Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 217 The Southern Song Dynasty’s response and comprehensive development

Under the huge pressure of public opinion, Emperor Zhao Yun of the Southern Song Dynasty, and at the suggestion of his ministers, punished all the envoys who went to Mongolia.

It was too embarrassing to have anything to do. They were greedy for life and fearful of death, and they were trying to blame each other, which almost brought great embarrassment to Da Song.

Moreover, it was not only the Song Dynasty that was lost, but also his face as the emperor. Although he, the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, did not see the images released by the King of Guanzhong, he still received extremely detailed information.

There were many southern students present at the time, and some of them were intelligence personnel of the Song Dynasty. They reported the incident to the Song Dynasty in great detail.

But the more detailed the information, the more frightened the civil and military officials of the court and even him, the emperor, became.

Does this man named Zhang Yong really have a flying artifact? And there really is something that can record images of the past, and the other party even invented a fire that cannot be extinguished by water.

All of this forms a kind of omen. The ancients believed in destiny the most and were also afraid of destiny the most.

After all, when destiny wants you to prosper, you will be very happy, but when destiny wants you to die, what should you do? Change your fate against the will of heaven?

These embarrassing envoys of the Song Dynasty.

Although the person is dead, the crime still has to be determined, and even their family members and some relatives and friends are implicated. Some are dismissed, some are investigated, some are imprisoned, and some are exiled.

In short, no one who had anything to do with these envoys was spared and all were dealt with.

Above the court, all the officials, even the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the powerful minister Shi Miyuan, all tacitly agreed not to mention anything about the King of Guanzhong, his flying artifact, his photographic artifact, and the flame in the sky.

After the ministers dispersed, Zhao Yun summoned Shi Miyuan, who could truly control the government and even supported him on the throne to a certain extent.

"My dear! Tell me what we should do now. Is the King of Guanzhong really the man of destiny? Is the strength of my Song Dynasty exhausted?" Zhao Yun asked with great fear.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty by the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin, there have been more than a dozen emperors, and they have also been divided into northern and southern dynasties. When it comes to his generation, could it be that the ancestral foundation of more than three hundred years has really come to an end?

"Why did your Majesty say this? I, Li Ying of the Song Dynasty, will be immortal for thousands of generations." Shi Miyuan said.

"But, but, how can the divine weapon in the sky be regarded as a divine being? Who is the divine messenger who came out of the cave, the King of Guanzhong?

Isn't he destined? With so many artifacts and visions haunting me, what? This is exactly what destiny is for! "Zhao Yun said with some horror.

How can people not believe in destiny? Destiny wants you to perish, how can you not perish? Could it be that I really want to be the king of subjugation, the master of abdication?

"Guan! You are the emperor of the dynasty. If you are afraid, what will the civil and military councils of the dynasty think?

What will the tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty think? Are you afraid before the enemy attacks? Why are you a king? Shi Miyuan said angrily.

He single-handedly controlled the government and the public throughout the Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the emperor was just a puppet he supported. It was just that this puppet was more obedient, so he kept him.

Now that you are afraid of being like this, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed if you tell me?

"My beloved! I am a descendant of the Pang family of the Zhao family, and I am not even a prince or a county king. I can only sit on this position of great honor and great treasure because of your great help.

Whatever Aiqing says, I will listen to you. Just let Aiqing make the decision in everything. "Zhao Yun said.

He was not an idiot. Seeing Shi Mingyuan's gloomy face at this time, he knew that what he just said was a little too timid.

If Mr. Shi is made unhappy at once, then it is possible for him to depose himself. For him, this throne can be regarded as a pie falling from the sky, and he must not throw it away.

"Guan! You are the true Dragon Emperor. You must remember this. I, the Great Song Dynasty, am destined by fate, and the King of Guanzhong is just a fake king supported by Mongolia!

His so-called artifacts and so-called divine objects are all nothing more than sorcery, and they are all beyond the realm of elegance. Officials need not worry. " Shi Miyuan said.

