Chapter 43

Zhao Tai looked at the Mongolian fleet and knew that the Mongolian envoys had also arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty.

As a result, the situation immediately became complicated, making Zhao Tai feel even more stressed.

Because historically the Southern Song Dynasty did reach an alliance with Mongolia, and the two armies jointly captured Caizhou and destroyed the Jin Kingdom.

This means that the current Southern Song Dynasty court should be inclined to unite with Mongolia and destroy Jin Dynasty.

As an outsider like Zhao Tai, he had no connections in the Southern Song Dynasty and did not know the senior officials of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was already difficult to change the decision-making of the Southern Song Dynasty. Now that the Mongols came again, his task became even more difficult.

If Zhao Tai could not change the decision-making of the Southern Song Dynasty court, then history would repeat itself.

Nowadays, there is chaos in the north and powerful enemies are pressing down on the border. Chuzhou, as an important border town in the Southern Song Dynasty, should be densely packed with troops, heavily defended and actively preparing for war. However, in the image of Zhao Tai, it does not look like a military town at all.

It can be seen from this that the military preparedness of the Southern Song Dynasty was lax. Once the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty was completely unprepared and would definitely suffer a disaster.

Then the tragedy of joining forces with Jin to destroy Liao and then being destroyed by Jin will happen again.

"We can't let Mongolia and Song Dynasty unite!" Zhao Tai looked at the Mongolian official ships with deep eyes. There were five of them, twice the size of the Jin Dynasty mission.

Wanyan Chenglin was a little panicked, "Brother Zhao, the Mongols are coming too, what should we do?"

Zhao Tai looked at him and the accompanying Jin Bing with panic on their faces, and waved his hands, pretending to be relaxed, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't take more than a large number of people to convince the Song Dynasty. Besides, we arrived first, and our credentials have already been handed in."

In the past, if I could reach Lin'an before them, I would have more time to lobby the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Chenglin felt a little calmer when he saw Zhao Tai, the chief envoy, looked calm.

As they were talking, the Mongolian envoy had arrived at Chuzhou Pier, but the envoy did not get off the ship. Instead, officials from the Southern Song Dynasty boarded the ship.

Not long after, Song officials disembarked, but the Mongolian fleet did not stay at the Chuzhou dock for long. After replenishing some supplies, they left the dock and continued southward along the canal.

Seeing the Mongolian fleet leaving, Zhao Tai, Wanyan Chenglin and others were stunned.

"Don't they need to wait for Lin'an's approval before they can enter the country directly?" Wanyan Chenglin asked in surprise.

Seeing this, Zhao Tai was speechless for a moment. He stood on the deck and watched the Mongolian fleet passing by. He realized that what he thought was right, the Song State had indeed gained the upper hand in joining forces with Mongolia to destroy the money.

Looking at the Mongolian fleet heading south, Zhao Tai felt a little uneasy in his heart.

His only advantage was that he arrived before the Mongols and could go to Lin'an early to understand the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty court and have enough time to lobby.

But now the Mongols cut the queue in front of him and headed directly to Lin'an, thus eliminating his only advantage.

Now Zhao Tai's hope of changing the Southern Song Dynasty's decision suddenly became slim.

While Zhao Tai was watching the Mongolian fleet, the Mongols also noticed the Jin envoy anchored at the Chuzhou wharf.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Jin people!" Yeluxuan pointed to the official ship of the Jin Kingdom in the distance.

On this mission to the Southern Song Dynasty, Wo Kuotai attached great importance to it and sent not only his son Kuo Duan but also Yelu Xuan, the son of Yelu Chucai.

Kuo Duan also stood on the deck and looked into the distance, and couldn't help snorting coldly, "Humph, it seems that the Jin people are not determined to give up and want to unite with the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against us. However, I'm afraid they can only go back disappointed."

Ye Luxuan smiled and said: "We offered the Central Plains to lure us, but the Jin people could not give anything to the Southern Song Dynasty. They really have nothing to compete with us!"

Kuo Duan laughed, and his laughter attracted the attention of everyone on the Jin Guoguan ship.

