Chapter 178: Can't let the Western Army cut off the incense

Zheng Zhi took the silk silk, looked at it for a moment, and frowned: "Why did most of the forbidden army disarm and return to the field, but the Xiang army did not move?" ”

Zheng Zhi saw the words on the silk in his hand, and he was really puzzled, from Qinfeng Road to Xihe Lanhuang, if all the forbidden army and the box army were added together, it would be close to 200,000. Among them www.biquge.info the Xiang army is the majority, the combat power is not strong, and a lot of food and salary are consumed, and the elite forbidden army is a small number of tens of thousands.

At this time, there was no war in the northwest, and although the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were for life, they also had to use indirect means to disarm and reduce military spending. This is also a reasonable thing, and it is also what the master is willing to see, but this order is too strange, most of the elite forbidden army is removed, and the bloated army is raised.

That would be unreasonable.

Seed Master Dao frowned and asked, "You really don't know what it means?" ”

Zheng Zhi was silent and did not answer, thinking for a moment, and he roughly knew the meaning of the court in his heart, but it was just that the birds were all over the place, and the good bow was hidden. The Northwest is a fierce general, with many generals and no enemies, which is a threat to the Zhao official family in Tokyo. The Great Song Dynasty has been like this since ancient times, from a glass of wine to Di Qing, where can the courtiers hold heavy troops.

The Great Song Dynasty recruited the Xiang army in order to unify the management of those displaced people who had no land and no means of livelihood to prevent changes. Naturally, the Xiang army cannot be dismantled, and if the Xiang army is abolished, these people who were originally ruffians and displaced people will enter a stable society again, and they will be an unstable factor.

Thinking about it like this, Zheng Zhi also understood the meaning of this silk silk from Tokyo.

"The Xiang army is bloated and useless and will not be withdrawn, and the forbidden army will not be left strong, can everyone in the Great Song Dynasty rebel?" Zheng Zhi was really angry in his heart. The elite forbidden army is gone, these experienced old army formations are gone, and the people who can ride horses and shoot arrows are gone.

In fact, in the hearts of Master Dao and Zheng Zhi, it is normal for the forbidden army to be reduced, but they really didn't expect to be reduced to such a point, even the brave incense can't be saved.

The seed master heard Zheng Zhi's words and shook his head, but he didn't say anything to scold, because Zheng Zhi said the words he didn't dare to say and said the feelings in his heart. Could it be that everyone in the Great Song Dynasty is going to rebel? The seed family is in charge of Qin Feng, can this kind of family still rely on a Qin Feng Road to rebel?

Although this kind of family has no intention of rebellion, but it is also Tokyo has to defend, tens of thousands of elite battle formations will not be withdrawn, so how can this Zhao Guan's family be safe, now the Northwest family is in full swing, this Northwest military and civilians at this time are quite a bit of a kind of public, I don't know the meaning of Tokyo Zhao Guan's family.

Zheng Zhi was angry for a moment, his thoughts changed, and he said: "Xianggong, there must be some countermeasures, and we can't let this Western army cut off the incense." The party members were defeated, but they did not perish. ”

Zheng Zhi's words are to the key, the party has not been extinguished, without the elite western army, how can the party people not have the idea of regaining the lost territory, even if the situation is weak, they will want to give it a try!

The seed master didn't answer, just nodded, this countermeasure is naturally there, there is a policy above, and there is a countermeasure below. The countermeasure is also simple, it is nothing more than to select young and elite soldiers from the forbidden army to be incorporated into the Xiang army. But it is also full of risks, this matter only needs someone to report to Tokyo, this kind of family minister jumped into the Yellow River and could not be washed, did not listen to the orders of the imperial court, and privately raised a large number of elite soldiers, not a thief but also a rebel.

The Seed Master Dao obviously hasn't made up his mind either, this matter is in a dilemma, and the Seed Master Dao obviously hasn't really made up his mind yet.

"You go to the camp first, Weizhou Qingzhou soldiers, you can take all those who want to go with you." The Seed Master said in a heavy tone.

"Xianggong, there should be a decision in this matter." Zheng Zhi said again. But Zheng Zhi didn't think much about the consequences of this countermeasure, and if he was not careful, the consequences were so serious that there was no more farming in the northwest.

The planter's face sank like water, and he said: "You go to your Cangzhou, this matter is very important, I should go to Qinzhou to see my father." ”

This matter is no longer Zheng Zhizhi's concern, what the situation is, the Seed Master Dao knows better than anyone else, in fact, there is no need for Zheng Zhi to remind him more. It's hard for a courtier to do, nothing more than that.

Even Tong Guan didn't think of these things, maybe he didn't think much about these things at all, at this time Tong Xianggong was already proud, Xixia had been defeated, and the Privy Council was also in hand, and now Tong Guan was already a hot figure in Tokyo.

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he only shook his head and retreated out of the door. When you enter the city, you will go to Jingluofu on a business trip, and it is time to go home at this time, and there is still trouble at home, which is the Li Shishi brought back from Tokyo.

Zheng Zhi hit the horse and went home, and Luda and the others had already taken Master Li to the house first.

Master Li was sitting in the hall of the middle courtyard at this time, feeling uneasy, although Master Li was used to seeing the scene, he was just a teenage girl.

In front of him sat Zheng Zhizheng's wife Xu, and there was a concubine standing next to Xu, and there was a birdie man who was a few months old in swaddling clothes.

Master Li sees Xu's dignified and Jin Cuilian lively.

Xu Shi can see Master Li's posture and scholarly temperament.

The three of them were looking at each other in their hearts, and they were also entangled in their hearts.

Luda and Shi Jin, who sent people in, naturally felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and only heard Luda pretend to be stupid and smiled: "Hehe... Sister-in-law, this is the girl of Master Li in Tokyo, my brother came back from Jingluo Mansion in a moment, and the camp was busy with affairs, so I went out with Da Lang first. ”

"The two uncles should go and get busy first." Xu naturally knew that Luda's words were pretexts, but this matter had nothing to do with the two.

Lu Dashi Jin was like being amnestied, walked out of the hall door in a few steps, and then out of the house, as if he was going to hide for a while, and wait for Zheng Zhi to come back.

Zheng Zhi hit his horse and returned, approaching the door, and heard Ruda shouting: "Brother, why did you come back." ”

Luda and Shi Jin rushed to the front from not far away. Zheng Zhi reined in the horse and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Luda wanted to speak and stopped, this kind of thing Luda really encountered for the first time in his life, Luda is obviously only good at dealing with those things that go straight to the bottom, such as white knives in and red knives out, encountering this kind of thing, it made this guy hesitate for the first time.

Seeing Luda like this, Shi Jin stepped forward and said, "Miss Li and her sister-in-law are at home. ”

Zheng Zhi's heart tightened when he heard this, and seeing the expressions and tones of the two of them, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, my sister-in-law also poured tea for Miss Li to eat." Shi Jin didn't know what to do, so he could only say this.

Zheng Zhi was relieved in his heart, thinking that something was wrong, but he could also guess that something was wrong. is also Zheng Zhi's heart is empty, this kind of thing is wrong, and he still has to bear it himself.

Hurriedly beat the horse and walked again, the horse's speed couldn't help but be a little faster, and at this time, he naturally couldn't care about the two brothers who followed with his legs behind.
