Of course Han Zhongyan is.

After receiving Zhao Xing's letter to inquire about the situation. He immediately brazenly requisitioned 3,000 Mizhou Pear Flower Army. Transferred to Hangzhou for training. Then he stretched out his hand and asked Zhao Xing for a hundred warships. 10,000 new muskets. Three hundred cannons. By the way, I asked for a few generals trained by Zhao Xing's subordinates. planned to let those generals help him form the Beiyang army.

The so-called "Mizhou Pear Flower Army" is the firearms unit created by Zhao Xing. Most of this firearms unit was transferred to the capital by the emperor. Ever since they performed the pear blossom firearms to the emperor in the capital. Every year, the performance of this firearms army has become a reserved item of the Great Song Dynasty celebration.

As Zhao Xing began to name the army he had trained after his favorite name. The new regimental training envoy of Mizhou also boldly called Mizhou, the "trump card armed actor", the "Pear Flower Army".

Han Zhongyan has a good relationship with Jiangmen. He is also a member of the Great Song Horse Party. After seeing the power of the Suzaku Army. He didn't look down on the armed performance of the Ewha Army at all. This time Zhao Xingyi spoke. He sent the entire Pear Flower Army to Hangzhou. Tian shamelessly asked Zhao Xing to change his clothes.

Han Zhongyan's request. made Zhao Xing embarrassed.

"Han Xianggong really doesn't know how to be ashamed. His Beiyang army also needs our Nanyang armament. It doesn't make sense." Zhao Xing looked at Han Zhongyan's report. Said disapprovingly. At this time. He has returned to the Yamen of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau in Hangzhou.

Wan Qiyong replied resolutely: "Refuse him!" Captain. I'm in the Nanyang Affairs Bureau again. Anyone can take advantage of it. It doesn't make sense for us to even support the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. 10,000 guns. Hundreds of artillery pieces. Worth hundreds of millions. How to do this battle? ”

Wan Qiyong knew Zhao Xing's temper. What he never forgot was to teach a profound lesson to the powerful enemies in the north. and even destroyed the two northern powers. For this purpose. As long as there is a possibility of investment. He'll take the plunge. Han Zhongyan only had to say that he planned to use these guns and ammunition for the Northern Expedition. Maybe Zhao Xing will agree to the other party's unreasonable request.

The Goryeo envoy Park In-gwang sat down and lamented: "Leave people. We're friends. For the sake of friends. Pull me - Han Xianggong wants to change the army. I've heard that you have an army under your command. Dress up for at least one year. And your navy trained for six full years before it attacked. Leave the brother. Wait for Lord Han Zhongyan to finish changing. I don't exist anymore. For the sake of friends, please. Please send troops......

Well. In the past, there was a Qin court crying in China. It took seven days and seven nights for the King of Qin to agree to send troops. Leave people. If you need to. I'm starting to cry right now. I'm going to cry for seven days and seven nights. ”

The so-called seven days and seven nights of crying. Can't be taken seriously. Because ancient Chinese numbers have the analogy of imaginary fingers. That's just a lot of money. Day. When Qin Ting cried. It was the state of Chu that cried. Wu Zixu and Sun Wu destroyed Chu. His friend Minister Chu went to the state of Qin to ask the king of Qin to send troops to save the state of Chu. King Qin was touched by him. A poem was recited: "How can you say that you have no clothes?" ...... with the Son". Send troops with the country. forced Sun Wu and Wu Zixu to retreat. The state of Chu was restored. Park In-kwang quotes this allusion here. Asked Zhao Xing to send troops to save the Great Song Dynasty and firmly ally the Goryeo Kingdom.

Strategically. A stable Goryeo is a necessity for China to be strong – this is not a doctrine. Rather, it is a scientific reality proven by thousands of years of history. Doctrinal theories can still be argued. It has been proven by history that there is no dispute, and the necessary place has always been the nightmare of the Central Plains people. Start with Wuhu deforestation. Every time the Central Plains China dies. Its birthplace is the Tohoku region. And the starting point of Wuhu deforestation. The Xianbei tribe was to subdue Goguryeo at that time. Since then, there is no need to look back. Only then did they begin to invade the Central Plains on a large scale.

