The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 365 Annan Asahi

It was the first time Wang Lixin had close contact with me. Hearing what I said, he was a little nervous but excited and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

I went on to say: "Hong Aiqing, the Wuhe Miaojia Military Region has one of the biggest disadvantages compared to our other military regions, and that is the connection with the rear. Everyone, please look at the map by the Huangni River. The Anshun line in the north of Wuhezhai has already Occupied by the Mongols, although the south of the cottage is bordered by Guangnan West Road, there are mountains and mountains, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient. The only road is the mountain trail in the east. This trail runs through the Miao area and can go directly to Jingnan South Road. It will be an important route for military supplies, so the support of the Miao brothers along the way is very important. Although the Mongols have not yet occupied the Miao area, some Mongolian troops have already entered and exited it, and the Miao villages are independent of each other. I don't have much contact with North Korea, so Hong Aiqing and you need to coordinate in many ways to ensure the smooth supply of military supplies, "

"Don't worry, your majesty, this matter has been carefully discussed with Tian Jingtou, and the wizard Jiang Yang said that he will walk this passage in person and visit all the Miao villages along the way, hoping to gain their support."

"Well, with the support of Great Wizard Jiang Yang, I think this matter is nothing to worry about. However, Great Wizard Jiang Yang is already old. If there is any mistake, I will bear the blame. Hong Aiqing, is there any other way?" ,"

Hong Yuan was quite moved when he heard that I cared about Jiang Yang, and said, "Your Majesty, although the Great Wizard Jiang Yang is old, he has practiced since childhood and is in good health, so he should be fine."

I nodded and said: "Hong Aiqing, then you and Tian Jingtou have a good discussion to select a group of warriors with high martial arts from the Miao family warriors, and absolutely guarantee the personal safety of the great wizard Jiang Yang. At the same time, you tell the great wizard that this time There is no need to worry about things, just go slowly, I have promised the Great Wizard, and when the success is complete, I will go to Jiuli Mountain with him, "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty,"

"Well," I said to Wang Li again, "Wang Aiqing, when you go south this time, you need to keep in mind that the Miao family is also the people of my Great Song Dynasty, and the Han and Miao families are brother nations. They are equally important in my heart. You need to warn the generals that the Miao Military Region is the same as other military regions, if anyone dares to bully the Miao soldiers and destroy the unity of Han and Miao, they will be dealt with by military law."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will bear in mind His Majesty's will,"

"Although Wuhe village is still very backward for the time being, there are mountains and rivers. After you arrive, you can train troops and develop agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery according to local conditions. If you can be self-sufficient, you can get rid of the plight of material transportation. Similar to the garrison system of the Han Dynasty, of course, it must be done in the spare time of military training, otherwise the cart before the horse will have to be tried.”

Hong Yuan and Wang Lixin said in unison: "I obey the order,"

"The specific affairs of the Miao family's independent military region will be arranged by the Military Affairs Council. Teacher and minister, do you have anything to add?"

Jia Sidao seemed to be in a good mood today, so he rarely said a few more words: "Your Majesty, this strange army is bound to play a key role in the future battle between Song and Mongolia. Your Majesty's use of troops is really wonderful. There is also an army of our dynasty on the bank of the Huangni River, and they are all warriors of the Miao family. Your Majesty's move is brilliant, and I agree with it very much."

Although the Miao nationality has always been an important ethnic group in the Han people's country, there is a deep gap with the Han people, and they rarely integrate into the life circle of the Han people, let alone join the army of the Han people. In the Song Dynasty, this situation was the same. Similarly, except for a few people who don't have enough to eat or some special reasons, they generally don't choose to join the imperial army. The [-] Miao army that Wuhezhai is about to form is a miracle in itself.

At the end of July, the weather was still hot. This afternoon, I received two messages from Longya Yao Chaohui and Ye Dongsheng from Guangnan West Road. The first one was about Nongfu. This news was completely beyond my expectation , Nong Fu suffered a sudden illness in early July and died. The second one came from Annan. The king of Annan officially sent envoys to set off on July [-]th to come to Laian to congratulate the new emperor of the Song Dynasty on his enthronement.

Yuan Ji beside me said: "Your Majesty, since Nong Fu has passed away, there is no need to bother about whether Yao Chaohui and the others re-arrange their affairs."

"Well, sir, order Yao Zhaohui to return to Lin'an, and Ye Dongsheng to stay at the border between our dynasty and Annan, and return after the Annan Longya organization is fully formed."

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

There are two reasons for the change of Annan's attitude. First, although the Mongols are also wooing Annan, they use more intimidation. This makes Annan's monarch Chen Huang very dissatisfied. Xiao accepts Confucianism, but it is difficult to accept Mongolia's hegemony. The second point lies in Chen Yuan, the important minister of Annan Kingdom.

Chen Xin, the grandfather of Chen Yuan, the chief assistant of Annan, was a native of Changle Town, Fujian Road in the Song Dynasty. He had the same ancestral home as Chen Huang. When Chen Xin was young, he went to Annan to do business. Full support, Chen Yuan is the grandson of Chen's parents. After entering the official career, he has been deeply valued by Taizong Chen Yu, the first monarch of the Chen Dynasty in Annan Kingdom. In March 1258, Chen Taizong gave way to his son Chen Huang, and specially designated Chen Yuan as the Chen Huang's first assistant minister, and after Chen Yu abdicated, as the Supreme Emperor, he still held great power, so Chen Yuan's power in the court was the same for a while.