At this time, Meng Chuan passed by Zhao Tai and stood on the broad end of the bow, making eye contact with Zhao Tai.

He glared at Zhao Tai fiercely, then sneered again and again, and said to the left and right: "If it weren't for the Southern Song Dynasty thinking that we are too fierce, I would attack and kill the Jin envoy immediately!"

Before the Mongolian mission went south, Mongolian Prime Minister Yelu Chucai analyzed the mentality of the Southern Song Dynasty for Kuo Duan.

The current Southern Song Dynasty's attitude towards the Jin Kingdom is definitely more complicated.

On the one hand, they have a grudge against the Jin Kingdom and hope to destroy the Jin Kingdom and regain their lost territory.

On the one hand, they were worried about repeating the mistakes of the past when they allied with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty.

Therefore, Yelu Chucai suggested that when facing the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, Kuoduan should try his best to explain to them the benefits of destroying the Jin, downplay the threat from Mongolia to them, and not let them imagine the Mongols as the Jin people of the past.

If Kuo Duan can do these two things, then there will be no problem on this mission.

Ye Luxuan said: "Your Majesty is wise, as long as we convince the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom will be dead!"

Kuo Duan nodded, as if he was remembering what happened in Henan, and said bitterly: "When the Kingdom of Jin is destroyed, I must capture Zhao Tai and cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Zhao Tai played Wo Kuotai and his son around, making Wo Kuotai lose face.

Because Kuo Duan persuaded Wo Kuotai to withdraw his troops, Wo Kuotai fell into the trap and was punished by Wo Kuotai.

He had a chance to inherit the throne, but because of this incident, he was suppressed by Guyu, which made him very angry.

At this time, the fleet passed by Zhao Tai. Kuo Duan saw Zhao Tai standing on the deck, but he didn't know that the man he wanted to cut into pieces was standing in front of him. He just sneered and entered the cabin.

Zhao Tai, who was on the official ship of the Jin Kingdom, could only watch the Mongolian ship go away.

"Brother Zhao, if the Song State treats them differently, could it mean that they have decided to unite with Mongolia?" Wanyan Chenglin worried: "Will the Song State never see us?"

Zhao Tai did not know much about the internal situation of the Southern Song Dynasty and did not know the decisions of the Song Dynasty. Wanyan Chenglin's worries were not unreasonable.

If the Southern Song Dynasty did not intend to let them enter, then there was no point in waiting in Chuzhou.

Zhao Tai grabbed the guardrail with one hand and scratched the mark with his nails, "Three days, within three days, if there is no news from Lin'an, we will sneak into Lin'an directly!"

Wanyan Chenglin said: "That's the only way it can be!"

Zhao Taidao: "In these three days, we must try our best to collect information about the Song Dynasty. At least we must find out which ministers in Lin'an support the Lianmeng, which ministers support the Lianmeng, and which neutralities can be fought for! In this way, we can prescribe the right medicine when we arrive in Lin'an.

!”

The Mongolian envoy arrived later and went to Lin'an first, making the Jin envoy anxious.

However, the Jin State was weak and demanding, so the envoys did not dare to force their way into Song State's territory without Song State's permission.

Zhao Tai decided to wait another three days. Within three days, Lin'an did not reply, so he sneaked into Lin'an.

Three days was not a long time, but after seeing the Mongolian mission go south, Zhao Tai felt that the time was extremely long, and it seemed like a year.

During the waiting time, Manchun Building reopened. Because Zhao Tai had released news in advance that a famous prostitute from Yangzhou was coming, it attracted a lot of people on the opening day.

These people were originally interested in famous prostitutes, but they soon became addicted to the role-playing of the sisters and were conquered by the sexy lingerie designed by Zhao Tai.

At this time, in a room in Manchun Building, Zhao Tai was sitting behind the desk. In front of him stood a girl from Manchun Building, telling Zhao Tai the news she heard today.

The arrival of the Jin Kingdom mission and the Mongolian mission one after another will inevitably arouse people's discussion. Zhao Tai has no other channels, so he hopes to get some useful information from the guests.
