Chapter 53: The Endless Rain

Zhou Huanhai made up his mind to grit his teeth and buy the shares of the Chengyun Guam Wharf, and the other merchants of Gaizhou City also made up their minds to sign the shares of the wharf in Yicheng or half of the city after Zhou Huanhai signed the contract. Don't miss the opportunity, you can't miss it, you miss this opportunity, and it's too late to regret it later. These Gaizhou businessmen originally hesitated to hope that He Tengxiao could lower the price of the shares of Yunguam Wharf, but seeing that there was no hope of reducing the price, these businessmen had no choice but to purchase the shares of Yunguam Wharf at the price offered by He Tengxiao.

He Tengxiao got his wish and sold 50% of the shares of the Yun Guam Wharf, an extra 50,000 taels of silver at his disposal. The construction of Pingshan Fort and Yunguam Island is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In June of the 14th year of the Great Zhao Zhenyuan, Temu Khan of the Menggu Chahar Department formed an alliance with the large and small Menggu tribes on the grasslands of Mobei and Menggu under the instigation of the Liao State, and a total of 12 tribes invaded Liaodong and plundered. Peng Chaodong led the Qin army and the Liaodong Zhen army to meet the Menggu coalition army, and defeated the Menggu coalition army in the Jianshanmen area, and the Menggu army was unfavorable in the initial battle. After the defeat in the first battle, the alliance formed by the twelve tribes of the Menggu tribe collapsed in an instant, and all the Menggu tribes retreated to the grassland. The Menggu tribes that once roamed the grasslands and put horses in the Central Plains have long since lost their former majesty.

Endless heavy rain swept through the northern region of the Great Zhao Empire, and the heart of the empire, Jingshi City, was wrapped in a curtain of rain. The rainwater fell on the roofs, dripped down the tiles, and drained into the ditches to the moat outside the city.

The heavy rain continued for several days, but Jingshi City was not submerged in this heavy rain that had lasted for several days. This is due to the fact that Emperor Taizong of Zhao attached great importance to the construction of the drainage system of the Jingshi City when he built the Jingshi City, and when Zhao Taizong built the Jingshi City, he requisitioned almost all over the empire and it took nearly 20 years to complete the construction of the drainage system of the Jingshi City. The drainage system of the castle consists of open channels on the ground and low culverts, and the mature drainage system of the castle is perfect, withstanding the test of heavy rain for more than 200 years. Relying on the kindness of his ancestors, Taizong's many heavy rains for more than two hundred years failed to flood Jingshi City, and this time it was the same.

In the palace city of Jingshi City, Song Yuren was still sitting in front of the case and summoned Xu Hongqian, the first assistant of the empire. Since Song Yuren ascended the throne, he has eaten and dressed at night, gone to bed late and got up early, and he did not dare to slack off on the government at all, and he must bow down to everything. Song Yuren had summoned his courtiers late at night many times, but this summoning was only one of countless times. The drainage system of Jingshi Castle, which was left over from the time of Emperor Taizong, still enjoys its blessings and has withstood countless violent rainstorms. But Song Yuren didn't know how long he could enjoy the blessings of his ancestors, and how many years the Great Zhao Empire's national glory could last.

The heavy rain slapped against the magnificent palace of the capital city, making a sound of swishing rain.

At this time, the Great Zhao Empire was in turmoil, and the Haikou in Fujian and Zhejiang frequently invaded the southeast sea frontier of the empire, and conquered cities along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang. In the northwest of the empire, less than a year after Peng Chaodong left Liaodong, Lu Tianhao, a Qindi giant, walked out of the mountains and raised the anti-flag again, and once captured the seven county towns of Hanzhong Prefecture, which had the potential to burn the prairies. In Liaodong, the rising Liao Empire was even more aggressive, looking at the Central Plains.

These days, Song Yuren has received news that the official army has repeatedly lost in battles, but yesterday he received a report that made him feel excited. Peng Chaodong achieved initial results in rectifying the Liaodong town army in Liaodong, and defeated the Menggu coalition army composed of the twelve tribes of Menggu at Jianshanmen.

