Chapter 626 Difficulties

This wooden target is carefully made according to the specifications of the side board of the pawn, and only one process of wrapping leather is missing; in order to facilitate repeated stabbing and beating during martial arts, there is a kidnapper wood support at the back.But Guo Ning suddenly struck with the iron bone, and the whole wooden target flew across, like pieces of paper.

The plasterers and forcemen who were working on the east side of the school grounds were secretly watching Guo Ning practice martial arts while they were working. At this time, many people cheered and said: "Marshal Guo is powerful! I'm afraid there are hundreds of catties of strength on this body." !"

Guo Ning froze for a moment, then smiled and waved to them.

After venting his anger, he still had to plan for something serious, so he turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Bring me some clean clothes, I have to see Jinqing."

When the maritime trade between the two parties was developing normally, Guo Ning often inspected various ports and chatted with some merchants.Among the people from all over the country who were recalled and questioned this time, Zhao Bin and others came relatively late. Previously, Guo Ning had met five or six groups of people one after another and asked many questions.

He already understood that the sudden blockage of the business route this time was due to some people in the court of the Song Dynasty who were concerned about the relationship between the two countries. He used the establishment of the navy as a starting point to fight against his own court and power.The two sides hit it off immediately, and actually mobilized considerable power to suppress Song's maritime trade.

To be honest, Guo Ning really didn't expect the Song Dynasty court to have such control power, nor did they expect them to be so straightforward, forcibly suppressing so many profit-seeking maritime merchants and the people behind them.

The trade between Dajin and the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties can be said to be the largest source of income in the world today.Since Dajin established the country and divided the north and the south, the Dajin and the Southern Dynasties have confronted each other, and the wars have continued.However, both parties do have urgently needed or large quantities of supplies, and must rely on each other.

Under the background of war and uncertainty between the two sides and official trade being blocked from time to time, the smuggling trade on sea and land has always been in a state of high risk and super high profit, so it has been prosperous for a long time.

In the past few decades, in the smuggling trade between the two countries, the Kingdom of Jin has been the one that mainly imports, so it has benefited greatly.

For example, a large amount of copper coins in the Kingdom of Jin were imported from the Southern Dynasties through smuggling trade, which greatly alleviated the money shortage problem in the Kingdom of Jin and supported the court of the Great Jin to a certain extent.In addition, whenever floods, droughts and famines occurred in Dajin, food smuggled from the Southern Dynasties was even more indispensable.

For this reason, Dajin's attack on the smuggling trade has always been close to nothing.The main concern is that only copper coins should not flow out.Those who smuggle copper coins will be sentenced to five years in prison and die if they weigh more than three catties.

However, just because Dajin is extremely short of copper and money, what kind of heartless merchants are there to smuggle copper coins to Song?This is really a question worth considering.

When it came to Emperor Sejong, the emperor only kept the provincial contract and suppressed the greed of the clan kings, but in fact he had to protect the interests of Jurchen's noble relatives and reward the clans who supported him, so the result was in In terms of smuggling trade, turn a blind eye and close one eye.As a result, the Jin Guo Navy established by King Hailing fell apart, and the fleet fell into the control of the kings.

And in the end, following the chaos in Zhongdu last time, the mighty kings died one after another.And Guo Ning took advantage of the situation to take over these fleets, and thus got the first pot of gold from Dinghailing.

Jin Guo benefited from the smuggling trade, but it did not mean that Song Guo suffered from it.

The prosperity of the sea trade of the Song State far surpassed that of the Jin State.As a big country with prosperous commerce, the trade with the Kingdom of Jin is only a part of the huge foreign trade of the Kingdom of Song.

Previously, Guo Ning had heard from maritime merchants that in addition to the Kingdom of Jin, the countries that did business with the State of Song also included the State of Wa, Koryo, Dali, the tribes of Tubo, Dayue, Champa, Bagan, Chenla, Sanfoqi, and the Dalai Lama. There are more than 250 kinds of commodities exchanged in Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Wenzhou, Mingzhou and other ports in more than [-] countries such as food.

As the central country of huge amount of trade, the State of Song was able to make money by importing one hand and exporting it with the other. The horses and furs imported from the State of Jin did have irreplaceable unique advantages.

Especially after the rise of Guo Ning's Dinghai regime, in order to protect his own finances and food support, he completely liberalized and even encouraged the originally restricted horse trade.As a result, the Song Kingdom's direct benefits in trade increased dramatically, and many merchants in Mingzhou also gained political benefits as a result.

