Chapter 1450 The difference between Song and Liao

Zhao Zhen answered two questions from Xiao Tali, but she was reluctant to ask the last question. Zhao Zhen's two answers seemed to solve her confusion, but in fact, the problems became more and more.

Xiao Tali knew why Zhao Zhen did not exert the whole country's efforts to attack Liao, but she didn't know why Zhao Zhen wanted to drive the Liao Dynasty into the grassland, which was not necessarily a bad thing for the Liao Dynasty.

Didn’t he know that the Khitan was born on the grassland? The rise and growth of nomadic peoples were on that magical land. Didn’t he, Zhao Zhen, worry that the Khitan became stronger again?

This problem is not solved, which really makes Xiao Tali unable to sleep at night, and another problem also leads to more questions. Why was the Liao Dynasty defeated the Song Dynasty?

However, Zhao Zhen's answer did not satisfy Xiao Tali. The meaning of the whole sentence Xiao Tali understood it, that is, the Song Dynasty occupied all the forces around the Liao Dynasty, strengthened its own strength and suppressed the Liao Dynasty.

But it started since the destruction of Dali in the Southern Song Dynasty, and why did he suddenly lose half of it?!

She couldn't ask questions next time because there was only one last question left. Xiao Tali suddenly realized that he had not thought about it, and Zhao Zhen actually insisted on his own opinion and did not say one more word on the above questions. It was a pity for words to be as good as gold.

But elsewhere, they keep asking questions and their own suggestions like chatterboxes...

"This armor is a good thing, but it's too heavy, but Tiefutu's reputation is so great! I often hear its great name in the Shendu City!"

"What do you eat on weekdays? I heard that there are also some drinks from Shendu City in Shangjing?"

"How was this Shu brocade sold in the Liao Dynasty? Do you have official notes for me to observe one or two?"

Anyway, it was something irrelevant, but he could always come up with the subtle, making Xiao Tali annoyed while also being wary of whether he had any conspiracy. There is a saying she may not know, but she personally realized: I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves thinking about it!

For example, when Zhao Zhen carefully observed the Tiefutu of the Liao Dynasty, he attracted Xiao Tali's idea. With the withdrawal of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty also began to withdraw part of the troops, but a considerable number of Khitan soldiers were still left behind.

Zhao Zhen strongly opposed this. In his words, the Western Regions either belong to the Song Dynasty, or the Song and Liao sides used this as a trade place and did not send troops here to disrupt the market order.

Although Xiao Tali understood the market order under Zhao Zhen's explanation, she still rejected Zhao Zhen's proposal, because in her eyes, the Western Regions were already part of the territory of the Great Liao Dynasty at this time, how could they not be stationed?

Xiao Tali completely ignored Zhao Zhen's proposal to "everyone makes money if you have money". Just kidding, the Liao Dynasty was originally intended to seize the Western Regions and cut off the Silk Road of the Song Dynasty, and also to allow the goods of the Liao Dynasty to be sold to the West. How could it be as the Song Dynasty wished?

For some reason, when Xiao Tali became more and more happy when he saw Zhao Zhen’s angry look and cursing his foolish wife’s expression, he became more happy!

At this moment, Xiao Tali squatted down quietly beside Zhao Zhen: "What are you looking at?"

The silent approach and the sudden sound shocked Zhao Zhen: "Don't look at it if you are not good! Are you a person who walks without sound?!"

Xiao Tali looked at Zhao Zhen strangely: "I heard that Your Majesty often punished corruption in the Song Dynasty and sent the inspection department to investigate strictly, awakening him with the words "I never do bad things in my life and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." Why did I get scared when I change myself?"

Zhao Zhen shrugged helplessly: "It's a good thing to talk about! I'll see what's wrong with your Tiefutu in the Liao Dynasty? Could it be that you should be wary of me even this? Don't you Liao people also get the plate armor of my Song Dynasty?"

Xiao Tali was angry for a moment. What was he saying? Is there no Tiefutu in the Song Dynasty? He insisted on checking in the army of the Liao Dynasty, but she suppressed the anger in her heart and glared at Zhao Zhen and said, "What? Did Your Majesty see any tricks?"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Well! The protection of this Tiefutu is very comprehensive, from top to bottom, without any omissions. I heard that this thing was originally called Tielinjun, and later changed its name to Tiefutu after fighting with the Jurchens. Could it be the same as the Tiefututu of the Jurchens?"

Xiao Tali stopped talking, it turned out that Zhao Zhen was waiting for him here!

"I, the Tiefutu in the Great Liao Dynasty, could not have the Jurchens in the White Mountains and Black Waters Land! It is just the name of the Buddha, so it is naturally named!"

Zhao Zhen nodded and thoughtfully said, "Oh! So that's it! No wonder this thing is a bit clumsy in the hands of your Liao people. It's probably just that you can't smelter, but why can the Jurchens make better things?"

"How does Your Majesty think this Tiefutu compares to your Song Dynasty's plate armor?"

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "It cannot be compared. Song Zhipian Plate Armor cares about protection and also pays attention to flexibility, reducing weight to the greatest extent to ensure protection. Although Liao Zhipian Iron Pagoda has more protection, it is not flexible enough. Moreover, this thing is like scrap iron in front of my Song firearm!"

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything about it. The output of plate armor in the Song Dynasty was astonishing, but the cost was half that of Tiefutu.

When it comes to the firearms of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Tali's expression becomes unnatural. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty's research on firearms was far from that of the Song Dynasty. Over the years, their gunpowder bullets were not as powerful as the gunpowder bullets of the Song Dynasty. Their gunpowder bullets must be produced under specific circumstances, otherwise they will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage themselves...

But Xiao Tali knew that she could not waste the last question on the firearm. This kind of magic weapon, as a cauldron like a Song Dynasty tripod, would never tell her a trace, and she was not so stupid as to ask Zhao Zhen questions.

The army had entered the territory of the Liao Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen reported peace to the Song Dynasty by letters, but this was particularly important for the officials and people of the Song Dynasty.

The story of Zhao Zhen's in the Liao Dynasty had spread throughout the Song Dynasty, and no one in the court stopped it. Even if the court concealed it, the Liao people would release news. By time, the city was full of storms. It would be better to admit it generously, and use Zhao Zhen's statement: State visits!

For ordinary people, this is a noble act of officials condescending to the Liao Dynasty and turning the war between the two countries into jade and silk. Where is the people's right to explain? Of course, it is the court. In the current Song Dynasty, what does the imperial newspaper say and the direction of public opinion are.

Almost all newspapers were secretly controlled by the court to dominate public opinion, especially in the matter of Zhao Zhen, which was quite concentrated. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was captured? It is impossible. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was not captured, but a state visit!

No one knew the details of the war. The rest was the beautification of the newspaper's own processing and beautification. Even news came out that the Empress Dowager of the Liao Dynasty would also visit the Song Dynasty for a state visit……

Not only did the Liao people not hurt the officials at all, they would even make great contributions and be sent back by the Liao people with all their conduct.
