Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Chapter 177 The Fox Is My Fox

For the officials, it doesn't matter who comes, as long as there is someone who stands in front of them.

Even if this person is not Wanxi, he can still be called Master Wan, anyway, the Tata people don't know what the real Master Wan looks like.

When they led Qin Juan to the tower, King Tata's army "greeted" them.

Qin Juan looked carefully, and he did not find the enemy's army, which should be the result of Wanxi's negotiations with the officials.

Although the enemy did not appear in the peace talks.

Anyway, this made Qin Juan breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that a peace talk without an army behind him is no different from "sending death" to him.

In the corridor of the tower built of earth blocks, they looked down and saw densely packed soldiers.

Qin Juan took a deep breath,

In the eyes of the middle-aged, the slender boy is just a child who grew up early and became sensible.

In the Song Dynasty, those princes and grandchildren who were as old as him were even protected by the high walls by their parents.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he has done enough.

The wind on the tower is biting, with snow shards, scraping the cheeks.

When Qin Juan walked over, the people on the high seat had already stood up.

Qin Juan saw King Tata for the first time, but never paid attention to the ten-year-old child next to King Tata, maybe he noticed but didn't care.

King Tata didn't seem to recognize this person yet, maybe he didn't care who it was.

On the sheepskin scroll are densely packed Uighur characters.

Although the Tata people have the same ancestors as the Mongols, they don't use Uighur characters as their official characters, but Khitan characters.

This is related to Hou Liao. Yelu Dashi once conquered Tata, and Tata once regarded Hou Liao as its suzerain

After the destruction of the Later Liao Dynasty, Tata developed to the north, reached the Chuhe River Basin, and gradually grew into the current Guzhita Tower.

King Tata hurriedly read the parchment handed over by the middle-aged man, and threw it away after a while.

"It's different from what I said before." King Tata said, he lifted up his robe and sat down nearby

Almost as expected in middle age, Guiyu will not satisfy all the interests of the Tata people.

Qin Juan glanced at the few officials behind him, almost without exception, with an expression of nothing to do with himself.

He didn't know how Guiyou had talked with King Tata before, and what was the difference in the agreed treaty, but he knew that even the things that had been negotiated before would change, and there were many such things.

"If Your Majesty is not satisfied, we can discuss it again."

King Tata still had a smile on his face, but it was really hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. After a while, he said, "Discuss? Do you have the right to discuss?"

His meaning couldn't be more obvious. It wasn't Guiyu who came here. Can this treaty be changed?

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. We still have officials from Dadu here. They will solve these problems for you."

King Tata was obviously not a patient person, he raised his hand and interrupted after hearing this sentence, he looked at the middle-aged man: "If you want us to retreat, you have to row over a hundred miles north of Husi Ordu. "

This was discussed in many letters between him and Guiyou. It is very important that he can help Guiyou Hui to inherit the Khan position.

Qin Juan listened with pricked ears, only to hear the middle-aged man suddenly step forward, and whispered to King Tata: "Did the King forget that there are still 3 people in the hands of the King..."

Hearing this, Qin Juan couldn't help feeling numb all over...

He heard the name again.

Black Banner Army.

The lingering Black Banner Army was given to King Tata by Guiyou. No wonder Tata's cavalry has grown so much stronger in just seven years.

Good guy!You can beat your own people when you become ruthless!

If Xiji's father knew about it, would he come back to life angrily, if only Timur knew about it, what expression would he have?

However, now he is even more puzzled about how this middle-aged man knows these things.

"What, you mean to ask me to hand over those 3 people?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Young people dare not do things that are not written in the treaty."

King Tata narrowed his eyes: "Then what you said before was all bullshit"

The middle-aged man lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty, a hundred miles north of the city and [-] cavalry, it is definitely impossible to have both. The Great King understands this better than the young one."

"You are cunning by nature. This king helped you sweat back to Dadu to ascend the throne. Instead of being grateful, he used a treaty to blackmail this king. Even if this king spares you today, do you think the soldiers who came to the Japanese king will forgive you?" Tata Wang stood up and raised his voice

Obviously, the officials heard that King Tata was possessed by a showman, and he probably forgot that he was the one who had been looting all the time.

