    Chapter 260 The Ups and Downs "Reporting to Your Majesty, Du Gao has taken the First Guard Division to the Plateau Zhadala Department with Jamuka.,," Ding Chuan had just left the Blackwater Camp after the First Division, and he immediately got  He received the news and immediately went to the palace to report it.  "Have you brought enough firearms?" Han Zhongwei asked. Du Gao followed Jamuka to the grassland this time. He had only one main target, and that was the Qiyan tribe and Temujin. Han Zhongwei's instruction to Du Gao was that as long as the Qiyan tribe was  You must not show mercy to those who are serious, especially Temujin's brothers, sworn brothers, adopted sons, sons, generals, etc. You will kill them if you catch them, if there are conditions, and if there are no conditions, you will kill if you create conditions.  .  "There are ten thousand landmines and one hundred thousand grenades. If Jamuka knew about this, I wonder what his success would be like?" Ding Chuan said with a smile.  "Although firearms are valuable, if they can replace human lives, no matter how much money they spend, they are worth it. Besides, are these firearms really valuable to us?" Han Zhongwei said with a smile. Now he sells firearms to Jin and Song.  Most of them have adopted the barter method. The material exchanged for one landmine is enough to make ten or even twenty or thirty landmines. Therefore, these landmines and grenades are ridiculously expensive to outsiders.  In Han Zhongwei's eyes, it was worthless.  "Yeah, this time Jamukha smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. I heard that he even made a calculation. This time, each person in the begging department is only worth six guans, haha." Ding Chuan said with a smile.  .  "Yes, when the firearm is used for the first time, it will definitely have miraculous effects. Don't say that Temujin only sent 10,000 people. Even if he sent all the people from the Qiyan Department, the result would be the same. But in that case, it would be really  It's too boring. By the way, Du Gao will send back news every few days?" Han Zhongwei said with a smile. Originally, he also wanted to go to the Plateau Zhada tribe to meet Temujin in person on the battlefield, seeing that it was him.  The Mongolian cavalry is more powerful than the escort armed with firearms, but as soon as he expressed this idea, he received opposition from everyone.  Ding Chuan was worried that Han Zhongwei would leave privately, and even brought a battalion of 500 guards to the palace. On the surface, he was protecting the prince, but in fact he was afraid that he would go to the grassland alone.  "For half a month, if there is a war, it will be reported once a day. This time he brought more than fifty carrier pigeons, which is enough for him to use." Ding Chuan said, since carrier pigeons were determined by Han Zhongwei as the main means of communication, black  There are already more than a thousand homing pigeons trained in the city. As soon as there is emergency information from the Jin Kingdom, Song Kingdom, and Xixia other places, it will be immediately transmitted to the Black City.  These pigeons were all trained by Ding Chuan, and he has always been proud of it. It was precisely because of this incident that he was able to establish his position as the number one intelligence leader under Han Zhongwei.  "I really want to fight Temujin on the battlefield, but it's boring like this, boring." Han Zhongwei looked at the north and sighed.  If you can fight against Temujin, who is famous in history, and defeat him, maybe you can also be famous in history like him, right?  But now Han Zhongwei can't go. To be sure, he has to provide logistical support.  """""" "Does the prince feel bored because he can't go to the grassland?" Ding Chuan said with a chuckle.  "You think you can stop me with just one battalion of guards? It's a joke." Han Zhongwei sneered. He had practiced internal skills and mental techniques for several years, and also learned Qing Kung Fu from Li Xiongba.  Not being able to come in and out freely is a big joke.  "Your Majesty is both civil and military, how can anyone in the world find you?" Ding Chuan said with a smile.  "The reason why I didn't go to the grassland is actually because I want to go to a more important place." Han Zhongwei said. In front of Ding Chuan, he didn't need to hide anything.  "I wonder where the prince is going?" Ding Chuan thought and thought of a place, but it is not appropriate to be smart in such a situation. Although Han Zhongwei is only the prince of Xixia now, in the eyes of Ding Chuan and other people under Han Zhongwei, Han Zhongwei has already  It has become the supreme existence in their minds, higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.  "Jin Guo, although we are helping Jamuka this time, we are actually solving problems for Jin Guo. Now I provide people, money and efforts, but as for Jin Guo, we can't just show some respect, right?" Han Zhongwei smiled.  said.  