Chapter 241 Emergency Military Situation ([-])

The envoy is on an envoy.

It sounds good, but it is actually a process of suffering.

This is a thankless job, not to mention the humiliation of the enemy, and you may lose your life to the enemy. After finally returning, you will be scolded as a traitor.What's more, it will be used as a scapegoat, and the emperor will cut off his head inexplicably to appease the anger of the people.

Therefore, most people don't want such things as missions to fall on their own heads.

The country is tough and has something to rely on, which is barely enough.But if the country is weak, its national power, force, technology, population, etc. are not as good as the enemy, and if it is sent to the enemy, it will be a proper sell.

Presumably for this reason, the official of the Ministry of Rites who heard Dong Tiancheng's words suddenly became ill.

except him.

Some courtiers in the palace are also not well.

Think it over, calculate it, calculate it.He didn't expect that Dong Tiancheng had a grudge today, and he would avenge it today. In front of these people, the trick of killing with a borrowed knife appeared.

Even more heinous things.

It's a group of courtiers, and none of them can object.

This was Dong Tiancheng's conspiracy. After all, before Dong Tiancheng came, they already had such a plan. The only thing that went wrong was that Dong Tiancheng did not object to it.

Dong Tiancheng has no objection, how to let them carry out the following activities?
Inside the hall.

All of a sudden fell into silence.

Only the official of the Ministry of Rites who was named by Dong Tiancheng had a dead face and a miserable look like the sky had fallen.

At this time, the official of the Ministry of Rituals had already silently resented himself in his heart, resenting that he should not be used as a gunman, now it's over, he never hit the bird, but was scratched by the bird and hurt his eyes, which provoked Dong Tiancheng I hated him and sent him a bad job as an envoy to the enemy.

It's too late to regret.

It's too late to regret.

"Gentlemen, the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty besieged Xiangyang City, and you still need to draw up a regulation." Zhao Qi broke the silence in the hall, and said to the ministers.

"Your Majesty, we need to make two preparations for this matter." Jia Sidao suggested to Zhao Qi.

"Listen to Mr. Ge." Zhao Qi waved her hand, signaling Jia Sidao to speak quickly.

"Your Majesty, first-hand preparations, showing the spirit of fighting the enemy to the end, ordered the three parties of the household department, the industry department, and the military department to cooperate to transfer weapons, armor, crossbows, reinforcements, grain and other materials to Xiangyang City on a large scale. Xiangyang City is here, our Great Song is safe, Xiangyang City is falling, and our Great Song Dynasty is in danger. For the current plan, we need to do our best to protect our Xiangyang City. Use a kind of momentum to fight to the end to show that our Great Song Dynasty will fight to the death with the enemy The second-hand preparation is to send envoys to the Northern Yuan Dynasty to restore the friendship between the two countries. When necessary, we can send a certain amount of money and materials to each other as we did to the Liao, Jin, and Xia, so that they can retreat. to prevent the war from affecting the peoples of the two countries." Although Jia Sidao is a well-known traitor, he still has some real skills. After thinking about it briefly, he put forward two suggestions. A little suggestion is to spend money to buy peace, and use money to repel the enemy.

Compared with Jia Sidao's two suggestions, Dong Tiancheng was more inclined to the first suggestion, that is, to actively prepare for the war, use Xiangyang City as a base, and fight back the invading Northern Yuan army.

To deal with wolves, you can only use sticks, not wine or meat.

Once wine and meat are used, in addition to not being able to expel the wolves, it will also arouse the greed of the wolves, making the wolves even more unscrupulous.

Since he was more inclined towards the first solution in his heart, Dong Tiancheng's expression became a little dignified.

The enemy is present, and there is no room for distraction.

Perhaps seeing the solemn look on Dong Tiancheng's face, Jia Sidao actually fired Dong Tiancheng's cannon, "I see General Dong's face is serious, does it mean that General Dong has a third solution?"

These words immediately attracted the eyes of everyone in the hall to Dong Tiancheng.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Dong Tiancheng couldn't help but calm down, and gave Zhao Qi a salute, "Jia Xiang joked, the two solutions proposed by Jia Xiang settled the matter safely, but Dong It tends to the first solution mentioned by Jia Xiang, not to use property, but to use our fists and weapons to fight back the Bei Yuan army who committed crimes in the future."

