    But he was unhappy by nature to argue with Zheng Yunming, and just said: "If my husband wants to use this army, then allocate them with the best artillery and the best supplies. This battle depends entirely on them and cannot be taken lightly.  " Zheng Yunming shook his head and said nothing. The Mongolian army was so strong that even if it defeated the turtle ship, the Song army was still at a clear disadvantage. The consequences of a head-on battle with the 400,000-strong Hu army in the wild are still undecided.  This battle cannot be lost. Its significance has long transcended the survival of a country and even the lives of tens of millions of people. In the past ten years, the Song Dynasty has been evolving, although the road ahead is also accompanied by filth.  And ugly, but there is no doubt that the world is changing bit by bit because of the changes in the Song Dynasty.  Over the past few years, the random killing and driving of slaves has been banned in the land where the merchants of the Song Dynasty established a foothold. Kings of various countries began to follow the example of the Song Dynasty, establishing a poor relief system and a strict bureaucracy, and gradually opened up trade and travel to the outside world.  The world is moving towards a more civilized and prosperous world. If this process is not interrupted by war, Zheng Yunming is confident that what will come to us in a few hundred years will be a world completely different from another dimension.  Of course, the premise of all this is to protect the Song Dynasty from the Mongols' final madness.  When the group was about to turn to the main camp of the Shenwu New Army, they received a report from the front commander Zhang Shijie.  The Great Khan of Mongolia took Hao Jing, deputy envoy of Xuanfu on the north and south roads of Jinghu Lake, as his envoy and sailed south to discuss peace talks.  Bai Yijie said with a smile: "Hao Xuanfu's motive for coming here is too obvious. If he comes after waiting to conquer Ezhou, he is probably here to persuade him to surrender. If he comes before going south, he is here to spy on military aircraft. He chose this time to cross the river impartially.  Come here, you don¡¯t need to ask to know that this is probably a pretext of peace talks to delay the opportunity.¡± Shenwu Zuotonghu Yanyu asked in confusion: ¡°Hao Jing should also know that our army will never stop rescuing Ezhou at this moment. He.  Isn¡¯t it unnecessary to set out here?¡± Zheng Yunming shook his head and sighed: ¡°If it were anyone else, there would be no need to personally go to the enemy camp to take risks. Hao Jing is the only one who has the courage and confidence. Let¡¯s see what Hao Shengren has to say.  Easy to talk about." Hao Jing was standing outside the Hanyang Mansion Yamen, with ups and downs in his heart.  These ten years were not mediocre for him. In a sense, he even believed that even if Saint Kong was resurrected, he might not be stronger than himself. In the past ten years, he had completely mastered the psychology of King Kublai Khan and constantly taught him  Instilling the etiquette of the Central Plains, Kublai Khan gradually accepted the concept that Confucianism must first be adopted to rule the Central Plains. In academic terms, he vigorously recruited Confucian scholars from Hedong, Hebei and Shandong, organized them to identify Confucian classics, introduced everyone's theories from the Southern Dynasties, and established his own  He also organized a whole team of Confucian scholars to compile classics for himself. After ten years of hard work, Hao Jing not only achieved the position of Xuanfu, but also became well-known in China. Scholars in the North respected him as a leader in the academic world.  , some ignorant people even gave Hao Jing the nickname "Little Sage".  But everything pales in comparison to the Southern Dynasty.  Even in Hedong, Hao Jing could understand from the few words he came across how rapid and intense the changes were in the Southern Dynasties. They had revised the theory of a round sky and a square earth, and determined that the earth was a sphere and the sun was the sphere of the universe.  In the center, all things begin with light from the sun, and all things are composed of a substance called ether, which is so tiny that even the most discerning person in the world cannot detect it.  Recently, some people have claimed that the operation of all things has its own laws, and this law is the interaction of forces between objects.  All kinds of novel and bold theories are emerging one after another, which makes people feel dizzying.  Hao Jing's stance was to deny all these theories that had never been expounded by the saints. The reason for this, in addition to his natural aversion to new theories, was that he realized the value of northern Confucian scholars to the Mongols.  It lies in being able to use the rituals of saints to consolidate the rule of the Mongol Empire in the Central Plains.  Once new trends of thought from the south pour into the Central Plains, they will definitely shake the dominance of traditional doctrines, make people's hearts uneasy, and Confucian scholars will be speechless in front of foreign rulers.  If Kublai Khan and Meng Ge are exposed to these new ideas again, this is not impossible. Before this southern expedition, Kublai Khan had already ordered not to deliberately protect ordinary Confucian scholars in the Southern Dynasty, but to focus on  Collect those New Confucian students who study strange skills, scholars who study Zheng Yunming's knowledge, and focus on collecting books that focus on arithmetic, mechanics, geography, and biology, in order to be adopted by the Mongols in the future.  And Meng Ge also ordered that not only all personnel who study machinery and astronomy are not allowed to be killed, but if there is any damage, the general who leads the army must pay the price.  Brother Meng¡¯s purpose in sending Hao Jingnan was to attack Ezhou and delay Zheng Yunming¡¯s time, and also to win Zheng Yunming¡¯s surrender in the possible future.  