"Hmph, if you want to destroy our Xixia Kingdom, it depends on whether he has the ability." Li Shuntian also lost his temper at this moment, and he said angrily:
"I have been in Xixia for a hundred years. A small Mongolian country has just been unified. It dares to come to our place to act wildly. Give me an order. All soldiers are ready. Tomorrow, if the Mongols dare to come to attack the city, let them There is no back and forth!"
Li Shuntian gritted his teeth and said.
But even though he said this, but to be honest, it was all angry words. Li Shuntian knew that his weakness was some Taiping soldiers, and there was still a big gap compared with the tiger and wolf divisions of the Mongolian army.
"Your Majesty, there are less than 6 defenders in the Xingqing Mansion, but the Mongol army has a full 20. I suggest that you send [-] troops from the eastern front to the capital, and order soldiers from various prefectures to come to serve the king." At that time, we will cooperate with the reinforcements from the inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Mongolian army."
Wang Zhi, the minister of the Ministry of War, suggested at this time.
However, in the court, there was another heated debate about asking for help from the Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Song Jun is not a good person. Let Song Jun come to help at this time, I am afraid that they will come and never leave."
The censor doctor Zhao Ying immediately stood up and objected.
These censors usually like to impeach. Of course, this is also the job of the censor. They like to impeach some things when they have nothing to do. This matter is subject to impeachment.
"But at this time, it is simply impossible for us Xixia's own army to fight against the Mongolian army."
Hubu Shangshu Jiang Zhong frowned and said.
"The army of the Song Dynasty has come. If the Mongolian army is repelled and they don't leave at that time, what should I do?"
Zhao Ying asked back at this time.
"Master Zhao, it's time. We only need to solve the siege of the Mongolian army in front of us. If we don't ask the Song Dynasty for help now, can we just watch our country being occupied by the Mongols?" ?”
Jiang Zhong asked back.
Drinking poison to quench thirst, although the final result may be death, but at least after drinking poison, you can still linger on for a while. If you don't drink poison, you may die of thirst on the spot.
Zhao Ying was also asked and couldn't answer, but at this time the Xixia country is weak, and it is impossible not to ask others for help. He frowned and said:
"I only know that the Song Dynasty is determined to subjugate the country. If we let the Song Dynasty come in like this, it is tantamount to leading a wolf into the house!"
Jiang Zhong shook his head and said:
"Master Zhao, we are all aware of the problems you are worried about, but the most critical problem now is to solve the problems in front of us first. Only in this way, we will not perish..."
"Furthermore, now that Song is busy fighting with Jin, it is not certain whether it will send troops. Even if it does send troops, it will definitely hurt the Mongol army when the time comes. We think Isn't it easy to drive them out?"
The two were arguing here, and Li Shuntian was also very irritable in his heart. He frowned and said:
"Stop arguing!"
After saying this, he turned his head and asked his prime minister, Qin Muhui, and said:
"Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?"
Qin Muhui thought for a while and said to Li Shuntian:
"Your Majesty, before the Song Dynasty, envoys were sent to inform us of the Mongolian army's invasion, but we didn't pay attention at that time, which is why the situation like today happened."
Hearing what Qin Muhui said, Li Shuntian frowned, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. After all, it was Li Shuntian who meant that he didn't want to see the envoys of the Song Dynasty at the beginning. Qin Muhui said that now, and Li Shuntian would naturally not be happy.
But Qin Muhui is definitely a human being, how could he make the emperor unhappy? He changed the subject and continued:
"Looking at it this way, the Song Dynasty actually still wants to help our dynasty. No matter whether they are sincere or not, they definitely don't want our Great Xia Kingdom to be destroyed, and they will face the Mongolian army directly at that time."
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, which is such a truth.
Between countries, there have never been permanent friends, only permanent interests.
Although the Xixia Kingdom and the Song Dynasty had a feud, but now the two sides have a common enemy.
Since there is a common enemy, there is the possibility of cooperation.
Just like now, they have the possibility to let go of the grievances between each other,
Hearing what Qin Muhui said, all the ministers couldn't help but nodded. Of course, some of them agreed with what Qin Muhui said, and some of them agreed because of their status as prime minister. After all, Qin Muhui at this time Muhui has become the most powerful official of the Xixia Kingdom with one person under one man and over ten thousand people.
"What does the Prime Minister mean?"
Li Shuntian questioned.
"Your Majesty, what I mean is that it is better to ask the Song Dynasty for reinforcements. If you think about it, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom will be at war at this time, and there must be no time for him. There may not be many people who will come. If this is the case, it will be beneficial to the control of our army. .”
Qin Muhui said to Li Shuntian.
He actually had a good wishful thinking, thinking of using Da Song as a gunman.
Historically, the Celestial Dynasty has always regarded itself as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty since ancient times, just like the Ming and Tang Dynasties, when the surrounding small countries all surrendered and became the younger brothers of the Celestial Dynasty.
And every time these little brothers are bullied, they will come to ask their big brother for help.
The big brother of the Celestial Dynasty is really interested in these younger brothers. Not only does he want to send troops to help quell the chaos, but he doesn't even ask for a penny.
Of course, it's not that I don't want it, the main reason is that the younger brothers are too poor, the heavens are in power, the land is vast, and resources are abundant, so I really don't like this.
Li Shuntian nodded when he heard what Qin Muhui said, and said:
"Yes, the prime minister's analysis makes sense."
"What about the opinions of the ministers?"
Li Shuntian then asked back.
None of the people who can be officials in this golden palace is a fool, they are all quick-witted people.
At this time, the emperor and the prime minister have agreed, and the ministers below will not continue to insist even if they are stupid at this time, and there is no point in persisting. After all, at this time, the army is overwhelming and they have no other way.
Therefore, the Xixia Kingdom anxiously sent out envoys, preparing to ask the Song Dynasty to send troops to rescue.
However, the Song Dynasty is still thousands of miles away from the Xixia Kingdom. Even if the Song Dynasty's army really wants to come, it will probably take a while. Li Shuntian still needs to ensure that the Xingqing Mansion will not be breached during this period.
However, it is not easy to achieve this.
