Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

"Thank you Fan Taicheng for your help!"

After retreating from the court, Tong Guan found Fan Zheng and expressed his gratitude.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "You are so polite, Mr. Tong. It was Fan who recommended you to go to the Western Ocean. You and I are both honored. Not to mention that you did nothing wrong in this matter. The King of Ceylon brought it upon himself and helped us, the Song Dynasty, to seize Ceylon." The island found a breakthrough.”

Thinking of the strategic position of Ceylon Island in the Western Ocean, Fan Zheng couldn't help but feel excited. As long as the Song Dynasty controlled Ceylon Island and used it as a transit point, the Maritime Silk Road would be greatly shortened and its benefits would be doubled.

Nowadays, the Song Dynasty is booming and requires countless money. The more convenient Maritime Silk Road will definitely become the biggest boost for the Song Dynasty to take off.

Tong Guan nodded solemnly. He originally thought that he was crazy enough to arrest the King of Ceylon when he returned without permission, but he did not expect that Fan Zheng's evil plan was even more radical.

"Now that the map of the Western Ocean has been drawn, and the Song Dynasty once again occupied Ceylon Island, our mission of drilling through the Western Ocean and opening up the Maritime Silk Road has been completed, and Tong can complete his mission!" Tong Guan said with emotion.

He is a eunuch, and he knows that his greatest favor is in the palace. Now he has returned with the credit of opening up the Silk Road, which is enough to honor him for a lifetime.

Fan Zheng was moved. Tong Guan returned from opening up the Silk Road and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. He will be reused and may follow the same path of future generations.

However, he knew that Tong Guan's military leadership in later generations led the Song Dynasty into a road of eternal disaster, and he said calmly: "I heard that Eunuch Tong reached as far as the far west, and the people there were all dark, like Kunlun slaves? "

"Yes, there are such people. In addition, there are people with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin in Dashi and other places. In Tianzhu, the skin is even brown. There are really many strange things in the world." Tong Guan said with emotion.

Tong Guan's trip to sea this time, in order to drill through the Western Ocean and achieve the goal of opening up the Maritime Silk Road, took a very long time and traveled through Western countries, reaching as far as Somalia.

Fan Zheng's eyes flashed and he said: "It is true that the world is vast and full of wonders. We, the Song Dynasty, consider ourselves to be the kingdom of heaven, but we did not expect that the land occupied by the Song Dynasty is probably just one of the nine states in the world. Apart from Eunuch Tong, he has discovered all the Western countries overseas. Besides, aren’t there other Kyushu?”

Tong Guan's heart moved and he said: "What Fan Taicheng means is that today's voyages to the West also only discover a small part of the world."

Fan Zheng glanced at Tong Guan meaningfully and said: "Eunuch Tong should have been at sea for many years. He should understand that as long as there is an ocean, there must be land on the opposite side. Now Eunuch Tong has only opened up the Western Ocean, and to the west of the Western countries, is there no ocean? ? What is the situation on the continent opposite it?"

Tong Guan couldn't help but be shocked! Huo Ran looked up at Fan Zheng.

When he went out to sea, he was once afraid of the rough and turbulent sea. Now, after many years of sailing, he has firmly believed that there must be land on the other side of the sea. As long as he sails in one direction, he will definitely encounter land.

According to the information they gathered from the Far West Country, the west of the Far West Country is also a vast ocean.

"This is not just the Western Ocean, there is also the south of Nanyang." Fan Zheng said again.

Tong Guan said in a deep voice: "Most of Nanyang are islands, and south of Nanyang is the sea."

Tong Guan's heart moved. According to his guess, there may be a continent south of Nanyang that has not yet been explored.

Fan Zheng whispered mysteriously: "What's more important is Dongyang!"

"Toyang?"