On the way back to Annan last year, Chen Yuan accidentally ran into Ye Dongsheng who was about to go to Annan to do business. At the same time, the rumors of the emperor of the Song Dynasty were told in the form of stories. After getting acquainted with Chen Yuan gradually, he instilled the idea of ​​unification in him. Chen Yuan was originally a Han. The plot of the Han people is still very strong.

Later, Ye Dongsheng opened a trading firm in Annan, traveling between the two places, and deepened his friendship with Chen Yuan. Under Ye Dongsheng's conscious influence, Chen Yuan gradually leaned towards the Song Dynasty, but the king of Annan was still free. Between Song and Mongolia, while accepting the canonization of Mongolia, at the same time, he was unwilling to offend the Song Dynasty. This time, because of Chen Yuan's insistence, Chen Huang sent an official envoy north to Lin'an.

Daqing Hall.

"Xuan'an South envoy Chen Yuan entered the palace,"

With complicated emotions, Chen Yuan walked into the Daqing Palace. The last time he was entrusted by Chen Huang to come to Lin'an in secret, but today he was able to enter the Golden Palace of the Song Dynasty openly. As far as Yuan was concerned, he had heard too many stories about the Great Song Emperor from Ye Dongsheng, such as gods and men, the instructions of the tribute court, and the manufacture of monosodium glutamate, etc. Of course, Chen Yuan also confirmed many of these things from his own channels.

When all the information was combined, the result was that the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was indeed an extraordinary person.

"Annan's envoy Chen Yuan pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of China, long live the Emperor of China, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live the Emperor of China,"

"Chen Yuan, excuse me, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Chen Yuan came here to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on his enthronement on the order of the King of Annan." Chen Yuan took out a gift list and said, "Your Majesty, this is a congratulatory gift from the King of Annan to His Majesty. Please, Your Majesty." laughing,"

"Hehe, Mr. Annan has a heart, Chen Yuan, you have worked so hard to come here from thousands of miles away, Xiao Qi, accept Mr. Annan's heart," I said with a smile, "Ma Aiqing, have you arranged Mr. Chen Yuan's itinerary, board and lodging? ,"

Ma Tingluan said: "Going back to His Majesty, everything has been properly arranged,"

"Okay, Chen Yuan, I am very happy that you Annan can officially come to congratulate me on my ascension to the throne. Today, the situation in the world is not clear, and the battle between Song and Mongolia has not yet been decided. In this case, It is very valuable for you to come here,"

Chen Yuan respectfully said: "Your Majesty, although Song and Mongolia each occupy half of the country, I, Annan, have always been friends with the Great Song Dynasty. It is really a bond of friendship. It is natural to stand on the side of His Majesty the Emperor."

I nodded and said, "Mr. Chen Yuan, I will finish today's court meeting first. Are you interested in listening here?"

Chen Yuan was familiar with the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty, and knew that foreign envoys were not allowed to participate in the court meeting, unless it was a ceremonial meeting, so he said in a daze: "Your Majesty is so generous, how dare Chen Yuan refuse to follow?"

"Okay," I said with a smile, "today's court meeting is mainly to discuss the memorial of potential friends in Lin'an Prefecture. This memorial of Qian Aiqing is about a problem Lin'an is currently facing. Due to the rapid development of industry and commerce and the efficiency of rural production With the improvement of the city, many wealthy laborers have poured into the city, and the original city size can no longer accommodate so many people, so it is recommended to expand the city.

,,,,,.

After everyone expressed their suggestions one by one, I said: "Okay, since everyone has expressed their opinions, let me summarize. The problem facing Lin'an City is only a case, but because I am looking at cities in other regions The phenomenon of urbanization is becoming more and more prominent, so I am discussing the memorial of Qian Aiqing here. I am encouraging this. With the development of society, the phenomenon of urbanization will further accelerate. It can be seen from the composition that agriculture no longer occupies the main position, but has formed a situation of equal emphasis on agriculture, industry, and trade. Some people may worry about this, thinking that they have deviated from the teachings of their ancestors. I can tell you with certainty that the future society will be based on The city is the main body, and industry and commerce are the main body, so you don't have to worry at all, no one can violate the law of social development, not even me, "

I went on to say, "Qian Ai Qing,"

"The minister is here,"

"I approve your memorial, but you need to formulate a specific plan. First, it will be reviewed by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, and then handed over to the Government Affairs Council for processing. Finally, I will personally review it,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Government Council, the Ministry of Household Affairs, you need to formulate relevant policies to adapt to the emergence of large-scale urbanization in China,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey the order,"

Chen Yuan, who had watched the court meeting from beginning to end, secretly said, "You are able to listen to everyone's opinions, and you are resolute in dealing with things. You are indeed a wise king. It seems that Ye Dongsheng's stories are not exaggerated."

Chen Yuancai recovered from his thoughts as Xiaoqi's voice of "retreating from court" came to mind.

I looked at Chen Yuan with a pensive expression and said, "Mr. Chen Yuan, follow me to the apse and have a good discussion. Teacher and minister, you also come together."
