Putting Hao Jing's greetings on the table, Zhang Shijie's eyes couldn't help but fall on the stack of Song Daily in the corner of the table. After arriving in Lin'an, Zhao Jiaren's physical distance between the Song Dynasty officials was closer. Zhang Shijie, as the commander of the imperial guard, could finally get the official newspaper of the Political Affairs Hall of the Song Dynasty in a more simultaneous manner.

This newspaper with a format of the Song Dynasty's government newspaper is close to the 21st century. It has lead type and ink printing, two sheets, four pages and eight pages. It is full of news, editorials, and various popular science things. After Hao Jing came to Lin'an, the Song Dynasty Daily only published a very simple news, but this news means that Mongolia's attitude towards the Song Dynasty has changed.

Among all the officials of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Shijie was the first to meet Hao Jing. It was the time when Zhang Shijie was a Mongolian, and he followed Zhang Rou as a close friend. Hao Jing studied in the library of Zhang Rou. The two of them had met each other, and occasionally spoke and got a name. They had only one friendship. Later, Zhang Shijie committed an incident and ran to the Southern Song Dynasty to save his life and became the subordinate of Lu Wende.

This Zhang Rou is Kublai Khan's beloved general. Although he is a famous general, the most famous one is his ninth son Zhang Hongfan. Now Zhang Hongfan is a Mongolian marshal and has made great achievements in combat.

The old acquaintance came to visit, but Zhang Hongfan wanted to meet him, at least listen to what mission Hao Jing brought. However, he felt that it was inappropriate to do so. The position of the Imperial Army commander was not a high level, but his status was very high. This position symbolized "absolute loyalty", and the life and death of the official family was in the hands of the Imperial Army commander. Now it is not suitable to be publicized that the Imperial Army commander was not a native of the Song Dynasty.

But when Zhang Shijie thought of the mission brought by Hao Jing, he couldn't help it. So another thought came out. According to Zhao Jiaren's view, whether it was the Song Dynasty or the northern Han people in Mongolia, they were all Chinese, and it should be fine for two Chinese to meet. With this idea of ​​self-deception, Zhang Shijie invited Hao Jing in.

"General Zhang, you still have a good look after you haven't seen each other for many years." Hao Jing said to Zhang Shijie in northern dialect.

Listening to the familiar local accent, Zhang Shijie couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, he just smiled bitterly and asked Hao Jing to sit down. Hao Jing came up and said straight to the point: "This time, I am on the order of Your Majesty and want to appoint Zhao Jiaren as the Emperor of Song."

Zhang Shijie only felt his heart beating violently. He asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

Hao Jing first made a big statement to scare Zhang Shijie, and then he skillfully did not mention Zhao Jiaren's reaction, but changed direction, "General Zhang, for you, what harm does peace talks do to our two countries?"

When resisting Mongolia, Zhang Shijie had a strong attitude and will. However, because he was not in the rear, his attitude towards war was no different from those front-line soldiers. Nodded, Zhang Shijie replied: "Of course there is no harm."

After hearing Zhang Shijie's words of support for peace, Hao Jing felt a sense of joy. Then he heard Zhang Shijie continue to say, "If you cede the land and pay tribute, then forget it."

Now Hao Jing's mood plummeted. He asked Zhang Shijie angrily, "If you don't surrender, cede land and pay tribute, how can my great Mongolia feel that Song is sincerely seeking peace?"

Zhang Shijie asked without hesitation: "If we do not withdraw from our territory in the Song Dynasty and return the abducted people and finances of the Song Dynasty, how can we think that Mongolia really wants to negotiate peace?"

This is not Zhang Shijie's own opinion, but a request made at the Fuzhou meeting on the future of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Jiaren said it very clearly, "We can discuss what national interests are, but there is nothing to discuss on the issues of national interests that have been determined. All officials must abide by it. Whoever does not agree with it, whoever wants to come up with his own statement will get out immediately! Never hire it!"

Hao Jing wanted to play tricks, but he didn't expect that after hearing Hao Jing's words, Zhang Shijie confirmed that Zhao Jiaren's statement was not different from his request. It was not impossible for the Song Dynasty to discuss peace with Mongolia, but peace negotiations must be based on equal peace negotiations and based on peace negotiations in a non-aggressive state. It is probably confirmed that Zhao Jiaren did not violate the established regulations. Zhang Shijie felt that the curiosity in his heart was basically satisfied and suspected that he was released.

The next day, the Zhengshitang official newspaper, Dasong Daily, wrote an editorial on peace talks with Mongolia. The editorial believes that peace is not a bad thing for the Song Dynasty, but national interests cannot be harmed. Therefore, we will never accept the request of sanctions, cede land, and pay tribute. Peace can be discussed, but peace talks are by no means seeking peace! At the end of the editorial, it was strongly proposed, "When seeking peace by struggle, peace will exist; when seeking peace with compromise, peace will perish. What we want now is to launch a military counterattack against the Mongolian invaders and restore the territory of the Song Dynasty first!"

After reading this, I met Hao Jing again, and Zhang Shijie had a complete understanding of the current situation. Even though he knew that it would be difficult to fight back against Mongolia, Zhang Shijie did not feel that he was in power.

