"Dalang, Dalang, what are you thinking?"

The gentle voice of the kind father rang in Zhao Lun's ears, and Zhao Lun realized that he was distracted. His good brother Zhao Ping had finished his tribute, and he also fell on a chair with a golden sword. The annoyingly handsome face was filled with a treacherous smile!

"Ah, my son, I'm thinking about the Western Expedition to the Golden Rome." Zhao Lun quickly raised the topic to the expedition to the Roman Expedition to the West.

Zhao Kai nodded slightly and smiled, "Okay, then let's discuss the matter of the Western Expedition to the Golden Rome! Lun'er, Ping'er, who will talk about you first?"

Zhao Lun and Zhao Ping glanced at each other and understood in their hearts: the interview for national recruitment has begun!

Not only Zhao Kai, Zhao Lun, Zhao Ping, and his son were present today, but also four great ministers from the east and west palaces, including Yu Yunwen, Lu Baoshan, Yue Fei, and Li Fuchen, as well as the four kings including Zhao Shu, Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Yi, and the four most powerful people among the Zhao Kai brothers! There are also four Confucian masters including Xiao Buyan, Hu Xian, Liu Zihui, and Wang Zhongfu.

There are both leaders of court officials, leaders of royal families, and masters of Confucian priests, and representatives of all aspects. Although the final decision of who is the foundation of the country must be in the hands of the kind father Zhao Kai, the kind father Zhao Kai will definitely pretend to listen to the opinions of these people. These people have gathered together, indicating that the "examination" has begun.

You must take the exam well!

"Father," Zhao Ping said with a smile, "My son is young, is it younger brother, please ask the elder brother to answer first!"

Now the two brothers are sitting together for the interview, so the person who answers the questions first will definitely take advantage of it. If the answers prepared by the two people are similar, the person who answers the questions later will appear to be plagiarizing.

As for the answers that the person who answered later, it is actually not necessary to refer to the answers that the person who answered first.

Because the questions raised by Zhao Kai were already as expected by the two, they had already discussed and discussed with their staff and think tanks, discussed and discussed, and had already had a very mature plan.

Zhao Kai smiled and nodded, saying to Zhao Lun: "Brother, you answer first!"

Since Zhao Kai spoke, Zhao Lun was not polite. He immediately stood up, bowed to Zhao Kai, and replied, "Father, my son is obeying the order. My son thought that if he wanted to destroy Rome, he would join forces with Dashi. Rome and Dashi were mortal enemies for hundreds of years, and both wanted to destroy each other and then quickly. After the Seljuk Turks entered the Dashi Kingdom, the Roman Kingdom was defeated repeatedly, and they continued to lose their troops and lost their territory, which was already a sign of destruction. However, after the remnants of the Jin thief, Nianhan, was in steadfast, and after the remnants of the Jin thief, Rome obtained firearms and 100,000 Jurchen warriors, and their troops were suddenly strong. Over the past ten years, they had already seized many territory. If they continued to fight like this, the Dashi Kingdom might be destroyed.

If we could send elite troops to carry firearms to help Dashi, Dashi Country would definitely be willing to drive forward for me. With the help of the Turkic elite troops of Dashi Country, the matter of the Western Expedition to Rome would be twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, the Western Expedition to Rome must be a lasting battle, and quick victory cannot be forced, so my son believes that the court should have long-term plans for 10 or even 20 years of success. At the same time, we have to make careful calculations, not only to reduce expenses, but also to increase revenue, so that we can maintain the war with war and last for a long time

As for how to open up the source, I think I still have to find a way from the trade with the Tianzhu Kingdom. As far as I know, the wealth of this Tianzhu is far better than that of the big food and Rome, and the money is too much, the soldiers are weak, the products are abundant, and the internal parts are cracked. I can easily take it slowly, not seeking whales, but only erode."

Zhao Lun said so well! Not only did he talk about military issues, but he also mentioned economic issues, diplomatic issues and bullying the Indian San, which seemed particularly thoughtful.

The twelve "sages" present nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and it seemed that they were all planning to vote for Zhao Lu!

"Ping'er," Zhao Kai and Zhao Lu finished talking nonstop, then looked at Zhao Ping with a smile, "Your brother is thoughtful and has already said everything you can think of. Is there anything else you can add?"

There must be!

Otherwise, the prince would have let Zhao Lun be the one!

Zhao Ping smiled and said, "Father, my son thought that the eldest brother's method was too troublesome, and it was too messy in military, diplomacy, civil affairs, trade, and sectarian issues. The most troublesome thing was that it also involved the small court of Emperor Nan. All kinds of troubles were mixed together, and one thing was to cause trouble and defeat the whole body. It was really not a magic plan."

Zhao Kai glanced at the boss Zhao Lun and found that Zhao Lun's face looked a little ugly. Obviously, Zhao Lun himself also knew what the shortcomings of his big plan were?

Zhao Lun's big plan seems thoughtful, but it is too complicated, and it puts together many things that will interfere with each other, such as making money in India and uniting with the Great Food Kingdom to beat Rome, these two things will definitely interfere with each other.

Because the Mediterranean Europe is an important trading partner of India, a large amount of gold and silver flows into India every year.

If the Song Dynasty united the Seljuk Turks and the Romans into a group, the goal of making money in India would be difficult to achieve.

