Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

In any case, we have to occupy a few small countries first, such as Bagan, which is close to Annam, where there seem to be many rubber trees, as well as Tianzhu. Oh, and two island nations, Malaya and Java.

Well, then send someone else.

So Zhao Ji called Liu Guangshi. He is the commander of the navy of the Southern Military Region. There are more than 200 large warships and more than 400 small warships under his command, but most of them have not been transformed by steam engines, and their speed is relatively slow, but they are used to attack a few. Small countries are enough.

Liu Guangshi is a middle-aged and elderly man, very stylish, well-maintained, and a well-known general of the Western Army. But this guy likes to have fun and is very pompous. Zhao Ji didn't like it very much, but the other party had credit after all, so he couldn't just kill him like he did to Cai Jing.

For Liu Guangshi, this operation is an opportunity for "Nine Six Three". If he can do it well, Zhao Ji doesn't mind reusing it.

For this reason, Zhao Ji specially recruited Chen Guoting, an honest official with his hometown in the south and his own opinions on naval warfare.

"I called you here today because I have important things for you to do. You have to lead the navy to conquer Bagan and the southward Malaya and Java countries. Liu Guangshi, you lead a part, Chen Guoting leads a part, and you can cooperate with each other. , you can also work separately, but I need to tell you two points: first, don’t underestimate the enemy, and second, you can win but not lose!” Zhao Ji looked at the two with cannons and muskets now, if they still failed , then simply wipe your neck.

The two agreed, but Liu Guangshi was not very happy. He was the commander-in-chief of the Hainan Military Region, but now he had to hand over half of his men, so how could he be happy. But it was His Majesty's order that he had no choice but to sneer at Chen Guoting.

"Hmph, there is someone who is a demoted guy. Now he wants to grab power from me, Liu, and then we'll see who the real general is!"

Chen Guoting was a little helpless, and he didn't know that His Majesty suddenly recruited him, and now it's unclear. In fact, needless to say, after all, it was His Majesty's order, who would dare to refute it? What he has to do is to do this well and speak with facts.

Chen Guoting might be a little worried about land warfare, but when it comes to water warfare, he feels that he is still very capable.

Soon the Military Aircraft Office issued an official document, so Chen Guoting was officially regarded as a general.

In the Song Dynasty, it wasn't that the emperor said it, and the matter was over, and it needed to be confirmed by the ministers. It used to be the Privy Council, but now it has become the Military Aircraft Office. This is a restriction on the imperial power, and it also prevents the emperor from making mistakes when he is too stupid.

Of course, when Song Huizong appointed Cai Jingwang Fu and others a few years ago, they were all jesters and treacherous officials. It didn't matter if what the emperor said was right or not, as long as the emperor said what he said, that was what he was, and the system had been destroyed a lot.

Now, although Zhao Ji is confident that he is wise and martial, he does not dare to say that he is completely correct. He still needs to refer to the opinions of the ministers and re-establish this system. Of course, under normal circumstances at this time, the Military Aircraft Office will not object to Zhao Ji's opinion, but as long as it does, Zhao Ji will seriously reconsider it. Those people are all important ministers of the country, and they may consider things more comprehensively.

Chen Guoting set off immediately, since it has been confirmed, of course, he must first get acquainted with his generals, and he must also understand the situation of those countries...

After Zhao Ji heard about Chen Guoting's actions, he was very relieved. It's not that there were no good officials in the Song Dynasty, but all the good officials in the past were relegated and exiled.

Just when I was happy, someone wrote the book and said some of Chen Guoting's crimes, but in fact it was still repeating what Cai Jing said. At that time, Cai Jing was in power. Cai Jing was a new party in name, but in fact he was nothing. He supported whichever was good for him. Luo Zhi's crime was Cai Jing's specialty, but Chen Guoting dared to impeach him, of course he fought back.

Now someone brings up the incident again, which makes Zhao Ji very unhappy, but it is not easy to refute it all at once, because Song Huizong agreed at that time, "Oh, the traitor Cai Jing has already been dealt with by me, why, what he dealt with Can things still count?

Who knows that the minister said again, "Your Majesty, if it doesn't count, will the officials who were demoted before have to be reinstated?

Of course this can't be done, now there is one pit for each radish, where is there any other location?

"Hehe, those who are talented and learned, who can serve the country and the people, and who have both political integrity and talent, of course I will reuse them. People without talent and virtue will be a scourge wherever they go! 35 Zhao Ji is a little unhappy, this guy who talks His name is Deng Zhigang, he is usually a similar subject, but today's performance makes Zhao Ji very dissatisfied.0

"In this case, Chen Guoting's charges have not been cleared, and Wei Chen believes that he is not suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the army." Deng Zhigang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you should make an appointment after you figure it out!" Other ministers also agreed, and they were all part of the old party.

At this time Zeng Zhao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this minister thinks there is no problem, Cai Jing's traitors persecute Zhongliang, and those who are not tolerated by Cai Jing are naturally noble people!

Of course what this guy said is wrong, Cai Jing is a traitor, but those who oppose Cai Jing are not necessarily good people!

"Of course!" Many ministers also agreed, and these were basically members of the new party.

Zhao Ji snorted coldly, of course he knew the struggle between the new party and the old party. At that time, Song Huizong couldn't handle the conflict between the two parties, so he had to appoint Cai Jing. Now that Lao Tzu is here, you still want to fight back and forth!

"Shut up!" Zhao Ji snorted coldly, "The officials want everything for the people, if you only think about your own clique, get out at 3.2!

Don't think that only your own ideas are right and everyone else's are wrong.

What do you think of this courthouse, a vegetable market?

Wang Anshi's reforms are both right and wrong. Sima Guang did not want to reform the law, but he also had the right side, not that it was either left or right, or black and white. For example, arsenic, we all know that it is a poison, but if the amount is used, it is a good medicine, which can be used to treat asthma!

I use people based on their abilities, no matter which faction they are. And what I hate the most is the party, and it is extremely abhorrent to form a party for selfishness. Disperse!""

Zhao Ji left angrily. These guys formed a party and attacked, and the new party and the old party were still arguing in the court.
