Chapter 201: Upward Spreading Confrontation (3)

"The official family, the envoy of the Wa State Shogunate specifically asked Zhao Naruto's surname was indeed given by the official family. We clearly informed the Wa Kingdom that Zhao Naruto was indeed given a surname by an official family. The section chief in charge of the affairs of the Wa Kingdom believed that Zhao Naruto's son, Zhao Boren, should also return to the Wa Kingdom to inherit the position of leader of the Iyo Naval Army. ”

"Zhao Mingren's son is in the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Jiaren was a little surprised. He only had an impression of Zhao Naruto, and Zhao Naruto's family affairs were completely out of Zhao Jiaren's consideration.

"Zhao Boren is a Song person." Foreign Minister Lu Baifeng hurriedly explained.

"Oh...... Song people. Zhao Jiaren was thoughtful.

Minister Lu Baifeng knew that it was impossible for the official family to bet any thoughts on a Japanese national, so he began to explain how Zhao Mingren exchanged military merits for the help of the military, leaving the whole family and children in the Great Song Dynasty. Without waiting for these people to finish speaking, Zhao Jiaren asked, "None of those who became Song people through this way believe in the Cross Religion and the True God Sect, right?" ”

"Uh......, did the official family care about such a thing just now?" Lu Baifeng asked very keenly.

"Yes." Zhao Jiaren replied: "The Crucifixion has a pope, and theoretically, all members of the Crucifixion must be loyal to the Pope. As for the Cult of the True God, it is only allowed to pretend to be obedient to the country where the believer is located as a last resort. Our Great Song Dynasty is not a country of the Cross Religion and the True God Religion, and these believers are potential traitors. Unless......"

Foreign Minister Lu Baifeng had never heard the Zhao Guanjia describe the enemy in such a way, and even the Mongols had never been so valued by the Zhao Guanjia, so he hurriedly repeated Zhao Jiaren's words, "Unless? ”

Unless all believers in the Great Song Dynasty believe that the Theosocratic Monarch grants, and adheres to this idea. Anyone who thinks that divine power is higher than the monarchy, and who believes that divine power is higher than the interests of the state, are all clear traitors and potential traitors. Anyone who says that religion and theocracy have nothing to do with the state is either a real fool or a real traitor who is bad to the bone. ”

Swallowing his saliva silently, Lu Baifeng felt that his forehead was a little damp. According to the latest political statements and the patriotic education implemented in the school, Zhao Guanjia is undoubtedly a good citizen who loves the country and the people. However, as a person in the upper echelons, they have seen the methods of the Zhao official family against the enemy.

"Official, this is not the responsibility of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not care about internal affairs, and this incident is originally talking about the affairs of the Japanese state. Lu Baifeng tried to break free from such an embarrassing situation.

"Hmm. The U.S. ...... should manage the matter for the U.S. immigration bureau to manage the population. It is true that it is not a matter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Minister Lu, what I just said is just a feeling, you don't have to take it to heart. "Zhao Jiaren has been in the United States for several years and is very familiar with the great immigration bureau of the evil American imperialists. This part brought Zhao Jiaren a lot of distress, but Zhao Jiaren felt that this was definitely a department worth learning from China.

After calling the secretary, Zhao Jiaren ordered: "Let the Minister of Justice come to see me." ”

After the secretary left, Zhao Jiaren continued the previous diplomatic topic, "You said before that you want to let the Iyo Navy get the status of the guardian of the four countries. How's it going? ”

Shikoku Island, one of the three islands of Wakuni, is a place where birds don't lay eggs, and Kyushu Island is much richer in comparison. Compared to Kyushu, which is too far south and relatively affluent, Shikoku Island is a simple task to reach the key areas of Honshu Island. The goods of the Great Song can fully enter Honshu Island with the help of Shikoku's good geographical location. Silver from all over the country also had the opportunity to flow into the Great Song Dynasty like a surging river. This is exactly what Zhao Jiaren aims to.

