The Goryeo envoy stood up, his forehead bruised, and bowed to Zhao Hong on the throne.

"The foreign minister thanked the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"Goryeo envoy, you don't have to say much, step aside first, I have my own decision!"

Zhao Hong said softly, and the Goryeo envoy hurriedly thanked him and stood aside.

The Dongxia envoy's face was ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

He vaguely felt that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was not kind to him and seemed to favor Goryeo.

Think about it, Goryeo and the Song Dynasty are of the same kind of culture, and they call themselves "Little China", the son of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, is close to Goryeo, and alienated from Eastern Xia.

"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the Tatars were ferocious, civilians were killed, cities were turned into ruins, and fertile fields became wasteland. Now, the Tatar army is ready to move, and it seems that it is about to invade westward. The only one who could defeat them was the invincible Song army. Please also send troops to defeat the Tatar army! ”

The envoy of Khorezm came out, stroked his chest and saluted.

Zhao Hong nodded slightly, his heart moving slightly.

Every time the Mongol army went out, it was to plunder more supplies, even if it was to invade Xia Vajin in the south. Now that the southward movement has been frustrated, it is estimated that he wants to compensate for the westward expedition again.

At this time, the Northern Expedition seemed to be a good time.

Of course, even if the Great Song Dynasty sent troops, it was only a northern expedition to restore the old land, and it was impossible to send troops thousands of miles away.

The Great Song Dynasty does not seem to have such national strength and confidence.

"Great Song Emperor, please fight against the Tatars!"

"Great Song Emperor, please fight against the Tatars!"

Da Shi and the envoys of other countries came out one after another, saluting and pleading with Zhao Hong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Great Dynasty, don't talk about state affairs. Please come back to your seats and drink and celebrate the festive season together! ”

Prime Minister Jin Deok-so quickly stood up and picked up his wine glass.

On the day of the Great Dynasty, it was all about dealing with the Tatars. Isn't that a joke?

On the throne, Zhao Hong was still smiling and silent, watching the performances of the envoys of various countries below.

Please tell your story, please start your performance.

The ministers and envoys quarreled, and the Great Song Dynasty became the savior of saving the world, and his hidden ambition for the unification of China was also ignited.

Once upon a time, he felt that he was a little lost, a little tired of power struggles, sinister hearts, and battlefield killings.

Now his blood is boiling and he seems to have recovered again.

The original intention is still there, and the original intention of letting the Great Song Dynasty, the Han dynasty, re-establish itself on the top of the world is still there. There is no need for these guys to talk nonsense, the Great Song Dynasty will also rise up and restore the country that belongs to the Han people.

At the very least, under the iron hoof, the scene of a sharp decline in population will not be allowed to appear again.

Life is already too short, who have they offended those people who have lived too hard and tired?

"Truth, I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of being undertaken. The Tatar army is ready to move, and the iron cavalry will trample on our land, and then Goryeo will be in ruins, rivers of blood, and the country will be ruined. You say, "Do I still have the heart to drink here?" ”

It was the Goryeo envoy again, who knelt on the ground and couldn't stand it, so he spoke out first, and then kowtowed to Zhao Hong.

"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the survival of Goryeo is related to the front line, please save the people of your subject country!"

The Goryeo envoy's standard Chinese language made Zhao Hong feel very cordial for a moment.

Belong to the people of the country, the same language and the same species?

In Goryeo in this era, everyone is proud of speaking Chinese, and the sense of belonging to Han culture is not too strong.

Compared with the things that were created after the 40s of the 20th century, the Chinese dialect sounds comfortable.

My China, why are you in decline?

Did you know that your people are still suffering?

"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the Tatars are ferocious, once the iron horse marches westward, there will be rivers of blood and corpses all over the field, please save us!"

The envoys of the Great Food countries, including Khorezm, all kinds of rituals, a variety of dialects, all kinds of mouths, and speeches.

Looking at their appearance, it seems that under the whole world, only the savior of Da Song can save them from suffering.

On the other hand, the countries of the South Seas, such as the Bo Ni Kingdom, the Ma Yi Kingdom, and the Delhi Kingdom of India, all did not say a word, as if they were watching a play from the sidelines.

There are also the envoys of the Ayyubid Dynasty, who are still smiling and calm, as if watching the fire from the other side.

Perhaps, privately, this guy will come and talk about digging the canal. Millions of taels were collected for nothing, and there were three to fifty percent of the canal tariffs, and these Egyptian slave owners should be satisfied.

"Your Majesty, today is the New Year's Day, and it is not appropriate to discuss state affairs at the time of the General Assembly. Ladies and gentlemen, what you do is a bit noisy and difficult for strong people! ”

Prime Minister Jin Deok-so hurriedly stood up and played.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition is a major military event, and besides, the Jin State has not been destroyed, and it is hindered by the side. Although the Tatars were defeated in Shaanxi, they were not yet injured, and their military might was still strong. Please also consider Your Majesty, don't be impulsive! ”

Wei Liaoweng, the secretary of the military department, also walked out at this moment and said to Zhao Hong.