Tong Guan frowned. There were only Ryukyu, Fuso and Goryeo in the East. The Song Dynasty had already explored them, but they were not of much value.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Fuso Ryukyu is also an island country. Isn't there a mainland to the east? You also know that the Imperial Medical Bureau is jointly deciphering the oracle bone inscriptions with the Imperial Academy. This batch of oracle bone inscriptions are from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. According to the deciphered results , during the Yin and Shang era, a group of Yin Shang remnants migrated northward, marching across the frozen sea to the continent outside the East Ocean."

"Is this happening?" Tong Guan suddenly asked in shock.

Tong Guan was greatly shocked. He did not expect that outside the East, there were still Yin Shang survivors who were of the same line as the Han people.

And he had no doubts about Fan Zheng's statement. After all, doctors were the first to discover oracle bone inscriptions, which were the oldest written records.

Moreover, according to the records of the eunuch responsible for the voyage to the East, the sea area north of the Jurchen tribe would freeze every winter, and even the entire sea area would be frozen. It would not be impossible for the Yin Shang survivors to migrate eastward from the frozen sea.

"According to Tong's guess, there must be land in the east of the East, which means that the group of Yin Shang survivors may have already existed and even become a branch of Chinese civilization." Tong Guan said solemnly.

Since there is a continent across from the Western Ocean, and there should also be a continent across from the Eastern Ocean, the people of this continent even have a deep connection with the Song Dynasty.

In this way, it was still necessary for the Song Dynasty to continue exploring the East and Southeast Asia.

When Fan Zheng saw Tong Guan's intention, he immediately added another fire and said: "China has been talking about Kyushu since ancient times. However, due to the long history, we have no idea what the real Kyushu is. The achievements of Eunuch Tong's voyages to the West are astonishing. Compared with Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, it was only widely spread in the Song Dynasty."

"If Eunuch Tong can continue to go to Kyushu, he will draw a real map of the nine states in the world and drive a sea ship to connect the nine states in the world. This level of achievement will be enough to surpass Zhang Qian's drilling through the Western Regions. In the future, Tong Guan's name will be spread in the nine states, even if Even Fan is very envious."

"Xia Kyushu!"

"The name Tong Guan is spread throughout Kyushu!"

Tong Guan's breath suddenly froze when he heard the words, and Fan Zheng's heroic words made his heart skip a beat.

He has now dug through the Western Ocean, opened up the Maritime Silk Road, and brought back a large amount of wealth to the Song Dynasty. Such achievements are comparable to Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions.

And he, Tong Guanzu, could be promoted in the court and make a fortune with his huge achievements, and this was his original plan.

However, Fan Zheng's idea of ​​going to Kyushu made his heart beat. It is true that although his current contribution is great, he is only as famous as Zhang Qian, and his reputation is only spread in China.

If Tong Guanzhen completes his grand goal of going to Kyushu, he will not only surpass his predecessor Zhang Qian, but also go one step further and become the first person in history to have a reputation that spreads throughout Kyushu. Even as the evil doctor Fan Zheng said, his fame will make the evil doctor even more famous. Fan Zheng was also envious of him.

"name!"

Tong Guan couldn't help but feel excited. As a eunuch, he valued reputation the most, otherwise he would not have listened to Fan Zheng's proposal to open up the Maritime Silk Road.

And Fan Zheng put forward the grand idea of ​​going to Kyushu, which made Tong Guan even more excited.

"I have heard for a long time that Fan Taicheng's evil methods are invincible, and it is really irresistible!" Tong Guan said with a deep look at Fan Zheng. Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "So, Eunuch Tong agrees."

Tong Guan said proudly: "Since Tong has already sailed to the West, what about going to Kyushu again?"

Fan Zheng reminded: "Eunuch Tong, Fan wants to remind you that the voyage to the West may be completed in a few years, but the voyage to Kyushu may not be that simple. I am afraid it will take Eunuch Tong his whole life to complete such a grand idea."

He naturally knew that Tong Guan was very utilitarian. If he returned to the court with the help of his achievements in the Western voyages, he would surely rise step by step. However, once he continued to Kyushu, he might only have fame.

