Chapter 1314: The Death of Akuta III
The escape of the Dajin Kingdom has now become a means to blackmail the Great Song Dynasty......
There is no mistake, now the faint monarch and traitor of the Great Song Dynasty are not afraid of the Jin State attacking at all, but are afraid that the Jin State will escape.
Attack what...... In the past six years, Ji Da has trained into a new army of the 325th battalion! The tactics of this group of new troops were all copied from the Zhou state, and they used artillery, spears, crossbows, and cavalry to fight together. And he is also particularly good at repairing hard villages and digging trenches.
Fighting a sports war on the grassland may not be as good as the Jurchen, and it is not a shame to fight a positional war in an open position.
No matter how powerful the birth girl really dares to reach, won't she pounce when she encounters the bleak camel city?
After referring to the "camel city tactic", the generals of the new army of the Song army invented a "car fort tactic". It was a makeshift fortress with reinforced four-wheeled carriages linked end to end, and then defended by light artillery and crossbowmen.
This tactic can effectively resist the cavalry onslaught of the Jin army! It can also boost the courage of the Song army, whose morale is generally not high, which is indeed very powerful.
However, even with the "Chebao Tactics", the traitorous ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were still very afraid of the Zhou State.
The current rise of Eastern Liao is not the credit of the military intelligence of the Zhou State? If they can help the Eastern Liao rise, there must be a way to crack the camel city tactics, so that they can also defeat the Chebao of the new army of the Song State......
And Ji Da Treacherous is very clear that the new deal led by himself is not a success! Although the new army has trained a lot, and the feudal country has also built a few, the depression caused by the money-led crisis seems to be over.
However, the economy of most of the Great Song Dynasty outside the more than a dozen states on the southeast coast is still withering!
This is due to the way Ji Yi overcame the crisis – Ji Yi's approach was financial reform, not social reform. And the beneficiaries of the financial reform are precisely the industry and commerce of more than a dozen states on the southeast coast that caused the social crisis of the Great Song Dynasty!
Because of the emergence of the Great Song Bank and bank bills, it provided a large amount of cheap capital for industry and commerce on the southeast coast. This allowed the industry and commerce of the southeast coast to invest more money in handicrafts and overseas trade.
At the same time, the small quality banks, small solution banks, and longevity banks that existed in more than 300 states of the Great Song Dynasty could not obtain cheap funds through the issuance of bank bills. It is also not impossible to attract capital to the southeast coast. As a result, it will be difficult to recover from the money-induced crisis.
Therefore, the more than 300 states of the Great Song Dynasty have not come out of the money crisis, and are still facing problems such as shortage of funds and high prices of funds.
As a result, it was difficult for the peasants who were also engaged in handicrafts to obtain cheap capital, and it was even more difficult for them to compete with the handicrafts in the more than a dozen coastal states.
As cheap and high-quality products continue to hit the mainland market, homespun cloth, well salt and low-quality earth iron continue to lose market.
The land became the only hope for the peasants!
And this only hope is being lost little by little because of the wind of land annexation.
According to the retro party, because the new deal only focuses on the surface and ignores the fundamentals, the more than 300 states in the Great Song Dynasty are now about to change the people!
The people's uprising is imminent, and it should be plundered by business!
However, the traitors of the ruling discipline party reformers represented the interests of capital in the southeast coast - they were unwilling to increase commercial taxes by a large margin, let alone launch a land seizure and land clearance campaign on the southeast coast. He was not even willing to embezzle the gold, silver and copper coins in the Great Song Bank to make up for the financial deficit, and only knew how to collect summer money and issue additional bonds...... It has caused public resentment to boil and debts to rise.
In this case, the new army of the 325th battalion is actually a tool of internal suppression by the traitors of the discipline party, and it cannot be used in a fierce foreign war at all.
If the external war is unfavorable, the internal changes will be raging!
However, whether to fight or not to fight, whether to fight or not, whether to benefit or disadvantage, is not something that Ji Da traitor can decide.
Now the national defense of the Great Song Dynasty is based on the United Gold System Week! If the Jin Kingdom moves westward, then the Eastern Liao supported by the Great Zhou will become the lord of the grassland!
And with Empress Dowager Xiao here, Wu Haogu didn't have to worry about the Eastern Liao on the grassland dragging the Great Zhou back.
At that time, the Great Zhou Republic will be able to go south with all its strength and sweep the Central Plains......
"Dazai, you can't let Jin Guo go......"
In the political affairs hall, Zhang Shuye, a member of the Privy Council, shook his head and said to the traitor who had become Dazai (Prime Minister).
"Ji Zhong, what do you say to do?" Ji Yi spread his hands, "War with Zhou State?" How sure is the new army? ”
"No, not sure!" Tong Guan, a member of the Privy Council, immediately took over the topic, "The 325th Battalion on land can still fight, but what about the sea?" There are 54 cannons on the 'Beiyang'-class battleships! And they are all heavy guns of more than 15 pounds. Our galleys and sailboats have nothing to fight at all, and if we lose the naval battle, how can we defend the coastal ports? The 325 battalion soldiers have been dismantled to defend Haikou, how many of them can be used for land warfare? ”
If the Song Dynasty could still copy the military system and tactics of the Zhou State on land and form its own new army, then at sea, it was difficult to even copy it.
Because the capital of the Zhou State was in Tianjin, and the land was surrounded by the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea (Yellow Sea), the terrain was a bit like the Roman Empire in history, and it was a country that could only be maintained by sea. Moreover, the Zhou State did not have any land endowment, and the land of the Zhou State was mainly used to maintain military citizens. Revenues depended on industry and commerce and overseas trade. In a way, Zhou was a half-ocean, half-land country.
