Chapter Seventy-Five: Plotting to Attack India

"It has always been a fine tradition of businessmen to judge the situation and assess the situation, perhaps you should give up your status as an envoy and concentrate on being a businessman." Zhao Ji said funny.

The Chola country had a population of 15 million, a large land, and was prosperous and powerful. This time, 100,000 sailors were dispatched to the east to conquer the Three Buddhas, which shows its strength, and Zhao Ji is not arrogant enough to destroy such a big country. The Great Song Dynasty has this ability, but it is better to destroy the Western Xia, destroy the Northern Liao, and unify China.

"Xiao Chen, in fact, is a Great Song Dynasty businessman." Pu Yuanyi explained.

Pu Yuanyi is a man of multiple nationalities, and there is nothing wrong with him being a green man from his ancestral home, but he is very clever enough to obtain the nationality of various countries along the entire Maritime Silk Road, and has his industry in each country. This era is not like later generations, where nationality requirements are very strict.

"Great Song merchants. Hehe, wait until you change the big food cabinet to the big Song cabinet! Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Holy Lord, Shi Bao and ten thousand soldiers ask to see." An iron arm guard whispered to Li Xiang'an, who turned to Zhao Xuan.

"They're endless. Let them in! Zhao Ji shook his head and said.

Shi Bao and Wan Bing saluted, and Zhao Ji waved his hand impatiently, meaning that they should say something quickly.

"Holy Lord, this is the order of King Ming to be transferred to the Holy Lord." Shi Bao said, handing over a notebook.

Zhao Xuan paused for a moment and said, "When did King Ming give it to you?" ”

"On the day that King Ming decided to surrender to the Holy Lord." Shi Bao replied.

Zhao Ji opened the notebook and quickly browsed it, as if he had seen a new world. This recital was written by Liu Qi before he came to the Great Song Dynasty, and was later handed over to Shi Bao. If Zhao Ji decided to go west, they Mingjiao were willing to take the lead and recruit the Qingtang Tubo and Huangtou Hui.

Just now, Liu Qi, who was knocked unconscious, told Shi Bao to give this recital to Zhao Ji now. The meaning is very simple, thank Zhao Ji for his grace not to kill. They saw the shadow of a strong and ambitious monarch in Zhao Ji.

Zhao Qi's decisiveness and foresight in some major matters made Liu Qi very admirable. Zhao Ji was able to use people without doubt and entrust the Great Song Dynasty to Wang Anshi, which was the courage of a wise lord.

They are also very satisfied with the results of the Quanzhou incident. After all, Zhao Ji did not completely compromise with the Heavenly Fang Sect, and did not lose his ability to judge for the flattery of the Great Cannibal and the tariffs of Quanzhou.

Although Liu Qi was knocked unconscious, he was really woken up. He finally understood that although the Great Song Dynasty had not used large-scale military operations to expand externally, the influence of the Great Song Dynasty was expanding wildly. This is the prelude to large-scale military expansion to the outside world, and this only needs to wait for another ten years, and after Wang Anshi rules the world, the Great Song Dynasty will be full of national strength and continuous strength.

The Great Song Dynasty does not seem to have expanded externally, in fact, the surrounding countries have been tied to the chariot of the Great Song Dynasty's external expansion by Zhao Ji, which can be seen from the Western Xia's large-scale westward expedition. Western Xia wanted to ask the Great Song Dynasty for money and grain, so they could only march west. The Great Song Dynasty was thriving, and the Western Xia could no longer benefit from the Great Song Dynasty, so they had to go to the West to find the future of the country. The situation of Cochin and Western Xia was almost the same.

"I know, when King Ming recovers from his injury, let King Ming return to the top of the light and let him do it. I'll get the government hall to cooperate with him. Zhao Ji was very excited.

Zhao Ji still remembers that during the period of Song Zhezong, the Confucian general Zhang Qi did sweep away the Qingtang Tubo and Huangtou Hui, and opened up a Silk Road in the south of Western Xia. Within a few years, Fang La set off a large-scale rebellion in the southeast, which almost shook the foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty's rule. I don't know if Fang La's rebellion has anything to do with Zhang Qi's sweeping of Qingtang and Huangtou Huifu?

