On the second day of August, information that the main force of the Jin army was moving south was sent to Tokyo.

For a time, it caused great shock among Tokyo city officials.

It is an indisputable fact that the war on the northern front has resumed.

It seems that the people in Tokyo smell the flames of war again.

There is no accurate figure for how many Jin people came.

Since ancient times, the truth has not yet set out, and rumors have spread thousands of miles.

Some people say that the Jin army only came with 100,000 soldiers, and the main attack was Hejian Mansion.

But there are also rumors that the Jin army has arrived with 200,000 or even 500,000 troops.

Some people even say that this time the Jin Kingdom came with all its might, with millions of troops going south in five directions to launch a full-scale attack on the Song Dynasty!

During this special period, Yue Fei, who had been stirred up in Tokyo because of Liu's case, once again entered the public eye.

Of course, as early as half a month ago, many newspapers reported the news about Liu's lies.

The truth is that in the first year of Jingkang, the Liu family fled the war, abandoned Yue Fei's family, and divorced Yue Fei legally.

According to the newspaper, after Yue Fei became prosperous, he helped the Liu family many times regardless of his past grievances.

This news has been announced for some time, but there has not been much heated discussion.

Later, Hu Yin, editor-in-chief of Song Dynasty Newspaper, lamented: People like to watch the case, but they don’t care about the truth. When the truth comes out, not many people talk about it.

In the past half month or so, Yue Fei's affairs had slowly calmed down. Suddenly, such intensive battle reports came from the northern front, which undoubtedly put pressure on the capital of the empire.

The pressure may not be great, and it may not even cause any trouble.

But society is complicated, and people’s hearts are complicated.

War and politics are also closely linked.

Those who have suffered losses in the war will naturally not give up this opportunity.

At this time, although newspapers published many United Front articles.

But public opinion in Tokyo is still divided into two groups, and they are among the people.

One group believes that we should fight the Jin people resolutely.

The other group believes that Yue Fei, the leader of the hard-line war faction, should be dismissed and negotiate peace with the Jin people to avoid the expansion of the war.

Some people even put the root cause of this war on Yue Fei's head.

For example, someone scolded Yue Fei in public: "It is because of this man that Song and Jin Dynasties are going to war again. It is he who forced unarmed people to go to the battlefield. It is he who caused countless families to be torn apart!"

"This man not only abandoned his wife, he was also a war maniac. He harmed so many people!"

Another group of people who supported Yue Fei scolded these people: "It was only a few years ago when the Jin people besieged the city of Tokyo. The gold thieves are still determined to kill me. You healed your scars so quickly and forgot about the pain!"

"A bunch of scum! Yue Fei is protecting us! He is protecting us from being killed by the gold thieves! The soldiers on the front line are using their lives to resist the gold thieves in the north. What do you people usually do?"

"You idiots, you should send them all to Zhending! Send them to Yanyun to see what kind of life the people there live. It's just that these people are too full!"

"..."

In the afternoon, Zhao Ning was summoning Yu Yunwen, who had returned from Fuzhou, in the Wende Hall.

"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, Fuzhou has actually had trade relations with foreign countries in the past hundred years, although the scale is not large. I have also contacted a border merchant, and he is also willing to cooperate with the imperial court."

"Oh, who does this border merchant mainly do business with?"

"With the Mongol tribes in the Yinshan Mountains."

"Ughurs?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"This businessman is very familiar with the place."

"Having been running for more than ten years, I am very familiar with him and can help us connect people."

"Has he ever heard of a man named Yelu Dashi?"

Yu Yunwen was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, he really mentioned this name."

"Oh, tell me."

"He said that five years ago, a Khitan royal family member named Yelu Dashi went to the Yinshan area, gathered eighteen tribes, proclaimed himself king there, and formed a large army."

"Are you still there now?"

"No more. It is said that Yelu Dashi fought several battles with the Kingdom of Jin and later moved westward."

Zhao Ning sighed, it seems that the inertia of history is not so easy to change.

At least Yelu Dashi did not stay.

Forget it, let Yelu Dashi go to the northwest to establish his Xiliao, and there will be a chance to fight against each other in the future.

"Since the land of Fuzhou can be connected to the outside of the customs, we will set up a market there and put it under your management." Zhao Ning said, "In name, I am doing business with the Mongol people, but in fact I want to win them over.

Sometimes I need you to go out of customs."

"Yes, your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to handle it."

At this time, some public opinion reports from Tokyo City were sent to Zhao Ning.

He read it carefully.

In fact, the public's influence on the war was not great. Even if some people in Tokyo were against the war, Zhao Ning was in charge of the war, and united front must be the mainstream.

The reason why he pays attention is actually because he is reading some recent things.

Folks don't have so many fierce voices for no reason.

Who is instigating this behind the scenes?

Who are the people behind Wang Biao?

Where has their moral integrity reached?

If these people oppose money printing or even the New Deal, he, Zhao Ning, can tolerate it.

You see, Cai Mao has always opposed the New Deal, and Zhao Ning has always allowed him to be in power in the political hall.

Why?

Because opposing the New Deal is not necessarily wrong.

but!

You dare to play public opinion on Yue Fei at a critical moment, and on the military defense that I have spent so many years building on the northern front, then that won't work!

Zhao Ning is serious this time. The reason why he has not publicly expressed any opinions on Yue Fei's incident is that he continues to wait.

He wanted to see how many people would jump out as the incident escalated?

Let's stir up public opinion among the people first. Officials should jump out soon, right?

Now it seems that some people do not want to have fun with me for the sake of profit!

Then stop playing!

Zhao Ning asked Yu Yunwen: "Song and Jin started fighting again. What do you think?"

Yu Yunwen smiled and said: "The Kingdom of Jin is a country of tigers and wolves. The peace negotiation between the imperial court and the Jin people is only a temporary measure. The peace negotiation is only short-lived. War is normal. The Emperor Shengming has been strengthening the defense on the northern front in recent years and has appointed many famous young generals.

The Jin people can't get in. Some people are worried, which is normal. Everyone is afraid, but..."

"But what?"

"But if there is someone behind this, the court will investigate strictly!"

Interesting!

Zhao Ning has seen Yu Yunwen's rapid changes in the past two years.

At such a young age, he speaks with such verve.

No wonder that great man commented that Yu Yunwen was "the first person in the ages."

Zhao Ning did not express his position. He did not want to reveal any views on this matter for the time being.

On the fourth day of August, when everything was calm in Zhending and Zhongshan, Zongwang's main army began to secretly cross the Yellow River, aiming directly at Cangzhou.
Chapter completed!
