Ouyang Xiu said that he needed 20,000 soldiers, and Chen Yuan said that he wanted 5,000, because Ouyang Xiu didn't know that Chen Yuan now had a very special type of troops in his hands that could be used, that is, those musket teams that had already been formed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This unit was one of the earliest units of the New Army, but they never went to the battlefield because Chen Yuan was not satisfied with the lethality of the muskets.

But this time in the battle of Hejian Mansion, the villagers used dense muskets to inflict huge casualties on the Liao, which made Chen Yuan realize that maybe the muskets were not accurate enough and the loading was a little cumbersome, but his firing distance farther than a bow and crossbow was an incomparable advantage in itself.

It is already possible to achieve that effect by those non-professional villagers, and if it is done by the musket team formed by themselves, I believe that it is at least much stronger than those villagers.

The combat effectiveness of the Dongying people was already a cut behind the Song army, and the current so-called Dongying troops were even more unbearable than before, and Chen Yuan wanted to use them to temper this army.

The Toei could only show superiority in front of the so-called Tsushima people, because the Tsushima army was even more unbearable than them.

Chen Yuan would not really build an army for Tsushima that could be conquered. Maybe in the future they will have a qualified army, or even a super-first-class army. That was after they threw themselves into the arms of the Great Song Dynasty, decades, or even hundreds of years, when they spoke Chinese in their mouths, they all thought they were Song people, and the pure Yamato ethnic blood completely disappeared.

When Renzong heard that Chen Yuan did not plan to go to Liao again, but went to Dongying, he was really a little stunned, and his expression actually showed a trace of loss.

It is the wish of the current stage to completely solve the affairs of the Liao State, and the process is destined to be long, and Renzong cannot always be on the front line in person, but he hopes that he can personally solve the problems of the Liao State.

In a sense, he now treats Chen Yuan as one of his hands, hoping that this hand can help him do something that he wants to do, but can't spare his hands to do.

The affairs of the Liao State had been planned by Chen Yuan a long time ago, and although there were many situations that they did not expect, in the end they were still developing in the way they wanted. Renzong wanted Chen Yuan to continue and finish this matter.

"Shimei, if you go to Tsushima, what should be the affairs of Liao? Wen Yanbo's talent is far inferior to yours, and although the current situation is developing smoothly, once there are variables, I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with it. ”

Renzong didn't have a flattery in it, but because he didn't compliment, the vanity in Chen Yuan's heart was greatly satisfied. However, Renzong's idea is unacceptable, Chen Yuan never thought that he was irreplaceable, because those irreplaceable heroes of previous dynasties often had no good results.

The Great Song Dynasty is now a period of transformation, and it is completely different from the historical Great Song Dynasty that Chen Yuan is familiar with, what will be the situation of the Song Dynasty ten years later? No one can see clearly. At this time, irreplaceable is even more dangerous, especially when the emperor thinks he is irreplaceable.

"Long live, in fact, Master Wen and Wechen solve things in different ways, although Wechen can always be opportunistic, but he does things more steadily. If the affairs of the Liao State are handed over to him and General Di Qing, there will definitely be no difference. ”

Renzong shook his head: "I think there's nothing wrong with letting Ouyang Xiu do Dongying's affairs." ”

"Long live the wise, Dongying's affairs are now a matter of course, as long as the Song army lands, quell the rebellion, and turn it into the four states of the Great Song Dynasty, it will be a very simple matter, however, Weichen thinks that there are still many things to do if you want to let the Dongying people completely return to their hearts, pave the way for Goryeo after the future, and find a suitable template. Wechen is bold, please let Wechen go in person. ”

Renzong was still a little hesitant: "You, how long will it take this time?" ”

"A year, within a year, the minister will inevitably re-establish a system there."

At the beginning, Chen Yuan's policy in Tsushima was to beat the Dongying people to death with a stick, which was a means to deal with the enemy, and when it really came time to turn it into the four states of the Great Song Dynasty, it was a little too much to say that such a system was applied.

However, you can't apply all the laws and mechanisms of the Great Song Dynasty at once, and return all your freedom to those small books. There had to be a set of applicable policies of excess, that is, to ensure that special means could be used to suppress possible outbreaks of resistance if necessary, and to make those people feel that the Song dynasty was not bullying them.

This policy must also be able to ensure that it and the Great Song Dynasty can be smoothly integrated after a few years.

At the same time, policies alone are far from sufficient, cultural and people-to-people exchanges must begin in a big way, and a large-scale migration of the population is necessary. This is another reason why Chen Yuan let the Dongying people die so much.

Dongying's population of 10 million people is now only about 2 million. There are countless adults or half-grown children who died on the battlefield, those who were slaughtered, and those who died in the mines of the Song people.

And Chen Yuan's village security system restricted the reproductive rights of Dongying women, and at the same time, there were countless Dongying women who were pulled by Chen Yuan to Qinglou all over the Great Song Dynasty by sea boat, which made Dongying very few newborns in recent years.

