The small court discussions in the tent disbanded after midnight. They agreed on military strategy changes and sent them to Xinzhou with secret orders. Only strategic guidance was put forward, and the specific plans were planned and implemented according to local conditions. However, they only reached an agreement on the matter of surrendering and rebellion in principle, and agreed on the framework plan. However, there were differences in specific implementation guidelines and no resolution was formed.

The reason why no resolution was formed this time was actually because Zhao Bing did not agree with the surrender without principles and many conditions. Doing so was not only a national plot in his heart, but also felt sorry for the soldiers who had fought for the country, the loyal ministers and righteous men who died, and millions of ordinary people who died under the iron hoof of the Tartars.

It is true that the cost of recruiting rebels can reduce casualties and accelerate the demise of the Mongol Yuan. Those high-ranking officials in the palace who once betrayed the nation and became aliens by killing compatriots, enjoying wealth and honor for generations. Now the situation is not good, and they have changed their ranks and become ministers of the Song Dynasty and become new nobles in the court. This makes Zhao Bing feel uneasy and feels ashamed of being with him and the sacrifice of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Bing couldn't overcome this hurdle for the time being, nor could he accept the so-called "submission" like Wang, which challenged the bottom line of being a human being. But this does not mean that he would refuse the surrender of the Mongol Yuan officials. He also planned to see what conditions the Zhending Shi family would offer in front of him, so that he could find some experience from it and then formulate detailed rules.

Therefore, the negotiation that will be faced will become a model for similar events in the future, and will also allow the surrenders who want to jump back and forth to weigh their own weight. Let them know that the betrayer will have to pay the price, and the Song Dynasty will not accept everything...

The next day, Xingying set off again. It was one day away from Zhending City, but Zhao Bing found that the environment here is very different from the prefectures and counties we passed before. In order to prepare for the war, the trees around many prefectures and counties were cut down. The roads here are straight and wide, and tall trees are planted on the roadside. It seems that they are 30 or 40 years old and are well preserved.

In fact, Taoist trees are not only found in modern society. In ancient times, there was the habit of planting trees beside the road. One could shade travelers in summer; the other was also used as road signs, so that people could see them in the distance and would not get lost regardless of day or night. Zhending City is located in the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and above the main traffic road, which is of course no exception, but it is rare that trees are still preserved in wars so well.

"After entering Zhending, it makes people feel refreshed. It seems that Shi's management is well-managed!" The road is surrounded by roads, and irrigation canals are listed. Sometimes, large areas of mulberry forests can be seen around villages and towns, and there is basically no barren land. It can be seen that Zhending's agricultural production is doing well and it can be said to be prosperous. Zhao Bing also had to praise it.

"Your Majesty, because of his understanding that Shi's family has made a lot of contributions to the people of Zhending, and is deeply supported by the people!" Chen Shishi continued.

In the past, Zhao Bing had the habit of knowing the place of conquering in advance, but now there is a lot of affairs and he no longer has so much energy to search one by one. Now the secretary-general is responsible for collecting information for the emperor to investigate. If he really wants to surrender, they naturally have to collect information from all parties to help His Majesty clarify the political and people's sentiments. They are in the same car with His Majesty today to discuss negotiations.

"What Master Chen said is exactly." Ma Duanlin said, "After destroying the Jin Dynasty, Shi Tianze returned to Zhending. When he saw that due to the heavy taxes, the people had to borrow the "lamb benefits" from the Otu people, and the people suffered from debts. So Shi Tianze asked the court officials to pay the principal and interest, and the people's pressure was relieved."

"There was another locust plague in the Zhending area, and the people borrowed debts and tributes, and accumulated more than 13,000 ingots of silver. Shi Tianze spent his family's resources, and his subordinate officials also rushed to follow the example and repay the debts. He also requested that the middle household be used as military households, the upper and lower households be used as the people's households, and the quota should be determined according to the rich and poor. After approval, the various routes were announced as customization, and the officials and the people were grateful for their kindness."

"At the beginning of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian army stationed in Zhendingjie tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, harassing the people, cutting down mulberry trees, and the people suffered a lot. For this reason, Shi Tianze asked Empress Dowager Guangxian to move the Mongolian army to the north of Lingbei, making Zhending the fastest recovery of production, the largest population, and the best governance in the Central Plains."

"It seems that people in the world are rumored that 'Huahua Zhending Mansion, the beautiful Taiyuan City' is true!" Zhao Bing nodded after listening to their introduction.

"Your Majesty has also heard this!" Chen Shishi said, "After our dynasty and Mongolia joined forces to destroy Jin, according to the proposal, "Break Caizhou, return to our dynasty, and the people will return to Mongolia." Most of the people in Bianliang and Zhengzhou live in Zhending, and there is a saying of "the legacy of the old capital". Therefore, Zhending time had more than 130,000 households and more than 240,000 households. In the early Yuan Dynasty, the General Administration was established to govern the eleven states, and the Weaving and Dyeing Department and Saluo and Miscellaneous Bureau were also set up here to lead the general administration to capture Yingfang Najin and other households, making Zhending unprecedented prosperity. It is said that it is due to Shi Tianze's opening of the Mansion in Zhending!"

"Zhending Silk Weaving has a weaving courtyard since the Tang Dynasty. Our dynasty also set up a yard to weave brocade here. In the Jinshi period, there was also a Lingjin Courtyard in charge of weaving and satin. Now the palace often purchases it, and the price is very expensive!" Zhao Bing pointed to the Sanglin Road, which can be seen everywhere.

