Chapter 703: There Are Moths Again
"I don't say much about the specifics, but it sounds amazing, my Great Demon King Master can really fight better than the monster soldiers, right?" Rongde's little Lori suddenly interjected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But Queen Xiangong is not here, and no one wants to hit the back of this gibberish Lori's head.
In the mutual praise and joy, the emperor here seems to be more and more lively, more and more people gathered, everywhere is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, His Majesty Shengming's singing of merit and praise.
I have to say that since Zhao Ji was born, this is really the happiest and most glorious time, and the previous "situation is very good" is incomparable with this time.
Even if Zhao Ji doesn't understand it, he understands that the so-called "victory" of the previous marshals and ministers may really be called a victory in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is really incomparable with this time.
In addition, none of these guys who can walk in the imperial city are not traitorous, and in the sound of singing praises and virtues, it obviously shows that the emperor's contribution this time is greater than anyone else's, so Zhao Ji is even more crooked.
Even Zhang Kegong, who mixed in with the help of the big stream, didn't bite anymore this time, and shouted two sentences of God bless the Great Song or something as if he were in response to the situation. But to kill him, he didn't say anything about His Majesty. Because in Zhang Kegong's eyes, Zhao Ji is a big stick, and he doesn't like to tell lies.
Uncle Zhang frowned at the current situation, the reason why he didn't discuss it in the middle hall for the first time, but made a report on the war with Tao Jiefu as a privy councillor, was that Lao Zhang didn't want to provoke this situation where everyone was having fun.
Otherwise, the semi-annual court meeting is coming again, so why not keep the court meeting to say?
"Ahem......"
After Uncle Zhang coughed lightly twice, everyone's voices fell.
Uncle Zhang said at this time: "My Great Song Dynasty has been walking on thin ice all these years, and I have always been in the cracks to survive. Is it because of a victory, and there are no other problems? Not necessarily. It still has too many deep-seated problems and too many loopholes waiting for us to solve. It's still too early to rejoice, and there are still many things to focus on and deploy. β
Zhao Ji was embarrassed for a while.
Including Tao Jiefu and the rest of the people also had black lines on their faces, and some couldn't stand him.
However, there is no way, the victory of the Northwest Victory in the National War is a matter of face for the emperor. This Xiangye, who has been lifting Gao Fangping from beginning to end, now his old Zhang will of course rise with the victory of his protΓ©gΓ© Gao Fangping.
So theoretically, Cai Jing is no longer now, and Lao Zhang is really the one who has the right to speak. Zhao Ji was embarrassed to shut up Lao Zhang.
Zhang Kegong was about to say something, but Zhang Shuye pointed to his nose and said: "Shut up, this is not a court discussion, if you dare to mess with the old man, you will serve the old man with family law, this is the permission that His Majesty personally gave the old man." β
"......" Zhao Ji thought about it, he really said such a thing, so he was embarrassed again.
Zhang Shuye said again: "The official family, it's not that the old minister is out of place, it's not that the old minister wants to sing the Great Song Dynasty and want to sing the opposite, but the victory in the northwest is not all right, and there are still many matters to be resolved." β
Zhao Ji had no choice but to say: "Zhang Qing's words are serious, no one said that you sang the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, you have almost never slept since the National War, and you have more gray hair, I know this, and I am also distressed." β
Uncle Zhang nodded and said, "The happy news is over, and there is not very good news below." β
Zhao Ji was depressed, fortunately, he heard a lot of good news, and he had a thick foundation, so he should be able to carry a wave of bad news, right?
Thinking about it, Zhao Ji had no choice but to say: "Bad news, Zhang Qing should preside over the discussion of the Zhongshu Sect, if you really need to let me know, just say it." β
Uncle Zhang said: "I, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty stationed in the Liao State, sent back the news that the Liao State wants to send an envoy to come. β
"Okay." Zhao Ji smiled, thinking that it was the Liao Kingdom that came to congratulate the Great Song Dynasty on its victory.
Uncle Zhang said: "Your Majesty, don't be happy, they must be here to make trouble, just like more than three years ago, Tao Jiefu conquered Yinzhou, and after the Taoist soldiers arrived in Xiping Mansion, the Liao State couldn't sit still, and came to be a peacemaker to let the troops be suspended, they didn't want my Great Song Dynasty to get too many benefits." β
"That's it again." Zhao Ji was unhappy.
Uncle Zhang said: "So the minister concluded that with his high Fangping's urine nature, winning the national war would not be just counted." The so-called Gao style of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Gao Fangping is still rearming for war, and he will definitely continue to cross the Great Wall to march into Xiazhou and Xiping Mansion after the wax moon passes, forming a state of revenge against Xixia to destroy the country. In this way, we can take the most benefits for our Great Song in the follow-up negotiations. However, because of the intervention of the Liao State this time, it may not be possible to wait for Gao Fangping to send troops in February, and the peace envoys will be concentrated in Bianjing, and His Majesty needs to weigh it in order to respond immediately. β
Zhao Ji wanted to die, thinking of the last negotiation, all kinds of human rights, all kinds of difficulties, and he was depressed for a while.
Now the envoy of the Liao State has not come, and it is not known who will come in the end, but this is really bad news. It is something that will need to be faced at the level of diplomacy and national policy, and it is not subject to anyone's will.
Because Uncle Zhang's "invitation letter" has been sent.
