Chapter 386: The Country of Destruction

Zhao Zhenjian's plan to point to the Philippines made Lu Zongdao dumbfounded, in his opinion, there is no point in conquering this kind of overseas enclave, and it is untenable from the etiquette and law, it is not the inherent place of China, and sending troops to conquer is completely a nameless and unprincipled move, how can the dignified Song Dynasty do such a thing?

Savages drive ships to plunder merchants?

This is simply the excuse of the official family, who doesn't know that the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty are all armed to the teeth? Even the sea ships of the Wa Kingdom were mantis arms blocking cars in front of the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty, and the boats of the savages dared to rob the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, which was simply a joke!

Looking at Wang Zeng, who was closest to the imperial steps, Lu Zongdao found that he was surprisingly calm and looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl, could it be that Wang Xianggong knew His Majesty's plan or had some magic method?

Sure enough, the king once spoke: "Your Majesty, Ma Yi is a foreign land, although there is a robbery of merchant ships, but after all, it is a disease of scabies, and now it is useless to send huge ships to conquer." ”

Lu Zongdao nodded again and again, it seems that Wang Xianggong has already had a wonderful way to deal with it.

Zhao Zhen sighed slightly: "Actually, I did this for another reason, I plan to send troops to Dali......"

As soon as this remark came out, the hall became silent, as if time was frozen, everyone looked at Zhao Zhen blankly for a long time, his jumping thinking made the ministers of the two governments a little unable to keep up, send troops to Dali?

Lu Zongdao hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done!" The existence of Dali is that Taizu drew the Dadu River with a jade axe as the boundary, and said: In addition, I don't have it! Now that my Great Song Dynasty is conquering again, won't it lose the prestige of Zhao and Song? ”

Lu Zongdao's words made everyone silent, there was a border riot in the east of Dali that year, Duan Sushun happened to meet Taizu's expedition, in view of the failure of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu did not plan to wave Dali, and now the expedition is indeed a breach of trust, which is more terrible than the war itself, how can the ancestral emperor's words of Chrysostom be changed without authorization, if Zhao Zhen violates Taizu's words, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Zongdao and shook his head slightly: "Taizu's words will definitely be obeyed, but this can't become a shackle that restricts my Great Song Dynasty, today's Dali is no longer Dali under the rule of Duan Sushun, the premise of Taizu's jade axe demarcation is that Dali will not commit my Great Song Dynasty borderland, and now Dali Emperor Duan Suxing is good at traveling, and he is so happy, and he has repeatedly spoken wildly to take the land of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Dali attacked Chengdu Mansion?! This news exploded in the hall like a gunpowder bomb, and today's Great Song Dynasty is not different from the past, how could the Great Song Dynasty, which can attack the party and obtain fruitful results, be invaded by a small southern barbarian country?

But why don't the two governments know about such a big thing?

Seeing the suspicious eyes of the courtiers, Zhao Zhen sighed: "I also received the news just now, the source is the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road Division of the black hand, the news is reliable, this is why I don't allow 10,000 soldiers to go to Mayi, I want to use these 10,000 soldiers to go to Dali, collect its land, and destroy this dynasty!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized that since the news of the black hand must be true, Wang Zeng nodded and said: "If the news is accurate, there will be a rush to deliver it soon, although it is not as good as the flying pigeon of the black hand, but it is almost here, why don't you put it at the court meeting and discuss it?" ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head slightly: "This matter must not be delayed, although Chengdu Mansion has a strong army, but the lack of food and grass can not wait for help for a long time, the way to use soldiers is expensive, now the prosperous festival, Dali people are taking advantage of this time to surprise my Great Song, then how can my Great Song sit still?!" The Privy Council dispatched 10,000 soldiers along the highway to Xingyuan Mansion, through Lizhou, through Bazhou, and directly to Chengdu Mansion! ”

This plan for using troops made Cao Wei nod again and again, this is undoubtedly the fastest in terms of speed, but there is one thing that is slightly inappropriate: "Your Majesty, in this way, it will give Dali a chance to breathe." ”

Yan Shu opened his mouth to relieve everyone's concerns: "Is Your Majesty's 5,000 soldiers not arranged?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, could it be that His Majesty had planned to use those 5,000 soldiers to ambush in the south from the beginning?

Zhao Zhen forgot to glance at Yan Shu in surprise, this kid saw his plan clearly, indeed, the five thousand soldiers were not only used to conquer Ma Yi, the current Ma Yi was just a land of barbaric savages, and it was not worth sending so many soldiers from the Great Song Dynasty, even the guards hired by Shang Jia could launch a devastating blow to it.

It is true that these 5,000 soldiers are just using the pretext of conquering Mayi, the soldiers are not many but fine, and the 5,000 heavily armed forbidden army is fully capable of launching a surprise attack on Dali, as long as the gap is torn in Dali, the 10,000 soldiers are enough to conquer Dali.

The national capital of Dali is Yangtho Bacheng, and its political center is in the Erhai area. The territory in Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, southwestern Sichuan Province, northern Burma, and a few areas of Laos and Vietnam in the later generations, in Zhao Zhen's view, these are the inherent territory of China, which should have been owned by the Great Song Dynasty, and there are too many uncertain factors.

The ministers of the two prefectures had nothing to say when they saw that the officials had already decided on the attack policy, and the most important thing was that many of them saw the benefits.

Ding Wei smiled slightly, Dali's attack on Chengdu Mansion is afraid that it is controlled by black hands, this is a bitter plan!

With the strength of Dali, it is not easy to attack the state capital of the Great Song Dynasty, so is it obvious that Duan Sushun will not know? But there must be a reason for doing this, and the role of the black hand must not be underestimated.

The main reason for Zhao Zhen's recovery of Dali is because of Yunnan copper, copper is an important monetary resource in the Great Song Dynasty, the copper money of the Great Song Dynasty has been stretched thin under the factory and a large amount of trade, and the development of the ticket number has just begun, a large amount of silver and gold is needed to convert into the standard currency, before that, copper has become an important resource for the Great Song Dynasty to maintain economic development.

Among all the standard currencies, gold and silver are undoubtedly the strongest, and the confidence it gives to the country and the people is undoubtedly the greatest.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is going to the gold and silver standard currency, copper money has played an immeasurable role at this critical time, and the speed of accumulating gold and silver is far less than brass, which is why the basic policy of copper money as currency has been set since Qin swept Liuhe, and it is not unreasonable that it has been used since the second hundred years of Qin, which shows that the output of gold and silver in the land of China is very small......

Today's Great Song Dynasty has been able to obtain a large amount of gold and silver from overseas, but these gold and silver need to be used as a guarantee of currency still need to accumulate time, after all, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is too developed, once all the Jiaozi issued by the ticket number, there is no corresponding natural currency as a guarantee will have disastrous consequences.

Now that Yunnan copper is in front of him, how can Zhao Zhen not take it?

In Zhao Zhen's eyes, Dali has always been China's territory, and he often went in and out of Yunnan because of "business" in later generations......
