The next day, the imperial edict was ordered to be distributed to the court and the prefectures and counties of the two Huaizhou provinces and counties. Another special envoy went to Haozhou to deal with the criminal Zhang Song and escorted him to Lin'an for trial. The fugitives in Haozhou were transferred to local authorities for custody and returned to their homeland after rest. The Holy Driving did not stay for too long, and set off again after dawn and continued to advance to Yingtian Prefecture. Due to the hot weather, the rest time and number of times had to be increased on the way, which slowed down and could only maintain a speed of about fifty miles a day.

Although the days of the march were hard, they were also extremely boring. Zhao Bing, in addition to reviewing the official documents he sent, was devoted to compiling textbooks every day. Last year, he issued an edict to establish the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty, and recruited various talents from all over the country, including skilled craftsmen and astronomy, geography and miscellaneous studies, and planned to establish a college to cultivate engineering talents.

Zhao Bing's purpose was to cultivate scientific and technological talents for the country and promote scientific development. However, his decisions were high and low in the government and the country, and he believed that these "smart" studies were just random and contrary to orthodox studies, and he even opposed the examination subjects for the imperial examination. Therefore, he had never implemented the learning contents of the official school, let alone supported himself in opening a junior college.

In fact, Zhao Bing also understood that the scholars resisted because they were worried that once miscellaneous studies were the subject of official studies and as the content of the imperial examination, it would inevitably lead some people to give up Confucianism and transfer to miscellaneous studies. In this way, learning Confucianism is not the only way to become an official, and the structure of scholars to unify the officialdom will be broken, weakening their strength in the officialdom and the voices of the people, and even losing their dominance in the near future.

Zhao Bing certainly knew the reasons for the scholars' concerns and resistance, and he did have this kind of thought. Because in this country where scholars dominated, they learned the principles of saints, the collections of classics and classics they read, and the poems and songs they played. He thought that although these things could have certain advantages in formulating national policies, improving moral standards and managing the country, their flaws were equally obvious.

Because managing the country is not just verbal, and there are many practical things to do. For example, the construction of water conservancy is a very important task in the agricultural society, but letting an official who only knows it is like a blind man riding a blind horse, and there is no way to start. In order to complete the task, unrealistic blind command and random acts inevitably occur, which wastes a lot of manpower and material resources, but in the end it is a waste of water. The same management of agriculture officials do not understand farming, do not know smelting, and manage mines, and those who do not understand the law, etc., are unimaginable in modern society.

However, this system existed for thousands of years in ancient times. Of course, Zhao Bing did not deny that there were officials who were proficient in water conservancy, astronomy and manufacturing. Otherwise, there would be many magnificent buildings, many water conservancy projects and the Grand Canal spanning the north and south. However, there were too few such officials, and they appeared more as aliens, or just their own hobbies, and they could not represent the entire group at all.

As the implementers, many craftsmen and managers have no chance to enter the mainstream society due to their low status, and they are difficult to enter the ruling class, and there are fewer people who write books and biography for them. As builders and creators, craftsmen are generally not valued and have low cultural levels, and the closedness of technological inheritance is difficult to promote, which makes many inventions and creations unable to be sorted out and recorded, and inevitably gradually disappear into the long river of history, thus hindering the progress of society and technological progress.

As a modern visitor, Zhao Bing knew very well that the progress of science and technology was the basis of social progress, and also saw that technological improvements changed the current society, especially the situation on the battlefield. Therefore, even when facing huge obstacles, he wanted to do this, and thought it was a very meaningful thing. He even felt that this was more meaningful than the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the revival of the Song Dynasty. He also showed such stubbornness as Sanduo built roads. If you don’t help me, I will do it myself.

Zhao Bing naturally understood that he could make a leap in the scientific and technological level of the Song Dynasty within a stage, but under this social form, it could only be a flash in the pan and will be destroyed in the years. To achieve sustainable development, a system must be established and a group of specialized talents must be raised. He also knew that the cultivation of talents, especially the cultivation of scientific and technological talents is not something that can be accomplished overnight, especially in the era of eight hundred years ago, he must start with the most basic education.

However, in the current situation, Zhao Bing is probably the only one who can do it himself. In addition to his transcendent status, he can also act according to his will, but also he is the only person who masters modern knowledge. Therefore, some things can be used by others, and some things can be compiled with textbooks and can only be done by himself. Therefore, during this period, he almost devoted all his spare time to this great project that is enough to change history.

This work is very easy to say. As long as modern junior high school textbooks are taken to this era, they can basically become the highest-end knowledge. Zhao Bing's knowledge is easy to do these things. But the difficulty is how to combine them with the present, so that people can accept, understand, and believe them. For example, the simplest air is invisible and intangible, and it is difficult to make the ancients believe that it exists. Moreover, it is necessary to let them understand that air has weight, and dozens of other components are composed of.

