What secret weapon did Yue Fei and Baivalhan bring that could make Li Yan determined to continue attacking Japan?

The secret weapon they brought was...Shen Luozhou.

The slung boat is shaped like a clam shell. All gaps are sealed with asphalt. Water cannot enter. It can walk under the water. It can accommodate hundreds of people inside. It can cross the ocean and the sea. It can travel a hundred miles a day without fear of wind and waves.

To put it bluntly, what Yue Fei and Baivalhan brought were actually simple submarines.

Yue Fei was preparing to build three or five hundred slung boats, then built a plank road openly and secretly traveled 30,000 to 50,000 elite troops to the north side of Siguo Island to find a place to land quietly, and then attacked forward and backward, and captured Siguo Island in one battle.

As long as Shikoku Island can be captured, the right-wing army can use Shikoku Island as a pedal to land on Honshu Island, and then attack Zhou Defense and Nagato from front to back, and then conquer the defense line south of the Japanese army and open the gate of Honshu Island.

Li Yan was very optimistic about the sank boat, and then was very optimistic about Yue Fei's plan to build the plank road and secretly travel to Chencang. Therefore, he secretly ordered Baivalhan to mobilize all craftsmen and boatmen to make the sank boat.

In order to paralyze the Japanese, Li Yan first ordered the left and right armies to temporarily hold troops and clear the resistance forces in the land they had obtained, and then sent Sakabu's son and Wang Jieru to negotiate with the envoys sent by Japan. Li Yan himself practiced Taoist health preservation techniques with Zhenren Luo, while paying attention to the development and construction of the water-pooled Liangshan, which was very meaningful to steer the horse and Nanshan to enhance national strength.

...

The battles between Liangshan and Japan were paid by the Song, Jin, Xixia, and even Emperor Tianzuo and Mongolian tribes were paying attention.

It took only more than three months to capture one-third of Japan's territory, and forced Japan to cede land, call it a vassal, pay tribute, and send protons to make friends with Shuibo Liangshan forever. The fear and vigilance of all forces against Shuibo Liangshan increased by three points.

All forces sent envoys to Seoul to show their goodwill to Li Yan. Among them, Song State was the most attentive. Not only did they send a large number of gifts to congratulate him, they also urged Li Yan to send people to take over Hainan Island, Huating County, and Dongguan County as soon as possible, and then the two companies will conduct full trade and prosper together.

Learned from the lessons learned from the failure of diplomacy that led to his siege by the six forces, Li Yan vigorously developed diplomacy this time, sent out all diplomatic talents such as Xiao Rong, Han Fang, Zhang Yan, Zhang Chan, Jin Fu Bi, etc., and asked them to bring enough specialties from the Liangshan Mountain, establish diplomatic relations with all forces, discuss jointly developing the economy and enhancing national strength, and make full preparations to take root in Liaodong and not compete with all forces again.

Among these forces, Shuibo Liangshan has been following the Song State. Recently, he learned that the Song army lacked military armor. Li Yan sold a batch of excellent fine iron in the Song State at the market price and promised that the Song State would buy whatever it wanted.

The State of Song was originally not short of iron.

But the two defeats of Yan Dina caused Song to lose a lot of troops.

Moreover, those two battles also emptied the Song State's reserves for many years.

In addition, the State of Song also consumes tens of millions of kilograms of iron every year, and just like iron coins, it requires tens of millions of kilograms of fine iron.

More importantly, this is a good opportunity to restore the relationship with Shuibo Liangshan.

Therefore, the State of Song bought 50 million kilograms of fine iron with Shuibo Liangshan at one time.

Li Yan knew that Song State had no money now, so he did not ask Song State to pay with gold and silver, but instead asked someone to use the money to purchase some materials that were short of Liangshan in the Song State.

The two sides actively traded, which slowly eased the relationship between the two sides.

...

On the sixth day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Ma Kuo accompanied the Jin envoy to Tokyo.

The Jin envoy submitted his obituary, and Zhao Ji issued an edict to stop the court for five days for Wanyan Aguda's death to show his condolences.

In order to express his deep condolences to Wanyan Aguda, Zhao Ji also specially wore mourning clothes at the east gate of the imperial city to show his mourning.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was the Shangyuan Festival.

Every year, the Shangyuan Festival is a grand event in Tokyo. In June of the first year of Chunhua, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi ordered the suspension of the Zhongyuan and Xiayuan Lantern Exhibition and concentrated efforts to hold the Shangyuan Lantern Exhibition. The Shangyuan Lantern Exhibition was held for five consecutive days, which has become a regulation of the Song Dynasty. How to hold the Shangyuan Lantern Exhibition well has become a major event in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo. In fact, the Shangyuan Lantern Exhibition has become one of the iconic grand festivals in Tokyo.

During the Huizong period, the Shangyuan Lantern Exhibition was even more magnificent and unprecedented.

In order to organize the Shangyuan Lantern Exhibition well, the preview was held in the Jinglongmen area since the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month of the first year, which was called "pre-appreciation", and the activities of the Lantern Exhibition were also richer.

Every year when facing this grand scene, Zhao Ji is full of joy and full of joy.

However, this year is a little different.

This year, Zhao Ji was a little depressed.

Zhao Ji was like this, naturally not because of Wanyan Aguda's death, but because of the Zhang Jue incident in Pingzhou.

The Zhangjue incident in Pingzhou left a heavy shadow in Zhao Ji's heart.

