Chapter 678 The enemy is in Kaifeng Mansion 6

Zhao Ji became more and more diligent. By the middle of the night, he had not even gone to rest. Of course, he did not sneak out of the palace to enjoy the nightlife of Kaifeng Prefecture, but instead had bright eyes and strong spirits to deal with military and national affairs in Chongzheng Hall.

In a side hall in Chongzheng Hall, the lights were brightly lit. The Great Song Dynasty Saint King and the candidate Khan Zhao Ji were guarding a map platform, concentrating on fiddling with a bunch of small flags symbolizing the army.

The center of the map shows the situation of the Western thieves and their surroundings in the northwest ethnic separatist forces in the Song Dynasty.

Judging from this map, the Western thief is already a rabbit's tail cannot grow! The Song Dynasty has already concentrated a huge number of troops in the eastern part of the Western thief, in the Hengshan area. The small flags on the Hengshan line represent the elite troops from Jingyuan, Huanqing, Fuyan, Hedong and other routes. The total number of troops that have been mobilized has at least 200,000, including empty quotas and auxiliary troops...

Well, even if there were a lot of empty space, the four elite forces gathered together were enough to defeat the Zuoxiang Army deployed in the Wuding River Basin. After the late emperor Zhezong captured the Hengshan-Tiandu Mountain line, the Song army had already become a high-level force against the Western thieves in the Wuding River Basin on the terrain.

As long as the Western thief's Iron Harrier and the garrison cannot go east to Wuding River, then with this 200,000 (including empty quota) army, it will be enough to seize the silver, stone, Xia, You and other states in the Wuding River Basin.

Once these prefectures are obtained, the Song Dynasty will be able to send the "voluntary government soldiers" collected from Guanzhong, Hedong, Hebei and other places to the military farming field. Within three years, the government soldiers who are fighting should be able to save more than 3 million stones of food and grass. In addition, the food collected from Baibo Transport in Luoyang and the sixth routes in Shaanxi can be collected 10 million stones.

With so much food, Xingqing Prefecture and Xiping Prefecture should not be difficult to seize! Even if it is a protracted war, the Western thieves can be killed in the Xingping Prefectures!

This time, the plan for the Western Expedition "personally" was much more reliable than the five-way attack on Xia launched by his father Emperor Shenzong.

Zhao Ji did not expect to achieve his merits in one battle, but wanted to last for a long time with the Western thieves! He did not seek to destroy the Western thieves, but only wanted to force the Western thieves to move westward.

Isn't this a requirement high?

And so far, this plan has been implemented very smoothly! The secret words of Xining, Jingyuan Shuaisi Lu Bubaojie, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Wu Haowen have all arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture.

A great victory! A great victory beyond imagination! In a short time, the knights in front of the palace (the knights were actually selected by Wu Haogu) and the dragon warriors swept away the Huang, Shan, Kuo and other states like a bamboo shoot, and destroyed the 20,000 troops of Renduo Baozhong in one fell swoop! Force Renduo Baozhong to surrender!

In this process, the knights in front of the palace and the dragon-harming heroes also captured Xifan, and the Western thieves were no less than 30,000! Such a record could probably be compared with the Xuan Armored Cavalry of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin?

A trace of slightness appeared on Zhao Ji's face, no, it was a lot of complacent. No wonder those barbarians called themselves "Tian Khan" behind their backs. It seems that the ability of the family to use military forces was, among the emperors from ancient times, only Taizu of this dynasty, Taizong of Tang, and perhaps even Guangwu of Han can be compared!

So the wise and powerful official family appeared in the Song Dynasty, and God was really favoring the people of the Song Dynasty!

However, in a very good situation, some unharmonious things have also occurred.

First of all, the generals on the front line suddenly started arguing.

Xihe, Zhong Fu, deputy envoy from Jingyuan, reported accusing Gao Qiu of the army of killing Liang and provoking good deeds and being domineering. Taoxi Fu Office's supervisor, Yi, written and good-written martial arts, reported Gao Yongnian's army of killing Lang, and also reported Zhong Fuke to deduct rewards and shock the morale of the army. Tong Guan secretly reported Gao Yongnian's killing Liang and Zhong Fu to miss the military opportunity. If Zhong Fu hadn't grabbed the number of killing Liang and beheaded, Zhuo Luocheng and Qin Wangchuan had already taken it down!

Why did the argument start? This really made the Holy Lord Zhao Ji a little confused.

As for killing Liang and false reporting of beheading, maybe there is one?

Zhao Ji actually doesn't care much about killing Liang or something. Anyway, he is not a citizen of the Song Dynasty. What's the point of killing a little bit? Why bother to make a fuss? Zhong Fu and Wu Haowen are both nerds, right? Why do you do this kind of thing? Isn't it good to just pretend that it hasn't happened?

However, the number of beheadings of the knights in front of the palace and the dragon tyrants is indeed too large. This is a big problem. The beheadings and prisoners are more than 30,000!

