Chapter 938: Provoking discord and sending it, ask for a monthly ticket)
However, from beginning to end, Li Qi did not express any opinion on this matter, but just listened quietly, not knowing whether he was very fascinated by what he was listening to or whether he was very engrossed in his thoughts.
Li Qi remained silent, and Pu Zhiqian was a little at a loss because he didn't know what Li Qi thought, so he didn't dare to continue what he said. After a moment, he suddenly frowned, as if he had made up his mind.
He shouted softly: "Economic Envoy, Economic Envoy."
Li Qi was slightly startled and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"
What's the matter? Wasn't what I said clear enough? Park Zhiqian's eyes swayed a little and said: "I heard that your country and the Jin country also have this problem. It seems that they haven't returned all the sixteen states of Yanyun to you?"
Good fellow, I haven't even started a fight yet, but you've tried this trick on me first. Well, I'll take advantage of it. Li Qi sighed bitterly and shook his head silently.
Pu Zhiqian pretended not to know: "Is it possible that the Kingdom of Jin will not be returned to you?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Pu, with our friendship, we are not afraid to tell you the truth. In fact, when it comes to it, we are not as good as you."
Seeing that Li Qi finally spoke, Pu Zhiqian became more energetic and asked, knowingly: "Why is this?"
Li Qi sighed: "In any case, Baozhou is still under your control, but Yunzhou and other places are under the control of the Jin Kingdom. The difficulties we encounter are far greater than yours."
Park Zhiqian waved his hand and said, "As an economic officer, you can't say that."
"Oh? Brother Pu, what do you think?"
Pu Zhiqian added: "You are right, Baozhou is indeed under our control now. But you Zhongyuan people have a saying that is good, you are not afraid of thieves. You are afraid that thieves will remember it. As long as the Jin Kingdom does not let go of this, their
If the army does not withdraw for a day, Baozhou will be like a hot potato, making our dormitory uneasy. But the situation in your country is different. As long as your country is obsessed with Yunzhou and other places, the one you are worried about will be the Kingdom of Jin."
Hey! This guy is really eloquent. Li Qi smiled and said, "What Brother Pu said seems to make sense."
At this point, he stopped talking.
Pu Zhiqian glanced at him and asked: "Then I don't know how your country plans to deal with this problem. Oh, don't get me wrong, economics officer. I just want to learn from some of your country's practices."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "We, the Song Dynasty, are a country of gentlemen. We still hope to get Yunzhou and other places back through negotiation."
Pu Zhiqian said: "Based on my understanding of the Jurchens, it may be difficult. They are very greedy. If you don't give them enough benefits, how can they be willing to return Yunzhou and other places to you."
Needless to say, I have known it for a long time. As long as they have Yunzhou in hand, they will have the initiative. Li Qi smiled and asked: "Oh, I wonder how you, Goryeo, plan to respond?"
Pu Zhiqian straightened his back and said: "Our emperor has sternly rejected the so-called exchange of the Jin Kingdom. We must defend Baozhou at all costs and never let the Jin Kingdom's plan succeed."
You guys, you are so stupid. If the Kingdom of Jin is serious about playing with you and you still don’t surrender, you really don’t understand the situation. Li Qi applauded loudly and said: "If you have backbone, you should treat the territory."
Defend it with your life, otherwise, losing territory is a small matter, but losing people's support is a big deal."
Park Zhiqian nodded and said: "What the economic commander said is really good. This is what we in Korea think. So - your country supports us?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Although we, the Song Dynasty, and you, Korea, do not have any alliance, we have very close exchanges and have never had any conflicts. This is really rare. Looking at the world, only you and I can do this.
Speaking of which, although we are not a country of brothers, we are far better than a country of brothers. There is one word that I think can well explain the relationship between our two countries."
Pu Zhiqian felt secretly happy when he heard it, and asked hurriedly: "What word?"
"Tacit understanding."
"That's right, that's right." Pu Zhiqian said happily: "It's not just a tacit understanding, I think it should be done with sincerity."
Li Qi laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Pu's Chinese is far better than the next one. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."
"How dare you, how dare you."
Li Qi suddenly asked: "How can Brother Pu ask us to help you?"
Pu Zhiqian hesitated for a moment and said: "That's it. We, Goryeo, hope that your country can participate and act as a middleman to mediate the negotiations between Goryeo and the Kingdom of Jin on Baozhou."
As Goryeo was so big and their military strength was so small, they could not compete with the Jin Kingdom at all. Therefore, they wanted to use the Song Dynasty to jointly fight against the Jin Kingdom. However, they did not know that the Song Dynasty was now unable to protect itself and had no time to help others.
Japan. You are trying to play us like fools. Yunzhou is still in the hands of the Jin Kingdom. We are helping you. If you offend the Jin Kingdom, how will they hand over Yunzhou to us? Moreover, you are in the Jin Kingdom.
The rear is so close to their capital, how could they give up their control over you? Li Qi was silent as he listened.
