Song Shi Mingyue Chapter 4348 "King of Kings"

February of the second year of Chongning. The third batch of overseas expeditions of the Great Song Nanyang Affairs Bureau. It was also the last batch of treasures to arrive at the imperial court. This batch of treasures was valued at 1.5 billion yuan. And one of the Arab diamond crowns was valued at 1.1 billion yuan. It is equivalent to the financial income of the Great Song Dynasty for ten years.

Nevertheless. The little emperor and the Manchu ministers both felt that this Persian crown was very worthwhile. They did not complain at all about Zhao Xing's indiscriminate offer.

This Persian crown is made of 18-karat gold. At the top of the crown is a brilliant diamond the size of a pigeon's egg. The diamond is set at the very top of the crown. Underneath the diamond. It is one hundred and eight slightly smaller diamonds, stacked on top of each other to form a peak, butterfly-like shape - this is the saying of the Song people. The Arabs call this "the stars". The largest diamond at the top is known as the "King of Kings".

Zhao Xing also called this crown "the king of kings". In the war report. He described the crown as being handed down from generation to generation by Arab kings. Just like the Chinese and the family and the jade seal. The necessities of inheriting the throne, the symbol of royal power. But actually. The reason why this crown was delivered last. It was because it took a lot of work by Arab slave craftsmen to make it – in other words. The crown was not actually a seizure. It was Zhao Xing who used the loot to create it himself. But. No one in the Great Song Dynasty knew the news.

This crown was done in Sri Lanka. Its design style is full of Arabic and Indian flavors. There are many religious allegories added to it. Except for brilliant diamonds. The side is slightly inlaid with more than 100 large and small red, blue and green gemstones. And it's set with diamonds. Big and small add it up. More than 10,000 capsules. These diamonds were all selected by Zhao Xing from the loot of the captured land.

Numerous diamond settings. Make this crown in candlelight. Flame beats that reflect multiple facets. After wearing it on the head. The beating light reflected by the diamond is like a sun falling into the mortal world. It's so bright that you can't look at it. It also hides the entire head of the person wearing the crown from the beating light. A sun rises from the shoulders of the living statue.

On the day the crown was presented. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and the ministers of the imperial court were incredulous about the value of the crown. But when the crown is taken out of the jewelry box. It illuminates the entire basilica. The ministers looked up at Song Huizong with the sun above their heads. Full of consternation. And Song Huizong himself was also looking at himself in front of the mirror, as if the sun god had descended into the world. Feel that this crown is really worth the money.

Therefrom. The entire Great Song Dynasty set off a diamond fever. Officials and tycoons of the Great Song Dynasty searched for the stone called "diamond diamond" at all costs. Set it on the tiara. All of a sudden. It seems that men are more keen to wear this momentum than women.

After getting this crown. Song Huizong immediately encouraged a group of Taoist priests to add a new tunnel name to themselves. The new road is long and smelly. It is impossible for ordinary people to remember it all. But from this, Song Huizong got another title: Dao Emperor Emperor. Slowly spend it in the celebration of the honorable number and the ministers. The newly appointed ministers of the six ministries took advantage of this joy to slowly gain a foothold. And the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were beaming with joy under the generous reward of Emperor Daojun. At this moment. The partisanship in the imperial court seems to have eased. No one noticed the Northern War that the two major bureaus of the Great Song Dynasty fought together.

February is the season of spring flowers. In the following days of February. Emperor Daojun with the help of this Persian crown. He showed his vassal kingdoms the courage to reign over all nations. And because of this crown. He felt that he had become the master of the whole world. Therefrom. He imitated Li Shimin. instigated the ministers to give themselves the honorific title of "Heavenly Khan".

He was still thinking about whether it was instigated by Zhao Xing. Add a "Lord of the Seas" or "King of Kings" lands. In a good mood. He flicked his pen. Approved the extra-budgetary self-determination authority of the Nanyang and Beiyang Bureaus, and approved the proposed vision of the situation in the North by the two Secretariats. Meantime. For the local war that was going on in Goryeo, which was intensifying. It is also completely left to the disposal of the locality.

has been suffocated under Zhao Xing for many years. After getting the emperor's edict, Shuai Fan, who let go of his hand, played more and more smoothly. This is also the first time that he has led a completely complete all-firearms and all-arms coordinated force. and rushed to the battlefield as the commander. As the war progressed. The tyrannical element of his personality unconsciously came to the table. Fight the Jurchens. After every battle. He left no prisoners. Every battle. always likes to use torture and play Jurchens.

