Chapter 1525 The invisible contest
Just a few people want to fight against a country? Obviously it is impossible.
The state machinery of the Song Dynasty was running rapidly, and this behemoth was not bloated. On the contrary, his reaction was quick and he hit it with one blow.
After Zhou Jingxiang's body was found, all the coastal areas dared to blockade them. All the ports outside the Song Dynasty were under the control of the court, and the Maritime Bureau was in charge of all foreign trade.
Ordinary small wharfs can only be docked for fishermen who go out to sea to catch fish. Even if they can carry cargo and smuggle, they are one of the few small boats and cannot bear three thousand kilograms of artillery.
Besides, if an ordinary small boat wants to arrive at the Liao Dynasty's Tokyo Road from the harbor of the Song Dynasty, it is simply a fantasy to have no tonnage. A slightly larger storm can cause the ship to collapse and the secret spies of the Liao Dynasty are not stupid and will not seek death.
And the documents that passed the pass were all held in the hands of the Song Dynasty!
Now those secret spies only have the documents of Guangzhou Maritime Service, but this thing has long become a token of tracking by the imperial court, and is even more eye-catching than a signal flare. Any Maritime Service Office or Harbour Terminal will report this document to the government as soon as possible.
But this... the secret spies of the Liao Dynasty did not know that they believed that the documents of the Great Song Maritime Bureau were the same as those of the Liao Dynasty, and could be used anywhere and effective.
In terms of system, the Song Dynasty had already been ahead of them. The Rat Sect set up ambush in all the harbors and mobilized a large number of people to cooperate with the black hands. Even the sixteen guards in the local area were requisitioned.
It is undoubtedly more difficult to call the Sixteen Guards in the past than climbing to heaven, especially when it is dispatched across the prefecture, but this time it is different. With the endorsement of the Black Hand and the Imperial City Division, coupled with Zhao Zhen's handwriting, the commander of the Sixteen Guards is eager to go.
The bandits and bandits in various places were basically wiped out, and the black forces in the city were not able to directly send troops to kill them, so they could only hope to gain military merits elsewhere. At this time, the Zuo Wuwei got this dispatch.
Ten thousand troops from the entire garrison were called to deploy defenses with Huainan East Road, from Haizhou Maritime Warehouse to Yuzhou Port in the north, and from Renhe Port in the south, and from the dense seaport and Maritime Warehouse to deploy a large number of ambushes.
The Zuowu Guard is one of the sixteen guards, and the sixteen guards are best at defense. They can reach the attack of the Liao people on the battlefield like shields, let alone the Liao Dynasty secret spies who surrounded a few dozen people?
On the other hand, Yan Shu's investigation went very smoothly. His method was exactly the same as Zhao Zhen's, finding all the people involved in this matter, finding clues from them, and holding them accountable. At the same time, he submitted a memorial to Zhao Zhen, suggesting that the relevant system be changed to ensure that this kind of thing will not happen again.
Zhao Zhen looked at Cai Boyi's expression with a smile. This guy showed a rare expression of admiration after seeing Yan Shu's memorial. Literature also has the benefits of literati. They are good at making messy things orderly and can also prevent problems from escalating.
This left Cai Boyi speechless. After visiting the whole story, he stretched out his thumb and said, "What a good Yan Shu, he is really an experienced man in his work."
Zhao Zhen smiled and took the memorial from him and said, "The memorial is much more beautiful than what you wrote. My court needs such talents to do things, and the court cannot do anything without them."
Cai Boqi nodded affirmatively: "What the officials said is that the court needs people like him..."
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are not interesting. You know that I want to use you, but you dare not refuse to respond to the imperial edict like a civil servant. But I am afraid that I will think of your juniors and even cut off the road for them. If you don't want to be honest, you will still have a precept at home. The descendants are never allowed to enter the officialdom. Why is my court a "mud pit"?
Cai Boqi said in a naughty way: "The road of the official family and the relatives is not easy to walk. Unless the talent is enough, it will be a disaster, a disaster of the family, a disaster of the court, and even a disaster of the Tian family. Su Shi joined the relatives because his talents are enough..."
Zhao Zhen looked at Cai Boyi and sneered: "You mean that you can't become a relative of a smart person? Isn't it appropriate to flatter yourself?"
Unexpectedly, Cai Boqi said seriously: "Officials are not jokes. Only those who judge the situation can become relatives of the outside world, otherwise they will seek death. The official has turned the road of relatives into a single-plank bridge. Few people will fall down from the abyss if they are not careful. Moreover, the official family will drive them. If one day the minister falls, the official family will still care about the old love to get the minister, but others......"
Cai Boqi's words gave Zhao Zhen a great inspiration, and also made him suddenly understand why Cai Boqi was so determined that his children would become officials in the family.
"Then what's wrong with leaving a kindness for the descendants? The court can provide salary and subsidies..." There is no such thing in the world. The emperor personally gave the benefactor to others.
Cai Boqi smiled and said, "Officials, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Will it be better if they take the imperial etiquette? Besides, whether they can be competent is still the same thing, not to mention that the most important thing in the family is money. If they really want to be squandered, they will be incompetent."
"You can see it easily!"
Zhao Zhen really admired Cai Boyi for this. He was able to let go completely and only give them a way, but he couldn't. He wanted to hand over the empire he built to his son, and at the same time he had to help him...
It was rare to play a game with Cai Boyi, and the conversation between the two was completely lost. Zhao Zhen was a free and easy person, but was forced by reality to have no choice.
Sancai floated in from the entrance of the hall. The older he was, he became more and more like Chen Lin, who blocked himself in Yongding Tomb. There was no sound when he walked, but he was fine. Not only did Chen Lin walk silently, but there was no wind even passing by.
"There has been news from the government, Tubo and the north, and the east is not in Tubo!"
Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "As I expected, the Tubo people cannot do this, but they cannot do it, but they cannot do it after all! It seems that I have to be careful. The woman began to play with power and planned to join forces with Tubo to deal with me!"
"Sancai, bring me the map."
"I obey the order!"
A map was placed on the table in Chunhui Hall. Zhao Zhen put black flags on the Liao Dynasty, the Western Regions, and the Tubo. Cai Boyi suddenly realized that there was no threat around the Song Dynasty. At present, this half-moon-shaped thing was stuck in the north of the Song Dynasty, like the teeth of a vicious dog......
"Does this mean you want to surround the Song Dynasty?!"
Zhao Zhen shook his head: "No, this is just a pressure on me. Even if the cannons are not stealing, Xiao Tali is still warning me that the Tubo people are willing and have already stood on the side with the Liao Dynasty."
Cai Boqi and Sancai stood there in amazement. They didn't expect that a simple secret spy case could involve so many things. How could they know that this was simply a contest between the two rulers of Zhao Zhen and Xiao Tali.