"My dear, what you are trying to teach me is that I know what we, the Song Dynasty, should do now. Just by punishing the relatives of these envoys, we will still lose face." Zhao Yun said.

The only way now is to bite the bullet and refuse to admit it. Anyway, what you, the King of Guanzhong, say is "Lotus Flower", but I, the Song Dynasty, just don't recognize it.

"Officials! I ask you to issue an imperial edict to punish yourself! Report your sins to heaven, saying that you made a mistake in hiring people, which led to the emergence of Wang Lingming and Zhou Tiansheng in the court, who deceived superiors and concealed subordinates, were greedy for life and feared death, and spoke nonsense.

After that, the whole country was sealed off, preventing our students from the Song Dynasty from going to the Mongolian territory.

All the strange powers and chaos there are just witchcraft. They should not look at it or think about it. People are not allowed to talk about it. Shi Miyuan said.

For today's plan, that's all. The emperor stood up first and admitted his mistake. Then block the news. The people are not allowed to mention this matter, and their students from the Song Dynasty are not allowed to go to Guanzhong again.

"Keke, isn't this a cover-up? The King of Guanzhong shows three videos there day and night, and there is even a video of him gathering with students from the north and the south. This, how can this stop the world's Youyou mouth!" Zhao Yun said.

There is no problem for him to issue an edict of sin on his own. The emperors of the Song Dynasty have issued it many times anyway. God is the one who accuses him, and no one will really punish him as an emperor.

But the problem is, this matter has already been made known to everyone on the street, and to ban it now, wouldn’t it be deceiving others?

Moreover, the folk customs of the Song Dynasty were also very strong, and now he, the emperor, said that the ban might have the opposite effect.

Doesn't this mean that he is afraid of Da Song?

"Guan! Let's be patient for now. The war with Xixia has just ended, and we still can't get enough food and grass. Please give me a few years. When we have all our troops and armor and enough food and grass, we can start the Northern Expedition. .

Depart from Tianshui to Jiange, go straight to the land of Guanzhong, and try to completely kill the King of Guanzhong before Mongolia sends reinforcements. When the time comes, no matter whether it is destiny or not. "Shi Miyuan said.

If you can't defeat the King of Guanzhong now, it doesn't mean you can't defeat him in the future. After all, the gap between Guanzhong and the land of Song Dynasty is huge.

The last war between Xixia and Mongolia indeed caused the Song Dynasty to lose troops and generals, but in just a few years, the Song Dynasty would be able to recover, and then he could launch the Northern Expedition and destroy the King of Guanzhong first.

And take back the land in Guanzhong. When the time comes, these messages will be self-defeating.

"Aiqing! I already know what you mean, so just follow Aiqing's wishes!

For the time being, I will wait for the opportunity and make the King of Guanzhong pay the price. "Zhao Yun said.

"Guan Jia! After all, you are the king of a country and hold the whole world in your hands. Your temporary forbearance and concession does not mean a permanent concession. It is just to accumulate opportunities and launch a fatal blow to the enemy.

This King of Guanzhong is just a puppet king supported by Mongolia, just like the puppet Qi supported by the Jin Kingdom. If it were not for today, there would be no need for us to take action, when the Mongols occupy the entire Central Plains and destroy the Jin Kingdom.

This King of Guanzhong will be killed by the Mongols first, just like the puppet Qi Dynasty back then. " Shi Miyuan said.

When the Jin Kingdom first took over Zhongyuan, Wanyan Aguda also supported a false king, Puppet Qi, but it only existed for a few years before being destroyed by the Jin Kingdom themselves.

The current King of Guanzhong is basically the same as the Puppet Qi back then. The so-called artifacts and artifacts are just tricks of the devil, and he dares to claim destiny.

In the end, after a period of discussion, the monarch and his ministers decided on the final strategy.