Therefore, when Zhao Bing compiled it, he should not just copy it simply, but should consider the current worldview and acceptance ability, and express it in a language that can be understood and understood. Therefore, this work is not easy and exhausting, but it has finally achieved something. He has completed the compilation of basic textbooks during the Northern Expedition, and is now undergoing secondary proofreading. After completion, he can be sent back to Lin'an for printing...

Five days after setting off from Xuzhou, news came back one after another. After being ordered to go to Haizhou, the First Navy Division quickly launched an encirclement and suppression of pirates. They first divided the troops into two groups, attacked the enemy from two directions, and attacked the pirates' warships with lightning speed. Since most of the pirates had landed and only a few remained behind, the Song Dynasty naval army sunk, seized more than a hundred enemy ships, cutting off the pirates' retreat.

Then, while blocking the coast, Dong Yicheng, the commander of the First Navy Army, organized sailors to go ashore to encircle and suppress the pirates landing in Donghai County. Because the pirates had lost their warships, they were unable to evacuate and were trapped on the island, so they had to retreat to Donghai County. However, after being bombarded by artillery, they were defeated, and they fled and broke into the ambush circle of the Song army, and were all annihilated.

The pirates who invaded Huairen County were already rushed to the beach by Song Junzhou, which was reinforced by nearby prefectures and counties. After finding that the sea was controlled by Song Shujun, they turned to try to seize the civilian ship and cross the Song army's control line to flee north. Some of the Turkish bandits were annihilated by Song Shujun who landed on the battlefield while running away, and one fled into the deep sea regardless of the sea storm. The Song army did not continue to pursue the losses.

Most of the pirates who were invaded in this battle were annihilated, recovered some of the captured property, and regained the Dongshan County occupied by pirates. After interrogation of the captured pirates, Zhao Bing's judgment was confirmed that the group of pirates were composed of Japanese pirates, Korean pirates and the remaining tens of thousands of households of the grain transport army. The organizers behind the scenes were Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan, who provided funds and summoned the horse thieves who fled Shandong, used the Song army's forces to concentrate in the Xuzhou area, and launched a raid and robbed the two counties when the forces in the coastal areas were empty.

After reading the instructions, Zhao Bing ordered that all the captured bandit chiefs and robbers beheaded and the followers were sent to the hard labor camp. He also ordered the First Navy to move to Haizhou, with Dongshan County as the home port, and Dong Yicheng also served as the Haizhou Punishment envoy. The reason why he used the navy to station Haizhou was not only because it was on the front line of the war between the Song and Yuan dynasties, but also because Haizhou was the Lianyungang in later generations and was also the hub of the important maritime transportation line for north-south commerce and trade, and it was not to be lost under the current premise of developing maritime trade.

At the same time, Tian Qi, who was ordered to go to Haozhou to investigate the "escape incident", also sent a report back. After his preliminary investigation, the governor Zhang Song was able to perform his duties after arriving at the territory, but he acted excessively and acted violently in clearing the enemy's capital. Because he was obstructed by some people during the investigation, he used the state army to force him to accept it, which triggered a conflict. As a result, the land and property were confiscated, and the tenants who rented the land were not distributed to the land they deserved, but were treated as a threat and forced to go to the official fields to farm.

When Zhang Song did this, Tian Qi thought he wanted to use thunder to warn him, so as to ensure the development of future work. However, his behavior was used by some people and deliberately distorted and created rumors, saying that the court wanted to confiscate everyone's property and confiscate it into the official village as a slave, and for generations. These rumors caused panic among ordinary people and began to flee.

After discovering this situation, Zhang Song did not issue an announcement and explain in time and appease the people. Instead, he ordered all counties to dispatch yamen runners and township soldiers to arrest them, and set up checkpoints along the road to intercept them. During the execution, the provincial army and township soldiers acted violently, resulting in casualties of fleeing people. Therefore, these actions not only failed to stop the people from escaping, but instead aggravated the escape and made it difficult to deal with.

After the situation got out of control, Zhang Song did not report to the court, but took more intense actions in private, not only confiscated all the property of the fugitives, but also strictly controlled the family members, centralized supervision, and sent troops to pursue them across borders. This caused a large number of casualties among the people, stagnated various work, and even affected the reception work of surrounding prefectures and counties, forming a bad impact.

After truthfully reporting the investigation, Tian Qi also made a fair evaluation of the incident, but he thought that Zhang Song had these extreme behaviors, and it should be alert and should not be ignored...
