Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 461 Moving to the South 13
"Why is Zichu silent? Could it be that he is thinking?" Seeing that Zhang Qiyuan was silent, Li Gang felt a little impatient. Zhang Qiyuan gave him the impression of elegance and calmness, and he would never have any worries or hesitation.

Zhang Qiyuan's face was pained, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, how can I not hate that all the family affairs are in the hands of the captives, but we must put the overall situation first. The emperor Nanxing is good for the situation, so I have no objection. Even if Wang Xiu has differences You have the same thoughts, but the solution to the problem lies in the temple, and Mr. Xianggong is not without a fight, don’t force him to try to make money, and the officials will suffer at that time.”

Li Gang was taken aback, he knew that Zhang Qiyuan's wife and son had been taken away by the Jurchens, and now they were alive or dead, and their hometown was also ravaged by the Jin army.Especially the appearance of the sentence Tuqiong dagger made him deeply feel Zhang Qiyuan's sincerity, and he couldn't help sighing: "I'm sorry for the first day, your wife will ask slowly, and I believe the Han family will do their best."

A gloomy light flashed in Zhang Qiyuan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, the emperor Nanxing is inevitable. I don't want my husband to fight against the world and lose someone who can check and balance Wang Xiu. I also hope that my husband will put the country and society first."

Li Gang looked at Zhang Qiyuan in amazement, his eyelids were full of sincerity, he was strongly touched for a while, and then fell silent, knowing Zhang Zichu!Gradually give birth to the idea of ​​making friends with each other.

Zhang Qiyuan's eyes flickered, knowing that he was recognized by Li Gang.Wang Xiu has grown to the point where he can't resist, and Zhao Gou can't rely on him anymore. This king seems to give up resistance and never dare to risk the world's disgrace, which makes him very disappointed. In his opinion, Zhao Gou fought hard. Like Shaanxi, there is no chance that there is no chance to compete for supremacy in the world, but it is a pity that it was easily given up, and everything has returned to the original point.

Now, he needs to pull up a team that can fight against Wang Xiu. Li Gang is undoubtedly the best choice for the time being. At least until he has the ability to challenge Wang Xiu, Li Gang is a good use.Most importantly, he saw from Wang Xiu's voluntary abstention that no one wanted to disrupt the existing order, and political struggle was still the mainstream.

Leaving aside the changes in the government and the opposition for the time being, some ministers are uncertain about the direction of the situation. Many rich people have prepared in private. Once the situation changes, they will run south with their families. Absolutely.

Wang Xiu's mansion and study

There was a sound of broken porcelain, and Zong Liang led Li Bao and Shangguan Qian to the door.

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Wang?" Since Li Bao followed Wang Xiu, he always saw Wang Xiu's demeanor was gentle and elegant, and he looked like a god in battle, and he never saw anything smashed.

Zong Liang shook his head, and said softly: "Since Mr. has seen Niangniang, his complexion is not quite right, so he shut himself in the study." Speaking of which, Li Bao should also understand why Wang Xiu got angry.

Li Bao and Shangguanqian's faces were stunned. Thinking of Wang Xiu's abandonment of military power, it seemed that the young queen mother had a lot of means, and Wang Xiu was obviously embarrassed.

"Sir, Li Taiwei and Shangguan Taiwei are here." Zong Liang gently knocked on the door twice, his voice raised slightly,

"Hurry up please."

Li Bao and Shangguan Qian came in, saw Wang Xiu greeted him, and both saluted him.

At this moment, Wang Xiu was already smiling, and said in a gentle voice, "Just now I accidentally broke a teacup, please sit up, both of you!"

Li Bao and Shangguanqian didn't say anything, but he still sensed a restless anxiety behind Wang Xiu's smile.

Zong Liang finished tidying up and went out gently to close the door. A maid had already served tea.

"Brother Zigui, brother Jing, you two went south early to hand over the affairs of the navy. The journey will be tough." Wang Xiu, Li Bao and Shangguanqian went through life and death, and they spoke very close.

"In the day after tomorrow, the last general will go south with Uncle Jing to take over the right side of the Tiger Wing ship." Li Bao was naturally satisfied that he could return to his old job.

Shangguan Qian was also very excited. He was also an old sailor, so he yearned for the big boat, that was his true destination.

Wang Xiu smiled kindly and said, "I heard that Uncle Jing has four Jinlans, right?"

"Exactly." Shangguan Qian didn't shy away from it. Although the military prohibits the generals from communicating in private, the atmosphere of sworn brotherhood has long been a common thing. Everyone knows it well and tacitly. There is no need for him to hide anything from Wang Xiu.

Li Bao was startled, and looked at Shangguanqian in surprise, although everyone knew that making friends in the military was normal, but knowing it was known, and it was another matter to tell it.

Wang Xiu nodded slightly, and said: "Brother Jing's friendship must be a strong man." After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Shangguanqian calmly with a pair of slightly tired eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This time, Uncle Jing Brother has done a great job in controlling sea ships, and I hope he can do something."

"The last general dare not take the credit. Without a husband, there would be no last general today." Shangguanqian sighed in his heart. The former supervisor has now become the existence he looks up to.

Wang Xiu smiled and said, "You two are flood dragons on the water, and the imperial court arranged for you to go south, so there is a lot of reliance on it!"

