Chapter Seventy-Five: King, We Seem to Have No Money! (Ask for recommendation, ask for collection)
Qin Hui finally reluctantly left, and went to the Pingding Army to find Yue Fei, the first warrior in Xiangzhou who came out of nowhere.
And after sending away the traitor Qin Hui, Zhao Kai found Du Chong, the "second traitor" under the Hebei Marshal's Mansion.
Of course, Zhao Kai didn't know how miserable Du Chong's goods had pitted the Great Song Dynasty in history. The reason why he made Du a traitor was that this guy actually wanted to call a "coup" in his absence, and wanted to push Zhao Zhi to power.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhi is cowardly enough, Chen Ji is firm enough, Lu Yihao is also knowledgeable enough about current affairs, and Pan Cailian is even more responsible...... That's why he didn't let Du Chong, a traitor, succeed.
Zhao Kaixin said: Of course, this king is not afraid of the natural choice, but Zhao Zhi's cowardice is miserable! It's not easy to be a marshal, and it's even harder to think about it - he is not the son of this king, nor is he a little hairy child, once he ascends to the throne, there will inevitably be a group of people attached to the past. If he is ousted again, the interior of the Shuai Mansion will have to be washed again...... All that is lost is the anti-gold power!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai in the Chongzheng Hall of the Imperial City of the Daimyo's Mansion looked at Du Chong's eyes getting colder and colder, so cold that Du Chong's back was cold, and he cheered himself up vigorously: I am a civil official, I am a civil official......
Civilian officials are not very easy to kill!
Although Zhao Kai was a little angry, he also knew this rule. If he is an official now, he may kill Qin Hui and Du Chong.
But he is not yet, he is just a king with a heavy army, although he has a little army at hand, but most of the officials who control the territory under him are civilian officials.
If he slaughtered Du Chong, a Zhizhou who was born as a jinshi, for no reason, I am afraid that the entire Hebei officialdom will turn against him.
And he's also reasonable...... At least he thinks he's reasonable. Although this Du Chong wanted to make a plan, he was the only local official in Hebei who personally led troops to protect grain to the Daimyo Mansion to support the Hebei Marshal's Mansion. If he is killed, will the local officials elsewhere dare to vote?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai's expression had eased, but his brows furrowed, "Du Taishou, King Gu received a report today, Guo Yaoshi, who was defeated in Wei County a few days ago, has led the remnants of 7,000 people into Cangzhou, and is now stationed in Changlu Town and Qianfu Village, and is likely to invade Qingchi County, the seat of Cangzhou Governance!" ”
Du Chong was startled when he heard the news, looked at Zhao Kai in a daze, and thought: This king won't let me lead troops to fight Guo Yaoshi, right?
Zhao Kai looked at Du Chong, "Du Taishou, you are a civil official, although you can strategize, you can't kill thieves in battle, it's not appropriate to fight with Pharmacist Guo." ”
"What the king said is very true!" Du Chong breathed a sigh of relief, "Scholar Chen, it is true that he will not lead troops......"
Zhao Kai gave Liang Fangping who was standing on the side a look, Liang Fangping immediately stood up, and after a salute, he said: "King, the minister is the envoy of the system, so let the minister go to fight Guo Yaoshi!" ”
You? Can you beat Pharmacist Guo?
Du Chong really didn't expect this Liang Fangping to stand up, so he was also taken aback.
Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Okay, since Liang Zhishuai can go, King Gu is relieved...... Du Taishou, why don't you go to King Gu's marshal mansion as a military senator and hand over the governor of Cangzhou to Liang Zhishuai. ”
Du Chong understood at once that Zhao Kai wanted to seize his military power and territory!
Although he was not reluctant, he also knew that he had made a mistake in supporting Zhao Zhi, and now he had to perform well and see if he could redeem a little?
"The king asked his ministers to serve in the military plane, but the ministers couldn't ask for it, and the ministers were civil officials and would not lead troops...... I couldn't control the 4,000 Cangzhou soldiers at hand for a long time, and now they are all led by Liang Daguan. ”
The attitude is good!
Zhao Kai nodded with a smile and said, "Senator Du is from Xiangzhou, right?" ”
"Chen's hometown is Anyang, Xiangzhou," Du Chong replied with a smile, "and the same county as the Han family in Xiangzhou." ”
Zhao Kai said with a smile: "I will move to Xiangzhou in a few days, and I just need Senator Du, a Xiangzhou person, to lead the way!" ”
Most of the gloom in Du Chong's heart disappeared, and he replied with a smile: "The minister grew up in Xiangzhou, and he can walk around Anyang City three times with his eyes closed!" ”
Zhao Kai was also very happy, there was a leading party, and he knew where to go to pull Xiangzhou Zhuangding to be a soldier, and where to clear the field and inspect the land, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Then there will be Senator Laodu." ”
......