In addition, the struggles in worshiping God, Tianfang, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism will be mixed with military, diplomatic and trade issues.

The most troublesome thing is the conflict between the Song Dynasty court and the Southern Emperor. Did Emperor Zhao Chen really hope that the Song Dynasty’s 1,000 treasure ships would enter the West? Did he really oppose the Jin and Rome? Will he really support the Tianfang Sect?

The answer is obvious!

Emperor Zhao Chen, the Southern Emperor, is now the overlord of the two western countries in the South and the West, the monopoly of the toll-blocking business of the West Attachment Strait, and is also the mortal enemy of the Tianfang Cult forces in the Western Sea and the Tianfang Cult in Tianzhu. At the same time, he and Jin Rome actually have no serious conflicts.

The Golden Rome could not enter the West, nor could it steal Zhao Chen's good deal, nor could it be possible to worship the God religion to Southeast Asia.

Both sides are "family friends" and can also deal with the Tianfang Sect together!

Although Zhao Chen did not dare to publicly oppose the Song Dynasty's expedition to the Jin and Rome, how could there be fewer secretly stumbling?

How much harm did Emperor Zhao Chen in Southern! If you let him stumbling, will this Western Expedition go smoothly?

Of course, Zhao Lun all knows these principles. He is a navy. How could he not know about the sea? But he has to answer questions!

"Second brother, what are your best strategies?" Zhao Lunqing asked with a face.

"Yes!" Zhao Ping said, "If you don't go by sea, you can hit it by land!"

"What?" Zhao Lun looked at Zhao Ping in surprise, "Second brother, do you know how far this land route is? How can the army drive over? How can it replenish supplies?"

Zhao Ping smiled and said, "Brother, if we don't go, we will not be the main force."

"Who will go?" Zhao Lun asked.

"Khitans, silencers, Tatars, Naimans, and Jurchens," Zhao Ping said, "This is a trick to drive tigers and swallow wolves, and it can kill two birds with one stone!" He smiled, "Win the territory and kill the northern disasters, you won't lose money! Not only is it not a loss, but it also doesn't require much capital investment. If you have a strong body and a good at riding and shooting, there are still some soldiers who are good at riding and shooting."

"Are those barbarians so easy to drive?" Zhao Lun was of course not convinced, "You have been busy on the grassland for two years, and even the Nai Barbarians and the Zubkrei tribe have not been pacified!"

Zhao Ping smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? As long as there is a place for them to grab it, they can kowtow to us!"

In fact, the Naimans and the Buklie tribe have been driven away by Yue Yun. Although they can still fight, they have no income after repeated defeats. How long can they last? If there is a good place for them to grab them now, they will certainly not continue to resist.

"They worship God!" Zhao Lun reminded.

The Naimans and the Buklie tribe both believed in Nestorianism. It was precisely because of their belief that Zhao Pingcai was unable to subdue them for a while. Once these barbarians believed in any religion, they would be much more pious than Venetian merchants and Jiangnan scholars.

Zhao Ping smiled and said, "That's just right for them to attack Qincha grassland, Alan Kingdom and Rakshasa."

Zhao Lun whispered: "Aren't you afraid that they will collude with Jin Roma?"

Zhao Ping shook his head and smiled, "Of course I'm not afraid anymore! Big brother, it's hard to accommodate two tigers in one mountain! Can the Golden Rome lose the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Alan Kingdom? Can Wanyan Xiebao give up there to the Naimans and the Shubu people?"

Of course it is impossible that the Eighteen Rakshasa princes and the Alan Kingdom were too important to the Jin Romans!

The food in Constantinople is supplied by Rakshasa, and among the Jin Roman army, there are many Rakshasa and Alan's soldiers, the Greeks in the core of Eastern Rome, who are unwilling to join the army. The troops who believe in God in Asia Minor are not willing to join the army. In the original history, the Komuning dynasty could only rely on Western European mercenaries to fight.

Although Wanyan Xiebao has his own Jurchen warriors to rely on, there are too few Jurchens after all, and after they become citizens of Constantinople, their combat effectiveness has also declined. Therefore, if the Golden Dynasty wants to maintain it, it is impossible for it to be without Rakshasa and Alan Knights.

Zhao Ping then said: "And there are many fierce and intractable barbarians on the grassland and in the old forests in the northeast. Since we can drive them, we will send them to the west in batches! We won't lose money if we win or die. And we don't have to pay them military pay. What a great thing!"

Zhao Lun's face was so ugly!

He was the navy and did not deal with the barbarians from the north.

Zhao Ping is an army and has also got Yelu Dashi's daughter. How to drive the barbarians, Zhao Lu is not as good as Zhao Ping!

"Da Lang!" Just when Zhao Lun didn't know what to say, Zhao Kai spoke at this time. You are over 40 years old, so it's useless to be an old prince. Why not be the emperor just now!"

What? When the emperor was in trouble, Zhao Lun was stunned again and again. Could it be that my father wanted to abdicate to me? Is there such a good thing?

Zhao Kai continued, "Dalang, just be the emperor of Dongzhou!"

What? The Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? Zhao Lu was stunned again. Before he could ask a question, Zhao Kai said again: "The thousands of treasure ships in Jiaozhou Bay are just for sending you to Dalang of the Dongzhou Continent. When will you set off?"
