Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

The chapter discusses Changsheng Island and Wang Ning An's plan to revive the Bohai Kingdom. Key points:. - Changsheng Island was once a stronghold for smuggling and now has a population of 2-3 thousand with a dock, farmland, workshops, and shops. - Wang Ning An believes that by supporting the descendants of the Bohai Kingdom and seizing the Liaodong Peninsula, he can weaken the Liao Guo and influence Gao Li and Wa Guo to the east, forming an alliance against Liao Guo. - Wang Ning An argues that reviving the Bohai Kingdom will not cost much and can even be profitable, as Liao Guo relies heavily on the tariffs earned from the region. However, the officials are opposed to the plan. - The chapter ends with a debate between Wang Ning An and the officials, with Jia Chang Chao advising against supporting the "illusory Kingdom of Bohai" as it would deplete the Song Dynasty's national strength.
