On the second day, Zhao Kai announced to the world that we were going back to Luoyang to worship our ancestors.△
This is what it should be. Zhao Kai conquered Jiaozhi and Dali in the southern expedition, annexed Tubo in the western expedition, and also recaptured a large part of Yanyun's state capital. Coupled with the reform, this was definitely a great achievement for the Song Dynasty. Usually at this time,
The emperor should go to worship his ancestors.
Therefore, no one in the world raised any objections.
If you ask Qin Hui to do business, he is a good hand. If you ask him to do some deceitful things, he will be like a fish in water. He quickly arranged everything, and the team set off for Luoyang.
But the dragon chariot was empty. Zhao Kai had already secretly gone to Yanyun.
But there was one person who arrived at Yanshan Mansion earlier than Zhao Kai. This person was the Goryeo envoy Pu Zhiqian.
Naturally, he came here because of the disappearance of the fleet. In fact, although their losses in Goryeo were relatively large, they were not unacceptable. Goryeo also knew in his heart that most of them were robbed by the Jin Kingdom, but they
They didn't dare to provoke the Jin Kingdom, and they had no evidence in hand. If the Song Dynasty hadn't refused to give up here, it is estimated that Goryeo would have settled down, and would not have been stupid enough to go against the Jin Kingdom for tens of thousands of gold.
However, the Song Dynasty was unwilling to give up and wanted to unite with them to put pressure on the Jin Kingdom. This Song Dynasty was the eldest brother of Goryeo. If the eldest brother had spoken, could the younger brother not send someone to come?
In addition, as for who will bear the loss, someone must be sent. Naturally, Goryeo also hopes that Song Dynasty can bear more, and it is best to bear all of it. After all, Song Dynasty has money. We have no money.
ah!
However, Pu Zhiqian thought that Li Qi was in Laizhou, but when he arrived in Laizhou, he realized that Li Qi had secretly gone to Yanshan Mansion, so he rushed to Yanshan Mansion without stopping.
Li Qi, on the other hand, met Pu Zhiqian in an inconspicuous small house in Yanshan Prefecture. Because the war was still being prepared, it was not appropriate to expose him too early. After Li Qi came to Yanshan Prefecture, he kept a low profile. Even the military camp
Didn't even go on patrol.
"Brother Pu, it's been such a long time no see!"
This call of "Brother Pu" made Li Qi feel very cordial and he hurried to greet him.
"Pu Zhiqian has met the Privy Councilor."
Park Zhiqian knows much more etiquette than Xiao Cunzhi.
The two stood in the courtyard chatting for a while, and then entered the hall again.
"Brother Pu, you have come a long way and must be very tired after a long journey. How about you take a short rest first?"
There were no servants in this house. Li Qi personally poured a cup of tea for Pu Zhiqian. Pu Zhiqian was frightened, but he was also curious. Why did this dignified Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty live here without even a servant, but he was curious.
Out of curiosity, he didn't ask in a hurry and said quickly: "Thank you, thank you very much." After a pause, he added: "I'm used to this, and I was in the carriage just now and had a good sleep, so I didn't feel tired.
"
"Really? That's good, that's good."
Li Qi put down the teapot and sat down again.
Pu Zhiqian immediately added: "Our Majesty has already heard about the issue of Baozhou. It depends on your country's help to solve it satisfactorily. Before I came, Your Majesty told me many times to thank the Privy Councilor properly, because I am in a hurry.
Come quickly, this gift is still behind you."
This is indeed true. When the Goryeo court heard that the Jin Kingdom suddenly recognized Baozhou as belonging to Goryeo, everyone in Goryeo was excited and happy. The King of Goryeo even held a banquet and the whole country rejoiced. He was really grateful to the Song Dynasty in his heart. This is the value of allies.
A person who understands etiquette is someone who pleases people. Li Qi, who had not accepted a bribe for a long time, was really looking forward to it, but he said in an upright and awe-inspiring manner: "Your Majesty, you are welcome. We are allies and we are brothers. This Regarding the issue of Baozhou, I have often listened to your grievances, and I also know that you have been troubled by this matter. We just have such an opportunity, so the first thing we think of is your country."
Pu Zhiqian was full of gratitude and said: "I heard that your country broke off diplomatic relations with Xixia because of this matter?"
Li Qi nodded, sighed and said: "I won't hide this from you. You should have heard about Jin's attack on Xixia. Jin is afraid that we will aid Xixia, so it hopes that we will no longer recognize the fact that Xixia is independent. "Originally we refused, but the Jin State offered to protect the state as a condition of exchange, and we finally agreed after careful consideration."
"So that's it. Your country has been so kind to us, Goryeo, and we really can't repay it."
Pu Zhiqian cupped his hands and said gratefully. But he just wanted to listen, and he was not stupid. How could the Song Dynasty go and refuse Xixia for them? There must be some unknown reasons.
