dingdiange:

There are countless humanoid countries in later generations.

For example, Japan colonized the world, Germany started World War II, the squid was almost anti-human, the Indians scalped, and the United States later pursued hegemony, each of them was a cancer of an era.

But later generations of Chinese people at most felt disgust towards them, but there was no deep-rooted hatred.

Because people are like this. Unless the knife cuts themselves, they cannot understand the pain of other suffering countries and nations.

So who has ever used a knife to cut the Chinese people, and what is the root cause of the Chinese people's suffering?

It’s the Japanese!

They invaded our country, burned, killed, looted and carried out massacres, resulting in the deaths of more than 30 million soldiers and civilians.

They peeled people's skin alive, gouged out their eyes, cut off their noses, and pulled out their internal organs. They boiled babies in boiling water, dissected pregnant women alive, and ground the babies on millstones into meat paste, forcing their mothers to eat it.

They took pleasure in torturing and killing living people, and took glory in their cruelty and bloodthirstiness. They buried people in the ground and let dogs bite them, while they clapped their hands and laughed on the side.

They even held killing competitions, had recruits stab living people to build up their courage, and conducted experiments using viruses and bacteria.

All these actions are outrageous.

Therefore, Zhao Jun does not have any hostility towards any country, but he is extremely concerned about the affairs of the island country.

From the moment he came to power, he sent the Imperial City Bureau to infiltrate under the guise of trade.

As a wealthy businessman from the State of Song in Japan, Song Cai's actual identity is the biggest spy chief of the Imperial City Bureau in Japan.

The Imperial City Division investigated intelligence and collected inside information in Japan, and compiled it all for him, which was then sent back to China by Song Cai through commercial channels.

What Zhao Jun did was not because he coveted Japan's wealth, but simply because he held a grudge. It was the hatred engraved in the bones of the Chinese people, which lacked a revenge to settle the accounts.

If future generations cannot settle accounts with them for the time being, it would not be a bad thing to settle accounts with their ancestors first to avoid such a situation from happening again in the future.

Some people may say that it was done by the descendants of the Japanese, what does it have to do with their ancestors? Isn’t this bringing disaster to their families?

However, through sorting out the information, Zhao Jun discovered that their ancestors had the same character as the Japanese in later generations.

He bullies the weak and fears the strong, is cruel and bloodthirsty, and always has his eyes on the northern continent.

They have never joined the Chinese tributary system externally, and have always maintained ambitions of aggression internally.

Their so-called envoys to the Tang Dynasty only wanted to steal the system, culture and knowledge. They never thought about truly respecting the country of the Tang Dynasty, and even coveted the treasure land of the Central Plains civilization.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea and his declaration of the so-called "Three Kingdoms in One" proved this point.

If Toyotomi Hideyoshi had won the Korean War, there is no doubt that Korea would have been subjected to extremely brutal colonial treatment and might even have been destroyed.

Therefore, considering all these factors, it is impossible for Zhao Jun to let the Japanese go.

However, the current national strength is not yet able to completely destroy the Japanese islands. Even if it can be destroyed, it will consume a lot of national strength.

Therefore, the correct approach is to threaten them with force first, and then stir up trouble within their ranks, so that Japan will be in a state of long-term division and civil strife, and then wait until the national strength is improved again in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Jun had to resort to the dauntless and virtuous tactics of leading a cry.

"There's a long way to go."

After the meeting, Zhao Jun thought to himself.

In the morning, Zhao Jun did not deal with official business first, but went to Beigong first.

After all, this is a war abroad, which involves all aspects, so it is still necessary to inform Zhao Zhen and use his transfer order to let the Privy Council send the Zhenhai Army.

After Zhao Zhen learned about the situation, he did not hesitate much and directly wrote an edict, stamped it with his seal, and sent it to the Privy Council.

Zhao Jun returned to the Constitutional Court and signed his order to instruct Song Cai.

There are several points in the warrant.

One is to let Song Cai support Lu Chao's actions of providing weapons, equipment and funds to Japanese nobles and rebel forces.

The second was to let Song Cai and Ma Mao appear to be resolute. If necessary, the Ninghai Army and the Zhenhai Army could go ashore directly, fire the first shot, and rush to Heian-kyo to threaten or even capture the emperor alive.

The third and most important point is that Ma Mao's action this time was very good and he made great contributions. He was promoted to Runzhou Tuanlianshi and was commended by the entire army. A commendation meeting was held after he returned to China.

Why is this important?

It’s all about setting up a role model. Even if Ma Mao hesitated in the process, that’s how politics works. It’s necessary to cover up shortcomings and magnify strengths.

This will tell all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty that if you are performing missions overseas, in order to safeguard national interests, you must not be soft-handed and must fight when it is necessary. The court will always support them.

But to be honest, this commendation was obviously unfair to Ma Mao. He recovered the minerals in one battle, but his military rank was not promoted. Instead, he was promoted to a temporary official rank, which was only two levels in total.

But Zhao Jun had no choice, because the navy currently has only seven armies, and above the army commanders are the chief and deputy chief of the navy.

The next promotion he would have was deputy chief of the navy, which was a senior general. Huyan Shouyong had made such great contributions under Di Qing but he was not promoted, let alone Ma Mao.

Therefore, one can only be promoted to a higher position and improve the grade.

And to be honest, the chaotic official system of the Song Dynasty also gave Zhao Jun a headache.

The situation of civil servants is fine now. The systems of officials on salary and officials on dispatch have been abolished, and all officials have been uniformly divided into different grades, thus solving the problem of confusion.

Only military generals are involved in the Song Dynasty's national policy of emphasizing culture over military power, and their status in all aspects has not yet been improved.

It’s not that Zhao Jun doesn’t want to, but that he can’t.

If this is done, it will inevitably arouse opposition from all civil servants, and the resistance can be said to be quite great.