Although the Great Song Dynasty was going to run a navy, it was basically a land country. The importance of the two to the Navy cannot be compared!
Moreover, Tianjin's shipbuilding industry has always been very strong, because Tianjin has easy access to high-quality and low-cost timber. The coastal areas of Sanggyon-do in Liaodong, Liaoxi, Goryeo, and Jinguo all produced high-quality oak and iron birch, which could be used to make large warships.
In contrast, only Quanzhou's shipbuilding industry in the Song Kingdom was relatively developed, but it was also trapped in materials and could not build large and durable warships.
In addition, there is still a gap of more than 10 years between the Song and Zhou countries in artillery casting technology!
This gap is nothing in the army, after all, the army's field artillery only fires a projectile weighing a few pounds. Heavy artillery is not very useful, and it cannot be pulled after casting.
But the navy is different, no matter how heavy the guns are on the ship, it is nothing.
Therefore, the navy of the Zhou State had larger and stronger ships and heavier artillery, which could naturally crush the galleys and gunboats of the Song Dynasty.
"But it's not the Jin State that takes the initiative to provoke now," Zong Ze interjected, "Empress Dowager Xiao uses troops every year...... Seven or eight of the fortresses of the Jin Kingdom on the Horqin Grassland have been uprooted by her. The city of Linhuang has been exposed, and the third battle of Linhuang may occur at any time.
So the decisive battle between Jin and Dongliao is about to begin! Maybe Wu Haogu will no longer hide behind Xiao Sese's back this time, but will send a large army to participate in the battle.
Once the Jin State was defeated, Linhuang Mansion was captured by the Eastern Liao. Then even if Jin Guo doesn't leave, he won't be able to contain Zhou Guo! ”
As soon as Linhuang Mansion was lost, the Shangjing Road and Xijing Road of the Jin Kingdom were separated! And it was only a matter of time before Shangjing Dao was eaten by the Zhou State.
In addition, Linhuang Mansion is the ancient capital of Daliao and has a special symbolic significance.
Once Xiao Se Se entered the Linhuang Mansion, it symbolized the revival of the Great Liao Kingdom. At that time, there will be many grassland tribes who will take refuge in Daliao!
The Jurchens had to fight against the Khitans for the dominance of the steppe, where would they have the strength to deal with the Zhou State?
Listening to the discussions of several Zaishi who participated in the assembly in the political hall, a ballad that circulated among the people of Kaifeng came out of Dazai Jiyi's heart: "If you kill the chicken and eat the crisp, it is a good world in the world......"
The chicken that "killed the chicken" of course refers to Ji Yi, and the chicken is the homonym of Ji. The crisp of "eating the crisp" does not refer to Shaozai Su Chi, but to Su Chi's younger brother, Su Shi, who promoted the affairs of the Great Song Bank.
The Su brothers, who returned to officialdom after keeping filial piety for their father, have now become the Su Party in the reformers. The ban on the army, the training of the new army, the minting of bad coins, the issuance of treasury bonds, the promotion of new learning, and all kinds of new policies were all participated in by their brothers.
Thinking of this, Ji Yi set his eyes on the 54-year-old Shaozai Su Chi this year, "Bochong, what do you think?" ”
Su Chi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Yizhi, do you really think that Wu Haogu can't go south because of the containment of the Jin Kingdom?" ”
Ji Yi frowned deeply, and he didn't know how to answer.
Su Chi shook his head and asked himself, "I don't think so...... The reason why Wu Haogu didn't dare to go south was because of people's hearts! People's hearts are still on the side of the Great Song Dynasty! How many of the scholars and doctors in the world are facing the Zhou Kingdom? And how many support the Great Song Dynasty?
Dominating the world is not something that can be done by being strong and strong! We also need to be virtuous and win people's hearts. And Wu Haogu only seeks profit and does not establish morality, he only has merchants and martial artists in his heart, and there are no scholars and hundreds of millions of people in the world. So he didn't dare, and he didn't want to dominate the world. ”
Or the Su family knows Wu Haogu!
The Su family is now stepping into two countries. Su Shi is on the side of the Zhou State, although he is not ranked as the ruler, but there are many citizens and noble citizens. Moreover, it has great influence in the doctoral group and Yanshan University, Yuntai Academy, Tianjin University, and Liaoyang University.
I know the roots of Wuhao Gu very well!
In the basic plate of Wu Haogu, there are no scholars and ordinary peasants. His regime was that of a business-and-military citizen. Military citizens need granges, and businesses need markets and wealth. This is the source of all Zhou Guo's actions.
So the road to the unification of the Zhou State ...... If there is such an ultimate route, it will probably be very slow and tortuous.
"Unless," Su Chi continued, "unless we lose the hearts of the people ourselves!" ”
Ji Yi knew what Su Chi meant.
Su Chi advocated restricting industry and commerce and attaching importance to the people. It is necessary to improve the finances by increasing commercial taxes, and it is necessary to take stock of the land in the coastal states to replenish the people. alleviate class contradictions by suppressing merchant mergers......
"Bo Chong," Ji Yi shook his head, "I'm talking about provoking Zhou now." ”
Su Chi sneered: "Emperor Maode's marriage to Wu Yi is about to be made for a long time, will the official family agree to provoke the Great Zhou?" Today's discussion is meaningless, so let's think about how to give the people a respite.
Recall that the restriction of industry and commerce is certain! Even if you don't check the land in the coastal states, you have to increase the commercial tax significantly. The increase in commercial taxes allowed the imperial court to exempt the Central Plains peasants from summer money, Ding tax, and military money. Exempt from these three taxes, and the hearts of the people in the world can be stable for 30 years! When the time comes, you and I will no longer be in the world......"