Now the entire Great Song Dynasty knows that the master of the horse has two silver mines in Tsushima, one of which produces real silver, which is pulled by a boat and forged into the official silver of the Song Dynasty. The other is these Dongying women, with the wave of rich people in the Great Song Dynasty buying Dongying women has become a fashion, a slightly more beautiful Dongying woman can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.

Of course, when it became the four states of the Great Song Dynasty, this system would no longer be used, and this kind of trade could no longer be done.

Renzong saw that Chen Yuan wanted to go very much, and he didn't use his authority to suppress him. He dared to reuse Chen Yuan because Renzong knew that Chen Yuan had ideals, and as long as he could help him realize his ideals, he would always be loyal to himself.

Chen Yuan's ideal can be infinitely large, one realization and the next one, it doesn't matter, Renzong's current ambition is also infinite, and one realization will have the next.

"Okay, you can go for a trip, but get me some silver before you go."

Chen Yuan smiled: "Yes, long live, do you have any thoughts if you want silver?" ”

Renzong wants silver, naturally it will not be a decimal, and he will not open his mouth if it is a small amount. And a large number means that Renzong has to make a big move.

"Well, I have already ordered Yang Wenguang to form a cavalry team, doesn't the Liao State have 300,000 cavalry? I'm going to make 400,000! I have already discussed the issue of horses with the Uighurs and the Tibetans, and they are willing to provide us with horses. This time, I have also laid a grassland, and our Great Song Dynasty will also build its own horse farm! ”

Renzong was very excited when he said this, the biggest flaw of the Song army was that they did not have a horse farm, and after Shi Jingjiao Yanyun gave the thirteen states to the Liao State, the Han people lost their traditional place to put horses. If Zhao Kuangyin also had a large-scale cavalry team at the beginning, the fight against the Liao State might not have been delayed for so long.

"You go for a year, and when you come back, I want you to see my cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Renzong's tone was excited, and Chen Yuan was also very happy, which was a good thing. The current Song army is strong, but the hands of the Song army are too short, which is extremely unfavorable for establishing the authoritative position of the Song army in the alliance in the future, if the vassal country is bullied in the future, or someone in the middle of the alliance fights, people invite the Song army to go over, you walk on two legs for more than half a year, and when you get there, the daylily is cold.

And the meaning of cavalry and infantry is completely different, you have two million infantry, which means that no one can beat you, but if you have half a million cavalry, it means that you can go and fight someone else at any time.

The feeling of bullying people is really refreshing, and Renzong has a deep understanding of this. The creation of cavalry was an urgent matter.

Even if Renzong doesn't bring it up, Chen Yuan plans to implement it when he comes back: "Long live the wise, this money is out of the minister, long live rest assured, even if you go to Dongying this time, even if you empty the minister's silver mine, you will definitely meet the needs of Long live." ”

Renzong smiled: "Don't worry, you won't run out of money." By the way, Shimei, this morning Mu Guiying wrote to resign, saying that she is old and wants to quit the army, what do you think of this matter? ”

Mu Guiying wants to resign? After a little thought, Chen Yuan immediately understood the truth. Mu Guiying is smart, Renzong was named as the commander of the three armies when he drove the expedition in person, and after he came back, he didn't take off this hat, and now he proposed to personally serve as the principal of the military academy, and everyone can see the determination to master military power.

This is a good thing for those grassroots martial artists, but for Mu Guiying, it means that she has to make a choice.

The Yang family was once a banner of the Song army, and now Renzong is going to erect a new banner, and the Yang family will either put away their battle flag or continue to carry it, so that Renzong will put it away for them sooner or later.

Mu Guiying made a very wise choice, Renzong obviously accepted this matter, thinking that he asked Yang Wenguang to form a cavalry, just to give the Yang family some compensation to some extent.

It's just that the reputation of the Yang family is too great, and now they have just won the Liao State, if they are put away like this, even if it is something you are willing to do, in the eyes of those ordinary people, it is inevitable that there will be some taste of birds hiding in it.

Therefore, Renzong still has to make a settlement for Mu Guiying.

But how to place it is a difficult problem. Mu Guiying is a woman, it is not suitable for the court at all, and her grade is too high, she really can't be promoted anymore. Even if it's just a reputation promotion, it's not enough, and if you take another step to promote, Renzong will let the commander of the three armies sit just right for her.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment: "Long live, the minister thinks that it is better to let Marshal Mu lead the troops." ”

Renzong was stunned for a moment: "And let her lead the troops?" ”

"Set up a special unit for her, specifically accept female soldiers, the generals of this unit also appoint female generals, and they will be used on the battlefield, you might as well give them a higher grade, long live rest assured, those men under your command will not care."

Renzong laughed: "I knew you could think of a way!" Okay, I am a good person to the end, this army is called the Yang family female soldiers, so that the widows of the Yang family also know that I have not forgotten them. ”