With the thawing of the Yalu River. Shuai Fan's fierce reputation is getting worse and worse. His brutality is being preached throughout the Northeast. As the war progressed. Even the Song generals were afraid. The officers of the Beiyang Bureau are grinding in battle. They did not dare to negotiate with Zhao Xing in person. asked Shi Cheng to come forward to persuade him.

"Teacher. You can't go down like this. The commander and supervisor went through the village to slaughter the village. Slaughter the city through the city. Where he led the army to go. Only a corpse was left - the teacher. It can't be like this. Captives are also money. The merchants who accompanied the army complained bitterly. They said they had nothing to gain from their trip. The battle was fought like this. They lost a lot of money. In exchange for an empty land. Teacher. What's the use of that frozen land? ”

Zhao Xing was rummaging through a small box. The box contained a kilogram and a half of polished diamonds. He checked the purity of the diamonds one by one and faceted them one by one. Straight lips smacked with satisfaction. Listened to Shi Cheng's complaints. He rolled his eyes disapplauded. Rhetorical question: "We are short of slaves."

Shi Cheng was speechless.

The Great Song Dynasty now seems to have entered an era of prosperity. The state capitals under the Nanyang Affairs Bureau are constantly sprinkling money. Hire errand servants to repair the roads. Construct state and county landmarks. Build free schools and pesticide clinics. Build a large number of military fields. Shi Cheng has been mixed in the Nanyang Affairs Bureau for several years. Even when he got to the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. There are only two roads under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. However, it operated the Goryeo and Wa maritime trade. Use the wealth of the two countries to supply Shandong and northern Zhejiang. This is under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. Although not as good as the Nanyang Bureau. But it is much more prosperous than the inland cities of the Great Song Dynasty.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty were not short of money. They don't seem to lack anything now. Under Zhao Xing's conquest. Hundreds of millions of people throughout the South China Sea became the target of the plundering of the Great Song Dynasty's plundering fleet; And under the order of the Heavenly Sage. The slave trade in the Great Song Dynasty stumbled. It is limited to ten years of the Heavenly Sacred Decree and the release of slaves is separately stipulated. In addition, the supply of goods is always not worried. As a result, the price of slaves in the Great Song Dynasty has not been able to rise. Even a skilled Arab doctor is not as good as a cow.

Compared with the advantages of low price and large quantity of slaves in the South Seas. The fierce Jurchens became less likable. They eat a lot. Less work. He is best at destroying like locusts. Now. The entire Great Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Xing, was occasionally interested in them. Most people don't buy from them**.

The Jurchens are unruly. And the birth of Jurchen still retains the habit of eating human flesh at this time. Facing such a group of humanoid beasts. Shuai Fan held up the butcher's knife. In fact, it is in line with Zhao Xing's wishes. So there was a lot of talk at the bottom. Zhao Xing was stunned.

"The teacher used to tell us. Force alone can only be exchanged for temporary submission. Conquest is a systems project. Teacher. Are you really going to connive at the Shuai Supervisor to kill all the way through like this? Shi Cheng said this. Seeing Zhao Xing, he was unmoved. He begged Zhao Feng next to him again: "Feng Gongzi." You persuade the teacher. The people who are now killed by the Shuai Jian Division are terrified. The soldiers under him had been turned into beasts. Wind Boy. Under the reputation of this killing. ”

Zhao Feng sat in the cabin. Keep your head down and play with the wine glass in your hand. The wine in the glass was amber. When shaken, it reveals a slight wheat fragrance. Shi Cheng finished speaking. Zhao Feng said as steadily as Mount Tai: "My father said that this kind of wine is called brandy." Why did you come up with such a weird name?! ”

Shi Cheng Qi knot. For Zhao Feng's struggling chronic son. He's used to it. But at this time, I still felt difficult to adapt: "Feng Gongzi." I'm not talking about wine. It's thousands of lives. ”

Zhao Feng replied slowly: "The weather is good today!" ”

Shi Cheng looked at it in amazement. Zhao Xing was concentrating on observing a diamond in front of the light. Zhao Feng looked at the sunlight outside the window to inspect his brandy. Shi Cheng stomped his foot. Turn around and walk out of the cabin.

