Chapter 615 - Measures with a long-term perspective

It's not peaceful at home, and it's not peaceful outside. Here we are still thinking about how to deal with the wind and rain in the city, and over there, there is once again new news from Europe.

The message was written by Lin Feng, and the meaning was quite concise, Europe was going to surrender.

But underneath this succinct message, there are some striking descriptions: the European coalition has been defeated, the Grand Duchy of Vladimir and the Grand Duchy of Kiev have fallen into the hands of the Mongol army, and the Grand Duchy of Poland, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Byzantine Empire have become the main battlefields of the war. Although the European Union said that it would surrender, if Zhao Shuo accepted, then it would inevitably help it recapture these countries occupied by the Mongols.

But if you don't accept it, Europe is likely to fall into the hands of Mongolia, Lin Feng poured out the purpose of the letter at the end, he didn't dare to make decisions about such a major matter, and specially invited Zhao Shuo to judge.

This is indeed a problem, this question Zhao Shuo had thought about, but he didn't expect it to appear at this time.

If it is managed, it will inevitably start a full-scale war with Mongolia, and now the internal situation is not as stable as Zhao Shuo thought, once the war starts, it is likely to become an internal and external trouble. But if it doesn't matter, after Mongolia takes Europe, it will also have to go to war with Zhao Shuo.

In other words, a war between Mongolia and Zhao Shuo is inevitable. Now it's just a matter of whether it's a little earlier or later.

Although the European Union continues to retreat, it still has some strength. Now to shoot, multiple European Unions, there is one more helper.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo decided to agree to the surrender application of the European Union.

The news spread from here to Europe, no matter how you say it, it will take more than half a year, and Zhao Shuo must make good use of this half a year to solve internal problems.

After writing a simple reply, Zhao Shuo sent someone to send the will directly to the intelligence department, and the next thing was up to Zhang Chujiu and them.

After smoothing out his train of thought again, Zhao Shuo began to deal with internal problems.

First of all, there is the problem of rumors, for this problem, Zhao Shuo has a headache.

The Supervision Department is an organization that is independent of the law, is under its orders, and is responsible for supervising all departments and officials.

But after frowning, Zhao Shuo suddenly realized that he seemed to be wrong. This institution, which he thought was quite secretive, may have been exposed a long time ago.

Gonggong Feng has dealings with Zhe Keqiu, and gives it, it should not have been broken, the Zhe family must know that such an institution exists, and the news about the Zhe family ......

The more Zhao Shuo thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally decided to find a time to talk to Zhang Chujiu to see if there were any major things on the Zhe family's side in the past few years, even if it was a clue.

"Now that it's been exposed, let's expose it completely, so that they don't think about it anymore." Gritting his teeth, Zhao Shuo decided to completely raise the Supervision Department to the Ming Department.

A few days later, Zhao Shuo announced the establishment of a national inspection office, with Xiao Fluttershy as the chief inspector and Yan Wu as the deputy leader, and the two were directly responsible to Zhao Shuo and were responsible for inspecting officials from various institutions in the world.

As soon as the incident came out, the world was in an uproar, and originally, the former intelligence department was already very frightened, and these people were hiding everywhere and collecting intelligence all over the country. It's even better now, in addition to the people from the Intelligence Department staring, the people from the Supervision Department are also out to watch.

Unlike the worries and apprehensions of the officials, the people did applaud. Supervision offices will be set up in various localities, and people who have grievances and have been suppressed can go to the inspection office to complain if the local magistrate is unable to deal with it or feels that the handling is unfair.

After accepting the case, the inspectorate will send a special person to investigate the facts, if there is really a grievance, ordinary, the disposal of officials will be heavily punished, if the people are the people, there is nothing to do, affecting the country's law enforcement, the punishment will also be doubled.

After the implementation of this measure, the rumors that had been floating in Chang'an City were self-defeating.

After solving the rumor problem, Zhao Shuo found Wu Yashi and the Minister of Commerce Molda.

In the past few days, Wu Yashi has been quite busy, and after Molda was promoted to Minister of Commerce, he began to coordinate the overall situation in Chang'an.

Unlike ordinary ministers, the Minister of Commerce can handle things at home, because the DPRK and China discuss major policies, and if they do business, they and no one will be happy to take care of it.

