This wooden target was carefully made according to the specifications of the infantry side card. It only lacked a process of wrapping the leather. In order to facilitate repeated stabbing and beating during martial arts training, there was also a crippled wood support at the back. But Guo Ning suddenly struck with an iron bone flower, and the entire target was
The wooden target was flying in pieces, as if they were pieces of paper.
The plasterers and laborers who were working east of the school grounds were secretly watching Guo Ning practice martial arts while working. At this time, many people cheered and said: "Marshal Guo is awesome! I'm afraid he doesn't have hundreds of kilograms of strength!"
"
Guo Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved to them.
After venting his anger, he still had to plan for business. He turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Bring me some clean clothes. I have to go see Jin Qing."
When the sea trade between the two parties was normally carried out before, Guo Ning often visited various ports and chatted with some merchants. However, among the people from various places who were recalled for questioning this time, Zhao Bin and others arrived relatively late. Guo Ning had already arrived one after another before.
I met five or six groups of people and asked many questions.
He already understood that the trade route was suddenly blocked this time. On the one hand, some people in the Song Dynasty court who were concerned about the relationship between the two countries learned from various channels that Guo Ning's power had suddenly grown and felt a huge threat; on the other hand, there were also people
He used the suppression of the navy as a means to fight against the powerful ministers of his own court. The two sides hit it off and actually mobilized considerable power to suppress the Song Dynasty's maritime trade.
To be honest, Guo Ning really didn't expect that the Song Dynasty court could have such control before, nor did he expect that they could be so straightforward and suppress so many profit-hungry maritime merchants and the people behind them.
The trade between Dajin and the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to be the largest source of wealth in the world today. Since the founding of Dajin and the division of north and south, Dajin and the Southern Dynasties have been facing each other and fighting continuously. However, both sides do have their own urgent needs.
, or materials needed in large quantities, must rely on the other party.
In the context of war and uncertainty between the two sides, and official trade often being blocked, the smuggling trade on sea and land has always been in a state of high risk and ultra-high profits, so it has continued to flourish.
In the past few decades, Jin State has been the importer in the smuggling trade between the two countries, so it has benefited greatly.
For example, a large number of copper coins in the Jin Kingdom were imported from the Southern Dynasties through smuggling trade, which greatly alleviated the money shortage problem of the Jin Kingdom and supported the Jin Dynasty to a certain extent. In addition, whenever there was a flood or drought in Dajin,
Food smuggled from the Southern Dynasties was even more essential.
For this reason, Daikin's crackdown on the smuggling trade has always been close to nothing. The main concern is that copper coins must not be leaked out. Anyone who smuggles copper coins will be imprisoned for five years and may die if more than three kilograms of copper coins are weighed. The same crime is committed by the shamans. This is because Daikin is really short of copper.
Due to lack of money.
However, precisely because Daijin was extremely short of copper and money, how many heartless businessmen did they smuggle copper coins into the Song Dynasty? This is really a question worth considering.
By the time of Emperor Sejong, the emperor was only responsible for provincial affairs and suppressed the greed of the clan kings. However, he actually had to protect the interests of the Jurchen nobles and repay the many clans that supported him, so the result was that
Regarding the smuggling trade, they turned a blind eye. This caused the Jin Kingdom Navy established by King Hailing to fall apart, and the fleets fell into the control of various kings.
In the end, following the chaos in Zhongdu, the powerful sect kings died one after another. Guo Ning took advantage of the situation to take over these fleets, and thus got the first pot of gold to start Ding Haijun.
The Jin State benefited from the smuggling trade, but it did not mean that the Song State suffered a loss from it.
The prosperity of the Song Kingdom's maritime trade far exceeded that of the Jin Kingdom. As a large country with prosperous commerce, trade with the Jin Kingdom was just a part of Song's huge foreign trade.
Guo Ning had heard from maritime merchants before that, in addition to the Jin Kingdom, the countries that had trade relations with the Song Kingdom included the Japanese Kingdom, Goryeo, Dali, Tubo tribes, Dayue, Champa, Bagan, Chenla, Srivijaya, and Dali.
There are more than 50 countries such as food, and more than 250 kinds of commodities are exchanged in their ports such as Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Wenzhou, and Mingzhou.
As a hub country for huge amounts of trade, the Song State had a lot of money coming in and out; the horses, furs and other items imported from the Jin State did have unique and irreplaceable advantages.
Especially after the rise of Guo Ning's Dinghai regime, in order to ensure its own financial and food supply, the originally restricted horse trade was completely liberalized and even greatly encouraged. The Song State's direct gains from trade increased sharply.
