in the court, causing an uproar from everyone.

On the same day, Zhao Ning immediately summoned Zai Zhi.

He said to Zhang Jun: "Give Li Gang an order to support Han Shizhong unconditionally. Han Shizhong will give as many people as he wants, and give him as many armaments as he wants!"

"Your Majesty, are we going to start an all-out war with Japan?" Qian Yuqing stood up first.

"The Japanese thief has killed my envoy, and the knife is on my neck!"

"Your Majesty, Japan is a mountainous country, where there are many people in the countryside. Except for the gold and silver that the imperial court wants now, there are really not many other things." Qian Yuqing explained very gently, "It's really useless to be entangled with a small country of pirates. Necessary, it is better to issue a letter of credence, ask the Japanese ruler to hand over the murderer, exterminate the whole family of the murderer, then ask the Japanese to pay compensation, and force the Japanese ruler to dig gold and silver for us. There is no loss of the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty, and it can speed up the mining of gold and silver."

"Your Majesty! The Japanese are so wicked! This is clearly a declaration of war against the Song Dynasty. If you kill my envoy today, you will go north and enter the old place of Koryo tomorrow. Isn't there a precedent when the Japanese sent troops to Baekje?"

The one who spoke was Cai Mao who usually talked the least.

"The Japanese are ambitious. I believe that the imperial court should recruit a large number of soldiers and civilians from Liaodong to Japan to back up Han Shizhong, quickly replace the local rural untouchables in Japan, and strengthen the imperial court's control over Japan."

Zhao Ning glanced at Zhang Jun and asked, "What does Prime Minister Zhang think?"

"I think what Qian Xianggong said makes sense. I am very unfamiliar with Japan, so there is no need to send a large army to destroy the country."

Zhang Jun is a militant, and he said so, naturally he has sufficient rational considerations.

"Although our dynasty negotiated peace with the Kingdom of Jin, since last year, the imperial court has successively begun to strengthen the law. The deployment of troops on the border has been constantly adjusted to remove bloated parts and save unnecessary military expenses. If the army and civilians are mobilized to Japan at this time, it will be weakened. Defense of Liaodong."

"Where is Mr. Zhao?"

"We can transfer some people over there. If we send more soldiers, it may be inappropriate."

Cai Mao said, "Japan is at war with swords. If it doesn't send more soldiers, what if Shi Jian's silver mountain can't be kept?"

Zhao Ning thought for a moment, then said: "Send five thousand additional imperial troops to Han Shizhong, and they will be transferred from the Anton Governor's Mansion. In addition, there is no limit to the number of people. We can send as many as Han Shizhong needs."

"What if the people don't want to go to Japan?"

"Give the money!"

In the evening, after returning home, Cai Mao was in a good mood.

"Ancestor, why are you so happy?" Cai Heng asked.

"The Japanese declared war on me in the Song Dynasty. I didn't think of this. Now the King of Liao has a lot of room to stretch his hands and feet. If the King of Liao can destroy Japan, I will report to His Majesty and let the King of Liao rule Japan temporarily. You can rely on Japan to cultivate your own power, especially the island of gold and silver."

Immediately, he said again: "Both Zhang Jun and Qian Yuqing wanted to limit the opportunity of King Liao, but His Majesty resisted all opinions and supported King Liao. It seems that the restoration of King Liao is hopeful!"

"Grandson heard that King Kang has set off to go south to Guangzhou to manage the entire South China Sea affairs other than the military."

"King Kang is nothing to worry about. He has long lost his qualifications as crown prince, and neither is the third prince. He had some contacts with Qin Hui before. Zhang Jun supported the fourth prince, and Qian Yuqing supported the fifth prince, but the fourth prince and the fifth prince They are still young, as long as His Majesty can establish a crown prince within three years, the king of Liao must be restored."

At the beginning of August, Wanyan Wushu, the most powerful minister of the Kingdom of Jin, arrived in Yanjing.

"Qin Hui is dead?" Wu Shu asked Wan Yan Xiyin.

"Yes, he was executed at the end of May." Wanyan Xiyin sighed, "Not only that, officials in Hebei and Liaodong who had private dealings with us were wiped out and uprooted, and all private business lines were cut off. .”

"Is there anyone else who can get on the line?" Wanyan Wushu asked.

"Qin Hui's clique has been uprooted. At least for a short period of time, officials in the Song Dynasty dare not have private contacts with us anymore."

Wanyan Wushu fell silent, his expression was a bit dignified, but soon he said again: "Goulian Song's internal officials temporarily pause, you send people to map it out slowly, Ke Lie's department suffered a disastrous defeat in Yinshan, Wo The Ruduo City was destroyed by the Song army, which had a great impact on the grasslands, and the Tataer tribe and the Mughals who originally went south all withdrew."

