The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

After November, Zhao Qi announced that he would celebrate the Spring Festival in Luoyang this year and would not return to Tokyo. He did this to let the people know that their emperor would not leave Xijing because of assassination; the other was to make public opinion on moving the capital.

The preparations of the government and the people have an adaptation process to reduce resistance from all parties; the third is to improve the status of Xijing by celebrating the New Year in Luoyang and enhance the strength of the court.

With the emperor's decree promulgated, the panic caused by the assassination of the emperor also dissipated, and everything returned to normal. The people were looking forward to a scene of having fun with the emperor. However, the powerful departments of Xijing and even the Song Dynasty did not dare to take it lightly.

, secretly strengthened control. After a series of investigations by the Intelligence Agency and analysis by relevant departments, everyone thought that the Mulayi Kingdom was unable to infiltrate the high-level leaders of the Song Dynasty for the time being, but could not rule out the infiltration of the grassroots. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the emperor

The protection of the emperor transferred all suspicious elements away from the emperor.

At this time, it was the annual recruitment of new recruits and veterans retired, so they took the opportunity to rectify and adjust the Guards first. In order for the generals who could pass the review, they were ordered to retire from active service, and if there are doubts, they cannot be ruled out for the time being.

In the name of training and training, they were transferred to other troops or sent to military academy for study. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the Guards changed their past practice of training new recruits and changed the vacancies from all departments of the army to select and supplement them.

The Ministry of War was selected, and the Guards and the Imperial City Department were responsible for their joint responsibility. They were loyal to Your Majesty and were brave enough to sacrifice their lives for Your Majesty. In other words, they must be politically qualified and have innocent family background; excellent martial arts skills and strong military qualities are the necessary conditions.

Fortunately, it is a sergeant who has served for more than three years and has practical experience; and it is also a requirement for faith. Local religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, shamanism, etc. are not prohibited, but those who believe in Muslims must strictly review them to prevent them from being

Extreme cult exploitation.

As the last line of defense around the emperor, the inner guard brigade has also made adjustments and strengthened. The commander is still Wangfu after healing his injuries. He has added personnel to the emperor's "Shadow" team. They will protect the emperor all the time, saying no

What’s nice is that they should stay away from the emperor like a shadow. Even when they are in court, they should hide in the dark when meeting the ministers and are always ready to rush out to protect the emperor.

At the same time, a contingent team that will be composed of the operation team directly under the intelligence department, the Military Intelligence Department, the Special Forces Brigade and the mountain troops of the imperial guards were also secretly planned. Their selection conditions were more stringent, requiring the team members to have practical mountain combat experience and gun skills.

Accurate, good at camouflage lurking, good at reconnaissance and infiltration, climbing and other mountain tactics, able to skillfully use various weapons and have super strong wild survival ability. The most demanding thing is to require the team members to be more oriented towards Tuque or Persian, the most

It is best to master Persian and read and write Arabic characters, and be familiar with the customs and religious customs of the Alamut region.

Due to the particular nature of this mission, the size of this task force cannot be too large. Otherwise, it will not only easily expose the target, but will also put a lot of pressure on logistics supply, so the personnel are limited to 120 people.

Organize four squads. Each squad can perform tasks separately or cooperate in combat to deal with larger targets. Before that, they have to undergo strict mountain combat training, while also learning the language and text of the target area.

In order to better hide yourself and take action.

On the other hand, the intelligence network of the Song Dynasty was fully launched, collecting information about the Mulayi Kingdom and infiltrating its territory through various means. Understand the target's residence, habits, appearance, life details, family members, guard situations, etc.

It is best to find out all the contents of how many meals he eats every day and what he eats. How many trips to the toilet are to find out. As another component of the Dasong intelligence system, the Four Halls, it has also begun to send personnel to the name of conducting business.

Entering Mulayi Kingdom. Their mission is to establish an operation base for the contingent, provide material support and deliver messages, and provide evacuation channels for them after completing their tasks.

As the king of a country, Zhao Qiong naturally has no chance to relive the heroic dream of killing the enemy chief with his hand. His heart is full of loss and helplessness. Now he has gained status and power, but he has also lost 'freedom'. All he can do is to turn himself into

He knew what he knew in his previous life and provided guidance based on the actual situation, and tried his best to teach them what he learned. In short, he knew very well that this blind operation of special operations that penetrated deep behind enemy lines would be difficult to succeed. On the contrary, the more he prepared, the greater the chance of success...

In the twelfth lunar month, the emperor returned to Xijing to worship his ancestors. Envoys and local officials from all countries all went to Luoyang to congratulate. Luoyang City, which had been silent for hundreds of years, ushered in a long-lost glory. The whole city was decorated with lights and colorful colors to welcome the New Year. The majestic city and grand

The palace presents people's eyes, allowing visitors from all walks of life to feel the rise of the Song Dynasty and become the center of the world again.

After the New Year, Zhao Xiao issued an edict ordering the Ministry of Works to rest and rectify the road leading to the Central Plains to the north and south of the desert, and build post stations along the way. He ordered the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel to send officials to the newly harvested places such as the northwest and Gaochang, set up counties and counties, and fully restored.

