Qiming 1158

Chapter 1116 Could it be that Da Song really ends here?

Zhang Yuejing said the fourth requirement without any psychological burden.

The Ming Kingdom needs the Southern Song Dynasty to no longer be an empire, but to become a kingdom, and Zhao Tan can no longer be an emperor, but a country lord.

Just like the previous Xixia and the current Goryeo.

After the fourth requirement was said, Shen Gai was shocked again.

Go to the country number?
Become a Jiangnan country?
To the emperor?
The emperor of the Song Dynasty became the lord of Jiangnan?

Wait, wait, something's not quite right...

Why does the title of Jiangnan King sound a little familiar?
Oh, remembered.

200 years ago, when the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty was still alive, Li Yu, the emperor of the Jiangnan and Southern Tang regime at that time, took the initiative to go to the country, proclaimed himself the lord of Jiangnan, and became a vassal of the Song Dynasty. Country, very respectful.

He even took the initiative to ask to kneel to accept the imperial edict of Song Emperor, all regulations were in accordance with the rules of the courtiers, and he tried every means to prevent the Northern Song Dynasty from going south.

Of course, in the end, it didn't stop the Northern Song Dynasty from going south to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty.

In those days, Zhao Kuangyin's remarks [the side of the couch allows others to sleep soundly] made Li Yu's little heart thump, and then the Southern Tang Dynasty was gone, and Li Yu could only watch the spring water flow eastward for the rest of his life. Finally sad and lonely died.

Now Su Yonglin actually wants Zhao Tan to be the king of Jiangnan?
This……

Is this history repeating itself?

Is this some kind of advance warning or a rehearsal for some action?
Shen Gai was stunned, he was stunned for a while and couldn't react, his face was sluggish.

Zhang Yuejing was not in a hurry and did not disturb him. He poured himself a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and tasted it slowly.

This is the spoils of war after the defeat of Xiangfan. It's a very good tea, with a very fragrant taste. After drinking it, it leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth. It is estimated that it is the possession of a certain senior officer.

Zhang Yuejing was drinking tea slowly here, waiting for Shen Gai to react.

Shen Gai also wanted to make himself react, but he felt terrified like a fierce boxer, punching punch after punch without stopping, making it impossible for him to take a breath at all.

Even a little breather?

Can't do it, can't do it at all, it's hard to calm down at all.

But Zhang Yuejing was very patient, just sipping tea in a bland way, waiting for Shen Ging to speak.

After about two sticks of incense, Shen Kai finally moved his slightly stiff body and looked at Zhang Yuejing.

"General, the matter of the lord of Jiangnan...Is it true?"

"How can a national event be a joke? Of course it's true."

Zhang Yuejing smiled and said: "Why, you could let Li Yu be the king of Jiangnan, and Li Yu also did it, why is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty asking Zhao Tan to be the king of Jiangnan, and he is not happy? You are saying that Emperor Daming is not as good as your Taizu. emperor?"

Zhang Yuejing didn't hesitate to call Zhao Tan's name, but Shen Kai didn't have time to care.

"General, this matter... Is this matter... can it be negotiated? The ancestral inheritance of the title of the Great Song Dynasty, even if... even if the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is not called an emperor, but a king, maybe, maybe it will be better than this matter. Would you like to say something better?"

Shen Gai looked at Zhang Yuejing with a bitter face, his face full of pleading.

Zhang Yuejing didn't care about it.

"This is not something I can decide. This is something you should decide. I said, what I have to do is when you make a decision that does not meet Daming's requirements, I will call you to accept Daming's request."

Shen Ji was completely speechless.

"The General's remarks completely left me helpless... I... ah! General, what other demands are there from Emperor Daming, please feel free to say them."

"Actually, it's not much, just the last one left."

Zhang Yuejing said with a smile: "Article [-], after the war, Daming needs to set up an office in Lin'an to deal with the affairs of Daming and Jiangnan Kingdom, and to establish a channel for quick contact between the two sides."

