Chapter 255: Secretly Concerned
Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing City.
Zhao Kuangyin is in the imperial study to review the folds, the whole person is calm, boarding the number of loads, the whole body has developed the special atmosphere of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the weight of the society, the spirit of national fortune, as if blessed by his body.
Zhao Kuangyin was only thirty-seven years old, in the prime of life, full of energy, and had to stay up late every day to review the recitals, after all, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and too many military affairs needed to be dealt with by him personally.
In addition to the generals who go out to fight have the right to transfer troops, the generals who have no war in the territory have taken back the generals, and they are idle at home, or they are responsible for training troops in the barracks, and they are not allowed to transfer troops without the instructions of the Imperial Military Department and the Privy Council.
Five generations of troubled times, the court is constantly changing, Zhao Kuangyin himself is through the yellow robe, forced the former Chai family mother and son to step down, so the way is not right, he is always on guard against the imperial power and throne in his hands, not worried about those generals and nobles.
In addition, the grand plan to unify the world is also an ideal of Zhao Kuangyin, which is now being implemented step by step, after taking Jing Chu, the Song army is ready to move, and has begun to disturb itself on the border of Bashu, tentatively using troops, once it tastes the sweetness and finds that the Shu army has no ability to resist, it will be in one go and destroy the Shu country.
After the land of Bashu was taken, only the Yue Kingdom, the Southern Han State, and the Tang State remained in the southern power, which was not a cause for concern.
What gave Zhao Kuangyin a headache was the Northern Han in the west, with the grassland Khitan as shelter, it was difficult to gnaw down that hard bone, but if the Northern Han was not taken, if the Yanmen Pass and the fortress north into the grassland were handed over to the Khitans, they would threaten the safety of the Song State and Bianjing at any time, and no one knew when, the Khitan cavalry passed through the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty and suddenly killed the imperial city of the Song State.
This is something that Zhao Kuangyin can't tolerate, and sooner or later he will have to have a showdown with the Northern Han and Khitans.
In addition, the party members were ready to move in the northwest state capital, and they did not obey the dispatch of the Bianjing court at all, and they had the heart to be the king, so they had to be careful. In terms of feudal towns, the Fuzhou Zhejia, the Linzhou Yang family, the Fengzhou Wang family, and the Qingjian City family have been entrenched in the northwest for decades, and the relationship is intricate, and they still want to maintain the state of separating the feudal towns, which is also unbearable for Zhao Kuangyin.
In all dynasties, only within 20 years of the founding of the country, the military force value is relatively high, the team is strong, once it settles down and enters the peaceful and prosperous era, it is difficult for the army to have combat effectiveness, Zhao Kuangyin also understands this, if he can't sweep the world, solve internal and external troubles, and leave it to the descendants of the Zhao family, there will be no hope.
Zhao Kuangyin tiredly put down the folds and rubbed his temples, in addition to these major military events, there are also some national political emergencies.
For example, the Yellow River burst its banks and flooded for hundreds of miles, and hundreds of thousands of refugees needed to be pacified and rescued.
There was a drought in the northwest, locusts plagued the country, and the people of the two states waited for relief from the imperial court.
In the land of Qilu, the outbreak of smallpox plague is even more of a headache......
At this moment, Zhang Dejun, the chief eunuch, walked into the imperial study and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Official, Wu Desi urgently sent a letter from the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
"What's new in Tang Kingdom?"
Zhao Kuangyin muttered suspiciously, took the secret letter from Zhang Dejun's hand, opened it, swept it aside, frowned, and then gradually became surprised.
In the end, he said in disbelief: "The outbreak of plague in Runzhou, Jiangnan, was very serious at first, but after half a month, it was magically controlled, and with a special method of suppressing smallpox, the patient can be cured, and even the people will not be infected with smallpox for life......"
When Zhang Dejun heard this, he was also taken aback, he was fifty years old, he had lived a long time, and after two or three smallpox plague outbreaks, although he was not infected and was fortunate to escape, but the people in the township died a lot, which was really terrifying.
As far as he knew, since ancient times, no one could completely cure the disease with medicine, and he could only rely on himself to overcome it and resign himself to fate.
"Which miracle doctor has appeared in the Tang Kingdom?" Zhang Dejun asked in surprise.
"Su Chen, Divine Doctor Su!" Zhao Kuangyin said five words and fell into deep thought.
"Su Chen? I've never heard a miracle doctor call me by that name! Hey, that name sounds familiar...... Ah, isn't it ......" Zhang Dejun suddenly remembered a young talent.
Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "It's him, Su Chen, Su Yixuan, the first few secret performances, not about his poems in the north, famous in the north and south; It was the development and sale of new products of green and white porcelain and soap, all of which were made by this person, and now he knows how to treat smallpox. ”
Zhang Dejun was dumbfounded, and a little incredulous.
Can one person be so comprehensive?
"Could it be that the wrong person is being mistaken?"
Zhao Kuangyin glanced up at him and asked, "As the acting commander of the Wu De Division, do you think there is a mistake in the Wu De Division's intelligence?" ”
Only then did Zhang Dejun realize that he had lost his words, he couldn't doubt the intelligence agency he was in charge of, wasn't this a slap in the face?
But Su Chen is just a young scholar, this poetic attainment has shocked the world, and it is unbelievable to know how to create something new, and now he has developed a way to restrain the smallpox plague, which is really unconvincing!
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head, looked at the mountains and rivers behind the table, gathered in the place in Runzhou, Jiangnan, and sighed lightly: "I also want to see this Jiangzuo Sulang earlier!" If this person can belong to my Great Song Dynasty, he can lead the way in literature, have business methods, and have excellent medical skills, how many people of the Great Song Dynasty can be benefited, I would rather exchange a few cities for this Su Chen! ”
When Zhang Dejun heard this, he was a little staggered, the official family's evaluation of this young man was getting higher and higher every time, and now he actually had the idea of exchanging a few cities for Su Chen, which is not unimportant.
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, because the city is dead, people are alive, the city is sent out, we can take it back in the future, if such a young genius is used properly, he may be able to earn a lot of silver for the Great Song Treasury every year; It can reduce the scourge of disease and disease; Poetry is very talented, I don't know how many scholars in various states can be subjugated, willing to serve my Song Kingdom. The more things that can be excavated in him, the greater the effect on the imperial court. ”
Zhang Dejun has realized that this person is good at many skills, and he can continue to squeeze his value, which is of great benefit to the governance of the country and the country.
"The official family won't really consider using Jiangbei City to replace people, right? I am afraid that this will arouse opposition from the prime minister and generals......" Zhang Dejun expressed his concerns.
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not, it's just a metaphor, even if I agree, how should those generals who have paid countless blood and lives for this to defeat the city think of me?" And how to target Su Chen? Therefore, this matter should be slowly figured out, first send an envoy to Jiangnan, see who this Su Chen is, stabilize Jiangnan by the way, and prevent Li Yu and some courtiers in Jinling from secretly forming an alliance with Shu to block our Song army's plan to destroy Shu. ”
Zhang Dejun bowed down and praised: "The official family is wise! ”
Zhao Kuangyin said again: "I have to find a suitable person to send Jiangnan and his party." ”