Song Yuren was excited for a whole day, and in addition to being excited, Song Yuren couldn't help but sigh that there were too few national leaders like Peng Chaodong in Dazhao.

In addition to the good news of Jianshanmen, there was also a fold of Peng Chaodong's good news and sent it to Song Yuren's case along with the good news. The content of this good news surprised Song Yuren: Peng Chaodong asked for money to the ancient people! The line is a political term of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and the line is to negotiate peace. This time, Peng Chaodong put the good news of Jianshanmen and the peace with the ancient people of Meng, and Chen Zuojun hoped to bring the aftermath of the victory to force the ancient people of Meng to negotiate peace with Da Zhao.

Peng Chaodong's recital sprinkled nearly 10,000 words, and in the recital, Peng Chaodong bitterly explained the difficulties of managing the remnants of Liaodong and curbing the expansion of Liao's strength. He advocated making money to the ancient people, winning over the ancient people, and using the ancient people to threaten the right wing of the Liao State.

The idea of making money to the ancient people of Meng had already been mentioned by a minister three months ago, and this minister was also the famous Xu Hongqian, the first assistant of the Great Zhao Empire. It's just that it violates the ancestral teachings of the ancients, Song Yuren didn't dare to send it out easily, but just reprimanded Xu Hongqian, and Xu Hongqian's letter and Song Yuren stayed in the middle and did not cause an uproar in the court. Song Yuren summoned Xu Hongqian overnight today for Peng Chaodong's request to negotiate peace with the Menggu tribe.

The Great Zhao Empire has been established for more than 200 years, and has never taken the initiative to negotiate peace with foreign peoples. In the past, Song Yuren would throw away this kind of note at most when he glanced at it. He is an emperor who abides by the teachings of his ancestors, and will never take the initiative to negotiate peace with foreign clans. But today's Great Zhao Empire is not as good as it is year by year, with internal and external difficulties, and the country is weak and powerless. It also seems a little powerless to the traitors everywhere. However, Peng Chaodong's note about negotiating peace with the ancient Meng people, Song Yuren patiently read this recital of nearly 10,000 words carefully, and chose to secretly summon the first assistant Xu Hongqian late this night to discuss the matter of negotiating peace with the ancient people.

Song Yuren himself is extremely opposed to negotiating peace with the ancient people, but at present, there are continuous wars in various places, coupled with frequent disasters and famines in various places in recent years, military salaries are urgent, and there are very few troops that can be used in the empire. The Qin army is an army that Song Yuren is very optimistic about, and Song Yuren made up his mind to support Peng Chaodong to negotiate peace with the ancient people of Meng, hoping that Peng Chaodong could pacify the Liao State as soon as possible, so as to free up his hands to deal with the rogue uprisings in various places.

If the external troubles cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, there will be no way to calm the internal strife. If these two problems are not well solved, the Great Zhao Empire will be mired in war and will eventually exhaust the vitality of the empire. This is the problem that Song Yuren has always been most worried about, his lifelong ambition is to prosper the Great Zhao Empire, and the first prerequisite for the Great Zhao Empire is to solve the two most difficult problems of internal and external troubles. Supporting Peng Chaodong's peace with the ancient Menggu people, Song Yuren made a lot of determination this time.

Due to the heavy rain, Xu Hongqian was slightly delayed on the road before rushing to Miyagi to meet Song Yuren.

"Xu Qing, there is no other person to call in the middle of the night, just because of this good news and this note, Xu Qing will take a closer look at it first."

The chief eunuch on duty tonight was Zhao Song, the chief eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and Zhao Song received the good news and the song from Song Yuren and delivered it to Xu Hongqian. The chief eunuch of the celebrant personally accompanied the emperor to summon the right tonight, Xu Hongqian knew that the matter to be discussed in the summons tonight was important, so he couldn't help but look solemn, and took the good news from Zhao Song's hand with both hands, and read it carefully under the lamp
