Chapter 1820 The sand is fine

In Yujin Garden, Zhao Xu is taking Chuer and Zhao Mao to watch the elephants.

Shali, the little elephant herder of Jiaozhi, is now an adult, married and has a son. The name Zhao Xu gave him back then was called Shafu, with a small character.

Silly blessing, the sand is fine. When Su You heard someone call the sand this for the first time, he couldn't stop laughing.

The elephant herd was an important facility for court ceremonies, and the court's ceremonial carriages and horses were under the jurisdiction of Taipus Temple. Therefore, Shafu was still engaged in the elephant garden of Taipus Temple in the Song Dynasty, and was a green-robed minor official.

The elephant is very smart and can perform some performances to make the two silly and bold children giggle.

Yujin Garden is now a large zoo and botanical garden. It is not only a place for recreation, but also an important scientific research base.

There are two buildings here, one is the Tropical Pavilion, which contains a variety of cacti, prickly pears, fly-eaters, baobabs, etc. that come from the tropics and are considered strange to the people of Bianjing City. There are also giant mountain tortoises.

, tuatara, giant turtle, gibbon, chimpanzee.

The other building is a herbarium, which is partially open to the public and displays various animal and plant specimens according to the scientific classification of phylum, order, family, genus and species.

The most amazing branch of the herbarium is the fossil museum.

Ancient fossils discovered from central Sichuan, Liaodong, Dali, and the northwest are stored here, some of which are quite huge.

Recently, a giant dragon fossil from Tingzhou in Western Xinjiang was delivered. It is a full ten feet long and can be called the treasure of the museum.

Master Shiyi also made a restoration picture for this, with a bridle on the dinosaur's head, and a little man from the Western Regions holding a long rope underneath, negotiating with the gatekeeper at the south gate of Bianjing City. It seemed that he wanted to

He must lead this huge creature as high as the city wall into the city.

The dinosaur's tail occupies half of the street, and there is a peace carriage at the end. The driver is sitting on the ground, looking at his horse struggling in vain, and is scared to death.

The gatekeeper looked nervous and waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was absolutely impossible for such a giant beast to enter the imperial city.

And around them, there were people who were either curious or frightened.

This painting is extremely vivid and is named "Binlong Picture of the Western Regions". It is now hanging in the Fossil Museum.

Su You wanted to say that Master Shiyi's imagination was so rich that dinosaurs and humans were simply not the same generation.

But he was troubled by the fact that he couldn't produce any evidence.

Although the Imperial Academy of the Capital has constantly emphasized that this so-called "dragon" is actually a huge lizard from ancient times, it still cannot stop many people from Bianjing City bringing their families and children to pray for peace.

Yujin Garden is not far from Dutingyi. When Colander rushed over, Zhao Xu was drinking tea and watching the two children happily sitting on the elephant chariot on the back of the elephant, being carried around in the elephant garden by the grains of sand.

.

Seeing the colander, Zhao Xu asked: "I heard there was really a fight?"

Colander glanced at the people around Zhao Xu, bowed and saluted: "I was in charge of Honglu Temple. Something like this happened not long ago. It is really derelict and incompetent. I apologize to your majesty."

Only then did Zhao Xu straighten his expression: "He disregarded his face, did not abide by etiquette, got into a fight with a crowd, and killed people! How can he be an envoy participating in rituals? None of the Dongsheng barbarians are like this!"

Colander quickly bowed: "I neglected my duty and I am guilty."

Zhao Xu snorted: "If you are guilty of dereliction of duty, you will be impeached by your own platform. How is Honglu Temple going to deal with it now?"

Colander said: "Li Shi, Yelu Chuzhen, and Gong Yi are obviously not suitable candidates for envoys. The court should severely punish them and send them back, and order the three groups to send more mature and serious people to negotiate."

"In addition, Duting Post should be abolished, three more post houses should be built, and the three Liao envoys should be placed separately to avoid such incidents from happening again."

