Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong - Chapter 356 One goes down and the other goes up

Although Han Shizhong suffered a defeat, overall, it did not affect the foundation of the expeditionary force.

only……

If you let an army that has failed once attack again, its morale would definitely not be very high.

Moreover, the false information forced Zhao Xin to believe that Lucius II was indeed a person capable of uniting the people of the Western world.

unless……

Send out the killer and find an opportunity to assassinate the other party.

In fact...

The entire Western world is still quite chaotic.

Some Jews often act as businessmen there.

Recently, due to hostility towards the Islamic world, it may be difficult for Muslims to do business there.

But this does not prevent the other party from sneaking over here.

and……

Even the institutional aristocrats are like this, let alone the lower-level businessmen.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin also felt that it was very necessary to calm down, bribe a few businessmen first, and then understand the specific situation in the West.

Then...

Zhao Xin allocated a large amount of spices to Han Shizhong.

In order to better educate their own future generations.

Zhao Xin also took out this difficult problem and asked them to solve it.

Tell them that Han Shizhong has suffered a defeat on the front line and asks them if they have any good ideas to capture Rome.

Zhao Xin's descendants are not fools either.

Maybe my ancestors would make me the king of a country.

and……

It cannot be said that they have no understanding of the Western world.

After all, many Westerners were captured during the wars over the years.

Teach them Western-related knowledge.

to be frank!To be a prince in North India probably required learning no less than what students of later generations learn.

Things like astronomy, geography, and even knowledge of medicinal herbs and music are all within the scope of their study.

Moreover, in terms of languages ​​alone, there are Chinese, Hindi, Persian, Latin, etc.

These people have to start their education almost from the moment they are born.

For example, when children are one or two years old, there needs to be someone to talk to them regularly.

Only in this way can we better adapt to various languages.

Of course!Everyone may have their own strengths.

Some people have stronger logical ability.

Some people don’t like these things very much and are just very naughty.

but……

These people, in the end, should become smart people.

now……

The third child has passed away.

Li Shishi was also buried with the third brother.

Only Zhao Xin's old bones were still holding on.

And he is even more viable than Zhao Tuo.

If you have to say there is a secret to health and longevity.

Zhao Xin feels that the most important thing is to have a good attitude.

And speaking of it...

Is it...

Is that also his ancestor?Zhao Xin casually asked the Jinshi next to him where Zhao Tuo was from and what his ancestral home was.

After asking around, no one could answer it.

At last……

Well……

It's just normal.

After all, Zhao Yun is from Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

Anyway...

maybe……

This is how the librarian deduced it, but in fact, he himself was not very clear about it.

of course!

None of this matters anymore.

But it is very likely that once this incident is recorded in history books.

So……

This could very well be evidence that Zhao Xin himself is actually very superstitious.

After a test on the descendants of North India, including South India.

These capable people were also selected by Zhao Xin.

at the same time……

Zhao Xin also had to write letters to Srivijaya, Goryeo, Japan, and the descendants of the Song Dynasty.

The letter mainly expresses two points.

Secondly, the country should provide the greatest possible assistance to these princes who go abroad to work, both financially and militarily.

It is better to die abroad than to die in internal strife at home.

Death in this way would be relatively dignified.

After receiving Zhao Xin's letter.

Everyone also took action upon hearing the news.

Because whether it was Srivijaya, Goryeo, Japan, or the Song Dynasty, in fact, there was pressure for the royal family to expand excessively.

It is impossible to say that there was no fighting between these princes.

And with Zhao Xin's order.

And there is one thing to say...

Those who are often excluded are usually those who have abilities but no status.

Of course!It doesn’t mean that those who are likely to be excluded are complete white lotuses.

after all……

Those situations that were originally tit-for-tat now had an outlet for venting.

The main thing is that if you fight in your own country, people will die.

You are also facing huge risks yourself.

What if you were given a chance to go out and become a king?You might think, after all, he is your brother, so just let it go.

It is also possible that many people feel that if they go out, they will risk their lives.

and so……

Instead, it will accelerate the intensity of the internal strife.

But overall, the Song Dynasty did not have such conditions.

The Song Dynasty has always suppressed the princes.

It is unlikely that the internal strife in Goryeo will accelerate, because they must have seen the prosperity of Srivijaya. Perhaps it is only possible that the internal strife in Japan will intensify, right?Because there is less news about the South available in Japan.

As for Srivijaya...

Srivijaya is also unlikely.

then……

Next, it was like the Crusades.

In the east, princes from various countries also came to the west to march forward.

Even in Goryeo...

But three!

