Zhao Zhen sometimes suspected that he had played this chess piece a little too big for him to control, but sometimes he wanted to conquer the whole world......

There are entertainers from Tianzhu performing on the street, one hand is propped up on the wooden cane, the whole person sits cross-legged in the air, attracting the praise of the people around him, and there is a juggling artist on the side, blowing a "spray" similar to Xiao, and the terrifying poisonous snake in front of him will dance with the sound of the instrument.

These two things that are commonplace in Tianzhu caused a small sensation in the Great Song Dynasty, especially the old man who was suspended in the air, which was even more eye-opening, and the bamboo basket in front of him was full of copper coins and small amounts of Jiaozi.

Zhao Zhen has no interest in this kind of thing that he is used to seeing in later generations, and has the ability to let the old man roll up his sleeves and try it? Of course, in the middle of winter, no one would ask such a question to a sanctimonious old man.

However, Zhao Zhen found that Sancai was fascinated, and his eyes stared at the old man who was "suspended" in the air with a look of admiration, it seemed that he believed that this old man from the Buddha country had special abilities.

Zhao Zhen pushed him up: "Let's go quickly!" It's just a trick to deceive people. Once debunked, it's worthless. ”

Sancai showed a surprised gaze: "This is a trick?" ”

"Don't you see that there is no one around you who is well-versed in the affairs of the world?"

Sancai looked around, it was really like this, Zhao Zhen continued: "Smart people see through the essence, but they don't bother to say it, this is not a gentleman's doing, it's just a laugh, you are a fool with such respect............"

Zhao Zhen suddenly stopped talking and saw the essence clearly! He just needs to see the essence of the crusade clearly, the way for the Great Song to obtain benefits is very simple, control commodities and obtain benefits.

The source of wealth is in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the Great Song Dynasty firmly controls the precious goods in its own hands and controls the market through channels, there will be a steady stream of interests to come, and there is no need to interfere in the Western world at all.

Just like John, the envoy of Henry III, they will come to the door themselves, and pay attention to the Western world is not beneficial to the current Great Song Dynasty at all, they will only waste their own energy, and they can push the rhythm of history, but they cannot change its inertia.

From the Qin Dynasty to the Han and Tang Dynasties, the land of the Central Plains Dynasty has always been about the same size, as much as the current Great Song Dynasty, and the farther places are just the establishment of the capital protectorate, so it is said that the feet limit the territory of the Chinese Dynasty.

It is a serious misunderstanding that the territory of the Han Dynasty in China is determined by the strength of transportation capacity, not by thought, even if the area that the Yuan and Mongolian Empires can actually control on the banks of the Danube River is only in the Central Plains, and the hand of the Central Dynasty cannot reach that far.

Sancai walked away, he didn't expect that what he thought was magical would become worthless after the official explained everything.

Zhao Zhen touched the chrysanthemum on his head and was slightly proud, after all, whoever finds out that he has the ability to promote or even change history will be complacent, Vietnam's Yue Dynasty has been included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, this is an irresistible force, and the power of the Great Song Dynasty in the South China Sea countries is far stronger than it looks.

Even the Three Buddhas who pay tribute every year have the intention of surrendering, but they want to retain their autonomy, just like the Koreans, but Zhao Zhen will not agree, the Three Buddhas are an important part of the Great Song Dynasty's maritime communications, and it will never fall into the hands of "outsiders".

At the beginning, the Great Song Dynasty only took part of Ma Yi and Bo Ni, but now the whole of Malaysia has fallen into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and the armed forces and people of the Song people in this place basically crushed the original natives.

Don't underestimate the expansion ability of the people of the Han family, one city after another has risen in foreign lands, and the speed is staggering.

The expansion of the Great Song Dynasty in the South China Sea was outrageous, and Zhao Zhen only noticed some time ago that the Song Empire had already built Guiyi City in Yueyan, and established Linyamen near Dengliumei, which was later Singapore, of course, which originally belonged to the Three Buddhas......

The situation in the South China Sea was not so concerned with the court of the Great Song Dynasty, firstly, because the armed forces here could not compete with the Great Song Dynasty at all, and secondly, there were many small countries here, with many names, and even some places were staggered and complicated, and the courtiers were sometimes confused.

However, Zhao Zhen can be sure that all the lands of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam will become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, which is related to the maritime trade of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the throat of maritime transportation.

Even if the Western Xia is destroyed and the Silk Zhou Road in the Western Regions is unblocked, land transportation cannot be as convenient as sea transportation after all.

No one knows better than Zhao Zhen the importance of the sea, whether in this era or in later generations, the sea can always reflect its own value, the Great Song Dynasty took the first step to start the sea trade, became a coachman on the sea, and sold goods to any place.

A large amount of wealth also entered the Great Song Dynasty through shipping, becoming the driving force and cornerstone of the development of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Three Buddhas are going to pay tribute again, but no matter how many pearls and tusks they pay tribute, Zhao Zhen will still not be soft when he should do it, during this time, the territory of the Three Buddhas is constantly compressed by the Great Song Dynasty, and the living space has been challenged, but they still dare not use troops against the Great Song Dynasty, and any improper measures in front of this behemoth will lead to their destruction.

However, Zhao Zhen will not personally issue an order to strike at the Three Buddhas, which is against the name of "Renjun", but ...... The forces of the South China Sea will not watch the Three Buddhas continue to exist, there are excellent natural harbors and a large number of precious resources, and these two points are enough for the South China Sea sailors of the Great Song Dynasty to do it.

Don't forget, the elite fleet and advanced shipbuilding technology of the Great Song Dynasty were developed in the South China Sea before going north.

Zhao Zhen believes that as long as the time is ripe and he gives a little hint, the Great Song Dynasty Sailor who has long been unable to bear it in the South China Sea will pounce on the Three Buddhas like a wolf, and after the raw rice is cooked and the rice is mature, after the fait accompli, he will issue an order to reprimand the sailor generals, but how can the Great Song Dynasty swallow something spit out again?

The people of the Three Buddhas can come to settle in the Great Song Dynasty!

What's the point of floating on the sea all year round? The king of Sriwijaya still has to travel by boat? Come to the Great Song Dynasty to enjoy the treatment of the king, but this king can't be hereditary and retire with the country......

Zhao Zhen looked around, the bustle of Beijing seems to be gathered here, and the world's merchants are everywhere, this is the Great Song Dynasty he created, this world gathers, the empire with strong national strength!

It's just that there is still a fierce but aging sick wolf in the north of this empire, Taizu said it well! Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

Zhao Zhen felt that although he played a bit of a game of chess in the world, the chess game in Asia was good, and the South China Sea had its own set of rules in the Great Song Dynasty, and as long as the armed forces were controlled by the central government, there would be no problems.

The Wa Kingdom, Goryeo one became a colony of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other secretly wanted to ally with the Great Song Dynasty, Tufan could be slowly cleaned up on the plateau, and the Khitans were already in the twilight of the Western Mountains, waiting for the harvest............

The Great Song Dynasty is as powerful as the city of Beijing in front of it, inclusive of everything and has its own uniqueness, it is a heroic warrior, but also a gentleman with a good demeanor.