Within a few years of Fang La's extermination, the Jin State rose and destroyed the Northern Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Qingtang Tubo and Huangtou Hui were merged into the sequence of the Tubo tribes. After the Northern Liao was destroyed, the Khitan nobles coerced the steppe tribes to annex the Gaochang Hui and the Black Khan, and established the Western Liao, while the desert steppe was occupied by the Mongolian tribes. The map of the various regimes in the land of China was rewritten until the Mongols rose strongly.

If the Qingtang Dynasty and the Huangtou Hui can be annexed now, the Great Song Dynasty will have a deterrent power in the Western Regions and the ability to influence the pattern of the Western Regions. Then if the Great Song Dynasty wanted to expedition to the Western Regions and open up the land Silk Road, it would not need to rely entirely on Western Xia. This recital made Zhao Ji very excited!

What Zhao Ji didn't know was that after Xiao Yiyuan surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, because there were Jurchen generals in the Liuqiu line, the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchen tribe was strengthened, and the merchant ships passing through the Korean Strait and the Sea of Japan continued, and the Jurchen tribe was already rising.

A small change in history can affect the course of the entire history. Zhao Ji didn't know that he had brought very big changes to this era.

"The last will obey." Shi Bao arched his hand and said.

"Holy Lord, how should the specific content of the three prohibitions be formulated? Wechen begged the Holy Majesty to make it clear. Seeing Shi Bao finish speaking, Wan Bing surrendered his hand and pleaded, speaking very carefully.

"Of course, the three prohibitions are implemented in public, do you still have to find out to people's homes? The Heavenly Sect wants to preach, and I will not stop it, but in public, I cannot talk about their teachings, nor can I carry out religious ceremonies. What they have to do is to learn to follow the customs of the Great Song Dynasty, not that the Great Song Dynasty respect their customs. As for what they like to do in their own homes. Under the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, all religions must be treated equally, and no one should be biased. Those who do not understand the scriptures of the Tianfang Sect can go to the Tianfang Sect Chapel to worship, but they do not recognize them as Tianfang Sect members. Zhao Ji said in one breath.

"Yes." Wan Bing arched his hand and said.

After Wan Bing and Shi Bao left, Zhao Ji said to the clerk who recorded the conversation: "Transcribe a copy of what I said." Cover the jade seal and send it to the political affairs hall, which must be strictly implemented. ”

Zhao Ji's image is a demon in Pu Yuanyi's eyes, and he curses this demon in his heart to go to hell early, but now his situation makes him have to bow to the demon.

"Get up! Li Xiang'an, give a seat. I want to hear some clever plan for the destruction of the Chola Kingdom. Zhao Ji waved his hand and said.

Li Xiang'an moved a low stool, but Pu Yuanyi was already kneeling so numb that his legs were numb, and when he stood up, he staggered and fell to the ground.

"It seems that the envoys of the Great Eclipse like to sit on the ground." Zhao Ji laughed.

Pu Yuanyi smiled awkwardly, hung his legs with his hands, and after a while, finally stood up and sat on the low stool.

"Let's talk about the reasons for the proposal. In my opinion, businessmen have always bought and sold, and they do not buy and sell at a loss. Zhao Ji said calmly.

