The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Without waiting for Li Bangyan and Li Gang to answer.

Wanyan Zongwang patted his chest and said boldly: "Two Prime Ministers, if the official family of the Song Dynasty really wants to go south and open a border, I, Da Jin, will definitely help! Brother Gao, where are you in Dali? Just express your attitude! "

Gao Kaisheng:...

"Commander Zongwang, it is our Dali that is opening the door."

Wanyan Zongwang was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment, and then looked at Li Bangyan: "I still have to help out."

Li Gang Fusu smiled and said: "In the first year of Jingkang's reign, during the confrontation with Jin Dynasty, my official family of the Song Dynasty had already decided on the national policy. Go north to level Jin Dynasty, and go south... Haha, it's not to open the border, but to go to the sea."

"Going to the sea?" Gao Kaisheng smiled bitterly: "The two prime ministers may not know something. Our Erhai Lake is not a real sea, it is just a lake."

Li Bangyan explained with a smile: "What our chief minister means is that our official family does not want to occupy your land in Dali. We just want to rent a land in Dali and station some troops. As for the rent, we, the Song Dynasty, will pay for it. Soldiers, that is, activities at the base, do not require the use of troops."

"Oh? Why?" Gao Kaisheng was puzzled.

"Our official family wants Bagan, Tianzhu and Jiaozhi." Li Gang said frankly: "If we take these three places, the logistics supply will be extremely long. If we don't set up logistics supply in Dali, we will not be able to achieve success. So our official family asked me and the high envoy Sir, if I rent a piece of land in your country, the number of troops stationed there will not be too many, and they will not pose the slightest threat to your country."

Gao Kaisheng seemed to understand a little bit, this was a way to build troops.

But since we are using roads to build troops, there is no need to rent land.

"Ambassador Gao doesn't know something. Our official family is very good at planning. Although we have this idea now, it will not be implemented in a short time. In the early stage, we still focus on preparations, and we must carry out some trade with these three places. If trade is feasible, there will be no need to send troops. Soldiers are weapons and should not be used unless absolutely necessary."

"Oh... Li Gang Xiangguo means that in the early stage, he only rented land to facilitate the trade activities of Song Dynasty merchants?" Gao Kaisheng asked.

Li Gang nodded: "Yes. But since you have rented the land, the rented land will be the territory of our Song Dynasty during the lease period. All laws and trade taxes will be subject to the laws of our Song Dynasty. Your country has no right to do anything else." Expropriation, as for renting land, the two countries will do so in accordance with the agreement."

Having made his words so clear, Gao Kaisheng had no need to hide them and boldly expressed his thoughts: "Since it is only for business in the early stage, there is no need to rent land. Why don't we in Dali provide convenience to the merchants of the Song Dynasty?" Already?"

Li Bangyan continued: "Business matters are personnel affairs. If you want our merchants from the Song Dynasty to go to the south to do business, it is extremely important to make them feel at ease. Your country provides convenience and makes these merchants feel that our Song Dynasty has land over there. There are soldiers from the Song Dynasty escorting them, the difference is incomparable."

Gao Kaisheng smiled bitterly and said: "If it is just a lease and a small number of Song soldiers are stationed, it will be nothing, but..."

Gao Kaisheng paused, stood up, bowed and saluted: "Since the two prime ministers are so honest with each other, I will say it bluntly. If there is any disrespect, please forgive me."

Li Gang and Li Bangyan looked at each other, smiled and nodded: "Envoy Gao, just say so."

"First: Apart from collecting rent, what other benefits does Dali have?"

Li Gang stroked his beard and said: "What our official family means is that in addition to paying rent in Dali, our merchants from the Song Dynasty will definitely hire people to live and live there. This will give the people of Dali an extra income, and Dali's merchants will also have to do business there." And the growth is an additional benefit for the Dali court."

Gao Kaisheng smiled noncommittally and said nothing.

Li Bangyan continued: "If we really use troops against Bagan, Jiaozhi, and Tianzhu in the future, Jiaozhi will return to Dali."

Gao Kaisheng was surprised: "Seriously?"

Li Bangyan said with a smile: "It's true! As for what conditions there will be in the future, the officials haven't said yet, and we don't dare to make the decision for them."

Gao Kaisheng frowned and thought: "Then what if the Song Dynasty is defeated?" "Impossible!" Wanyan Zongwang stood up and said: "Commander Gao, have you heard about my Great Gold and Iron Pagoda, and have you heard about my Great Gold Soldiers and Horses? A dragon, a horse like a tiger?”

