Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 1042 Lu Qian's Wish

In the 28th year of Hongwu, Enze Coast, at the port.

Song Gongming, with vicissitudes of life and white hair, looked at his younger brother Song Qing who had a rough face but was still in good spirits, and laughed happily. "It's been more than a year since we parted. My younger brother has been traveling all over the world, working very hard, but the beauty is still the same. Brother Yu is very comforted, very comforted."

He is going back home now.The body is not good, and the energy is not good. Going back this time is returning home, and leaving the stage of power is an inevitable result.However, he could see his younger brother showing up and making great achievements, and Song Gongming sighed in his heart that there are successors.

Who is Song Qing?Hei Saburo's white fan back then.The person who can't understand the revenge of his brother best, naturally understands what Song Jiang is most worried about, and what is happy now.

Song Jiang is the pillar of the Song family. He is old and must leave the central stage of power, but most of the descendants of the Song family are still young, and the age of less than 30 years old is not enough for them to reach high positions, let alone ensure They will go smoothly in the future.Even if they are from Jeju and their surname is Song, even if their surname is Lin, their age is not enough for them to take on great responsibilities.What's more, they didn't show extraordinary excellence.At this time, the rise of Song Qing was a perfect transition.

Although Song Qing's age was not much younger than Song Jiang's, and the power and position of Honglu Temple Minister could not be compared with Song Jiang's, it was a high position anyway.After a few years, Song Qing is going to retire, but these few years can allow the descendants of the Song family to go through the most critical and important years in their careers!
The ten years from the age of 25 to 35 are very important for young officials, all of them are in the seedling state. When everyone is "laying the foundation", even if you can step up to a hurdle earlier, it will have a great impact on your future career. is a huge help.

Song Jiang didn't want Song Qing, who had already taken the position of Minister of Honglu Temple, to use his power for personal gain to benefit the children of the Song family, but just wanted others to 'treat them equally' when they saw the children of the Song family!
The time for brothers to reunite is always short, but two days later, Song Qing bid farewell to Song Jiang who had returned home at the port.After traveling thousands of miles, under the background of today's era, it is really difficult for the two brothers to guarantee that they will see each other again in the future.

At that time, he was the Minister of Honglu Temple, and now the Honglu Temple has been upgraded by Emperor Lu to the second-rank office of the State Administration of Taxation. Song Qing, who is also the plenipotentiary diplomatic ambassador specially appointed by Emperor Lu, cannot see his brother off all the way. Returning to China, he then needs to cross Egypt and enter North Africa.Even lead the secret meeting between Lu Qi and Rome...

Lu Qian did not give up his plan to 'punish' Europe, but he knew that it would be difficult for Lu Qi to do this in a short time.Unless now he stops the exploration and development of the Americas, stops the sinicization of the vast Central Asia and West Asia, and integrates the cavalry of each dependent country and tribe, the mighty horseshoes will definitely be able to travel every inch of the mountains and rivers in Europe ..., but he couldn't make up his mind.

It is easy to stop the exploration and development of the Americas, but once the Sinicization of large areas of Central Asia and West Asia is stopped, the cost and effect of the second opening will be greatly reduced.After much deliberation, Lu Qian decided to temporarily stop punishing Europe!
But this is only temporary, maybe three years, maybe five years, when Lu Qi establishes initial rule in the large area he conquered, when new vassal states appear in Central Asia, West Asia and Europe, when After Lu Qian leaves the throne to the second generation, he will definitely personally lead troops to punish the whole world of one god.

Yes, lead the troops yourself!
This is an idea that Lu Qian has never said to outsiders for many years, but it has become more and more deeply rooted in his heart.

He wants to personally lead troops to attack Europe.

Because his body is still good.What's more, after passing the throne to his son in a few years, his age in this world will only be more than 60 years old, and 60 years old is very old?
Even in the same period of history, there was still Cai Jing who was nearly 60 years old and had been in power four times. Lu Qian didn't feel that he was very old when he was in his [-]s.

Although he knew that once his idea was "revealed to the world", he would definitely be opposed by the whole country.But he really wanted to ravage Europa with his own hands.To punish Europe, to punish Gallic chicken, John Bull, Hans cat, to punish eagle sauce, foot pot chicken, to punish hairy bears, noodles, etc., that is his great wish.

Even though Eagle Sauce has not yet been born, the foot pot chicken has been stewed, and the bear has been killed, but there is no Gallic chicken, John Bull and Hans cat, takeaway Italian noodles, and other condiments. Put it into the pot, it's really not perfect!
But things have to come step by step. Let Song Qing, who has been abroad for many years and has not been able to return to report on his work, even when he was promoted to be the minister of Honglu Temple, he is trying to get the Ethiopian on the road. Hero, talk to Rome secretly.Lu Qi didn't necessarily want to defeat the Byzantines immediately, but the Asia Minor Peninsula was what he was determined to win.

Naturally, if the Europeans can not be so stubborn, this matter will not be a problem.

Although the Europeans are not stupid and know that doing this is of greater significance to Lu Qi, they really can't see the hope of victory.Even if the navy can be used to continuously harass the coastal area at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea and put a lot of pressure on Lu Qi's defense, it is still a disease of scabies.

They can only harass the place, but it is impossible to gain a foothold on the shore.At most it is a pirate!

Therefore, a temporary truce between the two sides may be a choice that is beneficial to both sides.Lu Qi is taking this opportunity to gain a firm foothold, and they can also take advantage of this time period to achieve internal unity and integrate more forces.

If Song Qing can complete this task, together with his previous contributions, as long as he can return to Jinling in good health, there will be a greater future waiting for him.In recent years, there has been a rumor circulating in the Lu Qi Dynasty that Honglu Siqing will also join the cabinet.In that case, the Minister of Honglu Temple is not just the Minister of Honglu Temple, he is also the cabinet minister of the empire.

The iron fan persuaded the Xichaluqi people in the Tianzhu mainland, and waited and watched the Xichalouqi dynasty for a while before deciding to enter the battlefield, but it relieved the pressure on the Lu Qi army.Later, he 'convinced' the Caliph Muktafi of Baghdad, and let Tianfang World 'successfully' remove the name of the Persian Plateau.Muktafi, who has mastered the real power, is now concentrating on the entire Iraqi territory, and then fantasizes about the Tianfang Peninsula and Egypt.With the suppression of his caliph, the resistance of the indigenous people on the entire Persian plateau has been reduced a lot.

Not to mention he evened out the Ethiopians.Although the latter is a separatist force in the Orthodox Church, but no matter what, they still believe in the Orthodox Church, right?

It is not the credit of Song and Qing that makes the Ethiopians finally reject the call of the Byzantines and the call of the monotheistic world, but the credit of the cruel reality.The rapid recovery of the Ethiopians is inseparable from the support of Lu Qi, and it is impossible for them to really fight with Lu Qi.That would cause them a huge setback!
But at this juncture, the Ethiopians did not single-mindedly kill Egypt, but turned around and went south to expand their territory in the interior of Africa. This is the credit of Song Qing.And by reconciling the wars between Ethiopia and Egypt, Song Qing also gained influence in the decadent Fatimid Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone. This is the real credit!
Lu Qian attaches great importance to Egypt for only one reason - the special geographical location.

The Suez Canal, in the short term, is impossible to develop.But what about decades, 100 years, 200 years?

It is an inevitable choice for Lu Qi to attack Europe and dig through the Suez Canal.
