38. The end of the earth

The countdown begins, and there are still 26 days before the disaster.

The next morning, 8 o'clock.

Ms. Li Qingzhao, the youngest Secretary of State of State of the Song Dynasty, successfully concluded her visit to Beijing, the capital of Liaoning, and embarked on the road of returning to China. After an hour of flight, she successfully arrived at Bianliang White Horse Air Force Base in the newly developed Royal No. 1 airship of the Song Dynasty, and then changed to the four-wheeled horse designated by the Protocol Department. The car returned to the city.

There are two important documents in her black briefcase.

One is the ceasefire agreement just signed by Song and Liao. Liao recognized that the 16 prefectures of Yanyun south of the 41° north latitude line belong to China, and unconditionally opened the border. The army withdrew to the mainland, disarmed 500,000, cancelled the armored force number, and only retained a national guard of 100,000 people. Hold the stability of the country.

Subsequently, His Royal Highness Yelü Xiuge, Minister of Defense of Liaoning, praised the noble quality of our army through the radio. He admitted that the Song army was indeed a powerful and majestic division; a strong opponent and respectable opponent, he and his generals were convinced.

So far, the hostility between the Song and Liao countries has come to an end. The authorities in Liao have turned their attention to the interior and are committed to rebuilding the country. Their goal is to build Liao into a civilized country. Just like the Song Dynasty, the country is rich and the people are strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the world is peaceful, the education is developed, and everyone knows it. Reason.

The other one, which is highly confidential, is the "Assistance Plan" jointly formulated after many consultations between the two countries. In view of the three-year war, Liao has suffered heavy losses and is unable to repay the war reparations. Ms. Li Qingzhao has proposed a very gentle solution, which is to allow the merchants of the State of Song to open factories in Liao and extract Mine, until all war reparations are repaid.

Of course, out of the humanitarian spirit, the State of Song will not let the people of Liao live in deep trouble. All the merchants of the State of Song who set up factories in the State of Liao will strictly abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty, and those who violate it will be investigated and dealt with will never be soft.

The plan also stipulates that the merchants of the State of Song who opened factories in Liao Province hire local workers to ensure that they will never rip off or squeeze the local people. The salary will be settled on a daily basis, and the local workers will be paid equivalent to the eight-tier salary of domestic workers in the State of the State of Song. The other two layers of salary will be returned to Liao through the drug assistance plan.

Liao agrees to the assistance plan of Song and guarantees the personal safety of merchants without accidents.

The above is the superficial article of the Aid Plan, and both Song and Liao countries will bear corresponding obligations and responsibilities.

As for the background, there is a huge expedition plan. The State of Song asked the State of Liao million immigrants to cross the desert to occupy the vast 'no man's land' in the north, where the forests are dense and fertile land, and there are countless beasts. It is a rare treasure that must be occupied as soon as possible.

The goal of the Song and Liao countries is to cross the desert within a year and reach the beautiful scenic and fresh water-rich 'Moon Lake' area, where they will settle and thrive. The Song Dynasty will also emigrate 500,000 people, but that is in the later stage, and the preliminary work will be completed by Liao immigrants.

The State of Song provides all the necessary equipment until a powerful town is built there, and the immigrants of the State of Song will not enter.

There is a high price for early immigration in Liao, but this price is to become a permanent and legal citizen of Song and enjoy all the rights of Song citizens. Later generations can freely travel between Song and Liao. It is free to go abroad and free to go to school.

At 9 o'clock sharp, Secretary of State Li Qingzhao's carriage left the White Horse Air Force Base and returned to the capital Bianliang under the escort of a team of provincial agents.

However, something unfortunate happened.

When Secretary of State Li Qingzhao's motorcade passed the road near Fengqiu, it was attacked by a bomb. Then, a group of unidentified masked men jumped out of the roadside and shot at the convoy with submachine guns. The firepower was so strong that five agents were killed on the spot and almost rushed to the front of the carriage. Fortunately, the agents of the Ministry rushed out to fight with the enemy to avoid a disaster.

