Chapter 978 Military

Su You immediately said: "If Your Majesty wants to use it, you must first try the border counties of Xiaozhou, and then promote them according to their political achievements." ”

"Such as Lu Huiqing and Li Ding's path, my Su family will not take it."

Zhao Ji felt strange: "Don't you often say that heaven is reasonable and human? deliberately suppressed the career of his relatives, but he also lost his favor. ”

Su You said with a smile: "Your Majesty misunderstood me, although Ziyou learned a lot of skills from the three elders, but after all, he has not personally tempered his practice, and it is important to have a familiar process." ”

"That is not only responsible for the country, responsible for Your Majesty, but also responsible for yourself and your family."

"In the same way, when a minister recommends suitable talents to His Majesty, he also needs to put them in the right position, and His Majesty will carefully examine whether he can decide whether to put them in a more critical position, which is also responsible for the country."

Zhao Ji is not stupid: "Mingrun, this is what he said?" ”

Su You washed the tea and watched the dry green tea leaves gradually unfold in the glass bowl: "Just like making tea, being an official also needs heat." ”

"Even if it's a talent, you have to take it step by step. Your Majesty, the next rule to be on the minister is military, and one of them is to choose a commander and a general. ”

"Regarding Xu Xi's appointment, the minister really doesn't agree with it, and he doesn't agree with his words about Xixia Yihe."

"If he is in front of the minister, then the minister will ask him, how did he come to this conclusion?"

"How much does he know about the national conditions and people's feelings in Western Xia? How many horses, grain, cattle and sheep, and steel were produced in Western Xia in a year? How is the population composed? How many standing soldiers are there on weekdays? How is the equipment? How much can be mobilized in extreme cases? How is the equipment? ”

"Do you know how maneuverable the Tangut are? How many capable generals have been there lately? Which armies are strong, and which ones are weak? What is the personality of the general? What is the relationship between the generals? ”

"If we were to go to war with Western Xia, what would be our intended purpose? What do you need to do to get there? How much grain and grass do you need? How much armament do you need? How many fighters will have to be mobilized to reach the goal? ”

"Was there a military rehearsal? Has the combat effectiveness, mobility, logistical capabilities of our army been confirmed? ”

"How long can we sustain the war? How many people can you deal with? What forces did Western Xia have that we could co-opt? ”

"What is the geography of the day? What is the back-to-back of people's hearts? What is the situation near the war zone, water sources, rivers, vegetation and trees? ”

"Will it be ambushed, attacked by water, attacked by fire?"

"And most importantly, after the occupation of Western Xia, what is the follow-up plan? What kind of governance should be chosen, and what are the requirements for those officials to be assigned? These things, have they been discussed? ”

"The battle of Jiaozhi has become hasty, so the minister can only face it urgently."

"But even then, it's a matter of planning and then acting, looking for problems that may arise in the battle situation for prevention."

"Guo Kui, under the appointment of His Majesty, went to Jiaozhi from Shaanxi to conquer, first the soldiers were not adapted, and then ignored Li Changjie's military strategy, and the most important thing is to completely misestimate the ability of the Jiaozhi naval army."

"If our naval division does not have the new-style naval division of the Ning Navy, the battle situation will evolve into the Fujian and Guangdong naval divisions being annihilated by the Jiaozhi people, Guo Kui will not be able to cross the river, and will even be cut off from the way back!"

"Therefore, in that battle, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty won very lucky, and the reason for the victory was simply because the enemy made a bigger mistake than us, and they didn't know the huge power of my Great Song New Water Division."

"So in that battle, it was not that we won, but that they lost."

This is a very strange thing to say, but Zhao Ji understands it, if it weren't for Su You's reinforcements with the rebuilt Ning Navy, it is really difficult to say.

"It would have been much better to take over the city later." I heard Su You continue: "In the minister's heart, it was a silent battle; And the minister thinks that it can barely be regarded as a real victory. ”

Zhao Ji also had to be convinced, Zhancheng was too beautiful, and it was precisely because Zhancheng was too "easy" that he was ambitious again, and he felt that it would not be a matter of winning Western Xia in three or five years.

Why did Gao Zunyu stay in Hehuang? The reason is very simple, he is Zhao Ji's uncle.

Zhao Ji wanted his uncle to be his helper, and he had to balance his uncle Cao Yan, so he had to let Gao Zunyu make meritorious contributions.

