Chapter 375 Denglai returns home
Liu Xinqi fell silent.

After thinking about it for a moment, we can see that Xu Han's request is because he still has hope for the State of Zhao. He hopes that by returning Wanyan Zongjun, Zhao and Jin can really reach a peace agreement.

But Liu Xinqi knew that peace could only be achieved through fighting, not through negotiation.

A country must not be weak, and if it is weak, it will be bullied. This is a truth that everyone knows in later generations, and it is also a lesson learned by the Han nation in blood and tears.

In Liu Qi's world, the Zhao State at the same time could gain a foothold south of the Yangtze River, but ultimately relied on war, not peace talks.

Blindly weak finally got only the idiom "search the mountain and check the sea", which is notorious all over the world.

"It depends on his fate. If he can return to the Kingdom of Jin safely through Di Ting's pursuit and blockade, I will suspend sending people to pursue him. If he is intercepted halfway, it will be his fate."

Xu Han knew that Xinghan League and Liu Xinqi were different from the Zhao court in the south and would not affect the decision-making due to the words of civil servants. Moreover, Xu Han was not a civil servant of Xinghan League.

The most important thing is that Mohe Hanhai is the most direct murderer who caused the death of Liu Xinqi's father. In the past, he had no choice but to trade him for the survival of Liujiabao. Now that the Xinghan Alliance has established itself in this world, it will definitely not compromise again. .

"That's all it can do." Xu Han finally accepted Liu Xinqi's promise.

After the main things were settled, a few people chatted about other things. Xu Han introduced the changes in the Southern Zhao court to Liu Xinqi in great detail.

After the war against Jin Dynasty, the main war forces in the imperial court have risen again. The military power in the hands of Yue Peng, Han Zhong and other fierce generals on the front line is also gradually expanding.As long as the Zhuhe Faction no longer holds back, the current military strength of the Southern Zhao court can actually resist the Jin Kingdom, but it is rare that the Zhuhe Faction will not hold back.

In addition to the peace faction, the main force behind the retreat is the Southern Zhao Emperor Song Gou. At this critical juncture, instead of accumulating strength and rising up to regain the lost territory, he plans to move south again. This time the destination has been determined to be Hangzhou. It is estimated that the migration will be completed before the end of the year.

"How can we escape again and again? This gives the soldiers on the front line the confidence to fight against the Jin Kingdom." Zhou Xinyuan sighed.

[This is nothing, he can escape to the sea in future generations. 】Liu Xinqi thought to himself.

However, with the Xinghan Alliance in this life, Southern Zhao should not be in such a state of embarrassment.

After all, with the current scale of the Xinghan League alone, if Jin Guo wanted to go south to attack Zhao, he had to deploy a large army outside the glue line of defense to prevent being blocked by the Xinghan League.

If the Jin State cannot attack Zhao with all its strength, the Zhao army may be able to resist the Jin State's offensive under the control of the Zhuhe faction.

"The official family must be his unspeakable secret. Zhao has already lost two emperors and cannot afford to lose a third. Currently, the migration is southward to ensure the safety of the royal family, which is also a complete strategy." Xu Han explained.

Liu Xinqi sneered at Xu Han's explanation.

Coward is coward, and no amount of explanations can conceal his nature of being afraid of death.

Think about the character of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, "the emperor guards the country, the king dies in the country", and then look at the current Paopao of Song Dynasty, it is really a world.

But having said that, it’s hard to say which of the two is better.

Chongzhen died in Sheji, but it also caused Nanming to be innately deficient and unable to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty, giving away the country in one wave.Although Song Paopao was cowardly and even fled to the sea, he was able to secure half of the country in the end, and even survived the Jin Kingdom in the end.

It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong.

After Xu Han walked around Dengzhou, he took advantage of the typhoon break and took a boat back south to Yangzhou.

During this period, he did not accept Liu Xinqi's suggestive offer to retain him. He still adhered to his previous philosophy and would devote his whole life to the State of Zhao.Liu Xinqi also admired people who were so "loyal" and did not embarrass him. He even arranged for someone to accompany him to inspect Dengzhou and explain the experience, key points and effects of Denglai's reforms.

Liu Xinqi also hopes that Nan Zhao can learn some things and implement them back home so that the economy can improve and the lives of the people of Nan Zhao can be better.

As for whether this will affect the strategy of the Xinghan League in the future, it can be said to be minimal.

When the weapons and equipment reach the level of one generation, they can be crushed.As long as the Xinghan League continues to develop, the generation gap with other surrounding countries will become larger and larger, and eventually even reach the second or third generation gap.

When practical steam engines are developed, all seaside countries in the world will despair in naval battles.With steam engines, railways can also be launched. When the time comes, the logistics and transportation capabilities of the Han Alliance army will also make land countries desperate.

However, at present, we are still far from the birth of a usable steam engine. Air leakage caused by insufficient precision has always been a problem that Liu Zhimu cannot solve.This involves the development of materials science and industrial machines. Liu Xinqi himself is helpless and can only develop slowly.

Not to mention desulfurized rubber, Xinghan League now doesn’t even have rubber.

Fortunately, with advanced theoretical support, the development time will definitely not be very slow, and there will always be a solution one day.

……

On July 20, the No. [-] third issue of "Baixin Xundao" published the Xinghan League's summer tax collection standards and time for this year.

The expropriation standards follow the provisions of the "Xinghan League Land Law" and have not changed. The expropriation time is from July [-] to August [-].

Within one month, people who cannot complete the payment of grain taxes as required within this time period will be booked by the government, and interest (late payment fees) will begin to be calculated until they are paid off.

On July [-], Liu Xinqi finally received the system prompt he had been waiting for.

"System prompt: More than 50.00% of the population of Jiaoshui County in Laizhou has been recognized. The system recognizes that Jiaoshui County belongs to the Xinghan League's sphere of influence, and the influence population has increased by 540."

Liu Xinqi previously thought that the last county recognized by the system would be Laiyang or Jimo.Because of these two counties, the former has a small agricultural population, and the latter is the farthest from Penglai and close to Zhao.

Unexpectedly, these two counties were ahead of the curve.

Laiyang quickly returned home because he guaranteed the most basic income and safety for the miners and no longer desperately exploited them.Jimo, on the other hand, had seen more of the Xinghan League's fleet and had confidence in the Xinghan League, so he returned home after Laiyang.

On the contrary, because glue is located in the interior of the peninsula, it is far away from Penglai, and it is close to Puppet Qi. It lasted until the summer tax was collected, and it was considered to believe in the Xinghan League, and half of the population recognized the Xinghan League.

The [-] general cards promised to Jiao Rui have been obtained. New recruits will be recruited in August, and the army expansion in November will also be supported by general cards.

Liu Xinqi directly chose to recruit.

"Recruited 326 times", reputation -326000, remaining reputation 966.

A flash of light flashed, and Liu Xinqi's eyes were filled with dense military commander cards. The difference from before was that this time the middle position was occupied by a military commander card shining with colorful light.

"Five-star card!" Liu Xinqi shouted with excitement.