Historically really. The Jurchens also subdued Goryeo. The Mongols too. And then the Manchus and the Japanese did the same. Their march into the Central Plains began on the Korean Peninsula. And to break this nightmare cycle. You have to think of that peninsula as your backyard. Assimilate their people. Let it be completely subordinated to the culture of the Central Plains.

Stabilize North Korea. It is also related to the stability of Zhao Xing's homeland. Park Yinguang had not yet arrived in Hangzhou. Zhao Xing was already planning how to send money to his life. Fight a proxy war. So Wan Qiyong's opposition didn't care. He was thinking only about how to get the most out of this war.

"It's not profitable, it's too early!" Zhao Xing looked at Park Yinguang. Smiled innocently :. How much is the equipment that Han Xianggong asked for? These weapons alone are worth 100 million yuan. Use these weapons to fight a battle. How much does it cost? Your taxes in Goryeo are not enough for a year. ”

Don't wait for Park In-kwang to answer. Zhao Xing immediately said: "Even so. But you just said that. We're friends. Dae Song and Goryeo were friends. As a friend. I am willing to share the disaster with my friends. But even if we bear half of the military expenses. Your taxes in Korea are still not enough to pay for this war. Maybe it's hurtful to say that. But from the point of view of a friend, I have to remind you of this. This is a very real problem. ”

Year 1103. There are two theories about the taxation of Goryeo. One theory claims that 11.3 million yuan was paid that year. Another theory is that the exchange rate of Song money in Goryeo was very high. The amount of money minted in Goryeo itself was only a few hundred thousand. Almost negligible. Therefore. Annual taxation in Goryeo. Converted into Song money. It should not exceed three million. It is equivalent to the tax amount of a state in Hangzhou.

Rely on such fiscal and tax revenues. I want to fight a high-tech war in the Song Dynasty. Goryeo can't afford to fight. Park Yinguang knew that Zhao Xing was telling the truth. He said gloomily: "The Heavenly Empire." He has always advocated the inner saint and the outer king. I, Goryeo, ask for troops in the Celestial Empire. How can you hit a wall everywhere. I pleaded everywhere in the capital. I prayed for more than ten days. Originally, I thought that I couldn't afford to delay. So I went straight to my friend. Leave people. Be gentlemanly. Reach out to help a group of Goryeo - the gentleman does not say anything. Zhao Xing replied with a smile: "A gentleman does not speak for profit." That's what fraudsters use to fool people. A gentleman is not synonymous with being stupid and having a lot of money. It's not a fool who pays for others when they coax it. My Great Song Dynasty is a commercial country. Any input must be output-oriented. What can Goryeo have?

Goryeo is a friend of my Great Song Dynasty. Not a subject country. Tributary. We are obliged to send troops free of charge. But AIA. Friendly and equal country. We are not obligated to send troops for free - I am already willing to pay half of the military expenses. What else does Goryeo want me to do? ”

Park Yinguang was anxious: "If the Great Song is willing to send troops to save our country." I, Goryeo, would like to be a vassal. ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "This is a bit of a danger." Ungentlemanly manners. I'm going to do it. The people of Goryeo will scold me to death. ”

Park In-kwang got up from his seat. Get on your knees. Shouted, "Your Excellency." Don't you think that I don't have the Qin Ting Pillar Warrior in Goryeo? ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "You have to hit the pillar." You just don't know me. For me. It is useless to force each other to die. What does the death of others have to do with me? Die to force me to agree to your unreasonable demands...... We're friends. I advise you not to go this far. ”

"What do you want?" Park In-gwang sat on the ground. Stared at Zhao Yong with wide eyes and shook his head slightly. Shuai Fan jumped and tried. Shi Cheng, the only one among the disciples of the sect who did not go to the South Seas, looked at Zhao Feng. Frequently instigated by gaze. And Park Yinguang's expression was desperate: it was Tamna Island that got his hands on it. I know adults have coveted that island for years. My country gives you this small island. How is it? ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Tamna Island is already mine." No one can take it away...... But. Since you say so. You can ask the star lord of Tamna Island to donate his land to my Great Song Dynasty instead. Furthermore. You'll have to pay me a little bit for the military. Meaning. Well. Just a silver coin. ”

