Yun Zheng can be regarded as seeing through this group of stingy civil officials, the emperor launched the war on his own initiative, they want to give the emperor an unforgettable lesson, they are courtiers and it is not easy to start, so they found the Liao Emperor, a guy who can be equal to the emperor, to make the Great Song Emperor Xi Ying triumphant.

Earlier, these civil officials thought that it would be rare for the Great Song Dynasty to remain undefeated, but they did not expect that the Jingxi Army would defeat a main army of the Liao State and stabilize the precarious Dingzhou front.

This is completely out of the prediction of this group of civil officials in the early stage of the war, the current situation is favorable to Zhao Zhen, but it may not be beneficial to the people of the Song Dynasty, the meaningless war of attrition not only consumes the savings accumulated by the people in recent years, and many of the things that the Great Song Dynasty is eager to complete have not been done, the course of the Yellow River has been silted up to a dangerous value, this time is the time of the summer flood, the river embankment should be full of people who repair the river embankment, but the people are all organized into people are transporting strategic materials to the border in groups.

The war is too big, from the sea in the east to Qingtang in the west, every place is inextricably fought, and every place does not dare to relax lightly, and the transfer of various places makes it as busy as a donkey, and it has to accept all kinds of difficulties of the border generals, only in wartime, the importance of the generals will exceed these civil officials, so whether it is Di Qing, or Yun Zheng, or Fu Bi, or a kind of lion does not take advantage of this opportunity to open his mouth, when will it be?

Eighty percent of the imperial court's military budget this year was invested in the war, and Wang Anshi held a golden rooster that could lay golden eggs in his hand, but he was worried that he had no money to hatch more golden roosters. The distribution plan of Da Song Qian Zhuang has been delayed again and again, and the construction of outlets completed this year is less than 10% of last year.

The ability to serve as a prisoner has also been thoroughly discovered. Day and night for the border army to prepare all kinds of gunpowder shells, because of the urgency, so will be negligent supervision, gunpowder workshops have been blown up three, for a time outside Tokyo Kakuna Island almost became the island of death for craftsmen, as long as it is a craftsman on the island, will spontaneously say goodbye to their families......

Yun Zheng knows these things clearly. But he never slowed down to open his mouth to ask for armaments, which were always insufficient anyway. It doesn't seem bad to put money on the development of armaments.

"There may be a big hole to be filled in the finances of the Great Song Dynasty this year, Yunhou, you can take the initiative to tell Your Majesty that it is not appropriate to fight again, the old man is very pleased." Bao Zheng and Yun Zheng walked side by side. explained the difficulties of the court to Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng smiled bitterly: "I can't move, the battle losses of the Jingxi Army have exceeded twenty percent, there is such a saying in the army, as long as the battle losses exceed thirty percent, the army will collapse, although the Jingxi Army is tougher, once the battle losses exceed forty percent, I will immediately order the whole army to retreat, otherwise." There will be a catastrophe of annihilation.

Therefore, I do not plan to fight from the actual situation, if the Jingxi Army still has combat strength. I will never give up the four states of Liao, Xijing! And whether you can hold on or not, I'm going to ask for it to continue. ”

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "This is the so-called national strength determines the war, if the Great Song Dynasty is strong enough, the old man will resolutely support you to continue the Northern Expedition, how can it be a failure."

It's a pity that our national strength can only go so far, and we can defeat Liao on the frontal battlefield. It's already a rare victory in a century.

Don't worry, you're still young. As long as we have been lying on our salaries for ten years, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will definitely be able to go down in one go, and you will still be able to get the prince you hope for at that time! ”

Yun Zheng laughed and said: "10,000 years is too long, I only seize the day, I have to become famous as soon as possible since ancient times, and I have won the throne in my seventies and eighties, who am I going to show off?"

The purpose of wanting the prince is to be able to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble without scruples, and eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all some hard work, do you still have the strength to do these things? When the time comes, you will ask me to behave like an elder, and let me sit on the high hall with a dead face all day long as a clay sculpture and wood carving, which is extremely boring! ”

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "What you said is very clear, if you really become a king, what you pursue all day long is still eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, if someone dares to impeach you, the old man will definitely spit on his face if he does not die." ”

Yun Zheng approached Bao Zheng and whispered: "Where did you get the conclusion that once a person becomes a king, he will definitely plot the imperial power?"

Historically? Why didn't I find out? If the desire in his heart is insatiable, even if he is a small soldier, he will have the idea of usurping power and seizing the throne, if a person looks down on the imperial power from the bottom of his heart, even if you put him on the throne of the emperor, he will run away. ”

Bao Zheng said: "You are really not interested in higher power? ”

Yun Zheng gritted at his big white teeth and smiled: "You can keep this sentence in mind, Yun Zheng has never looked down on imperial power, compared to imperial power, I prefer to be a pirate who does all kinds of evil, if you are still alive after a few decades, you will definitely hear about a legendary pirate surnamed Yun across the seas, not that Yun Zheng has become an emperor!" ”

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "The old man has been an official for many years and knows a truth, his heart is the most difficult to stick to, and the dream of childhood is the most beautiful, but how many people can fulfill these dreams?"

