Tianjin, Führer's Palace.

Wu Yijiu, who finally sat on the throne of the head of state, slept peacefully, and on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, he appeared in the hall of the head of state palace in high spirits and presided over the ruling meeting for the first time.

The government of Zhou implemented the head of state responsibility system, but it was also assigned to the left and right two ministers, under the two phases, there were six ministries and six supervisors, and there was also a military machinery department directly responsible to the head of state.

The ruling meeting is the highest decision-making meeting of the Zhou government, and in addition to the head of state, the left and right ministers, the military envoys, the six ministers and the six prison officials, usually have to participate.

And today's meeting, because it is the first time that Wu Yijiu has presided over the ruling meeting, so everything that should be there is here.

"Chen Junji," Wu Yijiu glanced at Jian Chen and ordered, "You can speak first." ”

Jian Chen bowed to Wu Yijiu, and then said, "I just received a report that the Song Kingdom is at war with us!" ”

"What!?"

"How is that possible?"

"Is it friction at the border?"

At that moment, many high-ranking officials of the republic exclaimed. Now the Great Zhou is also a little stormy, the traitor Ao Lu Wei of Eastern Liao has not been completed, the war with the Jin State has not ended, and Wu Haogu is uncertain about life and death, how can he start a war with the Great Song Dynasty again?

Even if you want to fight, you have to come one by one!

Zhang Zhifeng coughed and said in a deep voice: "It is true that the war has started!" Our No. 1 fortress on the south bank has been occupied by the Song army!

The war between the Great Zhou Republic and the Song State has broken out! ”

Captured a bastion?

How is this possible!?

At this time, the senior officials of the ruling government were dumbfounded, and they all looked at Wu Yijiu in a daze.

Wu Yijiu was calm, "Let's fight!" What's there? When did our republic become afraid of war?

Two or three hundred thousand knights and soldiers have many sons growing up, all waiting for meritorious service...... Fighting with Jin Guo, and fighting with Dongliao don't have so many fields to share! There is only Song Kingdom!

There are many workshops in Tianjin, Yanjing, and Xuande Mansion that want to make weapons for the army. Fighting the Jin Kingdom and Dongliao can't be open to spending money. That is, the Song Kingdom is arrogant, and no matter how you fight, you will not lose money.

The black soil in the Liaohe River valley has also been harvested every year, and the grain has long been unable to be eaten and sold. A battle is just harvested to make military rations!

It's a joy for all! What do you think? ”

How does it sound like a blame plantation?

Mi Youren, the left minister, whispered: "The old head and the Great Song official family have a deep friendship, and the two families are good ...... of Qin and Jin."

Wu Yijiu smiled: "My father was favored by the Great Song Dynasty, so it was naturally inconvenient to turn his face.

Moreover, a few years ago, the sons and daughters of the knights and government soldiers were too young to be soldiers, and there were no soldiers available for a sudden war. Liaohe and Goryeo also need time to be reclaimed and resettled.

But now I'm the Führer! The sons of knights and soldiers have gradually grown up. The development of the Liaohe River and Goryeo has also achieved initial results. It's time to use the army! ”

The officials in the hall now understood that this was Wu Yijiu's trick for Song Jun.

Now the Song State occupies a fortress in the Zhou State! The evidence for waging a war of aggression is overwhelming.

This is the imperialist heart that will not die! The Republic of Great Zhou has reached the most dangerous time! Can you still resist and defend your home and country?

Right Prime Minister Su Guo shook his head, "Führer, the Song State is a big country, with a territory of thousands of miles and a population of hundreds of millions. Our Zhou State is a small state, with a population of just over 10 million, and it is ...... The implementation of the military merit field system, it is easy to defeat the Great Song Dynasty, but it is difficult to swallow the Great Song Dynasty! Once a war starts, it is possible to last for decades. I hope the Führer thinks twice! ”

He paused, and then changed his words, "If our country can be a little more accommodating in land and the strategy of taking scholars, we can ban mergers and acquisitions, and open up science and technology." However, it can be supported by the scholars, and it is not impossible to take the Song Dynasty within ten years. ”

Su Guo's remarks were not against war, but proposed a strategy that could quickly destroy the Song Dynasty.

It's to win over the doctors!

The Song Dynasty ruled the world with scholars. The interests of scholars and doctors are twofold, one is the private ownership of land; The second is the imperial examination.

If the Zhou State can meet their requirements to a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with replacing the emperor with the head of state.

"Our country also has private land," Wu Yijiu said, "It's just a matter of taxation according to law!" Serve as a soldier in the field, and pay taxes in the private field. As for the imperial examinations...... If you want to be an official, you can go to university, you can go to the army to make meritorious contributions, you can run for public office, there are many opportunities. ”

There is not much private land in Zhou, mainly because Zhou's land area is limited, and the cultivated land is only more than 100 million mu. After maintaining 300,000 household soldiers and knights, there is not much left. Therefore, the number of landlords and yeoman farmers other than military citizens is small, but it is not absent.

For example, there are many noble landlords in Yandi, and there are many private fields in the martial arts. In Goryeo, there are 100,000 medium-sized homesteaders, each with 50 acres of land, all of which are private land for paying taxes. In eastern and western Liaoning, there are also a small number of nobles and farmers who own private land.

But the absolute mainstream is still the vocational field!

