Chapter 738: Renzong Mentality
All kinds of secret agents in the Northern Song Dynasty, for 20 consecutive days, there was no news coming, which has proved that something big happened in Liao, but what happened, whether it was civil strife, the death of Liao Xingzong, or the battle for succession, it is not clear, but now, the worst thing has happened, the Liao State has been destroyed, this represents that it is not the original power of Liao, which has replaced Liao, but a force from outside.
The difference between this is very great, and for the Northern Song Dynasty, it may have to face an even more terrible opponent who can destroy the Liao State.
Is there such a force around Liao, after Renzong saw this, he directly recalled that with the current pervasive espionage ability of the Northern Song Dynasty, the powerful forces around Liaoguo all know about it, but none of them have the ability to do this.
Since Han Qi gave the fold, then, there must be some definite information, this will have a reaction in the fold, sure enough, looking down, in the following paragraph, there is a description of what the forces that destroyed Liao are, Renzong is also the same as Han Qi originally thought, whether it is a Jurchen, or a nomad who emerged from Mongolia.
But after reading the recital, there are three words written unmistakably below, Dinghai.
Renzong thought that he had read it wrong, and after reading it again, under Han Qi's neat handwriting, three words were clearly written.
This means that it was none other than the Dinghai Navy that destroyed the Liao State.
Dinghaihai's name, Renzong knew that it was his son's territory, which was originally just an expedient measure, to let Zhao Xin get out of the sea of suffering, and by the way, there was a certain amount of glory and wealth, which was already within the scope of Renzong's authority, and the largest range of Zhao Xin's needs was met.
After the development, but beyond Renzong's expectations, Zhao Xin's development in the Ding Navy is very good, not only from the identity, from the Northern Song Dynasty political sucking blood, but feeding, for the Northern Song Dynasty, he is like a treasure bag, anything can be made, because of such step-by-step efforts, the Ding Navy can be said to be rich and rival the country.
But when, his military strength is also so strong, last year, the appearance of the Ding Navy in Guangzhou, to a certain extent, faintly attracted the attention of Renzong At that time, I was afraid that Zhao Xin would take a detour and have unnecessary ideas, the court of the Northern Song Dynasty was finally getting better, and the development of all aspects was also very good, and all kinds of hidden worries in the Northern Song Dynasty were also solved, as long as it lasted for another five to ten years, it could bring a huge foundation for the next dynasty.
However, the momentum of the development of the Northern Song Dynasty is very good, but it can't withstand a battle for succession, and the stability of the Northern Song Dynasty lies in some fixed rules, some rules can be broken, and some rules cannot be broken, even if Renzonggui is the emperor.
Zhao Xin is in the Dinghai Navy, you are the Marquis of Dinghai, if it is just rich and noble, then there is no problem, as long as Renzong is there, he can keep his wealth and dignity, even if he is not there, the Northern Song Dynasty does not have so many people in history who have robbed their families and exterminated their families, as long as Zhao Xin can't afford to divide his heart, there is no problem.
But if he has any wrong thoughts, relying on a fixed navy, even if he is rich and rival the country, he will not be able to make much waves, but will give his life.
On the premise of knowing that the Ding Navy may have combat effectiveness, he and Han Qi understood and investigated the Ding Navy, this is not to deal with the Ding Navy, otherwise, it can be made public directly in the court, so that with the power of the Northern Song Dynasty, it can directly overwhelm the Ding Navy.
How long has it been, and there has not been an accurate reply to the investigation of the Ding Navy, but the Ding Navy has already destroyed the Liao State.
There is a relationship between Zhao Xin's handwritten letter, Han Qi did not say much in the twists and turns, but simply mentioned that in 20 days, the Liao State has been destroyed, and the one who destroyed the Liao State is the Ding Navy, and the detailed process is in Zhao Xin's handwritten letter later.
There is also Zhao Xin's handwritten letter, Renzong was shocked, and he didn't care about looking at Han Qi's twists and turns, and directly turned out Zhao Xin's letter.
Because there is no way to meet his son, Renzong's only contact with Zhao Xin is in the letter, although it is said that he went to the Dinghai Navy, there are thousands of things, Zhao Xin's work is very busy, but the occasional practice of calligraphy is still in progress.