Zhao Qi stared at Dong Tiancheng with eyes full of excitement.

Warrior.

You should have the temperament of a warrior. When the country is invaded by foreign enemies, you should stand up instead of hiding behind and being a turtle.

Unlike Zhao Qi, the other ministers looked at Dong Tiancheng with amusement.

Dong Tiancheng looked at the officials in the hall, then at Zhao Qi, and said to Zhao Qi: "Your Majesty, the reason why I agree with Jia Xiang's first point of view is because I concluded that the Northern Yuan army besieged Xiangyang this time. City, not with the ultimate goal of destroying our Great Song Dynasty, but knowing that His Majesty has newly ascended the throne and besieged Xiangyang City with a large army, to test His Majesty, so as to make targeted deployments."

Zhao Qiang let out a cry, sat up straight suddenly, and said to Dong Tiancheng: "Dong Aiqing means that the Northern Yuan army's siege of Xiangyang City is false, and it is true to explore my ambition?"

Dong Tiancheng flattered him, "Your Majesty is wise."

Seeing the strange look in Zhao Qi's eyes, Jia Sidao knew that Zhao Qi was moved by Dong Tiancheng, and quickly interjected, "General Dong, I don't understand something, can I ask General Dong to clarify?"

Seeing that Jia Sidao was targeting him, Dong Tiancheng knew that Jia Sidao was not happy.The imperial court looks tall and tall, but in fact it is no different from the emperor's harem. The promotion of officials has a great relationship with the love of the officials. If the officials like you, they will give you a high-ranking official. official.

Therefore, Jia Sidao would not let Dong Tiancheng perform alone, so he asked a question.

"It's speculation." Dong Tiancheng said slowly according to the draft he had prepared in his mind: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jia, and colleagues, after the Northern Yuan destroyed the four kingdoms of Jin, Xixia, Tubo, and Dali, it has already formed a pattern for our Great Song Dynasty. Geographical encirclement."

All the ministers in the hall, including Zhao Qi, nodded. This is common sense, and they all know it.

"Northern Yuan coveted the wealth of our Great Song Dynasty, and launched more than a dozen wars against our Great Song Dynasty, which lasted for decades. These dozens of wars either launched an attack in autumn and ended in winter, or launched an attack in spring and ended in summer. It will end before it comes, and there has never been an attack launched in summer, and there has never been an attack launched in summer." When Dong Tiancheng said this, he changed his tone and gave the reason for his speculation, "Your Majesty, Feeling this, I boldly speculate that the Northern Yuan army is afraid of the summer in our south, which is the rainy season in the south. The Northern Yuan army is definitely not familiar with this season, and they are not used to it, so when they start a war, They usually avoid the seasons they don't like. As of today, although it has not entered summer, there have been several drizzles in a row. Even our locals are not used to these drizzles, let alone living in arid and rainless areas In view of this, Wei Chen speculated that the large-scale siege of Xiangyang City by the Northern Yuan army at this time was not intended to storm Xiangyang City, but to demonstrate. They knew that we would definitely take action, including sending envoys to In the form of old coins, let them retreat."

After speaking these words.

Dong Tiancheng deliberately paused for 30 seconds, he wanted to give the people in the hall time to think.

When these people were thinking about it, Dong Tiancheng continued, "Bei Yuan tried in vain to intimidate us with an army of 10,000+, so as to achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting. So this time, instead of negotiating peace, we have to Just as Jia Xiang proposed, try to be as high-profile as possible, so that they don't dare to boo the new king of our Great Song Dynasty."

Jia Sidao was speechless for a while.

He found that he had fallen into Dong Tiancheng's calculations, and had to deal with the matter according to Dong Tiancheng's analysis, so after Dong Tiancheng finished speaking, he hurriedly followed Dong Tiancheng's words, and took a small pat on Zhao Qi. Flattery, "Your Majesty, just as Wei Wei said, this time, we need..."

The official of the Ministry of Rites who didn't want to go to Beiyuan, for his own sake, also said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Jia is justified in what he said, and we can't bring up the matter of peace negotiation. Once we negotiate a peace, we will be passive and powerless..."
