The diplomacy of a strong country is complex. It not only relies on deterrence and various diplomatic means, but the method of joining the border and joining forces is good, but in the end it must be used to the extreme when you have the strength, otherwise it will inevitably be a bleak result.

The diplomacy of the Song Dynasty combined force and strategy to a certain extent, but the purpose was only one, which was to echo the national interests of the Song Dynasty. There was no difference between the Song people and later generations.

Before he went to the Qin Dynasty, Yan Shu was specially ordered by Zhao Zhen to be polite and show the demeanor and cultural etiquette of the Song Dynasty when he should be polite. When he should be polite, he must not be weak when he should be swayed. He loses the face of the country, making people feel that the Song Dynasty is a weak and bullied Mr. Donghan. As long as the other party shows his sword, he must fight back with a tough blow!

After Yan Shu had read Zhao Zhen's order and obtained the official seal and tiger talisman of the mission, he selected 185 elite troops from the imperial guards in Shendu City as the "trump card" for his mission to Daqin this time.

Of course, Yan Shu also knew that his mission was a bit incredible, but he did not expect to take the son of Emperor Qin to study in the Song Dynasty.

If such a thing happens when a small country is approaching, it is understandable. After all, it is not far away to admire the prosperity and strength of the Celestial Kingdom. However, the Qin Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and it is too incredible to bring the Qin prince to the Song Dynasty.

But the key point is that Emperor Henry III of the Qin Dynasty also agreed, and he begged the officials to do so. Obviously, there must be problems, and these problems surfaced as he spent more and more time in Daqin.

Unexpectedly, in the Great Qin Dynasty, the Holy See had such a lofty status, and even more so, the power of faith was so powerful. This made Yan Shu feel frightened and sincerely felt that the government had a foresight in the regulation of Buddhism and Taoism.

Whether it is Catholicism, Buddhism, Taoism, or Hui and Islam, these are ultimately faith. The Han Dynasty once suffered a fall in faith, but the Han Dynasty was good at summarizing lessons and believed in itself more. Therefore, these religions did not expand as well in the Han Dynasty.

But in the Qin Dynasty... it is not the case in the entire West. Both Catholicism and the Islamic Republic have gained strong beliefs and support from people. Whether it is the Qin Dynasty or Seljuk, religion has almost become an integral part and even ruled people's thoughts.

The more Yan Shu was like this, the more terrifying they felt, and the more they felt that these people were tragic. Compared with the people of the Song Dynasty, although they could find more spiritual homes, Yan Shu did not feel that they were happier than the Song Dynasty.

People actually start to give up their lives because of faith. This is the biggest joke. But these poor people do not get help from the country and the church, but instead have to pay money to the church as much as possible?

If this cycle continues, the people of the Qin Dynasty will only become poorer, but the emperor and the Holy See turn a blind eye to this?

You should know that in the Song Dynasty, almost everyone understood one thing: Only when the people are rich and live a better life can the dynasty become stronger, richer and more prosperous.

The Song Dynasty is such an example, and the rulers seem to have no idea of ​​such a simple truth. In Yan Shu's view, the so-called Great Qin State is just a little better than living in the forest and calling them barbarians.

Why should such a person confront the Song Dynasty?

As for where their wealth comes from, we can know that it is through plunder and exploitation without thinking. The so-called Great Qin State is simply an existence similar to the Zhou Dynasty in China.

It seemed to be an empire, but in fact it was composed of many small vassal states. These vassal states swore allegiance to Henry III, the largest country, and followed his command, so the Frankian dynasty was formed.

In Yan Shu's opinion, all this was very chaotic. It was clearly a dynasty, but it had to be named the Holy Roman Empire, which was the Great Qin State mentioned by the Song people. At the same time, there were many chaotic forces among them, and they have not yet entered a unified state.

Moreover, slaves still exist in this country, and there are a large number of them, which has long been abolished in the Song Dynasty.

Being backward, ignorant, ignorant, and rude, these people naturally become barbarians in Yan Shu's eyes. Declaring war on barbarians is really an ordinary thing.

Yan Shu was not worried about the safety of the delegation. One hundred and eighty-five imperial soldiers wearing plate armor holding horizontal knives and crossbow arrows were fully capable of escorting them to the port, and once they arrived at the port, they would be safe.

The captain of the guard and the guard in front of him quickly retreated as the Song Dynasty delegation turned into a ferocious "wild beast", and the people in the square were also shocked by the scene in front of him. These people were like steel knights.

The soldiers of the Song army brought their helmets, put down their masks, and wrapped themselves in the plate armor. The black holes emitted a terrifying chill.

For them, "the dignity of the Han family is sacred and inviolable!"

The guards dispatched to reinforce were unable to move forward. They had never seen such a powerful enemy, and soldiers like steel instantly destroyed their fighting spirit.

Standing on the church tower, Gregory VII slowly sat down on his throne. He did not expect that the Song Dynasty's mission was so powerful that the 180-strong team made the nearly 500-strong Pope Guard stop.

The face was broken up now, and there was no room for lingering between the two sides. Gregory VII looked at the big bell in the church and suddenly realized that it was on the land of the Roman city, in his pope kingdom, and the Song Empire was far away from thousands of mountains and rivers. Can the disappearance of a mission still cause a war between the two sides?

The waiter in red immediately conveyed the decree of Gregory VII. Perhaps it was because he was used to being rampant in the Pope and the Holy Roman Empire. Even the waiter felt that this was nothing, not to mention that the scene made the Holy See lose all the face of the Holy See, and he had to find his face back.

In fact, this is also the thing that most influenced Gregory VII's judgment. Although he pursued power, he was still extremely loyal to the Catholic Church. As the Pope, he also wanted to maintain the majesty of the Catholic Church.

After receiving the orders of the pope, the hundreds of guards immediately began to form formations to launch an offensive test on the Song Dynasty delegation, and some people shouted loudly to ask the delegation to give up resistance, otherwise more soldiers would encircle them.

After hearing the officials who were translators in the mission, Yan Shu immediately ordered the crossbowmen to shoot the people who dared to speak, so the five people with the largest voice immediately turned into hedgehogs and instantly fell off the high platform where the church preached.

As he landed, the battle began. Henry IV hid behind John, grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, and looked at Yan Shu who was walking towards him with fearful eyes.
