The Northeast Plain in the sixth year of Xuanhe was very calm, but there was actually a big crisis hidden under the water surface that seemed to have no wind and no waves!

Aguta's southern tour had a great negative impact on the economy of southern Liaoning. For more than a month before and after the "Southern Tour", the northern access road of Jinmen was almost completely cut off! The direct economic loss accounted for half of Jinmen's tax revenue that year! Although the reconstruction of Liaokou City enlivened the economy of the entire East China Sea, the finances of the Han Department once again paid a heavy price! This year's financial settlement gave Yang Yingqi a headache: the Han Department, which has always been rich, has a deficit! Fortunately, there are savings saved over the years, but watching the accumulated state inventory poured out every day like the Yellow River bursting, Yang Yingqi's heart hurts like being pinched and sawed! And at this time, Xiao Tienu was still clamoring to expand the army!

"Expand the army, expand the bird army!"

From a certain point of view, the social structure oriented by people's livelihood is relatively fragile in the face of war. Southern Liaoning is not completely business-oriented, and the agricultural population is still the cornerstone of the Han population, so its ability to resist attacks is still very strong, but after all, it is not as adaptable to war as the Jurchen society!

If the army is really expanded to the level that Xiao Tienu wants, it will be a nightmare for Yang Yingqi, a miser! Xiao Tienu's meaning is to let the entire Han Department tighten their trouser pockets, maintain their lives at the lowest level, and go all out to level the foreign enemy! But Yang Yingqi knew that the Han Department had developed to this extent, and there was no way back.

"A war without benefit, what are you fighting for!" Yang Yingqi thought. In fact, if he had a choice, Yang Yingqi simply didn't want to expand. Now the people of Hanbu are actually living very well, everyone has food and money to earn, why do they still fight and kill?

It's a pity that he has almost no soulmates in the ministry! Now, not only did Xiao Tienu think about "fighting, killing, and killing" all day long, but even those merchants hoped that the Han army could take them to expand the trade routes to any place they couldn't enter! Even the businessmen are gone, and even the Guan Ning School has begun to have Confucian scholars secretly making a fuss to prove the "legitimacy" of Zhe Yanchong's aggressiveness!

Confucianism is an extremely complex school, and the original Confucianism was originally both civil and military, yin and yang. When the situation was unfavorable, the Confucian scholars might have been forced to settle for the inner sage, and to protect the nation from being reduced to the emperor in a hostile political environment through academic inheritance. And once the development of this nation shows an upward trend, the Confucian scholars' idea of foreign kings will also be an extremely terrifying ideological force.

And our Yang Xiaoqi is playing a very unflattering role at this time. After the total population of the Han Department exceeded one million people, Yang Yingqi often occupied the camp of conservatives! At this time, the economic, political, and social structure of the Han Department had been established, and even without Yang Yingqi, it would inevitably embark on the road of expansion, but because it had just emerged, it was strong in some aspects and very fragile in others, and Yang Yingqi was most afraid that the Han Department would go astray because of mistakes. In Yang Yingqi's view, what he is most afraid of now is not that he doesn't go fast enough, but that he leaves a fatal hidden danger because he walks too fast!

"The sound of the ministry expanding now can't be stopped!" Yang Yingqi said.

"If you can't stop it, why stop it?" Chen Zhenghui is becoming more and more active: "It's not good to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, but it's not good to suppress them and prevent them from growing!" ”

"I know." Yang Yingqi said: "But the problem is, we can't expand! ”

To the north, it is the Jin State, whose military strength is superior to that of the Han Dynasty; To the east, it is Goryeo, which has submitted to the Kingdom of Jin; And to the southwest is the Great Song Dynasty! The Han Department of the Jin State did not want to move for the time being, and Goryeo could not move for the time being out of strategic considerations, so the direction of the Han Department's expansion over the years has been to the south - to expand along the sea in the South Seas! However, because the center of the Han Department is located in Jinmen, under the current technical conditions, the direct jurisdiction of the Han Department has reached its limit after including Ma Yi! If you want to get a larger map of the ocean, unless the Han Department can get Fujian and Lingnan! Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be a crisis of division in the current top-heavy island rule.

"Seven Generals! We can't stay in Liaoning anymore! Chen Zhenghui said: "This place is too narrow for the Han Department. ”

"Well, I know. But what do you want? Do you really listen to Wu Qimai's wishes as the vanguard of their Jurchens? ”

"Of course not!" Chen Zhenghui said: "It's not time yet! And we must not enter the Central Plains in this form! ”

After Chen Zhenghui "figured it out", he abandoned the Zhao and Song regimes more completely than Yang Yingqi, but he also knew that most of the scholars in the Central Plains could not have such a "high" ideological consciousness as him. Of course, ideological consciousness can be educated slowly, but what he is more afraid of is that after this war against the Song Dynasty, it is not the Han Department that gets the Central Plains, but the Jurchens who follow the Han Dynasty! In that way, in addition to gaining the notoriety of a traitor on the outside, I am afraid that the internal department will also fall apart because of this!

However, Zong Wang had already revealed the news and asked the Han Department to prepare to go south. The news he chose to reveal under that circumstance would never be groundless! At present, the situation in the Jin Kingdom is still unstable, so Wu Qimai has not yet issued an edict, but when Huining settles down, and Wu Qimai unifies the forces of Zongwang and Zonghan, it will be difficult for Zheyanchong to disobey at that time!

"Seventh General, why don't we attack!"

"Sortie? Where to hit? ”

"North!" North, that is Huining: "Now the reason why the new lord of the Jin State does not dare to move us and wants to use the means of canonization to appease the general is because the Jurchen is unstable internally, if we take the initiative to attack, we may not have no chance of winning!" ”

Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "Yes, the Jurchen is unstable internally!" Because they haven't finished their pork yet! However, their current weakness is only a lack of offensive strength, but it is not that they are not even able to protect themselves! If we turn against us now, there is only one result, and that is to urge Zong Wang, Zong Han and Wu Qimai to unite against us! That's the last thing I want to see! Haven't you noticed that Zong Han is not active in dealing with us this time? That is the hidden disease of internal division among the Jurchens! But if we attack Huining now, I am afraid that we will heal the hidden danger of the Jurchen split. ”

Chen Zhenghui nodded secretly when he heard this.

Yang Yingqi sighed again and said, "Brother Zhenghui, have you thought about one more thing?" The strategy of driving our Han tribe to invade the south was originally to be thrown out by the secret treasure when Huining had enough strength to force us to obey, but Zongwang leaked it first-why is this? ”

Chen Zhenghui frowned: "Could it be...... Is this just a façade? ”

"No!" Yang Yingqi said: "This is by no means a cover! I think this is a well-thought-out step for Huining! They are not afraid that we will have time to deal with this at all! Because we simply can't think of the best of both worlds! The longer this matter is discussed, the worse it will be! ”

"Seven generals mean ......"

"Huining wants to divide us!" Yang Yingqi said: "And the most terrible thing is that we know what they want to do, but we have no way at all!" ”

Chen Zhenghui was silent. At this moment, a subordinate came to report: "Seven generals of Qiqi!" The second general is back. ”

"Ahh The second brother is back! So fast! ”

arrived at Jinmen at the same time as Cao Guangbi, and there was also very important news: Pingzhou had fallen.
