Chapter 1040: Southern Expedition and Northern Expedition - Betrayal of the Country

Chongzheng Hall called.

The important ministers of the two prefectures, as well as the two military planes of the Military Aircraft Department of the capital, all gathered in the Chongzheng Hall after Chang Ju and began to discuss the problem of how to command blindly.

Kaifeng Mansion is far away from the battlefield, and the situation of the enemy and its own side is not accurate, and even the actual number of the minimum number of troops (approximately) is not known, so how can it not be a bad thing if you want to command remotely?

But the Great Song Dynasty was such a rule, it liked to get a bunch of marshals for the front line, and at the same time find a group of ignorant civil officials in the court in the rear to discuss war defense.

This time and space finally has a military machine room, and with Wang Yu, a fellow military knowledge, can talk about the military machine room, which can be regarded as progress.

“…… The purpose of the machine room of the general army of the Xuanfu Division of Hebei is to defend the west and attack the east, besiege the Xijin Mansion City of the Liao State with the Hejian battalion, and at the same time use the high-ranking official Houlu to win over the Yandi Haoqiang, so as to achieve the goal of seizing Yanjing without blood. ”

"How can it be bloodless?"

"Aren't there more than 10,000 Khitan soldiers in Yanjing City?"

"Yandi Haoqiang has such skills?"

"A large camp between the rivers, but only 30,000 soldiers and horses, how can it be possible to besiege Yanjing City?"

"And how to solve the problem of grain and grass? The Hejian camp is so far away from the Jiehe Commercial Market, can it be transported? ”

"The grain and grass in the big camp between the rivers is still a small matter, but the transportation of grain from the north to the south is a big thing! In recent years, the population of Kaifeng Mansion has increased so much, but it is all supported by northern grain! ”

As soon as Wang Yu's words were finished, the ministers in the palace began to talk about it. No one believed that Wu Haogu could take Yanjing with 30,000 people, let alone the matter of "peacefully liberating Yanjing City".

In addition, there are also ministers who are familiar with the affairs of grain transportation in the boundary river raised the question of whether the transportation of grain from the north to the south can be sustained. During this time, because of the war between the Liao and Song Dynasties, the price of food in Kaifeng Mansion was also affected, and it was rising every day!

The people live on food!

The price of grain is rising every day, and the hearts of the people in Kaifeng Mansion will inevitably be chaotic. In the short term, it can also allow the Duti City to suppress grain prices by suppressing profiteers. But if the northern grain (in fact, everyone knows that it is Liao grain) really can't be transported south, and the supply of grain is really insufficient, can the price of grain still be suppressed?

In recent years, due to the abundant food supply and the expansion of Kaifeng Prefecture, the population of Kaifeng Prefecture has increased a lot! There are so many mouths, and you have to eat every day.

Hearing that someone raised the issue of rising grain prices in Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Ji suddenly thought of an even more terrible problem.

"How much grain is there in Kaifeng City? In case, in case of being besieged by the Khitans, how many days will it be able to hold out? ”

The important ministers in the Chongzheng Hall were stunned when they heard this. The Son of Heaven thought that Kaifeng Mansion was besieged? What a rainy day!

But if you think about it, this possibility can't be ruled out! It's autumn now, and it's winter in a blink of an eye, and when the river freezes, there is no danger to stop the iron cavalry of the Liao State, and it is not impossible for the soldiers to come to the city of Kaifeng!

It seems that you have to prepare early...... Why don't you quietly send your family and money to Haizhou first.

When many important officials of the court began to ponder the way out, Su Chi went out to answer questions.

Zhao Ji's question about food is to ask Taifu Siqing. The grain yard of the imperial court was supervised by the Taifu Temple, although the grain yard was theoretically only in charge of civil and military officials and military materials. However, the population structure of Kaifeng Prefecture is very special, and half of the population is covered by officials, forbidden soldiers, box soldiers, and their families.