Tong Guan solemnly nodded and said: "Tong understands, but in Tong's view, the most dangerous place in the world is not the rough sea, but the people's hearts above the court. Compared with the intrigues in the court, Tong is still I would rather conquer the sea.”

After several years of sailing, Tong Guan has long been accustomed to the turbulent sea. In addition, he has just been attacked by hundreds of officials in the court, and he understands that he is a eunuch. No matter how high his merits are, he may not be able to survive. It is difficult to gain a foothold in the court.

And once he completes his grand dream of going to Kyushu, his reputation will be resounding throughout Kyushu in the future. By then, everyone in the world will know his name as Tong Guan. Those who attacked them in the court today may not have the chance to live in Qing Dynasty. Leave a name in history.

"Congratulations, Eunuch Tong!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

The past voyages to the West became China's biggest regret, causing China to miss a great opportunity, but now Fan Zheng wants to completely change this situation and allow the Song Dynasty to completely conquer the world.

It happened that Tong Guan was frustrated by being attacked by the government and the public because of the King of Ceylon incident, and he and Tong Guan hit it off.

"What? Go to Kyushu!"

In the palace, Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng and Tong Guan in disbelief.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "According to the speculations of Wei Chen and Eunuch Tong, the Song Dynasty occupies at most one of the nine states. In addition to the mainland in the West, there are many continents, and even some continents are barbaric lands. Once the Song Dynasty Discovering in advance and seizing the opportunity will bring endless benefits to the Song Dynasty. "

"Infinite benefits?" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng with some suspicion.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Not to mention the output of a fertile land, the current population of the Song Dynasty has exceeded 10 million, and the current land of the Song Dynasty can still bear it. However, fifty years, a hundred years later, even hundreds of In the next year, the population of the Song Dynasty will likely exceed one hundred million. By then, the land of Kyushu discovered by Tong Guan on his voyage to the West will be the best way for the Song Dynasty to alleviate population pressure. "

The explosion of medical skills has opened a Pandora's box of population growth. Fan Zheng understands that the population growth will definitely soar in the future. It just so happens that Tong Guan's trip to Kyushu is just the right solution to the population crisis. After all, the best way to solve the population crisis is to obtain more people. Lots of land.

Tong Guan echoed from the side: "Not to mention a barbaric land, even a fertile land is just a group of small tribes that drink blood. Once our Song Dynasty's heavenly soldiers arrive, they will be enough to conquer all the countries in the South and West, and ensure that our Song Dynasty will have nothing to worry about!"

Zhao Xu finally nodded.

He knew that the crisis of the population explosion was caused by the advancement of doctors' medical skills, which almost became Fan Zheng's heartache. If a large amount of territory could be discovered overseas, the population crisis of the Song Dynasty would turn from a disaster into a blessing for the Song Dynasty.

"Tong Guan, are you willing to continue going to sea! Explore Kyushu for me!" Zhao Xu finally turned his eyes to Tong Guan aside.

Tong Guan took huge risks to go to the West for the Song Dynasty and brought back huge wealth for the Song Dynasty. According to the rules, Zhao Xu wanted to give Tong Guan an official title, and when a person is at the bottom, he is naturally willing to risk his life. In exchange for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, however, with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, I am afraid not many people are willing to risk their lives anymore.

Hearing this, Tong Guan immediately said without thinking: "The villain is willing to continue to go to sea for the Song Dynasty and explore the nine states of the world."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.

"Going to Kyushu will happen in the future. Your main task now is to build the island chain and protect the Maritime Silk Road." Zhao Xu ordered.

The Maritime Silk Road brought too much wealth to the Song Dynasty, not to mention Fan Zheng's island chain plan, which was enough to keep the Maritime Silk Road running, and the speed of moving goods increased several times. Only then It is the most important thing in the Song Dynasty at present.