Pu Zhiqian showed a slight guilty conscience and said: "Of course, we, Korea, will definitely help us with the Yunzhou issue."
Help me? Sigh! Even if you really put all your effort into feeding, will Jin Guo look down on you? You are looking down on yourself too much. Li Qi smiled and nodded, saying: "Actually, this is just a simple effort.
If you, Goryeo, invite us, the Song Dynasty, we, the Song Dynasty, will certainly be willing to help with this small favor. However, in my personal opinion, our Song Dynasty's intervention will only make things worse."
Pu Zhiqian frowned and said, "I wonder what the economist has to say?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Li Qi said sternly: "I have also heard something about the Baozhou issue. This is a border dispute between your country of Korea and the Kingdom of Jin, and each of them insists on his own opinion, although your reasons are more convincing.
Some, but if the Jin State persists in insisting on it, they will continue to argue. In this matter, we are considered an outsider, and we also have an alliance with the Jin State. If we blatantly favor you, what will the Jin State think? They will only
If they become angry from shame, they will be able to keep us away thousands of miles away with just one word, and no one can guarantee that they will do anything outrageous. Therefore, verbal support will not have any substantive effect at all.
, but it is easy to make the Kingdom of Jin angry."
Pu Zhiqian pondered for a moment and said: "Then what should we do according to the economic envoy's wishes?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "In this matter, we have a common starting point, which is to defend our territory. We must reach a consensus on this point and must not make the slightest concession. If the Kingdom of Jin easily takes over from you,
The Kingdom of Jin, which has gained Baozhou and tasted the benefits, will definitely not return Yunzhou to us. Even if we want to return it, we will probably have to pay a sky-high price in exchange for it, and vice versa."
Park Zhiqian nodded and said: "The economic envoy is absolutely right."
Li Qi added: "So on this issue, we must support each other. Helping each other is helping ourselves. However, as I said before, it is difficult for us, the Song Dynasty, to come forward in this kind of thing, at least on the surface. But
, we can support you secretly."
Park Zhiqian asked doubtfully: "Please forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what the economic director means by this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "You just have to defend your territory. If the Jin Kingdom wants to use force against you, we will provide you with any support other than manpower, such as food, weapons, etc."
Pu Zhiqian was overjoyed, this is what he wanted, and said: "Is this true?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Of course, but I hope you can understand one problem. The Kingdom of Jin is very greedy. You can never feed them enough, and they will fall out of favor faster than turning over a book. I think back then, the Kingdom of Jin wanted to eliminate them.
The Liao Kingdom must have made many promises to you, but after they eliminated the Liao Kingdom, they began to cause trouble for you. Now this problem has arisen again. You think the reason why the Jin Kingdom only verbally threatens you is because
Are we afraid of you? Obviously not, because we, the Song Dynasty, are still here staring at them, which means that we are restraining the Jin Kingdom from each other and making them have some scruples. If either side collapses, I can guarantee that they will immediately turn their spearheads against the other side.
On the one hand, our relationship is actually the relationship between lips and teeth. Our great ancestor has a good saying, no one should be allowed to snore on the side of the bed. I hope you can keep this sentence in mind. I, the Song Dynasty, can make a promise to you, but I
There is no need for you to make any commitment to us, because your choice will directly affect the fate of your country, and if you make the wrong choice, you will only bear the consequences."
Park Zhiqian was sweating profusely after hearing this. Li Qi's last words obviously meant a warning. This is the trouble of a small country living on the edge of a big country. You don't dare to offend anyone easily, so your choice must be
I have to be cautious and cautious, thinking, today I took the initiative to ask for help from the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty agreed. If there are changes in the future, it will definitely anger the Song Dynasty. If there is an alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, how can I, Korea, endure it?
Withstand the pincer attack of Song and Jin Dynasties.
Thinking of this, Park Zhiqian sweated like rain, but the friendship shown by the Song Dynasty to Goryeo was unmatched by the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, unlike the Liao and Jin Dynasties, the Song Dynasty never had any thoughts of invading Goryeo, which made him
I couldn’t help but think that what he said was right. We are always on the edge of the Jin Kingdom. If we don’t surrender, how can the Jin Kingdom live in peace with us? And there is a sea between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo, so they will not cause us any harm.
If there is any threat, if we can form an alliance with the Song Dynasty, we can restrict the Jin State and check and balance each other. This may be the best result. Once the Jin State uses troops against any of us, it means that he will never tolerate others.
After Fang Fang paid attention, he stood up suddenly, bowed deeply, and said: "Economy makes good words come out. Park's heart suddenly became enlightened. I will definitely convey these words to His Majesty. We, Korea, are also willing to share the difficulties with your country."
Li Qi quickly stood up and helped Pu Zhiqian up, laughing and saying: "There is also Tongfugui, as long as we unite as one, we have nothing to fear. Let me introduce another ally to you. I believe they will be very willing to help you."
Pu Zhiqian felt happy again and asked quickly: "Please ask the economic envoy to tell me."
Li Qi had a sinister smile in his heart and said: "Japan."
