Su Chi, the Privy Councillor, has not yet returned, so today, the Xifu is headed by Tong Guan, the highest official in the three Privy Councils, to participate in the assembly of the East and West Mansions.

After the routine routine of living was canceled on the grounds that the official family often felt the wind and cold (Zhao Ji is now almost every day, so it is a constant feeling), the two government governors gathered in the political hall to discuss the government.

"The dignified Great Liao Kingdom is over like this. Zhaoyi Han Qifu's recital and Hedong Xiaogan's descending table, have you all seen it? ”

Cai Jinggao sat in the middle hall and held the recital of Han Xiaoxuan, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, and the surrender table of Xiao Gan, the sixth king of the Liao State Xi who was sent with this recital.

He sighed: "The Xijing Datong Mansion of the Liao State was occupied by the Jin soldiers, and their Xijing stayed behind Yeluchun and disappeared, and the Empress Dowager Xiao kept Emperor Tianxiong far away in Dading Mansion. Xiao Gan, who retreated to Hedong, and the soldiers and civilians of the Liao State had no way to live, and they were destitute. I wonder what you think? ”

Tong Guan had been leading the troops in Shuofang for a long time, and was transferred back to Kaifeng Mansion not long ago to serve as a member of the Privy Council. He knew the situation in Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom very well, so he immediately took over the topic and said: "Xiao Gan has some ability, but he is the king of the Xi Department, and the people are all in the Dading Mansion, so it is inevitable that he will be alone." Let's better grant high-ranking officials Houlu on the one hand, and send elite soldiers to enter Hedong in the name of aiding Xiao to disarm Xiao. The mountains and rivers in the east of the river are firmly in control. ”

At present, the new army of the Great Song Dynasty still has a certain combat effectiveness, Shuofang, Shaanxi, and Lingzhou have a large number of soldiers and knights who have given fields, and although the new army on the East Road does not have so many high-quality landlords and rich peasant soldiers, their officers are of reliable quality. As long as the imperial court is willing to delegate a little power and let the officers at the battalion level take care of the recruitment, there will be a total of 18 new army officers in one battalion, and 1,800 new army officers will be able to govern 100 battalions, and there will be 80,000 strong soldiers in more than a year.

In addition, the Zhaoyi Army made Han Xiaoxuan also loyal to the imperial court. He had tens of thousands of regimental training soldiers under him, and he was also an imitator of the Zhou army.

Not only selected young talents in the army to study in the martial arts palace of Kaifeng Mansion, but also trained to become the backbone of the army. In addition, the military service system was implemented in Zhendingfu and Dingzhou, which had been ravaged by Yelu Yanxi, and most of the wealthy landlords in these lands fled to Kaifeng Prefecture or Tianjin, and a large number of unregistered lands were "discovered". Han Xiaoxuan turned all these lands into the official property of the Zhaoyi Army, and then distributed them to the soldiers in the regimental training army in lieu of military salaries.

So after a few years of development, the Zhaoyi Army, which was originally in danger, actually had a little sign of becoming a strong town. Became a strong soldier of Gongwei Kaifeng Mansion!

It is also worth mentioning that because many Lingzhou knights defected to Han Xiaoxuan after Gao Yu's defeat and death, the cavalry of the Zhaoyi Army also went up to the next level. Now it is also possible to pull out two Zhou-style cavalry battalions.

In addition to vigorously reorganizing the armament for warfare, the Zhaoyi Army has also been working hard to develop industry and commerce in recent years.

Alas, all forced!

The Zhaoyi army has a strong enemy outside, no fertile soil inside, and the imperial court behind it is unwilling to fully support it, so it is natural to do everything possible to alleviate the financial difficulties. In the jurisdiction of the Zhaoyi Army, there were two major porcelain producing areas at this time, namely the Ding kiln and the magnetic kiln.

