Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 618 Xuanwu Ten Years

"Your Majesty, after these people return to Dongpu, will they tell the Dongpu court the news that we are trying to attack Dongpu? At that time, the Dongpu people will be prepared, isn't it bad?" Wang Shu said after the more than ten Dongpu people left.

Just now when Zhao Chen summoned these Dongying people, Wang Shu also stayed aside.

"So what if the Dongying people are prepared? Now Dongying is a mess, and there are very few lords everywhere who obey the emperor's orders. Even the emperor himself is under the control of powerful ministers! After these people return to Dongpu, there will be some Dongying lords more or less." Take refuge with us! Or maybe we haven’t gone to Dongpu yet, Dongpu itself is already in chaos!” Zhao Chen said with a disdainful smile on his face.

Historically, Japan did not establish a truly centralized rule until the 14th and 15th centuries! Before that was the Warring States Period in Japan, but now it is a chaotic period earlier than the Warring States Period! In Japan now, the battle between the old-fashioned nobles and the newly born warrior class is extremely fierce. If history does not change, the first shogunate composed of warrior groups will appear in Japan fifty years later!

It is precisely because of the chaos in Japan that Japanese pirates ran rampant from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty! Most of those Japanese pirates were nobles or samurai who failed in the Japanese Civil War and were forced to wander overseas.

"Your Majesty is right!" Wang Shu said after pondering for a moment.

"Our Great Song army is unparalleled. Even if there is no chaos in Dongying, they are definitely not our opponents! Now it's just a plan in advance!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Koryo that Wang Gui and General Wu Gong went overseas. They found two large islands in the north of Dongying. Wang Gui suggested to establish a new province in Beihai! They said that the two large islands are huge. , the two big islands and the surrounding islands add up to another Koryo!" Wang Shu said.

"Whether to establish a province requires careful investigation! Moreover, even if new territories are discovered now, the number of people in our Great Song Dynasty is limited, and it is difficult to really occupy those places." Zhao Chen said.

"That's right, our population is still too small now! But after twenty years, our population will at least double, or even more. At that time, we can encourage people to immigrate to farther places." Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.

Now that the imperial court implements a policy of encouraging births, there is no problem in doubling the population within 20 years! In the modern society of later generations, China’s population was only 400 million when it was first liberated, but by the 1980s, China’s population had increased to one billion, and it still went through a long and difficult period! Now as long as the policy is correct, the population may even reach 300 million within 20 years! At this time, the population of the entire world is only a little over 500 million! Only with a larger population can we rule over more land. With the Central Plains as the core, the Chinese civilization will radiate to all directions!

"Your Majesty, last year a large number of Mongols went south to plunder property, and now it's early autumn, and they will go south again in winter. The military department is going to hold a related meeting. Do you want to attend, Your Majesty?" Wang Shu said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

In the blink of an eye, it's already September, and the mountains around Yanjing City have turned golden!

Outside Juyongguan, there is an endless grassland.

The grass on the prairie has also turned yellow. At this moment, a team of hundreds of people is galloping on the prairie.

The horses ran extremely fast, and they kept heading forward. After walking for a long time, a herd of wild deer appeared in front of them. A young man in the lead laughed loudly. A wild deer fell to the ground.

The cavalry moved forward, and some soldiers packed up this wild deer, and the speed of the rest of the team gradually slowed down.

"Husband, it has been ten days since we left Yanjing City. In these ten days, I don't know how many things will happen in Yanjing City. All the political affairs of the world are sent to Yanjing. Are you not going to deal with political affairs?" The stunning woman in white said.

"Leave political affairs to the Government Affairs Council! I want to see if I am not in Yanjing City, the Government Affairs Council can operate normally!" said the young man.

"If everything in the Administration Council is really normal, doesn't it mean that the country no longer needs a king? With the Administration Council, the National Assembly, and the Supreme Court in place, what does the country want the king to do?" The woman in white thought for a while and said.

"In the future, maybe the country really doesn't need me as a king, and it doesn't need other kings either!" the young man said lightly.

This young man is Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the woman in white next to him is Song Qingyao.

"The country doesn't need a king? Then what will you do in the future, husband?" Song Qingyao asked in surprise.

