Han Qi stayed in Qingyuan City for about a month. He was worthy of being a figure from the Western Army. During this trip, Han Qi came for the Japanese. As expected, he found out a lot of information about the captured Japanese.
Civil strife broke out in the island nation.
Only then did Han Qi find out what he wanted.
Ever since Genji, the leader of the country, gave birth to a prince, the prince has been growing up in recent years. Genji intended to hand over power to this prince and invited many gentlemen from the Song Dynasty to teach him.
Of course there are benefits. The prince is getting better and better, but human energy is limited. Genji only focuses on the present and almost forgets the world outside the main city.
Since the Minamoto clan defeated the Taira clan, the island nation has been completely unified for the first time in history, and even the two islands in the south have been included.
The small local forces were wiped out one by one by Genji. The consequence of this was that power was completely concentrated in the hands of the general Genji, but Genji had no intention of being intoxicated with power.
I'm afraid only Liang Chuan knows the truth.
Genji is actually a woman!
No matter how powerful women are, their nature cannot be changed. Motherhood always comes first. The great power given to her is fleeting. In the end, there must be an heir!
The child Liang Chuan gave birth to was her last hope!
The world is already in her hands. As long as she cultivates her son well, everything will be worry-free in the future!
At this time, Genji felt like Dongfang Bubai was hiding in the Black Wood Cliff. She had no desires and desires, and the island was peaceful, so she would not be aware of the unrest under the water!
Genji's only cronies are Izumo Aguo and Bian Qing. Bian Qing is a monk and has no regard for power. Aguo is a woman. What can be accomplished? The power has long been divided up by a bunch of generals under his command.
The Genji shogunate was not as complete as the Song Dynasty. It was as if they had just left the country with nothing, and all kinds of rules and regulations were blank. After the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song Dynasty came up with the idea of dividing itself into three parts. The plan of breaking off brothers and sisters barely managed to continue the national destiny of the Song Dynasty for three hundred years.
Because the Genji had a genius like Liang Chuan, they helped them speed up the historical process for hundreds of years. The system was not suitable for the actual environment, and instead became the biggest obstacle to social progress!
Genji can't take care of the ruthless gang of knife-wielding men under his command. They have nowhere to use their strength, so they focus on seizing power and aggression!
After the domestic peace, many samurai were laid off and unemployed. It was better to ask them to farm than to beg for food!
The ranking of the people in the island country was too low, and they couldn't come up with a big plan that could last a hundred years. To put it bluntly, they were leaderless, until they met Murong Chao!
In order to revive their family, Murong Chao, a Xianbei man, had tried every means for hundreds of years and attached himself to various forces in the world. All kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies were enough for them. Murong originally wanted to find opportunities in the Song-Xia battlefield, but Li Yuanhao was an unparalleled tycoon. His rank was a hundred times higher than that of Murong. He did not trust anyone, let alone these ambitious Xianbei people. Li Yuanhao did not treat Murong Chao It's already a miracle.
The method proposed by Murong Chao is very simple, it requires money and territory!
The island may have no choice but to extend its knife to the south!
This plan is the insidious part of Murong Chao. He was using the Japanese to fight against the Song people. Only after the world was in chaos did he have the opportunity to take advantage of it!
The country first seized the financial, military and political power. Genji himself voluntarily gave up the power in his hands, and several generals under his command began to fight for power. However, Genji's prestige was still there, so they did not dare to rebel boldly.
Overseas, the Japanese had free time to work as pirates overseas. To them, the Song Dynasty was like a beggar entering a rich family, and taking just one piece would be enough to last a lifetime. They sent people to the coast of the Song Dynasty to start grabbing money and territory. , to accumulate capital for future power seizures.
It's just that the level of the Japanese caught by Liang Chuan was too low. They knew very little information, and they couldn't find out the core information even if they were interrogated!
But that's enough!
The Song Dynasty already had enough enemies, and now another one was added.
It's time for Han Qi to return to the DPRK!
This time Han Qi went back knowing that it might affect the direction of future imperial policies!
At least coastal defense, which had been neglected for hundreds of years, needs to be taken seriously this time. The sea is no longer the last line of defense, but has become the front line!
To manage coastal defense well, we must pay attention to the military along the coastline and coastal towns!
This is a huge, expensive and laborious project!
Many dynasties died not from war but from poverty.
When the court has no money, it will reach out to the people. The final result is that the officials will force the people to rebel and destroy the country!
The Song Dynasty could be so strong and support the Khitan imperial party in the north because the national treasury was full of copper coins and the people did not have to pay exorbitant taxes. But there was another enemy, and it was still the kind of enemy that scratches an itch!
If we don’t fight, the people will suffer greatly, and the damage will be endless. A hundred years from now, the coast will no longer be a dangerous place for human survival. If you want to fight, you don’t know how much it will cost. It’s like using a giant crossbow to fight mosquitoes. The benefits are completely out of proportion to the cost!
It stands to reason that Han Qi saved Quanzhou this time, inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese, and captured countless prisoners, which was a great achievement. But Han Qi understands better that according to the information he has, there will be more Japanese and more Japanese rebellion in the future!