After Shi Cheng got out of the cabin. One of the guards closed the hatch with his hand. Zhao Xing raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Feng. Satisfied, he said, "That's a good answer." ”

Zhao Feng was still checking his wine in the sun. He muttered, "Spring sunshine." It's so warm. ”

The hatch was pushed. Li Qingzhao was dressed in a tight dress. Running into the cabin without touching the ground. As soon as she saw Zhao Xing. He said quickly: "Ah Weng (The daughter-in-law of the Song Dynasty called her father-in-law uncle.) or Aweng, Daweng). I've heard of rivers of blood being killed on the shore. Is there such a thing? ”

Zhao Feng raised his eyes. sighed. Say, "You forgot to knock on the door." ”

Zhao Xing dropped the diamond. Answer: "Things on the battlefield." It seems that the woman should not interject...... Well. Shi Cheng went to look for you? Li Qingzhao twisted his body dissatisfied. Walked to Zhao Feng's side. A ladylike attitude was restored. Quietly made a gesture. Hide behind Zhao Feng.

The two children are already engaged. But in the house rules formulated by Zhao Xing. The man did not reach the age of twenty. Marriage is not allowed. So the two are not married yet. However. Zhao Xing has always been fond of Li Qingzhao. developed Li Qingzhao's casual character in Zhao Xing's house. The attendants also knew that the girl in front of them was the future mistress. So wherever she goes, she is unimpeded.

Li Gefei was very dissatisfied with Li Qingzhao's temper. He has retired to the countryside, and he often comes to Zhao Xing's mansion to visit the door. By the way, I also went to Mingzhou, Yuezhou, and Xiuzhou. and Qin Guan and others chanted flowers and made the moon. Every time I see Li Qing, he looks like he is unscrupulous. It's all a scolding. Therefore. Li Qingzhao can occasionally show the appearance of a lady who is a bird. Pity. The validity of this image is not long.

I saw that the two fathers and sons in the cabin were very focused on doing their own things. It's boring. Li Qingzhao endured and endured. Can't help it. He reached out and pinched Zhao Feng's ear. Pursed at Zhao Xing. Zhao Feng has passed a long time. before putting down the wine glass. Said slowly, "Ah." Earache. ”

Li Qing stomped his feet angrily. She couldn't help but snatch the diamond from Zhao Xing's hand. Interjected: "Big man." Such a tiny stone. Is it worth watching for an hour? There is a bloody pestle on the shore, a bloody pestle. ”

Zhao Xing casually closed the lid of the diamond box. He looked out the window. Said slowly: "In this cold land, we believe in the law of the jungle. The winner is king. They don't speak of righteousness. Teach them righteousness. They think you're weak. And these people have always felt that the Song people are weak. Because of this. The Jurchen of the Hosu Pavilion rejected the suggestion we sent. This is to tell them. Although the Song people are gentlemen. But sometimes it's also angry-eyed King Kong. ”

Li Qingzhao's eyes widened. Puzzled, he said: "Although the Jurchens of the Hosu Pavilion do not agree to establish an independent state with the support of our land. But they still opened their way. We are allowed to plagiarize the Jurchens. But I've heard. The handsome man is all the way to the past. He didn't care if those people were from the Hosu Pavilion or not. It doesn't matter if those people resisted or not. Just go through the village and slaughter the village. Slaughter the town through the town. ”

"The weeds are cleared. so that wheat can be sown. On this piece of land in the Hosu Pavilion. In fact, the remnants of the original Bohai Kingdom were the majority. The Shuai Jian Division killed all the way through like this. I believe. It won't be long. The people of Bohai will come to me......"

Li Qingzhao's eyes rolled. Immediately he said, "But I heard." The officers accompanying the Beiyang Affairs Bureau did not dare to stand with the commander and supervisor now. said that he was murderous. Say that our soldiers have red eyes......"

