Chapter 1346: A Rising Empire

All the Xia officials knelt down.

This edict was originally written by Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan refused to draft the edict according to what Li Shunju had just said.

He thought that the Great Song Dynasty was a conquest of the Western Xia, and he should take this opportunity to declare the power of the four Yi, so he wrote an edict impassionedly, scolding the Western Xia for being unrighteous and unjust, the ambition of the wolf, and the arrival of the heavenly army, "the anthill is exhausted".

This obviously does not meet the requirements of the Suixia people of Suyou'an, and Zhao Ji said that it is necessary to make such a decree.

As soon as Zhang's stinky temper came up, hehehe, I'm sorry, the kind of article that His Majesty and the Duke of Guo want me to write, I can't learn Lao Zhang in my life.

Zhao Ji couldn't help it, he looked around, forget it, Cai Jing, come on.

This baby told the Taimiao to sacrifice, scratching Zhao Ji's heart, the calligraphy is good, the temper is good, and the writing is also good, it is the best candidate to know the system.

Of course, Cai Jing obeyed the wishes of Zhao Ji and Guogong, and made a difference.

The article is beautifully written, putting all the blame on Liang Yiburi's body, attributing the death of the Empress Dowager Liang to coincidence, attributing Bingchang's death to the will of heaven, attributing the Xia Kingdom to the dignity of etiquette and law, and sympathizing His Majesty with the Great Song Dynasty for the people of the Xia Kingdom.

I don't know what the old ministers of the Xia Kingdom thought in their hearts, but at least on the surface, they were all moved to tears by this edict, shouting Long live the Holy Son of Heaven.

After reading the edict, Su You took Qianshun from Manjushri's arms, and then Li Shunju accepted the Xia State Fu Xi, saying that it was received on behalf of Qianshun, and then the mountain envoy Jia Liang led the hundred officials, holding the coffin of Bingchang, and went to the Xia Wang's Mausoleum area of Qilian Mountain.

At the same time, to the north of Xingqing Mansion, a cavalry of more than 3,000 people, surrounded by a light four-wheeled carriage of the Song people, marched towards the Great Depression Valley of Helan Mountain.

After carefully escorting the carriage across the river beam of the Tanglai Canal, Renduo Baozhong tore off the white linen on his head and threw it into the canal, and spat fiercely at the wall of Xingqing Mansion.

The strips of white linen fluttered in the wind and snow, and finally fell into the canal, rolling and dancing in the canal, gradually submerging into the canal, carrying the floating load downstream, and finally disappearing into the canal.

The Western Xia Dynasty of the Wei Ming clan was like this white linen strip, and disappeared in the torrent of history.

……

On the first day of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the Ningxia Capital Transfer Division was established, and the young master, the Shu Gongsu oil, was a scholar of the Guanwen Palace, and the respect of the young master was filled with the transfer envoy of Ningxia three roads.

Xipinghou, General Zuo Wuwei, Hexi Jiedu envoy Jialiang, Ningxia Third Road to mention the prison business, and to mention the Hexi Road pipe disposal and other envoys.

Eight party items, fine seals, given the surname Pei.

Fei Ting's family, given the surname Xiao.

To the Lee family, give the surname Chen.

quite super, given a surname.

Yeli's, given the surname Du.

Fang Dang's name, give the surname of Fang.

Mi Fowl, give the surname of the horse.

The Tuoba clan, that is, Yuan Hao's self-styled Wei name, restored the Tang Dynasty's bestowal title, surnamed Li.

Except for the Tuoba family, the other seven family names are all from the name of Taizong in the Tang Dynasty.

The symbols of the Xia State and the national ancestors, seals, crowns, crowns, cars, clothes, as well as the household registration and land registers of the 26 counties, together with the usual testament table, as well as the thank you table made by the former Xia State Rite Department Shangshu Wei Ming Ji Dai Qianshun, had been sent to Bianjing before.

At the court meeting, Wang Jue read out the congratulatory table and the edict of Bingchang, officially announcing the absolute sovereignty of the Great Song Dynasty over the old territory of Western Xia.

After everyone's efforts, the Great Song Dynasty finally revived the spirit before the arrival of Yuanfeng in the fifth year, and collected all the Hetao Hexi and Monan and Mobei into the Song Dynasty.

As soon as the news came out, the world rejoiced.

On the fifth day of the first month of the first month, Zhao Xuan took his five-year-old son Zhao Xu, led the ministers and hundreds of officials, entered the Taimiao, and presented the talisman seal and golden sword of the Xia Kingdom.

There was also a small episode in the middle, Cai Jing arranged a sacrifice link, Wang Qi and Lu Gong thought it was inappropriate, the Xia captives were extremely vicious, this was the first time the little prince participated in national political activities, and he was still a little doll, worried that he would be frightened and lose his manners.

