Zhao Ji became more and more diligent, and by the middle of the night, he hadn't gone to rest. Of course, he did not sneak out of the palace to enjoy the nightlife of Kaifeng Mansion, but his eyes were bright and his spirits were vigorous to deal with military affairs in the Chongzheng Palace.

In a side hall of the Chongzheng Palace, the lights were bright, and the Great Song Shengjun, the alternate Heavenly Khan Zhao Ji, was guarding a map table, concentrating on fiddling a bunch of small flags symbolizing the army.

In the center of the map, the western thief of the ethnic separatist forces in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty and its surrounding situation are depicted.

Judging from this map, the western thief is already a rabbit's tail and can't grow! The Great Song Dynasty had already concentrated a huge force in the eastern part of the Western Thief, in the Hengshan area. The small flags on the front line of Hengshan are densely packed, representing the elite of Jingyuan, Huanqing, Yanyan, Hedong and other roads. The total number of troops that have been mobilized adds up to 200,000 — including vacancies and auxiliaries......

Well, even if there are a lot of vacancies, the assembled four-way elite is still enough to defeat the Left Wing Army deployed by the Western Thieves in the Wuding River Valley. After the first emperor Zhezong seized the line between Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain, the Song army had already become a high-rise position against the western thieves in the Wuding River valley in terms of terrain.

As long as the Iron Harriers and garrisons of the Western Thieves cannot go east out of the Wuding River, then with this 200,000 (including vacancies) army, it is enough to seize the Yin, Shi, Xia, You and other states in the Wuding River Valley.

Once these states were in hand, the Great Song Dynasty would be able to send the "compulsory government soldiers" recruited from Guanzhong, Hedong, Hebei and other places to Tuntian. In less than three years, the government soldiers in Tuntian should be able to save more than 3 million stone of grain and grass. Coupled with the grain transported from Luoyang Baibo and the grain collected from Shaanxi Sixth Road, 10 million stones can be scraped together.

With so much food, it shouldn't be difficult to capture Xingqing Mansion and Xiping Mansion! Even if it is a protracted war, it can consume the western thief to death in Xingping Erfu!

This time, Zhao Ji's plan for the western expedition "personally" was much more reliable than the five-way expedition launched by his father, Emperor Shenzong.

Zhao Ji didn't expect to finish the battle at all, but to last with the West Thief! Nor do they seek to destroy the thieves, but only to force the thieves to move westward.

That's not a lot of requirements, right?

And so far, the plan has been executed very well! Xining, Jingyuan Shuaisi's Lubu Baojie and Tong Guan, Gao Yu, and Wu Haowen's secret texts have all arrived in Kaifeng Mansion.

What a victory! An unimaginable victory! In a very short period of time, the knights in front of the palace (the knights were actually selected by Wu Haogu) and the dragon warriors who were personally selected by themselves swept away the Huang, Shan, Kuo and other prefectures, and also destroyed the 20,000 troops of Renduo in one fell swoop! Forcing Rindo to be loyal and surrender!

And in this process, the knights in front of the palace and the dragon warriors also captured no less than 30,000 strong men in Xifan and Western thieves! Such a record can probably be compared with Tang Taizong Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, right?

A trace appeared on Zhao Ji's face, no, it was a lot of self-satisfaction. No wonder those barbarians are calling themselves "Heavenly Khan" behind their backs. It seems that the ability of his own soldiers, among the ancient emperors, only Taizu of this dynasty, Tang Taizong, and perhaps Han Guangwu can be compared!

So the wise and martial official family appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was really the heavens that favored the people of the Great Song Dynasty!

However, in the midst of a great situation, there are also some things that are not very harmonious.

First of all, the generals on the front line suddenly quarreled.

Zhong Fu, the deputy envoy of Xihe and Jingyuan, accused Gao Yu of arsonizing his troops with killing good and risky deeds, and he was rude. Taoxi Fusi, the supervisor of the Ji Yi Text, Wu Haowen, played a report to Gao Yongnian to kill the soldiers, and also told Zhong Fu Ke to deduct the reward and shake the army's heart. Tong Guan secretly played Gao Yongnian to kill Liang and Zhong Fu to delay the military plane - if it wasn't for Zhong Fu holding on to killing Liang and beheading the number, now Zhuo Luocheng and Qin Wangchuan have been taken!

Why did you quarrel so much? This really made Saint Monarch Zhao Ji a little confused.

As for killing good people and beheading them with false reports...... Perhaps?

Kill Liang or something, Zhao Ji doesn't really care very much, anyway, he is not a child of the Great Song Dynasty, what is there to kill a little! Why all the fuss? Zhong Fu and Wu Haowen are both nerds, right? Why do you report this kind of thing? Isn't it okay to act as if it didn't happen?

However, the number of beheadings of the knights and dragon warriors in front of the palace is indeed too much, which is a big problem, and there are more than 30,000 beheadings and prisoners!

If the number of these beheadings and prisoners is recognized, it will be more than 3,000 houses!

Zhao Ji suddenly found that he was a dignified official, and he would actually worry about not having a house...... That's ridiculous, isn't it? The official family has no house anymore!

As soon as he thought of the bad house, Zhao Ji thought of his old friend Wu Haogu.

I'll have to ask him about it!