Zhao Xing nodded: "That's why I let another army come." Now spring is blooming. It's time for the Fujian soldiers to adapt to the northern climate. ”

In the history of the Song Dynasty. The last years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although Fujianese are because of Lu Huiqing. It has always been despised by most people in the Great Song Dynasty. However. After the Jin soldiers went south...... They revolted one after another. Organize volunteers. Help the Song soldiers resist the invasion of the Jin soldiers on the frontal battlefield. Fujian people who dare to venture into the sea have never lacked the courage to take risks. And Zhao Xing's current strategy is to arm civilians. So he chose the Fujian Army as the soldiers of the second round of battles. Let Zhao Feng take it to the sea of Suzhou (the Jurchen Suzhou is today's Dalian). Prepare to replace Shuai Fan's soldiers.

"That's good. Aren't you coming? Take a day off. Tomorrow Shuai Fan will rush to the beach. to take over the Fujian Army. Soldiers on the front line will gradually retreat to the beach to recuperate. That's exactly what I intended. ”

Li Qingzhao gently pinched Zhao Feng. Zhao Fenglei sat upright without moving. Li Qingzhao pinched again. Zhao Feng frowned. I was about to open my mouth to exhale pain. Yuan Yeping knocked lightly on the door. Walked in. He saluted Zhao Xing first. Then there was no shortage of etiquette to Zhao Feng and Li Qingzhao. Kneel at the hatch. Whispered, "Found it." The Bohai people have found it. Nagatoden. What now? ”

Zhao Xing slapped the table. There was a thud in the cabin. Later. Zhao Xing stabilized his emotions. Said slowly: "My interests of the Great Song." Win in chaos. We cannot admit the existence of the Bohai Sea. Because the Bohai State has existed for a long time. It is not in the long-term interests of my Great Song Dynasty. However. Again, it must exist.

It's up to you to manipulate it. I can't see them. But you may use my name. Support them and manipulate them to establish a state in Suzhou.

We don't need them to be strong. Because of the opinion to the ground; Nor do we want the establishment of the Bohai State to weaken the Jurchens too much. Because we still count on them to fight to the death with the Liao. On this land. The Great War of the Four Kingdoms of Liao, Jurchen, Balhae, and Goryeo. It is most in the interests of my Great Song. That's how you do it. ”

Yuan Yeping bowed: "Obey orders!" ”

Pause. Yuan Yeping looked at Zhao Feng again. looked at Zhao Xing again. Asked: "The Emperor of Goryeo is still asking about the marriage." Nagatoden. How do I reply? ”

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered the scene of the Three Kingdoms era and Sun Quan's proposal to Guan Yu. He replied with a smile: "Tiger Girl Anken with Pig Dog!" ”

Yuan Yeping did not hesitate. Immediately change the subject. Continued debriefing: "Mood swings on the part of businessmen. They claimed. The land on the west bank of the Yalu River is not worth a few dollars. Just sell these lands to them. Not enough to compensate them for their contributions...... Several of the leaders are operating in private. Shouting for the captain to compensate. ”

Zhao Xing smiled: "This group of people is stupid." Although this land is frozen and snowy for half a year. The product is not abundant. But it didn't take much effort to run it - now the Koreans are crying and shouting to be slaves to my Song people. I hope to mix up for ten years under the Heavenly Holy Order. Being able to become a Song person - my national nationality of the Great Song Dynasty is now very popular in the whole Nanyang.

You might as well secretly reveal my method of running Tamna Island to the Song merchants. Implying to them, the farms on Tamna Island did not send anyone to supervise them at all. And I haven't taken care of it for several years. However. Casually send someone over to check the Liren to do the accounts very seriously. Not even a copper plate will be missing for a few years - this is the Korean people. They were deferential in front of Da Song.

If a merchant buys a plot of land in the West Bank. Build a farmstead. It doesn't cost a few bucks. Recruit a group of Goryeo slaves to come and farm. It didn't take much effort to maintain that farmstead. However. With the help of this farmstead. However, they could buy a steady stream of ginseng, mink, cattle and horses and other local products from Liaodong.