For the Great Khan of Mongolia, Zheng Yunming was the Southern Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty was Zheng Yunming. Today, the Southern Dynasty, which is full of vitality, rich and powerful, is completely?I can¡¯t see the weak and tired posture of ten years ago. All this is only because of one person.  The ambition of the Mongolian Empire is not limited to the prosperous Jiangnan scene, nor is it limited to the Nanyang trade network that is making money every day, but also lies in a person who can turn decay into a magical person. As long as this person is loyal, the Mongol Empire can span thousands of miles.  It will become a Song Dynasty that is a thousand times richer and a thousand times more powerful. It will be a super empire that has never appeared in history. No force will ever be a rival to this empire.  But Hao Jing had his own considerations. He was indeed here to test the strength of the Song Army. However, he was not testing the strength of the Song Army.  If you pull it out and show it to him, he may not be able to understand the mystery.  But he could see one thing. He could see Zheng Yunming's attitude towards northern scholars and the change in the strength of the intellectual community after the war. No matter what the outcome of this battle, it would definitely determine the outcome of the Central Plains.  A major event of hundreds of years of luck.  How to interact with the scholars in the North and Jiangnan will be a practical issue related to Hao Jing's vital interests. He had to take the opportunity of his mission to Jiangnan to make good plans for himself.  The ceremonial guard sent out by Zheng Yunming to greet the envoys of the Northern Dynasty was astonishing. Three hundred guards and soldiers of the Supervisory Office lined up at the entrance of the government office. They were all wearing a full set of new plate armor, and they looked so majestic with shining silver. Liu Kezhuang  He stood at the door with a smile on his face, waiting for Hao Jing to arrive.  Hao Jing knew that Liu Kezhuang was now a member of the Ministry of Rites and a close confidant of Zheng Yunming's shogunate. Using him as a welcome guest showed that Zheng Yunming had no intention of being disrespectful towards the Northern Dynasty.  Hao Jing entered the lobby and found that all the leading civil and military figures from the Song Dynasty were present. He didn't understand why Zheng Yunming, who had never liked publicity, was so solemn about his affairs. Although Hao Jing was now the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, he was still under the leadership of the Prime Minister Zuo and the Supervisor.  In front of Lu Junma, he can only be regarded as a sparrow. If he wants Duke Zheng to arrange such a grand ceremony to receive him, I am afraid that he must be at least a prince-level Mongolian nobleman.  Zheng Yunming's demeanor in the seat is still the same, and the hard work of the past few days has not left any trace on his face. Hao Jing knows that Zheng Yunming has always been very energetic. During the Hezhou defense battle, it is said that he spent three days and three days in order to plan the route for the reinforcements to advance.  I didn't sleep a wink that night, and when I finally got the good news, I still had the energy to run more than ten miles in one breath to the Chenghuang Temple to offer sacrifices to the gods.  Zheng Yunming, who was sitting on the seat, asked in a cold tone: "Why is Mr. Hao here?" Hao Jing had long expected that Zheng Yunming would not have a good attitude. At this time, any action of the Mongolians could only be regarded as for the sake of revenge.  If we cannot be candid about the time gained by capturing Ezhou, the significance of this move south will be lost.  He raised his hands to the people in charge and said, "We haven't seen you for several years. Mr. Zheng is already a world-famous figure. I came here today on the orders of the Great Khan." Zheng Yunming still asked coldly: "Brother Meng sent you  Do you want to make peace? Do you want to surrender? Or do you want to be the eyes and ears to detect the true nature of our army?" Hao Jing knew that the best way to deal with Zheng Yunming was to speak out, "I'm really here to make peace.  " Before Zheng Yunming spoke, Bai Yijie raised his sword eyebrows and shouted: "If we sincerely make peace, we can make the Northern Army withdraw from our territory and return Xiangyang City, and the two countries can restore their old territories, and then we can negotiate peace!  He replied unhurriedly: "The counselor is also an old acquaintance. Now that the Great Khan has personally led a million elite troops and swept in, is it possible to return Xiangyang without a battle?" Jiao Jin said anxiously at the side: "Since  So, why did you come across the river? Do you expect to persuade our troops to withdraw for rescue with your sharp tongue? "Although Zheng Yunming is known for his simplicity, he has a reputation for being lenient to his subordinates and officers and soldiers. His famous saying  The military has its own laws, and strict enforcement is enough. A general might as well appear more humane.  Therefore, his subordinates often competed with their commanders like this, and Zheng Yunming did not blame them. This was rarely seen among other commanders in the Song Dynasty.  Zheng Yunming raised his hand to stop everyone's speech, and said seriously: "Mr. Hao came with the will of the Mongolian Khan, and he will not only have such a simple purpose. Everyone, please be patient and listen to what he has to say.  "The eyes in the hall suddenly focused on Hao Jing. The silence in the hall made Hao Jing feel slightly uncomfortable. He felt strange that even in a tent as tall as He Lin's O'er, in front of the Mongolian Khan, he  He also talked eloquently, but every time he faced Zheng Yunming, he would always panic unconsciously, but he didn't know where the panic came from.
