A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 820 New Fear, Loyal Minister

Li Changjie is a person who knows his life goals.

He saw the sweetness of power early on, but in order to gain immense power, you must first gain the emperor's trust.

Who does the emperor trust the most?

Experience throughout the ages told him that the most trusted person by an emperor was his chamberlain.

Those chamberlains who had nothing to do with others were the emperor's favorites and could obtain any rights.

So he castrated himself with one knife and embarked on the bright road of life.

But he was still not satisfied. He wanted to take a peek from a higher place.

So when everyone was worried about the Song army's attack, he was ecstatic in his heart.

This is an opportunity.

Opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

The Song army's weapons were very novel, but in his eyes they were just ordinary.

"Those flames are nothing, and those explosions are nothing. They have limited effect in front of the army."

Li Changjie was hurrying on his way, and the generals around him were complimenting this important minister who had won Li Rizun's trust.

"There are many of us, how many people can be burned by those fires? It's just to scare people."

"Later, when our army approached, didn't the Song army run away? It shows that they still have a guilty conscience."

"If they run slower, our Rockets won't be polite."

"Taobao..."

A horseman came quickly, and after catching up, he said: "Taobao, the Song army has looted hundreds of thousands of properties and is evacuating... His Majesty has ordered that those properties must be taken back."

Damn it!

Li Changjie and the others were chasing him all the way along the river. They didn't know that the city was already in turmoil over this matter. The dignitaries and wealthy businessmen cried and howled in front of the palace, begging Li Rizun to send an army to take back their property.

"Hundreds of thousands of strings?"

There was a gasp of air from all around, and even Li Changjie looked shocked.

"so many?"

Not to mention Jiaozhi, even in the Song Dynasty, everyone would be shocked when they heard that there were hundreds of thousands of dollars of property.

"It's all those..."

The visitor pointed to the sky. Li Changjie understood and nodded: "Tell your Majesty that I will definitely take back those belongings."

There are more than ten thousand people in the east of the city. Maybe they can defeat the Song army without him.

Turning his horse's head, Li Changjie saw the greedy eyes of his subordinates and knew what they were thinking.

Who is willing to do something that does no good?

"A certain person will ask for merit for you. As for the property, do you think those powerful people are outsiders and don't kill animals?"

Li Changjie sneered: "Don't say it's you... I've changed to someone more powerful. If you dare to deprive them of their property, they will turn against you."

Why did Li Rizun send Li Changjie to help them regain their property even though he was holding his nose? Isn't it because of the huge power of this group of people?

Looking at the continent in the east, various forces are intertwined under the imperial power. Starting from the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty, Xixia, Jiaozhi... the undercurrents of the country under the imperial power were surging, and the emperor could only compromise.

"Hurry up!"

Li Changjie decisively abandoned the infantry and led the cavalry away quickly.

The sound of horse hooves shook the earth, and this power made Li Changjie feel excited.

Things between men and women can't be as happy as this, right?

"The Taibao...there are broken troops."

Just when he was excited, he encountered a rout at the front.

"Failed?"

Li Changjie urged without asking, "Leave them alone, we will pursue them alone."

Soldiers are very fast. If you slow down a moment, the Song army may board the ship and escape.

At this moment, he felt that the Jiaozhi navy needed to expand, otherwise the Song army would attack and harass him from time to time.

The cavalry jumped over the broken troops and pursued them. When they arrived at the river, the Song army's warships were speeding up with the wind and heading towards the open sea.

"Thank you Li Rizun for the gold..."

The deck was covered with gold, silver and jewels, sparkling in the sun. Chang Jianren is taking people to count...

"You are so unscrupulous! You are counting our belongings in front of us. How can you be like a bandit?"

"Those are our money!"

Someone said this, and then the shore fell into silence.

Later Li Changjie appeared in the palace.

The atmosphere here is the opposite.

Boom!

The teacup was thrown down, and tea leaves and water splashed onto Li Changjie's lower body. He knelt down indifferently, "I am guilty."

"You are guilty!"

Li Rizun's eyes were full of murderous intent, but he didn't know who he was targeting.

"Why can't we intercept the Song people?"

The courtiers on the side were looking at Li Changjie with unkind eyes.

The so-called powerful people and wealthy businessmen must be inextricably linked to the court. If not, their influence will gradually decline and they will eventually become ordinary people.

These officials had various friendships with the dignitaries who had their property robbed, so looking at Li Changjie at this moment, he wished he could chop him up.

Li Changjie raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Song people have new weapons."

"What new weapon makes you so timid?"

Someone was sarcastic.

"A kind of fire, a magic fire that sticks to the body and cannot be extinguished. There is also something similar to a firecracker, but it explodes very powerfully, killing or injuring those around it."

"That's your excuse!"

"If you don't fight well, you should take the initiative to admit guilt and find excuses for yourself. Do you want to deceive His Majesty?"

"..."

Faced with the accusation, Li Changjie said calmly: "There is some residual ointment, you can give it a try..."

Someone went to get these and later brought the ointment.

When the flames were burning in the palace, a civil servant came over with a sneer, stretched out his foot and stepped on...

"What is this?"

He raised his feet but kept looking at Li Changjie.

Everyone's eyes were on the soles of his feet, and soon moved to his calves.

The flames are rising.

