After Shao Song

Chapter 170 Extra [-]: Jin Ge, Iron Horse, Xin Qiji
Although Yue Lei was nervous and Xin Qiji was excited, after they arrived in Heianjing, Japan, everything was fine, and no ronin warriors or dignitaries came to the inn to act wild.Even the formal reception dinner included the presence of Emperor Go-Shirakawa and the current emperor.It's extremely polite.

But let alone a bunch of famous people in the embassy, ​​even the members of the imperial class who came to the banquet felt that there was something wrong with the father and son.

Since we don’t know which official agency to contact at the moment, we don’t have time to listen to their nonsense. Everyone goes out to collect information through different fields. This is also the experience summed up by the Song Dynasty’s diplomacy over the years.

Unexpectedly, the person who took the lead in Japan was not Xin Qiji, who was later known as the Tiger in Ci, both in civil and military affairs.It was Lu Jiuyuan and Zhu Xi who were enemies.

To put it simply, these two yamen were both born in Enyin.Zhu Xi was the adopted son of Liu Ziyu, deputy envoy to the Privy Council, and Lu Jiuyuan was the younger brother of Lu Jiusi, the Minister of Rites. Both of them had been well-known figures since they were studying in the Imperial College, and both had their own opinions.Zhu Xi admired Lu Hao and asked King Lu Shen, believing that "the principles of heaven are physics", while Lu Jiuyuan believed that "the heart is the principles" and once said: "The universe is my heart, and my heart is the universe."

After they grew up a little, they would write articles to each other, criticize each other's views, and point out each other's faults. It was hard to say that Zhao Guan's family sent them on a mission together this time because they didn't want them to get out of the way quickly so that they could have some peace and quiet while they went to Taixue.

But no matter what, they knew that they were not here to discuss academic matters. After constant exchanges with Japanese Confucian scholars, they sorted out their own views and reported them to Yue Lei.

In terms of data analysis ability, Yue Lei is not good, but isn't this because of Xin Qiji?There was also Chen Liang, who had been spotted by the Military Statistics Department. He frowned and said: "It seems that the Taira people did not lie to us. Emperor Shirakawa has monopolized power. Today, the emperor is plotting with his father to seize power. In the past few years, the Japanese rebellion The popularity of the samurai family greatly increased their status. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was determined to rule personally, so that the relationship with his father became increasingly tense. In order to unite his strength, he even ignored the opposition of Emperor Goshirakawa and married the widowed queen of Emperor Konoe. , that is, my great-uncle is married to a wife, so her ethics are often ruined. Although this does not sound good, the forces behind it also give Emperor Goshirakawa a headache. "

Yue Lei was shocked by this relationship, but Lu Jiuyuan said: "Speaking of it, this small island country has a strange system. I heard that in the past few years, there was an incident where the emperor, the emperor, and the emperor were co-located. He studied the classics and calligraphy of our Song people all day long. Even in painting, don’t you know that there are no two days in the sky?”

It has become instinctive for Zhu Xi to contradict him, and he immediately retorted, "Small country with few people, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. What do they do with their bullshit system? The key is that they fight like this, so that the power is left behind and the warriors are domineering." , making our southeastern coast unclean. How to solve this problem? This is the purpose of this mission."

This is to the point.They are now facing a question, who has the final say in Japan, a small country?Who can stop the samurai from dressing up as pirates and robbing?
As for the Emperor, the Emperor, the Emperor, and the Fujiwara family.This matter is not their main goal to worry about.

Although Yue Lei hesitated, after all, he had some opinions after many years of experience. After thinking about it, he said: "These days, many people have posted posts to me. Among them is the head of the Taira family, Taira Kiyomori. This person was the true heart of the official family back then. Coming from a riding background, I most admire Wenhua of the Song Dynasty. His Ping family also holds a lot of shares in maritime trade, so he definitely doesn’t want pirates to plunder. If not, meet him first."

This principle seems to be that Zhao Guan's family has designated several coastal ports.Then do business with the designated Japanese clan and the emperor's family, and it is difficult for others to get a share of the pie, so piracy incidents occur.But the problem is that this is not a temporary idea of ​​Zhao Guan's family. It was already decided when Juehua Island's pardon was signed.

Of course, time has changed, and this treaty may not be very suitable for the relationship between the two countries, but the problem is that both the Song Dynasty and Japan feel that it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to change the treaty for Japan.

Don't ask, asking means national power and cultural invasion.

Do you know how many people in Japan from the emperor down are Jingsong elements?

