[I have something to go out on Sunday, and the first shift in the evening will probably be until the early hours of the morning. Please forgive me. 】

Han Gang's voice gradually disappeared between the beams and pillars.

No one could have imagined that Han Gang would put the change of tactics on the table just to transfer troops from Kansai.

The so-called change of garrison means that the forbidden army changes the location of the garrison year by year, and it is generally from the capital to the border state in rotation. This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

At the time of the Five Dynasties, Jiedu envoys were in charge of the local military and political power, and large and small armies each occupied a piece of territory and collected taxes to support themselves. has his own financial power, and of course he can not obey the orders of the court. In view of this, Zhao Kuangyin's response is two methods, one is to not be a private army, and the other is to change the army. Let the generals disassociate themselves from the army, and at the same time let the army have nothing to do with the locality.

Since then, the world has no longer been chaotic for five generations. It's just that as the time of Chengping gets longer and longer, the negative effects of the two ancestral methods are getting bigger and bigger.

Will not be private, let the leading generals focus on how to find a good position for themselves, instead of working hard to train soldiers.

With the rapid expansion of the number of forbidden troops, the country's financial resources can no longer be supported, and gradually, there are more and more forbidden troops in the name of stationing and eating. By now, it has long ceased to be in practice for many years - even the old party, which has been shouting about the law of restoring the ancestors, has not seen many people want to restore the law.

"If you do more, where will the money and food come from, and the forbidden army will be on the road for half a year. How much time do you have to defend in the border state camp? Wu Chong asked.

"I didn't say that I wanted to take all the rounds, in the four roads in Hebei, each chose one or two generals. Among the Beijing camps, 15,000 to 20,000 soldiers were also selected to go to Shaanxi to defend for two years. With such a transfer, the consumption of money and food is not large, and it can train a military force worthy of a war for Beijing and Hebei. ”

Han Gang said to Zhao Ji, "The minister also suggested before that the generals who were disabled by the war should be gathered together and used to train the soldiers. One was trained in battle in Guanxi, and the other was left in the station, taught by the old soldiers to fight, and in a few years, they were able to train a group of elite soldiers who could defeat the enemy and win in Hebei and Beijing camps. ”

Zhao Ji nodded lightly, even if it is impossible to return to the world in a short period of time, the workaround given by Han Gang can be implemented quickly.

If it's just that the Western Army is strong, how can the emperor not worry? Be sure to mix water with sand. Now that Han Gang has put his words down, of course Zhao Ji wants to turn his hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops into a tiger and wolf army like the Western Army - he also plans to recover Lingxia and Yanyun!

Han Gang's words also defused Feng Jing's attack invisibly. What about his good popularity in the Western Army and his good relationship with young and promising generals, what he is showing now is a selfless attitude, considering the entire Great Song Dynasty, and not only looking at the interests of the Western Army.

"Let's talk about the transfer of troops to the south." Han Gang's previous words had already allowed him to control the dominance of the direction of discussion in the hall, "For the Hebei Army, the transfer to the south and the transfer to Guanxi, although they are also transfers, the difference is not small. There is a miasma in the south, and you have to attack the Jiaozhi army that is waiting for you, and you can go to Kansai as long as you defend the city, and you don't have to worry about the epidemic. If you ask the Hebei Army, most of them will choose to go to Kansai. This is the method of going up and down. It is easy to defend the city in the west, but it is difficult to attack thieves in the south. The western army went south, and then transferred the Hebei army to the west, although there was a detour in the middle, but it was more appropriate than directly transferring the Hebei army. ”

After Han Gang finished speaking, he asked Wu Chong with a sincere smile: "I don't know if Wu Shumi thinks there is anything wrong?" ”

The expression on Wu Chong's face did not waver at all, but the tumor under his neck that became blood-red secretly revealed the anger in his heart.

But it was not Wu Chong who opened his mouth to question, but Wang Shao, who was standing at the head of Wu Chong: "The situation in Hebei is difficult to know, but if the Jingying Forbidden Army is allowed to fight in Guanxi, there may be complaints in the army, and it will even make Jinggi unstable." ”

Wang Shao's words made everyone stunned, why did he suddenly sing a reverse tune to Han Gang?

"So this trend must be reversed, since you are eating the court's food, how can there be any reason not to serve the court?"

Han Gang replied, and everyone in the hall could see that Wang Shao was helping Han Gang plug the leak in advance. It worked really well. Wu Chong's eyes were cold.

I saw that the deputy privy envoy who personally promoted Han Gang said: "In case there are traitors with treacherous intentions and secretly spreading rumors, I am afraid that it will lead to rebellion." This matter should not be left unattended. ”

Han Gang disagreed. The soldiers disobeyed orders, had their own military laws, caused chaos by traitors, and there were also court laws. If you are worried about the instability of Beijing, it is okay to add one, and if you don't want to go to Kansai to defend it, you can ask yourself to surrender to the Xiang army and wait for the call. Han Gang sneered, "You can't take the money of the forbidden army, but you don't do what the forbidden army should do, right?" I don't know if the deputy cardinal thinks Han Gang is right? ”

Wang Shao smiled slightly and stopped talking. He sang with Han Gang, and one step ahead blocked the possibility that someone was secretly haunting ghosts.

