"Do you Aiqing have any good plan to destroy the thief?"

After Cai Jing and the others listened to Zhao Ji's words, they all looked at Tong Guan.

Seeing this, Tong Guan took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Jin army attacked Liaochunzhou, and the armies in the northeast of Liaodong collapsed without a fight. The four parts of the female ancient leather room and the Bohai people all descended to gold. Again trapped Liaotaizhou. Now that the Jin State is rising, it seems to have a tendency to compete with the Liao State. Emperor Liao Tianzuo from Yan to Yinliang River, eight battalions of the resentment army, and more than 28,000 people in the Qianxian battalion, Tunwei Prefecture Tribulus Mountain. The Liaojin War was about to break out. In addition, Western Xia hoarded 200,000 troops and placed them on the border. Now that the border situation is chaotic, I am afraid that it will be ...... to transfer the western army at this time Inappropriate. ”

This time Tong Guan is not an excuse, but the current international situation is really likely to change rapidly.

The rise of the Jin State was too rapid and too unexpected for everyone, and the result not only caught the Liao State by surprise, but also the Song State and the Western Xia State by surprise.

As soon as he heard that the international situation was so complicated, no one dared to raise the idea of the Western Army to suppress Tian Hu and Wang Qing.

Zhao Ji also knew that in this case, it was impossible to transfer the Western Army to suppress the bandits, so he shifted his gaze from Tong Guan to Gao Yu, and asked: "Can the forbidden army go to exterminate Tian Hu and Wang Qing?" ”

Gao Yu said: "This year's great drought, Jiang, Huai, Jing, Zhejiang, and Zizhou all have ambitious people taking the opportunity to gather their lives, fabricate fallacies, and incite foolish people, and the forbidden army is suppressing it everywhere. However, if Your Majesty asks the forbidden army to exterminate Natian Hu and Wang Qing, the forbidden army can squeeze out ...... 20,000 people went to kill Natian Hu and Wang Qing. ”

Seeing that Gao Yu made a big effort to hold back 20,000 people, Zhao Ji frowned!

Seeing Zhao Ji frowning, Cai You jumped out and said: "My Great Song Dynasty has 800,000 forbidden troops, but now when it is time to use it, only 20,000 are out, Gao Yu, you will repay Your Majesty's imperial favor like this?" ”

Gao Yu glanced at Cai You, and then said: "In the last years of Taizu Kaibao, the strength of the whole army was 378,000, including 193,000 in the forbidden army. In the fifth year of Qingli, the strength of the whole army was 1,259,000, including 826,000 in the forbidden army; A few years later, in the early years of the Emperor's reign, the total number of troops reached 1.41 million. Subsequently, after the reform and disarmament of Wang Xianggong, the total strength of the whole army was 800,000, including 600,000 forbidden troops and 200,000 box troops. In the fifth year of Chongning, the Privy Council listed that there was a shortage of 240,000 forbidden troops, 100,000 new recruits, and 140,000 were still missing. When he took over, he had told His Majesty that there were only 237,000 men left in the forbidden army......"

When Cai You heard that there were still 237,000 people, he immediately said: "There are 237,000 people in the forbidden army, and you only sent 20,000 people to suppress bandits for Your Majesty. ”

Gao Yu didn't look at Cai You, but bowed to Zhao Ji, and then said: "Your Majesty made a holy decree when he built Huayang Palace, and he ...... it."

"Ahem!"

Zhao Ji coughed lightly, and Gao Yu's words came to an abrupt end!

What do you say?

It turned out that when Zhao Ji built Wansui Mountain, his husband was not enough, so he gave Gao Yu a holy decree to let the forbidden army build Wansui Mountain.

