Chapter 260: The Battle of Song Liao (2)
If it was before, even if it was anyone else, the Empress Dowager Liu Mo, the Prime Minister Wang Yanqi, the privy envoy Wang Zeng, and even the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty in Bianjing City would definitely not be able to help but be shocked.
The 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao State went south, and even if there may be false reports, it will definitely not be less than 200,000.
And the false report aside, 300,000 soldiers and horses are enough to shake the whole world, and the two most powerful empires in the East will fight again, no matter who wins or loses, it will change the situation in the entire Eastern world.
The last time the two countries fought was twenty years ago, and it was the end of the Tanyuan Alliance.
Zhao Zhi also understands, but even if he doesn't understand it originally, this time he has the entire Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, and the fate of the entire Great Song Dynasty people, Zhao Zhi has to understand that he is really thinking of danger in peace.
He captured 100,000 iron horsemen of the Liao State, how could it be finished between Song and Liao?
Last time, it was the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State, and Yelu Longxu personally led the army deep into the Song Dynasty in the name of recovering Waqiao Pass.
Then Xiao Tzu Rin broke through Suicheng, and captured the Song general Wang Prophet, and then attacked Dingzhou, captured Wang Jizhong, the observer of Yunzhou of the Song Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty defended the city.
Since it shook the government and the opposition in Bianjing, Zhao Heng, the faint monarch, was afraid of the enemy and wanted to move the capital to the south, but it turned out that the former prime minister Kou Zhun asked Zhao Heng to recruit in person.
It is precisely because of this merit that Zhao Zhi has not moved Kou Zhun who once opposed Liu Mo, but he can be regarded as meritorious to the Great Song Dynasty. And even his own woman, the Queen Mother Liu Mo, that Kou Zhun is not an opponent, she was degraded by Liu Moth again and again, and almost to the end, but there is no need for him to bite and help again.
But it was a success to ask Zhao Heng to levy it in person, and he won, but he signed the humiliating Tanyuan Alliance, making Liao the upper kingdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and paying New Year's coins to Liao every year, but it was disgusting.
Therefore, although Kou Zhun has merit, he used to not only oppose Liu Mo, but look down on people from humble backgrounds, and hundreds of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty, which one is not a person from humble background?
looks down on people from humble backgrounds, but they look down on countless people in the Great Song Dynasty, and they don't treat the people at the bottom of the Great Song Dynasty as human beings.
And although the queen mother Liu Mo was born from a humble background, she was an orphan girl since she was a child, and she had to send people under the fence, and she became a singer, and if she could become the queen of the Great Song Dynasty, she could also represent countless low-level people in the Great Song Dynasty, although Liu Mo was originally of noble birth.
It is also the reason why the Queen Mother Liu Mo is easy to win the hearts of the people, because even if there are more nobles in the Great Song Dynasty, there are more people at the bottom, and the Queen Mother is an orphan girl and singer born under the fence, which can give hope to countless low-level people in the Great Song Dynasty.
Since the Queen Mother can soar into the sky one day, why can't she change her fate?
The Queen Mother Liu Mo can give hope to countless people in the Great Song Dynasty, just because of her humble background.
But Kou Zhun looked down on the lowly people, and signed a disgusting and shameful Tanyuan Alliance, so Zhao Zhizi had no good feelings.
And in today's Song-Liao relationship, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu can be said to have died in his own hands, and the 100,000 iron cavalry captives of the Liao State are still working in the Great Song Dynasty, but the Song-Liao War is inevitable.
Especially this year's heavy snow has made the Liao country even worse, and the same will make the situation worse for Wanyan Min in the northeast, and the Ba'er Jinjin tribe in the north, if the three forces do not pinch each other, I am afraid they will unite together to eat the fat sheep of the Great Song Dynasty.
But once Da Song was a fat sheep, and anyone who was hungry would come to take a bite, but this time Da Song is no longer something anyone can bully.
In the imperial study of Liu Mo's dormitory.
Zhao Zhi read the secret report, but he didn't panic at all, he might have been shocked and panicked, but he couldn't panic.
