Chapter 184: The Pain of the Song People
"Da Lang!!"
"This, this, this, what is this?" Cao Tong couldn't speak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
What is this Tang Yi's head? Isn't Da Song enough for him to toss? actually pondered the 'attack on Liao'.
Well, Tang Yi really didn't think about attacking Liao, this picture was just a picture he was thinking about when he was idle and had nothing to do, and he was playing with the picture on the map.
....
Why did Da Song dream of taking back the sixteen states of Yanyun?
Why did Da Liao kill and refuse to return it to the land of Yanyun in the Great Song Dynasty?
One of the reasons is that this place is too important, and it is the throat between Song and Liao. It can be said that whoever masters Yan Yun will choke the other party's neck.
If the Baigou River silt pond and the Yellow River are a 'wall' between the two countries, then Yanyun is a mountain between the two countries. After crossing this mountain, I went directly into the other party's hometown.
Before, Tang Yi sometimes couldn't sleep at night, and like all Song people, he would think about a question....
Yanyun!
This is the pain in the hearts of all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the dream in the hearts of all Song people!
If there is Yanyun, the Great Song Dynasty will no longer be afraid of the Liao State, and it is only a matter of time before the Liao is destroyed.
In that way, the Great Song Dynasty would be able to deal with the Western Xia wholeheartedly, and there would be no need to deploy so many troops in the northwest and northeast, let alone send money to the 'barbarians' every year.
However, thinking about it, Tang Yi suddenly had a hint of enlightenment:
"Why are you holding on to the land of Yanyun!? Directly destroyed the Liao Kingdom, Yan Yun is naturally not from the Great Song Dynasty? β
"Moreover, who said that to destroy Liao, you must defeat Yanyun? Directly bypass it, come to a black tiger to dig out the heart, land in Laizhou, occupy Laizhou as a base, establish a supply line from the sea, and then radiate inland. β
"Or turn from Chenzhou to the inland river, fight all the way, and occupy all the way. With the strength of the Great Song Water Army, who can cut off its supply lines!? As long as the grain road continues, the city is occupied, the Liao army is good at riding, and the disadvantages of not being good at attacking the city will undoubtedly be leaked, and it will be finished sooner or later! β
Of course, Tang Yi's military illiteracy is a bit 'taken for granted'.
It was a good idea, but there were many problems that he didn't expect and couldn't solve.
...
"I'm joking!" Tang Yi realized that everyone was concerned about the 'attack on Liao' on the map, and couldn't help laughing awkwardly: "Don't take it seriously!" Go on. β
"This idea is a bit naΓ―ve to use in the military, but it is very good in commerce, and it can solve the problem of channels at once."
However, Cao Tong and Pan Feng didn't listen to Tang Yi's words at all, and looked at the picture for a long time.
"Is it possible?" Cao Yan looked at Pan Feng solemnly.
Pan Feng nodded slowly, "As long as you prevent Xiongzhou from crossing the border and encircling Wei to save Zhao, it's not impossible." β
As he spoke, Pan Feng pointed to Bohai Bay and said: "From Dengzhou to Laizhou in Daliao, the boat will arrive in one day, which is too convenient, and the Liao Navy will not be able to threaten this food route at all." β
Both of them are from Jiangmen, and they can understand the doorway at a glance!
Cao Tong nodded, "If Laizhou is occupied, then Zhongjing Dading and Nanjing Zhejin will all be under my troops." Even if you don't attack, you can scare them to death. β
"And from Chenzhou to the Liaohe River, along the way Tokyo Liaoyang, Shenzhou, Tongzhou, Longhua, and even Linhuang, you can take it! The Liao Dynasty lost these major towns, not only did most of its life go to it, but it was also divided into two, and its demise was expected! β
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Tang Yi quit.
"I'm just drawing, can you not be so serious?"
....
Pan Feng didn't pay attention to him at all, "But there are still some issues that need to be considered." β
Cao Tong was even more thorough, "Let's go, go back to the room and talk in detail, be sure to be sure of the details, and present your majesty tomorrow!" β
As he spoke, Cao Jingxiu took a scroll of the same river map.
Take it away!