The gunfight between the two sides lasted for 20 minutes. The masked man threw ten grenades at the convoy of the Secretary of State, killing our beloved groom. At the critical moment, he blocked three grenades flying to the carriage with his chest and saved the Secretary of State's life.

Later, seven were thrown back by our brave agents, killing six of them.

Five minutes later, the Royal Special Service stationed in Chenqiao Town rushed to the scene of the accident. They drove a bison motorcycle and rushed to the field and killed ten masked men with assault rifles. The rest of them rode all the way south. The Royal Special Service followed closely and injured one person when they chased to the woods. He fell down. By the river, he tried his best to cover his two companions to dive and escape.

This is the second major case in the Renzong Dynasty since 1042.

The first is that in 1042, General Zhao Ze was abtired by the evil people in the world. Later, General Zhao Ze bravely broke into the Longtan Tiger's Lair, which not only thwarted a conspiracy to subvert the Song Dynasty, but also successfully rescued the first naval marshal of the Song Dynasty, Lord Zhang Dong and Zhang Zhongtong, who had served as judges of the Lianshui Army. This matter was later by the Hanlin Academy. The adults wrote a book called "The Friendship of the Two Marshals", which is included in the Royal Library and is still in print on the market.

The second incident, that is, 30 years later, the Secretary of State's motorcade was attacked.

Li Qingzhao, the young Secretary of State of State of the Song Dynasty, was attacked by an assassin on the way back to Beijing. She broke one arm and one leg. Before she fell into a coma, she also told the agents around her to send the important documents just signed by Song and Liao to the palace.

At 11 o'clock, the Secretary of State was sent to Bianliang Royal Hospital because he lost too much blood. She was operated on by President Cao Sanyuan, who was skilled in medicine. He was also the originator of Western Medicine in the Song Dynasty. He was taught by Dr. Su Su, a person from Shucheng County, Luzhou. His ancestors had served as a royal doctor in the court, but he was not as President Cao Sanyuan.

After more than five hours of rescue, our young Secretary of State Li Qingzhao woke up. When she saw His Majesty Renzong sitting beside her, her eyes filled with excitement.

At noon that day, Mr. Chen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to a secret base near Bianliang with his agents to interrogate the prisoners.

I know his name and home address.

However, when the agents rushed in there, at the stronghold, they found that the people living in it had run away, and all the evidence had been destroyed. There was no way to know who was behind it.

This made Eunuch Chen furious. He ordered the intelligence director Tong Guan to cut off one of the prisoner's ears with his own hands to serve as an example.

Put down the bomb attack and don't mention it in advance.

Besides, Cai Jing, the minister of the Protocol Department of the Song Dynasty, Lord Cai passed through the time and space gate safely and stepped on the territory of the Han Empire.

There are a lot of entourage, a company of marines, and the commander's name is Song Jiang.

There are a hundred husbands, and the leader is Chao Gai.

However, after a while, he encountered a great difficulty, a great difficulty.

The difficulty is that he landed in a desert, the sky was blue and the sun was shining.

Waves of heat swept across the whole desert, as hot as sitting in a steamer, and it was difficult to breathe.

It's dizzy and unbearable.

There is also an endless desert, stretching for thousands of miles. There is no edge at all. Even the compass is broken. It is estimated that it will be broken through the door of time and space.

What should I do?

Turn around?

Yes, it's the time and space door. Ask General Zhao Ze how to deal with it.

Cai Jing is not a fool, like a monkey. If he goes back, he will definitely be scolded by Zhao Ze. Maybe he will be known by His Majesty Renzong. In that case, his official career will come to an end. First of all, the members of Congress will impeach him, and secondly, domestic public opinion will condemn him, saying that he is as timid.

"Hey, it's a dilemma!"

Although Lord Cai Jingcai is a little frustrated, the road has to go on. Let's go. Even if he dies, he will die in the land of the Han Dynasty. At least he is still a hero and will be remembered by future generations. If he goes back, he can only be a bear.

There is no joy in life or death. Let's go and go!

In this way, our Lord Cai Jing led the soldiers and pickers into the endless golden desert with his back and went on his way.