The changes in the card system to the body not only allowed Zhao Xin to have the combat power of an adult when he was seven or eight years old, but also made his body quite controllable.
Practicing calligraphy itself is a process of control and repetition, and the excellence of the body has made Zhao Xin twice the result with half the effort, and gradually his writing skills have greatly increased.
The contact with Renzong is mostly in these letters, Renzong receives letters from Zhao Xin almost every month, not only is he very familiar with Zhao Xin's handwriting, but also knows Zhao Xin's progress in handwriting all along.
The familiar handwriting is written by Zhao Xin, the same, completely set the rules of the navy, this, at the beginning, Renzong was very unaccustomed, and later, slowly, he became familiar with this habit of writing, with this writing habit, Renzong reduced a lot of trouble when dealing with the above things, and even the use of this aspect was much less.
According to the way of writing the Ding Navy, he quickly saw the main content, the entire battle to destroy Liao was carried out very quickly, from the dispatch of troops to the end, it took a total of 20 days, which was also the 20 days when the Northern Song Dynasty found that there was no news from Liao.
The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao State, hundreds of large and small cities, did not have the slightest blocking effect on the attack of the Ding Navy, and the most extreme was to break through 30 cities in 3 days, such a speed was extremely amazing.
At that time, there was no choice to divide Zhao Xin into the Ding Navy, and in any case, I would never have thought that the Ding Navy would be so strong that even the Liao State would be destroyed after four or five years.
At this time, the Liao State also perished, Renzong didn't think of empathy, he was afraid that the Ding Navy would threaten the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Ding Navy would develop to the point that it would be able to destroy the forces of the Liao State, which would definitely not be achieved overnight, so a year or two ago, perhaps, there would be the ability to attack the Northern Song Dynasty.
But two or three years ago, what was the Dinghai Navy doing? He was helping the Northern Song Dynasty, and at that time, if the navy did not supply the Northern Song Dynasty with advanced equipment and weapons, and even in the Battle of Youyun, it would be easier to make the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State lose both.
Zhao Xin did not choose to attack the Northern Song Dynasty, but only attacked the Liao State, which means that Zhao Xin has the Northern Song Dynasty in his confidence, and in the end, he chose the Liao State for the sake of status.
Renzong's idea can't be said to be wrong, but Renzong can't understand that the power of thermal weapons is not the era of cold weapons, if you can think about it, if you talk about ability, as early as when the Dinghai used the 400,000 thermal weapons army in the future, in fact, it had the ability to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty.
Not attacking the Northern Song Dynasty is not to scruple about Renzong's thoughts, of course, it can't be said that there is no, the most important thing is still manpower.
When the industrial revolution opened, manpower became the most precious resource, there is not enough manpower, can not support the explosive development of industry, the later generations of the Internet said, industrial upgrading of the first, second and third, it is caused by the expansion of the population, maybe the first level only needs one or two million, to the second level at least 50 million or more, the third level is 100 million to 300 million, to the fourth level is more than 600 million.
This theory, no one has verified, but the demographic dividend brought by industrialization is certain, the population that the Northern Song Dynasty has easily accumulated, coupled with a certain level of education, this is the beginning of the complete take-off of the Ding Navy, if there is no need, he does not want to directly attack the Northern Song Dynasty.
In an industrialized society, there is not only such a way as war, people tend to live a better life, on the one hand, a developed and rich life, on the other hand, they are poor, I am afraid that they will not even have enough to eat, under the premise of unsheltered peace, how will they choose.
If it is said that the Dinghai Navy is still such a small land that can accommodate a limited population, war may be the best solution, but now, after occupying the Liao State, which is vast and sparsely populated, as long as there is no direct conflict with the Northern Song Dynasty, in a peaceful state, as long as the original Liao Land is developed to a certain extent, it will not take 20 years, and there will not be many people in the Northern Song Dynasty.
As far as Zhao Xin's body is concerned, perhaps, the Northern Song Dynasty is an obsession, but from the perspective of later generations, millions of square kilometers are enough for the development of hundreds of millions of people.
This kind of advanced vision, even in later generations, was only in the late 20th century, and after that, it was gradually realized that before that, World War I and World War II were all for the sake of living space and sphere of influence.
