Chapter 1269: Retro Party Members-Can the Imperial Examination Be Abolished?
"Retro law, suppress mergers, equalize the land, raise soldiers...... Hahaha, I just said that He Li would think of the Restoration, but I didn't expect him to see the retro. Yes, yes, a great talent. ”
"Führer, this He Li is a native of Shu, a family of three brothers, who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination together, and all of them were in high school."
"One of the three jinshi! That's smart......"
"It's just a pity that such a person can't be used by my Da Zhou."
"It's a real pity that he can see the retro. See, you can't do it! ”
The Imperial Household Hall of the Führer. Wu Haogu was meeting and talking with Lin Chong and Liu Ze.
The content of the conversation between He Li and Liu Qi had been reported to Wu Haogu by Lin Chong.
And Wu Haogu also had a little appreciation for He Li. Song Confucianism still has talents, but the feudal monarchy system of the Great Song Dynasty determines that He Li's talents will not be displayed after all.
Wu Haogu smiled: "He Li didn't completely see through, in fact, my Great Zhou not only had the suppression of annexation, but also the land, and there was another one that the Song State could not implement no matter what." ”
"Führer, what is it?"
Wu Haogu smiled: "Abolish the imperial examination!" If the imperial examination is not abolished, the people in the countryside will take the examination as their way forward, and the army as their last career. Even if it can curb mergers, it will not be of much use. Moreover, most of the current big landlords are officials from Jinshi, so the imperial examination is not abolished, and the fields cannot be limited.
Su Yan, do you think that's the truth? ”
Wu Haogu's Ji Yi Chang Su Yan also attended today's meeting, and when he heard Wu Haogu's question, he responded with a smile: "What the Führer said is extremely true, and nine times out of ten the people of the imperial examination are those who have a wide range of good land. If the imperial examination is not abolished, how can the land be limited? Moreover, in the Song Kingdom, the restriction of land and the uniform field were to plunder the people's land. It will provoke a popular uprising at every turn, and then it will not be a big chaos in the world? From the perspective of students, instead of limiting fields and equalizing fields, it is better to abolish the imperial examination and take military merit as the way forward. In this way, the people of the people who have many fields will learn martial arts and join the army. ”
Wu Haogu nodded and asked, "Su Yan, do you think there is a successful route for restricting fields and Juntian in the Song Kingdom?" ”
"Yes!" Su Yan smiled and spit out four words, "Tyranny, kill!" ”
The Great Zhou's limited fields and uniform fields can work, but in fact, they are also based on killing. Yandi, Liaodong, Liaoxi, which land was not hit by the sea of corpses and blood? Next, if you want to send troops, Goryeo will continue to kill people.
But the question is, can the Song Dynasty kill like this? It's simply impossible...... One is to kill the enemy, and the other is to kill your own people, the difficulty is completely different. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all big landlords, who could kill them all? It simply can't be done.
Therefore, it is still the prescription prescribed by Wu Haogu to the Great Song Dynasty - the feasibility of abolishing the imperial examination is still higher.
At least historically, the Qing Dynasty succeeded in abolishing the imperial examination system...... Well, then it's a republic.
Wu Haogu smiled: "Su Yan, you go back and prepare a few eloquent essays criticizing the imperial examination system and hand them to me." ”
"Whoa."
These eloquent articles, of course, were to be published in the newspapers of the Song State to declare war on the old system of the Song Dynasty!
The anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement of the Great Song Dynasty has just begun, so it would be good to add a few more firewood.
Thinking of this, Wu Haogu said to Liu Ze again: "Second Brother Liu, please go to Kaifeng Mansion and go to Chen Dong, Zhang Jun, and He Li to be their financiers." If given the opportunity, it will lead to the formation of the Retro Party. ”
Liu Ze hurriedly got up and bowed: "Your subordinates will not be dishonored!" ”
……
"Dongliao has contacted us? But really? ”
"Really! Of course it's true, yesterday we all met with the Eastern Liao Xianggong Dagongding. Eastern Liao was willing to send 60,000 troops to raid Linhuang Mansion first, in order to mobilize the main force of Jin soldiers to advance eastward. Then our Great Song Dynasty plus the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of Western Liao and Liang Kingdom will attack Datong. Now the four countries can succeed in destroying Jince! ”
Wang said with a fluttering eyebrow, and when he said something excited, he got up from his chair and walked around the room, waving his arms from time to time.
Not long ago, Wang Huang, who also presided over the purchase of sky-high prices of cattle, sheep and horses, has become a main battle faction.
He Li asked: "Wang is waiting for the system, then do we still have to spend 900,000 yuan to buy cattle, sheep and horses?" ”
"Of course I want to buy it!" Wang Hao said, "This is a surprise victory, we spent this 900,000 yuan, and the Jin people will not be guarded." The battle of Datong is a must-win! ”
He Sanjie listened to Wang Hao's analysis, and all nodded their heads again and again, expressing their agreement - in fact, Wang Hao's analysis has a certain amount of truth, and spending this 900,000 yuan can indeed fool Jin Ren. But there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve strategic deception. These 900,000 alone are completely insufficient.
In addition, the Great Song Kingdom's own court is a super-large sieve, and any news will leak out. How can the actions of tens of thousands of troops be kept secret?
However, Wang Hao, He Li, He Tang, and He Yu are still very secretive, not only on the secret fold, but also by the champion Gong He Li personally with the chapter, day and night rushed to the Son of Heaven in Xiangyang Mansion. Reported the news of Eastern Liao's participation in the Four Kingdoms Expedition to Jin and the imminent destruction of Goryeo by the Zhou State to Zhao Ji, an official of the Great Song Dynasty.
