The first thousand one hundred and eighty-two chapters
Li Qi's words made Pu Zhiqian feel elated, as if he had crawled out of the abyss. His joy was beyond words, and he quickly asked: "How do you say this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "We have been allies long ago, and we have always had arms trade. Although we cannot send troops, we can provide help with weapons. I am not bragging, Li Qi. This time our Song Dynasty can defeat the Jin Dynasty."
country, five of them have achieved success, and they are undoubtedly these new weapons. If you can ask Japan to send troops to help, coupled with the assistance we provide, I believe you will be able to help your country resist the attack of the Jin Kingdom."
Park Zhiqian frowned and said: "I am very confident about your country's weapons, but---but how many people can Japan produce?"
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, you don't know enough about our new weapons. I can say this, it is much more powerful than you think. Moreover, Japan does not need to send too many people. I guess
About ten thousand people are enough. Their sending troops, more importantly, gives us a reason to send out weapons. Have you forgotten that you also have a natural danger?"
Park Zhiqian said uncertainly: "Are you talking about the Yalu River?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Exactly, the Jin soldiers are not good at water warfare. Their shortcomings in this aspect have been fully exposed in this attack on the Song Dynasty. As long as your country is determined to defend, we will send out ships and weapons and set off from Laizhou, led by Japanese samurai.
Going to the Yalu River, we can even secretly send some generals who are good at water warfare to take command. Unless the Jin Kingdom can fill up the Yalu River, otherwise, they will not dare to cross the river at all. Even if they cross secretly, then their supplies will
We can't keep up. We may even be like the Song Dynasty who sent troops this time, and the entire army was wiped out."
The more Pu Zhiqian listened, the more excited he became. On the way here, he had already understood the details of the Jin army's attack on the Song Dynasty. He also knew that the entire Jin army was wiped out because of the danger of the Yellow River. They could completely replicate this war.
, and with the support of Song Dynasty and Japan, it is not impossible to do it. The bitter face finally showed a smile, and he humbly said: "The Privy Council's plan is very clever, but our relationship with Japan is mediocre.
I hope the Privy Council can help."
Li Qidao: "Don't worry, I will help if I can. Moreover, the Japanese envoy will come to Beijing soon to congratulate him. He should arrive in the next few days. I will arrange for you to meet then. However, there is something I have to say.
, Japan will not sacrifice 10,000 lives to help you Korea just because of my personal feelings, you must also show some sincerity."
Pu Zhiqian nodded and said: "Of course, of course, I understand."
"Okay. We'll talk about the specific process after the Japanese envoy arrives."
"Yes, we can leave everything to the Privy Councilor."
"No, no, actually we are very sorry for not being able to directly help your country."
...
After the meeting with Park Zhiqian, Li Qi immediately rushed to the palace and reported to Zhao Kai.
After hearing this, Zhao Kai had a trace of doubt in his brows and said: "If we just send out weapons, I can agree to it. However, you should also know that Goryeo has always adopted a foreign policy of protecting the country. Do you think they can be worthy of it?"
Do you trust me?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "As far as I know, Goryeo has always looked down on the Jin Kingdom. In their eyes, the Jin Kingdom is just barbarians and barbarians. Therefore, they are unwilling to surrender to the Jin Kingdom. But what the emperor said is also true.
Yes, Goryeo has always been soft. Once they are oppressed, they are likely to succumb. But as long as we can help them win from the beginning, Goryeo will be more confident in fighting and will be more dependent on us. In this way
Come, our goal will be achieved."
Zhao Kai said: "Then are you sure you can stop the Jin army?"
Li Qi said confidently: "I am very sure about this. If the Jin State had captured Kaifeng, then Goryeo would have surrendered. However, the defeat of the Jin State also gave Goryeo hope, and the Jin State's insistence on going its own way also made Goryeo
Their integrity has been greatly affected, and Goryeo will definitely worry about whether he will follow in our footsteps. These worries will also make Goryeo not to be easily captured.
The Jin Kingdom is now exhausted. I guess they just want to scare Goryeo and force Goryeo to surrender. If Goryeo does not agree, the most they can do is send troops to fight for a while and achieve a strategic victory to oppress Goryeo.
, As long as Goryeo is determined to fight this war, and with the help of us and Japan, it will be difficult for the Jin Kingdom to win this war without the determination to destroy Goryeo."
"Well, what you said makes sense. The Jin Kingdom does not dare to act rashly now. If they consume a lot of money in Goryeo, the balance between the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty will definitely be broken. As long as Goryeo does not surrender, no matter what, the Jin Kingdom will
This country's diplomatic strategy is definitely lost." Zhao Kai said with a slight smile on his lips, and said: "But are you sure you can convince Japan?"
Li Qidao: "The Japanese samurai also need the support of Goryeo very much. As long as Goryeo promises to provide enough help to the Japanese samurai in the future, I don't think the Japanese samurai group will refuse. In fact, the biggest winner here is our Song Dynasty. The geographical location of Goryeo makes
We must win over them. Even if Japan does not help, we must come forward to help.
