Chapter 558 Of course Da Song can't go back
Now that Zhao Gou has made a decision, Tang Situi will naturally not object.

He repeatedly said yes, saying that he would do as Zhao Gou said, but he still had something to say.

He sighed feigned displeasure.

"This matter is not big or small, as long as there are not many people who know about it, then it will be dealt with in private, but Chen Kangbo publicly reported this matter to the official family, so those who know about it will be dealt with. Certainly a lot.

The matter of private salt is very sensitive in the DPRK and China. Once it happens, it is easy to cause trouble. This is still an incident involving the Restoration Army. If it is not handled properly, it may be another big storm. "

Tang Situi's words were very thorough, saying that if this matter was made a big deal by some stunners, so as to cause unhappiness and misunderstanding between the Guangfu Army and Song Dynasty, it would be Zhao Gou who would be embarrassed at that time.

I just signed a peace treaty with the Restoration Army, and suddenly there was a commotion because of this kind of unreliable matter, but what should I do?
Tang Situi knew very well that Zhao Gou didn't want to cause trouble again and just wanted to live a peaceful and happy life, so he deliberately said this and put eye drops on Chen Kangbo.

This eye medicine is really useful. After saying this, Zhao Gou's face turned a little darker.

Tang Situi was secretly complacent, feeling that he was a little closer to overthrowing Chen Kangbo.

Zhang Jun's voluntary withdrawal from the political battlefield was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. Tang Situi couldn't believe it at first, but this is the truth. After more than a month of back and forth with three resignations and three resignations, Zhao Gou finally asked Zhang Jun to resign.

Zhang Jun also handed over all power, withdrew from the political stage of the Song Dynasty, and went home to be idle.

Originally, after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the line between the main war faction and the main peace faction was blurred, but after Zhang Jun resigned, the main war faction fell into disrepair. Since then, there has been almost no military rhetoric about the north in the court, and everyone is discussing people's livelihood issues. .

Just live your own life well, why bother with so many useless things?
This made Tang Si Tui very satisfied.

Except that Chen Kangbo's voice was a bit harsh, asking Song Ting to rectify his armaments from time to time.

Zhang Jun left, and Chen Kangbo became the only Saisuke still willing to express his views on the northern issue.

Moreover, he was very dissatisfied with the seemingly equal peace treaty signed by Song Ting and the Restoration Army, and repeatedly criticized the peace treaty publicly or privately.

He felt that this peace treaty was very unfavorable to the Song Dynasty, but it was very beneficial to the Restoration Army, which urgently needed to pacify the Central Plains. It seemed to be equal, but it actually laid a hidden danger for the future.

He strongly suggested that the court change from inaction to action, rectify armaments, adjust policies, and not sit back and watch the Restoration Army settle the Central Plains like this.

The peace treaty was conducted under the auspices of Tang Situi. Chen Kangbo's criticism of the peace treaty meant that he was against Tang Situi, which made Tang Situi very dissatisfied.

This treaty is Tang Situi's proud work, and it has also been recognized by Zhao Gou.

Moreover, this is the first foreign equality treaty in the nearly 200 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty that does not require "gifting" old coins. This is an unprecedented diplomatic victory in the Song Dynasty!
You don't need to spend a single soldier, you don't need to spend a penny in military expenses, you don't need to give annual coins!
This is a diplomatic victory!

Do you, Chen Kangbo, understand what a diplomatic victory is?

For this reason, you have to rectify the armament and plan to go north. You are afraid that the Restoration Army will find you too pleasing to the eye and will not be your enemy, right?
Wouldn't you be reconciled if you didn't turn your strong northern neighbor into an outright enemy one day?
Tang Situi was very annoyed, so he deliberately wanted to expel Chen Kangbo from the imperial court, so as to make the imperial court more stable.

I didn't find an opportunity before, this time Chen Kangbo took the initiative to hand over the knife, how could he turn a blind eye to Chen Kangbo's "kindness"?

And by this time, Zhao Gou couldn't bear Chen Kangbo, who was becoming more and more "chaotic".

He wants to live a comfortable and stable life, he wants to enjoy happiness, but Chen Kangbo doesn't let him enjoy happiness.

Bastards!

Zhao Gou also decided to show Chen Kangbo some color, and told him to shut up completely!

So it didn't take long for Lin'an to pass the relevant orders to Chuzhou, and killing the smugglers suddenly became a political task.

After a period of negotiation among the heads of Chuzhou, some smugglers who had no background or weak background were out of luck.

They were caught and killed themselves, and the small backstage behind them fell, and became the scapegoat of the real big backer.

After these people were killed, the Chuzhou side could also face each other and keep the real direct line smugglers, seize more market share, secretly continue the smuggled salt business, make a lot of money, and be more happy .

