It was nothing during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, after all, the relationship between the two countries was very good.
But things have been different since King Ali came to power.
Therefore, the court invested more in the Wusi area than before.
Now, Tiandu is in civil strife, and various forces are against King Ali, but the Wei Dynasty has done nothing but sent an envoy. In this respect, it can definitely be considered a great victory.
"Yes, when Chen Xuance first said he wanted to shake up the Tiandu Kingdom's political power, I didn't believe him. But I never thought he would actually do it."
Song Gongwen nodded, feeling somewhat impressed. He said, "And Your Majesty, you must have seen Chen Xuance's talent, so not only did you select him as the top scholar, you also sent him as an envoy to the Tiandu Kingdom. How wise!"
Long before, the two had said that no matter how talented a person is, he or she cannot perform if he or she is not in the right position.
Just like himself, he had been in the Dali Temple for so many years but had achieved nothing.
But since joining the cabinet, everything has changed.
Be able to fully realize your ambitions.
Especially since the reforms that are being implemented now are about to succeed, this alone is a great blessing for a patriotic minister with ideals.
"This is naturally the wisdom of your Majesty." Zhang Zhengming also smiled, understanding his student's meaning, and continued: "Chen Xuance has done a good job, but it's a pity for King Ali."
"He is the first truly talented Tiandu monarch since King Aqin. He has carried out internal reforms and taken a tough stance abroad. He is also constantly reducing the influence of the major clans in the country, attempting to hold all power in his own hands. If he succeeds, the future of Tiandu will surely reach a higher level and truly compete with our Great Wei. Therefore, for the Tiandu Kingdom, he is indeed a good monarch."
"However, King Ali is too impatient. He wants to complete every measure quickly. However, he doesn't understand that the Tiandu Kingdom's system has lasted for thousands of years. The various ethnic groups are deeply rooted. It is not so easy to eradicate and weaken them. Even if tough measures can achieve temporary results, it will only be superficial and will eventually backfire."
"But my Great Wei is different. Since ancient times, whenever the Central Plains regime changes, the existing power will almost always be demolished and rebuilt. The resistance to reform will not be too great. This is the difference."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of sigh in Zhang Zhengming's tone.
That's right.
What he said was the most fundamental difference between Tiandu Kingdom and Dawei.
Therefore, when the major families of Tiandu Kingdom rebelled, King Ali had no way to quell the rebellion. The best outcome was that he would not die. As for the regime of Tiandu, it would definitely be replaced.
"Yes, King Ali is indeed a great figure, but precisely because of this, the ruler of Tiandu must be replaced."
Song Gongwen also sighed slightly, but the other party had evil ambitions for the Wei Dynasty and he could not let him stay.
You can only blame them, because the two sides are rivals.
"alright."
At this moment, Zhang Zhengming shook his head and continued, "We can't interfere with the affairs of Tiandu Kingdom. We can only wait. The most important thing now is the affairs of Zhenbei Pass. With the Divine Martial Marquis there, there shouldn't be any big problems."
"However, even if we repel the grassland army but fail to annihilate it, they still have a chance to make a comeback. Therefore, it depends on how far Hongzhi can go."
He knew that Song Hongzhi was going to join forces with the Marquis of Shenwu to fight against the grassland army.
Therefore, the final outcome of this battle does not depend on Marquis Shenwu.
But it was this young champion Hou.
"I believe Hongzhi will not let us down."
Song Gongwen smiled and was very confident in his son, thinking that there would be no problem.
"If this battle can really yield some gains, then together with the Tiandu Kingdom, it will be a double blessing for the court. When we report back to Your Majesty, it will be two big surprises."
Zhang Zhengming spoke at this moment, and he had great expectations for the young general Song Hongzhi.
At the same time, I was thinking, if these two things go as smoothly as expected.
It couldn't be better for Wei.
I believe Your Majesty will be very happy when he knows this.
In addition, the reform is about to be completely successful, and the two major projects have increased people's income. He has foreseen that the Wei Dynasty will soon become a truly powerful country with a strong people and reach its peak.
And now, Your Majesty has only been on the throne for more than three years.
Your Majesty, there is still a long time to come to power the country.
Zhang Zhengming is looking forward to what the Great Wei will be like in ten or twenty years.
...
Northern border, Zhenbei Pass.
Teams of soldiers came and went in a hurry.
The defenses on the city walls changed frequently, and orders were issued one after another.
At the same time, outside the city, there were some scouts who rode their horses at full speed into the pass from time to time. The atmosphere of the entire Zhenbei Pass looked very solemn and depressing.
The reason is very simple, that is, Zhenbei Pass and the grassland army have officially started fighting.
At the beginning, Marquis Shenwu sent the two Lin brothers to fight against the main force of the grassland.
The purpose is to completely tie down the grassland army in one place.
This will reduce the need for troop divisions and prevent situations where the garrison in some areas is too weak.
In the end, Marquis Shenwu did achieve his goal, but the cavalry led by the Lin brothers also suffered a counterattack from the grassland army. If they had not used the war horses supported by King Yan, the losses would have been incalculable.
Of course, because the grassland army has not been divided, it means that the pressure on Zhenbei Pass will be very great.
Recently, news has come in that the grassland army has received reinforcements of more than 70,000 people.
