Zhao Zhen is a "rogue", a rogue who often uses tricks in games, but his game is often related to the rise and fall of the entire dynasty, the entire nation, and even the entire China.

Unlike others, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, the distinction between the various ethnic groups in China is not very obvious. Although the Han people occupy the main body, other ethnic minorities are the same in the Song Dynasty, and at least in Zhao Zhen's eyes, they also exist the same.

"The sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is great!" This is the mind of the Chinese, but in Zhao Zhen's eyes, there is another meaning, "Everything is mine, everything is mine, how can it not be strong?!"

What the Song Dynasty needed was national unity, which was very important. Zhao Zhen had never discriminated against foreign races. This affected the entire palace and the entire Song Dynasty.

What is the emperor? It is the spiritual guide of a country and the beacon to lead a country forward. What the emperor does is to guide the world and the people of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen led the various changes in the Song Dynasty, and even led the fashion, literary sentiments, academic atmosphere, military manufacturing, scientific and technological development and many other aspects of this era.

The ideology of the Song Dynasty has long changed. This is not something that can be achieved overnight, but a subtle change. Everyone will look back at the Song Dynasty and find that it is very different from the original one, but they do not notice much on the road to change, because Zhao Zhen minimized the influence.

Whether it was the Tubo people, the Dangxiang people, or the Khitan people, Zhao Zhen regarded them as part of China. They were all members of the Chinese nation, which was a direct feeling left to him by later generations.

Even the Japanese from Haidong Prefecture Zhao Zhen treated them as Chinese, because Haidong Prefecture was already the land of the Song Dynasty, some of the people of the Song Dynasty would migrate to Haidong Prefecture, and Haidong Prefecture had all the troops, government offices, and administrative units of the Song Dynasty.

However, the area of ​​Haidong Prefecture is similar to that of the same road as that of the Song Dynasty. All the Japanese in Haidong Prefecture learn Chinese and use Chinese characters. Although their appearance is slightly different from that of Han, their skin color and facial features are also similar.

Over time, the Japanese people also claimed that their lives gradually became better under the leadership of the Song Dynasty, and no one wanted to return to their originally poor and turbulent life.

Zhao Zhen retained the local Buddhism in Haidong Prefecture, which was necessary to stabilize the rule of Haidong Prefecture, and the Emperor's lineage has become part of the harem of the Song Dynasty. What a "happy" thing.

For the people of Haidong Prefecture, it is beneficial for Haidong Prefecture to become a lineage in the Song Dynasty harem, which can make Haidong Prefecture more sense of belonging and make Haidong Prefecture more at ease.

Even the Japanese Zhao Zhen in Haidongzhou can be treated as Chinese, and the same is true for Tubo on the plateau. Since Zhao Zhen is playing games with Jiaosiluo, he has treated Jiaosiluo as a rebel.

Tubo was the Tubo of the Song Dynasty, not the Tubo Dynasty. This was clearly divided in Zhao Zhen's mind. Therefore, Ma'er dared to be like the city of the Song Dynasty under the management of the Song Dynasty, and the people here were like the people of the Song Dynasty. Although they could not support the Song Dynasty on the surface, they were at least at ease and did not do anything to cooperate with the outside world.

This is already excellent. Zhao Zhen treats the Tubo people who dare to treat Maerdan as the people of the Song Dynasty, because he has always pursued the principle of "the king outside and the sage inside". As long as he obeys the management of the Song Dynasty and becomes the people of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen will treat them with the benevolent politics of the Song Dynasty. Anyone who resists the rule of the Song Dynasty and may pose a threat to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen faces them with a hostile attitude.

Even though Goryeo had long been betrayal, the Song Dynasty's policy towards Goryeo was still tough, and a large amount of goods were dumped on the land of Goryeo people, and Goryeo people didn't know what industrial protection was.

The Goryeo people's own goods have received a great impact. The handicrafts and textile industries have almost been monopolized by the Song Dynasty. The goods in the Song Dynasty are not high, and they are diverse in varieties and of excellent quality. The local industries in Goryeo have suffered an unprecedented impact in this era.

Although in Maergan City and facing the attack of the Tubo people, Zhao Zhen was still thinking about the entire Song Dynasty. People with short-sighted eyes could not be emperors, or could not be good emperors.

News came from the Western world that Henry III of the Holy Roman Empire began a huge crusade. The main goal of this crusade was the Seljuk Dynasty, which had occupied the Arabian Peninsula and the huge land of Central Asia.

The purpose of the Eastern Expedition was also clear. While the Holy Roman Empire needed to restore trade with the Song Dynasty, it was also exempted from the Seljuk dynasty's exploitation of taxes along the way, because these exploitations would eventually be added to the Roman Empire.

Henry III was the emperor of the Frankian dynasty and was also the second king of the Roman people. Although the Holy Roman Empire was composed of many vassal states, the interests of this expedition represented the interests of all Roman Empires.

In the eyes of Henry III, this was an opportunity to unite the entire Roman Empire and an extraordinary expedition. Even if the Seljuk Empire was unable to conquer, unexpected gains would eventually be obtained on the road to the Eastern Expedition, such as the demise of Byzantium...

After the great Eastern Expedition began, Zhao Zhen keenly realized the problem. Henry III's goal was not to conquer the Seljuk Dynasty.

The entire dynasty in most Asia is not as likely to be bullied. On the contrary, Seljuk's combat effectiveness is quite amazing. The Song Dynasty fought Seljuk completely relied on years of combat experience and the use of firearms.

After you really fight with these Central Asians, you will understand how powerful these people who fight under the power of faith and strength are.

The Chinese nation has never been afraid of war, and these Central Asian nations have never been separated from war. Their belief is to spread their beliefs to all places. Pagans need to receive the "baptism" of scimitars.

The most eternal topic in the world has become the fuse for Central Asia and Europe, and a protracted war is about to take place between the two powerful civilizations.

All of this was expected by Zhao Zhen. Although it was a problem with Seljuk, the Song Dynasty also took a lot of action. They could use Seljuk's difficulties to increase the price and cost of the Song Dynasty's products. The transportation cost is also a very important cost!

The merchants of the Song Dynasty went to the West in fear along the way, and the "mental losses" they suffered should naturally be counted as costs. The increase in the price of goods is also a matter of cleaning up, right?
