Although the battle situation was in a stalemate, the Taira clan still held their ground and were not pushed overboard by a wave of Genji.［
The next step is to discuss counterattack matters.
Echizen Prefecture, within the government office.
But he saw a middle-aged man in samurai uniform kneeling on the ground.
This is none other than Ping Zhongzheng, the head of the Ping family.
To his left sat several people dressed in Song Dynasty clothes. These people were Niu Gao, Zhao Jingyan, Wei Ming and others.
Several of them also knelt on the ground.
In the Tang Dynasty, people generally sat on the ground, but in the Song Dynasty, there were already chairs. At the beginning, Ping Zhongzheng prepared chairs for Zhao Jingyan and the others, but Zhao Jingyan declined the request on the grounds that guests were welcome to do as they pleased. Moreover, in Confucianism and Taoism,
, the habit of sitting on one's knees has not been abandoned.
Although this is just an insignificant detail, it won Ping Zhong's good impression.
Now Pingzhong is looking for help from the Song Dynasty, and when he asks for help, he originally thought that the Song people would definitely point fingers in front of him, but both Niu Gao and Zhao Jingyan behaved very low-key. If you ask me to send troops to cross Zhongzhou, then I
We sent troops to cross Zhongzhou without any objection. If you asked me to come over to discuss it, we would come over immediately, with your Ping clan as the center.
Ping Zhongzheng raised his glass to Niu Gao and the others and said: "General Niu, Military Advisor Zhao, generals, thanks to your help, I, the Ping family, have been able to survive. I, Ping Zhongzheng, cannot repay this kindness. Here, I would like to toast you two.
Do it first out of respect."
As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp.
Niu Gao and Zhao Jingyan also drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Jingyan smiled slightly and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't take it. General Ping's words are serious. We really deserve it. In fact, we are just here on the orders of the Privy Council. If not for this, we would never be here at this time."
.”
Niu Gao was stunned when he heard this, and felt that this was a bit strange. Logically speaking, Li Qi was just a minister, and there was an emperor above him. You should say that he was under the orders of the emperor, not the privy councillor, but he didn't have much
After all, this is just a polite statement.
Ping Zhongzhengdao: "I've heard for a long time that your country's Golden Knife Chef King is a great talent. I've long wanted to visit the Golden Knife Chef King. Unfortunately, I never had the chance. This makes Ping feel very regretful."
Although Li Qi has been an official for a long time, no matter at home or abroad, he likes to be called the Golden Knife Chef King, because many people have served as privy envoys, but he is the only Golden Knife Chef King, and people regard him as the Golden Knife Chef King.
I was extremely impressed by Li Qi's cooking skills.
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "Ping has always had business contacts with the Privy Councilor's Zuixianju, and he often said that he hopes to meet General Ping. But I think that although the two of us have never met, we have a close friendship.
For a long time, you can be regarded as a 'friend'. Besides, there will always be a chance to meet in the future."
"That is, that is."
Ping Zhongzheng was very happy to hear this and raised his glass again: "This glass is for the Golden Knife Chef King."
Several people drank it all in one gulp.
After these pleasantries, Taira Takarazheng began to get down to business. He humbly asked Niu Gao: "Now that we have driven the Genji army to the border of Hokuriku, I wonder what General Niu thinks the next step should be?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a general on the right clasped his fists and said: "General, I think I should take advantage of the victory to pursue him and take Kyoto Prefecture directly."
Many soldiers agreed.
They had been holding a breath in their hearts, because Genji did not defeat them openly, but played a lot of intrigues. This Japanese samurai values honesty, so Genji really angered them this time, otherwise, they would not have seen it.
If you get it, you will ask for help from the Song Dynasty.
After their voices dispersed, Zhao Jingyan said: "Actually, before we came here, the Privy Councilor also told us to try not to lose lives and not to harm the innocent people of your country. In fact, the Privy Councilor has always had a good impression of the people of your country, so
, I suggest that the general try to negotiate peace with the Genji and your court to see if he can turn the conflict into friendship."
As soon as these words came out, Iga Mokawa suddenly said: "The military advisor may not know something. If peace talks could be made, Genji would not have done that in the first place. We actually don't want to kill each other, but Genji clearly cannot tolerate us. They are aggressive.
, we can only resist. When the war reaches this point, it cannot be solved with just one sentence."
"It was the Genji who started the war, and they have already killed many of our brothers. If there is a peace negotiation, how can we face those dead brothers?"
"Yes, we would rather die than surrender to Genji."
...
The Taira warriors were very excited, and many of them stood up. After all, they had been tricked by the Genji this time, and they felt extremely aggrieved. Now that they could finally counterattack, how could you tell them to give up?
They are like this, not to mention Ping Zhongzheng. Hundreds of his soldiers and one of his sons died to protect him during that change. If he could forget the hatred of his son,
Then he is really in vain, saying: "I admire the King of Golden Knife Chef for his generosity and righteousness, but even if we are willing to negotiate peace, Genji may not be willing to negotiate peace with us. Besides, I have no intention of negotiating peace, even if it means dying."