Once the island chain plan is successful, Tong Guan can naturally continue to explore the Kyushu waterway, and let Tong Guan hand over the power at sea. After all, Ceylon is thousands of miles away, and the voyage to the West was handled by Tong Guan. This is very important to the imperial power. In fact, he couldn't rest assured at all. This was also the reason why Zhao Xu hesitated when the Manchu civil and military forces attacked Tong Guan.

And Fan Zheng's plan to go to Kyushu perfectly solved the hidden danger of Tong Guan's power.

"I obey, little man!" Tong Guan said respectfully.

Although he knew that he would hand over the power of the Western Ocean in the future, Tong Guan did not have the resentment he had just in the court at this moment. After all, he had a more grand plan to go to Kyushu. Once completed, his name of Tong Guan would be resounding throughout Kyushu.

Upon seeing this, Fan Zheng said again: "To inform the officials, the Jurchen Wanyan tribe has signed a maritime alliance with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty will help them unify the Jurchens. They will be responsible for containing the Liao Kingdom in the future so that the Song Dynasty can defeat Xixia and regain Yan." Cloud Sixteen States."

"Sea Alliance! Good!"

Zhao Xu suddenly became arrogant. At first, the Liao Kingdom secretly supported Xixia and allowed Xixia to attack the Song Dynasty. Once the Song Dynasty gained the upper hand, the Liao Kingdom would come to mediate and distract from the situation. Once the Song Dynasty was defeated and was at a disadvantage, the Liao Kingdom would take the opportunity to blackmail him. Da Song, asking for benefits.

But now the Song Dynasty uses its own way to control its own body, and secretly supports the Jurchens. Once the Jurchens are unified, the Jurchens' invincible bravery will definitely give the Liao Kingdom a taste of the Song Dynasty.

"However, the Wanyan tribe is still very weak now, so Weichen has set a three-year term with it. I am afraid that it will not be used until three years later." Fan Zheng said again.

"Three years!" Zhao Xu said disapprovingly after hearing this, "I can still afford to wait for three years! Three years later, I will definitely go to the west again to destroy Xixia, recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and complete what Taizu Taizong failed to accomplish. great cause!”

Tong Guan immediately complimented: "The official's martial arts!"

However, Fan Zheng poured cold water on him and said: "The officials should not be happy too early. The Song Dynasty was indeed trying to become stronger through reforms. However, the Xixia and Liao kingdoms would not sit still and wait for death. Now the young emperor of Xixia, Li Qianshun, is also reforming the dynasty. Tang, while promoting Sinicization, also took into account the bravery of the party. The new emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yanxi, was even more ambitious and intended to revive the bravery of the Liao people with the help of hunting!"

Zhao Xu's expression suddenly became solemn. The Song Dynasty was also inquiring about the intelligence of the Liao Kingdom and Xixia. Naturally, he had some understanding of the changes in the two countries. The Song Dynasty's reforms were partial to literature, while the Xixia Kingdom paid attention to both civil and military affairs. The Liao Kingdom intended to revive its bravery. Three years later, I am afraid that the national strength of the three countries will be enhanced to varying degrees.

"Now the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia are undergoing reforms. Although each has its own focus, it is still unclear who will win in the end. The Song Dynasty cannot take it lightly." Fan Zheng shouted.

Zhao Xu frowned and said: "From Fan Taicheng's point of view, there is a good strategy!"

Fan Zheng solemnly said: "Sailing against the current will lead to retreat if you don't advance. This is true for sailing, and so is the country. Since the Song Dynasty has reformed to become stronger, it proves that the path of reform is correct. If the Song Dynasty wants to defeat Liaoxia, then the only way is to continue to reform. road."

"Continue the reform?" Zhao Xu was puzzled. He had already implemented Wang Anshi's new law in the Song Dynasty. He continued to use it if it was useful and improved on what was harmful. How should he reform it next?
Fan Zheng lowered his head and said: "Officials must not forget that Wang Anshi's reform was not the only one in the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng and suddenly had an idea: "You mean the Qingli New Deal!" (End of Chapter)
