Great Song Pirate

Chapter 38
Xu Yi picked up a glass of wine and toasted Lin Xiong: "Brother Lin traveled thousands of miles to our Dulong Island. It is really a blessing for our Dulong Island. If Brother Lin doesn't dislike it, then please drink this cup!"

Lin Xiong quickly got up and took the wine glass in Xu Yi's hand, and said with a lot of emotion: "Mr. Xu really praised me, Lin Xiong. I think I am a person who is panicked like a bereaved dog. Not only have I been rescued by Master Xu and everyone Said, don’t give up and let me have this place to stay, Lin Xiong doesn’t know how to thank everyone, it really makes me feel ashamed to praise me like this now! I would say, let me just say one thing today, as long as I, Lin Xiong, are needed in the future, Master Xu can just give orders, even if Lin Xiong frowned, then I, Lin Xiong, were raised by my stepmother! "After speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Several other people toasted Lin Xiong one after another, and Lin Xiong generously took one by one and drank it. It seems that his alcohol capacity is quite good. Talking about the situation in the Central Plains, Lin Xiong sighed: "Originally, I, Lin Xiong, thought that after I voted for Fang Shenggong, I would be able to do something for the world, but Fang Shenggong is such a character, and the people along the way where the rebel army passed by all agree with each other. It is said that they are facing each other, but they still can't shake Da Song Jiye. In the end, they ended up with a decapitated end. It is really sad! The hateful emperor is still his emperor, Tong Guan those A treacherous minister is still an important minister of the court, so is it possible that no one can shake the great Song Dynasty?"

Several people couldn't help sighing when they thought of the current situation in the Central Plains. Xu Yi smiled slightly through Jiu Xing and said, "It's okay not to talk about this matter. The centipede is dead but not stiff. After all, the Song Dynasty is the foundation of the Zhao family for more than a hundred years. How can it be shaken overnight, but Fang Shenggong's actions this time cannot be said to be completely useless. After all, Zhao Ji still stopped his Huashigang, so that the life of the people everywhere is somewhat easier. Zhao Ji appoints traitors like this. He still has to suffer retribution, if it doesn't happen as I expected, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit in Zhao Ji's world for a few days!"

It was the first time for these people to hear Xu Yi talk about political affairs. They usually had little news on the island and rarely interacted with the land, but they didn't know the basis for what Xu Yi said, so they all stopped. The wine cups inside asked Xu Yi what he thought in detail. Li Bo pricked up his ears to listen because he was devoted to serving the imperial court.

Xu Yi smiled and explained: "Although the Song Dynasty seems to have quelled the turmoil in the interior, it is still a great loss of vitality after all, and there are Liao and Jin in the north, and Xixia in the west. These barbarian countries are all eyeing the territory of the Song Dynasty. , he, Zhao Ji, is doomed to be unstable!"

Li Bo finally couldn't hold back and asked: "Military division! When I came to the sea, I heard that the Song Dynasty was preparing to join forces with the Kingdom of Jin to attack the Liao Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom is already in danger, and Xixia is weak. Powerless to take down the Great Song Dynasty, the military adviser said that Zhao Ji's world would not last for a few days, so I don't know what the military adviser was referring to?"

After all, Xu Yi knows the process of historical development, so he has a very clear view on the situation. Now that he has come to this point today, he casually said: "Everyone, don't underestimate the Jin Kingdom, although the Jin Kingdom has only been established for more than ten years. , the population is only a few hundred thousand, but their Jurchens are good at riding and brave. In just ten years since the founding of the country, they have beaten a big Liao country into a mess. Don't look at the fact that the Song and Jin countries are temporarily united to deal with Da Liao. Liao, but the King of the Jin Kingdom is definitely not the kind of person who is easy to get along with. Sooner or later, when they take over the Liao Kingdom, they will definitely turn against the Song Dynasty! And the Jin Kingdom has been fighting for years, although the army it has is far from large. There are many soldiers in the Song Dynasty, but the combat power of the Jin Kingdom's iron cavalry is by no means comparable to that of the Song Dynasty's current army. It is definitely not a joke to say that the Jin Kingdom's army can outnumber ten. , as long as the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the Jurchens will definitely point their swords at the Central Plains and swallow up the territory of the Song Dynasty. He is greedy for pleasure, and has pursued the policy of emphasizing civility over military affairs in the past dynasties, so that there are few generals available in the entire Song Dynasty, and civil servants are in charge of soldiers everywhere. His army will collapse immediately, and even the gods will be unable to save the old man Zhao Ji, and I am afraid that many relatives of the emperor, sons and grandsons of the dragon will be implicated. If I, Xu Yi, are wrong, then everyone can witness today, I, Xu Yi, would like to finish this jar of wine by myself!" Xu Yi drank a lot today, and talked a little too much.

Everyone didn't expect that Xu Yi, an outsider who stayed on the sea all day, knew so clearly the situation on land, and felt that Xu Yi's analysis of the situation was even more thorough, and they couldn't help being secretly surprised. Treated it like a god, even Lin Xiong, who just arrived, put away the last trace of contempt for Xu Yi, thinking that this small Dulong Island is really a place where a crouching tiger hides a dragon, this young military adviser is definitely not an ordinary person, and he can't help but feel sorry for himself. I am so honored to have the opportunity to live here.

"But then again, after all, there are very few Jurchens in the Kingdom of Jin. Although they have a big appetite, they may not be able to eat the fat of Song Dynasty. At most, they only occupy some of the territory of Song Dynasty. The number of periods is not yet over, and we must linger on. This is also a good thing. After all, we Han people rule the Central Plains. If those barbarians are really allowed to eat the Central Plains, it will be the ordinary people who will suffer. I am afraid that their situation will be different at that time. It's even more miserable, so we Han people should not be too arrogant. Once the attention of the court is attracted, a large-scale naval attack will inevitably involve their power. At that time, we will fulfill the ambitions of those foreigners. We absolutely can’t do things that hurt enemies quickly. This is why I have always said that they should not be too harsh. After all, these businessmen are also Han Chinese. As for Song’s country, let’s watch the situation for the time being. Once the state of Jin becomes stronger, we might as well attack the merchant ships of the state of Jin. This can be regarded as helping the people of the Central Plains a little. At that time, we can just let go of our hands and feet to do it, but It's too early to say this now, let's take care of the things in front of us first, don't wait until then, our Dulong Island will be eaten by others instead!" Xu Yi continued.

Several people nodded after hearing this, and felt that Xu Yi was not only smart, but also knew to take care of the overall situation, and did not put the immediate interests first. His vision was much higher than those of them, and they were more convinced by him.