Park In-kwang originally thought there was no hope. I didn't expect a sharp turn. Zhao Xing only symbolically received a copper plate. is willing to send troops to help in the war. He was afraid that Zhao Xing would regret it. For fear that Wan Qiyong would block it. Hurriedly took out a gold coin from his arms. Ning Sai gave Zhao Xing: "Deal." Deal! Leave people. Will send more troops. The state of Goryeo was in danger. The sooner your soldiers arrive, the better. ”

Wan Qian sighed. Zhao Xing took the gold coin handed over by the other party. Untie the money bag from your waist. He poured the money from his money bag on the table with a clink in his hand. Very seriously rummaged through the money bag: "One." Two. …… Take it. This is my change for you. A total of nine silver coins. Right now. We've closed the deal. No

The transaction has been completed. Wan Qiyong no longer has scruples. He chattered, "Captain." But where do we move our troops from? The demon exterminators have already moved south in batches. The ghost army is being transferred to the palace. The strange army is to be stationed in Dali. The remnants of the Ping Demon Army and the Vermilion Bird Army are in a truce. We still have an army to fight. ”

"Expansion of the Suzaku Army". Zhao Xing immediately replied: "Fan Chun took three thousand, but he no longer uses the name Vermilion Bird Army. What's his bullshit name? ”

Shuai Fan has always wanted to speak. Get your chance at this point. Immediately said: "Qingsheng Army - Lord Fan used this army to capture Yanzhou last year. He named this army the Qingsheng Army. It is the meaning of the Gyeongju Victory Army. My lord. It's time to use Project Orange. ”

Zhao Xing signaled Shuai Fan with his eyes not to talk too much. He waved his hand and ordered Shi Cheng to go over and support Park Yinguang. And said kindly: "Pu Gong." We have decided to send troops. Please go down and settle in first. ”

Park Inguang got rid of Shi Cheng. shouted: "Saving soldiers is like fighting fire." I'm going to stand here. Watching the departure of troops with their own eyes...... Leave people. Just now, the handsome inspector said the orange plan. What's going on? ”

Shi Cheng was open-mouthed. While pulling Park In-kwang's sleeve. While casually saying, "It's a contingency plan." When the Captain went south. I once gave me and other students a project. The question is: Suppose that there is a change in the surrounding countries. How do we respond? There has been a change in the Liao State. We have a purple plan. Red Plan. Plan Orange. And Goryeo has changed...... Presently. The events in Goryeo fit in with the Orange Plan. ”

Park Yinguang stood steady. No one can pull it away. He glared at Shuai Fan. Look at Zhao Xing again. Half-gasped for the weather. He lowered his posture again. Asked: "That is." Troops with a contingency in the hands of others? ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "We have built a training ground in Honghu Mountain. There is always an army there that conducts real combat training. Now it's time to train them into an army - it's called the Winter Army. It fights in the cold winter. Coldly north. Let's hope it's like winter. Bring cold and shiver to the Jurchens. ”

Wan Qiyong sighed softly. Whispered, "My lord." I have a few questions: First, Goryeo belongs to the Northern Affairs Bureau. We are waiting for the Transnational Beiyang Affairs Bureau to fight. Han Zhongyan's request was not easy to refuse. Otherwise, the imperial court will not tolerate it.

The second is after our Cold Winter Army was transferred out of Honghu Mountain. In the future, Honghushan's training base will be exposed. The three armies of spring, summer and autumn in the mountains. The court knew that we were training the army privately. How do I reply?

The third is that we fight the Jurchens. What can be gained. Now only the Jurchens in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty sell horses to us. Hit the Jurchens. Can Goryeo fill the vacancy of our war horse? I'm afraid to fill it in.

It's a battle that doesn't outweigh the losses. Lord Taiwei took such a big risk to fight. Almost nothing was gained. And military spending is huge. How to repay this money. Could you please think twice?

