After more than ten years of governance by Zhao Ta, the Great Song Dynasty has completely recovered its vitality from the Jingkang Change, and created another prosperous era since the founding of the People's Republic of China. But Zhao Ta knew that there had been more than one "prosperous era" in Chinese history, but none of them lasted for a hundred years, let alone lasted forever. The opposite example is that every prosperous era is accompanied by a profound political and economic crisis, and the decline after the prosperity is often the beginning of the end of that dynasty, which is going to perish in the smoke of war.

The rise of Chinese dynasties often began with armed resistance or conquest, and after turmoil, it was a peaceful world where the government was clear and the people were happy. After recuperation, the national strength increases, and at this time, the ruler will often rely on the strong national power to conquer the east and the west, and then fight a so-called prosperous era by force. What follows is the invincibility of the world, and when all nations come to the dynasty, the intoxicated rulers and citizens will be intoxicated and do not want to make progress, and will decline in the song and dance. In the end, the decaying dynasty either died in domestic turmoil or was destroyed by foreign invasions, starting another cycle.

Flourishing in war, flourishing in war, and finally ruined in war, this may be the law of the Chinese dynasty's four-part "prosperity, prosperity, decline, and death", and war has become the main culprit of ruin. But how to break this law, in the era of agricultural civilization and empire, it seems that there is no way out, and the subsequent capitalism, socialism, and a communism that no one has yet seen seem to be groping and exploring.

Zhao Tan came from the so-called civilized democratic society in modern times after a thousand years, and in this century, he experienced two full-scale wars, followed by the Cold War, and then local wars and regional conflicts. It never seems to be far from people's view. For a hundred years, politicians and people of insight in various countries have been reflecting on how to eliminate war. Create a peaceful global village and try to avoid a repeat of the tragedy. But it seems that they have had little effect, and only avoided the outbreak of major wars, and regional hotspots are still all over the world.

After Zhao Ta took power, he tried to establish a new order with reference to what he had known in his previous life to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, it is impossible to implement the modern democratic system, so wouldn't it be to change one's own life, and not to mention what others do, the entire imperial family must first reform his life. In addition, this era has not formed a spontaneous democratic consciousness, and does not have the conditions for implementation, but it is a high probability event that the country will be divided under the current conditions.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ta thought that ultimate deterrence was still an important means of controlling war. In the previous life, there was no war in the world because of the nuclear weapons that could destroy the world, and its existence became an important means for the great powers to maintain peace, because everyone was afraid of this kind of destructive guy. Zhao Ta brought the age of firearms to this world in advance, and its power may be no less than that of nuclear weapons in later generations.

But in fact, it seems that no war is simple at all, and the Great Song Dynasty launched one war after another with unequal strength, with well-equipped organizational forces on one side and low-level cold weapons on the other. The target of the war does not span just one region, but includes a changing alliance of local warlords, religious forces, and other stakeholders. It also makes it difficult to define the victories of the Great Song Dynasty.

Another common consensus in modern society is that people around the world need to understand each other and establish close interdependence through economic and trade exchanges, then there will never be war. Global trade and investment are actively expanding on a massive scale. Huge numbers of immigrants flocked to unfamiliar lands, and everyone preferred arbitration to resolve disputes rather than force. However. There are also pitfalls. Globalization has given rise to radical ideologies, which have spread around the world. With the same goal, they want to overthrow the existing social order and establish a perfect social order.

In this era, with the footsteps of the Great Song Dynasty Business Travel, it went to all over the world. It also brought huge profits to the Great Song Dynasty, but at the same time attracted greedy eyes and inspired the rise of local nationalism and religious extremism, who regarded the Great Song as a predator of wealth and heresy. Their actions forced Zhao to use force to open up trade routes, eliminate and deter those who coveted the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, and turned himself into a true marauder and colonizer in the name of upholding justice, as was the case in Western Xia, Dali, and the expedition against the Seljuk Empire.

And Zhao Tan is also facing the same problem as a modern power, that is, a vassal country, and their every move involves its nerves. These vassals were originally accepted for the sake of the Great Song to maintain their own interests, but of course they had to pay a certain price, not only to provide financial support, but also to help and protect them when they were threatened. Ironically, some of the 'vassal states' often became more and more arbitrary because they relied on them, and although the Great Song Dynasty invested a lot of money and energy, they were unable to fully exert the influence of the response.

