Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 928 A Subtle Change in Thought

Few people can understand his intentions. With the Dianqian Division in the southeast and the guard navy with a port along the coast, the south does not need military-level troops at all. It is a waste of limited resources to occupy resources that should be used in the north.

Although the No. 11 camp of the Southern Guard Army, known as the Guangnan Camp, has three armies under its jurisdiction that are not large in scale, and some armies are even inferior to the upper brigade, those exquisite equipment, as well as a large number of mountain and jungle technical equipment, are all It's an expensive thing.

Don't talk about these, there are those medicines that make people feel distressed, and they are only used for training. It is still a worrying unknown whether these steppers can fight against the horse army and bring down the northern battlefield.

"Unfortunately, many people can't see through it!" Wang Xiu sighed lightly, and looked at Zong Liang meaningfully.

Zong Liang was quite embarrassed. He knew some of Wang Xiu's sketches, but he was still powerless to investigate the underlying reasons.

"Okay! The second brother can't do anything in the South China Sea. Oh, and Zhang Gaizhi, I really can't see that this kid is a talent. He usually doesn't show his mountains or waters. He looks mediocre and has a lot of shortcomings. But when released, it turned out to be a man-eating tiger." Wang Xiu gave the Guantang to Zong Liang, and said with a smile, "It's just a little too cruel."

Zong Liang glanced roughly at Guantang, it was about Zhang Guo's record, but there were only thirty or so words, but it was shocking, and he couldn't help clicking his tongue.

Massacres appeared again and again, stabbed and beheaded tens of thousands of people, he was not stingy, and pointed out vaguely, one hundred thousand people, this is still a conservative figure on Guantang, it is even worse than Wang Xiu.

"This kid is really good, he can be regarded as decisive." Seeing Zong Liang's hesitation, Wang Xiu couldn't help but smiled.

Zong Liang's heart trembled, and he immediately realized the cruel reality. Mr. Zhang Guo admired Zhang Guo very much, and even tolerated Zhang Guo's brutal killing. He couldn't help but said: "Mr., the killing is too much, will it cause the common hatred of the whole country?"

"There is no surrender without killing. It would be better if the killing is over. I hope he will plow the South China Sea." Wang Xiu didn't show any mercy. Colonization itself was a race war, and to put it bluntly, it was genocide.He mentioned before that to conquer with a benevolent heart is simply courting death.

"However, the reform is quite strategic, powerful and flexible, and it is really the style of a general. I think if he can persist until the end and open up the land route in the South China Sea, it will eventually fall on him."

Zong Liang had a toothache, and the cruelty he had seen so many times, it was unreasonable for such a cruel person to become a commander in chief, to get such a high evaluation from Wang Xiu, and even Li Changsheng never got the same level.

However, this idea can only be kept in his stomach, he must not bring it up in front of Wang Xiu, it would be humiliating himself.

"Okay, let's not mention the Hainan Sea, and we can't interfere, so let them play freely. The Northwest War is going smoothly, and the people of Wei Mingjia really want to compete with the imperial court to the end. I guess they will also engage in the set of fortifying the wall and clearing the country. It's not fun!"

Wang Xiu didn't mention the South China Sea any more. He already knew that the combination of Li Changsheng and Zhang Guo had achieved great results, and decided that Shangguanqian would have nothing to worry about before he arrived, so he felt relieved and moved the topic to the northwest.

Zong Liang smacked his lips and said: "The armies from all walks of life are advancing steadily. Sheng Qiang is just a grasshopper after autumn. Don't worry, sir."

"Grasshopper after autumn, that's what we said. They are tigers, even if they are dying tigers, they still want to bite people." Wang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Wei Mingganshun made a good plan, but I didn't expect Let's get serious, it's nothing, oh, they finally recognize the chariot soldiers."

While speaking, he walked to the window railing, looked at the withered vegetation outside the window, and said indifferently: "Look at the vegetation outside, one year old and one withered. No matter how beautiful the spring and summer are, they will always face the cold winter and late autumn. Isn't this the case in our family and country? It's beyond human power!"

Zong Liang was listening carefully, and seemed to feel that Wang Xiu was talking about the party members, feeling the reincarnation fate of the dynasty, and couldn't help saying: "Sir, what you said is that the party members stole Dingnan Wuzhou, and took advantage of the power of the imperial court to occupy Hexi. It has been more than a hundred years. , their national fortune is also exhausted, and will soon disappear."

"Oh." Wang Xiu looked at Zong Liang strangely, but didn't explain that it wasn't aimed at Xia, because the party members of this era have never taken him seriously.

Although the Dangxiang people still have strong military strength, he has a good foundation laid during the Zhenghe years. The Song Dynasty was defeated by the Jurchens, but the Western Army still held on to the fruits of victory, forming a favorable situation for Xia's battle.

Now, his thinking has begun to change a little, it should be said to be a kind of sublimation, it is no longer limited to the continuation of the family and the country and helping the world. own limitations.

To put it bluntly, that is to care too much about the family and the country, always thinking about saving the family and the country to achieve the goal of helping the world, but just not seeing the knot, and walking into a dead end.

There is no dynasty that lasts forever. What he does is to continue the rule of the Great Song Empire and delay its demise as little as possible.

Since it is inevitable to perish, why care about its lifespan?Do things with heart, and completely kill all dangers that may kill the Han family's inheritance in the bud. As long as the northern barbarians do not die, even if the Central Plains Dynasty is replaced by reincarnation, then it doesn't matter, at least let the Han family tradition be completely inherited go down.

With the South China Sea and the improvement of internal affairs, even if barbarians enter the Central Plains hundreds of years later, at least the Han family can survive intact.

At this moment, Xu Zhong came in and put up a name card on the ground, saying: "My lord, Wu Xuan, the son of the Wu family outside, asks to see you."

"Why is the elder brother of the Wu family here?" Zong Liang looked at Wang Xiu suspiciously. Wu Xuan deliberately made friends with him.

"It seems that he got a lot of benefits when he came back from Fusang Bird Island." Wang Xiu laughed and said, "Let him come to the study to see me."

Zong Liang's eyelids trembled, and he came to meet him in the study. It seems that Mr. Wu Xuan attaches great importance to him, not as insignificant as he was a few years ago.

"I will pay my respects to Uncle Shi." When Wu Xuan came in, his fat cheeks trembled with excitement, how could he not be excited!This is a study!To be received in the study is definitely a friendly attitude, he dare not even think about it.

"Uncle Ji has been away for several years, and finally he is back!" Wang Xiu smiled and raised his head, and still sat in the middle without moving. He is a prime minister and an elder, so he naturally deserves to be respected.

Zong Liang saw that Wu Xuan had a beautiful beard and was wearing a high-grade lake blue silk robe, but his squinting smile and fat face remained unchanged.

"Brother." Wu Xuan bowed to Zong Liang with a very humble attitude.
