Chapter 146: Harmonious Decision-Making

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The frost and dew of Chunxi's sixteenth year came a little earlier, and the weather was getting colder and colder, if it was this time last year, Zhao Yan would have made a charcoal fire in the palace, but this year Zhao Yan felt that his body was a little tougher than last year, as if he was not so afraid of the cold, so there was no charcoal fire in the palace at this time for heating.

I don't know if it's because I play badminton every day, or because I took giant calcium and recently took cod liver oil. Anyway, my waist is not sore, my legs are not painful, and I am fragrant to eat.

Zhao Yan's eyes were not very good a few years ago, but Zhao Yan sent glasses from Kaohsiung, plus a magnifying glass, with these two tools, it is not difficult to read the newspaper every day.

If you want to say that it is better to have a telescope, today I personally watched the effect of the cannon test firing in the telescope, the effect is really not covered, under the bombardment of the cannon, a bunch of pigs were bombarded to the flesh and blood, the situation is simply miserable, the power of the cannon has also been tried on the strong cattle and horses, it seems that no matter how strong the life, under the bombardment of the cannon, the resistance is very pitiful.

Zhao Yan has not seen this kind of bloody scene for a long time, this time the bloody scene is out of Zhao Yan's imagination, originally after the death of Gaozong, Zhao Yan recited Buddha every day, and even taboo killing scenes, even if it is killing a chicken. But this imaginary bloody scene made Zhao Yan addicted in his heart, and after Zhao Yan watched it, he was even more excited.

It was in such an excited mood that Zhao Yan convened a meeting at the top level of the Great Song Dynasty.

This time there were a lot of things to decide, as if they were all rushing together, as if everything was urgent.

Speaking of which, there are three major events.

The first thing is the copper coin war strategy with Jin Guo, Mao Geng reported a set of plans, which were agreed by Zhao Luan Han Yanxuan including 6 Jiuyuan, but this plan looks a little unbelievable, whether the court wants to adopt it or not, you must carefully discuss and come up with an opinion.

The second is the mining of Yongping copper mine in Jiangxi, and Mao Geng also added 6 Jiuyuan, and mentioned that yì sent the box army to mine, and mentioned that yì was fully presided over by Xin Qiji.

The third thing is who to send to Kaohsiung to lead the troops to practice artillery warfare.

The second thing is actually closely related to the first thing.

Zhao Tuan, who was in the midst of excitement, seemed to be more enthusiastic about the third thing:

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to what you have seen, who is it better for those sent to Taiwan for military training?"

Some of them slandered in their hearts, aren't you all set on the official family? Who else but Yue Ju!

"The official family summoned Yue Ju the day before yesterday, and according to what Weichen saw, Yue Ju is the best candidate." It is not surprising that Stay said so.

After Yue Ju is Yue Fei, it was inconvenient for others to beak, but the crown prince Zhao Dian stood up and expressed his opinion:

"Yue Ju is certainly a good candidate, but since my father has set the Northern Expedition plan, the son thinks that he might as well send more potential generals to go, in the past, the three major generals in Shu were in Sichuan and Shaanxi to resist the Jin soldiers, and it was a good story for a while, and when the Three Kingdoms were spoken, Liu Bei had five tiger generals, I went to the Northern Expedition, and I was suffering from the lack of generals, in the opinion of the sons, I might as well send more generals to Kaohsiung to practice artillery warfare, temper each other, healthy competition, if you can achieve the three major generals, five tiger generals, then it is very good!"

This sounds high-sounding, but it makes a lot of sense, but in fact, Zhao Dian has another meaning, that is, to mix sand, in short, Zhao Ju can't easily control the situation, Yue Ju is loyal, and he will definitely not make trouble for Zhao Lu, but it may not be the case if he is someone else.

Zhao Tuan listened to what Zhao Dian said, and was immediately attracted by this argument.

Reasonable!

There has been no war for almost 30 years, and Li Xianzhong, a famous general who could fight with Jin Bing at that time, has died for more than ten years, and Li Bao has also passed away. What's more, there are lessons in history that have been talked about on paper, and now there has been no war for a long time, and it is really difficult to verify who is the generation of famous generals who can really surprise the field.

But the children of Jiangmen have not been in actual combat, and I really don't know if there will be a paper talker like Zhao Kuo.

To be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the most difficult thing is to select military generals, in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, which emphasizes literature and light military force, there is a complete system for the selection of civil officials, and there is no threat to the civil government of the Great Song Dynasty. But the selection of generals is difficult, according to the teachings of the ancestors, not only to select a good general, but also to guard, to come at a moment's notice, to be able to fight, after the battle and obediently hand over the military power, unload the armor and return to the field, regardless of the government.

To be honest, it is really rare to choose a military general who meets all the conditions in this world.

Let's talk about martial arts, originally I figured out guò martial arts to select a group of generals, but the result was quite disappointing. Since Jiang Bohu, who won the martial arts champion, insisted on changing to a civilian position, Zhao Tuan almost lost confidence in the selection of generals in martial arts.

The talented people in the Great Song Dynasty seem to have the problem of being afraid of death, well, at least they are cowardly, and this Jiang Bohu is just one of the typical examples.

Compared with the selection of generals in martial arts, Zhao Tuan believes that the children of the generals will at least not be afraid of the battlefield, and they have the blood of fighting bravely and killing the enemy passed down from their ancestors, so no matter how talented they are, at least they will not be afraid to fight. Of course, this is Zhao Tuan's idea, and this is also the reason why Zhao Tuan highly delegated power to Wu Ting and appointed the children of the Guo family as generals.