Traitor, true traitor, Ding Chuan said in his heart. Han Zhongwei was obviously very jealous of Temujin from the begging department, and wanted to get rid of him quickly, but now he wants to drag Jin Guo over. I really don¡¯t know what Wanyan Xun admits.  Is this master his misfortune or luck?  There is absolutely no problem for Han Zhongwei to go to the Kingdom of Jin. Ding Chuan neither dares nor will stop him.  In the Kingdom of Jin, Ding Chuan also established an intelligence network all over the country. Although the main target is still in Zhongdu, Ding Chuan will know immediately if there is any trouble in the Kingdom of Jin.  "I wonder when the prince will set off?" Ding Chuan asked, and at the same time he was calculating in his mind how many cars to prepare this time to get back the blackmail that the prince had extracted from the Kingdom of Jin.?, neither the emperor nor the prince of the Kingdom of Jin could avoid this meal.  "The sooner the better, how about setting off tomorrow?" Han Zhongwei said.  "My subordinates will make arrangements immediately." Now Han Zhongwei's identity is extraordinary. He is the prince of Xixia, and he is also a prince with a heavy army and actual control of seven states. In Xixia, he is the only one who has this share.  .  What's more, the Kingdom of Jin is paying more and more attention to firearms. The more they pay attention to firearms, the more respect they will have for Han Zhongwei. Not to mention that Han Zhongwei was originally Wanyan Xun's master. Apart from this, Wanyan Jing had to receive him grandly.  This time Han Zhongwei went to the Kingdom of Jin in a completely public identity, in the name of the King of Xixia Xia. Although he only gave one day's notice in advance, when Wanyanjing learned that Han Zhongwei was going to visit the Central Capital of the Kingdom of Jin in person, he immediately ordered people to step up orders from Bali to officials along the way.  , Han Zhongwei must be received like the Emperor of Xixia.  Wanyan Jing didn't know what Han Zhongwei was doing in Zhongdu, but just in case, he immediately issued an order for Wanyan Xun to return to Zhongdu. No matter what the fighting was on the front line, he should immediately hand it over to his deputy and return to Beijing immediately.  This time when Han Zhongwei went to the Kingdom of Jin, he actually did not want to make a big splash. He only brought a regiment of 2,000 guards and Zhang Zhongtong, Ding Chuan and others.  In addition, Ding Chuan was worried that there would not be enough carriages to transport goods when Zhongdu arrived, so he ordered a thousand two-wheeled carriages to follow.  Of course, except for a few dozen carriages containing Han Zhongwei's personal clothes and the baggage of the escort team, the rest of the thousand carriages were empty.  But it was precisely because of Ding Chuan that Han Zhongwei's momentum was extremely large. It was nothing to be accompanied by two thousand escorts, but it was intriguing to have a thousand carriages behind him.  Along the way, both officials and people were thinking, King Xia respected the Emperor of Jin enough to bring so many gifts, a thousand cars in total. How big of a place could this be stored in?  Even for the sake of this thousand-car gift, the officials of the Kingdom of Jin would receive him with high standards. Now coupled with the emperor's will, no one dared to despise him.  As soon as Han Zhongwei's team entered the border of Jin Kingdom, they saw dozens of Jin Kingdom officials lining up at the pass to greet them. The leader was Wanyan Fuxing, the prefect who had come from Hohhot overnight.  "Wanyan Fuxing, the prefect of Hohhot, bowed to the King of Daxia." When Wanyan Fuxing saw Han Zhongwei, who was dressed in pure white robes, he immediately came up and bowed to him, just like a subordinate meeting his superior.  In Xixia, white is valued, just like the Song Dynasty valued yellow. In Xixia, not everyone can wear white.  You can wear bright yellow clothes and swagger through the streets of Xixia, and no one will come to trouble you.  But if you dare to wear white, ordinary people may live for the rest of their lives. Even princes and nobles are very particular about white.  For example, Han Zhongwei is now the king of Xia, so he can wear pure white robes. If he is an ordinary marquis, he can only wear gray and white.  "Master Wanyan is too polite, please get up quickly." Han Zhongwei quickly got off his horse and helped Wanyan Fuxing up with his own hands.  Wanyan Fuxing is about forty years old. He has a typical Jurchen face and looks very capable.  Wanyan Fuxing was also a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, and he was very clear about the importance of Han Zhongwei to the Jin Kingdom.  Even Han Zhongwei and Wan Yanxun's relationship was clear to him.  Therefore, even without the emperor's will, he would receive Han Zhongwei grandly. Now that he got the news, he went to the border to greet him in person, so that Han Zhongwei could feel his sincerity as soon as he stepped into the land of Jin Kingdom.  