Chongzheng Palace.

Zhao Ji is dying!

is not only anxious for himself, but also for Yelu Yanxi and Da Liao!

This kindness, not only Zhao Ji couldn't have imagined it a year ago, but even Zhao Ji's ancestors would never have thought that there would be such a "bad descendant".

"Zhuqing, tell me, what can I do?"

Yang Jian had already told the situation of Wu Hao's ancient expedition to Goryeo, the completion of the meeting, the appointment of the sea, and the persuasion of the Jurchen tribal alliance and the northern and southern Goryeo to declare themselves to the Great Song Dynasty. After saying that, he was sent back to listen to the news.

In the hall, Zhao Ji, who was so worried that he was about to cry, asked repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." It was Su Zhe's son Su Chi who was the first to come out of the class to play, "After all, Liao is a big state, with thousands of miles and millions of soldiers, and its lord Yelu Yanxi is good at using soldiers, so it will not be so easy to defeat." ”

Yelu Yanxi's ability to use troops is recognized - Zhao Ji and a group of scholars and bureaucrats under him all agreed that Yelu Yanxi could fight.

But if the citizen soldiers of Wu Haogu, the Ganda of the Wanyan family, the ancestor of Temujin, the Jingjiao disciples of the Kereh tribe, and the Tianli knights of Hexi join forces, Yelu Yanxi will probably be difficult to bear, right?

"As long as Yelu Yanxi is not defeated, Youzhou, Hexi, Zubu, Menggu, and Jurchen will not be able to draw strength to deal with the imperial court." Su Chi said, "So the imperial court still has time to rectify its defense and deal with the great difficulties in the future." ”

Zhao Ji was a little relieved, and then set his eyes on Wu Juhou, who knew the Privy Council, and Wu Juhou played: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that to rectify the defense, we must start with the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, withdraw the Forbidden Army, and train the new army. If there are 200,000 new troops stationed around Gyeonggi, Gyeonggi will be safe and the world will be safe. ”

"Withdraw the forbidden army," Zhao Ji frowned, "train the new army...... Now there are a lot of soldiers gathered in Kaifeng Mansion, but who can train so many soldiers and horses for me? ”

There are really few available training talents in Zhao Ji's hands. Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan all became warlords, Han Xiaoxuan was also ordered to become a warlord, Tong Guan was not allowed to be involved in the military affairs of Gyeonggi because he lacked key parts, and Wang Yu, Yang Keshi, and Yang Kebi still had to support them in front of the army.

"The minister recommends that he know the truth and set the affairs of the government." Wu Ju is kind.

Zhending Mansion has been given to the Zhaoyi Army, but the Zhaoyi Army does not have such a blatant secession as Youzhou and Hexi, and officials at the level of the Zhending Mansion do not dare to appoint it on their own, but only make a recommendation and ask the imperial court for approval. Moreover, the officials recommended are not necessarily the military leaders of the Zhaoyi Army, but also people from the imperial court. Zong Ze is a member of the imperial court, a dignified civil official.

Wu Juhou said: "Although Zong Ze is a civilian official, he assists Han Xiaoxuan in training troops and fighting, and he has a lot of hard work (there is no credit, because he has not won a battle), and he is very capable, and he can be entrusted with important tasks." ”

"Training with civilian officers?" Zhao Ji couldn't make up his mind again.

The Great Song Dynasty has always been a civil and military career, and civilian officials train soldiers, can it be done?

"Do you want him to be converted into a martial artist? It's inconvenient for civilian officials to train troops, right? Zhao Ji asked.

Wu Juhou said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yuan and Han Xiaoxuan are both civil officials. Although Wu Haogu is called a military attaché, he is not a martial artist, but a merchant born, good at painting, proficient in Confucianism, known as a great Confucian, in fact, he is also a civil official. ”

Zhao Ji frowned, it turned out that he had misunderstood the military attaché...... Wu Haogu is not a real military attaché! It's just a scribe who has been given military qualifications. Zhang Yuan and Han Xiaoxuan are both civil officials! It's the high-ranking man who killed himself is the real military attaché!

It seems that civil officials are not necessarily more reliable than military officials!

"The ancestral family law, how can it be lightly wasted?" Zhao Ji said, "Zong Ze can serve as the supervisor of the army, and he can also find more civilian officials who are familiar with military affairs to serve as the supervisor of the generals." As for military training, it still depends on military attachés...... Do you have any candidates to recommend? ”

Wu Juhou was stunned for a moment, how could he not have the proof that civilian officials were able to train the army that he put forward now, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends the Seed Master." Su Chi was the first to play. "The master is a general, and he has presided over the training of the new army in Shaanxi, which is quite effective."

"Seed Master Dao......" Zhao Ji nodded, "This person can." Anyone else? ”

Cai Jing played: "The minister recommended Yao Gu, Yao Gu is also a general of the Western Army, and he has also managed the New Army. ”

The Yao family of Sanyuan and the Jingzhao family are both big mountains in the Western Army, and if they move these two mountains together, plus Zong Ze as the supervising army, the new army of Gyeonggi should be able to ensure that they are safe.

"Your Majesty," Cai Jing continued, "I think that peace talks with the Liao State should also begin as soon as possible. Maybe Liao Guo doesn't know that Sheng Juzhen and Youzhou have colluded together, so we should let them know so that they can be prepared. In addition, if the birth of the Jurchen and the northern and southern Goryeo want to be vassals to the imperial court, how should they deal with this matter? Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear. ”

Zhao Ji's brows that had just unfolded were twisted again, people have come to claim the minister, how to deal with this? Don't?

