Han Qi is still very appealing, as soon as he came to the book, the court responded, the little emperor nodded and said good, and the matter of attacking the Liao State was put on the agenda. It's really because the slightly more pragmatic people are suspected of being a "physical school", and they have all been kicked out of the capital, and Ouyang Xiu, who doesn't look at them, is buttoned up by a "soldier who doesn't know the soldiers", and it can't play a role in stopping it.

However, after it was determined that the troops were sent to attack Liao, there were two embarrassing things in front of the Great Song monarchs, one was who would command the army, and the other was where the money and food would come from.

Over the years, the Great Song Dynasty has fought several wars and accumulated some famous generals, but they basically don't have the appetite for the little emperor and Han Qi. Di Qing has just been put to death, Zhang Kang and Jingtai have been classified as the "practical school", and the famous generals of Shaanxi and Guangnan such as the seed general, Zhang Shouyue and others are all brought out by Li Buqi, even if they win the battle, the glory will be counted on Li Buqi's head. Therefore, there are really not many people who can fight and are qualified to lead the army. Guo Kui is one, but Guo Kui is clearly opposed to attacking Liao, and he has already stated that it is difficult for him to take on a big responsibility. The same is true of Jia Kui, who played well on Huanqing Road. In short, none of the famous generals in Shaanxi and Hedong can be used.

Han Qi was really unavailable, and in the end, the little emperor appointed a famous general to lead the army attacking Liao from the direction of Hebei. When the news came out, Li Buqi felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't even have the idea of hoping that the Song army would not be defeated too badly, because the emperor actually ordered Gao Zunyu.

It's not a joke, Gao Zunyu can really be regarded as a famous general in the Great Song Dynasty. If nothing else, just because Gao Zunyu did follow Li Buqi to enter the Liao State, so the common people naturally can't fail to mention his name when they mention that wonderful battle. But the common people naturally can't know that what Gao Zunyu did in this battle was to lie on horseback and run with Li Buqi, and later there was also Gao Zunyu's name in the sequence of Di Qing's southward Zhenwu army, but in fact, Gao Zunyu was not present at all, just hung up a name. Therefore, although Gao Zunyu's resume is very good-looking, in fact, the level is really watery.

Li Buqi thinks that maybe Han Qi thinks that as long as firearms are used, the Liao State is not a problem, and Gao Zunyu belongs to the person who drew a line with Li Buqi earlier, and his qualifications are relatively high, so in order to appease the nobles, Gao Zunyu was given such an opportunity.

You can fool people around, but you can't fool money and food. If you dare to give chaff to those soldiers who go to the battlefield, they will definitely mutini on the spot, but now there is really no money and food for fighting in the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the last few years of Zhao Zhen, because of the development of commerce and trade, the reform of the currency system and the influx of rice and grain in Jiaozhi, the life of the Great Song Dynasty was much better. But Zhao Shu wanted the world to see his filial piety, and gave Zhao Zhen a big funeral, and tossed that little bit of family money again, even if there was a little leftover, it was not enough to support the huge consumption of Hua Liao. However, this is not difficult for Han Qi and the little emperor, didn't Li Buqi invent the method of issuing treasury bonds, just borrow it. The little emperor and Han Qi didn't expect that Li Buqi was waiting for them to issue national bonds.

Li Buqi hopes that Da Song will be good, but he knows very well that there are some things that he can't stop, so he doesn't mind taking advantage of these things. As for the result, Li Buqi is not worried - the Great Song Dynasty is big enough, it is not so easy to collapse - as for the people suffering, as long as someone is punished at that time, the people can only choose to be satisfied.

When the news of the Great Song Dynasty's re-issuance of treasury bonds just came out, another piece of news also spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty at the same time, saying that more than a dozen banks with high-ranking officials and nobles as backers wanted to use the issuance of treasury bonds to squeeze to death the four banks that had the strongest financial strength in the Great Song Dynasty but did not have a strong backing. These four banks are the Industrial Bank, the Shipping Bank, the Overseas Development Bank, and the Shaanxi Development Bank, and the means of squeezing them to death are very simple: they apportioned a large amount of treasury bonds to the four banks, drained their cash flow, and then instigated a run to force the four banks to sell themselves. And when the four banks can't sustain themselves, they can only buy those treasury bonds cheaply, and then it will be a bloody robbery.

Last time, Zhao Zhen issued 6 million treasury bonds for the Guangnan War, and the Liao State was much larger than Jiaozhi's, and if he wanted to defeat the Liao State and get back Yanyun, it was also possible to issue 20 million Treasury bonds, which would be apportioned to the four banks, which would really break the cash flow of the four banks. This made nervous not only the people working in the four banks, but also the businessmen and factory owners who made deposits in the banks. Because these four banks are in some ways like mutual aid institutions for merchants and factory owners, after depositing money in them, you can borrow money at a discount on the amount you deposit, and the interest rate is lower than that of banks whose sole purpose is to lend money. If these four banks fail, these merchants and factory owners will have to borrow from usury when they need to turn over their funds.