Good guy, let's talk about Jiangnan country directly, not Song country.

This is too overbearing.

Shen Gai bowed his head, but he didn't think that the fifth article was important. How could an indifferent office be important?

This is really the most normal and best-implemented requirement.

Even the indemnity of the first and second clauses, it is normal to say it, because it has happened before, and the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty are not unfamiliar.

But the third and fourth items are really things that break the bottom line.

After the battle, the Song Dynasty couldn't even keep the throne of the country and the emperor.

If this goes on, what is the difference between the Great Song Dynasty and the extinction?

Shen Gai thought that Zhao Tan would definitely say—then just hit the country directly and forget it!

After swallowing, Shen Kai carefully bowed his hands to Zhang Yuejing.

"I already know the request of the Ming Kingdom. As for the next thing, the next person really can't give a reliable answer to the general. I will return to Lin'an and inform His Majesty the Great Song Emperor of this matter, and His Majesty the Great Song Emperor will judge. "

"That's natural, it doesn't matter what you say."

Zhang Yuejing smiled and said, "Of course, if Zhao Tan doesn't agree, what he said will not count. When we occupy Lin'an, what the Emperor Daming said will really count."

Shen Kai was smiling, but when Zhang Yuejing said that, Shen Kai's smile froze on his face.

Shen Gai quickly left the city of Xiangyang.

When leaving, Shen Gai took Ye Yiwen's body, which had been treated with lime, to prevent Ye Yiwen's body from decomposing prematurely, so that if he couldn't go back and regret Lin'an, he couldn't take it.

Before leaving, he finally saw with his own eyes the new firearms and artillery of the Ming army that were being transported.

"Is this the Ming Dynasty's new firearm?"

Shen Gai looked at the artillery being transported in a trance, his face full of surprise.

"Yes, this is the new firearm of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the hero who captured Xiangyang and Fancheng this time. It is called artillery."

Zhang Yuejing, who was standing by the side, smiled and said, "To be able to attack Xiangyang and Fancheng so quickly, the establishment of artillery has made great contributions. Without artillery, it is indeed not that easy for us to attack Xiangyang and Fancheng so quickly."

Shen Gai took a deep breath and looked at the gradually receding artillery with reluctance on his face.

"Da Ming craftsman is really alive, Lu Ban can actually make such a powerful weapon, it is really enviable."

"It's okay, although it was made by Ming artisans, but I heard that it is His Majesty the Ming emperor who is mainly responsible for developing and instructing artisans to make artillery."

"what?"

Shen Gai was stunned and asked doubtfully, "His Majesty the Emperor Daming still understands the art of firearms?"

"His Majesty the Emperor Daming knows a lot. From the very beginning, our firearms are superior to those of the Golden Army. That is His Majesty's greatest contribution. His Majesty is very good at this, so the firearms of the Daming army are always the best in the world. However, this is only a matter of fact. One of the many things that His Majesty is good at."

Zhang Yuejing looked at Shen Gai with a full face: "Zhao Guan's family should also be good at governing the country, right?"

Shen Gai looked very bad, and saluted Zhang Yuejing.

"What happened here, I will inform His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in full, and then make a decision."

"Well, go back and tell him, but I always feel that we will meet again soon, in Lin'an City."

Zhang Yuejing smiled and patted Shen Cai on the shoulder, making Shen Cai pale.

If Zhang Yuejing really led his troops to kill Lin'an, causing the Ming army to surround Lin'an for the second time, this battle would really not have to go on.

When the Jin army came to Kaifeng for the second time, it was to attack Kaifeng and destroy the Northern Song Dynasty. The humiliating demise of the Northern Song Dynasty also began when Kaifeng was surrounded for the second time.

And now Lin'an City is about to be surrounded by the Ming army for the second time. Could it be that the Song Dynasty really ended here?

Shen Cai returned to Lin'an with Ye Yiwen's body in fear.
