Speaking of the question of why there are no fields on Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road, we must start with the failure of Zhao Guangyi's Second Northern Expedition of Song Taizong.

Li Gang had a headache when he thought about this.

Song Taizong is the great-grandfather of the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that the Great Song Dynasty, which pays great attention to the law of the ancestors, cannot violate the various policies of Song Taizong.

But in Li Gang's view, Song Taizong's Hebei defense was too child's play.

In dealing with the relationship with the Liao State, Emperor Taizong first shifted from "preparing for the border to pass well" to "drawing the Khitan", then from "drawing the Khitan" to "Lianyi attacking Liao", and finally from "Lianyi attacking Liao" to "cultivating virtue to Huaiyuan".

As soon as Xiude came out with Huaiyuan's slogan, the entire Great Song Dynasty completely lost the confidence to plot against Yanyun.

Even the emperor has lost his fighting spirit and expects his men to work desperately?

Han Gaozu Liu Bang's siege of Baishan Mountain, is it a shame? It was a great shame, not to mention marrying the princess of the clan to the Huns, and giving a large amount of cotton wool, silk, grain and wine as a bargaining chip to appease the Huns.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty avenged his ancestors, and for sixty years of hard work, the provincial team of relatives every year had to work hard to detect the enemy, draw maps, and understand the habits of the Huns, and then the famous generals continued to appear, and the Huns were almost wiped out by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Then Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty made the name of the Xiongnu disappear in the long river of history.

When Li Shimin was blocked at the gate of the capital by Jieli, was he ashamed? It's a great shame. But Li Shimin directly wiped out the Turks. It also made the name of the Turks disappear.

Song Taizong's double-strand arrow, is it a shame? It would be quite a shame to come home in a big defeat.

Then Song Taizong decided to dig the entire east and west roads of Hebei into ponds and swamps, intending to stop the galloping horses of the Jin cavalry.

From the ancestral law of Zhongyu, passive defense, and Gou An, until the current cultivated land on the two roads in Hebei, no one knows how much.

The defense system based on ponds, swamps, depressions, and oceanic lakes has been verified by facts, and it is like child's play.

After all, as soon as winter arrives, it freezes...... How else to stop the cavalry of the Jin people from going south?

When Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, he gave considerable autonomy to the generals of the northern land, and those whose clan was in Beijing were very generous, and every time they were summoned, they would sit and eat on each other, and then give money and silk to return to the station.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, also once said, "The border ministers are rich and noble, can raise dead soldiers, think they are spies, know the enemy's situation, and their invasion, set up ambushes and cover attacks, and cause many victories, and there will be no trouble in the north for 20 years." ”

By the time of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, with the strategic thinking of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, they each protected the city and were not allowed to go out of the city to fight, and they were forced to rely on the city to defend and not take the initiative to attack.

This kind of strategic guiding ideology, which does not allow people to go out of the city to fight, directly leads to the east and west roads of Hebei, and only the city can be defended.

But the people outside the city had nowhere to hide, and the soldiers in the city did not arrive, so they could only let the Liao people plunder.

It is even more difficult for the people to live in the east and west roads of Hebei, there are military disasters, there are man-made disasters, and there is no land to plant.

The people of Hebei who gradually fled from the east and west roads directly turned Hebei into a red land.

Not only that, this passive defensive mentality of not allowing people to go out of the city to fight directly led to the Liao people adopting the strategy of bypassing the fortified city, ignoring it, and driving straight into the city, and wantonly plundered the hinterland of the Song people.

Wang Chong led 200,000 soldiers and horses, and watched Emperor Zhenzong and Emperor Liao Shengzong fight in full swing, and there was a legal basis for not moving, that is, the strategic guiding ideology from Song Taizong - not to go out of the city at will to face the battle.

This kind of guiding ideology has turned the two roads in Hebei into a red land with no people, no arable land, and only Yangdian.

The most important part of Li Gang's recital is to fill in the puddles on the east and west roads of Hebei, raise the land in the first year, and carry out the equalization of fields in the second year.

But Li Gang knew that it was too difficult.

For more than 130 years, the Great Song Dynasty dug pits in Hebei, and in the end, only the Great Song Dynasty itself was killed.

