Zhao Chen fell into deep thought, and only the sound of firewood burning could be heard in the room.

"What you just said is right, the world is not quiet! Although the war in the north has ended and the Jurchens have perished, this does not mean that the north has been stabilized! There are still Khitan rebels in the north, and although those Khitan rebels have been scattered, they may still become a threat! We need ideas to appease these Khitan rebels! Also, millions of people in the north can't eat, which is the source of war! On the one hand, we must exercise military control in all parts of Liaodong and eliminate all resistance forces, and on the other hand, we must vigorously provide disaster relief in the north, so that only in this way can the north temporarily settle down. Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Yu Yunwen nodded.

"But that's just a temporary peace! The north was ruled by the Khitans for more than 200 years, and then by the Jurchens, who may not have recognized the rule of our Han people in their hearts, so they need to change the ethnic composition here. Zhao Chen said.

"How to change the composition of the nation?" Kang An Road.

"It couldn't be easier, of course it's immigration! Our Great Song Dynasty has a large population, and this is a place where we are far superior to foreign races! Many people in Jiangnan and Sichuan can move to Liaodong, and we can give all kinds of preferential conditions! Those young people of the Production and Construction Corps can also go to the north and build the north! Ten or twenty years from now, the Han population in the north will have an overwhelming advantage, and it will be impossible for the north to be chaotic again! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Kang An nodded.

"Your Majesty, we can also build a wharf and port on the coast of Liaodong to truly connect this place with the Central Plains and Jiangnan!" Yu Yunwen said.

"You're right, we want to really make this place a part of my Great Song Dynasty, and it will never be possible to isolate this place from China in the future! The world needs to recuperate for a few years, and then gradually carry out all kinds of innovations! In addition, the army cannot stop. Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is talking about Goryeo, Dongying, Annam, and the grassland?" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen smiled, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Yunwen, do you know what is in the north of Huining Mansion?" After a while, Zhao Chen said.

"The northern part of Huining Province is an endless mountain peak." Yu Yunwen said.

"What about the end of the mountain?" Zhao Chen said.

"This ......" Yu Yunwen shook his head.

To the north of Hoeryeong Province are the Great and Small Khingan Mountains, the Outer Khingan Mountains and countless other mountain ranges, and further north is the cold Siberia! However, at this time, Siberia was in a completely uncivilized state, and the indigenous population there was negligible, so no one knew about those places at all.

"Do you know where Dongying is further east?" Zhao Chen said again.

"This ......" Yu Yunwen shook his head again.

Kang An next to him also showed a curious look on his face at this moment.

"We often say that the sky is round and the earth is round, but is there an end to heaven and earth?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is really embarrassed." Yu Yunwen smiled bitterly.

"The world is vast, and there are many people, although we have eliminated the Jurchens, and the people can recuperate, but no one knows what else is in the distance! So our army still needs to keep moving forward! Of course, we will no longer be able to do such a thing with the whole nation, we will not be reckless, we will send some of the most elite, most adventurous, and most pioneering soldiers to do such things! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we don't need to do this?" Yu Yunwen frowned.

"My Han people have been breeding in this land for thousands of years, but in the last two or three hundred years, my Han people do not want to forge ahead, just want to be safe! Over the years, I've been wondering why my Han people are like this? The main reason is that my Han people lack the pioneering spirit and adventurous spirit, and I will inject this spirit into the blood of my Han people again, so as to truly make my nation rise. Zhao Chen said.

The Han civilization is a conservative civilization that respects authority, sticks to conventions, and lacks change. Since the Han Dynasty began to respect Confucianism, to the present, for thousands of years, Confucianism has developed in a more conservative direction, and the science of science that completely imprisons individual thought has become the mainstream of Confucianism. Since the Song Dynasty, China has been constantly bullied by foreign races, from the Jurchens to the Mongols, and then to the Eight-Nation Coalition and the Japanese, the fundamental reason is that the entire nation is completely closed and conservative. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi, who represents the new school, Su Shi, who represents the Shu school, Ouyang Xiu of the Luling school, and others have been invited out of the Confucian temple to worship the status, and Zhu Xi, Ercheng, etc., who are all invited into the Confucian Temple, and Song Lizong announced Wang Anshi, who "changed the law", as the first sinner of the Great Song Dynasty in the name of the state. The Ming Dynasty began to implement the system of "no piece of board is allowed to enter the sea", and in the Qing Dynasty, it was even more "closed off from the country", and tens of millions of people in the entire nation were unwilling to accept new ideas and new inventions from outside, nor did they accept new ideas and new inventions from within their own nation, and as for the pioneering spirit and adventurous spirit, it was even more unimaginable. Even in modern times, the Chinese are still conservative in their thinking, and have not had any famous inventions for more than a hundred years.