When Li Yun's herding station system gradually penetrated into Liaodong, many sea merchants from the Song Dynasty even tried their best to flatter Li Yun in order to obtain a quota of horses.

After a long time, this kind of trade, in which both countries benefit, and those who deal with it is more profitable, naturally entangles a large number of people with vested interests.

Zhang Kai, who fell in the Song Dynasty in the early years, has now bought back his own land, built dozens of acres of gardens, and won the official rank of Tong Shilang.Zhou Keshan, who was recommended by him, also became a guest of many local gentry and officials.

Guo Ning and the staff around him have always felt that they don't have to worry about it, and those who benefit will naturally protect their own interests and oppose any plan that affects their money-making.

But this time, the strength of these people was suppressed by force?

According to reports, it was a group of speech officials who did not know the so-called officials who set off a stir in the Lin'an court; but it was the power minister Shi Mi of the Southern Dynasty who specifically promoted the consensus of the court, and then formed a government order in a short period of time, and carried it out in one go. Far.

This Shi Miyuan has a certain reputation in the court of Zhongdu.

During the Taihe period, the Song State was good at provoking frontier quarrels, and Da Jin used all his strength to retaliate against the Song Dynasty with a large-scale attack on the Nine Routes. He successively captured Zhenzhou and Yangzhou on the East Road, Xiangyang, Jiangling on the Middle Road, and Monk Yuan, an important town on the West Road. , Dashanguan and other places.

However, Dajin is weak after all, and the intelligence and bravery of the generals of the various ministries are far behind when the country was founded; the low-level soldiers mostly use Han'er and Ji troops, and their will to fight is also very problematic; , people everywhere were overwhelmed and launched riots, so that local officials complained endlessly.

Therefore, when the Jin army hit the riverside, they had already tried their best, and in the process, they were bloodied by several powerful soldiers of Song State.As long as Song Guo had a little more patience, Da Jin's offensive could not continue.

At this time, thanks to the weak temperament of the Song people in the Southern Dynasty.A group of peacemakers from the Lin'an court actually joined hands to assassinate the leader of the war, Han Tuozhou, and sent Han Tuozhou's head to the central capital to show their sincerity in seeking peace.According to Yira Chucai, when the court heard that the Song people had agreed to peace talks, the court in Zhongdu was filled with joy.

At that time, it was Shi Miyuan, the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty, who assembled a crowd to assassinate Han Yuzhou. Since Shi Miyuan came to power, he has always been very respectful to Da Jin.

According to common ideals, Guo Ning's ability to take control of Zhongdu by force proves that he is stronger than the Jurchens militarily.Shi Miyuan is even afraid of the Jurchens, why isn't he afraid of Ding Haijun?

Guo Ning really didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly to agree to this operation.Isn't this provoking Daikin and the rapidly rising Ding Navy forces?

Since Guo Ning gathered his troops, it's not that no one has provoked him, nor is it that no one has underestimated the force he assembled.Guo Ning is a person who never takes revenge overnight, and he is used to a rampant style, so he has no scruples in his actions.Those who think they have something to rely on, and then provoke or despise him, will soon be smashed to pieces by him, taking their own lives as the price of stupidity.

But this time, Guo Ning rarely hesitated.The practice of the Southern Dynasties actually affected many subsequent arrangements of the Ding Navy, and greatly weakened the prerequisites for his mobilization of force.However, this approach happened to be stuck on the bottom line of Guo Ning's wanton revenge.

If Song State blocked the grain trade, it really didn't.

The State of Song just normally emphasized the policy of combating smuggling. These policies are all clear legal documents. No one can say that the State of Song does not have the right to enforce its own laws in this way.

Even if the navy's access to food through smuggling is interrupted, there is no such thing.

Summarizing the information reported from various places, the scheduled food input will be about [-]% less.This lack of quota immediately caused a huge gap in Dinghai's position scheduling.But there are still [-]% left, so it is even more important, and there is no problem.

If there is a conflict with the Southern Dynasty because of the lack of [-]%, then the remaining [-]% is probably gone.At that time, what should we do?Could it be that he sent troops brazenly to plunder Song?

Guo Ning is warlike and good at war, but he is not a war madman. He doesn't think that all problems can be solved by war.
