Chapter 830: The Man with the Most Sons

Wang Ning'an spoke earnestly and comforted poor Zhang Dun, "Zihou, many sons and many blessings, do you know how many people are looking forward to being like you, surrounded by countless widows, and enjoying the blessings of all people!" Spread out, Everbright family, this is a good thing, really a good thing! ”

Zhang Dun cried even more, "Master, if your old man is willing, it is estimated that tens of thousands of widows will be sent to the door, why don't you work hard?" ”

In an instant, Wang Ningan's face sank, he slapped the table, and said through gritted teeth: "Zhang Zihou, in a word, are you going?" There are no three-legged toads, there are two-legged big living people, if you don't go, I'll let Lu Jifu go, or Zeng Bu, Han Zongwu, I have a candidate! ”

"Go, I'll go!"

Zhang Dun was really scared, how could he let go of such a good opportunity for meritorious service.

"Master, can the disciple make a request?"

"Yes." Wang Ningan was very generous, "Do you want people or money?" ”

"I don't want anything, I just want to know, how does Master know about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom?"

Wang Ningan blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, every year we exchange merchant ships with the Japanese State, and the exchanges are still very frequent. ”

Zhang Dun was skeptical, "So, the master deliberately inquired about the disciple's affairs?" ”

"That's not true, I heard Zizhan say it."

"Sue's big mouth!"

Zhang Dun exploded in an instant, he gritted his teeth, thinking about it, it was him, his mouth was very big, there was no cover at all, he asked about anything, and he dared to say anything!

The surname is Su, we're not done!

"What, Zi Hou, it's not Zi Zhan's business, he listened to Chen Wei."

"Chen Yu?"

"Yes, it's Liu Yue's man!"

I have to say that the name of Hedong Lion is too big, and Chen Yu can only be second to his daughter-in-law.

"Liu Yue'e is Old Man Liu's favorite granddaughter, and she is Liu Yu's sister, you went with Liu Yu, this matter can't be hidden."

Zhang Dun's brows twitched twice, he clenched his fists and arched his hands, and as soon as he turned around, Wang Ningan silently closed his eyes, and secretly said in his heart Zizhan, don't blame my brother-in-law, I can't help it!

If Su Shi was here, seeing Wang Ningan's underwhelming expression, he would be guaranteed to go crazy.

Of course, Su Shi didn't have this luck, he was caught by Zhang Dun and beat him so much that he couldn't get out of bed for three days, and even Chen Yu was unlucky.

But Da Su is not covered, you Zhang Dun can fight, but I can write!

Su Shi lay on the bed, and wrote a "Zhangzi Houdong Travels", after this was written, Luoyang paper was expensive, very popular, Su Shi continued to work hard, and continued to expand, stunned to write the world's first literati independently created chapter back style, a total of 1 million words, written is a flying style, twists and turns, for a time became the pillow book of countless literati.

Zhang Dun also gloriously replaced the Ximen officials and became the number one romantic figure in the world.

It is precisely because of this incident that Zhang Dun and Su Shi are like a pair of roosters, pinching when they meet, and they are ruthless, and they have become famous rivals among Jiayou's students.

Putting aside these things, Zhang Dun really felt that it was time to attack the Japanese state.

Even if there is no pressure of famine, he is ready to consult the teacher.

After returning from the Western Regions, Zhang Dun was sent to Youzhou.

Over the years, Youzhou has been regarded as Wang Ning'an's base camp, and his father has personally sat in the town, and there are as many as 80,000 warriors of the Wang family on the entire Great Wall, which is very sophisticated. With the garrisons in various places, as well as the sailors, the power available to the imperial court exceeded 300,000. There is also the Bohai State as a servant, sitting on such a powerful force, it is a pity not to make some movement.

Zhang Dun's advice to Wang Ning'an, if you want to play, play big.

How do you make it bigger?

It is to involve all the forces.

Instigating the Wa Kingdom to attack Goryeo is a clever move, but the next step is to let the Balhae Kingdom intervene to flank Goryeo.

Goryeo has always been a vassal of the Central Plains, but due to the rise of the Liao State, the land connection between Goryeo and the Central Plains is separated, although Goryeo is still a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty, but the degree of closeness is far less than that of the Liao State, and the annual tribute they give to the Great Song Dynasty is only one-tenth of that of the Liao State, and it is still decreasing.

There was once a minister who proposed to attack Goryeo and teach them a lesson.

However, Uncle Zhao thought that it was too difficult to attack across the sea, and once the battle was over, it was still ordinary people who were killed and wounded, and there was no way to punish the real culprit, so he gave up on this matter.

But the feud is still there!

Wang Ning'an's subordinates are all people who will be revenged, and if he has the opportunity not to retaliate fiercely, he is sorry to God!

Zhang Dun believed that Goryeo was the flank of the Liao State, and if Goryeo was lost, the Liao State would face the siege of the Great Song Dynasty in three aspects, Goryeo in the east, Bohai in the middle, and the Great Song Dynasty in the west.

Even if the Liao State has great ability, it can't afford it, so no matter what, they have to keep Goryeo.

This is called attacking and saving!

After the Khitan sent troops, they could turn the Goryeo Peninsula into a battlefield, constantly consuming the strength of all countries, and when everyone was exhausted and the people were exhausted, the Great Song Dynasty would send troops again, clean up the mess, and include all the places that should be taken into the territory.

After reading this suggestion, Wang Ningan was also overjoyed, this is simply a world war!

Good boy, promising!

Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing are Wang Ning'an's most outstanding students, but these two also have their own strengths, Zhang Dunsheng has a long-term vision and an excellent view of the overall situation, while Lu Huiqing is good at calculation, good at internal affairs, and good at intrigue and trickery.