Many merchants in Mingzhou also obtained political benefits from this.
When Li Yun's group herding system gradually penetrated into Liaodong, many Song Dynasty maritime merchants even tried their best to flatter Li Yun in order to obtain the quota of horses. They would also have fierce disputes with each other over this, which caused a lot of bloody eucalyptus at sea.
.
As time goes by, this kind of trade, in which both countries benefit and those who deal with it become richer, naturally gather a large number of people with vested interests.
Zhang Kai, who was abandoned on the Song Dynasty Road in his early years, now bought back his family's land, built dozens of acres of gardens, and obtained the official rank of Tongshilang. Zhou Keshan, who was recommended by him, has also become a local celebrity.
Guests of many gentry and officials.
Guo Ning and the staff around him have always felt that they don't have to worry about it, and those who benefit will naturally safeguard their own interests and oppose any plan that affects their money making.
But this time, the power of these people was actually suppressed?
According to reports, it was a group of uninformed officials who started the trend in the Lin'an court; but it was Shi Mi, the powerful prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, who actually promoted the consensus in the court, and then formed a decree in a short period of time and implemented it in one go.
Far.
This Shi Miyuan has some reputation in the court of Zhongdu.
During the Taihe period, the Song Dynasty was good at border provocations, but the Jin Dynasty mobilized all the strength of the country to retaliate against the Song Dynasty with nine troops and horses. They successively captured Zhenzhou and Yangzhou on the east route, Xiangyang on the middle route, Jiangling and the important town of Heshangyuan on the west route.
, Dasanguan and other places.
However, Dajin was weak after all, and the generals' intelligence and bravery were far inferior to those at the founding of the country; the lower-level officers mostly used Han'er and Zou troops, and their fighting will was also a problem; and with so many troops and horses dispatched, the subsequent food and fodder could not be supported at all.
In the past, people everywhere could not bear the oppression and launched riots, causing local officials to complain endlessly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So when the Jin army reached the riverside, they had used all their strength. In the process, they were defeated by several powerful troops from the Song Dynasty and their mouths were full of blood. The Song Dynasty
As long as there is a little more patience, Daikin's offensive will not be sustainable.
At this time, thanks to the weak temperament of the Song people in the Southern Dynasty, a group of peace advocates from the Lin'an court actually joined hands to assassinate the chief warden Han Kanwei, and sent Han Kanwei's head to Zhongdu to show their desire.
The sincerity of peace. According to the story of Yiza Chucai, when the court in Zhongdu heard that the Song Dynasty had agreed to peace talks, it was filled with joy.
The person who gathered people to assassinate Han Kanwei at that time was Shi Miyuan, the current right prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Since Shi Miyuan came to power, he has always been very deferential to Dajin.
According to common sense, Guo Ning's ability to seize Zhongdu with force proves that he is militarily stronger than the Jurchens. Shi Miyuan is even afraid of the Jurchens, so why is he not afraid of Ding Haijun?
Guo Ning really didn't know that he had taken the wrong medicine and actually agreed to this operation. Isn't this provoking Daikin and the rapidly rising Dinghai navy?
Since Guo Ning gathered his troops to raise troops, it is not that no one has provoked him, nor has no one underestimated the force he mustered. Guo Ning is a person who does not seek revenge overnight, and is used to a rampant style, and has no scruples in his actions. Those who think they have something
Those who rely on, then provoke or despise him will soon be smashed to pieces by him, and their own lives will be the price of their stupidity.
But this time, Guo Ning had a rare hesitation. The Southern Dynasty's approach really affected many arrangements for Ding Haijun's successor, greatly weakening the prerequisites for him to mobilize force. But this approach happened to be stuck in Guo Ning's hands.
Above the bottom line of revenge.
To say that the Song Dynasty blocked the grain trade, it really did not.
The Song Dynasty only emphasized the policy of combating smuggling normally. These policies were clearly legal documents. No one can say that the Song Dynasty did not have the right to enforce its own laws in this way.
There is no certainty that the navy's channels for obtaining food through smuggling have been interrupted.
After summarizing the information reported from various places, the scheduled food input will be about 60% less. This lack of quota immediately caused a huge gap in Ding Haijun's position scheduling. But there is still 40% left, so it is also
It is even more important and there is less room for problems.
If there is a conflict with the Southern Dynasty because of the lack of 60%, then the remaining 40% will probably be gone. What will we do by then? Are we really going to send troops to plunder the Song Dynasty?
Guo Ning is warlike and good at fighting, but he is not a war madman. He does not think that war can solve all problems.
