Jia Yidao knew very well that two or even several years a year was not enough to truly make up for the huge military gap between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia. And this gap in military strength, in the final analysis, is just the combat effectiveness of the army.

It is obviously not enough to build a real elite army with a few temporary moments, after all, it is no less than a fool's dream to train an elite that can compete with the Mongols just by training behind closed doors. No matter how perfect the so-called elite is on the training ground, if it has not been on the real battlefield and has been baptized by blood and fire, it can never be called elite.

After all, even if the training ground is real, it is still just a training ground.

What's more, in the face of a Mongol army of hundreds of thousands and countless servant armies, what role can an elite army play with just one elite army? A large army may be able to gain a local advantage over Mongolia, but the local advantage is ultimately limited to the area where the elite is located, but it cannot turn that advantage into a strategic advantage that is beneficial to the entire Great Song Dynasty.

After all, the war between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia will definitely not be just a three-day-to-ten day-long war like it is now, but a national war. In the national war, in the end, it is the overall situation, and the local victory in the face of the declining overall situation is at most just a little more symbolic.

Jia Rudao saw these very clearly.

In the era of cold weapons, the Great Song Dynasty, which had been weak in military strength for a hundred years, faced the Mongolian cavalry that swept across the Eurasian continent, there was really no comparison, and there was no time to change the situation for the Great Song Dynasty to Jia Yidao, not to mention that the militarily weak Great Song Dynasty wanted to change It was not possible to change it in a moment and a half.

Since it can't change the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty internally, Jia Rudao can only change the contrast between the two sides through external forces. In the era when cold weapons were king, if you want to have an overwhelming advantage over the powerful Mongols, you can only use hot weapons.

Wasn't the Qing Dynasty opened the country by the strong ships and cannons of the empire on which the sun never sets? Even though the Qing Dynasty, which was already in decline at that time, was still the most powerful country in the world at that time, it was still the most powerful country in the world at that time, but in the face of the empire on which the sun never set, armed with muskets and cannons, it could only become fish on the chopping block.

This was also the only way that Jia Yidao could think of to close and reduce the military gap between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia in the shortest possible time. But even if he had already started to prepare, and even those old craftsmen in the ordnance prison had been gathered and sent to Guangzhou in advance, he had to get the support of the imperial court in some things.

After all, no matter what you do, you can't do without one thing, and that's silver. Money is needed for military training, and money is needed for the development of firearms, the study of gunpowder, weapons equipment, weapons, and the casting of weapons.

Silver also takes time to earn. But these things, now that others have not arrived in Guangzhou, they have not done anything, and they can't see any possibility, whether Shi Songzhi and others will support it is still two words, and all he can do now is to try to take precautions to buy more time for himself and the Great Song Dynasty.

However, whether Shi Songzhi and Zheng Qingzhi believe these things or not, they don't have any strength to talk to the two of them in detail at this moment.

"The two adults, it seems that the Dao also knows that it is really a bit overstepping the way to return to the north after releasing Yan Hongye privately, and the Holy Shang, the Dao will naturally explain. As long as the two adults don't say it, after a few years, even if the identity of Yan Hongye is really revealed to the world, it will be too late to think about it at that time. I can't say, at that time, my Great Song Dynasty had already done that national war with the Mongols, and in the face of the national war, a princess who died was really nothing. ”

Jia Yidao didn't worry too much about the matter of releasing Yan Hongye privately, after all, Zhao Yun himself didn't attach as much importance to Wanyan Hongye as Shi Songzhi and Zheng Qingzhi imagined, otherwise he wouldn't let Jia Yidao come to see Yan Hongye.

"Shi Xian is so sure that the Mongols will definitely start another war with my Great Song Dynasty?" Shi Songzhi said suspiciously.

At this time, he also discovered that looking at all the actions of Jia Nidao these days, it seems that they are preparing for the future war with the Mongols, but there is a moat on the Yangtze River, although the Mongols say that the cavalry is unparalleled, it is because the Mongols themselves are a people who grow on the grassland, but if it is about the water division, the Mongolians are afraid that even if it is a few decades later, they will not be able to beat the Great Song Water Division.

Without the assistance of the water division, no matter how powerful the Mongol cavalry is, can it still fly across the Yangtze River?

"It's not that the Mongols are sure that the Mongols will start a war with my Great Song Dynasty again, but that the Mongols will definitely use troops against our Great Song Dynasty again, and once the Mongols invade the south again, I'm afraid that they will no longer retreat after plundering as before, but intend to destroy our Great Song Dynasty with a war."

Shi Songzhi and Zheng Qingzhi were silent when they heard Jia Yidao's words.

From the bottom of their hearts, both of them think that Jia Rudao's actions are really a bit unfounded, after all, the Mongols only recently suffered a secret loss in Xiangyang City and retreated, and now the Houjin army in Hebei and other places is entangled with Kouwen Buhua, and even the Song people and Jin people in the Central Plains of Shandong and other places are also a little impatient, how can the Mongols have any energy to manage the Great Song Dynasty?

"Hehe, what the saint wants most, I don't need to say it from Shi Xian, I think the two adults are also clear. Why did my Great Song Dynasty have to wait for the Mongols to take the initiative to go south? Passive beating? The two capitals of Luoyang and Kaifeng, the fertile soil of thousands of miles in the Central Plains, are the ancestral industry of my Great Song Dynasty, but now they are all trampled by the Mongols, why is this? What is the use of the Korean and Central clans, the Rigaku faction, and the rest of the factions, which are in endless disputes? If the Great Song Dynasty can last for thousands of years, it would be good, if there is really a day when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, how will the history books of later generations comment on the present? Is it a verbal and written stench for 10,000 years, or a stroke of light as a feather? ”

Jia Yidao knew that it was impossible to convince Shi Songzhi and Zheng Qingzhi without any evidence, and the only thing he could do was to throw out something that the two of them really cared about to impress the two of them, and it would be good to follow Qiao Xingjian to cooperate with him in the next few years.

In fact, Jia Rudao had already made up his mind for a long time. For a few years, as long as he felt that the time had come, even if the Mongols did not go south, he would try his best to encourage Zhao Yun to go north.

Luoyang and Kaifeng will always be a lingering nightmare in the hearts of Zhao Yun and even everyone in the Song Dynasty. If you don't say it, it doesn't mean that you don't want to, it's just because the Great Song Dynasty doesn't have that strength.

Hearing Jia Rudao's words, Shi Songzhi and Zheng Qingzhi's faces changed in unison.

Only then did they understand that Jia Rudao took the initiative to go south to Guangdong, not because he wanted to jump out of the whirlpool of Lin'an City to protect himself, but because he didn't want to waste time fighting in Lin'an City.

Verbal criticism and writing for 10,000 years? A stroke is as light as a feather?

This is indeed a problem.

The two of them also knew that Jia Rudao still had one sentence to say, that is, the history of the famous Fang Baiming. And this is also what every reader, especially the reader in a high position, wants the most.

"I don't want anything else, I just hope that the two adults can give a few years to the Dao, and one qiē and one qiē can be seen and distinguished within a few years. What will happen when the time comes, even if you don't talk about it, with the minds and eyes of the two adults, you will naturally see what all the preparations that seem to be made by the Tao now. It seems that the way is here, please two adults! ”
