"Taibao, Liang Yiqi's idea is really good." Han Yun sneered.

There are still a lot of Helan stones that have not been sold, but that can be handed over to various economic people to make a slow move, as long as the price can continue to be lowered, it will be fine. Therefore, after the price of Helan stone was quickly suppressed, Han Yun withdrew and came to Wang Ju's side to see if he could help. It really helped, and in the past three years, he has won a lot of victories, and he has also captured many leaders and nobles from all over Western Xia.

Wang Ju selected some people from them and sent them to Lanzhou for interrogation, such as the terrain of various places in Western Xia, the distribution of various ethnic groups, and the situation of each fort and city.

I have been interrogated before, but it is more sporadic and now it is being systematically re-interrogated.

Wang Ju definitely didn't have the kung fu to preside over the trial, so it happened to be handed over to Han Yun.

Then before next year's summer war, Wang Ju will get the most valuable information first-hand.

Han Yun said: "He thinks well, but doesn't he know that this national letter has the right to deal with it?" ”

As long as this letter of state is sent to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will be very passive, not to mention that some peaceful people in the country will compromise because of this, let's just say that the imperial court, once it agrees to negotiate peace, it will definitely not be able to cut down Xia next year. The Western Xia regarded the oath as bullshit, and the Song Dynasty regarded itself as China, and still attached great importance to the oath. It can even be said that at that time, the Liao State could help Western Xia in a righteous and bright way.

If the Song Dynasty does not agree, they all bow their heads to this, the Song Dynasty still has to fight, which will force the entire Western Xia tribes to hate the same enemy, once it reaches that point, it is impossible to destroy the Western Xia smoothly and quickly.

However, Liang Yikui was negligent in one point, that is, whether this national letter could be successfully delivered to the capital.

It must be delivered to Liu Changzuo first, and Liu Changzuo is not a fool. Therefore, it will be handed over to Wang Ju.

Wang Ju only had to give an order. It is enough to let the envoy go back to Western Xia with the national letter.

The Tanguts would also be angry. But the nature is the same, not to mention the grievances and grievances between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, Wang Ju's father was killed by the Western Xia people, and the ancestral grave of Wang Ju's family was cut open by the Xixia people. With such a deep hatred, Wang Ju did not let go of Xixia, and he was also willing. Besides, what did Wang Ju do in the northwest, it was to destroy Western Xia!

The Tanguts would be angry, but they would not be angry.

And now Western Xia is really pitiful. In the past three years, the Song Dynasty has almost ruined 400,000 troops, and the number of prisoners of war in the "labor reform" alone has reached 200,000!

Coupled with the expulsion of Yinxia, as well as the forced resettlement of some people to Weiyuan and Qingzhou, and the Song Dynasty took the Xiaochuan region, the Yinzhou region, the Huizhou region, Tiandu Mountain, and Quwu Mountain, Wang Ju estimated that there may only be 400,000 households in Western Xia now. Ding Zhuang is not even 600,000. And at least one percent of the number of households and Ding Zhuang, Western Xia could not be mobilized. Like the tribes of the desert.

The most fatal thing is that after all kinds of crippling, Western Xia completely lost the support of the people.

This is the most important thing, without the support of the people, no matter how many households in Western Xia are, it will not be enough to cause trouble.

Maybe this sad card can unite some people's hearts, but it won't play a big role.

So Han Yun said again: "Taibao, don't let them bring this letter to the capital." ”

Wang Ju walked a few steps, and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of Liao?" ”

"Liao ......" Han Yun was stunned.

"Are you afraid that once we attack Xia in front, the Liao Kingdom will use troops against our dynasty in the back?"

"That's ......" Han Yun didn't dare to speak.

"Brother Han, come with me." Wang Ju took Han Yun to the barracks outside the city, where the three armies were drilling.

"Brother Han, in fact, the soldiers of our dynasty are not as weak as the scholars imagined, if the logistics of the Liao army, the ability of the main generals is equivalent to that of our army, this battlefield does not take into account the people of the people and the geographical advantages of the terrain, placed on the Shaanxi Road, the victory rate of our army will be more than seventy percent."

"So tall?"

"It wasn't that high, but after a series of big wins, it's that high. However, the strongest army of our dynasty is the western army, and if we push the battle line forward a lot and push it to the Hetao to fight, the victory rate of our dynasty can only reach 60%. ”

"Why?"

