It was dawn, I woke up from my dream, and the weather cleared up. The fighting sounds on the battlefield in Huanggang Town stopped...

Emperor Nan, now he is still the Southern Emperor, has not been tied up and locked up in a prison chariot. Under his personal command, more than a thousand or two thousand elite soldiers of Jiaozhi were finally at their level. Relying on the tall courtyard walls and pavilions of the Huang family mansion, he repelled several waves of attacks by the iron armored soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

But the situation is still very critical!

Because His Majesty Nan Emperor was surrounded, the 30,000 army collapsed, and there was not much food in the Huang family's mansion. Once there was no food to eat, even the emperor would have to become a prisoner.

Therefore, Emperor Nan had to send envoys to seek peace, with the condition that he would retreat to his country, pay tribute and apologize, and return the people of the Song Dynasty who had been plundered, and return the Guangyuanzhou, which was ceded to Jiaozhi by Song Shenzong decades ago. He was willing to offer merchant ships from Anbang to the Song Dynasty and use warships. He could also pay 1 million stones of rice to the Song Dynasty every year, and even let his younger brother Li Chongde go to Kaifeng Prefecture to be a hostage...

Such conditions are put in the past, and it will definitely win a chance to breathe for Dayue.

But at the moment, Li Gande was really a little unsure. It was not because the Great Vietnamese army did a lot of evil when it invaded the Song Dynasty this time, but because the Song army now had the ability to deploy troops through the ocean.

Jiaozhi and the Central Plains are no longer out of reach!

"Boom..."

A loud noise suddenly interrupted Li Gande's thoughts. The Emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom was startled and looked out the door. It was clearly a sunny day, why did it thunder? Is it a bolt from the blue?

Just when a strange thing happened, a dragon soldier led a round and crawling to report: "Your Majesty, the wall has collapsed!"

"Wall? What wall?"

"I don't know why the wall of the palace (referring to the Huang family mansion) collapsed in a bang!"

"Boom..."

After a while, there was another loud noise!

Then another wall collapsed!

It turned out that the 3,000-pound cannon transported by a sailboat was fired and demolishing the house!

Although this cannon made by Ji Yi Investment's Jijia Tong Iron House, which is controlled by Ji Yi Investment, is also known as 3,000 kilograms, its caliber is smaller than the 3,000 kilogram cannon of Zhou Guo. The shells used are only 6 kilograms, and the gap between the shells and the barrels is too large, and the air leakage is severe. The power is discounted.

However, the power-saving cannons are still a piece of cake to deal with ordinary houses. After one shot, a piece of wall collapsed with a burst of collapse! In a short while, a gap of more than ten steps wide appeared on the wall on the east side of the Huang family mansion. There was no Jiaozhi soldiers guarding behind the gap. They were either crushed to death by the collapsed brick wall or scared away.

Dozens of Modaomen from the State of Song and hundreds of armored infantry formed a square formation outside the gap and prepared to launch an attack.

Before the sound of the attacking drums sounded, an old minister from Jiaozhi came out of the gap with the help of several eunuchs and shouted in a jackal Chinese language: "The Prince of Jiaozhi is here, don't fight again from the army generals of the Song Dynasty. Your Highness is willing to apologize to the Emperor of Song Dynasty, be willing to be good ministers of the Song Dynasty for generations, and be willing to present Guangyuanzhou to the Emperor of Song Dynasty. Please don't fight again..."

Qu Duan, Guo Hao and Tian Shizhong looked at each other and frowned a little.

What is this? I surrendered? I lost half of the surrender? No, the fake emperor of Jiaozhi Li Nigande has not surrendered yet! He wanted to discuss peace... He had fought to this point, so why would he discuss peace? After discussing peace, he could not capture Li Gande alive and sent him to Kaifeng Prefecture to offer prisoners, and there would be no great contribution to destroying the country...

"Don't pay attention to him!" Qu Duan hummed, "Go in first!"

Tian Shizhong, who was born in the Kaifeng Imperial Army, shook his head and said, "Li Gande is the king of a country after all. Now he proposes peace talks. Whether it is accurate or not, it should be said by Zhang Xuanshu, that we and other warriors should not exceed our authority."

As soon as he said this, Qu Duan had nothing to say. Other civil officials would not take him seriously, but Zhang Xiaochun was a teacher in the martial arts palace after all, and respecting teachers and respecting Taoism is not a matter of civil and military affairs.

Guo Hao held his beard and thought, "It's better to let Li Gande talk to Xuan Shuai himself."

"Speak by yourself? How do you say it?"

Guo Hao smiled: "Of course I went to Zhaoqing Prefecture to tell me... He wanted to agree, so we could also capture Jiaozhi County alive. If he didn't agree, it would be a fraud to surrender. If we fight again, it would not be overstepping our authority."

In fact, no matter how they do, they will not be detained for overstepping their authority! Now the Song Dynasty is an era when martial artists are educated. And a group of new military officers has also formed, together with the Qingcheng Bachelor's, Gezhi Bachelor's, and Bachelor of Arts and Sciences, it forms the backbone of the New Learning and New Party.

They are not as easy to deal with as reckless martial artists who have no groups and are not as knowledgeable as civil servants.

And they can also go to Zhou Guo... If you don’t stay here, you will have your own stay!

Under such circumstances, the two major principles of "using literature to control military affairs" and "the generals to control the country" in the Song Dynasty have also been greatly relaxed.

