There is nothing to say about the foreign war in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is full of anger.

But when cursing, you also need to face the fact that the enemies he faces are very powerful.

The Liao Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, Mongolia, and these nomadic peoples outside the pass were stronger and more barbaric than the other.

What's more, the ice is not cold for a day, and the cowards of Song Dynasty were not the beginning of Song Lizong, but the cowards of the country began to be cowards.

Because Zhao Kuangyin felt that he might not be able to defeat the Liao Kingdom and could not recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, he planned to save money and buy it back from the Khitans. From this, it can be seen that the cowards of the Song Dynasty were inherited from the ancestors. If it was placed in the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, it would definitely be a collection of grain and training troops to death, and it would definitely not be a plan to spend money to buy it.

After thousands of years of civilization, the Song Dynasty was the first dynasty to have such a strange idea.

Of course, being cowardly is also a way to save your life. If you are not cowardly, the Song Dynasty may not be able to last for three hundred years.

It’s like many people say that the Sui Dynasty is powerful, but Yang Guang’s three campaigns of Goguryeo collapsed directly with the solid foundation left by his grandfather and father. The only record left was cruelty. Compared with the Song Dynasty, Goguryeo’s strength was not stronger than that of the Liao and Jin Dynasties, but Yang Guang’s strength was much more solid than that of the Song Dynasty, but the three wars were still not won.

Although the Song Dynasty was already relatively cowardly in the start of the scourge of the Sui Dynasty and its military tyranny, the people in the country were relatively happy and peaceful. However, once cowardly became a universal outlook on life and values, the country would only become weaker and weaker.

The Song Dynasty is now so cowardly that it collapses, and in Zhao Qi's opinion, it is hopeless to recover.

But today he still has a little confidence in Zhao Kui. If Zhao Kui, who was once the commander of the army, was indifferent to the destruction of collecting military pay, then the Song Dynasty would be hopeless, and he must find a way to start a new business as soon as possible.

After a brief conversation, County Magistrate Tong left, Zhao Qi, Donggua and others quickly packed up all the booths and stands.

"Brother Zhao is ahead!"

Just as Zhao Qi and others were getting out of their carriage and horses, they were about to set off, and shouts came from behind. Zhao Qi turned around and saw a burly man in gorgeous clothes coming hurriedly with several servants.

"It turns out to be the shopkeeper Han, I feel respectful!" Zhao Qi saw that it was Han Lei, the manager of the brothel who bought a private club in Xiaolongwan Harbor, so he quickly bowed to greet him.

"Haha, it's indeed Brother Zhao. Fortunately, Han came in time to catch up..."

Han Lei laughed and strode up to hug Zhao Qi's shoulders and was very excited. Then he looked around and found wooden boxes smashed all over the ground. He asked in surprise, "Brother Zhao, what happened? I just heard from my servants that there were people from Xiaolongwan Harbor who were raising military pay for the Ezhou front line at the wharf. He hurried over and saw how it turned out like this?"

"Oh, it's a long story..." Zhao Qi said what happened just now again.

After hearing this, Han Lei's face was gloomy and pulled Zhao Qi to the corner and whispered: "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. Gao Yanei is indeed a bit domineering in the mansion city, but he is not a rampant person. I am afraid it is really targeting you. Therefore, I advise Brother Zhao to go back and lie down for a while, and then think of a solution after this matter is calm. As for the fundraising, there is no need to be too ostentatious. After all, you have donated more than 100,000 yuan, which is enough to express your support and feelings for Duke Chong..."

"Han Zhangui, do you think if the Mongols captured Sichuan this time and then broke through Ezhou, what will happen to me in the Song Dynasty?" After hearing Han Lei's words, Zhao Qi asked a question that seemed irrelevant.

"This..." Han Lei said with a somewhat ugly face, "If the Mongols conquer Sichuan and Ezhou, I am afraid the capital will be in danger!"

"That's right. If the capital is also captured, what else can I have in the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Qi continued to ask.

"The Song Dynasty... the Song Dynasty is probably gone..." Han Lei's face twitched violently and his voice was trembling.

"The Song Dynasty is gone, what else can we have? The Song Dynasty court is in such a bad state, but as long as the court is still there, we are still the people of the Song Dynasty, and we can still make money and make money and drink and listen to music. Once the Mongols break through the capital and kill them to Qingyuan Mansion, please read the shopkeeper Han..."

Zhao Qi pointed to the bustling and lively streets and rows of buildings.

