The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 205 Donate armor
On the court in front of the palace, the oiran peak competition is about to begin. Many people come in, holding banners high.

Thousands of people in Jinyang County donated.

Thousands of people donated in Minggu...

Almost all of them are counties on the border between Northwest China and Xixia.

Since the last time many businessmen discussed donating in front of Liang Xin's house, Liang Xin had secretly arranged all this.

Shen Chong is powerful.

Recruiting [-] civilians and [-] craftsmen, one thousand of whom were skilled craftsmen, used the cold forging method of fine steel to create hundreds of millions of large fish scales in less than a month, and then organized the manpower Armor.

Eight thousand pairs.

On each armor, there is the name of the county on the left shoulder, and the name and household registration of the person who donated the armor is on the left shoulder.

Later, too many people donated.

Eight thousand pairs of armors can no longer satisfy the number of donors. For example, if someone donates a hundred pairs of armors, it is difficult for people to reduce the number.

Because of the donation of a pair of armor, the weapons inspector only accepted 38 pieces of armor.

So, donate something else.

Halberd, axe, hammer.

Stainless steel halberd, double-edged hatchet, and pumpkin hand hammer.

At the same time, the name is engraved.

The double-edged short ax of the Song Army was not used to chop people, it was a hidden weapon.

A concealed weapon weighing several kilograms.

On the battlefield, if you throw it at the enemy, if you are hit, you will either die or be disabled.

As soon as this massive crowd of civilians entered the scene.

Weiming Xihe, who was sitting at the VIP table, stood up and quickly walked to the seat of Fan Chunli, the Minister of Etiquette: "Mr. Fan, I've decided to get married."

Weiming Xihe was frightened.

People from cities, states, and prefectures on the border between the Song Dynasty and Xixia donated armor and weapons.

What does this mean?
This represents fighting spirit.

The Khitans have been slow to send troops and have no substantial support. If they continue to fight, Xixia will not be able to hold on. Once they lose too many main soldiers, Xixia will collapse.

Xixia is a multi-ethnic country mainly composed of Dangxiang people. In fact, there are also Han, Uighur, Tubo and other ethnic groups.

Since the dictatorship of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, big problems have arisen within Xixia.

Last year, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, with the help of a special envoy sent by the Liao Kingdom, planned to have him poisoned and announced that he died of illness.

Now is the critical time for the Xixia leader to regain power. If the fight continues and someone reveals the death of Empress Dowager Liang, civil strife will inevitably occur in Xixia.

Let's put this to rest.

Weiming Xihe sat on the seat next to Fan Chunli and said very sincerely: "We also agreed to lend [-] fine cavalry troops to help Kucha regain the country."

Fan Chunren smiled slightly: "That's easy to say."

Weiming Xihe: "What about the truce?"

Fan Chunren: “Where is the credentials?”

Weiming Xihe said: "I will immediately send my flying cavalry back to ask for credentials."

Fan Chunren: "Then I will immediately send six hundred miles to urgently ask King Cao to suspend his troops."

Wei Ming Xihe knew clearly that he had to make a decision now: "Borrow me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Fan Chunren gently waved his hand to the boy next to him: "Go and prepare everything before you go."

Just when the oiran peak competition was about to begin, Weiming Xihe wrote a letter in front of Fan Chunren, stamped it, attached a token, then sealed it with lacquer, put it in a box, and immediately sent someone to send it back. .Fan Chunren also signaled to ask the bodyguards to send an elite team to escort them.

Then Fan Chunren had no power to write a truce.

It was not suitable to send someone to find Liang Xin right now, so I went to find Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng can handle this matter.He quietly found Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji was very impatient: "The competition is about to start. At this time, you are talking to me about government affairs. Why are you such a miscellaneous slave so incompetent in doing things?"

Although scolding, Zhao Ji still wrote a few words casually: "Qing, stop your troops."

This matter was done openly.

Liang Xin quickly received the news. Instead of someone coming to inform Liang Xin, someone came over from Xiao Fengxian's side: "Just now, the envoys of Xixia and the Song Dynasty agreed to a truce. They have already sent people to fly back to the country to request letters of credence and discuss it. Regarding the marriage, the head of the Xixia Kingdom is about to marry the Song Dynasty Emperor Ji."

Di Ji is a new title.

Liang Xin's theory is that she followed the example of Zhou Li's title of Wang Ji and changed the title of the emperor's daughter to Emperor Ji.

Zhao Ji accepted this statement and got the title Di Ji.

Brother Richard smiled: "There are really not many good people named Liang."

Liang Xin scolded: "What do you mean?"

Brother Richard: "It's boring. Our Daxia Liang clan has been in power for 30 years, and someone killed his own brothers and clan in order to seize power. You are not a good person either, and now you are allowed to succeed."

Liang Xin smiled heartily: "You know that I am not a good person!"

Brother Richard was stunned.

There are people out there who would say they are not good people.

Liang Xin said: "Not only am I not a good person, I am also an evil person."

Xiao Feng first echoed: "Evil man, I believe this."

Not to mention Xiao Fengxianxin, who was far away in the capital of Liao Kingdom, even the future Lord of Liao knew the name of Liang Xin, a little evil person.

Yelu Hongji is dying.

The medical officer was at his wits' end.

Cao Song has returned to the guest house and closed the door to thank guests. He does not plan to go out these days and will stay quietly in the house.

But someone came to invite him.

Prime Minister of Liao, Xiao Baoxian came to invite him personally.

Cao Song couldn't refuse and just went to keep the appointment.

Cao Song met Yelu Yanxi, the grandson of the current emperor of Liao Dynasty.

No banquet was prepared, only weak tea.

After all, the Lord of Liao was seriously ill at this time and might die at any time.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Yelu Yanxi said, "I heard that the eldest daughter of your Cao family married the son of a eunuch."

Although he was facing the grandson of the emperor of Liao Kingdom, after hearing these words, Cao Song still responded rudely: "I, the Cao family, will not worry about what kind of in-laws to choose."

"No, I misunderstood." Yelu Yanxi bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just confirming my identity."

Cao Song replied: "Indeed."

Yelu Yanxi went straight to the topic: "I heard about one thing. Regarding a case in Bianjing City, many people from the Song Dynasty royal family were executed, and many people were stabbed and demoted to common people, but this incident happened in Bianjing City. There has been no further disturbance. The news I heard is that the mastermind of this matter is your uncle from the Cao family."

How do you say that?
Cao Song never expected that Yelu Yanxi would ask about this matter.

He didn't have time to think too much. After thinking quickly, Cao Song replied: "He is still young, and someone is helping him with this matter."

Yelu Yanxi asked more directly: "I would like to ask the Prime Minister to go to Bianjing as an envoy to talk about the benefits of the Song and Liao Dynasties. Can you arrange an introduction?"

"It's absolutely no problem. Brother Shen is my uncle of the Cao family after all. He will definitely receive Xiao Xiangguo grandly."

Xiao Baoxian said: "Can we meet in private?"

"definitely no problem."

Cao Songxin said, you really think Liang Xin is a baby. He is more cunning than me. You can meet him openly or privately.

Yelu Yanxi said to Cao Song: "If you don't use the Song envoy, I have a grudge in my heart, a deep hatred, but I am also afraid of causing unnecessary chaos, so I want to go and ask for advice. I will thank you very much."