So the porcelain industry has become the lifeblood of the Zhaoyi Army, in order to retain the porcelain kiln owners and craftsmen in Dingzhou and Cizhou (Wu Haogu opened the Luanzhou kiln on the basis of integrating the porcelain industry of Liao, and also tried to dig the corner of the two kilns in Dingzhou and Ci), the Zhaoyi Army gave various means of support. Don't you dare to slaughter people as fat pigs...... Otherwise, everyone would have gone to Luanzhou to start a business, and the Zhaoyi Army would have gone bankrupt.

With the support of the Zhaoyi Army, there are now many large commercial kilns in Quyang and Cizhou Guantai in Dingzhou, employing tens of thousands of craftsmen and producing countless porcelain annually. On the Tang River (which flows into the north-flowing Yellow River through the Hutuo River) and the Zhangshui River, three seasons a year (the water is shallow and frozen in winter, and it is impossible to sail ships), you can see the ships transporting porcelain sailing to Tianjin.

Due to the great development of the porcelain industry in Quyang and Cizhou, the finances of the Zhaoyi Army have become increasingly rich. There is also money to buy armaments and further strengthen the military.

In addition, there is a Fulin Road between Shuofang and Hedong Prefecture, which was occupied by the Liao. Originally, it was a semi-autonomous territory controlled by the Zhejia in Fuzhou, but after the invasion of the Liao, the power territory of the Zhejia family increased. The Volcano Army, the Baode Army, and the Caulan Army have been added to the territory. The authority has reached the point of complete autonomy and self-contained.

In the past few years of the struggle against the Liao, the strength of the Fulin army has also been tempered. Absorbed a lot of warriors from the occupied areas, as if they had become elites.

So now there are Shuofang, Shaanxi, Lingzhou, and Fulin armies on the west road of the Song Dynasty, and there are Zhaoyi and the martial arts palace directly under the imperial court on the east road.

Cai Jing also knew the importance of the mountains and rivers in Hedong, but he also had to guard against Su Chi and Tong Guan of the "New Party" from taking advantage of the opportunity of using troops in Hedong.

Now that the "New Party" has gained the power to preside over the Jiaozhi war, if it uses military means to get Hedong, and the two major merits are combined, Su Chi should bow to the right minister.

He glanced at Tong Guan, and then turned to the current right minister He Zhizhong: "Botong, now that the Liao State has collapsed, the overall situation of the world has changed drastically. Daofu thinks that the imperial court should take the opportunity to enter the east of the river, I don't know what you think? ”

"Taishi," He Zhizhong pondered, "I don't know whose hands the Zhongjing Dao of the Liao State and the Empress Dowager Xiao will fall into in the end?" ”

"Most of it is to let Zhou Guo get cheap." Tong Guan pondered, "The Zhou State has obtained the Fengsheng Prefecture of Zhongjing Dao and perhaps most of Xijing Dao, as well as the grassland south of the Huanghe River in Shangjing Dao, and the land has suddenly doubled. And there are many herders and grasslands...... The foundation of the founding of the country is getting stronger and stronger!

If the imperial court cannot speed up the reorganization and expansion of the new army, once a war with the Zhou State starts in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Tong Guan came up with the "Zhou State Threat Theory". I want to use this as a basis for expanding the new army and strengthening the strength of the new party.

"Not necessarily."

He Zhizhong shook his head and said, "Wu Haogu got the Empress Dowager Xiao and Zhongjing Dao, so it was inevitable that he would be involved in the grassland battle.

And after Ah Guda and Menggu and Divination Alliance, after attacking the Xijing Road of the Liao State, he seemed to be the leader of the Northern Alliance. Therefore, Zhou and Jin will definitely have a dragon and tiger fight in the future!