But. Since the Lord has already decided. I have nothing to say. Xia Guan suggested. Please ask Lord Park In-kwang to immediately send a deputy envoy to the capital and the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. An envoy to the capital. Take the edict attached to the request of the king of Goryeo. There is also a seal for the cession of Tamna Island and the Great Song Dynasty. Kaijing has been besieged. The text can't be delivered. Please ask Lord Park In-kwang to come forward. First of all, I will finish writing these documents for the king of your country. Later, I will ask the king of your country to seal his seal.

The envoys who went to the Beiyang Affairs Bureau to help in the war. It is mainly based on the military affairs of Lord Han. And our Nanyang Affairs Bureau can only send a military observation team to accompany it.

These. It's all a coping method that the lower officials came up with. However, the cost of this battle was enormous. I'm afraid the court won't allow us to withhold taxes any more. For this war. ”

It is said that the wealth of a few people present. It is also enough to pay for this war out of pocket. However, they paid for the war themselves. This is treason. It doesn't matter who the object of the war is.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "I forgot." We also have a bunch of warmongers on our hands. They specialize in contracting war ...... Park-sama. Secured by customs duties in your country. Fight this war. I don't know if you're willing to do it? ”

Park In-kwang was confused by the new words in Zhao Xing's words. He asked in a hurry, "Customs." Contract war? What does it mean

Zhao Xing patiently explained: "It is to use the tariffs of your country's import and export goods as collateral. If your country agrees that in the future the import and export of goods will be covered by merchants. Half of the tax revenue goes to your country. While the other half is collected by the merchants themselves. Let's say charge for a hundred years. Then I can use your country's tax rights. Seek merchant funds for the purchase of arms. Help me in this war.

Of course. The arms were handed over to the Military Observer Mission. In order to ensure the security of the Military Observer Mission. I'm going to arm them. The soldiers who accompanied the Beiyang Affairs Bureau to the scene in Goryeo to observe the war. But if the Mission is attacked. They retain the power to strike later. Pak Dae. What do you think of this approach. How is it? ”

Park Yinguang asked cautiously: "Didn't Han Xianggong still want Lord Zhao to arm the Beiyang Affairs Bureau with arms." Do you have to bear this cost? If even this expense is covered. I'm afraid of the right to tax in our country. Even if it was sold for a hundred years. It's not enough. ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Han Zhongyan wants equipment." That's a matter for our country. It is a matter between the two yamen of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau and the Nanyang Affairs Bureau. It has nothing to do with your country. Your country will only need to be responsible for the equipment of my Military Observer Mission. ”

Park Yinguang nodded and agreed: "My lord." Now our country is in peril. Adults no matter what they want. I'll promise you. Please send troops quickly...... It's the Winter Army. The name is not good. Do you have a better name? ”

Seok Cheng has always stood by Park Inguang's side. He interjected with a grin: "Xuanwu." This army was originally called Xuanwu. It is opposite to Suzaku. It's just that my teacher doesn't like to let people know that the Nanyang Affairs Bureau has sent the main army. Park-sama. Since it is a military observer mission. It doesn't matter what the name is used to disguise it. Why be demanding

Park Yinguang glanced at Zhao Xing deeply. His feet moved. With Shi Cheng's tugging, he walked out the door. Wait out of the gate. He asked Shi Cheng cautiously: "General Xiaoshi." I will send an envoy to the capital and the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. Can you leave me alone with my attendants for a while? ”

Shi Cheng let go of his hand with a grin. Take a few steps away. Park In-kwang beckoned his companion. First of all, they added what they were going to do: "I'm afraid I'm going to drive the fire at the front door this time." Welcoming the wolf at the back door - Zhao Liren has long been peeping at Goryeo. He actually made a plan to send troops to Goryeo in advance. It's called Project Orange. This illustrates. He's been beating us up for a long time. ”

The entourage disagreed: "Kaijing is besieged. His Majesty can't sign a country. All the countries were written by Lord Park. As long as His Majesty does not admit it afterwards. What can he do to me? ”

Park Yinguang smiled coldly: "You idiot." You forgot that this lieutenant was nicknamed Zhao Laohu. People can't be provoked. I want to play tricks on him. It will only bring greater calamity to Goryeo. ”

Another attendant persuaded: "The Celestial Empire says that this Lord Zhao has good management methods. and all the counties and counties which he governs. Now they are rich in flowing oil. From this point of view. Leave the taxes to the lieutenant to manage. It's not a bad thing. According to the Captain. The merchants still have to pay us half of the tax. As long as the means of operation go up. Taxes can be doubled. I have nothing to lose in Goryeo. This means that we have recovered the original amount of trade tax.