After resting for a period of time, the Song Dynasty immediately sent troops to attack Guanzhong and wipe out the king of Guanzhong.

Before that, the Southern Crown Prince was prohibited from going to the Guanzhong area to view those photos, and no one was allowed to spread these stories in the streets. If any storyteller dares to tell this story, he will be arrested.

Use absolutely tough measures to suppress internally.

Soon after, a brief period of bloodshed broke out in the Song Dynasty, and countless southern students who discussed the land of Guanzhong were imprisoned for no apparent reason.

Those who had honors were also deprived of their honors. As for those storytellers, as long as they dared to talk about it in restaurants and teahouses, they would not be spared. They were all arrested. The first time they weighed fifty big boards, and the second time they directly capital offense.

Ordinary people are not allowed to listen or ask about this matter.

Under this high-pressure policy, many scholars and southern students who talked about Guanzhong were in bad luck.

Suddenly, people in the Song Dynasty were full of voices that insulted the imperial court, Shi Miyuan, and even the Emperor of Song.

This kind of high-intensity prohibition was unprecedented for scholars in the Song Dynasty.

Because since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the attitude towards scholars has been quite good. No matter what the scholar says, even. Even if the emperor makes a mistake, he will do so as he says.

It's better now. When it comes to Zhao Yun's generation, won't we be able to talk about you?

The more you try to ban it, the louder and louder the opposition will be among the people, and there will even be fierce conflicts between scholars and officers and soldiers. But this incident was soon overshadowed by another major event, that is, Emperor Zhao Yun of the Song Dynasty made a sacrifice to heaven, bathed and fasted for seven days, and then issued an edict to incriminate himself.

Don't listen to slander and rely on villains, hoping that God will forgive you.

But even so, some literati among the people are denounced and engaged in some resistance.

In short, you can be an emperor of the Song Dynasty, but you can't prohibit scholars from discussing anything. If you prohibit it, you have something wrong in your heart.

The Southern Song Dynasty spent more than half a year using various bloody suppression methods to finally temporarily suppress the limelight that Zhang Yong had created.

However, this is just the calm before the storm.

In the Guanzhong Palace, Zhang Yong also received information from the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, that's what happened. We bribed those storytellers before, but now they all regret it and no longer dare to talk about it. Now in the entire Song Dynasty, anyone who dares to talk about this matter will be punished with death if they don't care." Wang Ming said.

"Yeah! After all, it took more than half a year to do it, even if they start to ban it now.

It's already late, and our videos don't need to be played every day now. Okay, that's the end of it.

Don't embarrass those storytellers, just give them the money and photos they deserve. "Zhang Yong smiled and said.

Suppressing all opposing voices is the best and most effective method, but you can only suppress it for a while. The scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty were very courageous.

Shi Miyuan did a good job with this move, but it still lacked some heat. However, if it were him, Zhang Yong may not be confident that he can do better. After all, he is facing a public opinion attack that transcends this era.

What the Southern Song Dynasty is doing now is the most correct choice, because if they don't ban the discussion of this topic, it will only hit them harder and increase Zhang Yong's own reputation.

"Your Majesty! Our spies report back. It is said that the Song Dynasty is also talking about us now. Propaganda among the people and the literary world, we are just a puppet dynasty supported by Mongolia, just like the puppet Qi back then. Should we have some counterattacks? Means of control?" Wang Ming asked.

"No need! Let them talk! Time will tell everything. Even if we say something now, it won't reach the Song Dynasty. The top priority now is to prepare for the autumn harvest. How is the grain output in various places this year?" Zhang Yong Asked.

Now that the Southern Song Dynasty has completely blocked some communications with Guanzhong, even if those southern scholars want to secretly come to Guanzhong, it is impossible.

No matter what he says, it can no longer be passed on, so there is no need to worry about it at all. The top priority now is his own autumn harvest.

This time for spring plowing, Zhang Yong put in a lot of effort and even used all the cattle given to him by Genghis Khan.