Compared with Pu Yuanyi, Zhao Ji's height of one meter seven or eight is not dominant, but when he takes off his clothes, Zhao Ji's muscle bumps make Pu Yuanyi feel more terrifying than the dragon robe. Pu Yuanyi thought of their green-clothed caliphate, who only knew how to raise Jewish slave girls, and that body and bones had long been wasted, and he couldn't help but worry about the fate of his country.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, a minister." Pu Yuanyi was about to speak, but was savagely interrupted by Zhao Xu, only to hear Zhao Ji say: "Since you are a merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, you should call me a saint, and you call yourself a grass person." ”

"Yes, yes. In the saint, the grass people were born from big food, and the big food has fallen apart. There is a caliphate in Baghdad, and there is also a caliph in Cairo. The green food has now set sunset, and the black food can be said to have perished. The abominable Seljuks captured Baghdad and became kings of the East and West, wielding power in the Black Eaters. The grass people were born in big food, and when they saw that the Great Song Dynasty was strong, they hoped to use the power of the Great Song Dynasty to continue the national glory for my motherland. Pu Yuanyi broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he couldn't think carefully in front of Zhao Ji, so he could only say helplessly.

"Seljuk?" Zhao Ji smiled.

The ancestor of the Seljuk nation, the Oghuz tribe, was originally a tribal alliance of "Shaowu Nine Surnames" in the Sui and Tang dynasties of China, and belonged to the Turks. After the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks and disintegrated the Turkic Empire, a part of the nine surnames traveled westward and became known as Oghuz or Guzi. In the middle of the 11th century, the Oghuz tribes settled in the lower reaches of the medicine and water under the command of the Seljuks, and converted to the Sunni sect of Islam, and from then on they were called the Seljuks.

Thirty years ago, in 1040, Seljuk's grandson, Grillebak, led the Seljuks to rise to prominence, capturing the city of Mulu and then engulfing the entire Khorasan region. Twenty years ago, in 1055, the Seljuks conquered Persia and captured Baghdad. The political power of the caliph was completely abolished by the Seljuks and he became the nominal religious leader. Grelbak was canonized as Sultan by the Caliph and called him "King of the East and the Quartet".

The meaning of sultan is translated into Chinese as emperor. In 1070, the Seljuk army continued to defeat the Byzantine army, capturing the Byzantine Emperor Romanus IV, and most of Asia Minor, to which the Byzantium belonged, was in his hands.

The humor of history lies in this, the Seljuks are the wolves raised by the Tang Dynasty!

"If the Holy One can go out to conquer the Chola kingdom and then sweep away the Indian countries, then he can threaten the Seljuks from the east. And the Great Song sailors can sweep away the Great Food Sea and drive the Seljuk sailors out of the Great Food Sea. As long as the Great Food Sea is unblocked, then the trade in the Red Sea will flourish again, and the Green Clothes and Great Food will have the financial resources to send troops to fight the Seljuks with the Great Song Dynasty. Pu Yuanyi continued to state.

Pu Yuanyi is not lying, his intention is precisely this. Because the caliphate in Baghdad was made a puppet by the Seljuks, in 1058, the third year of the Seljuk capture of Baghdad, the former Baghdad general Bai Sasiri forced the Abbasid to transfer the symbols of the position (including the cloak of the prophet and other relics) to Cairo, and Muslims everywhere began to worship the Cairo caliphate. In this way, Pu Yuanyi did come to the Great Song Dynasty to form an alliance on behalf of the Great Food.

"Hahaha. Your plan is too idealistic. To the east of the Seljuks, there was a Ghaznavid dynasty, right? If India was so easy to conquer, why didn't the Ghaznavids, who were frightened by the Seljuks, go south to India to expand their territory? As far as I know, the Ghaznavid Dynasty was also a small country that split off from the Great Eclipse. If they are willing to submit to Cairo, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to flank the Seljuks? The Ghaznavid Dynasty, which believes in the Heavenly Sect, you don't go, but you come to the Great Song Dynasty? In the countries of India, there are many people, the population is not less than the Great Song Dynasty, there are at least 80 million people, and the number of each ** team is at least one million or more. Zhao Ji lost interest in Pu Yuanyi's strategy.

What Zhao said is true, India has a large population, and the total number of troops of all countries will not be less than one million. The southern state of Chola alone had a population of 15 million and an army of more than 200,000. Where does the Great Song Dynasty have the strength to destroy them? It is already remarkable to be able to defeat them in the Lingya Strait and ensure the smooth flow of the South Sea Silk Road!
