Even during Xiao Wulila's time as a prisoner of the Jurchens,
The two had also met in the Jin Kingdom.
"long time no see!"
Xiao Wulila bowed.
Ma Kuo sighed, "After several years, everything has changed."
Zhao Yuan gestured for the two to sit down and personally poured them wine.
"What grudges did you have in the past?"
"You can let go of everything now."
"General Xiao's country was destroyed and his family perished,"
"General Ma also suffered the tragic deaths of his parents and brothers,"
"This is all thanks to the Jin people,"
"We should work together to avenge ourselves against the Jurchens."
Zhao Yuan is lying.
Ma Kuo's parents and brothers
He died at the hands of the Shandong uprising army.
They insisted on associating themselves with the Jurchens.
It can only be said that those rebel armies,
They were Hebei people who were chased by the Jurchens and fled to Shandong.
I heard that Ma Kuo's parents and brothers died tragically.
Xiao Wulila felt better immediately.
There was even a sense of shared misfortune, as they raised their glasses and said...
"Cheers!"
"From now on, we'll go kill the Jurchens!"
"Dry!"
Ma Kuo drank it all in one gulp.
A boy was led in by a eunuch.
Standing at the door, I didn't know whether I should go in or not.
Zhao Yuan smiled and waved, "Come in and have a drink."
"You accompanied General Ma on his mission to the Liao Kingdom,"
"Along the way, the Yellow-headed Uyghurs and the Gaochang Uyghurs will also be granted titles."
"Yes!"
Yu Yunwen strode in.
After bowing to Zhao Yuan,
He then bowed to the other two.
.....
Those who accompanied Ma Kuo on his mission
Besides Yu Yunwen
There are also a few children from the orphanage.
For example, Zhu Xiaozhong, who was adopted from Shaanxi.
She is already sixteen years old this year.
Reading every morning
Practice martial arts in the afternoon.
Occasionally, one would go to the drill ground.
Train alongside the soldiers.
Currently, the orphanage is located at Tianqing Temple in the north of the city.
It is right next to the military training ground.
Monks forced to return to secular life
There are some places that cannot be found.
They stayed to take care of the orphans.
These orphans came from Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Jingzhou, and the Beijing area.
The total number has exceeded five hundred.
Boys made up 70%
Girls only make up 30%.
Chapter 1772 The Wandering Orphan
Because of the famine
Girls are often easier to sell than boys.
The parents also preferred to keep the boy and not sell him.
Zhao Yuan adopted the orphans he rescued according to a certain ratio.
He did not personally adopt any orphans.
They were then placed in Jici Temples in various locations.
Those five hundred orphans
Those who were adopted as godchildren by Zhao Yuan.
There are only five people now.
It requires extreme effort and excellence.
Outside Weizhou Gate,
A team of hundreds of people is ready to go.
Camels presented by the Gaochang Uyghurs
Zhao Yuan only accepted ten heads.
Let them take the rest back with them.
Because a great deal of wealth was returned, which needed to be transported.
The fine horses presented by the Yellow-headed Uyghurs
But they accepted them all.
In return, they were given some silk and tea.
Several leaders will also be given armor during the investiture ceremony.
Of course, they also presented other local specialties.
The value of the gifts Zhao Yuan returned was roughly equivalent to theirs.
This value is considerable.
This is based on the prices in Kaifeng.
If it were transported to the Western Regions...
Instantly increase your net worth
Both the Gaochang Uyghurs and the Yellow-headed Uyghurs could make a fortune.
The vassal states can profit.
Zhao Yuan didn't lose out either.
That's roughly the situation.
Ma Kuo, Yu Yunwen, Zhao Xiaozhong, and others,
They were all dressed in magnificent brocade robes.
That was bestowed upon me by Emperor Zhao Yuan a couple of days ago.
I'll take it off once I leave Tokyo.
I'll only put it on when I arrive at my destination.
To showcase the beauty of the magnificent clothing of the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Kuo still held the imperial staff in his hand.
This person is destined for a life of hard work.
He spends most of his time on diplomatic missions abroad.
He can speak Khitan and Jurchen.
I guess I'll take a trip around the Northwest.
They can also learn a few phrases of Tibetan and Uyghur.
Xu Kangzong, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, came to see him off.
Just as they were about to set off,
Xiao Wulila reiterated,
“Go back and tell the Emperor of Ming,”
"The Liao and Western Xia were like father and son states,"
"The Liao Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were brother states."
"If the Ming Dynasty and the Western Xia were to swear brotherhood,"
"That would be lowering one's status."
"He has become the son of the Liao Dynasty!"
"What you say makes sense,"
"I will definitely pass on the message," Xu Kangzong said solemnly.
Yelü Dashi and his confidants
They harbored extreme hatred towards the Western Xia.
The two sides agreed to launch a joint attack on the Jin Dynasty.
The Western Xia dynasty turned its back on the alliance and surrendered to the Jin dynasty.
They didn't want to see Western Xia suffer.
They were even less willing to let the Western Xia be elevated to a higher generation out of thin air.
Representatives of the Ming Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty
Negotiations are currently underway in Lanzhou.
It is estimated that Xiao Wulila will deliberately stay in Lanzhou for a few more days.
They verbally threatened the Western Xia envoys.
"Mother, please go back,"
"The child will be back in two or three years."