"If anyone disobeys orders or misleads the people, he should be severely punished!" Lu Huiqing asked at this time, "However, it will take a month to transfer troops from Hebei to Guanxi, and then transfer troops from Guanxi to Lingnan, even if the second half of the journey will take nearly two months, and it will be the end of the winter month at that time." After arriving in Yongzhou, I had to rest for another half a month. I don't know if it's time to send troops. ”

"Transferring troops to the south is not to empty all the soldiers and horses, but the affairs of thirty or forty commanders are distributed among the walled cities on the border of the western part of the Kansai. Even if all of them are transferred, it will not affect the Kansai defense line in the short term. If it is a batch transfer, there will be no problem. ”

Han Gang said his plan, "You can first start from Qinfeng and Jingyuan, select five thousand elites to go south from Baoji, and take a boat all the way from the Jialing River to Guangxi, as long as forty days is enough." When the reinforcements from Jingying Hebei arrived in Kansai, the second and third groups went south one after another. The elite who arrived early could first sweep the Jiaozhi border, and when the whole division arrived, they could attack Thang Long Mansion in one fell swoop. ”

As long as Han Gang can mobilize the Western Army to the south, as for what happens next, he doesn't care. Anyway, in the final analysis, it is just a slogan, to endorse one's own plan, and it is best to succeed, not to succeed. At the beginning, it was because of the lack of money and food that the arrogant and lazy people stopped. Even if it is only a part of the elite rotation, it is impossible to prepare without a year or two.

The Zaizhi all left, and only Han Gang was left behind.

Whether or not the method of changing the law will be re-implemented in the world, of course, there will not be a result in the side hall of the Wuying Palace, but Han Gang's goal has been achieved. Zhao Ji had already ordered the Privy Council to select the first batch of men and horses to go south within two days, and made it clear that Wang Shao was in charge of this matter. With Wang Shao here, presumably the elite commanders of Qin Feng and Jingyuan will be selected, and Han Gang doesn't need to worry about someone indiscriminately filling him.

Zhao Ji walked silently around the topographical map of the South China Sea that had just been made, and paced silently.

Han Gang lowered his eyes, clasped his hands in his sleeves, and waited for Zhao Ji's speech.

"Han Qing," after an unknown amount of time, Zhao Ji finally spoke, "The matter of Yongzhou, thanks to the presence of the Qing family, otherwise I don't know how long the Nanguo group will underestimate China." ”

"When it is the blessing of His Majesty's holy virtue, and thanks to Su Ziyuan's loyalty and filial piety, how can he convince Huang Jinman in one fell swoop? If there are no 5,000 soldiers and horses full of gold, and only 800 Jingnan elite soldiers, it is just a drop in the bucket for Yongzhou. And if there is no golden defection, Li Changjie will not divide his troops to monitor the remaining three Guangyuan barbarian armies. Han Gang said very seriously, "In the first battle of Yongzhou, the officers and soldiers all fought against Li Changjie, who tied his hands and feet, so it was easy to win. If all the soldiers were replaced by official troops, if they wanted to break the invading Jiaozhi and Guangyuan coalition forces of as many as 80,000 people, at least 10,000 elites would be enough. ”

Han Gang's words were also explained in his previous recital, and now in front of the Son of Heaven, he still maintains the same attitude.

Zhao Ji appreciates this aspect of Han Gang. He never exaggerates his own merits, and often blames them on others, or even rewards them on dung. Maybe it's because of the lack of desire and rigidity, such a Han Gang can make many meritorious achievements. And with such a character, Han Gang doesn't need to bully the king, and he can tell the truth about everything.

After taking two steps, Zhao Yan suddenly sighed again, "Wang Yan is a pity." Talented and capable, and young, I am ready to use it in the future. ”

Hearing Zhao Ji mention Wang Yan, Han Gang's expression darkened.

Zhao Ji looked back at Han Gang and said with a smile: "Han Qing is also young, two years younger than me. Now that Cao Si has been sentenced, in the future, as Master Han Tai exemplified, it is not difficult to enter the two mansions just after the ceremony. ”

"The minister was born in a poor family, but his majesty was simply pulled out of the grass. If there is no majesty and does not reuse, how can the minister be today. ”

Zhao Ji smiled indifferently. Being able to specifically promote Hangang to become an official has always been a proud thing in Zhao Ji's heart. If Han Gang is allowed to go directly to the Jinshi examination, maybe it will be difficult to even lift people now. And without Han Gang, many things would be different.

"Han Qing, do you know what I want in my life?" Zhao Ji pressed the table where the sand table was placed, looked down at the mountains and rivers that belonged to him, and asked himself, "It's to watch the soldiers and rejuvenate the spirit, and it's to recover Yanyun!" The two captives stole the land of China, asking for money and food every year, and I am the lord of the world, but I have to suffer his humiliation every day! ”

Han Gang bowed behind Zhao Ji and saluted, and his tone was passionate: "Although the minister is not talented, he is willing to sweep away the four razors with His Majesty, restore the old frontier of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and let the people of the world enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world!" ”

When he came out of the temple, it was already a bright lamp. Zhao Ji was in the side hall of Wuying Palace, and when he looked at the world that belonged to him, he couldn't help but say a lot of ambitions.

Regain Lingxia, recover Yanyun, restore the old frontier of the Han and Tang Dynasties, no longer need to pay New Year's coins, and no longer recognize the poor relatives of the Khitan. As the Son of Heaven, it is normal for him to have this dream, as for whether he can do it, that is another question.

However, at present, the country's strength is recovering and the military is booming, and it is indeed close to Zhao Ji's dream.

The goal pursued since childhood is getting closer and closer, and Zhao Ji naturally will not let people or things stop him. All the obstacles that stand in the way of his dream of becoming a rich country and a strong soldier will be cleared by him. If Wu Chong delayed at this juncture, his privy envoy would also do it.

However, Zhao Ji's words also seem to have another deep meaning.

Han Gang looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, he was indeed too young. Merely...... So what?!