Other than that. There is also a large iron mountain on the west bank. This iron mountain is not far from the sea. As long as there is a Great Song Farm north of Iron Mountain. This iron mountain is safe. The iron ore energy that is convenient for sea transportation is continuously transported to Dengzhou. Shipped to the Central Plains. That's a good way to make money. You secretly reveal it to them. The right to mine the Iron Mountain. The imperial court is ready to be sold to the public. But only by the south of the Yalu River. The owner of the farm, who established the farm on the west bank of the Bohai Sea, became a shareholder. ”

Yuan Yeping agreed. He continued to report: "The commander and supervisor left the army yesterday. is taking refuge in the Yalu River. Intended to meet the new army. There are rumors in the army. The Shuai Jian Division opened a hole in the east of Changbai Mountain. Let the Jurchen 10,000 gold soldiers withdraw to the country. ”

"It doesn't matter. An excessively weakened Jurchen may not be a good thing for my Great Song. The Shuai Jian Division has done a good job. Keep the message tightly sealed. Prevent the imperial court from knowing. ”

"Jurchen aspect. Many tribes have sought peace talks with us through the Koreans. But Lord Shuai detained all those messengers. Don't talk to them...... The Jurchens who invaded Goryeo have been assembled. They took with them more than 50,000 captives and mountains of grain. Stop at Saikyo Road. Worried about our gunboats. Hesitated to cross the river. Shuai Daren defends all the way. Although frequent attacks. There doesn't seem to be enough troops. ”

"The frightened Jurchens are just a flock of sheep. They are always waiting for the opportunity to surrender. You send a message to Shuai Fan. Tell him. Be a little bolder. Move a little faster. Now it's time to thaw. 1. Thaw. The Jurchen cavalry let go of their feet. They will rely on the large number of people. Strike around. Look for the cracks in the battlefield. Don't let the Jurchens find a chance. ”

"On the side of our army. According to the Nestorian priest who accompanied him. The soldier's mood became more and more irritable. Many soldiers were already impatient to reason with the Koreans and the Bohai people. If you don't agree with each other, you will draw a knife against each other. Other than that. Brawls in the military are also frequent. ”

Zhao Xing said a few words with the ** generation. Yuan Yeping reported to the end. Salute and leave. Li Qingzhao's eyes widened. He muttered, "Looks like I'm worried in vain." Da Weng was prepared. ”

Zhao Feng said slowly: "My father has won a hundred battles. Invincible. and it is not a waste of fame? ”

Li Qingzhao's eyes rolled. Immediately came to Zhao Xing's side. While coquettish, he said, "Big man." It's freezing on this day. The soldiers are in danger. Why do you have to let Zhao Feng go into battle. He has now sent his soldiers. It's time for that. ”

Zhao Xing replied: "Feng'er is also a seven-rank military attache in the favor of the imperial court. In the future, he will be a civil and a martial artist. It's still between the two. I'm going to take a turn. See death and bloodshed with your own eyes. Then make a decision. ”

Li Qingzhao's character has never lacked heroic elements. She was not against war. But for Zhao Feng, he is young. Take an army on a journey into battle. Faced with a beast and a fierce birthplace of Jurchen. I can't help but be a little worried. But I heard Zhao Xing say this. She was immediately half-hinting. Half-relieved, he said, "I believe in the great man." According to the temper of the big man. Make sure everything is in order. It's to stand up. He said, "It's time for me to go!" ”

Li Qingzhao pulled Zhao Fengdi's sleeve and walked out of the cabin. Reluctantly goodbye. Inside the cabin. Zhao Xing pondered alone for a while. Ordered: "After the troop carrier lifts anchor." We turned to Dengzhou. It's time to go back. It's time for us to go home. ”

End of February. A group of fishermen calling themselves "Bohai people" have risen in an unknown village near Suzhou (present-day Dalian). Declared reinstated. No one paid attention to this weak army at that time. But soon. Rumors abounded on the boundary of the Hosu Pavilion. Many of the original Bohai people were privately tandem. After the beginning of spring. The inexplicable "Bohai ** team" easily captured Suzhou. Then it was announced that the new Bohai State would be the capital of Suzhou.

Forthwith. A storm blew on the boundary of the Hosu Pavilion. Neighboring counties inexplicably fell one after another. In a blink of an eye. The Jurchens of the Hosu Pavilion lost their port near the sea. And the power of the so-called "Bohai State" expanded rapidly. It miraculously only took a month and a half for the East Gorge of the Liaodong Peninsula to become the land of the entire Bohai Kingdom.

The first thing the newly formed Bohai State did was to send people to the Liao State to seek recognition...... (To be continued.) If you want to know what will happen next. Please log in. More chapters. Support the author. In the tank
