If Zhao Ji knew what the original history was like, he would definitely be grateful to Wu Haogu.

Because in the original history, he died tragically in the icy and snowy Five Nations Department when he was in his fifties. And the Great Song Dynasty also became the Southern Song Dynasty, and once called the Jin State a vassal. The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, also became a "minister" and a "complete face structure", and in order to survive, he really did everything.

And today's Zhao Ji is still the rich and honorable emperor!

And the two Song Dynasty, which were divided into two, each grew into a real world empire!

This era, which later historians called the "Post-Three Kingdoms", is definitely not a painful era, but an era that fascinates countless later generations.

This is because the three great Chinese countries that stand side by side have all done their best to become the victors of "three points into one" in the future, and they want to grab enough benefits in the great era of great geographical discoveries and great development of science and technology that occurred at the same time.

Only when we become bigger and stronger can we become the final winner.

If you can't become bigger and stronger, there will be only a dead end in the future!

It doesn't even have to wait too long for it to be destroyed by the two other rapidly developing world empires and become the first tragic country to come out.

And Zhao Ji's Western Song Dynasty, in the past 20 years, he really didn't dare to relax for a moment. Zhao Huan, the first emperor of the Western Song Dynasty, was even more exhausted, dreaming about strengthening the country and the army - if you don't want to, you can't do it! The Eastern Song Dynasty and the New Zhou Dynasty are all "open RMB players", not counting a new continent, but also have a wide range of trade routes, and the local area is particularly easy to develop industry and commerce, the financial income has risen vigorously, and the inflow of gold and silver water is the same.

But Zhao Huan was unwilling to perish, he was determined to be a hard-working poor bastard, and he has been working hard for more than 20 years, although he has not changed the poor and backward appearance of the Western Song Dynasty, but he has still expanded the land area a lot. Expanding westward to the Kipchak steppe and the Caspian Sea (through the vassal state of Xiliang), southward it has swallowed up most of the Bagan state, and even the capital Bagan City has been broken by Yue Fei, the first general of the Western Song Dynasty.

In the southwest, the entire snowy plateau is still under the rule of the Western Song Dynasty! The tribes and temple territories on the plateau were divided into thirteen ten thousand households, all of which had to be canonized by the Western Song court. In addition, the Western Song Dynasty court would also garrison troops in such critical places as Luoqi City and Pibo City.

In the north, the Western Song Dynasty firmly controlled the Black Mountain and Yin Mountain, sheltering the safety of the Hetao irrigation area. The Hetao irrigation area has become the home of tens of thousands of Western Song Dynasty military households.

The military system of supporting military households with granges has so far been well maintained – albeit at the cost of constant external expansion and extreme restraint on private industry and commerce......

And Zhao Huan's exhaustion is not without a price, the price is that he has become ill from hard work, and now he is seriously ill and lying in the Huaqing Palace in Chang'an. So now he can only send the third son of the emperor, Liang Wang Zhao Xun, to take care of his critically ill father in the Qionglin Palace of Chengdu Mansion on his behalf.

Now Zhao Xun is guarding in Zhao Ji's bedroom, looking like a filial son and grandson.

Zhao Ji snorted, and Zhao Xun immediately asked, "Grandpa Huang, what do you command?" ”

"Have the envoys of the third and eighth children arrived?" Zhao Ji asked weakly, "It should be my grandson who came, right?" Alas, what a family, now the world is separated, and I can't see it......"

The third is Zhao Kai, the emperor of the Eastern Song Dynasty, who is still staying in Jiangning Mansion. The eighth is Zhao Yan, the king of Jiaozhi, who is currently in Thang Long Mansion. It is impossible for either of them to go to Chengdu to send Zhao Ji to the end.

Now that Zhao Ji is still alive, the sons who have not become the kings of a country have all arrived in Chengdu Mansion and are ready to send their sons to the end.

And the three sons who became kings couldn't come to Chengdu, so they could only send their sons to represent them.

"Grandpa Yuhuang," Zhao Xun replied, "Zhao Jue is from Jiangning Mansion, and Zhao Jue is from Shenglong Mansion, both of whom are grandson's cousins. ”

Zhao Xun did not mention the titles of Zhao Jue and Zhao Jue, because Zhao Kai was a "puppet emperor", and although Zhao Yan once declared himself a vassal to Chang'an, he did not last long, and he broke off the relationship with Chang'an after receiving reinforcements from the Eastern Song Dynasty, so he also became a "puppet king".

The sons of the puppet emperor and the puppet king, of course, are all "pseudo", and Zhao Xun will not mention their titles.

Zhao Ji only exhaled lightly, "What's the trouble?" It's clear that it's a family, so why can't we work together......"

"Grandpa ......"

Zhao Ji raised his hand and shook it with difficulty, "Okay, let's not talk about it, let them come and meet!" I can't look at it, I'm afraid this is the last time! ”

Zhao Xun said with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa Huang, don't say that, you just occasionally contracted a cold, and you can recover after a good rest......"