And the Song Dynasty now has 600 million mu of land, and after the Great Zhou annexed the Song Dynasty, of course, it is impossible to turn all 600 million mu into professional fields, so there must be millions of knights and soldiers, which is too much. Therefore, private land with a large amount of tax payment will definitely be retained.

However, the management of private land in the Zhou State was very strict, and tax evasion and hidden land were absolutely not allowed. Since officials in the Zhou state had to have citizenship, most of the grassroots officials who served outside of several industrial and commercial cities were military citizens who did not have private land. Of course, we will not be soft when it comes to collecting taxes in Kiyota!

Moreover, there is economic competition between private land and vocational land. If private land can hide tax evasion, then the land that needs to pay for military service will be at a disadvantage in the competition. Then there will be a situation where a large number of Zhitian manors will go bankrupt or have difficulty in operation, and the citizen military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be able to be maintained.

Therefore, the Great Zhou regime was not very friendly to private land, and holding private land could not obtain satisfactory returns.

If the Zhou government brought this attitude towards private land to the land that now belonged to the Song State, I am afraid that there would be a great backlash - and once the Zhou State gave in on the issue of private land, then the private land households and military citizens of the Zhou State would be attacked!

On the issue of the imperial examination, Wu Yijiu had no room for concession, because the official system of the Zhou State did not leave room for the imperial examination system at all.

The Zhou State also had a route to become an official by examination, but the official positions obtained through the examination were very low, and they were just officials in the Song Dynasty. It is simply unthinkable to take the exam to get a county lieutenant!

Graduates of Yuntai Academy can usually only start from a junior official at the level of a clerk, how can it be possible to let a village scholar ascend to the sky and be admitted to a senior affairs officer at the level of a county lieutenant?

Moreover, the imperial examination system also has a great negative effect - disarming the landlord class!

From the perspective of cost and benefit, it is much more cost-effective to study and take the imperial examination than to fight in the army. The former is not only safe, but also requires very little investment. And the latter may be killed, and the investment is large.

Therefore, once the imperial examination system was introduced into the Zhou State, it would inevitably cause the military citizen class to gradually turn to the imperial examination, and the combat effectiveness would naturally gradually collapse.

Su Guo shook his head and said: "My country's private land law is very strict, and in the eyes of the Song people, it is tantamount to harsh government. And the academy and the school palace are expensive. If it is all private, only the wealthy can bear it. Our country is acceptable, but if it passes through the world, it will cut off the way to rise from the cold door. I'm afraid that there will be countless opponents in vain, so that the battle between Zhou and Song will be protracted! ”

Wu Yijiu lowered his voice: "Then let's protract it!" Our republic is unprecedented. The world is like the division and unity of the Qin and Han dynasties. If it takes decades of work, why not Yijiaguo for the world and the world for the public? ”

In a way, the Battle of Song and Zhou will be more fierce than the Battle of Song and Jin in history!

Because in the eyes of the Song people, it was impossible for the Jurchen barbarians to dominate the world, so the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty could bend their knees and beg for mercy and survive. And the republic of the Great Zhou, the world is for the public, of course, it can be replaced by the Song Dynasty and have the world.

In this way, it will be difficult to have room for compromise when the Song and Zhou wars together!

In addition, the advantages of the imperial examination being fair and cheap have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty. The imperial examination is not only a passage for the poor to rise, but also bears the function of rural wealth distribution - if you become a big landlord in the imperial examination, you will decline if you fail the examination for several generations, which is very fair!

If the Zhou State adhered to the line of abolishing the imperial examination and suppressing annexation, the contradictions between the Zhou State and the Song Dynasty scholars and doctors would also be difficult to reconcile.

Wu Yijiu paused, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is now the Song State that provokes the war, and it wants to take advantage of the chaos of my Great Zhou Kingdom to destroy the foundation of our republic!" Now that Song Kou has come to the capital gate of Tianjin, the Republic has only one battle against the city! ”

He stood up suddenly, pressed his hands against the rectangular conference table, and raised his voice: "As the acting Führer, I suggest that the ruling council immediately propose the bills of 'general mobilization' and 'declaration of war against Song', and then convene a Senate meeting to vote!" ”

"Agree to a general mobilization and a declaration of war!"

"Seconded!"

"Mobilize now, declare war now!"

"Seconded the proposal, the soldiers are in the capital, there is no way back!"

Although there was still controversy over how to destroy the Song Dynasty, on the issue of declaring war and general mobilization, not only the ruling council quickly reached an agreement, but also the Senate and the entire city of Tianjin reached a consensus later!

The No. 1 fortress on the south bank occupied by the Song State was not a colony located in Nanyang, but at the gate of the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. In terms of administrative division, it belongs to Tianjin Prefecture!

Although the Zhou country is big, the Zhou people have no way to retreat, because Tianjin is behind them!

When the news of the Song State treacherously attacking the fortress of Tianjin spread in Tianjin, the capital of the Great Zhou Republic suddenly boiled.

Countless citizens and civilians flocked to the Republic Square, crowding in front of the Senate building, chanting slogans such as "Defend the Republic" and "Down with Song Ko". Of course, these people are not just talkers, as citizens and civilians of the Great Zhou, they are all really happy existences when they hear the war!

And this time, the enemy is the rich Great Song!

Get rich!
