Chapter 229 Chinese Orthodoxy
"You still don't understand the situation of the military weapon surveillance. In fact, Wen has not done enough!" Wen Tianxiang is actually quite proud. The military weapon surveillance has been too short of money before, but now it has a lot of investment and sufficient capital flow, which is really a leap.
In the past, the imperial court had to raise 300,000 yuan, but it could only barely maintain operations. Now, only 50,000 yuan can be used to operate the military weapon surveillance smoothly, and even one or two major projects can be operated at the same time.
However, at the request of his eldest disciple, the teacher was generous and honest and could reduce the burden on the court. The annual funding limit was a minimum of 100,000 yuan, and he firmly wanted to do so, and he could not lose a copper coin, otherwise how did you think those three new sailboats were obtained?
"Mr. Wen is really too humble. Your military weapon surveillance can not only create benefits, but also play an irreplaceable role in this war!" After Hao Jing restored his freedom, he first noticed the changes in the Southern Song Dynasty department.
"I am not so powerful, my disciple is so powerful. Without him, our military weapon prison, I am not as poor as before!" Wen Tianxiang said from the bottom of his heart.
To be honest, he is a sincere person, without much scheming. Although he is extremely smart, he is a very affectionate person.
"You are talking about the new deputy commander of the coastal system, Song Chen. When he arrived in Yangzhou, I was already on the way to Lin'an. It's really a pity to see him if I don't have the chance!" Hao Jing sighed, as if he really wanted to know Song Chen.
He would better not meet Song Chen. When Song Chen saw him, he had to punch him a few times. This guy was loyal to the Mongolian Yuan, but was an enemy of the country connected to his bloodline. He had quite the "Su Wu legacy" and insisted on Xiaoyi, but gave up Dayi.
Now even the simple Wen Tianxiang became alert. How did he get this information? You should know that Hao Jing had been under house arrest in Yangzhou before, and the officers and soldiers responsible for the detention were strictly prohibited from passing messages to them.
Not long after Hao Jing recovered his freedom, why did he be so clear about the tricks in the court?
"Ambassador Hao seems to be revitalized, otherwise he would be so interested in the affairs of the Southern Dynasties!" Wen Tianxiang said with some meaning.
"This is what Mr. Hao is responsible!" Hao Jing didn't care at all.
"So since Ambassador Hao is so well-informed, he shouldn't be unaware that the offense and defense are now in a different way!" Wen Tianxiang wanted to accumulate more chips and create a momentum for himself.
When he left today, Jia Sidao gave him a list, which was the bottom line of the court's peace talks, which made him remember. Finally, after he nodded and said that he had already remembered it, he burned the list.
The order made Wen Tianxiang, who was very energetic, almost cursed in front of Lao Jia. How could he be like this as a minister?
Even though I have won a battle, why do I still have to retreat!
You should know that in the original history, when the Mongolian army had already arrived at Lin'an City, the Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing sent him to negotiate with the Mongolians (please surrender). Even in that case, Wen Tianxiang had the style of not humiliating the dynasty. He argued with reason and even cursed the Mongolian Prime Minister Boyan. At that time, Liu Mengyan, who had already sold himself for glory, was even scolded by him so much that he could not raise his head.
However, there are consequences for doing so. Our national soul was detained by Mongolia, who is supreme in the "Guest Law". (Extra: Ye Mengding and Chen Yizhong, a fellow traveler, went back safely)
Wen Tianxiang is an extremely smart person. Even under close surveillance, he came to escape the perfect cicada and actually ran to Fujian, found the organization again, and continued to fight with the Mongolian Yuan.
You should know that when the Southern Song Dynasty had won a great victory, Wen Tianxiang didn’t know how "the style of a great power" would be to the extent that he would make Kublai Khan so angry that he vomited blood.
Song Chen was very dissatisfied with the teacher being the peacekeeping ambassador, but what he didn't know was that this time it was to protect him that he did this thankless errand.
"No, this battle in Xiangyang was just a small setback. Think about how many defeats we Mongolia had in the battle for a hundred thousand years, but we all recovered quickly, and soon the self-righteous enemy would pay a greater price!" Hao Jing said this time with gunpowder.
"We Mongolia, don't forget that you are Han people, I am also Han people, and I am the Han dynasty of the Southern Dynasties. Ambassador Hao studied Confucianism and seemed to have forgotten who is the orthodox Chinese!" Wen Tianxiang's scholar's temper was offended again. After hearing Hao Jing's gunpowder-smelling words, he began to attack this sensitive topic.
In fact, denying the Mongol Yuan is not a rude, it can be understood as a negotiation strategy. It is very rude to deny Hao Jing himself now, and it is not a rude to hit someone in the face.
This is not conducive to future negotiations. After all, he himself received several pieces of information from the Imperial City Department and confirmed that the Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to this Han minister.
The awareness of nation-states is generally not strong now. The north has been separated from the orthodox Chinese in China for a long time. It has been more than 400 years since the earliest Five Dynasties Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. Therefore, people in the north are officials under alien regimes and even become enemies of the orthodox Chinese in the south. This is not shameful for people to think that even people in the south do not have that kind of thought.
Although the relationship between the two sides is not good, few people blame each other on nationality.
"Although Mr. Hao is not worthy, how could he forget that during the Northern Dynasties, I went to the Temple of Yanshenggong in Qufu twice to worship. I wonder how many times have Lord Wen been there?" Hao Jing's meaning is very obvious. Since you say that "Chinese Orthodox" is considered yourself, then as an orthodox, the Confucius Temple in Qufu is not in your hands in the Southern Dynasties, and Yanshenggong was also in the Northern Dynasties.
"With the Chinese ritual, I will worship Confucius in all seasons, and only I will be the only one in the court!" Wen Tianxiang meant that although you were telling the truth, your Northern Emperors did not worship Confucius, but the emperors of our dynasty would worship Confucius once a year. This is the orthodox Chinese.
"Mr. Wen looks at me, like me, thousands of people in the Northern Dynasties." Hao Jing turned around in front of Wen Tianxiang. My clothes, my clothes, are not Han clothes, how can I say that I am an alien?
"Hmph, Yi Ye, Heart is not!" Wen Tianxiang's words became heavier and heavier.
"You Nanman is the monkey-like man!" Hao Jing, who was very angry, was completely angry and slapped the table.
When Wen Tianxiang heard this, he started to curse the Tartars. The two ambassadors quarreled for a long time before they returned to their respective homes.
...
When Song Chen received the news that the backer went north to negotiate peace, he jumped up in a hurry. He did not fiercely oppose the peace talks, but did not want the backer to act as the job, because he knew the teacher's temper and did not provoke the Mongols to cut him down.
