Chapter 876: The Second Expedition to Liao (I)
"Dead lips and cold teeth!"
After Tu Si reported the affairs of the court to Lotte in detail, Lotte smiled helplessly.
Looking at Lotte's face, Tu Si said with some hesitation: "Xu will ask the little one to ask the Hou Ye for guilt......"
"What crime please?" Lotte raised his eyebrows puzzled.
Tu Siyu said: "Your Majesty ordered His Royal Highness King Yun to take charge of the Northern Expedition Shuaiyin, His Royal Highness King Yun intends to ask Hou Ye to accompany him on the expedition, and under the persuasion of General Xu, His Royal Highness King Yun gave up this idea!" ”
In this regard, Lotte disagreed: "Not to mention whether His Majesty should allow it or not, even Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, Liu Yanying and others will not let Le go with the army, for fear that Le will rob him of his merits, and besides, if His Royal Highness King Yun wants Le to go with him, how can others persuade him in a few words." ”
"What Master Hou said is true!" Tu Si hurriedly agreed.
Looking at the busy construction site, Lotte asked, "What news has come from Hangzhou recently?" ”
Tu Si replied: "Back to Hou Ye's words, Bai Yuanwai and Wang Yuanwai sent a letter saying that everything is going well in Hangzhou, because of the resumption of the Ying Ying Bureau and the resumption of Huashigang, the people of the two Zhejiang provinces are increasingly dissatisfied under the exploitation, and many people agree to our recruitment, and they are sent to Dongying and Luzon respectively, either to open up wasteland and open up fields, or to pan for gold and silver in the mines, but now whether it is Dongying or Luzon, there is still a big labor gap. ”
Lotte smiled: "Don't worry, there will be more people in a while." ”
"What does Master Hou mean?" Tu Si was puzzled.
Sighing helplessly, Lotte said: "The Great Song Dynasty is boiling with resentment, and now the treasury is empty, and the Son of Heaven has even used the levy of free money, what will the Great Song Dynasty look like in the future, you can imagine it without me saying it!" ”
After following Lotte for a long time, Tu Si's horizons have already broadened, and he suddenly realized that according to the current mess of the Son of Heaven, sooner or later there will be trouble in the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not impossible for the world to be in turmoil.
"How's going on in Jinzhou?" Lotte then asked.
Tu Si replied: "Our people have set up a port in the country of Srivijaya as a trading base, pursuing the strategy of friendship with the local native countries, everything is slowly implemented according to the steps designed by the Hou Ye, according to the people who came back, the country of Srivijaya is a loose alliance composed of a bunch of tribes, not like my Great Song Dynasty, it is a pure unification of the country, and it is not difficult to occupy the Sriwijaya. ”
"Write back to them, and ask them not to be impatient!" Lotte said: "At present, there are still too few immigrants in Jinzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and only when there are more in the future can I slowly plot." ”
"Yes!" Tu Si hurriedly replied and continued: "Master Hou, today I got a message from the flying envoy from Hangzhou, saying that our Dongying Zuodu and Shengye Silver Mine were attacked by the local Dongying people, and there was a large-scale weapon fight......
"How?"
Lotte asked hurriedly. Now just firmly settled in Luzon, gold and copper mines still need to wait for some time from production, Dongying silver mine is an important source of funds, with Lotte heart here is the bottom line and core interests of their own tolerance, and will never allow a little fork.
Tu Si hurriedly replied. "Back to the words of the Hou Ye, the letter said that there was a situation in Zuodu and Shengye, and our naval army immediately rushed to the past and surrendered the fallen flowers and flowing water beaten by the local natives; The letter also said that the bronze cannon given by Hou Ye was very useful, and most of the natives were killed and injured by a few cannons......"
The news of the victory did not make Lotte smile at all, and he turned angrily: "You reply to General Lu and Chen Hoop, and the next time you encounter such a thing, you will kill all the Dongying natives who make trouble." ”
Since he was doing things next to Lotte, he had never seen such a cold order from Lotte, Tu Si persuaded on the side: "Master Hou, it is against heaven and ...... to kill and abuse more."
As soon as he was halfway through the words, Tu Si was frightened by Lotte's gaze and swallowed the second half of the words back into his stomach. At this moment, Lotte's eyes were full of killing intent, and even the bloodshot in his eyes completely swelled at this moment.
Tu Si had never seen Lotte have such a cold gaze, and that kind of ruthlessness and ferocity had never been shown even on the battlefield of destroying Western Xia at the beginning.
I still remember the abuse done by the Japanese people in Huaxia in the previous life, and said coldly: "Le only believes in one sentence, the dead Dongying people are good Dongying people, when you write a letter, you will tell Le's words to Lu Jiang, Chen Hoop and others, so that they can make a move." ”
"Yes!" Tu Si hurriedly responded.
In the initial stage of capitalism, the capitalist powers of Western Europe relied on the bloody and crazy act of robbing slave colonies to accomplish the primitive accumulation of capital, which in turn made these vampire capitalists rich and powerful, enabling them to win the struggle against the feudal lords and finally take control of the whole country.
The nomads of the past dynasties entered the original and quickly evolved from the primitive clan and tribal society to the feudal society, which proved that the social system can be surpassed, and the Great Song Dynasty has now seen the germ of capitalism, and Lotte has worked hard to transform the Great Song Dynasty into the early stage of capitalism in the period of feudal society, so as to avoid the prevalence of Zhu Lixue's theory in China because of the Jingkang Change, and finally fall into the whirlpool of the deformed feudal society in later generations.