Gao Kaisheng nodded: "That's natural. Although we haven't seen the power of the Jin army, in just a few years, if we can destroy the Liao Dynasty and dare to touch the Song Dynasty, we should not underestimate it."

Wanyan Zongwang spread his hands: "However, in the battle of Kaifeng, our Dajin was completely defeated."

"A battle to defend a city is different from a battle to invade."

"You mean, our Song Dynasty can't fight in the field?" Han Shizhong, who had never spoken, snorted.

Gao Kaisheng looked at Han Shizhong again: "Forgive me, Minister Han. I shouldn't have had any doubts, but the Li family in Jiaozhi is really not easy to deal with. If the Song Dynasty sends troops from Dali in the future, it will be fine if it wins. If it loses, I, Dali, will not be able to deal with it." You’re going to get yourself into trouble.”

Just when Han Shizhong was about to have a good talk with Gao Kaisheng, Li Gang raised his hand: "In the eighth year of Shenzong Xining's reign, Jiaozhi invaded the country. I, Guo Kui of the Song Dynasty, was ordered to suppress the bandits. In the battle of Fuliang River, Jiaozhi was almost destroyed. Can Ambassador Gao return this? Remember?"

Gao Kaisheng nodded: "That's natural."

Li Gang smiled and said: "Now the national power of our country, the Song Dynasty, is not even a bit stronger than that of Xining in the past eight years. We have many more generals who can fight than at that time. If we want to destroy Jiaozhi, we can do so with just a snap of our fingers."

Gao Kaisheng looked at Han Shizhong, and then at Wanyan Zongwang, who was convinced of defeat: "That's all, let's not talk about it in advance. The second question is, if the land is leased to the Song Dynasty, after the expiration, if the Song Dynasty does not pay it back..."

"Oh, Commander Gao!" Li Bangyan stood up and came to Gao Kaisheng's side: "Do you know why I am talking to you in front of these people?"

Gao Kaisheng was puzzled.

Li Bangyan pointed at Wanyan Zongwang: "Dajin!"

Then he pointed at himself: "Da Song!"

Then he pointed at Gao Kaisheng: "Dali! Except for the Xixia envoy who has not yet arrived, our table is now the Central Plains world. We, the Song Dynasty, signed letters of credence with Dali in front of the envoys of all countries. This is called magnanimity. There is absolutely no deceitful intention. When the lease expires in the future, we will discuss whether it can be renewed. If Dali does not allow it, we will never stick around. This is called the credibility of the country!"

"People cannot stand without faith, and a country cannot stand without faith. How can we, the Song Dynasty, make the world laugh at us?" Li Gang added.

"I believe it!" Wanyan Zongwang slapped the table and said: "The Song Dynasty Navy's 50,000 troops have already entered our Huining Mansion and Mingde Hall. It would be easy to destroy our Jin Dynasty. However, they did not commit any crimes. Why? Because? I have made an appointment with the officials of the Song Dynasty, and the officials of the Song Dynasty are definitely not people who break their promises!"

"Although the Liao Kingdom has died, as the princess of the Liao Kingdom, I also believe that the officials of the Song Dynasty are trustworthy. The Song Dynasty is trustworthy!" Yelu Yuliyan also stood up and said.

"Oh, Commander Gao, think about it again. If I, the Song Dynasty, really wanted to take over your Dali, why would I need to tell you this? I would just send troops!" Han Shizhong said with a disdainful smile: "Take Commander Gao to take a look at our capital navy some other day. Commander Gao will understand."

I have seen many people who claim to be trustworthy, Gao Kaisheng, but both former enemies and former allies think that the officials of the Song Dynasty are trustworthy, and the Song Dynasty is trustworthy...

Gao Kaisheng thinks it is credible!

"Okay, you two prime ministers, please let me pass some time and meet the officials of the Song Dynasty. Then we can discuss this matter again. How about that?"

"Okay! Let's not talk about anything else today, let's have a drink!" Li Bangyan laughed and raised his hand: "Everyone, take a seat, everyone, take a seat."

When everyone sat down again, Li Bangyan came to Gao Kaisheng's side, pointed to Duan Yuyan's table and said, "Did you see the lady sitting next to Princess Yuyan? If Commander Gao really wants Princess Yuyan to appreciate her speech, she words..."

Li Bangyan gave a thumbs up: "Okay!" (End of this chapter)