This is actually a downgrade. Among all the foreign countries at present, only the Liao Kingdom dares to call it a brother state of the Song Dynasty. Now the Liao Kingdom does not respect etiquette and law first, and it has been divided into three. It should be said that there is nothing wrong with the handling of the colander.

And for the Third Route Liao Envoy, this is probably the best choice.

The purpose of the three envoys sent by the Liao State was very clear, which was to win the support of the Song State for their master and secure a greater chance of winning before he ascended the throne.

However, Da Song was unwilling to make such a choice, and did not want to express his attitude. He wanted to leave more room for maneuver for his backhand.

Hence the colander arrangement.

It is impossible to place all three Liao envoys in Duting Posthouse without causing conflicts.

As long as there is a conflict, the Song Dynasty can find any excuse to drive them away, and it will be several months before they come back after a replacement.

But the throne of Liao Kingdom cannot be delayed for a few more months.

The three Liao envoys were expelled by the Song Dynasty and returned in embarrassment. However, Yelv Chuzhen was lucky. The previous negotiations with Laoshao on behalf of Beiting went smoothly and the text of the resolution was obtained. Although he was expelled, at least the "business" was not delayed.

In November, the Song Dynasty sent the Tianping Army Su Chihuo to set up an envoy for Runqian's two-state system and take over the two cities north of Yuguan. At the same time, the Xingcheng Shipping Department on Juehua Island was officially opened, protected by the Beiyang Fleet, and Xue Fang was sent

Promote the Municipal Shipping Department.

The first batch of 500,000 arrows, no less than one, were all delivered to the Beiting, and the Song Dynasty kept its word.

Five hundred thousand arrows sounds like a lot, but according to the calculation of cavalry with a hundred arrows per ride during the heyday of the Liao Kingdom, this amount of arrows could only serve 5,000 people.

When the new city of Xiongzhou was built, the prefect Dou Shunqing buried millions of arrow shafts into the city wall, and Su You prepared to process them all into products and sell them to the Liao Kingdom.

The meritorious blasting team that blasted through the Shilingguan Tunnel was also led by gold medal blaster Wang Liang and arrived in Xizhou. With the assistance of the Liao people, they began surveying and mapping to prepare for the Jianchangling road widening project.

In November, the Northern Court appointed Prime Minister Xiao Tuobujia as Shanling envoy, and Liao Xingjun Jiedu envoy Xiao Yi as Beifu Prime Minister. They were in charge of military and state affairs, and were in charge of military affairs, punishment, officials, households, work, and rituals.

King Yelu Ding of Qin was established as the new king, and the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty was changed. The concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, Xiao Guige, was appointed as the imperial concubine, and the empress Xiao Duolilan was appointed as the empress dowager.

After that, he made a large number of ministers.

Xiao Fengxian was granted the title of King of Han, and he established important military and state affairs.

Yelu was granted the title of King Qi and was in charge of the Privy Council.

Wang Shiru was granted the title of Zou Guogong and took charge of the academy.

Xiao Wuna was appointed as the Taifu, Ertel was appointed as the Taibao, and Shanling envoy Xiao Tuobujia was appointed as the Taifu.

The rest of the Han people deployed Xiao Temo in the palace, and the deputy commander of the army marching to the east was in charge of the war. Yelu Shenjianu, the envoy of Uku Festival, and Yelu Dabeinu were all inspected in front of the palace, and they were all rewarded with great rewards.

Not to be outdone, the King of Wei in the Western Court broke out completely after receiving the imperial edict. He made the emperor's uncle the supreme emperor, established himself as king, and became the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. He changed his name to Yuan Rensheng and took the title of Emperor Tianxi.

Li Chuwen was the prime minister, Zuo Qigong was in charge of political affairs, Yu Zhongwen was in charge of imperial edicts, and Li Chuneng was in charge of the Privy Council.

He entered the King of Qi in Xiao Qian and took charge of all the troops and horses. King Xi returned to Libao and advanced to the Xingliao Army as a military governor and served as deputy commander. Xiao Yuqing entered the Duke of Yan and served as the supervisor of the army.

