"The Great Song Dynasty has exhausted its numbers, and a new dynasty should be established! From today on, you are no longer Zhao Zhen, nor is you the queen, take Xiangzhou as the foundation, build a new dynasty, you are the first female emperor of the Kai Dynasty! ”

"What?!"

Although Li Gengyun has instilled in Zhao Zhen a lot of ideas about giving up the individual and putting the common people in the world first, this time, Li Gengyun opened his mouth to let her re-establish the court and abandon the old Song Dynasty. This suggestion directly made Zhao Zhen feel incredible, she looked at Li Gengyun in surprise and asked, "You mean to let me change the dynasty and no longer take the restoration of the Great Song Dynasty as my own responsibility?" Wouldn't that be the target of public criticism? ”

"Targeted?!" Li Gengyun smiled coldly, as the old saying goes, those who steal hooks are punished, those who steal the country are princes, and those who steal the world are kings. The reason why the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty was captured so easily by the Northern Yuan Dynasty was that in addition to the treason of the Baili Xi family, the more important thing was that the Great Song Emperor Liu Yu had built a lot of construction in recent years, labored the people and lost money, and the treasury was empty, so he thought of filling the treasury with the method of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that he could squander and squander recklessly.

The Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over military force, since the time of Taizu, there are many restrictions on military attachés, many military attaches have chosen to surrender to the military, resulting in no good generals in the army, no virtuous ministers in the court, in the face of the growth of the Northern Yuan, the Great Song monarch was unmoved, so that the Northern Yuan has grown rapidly in the north over the years, which has also fueled their ambitions, buried the evil consequences of the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty and the seizure of the Central Plains. In the south, due to the strict taxes of the Great Song Dynasty, a large number of Song names fled to Southern Chu, and many Song ministers fled to Southern Chu, thus strengthening the military and political power of Southern Chu, which led to the total number of troops in Jiaozhou and Yizhou was not 30,000, and the number of ordinary people was also rapidly reduced.

"The Great Song Dynasty is weak, terminally ill, this disease is deep into the bone marrow, the Great Song Dynasty is no longer saved, if we still hold on to the Yuan, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the danger of overturning. Now that the Fangtong rebellion has just been put down, the morale of the military and the people in Xiangzhou is still a little fluctuating, and if we can't let the people and soldiers of Xiangzhou see hope for the future, then their morale will remain sluggish. So the first thing you have to do is to use the military to offset your taxes. A family of three enlists one person in the army, and the whole family is exempt from taxes, and a family of five enlists in the army, and the whole family pays half the tax. The tax law implements the eleventh system! ”

"Second, to develop commerce and trade, Xiangzhou is located inland, but surrounded by three rivers, it can be said that the land is fertile, and the grain output is quite good. Of course, the most important thing is that Xiangzhou's brocade is the first in the world. In the fifteen states of the Great Song Dynasty, only Xiangzhou and Jiangzhou are rich in brocade. Jiangzhou was under the high-pressure control of the White Lotus Sect, which inevitably caused those peasant households to be unwilling to work, and most of them joined the White Lotus Sect to seek food and clothing. And Xiangzhou is different, if the new dynasty is established, vigorously develop commerce, use brocade as a first-class trade product, and sell it to all parts of the state, whether it is Southern Chu or Northern Yuan, as long as someone buys it, we will take it out and sell it! It is best to buy back the iron from Xizhou and Northern Xinjiang from the Northern Yuan through Lizhou, so as to make weapons and equipment and expand the military power of the army! ”

"Third, select and recruit talents. The Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, which led to the absence of unscrupulous generals in the army and the absence of virtuous ministers in the court. As long as we release the policy of selecting and recruiting talents, and vigorously recruit scholars from poor families and generals in the field, I think we will soon be able to win the recognition of the people of Xiangzhou, and the people's aspirations are not exactly what we are looking forward to? ”

"Fourth, that is to strictly control the door valve of the family! When Fang Tong governed Xiangzhou, he had always had dealings with those family gate valves, and the reason why he was able to go so smoothly in Xiangzhou was also thanks to the support of those family door valves. The agreement reached between them will also end because of Fang Tong's failure. There are two possibilities, one is to unite against us, and the second is to reach an agreement with us and continue to cooperate with us by supporting Fangtong. ”

"Cooperation can continue, but for these people, we must strictly control! Therefore, it is necessary to take the leaders of these family gate valves in their hands and use him to intimidate everyone. ”

"And the last and most important one, which is that all armies must be mastered! I believe in a word, regimes come out of the barrel of a gun! Only by mastering the army can we have the capital to stabilize the situation. The military system of the Great Song Dynasty was very simple, from the highest commander to the soldiers, there were only four levels in between. The general is in charge of the troops, and then there are the captains, captains, captains, and captains. The establishment of the army is not clear enough, the army of 3,000 people has generals, and the army of 30,000 people is also called generals, and there is no military rank, so it is impossible to achieve the effect of matching the military system. So I think that the army of the new dynasty must be divided according to its number and category. ”

Li Gengyun made five suggestions to Zhao Zhen in one breath, which also made Zhao Zhen dumbfounded, especially the last one, when Li Gengyun said that the regime came out of the barrel of a gun, Zhao Zhen's eyes also lit up. That's right, only with elite soldiers and good generals can she have the capital to fight the world, so she must hold the army in her hands, otherwise she will think like this time, Fang Tong led the entire Xiangzhou army to rebel.

From the perspective of the military system, Li Gengyun proposed a simple plan to Zhao Zhen, of course, he would hand over the detailed plan to Guo Feng to do, after all, Guo Feng is still the military of the Xiangzhou Army, if Zhao Zhen opens a new dynasty, Guo Feng will either be the prime minister or the imperial historian, and he will definitely not be able to escape these things of formulating national policies and inspecting hundreds of officials.

Li Gengyun's plan was to reorganize the ranks of the army, and the ranks of the same type of army would be divided according to the number of troops, and the more the number, the higher the rank; Different types of armies are divided into ranks according to the importance of combat on the battlefield, for example, in modern warfare, the rank of a non-commissioned officer of a special forces unit and the commander of an ordinary infantry regiment is the same. However, the number of people led by the two is completely different, the non-commissioned officer chief only has 20 special forces, while the number of a regiment is 400 people, a difference of 20 times, precisely because the importance of the arms is different, the military ranks of the non-commissioned officer chief and the regiment commander are still the same. In this era, there were not many types of soldiers, nothing more than infantry, heavy armor, scouts, cavalry and crossbowmen. So how to divide it, Li Gengyun did not go into detail, but told Zhao Zhen that when Guo Feng can handle things normally, it would be good to leave these things to the other party to do.

"In the previous Xiangzhou Army, the Fang Family Army was the elite of the Xiangzhou Army, but with the fall of Fang Tong, I think they will soon lose confidence, the Fang Family Army was cultivated by Fang Tong and Fang Quan, and the other family is also relatively loyal, if you want to disintegrate them, it is very simple, as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and give kindness to those more loyal captains, so that all the people in the Fang Family Army can see your generosity, I think the people of the Fang Family Army are not fools."

"Complete the transition within a month as soon as possible, and after these conditions are initially met, we will directly announce the opening of the dynasty and the establishment of a new dynasty!"