Moreover. I just said that. This adult has a good way of doing business. The city that he governs. Taxes have more than doubled. So it seems. On the contrary, my income in Goryeo can go up. Why not? ”

Park In-kwang sighed: "I can only do this kind of thinking now." ”

Everything was arranged. Park Yinguang bowed his hand to Shi Cheng: "General Xiaoshi." Please take me to the guest house. ”

At this time. Zhao Xing was still discussing with Shuai Fan: "This time we can transfer fifty ships, and it is enough." It's winter. I'm afraid the Yalu River has frozen. Large warships are gone, and they are not needed. Small warships are enough for people to go. There is no need to bring the servants. Requisitioned the people of Goryeo on the spot. Remember. All the requisitioned men had to pay. We're here to help them get back into their country. We will also control their tariffs in the future. It is necessary to leave a good impression on the people of Goryeo. ”

As mentioned earlier. The Yalu River is not a border of Goryeo. But Project Orange mentions it after all. In case of an invasion of Goryeo. If the Great Song Kingdom wants to send troops. It is necessary to push the display to the Yalu River. to improve the strategic posture of Goryeo. And since that buffer zone was occupied by the Song army. It should be managed by the Song Army—the strategy of Project Orange.

Shuai Fan shook his head: "Three thousand people are not enough." We need at least three divisions. All the way straight to the Hosu Museum. Find Brother Gavin. Support the Jurchens of the Suguan Pavilion to get rid of the Black Water Jurchens. In order to subtract the must be guaranteed to complete the face of the bones. All the way to the Yalu River. cut off the back road of the Jurchens; We still need all the way. Soldiers are coming to open Beijing. Break the siege of the Jurchens. Help the Koreans defend the national capital.

That's it. Three thousand people are not enough. I need at least fifteen thousand. ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "I can't take out fifteen thousand people." But I can come up with a fleet. As long as the sea route is unblocked. We can take 3,000 people as 10,000 envoys—you go to Kaijing first. After breaking the blockade of the Jurchens. Stay in the Beiyang Affairs Bureau three Yalu River. copied the back road of the Jurchens. Then they were stationed on the spot.

As for the Jurchen of the Hosu Pavilion. Let Pu Yi'an transfer people from Tamna Island. As long as you hold the Yalu River. Winter is our best friend. We can freeze the Jurchens to death in the snow. How many elite soldiers can the Jurchens have. After this group of people is wiped out by you. The Jurchens had to have twenty years to recover. Our strategic objectives have also been achieved

There was a pause. Zhao Xing immediately explained to Wan Qianyong: "Hurry up and organize a company." Offering war bonds. Indicate that these bonds have a three-cent interest. Return of ...... after the war"

Zhao Xing explained in detail the issuance of public bonds. Then he sighed. Say, "Now." Just waited for Han Zhongyan's reply. ”

Han Zhongyan, who was lonely and unbearable, watched Zhao Xing fight one battle after another. The oil and water are enough. Can't wait, he will talk back quickly.

This time he lowered his posture. Only Zhao Xing was asked to support a thousand muskets. Five warships. is willing to be led by the Beiyang Affairs Bureau - but this guy is shameless enough. The five warships he sent to help in the war actually adopted the "wet lease method". That is, the person with the ship chartered to the Nanyang Affairs Bureau. And he only sent two or three hundred people who went over to grab the credit.

The officials of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau who came to report were embarrassed themselves. After he finished his request. Seeing Zhao Xing, he seemed to be smiling. immediately confessed honestly: "The Jurchens came quickly. There are a lot of people in Kaijing City. A relative of Lord Han was also around. Furthermore. Many officials of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau also had their families besieged in the city to fight and relieve the siege. Very good. Han Xianggong was willing to take on the name of war to the imperial court. (To be continued...) More chapters. Support the author. In the tank
