"Perhaps, this is not what Jia She meant, but what the Song court meant?"

Guo Ning asked: "There is no direct conflict with us on the other side of the Song Dynasty. The matter of blocking the grain trade in the past few months has been resolved? Everyone is doing well and making money. I thought, The two families can sit together, talk about conditions, talk about cooperation... If this is the meaning of the Song Dynasty court, then at least three months ago, when our grain business resumed, the Song Dynasty court planned to buy traitors to come Killed someone? Did the court of Song Dynasty have such foresight?"

Li Yun and Zhou Keshan looked at each other, neither of them could explain.

The economy of the Ding Navy relies on sea trade, and the key to sea trade is the State of Song, so Guo Ning has always paid close attention to the State of Song in the Southern Dynasties.

A few months ago, the State of Song suddenly blocked the maritime food trade with the Ding Navy, and the Ding Navy immediately used the Koreans as a cover to continue the original business.This kind of cover, of course, can't be very thorough, it's just a superficial cover, the people below all know it well, but the people above have a little vision, so they can't see it.

However, the grain trade with Goryeo has been done in such a safe and stable manner.Song State has the power to control maritime trade officials, including the deputy envoy of Liangzhe Road, the city ship envoy of Mingzhou, the city ship promotion, the supervision of ship affairs, and the coastal system. So many officials are a document It will be able to reach Song Guoxing directly, and continue to pester him endlessly.But none of them will expose it, and none of them wants to be troublesome.

On that day, the Ding Navy fleet went south for trade under the banner of the Koreans, and Li Yun himself was on board.Through the introduction of Zhang Kai and Zhou Keshan, he went ashore privately and met with several old officials of the Ship Department of Qingyuan Prefecture. The officials with real power met and agreed on a tacit understanding in the subsequent inspection and extraction process, and arranged all the benefits of all parties.

These old officials were not of high status, but their actions must have been inspired by officials. It can be seen that the officials in charge of maritime trade in the Song Dynasty generally valued actual benefits and were unwilling to get involved in the conflicts between Jin and Song.

This is a matter of course, and it is also the effect that the Navy has hoped to achieve since the establishment of the navy.

Guo Ning is not a person in the temple, and he never believes that he can win over a certain political force by talking about the truth.He is only convinced that the Song Dynasty court last year in Hangzhou and Qingyuan Mansion's Shipbuilding Division had drawn up to 150 million guan, of which nearly 50 guan directly belonged to the payment of the Ding Navy fleet, and another 50 guan came from Ding Business within the control of the Navy.

These two 50 guan are almost equal to one-fortieth of the annual revenue of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.Not to mention that there is at least the same amount of money to satisfy the appetites of countless officials in eastern Zhejiang, Huaidong and other places.These two huge benefits, how can it be said that you can give up if you give up?
The situation where the Jin and Song Dynasties stand side by side has lasted for a hundred years.The two countries met many times in battle, and the Song people rarely took advantage of the battlefield.Occasionally, when they are in the upper hand, they are used to being weak, and they always lose the advantage gained by the warriors with swords and guns when they fight in court.This kind of thing happened several times back and forth, and it has long since smoothed the hearts of Song people.

A few days after the new emperor of Zhongdu ascended the throne, Guo Ning once convened his staff to speculate on the subsequent changes in the world situation.

At that time, the new emperor came to the throne, changed the Yuan to "Xingding", and then ordered the Chinese and foreign acquaintances.The envoys carrying the edict ran around, not only to the area controlled by the Dinghai Navy, but also to Henan, Guanzhong, Hedong, and the interior of Northeast China.As a result, only the Jurchen allies in the Northeast mainland were the ones who immediately enshrined the new emperor and changed to the new year name.

Both the southeast and north roads in the river and the Xijing road remained silent, but the envoys to Henan were severely reprimanded on the spot, and were almost chopped to pieces by soldiers.

A few days later, all the civil and military officials from Nanjing Road and Guanzhong all expressed to King Sui, saying that they would support King Sui as emperor and fight with Guo Ning, the rebel who occupied the central capital.

In this regard, many staff members in the Ding Navy are a little worried.Some people repeatedly speculated about the benefits that the Nanjing court would offer, and persuaded the Song State of the Southern Dynasty to form an alliance with it, and the allied forces came to attack.

But in the face of the sudden changes in the north, the Song Kingdom in the Southern Dynasty was still as leisurely as before.

Business at sea is still going on.Several secretly opened private ports are still escorted by officials, and those who get money from Ding Haijun on a monthly basis still feel at ease. Occasionally, when the settlement is slow, they will write letters to remind them, as if this is not a private matter. There is no corruption here, but a frank salary.

There has also been no heightened alert at the border.The border military town that has been abandoned for many years is still deserted, and the general's appetite for empty pay has not diminished.Ganluo City near Qinghekou was once a fortress with 1 soldiers, but now it has become the most commonly used transshipment warehouse for smuggling merchants; Thousands of 500 men and 500 cavalry are actually stationed in Xuyi, and the number of soldiers in the imperial battalion dedicated to combat defense will not exceed [-], and the number of cavalry will be less than [-].

The common people have some militia associations of their own. Judging from the training level and equipment, they are higher than the imperial soldiers and horses. However, if they want to expand their scale, the local officials of the Song Dynasty will be the first to treat them like wolves and tigers, and they will never agree.Unless the situation is really tense, the officials will spend some money and food to fill the new army with local refugees and brave men, thinking of their own political capital.

With this appearance, it is said that the civil and military members of the Song Dynasty suddenly rejuvenated, and everyone showed the courage to make contributions and actively intervene in the war in the north... Who can believe it?The military and political strategies of such a big country cannot be promoted by one person.Now that the whole country is accustomed to peace and stability, it cannot be changed at all!Who wants to change it, Han Yuzhou's head is a role model!
Then, in such a Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, why did some people rush to die and offend the vicious Ding Haijun?

Is Jia She a bored guy, or a maverick?
Is this a huge conspiracy set up by the court of the Song Dynasty behind the scenes, or is it a temptation by some political forces?

After all, Ding Haijun's understanding of the Song State was still not enough. Guo Ning, Li Yun, and Zhou Keshan discussed repeatedly, but they still couldn't reach a definite result.The only thing that was beyond doubt was Zhou Keshan's insistence that with Jia She's character, he would never do anything that was not good for him.

In the end, Guo Ning became impatient and pointed at Li Yun and Zhou Keshan.

"The two of you go south together, and I will order a group of elite soldiers to accompany you. First, go to Chuzhou to find out the local conditions, and then arrest that Jia She and send him to Zhigu Village! I will ask him personally!"

It seems that all the government affairs discussed by Guo Ning will always fall into some kind of rough and violent methods in the end, and the effect of such rough and violent methods is usually not bad.

Li Yun and Zhou Keshan looked at each other, bowed together and said, "I obey."

I have to go out in a hurry, so don't blame me for being shorter in today's two chapters...