And in Liu Mo's pro-palace, it is obviously beyond the etiquette system, and it is still Liu Moth's phoenix seat. But if it's not in Liu Mo's dormitory, where else can you go? Can't go to the court? To the study in front of you? But they are all places that only the Queen Mother Liu Mo is qualified to go.
Zhao Zhi said casually while lifting the pen: "I just took a look, it snowed heavily outside overnight, and it seems that my Great Song Dynasty has also been affected."
The soldiers and horses of the Liao State are going south, it should also be because of this heavy snow, and the people who let the imperial city guard guard next time should also pay attention to the weather, such as such a heavy snow, it is possible to speculate that the next move of the Liao State will be the next move, and the soldiers and horses may go south to loot my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Guo Huai immediately saluted: "Yes, general, the old slave will arrange for them to go down." ”
Zhao Zhi didn't raise his head and continued: "My handwritten oracle can be used well, right?" Wang Zeng, will they listen to me? ”
Guo Huai hurriedly said excitedly: "General, there is no one in the court who doesn't understand the eyes now, especially in important positions, the general's edict is as easy to use as the queen mother's, and it is as easy to use as the emperor." ”
Zhao Zhi nodded: "That's good, it's not appropriate for me to call them directly, and I don't want to be so troublesome." I'll write a few edicts, and then you will show them to the king's men. ”
Guo Huai: "Yes, General. ”
Zhao Zhi: "Immediately let the privy envoy Wang Zeng prepare grain and grass, and let Wang Yanqi also help together, so as to prepare 500,000 soldiers and horses, and grain and grass for a winter." ”
500,000 soldiers and horses, Guo Huai couldn't help but be a veteran: "Yes, general." ”
Zhao Zhi: "Transfer Jingdong Road, Huainan Road, Jingxi Road, and Shaanxi Road, and the four-way forbidden army will immediately go north, and anyone who delays the military situation will be beheaded." ”
Zhao Zhi slashed lightly, and said while writing.
Guo Huai hurriedly arched his hand again and said, "Yes, General." ”
Invisibly, Zhao Zhi is already the most powerful person in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and even the most powerful person in the entire world.
On the side, Yin Yurou couldn't help but have beautiful eyes full of stars, but she had already seen the extraordinaryness of this man, otherwise she wouldn't even want a reputation in the first place, and she promised Zhao Zhi with a dead face.
Zhao Zhi: "Also, today, all the stoves will be distributed, and you must explain how to use them, and you must open the windows when you use them, otherwise you will die."
As for how to distribute it, let Bao Zheng be the master, the officials can distribute it, and the people can afford it, and the Great Song Dynasty has me in charge for one day, so I can't let the people of the Great Song Dynasty starve and suffer from cold. ”
Guo Huai directly said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, General." ”
Zhao Zhi: "Bring all the artillery, muskets, and explosives in the No. 1 Guardhouse, and all the firearms in the No. 1 Guardhouse will be produced overnight. Transfer 100,000 imperial city guards to go north with me, and the rest of the four forbidden troops and horses will meet me in Zhending Mansion. ”
Guo Huai's direct veteran couldn't help but tremble, this time he didn't dare to agree, Yin Yurou also hurriedly looked at Zhao Zhi anxiously.
Guo Huai's voice trembled slightly: "General, you want to recruit in person, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will not agree, and the Queen Mother will want it soon." ”
Zhao Zhi also sighed: "If I am one step late, I don't know how many people will be slaughtered in the Great Song Dynasty, and then the family will be ruined." Only if I go over in person can I make the entire Great Song Dynasty feel at ease and let the people of the Great Song Dynasty live a stable year.
And if I go, it can also give me confidence that the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty will win. As for Bianjing, I will hand it over to Guo Huai, as well as Bao Zheng and Li Si, and the three of you, everything is under the orders of the Queen Mother.
Okay, you immediately pass on my hand, without a moment's delay, the Imperial City Guard has to go with me today! ”
Saying that, Zhao Zhi had already written a few handwritten edicts, and then handed them to Guo Huai, but continued to write:
"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging.
Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test.
It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting.
There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists......"