"The king of the Wa Kingdom intended to do so, and the important ministers of the Wa Kingdom of Heian Castle were already willing, but the people of the Kamakura Shogunate were unwilling to do so. I'm afraid that this matter will continue to drag on. The minister asked Zhao Naruto to go back, but he was already old and frail, and he was afraid that he would not live long. ”

"Oh. Since the Kamakura shogunate didn't agree, our side will help them. Is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs capable of pushing the shogunate to send troops to crusade against the Iyo Navy behind the scenes? ”

Lu Baifeng asked in surprise, "Why is this?" ”

"The big reason why things can't be pushed off for a long time is that the various forces involved in it have reached a state of equilibrium at this time. If you want things to change, you often need to break this equilibrium first. Zhao Jiaren recounted. Speaking of this, he regretted it a little, if Zhao Qian was working as a secretary to Zhao Jiaren at this time, such a living case happened to be a good education.

However, after regretting it for a moment, Zhao Jiaren gave up this idea again. He never thought that he was a genius who was not born in the world, if Zhao Jiaren could figure it out, Zhao Qian would definitely be able to figure it out. Now Zhao Jiaren has only one expectation for Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian can become a materialist as soon as possible.

The expression on Lu Baifeng's face continued to change slightly, which showed that the path pointed out by Zhao Jiaren had a big impact on his heart. After thinking for a moment, Lu Baifeng asked, "Official, if the shogunate army is defeated and no one dares to contact the Iyo naval army again, what should we do?" ”

"According to historical experience, the Jin State defeated the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty had to negotiate peace with the Jin State. The Mongols hit the Jin State hard, and the Jin court was unable to resist it, so it gave many forces a lot of power to fight against the Mongols on their own. As a result, those forces switched to the Jin State. Mongolia is going south, and there are many people on our side who are in contact with Mongolia, and there are many rumors that they are trying to get the troops on both sides to strike and repair. There are so many cases that I can't support your opinion. ”

Lu Baifeng's gaze became very firm, and he said decisively: "Understood." ”

"But you don't have to give up diplomatic efforts completely, you just tell the envoy of the Kamakura Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom directly, and our Great Song Dynasty is happy to see Zhao Naruto become the guardian of the Four Kingdoms of the Wa Kingdom."

Not long after the foreign minister left, Justice Minister Ding Fei arrived in front of Zhao Jiaren.

"In the future, there will be more and more vassal states and colonies in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty needs to establish an immigration bureau to manage the affairs of the flow of feudal and colonial populations to the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Jiaren said as he threw a cigarette to Ding Fei.

"It's hard for the government to let the immigration bureau be managed by the Ministry of Justice?"

"Yes. The interaction between people is an emotional thing, and no matter how hard the heart is, it is impossible for a person to be without feelings. When the moment comes, you don't want to let some people go with your own life. Therefore, immigration affairs cannot be managed by human feelings, and this kind of thing must be regulated and managed by strict laws. ”

When Zhao Jiaren said this, he first drew the target and then shot the arrow. USCIS is part of the U.S. Department of Justice. The enforcement of immigration law rests with the Attorney General, but the Attorney General usually delegates authority to the Immigration Department, so the Immigration Bureau becomes the core enforcement agency of immigration law, which is responsible for handling immigration and non-immigrant applications, the entry and exit of aliens, border patrols, arrest and deportation of illegal aliens, refugee review, punishment of illegal employment, etc.

When he was in the United States in the 21st century, Zhao Jiaren was an immigrant but not a naturalized citizen, and the U.S. Immigration Bureau left a deep impression on him. Even if it is shooting arrows first and then drawing targets, all Zhao Jiaren can think of is ruthless law enforcement.

After listening to Zhao Jiaren's description, Ding Fei was a little absent-minded. After being silent for a while, he responded: "What the official family said is, who knows who will meet in this life." ”

When it comes to this topic, Zhao Jiaren thinks of the group of virgins in his heart. He said unhappily: "If it is true and completely personal, then it will be enough." But some people just want to show themselves, want to prove that they are capable, and they are talking nonsense. The more this kind of scum, the more others are required to sacrifice and sacrifice. ”

"Huh. Aren't literati who don't go to war the most fond of commenting on war? Ding Fei echoed.

