Su Zhe has always believed in Buddhism, and after retiring, he did not ask about the world, refused guests, sat silently all day long, and studied Buddhist scriptures.

When Su Shi arrived at the old man's fast by the Luoyang River, it was just after the Shen time, which was the time when the old man was participating in Zen. So Su Shi entered the old man's house and walked directly to the Buddhist hall in the backyard.

The Buddha hall is not big behind a forest, the building is very simple, and the surroundings are quite clean. Su Shi walked to the door of the Buddha hall, knocked on the door, and heard a hoarse and deep voice from inside: "Come in." ”

Su Shi pushed open the door and walked into the Buddhist hall.

I saw a statue of Buddha enshrined in the Buddha hall. In front of the Buddhist shrine, a gray-haired old man sat cross-legged on a futon, with his back to Su Shi. Needless to say, it is Su Shi's good father, Su Zhe.

"My lord, the child Su Shi came to say goodbye." Su Shi respectfully bowed.

Hearing the voice of his baby son, Su Zhe turned around, revealing a kind old face.

"Shi'er, sit down." Su Zhe smiled, "Let's talk about Buddhism with my father." ”

Of course, the Buddha is reasonable, but if it is not reasonable, how can it be widely spread in the Central Plains?

Buddhism is not comparable to Western learning, after all, Western learning in later generations only gradually grew larger in the East when the power of the Central Plains was weakened, and it swept away science and became prominent in the past few decades. Buddhism, on the other hand, was introduced in the Han Dynasty and lasted through the two Jin and Northern Dynasties until the Tang and Song dynasties.

Moreover, the spread of Buddhism has nothing to do with the national strength of India.

This shows that Buddhism does have its reasons, and Confucianism in Middle-earth does have its shortcomings.

Now the deficiencies of Confucianism have been basically made up by the "Heavenly Doctrine" - philosophically it is made up, but there is still a process of making up stories. For example, how to construct the heaven and hell of the Tenrikyo religion, and how to give a certain humanity to the concept of "tenrio". It all had to be fabricated by the latecomers of the Hexi Tianli Sect and the Great Zhou Doctor Group......

And the great Confucianism of Su Zhe's level, of course, will not be confused by the saying that he will go to the west and go to hell.

What fascinated him was the Buddhist theory of emptiness. Emptiness against heaven is indeed-for-tat.

However, Su Shi didn't have the heart to talk to his father about Buddhism today.

He sat down cross-legged in front of his father, "My lord, the child is going on a long journey. ”

"On a long business trip? Going to Lukang? Su Zhe frowned, "Is there a stir on Taiwan Island again?" ”

There are some primitive tribes on the island of Taiwan, and most of the time they will live in peace with the Han people on the island, but sometimes they will fight.

Of course, you can't beat the Han people, and the people who go to the island are not good people. They are all pirate gangs in Fujian (they are also maritime merchants), and it is inconvenient for them to set up a stronghold along the coast of Fujian, so they simply built a port fortress on the island of Taiwan, which legally belongs to each family, and settled down for a long time.

By the way, the legendary miasma did not cause much damage to these pirates.

Because it is now the Xiaoice River period, it often snows on the island of Taiwan in winter, and there are no mosquitoes at all, so it will naturally not spread dysentery. Moreover, when the coastal city shipping and construction department led by Wu Haogu developed Taiwan in the early years, it adopted the method of going to the island for construction in autumn and retreating to Penghu for construction in spring. The harm of miasma is avoided to the greatest extent.

This method was also followed by later generations, who only started work for six or seven months a year, and then settled in a long-term period after a relatively clean area had been developed.

Although dysentery is still unavoidable, it is still under control.

And as more and more areas controlled by the Han people on the island, the conflict between the Fan and Han people was inevitable.

Su Shi, the "state lord", often goes to the island to be a peacemaker.

"It's not going to Taiwan," Su Shi said with a wry smile, "It's going to Jiaozhi." ”

"Going to Cochin?" Su Zhe was stunned, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Go and investigate the crime of disobedience of the king of Jiaozhi."

"The king of Jiaozhi is not a minister?" Su Zhe frowned, "Then you still need to check?" Who came up with this? Is there another traitor in the DPRK who wants to provoke the border? Wait for the old man to play and impeach him! ”

"My lord, it's the eldest brother who wants to provoke this time...... You still don't want to impeach him, he is also for the sake of the country. ”

"What? Big brother? Su Chi? Su Zhe's beard was blown, "He, why did he provoke each other?" It's only been a few days since it was peaceful, and there is another war to fight, and it has been thousands of miles away to send troops, what are you trying to do? ”

"Isn't it called the ticket student of the Martial Arts Palace, and the Zhou State and Hexi families are making trouble?"

Su Shidao: "Now the imperial court is in a dilemma, now the reform of the government and soldiers has failed, and the forbidden armies in Hebei and Hedong have collapsed in the war with Liao. Because of the reform of the military system in the western army, it can only maintain the strength of six generals for a long time, plus the four generals of Shuofang and the four generals of Kaifeng, and there are only fourteen generals left in the imperial court. Even if it was full, it was only 70,000 soldiers...... And in order to firmly control these 70,000 soldiers, the imperial court can only grit its teeth and run a martial arts palace.

However, the martial arts have knowledge and trouble, and they think they are more capable than the heroes who are famous outside the Donghua Gate, so there are more dissatisfaction and complaints. So the eldest brother thought of such a way to find some opportunities for them to make contributions, so as to save them from being dissatisfied and dissatisfied. ”

This is really not afraid that the military attache will fight, but I am afraid that the military attache is educated!