Yes, theoretically, the envoys of the Liao State did not come as soon as they said they, and the reason why the news came first was that they needed to be invited by the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise it was just that they came unilaterally to "travel", and it was nothing if they didn't see it. The invitation letter at this level is theoretically Zhang Shuye or Cai Jingfa. Unless Emperor Liao wants to come in person, then Zhao Ji needs to be invited.
In short, this must be a troublesome matter, but there is no way, this is the bad news thrown out by Uncle Zhang, so I can only wait and see the situation.
Fortunately, Gao Fangping seized the opportunity and did not delay until next year, he had already won a comprehensive victory before the intervention of the Liao State, which was a great luck in misfortune......
Go back to a few days ago.
In the northwest, everyone is happy, it is true that there have been wars and losses, but when the war has become a fact, Gao Fangping is taking everyone to recover all the benefits and use everything that can be used.
The Battle of Hazhongfu did not really end there, and the front line was in the final closing stage, clearing the battlefield endgame.
Gao Fangping has always led the people to sweep the carpet like locusts, but he will not let go of anything that can be used and sold for money. Including wood.
Those broken and all kinds of equipment of the Tangut people, including the wood part on the weapons, were collected, and those timber Guan Qi and Ximen Qingning were not collected. So, Gao Fangping bought it from the people in the name of the Northern Transshipment Division, and the price was very cheap, but as long as he carried it back, he could get a few copper coins, so the people were very active.
This can't be helped, these are all strategic materials for the winter, and businessmen can treat them as waste, but the government must consider the stability of people's livelihood.
Of course, you can order everyone to serve and carry it back unconditionally. But now that they have lost their homeland and it is very difficult, Gao Fangping will not say that when he is a traitor. What's more, the efficiency will be low, and everyone will be passive and slacking off. Therefore, paying a few pennies to make everyone happy and happy, Gao Fangping thinks it is necessary.
Gao Fangping's ability to mobilize the masses is undoubted, so on the third day of the Battle of Hezhongfu, he had basically searched through the entire battlefield, and the army of the people, as well as Guanqi Ximenqing, had already returned to the city in advance to deal with those things.
Scrap items collected by Guan Qi will not expire. But Ximenqing's things have to be disposed of in a hurry, otherwise they will become waste. Fortunately, it is now winter, which is equivalent to a natural freezer, and there will be no random epidemics and flies.
There is no doubt about the efficiency of businessmen. After Ximen Qing and Guan Qi returned to the city, they selected a lot of people with amazing bones to hire them as their long-term workers to help them deal with all aspects of affairs in the northwest.
The war is basically over now, except for the Rongde Emperor Ji and the two 3,000-ton ships built later, several mature 1,200-ton ships were allocated to Guan Qi as delivery orders.
So the big shark was extremely efficient, and organized his temporary hired people to take away all the waste products he could take, including all kinds of iron ore found during the cleaning of the battlefield, and began to load them on ships in large quantities, planning to transport them to the Jiangzhou factory to take out the garbage. Then they will load the things in the Jiangzhou factory and transport them to the Persian Gulf to defraud those wrongdoers!
Yes, according to Guan Qi, he has been to Damascus three times during this period, and he has made a lot of connections along the way, and Jiangzhou's goods are very hot there, but he suffers from one point: the production capacity is still not obscene enough.
As for the two 3,000-ton ships, they were temporarily leased to Ximenqing in order to rely on his efficient merchant channels to transport medicinal materials for the Northwest Transshipment Division. By the way, he took away what he bought from Hazhong Province.
Ximen Qing is now a cow, it is really a shotgun for a cannon, and the two big ships he rented were hoisted under the banner of "Designated Supplier of the Northern Transshipment Division of the Great Song Dynasty", and there was no exploitation everywhere he went, including unimpeded access to Kyoto......
On the fourth day after the Battle of Hezhongfu was launched, the customs were basically closed, and at this time, a small soldier from the front line urgently entered the commander's tent: "Xiao Gao Xianggong, after the military reports from various places are summarized, the cleaning and cleaning up in the Hezhongfu Theater is basically coming to an end, that is, the old handsome, the casualties are slightly larger." β
Gao Fangping nodded and said: "Passing on the order of the government to the front line, all the soldiers who participated in it are heroes and hard work. On a certain day, the government will visit the war zone in person to offer condolences. But now it is imperative to make every effort to deal with the wounded who did not die, and to gather them in Hezhong Province as soon as possible for treatment. β
"Yes." The soldier responded with a fist clenched.
Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Gao Fangping said curiously: "Is there still a problem?" Now the government still has something at hand, and it will take a few more days to go to condolences. β
"It's ......," the little soldier looked strange, always hesitating.
As soon as Gao Fangping heard it, he knew that there was a problem with the Seed Master Dao again, and asked: "What is his old breed handsome doing that lacks virtue again, don't worry about it boldly." β
"The old breed is handsome...... He didn't accept those Western Xia captives very much, and was directing the captives to dig pits. "Little Soldier said.
"There's nothing wrong with that, when there is labor, it's better than burning corpses with fire, that's what it's called fertilizer." Gao Fangping Road.
"He didn't plan to bury the dead, but he planned to bury the 40,000 Western Xia captives after digging a pit. General Shi Wengong and General Bi Shijing felt that it was inappropriate, so they told the little one to report the news to you. "Little Soldier said.
Gao Fangping got up violently and said, "Damn, is this seed master Dao blinded by?" It's just that you don't give the house a good life, prepare a horse, and if it's too late, something will happen. β