Zhao Jiaren himself was crawling on the battlefield, and he was still a literati, so he really couldn't laugh at this. Can only grin bitterly. Then I heard Ding Fei say briskly: "But I don't know what the government's concept of establishing an immigration bureau is." ”

"The Great Song Dynasty is the Great Song Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty people, and this land must of course ensure the life, culture, and traditions of the Great Song people. There are many excellent people in this world, and we welcome those people to come to Dasong. But except for those who are one in a hundred, one in a thousand, and one in a thousand, the rest of the people let them live in their own country. We also want to leave those people a country for them to live in. ”

Setting up a department is not simple, it requires a whole set of procedures and related discussions. Zhao Jiaren, as the person who raised it, first greeted Ding Fei, and then ordered the office to start the process. After only dealing with a few things, it was already afternoon. The military department was the last group of people to be arranged to meet today, and the secretary of the general office immediately came to ask: "Official, do you want to make arrangements?" ”

"Arrange dinner."

Even his own dinner was settled, and Zhao Jiaren talked calmly about work with the guys in the military department.

"The troops have already set off according to plan." Li Yun's expression was more serious. Many people thought that they could conquer Horin in one fell swoop last year, but they did not achieve their goal. This year, Song Jun has opted for a more radical policy.

"How many troops have been dispatched?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

"Thirty thousand cavalry were dispatched, and each cavalry was two Arab horses, and although the Arabian horses were fast, they were squeamish." The Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of this regard had some concerns.

Zhao Jiaren was relieved: "Although the Mongolian horse is a native breed of the Mongolian steppe, technology is better than everything. The Arab Marco in our army has been vaccinated with various vaccines. I've heard from institutions that study veterinary vaccines that they have entered the study of the vaccine expiration period. ”

Da Song New Horse Farm raises horses scientifically and breeds scientifically. Pure Arabian horses began to multiply rapidly. The height and speed of this horse are far superior to that of Mongolian horses. The horses were not as good as the Mongols, and the excuse was not to even think about it, which made some people more cautious. But even the Zhao Guan's family is so tolerant, and these guys who are half-truths and half-truths crying and complaining about difficulties don't dare to gain an inch anymore. The guys in the military department know that there are many unexpected factors in the war, and a large part of the victory depends on the Song army's understanding of the war and the corresponding preparations. The guys in the military department know better that it was the Zhao Guanjia who taught these to the generals and the whole army. It may be possible to deceive the Zhao Guanjia in a short period of time, but when the truth is soon revealed, they can only bear the consequences for themselves.

"The snow on the steppe has almost melted, and our army is moving not along the station, but along the main Mongolian river." These people describe the current situation.

Zhao Jiaren listened carefully, and he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart. Under Zhao Jiaren, the Song army relied on a military station in thirty miles to form a war system, which was invincible in the territory of the Han people. But after the customs exit, the situation changed greatly, and the Mongols on the steppe could suddenly gather tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, or suddenly hundreds of miles of desolate people.

The large number of enemies will make it difficult for the Song army to deal with it. The troops were small, and the assembled Song army was like a fist in the air, wasting its strength in vain. The latest battle plan was dug out of the pile of old papers in Youzhou. The Liao State once ruled the desert, but the Liao State was destroyed for more than a hundred years, and there was basically nothing left.

The Mongols destroyed the Jin country very completely, but the Jin country is a country with classics and records, and there are always some documents that have slipped through the net. Whether it is the records of the Jin State or the records of the Liao State, a large number of them do not talk about marching and fighting, but only tell that every time the envoys of the Liao State or the Jin State go to the grassland, they walk along the river. Along the way, the steppe tribes offered all kinds of tributes. After the relevant departments studied it, Luo Yiren, who was working in the Ministry of Rites at the time, wrote a report questioning why the important tribes of Mongolia were waiting for the envoys of the Liao or Jin states by the river. Are the Mongol tribes afraid of Liao and Jin to this extent?

After Zhao Jiaren saw this, he felt that his mind was opened. When Zhao Jiaren was just a literati, he really thought that there was a 'rule from above'. When Zhao Jiaren got his hands dirty, he knew that the really useful regulations were all to make it more convenient for grassroots workers to work. From this line of thought, it was not that the Jin State asked the main Mongolian tribes to go to the river, but that the Mongolian tribes were going to drive their cattle to the river.

