[Second Update.] 】

Kim Yi can finally confirm that among the several Zaifu who have spoken in the palace today, the one who is most opposed to aiding Goryeo should be this counselor.

Prime Minister Han Jiang cares about the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty. Cai Qu, the second minister, did not want to see the Liao State annex Goryeo, but he did not want to use swords for this. As for the Zhang Shumi, who once led the army to destroy the country, it seems that he deliberately used troops and advocated attacking the Liao State.

The most unpredictable thing is that Queen Taishang, who is very kind and benevolent when she speaks, but her tendency is not revealed at all. Whether to save or not, to save or not to save, to save Wen or to save by force, Jin Yi couldn't guess at all.

It is terrifying and terrifying, no wonder that after she took power, the Great Song Dynasty defeated the Liao State in one fell swoop and regained a lot of land. The emperor who always hoped to take the Great Goryeo Kingdom as the king, but did not dare to be the enemy of the Liao State, and could only cut the land and seek peace, was really too far behind his queen.

Fortunately, that one had abdicated after a stroke, otherwise he would still be in office now, and it would be useless to come and ask for it...... Maybe the situation will be different, the Liao army is satisfied with the Great Song Dynasty, and it will not fight the idea of Goryeo.

Jin Yi pondered back and forth in his heart, and heard another Zaisuke say, "When Empress Taishang heard that the northern captives were attacking Goryeo, she immediately issued an order to prepare for rescue. Dengzhou has prepared 1,000 iron armor, 5,000 knives and spears, 300,000 arrows, and 1,500 bows. If Goryeo still needs it, China can also provide further support. ”

The old minister who spoke, standing in the middle of the western class, was separated from Zhang Dian by a minister who was too young. is not like a leading general, his age looks similar to Prime Minister Han Jiang, and he reported so many numbers in one breath, he should be a capable minister Xue Xiang who is famous for his wealth.

Hearing that the Great Song monarch had prepared so many weapons, Liu Hong hurriedly thanked him. Jin Yi was half a step late, and he also thanked him.

I heard that there are strong bows and crossbows that can shoot through iron armor from a hundred steps away, and there are catapults that can throw thousands of pounds of boulders to destroy the city wall, and there are also clairvoyant mirrors that can make generals see thousands of miles from afar, and there are spaceships that allow soldiers to soar above the nine heavens. With so many divine weapons, His Royal Highness Shangfu of the Liao State only stole one or two of them, and then sent away the emperor who was in the way, and he saw that he was about to usurp the throne.

"The armament to aid Goryeo is complete. There are also ships in Dengju, which can be used to cross the sea at any time and transport military weapons to Goryeo. Zeng Bu's voice sounded cold, "But all this, you must first prove that you are still fighting against the Liao State, and the king of Goryeo has not betrayed my Great Song." ”

"It doesn't have to be that harsh." There was another voice behind the curtain, "I rule the country and treat others with leniency." As long as Goryeo still has ministers and is unwilling to surrender to the northern captives, how can I, China, sit idly by and let the loyal ministers and filial sons slaughter the northern captives. ”

Han Jiang also spoke again, "Empress Taishang has already shown that she can't sit idly by and watch Goryeo being invaded by the northern captives. Even in the past six months, China and the Northern Captives have fought a series of wars, and there is nowhere without soldiers on the border of thousands of miles. Waiting to recuperate. But now in Hebei, troops and horses are already being gathered and armed. ”

"Empress Taishang Rende." Liu Hong was moved until he cried, and Jin Yi also knelt down smartly, grateful, but his heart was very cold.

On the surface, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were very generous. Everything is ready, and as long as Goryeo is still resisting, and the king of Goryeo has not surrendered, he will fully support Goryeo.

But if you think about it, you can see that these are empty words.

It is said that the weapons and armor are prepared, and they are all placed in Dengzhou. But in fact, those instruments must have been kept in the Dengju arsenal, and they were brought out and given to the Great Goryeo Kingdom, as long as they were taken away.

It would be even funnier to say that Hebei has gathered an army at the point. Song and Liao have been at odds with each other for a hundred years, and they have always been wary of each other, when will there be fewer soldiers and horses on the border? Those soldiers and horses are always on guard against the Liao State, can they be said to be gathering for Goryeo?

The Great Goryeo Kingdom does not need empty words now, but the real help of the Song Kingdom. The besieged Kaijing did not need outsiders to wait to see the results, but immediately rescued them. If you drag left and right, those who still have a breath will also be dragged to death.

But the Great Song monarchs and ministers, led by Empress Taishang, don't seem to like to take risks. If you can use the money, you can send it away. In addition, even if the previous war was won, it must have been greatly damaged. That's why the attitude is so conservative now.

Jin Yi's heart was racing, he kowtowed two more heads, and stood up with Liu Hong one after the other.

"With the help of the Empress Taishang, the ministers are finally in vain." Jin Yi cautiously complimented first, and then said, "But if the weapon is taken from the sea, there are some places where you still have to be careful." ”

"The ambassador is talking about the storm?" Zhang Dian immediately went out and said: "The wind and waves on the sea, the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty are not afraid. As for the typhoon that can go north to the east of Dengzhou, there will be only one in many years, let alone worry. ”

This one really likes to be aggressive. Kim confirmed again. Zhang Dian is indeed the most daring one in the palace. Even so bold that he didn't even care about the typhoon.