Just be careful not to be discovered by the court people.

So in this turmoil, apart from the small private salt dealer and the small backer, the only unlucky person in the real sense is Chen Kangbo.

Because of this incident, Chen Kangbo was hated by Zhao Gou, and targeted by Tang Situi and Shen Gai. Not long after, he was attacked by Tang Situi because Chen Kangbo once again advocated for the consolidation of the military along the border.

"Not long after the peace treaty was signed, you have to rectify the military on your side. What will this make the Restoration Army think? Will they think that I am going to break the peace treaty? Song's reputation is damaged, what is your intention?"

Tang Situi led his party members to attack Chen Kangbo aggressively, causing a rhythm storm and losing Chen Kangbo's face.

Chen Kangbo felt very sad and angry about this, and tried his best to debate with Tang Situi and his henchmen, but he was never able to gain the upper hand.

Because he has never been able to produce valid evidence that the Restoration Army will be detrimental to the Southern Song Dynasty, but the Lord He faction has the decisive evidence of an equal peace treaty.

Chen Kangbo was helpless.

A few days later, Tang Situi instructed a large number of officials to impeach Chen Kangbo, and brought up some trumped-up issues to attack Chen Kangbo, which made Chen Kangbo very embarrassed.

At the end of February, the rumors about Chen Kangbo became more and more bizarre, and Chen Kangbo's situation was getting worse and worse, so Zhao Gou made a final decision at the right time.

The last Zaifu-level figure with an enterprising will was expelled from the court and the core of power, and the moderate conservatives took full control of the government.

Afterwards, all the main war factions who Zhang Jun brought in when he was in power were all transferred from Lin'an, and the governors of various prefectures were sent out to marginalize them.

It took the Southern Song Dynasty several months to complete the smooth transition from aggressiveness to prudence and conservativeness.

From then on, he no longer easily considers military affairs and going north, and indulges in the stability and happiness brought by peace.

The successive departures of Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo also dealt a severe blow to the once prosperous trend of the main battle among the people. Such opinions among the people quickly cooled down and disappeared. Only a few worried scholars sighed in the face of the north and felt that the Song Dynasty Can't go back after all.

Of course, Da Song couldn't go back, because Zhao Gou had already thought of quitting.

And when Zhao Gou had the idea of ​​retreating in his heart, it was when Su Yonglin was constantly striving to make progress, so the upper limit of the Restoration Army regime was constantly being raised by Su Yonglin.

After the time entered the new year, Su Yonglin arranged two consecutive population relocations, one of [-] households and the other of [-] households, all of which were relocated to Liaoyang Mansion.

Liaoyang Mansion is now ready for everything, only the population is lacking. As long as this wave of population transfer is completed, it can quickly enter the production state.

Although there are no cold-resistant and high-yield crops, the land of Liaodong is not as bitter and unbearable as imagined.

From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, many regional hegemonic regimes were born in the Liaodong region, which had a huge impact on the Central Plains regime. The so-called bitter cold is that the upper limit of the population is not as good as that of the Central Plains and Jiangnan, but it is not completely unable to carry the population.

Even if there is an oasis above the Gobi, it can also carry a certain population. As long as there is no excessive immigration and development, Liaodong can generate value on the basis of self-sufficiency and can support troops.

Of course, the real value of Liaodong may not be realized until the introduction of high-yield crops and the arrival of the industrial age.

What Su Yonglin has to do now is to let the Han people gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, expand their living space to Liaodong, control them steadily, and initially develop them, so as to achieve their achievements [since ancient times].

At the beginning of the new year, Su Yonglin gave an order to the Liaodong Corps, ordering the Liaodong Corps to launch a ploughing and acupoint-sweeping public security war centered on the three places of Linhuang, Liaoyang and Huining.

The main goal of the security war was to uproot the local Jurchen settlements, seize land, houses, livestock and other wealth, record them in public accounts and report them to the Central Capital, and then the Central Capital would decide the number of people to migrate to Liaodong based on these data.

He can indeed take out this part of the population.

Because there are still a lot of old bureaucrats and landlords in the area occupied by the Restoration Army, they still control a lot of land and have considerable economic strength.

This is something that cannot be ignored.

So Su Yonglin chose Liaodong as the destination to temporarily transfer the conflict, and resettled the floating population with little land and no land to Liaodong, in order to ease the class conflicts in Hebei, Shandong and Yanyun.

And it should be said or not, this strategy is also an outpost for the development of Liaodong. Much of the fertile land in Liaodong has not been developed, and development requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

In this regard, captured Jurchen accounts can play a huge role.

In order to develop Liaodong scientifically, rationally and efficiently, Su Yonglin set up a Liaodong Development Department in Liaoyang Prefecture.