"Official, it's time to rest." Yang Jian came over again and advised Zhao Ji to rest early, "You have slept so late for several days in a row, it will definitely make the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother worry." ”

Zhao Ji responded, but asked about something that had nothing to do with sleeping: "Has the decree for Wu Dalang been issued?" ”

The edict to Wu Hao Gu was written by Zhao Ji after asking the right one in the Chongzheng Hall today. Because he found that he had no house, more than 3,000 sets (in fact, there is no need for so many, more than 2,500 sets are enough) ah, where is it! I have to let Wu Haogu come back quickly to find a way, if there is really no way, I have to talk about killing good and risking merit, and I can only be sorry for Gao Yu......

……

Night falls.

More than 40 giant candles the thickness of a child's arm were lit, illuminating the hall of the Jieheshang City Municipal Hall building as bright as day.

Such a number of candles are not cheap, and even in the palace, it is rare to light so many at once. It's not that I can't afford it, but it's for pretending to be simple and simple...... Holy Monarch, of course you can't be too extravagant!

However, Wu Haogu didn't care about being said to be extravagant. Sometimes, he had to deliberately waste a little money to show that he was particularly rich. Only in this way will people believe in the financial resources of Jiehe City and Jiehe Commercial City.

So today, Wu Haogu asked the hall of the government office to light a white candle mixed with spices - this thing is also a product of Jiehe Commercial Market. Candle traders brought large pieces of white wax (a secretion of tree insects) from Sichuan, along with spices, cotton thread and dyes brought by sea, and processed them into scented candles in the Jiehe Merchant Market. It was then sold to Liao, Goryeo, and Japan.

Under the light of the candle, Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing were entertaining the bad people of the Great Song Dynasty who were about to sail overseas......

It's the bad guys that Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing collected from Shamen Island! At first there were more than three hundred, then a batch was added, and now there are seven hundred and twenty-four bad guys.

Wu Haogu has already roughly read their resumes, some are murderers, some are arsonists, some are mountain thieves, some are snitches, and some are water thieves...... There are not only male bad guys, but also more than a dozen female bad guys, all of whom were recruited by Wu Haogu to Shamen Island for training. Hu Yanqing and Zhou Gao are responsible for transforming them, and now they have all reformed themselves and are ready to be useful bad guys to the Great Song Empire.

Oh, that Zhou Daxia is also transformed now. However, he will not be sent out to sea, but will become a retainer of Wu Haogu. In the future, he will be responsible for educating bad people on Salmon Island, and this matter can't always be done by Ximen Qing! So he promoted Zhou Daxia.

The bad people who have been renovated have all arrived at Jiehe Commercial Market today, and they have been invited to the government office building to eat wine - eat and practice wine!

They are about to divide into three waves, and take three sailing ships purchased by Wu Haogu, the Ryukyu, Taiwan, and Luzon, to go overseas to start a career that belongs to the bad guys!

That's right, it's a career that only bad people can do!

Colonization and development of this kind of thing, you have to have bad guys take the lead. If you want to let the honest peasants on the Central Plains go out, this is not colonization, but the export of labor services.

As for how many imperial army to protect the peasants who colonized overseas, it is even more unreliable. The imperial army is reluctant to go to the wild places overseas! Are they blessed or not, and go to ask for their own suffering?

In this matter, the armed bad people have to take the lead, first go and clean up the territory, catch some natives as slaves, and develop a land that can be inhabited by the Han people. And then there's the Divine Stick, oh, it's supposed to be the Doctor's follow-up. Instilled in the little bad guys (of course the bad guys have to marry wives, or marry Han women from the Great Song Dynasty, or rob indigenous women) to instill the avenue of "preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires". Let them not forget the great ideal of their fathers - to spread the way of Confucius and Mencius and Chinese civilization to the ends of the sky and the corners of the sea!

In the end, it is the poor people from the Old World who go to the New World to seek a new life and dreams......

Of course, in the history books of the future, the people gathered in the Jiehe Commercial Municipal Hall now are definitely not bad people, but a group of great people who are full of ideals and are ready to use their lives to open the Age of Discovery.

Wu Haogu looked at the great men in the future, and today there are more than 700 "great men" dining at the Jiehe Merchant Municipal Hall, and the hall of the government office cannot accommodate it at all. So less than half of them sat with Wu Haogu. These are all "great men" who have committed murder and arson, and they are all the backbone of colonization!

And sitting at the same table with Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing are the heroes Zhou Tiehammer, Dadao Liu Da, Iron Fist Wang Bao, King Kong Niu Ji, as well as Hu Yanqing, Zhou Gao and others.

Among them, Liu Da, Wang Bao, and Niu Ji have been appointed by Wu Haogu as the leaders of an armed development group of about 240 people.

Now that the banquet has been carried out to everyone's enjoyment, while these guys are not yet drunk, Wu Haogu is ready to give them a final explanation.

He coughed, and the few people who were drinking wine and eating meat all put down their wine glasses and food, and set their eyes on Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu smiled, "The north wind has risen in the past few days, and tomorrow you will go to sea by boat." In addition to the Ryukyu, Taiwan, and Luzon, the warship Zhaocai of the Ichibo Division will also follow with you! I will be able to escort you to your destination safely.

In addition, they will send you enough food to last for a year, and they will also leave you weapons and armor. In another year's time, the City Ship Division will send merchant ships and warships to deliver supplies to you. If you have already created a situation on the island, this official will promote you to be the official of Shizhen Island! ”
