Chapter 488: A True Opponent


Tie Xi was in a good mood during this time.The first is that the imperial court received a large amount of new tax silver, the second is that the supplementary decree of the new tax system was added to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally the victory of the Great Song sailors in the Ryukyus.Zhu Qiming's battle report was delivered a week ago.Tie Xi was in a very good mood, not only did he give out a lot of silver, but there were also dozens of new martial artists among the sailors.Many officials in the imperial court did not know the news of the war between the sailors and the Japanese in the Ryukyus, and when they learned about it, many people were stunned, but at this time it was useless to oppose it, the battle had already been fought, not to mention the victory.No one would give the emperor eye medicine at this time.However, Tie Xi knew in his heart that this was just the beginning.Father Tie Xinyuan is right, the sea route can bring a huge amount of wealth to the Great Song Dynasty, but the scale of the caravan is still too small now, and this is not in a hurry, and at the same time, in order to protect the safety of the caravan, the sailor will face many battles in the future.Most importantly, he needs to change the discrimination against the sea by many officials in the court, in other words, he needs to give more say to the sailor officials.In the palace.Tie Xi looked at Hao Yunjie and Zhu Qiming's recital, and the smile on his face never disappeared.Hao Yunjie's arrangement on Guibei Island is also very good, if the Great Song Dynasty can occupy this place for a long time, when he attacks the mainland of Wadao Island in the future, he will have one more fulcrum.After Tie Xi finished reading Hao Yunjie's recital, he turned around and greeted: "Sun Jiawan ......"

After hearing it, Sun Jiawan on the side hurriedly responded: "The slave is here." ”"Intended, commend Lu Youshan and Zhou Xiao, and tell Lu Jun by the way that you can go back to Tokyo.""

Yes, Your Majesty."

After Sun Jiawan finished speaking, he left to make arrangements.Tie Xi actually wanted to use Lu Jun, but Jiang Chao worked hard, and since he spoke, he had no reason to refuse.The fleet led by Jiang Chao has all been assembled, and according to Xiupingling's words, Matsusaka Akiyoshi will definitely gather the fleet to attack Ryukyu again for the sake of his own position.Tie Xi also thinks so.He didn't understand the sergeant, but if he were Matsusaka, it would be impossible for him to give up the Ryukyus, so he didn't have a choice.Zhu Qiming's recital said that the sergeants stationed in the Ryukyus of the Great Song Dynasty obviously had the same mentality as those who went to Goryeo and Dayue before, and did not treat the locals as human beings, although he intended to control them, but this incident still happened from time to time.After reading Zhu Qiming's recital, Tie Xi also knew in his heart that this was a problem, but he didn't have an idea of how to solve it, and what he could think of at present was to add pay and strict discipline to the officers and soldiers stationed there.Ryukyu is just the beginning, and in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely have garrisons in many places, so this matter must be properly resolved.After watching the recital, Tie Xi got up from his chair and looked out the window.He thought about everything he discussed with his father, and there was no doubt that the future of the Great Song Dynasty would inevitably be at sea.When the Great Song Dynasty wants to get out of the ocean, the big war with the Japanese people is inevitable, the sea is a natural obstacle after all, how long will this battle be fought, how to fight, Tie Xi has no clue, but at present, the Great Song Dynasty at least occupies the advantage and initiative.Ryukyu Island and Kamebi Island surrounded Wajima from two directions, and if all went well, Wajima would inevitably become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.Tie Xi knew in his heart that the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty were never outside, but inside.The land of the Great Song Dynasty is too fertile and lacks nothing, which leads to the lack of enterprising spirit of the entire nation.In addition to this, Tiexi has one more thing to consider.More and more silver is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.As the territory of the Great Song Dynasty became larger and larger, and more and more money was earned, what could be bought with one tael of silver now might not be able to be bought for ten taels of silver in the future.Thinking of this, Tie Xi was also a little helpless.There is no good solution to this matter, and the most important thing is that if you are still alive when this incident happens, you must be very old.He wasn't sure if he could still maintain his current state of mind at that time.However, to think about it another way, he doesn't need to think about it so much now.There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and when there is a problem, there will naturally be a person who solves the problem to stand up.Didn't his father, Tie Xinyuan, also give his dream to himself?

There is no shortage of talents in this world.It's all about the present.When Tie Xi came out of the palace, he happened to meet the Sun family bowl who came back.The holy decree sent to Goryeo has been written and presented to Tiexi Yulan, and he will leave Tokyo tomorrow and send it to Goryeo.Tie Xi nodded and took the Sun family bowl to Xiuping Ling's residence.It has been half a year since Xiupingling arrived in Da Song.She has been in close contact with Tie Xi for more and more time, and she can obviously feel that Tie Xi is less and less wary of her, although she has never been able to contact the news of the outside world, but she knows that as long as she persists, sooner or later she will get what she wants.At present, what she needs most now is to have a child with Tiexi, with this child, her position will be stable, and this child will also become the future owner of Wajima."

Aren't you curious about the Ryukyus?""