"The same high-pitched terrain, this side is dominated by warm and humid weather, and that side is dominated by dry and cold weather, and our army is not very adaptable to it when we get there. Just as I did not dare to use troops on the Tibetan Plateau on the two roads in Yunnan, because if I went any further, the three armies could not adapt to the weather on the plateau, and in terminology, they were not suitable for the kind of oxygen-deficient environment. Therefore, the western army will play worse when it reaches Hedong and Hebei, so once this battlefield is placed in Hedong, our army can only have a 40% victory rate. If it is placed in Hebei, there is only a 30% winning rate. ”

"So low?"

"Hedong Hebei has more heroes and heroes since ancient times, but it was a war, the people have been tempered by the war, and now the two roads are peaceful for a long time, the people are not used to fighting, and the mobilization of the western army in the past, and not very adaptable, so the victory rate has declined rapidly. When, this means that under the premise that all conditions are similar, if the army of the DPRK uses the fortress to contend with the Liao State, it can at least remain equal. However, if there is an accident in the rear, and a few more doctors who don't understand the blind command, there will be a big rest. ”

This is the fairest evaluation.

The Song army was not so weak, and the Liao army was not weak either.

Although at the beginning of this summer, the Liao State was pitted by Lu Hui very hard, but when fighting head-on, you will still see the strong combat effectiveness of the Liao army, which is not the same as it showed when Wanyan Aguta rose in history. Although it may have also begun to become corrupt, on the whole, it is still a little higher than the overall strength of the Song army. Of course, no matter how strong the army is, it still depends on the command of the main general, the main general is incompetent, even if the Tang army in the early Tang Dynasty is handed over to him to command, it will still fail miserably.

"Let's put it this way, if the Western Xia is successfully taken, even if the Liao State sends troops, I won't worry. But I'm afraid that if I send troops to Western Xia in front and Liao in the back, there will be many variables. ”

There is also a good example in Wang Ju's mind, such as the self-defense counterattack of the second ancestor, the Vietnamese monkey actually said that the **** was defeated, so this group of people, Wang Ju hated it very much, they are not as good as the group of Ah San in the southwest, and if they are defeated, they are defeated.

However, this statement was produced because the **** army did not take Hanoi at that time, and if Hanoi was taken, the Vietnamese monkeys would not be able to raise their heads, and they would not dare to run rampant in the future.

However, it is not that the second ancestor has made a mistake in command. It's that there's a bigger neighbor behind it. Self-defense counterattack is OK. But how to take Hanoi may lead to more consequences, and the original intention was just to teach this monkey a lesson, not to possess this monkey, so he took it when he saw it and withdrew his troops back.

Of course, the situation is a little better now than it was then, at least now the Song Dynasty is richer and stronger. At that time, the **** had no money, no technology, and even weapons were very backward, but the Soviet Union was at its peak, one of the top two in the world.

There is another example, what will happen if **** storms Wanwan? There are two situations, if Wanwan is taken within a month, with the virtue of US imperialism, it will be discussed repeatedly, then there will be no time to react and deploy. The rice has become porridge, and the US imperialists are helpless. If you can't get it within a month. U.S. imperialism and the Japanese are likely to participate.

But there is a trouble in the Liao State, after all, the US imperialists suffered a lot on the Korean battlefield, although the Liao State suffered some hardships, but it was not big, and because of the cowardice of the Song Dynasty scholars, many people in the Liao State lived in a dream.

Therefore, in Wang Ju's imagination, it is more likely that the Liao State will send troops, but if the Song army quickly takes down the Western Xia, without the cooperation of the Western Xia, Wang Ju will not be afraid. What he is afraid of is a war on both sides, and Wang Ju can't predict the consequences.

"In order to deceive the Liao State, I said that if I came down to rectify the border, I would also give the Western Xia some lessons and heavy blows, but it was not to destroy the Western Xia. However, Liang Yiqi has written some humiliating national letters, and I still drove the envoy out of my border, and the news reached Liao, will Liao still believe what I say? ”

"That's right...... It seems that this Liang Yiqi is not stupid, but it is a little difficult to do. ”

"He can control Western Xia, how can he be a fool, it's just that this person has forgotten his ancestors, so as a Han Chinese, he is the scum who hates the Han people the most, so he is the most dethroned."