, and I will never forgive Genji for the sin he committed."
"this---."
Zhao Jingyan had a troubled expression on her face.
Ping Zhongzheng looked at Zhao Jingyan's troubled face and said doubtfully: "Could it be that the military advisor has something to hide? We are not outsiders here. If the military advisor has any difficulties, he can speak out."
Zhao Jingyan sighed quietly and said, "General Niu, it's up to you to say it."
Ping Zhong looked at Niu Gao with doubts.
Niu Gao said: "General Ping, unless we don't want to help you, otherwise we wouldn't have come. But--oh, our soldiers have come from afar and miss their families very much. Many brothers in the army have returned home."
Like arrows, they think that we have helped you stabilize your position and fulfilled our responsibilities as an ally. They hope that we can return to the DPRK as soon as possible."
The Ping family looked shocked when they heard this.
Tengji Miki said anxiously: "General Niu, this is absolutely unacceptable. Although we have resisted the enemy's attack now, we have not yet been able to recover. If your army leaves, the enemy will definitely come back. Please help me."
General, please bear with me."
Niu Gao said: "I know, and I actually want to help you win this battle. But the problem is, if a few days pass, our soldiers will not want to fight anymore. How can such an army win?
Victory."
Ping Zhongzheng nodded slightly and said: "The general is right, and this is human nature. I don't know what we can do to eliminate your army's homesickness. You two can just ask, as long as we can do it
, Ping will definitely not say a word."
Niu Gao and Zhao Jingyan looked at each other. Zhao Jingyan said: "It's not that there is no way."
Ping Zhongzheng said oh and said happily: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhao Jingyan said: "The reason why our soldiers are homesick is because they don't feel at home here. They are like lonely ghosts floating in the world. If we can make them feel at home, I think this situation will be better."
a little."
"feel like home?"
Ping Zhongzheng looked at his subordinates, but no one seemed to understand, so he asked Zhao Jingyan: "How can we make your soldiers feel at home?"
Zhao Jingyan said: "General Ping, if you want to continue fighting, this war will definitely be protracted, and once our country eliminates the border troubles, it will definitely increase its support for the Ping family, and there will be successive aids arriving.
Come to your country. If this is a matter of one or two months, then forget it, but this cannot be solved in one or two months. Although our army is not large, it is not many. There are so many people in your country.
If they float for a few years, there must be a place to put them."
Pingzhong was confused when he heard this. He thought it was a bad place for them to garrison troops first, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely choose the best place for you to garrison troops."
Zhao Jingyan shook her head and said: "This has nothing to do with the garrison, but a home. If our soldiers from the Song Dynasty can also feel the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty here, then they will definitely be very happy."
As soon as these words came out, Ping Zhongzheng and others all showed strange expressions.
This is Japan, and you want to make it the same as the Song Dynasty. What do you mean?
Zhao Jingyan said hurriedly: "Don't misunderstand me. What I'm saying here is just for the problems our soldiers are encountering at the moment and has nothing to do with anything else."
"How dare you, how dare you."
Ping Zhongzheng asked again: "What do you mean by the military advisor's words?"
Zhao Jingyan said: "Actually, a year ago, the Privy Council had a very great idea. If this had not happened, the Privy Council might have discussed it with Mr. Teng Ji and the Iga samurai at the end of last year."
Tenji Miki was curious: "What suggestions?"
Zhao Jingyan said: "It is to establish a Song Dynasty state in your country."
"Song Renzhou?"
Zhao Jingyan nodded and said: "The reason why the Privy Councilor is willing to send troops to help is because the Ping family and the Privy Councilor have a very good relationship. Both parties trust each other, and this trust is based on business transactions. It is business that makes us
We have become friends, and your country has always been our largest exporter of overseas trade. Especially in recent years, countless merchants from the Song Dynasty have come to do business in your country. I believe you should know this."
Tengji Miki said hurriedly: "The military advisor is right. Now the people of our two countries are like one family, and the relationship is extremely good."
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "I have met many businessmen from our Song Dynasty along the way. They also face the same problem, that is, missing their relatives. On the one hand, they want to do business in your country and stay here for development, but
On the one hand, they are very homesick, which makes them feel very embarrassed. It is not easy to go back and forth!
It's a coincidence, because there are also many businessmen from your country who go to our Song Dynasty to do business. They also miss home and their relatives. The Privy Council only came up with this idea after learning about this situation. The Privy Council originally planned
Create a street in Laizhou and call it Japanese Street. Make the street very characteristic of your country and gather your businessmen here so that your businessmen will feel at home even if they are in our Song Dynasty.
The neighbors are all from the same hometown.
It's a pity that this change in your country stopped the Privy Council's plan, because he couldn't predict whether your court would still be willing to do business with us. But now, our soldiers have encountered the same situation as me, the merchants of the Song Dynasty. Difficulties, so I want to use the Privy Envoy's plan to establish a Song Dynasty state in your country."