Looking at the backs of the two of them going out in a hurry, Tang Yi was a little confused.
"Why there's a meeting here, can you get down to business!"
But he didn't expect that
attacking Liao,
Recovering Yanyun,
The temptation of Da Song is too great!
....
Cao Tong and Pan Feng discussed in the room all night, and the third watch sent a ship back to Beijing, entered the city as soon as the city gate was opened, and went straight to the imperial city.
Zhao Zhen went down to the early court, and before he returned to the Funing Palace, he heard the report from the inner servant that Cao Tong and Pan Feng had been waiting for nearly an hour.
When the two saw Zhao Zhen and put the picture in front of Yue Zhen, Zhao Zhen was also dumbfounded.
He also doubted, how did Tang Yi's head grow? He also came up with the idea of attacking Liao by sea and landing operations?
Yue Zhen stared at the picture and listened to Cao Tong and Pan Feng's explanation for a full hour!
Motionless!
After Cao and Pan finished speaking, they hoped to look at Zhao Zhen and wait for the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to make the next decision to change the fate of the Great Song Dynasty.
...
At last...
Zhao Zhen picked up the picture with his own hands, folded it carefully with his own hands, and personally took out a brocade box from the treasure pavilion, and slowly put the picture in!!
Then, handed it to Li Bingchen:
"Put it away....."
Cao Yan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, Zhao Zhen's actions said everything, this picture may never become a reality.
...
He bowed slowly, "Your ..... Retire ....."
After the ceremony, he secretly pulled Pan Feng, but found that this old brother was stiff and trembling faintly.
In the end, under Cao Tong's strong pull, Pan Feng hugged his fist fiercely!
"Minister!! Retire! β
Zhao Zhen closed his eyes helplessly, he knew that he had hurt the two of them today. But what can he do?
He is not his father Emperor Zhao Heng, not a Taiping Emperor who is so weak that he only wants to seek peace, he is merciful, it does not mean that he has no ambition.
He also dreamed of Yanyun, but this picture came out at an inopportune time.
In the final analysis, Zhao Zhen has no money to use soldiers!
The imperial court's financial and tax relief in Jingdong and Hebei is still insufficient, and even the matter of governing the river has to be put down first.
Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo scraped together, demolished the east wall and made up the west wall, barely so that life could go on, how could they have the money to spend more on military affairs?
Moreover, no matter whether the war is won or lost, it is a loser for the people, and Zhao Zhen did not dare to put the people of the Great Song Dynasty in the fire and water for the sake of temporary vanity.
....
"Aiqing stays!" Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving sadly, Zhao Zhen still stopped them.
"Qing should know my Zhao Song's difficulties, it's not that I don't want to, but that the people can't withstand such a big military consumption."
Cao Tong tilted his head and bowed, "Minister, I understand Your Majesty's difficulties...."
"It's good to understand! It's good to understand!! Zhao Zhen was almost drained of all his strength and sat down weakly.
"Let's go down...."
"Retire!"
...
"Come back!"
Zhao Zhen shook violently and stopped the two.
"I'll get this picture out of the brocade box sooner or later!" Zhao Zhen almost gritted his teeth and said this.
"As for when, how long you will have to wait, it depends on when you Aiqing will make Guanlan Business Cooperation bigger and stronger!"
Cao Tong and the two glanced at each other, and their blood was boiling suddenly!
"I'd rather die! Nor is it dishonored! β
"Good!" Zhao Zhen rose up.
"I'm waiting for you!"
...
Cao Tong and Pan Feng met, except for Li Bingchen, no one knew what the two of them had been in Funing Hall for more than an hour and what they said to Zhao Zhen.
However, for the Liao envoy's request to let Hualianpu open a shop in Liaozhongjing, neither Fu Bi, nor Zhao Zhen, nor Tang Zihao objected.
In the last early dynasty of the year, Wen Yanbo played that Guanlan's shipping capacity was needed by shipping, and he asked the shipwrights of the Imperial Court City to build a large ship on his behalf, and the materials and commissions were supplied by Guanlan at a discount.
Zhao Zhen played on the spot.
However, what makes people wonder is that Guanlan's sea ships are actually built according to the specifications of large naval ships.
