On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the Song Dynasty, the Zhao official family announced in the Song Dynasty that the Song Dynasty would recover the Hebei Plain and regain the northern passes in the next two years.

In the end, Zhao Jiaren expressed his vision, "Once this goal is completed, there will be two lines of defense between Hebei and the Yellow River south of the Song Dynasty, becoming a safe rear. Redeveloping Henan again will officially begin."

Finally entering the stage of fully developing Henan, Zhao Jiaren was very excited. In the 21st century, there were nearly 200 million people living on the Huanghuai Plain, and now the Song Dynasty has only 80 million people. It is hard to leave its hometown, and Zhao Jiaren does not expect the number of immigrants to exceed 10 million. In Zhao Jiaren's view now, the deserted Henan is like the vast central and western part of the United States, which represents expectations and hope.

No one of the ministers raised objections. Whether the temple is correct depends on the degree of rationality. The ministers did not find the objection.

"I announce that from now on, the Song Dynasty will officially enter a state of war." Zhao Jiaren gave the order.

The news of the recovery of Chang'an had already made the Song Dynasty feel the atmosphere of war. However, Zhao Jiaren officially announced the beginning of the war, which still made everyone feel refreshed. Liu Meng immediately shouted: "The Song Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

With Liu Meng taking the lead, the ministers shouted "The Song Dynasty is victorious!"

Zhao Jiaren looked at the reactions of the ministers calmly, calm and calm.

Just the second day after Zhao Jiaren announced that he had entered the state of war, most Mongolia first sent people to Jinan, and then borrowed the telegram system of the Song Dynasty to send a telegram to the Mongolian ambassador to the Song Dynasty. The content of the telegram was to ask the Mongolian ambassador to the Song Dynasty to discuss with the Song Dynasty to return the nobles of the Song Dynasty. The telegram mentioned that Mongolia could now send the former Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing of the Song Dynasty back.

The intelligence agency soon sent the news to Zhao Jiaren. There were still several problems below the information sent by the liaison officer of the State Intelligence Administration. The first one was naturally to doubt whether the Mongolians had any tricks. If you were to send such a clear message, wouldn’t you worry that the Song Dynasty would know the news? The second was to doubt how many people the Mongolians were preparing to return. After all, those people were nobles of the Song Dynasty and could be used as bargaining chips at any time.

After receiving the telegram, the Mongolian envoy immediately executed Dadu's orders. They went to the counterpart department of Rites to talk about the matter. Xiong Shang, the Minister of Rites, did not express any words after hearing this, but just said calmly, "I understand. I don't know when Mongolia will give it to others."

"Don't you even express your gratitude for the Song Dynasty?" The Mongolian ambassador's voice was full of anger.

Xiong Shang didn't know whether this anger was true or false, so he didn't care about it. While the Zhao official family decided to fight against Mongolia, the life and death of the captured nobles of the Song Dynasty were completely out of consideration. The behavior of these nobles was tantamount to treason. If the previous standards for the trial of Song traitors, these people would undoubtedly have to be imprisoned for leaving their posts without permission.

"I have heard of Temujin's wife and Shu Chi. Has Temujin thanked their enemies for their stump?" Shangshu Xiong Shang expressed his attitude to the Mongolian envoy without hesitation.

When Temujin married Borte, the leader of the three surnames, Tuhetuoah, the leader of the three surnames, was avenged by his brother Chiledu's fiancée, and raided Temujin's camp in order to avenge his brother Chiledu's fiancée, the father of Temujin, and raided Temujin's camp. During the melee, Temujin fled into Buerhan Mountain (now Mount Kent), but his wife and half-mother became prisoners of Tuhetuoah. By the time of rescue, Borte was pregnant, and the word "Shuchi" means "guest". Therefore, from the beginning of his birth, people have been suspicious of Shuchi's bloodline, especially his second brother Chagatai and third brother Ogedei often conflict with him.

As for the leader of the three surnames, Tuhetuo'a, Temujin has been hunting him down. After Genghis Khan established a tribal alliance, this has always been the case. After establishing a tribal alliance, Temujin took the Weilats as the guide to Zhiye'er's Thunder River. Tuhetuo'azhong died of arrows and his subordinates collapsed, and most of the Thunder River drowned. His sons Hutu, Chi Laowen, Chi Youke, Hutuhan's Thunder River could not get the whole body of his father. He sent his head to go and ran to Weiwuer. Weiwuer did not accept it, and fought with Jitu and others in the Braishe and chased him. Hutu and others ran to Qinzhan.

Afterwards, Temujin continued to chase and kill for eight years. Taizu ordered that he would not conquer him, and used iron nails to spread the wheels to make a mountain. He returned to Huchaer and led two thousand cavalry to go to Chuhe River, and wiped out all his people, captured Hutuhan Mie's roots alive, and sent them to Shuchi. Shuchi's shooting, the first arrow was in the first arrow, and the second arrow was in the first arrow, and the second arrow was in the first arrow, and the other arrow was in the first arrow, and the other arrow was in the first arrow, and the other arrow was in the first arrow, and the other arrow was in the first arrow, and the other arrow was in the first arrow, and the other arrow was in the first arrow, and the other arrow was in the first arrow, and they were also in the first arrow. Shuchi was very happy and sent a letter to Taizu and asked for forgiveness. Taizu said, "I beg for my deep hatred. I will be a good enemy. I will be a good enemy. I will be a future trouble."

Although Shuchi wanted to pardon the three surnames, Meierqiti tribe, Temujin would never let this tribe go. In the end, he wiped it out.

However, beyond Xiong Shang's surprise, the Mongolian ambassador looked confused and seemed to have no idea about this matter. Looking at the Mongolian ambassador's expression, Xiong Shang felt helpless. It was obvious that the Song Dynasty did better than Mongolia itself. However, when it comes to Zhao Guanjia's evaluation of the "civilization standard", Xiong Shang was relieved. Zhao Guanjia believes that the standard of civilization is whether he understands history.

The Song Dynasty was able to record the story of "Candle Light and Axe Shadow". Although there are many different explanations for the Candle Light and Axe Shadow, at least there are such records in the Song Dynasty. For example, what Zhao Guan family did, there are daily notes and various official records. There are also many personal records, such as Xiong Shang himself wrote many of his personal opinions in his diary. If Zhao had something similar to Shu Chi, the scholars and officials would never have known it.

But for the Mongols, it is obviously not a civilized country. If you don’t even know the history of your own country, it can only be said that there is a problem with civilization itself.

Of course, Secretary Xiong Shang also suspected that the Mongolian envoy's expression was because he pretended to be stupid. Therefore, Secretary Xiong put the topic back to the specific issue, "Former Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing, whether you are willing to return or not is your business. If it is returned, we will accept it. If it is not returned, it doesn't matter."

In the view of Xiong Shang, the Minister of Rites, the former Empress Dowager was 72 years old and could not live long. He returned Xie Daoqing after his death to the Song Dynasty and the living Xie Daoqing to the Song Dynasty. Even if Xie Daoqing only lived for a few days after he came back, the whole meaning was completely different. No matter from any perspective, the benefit was Mongolia, so Xiong was too lazy to discuss it.

"You Han people are so cold!" The Mongolian ambassador said to Xiong Shang. After that, the Mongolian ambassador observed Xiong Shang's expression. Seeing Xiong Shang's indifferent look, the Mongolian ambassador Qi asked discouragedly: "Shangshu Xiong. Is this war necessary to be fought?"

Xiong Shang nodded, "That's right."
