Chapter 518: The Mongols Advance to the West and Conquer the Western Liao
The contract was signed, and then Zhao Ziyan returned to the Great Song Dynasty, while Zhao Shuo continued to deal with the situation of the new school and the new law. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The secret letter about the development of the Indian Ocean was completely thrown aside by Zhao Shuo. It's not that Zhao Shuo doesn't want to develop, but now is not the time. At this time, it would be good to let Li Chao and Siam toss around, and his main task now is reform.
Time flies quickly, and in a trance, it comes to May. It's another hot summer. The new schools have already made some achievements, which makes it quite unpleasant for officials who resist the new law.
Many officials have been removed for resisting the new law. Originally, these people thought that Zhao Shuo had few talents in his hands, and as long as they jointly resisted, they could organize Zhao Shuo to implement the new law.
But what they didn't expect was that Zhao Shuo was resolute and resolute, and as long as he resisted, he would be deposed.
They think that Zhao Shuo lacks talents, but Zhao Shuo is completely a slap in the face, where there are officials who are dissatisfied, or do not go all out, after the recall, there will be new officials immediately, these new officials, endlessly, and, for the implementation of the new law, that is to do their best.
Later, these officials learned that these new officials were mainly from the new-style schools in Chang'an.
Originally, many students were opposed to the new school, but to their great surprise, the students who went to the new school were soon placed in new official positions. This is much more powerful than the previous imperial examinations.
In the past, you had to go through the township examination, the provincial examination, and the palace examination, and even if you passed the final examination, you had to wait for the later supplement, not to mention becoming an official immediately, even if you wait for a few years, or even more than ten years, you may not be able to become an official.
But now, some of the students in this new-style school have only been a few months old, and they have already filled the vacancies and become officials.
This greatly stimulated the students who did not accept the new school, and they abandoned the old ideas and accepted the new school method.
It can be said that the inaction of the old officials has indirectly promoted the development of new-style schools, and the development of new-style schools is just to cultivate talents and replace old officials.
This creates a cycle.
The domestic reform is in full swing, Zhao Shuo feels that if it goes on like this, it will not take a few years, and there will inevitably be a feat like the industrial revolution, and when the time comes, the whole world will be his, and his peaceful thoughts, at that time, can be completely realized.
But what he didn't expect was that Mongolia caused trouble for him again.
"Lord Wang, Mongolia has bypassed the Kereh Department and is now attacking Western Liao, and Western Liao has sent people to Western Xia for help." Zhang Chujiu handed over the collected information to Zhao Shuo.
"Mongolia is still moving west." Zhao Shuo didn't even look at the news, and muttered to himself.
"The messenger for help from Xiliao is already on the way, for Xiliao, do we want to rescue?" Zhang Chujiu asked.
"Who is the Mongolian leader this time?" Zhao Shuo asked.
"It's the Mongol Emperor, Muto himself." Zhang Chujiu replied.
"It seems that this time, he is ruthless." Zhao Shuo said helplessly.
"Lord Qiqi, Li Renxiao asks to see you." The guard Geshan came in and saluted.
Ge Shan sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Shuo originally wanted to promote him, but this guy was stunned to be Zhao Shuo's guard.
Zhao Shuo, who was helpless, finally named Geshan as a second lieutenant, but still served as a guard.
"It seems that Xixia can't sit still." Zhao Shuo pondered for a while before he said. "Let him in."
After Geshan withdrew, Lee In-hyo quickly came to the hall.
"Li Renxiao, the prince of Great Xia, pays a visit to the prince." After Li Renxiao came in, he saluted respectfully.
During this time, Li Renxiao has been studying at Zhao Shuo's Exin-style school, with Wan Yan Yan and Zhe Yanye. The three of them were full of curiosity about teaching at Zhao Shuo's new school. But after some study, I was full of admiration.
With such a good way of reform, Li Renxiao naturally wanted to pass it back to Western Xia. And today, among the letters sent back from the Western Xia, it turned out to be a personal letter from the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun.
Li Qianshun passed on the news that Western Liao was attacked by the Mongols and asked for help from Western Xia. And voiced concerns.
Mongolia is powerful, and the only one in the north who can compete with Mongolia is Zhao Shuo. Western Xia and Zhao Shuo established a military alliance, and if Western Xia was in trouble, Zhao Shuo should still be able to help. But for Western Liao, it's hard to say.
Western Liao does not border Zhao Shuo, and even if it is killed by Mongolia, the loss will not be too great for Zhao Shuo. But it was different for Western Xia.
There is the Kereh Department in the north, the Western Liao in the west, and Zhao Shuo in the south and east, which seems to be a situation with no future for development, but once the external environment changes, the Western Xia is the safest.
The Kereh Department belonged to Zhao Shuo, and the general forces did not dare to fight. Western Liao is not weak, and the general forces also dare not fight.
But now, everything has changed, because it was Mongolia who struck.
It is really difficult for Western Liao to resist the attack of the Mongols. Once the Western Liao was conquered by the Mongols, the western Xia was faced with the crisis of Mongol attack.
Even if Zhao Shuo had a military alliance with Western Xia, it is really hard to say whether Zhao Shuo would really send troops if the Mongols suddenly launched a fierce attack on Western Xia.
Everyone knows that Zhao Shuo's main thing now is reform, and, some time ago, there was just a big battle at sea. Although Zhao Shuo's losses were not much, fighting a war was to consume money, food, and salaries.
After such a big war, it is reasonable for Zhao Shuo to need to rest. After all, Zhao Shuo is not the same as Mongolia.
All the people of Mongolia are soldiers, and when they fight, it is good to gather them, and in peacetime, they are scattered and nomadic, and they are self-sufficient. But Zhao Shuo's soldiers have to be raised by the silver of white flowers.
Also, Mongolia's troops have always been fighting and robbing, which is also different from Zhao Shuo's troops. If Zhao Shuo set off with a large army, he must raise grain and grass and baggage, and then set off.
In this way, it will be greatly delayed, rescue time.
Western Xia was worried that once the Western Liao was destroyed, one day the Mongols would send troops to fight the Western Xia, and Zhao Shuo's army had not yet assembled and set off, and the Western Xia would be destroyed.
The Western Xia had such emotions because they saw the strength of the Mongols, and that kind of strength was not something they could resist.
"Brother Li is here at this time, there should be something important to tell this king." Zhao Shuo looked at Li Renxiao and said.
"Don't hide it from the prince, the Mongolian army is advancing westward, and it has attacked Xiliao, Xiliao is asking for help everywhere, I am here this time on behalf of Xixia, and I hope that the prince can also send troops." Li Renxiao did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of this visit.
"Rescue Xiliao?" Zhao Shuo pondered.
"Lord Wang, Mongolia is conquering everywhere and is unpopular, at this time, the land of China hopes that a hero can stand up and uphold justice for them." Li Renxiao brought a top hat to Zhao Shuo, and then continued. "This hero is the prince. Only when the prince makes a move can he save all the people. ”
The top hats are one after another, but Zhao Shuo doesn't eat this set. He pondered for a long time and uttered two words. "Send troops."
