    Seeing Yelu Dashi's leaving figure, Xia Bolong's mind fell into chaos.  He clearly remembered that on March 20, 1127 AD, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured by the Jin soldiers, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished immediately. This incident was also called the shame of Jingkang.

    However, the news he learned from Li Shanmo was that the disgrace of Jingkang happened this year, 1125, far two years earlier than the year 1127 recorded in history. He didn't know why, and couldn't figure it out.

    "Is it because of my arrival that the events have changed? But I have been staying in Central Asia for the past few years and only stayed in the Song Dynasty for a few months. What can be changed? If it is a change,  I have indeed changed the distribution of power in the west and completed the territory occupied by Xiliao ahead of schedule, and it is larger than the territory of Xiliao. But what does this have to do with the Central Plains?"

    Xia Bolong couldn't figure it out. He wanted to know, so he decided to ask Li Shanmo and inquire about the strength of the Jin Army.  Test text watermark 6.

    In the post station in Gaochang City, Li Shanmo was restless in the room. Although he got Xia Bolong's reply, he couldn't accept it at this time.  If he waited another month, he didn't know if Xixia could hold on. The fierce offensive of the Jin army was too much for the Xixia people.

    ¡°Dong dong dong!¡±

    "Who is it?" Li Shanmo asked.

    Xia Bolong chuckled and said, "Is Mr. Li here?"

    When Li Shanmo heard Xia Bolong's voice, his face was very happy. He hurriedly opened the door and shouted: "Foreign Minister Li Shanmo comes to see"

    Xia Bolong didn't wait for Li Shanmo to kneel down, and hurriedly supported him, interrupted him, and said kindly: "Master Li, there is no need to be polite. This is not a palace, so you don't have to be so polite. Test text watermark 1."

    Li Shanmo said: "Your Majesty is visiting late at night. I wonder if there is something urgent?"

    "Well, it's a bit urgent, so I'm visiting late at night. I don't want to disturb Mr. Li's rest, right?" Xia Bolong said.

    Li Shanmo shook his head hurriedly, and welcomed Xia Bolong into the room, saying, "If your Majesty has anything to do, just ask, and the foreign minister will definitely do it well."

    "Oh, actually there is nothing wrong. I just want to ask you something about the Jin Army and the Song Army. The Dragon Empire is located in the remote Western Region and is not very clear about the outside world. In addition to the melee in the Central Plains in the past two years,  Our Dragon Empire¡¯s trade routes to the Central Plains have also been blocked, so we have temporarily stopped our trade routes to the East, and we know nothing about things in the East. Test text watermark 2.¡±

    "Oh, Your Majesty, if you want to ask anything, feel free to ask. The foreign minister will tell you everything he knows!"

    "What is the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army? Our army has never fought against the Jin Army, so we must first know our enemies and ourselves before we can win every battle."

    "Your Majesty, the Jin Army is very powerful. They are similar to His Majesty's army. They all have something called a cannon. They can fire cannons from very far away, and then bomb us, making us unable to defend ourselves and retreating!"

    "Youwhat did you say? Cannons? The Jin ArmyDoes the Jin Army also have cannons? Where did they get them?" Xia Bolong said very nervously.

    "It should be from the hands of the Song Army. The Song Army had a lot of cannons, but they were not as powerful as the Jin Army in using them, so their emperor was captured. Test text watermark 9."

    Xia Bolong suddenly realized that a few years ago, when Xia Bolong led his army to conquer Xixia, the army was equipped with many cannons. Although Ling Zhen was the main designer, other craftsmen also participated, and they would definitely be able to build the cannons.

    "Oh, that's it. After hearing what you said, I can probably understand. It should be that the Jin Army fought with the Song Army, captured the Song Army's on the battlefield, and then ordered craftsmen to imitate it. In this way, the Jin Army  The strength is very strong.¡±

    "Your Majesty has promised to support Xixia, please don't go back on it!" Li Shanmo heard Xia Bolong's weak tone and was afraid that he would go back on his word again, so he hurriedly shouted.

    Xia Bolong said: "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. I will never go back on what I promised you. Test text watermark 7."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty. Now Xixia is facing the threat of annihilation. If Your Majesty can really help our country survive this crisis, Xixia will surrender to Your Majesty, be loyal to Your Majesty forever, and will never betray Your Majesty!" Li Shanmo said solemnly.  said.

    Xia Bolong said: "I have promised you that I will send troops on time in one month. Mr. Li, you have a good rest here for now. I will send someone to take you out of the city early tomorrow morning. Starting from tomorrow, thirty days later, I will  The army will definitely go to support your country. I also ask Mr. Li to make it clear to the leader of your country that our Dragon Empire will not sit idly by and watch our neighbors being bullied. After all, we are in the same boat.?Single.  Our country is different from the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty has a vast territory and rich products. If we go to war with the Jin Army now, I am afraid that it will deplete the vitality of our country. Once the Seljuks invade again, or someone rebels again, how will our army respond?  ?  "

    "Well, what you said makes sense. I also know these things. So what do you think we should do?" Liu Chengzong said.

    Liu Chengzong said: "After three years of resting troops, using limited resources to develop animal husbandry and commerce, externally contacting the Song Dynasty, and internally cultivating diligent administration, within three years, the Dragon Empire will surely become a truly powerful country!"

    "That's good, but I didn't see that you still have the talent to govern the country. This is a strategy to strengthen the country." Xia Bolong said, "However, my promise to send troops is just a pretense. It just gives the Xixia people some confidence.  With this hope, they will fight the Jin army to the end."

    After hearing this, Liu Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood Your Majesty."

    "It doesn't matter. Come, follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and tell the Prime Minister what you just said." Xia Bolong stood up, pulled Liu Chengzong and hurried out.