"What Your Majesty said is that the prosperity of the weaving industry in Zhending has caused endless merchants from all over the world. There are also many Semen merchants who have taken horse gangs and camel caravans to pass by or do business here, and promote the development of industry and commerce. There are many shops in the city, and there are many merchants and merchants gather. If they are destroyed by war, it would be a pity!" Chen Shishi sighed lightly.

"Maybe it is because of the many merchants that they are worried about the damage of their accumulated wealth that they have urged Shi to surrender, so as not to become a ruin in this prosperous land and a hundred years of glory will be destroyed. And Shi Ge may not want to lose the territory of his family's management for generations and become a sinner who will be destroyed!" Ma Duan said in a statement.

"The Shi family is indeed different from other Han marquis of the Yuan Dynasty. They had never served in Jin and our dynasties before, but were rich families in the countryside. Shi Tianze, his great-grandfather, Shi Lun, had wealth because of his building of houses and land. During the troubled times of the Jin Dynasty, he built a private school, recruited scholars, recruited scholars, and helped with difficulties. He was known for his chivalrousness. He organized more than 40 Qingle Clubs in various counties in Hebei, with nearly a thousand people in each club, becoming a great local tyrant. His grandfather Shi Chengsi and his father Shi Bingzhi both inherited the family traditions. After he joined Mongolia, he followed him to the end." Zhao Bing said.

"And Shi Tianze is indeed outstanding. He is very resourceful and good at determining the enemy and using troops, advocates attacking the heart as the best, and strives to avoid killing and looting. When facing major qualities and discussing major qualities, he can take responsibility for the world's importance. In the fiftieth year of serving the Yuan Dynasty, the superiors did not doubt but did not complain. After 40 years, he began to study, respect Confucianism and scholars, and promote Han laws, and was called a genius of the previous generation!"

"Well, Your Majesty's words are reasonable!" Xu Wunan, who had been listening, said that he had been by the emperor for several years and rarely heard him praise the enemy country. It can be seen that His Majesty still appreciates what Shi's actions. Perhaps this is also the reason why he has always been tough on the powerful Han families in the north, but he is very cautious about the Shi family's request for surrender and has not refused at all.

"Shi Tianze was in Zhending Kaifu, governing military and political affairs, and practicing customs. When the times and the years passed, all the old people from all directions came to rest. If the princes and dukes of the south of the country, Dukes of Yishan Yuan, Dukes of Jingzhai Li, Dukes of Yizhai Zhang, Dukes of Xi'an Yang, Dukes of Tiaoshan Zhang, Dukes of Tiaoshan, are the rich in knowledge and articles and the supreme speech style, how can the current affairs be beneficial? But the gentry and Confucians all rely on their examples of sound and light, so that the literary style is far superior to the capital..."

When Zhao Bing heard what Xu Wunan said, he was very proud of praise. In modern times, he respected intellectuals and attached great importance to education to change the customs of the people. However, it was true. When Shi Tianze helped Meng Meng to destroy Jin, he took in many Confucian scholars, defeated Guide, and Shi Li Dajie did not kill him, but sent him to Zhending and appointed him as a staff officer. Wei was a fief and ordered Wang Changling to govern him.

After hearing his reputation as a Confucian scholar, a large number of outstanding Han cultural celebrities lived in Zhending after the fall of the Jin Dynasty. Shi Tianze was treated with courtesy to these cultural celebrities, and paid attention to classics and history, and promoted Meiji, which was effectively protected and respected, which made them play a very important role in promoting the development of economic, cultural, and education in the Zhending area.

Many of them are well-known in modern times, such as the famous writer Wang Ruoxu, Yuan Haowen, Bai Pu, one of the four great masters of Yuanqu, Li Ye, an outstanding mathematician and Neo-Confucian scholar, and Zhang Dehui, a famous educator. Yan Jian, a famous northern scholar, has been admitted to Zhending for more than ten years. These famous scholars who gathered great success have not only played an important role in Zhending cultivating local talents, improving people's customs, and spreading knowledge.

It also had a profound impact on the development of culture and technology throughout the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, many people were summoned by the princes of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan's biological mother, the Queen of Xianyizhuang Shengsheng, also summoned the famous scholar Li Pan from Zhending, and ordered him to attend the youngest son Alibuge to "speak". The reason was also closely related to Shi Tianze's preferential treatment of talented people and the wealth of Zhending.

"What you said is getting more and more trouble. This is simply an egg. I want to eat it but I am afraid of breaking it. It's a headache!" Zhao Bing also knew that Zhending, as a key land in Hebei, is not only reflected in military affairs, but also a key land that integrates military, politics, economy, and even humanities. It is also a positive significance for the future to win it completely. It is really not easy to take it down without bloodshed. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the envoys sent by Zhending this time are all famous scholars. It is also a good story to be able to subdue them for our dynasty!" Chen Shishi couldn't help but quip when he saw the emperor's appearance.

"Haha, I am most annoying to preach the scriptures and theories. I am afraid of dealing with these great scholars. Let the Prime Minister Lu and others go and talk!" Zhao Bing felt that his head hurt even more and waved his hands repeatedly.

In the conversation, the carriages and horses kept stopping. In the evening, they drove into Zhending. When they reached the north bank of the Hutuo River, they got off the car and looked at the other side. A heroic city appeared in front of them in the sunset...
