Unconsciously, five years passed, and the time entered the forty-second year of Bactria assimilation, 1105 AD; In these five years, the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes, the territory of the Great Xia Empire has not changed, the Great Xia Empire has been recuperating in the past five years, but the Great Song Dynasty has frequent foreign conquests, the target of the conquest is the south, located in the Indochina Peninsula on the Yue Li Dynasty, Champa State, Angkor Dynasty to seize a large number of territories, while occupying Ryukyu, Luzon and other places by sea and immigrating overseas.

And due to the opening of the sea route, the Great Song Dynasty began to carry out sea trade with the Seljuk Empire, and the sea ships frequently crossed the Strait of Malacca, the Indian Ocean and finally reached the Persian Gulf. The annual tax revenue can reach 20,000,000 yuan, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is a prosperous scene.

In addition, there is a more important point, that is, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has been replaced, and the Song Emperor Zhao Xu died in the forty years of the assimilation of Great Xia, and was buried in the Yongtai Mausoleum Temple, called Emperor Zhezong; After Zhao Xu's death, the eight-year-old prince Zhao Mao ascended the throne, Zhao Mao is Zhao Xu's only son, compared with Zhao Xu, Zhao Mao has a more heroic appearance, and thanks to Zhao Xu's education of Zhao Mao, Zhao Mao has been both civil and military since he was a child; By this year, Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty was already ten years old.

In addition, in recent years, the Great Xia Empire has been immersed in high development, the Central Plains, Hebei, and Huaibei regions have gradually recovered their popularity, and the population of the Great Xia Empire has also reached 50 million, of course, there are more newborns; With the above three places, the Bactria Empire was already self-sufficient in grain, and the Bactria Empire also carried out overseas trade, but it was only limited to Goryeo, Wa and Jiaodong, although the Xia merchants' sea ships often went south, but they were always robbed; Feng Huan, the general of the water division, repeatedly asked for orders to lead the water division south to attack the Great Song water division, but was rejected by the Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty has not fully fulfilled the "Jiangning Agreement" in recent years, and the compensation of that year has been given less than half, and the annual tribute has also been greatly discounted, and every year Li Liangzuo will send a messenger to Jiangning Mansion to urge, but the effect is very small, and what should not be given is still not given, which is basically useless; Moreover, in recent years, due to the overseas trade between the Great Song Dynasty and the Seljuk Empire, the export of goods of the Great Xia Empire has been greatly reduced, and there is not much commercial tax and export trade tax, which can be described as a heavy loss.

The imperial capital of Great Xia, in the Ziwei Palace.

Emperor Li Liangzuo of Xia, Li Xiaoren, King of Chu, Li Wu, King of Qin, Zhou Wentai, envoy of the Executive Yuan, Li Yanzong, military envoy, Gao Wei, deputy military envoy, Yang Shousu, secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Shengcai, chief financial secretary, all came to the imperial study to meet Li Liangzuo, but they were stopped by Xiaofuzi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has a decree, and no one can enter without Sheng Yu." Xiao Fuzi said to everyone.

"Father-in-law Fu, isn't my father even seeing this king?" Li Wu questioned Xiao Fuzi.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's Shengyu, who of us dares to disobey it! Could it be that the slave still dares to falsely pass on the holy decree, His Majesty has been in the imperial study for three days, except for the time when the meal is delivered, the slave can go in to have a look, and the rest of the time the slave does not dare to go in. Xiao Fuzi said to Li Wu.

"Father, father, son has something important to see...... Father ......," Li Wu shouted loudly outside the door.

Li Liangzuo was really annoyed by Li Wu, so he said, "Let them come in!" ”

After everyone came in, they immediately bowed to Li Liangzuo and said: "Weichen (son-in-law) see His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live......

"All Aiqing are flat! What are you doing here today? Li Liangzuo said while reviewing the folds.

Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, said: "Your Majesty, the ministers ask for orders to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Can the imperial brother tell me why he started a war with the Great Song Dynasty?" Li Liangzuo asked.

"Your Majesty, now that the Great Song Dynasty is developing rapidly, if it continues like this, sooner or later it will become a fierce rival of our dynasty! Therefore, our dynasty should completely wipe out the Great Song Dynasty and dominate the world before it completely recovers. Li Xiaoren said to Li Liangzuo.

"Minister Reconsideration ......"

"Minister Reconsideration ......"

"The minister also reconsiders ......"

……

"Zhou Shengcai, do you also reconsider?" Li Liangzuo asked Zhou Shengcai, who did not speak.

"Your Majesty, the minister also reconsiders ......"

"Okay, in that case, I ask you, is the treasury of my Great Xia Empire full now?"

"Your Majesty, although the treasury is not very full, the strategic grain reserves needed for the war have all been prepared, which is enough for my million-strong army for a year." Zhou Shengcai said to Li Liangzuo.

"I'm asking you, how are the finances and taxes of my Great Xia Empire compared to before?"

"Your Majesty, taxes are rising year by year, but the taxes on commerce and foreign trade have been greatly reduced." Zhou Shengcai said.

"Since the treasury is not full, and the fiscal taxes are also increasing year by year, the Executive Yuan envoy Zhou, what do you tell you what this means?" Li Liangzuo continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, this means that my Great Xia Empire is still in the ascending stage, and there is still a lot of potential for development." Zhou Wentai said to Li Liangzuo.

"That's right! We haven't even completely digested the meat we have eaten in our stomachs, and we are thinking that we are swallowing a piece of fatter meat, which is not the rhythm of being strung to death. Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "All Aiqing, please go back!" The king of Qin stayed in the imperial capital for a few days......"

Everyone was lost at all by Li Liangzuo's words, and finally everyone saluted Li Liangzuo and said: "Your Majesty is in good health, and the ministers are ...... retire."

Samad Sho, the garrison of the Xia Army's Western Expeditionary Army.

In the blink of an eye, Li Bingchang, the king of Jin, Li Hao, the king of Yue (who was named the king of Yue by Jin three years ago) and Liang Yongneng, have been here for five years, and the three of them have been training in addition to training in the past five years, and now Li Bingchang, the king of Jin, has trained an army of 150,000, including 80,000 cavalry, 30,000 fire crow troops, and 40,000 foot soldiers, these 150,000 troops are all elites, but unable to meddle in administration and finance.

"Big brother, I'm back." Li Hao said after coming to the Jin Palace.

"How about the fifth child, have you received the grain and grass?" Li Bingchang asked with great concern.

"I've already got all of them, and Daduhu has given an extra 50,000 stones and 30,000 catties of jerky, and 30,000 catties of gunpowder have been transported." Li Hao said with a smile.

"In the past few years, thanks to Li Dadu's care for us, especially the 30,000 catties of gunpowder, with it, our battle will be much easier." Li Bingchang said.

"Big brother, are you really ready to do it?" Li Hao asked Li Bingchang.

"It's time to do it, we have been very prepared in the past five years, and we will be able to lay down a piece of our own territory after a battle, and there is always a feeling of being under the fence of this king when we stay here." Li Bingchang sighed.

"Since the eldest brother has decided, then start a war with them, I have already itched my hands." Li Hao said with a smile.

"Okay, you go and prepare! Ten days later we will send our troops. Li Bingchang ordered.

"You have to have a name for beating them!"

"What name do you want, this king just looks at them if they are unhappy......"

The second is more presented, and there are votes to support it......