It happened that the Heng family held a plum appreciation gathering in winter, so Yue Lei took Xin Qiji and others there.When it comes to Bushido culture, we have finally reached Xin Qiji’s home turf.He defeated all the aristocratic children present with a wild goose-wing sword, drank wine and got everyone drunk, and he was still there chanting plum blossoms. What made Pingqing Shengsheng even more happy was that he found that this amazing young man was from the Song Dynasty just like him. Loyal fans of the official family, what the two of them said was quite speculative.So much so that if Yue Lei hadn't stayed awake all the time.This Xin Qiji might be recruited as his son-in-law by Ping Qingsheng.

Of course, the last sentence was a joke.The aesthetics of the island country are different from those of the Central Plains Dynasty.Anyway, the people from the Song Dynasty mission really don’t understand what it means that these noble ladies have their teeth painted black.Just looking at it makes me want to run away!
But the unfairness of God is that after Xin Qiji sobered up, he analyzed with Yue Lei and others very objectively, "Yue Shaoqing, I think we don't need to contact Ping Shi anymore."

Yue Lei was startled and said: "You'an, how do you say this?" "The incident of coastal Japanese pirates must have nothing to do with the Taira family. After all, everyone has said that in the trade with Japan, apart from the emperor's line, the Taira clan He would gain the most, and he could not ruin his own job. But the problem is that although he is close to the Song Dynasty, he has no ability to restrain others from engaging in piracy trade. It is so divided that it is difficult for anyone to make the decision. We have passed on the deterrence, and I guess he can be honest For a while, as for similar incidents happening again, I’m afraid we’ll still have to rely on the navy.”

Even more coincidentally, Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan, two enemies, had been arguing for a long time, but they could only agree with Xin Qiji's point of view.Unless they have what Yue Yun did back then, they would go to major families, find the Japanese pirates harboring them, and then kill them.

It's a pity that Yue Lei is not Yue Yun.

But when it came to Yue Yun, Xin Qiji thought that since he was already here, he had to promote the country's prestige no matter what.So he studied it very seriously and had in-depth exchanges with people from Zhang's caravan.Invite the heads of several major families to visit the Great Song Ship.

It has to be said that Zhang Jun spent the rest of his life dealing with maritime trade, but from the perspective of later generations, his promotion of the Song Dynasty's naval career was really huge.

In order to prevent piracy and ensure shipping routes, he renovated ships in every aspect.Almost every merchant ship is built according to the requirements of a battleship.Yue Lei and the others are on the fleet on their trip this time.Each is the latest spinnaker.Combined with the artificial power wheel, it ensures navigation under any circumstances.There are specially loaded small steel cannons on the ship, and each ship is coordinated by soldiers from the imperial navy or navy.

Of course, the last item was Xin Qiji's idea of ​​letting people from the Zhang family's trade group make a temporary cameo.Anyway, for this matter, as long as the quantity is controlled within a certain range, you can go back and apologize to the officials.

Japan has been in chaos all these years under the leadership of Taira Kiyomori. You can imagine how shocked the big families were when they saw these excellent navies.Yue Lei and Yue Shaoqing read out the oral instructions of Zhao Guan's family here, and they heard them kowtow, saying that they would abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty, do business peacefully, and resist pirates.

All in all, it was the spring of Jianyan’s 34th year.The Song Dynasty envoy followed the ocean current and sailed back to the Tianjin port, and entered Yanjing to report the results to Zhao Guan's family.

As a result, Zhao Guan's family looked at Xin Qiji for a long time, and actually felt a little regretful. Your boy has been able to kill the first level of thieves in the history of the army, but why can't he do it now? They didn't expect that they didn't give him room to develop.

However, they had completed their mission this time, so they all received rewards, and Xin Qiji's official position was officially awarded.But when he arrived in Kansai, which he was not very familiar with, he became a captain under Tang Huai, the commander of the Imperial Army's capital.

He didn't know it when he took the paperwork and took office.The army leader Tang Dutong had already received a secret letter from the officials, ordering him to be placed in the most difficult place where his personal ability could best be demonstrated.

So where is the place for the imperial army behind him?Of course, the Tubo tribes south of Qingtang and west of Dali were supposed to have surrendered to the Song Dynasty one by one, but they were very resistant to the Song Dynasty's policy of returning to their native lands.He also continued to instigate the Heiman Yang family, Bozhou Yang family and Luo family to cause trouble.

Thanks to the fact that the children of these families were studying in Tokyo and Yanjing, they knew how terrifying the Song Dynasty's military power was, so they didn't follow them into chaos.

But Tang Huai, who is not young anymore, is a little worried. Is it okay for such a young man?
Xin Qiji quickly told his boss with his ability that he could do it.

　Xiao Xin’s legend can’t fit here anymore, he will be a young general and frontier poet, but it also vaguely explains why Yue Fei retired before he was [-]. Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, and Tang Huai are all in his early years in the army, and his son is It is recognized that the half-middle-aged generals are the leaders, so even if the Zhao officials like to trust him, he will retreat bravely, but it is a relief for him to cultivate (beat) the children.