Gao Yu listened to Zhao Ji's words, that is, "occupy more forbidden troops to fill up the service." Most of the recruits are skilled craftsmen...... Whatever is built by private houses, bricks, tiles, mud, and the like are all out of the barracks. ”

Later, Gao Yu intensified his efforts and pulled the field army to do the project, "The marshal ministers, the supervisors and the husbands, guards, generals, and deputies violated the law and played favoritism, so that the forbidden soldiers could learn the things of kit kat art." Or to embroider and serve, or to weave and work, or for jewelry to play, or for painting and writing, openly occupied, sit and exempt from teaching, the name of the army, and the ranks do not know, as a warrior, and the attack and defense are unpredictable. ”

In other words, the tiger and wolf of the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, which once swept away the Ten Kingdoms, was actually embroidery, silk weaving, jewelry, and painting for the leaders......

Gao Yu didn't hide these things from Zhao Ji, but asked for instructions to report.

Zhao Ji felt that the forbidden army had nothing to do anyway, so he agreed to Gao Yu's workaround, and secretly praised Gao Yu.

This matter can be said to be an open secret, and later the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Qinzong, admitted in the edict: "Now the three yas and the generals recruit troops...... When he arrived at the military gate, he only followed him and served his craft as a profession, and in each battalion, the variegated color accounted for three or four of the ten, and he did not return to teaching martial arts. ”

The main force of the country's Central Army, after recruiting soldiers, is not to train soldiers and practice martial arts, but to serve as bodyguards and learn crafts, and the proportion can account for 30 to 40 percent of the total, or is it a "secret" that even the emperor knows, how much more funny?

If that's all there is, it's nothing, after all, there's still 60 to 70 percent.

But the problem is that there is a huge lack of this - the sound of eating air.

According to Li Gang's reflection after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were often only places in the forbidden army of the Huizong Dynasty, but they preferred vacancies rather than replenish soldiers, and there were not even half of the people in the army.

Taken together, how many soldiers can there be in the so-called 800,000 forbidden army? How many people are available?

In addition, due to the six months of drought and no rain, the ordinary people who could not survive in various places took up arms and turned into bandits, and the forbidden army really had to send a large number of men and horses to suppress it everywhere, otherwise the world would be in chaos.

Therefore, Gao Yu was able to squeeze out 20,000 people for Zhao Ji, which is really a lot, and he really wanted to help Zhao Ji suppress the rebellion of Xia Tianhu and Wang Qing.

Zhao Ji, who also has some points for his own family background, vaguely knows that Gao Yu and the forbidden army may be unreliable.

This made Zhao Ji somewhat regret letting the forbidden army build the garden.

But the garden is related to the royal heirs, how can it not be repaired?

Otherwise, simply repair it, and don't collect strange flowers, stones, beautiful trees, rare birds and beasts?

Cannot.

This Gen Yue is the face of the royal family, how can it not be carefully decorated?

In a dilemma, Zhao Ji remembered that there was also the omnipotent Lin Lingsu Lin Immortal, so he turned his head to Lin Lingsu for advice: "Lin Immortal Chang has a way?" ”

Lin Lingsu gave a salute to Zhao Ji and said, "The grass and trees die in autumn, and the pines and cypresses are alone." This is a test of God to His Majesty, sincerity to the golden stone for the open, as long as Your Majesty pious chanting sutras to make merits, everything will be solved. ”

Zhao Ji suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that this is a test of heaven for me, and I should be pious!" ”

Gao Yu's eyes moved slightly, and then glanced at Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng nodded slightly.

Gao Yu secretly gritted his teeth, then took a step forward, and then bowed to the ground, and said, "Ask the official to punish him!" ”

Zhao Ji was puzzled: "Why did Aiqing ask for guilt?" ”

Gao Yu said: "The ministers and the people are unknown, that Hu Yanzhuo has failed the grace of the saint to live up to the trust of the ministers, and he was defeated by Li Yan, the grass coward of Liangshan, and then the whole army was annihilated, then Li Yan took the opportunity to capture the three mansions of Jeju Mansion, Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion, killed six or seven out of ten officials of the three mansions, and looted the three mansions, the ministers are guilty, ask Your Majesty to punish them!" ”