The civil servant lowered his head, and then shouted in panic: "Help me!"

He stamped his feet randomly, but it was of no use in extinguishing the fire.

He was anxious, so he rushed towards his colleagues with flames.

"do not come!"

In an instant, there was chaos in the palace, and everyone was avoiding this person.

"Take it!"

A guard came forward, kicked the man down, and then shouted: "Bring water!"

Fire prevention in the palace is an eternal theme, and soon someone came with water.

At this time, the flames had burned to the civil servant's waist, but he did not feel any pain, so he thought it was not serious and even smiled.

If Shen An was here, he would tell him that the dermis was burned away, so he lost his sense of pain.

When a basin of water was poured over him, he found that the flame was still there, and it was actually spreading along the water.

"This is magic fire!"

The monarch and his ministers all exclaimed.

"Hook out!"

Li Rizun couldn't keep calm anymore. After the burning civil servant was hooked out, he said coldly: "Is this the Song people's new weapon? Where is Li Bai?"

Everyone remembered Li Bai's previous advice. At that time, everyone thought he was being alarmist, but facts speak louder than words.

The hall was filled with the smell of barbecue, and someone retched.

Li Bai came later.

"What do you know about the Song people's new weapons?"

Li Rizun softened his tone, feeling that this royal family still had some abilities and might be able to reuse them in the future.

Li Bai said seriously: "When I was in Bianliang, I risked my life to investigate the situation of the Song army. I saw them throwing porcelain bottles, and then the fire was raging... I was hiding outside at that time..."

These were all arranged by Shen An. Li Bai spoke like water, "The flames can't be extinguished. Splashing water on them will only make them bigger..."

Damn it!

If we had listened more to Li Bai's suggestions, how could everyone have witnessed a live roast!

"There is also that kind of gunpowder clay pot, which is the most powerful thing. For this reason, the Liao people sent hundreds of experts to sneak into Bianliang, just to steal the formula. However, Shen An found out, set up an ambush at night, and killed them all..."

"Why did the people of Song Dynasty produce so many weapons in recent years?"

Li Rizun said with a solemn expression: "We need to investigate. Also, the Song army's harassment has already torn their skin. From now on, Jiaozhi and them will be enemies. But how many new weapons do they have? Can our army resist them?"

"The Song people dare not invade, your Majesty, don't worry."

This is a cliché, but it has a market.

"For them, Jiaozhi is a remote place full of miasma, so they will not dare to come."

"Then what's coming this morning?" Li Changjie couldn't get used to these people, so he asked in a subtle way.

Well!

Morning!

"The navy of the Song Dynasty."

A new fear began to creep in.

"What if the Song people come with hundreds of warships this time? How many troops can they transport?"

yes!

If the Song army's navy comes overwhelmingly, what will happen to Jiaozhi?

"How many navy troops did the Song Dynasty have?"

Someone forced a smile and said: "Is this all you think? After all, the navy costs a lot of money, and the Song people..."

"Song people are not short of money."

Li Changjie said coldly: "As long as the Song people are willing, they can build countless warships. Today I led the army to pursue them. The swordsmen and axemen of the Song Dynasty discarded all their armor in order to go back lightly. Those armors are regarded as treasures in our country. But they abandoned it like worn out shoes... What is this?"

"It's just money!"

After a civil servant said this, he covered his mouth and looked around.

yes!

Those damn Song people, they are rich.

Is having money a big deal?

It's really amazing, at least they can build a large number of warships that make Cochin fearful, and then continue to harass them.

Thinking about the warships that appeared outside Thang Long City every now and then, Li Rizun felt that this day had never been better.

"Build a warship!"

He stood up suddenly and said with bright eyes: "The only thing that can deal with warships is warships. There are brave warriors in Jiaozhi who are not afraid of death, and there are great craftsmen. Go and build warships. When the Song army comes again next time, defeat them." !”

The ministers looked at each other, and Li Changjie praised: "Your Majesty is wise."

yes! Unless they want to surrender, Jiaozhi must have the ability to resist the Song navy.

"Your Majesty, money... money can't be taken advantage of!"

The veins on Li Rizun's forehead jumped a little, and he suppressed his anger and said: "I order the palace to save some, and give some everywhere!"

The ministers were silent, don't speak at this time, otherwise the emperor would be willing to scrimp on food and clothing to build a naval army. As a minister, shouldn't you donate more?

Li Rizun didn't expect them at all. He smiled at Li Bai and said, "You are very good. This time the Song Dynasty invaded Shenglong City, it is reasonable for Jiaozhi to retaliate with a large army. However, I remember the brotherly feelings between the two countries, so it is better to be polite before fighting. good……"

These words sound high-sounding. If it were three years ago, everyone would have shared the same hatred and would have done nothing without sending troops. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

But now no one comes forward.

Think about those magic fires, and the Song army that is said to have become braver. Maybe Jiaozhi will win?

Except for Li Changjie, no one is sure.

"Go and tell Emperor Song about the brutal behavior of their navy..."

This was probably a protest, but it had no effect on the Song Dynasty.

"Yes." Li Bai said generously, "I would rather die than lose the people of Jiaozhi."

This is a loyal minister!

I actually ignored him before, I really shouldn't have.

Li Rizun nodded slightly, "I will remember you."