The world is so big, the Song people's own homeland has not been recovered, how can they save the world?

Don't be impulsive!

Wei Liaoweng's words made Zhao Hong smile softly, and his gaze unconsciously looked at the military generals and ministers in the main hall.

These people have been in the border for a long time, especially the military generals, all of them are arrogant and fearless, listening to their words, you may have different opinions from Wenchen.

"Your Majesty, recovering the lost land and restoring the Central Plains is the voice of thousands of people in my Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, if our army dies down, won't the Tatar army go south to attack our Great Song Dynasty? Six years ago, the Dinghai Change, two years ago, the Battle of Xinmao, the Tatars were all undeclared wars, and our Great Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians suffered countless casualties. Only by driving the Tatar forces out of the Central Plains can our Great Song Dynasty have long-term peace and stability! ”

Sure enough, Cao Youwen walked out with a black face, with a dignified appearance, majestic style, and generosity.

This unsmiling macho man, the historical "Cao Daring", full of family and country feelings, can't be stopped.

"Your Majesty, now that the border of the Great Song Dynasty has bordered Tatar, it is absolutely impossible to live in peace. Now that the elite of our Great Song Dynasty border army, the soldiers are eager to fight, and the six armies are life-threatening, it is better to go on a northern expedition to restore the Central Plains, which is a positive policy. Your Majesty, please think again! ”

The pacification of Hexi Road made Fan Zhong's dark and thin face solemn, and his voice echoed in the main hall.

Zhao Hong was slightly surprised. This Fan Zhong has been an official in the border for a long time, and he is used to seeing bloody storms, this courage is not ordinary.

Shaanxi is in ruins and devastation, can it support a Northern Expedition?

In other words, can Shaanxi support the grain and grass transfer of the Western Route Army of the Northern Expedition?

"Your Majesty, please also order the Northern Expedition to restore the Central Plains, and the ministers are willing to be the vanguard, remove the filth for the world, and return the world to a bright and prosperous world!"

Lu Wende, the commander of Lizhou West Road, also came out and spoke generously.

After seven years, this guy has grown a beard, matured a lot, and is more powerful.

"Your Majesty, give an order!"

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the three armies are waiting for Your Majesty to wave the Northern Expedition!"

Wang Jian, Meng Heng and other generals were all impassioned, and they all stood up and hugged their fists to ask for orders, and everyone scrambled to be the first.

In a big battle in Hanzhong, all the generals fought bloodily, and no one in the palace flinched, and no one was afraid of fighting.

Wei Liaoweng, the secretary of the military department, wanted to stop it, but when he saw Zhao Hong's eyes showing appreciation, he seemed to be bowing his head slightly, and under hesitation, he came out to play and changed his words.

"Your Majesty, the country of Tatars, tigers and wolves, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and taking plunder as the national policy, is a big trouble for my Great Song Dynasty, and I will have to deal with it sooner or later. Preemptively, then preemptively. The minister seconded General Cao, and used troops against the Tatars earlier to restore the Central Plains to prevent future troubles! ”

War is fought with national strength and logistics. The Great Song Dynasty had sufficient grain and grass, strong soldiers and horses, new firearms were successively equipped in the army, and the morale was in full swing, so there seemed to be no reason to retreat.

"The minister seconded General Cao!"

"The minister supports the Northern Expedition, and the minister seconds General Cao!"

"The minister also supports the Northern Expedition!"

Zhao Hong glanced at the ministers and generals in the palace, and the ministers responded very little, and the generals walked out one after another to ask for orders.

One after another, one victory after another, made these generals of the Great Song Dynasty border army all fanatical warmongers. Not to mention, the restoration of the Central Plains, a state affair that will go down in history.

"Your Majesty, only by restoring the Central Plains can we send troops to Liaodong and the Western Regions! Your Majesty, don't hesitate and give up halfway! ”

Meng Heng's voice sounded, impassioned, the ministers were surprised, and Zhao Hong couldn't help but sigh.

If you hesitate, you can give up halfway?

The Central Plains and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have not yet been recovered, and they already want to get involved in Liaodong and the Western Regions, and Meng Heng's courage is not small.

"Your Majesty, Shaanxi has just been pacified, thousands of miles of people are uninhabited, thieves are rampant, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and the people are lacking. At this moment, if it is a Northern Expedition, I am afraid that there will be no food and grass, and the post road will not be passable, and it will be difficult to support the Northern Expedition of the army! ”

The new Shaanxi pacification made Chen Longzhi come out and play loudly.

To restore the two rivers, the army of the West Road must pass through Shaanxi. Shaanxi has only returned for a year, and the local area has not yet recovered, and it is probably enough to provide food and grass for the Northern Expedition army.

Chen Longzhi's words made the hustle and bustle in the hall noisy, and it suddenly quieted down.

"Your Majesty, last year there were also floods and droughts in various parts of the south. There is a great flood in eastern Zhejiang, a great drought in Jiangxi, and the rebels in Guangdong are in turmoil, the people's livelihood is withering, and the Quartet is not quiet. At this moment, the Northern Expedition may not be enough to support it. Your Majesty think twice! ”

After a while, Li Zongmian also played in the middle of the imperial history.

