When Li Gang saw that Zhao Huan's face was uncertain at first, and then indifferent, Li Gang knew that something bad was going to happen.

It has been almost a year since Zhao Huan ascended the throne. Although more than half of this year was either at war or on the way to war, a group of ministers headed by Li Gang had almost felt a little bit of Zhao Huan's temper.

When an official is unhappy, the calmer his face is, the heavier the anger is in his heart!

Compared with the officials in the Song Dynasty who relied on scholar-bureaucrats to rule the world, today's officials hold military power and win consecutive battles. One person can overwhelm the court and the entire scholar-officials. They are the real masters of the world.

, the immortal hero who follows his words!

Now it's fine, just because of the word "emperor", the official family was immediately offended!

Even though he knew that the official's anger was not directed at him, Li Gang still felt a little cramped in his calves, and he wanted to slap himself in the face——

You said everything was fine originally, but the officials wanted to invite Mr. Wan and Mr. Duan to come to Bianjing for a gathering, so let him invite them. Why did you bring up the Emperor of Japan when they had nothing to do?

Sure enough, before Li Gang and others could speak, Zhao Huan said in a deep voice: "I am the emperor, but a Japanese slave dares to falsely claim to be the emperor? How dare he bully me like this!"

Li Gang couldn't help but make a sound in his heart. He quickly took advantage of the opportunity before Zhao Huan ordered to summon the Privy Council bosses and said: "I am going to report to the officials. I think that the Japanese barbarians are strong and will be bandits. If they are weak, they will be humble. In fact,

They are tigers, wolves, and beasts that must be killed!"

Zhao Huan glanced at Li Gang unexpectedly and said in a deep voice: "If there is anything else behind, let's tell it together."

Seeing that his worries could not be hidden from the officials, Li Gang thought about it for a while and then bowed and replied: "The Japanese slaves disrespected the emperor, and they should be punished! But now that the Song Dynasty's treasury is really unable to support the cross-sea expedition, why don't the officials

An advance envoy to issue instructions?"

When he heard Li Gang say that the treasury had no money, Zhao Huandang was a little confused and asked: "Where is the money from the treasury?"

Li Gang coughed, pointed to the north, then pointed in the direction of Xixia, and then whispered: "Since the siege of Bianjing, the officials first personally conquered Taiyuan, and then personally conquered Xijin Prefecture, and were destroyed in one battle.

Xixia has already spent a lot of money in the treasury."

"If that's all, then that's fine. After all, the officials got a lot of money back from the Xijin Mansion and the Xixia Treasury, which can be considered a supplement to some extent."

"But the officials also ordered the establishment of social schools!"

At the mention of social studies, Li Gang couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart, and he became more and more enthusiastic when he attacked Zhao Huan: "Did the officials forget that they said at the beginning that a rural area must have a social studies?

"

“There is no charge for books, no charge for students’ meals, and uniform distribution of clothes to students, but no charge!”

"Even excluding the newly-attached areas such as Yanyun and Xixia, our Song Dynasty originally had more than a thousand prefectures and counties and countless villages. Even if the gentry and common people donated money and food, the cost of social studies would be a bottomless pit!"

"So, the treasury has long been out of money!"

After finishing speaking, Li Gang said with a look of sadness and anger: "In fact, even if the government suspends the construction of social studies and allocates money to expedition to Japan, there is nothing we can do!"

"If you want to expedition to the Japanese country, you must have a navy. But the emperor wanted to ban the sea and ordered all the Mulan boats and other sea ships to be burned. Now that the Song Dynasty is almost in a situation where no sail can go to the sea, how can we go on an expedition across the sea?

?”

After Li Gang said this, Zhao Huan also fell silent.

Li Gang is right. Even if there is money in the treasury now, even if Zhao Jixiang is willing to sell his calligraphy and paintings for military expenses, without the Mulan Boat and the navy's warships, the Song Dynasty will indeed be unable to send troops to the Japanese country.

.

What a love affair this is!

Everyone else is cheating, but that idiot, Emperor Zhao Jixiang, just relies on his strength to cheat future generations!

But that so and so once said, the more you think about it, the angrier it becomes, the more you take a step back, the more you lose!

Zhao Huan felt increasingly uncomfortable when he thought that he could not use troops against Japan due to various reasons. If Zhao Huan felt uncomfortable, it would be impossible to make others feel comfortable.

After a moment of deliberation, Zhao Huan turned his head and ordered: "In accordance with my decree, let the Ministry of Industry choose a location to rebuild the Mulan Boat, redesign and build a warship suitable for naval battles, and let the Privy Council also make preparations and retrain.

Navy.

Also, from today onwards, all Japanese in the Song Dynasty will be repatriated. From now on, no Japanese will be allowed to set foot in the Song Dynasty. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed by the people, no matter what!"

Master once said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

But Zhao Huan is not a gentleman, Zhao Huan is an emperor.

Moreover, there are old and new grudges between Zhao Huan and the Japanese state——

From the time when Li Er was defeated until the first year of Emperor Qianning of the Tang Dynasty, in 264 years, Japan sent a total of nineteen batches of envoys to the Tang Dynasty!

Each batch of "envoys to the Tang Dynasty" ranged from more than 100 people to more than 500 people, including ambassadors, deputy envoys, judges, recorders and other diplomatic officials, as well as clerks, doctors, translators, painters, musicians, sailors, etc.

Attachments and a certain number of foreign students and learned monks stayed in China for at least one year. The foreign students and learned monks stayed in China for longer, some for decades. The political system, science, technology and cultural classics of the Tang Dynasty were imprinted on these

They sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to learn them, brought them back to the Japanese country, and put them into practice in their own country.

However, the Japanese country is destined to raise unfamiliar dogs!

The Tang Dynasty allowed the Japanese country to learn, but in exchange the Japanese country wanted to intervene in the war between the Tang Dynasty and Baekje. This was the Battle of Baijiangkou in the third year of Emperor Longshuo's reign in the Tang Dynasty!

Then a scene appeared that Zhao Huan couldn't understand:

In the Battle of Baijiangkou, more than 42,000 Japanese slaves and more than 1,000 warships were taught by 13,000 Tang soldiers who only had more than 130 warships. The whole country fell into fear and almost shook the country.

However, it was this defeat that actually aroused the enthusiasm of Japan to select "envoys to the Tang Dynasty". Among the total 19 batches of "envoys to the Tang Dynasty", 14 were after the Battle of Baijiangkou!

What’s even more mysterious is that one of them really had the nerve to send an envoy to Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty who was bitten actually dared to continue to accept the envoy sent to Tang Dynasty and spared no effort in teaching him!

What kind of spirit is this?

This is just feeding the dogs with the precious knowledge passed down by our ancestors!

If we look at it from another perspective, if the Japanese nation had not learned these valuable technical knowledge from the Tang Dynasty, it would have never taken as little as two hundred years for the Japanese nation, which was still a slave society at the time, to evolve into a feudal society and learn to build cities and ships.

Time! It is also impossible to rely on the learned city building methods to drag the Yuan army until the "divine wind" comes!