After all, life in Goryeo is really hard.

Anyone who has a little dream will definitely want to go out.

At last……

Goryeo sent out 20,000 troops.

Three Buddhas came out together with five hundred people.

The Song Dynasty sent out 50,000 people, most of whom came from the grassland.

A group of people ran towards the west in batches.

In the same year when we received the news, we had already sent people to Srivijaya.

The reason why they can achieve such high efficiency is mainly because the number of people going to sea has been increasing year by year over the years, so they have more ships prepared.

After a rest in Srivijaya, they arrived in Solangi the following year under the leadership of Srivijaya officials.

After receiving some guidance from Zhao Xin, they arrived in Egypt in the same year with a lot of fresh blood, food and other supplies.

Morale is not very high.

The addition of these new people can just make up for the shortfall and give the old ones a boost.

As for the prohibition of massacre in the city, Zhao Xin also relaxed the ban.

Tell Han Shizhong to avoid massacre in the city as much as possible.

Zhao Xin doesn't have much time left.

Zhao Xin must destroy the cornerstone of Western civilization as soon as possible, otherwise, the day will come when the enemy will have cannons and muskets.

Not to mention those castles, even if it was a watchtower, you would have to attack it for ten days or half a month before you could possibly take it down.

With Zhao Xin personally reducing his burden, Han Shizhong suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

He originally thought that the government would scold him harshly.

As for Yue Fei, how should we explain it...

Be reasonable!Zhao Xin felt that Yue Fei was a little too saintly.

can only say……

only……

After all, there was the Jingkang Shame before.

Nowadays, there is not even a Jingkang shame.

natural!

In order to prevent Yue Fei from causing trouble again, Zhao Xin also wrote a letter to Yue Fei.

He clearly told them the threat posed by the West to the Song Dynasty.

Only by conquering the entire West as quickly as possible can we maintain peace in the world.

Tell the other party that he has been interested in learning firearms technology.

to be frank!Can you imagine how many times the intensity of this war will increase?therefore……

You certainly don't want to see your people being shot down by the enemy's cannons or muskets, right?

in fact……

Tolerating the existence of the other person for one day means being irresponsible to your own people for one day.

In Constantinople...

Sure enough! After reading Zhao Xin's heartfelt letter, Yue Fei immediately understood.

Moreover!How do you think the Song Dynasty has been able to enjoy nearly a hundred years of peace?

It was the government who led the people to fight this battle bit by bit.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Yue Fei would still wonder, what is the reason for the wars that rage in this world every year?If we really conquer the entire Western world, will we usher in true peace?

But they were just civilians after all.

After 20,000 people from Goguryeo arrived in the Egyptian region.

This is Zhu Luo.

In fact...

With the scientific research over the years, the route to the Cape of Good Hope has been gradually improved by Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin has basically mastered when the weather is good, the waves are not high, and where there are few reefs.

even……

now……

It's time to send out the army.

Not to mention, they immediately invaded the European mainland.

At least……

and……

If we are lucky, we can occupy an area in western Europe and establish a small kingdom there, providing a stronghold for those who come later.

This is also good.

After all, Zhu Luo has a relatively complete naval organization, so things like this can only be handled by the other side.

And in the West...

It has also come to its most critical period.

The time of reckoning has come!How could Lucius II allow someone who wanted to seize power from the church to rule the city of Rome?

But to be honest, Lucius II was not sure whether the Song Dynasty’s army would come, so when he was thinking about whether to kill Arnold now, he was a little hesitant at first.

Can he still withstand the siege of the Song Dynasty army?

In fact...

At first, Lucius II really didn't want to kill the other party, nor was he willing to do so.

There's no way!

This forced Lucius II to make up his mind.

Just when the other party was about to discuss organizing a meeting of elders, a group of assassins controlled by the church broke into this private meeting and killed everyone there.

Arnold's main force of 5,000 people had been completely wiped out by Han Shizhong under the city of Rome, and he died in the city.

This actually gave Lucius II some military advantage.

Lucius II also completed the eradication of these revolutionaries.

Soon, Arnold and others were charged with crimes, saying they disrespected God and slandered the Pope.

Such shameless behavior naturally attracted everyone's contempt.

But many people simply have no ability to resist, and in the end, they can only watch the other party do it.

In the city of Rome.

In order to prevent people from conspiring and colluding to rebel.

So much so that even in broad daylight, Lucius II had to order people to strengthen patrols.

This has also led to the already hit economy and daily life of Rome being further degraded, adding insult to injury.

The once prosperous city of Rome is now as deserted as a living dead city inhabited by living people.
