Zhang Tao reclined on a high couch under the window of the study in the backyard, watching his son instruct his family to move the books off the shelves and put them in stacks of rattan bookcases.

Zhang Tao's complexion looked better than usual, and he was in good spirits. He smiled and said to his son Zhang Yin: "These books have followed me for half my father and son, and now it's time to return to the roots!" ”

Since Zhang Tao was a scholar, this Shangshu mansion naturally could no longer live, and the emperor gave him a small mansion for him to live in Lin'an.

Zhang Tao declined, he just wanted to return to his hometown as soon as possible to make fun of his grandson and enjoy the joy of the countryside.

Zhang Tao got up from the couch with a smile and greeted Wu Yang: "Little Lord Wu, the old man is sitting with hard bones, how about accompanying me to the garden for a walk?" ”

An old man and a young man went to the back garden of the house, there is a thatched pavilion in the garden, and there is a plaque of "thinking of danger" in Zhang Tao's handwriting on the pavilion, and there are stone tables and stone chairs under the pavilion.

Zhang Tao walked into the pavilion and sat down, Wu Yang hugged his fists and bowed and said, "Uncle, it's Shilang who has caused you!" ”

Zhang Tao pointed to the stone chair: "Sit down, what is not involved." These are the old man's own choices, how can there be no reason not to pay the price if you want to succeed! ”

Zhang Tao insisted on going his own way, almost forcing the emperor and the imperial court to send troops to rescue the East China Sea, and although he did not succeed in the end, he made the emperor make concessions and agreed that Wu Yang would privately take people to the East China Sea to rescue people.

Zhang Tao and the emperor, these two people with completely different political views also completely tore their faces, and the emperor slapped Zhang Tao hard by Zhishi, which was completely a kind of revenge!

If nothing else, Zhang Tao's political career is almost over!

Wu Yang pondered for a moment and asked, "Uncle is not planning to return to Lin'an?" ”

Zhang Tao sighed: "The old man's decaying beggar bones are not all excuses, since last year, most of the time when he can't sleep at night, and there are few days to sleep, this old bone has run out of oil and dried up!" ”

In fact, there is a more important reason, Zhang Tao did not say. The main battle faction of the matter of Lichu has a lot of strength, and even lost a Han Jiayan who plays a pivotal role in the court, but it was the main and faction that picked peaches in the end.

The emperor appointed Shi Hao as a professor of Jianwangfu, which is almost equivalent to giving him the title of "emperor", and in the future, the king will ascend the throne, relying on the status of teachers and students, Shi Hao will have a huge influence on the emperor, if Shi Hao is tougher, the emperor is weaker, it is no exaggeration to say that Shi Hao, the "emperor", will have the power to influence the court!

Who is Shi Hao? On the surface, he is also a person who refuses to give in to the Jin Kingdom and has the ambition to recover! But in reality he is a moderate man in politics, and he tends to maintain rather than aggressive. What he really agrees with is the current emperor's "peacekeeping Gou'an" set.

It is conceivable that once such a person is in power, the Great Song Dynasty will continue to uphold Zhao Gou's "peace-seeking" line, and in the next few decades, the main battle faction will have completely lost in the court!

Zhang Tao is really desperate!

They worked hard, paid so much energy and price, and in the end, the emperor just lightly dropped Shi Hao, and immediately and completely dissipated the weak victory they had won with great difficulty, and there was no hope even for decades!

Zhang Tao looked at Wu Yang: "Xiaoyou, the era of our hard work has passed, and the future Great Song Dynasty will depend on you." Taking advantage of the concessions that the emperor is making now, you don't want to do something? ”

Zhang Tao's "little friend" is a recognition of Wu Yang, even if there is no relationship with Wu Lan, he also recognizes that the young man in front of him has enough ability to sit on an equal footing with him and make friends with each other.

Wu Yang clenched his fists and asked for advice: "Please teach me Master Zhang!" ”

"I heard that the guards who went to the East China Sea with Xiaoyou were all removed from the emperor's military status, and Lord Xiao Wu didn't think about how to find a way to get ahead for his subordinates?"

This is also the problem of Wu Yang's headache.

After returning from Donghai County, the emperor did not give him any punishment except for drying Wu Yang for three days, but removed Yao Guang and the five people, including Changji, from the military status of the Imperial City Division, and completely assigned them to Wu Yang's personal guards. Several people were in the same army, and even because they had crossed the Ming Road, they were justifiably raised by the imperial court to support a few people for him.

The emperor is clearly telling him that your guards are loyal to you, and I can not pursue it, but it is impossible for them to go further in Lin'an!

Yao Guang and a few people took refuge in him and accompanied him to Donghai County to be born and die, how could they be willing to be just an ordinary personal guard in the Imperial City Sitidian Mansion for the rest of their lives?

Zhang Tao: "The old man heard that the fourth army is very short of quotas, and he has pulled people everywhere to enrich the army, and the emperor has agreed to train the pirates who are not guilty of death to be trained as an army, why don't you strive to become the commander of this new army, at that time, not only will you have a way out with your personal guards who are born and died, but we will also have a new army with superior combat power!"

Little friend, it's not that the old man is helping you. They have a stain on them, and they will be treated differently wherever they go, and later they will either mutiny or be consumed. Only if you lead them into an independent army, will our dynasty have a new army that can fight and win!

The old man is grateful to you on behalf of them, and also on behalf of Da Song! ”

After coming out of Shangshu Mansion, Wu Yang fell into deep thought.

He had heard of the pirates mentioned by Zhang Tao, and he had also heard Cao Lang mention it in the Yamen of the Sailor Master.

The year before last, the Emperor of Jin promulgated the "Law on Private Border Crossing Nation", which banned the land communication between the Song and Jin countries. Not to be outdone, the Great Song Dynasty immediately promulgated the "Sea Ban Order", stipulating that civilian ships are not allowed to go to sea, and all foreigners who are accidentally sent to the coast of the Great Song Dynasty by the tide under the pretext of encountering strong winds and waves outside the Great Song Dynasty will be dealt with in detail, and there is only one end: death!

Overturning a boatload of people with a rod can hurt those who eat by sea!

Maritime merchants, shipwrights, fishermen, etc., most of the maritime merchants continued, such as Gao Quan, at most life was a little tighter. The boatmen and fishermen at the bottom are different, and they are almost cut off.

One-third of the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty now come from the sea, and you can imagine how huge the groups affected by this are!

Many coastal people take risks and go to the sea privately, sometimes doing serious business, and by the way, they also do the black work of robbery, once they are caught, they will be punished as pirates!

Cao Lang once said to Wu Yang and Li Nanfeng: "In fact, the vast majority of them are ordinary people, and they are the pillars of the family, and it is useless to be imprisoned in the imperial court for a long time, and it is even more harmful to their families." Two adults, can you tell the emperor how about repenting and reforming those minor punishments and big commandments for minor crimes? ”

After returning to Lin'an, he and Li Nanfeng mentioned it to the emperor casually, but they didn't think that the emperor intended to train these prisoners into an army!

In Shangshu Mansion, when Wu Yang left, Zhang Yin said to Zhang Tao half-complainingly and half-funny: "Father, what are you doing with all this?" If you are heard by outsiders, it is inevitable that you will have to refer to you again, saying that you colluded with the ministers, plotted to seize military power, and had evil intentions! ”

Zhang Tao sighed and said: "Let's go, the old man wants to leave a spark for the court when he leaves." After today, I will never go back to my hometown in the countryside to farm and study! ”