"Brother Park is too polite. This is all in the past."
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "We should focus more on the present and the future."
Pu Zhiqian said: "The Privy Councilor is referring to the disappearance of the fleet?"
Li Qi nodded and said very directly: "You know who did this, we know it, and Jin Guo also knows it."
Park Ji-kyeom sighed: “It’s just that there is no evidence!”
If you can understand, then there's nothing better. Li Qi shook his head and said: "No, no, no, that's not the key. The key lies in the nature of the matter."
"Nature?"
Park Zhiqian looked at Li Qi in astonishment.
Li Qi snorted and said: "The Kingdom of Jin did this not just for the little money. They have also made frequent moves in recent years to form a navy and build a port. They have put a lot of effort into this, but I thought They paid so much, not just because they wanted to grab something back, after all, they had to take a lot of risks when they went out to sea to rob."
Hmm. What he said makes sense. Pu Zhiqian wondered: "Then why did the Privy Council think they did this?"
Li Qi laughed and said: "It's very simple, destroy the alliance between us and weaken it by dividing it."
Pu Zhiqian frowned and said, "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I would like to ask the Privy Councilor to speak clearly."
Sweat! I've made it so clear, you still don't understand! Li Qi had no choice but to continue to explain: "Why we became allies, in the final analysis, it is because of our trade. As we The closer the trade, the stronger and unbreakable our alliance becomes. However, the Jin Kingdom cannot meet the needs of your country, so they want to rely on their strength to win trade with your country. This is almost impossible, so there is only one The way is to destroy it.
The group of robbers that appear in the sea between our two countries is obviously controlled secretly by the Kingdom of Jin. As their navy becomes stronger, they can do more and more. It is obvious that if our cargo ships often Being robbed will definitely affect the trade between our two countries, especially our Song Dynasty, because nearly 50% of our Song Dynasty's export trade comes from private individuals. Too much risk will make our Song Dynasty merchants have no interest in your country. If the exit loses safety and confidence, then the water road may slowly dry up. Once the water road becomes unworkable, then ---."
Pu Zhiqian said: "Then we can only travel by land."
Li Qi nodded with a smile and said: "If we take the land route, we must pass through the Kingdom of Jin. In this way, the Kingdom of Jin will be able to restrict your country very well, but this is only the first step. Once we are on the water,
The roads are drying up. The Jin Kingdom will definitely restrict the exchanges between your country and the Song Dynasty, and may even act as a middleman to resell the goods of the Song Dynasty to your country. The result will be obvious. The relationship between our two countries will become difficult as trade becomes difficult.
And gradually fade away, your country will move closer to the Kingdom of Jin. As you and the Kingdom of Jin get closer and closer, our Song Dynasty will definitely gradually alienate you. This is the second step of the Kingdom of Jin. The third step is obvious, female.
Real men with great ambitions and limited talents. Their ambition is not to destroy the Liao Kingdom, but to dominate the world. But with this unstable rear defense, how can they conquer the world with peace of mind? Therefore, they have only one purpose in doing all this, and that is to destroy you, Goryeo.
.”
Park Zhiqian was shocked when he heard this, and his face instantly turned pale.
Their country, Goryeo, was small and poor. Regarding the hijacking of the fleet, their eyes were limited to the loss of money. How could they think of such a long-term perspective? The Song Dynasty was different. The Song Dynasty did not care about these losses at all from the beginning. More
The key is to look at the overall strategy and delve into the essence of the whole matter. It can be seen that whether a country is strong or not will directly affect the country's strategic vision.
Li Qidao: "Brother Pu, I am by no means an alarmist. When the Jin army went south, you sent troops to protect the state. This made the Jin country realize the importance of the rear. However, the Jin country was busy dealing with our country at that time, which was not conducive to fighting front and rear.
Therefore, we took the initiative to ease the relationship with your country. To put it more bluntly, the Jin Kingdom has never taken action against your country. It is also afraid of our Song Dynasty, not your country. I believe your country also knows this. Once our relationship
If there is a rift, or our fleet leaves the Yalu River, then the Jin Kingdom will definitely send troops to your country. This is their strategic need and a necessary step. You are really too dangerous to the Jin Kingdom."
Park Zhiqian's back was already soaked. He really didn't expect that there was such a big conspiracy hidden behind this robbery. Moreover, he also agreed with Li Qi's words. They were always like a stick in the throat of the Kingdom of Jin, and they were not happy except for it.
He suddenly became very anxious and asked hurriedly: "Is there any way for the Privy Council to stop this?"
Li Qi smiled coldly and said: "At this point, the only way is to strike preemptively. Instead of waiting to be eliminated by the enemy, it is better to take the initiative to eliminate the enemy."
Pu Zhiqian was a little unable to turn around, and said in a trembling voice: "Privy--Privy Envoy, you---how do you say this?"
Li Qi smiled softly and said: "It's very simple. We jointly send troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin."