Basically, every household is given a cow for use. The level of cultivated land of these cows from the grassland is indeed not as good as that of cattle raised in farmland.

But humans always have a way to tame you. If you don't obey, you can get a nose ring and a whip to find out.

In addition, Zhang Yong also used various soil-formulated fertilizers and pesticides he knew, so he is still looking forward to the grain output this time.

"Your Majesty! This year's harvest is very good. With the fertilizer you provided, the people in Guanzhong and the two prefectures of Xixia have grown a lot of food.

But the specific number still needs to be calculated. Those newly recruited northern scholars are doing this work, and it is estimated that the statistics will not be available until the autumn harvest is over. "Wang Ming said.

After all, he was just a military attache and a reduced general before, and he still didn't understand things like the autumn harvest. These things had to be left to the literati.

"Yeah! I think the northern student named Hu is pretty good. They are all our grassroots civil servants. We should train them well." Zhang Yong said.

After this group of northern students came, they really helped me a lot.

In just a few months, all the taxation, farming, and commercial taxes in the entire Guanzhong land were settled.

Especially after Zhang Yong taught them some modern management principles, these northern students became even more proficient.

"Your Majesty, the low-level officer training base you proposed to build has now been completed.

According to your instructions, all the brochures for general officers have been distributed, and some senior officers have been asked to give lectures. Your courses were also shown to them using a projection artifact. "Wang Ming said.

"Well! How many are our troops now?"

"Your Majesty! I have no control over the Mongolian side. There should be more than 5,000 cavalry under the supervision of five thousand household chiefs. As for the Han army, there are more than 60,000 people in total, all of whom are stationed troops.

Stationed in various places in Guanzhong, training while working in the fields. "Wang Ming said.

"Sixty thousand people are enough. Don't increase the number of troops for the time being. Okay, you go down and do your work. Do a good job of the autumn harvest. We can't delay the things at the steel plant. We should speed up the deployment of people for construction.

I need this steel plant to be operational next spring. "Zhang Yong said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is going according to your plan."

"Okay, you go down! Call the five Mongolian heads of thousands of households in. I have something to ask them." Zhang Yong said.

Wang Ming nodded, exited Zhang Yong's palace, and then sent in five Mongolian heads of thousands of households.

"Chatuohua, Butler, Huhujin, Shamuhe, and Dambru have met the divine envoy." Five Mongolian heads of thousands of households knelt in front of Zhang Yong and said.

It has been a full year since I followed Zhang Yong. During this year, the five thousand households of herdsmen they led had a good life. Basically, each family's cattle, sheep, and horses had doubled.

After all, no sheep would freeze to death in winter. As long as they handed over 10% of their livestock to the King of Guanzhong in winter, they could keep the remaining 40% of their livestock.

"What's the current situation of the ranch in Xining Mansion? I haven't been there for more than half a year. How is it developing now?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Lord Envoy of God, the number of cattle, sheep and horses inside now exceeds 100,000, of which there are more than 20,000 horses and more than 10,000 cattle.

The rest are all sheep, estimated to number more than 7, and are expected to arrive this fall.

It can produce at least 30,000 meat rams and hundreds of ewes that have been eliminated due to infertility.

Next year, this output should reach 50,000, but if you want to increase it, you will have to expand the pasture. "Cha Tuohua said.

"Well! Thank you for your hard work. Is there no problem in Tubo? Are the Tubo people causing trouble?" Zhang Yong asked.

“Master God Envoy, don’t worry, with your magic medicine, we are not afraid of their plateau curse at all.

They didn't dare to mess with us at all. Not only that, but two new Tibetans also joined us.

After the autumn harvest this year, we will let them come here to meet you. "

"No need, just let them go to Xining Mansion. I also plan to go back to Xining Mansion to have a look." Zhang Yong said.

No matter how busy I am, I have to go back and check whether the large-scale breeding farm is there. After all, the second winter has arrived.
