Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 851 Taking the South China Sea as an Inner Lake
At the end of the sunset on the cliff, the scholars fell from the high top to the dust, and the scholar class was reduced to a low class, and their thinking has undergone fundamental changes.Being oppressed and ravaged by foreigners one after another, the mentality of the scholars to embrace Baichuan gradually closed.

Whether it is thought or academics, they are becoming extremely conservative in an all-round way, resulting in an alternative and deformed openness, and society has also begun to move towards self-enclosure.

At the same time, Li Gang could understand Wang Xiu's mood. It was a mind that embraced all rivers and rivers, and had the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it was too dangerous to use barbarians to make diplomatic relations in the South China Sea, and he couldn't be completely relieved.

Wang Xiu was very disappointed, but he was not discouraged. There were some things that he could not make any concessions, because he had already occupied the top position of the ministers, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Ji is a descendant of the Byzantine nobles. If the barbarians accept it and dispel their doubts, if the minister recommends this person, it will surely accomplish great things."

Everyone was a little unhappy, Wang Xiu's words were affirmative, that is to say, it was imperative, and no one would be too comfortable thinking of Wang Xiu's strength as an extremely human minister.

Even Lu Haowen frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in the corner of his eyes, and Xu Han glared at each other even more.

No matter how the court argues, Wang Xiu's attitude is still tough. With the generals arriving one after another, the fleets moored at the ports of the military prefectures have completed their final preparations. They began to go to sea one after another, the first being the patrol team as the leader.

The immigrants are mainly concentrated on Fujian Road and Guangnan East Road, and they still need to wait for a while, which means that the expeditionary army does not set off together, but goes to Hainan in batches.

Shangguan Qian was full of spirits. On the day he boarded the ship, the imperial court issued an imperial edict to formally establish two fleets of the guard navy, the South and the North.How can he not be proud that he controls [-]% of the warship strength of the guards and navy of the Great Song Dynasty as the commander of the guards and navy, and he also serves as the commander of the Southern Sea Fleet and the deputy commander of the Quannan Guards and Navy?

Some people have seen the clues, the commander of Quan Nan's deputy commander?The Commanding Division of the Southern Sergeant Army is in charge of Liangzhe Road and the south of Jiangnan Dongxi Road. It does not stipulate overseas combat responsibilities, and it is just empty shelf in people's impression.

In order to coordinate and deal with the existence of the Southwestern Yi, but did not want Shangguan Qian to be promoted to the rank of deputy capital commander, this made everyone understand that the Southern Guard is not just a show, but a real existence, just to deal with the yamen of the countries in the South China Sea .

There are also many generals who are envious. The Southern Guard is specially set up for the guard navy, at least at this stage it will be monopolized by the guard navy.

At this time, Hangzhou was full of life. The two teams stationed in Dazhai of the Long Island Guards and Navy went south. At the Qiantang Military Port in Hangzhou, the guards and sailors were busy and making final preparations.

The team headed by Gu Liang to go south from Yuquan Mountain also began to prepare, the practice in the academy, there was an endless stream of farewells, and they had to get drunk every day.

Shi Hao has not been in Hangzhou for a long time, but in such a short time, seeing Yuquanshan Academy and seeing the explosive development of Hangzhou's industry and commerce, his mentality has changed dramatically.

In this way, observing as an outsider, he couldn't help feeling deeply moved by Wang Xiu's new policies, and facing Li Changsheng, he said with emotion: "Wang Xianggong's new policies are indeed beneficial to the country and the people."

Fei Su looked at Shi Hao playfully, he had a good impression of him.

Shi Hao came to the academy to apply for a job, but he didn't show Wang Xiu's letter. During the recruitment conversation, he was very surprised by Shi Hao's knowledge, and he passed the academy meeting smoothly.It took six or seven days to receive a letter from Zhong Lirui, asking Shi Hao how he was, and then he realized that Wang Xiu had recommended him, and he couldn't help but admire him.

Today, he and Shi Hao accompanied Fei Su for a walk in the garden of the academy, discussing some knowledge, but when they heard Shi Hao's praise, his eyes inevitably drifted away, which should be a contradiction.

Fei Su gave Shi Hao an appreciative look, and proudly said: "The mountain is a talented person. I am in charge of the Liangzhe Road Maritime Safety Bureau, but I still can't understand the essence of the mountain leader's administration. But I think it is beneficial to the country and the people, and I can't say everything about the mountain leader. planning of things."

It has been four years since he took office. Although the court officials are appointed every three years, he joined the Maritime Department as a judge not long ago, and he can be regarded as a high-level member of the Maritime Department.Knowing that the Maritime Affairs Department has been silent and part-time, even if he became Quan Shangshu, he did not give up, but it is only a matter of time before he resigns, which is a great thing!
As one of the Fifteen Heroes of the Wang Clan, he suddenly emerged. He was obviously trained in the direction of Zhihai Shiji, and he was flattered by some followers, and even compared him to Wang Xiu back then.He just laughed it off, compared with the head of the mountain?He still has self-knowledge. People can be greedy, but they cannot be without self-knowledge. Although he is very proud of himself, he doesn't think he can be compared with Wang Xiu at this stage.

However, the attention from Wang Xiu and Shen Mo destined him to have a bright future, and the Quan Maritime Affairs Department is certain, and it also paved the golden road for him to the Metropolitan Hall.

Liu Renfeng glanced at Fei Su, didn't say anything else, just laughed it off.

When Shi Hao saw that Fei Su said that he couldn't tell the whole story about Wang Xiu's plan, he was aroused and asked, "Brother, what do you say?"

"Benefiting the country and benefiting the people, what Zhiweng sees and hears is just a small way." Fei Su smiled gently, and said, "The plan of the head of the mountain is not the prosperity of a moment and a place, those are just passing clouds. What is important is that the merit will last for thousands of years, and the benefits will be passed on forever."

Shi Hao couldn't fully understand it. In all fairness, he was not conservative in thinking, but he still preferred farming, mulberry, farming and reading, but this did not prevent him from admiring the separation of internal and external dynasties, and the dual system of constitutional monarchy. The Jedi prime minister didn't even dare to think of the monarchy launching a challenge. Wang Xiu, who had always been gentle and refined, and paid attention to compromise and balance, suddenly took the blow from Zhang Qiyuan and made a strong attack.

The most astonishing thing is that the scholars either openly supported or quietly acquiesced, which shows that Wang Xiu's grasp of people's hearts is almost to the level of evildoers.

"I don't need to talk about other things, but the South China Sea is one of them. Oh, a few years ago, the starling Zhidengzhou took office and directly drove the Bowang army, fighting against the chiefs of Sanfo Qi for several months. The night is small, Shangguan Taiwei is in command today to seek benefits for the country, and when the South China Sea is peaceful, the Song Dynasty will have many overseas military states, and the country will expand day by day, and the South China Sea will be an inner lake, how magnificent it is!"

Fei Su thought of the Great Qin in Wang Xiu's book. It said that the Western Great Qin was the most powerful, with a vast territory, and even used the sea as an inner lake, revealing the idea of ​​the South China Sea as a military state.Now, the expedition of the Song Guards' navy is the first step of this wish. How can we not be excited?

Seeing that his fellow disciples were about to make contributions and become famous in history, he wished he could go into battle by himself and expand the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom.