Wang Ning'an waved his pen and immediately issued an order in the name of the political affairs hall, Zhang Dun was promoted to a bachelor's degree, and Langzhong of the military department was given a purple gold fish bag to serve as the envoy of the return visit to the Japanese state, and Liu Yu was appointed as a military attache with the army and concurrently served as a deputy envoy.

The two brothers looked at each other and started their journey to the Japanese country again.

Standing on the wide deck, facing the sea breeze, Liu Yu was doing a strange set of movements.

"I said, what are you doing here?"

Liu Yu wiped the sweat on his face and said in a low voice: "Zihou, this is the treasure I exchanged with the Buddha Seal Master, I heard that it came from Tianzhu, it can strengthen the body, strengthen the body, strengthen the foundation, prolong life, and ...... golden gun."

"Shut up!"

In an instant, Zhang Dun's face changed, as black as the bottom of a pot.

"We are on the emperor's orders this time, on behalf of the kingdom, not to sell ourselves!" Zhang Dun gritted his teeth, "This time, if the Japanese people dare to treat Lao Tzu like that, Lao Tzu will let the big ship open fire and flatten the Japanese country, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Faith, faith!"

It was the first time Liu Yu had seen Zhang Dun so fierce, obviously, the shadow of the last time was too powerful.

"Brother Zihou, after all, we are envoys, not troops, people send women to the door, can you still beat people? It's so unreasonable, so ah, I advise you to practice again, maybe you can use it! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't pay attention to Zhang Dun, who was going crazy, and Liu Yu ran away.

……

After a short voyage, a fleet of more than a hundred large ships entered the outer seas of the Wa, and their destination was Heiankyo.

Along the way, you can often encounter the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty, many of which belong to the Wang family's fleet, which is large and amazing.

In addition to traditional commodities such as gold, silver, sulfur, and timber, there were many slaves on board.

After Zhang Dun sent people to inquire, he learned that the Wa Kingdom had just experienced nine years of war, and the war was chaotic and embarrassing. With the end of the war, there were many prisoners, and there were also many unemployed samurai.

The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty spent a little price, bought prisoners, hired warriors, served as slaves, and trafficked them to the Great Song Dynasty to open up the wasteland for the Great Song Dynasty, or sold them to the Bohai State to help the Bohai Kingdom fight.

After a trip, there are often tens of thousands of profits, and these maritime merchants are full of brains and rich one by one.

Zhang Dun and Liu Yu were both eye-opening, it turned out that the merchants had long been in front of the imperial court, since the merchants could do what they could do, they had the support of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no reason why they couldn't do it!

The two of them became more and more confident.

A little combing through the history of the Wa Kingdom, in fact, they entered the feudal era, very late, and very backward.

The culture of the Wa Kingdom mainly comes from two aspects, one is the Confucian way of governing the country learned from the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Mahayana Buddhism, which constitute the genes of the Wa culture.

After the Dahua reform, the Wa Kingdom also established a system similar to that of the Tang Dynasty.

However, if you want to learn the Tang Dynasty, it is not a simple matter.

Due to its small size and limited financial resources, the Japanese state was unable to form a strong center, nor was it enough to support a well-established bureaucracy, let alone a strong army.

And what is strange is that the Wa Kingdom has learned a lot of things, but there are no disciplines, and the lower class people have no way to change their fate through the exam and be promoted to the upper class.

Therefore, the selection of bureaucrats in the whole country still depends on blood ties and retainers.

Without the imperial examination, there is no metabolism, let alone the power of the local clans, so after studying the Tang Dynasty for a period of time, there are many drawbacks, a bunch of problems, and it is difficult to maintain.

The experience of the Wa Kingdom also proves a truth, if there is no economic foundation, just learning a superstructure, the result is bound to be plausible, and it will soon fall apart.

A case in point is the emergence of the politics of regency.

Because of the expansion of clan power and the practice of land conquest, local estates became larger and larger, and the imperial court fell into a financial crisis and could not collect enough taxes.

The imperial power declined, and the Japanese king ordered not to leave the court.

The aristocratic bureaucrats represented by the Fujiwara clan became relatives through marriage, and when the Wa King was young, he served as the regent, and when the Wa King came of age, he returned power and served as Sekihaku.

In fact, the Wa King had been hollowed out, and the Fujiwara clan, which held great power, quickly became corrupt and degenerate, making it difficult to maintain national politics, and local rebellions continued, and the imperial army was no longer able to suppress it.

It can only rely on local forces, and the local clan armament has also increased rapidly, and the fighting continues.

The just-concluded nine-year-long campaign was a major battle between Genji and Abe, which ended with Genji winning and Abe defeated.

During the battle, the two sides mobilized tens of thousands of troops to participate in the battle, this number, in the Great Song Dynasty, is the scale of a border conflict, but in the Wa Kingdom, it is a great thing, enough to shake the country.

No, although Genji won the war for the imperial court, he didn't get much benefit, on the contrary, the Kiyohara clan, who finally participated in the war, annexed the territory of the Abe clan with his strong soldiers and horses, and his strength increased greatly, and there was a danger of rebellion again at any time.

At this moment, the return visit mission of the Great Song Dynasty came to the Wa Kingdom, and the two envoys were Zhang Dun and Liu Yu, who had visited the Wa Kingdom.

The patriarch of the Gen clan, Minamoto Yoriyi, personally went to the dock to greet the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the huge welcoming procession, there is a group of immature faces, which is very eye-catching. Although they were very young, they were skeletal and straight, with a pair of long, straight legs, which contrasted sharply with the looped legs around them.

If you count it a little, there are about two or three hundred.

At this moment, Zhang Dun's face was green......
