Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 148: With the smoke rising in the northwest, does anyone really dare to offend the Song Dynasty?

But they said that they had spent the whole night just to spend the night, and early the next morning, they had no time to reflect on yesterday's style and excitement, so they were summoned to the palace by Zhao Kuangyin.

In fact, Fan Building is not a private place at all, and the general meeting of shareholders has attracted a lot of public attention. The news that Zhao Guangmei went in with Xiao Chuo in her arms yesterday, and the two spent the night in Fan Building again, could not be hidden from anyone.

Zhao Guangmei has always attracted a lot of attention, news, and topics among the people in the market. Ordinary people in the market sometimes care more about the private lives of powerful people than the formulation of policies. Soon the rumors about the two of them spread throughout the world. Kaifeng.

Nominally, Xiao Chuo's identity is Han Derang, the fiancée of the Liao ambassador.

The gossip souls of the common people burned instantly.

Your Highness, King of Qin, is indeed a thief!
There are also many people who are not afraid of funerals to watch the fun, and even go to the so-called embassy area of ​​the development zone to block Handerang, and then make sarcastic remarks: "Hey, your wife was slept with by our Highness."

After all, with regard to the complicated relationship between Song and Liao, the hatred of the people of Kaifeng towards the Khitan is really as high as the sky. In their eyes, Han Derang, a Han who works for the Khitan, is called a traitor.

In fact, even if there was no such thing, Zhao Guangmei specially sent the old battalion and the young battalion to take turns to protect the safety of the Liao embassy area. Even so, things like big dung, stones, rotten eggs, etc. People are always thrown into this area from time to time.

Now, the citizens of Kaifeng have finally found new fun.

It was so difficult that Handerang could not pretend not to know, so he could only live in seclusion, his face turned green with gloom.

It was naturally for this reason that Zhao Kuangyin was anxious to summon him.

"You kid, you really dare to sleep with anyone, don't you talk about any personal ethics? After all, we are also the crown prince of the Song Dynasty. Can you change the bad habits of this good wife? This is not good. In the future, you If you become the emperor, will any minister have to be careful when marrying a beautiful concubine? How will future history books, especially unofficial histories, write about you? Are you really shameless?"

Zhao Guangmei had no choice but to say aggrievedly: "Brother, you know me. I really don't have that kind of hobby. It's all nonsense about being a good wife. I just like... mature women in their 20s."

Zhao Kuangyin said disdainfully: "Isn't Xiao Chuo a little younger than you? Is she also considered a mature woman?"

"That's different, brother, she is special, she is Xiao Chuo."

"What's the difference? Just because she is Xiao Siwen's daughter? Look at your potential."

"........."

This is still unclear.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "This matter can be considered big or small. From a big perspective, our Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty finally had such a tacit strategic understanding. It is impossible to say that they will be affected by this. But from a small perspective, after all, She and Han Derang were only engaged, not married. After all, Han Derang was a Han. It seems that their family was born as a slave? Alas, it is a pity that she is a woman of the Xiao family. Even if you are the crown prince, I am afraid that she is unlikely to be your wife. If not, it would not be a bad thing if the marriage between the two countries could be achieved."

Hearing this, Zhao Guangmei rolled her eyes unconsciously.

What good things are you thinking about?

Even if the strategies between Song and Liao had eased, they were still far from being able to marry each other, and even if they really wanted to marry, I'm afraid it would be much easier for him to marry someone named Yelu than someone named Xiao.

Do you really think that the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom was not afraid of Xiao Siwen, and only the monarch and his ministers were close to each other?
Originally, their family was pro-Han in their political stance. They were very powerful in the Yanyun area and had excellent relations with the Han people. They were almost becoming the spokesperson of the Han people's interests in the Liao Kingdom. Xiao Siwen himself was a scholar of Sinology. There are more people wearing Confucian robes who look like Han people than Khitan people. At this time, if you marry a girl to the crown prince of Song Dynasty, what do you want to do?
This is impossible.

Besides, there is no love between the two of them. It is really just a joke. After all, Zhao Guangmei is a man and he is not at a disadvantage. Xiao Yanyan is really famous. To be honest, in Zhao Guangmei's opinion, her appearance is average and her figure is just average. It is not yet developed, but this huge feeling of conquest is indeed intoxicating. When I think that this is the future Empress Dowager of Daliao Chengtian, I feel full of strength when galloping.

But if you really marry someone home, that's a different matter. So wouldn't it be a waste of money?So who conquered whom?You'll be at a huge loss.

Zhao Kuangyin later sighed and said: "Since I can't marry, I hope you know it for yourself. In fact, things between men and women are sometimes the most troublesome. In addition, what you said before is indeed correct. Once the north falls into peace, , Liao Kingdom will definitely make trouble for us in the west, take a look, this is the secret that was delivered to the palace by express delivery over [-] miles last night, and it is for this reason that I asked you to enter the palace today."

"Northwest? Could it be that Li Yixing is dishonest? Um...fuck? Something happened in Qinzhou?"

Qinzhou, which is the dividing line between farming and nomadic life known as Tianshui in ancient times, has a sunset town over there, which is very rich in forestry resources. The border troops cut down trees there and then transported them to the capital.