The middle-aged man is not in a hurry, nor is he in a hurry: "My lord, although the north of the city is a hundred miles away, a large number of people have fled Husi Ordu City after the war. It will take several years to recover, and most of them are willing to take 8000 taels of silver. As compensation, the king may not be able to receive 100 taels of silver from a herdsman with less than 8000 people in a few years." It is an indisputable fact that there are only less than a hundred people left after running a hundred miles north of the city, so Guiyou Filled up the previously set land with silver.

Land is definitely better than silver in the long run.

And it's only 8000 taels of silver, it's like sending a child away.

But because of an incident, this condition can be negotiated. The middle-aged man knew it clearly, but he didn't say it. This is also an important reason why he can be confident.

Qin Juan looked at the middle-aged man, and suddenly felt that the middle-aged man was trying his best to help him.

He didn't even have to say anything, just wait for the middle age to talk it over with King Tata.

King Tata frowned and looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Who are you?"

Annoyed in tone.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, but the little unknown pawns are worthless."

"You Khan sent an unknown person to negotiate peace with this king?" King Tata's anger was rising.

"Little Zheng Shengbai."

King Tata's ears perked up, and his eyes narrowed slightly, not because of anything else, but because he felt that the name sounded familiar.

Where did you hear it...

"Your name sounds familiar."

"Maybe it doesn't sound very good, that's why the king is familiar." Zheng Shengbai still looked calm.

"No." King Tata claimed that he was not a person with a bad memory. If he said he had heard it, he must have heard it.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, King Tata suddenly turned around and looked at the middle-aged man.

"It turned out to be the governor of Suzhou Prefecture." King Tata smiled, "Wan Yanxu supported you back then, so I have heard of your name."

He couldn't remember wrongly, so he looked at Zheng Shengbai with a penetrating gaze, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Thin beads of sweat formed on Zheng Shengbai's forehead, and it seemed that only at this time did he show a trace of fear.

A Han Chinese who was brought up by King Jin, from the official to the governor.

As for why he came here, it makes people think deeply.

Qin Juan didn't know what kind of story there was between Zheng Shengbai and Wanxi, but he was certain that Zheng Shengbai could become Wanxi's subordinate, except for talent and ability, there were other more direct reasons

Wanxi cares about profit, and he has many capable people under his command. There must be a reason for arranging Zheng Shengbai to be Husi's good office for so many years, but he won't be able to figure it out for a while.

Wait, he seems to have ignored the person in King Tata's words just now.

Complete sequence.

He will not miss this familiar name, nor should he miss it.

This man who broke into the life of the young Nunu Mohe.

Qin Juan didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment, but just at this moment, it seemed that a door had opened, a door leading to the past.

Facing King Tata's questioning, Zheng Shengbai just remained silent.He knew full well that the impatient and irascible man would turn his anger on them if he said a word wrong.

He would rather grind King Tata's patience than talk casually at this time.

He still maintained a respectful and silent posture.

Until there was a clear and pleasant voice of a child in the silence.

A child who can reach the shoulders of an adult, but has a face that is more immature than his height.

And that face was damn fine.

"Father, my son has something to say." Yu Xuedu came forward unhurriedly.

Zheng Shengbai looked at this child, a child with a different demeanor from King Tata, a child with aura and courage, but rarely restrained.

And he quickly thought of the face he had seen many years ago, the younger brother of his current master, the Patriarch of Boyawu clan

If he hadn't known that the Patriarch would never have given birth to such a big son, he might have doubted that this was the Patriarch's own son...

They look alike, even their demeanor is exactly the same.

King Tata loved his son very much.

They soon discovered that when Yu Xuedu walked to King Tata's side, King Tata had a smile on his face, and there was a little bit of love and compassion.

Their father and son communicated in Tata dialect.

Qin Juan didn't understand, and neither did Zheng Shengbai.

But Qin Juan has already confirmed that Yu Xuedu has recognized him, that's right, the mask has not been changed, only a change of clothes, if Yu Xuedu can't recognize him, he must be a ghost.

Yuxuedu told King Tata that it is better to ask for silver than land, although the silver is a little too little, but they choose to ask for silver, and the silver can be added.

King Tata asked Yuxuedu why.

Yu Xuedu had no choice but to tell his father the latest news: "Guiyou wants to attack the Golden Horde Khan, and their army may be on their way again."

King Tata suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at his son. Obviously, he didn't get the news, but his son found out. What does this mean?

How could Yu Xuedu be so smart not to know that revealing this news would arouse his father's suspicion.

But this news is too fatal, far more important than this suspicion.

It was precisely because he believed that his father cared about the news that he said it.