"There are still many imperfections in the national system, and it is still impossible for me to completely leave the court in a short time! I will continue to improve the national system! In the next ten years or even longer, I will do this kind of thing!" Zhao Chen road.

"Will our child be the emperor in the future?" Song Qingyao asked.

"Of course the emperor is still the emperor! It's just that in the future the emperor will no longer have to deal with state affairs, but will be a symbol of the country! Our children are still emperors and princes, they still enjoy the highest glory, and they are still the rulers of the country in name! At that time, I once said that I want to completely eliminate the law of the world of "the suffering of the rise and fall of the people", so that the world will no longer experience the pain of dynasty changes, and I will gradually achieve this step! From now on, the king is just a vacant position, and the world will not Go through another dynasty change!" Zhao Chen said.

"The world will no longer experience dynasties!" Song Qingyao couldn't help thinking at this moment.

"Let's go! This time I'm going to stay outside for half a month, and we can play for a few more days! A Yao, it's much better to be with you and hunt on the endless grassland than to stay in the palace all the time." !” Zhao Chen laughed loudly, and walked forward again!

In November of the 10th year of Xuanwu, when it was snowing heavily, the National Assembly finally officially passed the Member Election Act.

This election law stipulates that all men who have reached the age of eighteen have the right to vote and be elected! It's just that the electoral bill has to be implemented gradually! From the 10th year of Xuanwu until the 20th year of Xuanwu, only men who had entered the school or served in the army or the Production and Construction Corps had relevant rights. After ten years, the right to vote and be elected was gradually released to the whole world!

Zhao Chen originally wanted to join women's related rights, but after careful consideration, he did not do so.

This is an era where men are preferred over women. If women's rights are forcibly added now, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar in the world, which is extremely detrimental to the promotion of the legal system.

It was snowing heavily outside, in the imperial study, Wang Shu and Qu Duan came here.

"Your Majesty, this year we have established a very long line of defense north of Shangjing. There was news last month that the Mongols were already ready to move. This time it seems that the entire Tatar tribe is going south to rob us." Wang Shu said.

"How should the military respond?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The military department has ordered 100,000 troops from Liu Kai's department to go north to Shangjing to cooperate with Li Xianzhong's department to resist the Mongols! In addition, Datong Han Shizhong's department has also moved northward to enter the former Xixia's Keyimen. If the conditions are ripe, Han Shizhong can directly Lead the troops from Keyi Gate into the Mongolian grassland!" Qu Duan said.

"When are you going to completely eliminate the troubles of the Mongolian grassland?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian grassland has a population of more than one million. Almost all of their men are warriors, and their women can also fight immediately, which means that there may be hundreds of thousands of people resisting us by then! The battle of the grassland is almost another battle." For the Jurchen battle, we have to use several military regions and countless logistics reserves, so the military department is still considering it." Qu Duan said.

"Mongolia is the border trouble of the Great Song Dynasty, and it must be eliminated!" Zhao Chen said.

"Within five years, we will definitely send troops to Mongolia! Now, the other ministers of the Government Affairs Council do not agree to send troops." Qu Duan said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, although Mongolia in the north is a border trouble, its impact is limited. At most, they only invade the area of ​​Shangjing! But if we use large-scale troops against Mongolia now, it will have a great impact on the economic development of the entire country, so we plan to postpone it for a while! But As Master Qu said just now, within five years at the latest, we will definitely use troops against Mongolia!" Wang Shu said.

"Very good! After Jurchen, our Great Song used martial arts to restore the country, so we must never forget the word "wu"! The Great Song can no longer emphasize literature over martial arts as before. Anyone who dares to invade my Great Song will be punished no matter how far away!" Zhao Chen road.

"I understand! Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Wu Gong led 2,000 troops into the North Sea to explore. There is no news until now. Goryeo has lost the news of Wu Gong." Wang Shu said.

"Pay close attention to this matter." Zhao Chen said slowly.

He had already received a report from Wang Gui, knowing that Wang Gui and Wu Gong finally entered Siberia! It is now November, Siberia must be extremely cold, he really doesn't know if Wu Gong can survive there!

Further east of Siberia is the Bering Strait, and across the Bering Strait is the North American continent Alaska.

For a moment, Zhao Chen's gaze seemed to pass through the palaces, and he saw the distant North American continent...