Therefore, the reserve of the grain yard is related to the security of grain supply in Kaifeng Prefecture.

The current Taifu Temple Qing is Su Zhe's eldest son Su Chi, after his father Su Zhe went to Quanzhou, he was called by Zhao Ji to Kaifeng Mansion and served as a "busy Qing", in charge of Taifu Temple.

Su Chi came out of the class and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the current reserves of the Grain Institute are quite abundant, which is enough to meet the needs of officials, people, and soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion for a year. But ......"

"But what?" Zhao Ji asked a little impatiently.

"However, in recent days, many refugees have come from Hebei to the south, and the population of Kaifeng Province is increasing every day."

It turns out that there are too many mouths for eating!

"How's that okay?"

Zhao Ji glanced at Cai Jing with a sad face. Of course, Cai Jing understood the meaning of the official family, although this official family was known as the "Emperor Genghis", but the courage was still with the ancestors of the Zhao and Song dynasties. The war has been fought to this point, and he has long regretted it, right?

But if you want to cease the war and sue for peace, I am afraid that you will have to cede land and pay reparations! The official family will naturally not be wrong, of course, this black pot of losing power and humiliating the country is carried by the minister......

"Your Majesty," Cai Jing said, "the amount of rice and grain shipped from the Sixth Route in the southeast has a fixed amount every year, and it will not be reduced by the war in the north. The problem now is that the northern grain is transported to the south, and the northern grain has always been transported by the Hailu City Shipping Division. Wu Haogu, who can send an edict to inquire about the Quan Sehai Road Division, if 2 million stone flour can still be transported into Beijing this autumn and next spring, then the war can still be maintained. If the sea route is unable to sustain the transportation of grain, then ...... The minister implored His Majesty to temporarily sue for peace with the Liao Dynasty for the livelihood of tens of millions of people in Hebei and Gyeonggi. ”

Old fox!

Why didn't Zhao Ji understand that Cai Jing wanted to throw the pot to Wu Haogu?

However, Wu Haogu can also be hated, obviously it can cost a few million to get rid of the disaster, but he has to spend 100 million! Well, 100 million is 100 million, but when the money is spent, the disaster is getting bigger and bigger! If he doesn't carry this black cauldron, who will carry it?

"It's good!" Zhao Ji nodded lightly, his tone was already calm, "Let's draft the decree of the Zhongshu Sheren, not only to ask about the grain transportation, but also to ask about the erosion of the war in Hebei!" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ji pointed to a bunch of recitals on the imperial case, "Now Wang Yang of Zhendingfu Road, Liang Zimei of Dingzhou Road, Xu General of Damingfu Road, and Ye Zuqia of Gaoyangguan Road are all participating in him, saying that he delayed the military plane, did not save Dingzhou, lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and rashly advanced, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty," Cai Jing was the first to speak, "The old minister thinks that the situation on Hebei West Road is so corrupt, mainly because Liang Zimei is not. Please ask Your Majesty to remove Liang Zimei from his post and ask him for his guilt, so as to correct people's hearts! ”

Zhang Shangying also said: "Your Majesty, Wu Hao's ancient name was Hebei Xuanshuai, in fact, what can be mastered is Hebei East Road, and now Hebei East Road has won again and again, and it is Hebei West Road that has failed, how can you punish the commander of Hebei East Road for the failure of Hebei West Road?" ”

The left and right ministers both mentioned Wu Haogu to speak, and of course the officials below understood what to say!

Everyone knows that Wu Haogu can't fall now! Because he still has to carry the black cauldron of betraying the country to seek glory...... He is about to fall, and Cai Jing and Zhang Shangying's prime ministers can't sit down.

Zhao Ji actually didn't want to punish Wu Haogu immediately, after all, this country belongs to his family, and it is always good to sell a little less. And Wu Haogu is the best at trading, and he has a lot of friends in Liao, who will carry the black pot of betrayal if he doesn't carry it?