After a while of greetings, Wanyan Fuxing did not waste Han Zhongwei's time. He knew that Han Zhongwei came to the Jin Kingdom not to chat with him. Maybe there were only a few people in the entire Jin Kingdom who were qualified to talk to him on an equal footing. Wanyan Fuxing  At this time, he simply did not have the qualifications to allow Han Zhongwei to remember him, which was considered a natural face.  Wanyan Fuxing's soldiers cleared the way in front, and Wanyan Fuxing accompanied Han Zhongwei. Han Zhongwei had just entered the Jin Kingdom and had already had lunch, so Wanyan Fuxing only took over for Han Zhongwei at night.  The dinner was held at the most upscale restaurant in Hohhot. The entire restaurant was cleared that night, and all officials from Hohhot were present. Of course, they were not qualified to sit with Han Zhongwei. Even if they wanted to say a word to Han Zhongwei, it would have to depend on the opportunity.  .  In the whole scene, Wanyan Fuxing only asked them to salute Han Zhongwei together, and then arranged to accompany them to the banquet on the second floor.  There was only one banquet table on the third floor, and the only guests were Han Zhongwei and his companions Zhang Zhongtong and Ding Chuan. The only company was Wanyan Fuxing.  After finishing the meal, Wanyan Fuxing didn't stay much longer. He only drank tea with Han Zhongwei for a while and then said goodbye in a sensible manner. Han Zhongwei had been tired from traveling all the way, so being able to have a meal with him was a great honor to himself.  If you have any unreasonable thoughts, you don't know how to praise.  Two days later, Wanyan Fuxing sent Han Zhongwei all the way to the junction of Hohhot and Dading Prefecture, but there, no officials from Dading Prefecture were seen to greet him.  Of course Wanyan Fuxing wouldn't say anything, but he recognized Han Zhongwei's face when he saw it.Although the irritation faded quickly, Wanyan Fuxing still saw it in his eyes.  Wanyan Fuxing saw it in his eyes and was very happy in his heart. Wanyan Zhen, the prefect of Dading Prefecture, might be in bad luck this time.  He has long coveted the post of magistrate of Dading Prefecture. Although Dading Prefecture and Hohhot are both at the state level, their treatment is very different.  Moreover, the magistrates of Dading Prefecture will generally be promoted as long as their terms of office are completed. Serving here is like a dragon lurking in the abyss.  The prefect of Hohhot does not have such treatment. After his term of office is over, he may be transferred to other state capitals. Even if there is no one in the government, it is not impossible to be demoted.  "Wan Yanzhen is really too rude. I will apologize to King Xia on his behalf. I hope King Xia will forgive me." Wanyan Fuxing did not intercede with Wan Yanzhen. He was simply complaining.  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Master Wanyan has worked hard these days. Now that we have reached the boundary of Dading, let's say goodbye and see you later." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.  "Farewell to the King of Xia." Wanyan Fuxing did not dare to be rude. He and his officials kowtowed to the ground together. He did not get up and return until Han Zhongwei disappeared from his sight.  We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods.  In fact, Han Zhongwei hated the practice of welcoming people and sending them away. In his own territory, he explicitly prohibited Wanyan Fuxing from doing this.  If he is discovered, in addition to being dismissed from his post, he will also be investigated.  Moreover, once such a person is removed from his post, he will never be able to work under Han Zhongwei again.  But in the Kingdom of Jin, Han Zhongwei had no such idea. He was a foreign prince, and he represented Xixia and his own face. If he was ignored, he would definitely be dissatisfied.  If Wanyan Fuxing had only received him cheaply in Hohhot, but in the past few days, under Wanyan Fuxing's personal accompaniment, Han Zhongwei had enjoyed the most noble treatment. Now when he arrived in Dading Mansion, this treatment suddenly disappeared. Han Zhongwei  Of course not happy.  After finishing Yanzhen, Han Zhongwei remembered this name.  "My lord, although Wanyan Fuxing has no good intentions, this Wanyan Zhen is too ignorant to advance or retreat. Even if Wanyan Fuxing deliberately did not inform him, couldn't he send someone to Hohhot to find out how Wanyan Fuxing received you? Now in  At the border, not only Wan Yanzhen did not come in person, but even Dading Prefecture did not have any officials here, which is really disrespectful." After Ding Chuan walked away, he walked to Han Zhongwei and said with a smile.  People who are remembered by Han Zhongwei usually don't do good things. Wanyanxun was remembered by Han Zhongwei, and now the Jin Kingdom almost spends all its resources to purchase Han Zhongwei's firearms.  Moreover, Han Zhongwei has to show some courtesy from time to time. Who makes Wanyan Xun still his disciple?  Li Chunyou is remembered by Han Zhongwei. His throne has been lost. Even Han Zhongwei doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now.  