Because of this, Molda arrived at Zhao Shuo's mansion first.

"Your Majesty, you look for me." Molda saluted.

"Molda, what about me, I want to build a mercenary, these people are only responsible for fighting, when a country is attacked and is unable to resist, you can spend money to hire these people......" After a pause, Zhao Shuo looked at Molda. Do you think such an idea is feasible? ”

Molda was stunned for a moment, and pondered. He never thought about such an idea, he was in business, all of which were daily necessities such as tea, rice, oil and salt, as well as melons, fruits and vegetables, and then some daily necessities, the biggest one was to get some luxury goods, as for forming an army and doing business with people, he had never thought about it.

Now Zhao Shuo proposed to make money by renting out the army, which made his eyes shine.

Now that there are constant wars, many countries have been conquered, no matter how much money there is, without a country, this money can only be plundered by the invaders, at this time, if you spend some money, you can hire an army, drive away the invaders, and keep your country and status, Molda believes that even if the kings of these countries are bankrupt, they will not hesitate.

"Your Majesty, I think it's okay!" Molda replied.

"That's good, a moment......"

Zhao Shuo was talking, and Wu Yashi hurriedly came.

"Minister, Wu Yashi greets Your Majesty."

"Alright, get up!" Zhao Shuo raised his hand.

After Wu Yashi got up, Zhao Shuo said his thoughts again, and then said to Wu Yashi. "Western Xia is recruiting, and Western Liao is also recruiting, and these two teams together are the mercenaries I handed over to you."

"Give it to me?" The witch bowed to the ground. "The minister first thanks His Majesty for his trust, but the minister is a first-order scholar, let the minister take these troops out to do business, the minister really can't do it."

"Of course you can't, I know that." Zhao Shuo affirmed Wu Yashi's statement. "I let you go, I let you give advice. I have someone else to manage this team. ”

Wu Yashi exhaled, his heart relaxed a little.

"Molda, what about you, just go to inquire in the next few days, study what kind of thousands can get the greatest benefits, you should also know that as long as you don't make an uproar for these countries, they will pay us for help." Zhao Shuo first instructed Molda, then took a deep breath and said. "Forget it, I won't hide it from you, the leader of this mercenary, I am going to hand it over to Ju Zheng, and I am also going to transfer Shi Fei, Xuan Hao, and Hu Xu."

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Wu Yashi said.

"Why, you're not happy to have your brothers together." Zhao Shuo asked with a smile.

"Juzheng has been guarding Luoyang, there, even if it is possible to defend Qidi, it can also block Fuzhou, if he is transferred, the safety of Chang'an, the minister is a little worried." Wu Yashi said.

"Strategist, don't think those officials are so bad, it's okay." Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people, if Ju Zheng leaves Luoyang, Hu Xu and Shi Fei are transferred out of Shaanzhou and Shangzhou, if there is a change in Qi or Fuzhou, Your Majesty wants to transfer troops to recruit or defend Chang'an, you can't do both, if Qi or the governor of Qi or Fu drives straight into Chang'an, what can I do?"

Wu Yashi's rhetoric was quite reasonable, but he pointed the crisis to Qidi and Fuzhou, which confused Molda, who had not gone through the disbandment of the troops and horses in Western Xia.

"Second brother!" Molda was not called a military advisor of the Witches, but by a more affectionate title. "Marshal Qi Diyue has already led a large army to the sea, Fuzhou is His Majesty's father-in-law, how can they rebel? You're not right......"

Before Molda could finish speaking, Wu Yashi scolded him. "What do you know, what do you know!"

Saying that Yue Fei rebelled, Wu Yashi naturally had an element of nonsense, but if he said that he could ask for it, it was not all groundless.

But at this time, if you only say that you can ask for a discount, it is easy for people to misunderstand, so Wu Yashi pulled Yue Fei in.

He believed that Zhao Shuo would never believe that Yue Fei was going to rebel, and he should have different thoughts about the Zhi family.

He believes that Zhao Shuo can understand his hard work.

"Strategist, I still think Molda's words are more reasonable, you, you think too much." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo said again. "Besides, after Juzheng, isn't there still Shi Lance and Shi Zong, what about the two of them, transfer one to Luoyang, the same as Ju Zheng."