Gotta make him guilty and traitor!

When the errand of betraying the country is completed, he will be sent to Haizhou for the elderly.

Zhao Ji said, "Then transfer Gao Yu to serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road." Wu Haogu was reappointed as the envoy of the sea road city, and the Yanshan Road was deployed, and he also knew the affairs of the state. Then the northern part of Cangzhou was demarcated, and Jiehe Commercial City was established together with Jiehe Commercial City. ”

It seems that Zhao Ji not only wants to let Wu Hao Gu Dai betray the country this time, but also nationalize the "extralegal land" of Jiehe Commercial Market, at least it will become the same as Jingdong Commercial Market. You can't let Wu Haogu's forces grow there anymore.

If he grows stronger, is he still willing to betray the country?

Zhao Ji paused and said: "In addition, Wu Haogu, Brother Zhao Zhongge, Murong Parrot, Ma Zheng and others all have military exploits, and those who should be transferred to officials, those who should be knighted, and those who should be rewarded with money should all be missing!" The Privy Council and the Ministry of War drew up a plan as soon as possible. ”

"Your Majesty," the privy envoy Zheng Juzhong played, "Wu Haogu has already stayed behind the festival before, and this time it is time to enter the festival degree." ”

"Well, let's add the rank of knot." Zhao Ji thought for a while, "Give him a Youzhou Festival envoy!" ”

"Youzhou Festival Envoy?" Zheng Juzhong was stunned. Youzhou Town is one of the three towns of Heshuo in the past! And it was ceded to the Khitan as early as the Later Jin Dynasty. Now that he has given the official title of the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu to Wu Haogu, who is attacking Youzhou, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he is going to fight the Khitan to the end!

"That's right! It's the Youzhou Festival! Zhao Ji said, "We can't show too much weakness!" ”

"I understand."

"Your Majesty," Cai Jing said again, "Gao Yu is far away in Lingzhou, and it is impossible for him to take office without two or three months, is the Hebei coach still taken by Wu Hao Guquan during this time?" ”

"No need," Zhao Ji shook his head, "Wu Haogu can manage the defense of the Jiehe River and the war north of Jiezhou, as for the overall affairs of Hebei, it is better to choose another old minister who is highly respected and proficient in military and political affairs. ”

There is such an old minister? If Zhang Dian is still there, Zhang Qi is not dead, but he can be allowed to go out. But now, there are a lot of old fools, but there are no old ministers who are highly respected and can fight.

And if there is really such a person, he should also be directly appointed as the Xuanfu of Hubei, how can he have the right to take it?

"The minister recommended the Daimyo Mansion Road to pacify the envoy Xu Jiangquan to take Hebei Xuanfu Minister." Cai Jing played, "When there was a confrontation between our dynasty and the Khitan during the Yuanfeng period, General Xu was ordered to make Liao, respond not to be humble or arrogant, and to make Liao give up the idea of invasion. Later, he was in charge of the military department, and many of them were praised by the government and the opposition. Entrusting the affairs of Hebei to Xu Jiang for the time being will surely make Kaifeng Mansion worry-free. ”

This is the old minister who really wants to plan the country!

Zhao Ji was very satisfied with the candidate recommended by Cai Jing, nodded and said, "Then call General Xu to take charge of Hebei military affairs." ”

But Cai Jing knew that Xu Jiang was unreliable. So he played again: "Your Majesty, now that the situation on Hebei West Road is erosive, although General Xu is old, I am afraid it will be difficult to sort out the clues for a while, and the court needs to deploy a battle defense." ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers and Zhao Ji all nodded again and again, and only Zhang Shuye and Wang Yu, who were present at the meeting, sighed.

The main reason why Zhong Fu's entire army was defeated (both of them knew that Zhong Fu was not saved) was to order many doors! Now that the commander has been replaced, but he has not changed the problem of making many doors, the next battle situation is estimated to be ruined!