Temujin was remembered by Han Zhongwei, and his 10,000-strong army was wiped out. No more than 100 people could escape back to Qiyan alive.  Now that Wanyanzhen is remembered by Han Zhongwei, the consequences for him Now Ding Chuan is sure that although this Wanyanzhen has not met the prince yet, he has greatly offended his prince.  Although it would not kill him, if Hou Wanyanzhen wanted to make further achievements in his official career, he had to at least ensure that the Jin Kingdom could produce its own firearms or no longer rely on Han Zhongwei's firearms, otherwise it would be impossible.  Not only now but also in the future, the Kingdom of Jin must rely on the prince's firearms. There is no doubt that even Ding Chuan is 100% sure of this.  When they arrived at Dading Mansion, Wan Yanzhen greeted him outside the city, but Han Zhongwei ignored him and directly bypassed the officials of Dading Mansion and entered the city. He simply regarded the officials of Dading Mansion as nothing.  .  Wan Yanzhen didn¡¯t know where he offended the Xixia prince. Although Xixia was now a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom, even if the Xixia prince came to the Jin Kingdom, he would not dare to be rude to the Jin Kingdom officials.  But this Xia king was no ordinary Xixia prince. Wan Yanzhen also had someone in the court who provided information. He knew very well the importance of Han Zhongwei to the Jin Kingdom.  What's more, this is Han Zhongwei's first visit to the Kingdom of Jin in a public capacity. Even the emperor ordered him and others to receive him well with the order of eight hundred miles. Wanyan Jing had a sentence in the order, to the effect that he should receive Xixia Xia.  King, please come as if I were here in person.  Wanyanzhen had always looked down on Xixia officials. This most important sentence was either not seen or remembered.  "A straight woman is a thief with great virtue." Although Wanyanzhen knew the importance of Han Zhongwei to the Kingdom of Jin, he did not pay corresponding attention to Han Zhongwei. In his opinion, it was enough for him to lead his officials to greet him outside the city.  It gave Han Zhongwei great face.  Needless to say, even if Han Zhongwei arrives in Zhongdu, Wanyan Jing's reception standards will probably be higher than his.  "Master Magistrate, King Xia seems to be very angry. How should we deal with it?" "What a fool. How can I stop him from leaving? Just let him go." Wanyanzhen spit heavily and turned to his side.  Han Zhongwei's convoy cursed.  It should be Wan Yanzhen who is going to be unlucky. His words happened to be heard by Ding ChuanBecause he was worried that the convoy would cause trouble when entering the city, he kept running in front of the convoy. Just now when he walked up to Wan Yanzhen, he heard him making such arrogant and rude remarks.  ¡°Wan Yanzhen didn¡¯t know how he became the prefect of Dading Prefecture, and meeting the prince would be regarded as eliminating a hidden danger for the Kingdom of Jin. Otherwise, such a thing would bring disaster to the Kingdom of Jin sooner or later.  Regarding Wan Yanzhen¡¯s arrogant words, Ding Chuan would certainly not hide anything from Han Zhongwei. If his prince was bullied in the Kingdom of Jin, he would lose face as his subordinate, wouldn¡¯t he?  Originally, Han Zhongwei wanted to have dinner in Dading Mansion, but after hearing what Ding Chuan said, he immediately decided to leave the city and find a place to eat after passing Dading Mansion.  Moreover, Han Zhongwei ordered that the cement supply to the Jin Kingdom be immediately suspended.  The Yellow River in the Kingdom of Jin has been flooded for several consecutive years. In summer, millions of people have been displaced because of the flooding of the Yellow River. This has even affected the foundation of the Kingdom of Jin.  In recent years, peasant uprisings have occurred one after another in the Jin Kingdom, which is not unrelated to the flooding of the Yellow River.  Since Han Zhongwei's cement was introduced to the Jin Kingdom, the repair speed of the Yellow River embankment has been different from the original. Moreover, after using cement, both the solidity and durability are no worse than the embankment built with bluestone.  Wanyan Xun asked Han Zhongwei to build a cement factory in Jin several times, but Han Zhongwei always refused for various reasons.  Cement is also a strategic resource in some cases, and the Jin Kingdom will definitely be the biggest enemy of the Song Kingdom in the future. Han Zhongwei will not do this to shoot himself in the foot anyway.  Han Zhongwei's order to stop the supply of cement was not taken seriously, and he almost forced Xixia's Minister of Industry to hang himself. Since the beginning of spring this year, there have been continuous heavy rains. This year, the Yellow River may be showing its power again. Originally, he wanted to do it before summer.  Several river embankments were rushed to be repaired, but now it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.  Collected from ( )