Now Lotte is in the primitive capital accumulation stage, out of moral considerations, Lotte tries its best to avoid slavery and blood, but it does not mean that Lotte has no bottom line, Lotte does not allow anyone to hinder its pace.
……
According to the calculation of the time of the construction process in later generations, the Empire State Building, an eighteen-story building, generally takes about half a year for the pile foundation, and about half a year for the ground part.
In Lotte's plan, the first phase of foundation excavation ended in August, and then the Empire State Building began to officially lay the steel bar, entering the second stage of pile foundation construction; The pile foundation of the Empire State Building can be completed four years before Xuanhe, and then remove the rain and snow that cannot be constructed, and the Empire State Building will be partially completed around September of the fifth year of Xuanhe, and after all the interior of the building is completed, it will be fully completed before six years of Xuanhe.
While Lotte remotely commanded the affairs of the southeast and overseas, while concentrating on building the Empire State Building, the Great Song army once again set out for the Northern Expedition.
Hearing that the Great Song Dynasty sent troops again, the Jin people were afraid that the Song army would occupy Yanyou for a while, and the 500,000-year-old coins promised by the Song Dynasty during the Sea Alliance might not have been found, so they discussed growing with the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Ji promised that the Jin State would not violate the original agreement.
The Song army once again came to Xiongzhou, the northern Jin army was also a large soldier, the only remaining land of the Liao people in Yanyou was panicked, and then the Khitan people and the Han spears in the land of Yanyou intensified, and the Liao state was on the verge of collapse, and a large number of officials and soldiers began to take the initiative to surrender to the Song army.
This time the start of the Liao invasion was very smooth, and Guo Yaoshi, the defender of Zhuozhou of Liao, saw that the Liao Dynasty was not in danger, and led his army to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty in order to protect his own family. Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army was the strong army of the Liao State, and as an army of Sheji Gancheng, it surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, which made the Liao State panic, and at this time, the Yizhou garrison also surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty.
The land of the two states was obtained without bloodshed, and the news from the north made Zhao Ji and Wang Hao and other powerful ministers excited.
In addition to going to the annex to watch the progress of the steam engine, Lotte stayed at the construction site of the Empire State Building.
Tu Si came to report: "Master Hou, as soon as Liu Yanqing's former army arrived in Xiongzhou, Yanyou's Zhuo and Yi Prefectures surrendered to the imperial court. ”
"Expected!" Lotte, who was staring at the foundation construction, said very casually.
Lotte was puzzled: "Since it was expected by Hou Ye, why didn't Hou Ye support the use of troops against Liao?" ”
"The monkey trick is behind, you can watch it slowly!" Lotte laughed.
Tu Si didn't know what Lotte meant, and continued to report: "Master Hou, according to the news from the palace, now the Son of Heaven, Wang Hao and others have begun to plan how to set up a new administrative establishment for Yanyun Zhudi. ”
"How was it compiled?" Lotte's face flashed with a playful smile.
Tu Si replied: "It is said that in addition to setting up Yanshanfu Road in the seven states in front of the mountain, it has also specially changed the names of all prefectures and counties to sound domineering: Zhuozhou was changed to Zhuoshui County Wei Marching Army, Danzhou was changed to Hengshan County Zhenyuan Army, and Pingzhou was changed to Yuyang County Funing Army ......"
"Don't say it, it's just empty joy!" Lotte waved his hand, and then sneered again: "I'm afraid it won't be long before news comes that can make them cry." ”
I didn't understand what Lotte meant, Tu Si didn't dare to say anything, and watched Lotte continue cautiously: "According to the news from the palace, the Son of Heaven wants you to ...... you."
"What does Your Majesty want me to do?" Lotte raised an eyebrow.
Tu Si hesitated and said, "Your Majesty said that when the army returns to the army in victory, you must summon the Hou Ye to the celebration banquet......
"It's up to me to laugh ......," Lotte laughed.
……
A few days later, Tu Si came to report: "Master Hou, Empress Xiao has sent someone to deliver the surrender book!" ”
"The Liao people came to deliver the surrender letter?" Lotte asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Exactly!" Tu Si hurriedly replied: "According to the news from the palace, the Liao envoy entered the palace and presented to the Son of Heaven the surrender table written by the Liao Empress herself, and the letter of Empress Xiao can be said to be words of blood and tears, and everyone who heard it was moved......
"Don't say it's going to be sensational, long story short, just say the main content!" Lotte waved his hand.
Xiao Hou Yu said that the Liao State was unfortunate, even suffered from internal strife and external troubles, and the day was not safe, and I hope that the Great Song Dynasty will remember the century-old brotherhood, and can accept the letter of the Liao State, aid Liao to resist Jin, save the national ancestry, and Liao is willing to always be a vassal of the big pillow, and guard the border for the Great Song Dynasty for a long time.
After the Liao envoy arrived in Tokyo, he repeatedly begged the Son of Heaven and burst into tears, but was sternly rejected by the Son of Heaven, after which the Liao envoy sharply rebuked the treachery of the Song court's monarchs and ministers, and he said in front of the Son of Heaven: 'Lips and teeth are cold, don't you Great Song understand!' The Liao Kingdom is dead today, and it will be your turn tomorrow! ’”
"It's so strong!" After listening to Shakuchi's words, Lotte also sighed, and then said to himself: "If the Son of Heaven acts according to this, the Great Song Dynasty will not only be able to restore Yanyou, but even in the future, it will not be impossible to ......point a sword at Liaodong."
Tu Si reminded on the side: "Master Hou, the Son of Heaven will not agree!" ”
"I know the Son of Heaven will not agree!" Lotte smiled and raised his eyebrows again: "Didn't I tell you earlier, don't call me a marquis in the future." ”