"Cai Qing, can you have a good plan in your chest?" Zhao Ji didn't have an idea, so he simply asked Cai Jing instead.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court should not recognize the two Goryeo." Cai Jing still has a way, "It's better to accept the submission of South Goryeo and reject North Goryeo."

Because South Goryeo is controlled by Youzhou, the imperial court does not accept it, and South Goryeo will be a vassal to Youzhou. This will undoubtedly elevate the status of Youzhou.

And Northern Goryeo was controlled by the birth of the Jurchen, and once it accepted that North Goryeo was nominally attached, the imperial court would indirectly establish a relationship with the birth of the Jurchen. This may cause misunderstanding in Liao. ”

"How does the birth girl really deal with it?"

"It's okay to delay," Cai Jing said, "If you directly refuse to give birth to Jurchen, it is to push Shengjuzhen to Youzhou...... If you agree to give birth to a Jurchen inside, I am afraid that it will make the war in Hedong start again. It's better to wait for changes and wait for changes, depending on the situation. ”

"With what excuse to procrastinate?"

Cai Jing thought for a while and said, "Just delay the time on the grounds that the road is impassable." If the messenger of the birth girl really arrives, the court may wish to deal with it and give some money. Then send an envoy to visit the minister to discuss the matter of the minister and the year, as long as the return mission refuses to leave the country on the grounds that the road is impassable. Things can be delayed for a while. ”

"That's all it can be." Zhao Ji sighed and paused again, "Then who can make Liao?" ”

Cai Jing played: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Wu Haowen as the chief envoy. ”

Wu Haowen's current dispatch is Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Taichang Temple is one of the nine temples, although it is a clear water yamen in charge of ritual music, but the status is very high, it is the head of the nine temples, and its position is clean and respectful. For civil officials who work hard to climb up, a Taichang Temple official still looks good on his resume. However, Wu Haowen is purely chaotic in Taichang Temple. Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is not a petty official, and he can be a scholar of Hanlin, a scholar of the middle school, and an important position such as a waiter of the six departments. It's just that these confidential positions can be given to Wu Haowen? Even the local prefect and prefect can't give it to him. So Wu Haowen is now eating and waiting for death, oh, it may be that he is waiting to be the prince, anyway, there is no officialdom future at all.

However, Wu Haowen is not popular in officialdom, which does not mean that Zhao Ji has a bad relationship with him. He and his younger brother Wu Haode were also frequent visitors to Qionglin Palace and Yanfu Palace. Not long ago, Zhao Ji also rewarded the Yan King Wu Haogu brothers, crowned Wu Haowen and Wu Haode as the founding county princes, and also gave 1,500 real seals each, and also gave the two of them the county mansion - the so-called real seal is actually false, but it is just a closed household that counts dozens of dollars of money. But the county government is real! The real estate in Kaifeng Mansion is still a big house. And the first gift to the county prince with a foreign surname is an extra courtesy.

Cai Jing continued: "Wu Haowen is the brother of King Yan, and his mission to Liao State can show that the relationship between the imperial court and King Yan is still very close. Wu Haowen's request for 10 million yuan to redeem Taiyuan, Daizhou, Xinzhou and other places is more likely to succeed than others. ”

In this war, the Liao army never defeated the army of the Great Song Dynasty, but the army that fought Youzhou did not win, and it was a crushing defeat every time!

If it is Youzhou's meaning to redeem the lost land in Hedong with 10 million yuan, Yelu Yanxi will have to think about it.

Zhao Ji nodded, "Okay!" That's it. He paused, "It's just that 10 million is not a decimal number, can the imperial court take it?" ”

Cai Jing said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the matter of issuing money is going smoothly at present, and there is no problem on the Kaifeng Mansion." Just wait for Ji Yi and Su Shi, who returned to Beijing to report on their work, to enter the court, and they can discuss with them a method to implement in the commercial market. As long as the money can be sent, 10 million is just a small amount. ”

Although there is a lesson from Wu Haogu's past, the special system of the Hailu City Shipping System and Placement Division has still not been canceled.

The reason is very simple, it is because there is Youzhou, there is a good ancient martial arts! If the imperial court does not relinquish power, the Hailu City Ship Control Division will soon lose the power to compete with Youzhou at sea. Wu Haogu had no opponent at sea, so he could naturally control all the sea power in the East and South Seas from the Srivijaya Strait to the sea off Tianjin. How much tax will Youzhou have to pay in a year? Now the imperial court can suppress Youzhou, which is nothing more than huge financial resources. If Youzhou's financial resources can compete with the imperial court, it is really hard to say whether the world of the Great Song Dynasty will become the world of Wu Zhou.

Even if Zhao Ji can't figure it out, how could Cai Jing be so confused? Therefore, the interests of the sea route must now be fought for by the shipping department of the sea route market.

But the imperial court can't fully trust Ji Yi, can't it be guaranteed that he is not the second martial artist? Therefore, it is inevitable to support Su Shi and contain Ji Yi.

Now Su Shi controls the trade along the coast of Fujian, and Ji Yi controls the trade along the coasts of Jingdong, Huainan, and Zhejiang. If Su Shi can give a satisfactory answer to Beijing this time, then the Guangzhou City Ship Division can be merged with the Quanzhou City Ship Division to form a unified Fujian and Guangdong City Ship Division.

At that time, there will be a situation in the southeast sea where Wu Haogu, Ji Yi, and Su Shi are evenly balanced. It must be very beneficial to the imperial court!
