Chapter 1046 Reopening the Protectorate
Cai Boyu's affairs in the Wa Kingdom were like a small stone thrown into a huge lake, perhaps a huge splash at that time, but under Zhao Zhen's deliberate cover-up, it soon calmed down, and all that was needed was to use time to slowly fade away.
It can't be said that the ministers don't know the news at all, but they are too lazy to care, as long as the interests of the Great Song Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom are not damaged, who will care about the life and death of the barbarians in that foreign land?
The Japanese were very smart, not only sent envoys to the Liao Dynasty, but also sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty, and some people regarded this method as a last resort, so that the Great Song Dynasty itself denied or even opposed Cai Boyu's actions, and of course also sent valuable "gifts".
It's just that the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty don't care about these "gifts", what can the Wa Kingdom give? It is nothing more than gold and silver, or "beauty", but there is no shortage of gold and silver in the Great Song Dynasty, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are not ordinarily high, and they no longer need to take bribes, the most important thing is that everyone knows that these things will be targeted after entering the Great Song Dynasty, and if they take it, they will be unlucky......
As for the beauties sent...... I'm sorry, but the aesthetics of the Song people are completely different from those of the Japanese people, and they gave the wrong gift......
So even if the courtiers heard the news and ignored this matter, everyone knew that the official family sent Cai Boyu out, if he provoked the aesthetic basket, of course he could participate in Cai Boyu, who called him a relative, but if there was no "big event" that harmed the Great Song Dynasty, who would care about this idle matter?
So this matter was pressed, and suddenly at the super meeting one day in the middle of the month, Zhao Zhen announced that he would send a forbidden army to the Wa State at the same time, and he went over with his family, and set up the Haidong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate in Yizhou, the land of the Western Regions west of the Wa Kingdom!
For a while, this will was like a storm that swept through the Great Song Dynasty, and madness swept everyone's "minds".
At the same time, it also caused a shock inside and outside the government and the opposition and even the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the influence was so great that it even affected the Liao Dynasty, and the word Duhufu has disappeared for a long time in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.
The word "Du Hu" was first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty in the era when the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong and the sky was mighty, "Du" was all, "Protect" was the guardianship of the soldiers, and "Du Hu" was the meaning of "Director Protection".
In the Tang Dynasty, the development was more perfect, and the capital protector was placed in the positions of capital protector, deputy capital guard, long history, Sima and so on, "in charge of Zhufan, soothing and requisitioning, and recounting meritorious punishments". It also places records to participate in the military, records affairs, Zhu Cao to participate in the military, and participates in the military, etc., such as the position of the state capital.
Most importantly, this is quite a kind of convenient colonization, although it is not as serious as the exploitation of later capitalist capitalism, but it is also another kind of control in disguise, which is an act of a dynasty to show its power externally, and of course for its own interests.
This proves that the dynasty is fully capable of conquering this land but disdains the pride, and it is a demonstration of the power of a dynasty! But he did control that place......
The people of the Great Song Dynasty were excited and proud, and the emergence of the word Duhufu also meant that the strength of the Great Song Dynasty in military force had reached the height of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and only a dynasty with a strong military force had the ability to appear synonymous with the powerful force of Duhufu.
And the officials were a little worried and hesitant in the excitement, yes, they were very conflicted in their hearts, the rise of the Great Song Dynasty was too fast, and decades of hard work have completely gotten rid of the original decadence.
After all, the Great Song Dynasty is the Zhengshuo Dynasty, inheriting the traditions of the Han dynasty in the past dynasties, but also inheriting the characteristics of prudence, they are unwilling to take risks, in the eyes of the courtiers, the dynasty that set up the capital to protect the palace is extremely powerful, it is not the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty.
At present, there is still the Liao Dynasty watching on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, this dynasty is still powerful, at least in terms of military strength, it can compete with the Great Song Dynasty, it is not as weak as the Western Xia, in fact, the Western Xia is not weak, but the courtiers want to be stable excessively.
Since Taizong, the beginning of the Zhenzong Dynasty, the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty has begun to change, from offensive to passive defense, after Zhao Zhen's years of change, this passive defense has only become active defense.
For the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, the destruction of Dali was for the stability of the southwest frontier, and the destruction of Western Xia was for the stability of the northwest frontier............ This is the idea of the courtiers and even the people of the Great Song Dynasty, for them, the Western Xia is not the Zhengshuo Dynasty, and its combat power is the same as that of the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, and Dali.
But Zhao Zhen put the Western Xia before the Liao Dynasty, in order to give the Great Song Dynasty confidence, in his opinion, the Western Xia's combat power is not lost to the Liao Dynasty, can not be judged by the size of the country and how to judge the strength of a country's military strength, but obviously he was wrong.
Now the establishment of the capital protection mansion is both expectation and fear in the hearts of the Song people, and this mood is naturally not difficult to understand.
For the Liao Dynasty, Zhao Zhen's will is arrogant!
The Liao Dynasty had already received the letter of state from the Wa State, but it was only after the success of Cai Boyu that it was too late at this time, compared with the Great Song Dynasty, the transmission of news from the Liao Dynasty was slower, and it was almost at the same time as learning that the Great Song Dynasty had set up the capital to protect the government before receiving the letter of the Wa State, needless to say that Dunliang was defeated under Cai Boyu's strict "offensive".
For Cai Boyu, this is a political game, but for Dunliang, it is a game of life and death...... It can be said that he has lost from the beginning.
Zhao Zhen looked at the song in his hand and nodded slightly, Cai Boyu had already arranged for Prince Zhenzinei, the eldest daughter of Dunliang, and the two princes to go to the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Zhen decided to change his previous practice, he did not plan to marry Zhenzi as a concubine, which was not conducive to the colonization of the Wa Kingdom.
He thought of the best method last night, and he came up with it under Wang Yuyan's reminder.
Wang Yuyan plans to find a good family for Ling'er, and does not require dignitaries and dignitaries, nor does she require a family fortune, as long as it is Wang Yuyan's fancy, Zhao Zhen quietly told Wang Yuyan about the matter between Ling'er and Su Shi, and the queen of the middle palace smiled like a ...... A cunning rat......
It can be seen that she already knew, but she said it with the help of her own mouth, this time Zhao Zhen really had no choice, she could only acquiesce in the love affair between Wang Yuyan and Su Shi, but Zhao Zhen felt that it was still early.
But Wang Yuyan's words made him realize an important problem: "Official, a woman is a woman after all, if Ling'er is a man, then it will be different......"
Zhao Zhen suddenly realized that if he had two princes in his hands, he would not have to worry about the loyalty of the female emperor of the Japanese kingdom at all, because the Great Song Dynasty could support either of these two princes at any time and go to the Japanese kingdom to regain the rights in the name of righteousness!
These two princes are Zhao Zhen's best means to contain and coerce Zhenzi, as long as there is such a trump card, there is no need to worry about Zhenzi not obeying, and the problem will be solved at once.
