"Your Majesty, after these people return to Dongying, will they tell the Dongying Imperial Court the news that we are trying to attack Dongying, and at that time, the Dongying people will be prepared, wouldn't it be bad?" After these more than ten Dongying people left, Wang Shu said. $100*degree*search**small*say*net*look*most*new*chapter*section******

Just now, Zhao Chen summoned these Dongying people, and Wang Shu also stayed aside.

"What if the people of Dongying are prepared? The current Dongying is scattered, and there are few lords in various places who obey the emperor's orders, and even the emperor himself is under the control of the ministers! After these people return to Dongying, there will be more or less some Dongying lords who will join us! Or maybe we haven't traveled to Dongying yet, and Dongying itself is already in chaos! Zhao Chen said with a disdainful smile on his face.

Historically, it was not until the fourteenth or fifteenth century that Dongying established a truly centralized rule! Before that, it was the Warring States period of Dongying, and now it is a chaotic period that is even earlier than the Warring States period! The battle between the old aristocracy and the new samurai class is extremely fierce, and if history does not change, the first shogunate composed of a samurai group will appear in Toei fifty years later!

It is precisely because of the chaos of the Dongying country that from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were rampant! Most of them were nobles or samurai who had been defeated in the Japanese Civil War and were forced to wander overseas.

"Your Majesty is right!" Wang Shu pondered for a moment and said.

"Our Great Song Dynasty military strength is unparalleled, even if there is no chaos in Dongying, they are definitely not our opponents! Now it's just a matter of laying out ahead! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Goryeo that Wang Gui and General Wu Gong have gone overseas, and they have discovered two large islands in the north of Dongying, and Wang Gui has suggested establishing a new province in Beihai! They say that these two large islands are extremely large, and the two large islands and the surrounding islands together are already another Goryeo! Wang Shu said.

"Whether or not to establish a province needs to be carefully examined! Moreover, even if new territories are discovered now, it is difficult for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to really occupy those places if they are limited in number. Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, our population is still too small! But in twenty years' time, our population will at least double, if not more, and at that point, we can encourage people to migrate farther afield. Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.

Now that the imperial court has implemented a policy of encouraging childbirth, there is no problem in doubling the population within twenty years! In the modern society of later generations, the Chinese population was only 400 million at the time of liberation, but by the eighties, the Chinese population had increased to one billion, and it was a long and difficult period! Now, as long as the policy is correct, the population may even reach 300 million in 20 years! At this time, the entire world population is only more than 500 million! Only with more population can we rule over more land, with the Central Plains as the core, and radiate Chinese civilization to all directions!

"Your Majesty, last year, a large number of Mongols went south to loot property, and now it is early autumn, and when it is winter, they are going south again, and the military department is preparing to hold relevant meetings, Your Majesty, do you want to attend?" Wang Shu said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen was silent for a moment and nodded.

In the blink of an eye, it's September, and the mountains around Yanjing City have turned golden!

Outside Juyong Pass, there is an endless grassland.

The grass of the grassland has also turned yellow, and at this moment a team of hundreds of people is galloping on the grassland.

The horses galloped very fast, and they kept moving forward, and after walking for a long time, a herd of wild deer appeared in front of them, and a young man in the lead laughed, and he bent his bow and arrows, and soon the arrows flew out, and a wild deer fell to the ground.

The cavalry headed forward, and some soldiers packed up the wild deer, and the speed of the rest of the team gradually slowed down.

"Husband, it's been ten days since we left Yanjing City, these ten days, Yanjing City doesn't know how many things will happen, all the political affairs of the world have been sent to Yanjing, don't you go to deal with political affairs?" A stunning woman dressed in white said.

"Leave the matter to the Government Council! I want to take a look, I'm not in Yanjing City, whether the Government Council can operate normally! The youth said.

"If everything is really in order, doesn't it mean that the country no longer needs a king? With the Council, Congress, and Supreme Court, what does the state want the king to do? The woman in white thought for a while and said.

"In the future, the country may really not need me as a king, and there will be no need for other kings!" The young man said lightly.

This young man is Zhao Chen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the woman in white next to him is Song Qingyao.

"The state does not need a king? What will you do in the future, husband? Song Qingyao was surprised.

