"Mr. Yan! Mr. Yan! We are loyal to the Celestial Empire! We are loyal to the Celestial Empire!"

Yan Pei angrily shouted: "The emperor did not let you kill the king!"

Turning around, he scanned the circle of ministers and asked: "Everyone, is this regicide a serious crime?"

Everyone was trembling all over and said quickly: "Regicide is a serious crime!"

Yan Pei added: "What about the former leader of Jiaozhi? How did he hang himself?"

Everyone immediately jumped out and pointed at Zhang Boyu, saying with righteousness and righteousness: "Zhang Boyu killed him!"

Zhang Boyu stood in the crowd and was stunned on the spot.

"Okay, let's push them out together and chop them."

"Manager Yan, I... I am serving the emperor! I am serving the emperor! Don't kill me..."

Zhao Ning: I don’t know this person, please don’t get me wrong.

The three people were pushed out, and screams came from outside and echoed in the hall.

As the sound of the knife slashing on the neck was heard, the screams also disappeared.

Everyone broke into a cold sweat.

But they were not the most nervous. The most nervous was Wang Jun on the side, his whole body was wet with cold sweat.

Yan Pei arranged for the royal family of Jiaozhi to be buried.

The Jiaozhi Kingdom was basically destroyed.

The general direction of this war and political operation naturally came from the Zhao Guan family. The executor Wu Lin used thunderous means to accomplish everything in a short period of time.

Jiaozhi has been independent for more than a hundred years and has formed its own independent consciousness of sovereignty, with a monarch, ministers, and institutions.

If you want to destroy Jiaozhi, you must let the Jiaozhi royal family disappear.

Otherwise, someone may use the royal family to stir up trouble and cause trouble in Jiaozhou anytime and anywhere.

Next, this place will be a granary of the Song Dynasty.

If the situation continues to be turbulent, Zhao Ning can only take the trouble to send troops, and eventually fall into the quagmire of war, spending a lot of money, but gaining nothing.

Only in this way can we quickly pacify the situation, ensure the smooth establishment of the Annan Protectorate, and ensure that the grain from the granaries in the Red River Plain can be transported to Tokyo City, Hebei, and even Fuzhou in Liaodong.

Moreover, just killing the Jiaozhi royal family and the Zhang family is obviously not enough.

The bureaucrats and landlords here control huge interests, and they need to take advantage of the chaos to clean up a group of them, so as to reduce obstacles to the next vigorous development.

In the evening, the whole city was brought under control and the killing basically stopped. Wu Lin then entered the city surrounded by his personal guards and arrived at the palace.

Naturally, there were countless casualties along the way, but Wu Lin didn't seem to move an eyelid.

There is an old saying in China: No matter how big a country is, if it likes war, it will perish; no matter how peaceful the world is, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger.

War is very, very cruel. Don't be wary, but don't forget war either.

They like to fight, and in the end the bureaucrats will use various means to pass on the costs to the civilians.

But if the war is forgotten and people don’t know the cruelty of war, they will be addicted to the short-term peace. Or some immature people shout for war every day, but when the war really comes, they may not really go up.

.

Only by objectively understanding the cruelty of war can we respect it and not avoid its cruelty.

In this way, we will not start a war rashly, let alone be paralyzed by a short-term peace.

At least, this is Zhao Ning's understanding of war.

In these years, the core layer of the Song Dynasty, centered on Zhao Ning, was basically influenced by this understanding.

If we must talk about the justice of this war: Annan has been an inalienable part of China since ancient times.

Next, it is easier to clarify some bureaucrats. After all, the direct person who killed Wang Jun and his family was Li Yanghuan, but many ministers also agreed.

On the night when Wu Lin entered the palace, Wang Jun was tacitly allowed to take revenge.

Of course, the target of revenge this time is not the royal family, and he will not be labeled as regicide if he kills him.

After all, so many people have died, and no one seems to care if a few more die.

On April 14, people from Champa approached the Red River Ferry in Thang Long City.

Before they arrived, they heard that the Celestial Empire had sent troops to Shenglong City and had already entered.

The envoys who occupied the city immediately turned around and fled the place quickly.

At this time, the Song army that occupied the city had besieged the capital of the city for nearly a month.

From the Battle of Champa and the Battle to Retake Cochin, we can see the huge difference between the commanders of the two sides.

It didn't take long, but Wu Lin was able to raise a strong army and carry out a war to destroy the country.

However, Qian Yuqing's troops were still besieging the city after winning the battle.

Qian Yuqing also tried to attack the city several times, but failed to capture it.

After all, there are still tens of thousands of troops defending the city within the capital of Champa.

If Wu Lin were here, it would probably take up to ten days to attack this kind of city.

But we also have to see Qian Yuqing’s ability objectively.

Although the royal capital has not been captured yet, the damn Song army has already started doing business in Champa!

That's right, Qian Yuqing was doing business in Champa while besieging the city.

During this time, a large amount of goods were transported on board the ship and headed north along the trade route. It can be said that they returned home with a full load.

Qian Yuqing even arranged for people to go to the countryside in groups to purchase fruit wine and rice, and then load the goods onto the ship one after another.

The villagers in the countryside near the royal capital were all beaming with excitement after receiving the copper coins.

These goods are transported to the Hangzhou Municipal Shipping Department, where they are the goods of the Municipal Shipping Department and then sold to the private sector.

On this day, Qian Yuqing was sitting in the military camp, settling accounts.

"Shaoqing, since the army landed, up to now, we have bought 100,000 shi of grain." Li Kun looked quite excited, "The rice in Zhancheng is really cheap. I remember that the price of grain in Hangzhou City is six cents.

(600 Wen) for one stone, you can actually buy one stone for one dollar here.”

It can also be seen from here that the working styles of the northwest and southeast factions are quite different.

It's not about who is good or who is bad. A stubborn and cunning place like Jiaozhi really needs to be dealt with by the Northwest Iron-blooded Sect like Wu Lin.

Qian Yuqing said: "If you transport it back, you can earn at least 4 yuan per stone, 100,000 shi, 40,000 guan. It has only been a month, and you are only collecting grain near the royal capital. Counting other commodities, can you earn 10 yuan?"

Wan Guan?"

"Including ivory, incense, sapphire wood, treasures and other commodities, it is more than enough to earn 100,000 yuan."

Qian Yuqing smiled and said: "Okay, I will write a letter to His Majesty right now. Half of the first phase of our mission has been completed."

"What should we do about the capital city of Champa?" Li Kun asked, "Should we attack again?"

"Attack?" Qian Yuqing shook his head, "Why should I attack it? Surround it. Since the people occupying the city are willing to do business with us, let's quickly start the business."

Li Kun thought: "Why are the kings of Champa surrounded by us, but the people of Champa are still willing to do business with us?"