The years are older, the bigger, and in the end it is difficult to fill the desire, how many corrupt officials have been rectified by the old man over the years, if they want to be corrupt from the day they become officials, it is really a bit wronged, they are all after being an official for many years, and they find that being an official is just like that, they want to do things with difficulties, retreat and self-control, but they can't keep their hearts, they have good, they want better, they want better, they want the best, this is the origin of corrupt officials.

Step by step, he put himself on the devil's level, his eyes were covered by silver, he did anything, he dared to do anything, he was driven to control himself with animal nature, and lived with the instinct of a beast, and this kind of thing was invisible, and the most beautiful emotions in the world would be laughed at by him, and he would laugh at others for rolling in the mud.

It will not wake up until the day of the decapitation or raid, but by this time, it is too late, and it is a hundred years to turn back.

Yun Zheng, you are proud of your youth, the palace gate roll call, in a short period of time to the second grade, there are beautiful wives and concubines at home, there are thousands of family wealth in the house, there are countless warriors under the door, you yourself are talented and intelligent, stand out from the tens of thousands of people, and the battle of Yanmen Pass makes you famous all over the world.

The old man asked, can you keep your heart? ”

Yun Zheng sighed and laughed without answering, Lao Bao still didn't know, a person who has been on a plane would envy a carriage that can turn people upside down?

The beggar holds the steamed bun for fear that others will come to fight, saying that Bao Zheng is like this, the power of the emperor lies in the domination, and this job is exactly what he dislikes the most, when he was in school, he didn't even want to be the head of the grade group, and then he went to be the emperor who annoyed people?

The two beauties are overwhelmed, and they sleep with Ge Qiuyan for two more nights, Lu Qingqing will have a whisper, who can stand more beauties? Unless you become a pervert!

It didn't take much effort to walk more than ten miles, and the civil and military officials in Dingzhou City greeted the emperor at the mouth of the three crows, and the tired Zhao Zhenqiang met with Han Qi and others in good spirits, Han Qi saw that the emperor was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't do too much red tape, and retreated after greetings.

It was Yun Zheng's idea to set up a military fortress in Sanyakou, although it was much more convenient to enter Dingzhou City, but Yun Zheng insisted on welcoming the emperor here, and he felt uncomfortable when he stayed in that shameful city for one more day.

"Your Majesty is not allowed to come in with unknown food!" Zou Tong squinted his eyes to block the food sent by the chef in the army, and a large bowl of fragrant noodles was put behind him by him, ready to eat it himself later.

"Your Majesty is not allowed to drink tea that is used for unknown purposes!" Zou Tong raised his hand and stopped Yu Hou, who was about to send water in, but he kept the tea and drank it by himself for a while.

"Your Majesty is not allowed to bathe in the open air, and the water can only be used after it has been tested to be non-toxic." Zou Tong took a look at the pool newly dug by the soldiers, and found that it was a hot spring, and the pool was surrounded by small stones, and a thick layer of fine sand was spread underneath, and decided to wait for a while to soak in it himself.

"陛xià can't ......"

There was really no way to join the army, so I had to go to the general, Yun Zheng threw over a bag of silver and roared: "Do you think it's better to let Your Majesty spend the money to buy it yourself?" All the good intentions of the soldiers have been brought to you by you. ”

Zou Tong's feet were smashed by the silver and hurt very much, but this guy still wrenched the dead man's face and said: "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, and you can only have a sense of reverence for Your Majesty, and you can't ...... it."

"Shut up!" Han Qi, who lived nearby, was furious.

After eating noodles and drinking tea, and teasing the hot springs, he said to Zou Tong: "Your Majesty is now in the army, and naturally the supreme commander of my army, how can you not eat military food?" Don't abide by the rules of the army, now these things have been personally inspected by the old man, no problem, this is sent in, as for the bath, it will be surrounded by a curtain for a while, and you will serve it personally, and you must not let the woman approach His Majesty's body. ”

Han Qi was the Minister of the Interior, Zou Tong didn't dare to offend, and muttered that it was not in line with the ancestral system, but he still sent food and tea in.

Han Qi frowned and asked Yun Zheng: "You are not an eventful person, why do you have to invite His Majesty to dinner and tea?" It's not a big deal. ”

Yun Zheng sat on the stone, looked at the sun that was about to set, and said lightly: "My future is very clear, but their future is not clear, I just want His Majesty to know that these soldiers are my Yun Zheng's subordinates, and they are also his subjects.

Anyway, as long as I train a strong army, you will always have a way to take them away from me, you are ruthless, I can't be unjust! ”

Han Qi was silent for a long time, and finally whispered in a hoarse voice: "There will be great changes in the imperial court, and you should not be surrounded by a large army!" (To be continued)
