Chapter 295 The rise and fall of the dynasty
From Zhao Dun's standpoint, of course, Zhao Dun would not make Zhao Dun's limelight too much. In the past two years, Zhao Dun has been in the limelight. If Zhao Dun makes a big splash this time, it is obviously not in line with Zhao Dun's wishes, so Zhao Dun's final appointment was Xin Qiji.
Since the court cannot come forward, Zhao Han may be suitable but cannot let him come forward. Zhu Xi may have some grudges with some of the people among the overseas returnees because of the "returnees in the past" incident a while ago. Compared with Zhu Xi, Xin Qiji has his own advantages. For example, he had experience in leading troops in his early years, and the "Flying Tiger Army" he practiced later was quite powerful, which was both civil and military. Besides, he had a good relationship with Mao Geng and a group of overseas returnees. This has been reminded by Lu Yijian. Therefore, in the end, this candidate who was authorized by the court to fully deal with the issue against Japan became Xin Qiji, which is really something that everyone hopes for.
After receiving the order of the court, in the late first month of the first lunar month, Xin Qiji led a group of personnel to Xiayi Island, which was the main battlefield against Japan. Zhao Han should respect it. Mao Geng was the manipulator behind the scenes, and Han Tuozhou was also on Xiayi Island. The most important thing was that the Japanese sent people to Zhao Han, the prince of Beihai, to ask for help. Everything meant that Xiayi Island was the front line against Japan. So Xin Qiji had no other choice and immediately came to Xiayi Island.
After visiting Zhao Han, Xin Qiji came to Hakodate to find Mao Geng. Lu Jiuyuan was also here for this trip. Mao Geng felt a little timid, so he took Long Jiu to accompany him. Speaking of which, the pressure of the "master" behind the scenes is quite high. Well, it is a subconscious moral pressure. It seems that he does not have the talent to play the evil people. Fortunately, Long Jiu has already made a very thick-skinned state-owned enterprise in later generations. The role of thick and dark is suitable for him. The two big guys must not use benevolence and righteousness as a matter. If that is true, Long Jiu has to block the arrow.
The weather is really cold, and it is snowing outside. Hokkaido has a bit high dimension and winter is long. It is almost the coldest time. Lu Jiuyuan is wearing a Song Dynasty down jacket and coughs from time to time. Mao Geng said that you are not in good health at first, so why did you get frozen at this time when you run to Xiayi Island? But on the other hand, Xin Qiji came to Lu Jiuyuan with him, because Lu Jiuyuan and Zhao Han get along very well with him.
After entering the room where the floor heating was burned, Lu Jiuyuan felt much better. After drinking two sips of hot tea, he said:
"Let's not talk about Japan. Yisheng, this Xiayi Island is so cold. It should be even colder in Sakhalin Island. It seems that even the sea water over there is frozen at this moment, which shows that it is very cold! I have something unknown. At present, such a large Xiayi Island has not yet been developed, but why are you eager to develop Sakhalin Island in large quantities? Could it be that you Yisheng have any ideas? Or if someone else has any ideas, I am just curious, Jiaxuan is also curious. There are no outsiders here, so you might as well talk about the truth openly. I know that you, Mao Yisheng, have always had unique ideas, maybe you have your reasons."
Not talking about Japan, but talking about this, what is the situation! Mao Geng was prepared for the remarks about this matter, but in front of Lu Jiuyuan, Xin Qiji was also there. He was a little bit unconfident when he opened his eyes and said lies, and he didn't know how to tell them at the moment.
When Long Jiu next to him saw that Mao Geng had forgotten the pre-written lines, let me do it:
"Please listen to me, please tell me, this Sakhalin Island. The Jin Kingdom claims to have sovereignty, but the Jin Kingdom doesn't care about Sakhalin Island. Since that's the case, we take it first and develop it first. With this fait accompli, the sovereignty of Sakhalin Island will fall into the name of the Song Dynasty, right! Just occupying and not developing it will not last long. Hehe, the Mao Family Group developed Sakhalin Island on behalf of the Song Dynasty. How can money be lost last long? Therefore, the Mao Family Group has been developing Sakhalin Island in vain. It is a century-old plan. Sakhalin Island is rich in fur and coal mines are discovered. At the beginning, it will definitely lose money. Maybe it will be able to make it back in a few years. We made this idea. Chief Mao thought it was feasible and had a wealth of money to develop Sakhalin Island, so we did it."
Xin Qiji smiled and said:
"That's a saying, but Yi Sheng, this matter is probably not that simple! You, Mr. Xiangshan and me, are you friends for a long time. Is there anything else to hide from us? Besides, the matter of Sakhalin Island is a good thing after all."
Mao Gengxin said that paper cannot contain the fire after all. These two are masters, and it seems that it is not OK to be careless with them. It is better to just spread it out:
"Actually, there is no idea of being arbitrary. I just want to find a quiet place to focus on construction. Oh, in fact, this is not accurate enough." Mao Geng suddenly felt a little impulsive at this time. He looked at the two famous scholars of the Song Dynasty in front of him, gritted his teeth, changed his mind, but said:
"Not to talk about Sakhalin Island for now, I want to talk to Mr. Xiangshan and Mr. Jiaxuan about the rise and fall of dynasties in history. Haha, of course, this is just a show of the game."