In fact, the trading house is their biggest buyer. Zhao Guangmei is naturally very aware of this matter. In the early Song Dynasty, there was no one in the border army who did not do business, and no one thought there was anything wrong with this matter.This incident naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the local barbarians. No, a man named Shangbayo gathered the local Tibetan and Dangxiang people to directly attack the Qinzhou military camp, killing nearly a hundred Song soldiers, and caused a border conflict.

Zhao Guangmei was stunned. He really didn't remember such a trivial incident in history, so he was inexplicably horrified: "How dare they?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I've almost understood the matter. Your trading company is too demanding for wood. It is said that more than a dozen mountains have been cut bare, which must have made them anxious."

"Ha ha."

Zhao Guangmei sneered.

Zhao Guangmei does not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. In fact, the ancients, especially the aliens, knew very well about soil erosion. Cutting down too many trees will naturally seriously damage the water and soil downstream. To be fair, There is indeed something wrong with Song Jun in this matter.

However, in the final analysis, the Song Army only cut down trees on its own territory. Even in modern society, this kind of thing is just a protest from neighboring countries. When Egypt built the Aswan Dam, it almost destroyed the water sources of several downstream countries. It’s all broken, so what?

How could there be any reason to rush directly into our homes, attack our military camps, and kill our soldiers?
The most important thing is, where did you get the courage?

This kind of thing is just like... Mexico dislikes the beautiful country for buying their medicines, cultivating drug lords in their territory, and destroying domestic security, so it is as outrageous as sending troops to massacre the border counties of the beautiful country.

Why don't you, a group of nomads like you, move to a different place to graze their cattle due to soil erosion?
He frowned and said: "It's not like a hot-headed native did this. If this barbarian is really a brainless man, why didn't he fight earlier and later and now at this time? There must be someone behind him to support him, it should be Khitan, they are looking for trouble for us!"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded when he heard this and said: "We have similar ideas. It has always been their national policy to support the puppet regime in the Central Plains to cause trouble for us. Now, although there has been some strategic relaxation between Song and Liao, they will definitely cause trouble in the northwest. , the most likely possibility is to support the Tubo people or the Party members. That Tubo person named Shang may be really brainless, but this matter must be a test."

"Then brother, what are you going to do? What do the courtiers think?"

"Hey~"

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin let out a long sigh and even looked a little depressed while sitting on the dragon chair, saying, "There are really too many enemies in the Song Dynasty. Such a sudden incident is really...ah~, Six Parts of Tubo It’s just a bunch of loose sand, but if I, the Song Dynasty, raise troops to attack, and there is support and instigation from the Liao Kingdom behind it, who knows if they will unite because of this? In this way, this will really create a formidable enemy for us."

"Besides, now, the attack on Shu is imminent and has to be launched. If there is a fight, and the six tribes of Tubo unite to fight against me, the Song Dynasty, will Shu still fight? Therefore, the courtiers mean... take a long-term view."

"A long-term plan?"

Zhao Guangmei was happy.

It has to be said that although the cowardice gradually started after the second brother came to power, it was not without traces in the Taizu Dynasty.

"Bullshit, think about it in the long term! Doesn't this just mean that this matter is over and we accept this dumb mistake? Brother, you don't really want to do this, do you? Only Tubo and Dangxiang dare to attack my territory and kill our border troops. Now, If we don’t avenge ourselves, where is the dignity of the Song Dynasty and where is the national character?”

"But after all, we still have to conquer Shu."

"So what? Brother, since you know that this is a test of the Song Dynasty by the Liao Kingdom, if it turns out that the Song Dynasty is really cowed and does not dare to fight on two fronts, how could they not intensify their efforts? If Tubo and Dangxiang They also think that the Song Dynasty is weak and can be bullied, so what should we do? The barbarians of that generation are the most aggressive. If we, the Song Dynasty, take one step back today, we will have to take ten steps back or a hundred steps back in the future. Shouldn't we fight then? If you can punch away with one punch, you will avoid hundreds of punches, so what if we fight on two fronts? With the military strength of the Song Dynasty, why should we be afraid of fighting on two fronts?"

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin seemed a little entangled, Zhao Guangmei said quickly: "The company has made more than 700 million yuan this year. Brother, we have money now. I am willing to donate all the money. I will hold a shareholders' meeting when I get back. If you don't want to Fight, you are responsible for conquering Shu and pacifying the southwest, and my trading company is responsible for pacifying the northwest, how about it?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled bitterly: "Aren't you just fooling around? I didn't see that you were... so bellicose."

Zhao Guangmei quickly said seriously: "I am not bellicose, but this is a matter of principle."

"I understand what you mean. Let me think about this matter. In any case, defeating Shu is the real top priority of our Song Dynasty."

　Does anyone know whether this Champayo is a Tibetan or a Dangxiang?I couldn't find out what ethnic group he was from when I checked the information. Judging by his name, I think he was from Tubo. In addition, Li Yixing also took the initiative to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty this year. The Dangxiang people and the Song people should be in the honeymoon period, but it's hard to say. Maybe Is he really the leader of a small tribe?If anyone knows for sure, please tell me, thank you.