At present, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there is only one person like Zhao Xin, who has the current vision, which is also the fundamental reason why others will misunderstand Zhao Xin along the way, what he pursues is not a one-trick gain or loss, but the ultimate goal is the same.
From the beginning of giving up the identity of the prince, faking his death to get out, obtaining a piece of land that he could control, and then to supporting the Northern Song Dynasty, he is moving towards the goal step by step, but others don't think so.
Renzong not only did not rise, but was a little happy, the child's achievements are also Renzong's achievements, if you thought about it before, now, even the Liao State has been destroyed, at least it is also a Liao emperor, then the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty, then it will really become the country of father and son.
The long-term worry not only did not evolve into something that frightened the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was a good thing for his son, and under the premise of occupying the Liao State, it didn't matter if he had this ambition or not.
Unsure, or the result that can't be achieved, that's a non-dividing thought, the high full strength that has been obtained, then not, this kind of use of real strength to get, or the emperor of Liao, no one can take this away, in Renzong's heart, there is even an idea, if it is true, Zhao Xin came to ask for help, he will do everything he can to help.
Seeing the whole process of Dinghai's combat strength and attacking the Liao State, Renzong's mentality was put down, even if his son could not become the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, at least, he became the emperor of the Liao State, which seemed to be better.
Next, Renzong, who had a stable mentality, did not miss the development of the Dinghai Navy, and looked at the development of the Dinghai Navy with interest, and then realized how superficial his previous treatment of the Dinghai Navy was.
The fiscal revenue is very high, this is estimated, it may be higher than the financial revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that it would be so high, more than nearly 5 times, this is a little scary, I really don't know, how Zhao Xin earned so much money.
What's more terrifying is the expansion speed of the navy, and there are interests at sea, which was not thought of by the Northern Song Dynasty, since the development of history, China is a standard land country, and only when there is no way to break through at sea, it will be considered, it is the last section, but in the navy, because of the relationship between the sea, under the vigorous development, it has reached such a degree.
Transporting millions of soldiers and civilians, crossing thousands of miles of sea routes, landing from behind the Liao State, and disintegrating the back of the Liao State at once, this is the root cause of the quick victory over the Liao State.
No matter how the Liao State develops, his foundation is also a nomad, and the Northern Song Dynasty does not attack, on the one hand, because it does not have enough ability to defeat the Liao State, and on the other hand, it is afraid that the Liao State will run to the grassland, and if he really has no scruples, it will be even more terrifying.
Drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle in the north blocked the way for the Liao State to escape, so it is only a matter of time to clean up, and the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty can do it, but this time will drag on for a long time, maybe one year, two years and three years, but it is much faster than previously estimated.
Immigration, which is a must be considered for any country, large-scale projects, enriching the border areas, which requires immigration, the evacuation of the population in densely populated places to sparsely populated places, to a certain extent, is to increase efficiency, but also can calm some social contradictions.
Obviously, there are so many benefits, but unless some extreme disasters occur, or as a last resort, the ruler will not choose to immigrate, because of the cost of immigration.
It is impossible to bear it completely with the government, but if the people themselves bear it, it will be a history of blood and tears, every migration, that is, countless lives, with one-third, or even half of the death, in exchange for the final arrival, this price is not ordinarily large.
In the same way, such a migration takes a lot of time, as little as a year, as much as a few years, and it is even more exhausting.
However, the sea transportation of the Dinghai Navy opened up a new way, from the Dinghai Navy to Vladivostok, the voyage of thousands of miles was also quite long, but in dozens of days, it crossed the distance of thousands of miles and was transported to a place even farther than the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, which gave Renzong new inspiration.
Perhaps this kind of shipping is very restrictive, but for the Northern Song Dynasty, there are now two places that are vast and sparsely populated, one is located in the south, the development of Guangnan, and the other is located in the north, the development of Youzhou, the densely populated places in the Central Plains, a considerable number of immigrants have passed, which has promoted the development of the local area and also weakened the contradictions here.
In short, after reading the letter from the recital and Zhao Xin, Renzong was in a good mood, and after reading it, he gave Zhu Pi and handed it over to the minister, this is a major matter, related to the future development of the two countries, and it must be shown to the governors, but what kind of consequences will be born from this, Renzong will not think about it, he has been busy for so long, and it is easy to have a good news, he directly stopped the handling of government affairs and left work early.
