Chapter 838: The next move of the Great Song Dynasty
What to do? Now Zhao Zhen is also thinking about this problem, now seems to be the best time for the Great Song Dynasty to use troops against the Western Xia, the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao was killed by a son, and was succeeded by a one-year-old child, obviously this is the best time for the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen summoned the ministers of the two governments to discuss this matter, Pang Ji looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise, he didn't understand why the emperor was sure that he would be the young heir to succeed to the throne, and now it seems that Brother Ning Ling also has a chance, and it may not necessarily be carried out according to Li Yuanhao's edict.
Many courtiers also thought so, but Zhao Zhen put out the fire with a word: "Now that he has not hidden Pang in Western Xia, he covers the sky with one hand, do you think Brother Ning Ling still has a chance?" As far as I know, Brother Ning Lingge went to Xiangguo Mansion to hide after assassinating Li Yuanhao, which was simply a way to kill himself. ”
Zhao Zhen's words broke the situation in Western Xia, and let everyone see the status quo clearly, the only beneficiaries after this assassination seem to be the two brothers and sisters who did not hide the false Pang and the black cloud, one of them became the empress dowager on the high, and the other became a powerful minister with great power.
The entire Western Xia has become a thing in their hands, and the Western Xia is no longer the Western Xia of the Tuoba family, but the Western Xia without a collector, so it is very likely that even this great rebellion between father and son was planned by him...... The biggest beneficiary is often the black hand behind the scenes, Zhao Zhen has already seen the suspicion from the intelligence of the Imperial City Division, and the entry of the Wuyi clan into the palace and the assassination of Ning Lingge are inseparable from the lack of concealment.
Obviously, Brother Ning Ling is a pawn that did not hide Pang, and the Wu Yi clan will also become a victim, because she also has Li Yuanhao's blood in her belly, and if she is born a boy, she will shake Li Liangzuo's throne, and this child will not be able to stay.
The quiet in the Wende Hall was abnormal, everyone was shocked by the scheming that did not hide the false Pang, a relative, a minister, actually has a big means of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, how can it make people shudder?
"Your Majesty, the top priority is to decide the movement of the army, according to Di Qing's report, my Great Song Dynasty plus the remnants of the army has reached 160,000, and the amount of money required increases dramatically every day, if you still wait and see what happens, the consumption will be even more amazing! Please make a decision as soon as possible! ”
As the third envoy, Bao Zheng opened his mouth to break the tranquility in the hall, and his words also brought everyone back to their senses, that's right, now is not the time to care about the situation of the Western Xia Dynasty, but how to do it will be the most beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao is dead, this is a major event that shakes the world, and he was once the British lord who founded the country and called the emperor, and this one thing alone gave him the glory of the history books.
Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng and said, "If Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu have been stationed in Xiping Mansion for a long time, how long can they hold out?" ”
Bao Zheng frowned and thought for a while: "If the state capitals are fully supplied, and the imperial court assists the state capital, it should be able to support some more time, but those state capitals occupied by my Great Song Dynasty still need the assistance of the imperial court, if they can be self-sufficient, I am afraid it will take time, at least until the beginning of spring next year!" ”
Zhao Zhen nodded: "So the imperial court not only has to bear the consumption of the army, but also the needs of those state capitals that belong to Wanghua?" ”
Bao Zheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" So I can't take out the extra money to supply the army, or...... Or let the army figure it out on their own! ”
Figure it out yourself? Everyone looked at Bao Zheng in surprise, what does this mean? Is it to plunder the cities of Western Xia with a large army? This is not like what Bao Zheng can say!
Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng with a smile and said, "Oh? You can tell me how to solve it, don't you let my Great Song army plunder the local people? ”
Bao Zheng bowed down and said: "The minister has no intention of doing this, the minister means to let Di Qing order the soldiers to use Tuntian for his own use!" If His Majesty intends to garrison troops in Western Xia for a long time, he should use this as a law, so that he can increase the rations of the soldiers, and when he comes, he can also open up the land and lay the foundation for the future migration of the people! ”
This is a method of using war to feed the war, using the manpower, material and financial resources obtained from the war to continue the war, and the consumption of the most national country will be greatly reduced, but the pressure on the soldiers will increase, after all, the garrison in Tuntian will give people a sense of being far away, and in this way, morale will be hit.
Zhao Zhen slowly sat down on the throne, obviously this is a small trouble, the reason why the Great Song army can maintain such a good fighting state now is not only because of the leading weapons and equipment, but also because of a triumphant mentality, they think that it is now less than a hundred miles away from the Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia, and they will make meritorious contributions and destroy this dynasty in the near future.
But once the army is stationed and begins to be self-sufficient, it will have a very big impact on morale, and the soldiers' longing for their hometown will reduce their spirit, and then they will have a lack of morale.
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and suddenly said: "It's not impossible to use Tuntian, but you can't use the soldiers, doing so will only increase the burden on their hearts and reduce their combat power, rather than this, it's better to move the people to Tuntian!" ”
This remark was full of shock, and Bao Zheng shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, you must not!" Although these state capitals have been taken by our Great Song Dynasty, it is still two days of war, how to move the people to open up the wasteland and resume production? If it is forcibly moved, it will cause resentment among the people! At that time, not only will Your Majesty's holy name be damaged, but the people will also be very likely to be restless! ”
"What if the people go by themselves without our persecution?"
Zhao Zhen's words made Bao Zheng stammer: "This ...... This...... How is that possible? There was a buzz of discussion in the courtroom.
Zhao Zhen smiled, how could it be impossible? The courage of the people of the Great Song Dynasty has been fed by themselves very much, before the migrating people from Tokyo City to Xijin Mansion, almost the first batch of people who followed their own people have accumulated thousands of savings, and as long as they are migrated, they will be taken care of by the imperial court, and at the same time they will quickly take root in Xijin Mansion and settle down, and they can earn a lot of money from the hands of dignitaries and nobles with a little use of their minds, and even the old woman who washes clothes is a monthly income of ten yuan, which is something that is unimaginable in Tokyo City!
The land of Xixia does not have to be poor in the Song Dynasty, the banks of the Yellow River are fertile for thousands of miles, and the fertile land is thousands of hectares. Cai Boyu said a few times with a shy face, Zhao Zhen didn't agree to let Cai Ji buy a large amount of land, now is a good time to sell it to the people!
These lands are for sale?!
When the courtiers knew Zhao Zhen's plan, they couldn't close their mouths in surprise, the wasteland after the war should have been reclaimed by the people, and the wasteland should be regarded as the people's own, how could the court sell these wastelands? They couldn't figure out what the officials were going to do......
