When Zhao Yingluo saw that Zongze praised Zhang Jun so much, her worries dissipated a lot!
After the battle layout was determined, Yue Fei, Wang Zaixing, Wang Shan and others immediately led the army to leave Kaifeng and go to garrison in the east and west.
Zhao Yingluo led the remaining [-] private soldiers to garrison in a small town north of Kaifeng.
After nearly a year of construction, the town has basically completed the construction of all buildings from the inside to the outside, and the rest are minor repairs.
The 12-meter-high and eight-meter-wide city wall became an important barrier to defend this town. Once the Jin people crossed the river to attack Kaifeng, this town became the first barrier to defend Kaifeng. The city stood still.
As for the facilities inside the town, they are even more complete!Residential areas, commercial areas, equipment manufacturing areas, and training grounds are all available, and they are armed to the teeth.
Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi led an army of [-] people from Zhongshan Prefecture in the middle and went southward. After marching to Handan City, they paused southward and at the same time sent envoys to Kaifeng to negotiate with the Kaifeng city defenders.
【Political Affairs Hall】
After Zhang Tonggu, the envoy from the Central Plains sent by the Jin people, arrived in Kaifeng, he came to the political affairs hall arrogantly and ordered Zhao Yingluo, Zongze, Lu Haowen, Li Gang, Han Shizhong and others to kneel facing north to accept the edict.
Zhao Yingluo snorted coldly! "We, the people of the Song Dynasty, only kneel to our parents in heaven and earth and the emperor of the Song Dynasty. How can we kneel to the uncivilized savages? If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, let it go!"
The three old men Zongze were already angry, but Zhao Yingluo's scolding made them less angry. However, the last word seemed to lack some elegance.
Zhang Tonggu was used to being arrogant when facing the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty. He was unexpectedly scolded like this, and his old face turned red. "You... you are a woman, why do you speak so vulgarly?"
"This county mainly depends on who you say it to. When it comes to people, you should be polite!"
Her last sentence made Zhang Tonggu even more miserable. If he was polite to people, wouldn't that mean he was vulgar to things that were not human?
"Bold! I am an envoy from the Central Plains sent by the Kingdom of Jin. You are so unreasonable. Don't you want to negotiate?"
"Let's talk! The princess just said that if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I have..."
Before Zhao Yingluo could finish speaking, Han Shizhong coughed dryly and interrupted her. After all, he was an envoy, and it was inappropriate to anger the other party without knowing their intentions.
Han Shizhong stood up and said politely, "What's the matter with your visit to Tokyo?"
Zhang Tonggu was furious when he saw that everyone in the room except him was sitting motionless on their chairs!Back then, the two emperors had to kneel down to accept the edict, but now even the officials of the Song court were so stubborn.
He intended to walk away, but if the edict was not announced, how could he deliver the message to Wanyan Zonghan?In desperation, he had no choice but to face south, opened the edict and began to read it in a formal manner: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin issued an edict to temporarily suspend the war between the Jin and Song Dynasties in the past two years. When the debate began, the two countries communicated with each other and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. However, the Song court recklessly started a war and invaded the friendly country of the Jin Kingdom, Daqi, resulting in Lives were devastated and people suffered. His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom put an end to the war and sent envoys southward, ordering the Song Dynasty army to withdraw from Jingdong East Road, West Road, North Road, Hebei East Road, and Hebei West Road within ten days! The above ceded to the Da Jin Dynasty Qi! And compensate the Kingdom of Jin with 50 taels of silver and silk each! If the Song Dynasty does not comply, the Kingdom of Jin will be furious. The day the army goes south will be the day when the Song Dynasty is destroyed..."
Before Zhang Tonggu finished speaking, Zongze, Lu Haowen, Han Shizhong and others were already extremely dark-faced!
If you really agree to the Jin people's request and withdraw from those roads, it will be equivalent to giving up all the land north of the Yellow River to the Puppet Qi, not to mention compensating the other party with huge amounts of silver and silk!
"Destroy you!" Zhao Yingluo stood up, took advantage of his unpreparedness, turned around and kicked Zhang Tonggu into the ground while he was still reading the imperial the ten guards who guarded Zhang Tonggu read out the edict saw that their master had been insulted, they all drew their swords and prepared to swarm Zhao Yingluo and cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.
But the next moment, there was a "bang", and the first person screamed and fell to the ground instantly, holding his thigh and rolling on the ground, leaving blood on the ground.
Han Shizhong did not expect that Zhao Yingluo would suddenly attack, and the three old men did not expect that she would directly confront the Jin messenger.
Zhang Tonggu was filled with fear. When did the officials of the Song Dynasty become so stubborn?He actually ignored Dai Jin's envoy.
The Jin envoy came to announce the edict. Zhao Yingluo probably knew that it was not a good thing, so she was well prepared before coming. She carried a revolver made by local methods with her.
The pistol was made bit by bit by hand by the blacksmiths and pharmacists. It took almost ten craftsmen nearly a month to make such a pistol and ten bullets that could be used normally. Therefore, this pistol cannot be used. Massively armed troops like simple firecrackers.
When the others saw that their accomplice was injured, they became furious and rushed forward to kill her...
"Bang bang bang..."
Three gunshots were fired in a row, and three more people fell to the ground wailing.
who are they?They are the first-class warriors selected by the Kingdom of Jin. Not to mention a weak woman like Zhao Yingluo, they can even fight against ten men from Song Ting!
But this weak woman, who knows what kind of magic she used, actually seriously injured four people in just a few breaths! After seeing how terrifying she was, the other six people hesitated to step forward.
Zhang Tonggu broke out in a cold sweat. If this woman cast evil spells on herself, she would probably end up like them.
As the saying goes, two armies are fighting without killing each other. Zhao Yingluo's shots did not hit the opponent's vital points and spared their lives.
While spinning the revolver in her hand, she said leisurely, "Has the edict been announced?"
Zhang Tonggu nodded subconsciously, "It's over."
"Tell your emperor, if you want to fight, then fight! The Song Dynasty is not afraid! But I would like to advise your majesty, it is good for everyone to open up the discussion properly. If we really want to start a war! Don't talk about Jingdongdong. Lu, Xilu and other Song Dynasty territories, even the sixteen states of Yanyun, you can't even hope to occupy them for a long time."
Zhang Tonggu was angry and frightened, and his face was sometimes pale and sometimes livid.
Before he was ordered to come to Kaifeng, he thought that the Song people were afraid of the Golden Cavalry because of the previous wars, and he would be treated like an emperor. Even if the Song court did not agree to cede the land, compensation would always be agreed, right? But this time, I encountered a tough problem, and it was a woman.
However, Zhang Tonggu still didn’t give up, “Is she the one who has the final say here?”
Han Shizhong was about to argue, but Zongze snatched his words away, "What she said is what we mean. If the Jin people really want to invade, I will let you bleed on the battlefield! How can I, the Song Dynasty, Being insulted by foreigners.”