Zhang Xiaochun, who served as the Propaganda this time, was different from his previous civil service Propaganda. He was a Propaganda and had no local positions and only managed the military.

In addition, there were no eunuchs sent to supervise the army in the palace.

Therefore, the officers on the front line have great autonomy, such as Li Gandeqiuji. In the past, the commander of the side and the eunuchs and supervisors representing the palace had to make the decision together. Now, when the three battalions officials have put together a set of conditions for Li Gande, they send people to report to Yang Kebi who is commanding the ambush battle west of the town, while preparing for the attack.

"Just go," Li Gande knew that he could not hide, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "Zhaoqing Mansion is not a dragon and tiger den, even if it is a dragon and tiger den, I am not afraid!"

Fear is not afraid... The Song Dynasty was gentle both internally and externally. The monarchs of the enemy country who were caught would be granted a marquis or a lord. At most, they would be given some medicine to hold the machine, and they would not be able to kill them openly.

Moreover, the situation in Jiaozhi is different from that in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Jiaozhi has been independent of China for more than 170 years and has experienced the kings of the Wu Dynasty, Ding Dynasty, Li Dynasty and Li Dynasty.

The influence of the Central Plains on Jiaozhi almost disappeared. If the Song Dynasty wanted to appease the powerful and powerful people in Jiaozhi, it would have to treat the King of Li Dynasty and be a good example.

Most of them can still maintain the position of king of the Li Dynasty, or Li Gande continues to be the prince of Jiaozhi, or Li Chongde is the king. He uses the signature of the king of the Li Dynasty to appease the Jiaozhi people.

Although power cannot be compared with the past when he was independent and became king, he can still endure humiliation and maintain it. Maybe there is another chance of independence in the future!

Nanbatian Li Gande calculated for a long time, but finally decided to go to Zhaoqing Prefecture for a visit.

In fact, Zhaoqing Mansion must be visited. The question is just how to go, whether it is the whole or part of it, whether it is the one who goes with you decent or tied it with a rope to send it to Zhaoqing Mansion.

After all, let's go by yourself...

...

"Your Highness, I will tell you something, don't worry."

Zhang Xiaochun is as famous as his name, with a loyal and filial piety and kind face, and is very polite to Nan Tianba who is in trouble.

But after Nan Tianba proposed to "cede land and apologize for peace", he said with a wry smile: "The 20 warships and tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Republic landed on the Taiping River south of Anbangkou in half a month. Now he is building cities and ports for the long term."

"Da Zhou? Aren't they in Yan land?" Li Gande was a little confused.

He never regarded Zhou as an enemy! He knew the allusion of "far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to

Zhou State is far away and is definitely the target of distant friends. Why did Zhou State also rob with fire in the blink of an eye?

Has the King of Zhou, Head of State Wu, not read "The Strategies of the Warring States"?

Zhang Xiaochun sighed and said, "Although the Zhou State occupied the land of Yanliao and was seven or eight thousand miles away from Jiaozhi, it is not difficult to travel by sea. Zhou State emerged in Tianjin Commercial City, and it is based on commercial and maritime trade. There is also a great influence in the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Protectorate south of Jiaozhi... It is not an exaggeration to say that the Nanyang Protectorate is owned by our dynasty and Zhou State.

However, the journey from Nanyang to Tianjin is long, and there is no transit port in the middle that can be controlled by Zhou State. Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhou State covets Jiaozhi."

Zhang Xiaochun has been dealing with Su Shi and Ji Yi these days. Naturally, he figured out what Wu Haogu was trying to do with Jiaozhi.

The Nanyang Protectorate is a good place to be fat and oily. Of course, Wu Haogu was unwilling to give up - in fact, he did not give up. Hua Manshan has been stationed in Xingzhou for the past few years and has been operating the situation for the Dazhou.

However, because there is no reliable transit port between Zhou and Nanyang, oh, Taiwan is not a reliable transit port. Because Wu Haogu's previous operations in Taiwan were very weak, there was only a little situation in Lugang and Penghu. However, these two strongholds still need supplies from Fujian, so it is impossible to provide supplies to the huge southbound fleet.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Haogu gave Taiwan Island to Su Shi to control when he was separating Yan territory - this was also using the power of the Su family to develop Taiwan.

But Jiaozhi is different! Jiaozhi is a famous grain-producing area!

The colony established by Wu Haogu in Jiaozhi can provide supplies and placement points for the fleet and expeditionary forces.

Moreover, the Vietnamese nation had not yet been formed at this time. The Vietnamese and Han people were mixed together and could be said to be the people of China.

The Great Zhou Republic could have established a "samurai group" in the Taiping River Basin on the coast of Jiaozhi, and then rely on Jiaozhi warriors who are accustomed to the tropical climate to launch colonial invasion in the South China Sea.

"Shisan Xuan, if Zhou State takes over Jiaozhi, the Guangdong and Guangxi in Song Dynasty will be in danger!" Li Gande's eyes turned, and he was about to fool Zhang Xiaochun with the trick of losing his lips and cold teeth, but Zhang Xiaochun nodded and said something that almost made Li Gande angry to death.

"What the prince said is extremely true! If the Zhou State had not planned Jiaozhi, how could my Song Dynasty have any thoughts on Jiaozhi? But now that the Zhou State has attacked Jiaozhi, I, the Song Dynasty, cannot stand idly by. Instead of letting Zhou State annex Jiaozhi, it is better to let the Song Dynasty recover Jiaozhi. What does the prince think?"

What is this? Is it better to colonize me than colonize?
