Chapter 134: Zhao Xin Goes to the Wa Kingdom

Zhao Yan and Zhao Xin father and son took a carriage to Dading Mansion, and then transferred to the train from here all the way to Tokyo, the Great Song Dynasty is carrying out a national railway network project, mainly to Tokyo as a transportation hub, to build railways to important areas throughout the country, of which the railway from Tokyo to Liaodong has been built to Dadingfu, is preparing to build this section from Dadingfu to Linhuangfu, and finally this railway will reach Huanglongfu, so as to firmly control the entire Liaodong.

After these years of development, although the speed of the train is only faster than the horse, but the advantage is that it can move forward day and night, so the speed is naturally much faster than the carriage, a few days later Zhao Yan and they finally arrived at the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, but when they arrived, they had to get off the train, because the Yellow River and the Yangtze River could not build a bridge on the two moats, at least the current technology of the Great Song Dynasty could not be reached, so the train could not pass, so they could only build a railway station on both sides of the river, Specialized steamships were then used to transport people and goods on the train.

After crossing the Yellow River, Zhao Yan and they took the train to the capital again, it was already early autumn, Liaodong was already a little cool, but there were still autumn tigers raging near Kaifeng, Zhao Yan had to take off his thick clothes and put on light summer clothes in the car, and when the train arrived in the capital, Zhao Yan also immediately took Zhao Xin into the palace to see Zhao Xu.

"Third uncle, the Jin Kingdom has finally been destroyed, and you finally don't have to worry about things in the north!" When Zhao Xu heard that Zhao Yan was coming back, he personally came to the palace gate to greet him, and immediately shouted excitedly when he saw Zhao Yan.

"Yes, this trip was not in vain, and I finally fulfilled my wish for many years, and on the way back, I felt that my sleep was sweeter than usual!" Zhao Yan also smiled at this time, getting rid of the hidden danger of Jin Guo. He also felt relaxed, and he said that he slept more peacefully, and it was indeed not an exaggeration.

Zhao Xu also laughed when he heard this, and then pulled Zhao Xin and laughed: "Brother Xin, you are really a blockbuster, this time you can successfully destroy the Jin Kingdom, you have made the first contribution!" ”

"Hey, hey. I don't care about the credit or anything, Your Majesty, you just need to agree to a small request from me. Zhao Jia said with a smile at this time, although he was Zhao Xu's cousin, but in this kind of public occasion, he didn't dare to call Zhao Xu's cousin directly, after all, the etiquette of the monarch and the minister still had to be observed.

"Brother Xin, you don't want me to agree to send you to the enemy country to stir up trouble again, but I can't be the master, at least the third uncle must agree!" Zhao Xu was worthy of being one of the people who knew Zhao Xin best, and he guessed what his request was at once.

"Don't worry. I've already convinced my father on the way, now I just need your consent, and then order the Imperial City Division to fully cooperate with me!" Zhao Xin was full of confidence.

Zhao Xu also looked at Zhao Yan in surprise when he heard this, and at this time, he saw that Zhao Yan also nodded and said: "I do agree to this matter, but this is not the place to speak, let's go to the Vertical Arch Hall to discuss it in detail!" ”

At that moment, Zhao Yan and the three of them came to the Vertical Arch Hall together, because there were no outsiders, so Zhao Xu directly asked Zhao Yan and Zhao Xin to sit down. Then he asked Zhao Yan impatiently: "Third uncle, aren't you against Brother Xin running around." Why did you suddenly agree this time? ”

"Don't you know that your brother is cheeky, I shouldn't have agreed to him to enter the Imperial City Division in the first place, but now his skin is thicker, and he is pestering me with a dead skin and a rotten face, and I can't do it if I don't agree!" Zhao Yan deliberately damaged Zhao Xindao at this time, but his words were also half-truths and half-truths. The reason why he agreed to Zhao Xin to deal with this matter in person was that in addition to Zhao Xin's own request, he also felt that letting Zhao Xin harm the other party could be regarded as acting on behalf of him as a father.

"Third uncle, where is Brother Xin going?" Zhao Xu also asked a little impatiently when he heard this. It is said that there are no strong enemies around the Great Song Dynasty, and the Serzhu Turks in the west are strong enough, but they are too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and the race and skin color are not the same, so it is obviously a little inappropriate for Zhao Xin to go there.

"Wa Guo! My father agreed to let me go to the Japanese country! Zhao Xin was excited at this time and said first, although the Wa Kingdom is not a too powerful country for the Great Song Dynasty, and because they are island countries, there is no threat to the Great Song Dynasty, but after all, it is also a complete country, compared to Goryeo and Dali, so if you can turn the Wa Kingdom upside down with your own strength, it is also a great achievement.

"Wa country, what is the use of us coming to such a poor island country?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard this, he really didn't pay much attention to the Japanese Kingdom, he only knew that part of the Great Song Dynasty's maritime trade was to the north, and the main object of the northern trade was Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom, but the Japanese people were poor and the land was small, and the trading volume had not been able to go up, but Goryeo was developing rapidly, and the trading volume with the Great Song Dynasty was rising year by year, and now it has reached several times that of the Japanese Kingdom, so in Zhao Xu's heart, the Japanese Kingdom is just a poor country with no economic value.

"The Japanese are poor, but it's not that they don't have any value, it's just that the Japanese people are guarding Baoshan and don't know it......" Zhao Yan said that he was preparing to develop the eastern route, and the ocean current he said directly from Japan to the Americas was actually a part of the North Pacific Warm Current, which was later known as the Kuroshio, and after the ships entered this warm current, as long as they did not encounter too bad natural disasters, they could generally reach the Americas safely, and the starting point of this ocean current was located along the coast of the Japanese State.

After listening to Zhao Yan's analysis above, Zhao Xu also nodded in agreement and said: "I see, in addition to the Antarctica that is completely covered by ice and snow, only North and South America have not yet been arrived by our Great Song fleet, big brother, he wrote back last time, and said that he wanted to go directly to the Americas from Europe, but now it seems that we may arrive in the Americas a little earlier than big brother." ”

"What, Jia'er, he wants to go directly from Europe to America?" Zhao Yan shouted when he heard this, and his face showed an angry expression, because he often wrote letters to Zhao Jia, but he never heard him mention it, obviously Zhao Jia was deliberately hiding it from him.

"Huh? This ......" Zhao Xu also secretly screamed bad when he saw Zhao Yan's angry appearance, because he suddenly remembered that Zhao Jia asked him not to tell the third uncle about this matter when he wrote the letter, but just now he was about to say it, looking at the angry appearance of the third uncle, I am afraid that the eldest brother will have to suffer. (To be continued.) )