Shangguan Qian smiled lightly, Wang Xiu's intention was so, Li Bao was promoted to Marquis of the Guards and Infantry, and he was below him, but as long as he can return to the navy, what's the point?Give him a fleet is enough!
Li Bao glanced at Shangguan Qian, vaguely feeling that Wang Xiu must have something to say, he was looking forward to it very much, the infantry guard Du Yuhou may have been the pinnacle of his military career to others, but he was not satisfied.

"Now the north and the south are on temporary truce, there won't be any big wars in the near future, and the imperial court will also establish a presence in the southeast. Have you ever thought that it's time for the navy to make a difference!" Wang Xiu looked at Li Bao and Shangguan with a smile Modesty, whether it is encouragement or promise, reveal some information after all, this is his first step towards the ocean.

"The general is dull, and dare not speculate on the imperial court's strategy." Li Bao looked excited.

"In the future, the main energy of the imperial court will be on internal affairs. It will organize fleets to expand maritime trade. The Song Dynasty navy will act as a vanguard to open up overseas and naturalize thousands of barbarians. Well, the navy is different from the Mabu army. They will drift overseas for many years. , the brotherhood of the entire army is particularly important.”

Wang Xiu didn't need too much. Li Bao and Shangguan Qian, who were born in water, naturally knew it well. They looked at each other and smiled with a heart, and there was a hot light in their eyes.

In just two sentences, they didn't know Wang Xiu's final plan, but they could not help but hear their bright future.Once overseas trade is expanded, the responsibilities of the navy will definitely be increased, and they will receive unprecedented attention, which was unimaginable in the past.

What excites them even more is what Wang Xiu said about opening up overseas and naturalizing Wanyi.Although the words are high-sounding, they reveal naked aggression. Once it is determined as a national policy, the navy will no longer be under the infantry division of the guards, but will become an independent army and become the pioneer of the Song Dynasty to expand the territory. What will they do? future?Just like Li Bao's ambition, he will never be satisfied with Du Yuhou, the infantry guard.

At this time, Shangguanqian understood that Wang Xiu did not let him and Li Bao stay, did not let them lead the envoys from afar, and even assigned them duties. He wanted them to develop the navy, so it was impossible for them to The starting point is too high, which attracts the attention of others.

It's a pity, what they didn't expect was that they were just Wang Xiu's first step, pawns randomly placed!
"Perhaps, within three to five years, you will be wronged."

"Why do you feel wronged by serving the imperial court? Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely live up to my lord's orders." Shangguanqian was very excited.It's a joke, once the navy is out of the guard infantry, he may not be able to compare with Li Bao, but the deputy capital commander cannot escape.With Wang Xiu's support, he has already seen the embryonic form of the commander of the guards and navy in the Song Dynasty. He is very confident that the three yamen will become the fourth yamen.

Wang Xiu was very satisfied with their performance. He could see the desire in their eyes. It was their unsatisfied desire that made him feel at ease. People without ambition could not go too far. He firmly believed in the theory of desire.

After more than a month of recovery, the Kaifeng city in Tokyo in the Song Dynasty is almost as vibrant as it used to be. After the city was looted by the Jin army, although there are still scenes of war, the people are most concerned about their livelihoods. If you need to eat, how can you make a living without going out to make a living?Family hatred and national hatred are still the court's big plan, and it is nothing compared to a mouth.

The restaurants, teahouses and small merchants on both sides of the street started to open their doors again. Thousands of Li people were busy working for their livelihoods again. Caravans full of daily necessities of the city residents passed by one after another. Those businessmen want to make a fortune in the capital city where supplies are scarce after the war. This is the best time to make money!
"The peaks and ridges are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are outside and inside Tongguan Road. Looking at the Western Capital, I feel hesitant, sad, and the Qin and Han Dynasties. Thousands of palaces and palaces have been made of soil. Prosperity, the people suffer. Death, the people suffer."

In the most luxurious private room on the top floor of the Baifan Building, Wang Xiu stood at the window with a smile that was not a smile, looking at the bustling market downstairs, and the grand palace complex with yellow tiles and red walls not far away.Once upon a time, the first time he came to this era, he was standing by the window and looking at it. Nine years later, he was still in a daze at this moment!
Thinking of the stories of ups and downs and reincarnation, and feeling the hardships in the future, he casually recited "Mountain Sheep" by Sanqu master Zhang Yanghao.

A large table was filled with rich food and wine, Zong Liang, Li Changsheng, Liu Renfeng, Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, Bo Zhang, Qin Min, Gao Kan, Qiu Yun and others stood majestically.

Wang Xiu turned around and looked at the nine people with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.After a month of tedious and long rounds, under his absolute insistence, Li Gang unexpectedly stopped insisting, and the important ministers of the two governments and three provinces reached an agreement, and the emperor Nanxing Jiangning.

Kaifeng, Tokyo, as the centuries-old capital that continued the Nine Emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, has an indelible nostalgia for the scholar-officials. Li Gang's only condition, Wang Xiu's concession, is that the Enke held in Kaifeng in the first year of Jianyan in Dazhong was held in Kaifeng. approval of ministers.

He was soberly aware that people are always nostalgic for the past. In the minds of literati and bureaucrats, the capital of the Song Dynasty will always be Kaifeng. sizing up the situation, a temporary strategy.