Zhao Xu asked Zhao Xu: "Are you afraid?" ”

Zhao Xu asked rhetorically: "Are Xia people human?" ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment: "Of course it's human." ”

Zhao Xu said: "In the album that Brother Biancan gave me, the natives of New Song Zhou did not wear clothes, decorated with bones, and wore noses. ”

"There is a black soil man from New Song Zhou, named Zhao Chi, tall and big, but not terrible at all, Brother Biancan gave him toffee, and he hammered walnuts for us to eat empty-handed."

"Are Xia people more scary than Zhao Chi? If not, then I'm not afraid. ”

Zhao Ji laughed, he was so proud in his heart that even he was shocked when he saw Zhao Chi for the first time, this son will be better than Lao Tzu in the future.

So he rejected the opinions of Wang Qi and Lu Gongshu, and sure enough, Zhao Xudi's first political appearance was quite perfect.

However, Zhao Xu really cried miserably when Shi Wei inoculated him with cowpox, and was embarrassed by Su Yoke Children's Shoes who were vaccinated together.

The residents of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty are the people closest to the modern citizen class today, but what is somewhat different from the Western citizen class is that in addition to their composition includes Western merchants, hundred workers, and urban civilians, there is also a group of very important people - scholars who have not entered the ranks.

This group of scholars later became the representatives of this class, and when this class began to demand political power, they became the representatives of the burgher class in the court.

The Donglin Party of later generations was a prominent representative of this class, and in the process of competing for political discourse with the traditional landlord ruling class, the Ming Dynasty was buried.

The current citizen class should be accurately defined as people who, except for officials, do not rely on land as a means of production and do not make a living from traditional agriculture.

This group of people has a lot of bad roots, but there are also a lot of cute and ridiculous places, this group of ordinary people in Bianjing, they are coarse and literate, or they have relatives who can read and write, they care about politics, they have the consciousness of the country and the nation, and they have basic political concepts, legal concepts, contract concepts, and private property concepts.

They respected knowledge and intellectuals, valued technological innovation and capital accumulation, were proficient in commerce and trade, liked novelty, and had a spirit of exploration that the traditional landlord class said did not have.

Su You has always believed that the representative of this group of people should not be the Donglin Party in later generations, and their representative should be the one who will make steamed buns in the Li Erjia; Zhou is good at cooking radish and cured pork legs; And the one with blue eyes, who is good at crocheting wool and cotton threads into sweaters, socks, and tablecloths.

In this joyous New Year, a man dressed in a moon-white satin robe, wearing a high hat, black leather boots with high toe tips, ten precious stone rings on both hands, and a rich bearded man stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the towering cement walls of Bianjing City, and sighed: "Oh Almighty Allah, Alice, you see, this is the capital of the greatest and richest country in the East, this is Bianjing." ”

The curtain opened, and Alice walked out with a cute child in her arms, flashing her big beautiful eyes: "It's a pity that the governor and godfather are not ......there"

Hu Ren was Pu Shan, who had received Su You's favor in the South China Sea, and Alice became his wife and gave birth to a child named Marco.

Pu Shan is now a big businessman in Penang, and in recent years, he has figured out the law of the Indian Ocean monsoon, and has also found a position as a sailor companion of the Great Song Dynasty.

The first batch of envoys have now become the Great Song people, and for their own interests, they continue to open up new waterways for the Great Song Dynasty, discover new islands, and become collectors of maritime intelligence.

The current Song ships, Kuizhou and Hangzhou have become the main force in the Great Song Sea because of their scientific design, fast speed, safety and reliability, and can make use of the eight-sided wind.

Coupled with the promotion of theodolite, star charts, nautical charts, and logbooks, the navigation skills of the Great Song Dynasty have surpassed the extent of the Great Voyage in real history.

In Saigon City, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou, the imperial court set up a special maritime bureau, whose function was to collect information, organize nautical charts, and encourage new discoveries and inventions.

Nowadays, there are many outlaws, because they do not have enough money to do business, and simply take up the work of whalers and chart explorers.

These people are of mixed quality, many of them are actually pirates, and as long as the Great Song Sailor catches real evidence, he will definitely be punished.

But the sea is vast, and it is not easy to ask the bitter master to get evidence and report it to the Yamen of the City Division.

As a result, the marine insurance business and the armed escort business are also thriving, and the South China Sea Navy Division has not only achieved the purpose of training troops by escorting the merchant fleet, but also has obtained sufficient funds.

Wang Shao is not short of money now, so he built fortresses and lighthouses in all the coastal ports, and built the narrow peninsula in the north of the Maluka Strait into a solid one, and has begun to extend his claws to the other side of the strait.

It is still the same old way, using money and weapons to support the local warlord forces, and provoking civil strife in the three countries of Sri Buddha, Koshari, and Boni.

Generals and merchants, even more sensitive than courtiers in this regard, have deeply realized that the empire behind them has begun to rise strongly.