Because of their dependence on low-interest credit, these merchants and factory owners did not choose to run on the banks this time, but chose to rebel, and there were large-scale merchant strikes in Shaanxi, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong.

For them, this is an unwarranted disaster, because after the investigation of the Imperial City Division, it was reported that it was all rumors, and someone in the banks had just raised the matter, and before they had time to connect it, they didn't know how the rumors spread first.

No matter how exactly this news leaked, this ass emperor and prime minister must be wiped off. When a war is waged, they certainly understand the principle that the rear must be stable, so they made it clear to the world that they would never apportionment the national debt. Since then, these four banks have not bought a penny of Treasury bonds.

However, the treasury bonds are not worried about selling, because they have tasted the sweetness of buying treasury bonds twice, and because the interest rate on treasury bonds is set very high this time, many people are waiting to buy them. The first phase of treasury bonds, which began to sell in November of the third year of Zhiping, with a total amount of 10 million yuan, was subscribed before entering the wax moon, and the ordinary people couldn't even drink the soup - nonsense, the interest on the treasury bonds was so high, why, isn't it just to take care of their own people, how can it be cheaper for irrelevant people?

With money and food, and with enough rewards for the soldiers, they can fight. Just after the first month of the fourth year of Zhiping, the Great Song Dynasty was busy for the war.

Han Qi was still the same as when he fought with Western Xia, counting on the first battle to settle Yanyun, so he planned a three-way Song army with a total of 300,000 people to attack Liao. Among them, the Hedong side led an army of 40,000 troops led by Guo Kui to attack Xijing Datong of Liao, and the Hebei side was commanded by Chen Shengzhi, the deputy privy envoy, and Han Xiong led an army of 50,000 to march north from Xiongzhou in the three passes, and the main force was the 200,000 army commanded by Gao Zunyu, known as 500,000, and went straight to Youzhou.

In order to prepare for this big war, the people of Hebei were transferred to the road, and the edge of the border was cut to open up the route of the march, and the little emperor also sent envoys to blame the Liao State for invasion. With such a big momentum, can the Liao side not be wary? Emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and the Liao State also gathered more than 200,000 people on the border of Hebei.

Han Qi and the others also tried their best for this attack, for example, in order to reduce the consumption of grain and straw, the time of the attack was put at the end of March, so that the grass had grown, and a large number of war horses of the Song army could graze on the spot, and they relied less on logistics. However, all this planning was obviously useless, and the firearms they relied on did not work as they thought.

The Liao army has been defeated repeatedly in front of the Song people on the Liaodong Peninsula over the years, but it is not for nothing, at least it is familiar with firearms, and has a great understanding of the range and power of the Song people's firearms. Although the gunpowder weapons used by the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army were created by skilled craftsmen of the Bianliang Military Weapons Supervisor, they had a longer range and greater power than the firearms used by the Song people in Liaodong, but there was no difference that was enough to subvert the way of warfare.

After several attempts to understand the performance of the firearms of the Great Song Forbidden Army, the Liao army once again used its usual tactics, using cavalry to make a gesture of attacking the Song army when the two armies came into contact, but these cavalry would suddenly turn at the edge of the range of the Song army's bows and crossbows and firearms, and if the Song army could not hold on to the premature shooting, it would miss the target. At this time, the hesitant crossbow and firearms must be reloaded, and there is a gap in firepower, which will create an opportunity for the Liao cavalry.

Li Buqi placed great emphasis on discipline when training his troops, and the soldiers aimed at the enemy, and could only fire within 50 meters of the enemy, and they would be severely punished if they were not ordered to fire, and the backbone of the troops in Shaanxi had relatively rich combat experience, so they used firearms to deal with the Western Xia cavalry like a bag. But this time, the little emperor sent 100,000 forbidden troops in the capital with no combat experience to participate in the attack, these forbidden troops in the capital were used to being casual, and they did not aim because they were afraid of the collapse of the sparks, and they did not put the butts of the guns against their shoulders because they were afraid that the muskets were too recoiling, and they should not be expected to be able to listen to the orders to release their guns under the rain of arrows and the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry.

Under the city of Zhuozhou, almost in just one round, the forbidden army from the capital was defeated, so that there was a huge gap in the formation of the entire Song army, and the Liao army rushed in from the gap......

At this time, the most unexpected thing happened, Gao Zunyu led a team of men and horses, and the horses ran south first, so there was no more.