Zhao Jiaren was not just talking. Swords were the most effective means of communication with the Mongols. Although it was winter, the 30 battalions of Song troops still set out from Rizhao and Xuzhou, heading towards Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Shandong and Dezhou Prefecture in eastern Henan.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Kublai Khan again received news that the Song army was raging in Shandong. Guide Mansion was originally owned by the Song Dynasty, but was abandoned after the Battle of Xiangyang. The Song army only surrounded and annihilated hundreds of defending troops in Guide Mansion, and killed the Mongolian officials and Song rapists in Guide Mansion. Compared with the losses in Shandong, this loss in Guide Mansion was nothing at all.

The 200,000 main force in Mongolia was on both sides of the Yangtze River, and the Song army in Huaidong used its inside advantage to launch an attack. Shi Tianze originally knew Kublai Khan's mind. Once the Mongolian army in the Yangtze River Basin came back, the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty would probably end. Without saying that, Kublai Khan actually didn't want to give up the Yangtze River Basin at all. So he was reluctant to order the main force to return.

The current situation is no longer so hesitant. Either order the main force of Mongolia to return to defend against the Song army, or order the main force of Mongolia to fight with Zhao Jiaren in Jiangnan. Shi Tianze was in a dilemma among these two options.

"I ordered my personal army to go south." Kublai Khan said in an indignant tone.

"No!" Shi Tianze immediately expressed his objection.

"No!" Golden also expressed objection.

The Han ministers and Mongolian nobles looked at each other, and Shi Tianze spoke first, "Your Majesty, why use a ox knife to kill a chicken? If there is any mistake, most of them will open their doors."

Kublai Khan glared at Shi Tianze. Even though he knew that this was very reasonable, Kublai Khan did not feel good about it. After Shi Tianze finished speaking, Gorten said in Mongolian: "If the rebel from Haidu takes the opportunity to make a strange move, what kind of soldiers will the Khan use to attack him?"

Kublai Khan's expression became even more serious. Borjijin Hai was a member of the Golden Family, the grandson of Ogedei, and Borjijin Heshu's son. He once supported Alibuge to compete for the Khan throne with Kublai Khan. After Alibuge's failure, Haidu established the Ogedei Khanate in Xinjiang.

Alibuge or Haidu, the political concept is that "the Mongols should live the life of the Mongols", and they firmly oppose Kublai Khan's policy of sinicization. Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, and Torre and Mongol had the strength to give orders in various Khanate countries and tribes of Mongolia. Although Kublai Khan claimed to have inherited the status of his brother Mongol Khan, he should be the lord of the Mongols. But his so-called inheritance was not the traditional inheritance of the Mongols. If he followed the Mongolian tradition, the Khans and tribes of Mongolia would gather together and then jointly elect the Khan.

The father's business and son's inheritance, or the brother's end and brother's brother, are all the routines of the Han people. The Mongolian Khan must be elected by various Mongolian tribes at the conference. Kublai Khan, who did not have this procedure, was not recognized. Not only Haidu, but many Mongolians in the Han area even recognized Kublai Khan's power over them, but they believed that Kublai Khan's coming to power was not in line with the Mongolian rules.

Gorten fought with Zhao Jiaren's army, and he knew that he could not destroy Zhao Jiaren's army without paying a huge price. Needless to say, the Mongolian personal army under Kublai Khan failed, even if this personal army suffered a relatively large loss, a large number of Mongolians would rise up against Kublai Khan.

Even a thousand households understand the truth. How could a hero like Kublai Khan not understand? He was just going to send his personal army to speak out. The Mongolian Khan never expected that he pinched the neck of Song and beat him to death. Unexpectedly, after the Emperor of Song surrendered, Song showed his strength. From the result, Kublai Khan forced a powerful Song country, which made the Mongolian Khan feel unacceptable.

After all, the hero is a hero. Even though he was angry, Kublai Khan still issued a new order, "Tell Boyan that if he can fight with Song, he will fight with them. If he feels it is unnecessary, he will send troops back to provide assistance."

This edict was delivered to Marshal Boyan in an urgent manner in a hurry, so he started arguing under Marshal Boyan in Ezhou. Of course, Boyan himself felt that there was no need to fight any further, and Marshal A Shu also held the same view. Marshal Ali Hague has been in Hunan and Hubei, so he felt that he had to really compete with Zhao Jiaren.

Looking at the ugly faces of Boyan and A Shu, Ali Hague smiled and said, "Master, it is not necessary to fight Zhao Jiaren in the south of the Yangtze River. Please do not withdraw to the north first. I will take my deployment to Guide Mansion. After regaining Guide Mansion, continue to fight Zhao Jiaren eastward. If you can win, the Master can go down the river and attack on both sides."

This strategic idea is full of the style of the Mongols. When there is a large amount of losses to break through the defense line, the Mongols will choose to move. It is not a problem to go around two thousand miles on the motor. For such a plan, Boyan thought it was feasible. However, he told Ali Hague that if he couldn't do it, he would quickly reply. The Mongolian army has been out for several years now. Since there is no way to destroy the Song State and let the soldiers be assigned to the land on the spot, let everyone go home as soon as possible.