Military attachés with little culture are always easier to manipulate, but from Murong Wangwu to the beginning of the Military Academy Division, the military academy has been running for more than ten years, not only is the level getting higher and higher, but also has indeed cultivated a group of generals who can really fight well.

Although this group of new-style officers with both civil and military skills was difficult to control, the imperial court did not rely on them, and was afraid that even the last 70,000 soldiers would collapse.

At that time, it will not be to resist Zhou, Liao, and Hexi, but I am afraid that if the imperial court wants to run away, no one will be able to protect it.

Su Zhe sighed, "There are no generals in the world, but they can be peaceful, elite soldiers are born, and troubled times are coming!" The old man is old, and he can always end up peaceful, you brothers, I'm afraid you will watch the troubled times come.

Shi'er, you still don't go to Jiaozhi...... Jiaozhi people are violent, if you let Jiaozhi people hurt you, do you want me to cry sadly with white-haired people? ”

"Don't worry, the child has already made arrangements." Su Shi said, "The child mobilized 12 warships and 3,000 sailors, and also moved to Shanghai, asking Ji Yi to also send 12 warships and 3,000 sailors." ”

24 galleys, 6,000 heavily armed sailors...... Is this to investigate, or to invade? Don't check it, check it, and check it!

Su Zhe frowned, "Are you going to war?" ”

"It's not a war......," Su Shi shook his head, "It's just to consolidate our concession in Jiaozhi Guoanbangkou." ”

An Bangkou is the Halong Bay of the future! The scenery is stunning, and it's a very easy haven to guard.

In last year's "Tribute Grain Incident", it was forcibly occupied by the fleet led by Mi Youren and Ji Yi.

This is a base for trading with the rice-rich country of Cochin! What is the value, I don't endorse it.

So both families occupied a peninsula at Ampangkou, built forts, and left a few warships.

Su Shi looked at the heat in his eyes, and he also wanted to intervene - Fujian was a major grain importer in this era, and it had to import grain from Jiangnan and Guangdong every year.

If you can extort a little bit from Jiaozhi country, even if it is only 100,000 stone Jiaozhi rice, you will have an income of more than 200,000 yuan if you get Fujian to throw it!

With this income, the warship fleet of Taiwan State will have a year's expenses.

……

Just when Su Shi took the fleet to investigate whether the king of Jiaozhi County was not a minister. The "Begging Zhao Baozhong" made by Hexi Tianli Zizhangli, as well as Zhao Baozhong's "Begging and Punishment Zhangli Prohibiting Tianli Teachings" were also sent to Kaifeng.

Zhao Baozhong is the lord of the Qingtang Dynasty who "became the king after a long defeat".

Western Xia has now become the Tianzhu Zhao dynasty, but Zhao Baozhong and the Renduo family did not follow. They are still living leisurely in the area of Qingtang City. Send some Qingtang dragon horses to Kaifeng Mansion every year, and everything will be fine.

For the Great Sect that occupied the hometown of Xixia Hexi, Zhao Baozhong was of course resistant from the bottom of his heart. He's a Buddhist! In the later years of Zhang Yuan's reign, the Tianli Sect in Hexi began to dominate, crowding out Buddhism, Taoism, and other religions. Although it is not explicitly prohibited, it continues to forcibly seize temples, estates, and populations from the hands of various religions. He also constantly sent people to persuade Zhao Baozhong to abandon Buddhism and enter the principles of heaven.

Of course, Zhao Baozhong sternly refused, and also ordered the arrest and death of several teachers of the Tianli Sect.

At that time, Zhang Yuan was seriously ill, so naturally there was no way to send troops. But after Zhang Yuan's death, the Hexi Tianli Sect ushered in a fierce lord!

After dealing with his brothers, he ordered to prepare for war, and gathered 10,000 knights, 3,000 cavalry of the yellow-headed Uighurs and grass-headed Tatar tribes, and 2,000 cavalry of the Wanggu tribe, ready to crusade against the Qingtang.

Zhao Baozhong, who got the news, gathered the soldiers and horses of the Ren family; On the one hand, he asked for help from the nearby Tubo Achaibu and Tusi Mabu. At the same time, he also played to the court, accusing Zhang Li of all kinds of illegal ......

The important ministers of the two governments who got three bullet seals gathered in the capital hall of the East Mansion today, and discussed with a sad face - this is the meeting of the two governments, and after the discussion, Cai Jing, the left minister, and Su Chi, the secretary of the Privy Council, will report to Zhao Ji together.

"It's too unusual...... Killing brothers, killing brothers, killing nephews, such a ferocity! How can it not be punished severely? In my opinion, there is no need to send troops to attack Jiaozhi. Let's send troops to attack Hexi! ”

The first to speak was Yu Shen, a scholar in the middle school. He and Zhang Yuan are Jinshi in the same department, and the two have always had a good personal relationship. Regarding Zhang Yuan's behavior in Hexi, he also wrote a letter to persuade him. However, Zhang Yuan can also go up and down, and the foundation of Hexi is not easy to abandon.

Now that he saw that the Zhang family had a rebel son, killing his brother and killing his nephew, it was like killing a god and reincarnating, so he naturally couldn't stand it, so he put forward a proposal to crusade.

"Yuan Zhong, whether you can crusade against Hexi depends on the meaning of the Shaanxi Army and the Shuofang Army!" Su Chi shook his head and said, "Among the 14 generals in the new army of the imperial court, Shaanxi and Shuofang account for 10 generals. The Shaanxi Army, the Shuofang Army and the Hexi Army have always had a relationship...... Many Hexi knights are from the Shaanxi Army. They may not be willing to crusade against Hexi! Moreover, most of the armies of Shaanxi and Shuofang are now deployed in Hedong and Hebei, so how can they return to the division in a hurry? ”