"These people, these houses, this prosperous city will be killed, burned and robbed by the Mongols. The former capital Bianliang once had a population of more than one million. What else is there now? I heard that when Duanping entered Luo to recover the three capitals, only rubble and six hundred old, weak and sick were left in Bianliang. The once prosperous Chengdu Prefecture in Sichuan was still a metropolis with a population of one million, far more than Suzhou and Hangzhou. However, what are there now after the Mongols went there..."

"The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. No one was innocent. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, China has never been bullied by the barbarians from the north. The Five Barbarians invaded China for three hundred years, but it has not caused China to be destroyed. However, the Mongols wanted to kill our Han people and occupy the beautiful mountains and rivers of China. If we do not work hard to protect it, a few years later, the prosperous Suzhou and Hangzhou and Qingyuan Prefectures will become like Kaifeng, Luoyang and Chengdu in the past. What's the use of our money?"

"Gao Zhinian's son committed a crime and destroyed donations, which was actually to help the evil and help the Mongolians. He was destroying the happiness and future of all of us. Manager Han advised me to protect myself, but Zhao couldn't do it. Once the Mongolians were killed, they were gone, so what's the use of this? So Manager Han didn't need to persuade me. I would go to the county government to complain. If the county magistrate didn't care, I would go to the government government to complain. If the government government didn't care, I would go to the capital to beat the drums and complain to the emperor. I want the world to know that I, Zhao Qi, set up my life for the country. If I can awaken the patriotic and righteous acts of the people of the world, and 60 million people can unite to donate money enthusiastically, I will definitely drive away the Mongolians..."

Zhao Qi turned his head to look at Han Lei, his face firm and determined.

"Shopkeeper Han, I am going to go to the county government to file a complaint. Please help me and other companions take care of you!"

"Brother Zhao wait!" Han Lei grabbed Zhao Qi's arm excitedly.

"What else does Manager Han have to say?"

"Han admires Brother Zhao's patriotic and righteous deeds, but it is useless to do this. Gao Zhinian is quite powerful in the Qingyuan Prefecture. The prefect Zhao Kui is afraid that he will not be willing to conflict with him. Brother Zhao will definitely not have any result when he goes to the county government office to complain. Even if he goes to the capital to file a lawsuit, the court is now controlled by Ding Daquan. Gao Zhinian heard that he has a close relationship with Ding Daquan. Aren't you just throw yourself into the trap? If Ding Daquan is accused of being arrested, it is probably a luxury to come out alive!"

"So what? When a person dies, it may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. As long as the Mongolians can be driven away, I will not be able to become slaves of pigs and dogs. How can I be cherished if I die a hundred times!"

Zhao Qi looked at the vast Jiang Shui with his hands behind his back and his face was solemn.

"Brother Zhao~" Han Lei jumped anxiously and grabbed Zhao Qi's arm tightly to beg, "Brother Zhao, it's easy to say that he's dead. But now the court is corrupt. I'm afraid that you've been fed the dogs for this righteousness. Gao Zhinian Ding Quan cares about your patriotic acts? Look at the bustling Qingyuan Mansion and how many famous scholars and gentry care about the life and death of the frontline soldiers. The people are just the people. They only worry about three meals a day. Even if they are as patriotic as Brother Zhao, the court does not support them, there will be no result. Brother Zhao is not in a hurry to go to the county government to complain, and follow me to find a quiet place to drink tea and relieve the anger!"

"I knew that Manager Han was worried about Xiaolongwan's investment!" Zhao Qi looked at Han Lei with an unhappy face.

"Why do Brother Zhao say so badly? Although I, Han Lei, am a businessman, I am not just short of tens of thousands of yuan in money. I think Brother Zhao is very consistent with my appetite. Otherwise, why would I go to Yanggong Town to invest in Xiaolongwan? Today's matter is not big. If you really go to the county government office to make trouble, the government will take you into the office and lock you up for ten days and half a month. Your donation will be completely ruined, so why should Brother Zhao bet on this moment!" Han Lei said with amusement.

"Well, what Manager Han said makes some sense. Let's find a place to have a cup of tea before thinking about it!" Zhao Qi nodded after pondering for a moment.

"Brother Zhao will follow me. Today, let you see my little lady in Baihua Building. She is very gentle and gentle!"

When he heard Zhao Qi let go, Han Lei breathed a sigh of relief and asked the accompanying servants to help arrange the carriages, horses, and goods brought by Zhao Qi, and then he couldn't wait to pull Zhao Qi away.
