A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 875 The beginning and the end

Bao Zheng went home to recuperate, and many matters concerning the Third Division were brought to the political hall, making Han Qi and the others very busy.

Ouyang Xiu brought the account book to his eyes and looked at it carefully. Zeng Gongliang frowned and suddenly asked: "There are more than 5,000 holes here. How can I fix them?"

Han Qi put his feet on the table and looked lazy, but his body was so burly that people worried that the chair would collapse.

He wasn't being lazy, he was having a headache.

"I don't know."

In just a few days, Han Qi felt like he was having a nightmare.

"How did Bao Zheng survive?"

Zeng Gongliang’s question is impossible to answer.

After a long time, Han Qi put down his legs and sighed: "I originally thought that Bao Zheng was proud of his temper, but now I know that it is not easy for him in the Third Division!"

Zeng Gongliang smiled bitterly and said, "It's a headache for the three of us to take care of him, and he's the only one. It's so difficult!"

It's not that the three of them are stupid, it's because finance interferes in every key point. You have to be deft at threading the needle, have the courage to make decisions, and have the ability to be a tinker, tearing down one wall to make up for the other.

"But we still have to do it!"

Han Qi was troubled to find that Bao Zheng was a man of action, similar to himself.

Fortunately, Laobao is old! Otherwise, I might be able to snatch my Prime Ministership away from me one day.

"My dear sirs, the envoy from Jiaozhi is here to see you."

A minor official came outside, and Han Qi said angrily: "How can such a matter get here? Didn't the officials say that it would be left to Shen An to negotiate?"

The clerk said: "The two sides talked earlier. Jiaozhi arrested the families of those generals and exiled them because of the last ambush of the Song Dynasty army in Xiping Prefecture. However, Gui Xinhou said that it was a misunderstanding and it was fine... and then left."

"puff!"

Zeng Gongliang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Han Qi said helplessly: "What do the Jiaozhi people want? Will the navy stop harassing them?"

The clerk nodded and said: "But Gui Xinhou only said that it was a misunderstanding. Once the misunderstanding is resolved, it will be fine. He did not mention the naval attack on Jiaozhi at all."

"This is a bit shameless..." Ouyang Xiu rubbed his eyes and said, "But I feel particularly comfortable. I will go to the office later to buy some food and drinks and have a good meal at home."

Han Qi shook his head, looked at the void and said: "This matter... is good for the Song Dynasty. As long as the navy of the Song Dynasty keeps harassing Jiaozhi, the Jiaozhi people will not be able to have ambitions in the southwest. This is a containment, with many benefits, but next time When we go again, we will do less killing and just show off our power."

"Do you want to continue?" Zeng Gongliang was a little puzzled. "Since Jiaozhi has bowed its head, can't the Song Dynasty accept it when it gets better? Then we can concentrate on dealing with the Liao and Xixia people."

Han Qi said coldly: "The small country of Jiaozhi dares to challenge the Song Dynasty. If we let them go easily, where will the majesty of the Song Dynasty be?"

Zeng Gongliang smiled bitterly and said: "The Song Dynasty has many opponents, we still have to look to the north!"

"Yelu Hongji has suppressed those rebellions. The Liao people will concentrate on dealing with us. At this moment, we can't be distracted!" Ouyang Xiu was in a very happy mood, but like Zeng Gongliang, he believed that the Jiaozhi people were not a threat. The strategic center of gravity should be in the north and northwest.

"It doesn't matter if we let them go for the time being. If they come again next time, they will burn down Shenglong City with a fire."

Han Qi shook his head. This was his temperament, he was very vindictive.

"My dear sirs, the officials have summoned you."

The three of them went to the palace, and Shen An was already there.

Zhao Shu looked in good spirits and even smiled.

This emperor was not very kind to his ministers, and was even a bit mean at many times, so this state was a bit flattering.

"Not only did the navy gain hundreds of thousands of property in the first battle, but it also shocked everyone in Jiaozhi. Li Rizun was afraid. What kind of famous general was that..."

Zhao Shu covered his forehead and thought, and Shen An said: "Your Majesty, Li Changjie."

"Yes, Li Changjie!" Zhao Shu said with a smile: "The so-called famous general was attacked in the east and west by my navy, and he was exhausted from the struggle. What kind of famous general?"

Han Qi was naturally sensitive to the word "famous general", so he said coldly: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty was too weak in the past, and that's why small countries like Jiaozhi dared to provoke. I think Jiaozhi should pay a higher price this time." Only, for example, money..."

Zhao Shu looked at him and said with emotion: "The Zhengshitang has taken over some matters of the Third Division. It has only been a few days. Is Han Qing feeling this way?"

"Yes." Han Qi said tangledly: "It's not easy for the Three Divisions, it's not easy for Bao Zheng."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "I know, so I asked Bao Zheng to go home and rest. As for the Jiaozhi matter... Shen An, you can tell me."

"I think this matter should be ignored." Shen An said: "Jiaozhi is in the southwest of the Song Dynasty. Now that Guangnan West Road has revitalized its armaments, Jiaozhi is not afraid when it comes. So I think the naval harassment will continue."

"You are so unyielding, but harassing Jiaozhi will not do much good for the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Shu said with a smile: "You Shen An claim to be able to scrape oil off the legs of mosquitoes, how can you think of continuing to harass?"