"So what now?"

"Agreed."

"Agreed?"

"What if you don't agree? But I suddenly understood one thing, in fact, he did a very smart job this time, but being smart was mistaken by being smart, so he did another thing to add to the snake. ”

"What?"

"Do you still remember the information sent by Liu Changzuo and the Seed Master Dao a few days ago?"

"It turned out to be Liang Yiqi......"

"I had guessed it might be him, and now I can prove it. Therefore, this credential has become a good thing. ”

Wang Ju couldn't say it clearly, but Han Yun already understood. Wang Ju left the barracks with Han Yun again and came to the bank of the Yellow River, the weather had cooled down, and the river was dashing. Wang Ju looked at the rolling river and said, "Brother Han, I have a matter of indecision, do you remember the order I issued the day before yesterday?" ”

"Is that the sapling order?"

"Exactly."

"This order will be controversial, and it will not be seriously implemented in the future, but it will not be too controversial." Han Yun commented.

This order was issued by the former Tianwang Ju, who informed the entire territory of Shaanxi Road that if someone felled trees in the future, for each tree felled, more than ten saplings must be loaded in the previous year, and at least ten saplings must be kept alive before the next year of logging, and then after paying the relevant taxes, they can cut down trees to build houses, or traffic for profit.

If it was in the early Song Dynasty, there would have been some people who would have resisted this order, but the Yellow River has been flooded and diverted many times, coupled with Wang Ju's several mentions of this deterioration of water and soil, think about the Dafeichuan that was so rich in the past, what does it look like now?

Let's talk about the battle of Dafeichuan, on Qinling's use of 400,000 troops to defeat Xue Rengui, these 400,000 troops are mostly Tuyuhun soldiers from Wuhai and Dafeichuan, but now, if all the people of Wuhai and Dafeichuan are added, even if the babies are added together, there will not be 400,000 people.

Therefore, there will be some timber merchants who will reject, and there will not be too many people who are excluded, but they will not be seriously implemented, otherwise it will have a great effect on the protection of water and soil on Shaanxi Road, so that Han Yun didn't care too much about it after seeing it.

"Actually, I was going to issue two orders at the same time, but the second order always made me hesitate."

"Embarrassed?"

"It's a bit of a dilemma."

That is the tax, the people of Xihe Road began to pay two taxes, and at the same time, the city law was also abolished, so Huangzhou Road also had to pay two taxes.

Crops are taxed ten times and one is one, because most areas can only be planted for one season, so after Wang Ju came to Hezhou, he simply stipulated that the tax per mu in the upper field was two buckets, one and a half buckets in the middle field, and one bucket in the lower fields. The rest is livestock, and in the Central Plains, livestock is not taxed regardless of property, and most of the tribes here are mainly engaged in livestock, so they must not be copied, so it is still ten taxes and one. One for every ten sheep. Cattle grow more slowly. One for every twenty horses, one for every fifty horses.

The rest of the government revenue is mainly based on commercial taxes.

After Wang Ju came to Hezhou, he repeatedly stated that in addition to these taxes, no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes should be levied in any name, and all tribes also had the right to refuse to pay any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

In addition to this tax, there are also strong men and strong horses.

Strong horses are reserved, and there will be wars in the future. For example, the internal rebellion, some small tribes in the surrounding areas under extreme poverty, came to harass, especially in the Hexi Corridor, most of the Liao State will not send a large army to invade, it is too far away, but there are Gaochang Uighurs and Black Khan around, and there are divination people in the north, maybe the Liao State instigated them to come and invade. Therefore, in addition to the officers and soldiers and border soldiers, it is also necessary to keep some strong horses in moderation.

And then the strongman. But only ten Ding Zhuang can recruit one strongman. And there are a lot of restrictions, you have to be able to have the material, and you have to be between twenty and forty years old. But in the future, they are not used to fight, but to assist the government in transportation, or to build forts, or to cooperate with the government to prevent thieves and thieves, that is, to play the role of Baoding, van soldiers and short-term service. The annual service period shall not exceed three months, although this service period is somewhat long, but the household is exempt from all two taxes, and the imperial court will also pay five yuan of salary every year, which is used for the cost of raising horses, or a subsidy for the strongman to delay his work.

