One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 141 Fangla Uprising (7)

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "According to some estimates, the peasant riots in the southeast will be suppressed in one month. That means you can rest after working hard for another month. xianni."

Liu Yi replied, "Yes, Master's house."

Li Xin asked, "Are there any Confucian scholars among the new refugees who landed on the island?"

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, and quite a few. We have written down their names. There are about three hundred of them."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Okay, after this matter is over, you can gather them all for training. After the training, they will be divided into various subjects according to their interests. In addition, ten primary schools in Seoul will be built and let them all become teachers." Teacher, please tell the Confucian students in the history subject that after this incident, all primary school children will have to learn not only Confucianism and arithmetic, but also a subject of history. Children should understand the glorious past of our Han people. In the past, we should also know the humiliation that we Han people have suffered."

Liu Yi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, my subordinates understand."

Li Xin said, "Okay, go and do your work. I will go to the military camp to have a look."

After Liu Yi left, Li Xin said to the two women who were still in a state of confusion, "Let's go, I will continue to take you to see."

Liang Hongyu frowned and said, "Official, what you are doing is no different from rebellion. This is your method of reviving the Han family."

Li Xin asked, "Is the rebellion here within the territory of the Song Dynasty? If it is not within the territory of the Song Dynasty, then there is no rebellion. This place used to be an ownerless land. Whoever occupies it is the owner. This island is where someone revived the Han family."

Liang Hongyu continued to ask, "What are the officials going to do after this island develops, and start a war with the Song Dynasty?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about going to war with the Song Dynasty. I'm not that stupid. Although this island is big, it is still too small compared to the behemoth of the Song Dynasty. Going to war with the Song Dynasty is like hitting a stone with an egg."

Liang Hongyu wondered, "Since the officials don't plan to go to war with the Song Dynasty, how can they revive the Han Dynasty?"

Li Xin sneered, "Although I won't go to war with the Song Dynasty, it doesn't mean that others won't go to war with the Song Dynasty, and it doesn't mean that the Song Dynasty itself won't rot. Just like the peasant riots in the southeast this time, the Song Dynasty now seems to be It’s very powerful, but it’s actually so rotten inside that it will collapse at a push.”

Liang Hongyu frowned and said, "According to the official's intention, the official wants to unite with external forces. If the official does this, I will forgive the Nu family for speaking frankly. The Nu family does not agree with this law."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Madam, don't worry. I won't do something like Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty who donated the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao Kingdom, which will last for thousands of years. Besides, I hate foreigners the most. How could I join forces with them to harm ourselves?" people."

Liang Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What do you mean by that official?"

Li Xin said, "I will not take any action in the next seven or eight years. I will only develop Xinghan Island with peace of mind. In one sentence, it is "Build the wall high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become the king." Then he just watched from the sidelines. No matter how the Song Dynasty continues to decay, my wife will also see how the Song Dynasty is pushed down by others. The Song Dynasty is about to be in disaster, but the court is unaware of it."

Liang Hongyu asked, "How did the officials know that a disaster was coming to the Song Dynasty, and where did this disaster come from?"

Li Xin explained, "The great disaster of the Song Dynasty was in the north. As a general, my wife should have heard some news about the Liao and Jin wars. The Liao Kingdom was now being defeated by the Jin Kingdom, and the imperial court secretly signed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom. It was agreed to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to conquer Liao Dynasty, and the imperial court organized a large army to conquer the Liao Kingdom to the north to recover Yanyun. In fact, the army that suppressed the peasant riots this time was originally going to go north to regain Yanyun. However, the peasant riots in the southeast affected the imperial court's tax revenue, so the imperial court postponed it. When it’s time for the Northern Expedition, we first send troops to suppress the peasant rebellion in the southeast.”

Liang Hongyu said, "It is a good thing to go north to recover Yanyun. If Yanyun is recovered, the Song Dynasty will have a barrier against foreign forces on the northern border."

Li Xin sneered and said, "It would be a good thing if the Song Dynasty could successfully recover Yanyun, but my wife thinks that the Song army's combat power can defeat the Liao army and recover Yanyun. I don't look down on the imperial army. The Song army and the Liao army are at best half a catty in a fight." , if Madam doesn’t believe it, I guess the imperial court will organize an army to go on the Northern Expedition next year, and we will see the results then. If the imperial court fails to regain Yanyun, and the Jin Kingdom sees the face of the Song Dynasty, which is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, humph, I think Madam should be able to think of it. What happens next, when the weak Song Dynasty without Yan Yun as a barrier faces the newly rising powerful foreign forces in the north, I don’t need to say more about the consequences."

Liang Hongyu frowned and said, "The officials have no intention of saving the Song Dynasty."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "The Song Dynasty is no longer worthy of my rescue, or the Zhao family is not worthy of my rescue. After the Zhao family took over the country from the orphans and widowers of the Chai family, there has never been anyone as powerful as Emperor Taizong of Qin, Han, Wu and Tang." Among the emperors with great talents and strategies, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty was even better, but it was a pity that he did not live long. The fact that the Song Dynasty is as weak as it is today has been doomed since the founding of the country. The current Song Dynasty can only be demolished and rebuilt."

Liang Hongyu smiled bitterly and said, "So the officials plan to wait until the Song Dynasty is about to be overthrown before taking action?"

Li Xin thought thoughtfully and said, "It can be said that if there is no destruction, there will be no establishment. Since the Zhao family cannot bring glory to the Han people, they should give up that position."

Liang Hongyu said, "Then the officials took refuge in Cai Jing and became imperial merchants as a cover for all of this."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes, this way I can develop Xinghan Island with peace of mind without running into trouble."

Li Jing said with a sad face, "Brother, why do you have to rebel? You are the only relative of mine. Can't we live a good life?"

Li Xin patted Li Jing and said, "Sister, this may be the mission of your brother and me. We can indeed live our own leisurely life, but once the country is broken, will our home be safe?"

Liang Hongyu said, "But officials can warn the court, why do they have to rebel?"

Li Xin sneered and said, "Madam, do you think that with the current state of chaos in the court, they will listen to me, a lowly magistrate, maybe after I submit the words, they will accuse me of cursing the Song Dynasty. "

Liang Hongyu continued, "But if the relationship between the officials and Taishi Cai is not very good, why don't you tell Taishi Cai? The Taishi is the official's favorite, and the officials will still listen to what the Taishi says."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "My relationship with Grand Master Cai is just a matter of interest. He won't listen to me on such a big matter. Maybe he will abandon me immediately after hearing what I say."