The Mughurs are a typical example, because their actions caused themselves considerable losses, but also broke the strategic layout of the Great Song Dynasty, and made the Tatars penetrate into the 'safe zone', and the Jin State was given a strategic buffer zone. But the bad thing is that no matter what kind of threat it faces, Da Song can't give it up for the sake of his own interests and honor, and he has to swallow this self-brewed bitter fruit. It seems that Zhao Ta was moved by Ye Su's words, it is better to say that he found a psychological comfort and reason for himself, killing him may be able to eliminate future troubles, but now that the world has changed greatly, what can Temujin be born in?

Countless politicians and people of insight in history have not been able to find a real way to eliminate war, and they have exhausted their wisdom to obtain only a country that has become a thing of the past in the smoke of war. Zhao Ta has been the emperor for so long, and he understands a truth: as long as there are interests, there will be disputes, and war is always for the government, and war will eventually depend on war to end. All he can do is to ensure that he does the things in front of him well and lay a century-old foundation for the Great Song Dynasty......

The annual New Year's court meeting was held again, and the civil and military ministers and foreign envoys who participated in the court meeting were all surprised to see the emperor leading a child dressed in Mongolian costume to the throne. Although the emperor did not say anything, everyone understood that this was tantamount to a high-profile announcement to the countries of the world that the Mughal tribe was still an ally and close partner of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the days that followed, the Mughal tribe was warmly entertained by the Great Song Dynasty, and the emperor changed the practice of sending people from the guards to participate in the archery competition on the third day of the first year, and instead let the Mughal tribe's Kutu Thorn represent the Great Song Dynasty. Hu Tu Thorn really lived up to expectations, three rounds of red hearts, won the first, was awarded the title of hussar general by the emperor, rewarded armor, treasure knives, gold 100 taels, and was famous for a while.

On the fifth day of the first month, the emperor presided over the crown ceremony of the emperor's eldest son, Zhao Yu, and the honor guard was protected along the way with the head of the Hu Tu Thorn; On the tenth day of the first month, the imperial garden was reviewed, and the emperor did not ride the high war horse from Arabia, but chose the war horse that had accompanied Kutu Thorn on the battlefield; On the 14th Lantern Festival, Xuanhe also appeared on the upper floor, and the tiger skin on the throne is said to be his offering.

Kutu stab, who has always been despised by people, became the emperor's favorite minister, and the celebrities around him aroused the envy and jealousy of many people! The Great Song Dynasty treated the Mughurs so favorably that politicians with a keen sense of smell understood that the signal released in this was a warning to the Jin Kingdom, almost pointing at their noses and saying, 'Don't touch the Mugyu again, he is my Great Song man'.

As a party, the Kutu stab was naturally moved, and the results obtained from this trip to the Great Song Dynasty were far beyond his imagination, especially the emperor's 'sincerity' completely conquered this Mughal warrior. He knows his current situation very well, the population is less than 20,000, the number of people who can fight on horses is less than 2,000, and the poor people who don't have a few taels of silver in their pockets are jingling, and they are also facing the pursuit of strong enemies, and they are always facing the threat of extermination.

Under the grim situation faced by the Mughal tribe, how about their own relatives? They took the opportunity to snatch their own throne, divided the few possessions of the clan, and led the clansmen to leave him for another development, leaving them with the name of the worthless Great Khan, a small tribe with today and no tomorrow. Now the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty not only promised to provide assistance, but also promised to help him take revenge, and gave enough face in front of the seasons of many countries.

Two days ago, the emperor ordered him to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures, considering that now the new defeat of the Mengwu tribe, due to the division strength has been greatly weakened, he led the troops to move to the Dading area to restore their vitality, so that it is also convenient to get assistance nearby, and then return to the grassland when the time is ripe. The Jurchens did not directly participate in the war, and it was inconvenient for the Great Song Dynasty to directly come to their aid, but even if they received assistance on their own, they were powerless to fight against the Tatars, so they responded and proposed to lead their troops to the Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty rejected his kindness to return to the Song Dynasty, saying that now the Mughul Department is the most difficult time at this moment, and the Great Song Dynasty cannot take advantage of the danger of his friends to do unkind and unjust things and annex their tribe. If one day the Mughuls re-emerged and became the lords of the grassland, they would still have this wish, and the Great Song would definitely welcome them at any time, but they would never agree now. For what the Great Song Dynasty said and did, Hu Tu really admired the five-body throw, and once again deeply regretted what he did at the beginning.

At the first court meeting after the end of the annual holiday on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ta announced the resumption of assistance to the Mengwu tribe, and ordered the designation of the grassland between Dading and Linhuang as their resting place......