After successfully relieving Du Chong of his military power and incorporating Du Chong's 4,000 Cangzhou soldiers, Zhao Kai began to prepare for moving the town and recruiting new soldiers in Xiangzhou, Cizhou, Xindefu, Zhendingfu, Zhaozhou and other places.
If you want to fight against gold, you have to have enough troops! What do you want to take? And it is better for these armies to be firmly in the hands of the Marshal's Office...... That is, Zhao Kai's army!
At present, there are quite a few local armed forces of all kinds on the ground in Hebei, and there are tens of thousands of armed forces who claim to be righteous soldiers who have poured into the Daimyo's Mansion alone.
However, the officials of the Generalissimo's Mansion, as well as the officials of the Daimyo Mansion and the Hebei Transit Envoy Division, did not treat these rebels who looked much like refugees. The reason is very simple, these rebels are difficult to use, and they are quite expensive.
Rebels don't mean free! It can't be free, loyal and patriotic can't be eaten, and the rebels still have to be equipped and trained, and a considerable number of them still have to support their families, how can it be free? In the process of formation, the rebel army has become a system of its own, and the internal personnel are uneven, and it is usually very difficult to even clarify the number of people, and it is difficult to rectify it without making a lot of effort. With this kind of effort, wouldn't it be good to go directly to several state capitals close to Taihang Mountain to recruit 108,000 hard-working simple mountain people?
If the Hebei Marshal's Mansion has money, it might as well recruit more rebels to raise and slowly rectify, but the problem is that Zhao Kai is running out of money now. Not only can't you raise a rebel army, but even a serious official army doesn't seem to be able to raise too much!
"King, we can't recruit so many recruits, we can't afford to raise them, we're running out of money!"
In the palace of the Daimyo's mansion, he was discussing with his subordinates to recruit troops and expand the army Zhao Kai, when he suddenly heard a problem that he didn't expect - no money!
How could Da Song have no money? Zhao Kaixin said: Didn't you say that Da Song was particularly rich? Didn't you say that Song Fengheng Yu was big? Why is it that he is the same as Poor Ming, and he has no money?
No, if you don't have money now, wouldn't that be worse than being poor? Poor Ming went from beating Salhu to Emperor Chongzhen's death, and it lasted for more than 20 years!
The Song Dynasty's anti-Jin campaign has just begun, why is there no money? Who's talking nonsense?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai hurriedly followed the prestige and found that the person who was talking nonsense was Lu Yihao, who had just been promoted to the post of chief historian.
Lu Yihao saw Zhao Kai's eyes and hurriedly explained: "King, when the Changshi Division moved from Kaifeng Mansion to the Daimyo, he brought a total of 3.3 million silver, money, silk cloth and other goods.
Later, he took over about 350,000 pieces of silver, money, silk cloth and 550,000 stone of rice and grain in the treasury of Hebei Transshipment, and seized about 230,000 stone of grain and horse material from gold thieves in Linzhang in the Battle of Wei County. The total is around 4.43 million.
At present, there are 8,000 soldiers and horses in Tiance Army, including 5,000 cavalry, 2,500 auxiliaries, and 500 infantry guards; Wei Fuyi served in 6,500 troops, including 300 cavalry and 1,200 auxiliaries; The army of Shuaifu Ya was 6,500, including 300 cavalry and 1,200 auxiliaries; 5,000 daimyo's army, including 1,000 auxiliaries; The Cangzhou army is 5,000, of which the auxiliary soldiers are also 1,000. There were more than 31,000 people and more than 15,000 horses. The food and materials of these horses alone have to spend as much as 120,000 yuan a month! Since the beginning of the year, $300,000 has been spent on this aspect.
The total number of officials of the Shuaifu and the Hebei Transit Envoy Department is also thousands, and they also need to be spent by the Minister of the Shuaifu, Shi Si, and they have to spend about 20,000 yuan a month!
There is also the cost of the previous battle of Wei County, including the cost of rewards, pensions, supplementary equipment and horses, totaling more than 380,000!
In addition, it is the expenses of the relocation of the town and the two recruitment divisions, a total of 450,000 yuan has been withheld!
The above expenses are added together, and the total is more than 1.28 million, so the silver, money, silk cloth, and grain that Changshi Si can spend on hand are still about 3.15 million in total.
The king, now it is only in March of the eighth year of the declaration of peace...... If you spend money at the current rate, the 3.15 million will be exhausted by the end of the year! ”