Zhao Shuo seemed to deny Wu Yashi's statement, but in fact, he accepted Wu Yashi's statement.

transferred out Juzheng, and arranged for his own people such as Shangshizong or Shili to continue to stay there.

"What Your Majesty said is that the minister may really think too much." Now that Zhao Shuo has given a hint, Wu Yashi's words have worked, and he wisely admitted this fake 'mistake'.

"Okay, then you prepare, I will write an order to Juzheng and them later, you are gathering in Liaodi, and I will ask Li Yuanhao to bring the army raised by Western Xia to Liaodi." Zhao Shuo said.

"Yes!" Wu Yashi saluted Molda, and then retreated to prepare.

After doing these two things, there is only one of the most difficult things left, which is Fuzhou.

Zhao Shuo sighed, then went out and went to Gonggong Feng's residence.

He felt the need to talk to Gonggong Feng about this, and believed that only Gonggong Feng was the only place he could break through.

In the mansion of Gonggong Feng, Gonggong Feng, who was even being watched when he was sleeping, immediately ran to the door to greet Zhao Shuo when he learned that Zhao Shuo had arrived.

"Oh, Grandpa Feng, get up, get up." Zhao Shuo politely helped Gonggong Feng up, then took his hand and walked into Gonggong Feng's mansion.

In the living room, Zhao Shuo drank tea lightly, and after a long time, he spoke. "Xixia's matter, I don't know what to say, I don't know, what do you think......" Zhao Shuo said, taking out the letter that Zhi Yueying wrote to Zhi Keqiu. I wanted to read what this letter wrote, but I didn't dare to read it, so I left it like this for a long time, and today I came to bring it to you. ”

With a long sigh, Zhao Shuo continued. "I'm so disappointed by what you've done. Now Mongolia is getting stronger and stronger, the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty has not been eliminated, and a big war between the two sides is inevitable, everyone knows what to do at this time, but you, for your own personal interests, will start to compete at this time. One day, when the world is finally peaceful, do you do something to assassinate me for your own selfish interests? ”

Zhao Shuo's words scared Gonggong Feng enough, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said. "The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave has always been loyal to His Majesty."

"What about the matter of Western Xia?" Zhao Shuo said.

"This matter ......," Gonggong Feng wanted to say and stopped.

What Zhi Keqiu told him was that the Western Xia was strong, and retaining the army was likely to endanger the country's rule, even if Zhao Shuo took away the military power, but the soldiers were still from the Western Xia, as long as Li Qianshun said a word, they would inevitably respond to it in full. He persuaded Gonggong Feng to send people to secretly disband all the armies of Western Xia in order to paralyze its people, and after these soldiers were hollowed out by a comfortable life, even if they were assembled, it would be impossible to have any combat effectiveness.

Gonggong Feng wanted to discuss with Zhao Shuo, but he asked for it, but Zhao Shuo was soft-hearted, if he told Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo would never do it.

They did this for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, without the slightest personal interest added to it.

And at this time, the news that the Western Xia soldiers were unwilling to join came here, and this was the matter of Feng Gonggong persuading Li Yuanhao to let Wu Yashi go to Western Xia.

Everything is similar to the design of the fold, the only difference is that Zhao Shuo also went in the end, and the soldiers finally saw through this matter.

"I know that you can't really hurt me, but this incident really hurt me." Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo explained to Gonggong Feng. "Western Xia is a country composed of nomads, originally they repeatedly asked to surrender, we should give them some privileges, for example, stationed a part of the soldiers and horses, to maintain law and order in various places to the party members themselves, but you can ask through his mouth, Li Qianshun was fooled, and you helped the evil to disband the army of Western Xia in my name without any reason!"

"You think very well, these people can farm and do business, but there are nearly a million farmers and merchants in such a piece of land in Western Xia, what do you think will happen to the country?"

"Mess!" Without waiting for Feng Gong to speak publicly, Zhao Shuo gave the answer himself. "That's what you're trying to do, inadvertently, in my name, messing up a country."

"Let's fight to the death with the Western Xia, even if we can destroy the Western Xia army, but what can we get, what we get is a more weakened self, everything, the cheap one is Mongolia."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo looked at Gonggong Feng. "I'm done, what about you, think about it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo got up and left.

After Zhao Shuo left, Gonggong Feng hesitated again and again and picked up the letter left by Zhao Shuo.