He said with emotion: "Jiaozhi used to be proud. I remember that the late emperor sent people to scold them, but they ignored them. At that time, they were arrogant and domineering. But what about now? Twenty thousand elites were lost in the battle of Xipingzhou, and the navy took them away in the battle. After paying hundreds of thousands of dollars, they came to beg for mercy, but bowed their heads, which shows that in this world, swords and guns still have to speak."

This was originally said by Shen An, but when it came from Zhao Shu, it was extremely shocking.

Shen An felt happy and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Renzong was good, but he was used to being conservative.

But Zhao Shu was different. His experiences from childhood to adulthood made him somewhat cynical, and later he became mentally ill.

This mentally ill patient suffers the most and is even more frustrated. In many cases, he is actually a petty person.

Be cautious!

As an emperor, it is a good thing to be cautious as long as it is not limited to the court.

He refuses to suffer externally. He will resent it when he is bullied and will remember it until his death...

Such a person... cannot be a friend, but he can be an emperor.

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Jiaozhi... But Yelu Hongji has freed up his hands, so Jiaozhi still needs to relax a little."

This was an instruction, but Shen An said: "Your Majesty, I think the navy cannot stop its harassment of Jiaozhi."

"The Liao people are also building a naval army." Zhao Shu likes Shen An's perseverance and revengeful spirit.

You should take revenge from morning till night!

"Since the navy was revitalized, its target has never been a country." Shen An raised his head and said.

"Uh!" Although Zhao Shu was petty, he felt that Shen An's words were a bit... exciting.

"The navy's target is the entire sea!"

The whole sea?

Han Qi perked up and asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"have!"

Shen An had been waiting for this moment. He wished he could kiss Han Qi, but looking at that oily old face, he felt he couldn't bring himself to kiss her.

"The income of the Shipping Company continued to expand, but I concluded at that time that the growth of this income would slow down. Therefore, if the Song Dynasty wanted to find wealth from the sea, it was inevitable to go to sea."

Zhao Shu nodded in approval.

"I went to sea to find wealth, but who was my opponent? I thought he was a cannibal."

What the hell!

Both the monarch and his ministers were a little confused.

Da Shiren currently has a good relationship with Da Song! The two sides have constant trade exchanges, and they are cordial and like a family.

"Is it... too much?" Ouyang Xiu felt his face was a little hot.

"After that?" Shen An sighed: "When the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty occupy the original trade routes of the Great Eaters, will they be willing to do so?"

"No!" Shen An said resolutely: "They will harass and even start a war. The Song Dynasty is far in the east. As long as its naval army is destroyed, can their army still fly over?"

This idea is very realistic.

"So the first priority of the Song Dynasty Navy is to suppress the Great Food Navy, and at the same time, it must be able to suppress the Liao Navy. In other words, the responsibility of the Song Navy in the future is to defeat the Liao and DaShi troops at the same time. cannibal."

Shen An was very excited to be able to express his long-held strategic vision, not to mention the feeling of pleasure.

"Once attacked, the navy of the Song Dynasty will immediately launch a counterattack and then burn the flames of war on the enemy's territory. This is the most basic requirement. In the future, it will have to bear the heavy responsibility of traveling to and from the overseas territories of the Song Dynasty to maintain maritime security..."

"Defeat the Liao and the Great Eaters at the same time..."

This is very inspiring.

"Can you?" Ouyang Xiu didn't understand military affairs, so he was a little worried that Shen An was telling lies. UUReading www.uukanshu.nett

"As long as you keep investing, there will be no problem."

Shen An was full of confidence in this, "The navy of the Song Dynasty frightened the Liao people and made the Jiaozhi people restless in one battle. The navy has been improving its warships. As long as it has money, the navy can continue to maintain its lead over the enemy. This is something I never Suspect."

As long as China makes no mistakes, once it takes the lead, it will basically not give its opponents a chance.

"Win both countries at the same time..." Zhao Shu was moved.

"But Jiaozhi has already bowed its head. If you try to deal with them after you bow your head, it will make people think that the Song Dynasty is too domineering." Ouyang Xiu is not used to this style of behavior.

"Isn't it bad to be overbearing?" Han Qi asked.

Well!

Han Qi's temperament is domineering, so he feels that Shen An's plan is most in line with his ideas and he is very satisfied.

If you are satisfied, you must support him, so Ouyang Xiu was at gunpoint.

Ouyang Xiu frowned and said: "You should let go when you are weak, so that others will follow suit in the future. The Song Dynasty cannot be an enemy of the world, so let go when it is time to let go."

"You are pedantic!" Han Qi immediately started a debate with him.

"..."

The two people gradually became angry in their argument. Zhao Shu was worried that they would fight, so he stopped their argument, and then asked Shen An, "You said you want to keep harassing Jiaozhi, why?"

What's the reason?

Shen An said seriously: "Your Majesty, this war was started by the Jiaozhi people. They can start it, but it is up to the Song Dynasty to decide when it will end..."

"They can start, but it is up to the Song Dynasty to decide when to end."

As Zhao Shu pondered these words, he felt the long-lost passion rising in his blood.

"Well said! Hahahaha!"

Han Qi couldn't help laughing.

No one said he was discourteous because everyone was excited.