The rest of his subordinates, Zhang Jue, Cao Yongyi, Zhang Dungu, etc., all have advanced levels.

Wang Jing denounced the two ministries for disregarding the overall situation, disrespecting Zhengshuo, only seeking personal gain, and putting the world into disintegration. Bingyin changed the Yonghe Palace into the Wende Palace, and established King Yelv Chongren of Jin as the new king, with Concubine Wen.

As the Empress Dowager, she changed her name to Chengkang of Yuan Dynasty and took the title of Emperor Qinzuo.

However, the Eastern Court was more organized. Wang Jing ordered the ministers of the Southern Court to abide by their duties. Except for Yelu Yuxu, who had made great contributions and was canonized as the King of Bohai, the others retained their original positions.

The three groups sent envoys to the Song Dynasty again, claiming that they were the legitimate heirs of the Liao Kingdom.

In Guiyou and Yelu Chun issued a proclamation, taking the excuse that Beiting was in charge of the imperial court, his relatives were in power, and he was changing the country to Zuo, he launched a Northern Expedition in an attempt to occupy the Zhongjing Road.

The orthodox and Chengkang dynasties immediately declared Yelu Chun to be a traitor, deposed him as a commoner for five generations, and removed his name from the clan genealogy.

Ma Renwang, who stayed behind in Beijing, asked Dongting for material assistance and Beiting for military assistance, while organizing Daonanzhou County to resist.

After Beiting received the first batch of 500,000 arrows as aid from the Song Dynasty, it immediately attacked the bandits on the Shangjing Road.

Xiao Fengxian took Taifu Xiao Wuna and Taibao Ertle as commanders, and finally basically quelled the civil unrest in Shangjing Road.

Among them, Hou Ji and Zhang Nu were wiped out by Xiao Wuna. An Sheng'er and Zhang Gao'er were wiped out by Etle. The only remaining rebel army was Dong Pang'er who joined Huo Liuge and fled to the vicinity of Hanzhou with the intention of attaching themselves to Nüzhi.

, and at the same time sent an envoy to Dongting, hoping to accept the recruitment.

Etle reorganized the captured hungry people into eight battalions, which meant repaying evil with kindness, and called them the "Grudge Army".

He also selected the popular leader from among the bandit leaders and appointed him as a commander, so that he could attack the remaining rebels.

As a result, the resentful army not only suffered a defeat in combat, but also rebelled one after another.

Dong Xiuo, the general of the resentful army on the Southeast Road, was executed by Xiao Wuna because of his failure in conquering Lizhou's rebellion. His subordinates Luo Qinghan, Dong Zhongsun and others immediately led the resentful army to rebel.

Etel led the remaining resentful troops Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, etc. in the expedition, and also killed Luo Qinghan and Dong Zhongsun, finally quelling the war.

In order to completely solve the problem of the resentful army, Xiao Wuna suggested to Etle that the resentful army should lay down its weapons, accept reorganization, and then be upgraded to the palace tent sequence.

However, he privately told Ertele: "The two battalions rebelled before, plundered Qianzhou, and then tried to recruit peace. Now they rebel again. If our army does not come, tens of thousands of residents will be killed if the city is destroyed."

"The so-called resentful army failed to complain against the Tatars, but repeatedly complained against my family. If we don't induce them to disarm and send troops to cover up and kill them all, we will never have future troubles."

Etle disagreed and said: "There are also those who are loyal and loyal for a moment, so how can we kill them all?"

Just when the horse people were looking for help, Etle ordered Yaoshi Guo and others to lead the troops south to the Zhongjing Road. It was called a rescue, but in fact it was to throw these plague gods south to be used as cannon fodder.

Ma Renwang was a Shilin Qingwang, and he hated these rebels who accepted the invitation. He only gave Guo Yaoshi and others a small amount of food and fodder. He even refused to allow them to enter the Dading Mansion and asked them to go south to resist the Northern Expedition led by Xiao Qian and Xiao Yuqing.