"Okay, today I'm just talking casually. Yi Sheng must have unique insights. Let's talk about it." Lu Jiuyuan and Mao Geng have been together for a long time, so he naturally understood that Mao Geng would not be aimless.
"Let's talk about the Qin Dynasty first, and wipe out the powerful Qin of the seven kingdoms in one fell swoop. No one would have expected that it would die in the second lifetime. Besides, the Han Dynasty, during the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was enfeoffed in the era of Emperor Wu of Han, and the wolves were as strong as a tiger. However, in the Three Kingdoms period, warlords fought in a melee and landed for thousands of miles, and the Han Dynasty fell down. Alas! This is the rise and fall of the dynasty. The so-called foundation of all generations is a dream. The rise and fall of the world cannot be stopped by human power." Mao Geng brought out the sentence in Xin Qiji's "" in a verbal way, but Xin Qiji would not write this poem until 1205. Long Jiu next to him gave a look, but Mao Geng didn't notice it at all.
Speaking of this, Lu Jiuyuan and Xin Qiji were both moved. Even during the Northern Song Dynasty, even the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun could not be recaptured. Later, the Jingkang shame was the two emperors captured and flew south in a hurry. The rise and fall of this dynasty was heartbreaking to think of.
"Let's talk about the Tang Dynasty. When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was prosperous in Kaiyuan, all countries came to the court, which was very glorious. Later, the Anshi Rebellion greatly damaged the vitality of the Tang Dynasty. Who would have thought that the prosperity and decline were just in the thought of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. When reading this history, he sighed, right!"
At this time, Long Jiu interrupted:
"In fact, before the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang made a foolproof move. For example, when he conquered Nanzhao twice, the first conquered Nanzhao was defeated, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not stop. He came to the second conquered Nanzhao. This time, the entire army was wiped out, and nearly 200,000 elite soldiers were filled in. If these 200,000 elite soldiers broke out, they could be quelled quickly. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had a great victory in the external expansion in the early stage, and was blinded by victory, and he thought he was invincible in the world. Haha, this can be regarded as a soul digging tomb." Long Jiu said vigorously and continued: "Actually, this is the same in this dynasty. Seeing the rich flowers of the Song Dynasty under his rule, Huizong must be extremely proud. The Jin people happened to have an appointment to attack Liao. Emperor Huizong then had a dream of the Song Dynasty surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties. Then, unexpectedly, it would have caused the shame of Jingkang."
Speaking of this, Long Jiu saw that Xin Lu and the others looked blue, and thought to himself that he was not able to carry any pot, which was a bit taboo. Mao Geng hurriedly said:
"Brother Long is also a matter of facts. Mr. Xiangshan and Mr. Jiaxuan should not mind. Today, this is nothing more than a lesson from the past. What I want to say is that according to the current development trend, in a few years, the Song Dynasty will definitely become the most powerful country in the world, destroying the Jin Dynasty, Xixia, and even conquering the Western Liao Dynasty, it is no problem. But can the Song Dynasty continue to be strong? Unfortunately, the answer will only disappoint! History tells us that there is no dynasty that will last forever, so we must prepare for the future."
Later Britain became the boss for two hundred years and declined. The American Empire then became the boss, and then the American Empire showed signs of decline. It can be seen that the feng shui changes, and it may be where one will come tomorrow.
Of course, Xin Qiji, who is familiar with history, could not deny it. Perhaps he sighed in his heart, "** is always blown away by the rain and wind", but he couldn't help asking:
"How to prepare for the future?"
"Perhaps, a dynasty should have a way of self-reference, which is also the reason why I originally suggested establishing a special zone. Let the special zone have the greatest vitality and the greatest desire to innovate and develop, rather than follow the old age. This has an advantage. If the special zone fails, other areas of the Song Dynasty will not be affected, and if the special zone succeeds, other areas of the Song Dynasty can learn from experience. Well, it should be said that experience and lessons are worth learning from. Perhaps in this way, the prosperity of a dynasty can last longer."
"Isn't Kaohsiung a special zone? We have seen all the functions you mentioned now. Yi Sheng, what are you going to say?"
Mao Geng scratched his head and said with a tough bullet:
"Kaohsiung is a special zone, but there should be a better special zone. After all, Taiwan is too close to the center and will gradually be assimilated, and in the end it will not play the role of the special zone. It is best to be far away from the center. In addition, the conditions can be as hard as possible. How difficult is it? It is so difficult that without special policies, it will not be able to develop. In this way, it may be more thorough. I think Sakhalin Island should be a suitable place. We want to build it into a experimental zone of the Song Dynasty, a highly free area. It belongs to the Song Dynasty, but it will be different from other places in the Song Dynasty. Perhaps, in this way, it will be staggered from the Song Dynasty's prosperity and decline cycles, and then, when the Song Dynasty needs it, it can alleviate the dangers for the Song Dynasty. Similarly, when the Special Zone needs it, the Song Dynasty can also alleviate the dangers for it."
Damn! You treat it as Hong Kong and Macau in the future! Long Jiu couldn't help but be happy. That's right, the Las Vegas casino in the United States is open in the desert. The desert conditions are difficult enough, so let's open a casino, and the policies are special. Haha, Chief Executive Mao's logic is indisputable.
Chapter completed!
