Chapter 178: The Imperial Raise Stirs
The years go by, the seasons change. The mutual market and agricultural exchanges between the Song Dynasty and Dajin continued like spring water, and the relationship between the two countries also deepened day by day in this continuous exchange. As the princess of the prison country, Zhao Yingluo has always paid close attention to the development of relations between the two countries, and she knows that peace and prosperity are not easy to come by, and they need to be cherished and maintained by the people of the two countries.
On this day, the Great Song Dynasty Hall once again ushered in guests from afar. An envoy from the Great Jin Kingdom, with a handwritten letter from the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, expressed his deep gratitude to Zhao Yingluo. The letter mentions that since the introduction of wheat seeds from the Great Song Dynasty, the agricultural production of the Jin Kingdom has made unprecedented progress, and the lives of the people have been greatly improved.
Zhao Yingluo finished reading the letter with a relieved smile on her face. She knows that this is not only a recognition of Dasong's agricultural technology, but also an affirmation of the friendly relations between the two countries. She said to the messenger gently: "Your Excellency, please tell your majesty that the Great Song Dynasty is willing to be friendly with the Dajin generation and prosper together. We are willing to continue to share agricultural technology and experience, and we hope that Daikin can cooperate with us in more areas. ”
When the envoy heard this, he nodded excitedly, indicating that he would definitely convey Zhao Yingluo's words to the Emperor of Jin. He is well aware that this visit has not only fulfilled his mission, but also laid a solid foundation for the further development of relations between the two countries.
With the envoy leaving, Zhao Yingluo fell into deep thought again. She understands that while the relationship between the two countries has made remarkable progress, there are still many challenges and tests. She needs to continue to work hard to discuss countermeasures with the courtiers to ensure peace and stability in the relationship between the two countries.
In the following days, Zhao Yingluo continued to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with Dajinguo. She sent envoys to the Jin Kingdom to learn advanced smelting techniques and medical knowledge, and also invited scholars and artists from the Jin Kingdom to come to the Great Song Dynasty to exchange scholarship and art. The cultural collision and integration between the two countries has brought more enlightenment and enjoyment to the people of the two countries.
At the same time, the agricultural production of the Great Song Dynasty also made new breakthroughs under the promotion of Zhao Yingluo. She advocated the promotion of advanced agricultural technology and management experience, and encouraged farmers to reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy and improve planting techniques. Thanks to her efforts, the level of agricultural production in the Great Song Dynasty continued to improve, and the lives of the people gradually became richer.
However, just as the relationship between the two countries was getting closer, a sudden disaster shattered the peace. There was a severe drought in the country, which led to food shortages and hardship for the people. After Zhao Yingluo learned the news, she immediately convened the courtiers to discuss countermeasures.
After some discussion, Zhao Yingluo decided to provide food aid to Jinguo and sent agricultural officials to Jinguo to guide the drought relief work. She is well aware that this aid is not only a support for the country, but also a consolidation and deepening of the friendly relations between the two countries.
Under the personal supervision of Zhao Yingluo, the food aid of the Great Song Dynasty was delivered to the Jin State in a timely manner. The agricultural officials also went deep into the fields to carry out drought relief work with the farmers of Jinguo. With the joint efforts of the people of the two countries, the drought in Jinguo has gradually been brought under control, and the lives of the people have gradually returned to normal.
This disaster made Zhao Yingluo more deeply aware of the importance of peace and friendship. She firmly believes that only when the people of the two countries work together and support each other can we jointly address various challenges and difficulties. She will continue to work hard to promote the development of bilateral relations and create more well-being and happiness for the two peoples.
History will continue to witness the friendly cooperation and common prosperity between the Great Song Dynasty and Dajin in the future. This friendship that transcends time and space will forever be engraved in the hearts of the people of the two countries and become their common fond memories and precious treasures. The situation suddenly changed, and many courtiers gathered again in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and discussions came and went. Although the drought in Jin was brought under control, relations between the two countries were strained over the ownership of the 16 states of Yanyun. After weighing the pros and cons, the Great Song Emperor decided to go to war against the Jin State and recapture this strategically important land.
Zhao Yingluo stood on top of the court, her face without the gentleness and calmness of the past. She is well aware that this war will bring great disasters to the people of the two countries, but she also understands that as the princess of the prison country, she has the responsibility to safeguard the interests and dignity of the country.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the homeland of my Great Song Dynasty, and their strategic position cannot be ignored. If it is occupied by the Jin State for a long time, it will pose a serious threat to the national defense and security of our Great Song Dynasty. The minister believes that we must take action to reclaim this land. ”
The emperor was silent for a moment, his gaze swept over the court, and finally nodded: "What the princess said is reasonable. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are indeed an indispensable part of my Great Song Dynasty. I have decided to go to war against the Kingdom of Jin and regain the lost territory! ”
With the emperor's decision, there was a chorus of echo in the court. However, Zhao Yingluo felt a heaviness. She knew that this war would bring untold suffering and suffering to the people of both countries. She silently prayed in her heart that the war would end as soon as possible and that the two peoples would return to peace and tranquility.
After the outbreak of the war, the army of the Great Song Dynasty quickly marched towards the sixteen states of Yanyun. On the battlefield, the iron cavalry galloping, the sword light and sword shadows are intertwined into a thrilling picture. The soldiers fought bravely and bloodily for the honor of the country and the dignity of the nation.
However, war is not as simple as it seems. The armies of the Kingdom of Jin were equally strong and tenacious, and they showed amazing combat effectiveness and determination on the battlefield. The armies of the two countries fought fiercely over the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and both sides paid a huge price.
Zhao Yingluo always paid attention to the development of the war situation, and her heart was full of worry and anxiety. She knows the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, and the pain and suffering that countless families will suffer as a result of it. She constantly prayed to God to bless the people of the two countries to survive this disaster and regain peace and tranquility.
In the smoke of war, the people of both countries have paid enormous sacrifices and costs. Countless heroic soldiers fell on the battlefield, and their blood stained the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun red. However, it is precisely in the midst of such suffering and sacrifice that the two peoples have also demonstrated the resilience of their national spirit and the strength of unity.
In the end, after arduous battles and countless heroic sacrifices, the Great Song army successfully recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun. The war ended with the victory of the Great Song Dynasty, but this victory was full of bitterness and heaviness. Zhao Yingluo stood on top of the court, looking at the soldiers who were wearing battle robes and stained with blood, and her heart was full of endless emotion and sorrow.
After the war, Zhao Yingluo immediately began to arrange for post-war reconstruction. She knows that it will take a lot of effort and time to bring this war-torn land back to life. She organized the people to build water conservancy, reclaim wasteland, restore production, and promote education and cultural exchanges, in order to make the sixteen states of Yanyun full of vitality again.