How to fill this hole? It was Li Gang's big trouble, but he had no clue, and when he was supervising the repair of the Yellow River embankment and repairing it to the Daimyo's mansion, he stopped and moved to Hedong Road.

It's not that there is a problem with food or money, but that there is no need to repair any further.

This pit. Li Gang scratched his head.

Cheng Chu is also scratching his head, Da Song Chazi is very capable, there is no doubt about it.

But if you want to know how many fields there are on the east and west roads of Hebei and how many people can be accommodated, this is undoubtedly embarrassing the Imperial City Division.

Chazi is also a man, not a god.

Zhao Huan's reply is very simple, it is necessary to clarify the fields on the east and west roads of Hebei in the next year, and overcome difficulties if there are difficulties.

Li Gang was also helpless, and waved his hand to let Cheng Chu lead Chazi to do it.

The official family led 100,000 elite family troops and 70,000 disobedient Jiesheng troops, and drove away all the Jin people.

"Get over it." Li Gang asked Cheng Chu to prepare to check the fields on Hebei East Road and West Road, and he himself was also busy.

Rebuild the ordnance prison of Bianjing City, but this time, Li Gang decided to build it outside the city.

This was instructed by the officials.

As for the purpose, the purpose is to allow the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor to prepare for the siege of the city and reduce contact with the people in the city.

Prevent leaks.

With the deepening of mechanical principles, more and more military weapons are used in actual combat, especially giant trebuchets, which are all secrets of secrets.

This is all a lesson learned before.

As for security, a military fort will be built around it to serve as a horn to defend Bianjing. In case the Jin soldiers come again, they can only retreat in the city, which is too aggrieved.

New officials are promoted, and some generals have been promoted to positions such as partial generals, so naturally the chief officers of the military category will be arranged for these generals.

The pattern of civil servants in charge has quietly changed.

Li Gang clearly realized that the Great Song Dynasty would usher in a new pattern.

And some people don't have this clear understanding, such as Zhao Ji.

He heard a little about what his eldest son was doing on Hedong Road, so he indulged in the beautiful sound of the piano and flute, and couldn't extricate himself.

When he received Li Gang's letter, he first asked Tong Guan to open it and read it, and after laughing at the sky, he suddenly asked, "Do you know Li Gang?" What for? ”

Tong Guan was silent for a long time and said: "Li Gang is now Dazai, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and now an official...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when he was not in the capital, Li Gang was in charge of the court. The emperor's grandson is still young and unable to govern, the crown princess went north to ask for guilt, the entire Great Song Dynasty, and now Li Gang has the final say. ”

"It's me! It's me who has the final say! He Zhao Huan! Zhao Huan is a yellow-mouthed child! He didn't even count! Li Gang is his dog's leg, can he have the final say? Yes?! It's me who has the final say! Do you know? Zhao Ji shouted angrily. Like madness.

Tong Guan shook his head, the Emperor Taishang already knew his authority completely, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back, so he looked like this.

Especially recently, the Cui family in Huaibei and the Chen family in Huainan have made a lot of effort to raise grain in order to compete for the grain business thrown out by the official family.

The grain has been received in Lin'an City. Zhao Ji was angry but helpless.

Because Zhao Huan returned victorious, his prestige reached a kind of peak, and now no one can disobey Zhao Huan's orders.

Not even the Emperor Taishang.

Of course, this is not a reason for Emperor Tai's anger, Tong Guan clearly knows why Zhao Ji is so angry with Li Gang.

Zhao Ji has been in power for 26 years, and has been working with several big generals to check and balance, but there is no progress, and as a result, not long after Li Gang became the prime minister, he cleaned up these big generals.

There is only one person left in each family, waiting for Zhao Huan to return to Beijing for a verdict.

With such a fierce ability, who can stand this?

Zhao Ji is very uncomfortable, that is to say, he has been the emperor for twenty-six years, and it is not as good as this Li Gang to be the prime minister for a month.

Lao Tzu can't compare to his son, this is normal, Zhao Ji lost to the new emperor in terms of courage, military affairs, and government affairs.

But he lost to Renchen, which made Zhao Ji angry.

Obviously, this is not how strong Li Gang or Zhao Huan is, but that he, Zhao Ji, the emperor, is really bad.

Now Zhao Ji's only pride is calligraphy.