“…… It was determined after research. The marching ability of our army, as well as the level of logistical support, are higher than those of the Mongol tribes. The weight of an arrow in the Mongol tribes generally exceeded 50 grams. The weight of one round of ammunition in our army is about 5 grams. The Mongols carried 20 arrows and were probably able to fight a battle. Our army carries the same weight of bullets, 200 rounds, and there are no problems in fighting 2-3 battles. In fact, there has not been a single real battle in which a single soldier is capable of firing more than 50 rounds. The number of bullets carried by our troops on the march is six hundred rounds, which is enough for the troops to continue fighting for a month......"

The description of the war on the part of the Song Army Staff is also very simple, but it is a little cumbersome. But they didn't dare not make it clear to Zhao Guan's family this time, and when they told it, these people also secretly looked at Zhao Guan's family. It can be seen that Zhao Jiaren, as a senior soldier and the commander of the Great Song Dynasty, listened to the report very carefully.

When I finished talking about a bunch of things, it was time for dinner. Zhao Jiaren was about to let everyone eat, but someone from the army hurriedly ran to deliver an urgent telegram. After Li Yun read it, he immediately reported, "Official, our army encountered a large number of Mongolian troops on the way to march along the river two days ago, and the two sides went to war. ”

"Good." Zhao Jiaren smiled. It is good to fight, and the only way to deal with Mongolia is to exterminate it. When there is nothing left on the grassland, the Great Song Dynasty can arrange production according to the most scientific method very freely. Looking at those guys who couldn't help but be anxious, Zhao Jiaren smiled: "You don't need to worry. Anyway, we just know such a piece of news, and there is no other way than to guess. When I finish eating, I go back and say whatever I want while eating. When everyone says this, others hear it. Air-to-air, don't care about anything. ”

After listening to Zhao Jiaren's words, some soldiers couldn't help but laugh dryly. Although Zhao Guanjia's words didn't sound so serious, they were very serious and asked everyone not to panic. Li Yun didn't laugh, he knew that the Zhao Guanjia could still laugh now, which meant that he didn't care too much. When the Zhao Guanjia stopped saying these words, that was when the Zhao Guanjia wanted to see if the people in the army could improve themselves in the war, and those who were unqualified would be eliminated.

During the meal, Li Yun didn't say a word, wiped his mouth with a paper towel after eating his share, then got up and went to the sink to wash his hands, and after tearing off the paper towel to wipe his hands, Li Yun immediately returned to the military headquarters. Zhao Guanjia did not have such complete information as the military department here, and according to the previous battle plan, it could be judged where the Song army had encountered the enemy.

Hangzhou was nervous about the news two days ago, and in the darkness of the night, the Mongolian tribes were crying. These tribes had to drive their winter cattle to the river in the spring, every year. They knew that the stronghold of the Song army was far south of the tribe, so they rushed to the beginning of spring as before. By the familiar river, they saw the unfamiliar Song army brigade going up the river. As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Song army immediately launched a fierce attack on the Mongol army. The Mongol tribes did not lose too many people, but many cattle and horses were robbed.

In the last few days, more and more tribes began to assemble. The snow has melted, and the cattle and sheep can no longer lick the snow to quench their thirst. People can control themselves with ideas, and the cattle and sheep smell the moist smell in the air, and they can't help but go to the river. Although it was known that this was not a good time to go to war, the battle broke out with great reluctance on the part of the Mongol tribes.

The fierce fighting lasted for two days, and the cries of the Mongol tribes echoed in the night. In order to save their livestock, the men of those tribes bravely threw themselves into the war, and the Song army was initially conservative, only harassing their Mongol cavalry with musket shots. When the Song army raised the huge object that could float into the air, they condescended to see the Mongol cavalry pinning down the Song army with small troops, driving cattle and sheep to drink water in places that the Song army could not see. Once the cattle and sheep have drunk enough water, they can hold on for a few days. At that time, everyone could completely avoid the fierce Song army.

Then the Song army immediately changed its tactics, and their cavalry began to fight the Mongol cavalry along the river. In order to keep the herd, the Mongol athletes could only engage the Song army head-on. The Song army was far away and struck with muskets, and when it was close, it was slashed with extremely sharp sabers. One by one, the Mongolian athletes returned to the embrace of Immortality. What's even more tragic is that even at such a great price, the herd still failed to keep it and was taken away by the Song army in groups.