Zhao Ji's wishful thinking played very well, and his uncle first established a preliminary battle in Hehuang, so that he almost rose to the Jiedu Envoy, and then made great contributions as the main force in the pacification of the Western Xia, and became the uncle of the Jiedu Envoy Pingzhongshu under the Pingzhang Shi, which is the folk call "Minister".

Then Zhao Ji can give his mother's family a big reward, and at the same time follow the practice of the ancestors to release the military power with a cup of wine, so that his uncle can "go home and enjoy the blessings", and be honored behind the scenes, weakening the control of the queen mother's family in the court, and at the same time allowing the Gao family's status to be strengthened again, at least for another hundred years.

The abacus was played beautifully, but there was only one question - I didn't ask the Tangut people whether they would agree.

And what Su You is most worried about is precisely this.

Gao Zunyu is also a military general, good at words, and knows martial arts. First of all, when Zhenzong was the deputy envoy of the reserve treasury with his father. During the reign of Yingzong, he served as the supervisor of the Zhenrong Army. Zhao Xuan ascended the throne and promoted the security army with his good negotiations with the Xia people.

Later, he served as the deputy envoy of Qin Fenglu along the border to pacify, and knew the military of the Yuanyuan Army. In the second year of Xining, he was promoted to introduce deputy envoys and bring imperial equipment. In that year, the Western Xia army was broken in the savage pass, according to Wusheng City. Because of the meritorious edict, he knew the military of the Zhentao army, entered the west and closed the door, and the history of the Rongzhou assassination, and served as the general manager.

Later, when Wang Shao attacked Hehuang, he regained knowledge of the Tongyuan army and added the history of the Min army.

Judging from his resume, he was flawless, and with thousands of troops in Minzhou, he encircled 300,000 troops below the blind felt, which effectively guaranteed Wang Shao's rear.

It can be said that the Great Song Dynasty harvested the river, and Gao Zunyu's credit accounted for at least half.

It didn't take a single soldier to get hundreds of thousands of people in the northwest of Minzhou, although it was mainly scared out of Wang Shao's strength and victory, and it was a free ride, but only in terms of results, it was really not less than Wang Shao's Fan.

Moreover, the blind felt was quite loyal, and the rule of the Great Song Dynasty in Minzhou was quite stable.

That's necessary, because the profits of the wool business have turned the previous sheep into the value of three sheep, which is equivalent to the per capita income of the Minzhou Fan people after returning to the Song Dynasty, which is inexplicably suddenly twice as much.

Although this is actually mainly brought about by Su You's invention and creation, Uncle Gao Guo is the chosen one, and his luck is so good, he can take a ride all the way!

Isn't it the chosen one, the one chosen by the Son of Heaven.

Su You's credit is so much that he can't give it away, and someone comes to share the credit for himself, which is unbelievable.

Thinking of this, Su You felt that he had added a code to Zhao Ji: "The minister is in the South China Sea, I don't know the situation in the west, and I don't know how the new army in Bianjing is training." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be very proud: "Now that the Fourth Army has been prepared, the number of people has reached 50,000, the Beijing division is already solid, and the burden of the Xiang army has also gone by half." ”

"Such a big thing was done quietly, Mingrun, you said that Su Ziyou is a person who does not want people to know, I think you are! You are the first to reduce the burden of national redundancy! ”

Su You arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this is serious, the production of firearms is the inevitable result of the development of science and technology; After its creation, there will naturally be a supporting military system that adapts to it; These are all things that should happen naturally, and the credit cannot be counted on the minister. ”

"But now that the capital division is safe, shouldn't the army over there also be equipped?"

Zhao Ji was a little happy: "You don't have to hide it from the Western Xia and the Liao people anymore?" ”

Su You's style of doing things makes the well-known Zhao Ji a little embarrassed, Su You's favorite thing to do is to do things like dogs, the best thing is done, others don't know who did it, it seems that this is the coolest, it's just a pervert.

And what Zhao Ji likes is to show off, and he thinks that he can make all countries cry and shout that I want me, and then give it if he is in a good mood, and if he is in a bad mood, he will not give it, which is the demeanor of a great country.

Similarly, Su You thinks that this is called "the dog's stomach can't hide two taels of sesame oil", which is a perversion. Back then, he showed the power of the crane shin crossbow in front of the Liao envoys, but after he developed the wheel gun in private, otherwise, he would even have to hide the crane shin crossbow.

Therefore, in the matter of firearms, Zhao Ji has endured it for too long.