And the imperial court, just to take advantage of this, do not let the two kingdoms of Zhou and Jin decide the winner. As long as Zhou and Jin fight each other, the imperial court can live in peace, and it doesn't matter whether they control Taiyuan or not. In case the matter of entering Taiyuan is too hasty, Xiao Gan will be forced to the side of Jin or Zhou. The imperial court will inevitably be passive. When the time comes, the imperial court will either cut gold or attack Zhou. In this way, the two kingdoms of Zhou and Jin will decide the superior, and then the Central Plains will be in trouble. ”

He Zhizhong's proposition was the view of the "old party", which believed that military efforts could not change the weakness of the Song dynasty. Therefore, the best choice should be to maintain the situation of the "three countries". Now that the Liao State has collapsed and the Jin State has risen, it is better to take "Jin, Zhou, and Song" as the three kingdoms. Keep messing around!

And sending troops to Taiyuan is likely to cause Xiao Gan to invest in Jin or Zhou, so that the Song State will have to go to war with Jin or Zhou.

The status quo of the three kingdoms will be completely broken.

Tong Guan shook his head, took a step back, and said, "The imperial court's army marching into Taiyuan is not equivalent to starting a war with Xiao Gan...... Xiao Gan can still be his and the road appeaser. You can follow the example of Fuzhou, and Xiao Jiayong Town will act as a state, Xinzhou, Xianzhou, and Ninghua army.

As for Taiyuan, Pingdingjun, Fenzhou and Liaozhou, another Taiyuan Fu Road can be formed. A new army from the imperial court was stationed. ”

That's a pretty bad idea!

Either take Xiao Gan, anyway, the Song Dynasty now has such strength. Then divide the land east of the river well, so that the heroes and soldiers can have some benefits. The elite soldiers in Hedong were also raised.

Either simply hand over Taiyuan to Xiao Gan, and at the same time reward Ninghua Army, Xianzhou and Lanzhou to Fulin Army. In this way, Xiao Gan is satisfied, and Fu Linjun is also satisfied. You can rely on them as a meat shield in the future.

However, Tong Guan took a compromise method, took back Taiyuan and Pingding, and then lost the remaining Liao territory to Xiao Gan, and did not compensate the Fulin army for several years of hard fighting...... Many of the soldiers in the Fulin army were powerful in the Daizhou, Xinzhou, Ninghua and Xianzhou areas. Being made by Tong Guan like this, they can't go back to their hometown, and they can't get compensation, so they are naturally dissatisfied with the court.

And Xiao Gan, who lost Taiyuan and was driven to Daizhou, Xinzhou, Xianzhou and Ninghua Army, and his followers (mainly Liao), naturally would not be satisfied.

However, Tong Guan also has his plans, he wants to use the land of Taiyuan Mansion for distribution and set up soldiers to grant Tianfu. The fields and pastures of Taiyuan Prefecture and the Pingding Army are about 3 million mu. A little less can arrange 16,000 infantry, almost 20 battalions. In this way, the Hedong Army could be rebuilt.

"Okay, let's do it!" Cai Jing is also quite satisfied with this method, because many wealthy families in Hedong are now living in Kaifeng and Luoyang, looking forward to recovering their hometown all day long, which poses a lot of pressure on Cai Jing.

If Taiyuan can be recovered, their property can be returned, and these people will not shout and kill all day long to cheer for Su Chi's "New Party......

The two governments finally reached a consensus, and Cai Jing was about to discuss the next topic when the head of a Privy Council Guangxi room suddenly rushed in outside the door. After entering the door, he saluted, and ran to Tong Guan's side, muttering for a while. Tong Da's face suddenly turned to the side, and he scolded in a low voice: "What a bastard!" ”

"Michio, what's wrong?" Cai Jing asked.

"Jiaozhi country enters Kouyong Prefecture!" Tong Guantie said with a blushing face, "Defeated Pingxiangsi, Xiashi Xizhou, and Shangshi Xizhou!" ”

"It's all Ji Yizhi who is in trouble!" Cai Jing blurted out, "Now the things in the north are gone, and the south is troubled again!" What should I do? ”

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it!" Tong Guan said, "Now Zhang Yongxi and Yang Kebi have taken people to Qinzhou...... There are also troops in the port control division of the sea route city at Anbangkou on the coast of Jiaozhi. Don't be afraid of anything! ”