Although he knew that his opinion did not hold water. But the sword soldiers are ominous, so don't act rashly.

"Your Majesty, the northern land is ruined, the population is only two or three million, even if the Northern Expedition is successful, not to mention the blood of the soldiers, it will be filled with immigrants from Jianghuai, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be sent to defend it. Spending tens of millions of dollars to get a devastated land, what good will it do to my Great Song? My Great Song Dynasty has frequent internal troubles and lack of national strength, Your Majesty must not use troops in a hurry! ”

Wu Yuan, the servant of the ministry, finally spoke.

Zhao Hong glanced at the elder brother of Wu Qian, the commander of the Great Song Water Division, and snorted coldly in his heart.

These Jiangnan doctors, many of whom are interested in interests and have no country in their hearts, have finally jumped out now.

The son is not ugly. A devastated land, that is the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, the barrier of the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty.

Do you have to look at the old land in the north every day, moan without illness, or wash your face with tears?

"Your Majesty, the Tatars are powerful, the cavalry is galloping vertically and horizontally, and the border of my Great Song Dynasty is too long, and the Tatars can break into the country at will. Now the Jin people are still in Henan, and the constraints are on the side. It is better to restore Sanjing first, and then slowly go on a northern expedition. ”

Zou Yinglong, the ruling minister, played cautiously and pointed directly to the restoration of the Central Plains.

The emperor's courage is too great, and with a wave of his hand, it is the land of thousands of miles of land in the two rivers. In case of failure, the future of the Great Song Dynasty is unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, soldiers, the affairs of the country, you must not act in a hurry!"

"Your Majesty, the northern land is dilapidated, and the rash use of troops makes it difficult to sustain the heavy grain and grass. Your Majesty is cautious! ”

The ministers played one after another, and the hall was full of chatter.

The envoys of all countries looked at each other, and many people's eyes were on Zhao Hong on the throne.

Perhaps, whether to go on the Northern Expedition or not, only this great Song emperor on a high seat can make a decision.

"Your Majesty, today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, which is to congratulate the Son of Heaven and the world. The Northern Expedition is a state affair, and the matter is too big to discuss later. A hasty decision is not the work of a wise saint! ”

Zhen Dexiu is another courtesy, abiding by his duty as the prime minister.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of the Northern Expedition will be discussed after the court meeting. Please take a seat and celebrate the festive season! ”

Wei Liaoweng said loudly, persuading the envoys of various countries to restore order.

"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the Tatars may use troops at any time, please send troops to fight the Tatars!"

"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, now the countries are in decline, and only the Great Song Dynasty can resist the Tatars. Ask the Great Song Emperor to send troops and attack Tatar in the north! ”

The envoys of the countries clamored one after another, and the hall was full of gossip and chaos.

"Envoys, all the ministers, listen to me!"

Zhao Hong raised his head, looked at the envoys and courtiers in the hall, and said aloud.

Silence immediately returned to the temple, and there was silence for a moment.

Zhao Hong looked at everyone and said loudly, full of energy, spreading far and wide in the hall.

"Envoys, all the kings, you can rest assured, Tatar is a big trouble for my Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty and Tatar are in danger, and they will definitely distinguish between winning and losing. In the case of the Northern Expedition, I will carefully consider it, dispatch troops, transfer grain and grass, and make my own decisions in the future. ”

He will not express his position immediately, but it is still necessary to give peace of mind to all countries.

The Mongolian iron cavalry galloped across the country, murderous and murderous, and made the world fearful.

Da Song will do his best to protect himself. The reason why I say this is also to give all countries hope and confidence to fight against Mongolia.

And the military spirit is available, which is his greatest strength.

"Great Song Tianzi Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The envoys of the full hall, whether it is Dashi and other places or Dali, including Goryeo and Dongxia, all salute together.

When the Great Song Dynasty, when the soldiers were in full swing, the Great Song Emperor didn't say, and they couldn't ask. But based on the attitude of the Great Song Emperor towards Mongolia, the Northern Expedition seemed inevitable.

"Envoys, you and I can work together to fight the Tatars. At that time, my Great Song Dynasty will go north to recover the lost territory, and I will need the help of all countries. I hope that when the time comes, I will not refuse. ”

Zhao Hong smiled kindly, and his gaze swept to the messengers.

Diplomatic big talk, who will not say.

Not to mention anything else, if you want to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, you have to Dongxia and Goryeo to contain the main force of the Mongol army in Liaodong.

"I'm waiting for the Great Song Dynasty to be the head!"

Envoys from various countries shouted one after another, and hurriedly stood in line to express their attitude.

As for those who did not express their stance and had nothing to do with themselves, they were also seen by Zhao Hong.

"Envoys, colleagues, please!"

Zhao Hong said goodbye and left, and Zhen Dexiu, on behalf of the Song Dynasty, invited the ministers.

"Please!"

The envoys of various countries and Song Chen all raised their glasses and drank freely, enjoying themselves, but they all had their own thoughts.