Using this adjustment, the original system of integrating soldiers and civilians in Tibet was gradually replaced, and they were all ordinary people, so don't think about the soldiers, and don't think about the weapons fighting, and slowly everyone will become more and more unfamiliar with the impression of the battlefield, so Hehuang will become quieter and quieter.

There is no problem with the latter article, the problem is the first.

In the past, the ministries of Huangzhou did not pay taxes, but it does not mean that the people of the various ministries in Huangzhou are heaven, because most of the property of the ministries is controlled in the hands of the leaders, and it can only be said that these leaders are not as harsh as the leaders of Kuixia Road.

In addition, each time in battle, most of the weapons, horses, and grain and grass of each soldier were brought by themselves.

Although Xihe Road was the same before, after the Song Dynasty implemented the two taxes, although the taxes were not high, and even the officials did not dare to levy any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it also led to the resistance of the people of all ethnic groups in Xihe Road.

Not to mention that Huangzhou Road has recently been recovered, and the people are not as close to the Song Dynasty as they are on Xihe Road.

If you want to eradicate it, unless you do what Wang Ju did in Yunnan Lianglu, fight the local tyrants and change the land to the stream. But doing this on Huangzhou Road is looking for death.

"Taibao, this really can't be rushed, it's best to delay it for two years, with the benefits of various policies, the people will pay attention, and the taxes will not be heavy, so it will be implemented naturally. As for the Qiang Department on the Xihe Road, if they have opinions, they can also use war to inflict disability, and the people are not able to make a living, so they have to rest and recuperate for two or three years. ”

"It seems so, but two years later, I'll be on the other side."

"And Your Majesty's ......" Han Yun suddenly stopped talking, there is Zhao Xuan, but with Zhao Xuan's condition and body, if he says that he will fall, he will fall, and then in the future, it will be Gao Tao who will be in power. As long as she comes to power, the important ministers of the court will take half of it, maybe even the border soldiers will be replaced together, and at that time, the tax will suddenly be implemented in Huangzhou, and there will be no one to deter it, which may lead to chaos in Huangzhou, and Wang Ju's hard work will also be ruined. If the tax continues to be not levied, for a long time, the Xihe Road Fan and Qiang will not be satisfied, and there will also be problems.

"This queen mother, is she so ignorant?"

"It probably is." Wang Judao. Don't talk about Sima Guang's big send, in fact, this big send-off is two people, one is Sima Guang, and the other is Gao Taotao. In this time and space in history, there are two female madmen, one is Xiao Liang, and the other is Gao Taotao. But Xiao Liang is crazy internally and even more crazy externally, Gao Taotao is only crazy about his son, crazy about his grandson, crazy about the Song Dynasty, but he is as soft as a mess of mud externally.

"Taibao, it's really not good, let's execute it after destroying the Western Xia next year, there are too many variables in execution this year, once the rebellion breaks out, it will also affect next year's summer plan."

Next year is not a good time, the attack on Lingzhou Xingqing Mansion has nothing to do with the Tubo army, but the attack on the Hexi Corridor, this cheap army, will be used, so that more troops can be drawn to prevent the Liao State.

However, after the great victory, the imperial court did not reward it, but a tax came to the people, so how did the people of the ministries think in their hearts? Rabbit dead dog cooked!

"We'll see." Wang Ju sighed.

Then Wang Ju went back, first writing to Liu Changzuo, and then to Kumamoto, Seed Master Dao and Guo Cheng.

Guo Cheng is the new Yinzhou Zhizhou, after taking Yinzhou, Wang Ju canceled the original Western Xia arrangement, restored the Tang Dynasty arrangement, Suide Army changed to Suizhou, Huaining Village changed to Suide County. Futu Village was changed to Funing County. Mizhi Village was changed to Yanfu County. The original sites of each county seat are not in one place. And in the Tang Dynasty, North Suizhou, which is now Funing County, belongs to the jurisdiction of Yinzhou, and at the same time, Suizhou also has Chengping County, Dabin County, here is Xiaosanchuankou, it was very prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, densely populated, and there were many counties. But now it's all gone, but it doesn't matter. The reason why the names of the counties of the Tang Dynasty were restored shows that this place has finally returned to the embrace of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Yinzhou is still Yinzhou, but the military city of the Shenyong Military Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia has been changed to Kaiguang County, Shizhou has been changed to Zhenxiang County, and Longzhou has been changed to Ningshuo County. Yincheng County was placed on the west side of the Quye River, which was under the jurisdiction of Linzhou like the Tang Dynasty, but the Jinning army placed in the second year of Yuan Fu disappeared.