Zhao Ji knew that his wish to take back Ping, Luan and Ying had completely turned into nothing, and he would never be able to block the last passage for the Hu people to go south.

That night, Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng were watching the lanterns on Xuande Tower. An unexpected incident made Zhao Ji's heavy mood worse.

This is the event.

According to regulations, when the emperor watches the lanterns on the imperial building, the Kaifeng prefect must arrange guards downstairs to ensure the emperor's safety.

But for some reason, the Kaifeng Prefecture Governor did not seem to have arranged a guard downstairs this time.

At that time, Zhao Ji was standing alone under the window of the west building, with no eunuchs following him.

Sudden!

One person jumped out of the crowd!

That man, a man in a black cloth, was like a monk and a child in a temple.

The man pointed at Zhao Ji with his finger and said loudly, "You are, what kind of gods are there? I dare to destroy my teachings. Now I say to you, and the reward is coming! I am still not afraid of you, how can you destroy all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?"

At that time, many people heard these words.

Soon, the man was captured by the guards.

Zhao Ji was furious and personally tried the man.

The man said, "How could I escape from you? I have shown you this so that you can know what I have no choice but to teach you. I will hear you suffering from me, and I will not speak now."

Zhao Ji was furious and ordered someone to torture the man.

But the man didn't say a word, as if he was in pain at all.

The person who implemented it was shocked!

Zhao Ji was also shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to invite Song Chong Miaoyu to come.

Song Chong Miaoshan practiced heavenly law, and was very famous and known as Master Song in the world.

Master Song hurried to the scene, then looked at it, and then reported to Zhao Ji: "The evil ghosts I have been governed by, this person is something I cannot recognize."

The interrogator had no choice but to continue to apply to the criminal law to the man, cut off his tendons, and put his sword on his body, making his flesh and blood messy.

By night, the man had been tortured to the point of being unhealthy and died.

This emergencies made Zhao Ji, who was already unhappy, even more unhappy.

Everyone in the world said: "Ahhh! The Buddha clan is actually a human being."

Zhao Ji's attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism is very clear, that is, he denounces Buddhism and respects Taoism.

There have been four Buddhist destruction movements in Chinese history, namely the seventh year of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the third year of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty, and the second year of Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, which was called "Three Martial Arts and One Sect" in Buddhist history.

Although Zhao Ji did not implement the act of destroying Buddhism, he did cause harm to Buddhism.

Zhao Ji believed in Taoism, especially during the Zhenghe and Xuanhe periods, and began to worship Taoism on a large scale nationwide.

In the sixth year of Zhenghe, Zhao Ji listened to the false myths fabricated by Taoist Lin Lingsu, and believed that he was the eldest son of God, Shenxiao Yuqing, King Shenxiao, descending to the earth and called "Eternal Emperor".

The next year, Zhao Ji issued an edict to inform the whole country that the Wanshou Palace in Tianning was changed to the Wanshou Palace in Shenxiao Yuqing, and a statue of the Great Emperor of Changsheng was set up in the hall.

In April, Zhao Ji said to the Taoist Academy: "I am the son of the Emperor of Haotian. I am the Emperor of Daxiao. I saw that China was burned by the Jin Di sect and sacrificing my body to seek enlightenment. I am very merciful and begged God for being the master of man and to return to the right path. The emperor agreed to ask my younger brother, Emperor Qinghua, to power my daoxia. I was frightened for a long time and was worried that my church was not yet in the past, so you can submit a letter to the leader, Daojun, and the emperor."

So, the ministers and the Daoluyuan listed them.

In the first month of the first spring of the first year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji issued an edict: "The Buddha changed his name to Dajue Zhenxian, and I was an immortal and a great scholar. The monk was a virtue scholar, changed his clothes and was named a surname. The temple was a palace and the courtyard was a temple, which means that the abbot was a knowledge of the palace and the temple affairs."

Soon, Zhao Ji changed his name to Ni and Female De.

The abolition of Buddha caused a stir in the Buddhist community. Not only did monks everywhere continue to resist, but many ministers in the court also opposed the abolition of Buddha.

The farce of abolishing Buddha was not announced until June of the second year of Xuanhe that it was announced that it would end. Under pressure from both internal and external sources, Zhao Ji had to issue a special edict to restore the titles of temples and monks and nuns.

However, the harm caused to the Buddhist community by Zhao Ji's abolition of Buddha may not be repaired by an edict.

This incident is a good proof.

After the story reached Li Yan's ears, Li Yan, who has been practicing breathing and yang-picking techniques every day, thought about it and asked Lu Zhishen to send someone to Mount Wutai to invite his master, Elder Zhizhen, to Seoul to hold a water and land Dharma meeting.

Lu Zhishen missed his master, Elder Zhizhen, so he personally went back to Mount Wutai.

More than ten days later, Elder Zhizhen came to Seoul and held a large-scale water and land Dharma meeting.

After the Water and Land Dharma Assembly ended, Li Yan personally chatted with Elder Zhizhen for half a day and benefited a lot.

Soon, Li Yan promulgated the religious law:

All the people who dock Liangshan have freedom of belief.

No organization or individual may force the public to believe in religion or not.

People who believe in religion or people who do not believe in religion shall not be discriminated against, people who believe in religion and people who do not believe in religion, and people who believe in different religions shall respect each other and live in harmony.

The state protects normal religious activities.

No one shall use religion to engage in activities that disrupt social order, damage citizens' physical health, and hinder the national education system.

Religious groups and religious affairs are not dominated by foreign forces.