"My lord still has a lot of affairs to deal with. The reform of the local tax system will take at least two years. The same is true for the allocation of military resources. You need to worry about the matter of uniting the grassland."

"Yes, the lower officials will make arrangements." Wanyan Xiyin said.

"How are the previous prisoners negotiating with the Song people? Are the Song people willing to hand over Wanyan Saliyue?"

"Song people have always been ambiguous on this matter."

Wu Shu was silent for a long time, and then said: "When the king straightens out the internal affairs of the kingdom, the next time we go to war, it will not be hundreds of thousands of soldiers going south, but millions of troops, and we will flatten the Song Kingdom with one sentence!"

Chapter 1282 Japanese people who play tricks to death (third)

The autumn wind in August made the grasslands bleak.

Liu Yi took the Song Dynasty's mission to Burhan Mountain, where the Qiyan Department was located.

On this day, he met Hebrekhan, the leader of the Qiyan tribe.

There were people sitting around, and these people looked at Liu Yi with indifference and malice, as if a wolf on the grassland was staring at a sheep.

Even Hebul's eldest son, Oqinba'er Hehei, pulled out a short knife and thrust it into the table, as if declaring something.

There were also sneers on the faces of the others, and they laughed contemptuously while talking.

"Who is here?" I asked indifferently.

Liu Yi raised his head, his chin almost went up to the sky.

Both sides stopped talking, and the scene was awkward for a while.

Wu Rida, who came with Liu Yi, was the first to break the silence. He smiled obsequiously and said, "Hebrekhan, this is the envoy of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. I have something important to do when I come to you this time..."

Before he finished speaking, my bahai interrupted him, and my bahai said, "Did I ask you something?"

Uzda immediately looked shocked, and continued to smile awkwardly: "I came with the envoy of the Song Dynasty..."

"Are you from Kret?" my baby asked.

"It's me! It's me……"

"You are from Kret, are you mixing with Song people?"

"I……"

"You surrendered to the Song people?"

"I……"

"You betrayed Tulzahus?"

"I……"

"You are a traitor!"

"I just……"

"Come on, push this traitor down and cut him down!"

Wu Rida immediately asked Liu Yi for help: "Shangguan, they want to kill me! Help me!"

Liu Yi immediately reprimanded: "An envoy from the Son of Heaven, who dares to mess around!"

Wu Rida immediately said to my child: "He said that I am also an envoy of the Son of Heaven. If you kill me, it is tantamount to declaring war on Song Dynasty!"

My baby laughed, and everyone else around me laughed too.

"What about declaring war on Song Dynasty?"

Liu Yi seemed to vaguely understand what they meant, and said, "Those who declare war on the Song Dynasty will be wiped out, like the Kelei tribe!"

Uzda quickly translated it, and when he said this, the scene fell silent.

Everyone stared at Liu Yi with gloomy expressions.

But Liu Yi said: "I came here this time to do some business with you, not to have a bad relationship. If you don't want to do this business, you can kill me, but if you kill me, you will have to bear the consequences!"

Seeing Liu Yi's fierceness, Wu Rida quickly hid behind him to translate his words.

After a while, Hebuler said, "What business does Song envoy want?"

"Salt, tea, and grain trading, of course!"

"Is it Da Song's?"

"Yes!"

"Da Song destroyed the Wanggu tribe, and then destroyed the Kelie tribe, and now the idea is coming to us again?"

"The Wangu people and the Kelie people provoked first. As I said, those who provoke the Celestial Dynasty will die and their family will perish!"

"Hahaha!" My baby laughed and said, "Could it be possible for the Song army to go deep into the Mobei grassland and fight against us?"

"It is not unprecedented in the history of the Celestial Dynasty!"

"The Jin army can't do anything to us, just rely on you..."

"What can't be done to your Jin army has been defeated countless times by my Song Dynasty. They can't do anything to you. It doesn't mean that the Celestial Dynasty has no way!"

"What can the Celestial Dynasty do?"

"There are millions of cavalry in the Celestial Dynasty, and when the soldiers arrive, the country will be destroyed!"

"Then I want to see how the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty can gallop on my grassland!" I said disdainfully.

"In this way, you are going to give up the business with me, Song Dynasty, and instead meet each other?"

"So what if soldiers meet each other!" Wuqin Ba'er said angrily.

At this time, Hebuler laughed loudly, his tone changed, and he said very politely: "Messenger, please sit down!"

Seeing that Liu Yi didn't move, Hebuler continued, "What an offense just now!"

Liu Yi just sat down.

"On behalf of the Qiyan Department, I welcome the envoy of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. Our people here are rude and rude. Please forgive me."