As he spoke, Zhao Xun still walked out of the main hall and brought Zhao Jue and Zhao Jue, who were waiting outside, to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji took a look at his two grandsons, he didn't know them, they were the first time they met, and it was probably not the second time!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhao Ji felt a pang of colic in his heart, and tears came down, good emperor, when it comes to this point, there is no one since ancient times. It seems that behind him, he must be a faint king, and there is nothing to say when he sees Taizu and Taizong, just ask for sin......

In the twenty-eighth year of Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty, on October 11, Zhao Ji, the eighth emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, died in Chengdu Qionglin Palace, the temple name Song Daozong, and the name of Shengwen Rende Xianxiao Emperor.

……

"Daozong, Song Daozong...... Not bad either! ”

Wu Haogu had already received the news of Zhao Ji's death at this time, and the whole person seemed a little melancholy.

Zhao Ji is not his enemy, never has been. At the time of the Song and Zhou wars, he had already given up the position of head to his son.

His abdication did not mean that he wanted to avoid meeting Zhao Jibing.

"Father, the Dao Sect is indeed suitable." Wu Yijiu said to Wu Haogu.

Wu Yijiu is still a veteran, although he did not serve in the ruling government, but everyone knows that he is almost the head of the scene.

Unlike Wu Haogu, he was actually happy to see Zhao Ji's death. The reason is very simple, that is, because Zhao Ji has been acting as a peacemaker and communication bridge between the Eastern and Western Song Dynasty in the last ten years of his life, barely maintaining peace between the two Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Ji's death also means that the peace situation in the Central Plains for more than 20 years is about to end.

"It's much more suitable than Huizong," Wu Haogu muttered to himself, "Hui, good and beautiful." The Taoist is also the source of all things. Although his emperor is not very good, he has a strong heart to ask for the truth! The source of my new era in China, there is indeed a share of him, the Taoist temple, and the name is well deserved. ”

Huizong? Wu Yijiu was a little baffled, but he didn't ask. What is there to say to a 78-year-old fool?

"My lord, the source of Huaxia's current situation is you!" Wu Yijiu said, "Aren't the positivists, rationalists, rationalists, Tianli teachings, etc., all from your "Positivism" and "Tianli Theory"? Moreover, I am the government of the world in the Great Zhou, not a country with one family and one surname, and it is also incomparable to the world of the two Song families.

So looking to the future, what can make the three kingdoms unification must be my Great Zhou! ”

"Really?" Wu Haogu just smiled, but did not say anything.

"Of course!" Wu Yijiu said, "As soon as the Great Song Dynasty dies, there will be no buffer between the East and West Song Dynasty, and the two Song Dynasty soldiers are afraid that they will be in front of you." The two Song Dynasty fought each other, wasn't it my Da Zhou who benefited? ”

"Maybe." Wu Haogu smiled, still noncommittal.

In his opinion, it is not so easy for the three kingdoms to become one!

Because today's productive forces are still in the era of factory handicrafts! The development of the New World was also just beginning, and although there was a lot of gold and silver flowing into the Old World, it was not enough to complete the original accumulation of capital.

And the technological progress in the military has become slow. In the past two decades, there has been some progress in naval technology, and the army has almost stood still. On the eastern side, the armies of the three countries all played with field guns and heavy smoothbore guns and long spear formations, somewhat similar to the Spanish phalanx.

At the same time, the bastion tactics still worked. The advantage of defense is still huge, and the attacking side is always at a disadvantage.

Therefore, none of the three parties, which are evenly matched, want to go to war rashly.

And each of the three parties has the strength to defeat the other two in a defensive battle.

Of course, this balance of power will not be maintained forever. Because Wu Haogu knew that the era of the fortress of the Europeans did not last for many years.

Anyway, in the era when Emperor Napoleon was crisscrossing Europe, attack was the best defense!

The bastion has clearly been eliminated.

Wu Haogu just wanted to talk to his son about the defense of the fortress and the progress of technology, but he saw the fiery light flashing in Wu Yijiu's eyes.

Looks like he's not dead yet!

When the words came to his lips, Wu Haogu didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at his son.

The era of oneself is over! And he has changed history and opened a new era, a new era belonging to China. What's not to worry about now? If they want to fight, then fight! The Great Zhou Republic is still afraid of war?

Moreover, the progress of military technology has been promoted by one war after another.

The population growth of the New World also depended on the turmoil and strife of the Old World.

In recent years, the Western world has not been very peaceful, Yelu Dashi's son Yelu Yilie and daughter Yelu Pu Suwan are all militants, and they have been waging war against the Eastern Roman Empire for many years, and they are about to fight an Ottoman Empire...... On the eastern side, isn't it time to train the troops?

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu smiled and said, "San Lang, then let's wait to see the good show of the two songs!" ”

Wu Yijiu nodded: "There will definitely be a fight!" The Western Song Dynasty is not like our Great Zhou Dynasty and Eastern Song Dynasty, each with a continent that can be developed...... They can only go east! ”

"Okay!" Wu Haogu smiled, "San Lang, I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while, you go and get busy!" This world has long been handed over to you, and the father is just a spectator now. In a few years, I'm afraid I won't even be able to watch it. ”
