1270. Sent troops to the South China Sea

The gift of the Three Kingdoms alone was a long time to remember.

The civil and military forces of the Great Song and Manchu Dynasties in the hall were all smiling, and even Zhao Dongting was no exception.

The three kingdoms of Liuqiu, Mayi, and Boni flocked to the Great Song Dynasty like this, which is really the embodiment of the strong national strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Manasigana, Mo Li and Wang Zaikan finished reading, Zhao Dongting smiled and said: "The three lords have a heart, and the three ambassadors will thank me after returning to the court." ”

Mo Li, Manasigana, and Wang Zaikan apologized again and again, saying that the Great Song Dynasty had a lot of care for the Three Kingdoms, and this kind of dedication was really insignificant and kind words, and at the same time did not forget to pat the big Song Dynasty's sycophants.

This made the ministers in the palace even more smiling.

Only after that, Manasigana arched his hand and said: "Emperor of Heaven, the minister is here on this trip, and there is another thing I want to ask you to agree to." ”

It is said that the mouth of eating people is short, and the mouth of taking people is soft, although it is really appropriate for Ma Yi and Liuqiu to make two offerings, but Zhao Dongting still asked: "What's the matter?" The ambassador said it bluntly. ”

Manasigana looked at Wang Zaikan beside him and said, "The Manraka Kingdom is already preparing to use troops against our Bo Ni Kingdom, and the minister implores His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven to agree, so that the minister can bring those navigators and naval generals who came to the Great Song Dynasty to return to China first. ”

Wang Zaikan also followed closely and said, "Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven to agree." ”

Ma Yi and Bo Ni are located on the same island in the South China Sea, from the same source, like a brother-in-law.

In the past, the lord of the Ma Yi Kingdom went to Changsha to see Le Chan, and immediately after that, the lord of the Bo Ni Kingdom also sent Mana Xigana to Lin'an to express his submission to Zhao Dongting.

In fact, until now, the Boni Kingdom is still a subject state of the Mayi Kingdom. It's just autonomy.

Its relationship is similar to the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia.

When Zhao Dongting heard the words of the two, he was slightly stunned, "Is Manchuria, about to raise troops to invade your territory?" ”

He could hear the meaning of the words of Manasigana and Wang Zaikan.

The navigators and those admirals were originally from their own country, and they wanted to bring them back, so they didn't need to be so polite. This is obviously asking Zhao Dongting to send troops to help.

Manraka has the help of Champong, Zhenla and other countries, because of the occupation of the inland, its strength is not after all Mayi and Boni can resist.

In the past, there was still the Funan Empire in the South China Sea. Only now that the countries are falling apart, it is no longer possible to advance and retreat together.

Even Zhao Dongting has never been to Mayi, Boni and other countries, but he also learned from the secret report of the Military Intelligence Department that there are many cattleties between countries in the South China Sea.

After a moment's silence, he said, "In this case, when the two envoys return home, they will bring back the navigators and generals of all nations." In addition, how about I send the four armies of Heavenly Killing, Heavenly Fall, Heavenly Defeat, and Earth Warrior to escort you back to your country and communicate with your naval officers and soldiers. ”

Ma Yi and Bo Ni were ultimately subject countries of the Great Song Dynasty, but Manchuria, Zhancheng and other countries did not want to express their submission to the Great Song Dynasty, so Zhao Dongting of course chose to help.

said that he was sending troops to exchange, and he sent troops to help Mayi and Boni.

To do exchanges, exchange groups are enough. Why do you need tens of thousands of soldiers?

Manasigana and Wang Zaikan couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and knocked down again and again: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ma Yi and Bo Ni have always been good friends with my Great Song Dynasty, and you have sent navigators and navies to help my Great Song Dynasty establish a navy." I should send soldiers to your country, and the two ambassadors need no politeness. ”

For the Yue Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, Zhenla and other countries, Zhao Dongting did not pay too much attention to it.

After all, the borders of these countries combined are far inferior to those of the Great Song Dynasty, and the national strength and so on are also far apart.

Zhao Dongting didn't mind taking this opportunity to train the navy.

The most elite armies are not trained, but often cultivated in battle.

As for the inevitable offense to Zhenla, Zhancheng and other countries, Zhao Dongting also did not care about it. Since he said this, he already had this preparation in his heart.

He wanted to build the Great Song Dynasty into the most prosperous empire in Asia, and no one else was allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch. The Great Song Dynasty and the Yue Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, and even Bagan, Tianzhu and other countries will be divided sooner or later. Even if Zhao Dongting had no intention of incorporating all these countries into his country, he still had the intention of making all of them bow to the Great Song Dynasty.