So Liang Chuan's plan, no, it should be Xia Song's plan, is good. To control the Japanese, we must first defend the sea, and to defend the sea, we must first capture Yizhou!
What he is worried about is when he will propose this idea and how many people will support him!
The Dangxiang and Khitan people only came to rob them of their poorest land, without damaging their bones and muscles. The Japanese were different. They were like moths, but they wanted to corrode their economic lifeline. Once these lifelines were lost, the Song Dynasty would be destroyed in the future. Where does the military pay come from to fight against the tigers and wolves in the north!
This time, Han Qi also knew the seriousness of the situation. What he admired even more was Xia Song's vision, which was unique and long-term!
Duan Peng lay in bed for more than ten days and finally got off the ground normally. Although his body hurt, he was even more anxious.
Qingyuan was in ruins, waiting to be revived. How could he stay in bed without being injured to death? There was Han Qi in front of him, both public and private. Duan Peng had to risk his life to get to the ground.
Han Qi had been in contact with Duan Peng for a few days, and then he learned that this popular person around Xia Song was so insightful, did not follow the crowd, and had his own ideals and beliefs. Now Han Qi felt more at ease. It will only be better to give it to such people. Only such upright officials can manage this city well!
The Weiyuan Building is already halfway up, and the main beams have been erected. The scale is more than double that of the original building. The building is a two-story structure with wing rooms on the left and right and a back hall behind the house. This kind of structure is very different from the structure of the government office compound in the Central Plains, but it is exactly this that shows the magnanimity of Quanzhou Prefecture, a majestic city that embraces the world!
Being conservative means being closed, innovation means being open, and being open means being accepting! Businessmen from all over the world can see the attitude of the city just by looking at this government office. This is the place to do business!
Han Qi led Duan Peng to do many things, even taking Duan Peng with him during interrogations, and Duan Peng was indispensable when rebuilding Qingyuan.
Before leaving, Han Qi talked a lot with Duan Peng. At the broken and rebuilt Linzhang Gate, Duan Peng was frightened by Han Qi's words.
The Linzhang Gate was later made taller and thicker, using fine granite transported from the seaside in Luocheng. Even if Liangchuan's cannon of truth came to blast it, it would take half a day!
The city gates in the cities along the southeast coast are all relatively low, and few have such majestic and tall gate towers as the rebuilt Linzhang.
"If possible, the rest of the city gates will need to be raised by Mr. Duan!"
"Don't worry, sir. When I take office, I will be responsible for the people of the city to the end!"
It is true that the prefect of Quanzhou is a good job, but now it is no longer a good job, because since the Japanese will come for the first time, they will come for the second time. Since ancient times, it has been believed that there is no place to stay in the battlefield!
If one day the city is destroyed by the Japanese, then you will have to wait for death!
When they heard that the Japanese were attacking, many people were sweating for Duan Peng, and a few of them were glad that they were not assigned to Quanzhou Prefecture!
There is no point in what the two of them said. As long as Duan Peng is not stupid, he will definitely not let this city be breached a second time!
Han Qi nodded and said, "I heard that you are from Xia Song?"
But no one with any level of knowledge would say such a plain talk.
But this person is Han Qi. If he talks in a roundabout way, he will lose his identity!
Duan Peng paused for a moment, then looked at the expressionless Han Qi, straightened his back, and said with a smile: "It seems that's what everyone in the world says."
Han Qi was also surprised, and he could hear the meaning of Duan Peng's words.
Duan Peng didn't hide his secrets. Seeing Han Qi being so direct, he responded: "Master Liang Chuan must have met him and knew Liang Chuan's identity. When Prince Zhao returned to the capital, Liang Chuan came to me and asked me if I wanted to be this person. As the prefect of Quanzhou, Xiaguan knew that his qualifications and ability were not enough, and he did nothing. Who knew that when he was transferred, even Xiaguan himself was dumbfounded. He really filled this gap. From then on, Xiaguan was labeled as a Xia party Tag of."
Han Qi coughed and said, "Xia Dang is the wrong word."
Duan Peng was startled again and said, "Yes, I am wrong."
Han Qi said: "It seems that Xia Song really wants to run the southeastern coastal defense, otherwise he would not let you guard such an important position by an outsider!"
The two of them talked without saying anything, but they both knew it well!
Duan Peng also didn't expect that his small transfer would have such deep political roots.
"I only thought that you and Liang Chuan were both Xia Song's people. I didn't expect that this layout is too big. Today I made it clear to you directly. The location of Quanzhou Mansion is extremely important, and it is also an important town of the imperial court. I am worried that this will happen in the future. It’s even heavier. If you have any inconvenience, feel free to come to me!”
Duan Peng thought he heard wrongly and looked at Han Qi in disbelief. . Han Qi was also considered an important official in the imperial court. He wanted to climb up but couldn't. He didn't expect this favor to come so suddenly!
Han Qi is also straightforward. He wants to conquer Yizhou and take the great contribution of opening up the sea and expanding the country into his own pocket. Liang Chuan must not be able to hold it back, so someone of his own must come forward. The only candidate is This Duan Peng!
If Duan Peng dares to be honest with him, it is a vote of confidence for him. If he is not Xia Song's person, then he can fight for it. To put it bluntly, officialdom is so straightforward!
