Zhao Tai wrote an essay every month, like a monthly magazine, stirring up public opinion in the Southern Song Dynasty and competing with the Southern Song Dynasty for the high ground of justice.

Although Zhao Tai's appeal could not cause physical harm to the Southern Song Dynasty, it seriously shook the hearts of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It can even be said to be the foundation of governance.

They are all old foxes. The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty knew exactly what Zhao Tai wanted to do.

This time Zhao Tai proposed the interests of the Han people and rejuvenated the nation, but they didn't care at first.

Because in their hearts, they must first be loyal to the emperor. The interests of Zhao Guan's family and the interests of the scholar-bureaucrats who rule the world with Zhao Guan's family are the interests they care about. As for the national interests and the interests of the people, they have to rely on them later.

After all, the Song Dynasty set the tone long ago that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats would rule the world together, not the common people.

Zhao Tai proposed that any nation and national rejuvenation must be ranked after the emperor and scholar-bureaucrats, otherwise they would not abandon the north and the Han people in the north with peace of mind.

However, what they did not expect was that they scorned Zhao Tai's appeal, but Zhao Tai's appeal affected the people of the Southern Song Dynasty and the lower class scholars.

The economy of the Southern Song Dynasty was developed, and a class of citizens was formed in cities and towns. They could have enough food and clothing in life and have spiritual pursuits.

This pursuit can be erotic pictures, lust, or it can be a strong country and national rejuvenation.

As the emperor, Zhao Yun did not care about national interests or national rejuvenation, he only cared about the stability of the throne.

The scholar-bureaucrat class in the Southern Song Dynasty always regarded Hangzhou as Bianzhou and had no enterprising spirit.

They have no ambitions and don't care about the situation of the entire nation, but it doesn't mean that the people of the Southern Song Dynasty don't care and the people of the north don't care.

No one mentioned it before, but now Zhao Tai writes an article a month, and the main theme is education.

This made Zhao Yun and others gradually realize that something was wrong. Zhao Tai's propaganda was affecting the minds of the people, causing them to unconsciously put national rejuvenation and national interests before loyalty to the emperor.

This is shaking the foundation of the emperor's autocratic power.

After Zhao Yun understood the impact, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. There must be something wrong with Zhao Tai.

Zhao Yun really wanted to ask this lunatic, what good would this do to him?

Jia Sidao's face was gloomy, "Your Majesty, the Imperial City Division has arrested many people in Lin'an, spreading Zhao Tai's message in the city and instigating the people to cause trouble. I have found out that these people have either received money or are agents sent by Qi State.

"

"I know it! I know it! It's the beast Zhao Tai who is causing trouble!" Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, "Aiqing, please tell me, what is Zhao Tai's intention when he forces me like this?"

After Zhao Tai issued the message, Jia Sidao smelled a hint of danger.

Jia Sidao pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, I suspect that Zhao Tai is looking for an excuse to rebel!"

Since ancient times, if you want to do great things, you must have a teacher with a good reputation.

A good excuse can help people get twice the result with half the effort.

Now Zhao Tai is looking for excuses. Of course, if he can't find one, Zhao Yun can go up to the court and step with his left foot first.

Zhao Yun's heart trembled, "An excuse to start a war?"

"That's right!" Jia Sidao nodded, "Zhao Tai must have found out about our alliance with Meng Ge to trade grain and horses. Zhao Tai issued a series of messages to force us to express our stance. He must have wanted to release us to support Mongolia after His Majesty expressed his stance.

Brother’s news. Then he can use this as an excuse to rebel against the imperial court!"

Jia Sidao knew from the beginning that the Southern Song Dynasty colluded with Meng Ge to deliver food to Meng Ge. This matter could not be kept secret.

Combined with Zhao Tai's behavior, he believed that Zhao Tai wanted Song Ting to express support for Qi's northern attack on Mongolia, then accuse Song Ting of doing one thing to his face and another behind his back, and then take the opportunity to cause chaos.

"Thief! His heart is so cruel!" Zhao Yun was shocked and gritted his teeth.

After understanding Zhao Tai's intention, Zhao Yun took a few steps back and forth and asked urgently: "Then I will ignore Zhao Tai's message and not respond! How about that?"

Jia Sidao smiled bitterly in his heart, Zhao Tai decided to fight the Southern Song Dynasty, he would always find a reason.

Jia Sidao thought about it, and now responded to Zhao Tai and set him up.

If Zhao Tai did not follow what he said in his statement and sent troops to attack Mongolia, then the Southern Song Dynasty could take the opportunity to change public opinion.

But he knew Zhao Tai well and knew that this thief had a deep mind and made plans before acting.

Zhao Tai dared to raise public opinion, which showed that he already had a backup plan. Even as soon as the Song Dynasty expressed its stance, the Qi State was able to present evidence that the Song Dynasty supported Meng Ge.

By then, they will be slapped in the face by Zhao Tai, and no one in the world will believe Song Ting's words anymore, and Zhao Tai may immediately send troops to attack Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the expression is extremely irrational, but if you delay not expressing your stance, the public opinion of the Southern Song Dynasty will continue to affect the people of Jiangnan. At the same time, Zhao Tai will not give up attacking the Song Dynasty just because the Song Dynasty does not express its stance.

That fellow Zhao Tai will definitely continue to find excuses, and there will always be a suitable reason for him to raise an army.

Even if the Song Dynasty did not respond, he could publish multiple appeals in a row and accuse the Song Dynasty of not responding because he ignored national justice, colluded with Mongolia, and threw out evidence that the Southern Song Dynasty supported Meng Ge.

Thinking of this, Jia Sidao felt a little desperate. Zhao Tai was really overbearing and unreasonable.

After Jia Sidao hesitated for a while, he nodded, "That's all we can do now! Zhao Tai will attack us sooner or later. It's best for the court to ignore Zhao Tai now and seize the time to train troops and prepare for war!"

Henan Road, Nanyang Mansion, inside a Qi army camp.

Zhao Tai left Yecheng and came to personally inspect the Qi army's preparations for war.

At this time, Zhao Tai rode his war horse out of the camp and came to the Baihe River. He saw a navy camp in the distance.

The Baihe River is a tributary of the Han River. If the Qi army has warships, they can enter the Han River from the Baihe River and then enter the Yangtze River.

Zhao Tai saw the water village and the warships shuttled on the river for training, so he tightened his horse's reins slightly and slowed down his horse's speed.

"Your Majesty, I have been training here for two years. The soldiers only need to give an order from your Majesty to go down the river and capture Xiangfan for Da Qi!"

The Xia Gui who spoke was left idle for a long time after he was captured by the Qi army.

Two years ago, Zhao Tai regained Guanzhong and unified the north, so he put on the agenda to attack the Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Tai was selecting a navy general, he saw his name and summoned him to meet him in Yecheng.

After this meeting, Xia Gui was enabled by Zhao Tai and sent to Nanyang to train the navy.

The south is no different than the north, with rivers and lakes all over the territory.

It is difficult for the cavalry to be used here, and the navy is the main combat force.

Throughout the ages, the Northern Army that defeated the Southern Dynasties all trained a powerful naval force.

Zhao Tai nodded slightly, reined in his horse, looked at the river, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "In the past dynasties, when attacking the south from the north, most of them occupied the upper reaches and went down the river. This time to attack the Song Dynasty, I planned to divide the troops into three groups, and let Wang Shixian go all the way.
