Survival or destruction is not a problem. It is because individuals will pursue survival. Only by surviving can they gain a better future. Even a waste should work hard for their own survival. If they die, they will lose nothing, and they are even qualified to be waste.

The same is true for a country.

The Liao Dynasty faced constant pressure from the Song Dynasty, not only in terms of military strength, but also in terms of culture and economy, which gave the Liao Dynasty a great sense of crisis, but they also had the strong perseverance and pride of the grassland nation because the Khitans had suffered a more unfortunate past.

They advocated the rule of Han civilization and the prosperous economy of the Song Dynasty, so they imitated Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty and established their own officials, even their names were so similar. They also appointed Han people as civil officials because they felt that this would strengthen their rule.

In fact, this is the case. After the Liao Dynasty began to use officials, the economy recovered a little, and the Han officials also played a stable role.

But they forgot that these two things were learned from the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty knew the secrets better than the Liao Dynasty, and even some unknown secrets. Otherwise, Zhao Zhen would not have secretly implemented the legal system construction with the idea of ​​Confucianism outside and law inside.

For this reason, the Constitution of the Emperor Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, has become increasingly comprehensive after several revisions. However, the Liao Dynasty was still using the human relationship method that had been eliminated by the Song Dynasty early, and taking the human factor as a prerequisite, which is a huge mistake in itself.

A basic feature of the laws of the Han Dynasty was that the criminal law was particularly developed. To be more precise, the characteristics of the law were legal styles based on criminal law. This was mostly to warn and deter others.

However, the laws of the Liao Dynasty were relatively more concerned with human feelings, such as whether a person stole a rich man who was rampant in the countryside or a poor man, or a Khitan man stole a Han man, etc.

The result is definitely different.

This difference creates anger hidden among the people. Fair treatment is something that many people pursue, and of course it is more what the vulnerable groups pursue. Although the Han people's status in the Liao Dynasty was placed at the same height by the emperor, the people below do not admit it.

So what if the husband of the Great Liao Dynasty was a Han Chinese?

You can't reach out to the local area to manage trivial matters, right?

Moreover, Han people are more skillful and good at making money than Khitans. They are more capable of farming than Liao people. The only one who is inferior to Khitans is grazing.

With the rise of the Song Dynasty, the lives of the Han people in the Liao Dynasty would also become much better, because the merchants in the Song Dynasty would always give the Han people a benefit, either giving them an extra pound of food or hiring them to help, the price could make the Khitans bit their tongues jealously.

The care of merchants of Song people for the Han people also aroused public anger among the Khitans. The two sides began to hate each other more or less, conflicts began to intensify, and even a group fight occurred. However, in response, the officials of the Liao people completely favored the Khitans because they were of the same clan and the same origin.

The merchants in the Song Dynasty had suffered several robberies, which made the envoys of the Song Dynasty condemn the inaction of local officials of the Liao Dynasty, but not many people paid attention to it in the courts of the Liao Dynasty. They felt that the envoys of the Song Dynasty had made a big fuss. Could it be that the merchants in the Song Dynasty would not be robbed in the Song Dynasty? Are there fewer things to kill and rob?

Of course, it is undeniable that Zhao Zhen's plan was successful. He cleverly used the small means of merchants to turn the conflict between the Song and Liao into a conflict between the Han and the Khitans. The Liao Dynasty had a large number of Han people. Once they were disappointed with the Liao Dynasty and stood on the side of the Song Dynasty, the result was obvious.

The results of 1:1 and 0.5:1 are completely different.

Zhao Zhen put a lot of effort into the Northern Expedition. This was not put on the agenda after the destruction of the Western Xia Kingdom, but had already been arranged since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne. Anger is the best means of provocation, and this anger often becomes a catalyst for contradictions.

The ministers of the two prefectures had no idea about this. For these so-called "normal gentlemen", sincerity in self-discipline is the basic moral code.

Of course Xia Shun can be excluded, but Zhao Zhen also does not intend to let him know, because this old fox has begun to transform into a cunning "venomous snake", and his method will only be more radical. What Zhao Zhen needs is to be disinterested rather than sacrifice his innocent.

Wars have never been unilateral, especially wars between major powers. They are no longer traditional routines of killing and killing the enemy until the enemy destroys the country.

War is an art, infiltration and destruction, confusing the enemy, and even assassination are important writings. If there is a slight mistake, it is not a perfect painting.

For the ministers of the two prefectures, everything in front of them shows that the officials are preparing for the Northern Expedition, and no one is stupid. This is already the third imperial edict for the officials to mobilize troops.

The military talisman and the imperial edict were put into a golden box together. Sancai carefully held it like a gunpowder bullet.

Pang Ji and others knew that as long as Di Qing was still poking in the court, the Northern Expedition had not begun, and Peng Qi was also among them...

After five consecutive decrees mobilized about 300,000 troops, Zhao Zhen stopped. He even dispatched the Tabai Army, who was training far away. Although the Beiwei Army did not dispatch them, they were already guarding the security of Beijing in the capital.

"Officials, should all soldiers be ordered to return to the camp?"

Di Qing's words made everyone nervous, and it was really not far from the Northern Expedition!

"No, the time is not yet ripe, don't be alerted."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand to reject Di Qing's suggestion, and naturally he would keep the Liao people in the dark. Once the Song Dynasty entered a state of war, the Liao people would not be able to go up even if they were stupid. The soldiers in the Northern Expedition had already suffered a loss at the hands of the Song Dynasty.

However, the two ministers had a positive attitude towards the Northern Expedition. For them, once the Northern Expedition was successful and the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, they would be recorded in history.

So no one is more active than them. The pursuit of civil servants is nothing more than a brilliant stroke in the painting history books.

At this time, there was no so-called kindness of a woman, and there was no stubborn decay in the Wende Hall. Even the old-fashioned Bao Zheng was stating the abilities of Sansi, hoping that Sansi would join in.

In fact, the Three Divisions are already in it. Every cent and every expense of the national treasury has passed through the Three Divisions. Over the years, Bao Zheng has rarely made any mistakes in the head of the Three Divisions.

Zhao Zhen's Cai Ji and Queen Biyaxuan's inputs also flowed from half to Sansi. It can be said that most of the wealth in this country is concentrated in Bao Zheng's hands.

Bao Zheng was also the first person to know that Zhao Zhen was preparing for the Northern Expedition, and he even knew better than Pang Jixian.

The inner court meeting of Wende Hall ended, and everyone left with satisfaction because they got the answer they wanted in their hearts, and the officials had already begun to make final preparations for the Northern Expedition.

But they also don’t understand why they had to send heavy troops to Japan first. Can’t they transport the soldiers of the Song Dynasty directly from the sea to the Jurchens?