The outside of the bag must be settled first.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is stable and the army and the people are of the same heart. Of course, Zhao Dongting wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to make the Great Song Dynasty the hegemon of Asia and even the whole world.

When the time comes, there will be no worries about external troubles, and he will be able to really concentrate on the development of internal affairs and so on.

The Great Song Empire he wanted was far beyond the imagination of any monarch in this era. Even Kublai Khan, in fact, it is by no means as ambitious as Zhao Dongting.

Although the Yuan Dynasty expanded its territory, it was just a war to feed the war. How can that kind of policy be compared with Zhao Dongting's policy?

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Manasigana and others were received by the Ministry of State. Zhao Dongting returned to the imperial study.

When he arrived in the imperial study, the Ministry of State drafted a holy decree, ordered Qiongzhou to pacify Ran Anguo, and then Wen Tianxiang, the generalissimo of the Xingguo Military Region, and Liu Hongyi, the generalissimo of the Zhennan Military Region, asked him to order the Tianzhi and Tianluo armies to escort the envoys of Ma Yi and Bo Ni back to China. In addition, Bao Ma Yi and Bo Ni are stable.

After this move, Zhao Dongting's ambition to dominate Asia, the South China Sea and other regions can be regarded as completely demonstrated.

And the DPRK and the central government, such as Zhang Jue, Su Liuyi and others, did not raise objections to this matter above the court, and it is obvious that they did not take Champa and other countries too seriously.

The current Great Song Dynasty really has the atmosphere of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Following.

Mana Xigana and Wang Zaikan were no longer staying in Changsha City because the national war was approaching, asked Zhao Dongting for resignation, and went to Chaozhou.

It is impossible for the envoy to stay in Changsha City.

Ma Yi and Bo Ni respected Zhao Dongting as the Emperor of Heaven, and they were both led by Emperor A Xing. This has made the relationship between Deliuqiu, Mayi and Boni also grow by leaps and bounds.

Although the Liuqiu region is far inferior to that of Boni and Mayi, because Emperor Ah Xing was the first to respect Zhao Dongting as the Emperor of Heaven, the two countries did not dare to underestimate Liuqiu.

To put it mildly, they are all the younger brothers of Da Song now. And Liuqiu is the most trusted one.

The imperial examination has been released again.

Although the new imperial examination has been implemented for several years, it is still a major event in Changsha.

Talented and beautiful people, officials and wealthy businessmen, I don't know how many people crowded on the front street to watch when the list was released.

They either came with the intention of seeking a quick son-in-law of the dragon, or they had their own children who were also among the candidates for the imperial examination.

In this imperial examination, nearly 1,000 talents were selected for the Great Song Dynasty.

Although these people may not be able to be of great use soon, they are all talents cultivated under the new type of education. Sent to various places, if you want to come, you will definitely make achievements.

The Great Song Dynasty can be regarded as no longer in trouble.

This made the old ministers of the DPRK and China, such as Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi, look a lot more relaxed.

The Great Song Dynasty was revived with their hard work with the emperor, and when they were originally in short supply, they were afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would decline again, so everyone was worried about it. Now, I don't have that kind of worry.

When the list was released, Zhao Dongting and Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu, Guigu Palace Master and others were in the imperial study. All the examiners for this year's imperial examination are here.

was chatting, and I heard the eunuch outside shouting: "Your Majesty, the list has been released." ”

Then soon a eunuch presented the list of new scholars into the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting looked at it, just smiled and groaned, "Look at the results of this imperial examination, compared with last year, it is even more gratifying......"

Although there are no young geniuses like Li Goudan in this imperial examination, there are many of them with outstanding results.

Not to mention whether these people are really capable of governing politics, but their professional academics always don't need to worry about Zhao Dongting anymore.

Lu Xiufu and the others stretched their necks and looked at each other, their expressions quite interesting.

Zhao Dongting looked at them like this, and laughed in his heart, so he simply handed the new list to Lu Xiufu and said, "You Aiqing also take a look." ”

The ministers looked at it one after another.

Lu Xiufu couldn't stop being happy on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, now we have great talents every year in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are no longer a few great talents like Zhong Jian and Mao Hao. We old guys can finally retire with peace of mind and retire for the rest of our lives. ”

All the ministers in the imperial study laughed when they heard this.

These people are all extremely human ministers, and they don't have anything else to think about at this time.

In the past, they still wanted to strengthen their own strength, but the new imperial examination was booming, and they also cut off that kind of thought.

In their opinion, instead of working hard to get married and so on, it is better to cultivate a few more scholars at home.

As long as there are young Jinshi in their family, the emperor will not treat those children in their family badly.
