Pu'a was very satisfied with Zhao Tai and took over the house and gold. He immediately felt that it was too late to meet him.
He admired Zhao Tai's ability very much, and the two chatted happily until midnight, then he personally walked Zhao Tai to the door and watched Zhao Tai leave.
"Xiao Zhao is quite a good person. If I had made friends with him earlier, it would have been me who made the meritorious service, not Heda and Monk Chen." Pu'a couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After Zhao Tai left, Pua returned to the mansion, but instead of sleeping, he wrote a memorial in the study.
He had talked with Zhao Tai for a long time just now, and Zhao Tai had given him a lot of inspiration, so he slightly processed Zhao Tai's suggestions and turned them into his own ideas, and presented them to the court.
The next day, Pu'a presented Wanyan Shouxu with eight strategies to strengthen a country and defend against enemies, which greatly pleased Wanyan Shouxu and Long Yan.
This also strengthened Pu Ala's determination to win over Zhao Tai.
In the Jurchen court, non-Jurchens like them must stick together if they want to get along and gain power.
Although Zhao Tai could arrange an errand for his subordinates by looking for Chen Monk and Heda, it is unlikely that they would arrange according to Zhao Tai's wishes and would not make too many exceptions for promotion.
Time is running out now, and Jin Guo doesn't have much time left. Naturally, Zhao Tai can't just follow the steps, go through seniority and merit, and climb up step by step. What he wants is to accumulate a certain amount of strength in a short period of time.
So Zhao Tai approached Pua.
If Monk Chen can arrange a position for a hundred households for Sun Li and others, then Pu'a can give it to a thousand households.
After establishing the relationship, Zhao Tai prepared to leave for the Southern Song Dynasty, and several subordinates packed his luggage for him.
This time going to Lin'an, Zhao Tai had no intention of taking them there.
Now that time was urgent, Wanyan Shouxu did not give Zhao Tai a chance to lead the troops, so Zhao Tai asked his subordinates to lead the troops through Pu'a.
In this way, when he comes back from the Southern Song Dynasty, he will have a team of people controlled by him.
"Master, you really don't want us to escort you to the Southern Song Dynasty." Sun Li asked.
Xu Erzhu said: "We still want to follow the young master and go to the Song Dynasty to see the world."
Although the Song Dynasty suffered a setback militarily, it was the strongest in the world culturally and economically.
The life of the people of the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the city made people of all ethnic groups in the north yearn for it.
Zhao Taidao: "I have already arranged the relationship for you. Your appointments from the Kingdom of Jin will be announced soon. Each of you, at least, will be the leader."
Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they all clasped their fists and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master, for your support."
Zhao Tai waved his hand, "Okay, you don't have to give me away, just do your best and hold the army firmly, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded quickly, but at this time, there were already people outside the courtyard urging him. Zhao Tai left the courtyard, got on his horse, and galloped to the city gate to meet up with the deputy envoy Wanyan Chenglin.
Regarding this mission to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Tai had his own plans. He would use the money of the Jin Dynasty to do his own things, but he should also try his best to promote the union of Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty.
If possible, he also hoped to wake up the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers who were addicted to the gentle countryside in the south of the Yangtze River and let them prepare for war quickly.
But this is probably going to be very difficult.
As far as Zhao Tai knows, history has given the Southern Song Dynasty a chance. After Meng Ge Khan was killed by the soldiers and civilians of Diaoyu City, Kublai Khan went back to fight for the throne. Mongolia fought a civil war for five years, and the Southern Song Dynasty should have had time to prepare.
The puzzling thing is that Mongolia has destroyed so many countries and is addicted to aggression. No one should have any illusions about peace, but the Southern Song Dynasty did almost nothing during this period of time.
When Zhao Tai read this piece of history, he really couldn't understand it and could only sigh.
"Member Zhao! Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!" Zhao Tai came to the city gate and immediately a servant came forward and said.
Zhao Tai is now a member of the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to a deputy director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Zhao Tai heard this and saw Wanyan Shouxu under the yellow umbrella in the distance. He quickly got off his horse and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "How dare you, Your Majesty, see you off?"
Wanyan Shouxu smiled and said: "Whether this mission to the Southern Song Dynasty can succeed or not is a matter of life and death for me, Dajin. The Qing family must not let down my expectations!"
Zhao Tai thought: "I'm still worried!"
The situation in the Kingdom of Jin is indeed very difficult now. Next time Mongolia comes, they will probably be taken away in a wave.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best to unite the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Tai saluted, but then he said: "Now that the Song Dynasty is strong and the Jin Dynasty is weak, what are the conditions for the alliance?"
Wanyan Shouxu understood what Zhao Tai meant, "As long as the Song Dynasty restores its annual coins and provides large financial aid, any conditions are easy to negotiate!"
Zhao Tai said directly: "Your Majesty, now we have something to ask for from Song Dynasty. Just for "year coins", I am afraid we have to change our words!"
The current Jin Kingdom is no longer the military power that was based on the Southern Song Dynasty and rubbed on the ground.
This mission is actually to go to the Southern Song Dynasty to beg for food. Since you have gotten to this point, what qualifications do you have to raise money? I am afraid that all the original treaties between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty will be abolished.
Wanyan Shouxu nodded, "As long as you can get support, you can make full decisions on these matters! However, you must also try your best to protect Daikin's face!"
At this time, wanting to maintain the former dignity of the Jin Kingdom is definitely unrealistic in Zhao Tai's opinion.
This time he was going to beg the Song Dynasty, and he was already ready to put down his posture and go beg for food.
Anyway, Zhao Tai is not from the Jin Kingdom, so he won't feel ashamed no matter what terms are negotiated, as long as the goal is achieved.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have my own discretion!" Zhao Tai assured.
Seeing this, Wanyan Shouxu nodded with satisfaction, but did not let Zhao Tai leave immediately. Instead, he sighed again: "The Mongols are cruel and their military power is great. Although the Mongols retreat this time, they will definitely come next year! Now I can only count on the Qing family to provide I bring good news."
The current situation in the Jin Kingdom is actually completely forced. Wanyan Shouxu has long been mentally and physically exhausted, and it can even be said that he is discouraged.
Facing the powerful Mongolia, he was actually desperate in his heart, but he was unwilling to be the king of subjugation, so he kept gritting his teeth and holding on.
Zhao Tai didn't want to say anything more, but after hearing this, he decided to cheer him up, so he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although the Mongols are strong, they kill too much. Now they are invincible and rule a huge territory, but they are unpopular. In today's world The people of all ethnic groups surrendered to the Mongols not because of their virtues, but because they were afraid of their military power and were afraid of being killed by them. This means that as long as we can defeat the Mongolian military power and let the world discover that Mongolia is not invincible, Mongolia will Their rule will collapse. At that time, the Dong Liao, Dong Xia, and Goryeo in the northeast, and the survivors of Xi Xia and X Liao in the west will all remember their hatred and rise up to resist. Then the Jin Kingdom can turn defeat into victory and regain the lost territory!"
After hearing this, Wanyan Shouxu reluctantly cheered up, feeling that there seemed to be hope.
And Zhao Tai said this to Wanyan Shouxu, and also to himself who was about to travel far away.
Use force to build a country, but if force declines, the country will perish. As long as he can withstand it, he will have hope of victory.
