Chapter 738: The Emperor of Flowers and Plants

"Firearms must not be given, let alone gunpowder, even a grenade cannot be given to them, but what I'm worried about now is that Goryeo is disobedient, in case when we attack the party with the Liao State, they send troops behind to attack the Liao State, so that the Liao State is distracted, it may affect our plans." Zhao Zhen stroked his beard at this time and whispered, since he grew a beard, he has developed this small action, and he likes to brush two handfuls when he has nothing to do.

"We didn't expect Liao, but the small country of Goryeo is too ignorant of lifting, and it has just recovered a little land, and even doesn't listen to our orders, and even covets our firearms, if you don't teach these Koreans a lesson, I'm afraid they will be on their noses in the future!" Li Zhang's anger towards Goryeo had not subsided at this time, and he was angry again at the moment.

"You don't have to worry about this cousin, I have already issued an order to cut off the aid to Goryeo, and the envoys sent to Goryeo are also called back, so that those Goryeo people can calm down and talk about it!" Zhao Zhen immediately spoke.

In order to encourage Goryeo to attack Liao, the Great Song Dynasty promised the other party a batch of aid, of course, this batch of aid was not given all at once, but in batches, which was given several times before, and now since Goryeo is disobedient, naturally there is no need to give it again, and the recall of the envoy also shows his attitude, presumably it will not be long before Goryeo will send someone to ask for the Great Song.

Li Zhang also nodded after hearing this, although he was very annoyed with Goryeo, but now is not the time to deal with them, first, Goryeo is still useful to the Great Song Dynasty, and can help them contain the Liao State, and secondly, the Great Song Dynasty can't divide the troops, after all, even the navy has gone to the southeast and north islands, and the army is preparing to attack the party, so it can't draw troops at all.

After chatting a few words about Goryeo, Li Zhang and the two discussed the matter of the Li Dynasty again, Di Qing's latest battle report has been sent back, the war is going very smoothly, it is estimated that now they have killed under Thang Long City, and Li Foma also fled back to Thang Long City, gathered a lot of troops, it seems that he wants to fight them to the death under the city.

For the outcome of this war, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen both think that Li Foma has no possibility of turning over at all, this is not that they are too optimistic, but they are confident in their own strength, taking a step back, even if Di Qing loses the war, but under the guarantee of the strong national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, he can organize the second and third attacks, but Li Foma does not have such a chance.

So Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen have now begun to discuss how to govern the Li Dynasty that has been defeated, originally Li Zhang's remote place can't enter the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty at all, but now to develop the South Seas, and the location of the Li Dynasty is very important, at least the ports along the coast should be occupied, so it is convenient for ships to dock, so the Li Dynasty must also be controlled in his hands.

I want to say something here, because the navigation industry was not developed during the Great Song Dynasty, so most of the sea ships sailed offshore, and it can even be said that they sailed close to the coastline, and sometimes they would definitely detour long distances, so some straight lines still need to be explored slowly, of course, it will definitely take time.

Half a month later, Di Qing's side really came with good news, Thang Long City was conquered, Li Foma refused to surrender after seeing the city broken, gathered in the palace with his wife and children, and then set fire to his whole family, speaking of which Li Foma originally had several other brothers, but he was killed by him because of the rebellion many years ago, and now their family is all dead, and the Li Dynasty royal family is completely broken.

However, Li Zhang always felt that Li Foma's family died too completely, even if Li Foma was unwilling to surrender, there was no need to bring the whole family with him, it was said that several of his sons were already adults, and they could escape, but Di Qing's battle report said that all of Li Foma's sons died in the fire, which seemed a little abnormal, after all, with Li Foma's wisdom, it was impossible not to leave a way out for his Li dynasty.

Of course, although this situation is suspicious, it is a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, Li Foma and his heirs are all dead, and there is no need to worry about someone in South Vietnam using the name of the Li family to do things in the future.

The Li Dynasty was broken, and the southern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty finally lost a big threat, but this also frightened another small country in the south, that is, Dali, although the Great Song Dynasty has been very cold to Dali, that is, it does not interact with it or is hostile to it, but in the face of the increasingly powerful Great Song Dynasty, and the Li Dynasty was also destroyed, which made Dali also frightened, and immediately sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to show goodwill.

Speaking of Zhao Kuangyin did not attack Dali back then, it was not that he didn't want to fight, but after he defeated Shuzhong at that time, the national strength was already weak, and Dali was also honest, so the attitude of Dali towards Dali has always been cold, although Dali sent envoys many times to ask for tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song just did not agree, and it can even be said that there is basically no exchange between the two countries at the national level.

In fact, Li Zhang can also understand the attitude of Dali towards Dali, first, Dali is not a small country, at least much stronger than the Li Dynasty, and even from the perspective of land area alone, it is not much smaller than the historical Western Xia, and it is located in the southwest, and the terrain is very complicated.

For a country like Dali, you say that if you fight, I am afraid that the manpower and material resources consumed are astronomical, especially the mountains in the southwest are too much, which is not conducive to the development of the army at all, if you agree to Dali's tribute, for such a large subject country, the Great Song Dynasty will not rest assured, maybe if you are not careful, you may raise a second Liao country, so you can only use the current cold treatment.

However, in recent years, Dali's life is not very good, now the ruling Dali Emperor is named Duan Suxing, this person is the famous "Emperor of Flowers and Plants" in the history of Dali, the so-called flowers and plants, not that this person likes to mess with flowers and grass, but literally, Duan Suxing loves flowers and plants, the whole palace is full of flowers and plants, every day is to let the dancing girl wear flowers and plants to sing and dance, do not pay attention to the government at all, for which Dali is also the people's resentment boiling.

An emperor is called a faint monarch, it may be because of lust, it may be because of good wine, and it is more likely that he is happy to start wars everywhere, but there are people who become a faint monarch because they like flowers and plants, and this person can be compared with the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao in later generations.

Li Zhang is very interested in Dali, thanks to the blessing of martial arts in later generations, he has checked Dali's information in later generations, and knows that the flower and plant emperor Duan Suxing will be abolished by the Gao family in a few years, and from that moment on, the Gao family held the power of Dali, and even once abolished the Duan family as the emperor, even if the Duan family later regained the throne, but the Gao family was still not liquidated, but still held the power, and the prime minister's position was almost all from the Gao family.