The rule of the Song Dynasty was carried out at the same time, and large-scale immigration was launched, and retired state troops, 100,000 imperial guards, 300,000 soldiers, and 300,000 soldiers from Sichuan and other places went to the northwest to settle the border to consolidate border defense. The commander-in-chief was ordered to promote new crops to the northwest and start using them.

Cotton farmers captured from Gaochang teach about growing cotton.

In March, the Shengcai returned to Beijing and presided over the imperial examination. He ordered the Ministry of Rites to add engineering and agricultural sciences to select construction, water conservancy and agricultural talents in the next imperial examination. He also allocated special funds to order local prefectures to set up primary schools in townships and implement free admission for children of appropriate age.

Education, establish special funds to expand county schools and recruit students. At the same time, great scholars from various schools are encouraged to open academies, open academies to teach apprentices, disseminate knowledge, and select talents.

In April, the navy of the expeditionary army expeditioned the Seljuk Empire returned to Quanzhou and reported the victory to the capital. Long Xin was very happy and issued an order to commend his meritorious service. Cheng Xishou was appointed as the upper pillar country and promoted to Fubo Gong; Ma Wei, Li Quan,

Wang Gang was appointed as the general of the State Guarding Kingdom, promoted to Lieutenant General, and granted title to Marquis; all the meritorious personnel of each unit were rewarded and ordered to go to the capital to offer prisoners. In May, Cheng Xishou led his troops to the capital to offer spoils, and the people of the capital of the Song Dynasty gained their knowledge again.

Zhao Qi was of course happy to see the piles of gold coins. He knew that plundering was the fastest way to get rich, otherwise there would be no continuous wars that would continue throughout human history, but this time the harvest was still

To his expectations, this was equivalent to the financial and tax income of the Song Dynasty for several years. With the support of this large amount of wealth, he could do more and speed up the pace of preparation for war.

What Zhao Qiong valued more was the Arab scholars, craftsmen and stolen books that were invited to the Song Dynasty. This would accelerate the Song Dynasty's absorption of Western culture, make full use of the mature Western technology, and make the best use of the great power of Western technology.

The cultural and technological level of Song Dynasty laid a solid foundation for the peak. He immediately ordered the establishment of a special storage for Xihua Pavilion in Xijing to stole books, organize scholars who are proficient in Arabic and "invited" scholars to translate, edit, and select a group of them.

Young talents entered the cabinet to study.

'Genyuan', a mysterious place with countless secrets in the Song Dynasty, naturally would not give up on this opportunity to learn. They took all the top scholars and craftsmen they captured in order to transform what they learned at the fastest speed.

To improve one's scientific research level, break through bottlenecks that are difficult to overcome, and then absorb and use it for one's own use and put it into practice. The Song Dynasty's scientific and technological level is ahead of the world.

Although many of the handsome and tall Arab war horses died on the way, more than 300 horses survived a long journey and reached the land of the Song Dynasty, and they soon became the emperor's new favorites. Zhao Qiong knew that these war horses were the generals.

It is conducive to improving the breed of horses in the Song Dynasty, but the population is still too small and needs to be bred to form a scale. Only a few horses were left for themselves to ride. The rest were sent to the horse farm and carefully cultivated to contribute to the growth of the Song Dynasty cavalry.

.

As for the beautiful Persian singers presented by the Expeditionary Force, Zhao Qiong knew that he would not have the blessing to the soldiers who had made meritorious, but he didn't even give them his father. He was worried that he would create a few mixed-race brothers for himself, which would ruin the royal family.

Bloodline. All the exquisite gold and silver objects were filial to my father, and I only left those sharp swords as a gift for appreciation. Another gain was to clarify the reason for my assassination from the achievements of the Expeditionary Force.

This time, the Song army's expedition defeated several armies of the Seljuk Empire, captured Baghdad, abducted a large amount of property and population, and forced the Caliph to pay huge treasures and sign a series of agreements to sell sovereignty before redeeming himself

, avoid becoming a prisoner of the Eastern people. This incident can be said to have shocked the entire Islamic world. The Crusaders failed to conquer Baghdad and captured the Caliphate, but they were accomplished by the Eastern people who were thousands of miles apart, and they also made it

They learned the name of this Eastern country - the Great Song Empire.

Zhao Qi knew that the expeditionary army's move shocked the Arab world, opened up the maritime trade routes and obtained great benefits, but he also became a public enemy of the entire Muslim world. Compared with the Crusaders who conquered them several times, they might be even worse.

They were just afraid of the power of the Song Dynasty and dared not speak out, and they did not dare to force their troops to conquer. They were afraid that they had already said so many bad things in front of Ala.

As an alien Mulayi country in the Islamic country, although they are enemies of the Seljuk Empire, they believe in the same god after all, which also makes them think that their god has been insulted. They are angry and want the Song Dynasty to send assassins.

Want to kill himself, the "heretic"! In this way, they can not only exasperate themselves, but also become heroes in the Islamic world through their actions, which will help them promote their own doctrines, recruit more believers, and become the new religious leaders of the Islamic world

.Zhao Qi became a victim of the altar of the Sheikhs of Mulayi Kingdom and a stepping stone on the road to success... (To be continued...)