Then, at the suggestion of Wang Ju, the imperial court became the governor of Yinzhou with Guo, and at the same time, Yao Gu and Wang Guangzhen were also transferred to the past.

After the letter was sent away, Wang Ju issued another order. Twelve passages were opened along the entire Song-Xia border, allowing merchants from the two countries to trade back and forth. However, there was a rule that the merchants of the Song Dynasty could trade with the Tangut people with cloth, tea, porcelain and other commercial goods, but they were not allowed to trade any iron and grain, otherwise no matter who they were, they would be killed.

Iron tools can increase the weapons of the Tanguts.

Food would allow the Tanguts to survive this crisis.

And let everyone understand its importance, Wang Ju also deliberately said one thing, the end of the Song-Xia War in Qinglong, the Xixia people were embarrassed, eating bark and leaves, eating Guanyin soil, that's it, and defeated the 100,000 army of Liao!

There is a deeper reason, although there are many areas in Western Xia that are desert Gobi, but Sui, Yin, Xia, You, Yan, Ling, Xing, Lan, Liang, Gan, Su, Sha, Hui, as well as Beihetao and Juyanhai, most of these areas are places with abundant water and grass, and most of the areas are better than Yanzhou, even if the conditions in Yanzhou are a little more difficult, there are still the benefits of green salt, but so many good places, because of the poor army, the population of the whole country has never exceeded 800,000 households. In other words, before the defeat of Yongle City, there were only 50,000 households in Yanzhou, which were not counted in the household register. Let's look at Huazhou, where the water and soil conditions are almost the same, there are nearly 90,000 households! In the same state, 80,000 households! Yaozhou, nearly 110,000 households! is in Shangzhou, where the conditions are so poor, there are still 70,000 households!

But under the leadership of a group of big hooligans, these Tangut people have also become a group of small hooligans, so the whole country, most of them have been supporting the Tangut repeated invasions of the Song Dynasty, so they will not die if they are not starved to the point of starvation.

Later, Wang Ju ordered Liu Changzuo and the seed master to join the troops of the two roads, as well as the people adjacent to the two roads, to take advantage of the fact that the ice and snow had not blocked the road, and sent troops to Yanzhou again, and then transported it back to Qingyan and dumped it in the surrounding areas.

Still for food, without green salt, Helan stone is worthless, and if you want to exchange it for the commercial goods of the Song Dynasty, you have to exchange livestock and fur, and the livestock are replaced, and the Xixia people are even more short of food.

Wang Ju did not expect all the merchants of the Song Dynasty to be patriotic, but he believed that the merchants of the Western Xia Dynasty would not be patriotic either.

It was getting colder.

The return of Yao Xiong's army, the line went relatively smoothly, and the grass-headed Tatars stopped in the west, because the supply could not keep up (located in the upper reaches of the Shule River, although it is called the grass-headed Tartary, in fact, its land lacks grass and millet), and further on is the territory of the yellow-headed Uighurs (the yellow-headed Uighurs are on the west side of the grass-headed Tartary, and some people regard the grass-headed Tatars as the yellow-headed Uighurs, which is not right, and I also saw an article, because the Gaochang Uighurs, that is, the Xizhou Uighurs, like the yellow-headed Uighurs, and say that the yellow-headed Uighurs are the Xizhou Uighurs, which is also not true, The Uighurs of Gaochang are still in the northwest of the Huangtou Uighurs, because their kings like to call themselves the kings of Shizi, so the Liao State also calls them the Shizi Kingdom), compared with the Caotou Tatar tribes, there are some rivers on the south and west sides of Qinghai Lake, and the water and soil conditions are also a little better, so the Achai tribes are slightly denser than the Caotou Tatars.

However, like the grass-headed Tatars, because of the deterioration of the soil and water, the various tribes could not be linked together, and they could not form a strong force, and these tribes were also mainly nomadic, living in pursuit of water and grass, but because of the influence of the terrain, the range of activities was not large.

