At the first court meeting of the third year of Wenchang, under the full facilitation of Yang Yi, the imperial court passed a court agreement authorizing Chong Jianzhong to unite the Xizhou Uighurs, Yellow Uighurs, Caotou Tatars, Tubo Achaibu, Qiangtang Ministry, and Tusi Ma Bu to strike an all-out blow at the Black Khanate. c。 m

In order to achieve the goal of a quick victory, he also equipped Chong Jianzhong with a thousand flintlock pistols.

The production of flintlock pistols has always been a problem, as most of the process is hand-polished, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive;

The daily output of the Great Song Dynasty was only thirty or fifty, and in order to avoid the hidden danger of being heavy on the outside and light on the inside, most of the flintlock pistols produced were equipped with the army of Gyeonggi.

The border army is rarely equipped with such a sharp weapon at present.

It is already very rare to be able to get a thousand flintlock pistols at once.

Facts have proved that there is no Zhang Yi to express his support, and now Yang Yi is getting things done.

He first persuaded Cai Jing, Cai Jing was in charge of the money bags of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was most concerned about the trade on the Silk Road, and with the close relationship with Yang Yi, it was not difficult for Yang Yi to convince him.

This was followed by convincing Lin Xi.

even through Thirteen Niang, let Xu Jiang's favorite concubine Liang Panpan give Xu Jiang a blow;

And Xu Jiang has an advantage that he is soft on the inside and does not support the old and new party struggles;

Externally, it has always been extremely tough, even when Zhezong died, hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaoxia attacked the Great Song Dynasty, and General Xu also fought back with all his might, and never compromised with the outside world.

Now the Black Khan king Hassan is stinky and hard, calling himself "the protector of justice and religion", and threatening to go on a crusade;

It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

Xu will be under the lobbying of Yang Yi. I also think that the Black Khanate should be ruthless.

And Xu Jiang's thoughts are even darker than Yang Yi's, in his opinion, if he can fight, he will fight, and if he can't fight, he will retreat to Yumen Pass;

It is expected that Hassan, the king of the Black Khan, was not arrogant enough to dare to raise a national army to conquer the Great Song Dynasty.

As for the Uighurs in Western Prefecture and other provinces, if they were attacked by the Black Khanate, they would definitely have to be saved, but how to save them, there would be a lot of room for maneuver.

It would be a good thing if we could take this opportunity to let the Black Khan and the Xizhou Uighurs and other troops lose both.

In this heart. Xu Jiang also supported letting Chong Jianzhong go all out.

Moreover, Yang Yi mobilized his officials to support this matter, in fact, including Yin Hu Zongyue of Kaifeng Mansion, it was finally done.

This matter is of great significance to Yang Yi.

Although many policies were proposed by him in the past, they were implemented with the help of the power of Zhang Dian and Su Song;

This time can be said to be the first time that he has relied on his own strength to influence the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty.

This marked the formal formation of the mountain that belonged to him.

This time, Yang Yi showed his signboard, not on the spur of the moment;

Su Song's Zhishi made Yang Yi lose a backer. Since then, he has been thinking about it. I feel that now is the time to stand up and build a mountain on my own;

And if you want your signboard to be hard enough, you have to show it to others, so that don't understand that you have such strength and are worth relying on.

So this time he did not repeatedly lobby Zhang Dan, but contributed to it himself.

On the first day of the court meeting, the candidates for the April Enke chief examiner were also discussed, and the Empress Dowager Liu was willing to let Yang Yi be the chief examiner of Enke, but many officials objected and even began to attack Yang Yilai.

They think. Although Yang Yi is both civil and military, his moral prestige is insufficient;

Yang Yi took his son to the Daqing Hall to participate in the Zhengdan ceremony, which became the best material they used to attack, saying that Yang Yi was frivolous with Meng Lang.

The imperial examination is a national ceremony, solemn and sacred, and Yang Yi's virtue is not enough to serve as the chief examiner.

The matter was not settled for a while, but the matter was not too urgent. There are two months left until the Enko exam.

As far as Yang Yi himself is concerned, he wants to fight for this opportunity to take the main exam, and once he becomes the seat teacher of the new science and technology jinshi, it will be very beneficial to the future development of his network.

It's just that he also knows that he does lack some virtue. And these are accumulated by time, because he is not very concerned about striving to become the main examiner of this kind of Enke.

After the court meeting dispersed, as soon as he returned to the academy, Yang Yi immediately sent Ma Hanqing over.

Ma Hanqing knew that he must have something to say, and as soon as he entered Yang's detention room, he hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what the adults command?" ”

"Sit down." Yang Yi greeted and sorted out the matter in his heart.

This time, let Chong Jianzhong go all out, if the expected strategic purpose cannot be achieved, Yang Yi will have a lot to do with it;

Of course, if he wins, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance his prestige.

In the original history, when the Liao State died in the Jin State, Yelu Dashi led 20,000 or 30,000 horses and horses to be forced to turn westward to fight, and in the case of no backup, no territory, and no supplies, he destroyed the Black Khanate in one fell swoop, surrendered the Western Uighurs, and established the Western Liao Empire.

This shows that the Black Khanate of that period was actually vulnerable.

It's just that in terms of time, it is thirty years ahead of Yelu Dashi's westward expedition, and under the rule of the tough Hassan, the Eastern Black Khanate is probably not as corrupt as Yelu Dashi's westward expedition.

Looking at the Jianzhong side, Shazhou has more than 20,000 elite soldiers, equipped with 1,000 flintlock pistols, and after uniting with the Uighurs and other tribes in Xizhou, there are also tens of thousands of troops.

In Yang Yi's opinion, the abilities of Chong Jianzhong and Yao Gu should not be much worse than Yelu Dashi, and all Yang Yi dared to have high hopes for them.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, there are many accidental factors in the war, and Li Yuanhao relied on a sandstorm to help defeat Yelu Zongzhen's 200,000 army.

Therefore, in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, Yang Yi is still extremely cautious when it is not bad in terms of equipment and combat strength.

"Han Qing, you help me send a message to Chong Jianzhong, I will fully support him, help him solve all his worries, and at the same time, let him guarantee that before mid-April, this military operation will be completed, I don't ask if he wants to capture those cities, but the number of people who annihilate the Black Khan's army must not be less than 30,000, and give the Black Khan enough deterrence to force Hassan to bow his head."

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates immediately sent a message to the general."

"Remember, let him be sure to complete the set strategic goals by mid-April, because by then the Liao side is likely to have undergone great changes. The territory of the Liao State is thousands of miles, and it is not comparable to the Western Xia, and the war in the north is together, and the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to look westward, and once the troops of the Great Song Dynasty are dragged in the Liao State, it will be even more impossible to force Hassan to bow his head at that time. ”

"What else do you have to say?"

"The staff pavilion should fully cooperate with the construction of the plant to complete this military plan, and let the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism also cooperate to provide intelligence for the military operations of the Western Expedition."

"Yes."

After ordering this, Yang Yi could only wait patiently, hoping that the cultivation and construction would not disappoint.

Yang Yi then asked, "What is the new situation on the Liao side?" ”

"No, but the Khitan and the Divination Department are taking advantage of this winter to accumulate strength, Yelu Yanxi got 30,000 grenades, and it is even more determined to drive the expedition in person, once Liaodong thaws, there will definitely be a big war between the Liao State and the Divination Department."

"Han Qing, you must not take it lightly, no matter what, you must not let the Liao State achieve a big victory."

"My subordinates will do their best."