"Jin Yi is not worried about natural disasters, but about man-made disasters." Jin Yi first sighed, and then faced the Empress Taishang and the Son of Heaven above, and said, "There are many maritime merchants in the country, and there are tens of millions of sea ships, in case the Liao people seize the sea ships." With their temperament, from the south to the north, the Great Song Dynasty will have no peace. ”

"Aren't the Goryeo maritime merchants worried?" Zhang Dun sneered, "Naval battles are not about towing a boat to battle. What's more, how did the Liao people drive the maritime merchants to be enemies of our Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Those maritime merchants are held by the Beiyu, even if they dare not be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts, they can be forced to have no choice but to obey the call of the Beiyu. Even if they couldn't win the naval battle against several of the Great Song Dynasty's sailors, what if they started harassing the place? It's harder to deal with than a head-to-head fight. ”

"It's just that after being coerced and forced to listen to him, it's not a big deal." Zhang Dian didn't care anymore, "As long as the port is guarded, fireworks guards are placed to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, who can I do in the end?" ”

Cai Qu also said: "The northerners are not good at boating, but what about the Liao? After the Liao people got on the ship, I am afraid that they will not even be able to hold a sword. ”

Jin Yi became more and more worried.

He only hoped that the Song people could send more soldiers and horses, so that they could confront the Liao State, but they could give the Goryeo side a breather, instead of being arrogant and looking down on the Liao State like now.

Goryeo struggled to deal with the Liao army that entered the army, but it was not good for the Song people to enjoy peace, but after helping, they were defeated miserably, and the situation was even worse.

"Xianggong, it's better to be cautious. After all, there were many ships in Goryeo, and some of them went to Japan to expand their territory. When they got the news, they came back and saw that their families were under the care of the Liao army. Where can there be a mind to resist. will only curry favor with the Liao State so that he can save his family. ”

"Even most of the ships are produced in Mingzhou, so what about more?" Cai Cheng still didn't take it to heart, "Speaking of family, how many of those maritime merchants were born in Fujian?" There can really be a few people who have the same heart as that thief. ”

There were many immigrants from China in the Goryeo Kingdom, and even a number of ministers in the court were Chinese. They have only crossed the ocean for more than 100 years, and their ancestral hometowns can be traced back to Zhejiang and Fujian. has always relied on the Great Song Dynasty to make money, and has nothing to do with the Liao State. Yelu Yixin attacked Goryeo to grab food, but he would not give them any benefit.

"Origins are insignificant, and when you enter Goryeo, you have already given up everything in China. This time it was just to help the Liao State loot, where would those maritime merchants have the slightest concern for the old feelings of their ancestors. ”

Kim Yi replied in response, and the speech of a famous Jae-suke was refuted, and he simply had the posture of arguing with a group of Confucians.

"Maritime merchants value profits and ignore old feelings, this may be true, but their weapons are not as good as the Great Song Dynasty, and their ships are not as good as the Great Song Dynasty, how much trouble can they cause?"

"For example, the coastal prefectures and counties of Zhejiang and Fujian, I don't know how many towns there are in Ludao, if they carry the Liao army south to invade, what should they do then?"

Such a ridiculous threat shows that Jin Yi is completely incapable of military affairs. Zhang Dian exchanged a look with the important minister beside him, and shook his head lightly.

Jin Yi only saw the young minister who had been standing between Zhang Dian and Xue Xiang who had not spoken and shook his head, and his heart suddenly cooled in half.

Although he has never opened his mouth on the vertical arch hall, and he is the youngest one, how can Jin Yi not know his identity?

It is in the bowl of the Liao State, the north courtyard, the south courtyard, and the three horizontal tents; The fifth, sixth, and twelfth rooms, when they hear his name, they must also be respectful, and dare not be half indecent.

I heard that because of his too little qualifications, he had just resigned from the post of privy deputy envoy and was unwilling to take up a substantive position, but as a famous marshal who had fought in the south and the north and had a record far above Zhangdun, it was impossible not to participate in affairs related to the Liao State.

As soon as Jin Yi entered the door of the vertical arch hall today, at least thirty percent of his attention was always on him. Judging from his deeds, he had a great influence on Empress Taishang at that time. Otherwise, he would not have to recruit the idle Xuanhui envoy to the palace.

Under normal circumstances, the Xuanhui envoy, who is high but not powerful, will not enter the vertical arch hall at all and discuss important military affairs with the eastern and western governments. With Jin Yi's many years of experience in officialdom, there is no important minister who is not jealous of the king's favor. Han Gang was recruited into the Vertical Arch Palace, presumably to be in preparation for an inquiry on his views on the war between the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo. But the other Zaifu will not have too much goodwill towards Han Gang's encroachment on their territory, but which side the Empress Taishang will stand on will have to be said for another time.

How can you convince this one?

Jin Yi is getting more and more embarrassed, and he hasn't opened his mouth once until now. It doesn't seem to have any intention of meddling.

That's a real problem. I don't care about the evaluation of the corpse vegetarian meal. Kim Yi thought.

But only by dragging him down and participating in this matter can he be able to convince him as much as possible, and then convince Queen Taishang.