Therefore, Wang Ju asked Yao Xiong to find out these tribes one by one, and then ordered them to send envoys to Huangzhou City to meet Chongyi, not Wang Ju, Wang Ju was in Lanzhou, and the military affairs of several states in Huangzhou were also handed over to Chongyi to deal with.

In addition, they were given an order, the future is the management of the bondage, but each Ding Zhuang must plant more than ten trees every year, the current Tubo people are not excluded, and even many Tubo people "environmental awareness" is very advanced, the battle of Baicheng, some tribes in Hezhou took the initiative to cooperate with the ghost chapter, and it was the Song Dynasty after getting Hezhou, the exclusion of the introduction of large-scale cutting of trees.

After coming to Huangzhou City, they will explain the situation of each department, including the number of accounts, the scope of activities, customs and people, etc., and then according to their situation, they will distribute some sickles, hoes, iron rakes, iron pots and other iron tools, and even in the future, some old farmers will be sent to plant seeds and grass seeds, teach them to farm, or try to graze.

It will cost a little money, but not too much, so that it can protect the deteriorating water and soil of Dafeichuan to some extent, and it will be determined that the imperial court will be able to gradually manage it in the future.

Although large-scale fixed farming will also destroy water and soil, it is better than large-scale nomadic herding. It can only be like this, if you want to be like the other side, not only to fix the cultivation and grazing, but also to strictly limit the number of livestock per unit area, that is impossible to achieve in the entire Song Dynasty.

However, there were two other tribes that were unruly and were quickly suppressed by Yao Xiong.

Soon, Lin Guang also returned with a large army.

During this time, he took the army and prisoners of war, and used money to trade goods, mobilized the local people, built several forts, and by the way, also widened the roads along the way, which is equal to the northeast of Qinghai Lake, and is also included in the territory of Shanzhou's direct control.

Shanzhou is the Qingtang City, the Tang Dynasty's Shanxian County, the original Shanzhou is on the north bank of Huangzhou City, after Tong Guan won the Qingtang City in history, it was changed to the Xining Army, but it is just a name, it doesn't matter, the reason why the old name of the Tang Dynasty is used is actually a metaphor for the Song Dynasty will be strong in the future.

It's just that although there are rivers and vast rivers in this area, they are located in the upper reaches, the river is small, there are no tributaries, and the population is also sparse.

And although it is sparsely populated, it will reduce conflict in the future.

As Wang Ju met with the envoys sent by the Liangzhou and Ganzhou departments, and even the envoys from Suzhou, because the prisoners of war were not only the prisoners of war in front of Pingxi Fort and the prisoners of war captured by Wang Wenyu in Liangzhou, but also many soldiers from various departments of the Hexi Corridor were captured by the Song army and became prisoners of war in the previous several defeats in Western Xia.

These tribes were not together, and not all the clan leaders were released by Wang Ju, many of them died in battle, and the distance between the tribes and Lanzhou was different, so they came intermittently.

It is impossible for Wang Ju to meet them every day, every ten days, let these leaders get together, and then only say a few words, for the tiger, should be punished!

Don't think that punishment is harming your children, on the contrary, this is protection in disguise, release these fighters now, won't you fight in the future? If you fight, you will die, and our warriors of the Great Song Dynasty will also die your people.

I will definitely release it, and when it happens, it will be released according to your performance.

What is the matter, Wang Ju did not say it explicitly, but he understands it, that is, the Song army has arrived, you must cooperate obediently, and you must not resist, otherwise the prisoners of war belonging to your clan will be reformed through labor forever, and maybe they can be sold to various pits and mines as mining slaves in exchange for a few dollars.

Wang Ju still said these few words, and when he finished speaking, he sent someone to take these leaders down.

However, the capital was also stupid, the Western Xia envoy took this letter of state, and hurriedly came to the capital, this time the two summer envoys were very low-key and honest, not as arrogant as before, and then presented the letter of state.

The simple truth is clear to everyone, this national letter is clearly a problem for the Song Dynasty.

Cai Bian said puzzledly: "How did the Taibao agree to allow the Xia envoy to come to the capital with this national letter?" (To be continued.) )