Japan's gold and silver are also urgently needed by the Song Dynasty, but the Japanese court is proud and complacent and does not want to interact with us. Instead of putting down its face and making friends with the Japanese court, it is better to support a new regime. Then I think that when the time comes,
We must also send troops to help the Japanese samurai to overthrow the Japanese aristocracy. If we can convince Japan to send troops to support Goryeo with us and let Goryeo owe Japan a favor, then when we send troops to help the Japanese samurai, we can also ask Goryeo to support us.
Food, this will undoubtedly greatly reduce our burden. In addition, if the Jin Kingdom really sends troops to Goryeo, Xixia can take the opportunity to declare independence. Relying on the containment of Goryeo, Xixia, Japan, oh, and maybe Yelu Dashi, we will take the opportunity to pacify the south first, and then
The entire diplomatic strategy at that time will achieve complete victory."
"good!"
Zhao Kai laughed and said: "In the beginning, Jin Taizu used this strategy to play with the people of the world, including our Song Dynasty. Now it is time for them to taste the pain of it."
.......
On the third day of Park Zhiqian's arrival in Beijing, the Japanese envoys had already arrived in Beijing. They were still the same old faces, Fujiyoshi Miki, Iga Momokawa, and Taira Takero of the Taira clan. In fact, Li Qi did not invite them to discuss important matters.
, I just sent someone to tell them that our new emperor had ascended the throne. They naturally understood and rushed to Bianjing immediately.
Similarly, after they arrived, they first entered the palace to congratulate Zhao Kai. This time, Zhao Kai received them. First, because they had no hostility to the Jin Kingdom. Second, Zhao Kai had to personally express his appreciation for their warrior spirit.
Because he had just taken office, Iga Baichuan and others did not know him very well. Thirdly, Zhao Kai also vaguely expressed the Song Dynasty's willingness to promote contacts with your warrior group.
Sure enough, Iga Baichuan and others were very moved when they saw the new emperor of the Song Dynasty treating them with such courtesy. He was really much better than the nobles of their country.
After the meeting with Zhao Kai, Iga Baichuan and others were full of confidence in the new regime of the Song Dynasty.
But Zhao Kai only conveyed his wish, and left the rest to Li Qi to negotiate. This is like the relationship between an employer and an agent. He is the emperor. If he is the one to negotiate, it will certainly be inconvenient to bargain, and Jun Wu joked.
, based on this article, it is absolutely taboo for the emperor to participate in negotiations.
...
Li Qi still met with Fujiyoshi Miki and the others in the Liyuan. Different from the previous meeting with Park Zhiqian, the Japanese were very understanding and brought many gifts. This made the meeting in a very pleasant atmosphere from the beginning.
among.
"The three of you came from afar, and Li Qi couldn't meet you from far away. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Qi's face was filled with joy, and he held his hands towards the three of them and said with a smile.
"We are very sorry for the Privy Councilor and ask for your forgiveness."
As soon as they met, Iga Baichuan gave Li Qi a big gift, his tone was very sincere and sincere.
Wow! I'm already polite enough, but I didn't expect you to be more polite than me. Li Qi thought this was a newly invented way of saying hello by the Japanese. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly returned the greeting: "I specially arranged this meeting here in the orchard.
I just hope that this meeting can be more like a gathering of old friends, without being so serious."
"When the Privy Councilor said this, we felt even more ashamed."
Isn't it a polite word? Li Qi asked in astonishment: "Iga Xian, why is this?"
Fujiyoshi Miki sighed: "It's really a shame to say that we failed to provide any assistance when your country was in trouble. I really feel sorry for your country."
Ping Wulang said hurriedly: "Actually, we are already making preparations to send troops to assist you, but when we sent people to inquire about your country, you had already beaten the Jin people away."
Japan is different from Goryeo. After all, Goryeo shares a border with the Jin Kingdom. The first thing they thought about was to protect themselves wisely, and then they thought about how to fish in troubled waters. As for sending troops to aid the Song Dynasty, they never had this idea. They thought that if the Song Dynasty could not defeat the Jin Dynasty,
country, then if we send troops, we are risking death.
But Japan is different. Japan is not afraid of the Jin Kingdom, and the Japanese samurai group does not want to lose the Song Dynasty as an ally. Of course, the Japanese samurai never think that they are weaker than the Jin soldiers, so they are not polite words, but come from their heart.
Inner.
Li Qi suddenly realized it and couldn't laugh or cry: "The three of you really mean it. In fact, this self-blame is completely unnecessary. Little Jin Bing, it doesn't matter. We, the Song Dynasty, have already secured the victory. But having said that, if I, the Song Dynasty, really need
If you want help, then I will definitely ask you for help, so don’t bother me!"
Compared with Goryeo, Li Qi would certainly not brag about the strength of the Jin Kingdom when it came to Japan. Instead, he would belittle the Jin Kingdom and elevate the Song Dynasty, which would make the relationship between the two parties stronger.