If all these beheads and prisoners are recognized, they will be more than 3,000 houses!

Zhao Ji suddenly realized that he was a dignified official family and even worried about not having a house... This is too ridiculous, right? The official family has no house anymore!

When Zhao Ji thought of the bad house, he thought of his old friend Wu Haogu.

I have to ask him about this!

"Official family, it's time to rest." Yang Jian came over again and advised Zhao Ji to rest early. "You slept so late for several days, which will definitely make the Empress Dowager and the Empress worry."

Zhao Ji responded, but asked about something that had nothing to do with sleeping: "Have you sent the imperial edict to Wu Dalang?"

The entrustment for Wu Haogu was written by Zhao Ji in Chongzheng Hall today. Because he found out that he had no house, more than 3,000 units (actually, it doesn’t take so many, more than 2,500 units are enough). There is no such thing as this! Wu Haogu has to come back soon to find a way. If there is really no way, he has to use Kill Liang to make trouble. I can only be sorry to Gao Qiu...

...

Night falls.

More than forty giant candles as thick as children's arms were lit high, illuminating the hall in Jiehe Municipal Office building where guests were entertained as bright as day.

Such a number of candles is not cheap, and even in the palace, they rarely order so many at a time. It’s not that they can’t afford it, but to pretend to look simple... As a saint, 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 some money to show that he was particularly rich. Only in this way would people believe in the financial resources of Jiehe Shipin and Jiehe Commercial Market.

So today, Wu Haogu asked the political office hall to light white candles mixed with spices. This thing is also a product of Jiehe Market. Candle merchants transported large pieces of white wax (a secretion of tree insects) from Sichuan, and then added spices, cotton threads and dyes transported from Shanghai. They were processed into various candles with fragrance in Jiehe Market. They were 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 Song Dynasty who were about to sail abroad...

It was Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing who collected bad people from Shamen Island! At first there were more than 300, but later there were a group of them. Now there are 724 bad people.

Wu Haogu has roughly read their resumes, including murderers, setting fires, bandits, flying thieves, and water thieves... Not only are there men and bad guys, but also a dozen female bad guys, all of whom have collected Wu Haogu to Shaman Island for training. Hu Yanqing and Zhou Gao are responsible for the transformation of them, and now they have reformed themselves and are ready to be a bad guy who is useful to the Song Empire.

Oh, that Zhou Daxia has been 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 Shamen Island. Ximen Qing can't always do this! So he promoted Zhou Daxia.

The bad people who have been transformed have all arrived in Jiehe Commercial City today and were invited to the Political Institute Building to have a drink and practice wine!

They were about to divide into three waves, taking three sailboats purchased by Wuhaogu, Ryukyu, Taiwan and Luzon, to go overseas to start a bad career!

Yes, it’s a career that only bad people can accomplish!

If colonization and development are done, bad people will take the lead. If you want to let the honest farmers in the Central Plains go out, this is not colonization, but labor export.

As for how many imperial troops are needed to protect the farmers who colonize overseas, it is even more unreliable. The imperial army is unwilling to go to wild places overseas! Do they have the blessings to seek hardships?

In this matter, the bad people who have been armed must take the lead. They will first clean up their territory, capture some natives as slaves, and develop a land that can be inhabited by the Han people. Then there is the charlatan, oh, it should be the doctor who follows up. They instill the way of "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires" to the little bad people (the bad people of course have to marry their wives, or marrying Han women from the Song Dynasty, or stealing the indigenous women). Let them not forget the great ideals of their fathers spread the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and Chinese civilization to the ends of the sky and the corners of the sea!

Finally, it is the poor from the old continent who go to the new world to seek new life and dreams...

Of course, in future history books, the ones gathered in Jiehe Commercial and Municipal Office are definitely not bad people, but a group of great men full of ideals and are ready to use their lives to start the era of great navigation.

Wu Haogu looked at the great people in the future. Today, there are more than 700 "great men" dining in Jiehe Commercial and Municipal Office, and the hall of the government office cannot accommodate them 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 backbone of the pioneering colonial development!

As Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing were sitting at the same table, the hero Zhou Tiechhui, the sword Liu Da, the iron fist king Bao, the King Kong Niu Ji, Hu Yanqing, Zhou Gao and others.

Among them, Liu Da, Wang Bao and Niu Ji have been assigned by Wu Haogu as the leader of an armed pioneering group with about 240 people.

Now the banquet has come to everyone's enjoyment. While these guys are not drunk, Wu Haogu is ready to give them a final explanation.

He coughed, and the few people who were drinking and eating meat all put down their wine glasses of food and turned their attention to Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu smiled, "The north wind has risen these days, and you will take a boat to sea tomorrow. In addition to the Ryukyu, Taiwan, and Luzon, the warship of the Maritime Department, Zhaocai, will also follow you! You can definitely escort you to your destination safely.