……
Xiangyang is a majestic city in history, known as the iron Xiangyang. In the later period of the Southern Song Dynasty, it became the key point of the country's survival.
The failure of the siege of Xiangyang, which lasted for nearly five years, almost announced the sinking of Shenzhou and the death of the Han people!
With the strength of one city, it fought against the national army of Meng Yuan (at least Kublai Khan's national army) for five years, which also fully demonstrated the solidity of Xiangyang City.
However, if Kublai Khan in history saw the current Xiangyang Xiongcheng that was carefully built by Pan Xiao'an, the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture of the Northern Song Dynasty, which took several years to build at no cost, he would definitely give up his plan to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.
Because this Xiangyang Xiongcheng is so strong that it is mad!
This is not the Xiangyang City built by the Southern Song Dynasty court, whose national strength was seriously weakened by years of war, but the Xiongcheng City built by the Daozong Dynasty of Fengheng and Yuda at no cost. Moreover, Pan Xiao'an also hired a large number of craftsmen from the Qingcheng Academy and Gezhi Academy, and also used strong and cheap red bricks and plaster.
Because of the cheap red bricks, the city wall of Xiangyang is no longer a large amount of rammed earth wrapped with a thin layer of bricks, but wrapped in rammed earth with red bricks up to a foot thick. The red bricks are all bonded with Tianjin marl (not produced in Tianjin, but fired in a kiln near Xiangyang City), which is extremely strong.
It is not only the city of Xiangyang on the south bank of the Han River that uses this technology of red brick cladding and marl bonding. Looking across the water from Xiangyang City, Fancheng, known as the "paper paste", also uses the same technology!
And it was not only the construction process that improved, but also the design of the castle. The artillery and ballistas, which had just appeared on the battlefield a few years earlier, immediately influenced the design of Xiangyang and Fancheng.
The two castles are no longer traditional square structures, but octagonal ones. Each of the eight corners has a protruding triangular horse face (the design of this triangular horse face was copied from the Zhou state, and this rudimentary fortress was being built in large numbers in the northern Zhou state bordering the Jin state). The cannons, ballistae, and crossbows deployed on two triangular horses can form crossfire.
And with the protruding triangular horse face, the defenders did not have to deploy troops on the long walls. It only takes a small number of troops equipped with crossbows and artillery to resist the attack of an enemy who is several times or even ten times its own size by deploying a small number of troops equipped with crossbows and artillery on eight triangular horse faces.
Don't underestimate this massively troop-saving design. Because the saving of the garrison means a reduction in food consumption. Historically, the reason why Xiangyang surrendered after being besieged for nearly five years was actually due to the interruption of supply lines.
If the two cities of Xiang and Fan, which faced the Mongol army in history, were two fortresses equipped with artillery, Kublai Khan's army would probably have to stay under the city of Xiangfan until the fall of the Yuan Dynasty......
In addition to the two primary fortresses made of bricks and stones, Pan Xiao'an also built a 24-mile outer city along the Han River outside the Xiangyang Fortress City. It is also a red-brick structure, and although there is no triangular horse face, 24 semicircular horse faces were built along the city wall. Turrets were placed on semicircular horse faces for ballistas, cannons, or counterweights. These 24 forts are used to block the Hanshui River!
If the Song army could get enough cannons to place on the 24 batteries, then there would not be any enemy ships that could sail on this section of the Han River!
At the end of this 24-mile-long outer city, a 10-mile-long mountain city defense line was built relying on Hutou Mountain, which was directly connected to the south side of Xiangyang City, and a strong Hutou Mountain fortress was built on the main peak of Hutou Mountain as the core of the entire defense line. Thus constituting a complete defense system of the outer city of Xiangyang.
Between the outer city and the inner city of Xiangyang, there are as many as 20,000 acres of fertile paddy fields!
If fully developed, sixty or seventy thousand stone of rice can be harvested every year, enough to feed 10,000 to 15,000 defenders.
This number of defenders was enough to hold two fortresses, a mountain city, and 24 horse-faced batteries in the outer city along the river—if the Song court could equip the defenders with enough artillery, gunpowder, and divine arm bows and armor.
In other words, the limit of how long this fortified city of Xiangyang Mansion can be fortified in the face of enemy siege will be in centuries, not years!
After inspecting the city of Xiangyang (including Xiangyang City, Fancheng, the outer city along the river, and the Hutou Mountain City), Zhao Ji, the emperor of Daozong of the Great Song Dynasty, was a great joy of the dragon's face.
Immediately issued an edict to set up Xiangyang Zongzheng Temple and Zongzheng Temple Army, and all the sons of Zongzi who followed him south were placed under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Zongzheng Temple, and Ding Zhuang was selected from them to be incorporated into the Zongzheng Temple Army as the core of the future Xiangyang defenders.
At the same time, Zhao Ji also pulled out tens of millions of yuan from the pile sealing warehouse, which was used to build houses in the two cities of Xiangfan and purchase land outside the city to settle the southward migration of the sect.
Moreover, Zhao Ji also personally stayed in Xiangyang to supervise the establishment of the Southern Zongzheng Temple and the Zongzheng Temple Army.
Just when Zhao Ji was stranded in Xiangyang and didn't know when he would return north, He Li, the champion prince, personally took the chapter and finally rushed to Xiangyang Fucheng, which had become the first male city in the world.