I'm not curious, I can stay by Your Majesty's side, the slave and maid are already satisfied."

Xiu Pingling hurriedly said.Tie Xi listened to Xiupingling's hypocritical words, and didn't bother to expose her: "I can tell you that in the Battle of the Ryukyus, the Great Song Dynasty won, and the Matsusaka family's fleet was completely annihilated, if the Matsusaka family is as you think, it won't be long before you can take revenge." ”Xiuping Suzu had a happy expression on her face, and Tie Xi could clearly feel it, and her body was trembling slightly."

The Great Song Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and it is only a Kyushu, so naturally it is not taken seriously, and victory is also deserved."

Tie Xi told Xiuping Ling about this, and naturally he had his own purpose.He already had arrangements for the Wa Kingdom, which was similar to how Goryeo had dealt with it before.The occupation of the Wa Kingdom is not a good thing for Tie Xi, as the Wa people think, if the Great Song Dynasty really sends someone to take over, it will be no different from splitting the earth as the king.In addition, it was a cross-sea battle to occupy the entire Wa Island, and the price that the Great Song Dynasty had to pay was too great.Therefore, the best way is to divide the Wa Kingdom into countless small states according to the previous arrangement of Goryeo and contain each other, and when the time comes, they will naturally become vassal states of the Great Song Dynasty.Xiuping Ling doesn't speak, and Tie Xi is not in a hurry, when she wants to speak, she will always speak.After Tie Xi fell asleep, Xiu Pingling reopened her eyes.She knew that Tie Xi told her about it to know something from her own mouth, but she felt that now was not the best opportunity, because Song Jun was moving too fast.She needs a child.After having a child, it was time for the Great Song Dynasty to attack Wajima.………… The envoys sent by Minori Heinai wandered on the sea for half a month before they saw a land and the warships of the Great Song Dynasty.Fortunately, the envoys could speak Chinese, so they didn't let the Great Song Dynasty sailors destroy them immediately, and then after communication, the envoys came to Ryukyu smoothly and met Zhu Qiming.After reading the letter from Minori Heiuchi, Zhu Qiming took a look at the emperor who was standing in the Japanese and went to Kyushu, in addition, they actually hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would send troops to Kyushu to help the emperor of the Japanese people regain power and become the real emperor again, and when the time came, the Japanese would completely surrender to the minister.Zhu Qimingsi thought about it for a long time, and did not make his own decision, but wrote all the things on the chapter and sent it back to the Great Song Dynasty.At this time, the new year has arrived.It was also the first time that Tetsuki had celebrated the New Year in a place outside of Tokyo.Wei Chi Jiangwan was already planning to go back, and Han Zhou had already led the army to set off in advance to make safe preparations for the emperor on the way back.Tie Xi had been away from Tokyo for so long, and he had long wanted to go back, and it was also at this time that he received Zhu Qiming's recital.Tie Xi felt that it was a good opportunity.Since, Miori Heiuchi wants to rely on the power of the Great Song Dynasty to let the emperor regain power, then it is not a big deal for them to help her.Tie Xi was hesitant to start a war against Wajima, but after watching Zhu Qiming's recital, he made up his mind.However, he also knew that now was not the time, and it would be most beneficial for the Great Song Dynasty to attack the greatly damaged Wajima at that time after the rebels and the Fujiwara family had won the victory.Before Tie Xi left, the last court meeting was held in Chengdu Prefecture, at which many officials were praised and the atmosphere was very good.In the evening, at Wei Chijiang's mansion, he and Jiang Chao sat together and drank."

The matter of Ryukyu is just the beginning, at most three years, Your Majesty will definitely let Zhu Qiming lead the army to attack the Wa Kingdom, at that time it will be the real war, and now, it is just an appetizer."

Jiang Chao said with a smile.After hearing these words, Wei Chijiang's heart moved.The first thing he thought of was the example of the failure of the Central Plains Dynasty when it attacked Wadao in the past."

Why does Your Majesty have to attack them?""

Your Majesty wants to open up the sea route, Wajima is something that can't be bypassed, it just so happens that there is civil strife on Wajima, if you don't take this opportunity to eliminate them in one fell swoop, how long will you wait?"

After Jiang Chao finished speaking, he paused slightly, looked at Wei Chi Jiangwan who was thinking, and hurriedly said, "You don't dare to spread today's words. ”"Father-in-law Jiang, don't worry, you still don't worry about my mouth......"

Yu Chi Jiangwan hurriedly comforted Jiang Chao.Although Wei Chi Jiangwan was shrewd, he still didn't understand the reason why Tie Xi cared so much about Wadao, and the reason Jiang Chao said was not a decisive reason.Moreover, in recent years, the Great Song Dynasty has had too many foreign wars, although it is said that they have all been victorious, but His Majesty the Emperor has won so many victories, I don't know if it will become arrogant, resulting in more and more wars in the Great Song Dynasty.The country is stable, the finances are abundant, and the fight will be fought, as long as it does not affect the island country, forget it, but the problem is that the current emperor and His Majesty have forgotten who is the biggest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty.It is the Great Liao of the North.