"There are still many imperfections in the state system, and it is still impossible for me to completely leave the imperial court in a short period of time! I will continue to improve the national system! I'm going to do this for the next 10 years or more! Zhao Chen said.

"Will our children be emperors in the future?" Song Qingyao said.

"Naturally, he is still the emperor! It's just that in the future, the emperor will no longer have to deal with state affairs, but as a symbol of the country! Our children are still emperors, princes, they still enjoy the highest glory, they are still the rulers of the country in name! When I was in Jiangnan, I once said that I would completely eliminate the law of the world of 'the suffering of the people of the rise and fall', so that the world would no longer experience the suffering of the change of dynasties, and I would gradually achieve this step! From now on, the king is only a vacant position, and the world will not experience a change of dynasty! Zhao Chen said.

"The world no longer experiences a change of dynasties!" At this moment, Song Qingyao couldn't help but ponder.

"Let's go! This time I'm going to be out for half a month, and we can play a few more days! A-Yao, it's so much better to be with you and hunt in the endless grasslands than to stay in the palace all the time! Zhao Chen laughed and walked forward again!

In November of the 10th year of Xuanwu, when the snow was falling, the National Assembly finally officially passed the bill for the election of members.

This electoral bill stipulates that all men over the age of 18 have the right to vote and to stand for election! It's just that the election bill will also be implemented gradually! From the tenth year of Xuanwu to the twentieth year of Xuanwu, only men who have entered the academy or have been in the army and the production and construction corps have the relevant rights.

Zhao Chen originally wanted to join the relevant rights of women, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't do it.

This is an era of preference for sons over women, and if women's rights are forcibly added now, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar in the world and will be extremely detrimental to the implementation of the legal system.

It was snowing heavily, and in the imperial study, Wang Shu and Qu Duan came here.

"Your Majesty, this year we have established an extremely long defensive line north of Shangjing, and last month came news that there were already Mongols ready to move, and this time it seems that the entire Tatar Department is going south to plunder us." Wang Shu said.

"How does the military department respond?" Zhao Chen said.

"The military department has ordered 100,000 people under Liu Qi's department to go north to Shangjing and cooperate with Li Xianzhong's department to resist the Mongols! In addition, Datong Han Shizhong's headquarters has also gone north into the former Western Xia where the Keyi Gate is located, if the conditions are ripe, Han Shizhong can directly lead his troops from the Keyi Gate into the Mongolian steppe! Qu Duan said.

"When are you going to completely eliminate the scourge of the Mongolian steppe?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the population of the Mongolian steppe exceeds one million, and almost all of their men are warriors, and their women can also fight immediately, which means that there are probably hundreds of thousands of people who will resist us at that time! The battle of the steppe is almost another Jurchen battle, and we have to use several military regions and countless logistical reserves, so the military department is still thinking about it. Qu Duan said.

"Mongolia is a border trouble of the Great Song Dynasty, and we can't help but get rid of it!" Zhao Chen said.

"Within five years, we will definitely send troops to Mongolia! At present, the rest of the ministers of the Council are not in favor of sending troops. Qu Duan smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, although Northern Mongolia is a border trouble, its influence is limited, and at most they are only invading the area around Shangjing! And if we use a large number of troops against Mongolia now, it will have a great impact on the economic development of the whole country, so we are ready to postpone it for a while! But as Master Qu just said, we will definitely use troops against Mongolia within five years at the latest! Wang Shu said.

"Excellent! After the Jurchen, our Great Song Dynasty restored the country with martial arts, so we must not forget this martial character! The Great Song Dynasty can no longer be as heavy on literature and light on military force as before, and if someone dares to violate my Great Song Dynasty, although it is far away, it will be punished! Zhao Chen said.

"Wechen and others understand! Your Majesty, there is one more thing, Wu Gong led two thousand soldiers and horses into the Beihai expedition, and there has been no news until now, and the Goryeo side has lost the news of Wu Gong. Wang Shu said.

"Keep an eye on this." Zhao Chen said slowly.

He had already received a report from Wang Gui before, and knew that Wang Gui and Wu Gong had finally entered the Siberian area! It's already November, and Siberia must be extremely cold, and he really doesn't know if Wu Gong can survive there!

Further east in Siberia is the Bering Strait, through which is the North American continent of Alaska.

For a while, Zhao Chen's gaze seemed to pass through the layers of palaces and see the distant North American continent......
