Chapter 282 Shaanxi Affairs [I]

Song Renzong said: "Now that the Western Xia thieves are powerful, we must strengthen the power of Shaanxi. I don't know what you Aiqing proposes to this? ”

This is probably Song Renzong's topic today!

Zhao Yu didn't speak, quietly watching how these people played. When Zhao Yu first arrived, the battle of Sanchuankou was all on paper, not to mention the current situation in Shaanxi. Without knowing the details, no matter what Zhao Yu made at this time, it seemed inappropriate.

Xia Shouyun was the first to say: "Official, in the Battle of Sanchuankou, our imperial court reported that the loss of troops was as high as tens of thousands of people!" Jin Mingqi is known as 100,000 soldiers, and there are countless small cities and towns that have been swept along the way. In the later battle of Sanchuankou, Shi Yuansun and Liu Ping led the southern troops of Yanzhou, Huanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, all of whom were killed or captured in this battle. At this moment, the Great Song Dynasty urgently needs to replenish the soldiers and horses! ”

More than 100,000 people?

Zhao Yu sneered in his heart, these words are just to scare people like Song Renzong! Zhao Yu has led troops, but I don't know how powerful more than 100,000 people are? If more than 100,000 people are really dispatched, then it will really fight a national war. Even if Zhao Yu is preparing to attack Vietnam, it is just training two new armies, cooperating with the soldiers and horses, and preparing to dispatch more than 10,000 people!

No matter how good it is, it is impossible for Western Xia to be so powerful. Besides, if Jin Mingqi really had 100,000 soldiers and horses, would he still be the barrier of the Great Song Dynasty? It has long replaced Western Xia and become the great enemy of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, he also knew that the reason why Xia Shouyun was so exaggerated was not to scare Song Renzong. It is true that the ministers of the court have an extreme hostility towards the army. You really open your mouth to the actual troops. Let's say in 10,000 soldiers. What really got in hand was probably two armies, and the forbidden army had never been satisfied, and the establishment of an army of 2,500 people was already thankful that there could be 2,000 people. If it is a cavalry army, if there can be 1,500 people, it is really the ancestral tomb that is smoking.

Therefore, the warriors of the Song Dynasty had to often exaggerate the number of enemies in order to ask for soldiers. That's how to ask for soldiers. This thing is still a dead end, and the more you exaggerate it, the more the doctor will give it to a small amount.

It's like Li Yuanhao entering Kouyan Prefecture this time, Zhao Yu is estimated to be more than 20,000 people! If it is true that when there are 100,000 people, are Shi Yuansun and Liu Ping fools? Dare to take 10,000 people to Yanzhou in a daze.

However, Song Renzong on the other end was stunned, and asked in a panic: "Wouldn't this send 100,000 forbidden troops to Shaanxi?" Where is there so much money and food from the imperial court? ”

Yan Shu, who was also sent to know the affairs of the Privy Council, coughed, and said hypocritically: "The officials don't need to be so alarmed, how can the barbarians be the opponent of my Chinese strong army?" is the so-called one Han enemy Wuhu, and the Western Xia is even more barbarian among the barbarians, and it is enough to send the strength of the seven or eight armies! ”

looked at the great poet in front of him. Zhao Yu was very strange, how could Song Renzong think of using Yan Shu as the Minister of Defense?

By the way, here. Why there are two Privy Councillors, that is, the Minister of Defense. Since Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng each beat fifty boards, Song Renzong felt that these guys under him could not be trusted. This Privy Council is the most important thing in the control of the nation's army!

Wouldn't it be dangerous if it was left in the hands of one person?

So Song Renzong thought of a compromise solution, the highest official of the Privy Council is the Privy Council, there is only one, that's good! I don't have one, not even a privy councillor. The Privy Council was originally established to allow officials who were not qualified but trusted by the emperor to be promoted. Holding the official rank of the second grade, he is doing the work of the privy envoy from the first rank.

Because it is not permanent, there is no restriction on the position, unlike the privy envoy, there is only one position, and Song Renzong is not easy to operate on this aspect.

Getting back to the point, Song Renzong listened to Yan Shu's words, and felt a little relieved, but he was not very relieved. Song Renzong is not stupid, he knows that Yan Shu is not so much knowing the affairs of the Privy Council, but rather a nail planted in the Privy Council by the scholar, telling him to recite poems and make it okay, so that he really knows the affairs of the army, which is probably the level of Zhao Kuo, and he can only talk on paper.

Don't say it, although Song Renzong is sometimes very cheating, he still has a good balance in his heart.

Song Renzong's eyes fell on Lu Yijian, although Lu Yijian was only a deputy minister, but Song Renzong knew that Lu Yijian didn't say anything else, but his ability to do practical things was at the level of the top in the Manchu Dynasty.

Song Renzong said: "Lu Aiqing, how many soldiers and horses do you think you should send?" ”

After listening to Song Renzong's question, Lu Yijian didn't have anything, but Xia Shouyun next to him looked at Lu Yijian with a pleading face. Big brother, you're going to have to pull your little brother! Otherwise, how would I survive in Yanzhou?

Lu Yijian did not directly ask how many soldiers and horses should be sent, but said with some questions: "When the minister heard about the Tang Dynasty. The state transports grain, to go through a section of the Yellow River in Shaanzhou into the customs, now this section of the Yellow River in Shaanzhou since the Tang Dynasty, has not been dredged, if you want to walk, I don't know how much it costs? ”

Xia Shouyun's face darkened, hello Lu Yijian! The old man remembers you, I can't imagine that you are a brother, usually called a brother, but at this time he stabbed me.

Song Renzong didn't know Lu Yijian's intentions, and asked, "I don't know how much the road will cost?" ”

Lu Yijian didn't answer by himself, but looked sideways at Song Shou, and said: "Gong Chui is from Henan Mansion, solve this Shaanzhou, he is much more clever than the old man in this regard!" The old man is not here to offer ugliness! ”

"The old man is polite!" Song Shou politely and politely.

"Well, Lu Aiqing is reasonable, Song Aiqing, it's up to you to answer this question!" Song Renzong's gaze fell on Song Shou, but his tone was a little unhappy, probably pushed around by Lu Yijian and them, and he was a little disgusted.

No one is a fool, Lu Yijian and they are pushing back and forth, how can Song Renzong not see it? Although I don't know why Lu Yijian, who is usually very neat, would do such a procrastination now, this does not prevent Song Renzong from having opinions.

Song Shou didn't speak fast, probably answering while thinking. "If it is transported to Jingzhao Mansion, it is estimated that the price is not too high, but when it comes to the area of Yanzhou and Yanzhou, I am afraid that it will be a high price, so the porter dares to go. After all, although the Western Xia retreated, after the soldiers, there were no homeless people who fell into the grass. Moreover, the Western Xia may have left a small number of rangers to harass me in the local spring ploughing of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

PS: The number of words is a little less, and there will be another update in the early morning! (To be continued......)