Therefore, Zhao Chen wants to do everything possible to make this nation no longer conservative, no longer stay on a continent, and never dare to move forward. The army's constant conquest is only part of the equation, and much more is needed.

"Your Majesty, as long as you can make the people rich and healthy, then you are a generation of saints, and you don't have to risk these things." Yu Yunwen thought for a while and said.

"What's the point of a generation of saints? Han Gaozu and Tang Taizong can be regarded as a generation of saints, right? Even my Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty is also a generation of holy monarchs, but what did the Han and Tang Dynasties become later? Didn't they perish in the same way? The successive dynasties are just a repetition of the previous dynasty, and the occasional so-called holy monarch is just to make the people rich and happy for decades! This has been the case for hundreds and thousands of years, what will become of my Han people? Forever stagnant, more and more backward! So I don't want to stick to the old ways, I want to completely change the world! Do you understand my ambitions? Zhao Chen said.

After a long time, Yu Yunwen nodded.

"We must not be afraid of any difficulties, we must not be afraid of setbacks, and we must not be afraid of making mistakes! In short, we must establish a truly prosperous era that surpasses all dynasties, so that our Han people will always be vigorous and will never decline! Zhao Chen said.

******

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Chen led the imperial battalion soldiers and horses to continue to the east.

On the afternoon of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Chen and others came to the outside of Huining Mansion.

One hundred thousand Song troops, except for a small number of people who were on a mission, the rest of the people all came outside the city to welcome Zhao Chen's arrival, and the sound of long live was everywhere inside and outside Huining Mansion, resounding throughout the four fields.

Zhao Chen got off his horse, and he and Yu Yunwen, Yue Fei and others entered the Huining Mansion.

The streets of Hoeryeong Mansion were quiet, and there were no other figures to be seen except soldiers.

"Are the Jurchens still afraid to go out?" Zhao Chen said.

"They are all hiding in their homes and will not come out if there is something important." Yue Fei said.

"How's the security here? Has anyone violated military discipline? Zhao Chen said.

"The security here is good, after 20 years of war, to now, the vast majority of this Huining Mansion are women, when we surrounded Huining Mansion, the Jurchen women also participated in the defense of the city, but after we captured here, they all hid in their own homes and did not dare to come out! They are women after all! Lack of guts! Because there are a large number of women here, we are also very strict about military discipline, and if someone violates military discipline, we will never forgive! Now the Jurchens here are also His Majesty's people, and they are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the price of harassing the Jurchens is the same as the price of harassing the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one will dare to commit it! Yue Fei said.

"That's good! Also, what is the situation of the Khitan rebels? They were defeated by Wanyan Zonghan that day, where are they now? Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, now those Khitan rebels are distributed all over Liaodong, they are frightened by the Jurchens, and they will not be gathering in a short time! As long as the food for disaster relief arrives, the rebel army will be completely destroyed! In addition, Ye Luhong, Xiao Qilang and others have already gone south to enter all parts of Liaodong to prevent those righteous troops from making trouble! In fact, after the Battle of Huanglongfu, most of the men in the rebel army died at the hands of the Jurchens, and now most of the rebels are women! The entire Liaodong is now dominated by women! Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

In the wars of previous dynasties, in the end, there were many boys and girls, because men had to go to the battlefield, and there were many casualties! For example, Jurchen men have joined the army, and the vast majority of Khitan young and strong men have been pulled by the Jurchens to be new annexes, so it is normal for Jurchens and Khitans to be dominated by women! In fact, in the Central Plains, the ratio of men to women is also quite unbalanced, and the number of women far exceeds that of men.

"Your Majesty, we want to garrison the army in the north, and the men in our army have been fighting for many years, most of them are unmarried, and there are so many women here, we can encourage the officers and men in the army to marry more here, so that it will also help to change the ethnic composition here, and it will be easier for us Han people to gain a foothold in Liaodong!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Good! That's a good idea! Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.

They walked all the way, and after two quarters of an hour, they finally arrived in front of the Jurchen Palace.

This Jurchen Palace is very different from the Zhongjing Palace! Because after the Zhongjing Imperial Palace was looted by the Jurchens, it has lost its original prosperity, but it has not been destroyed here, and it is truly magnificent!

Zhao Chen just looked at it for a moment and then stepped in, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Where is the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu begging?" Bring him to me at once! ”