It was for the same reason that this time Zhao Tuan originally planned to send Yue Ju to Kaohsiung to lead the troops to practice artillery tactics and train an elite army. In other words, Yue Ju, the grandson of the Yue family, does not seem to be inconspicuous, but his sincerity cannot be doubted, but he does not have the charm of Yue Fei back then. is really uncertain about whether Yue Ju can become a generation of famous generals.

In short, the general must be loyal, brave and strategic, which is related to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, and the selection of the general must not be careless. However, no one is perfect, and in line with the principle of loyalty first, it is understandable to send Yue Ju over.

But if you look at it from a higher perspective, Yue Ju can hardly be said to be the best candidate. Therefore, Zhao Dan's mention of yì cannot but be said, it is still very attractive. The Great Song Dynasty lacks generals, this is already the consensus of the imperial court, if there are three generals or five tiger generals, wouldn't it be the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty!

Ge Yi has always been very supportive, so he stood up at this time and said:

"Qiyu official, I have not used troops for a long time, the Northern Expedition on another day, and I urgently need a group of generals who can conquer and fight habitually, and the minister dares to ask His Majesty to plan for the Great Song Dynasty, take advantage of this good opportunity to choose more generals to go, in order to have a general to stand out from it. What's more, the cannon is an unprecedented divine soldier, after having the cannon, how to deal with the enemy, there is no certain rule, but also need to grope from the training, widely select the generals, by their own intentions, each show their magical powers, carefully practice several sets of artillery tactics, this is not a bad plan for the imperial court. ”

Ge Aiqing's words are reasonable. So, based on what you Aiqing sees, which generals can be selected? ”

"Lao Chen thinks that Guo Ni can be counted as one." , a child of the Guo family, Guo Ni is one of the best, known as a proficient reader of military books, full of wisdom, and a strong advocate of the Northern Expedition, Zhou Bida thinks it is worth cultivating.

"Erchen thinks that Wu Xi is also a disciple of Jiangmen, and he is very courageous, so he can also give it a try."

In Zhao Di's eyes, Wu Xi is very smart, but he is extremely restless, difficult to control, and not very virtuous, so he just asked this person to give Zhao Yan a headache.

Liuzheng has always advocated limiting the power of the Wu family, and when he heard Zhao Dan's recommendation, he hurriedly objected:

"Wu Ting is already in a high position, and he commands one side in Sichuan. The minister thought that Wu Xi could no longer be granted military power, and the minister was afraid that it would endanger the community. ”

This could not be more explicit, which made Zhao Tuan frown slightly.

Zhao Dan said:

"I heard that Wu Xi has been moving around recently and intends to return to Sichuan, may I ask Lord Liu, what is the imperial court doing about this? The meaning of taking care of the adults is that they can't let him go back to Sichuan! ”

"Yes, in the opinion of the minister, Wu Xi should not be allowed to return to Sichuan."

"Wu Xi wants to return to Sichuan, but the court won't let him, how does Wu Ting feel? It is obvious that the court is suspicious! The monarch and the ministers suspected that it was a lose-lose situation, the Wu family lost, and the court did not win. In another way, if Wu Xi is selected to go to Kaohsiung, it is to reuse Wu Xi, the Wu family should be grateful, Wu Xi is far away in Taiwan, Wu Ting will be more loyal to the king, if he gets a good general, it will be the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty. It can be seen that trapping Wu Xi in Lin'an may cause suspicion and disgust, which is a lose-lose situation, and on the contrary, sending Wu Xi to Taiwan is a win-win situation. Therefore, the son has this mentions, and asks his father to decide. ”

Zhou Bida also felt that staying in front of the Wu family was a bit too much, and the newspapers all reported that Wu Xi intended to return to Sichuan, and Wu Xi's move was indeed a little excessive, which was a mentally retarded move in politics. But if you have to trap Wu Xi in Lin'an, there is indeed something wrong. Besides, the cannon-level weapon should be mastered by more people, so he stood on Zhao Dan's side.

Zhao Tuan weighed it, and suddenly thought of Mao Geng from the matter of the Wu family, to say that to guard against the Wu family, Mao Geng seems to need more precautions, Mao Geng can make a great contribution, but once there is a problem, its danger is also great, from this point of view, it is extremely necessary to send more soldiers and horses to Taiwan. And sending more generals to go, it is logical to send more troops, and the goal of the army to go to Taiwan Island will be achieved without showing the mountains and water.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Tuan immediately expressed his position and changed the original plan of selecting Yue Ju to the plan of selecting three generals at the same time, and Yue Ju, Guo Ni and Wu Xi were stationed in Taiwan with the task of training troops!

After this matter was decided, Zhao Tuan felt a sense of relief, and the three generals came out together, which can be called to release the goodwill of the court to all parties and create a harmonious atmosphere. And the deep meaning can only be tasted by yourself.

Zhao Tuan immediately thought that he should also give Mao Geng a sweet date, so he said:

"Mao Geng's strategy to deal with the copper coin war, I thought it was worth a try after several considerations. The imperial court minted copper coins, and made a copper coin and lost one, while the Jin State did not make copper coins, and only relied on plundering the copper coins of our Great Song Dynasty. If this disadvantage is not eliminated for a day, it will eventually leave a disaster to my Great Song Dynasty, and the harm will be endless. However, the matter is too high to be careless, so the imperial court must send personnel to monitor and deal with discords at any time, so as to promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages. ”

Letting the SAR try it first is a prudent way to try radical currency reform, and it is not just to take care of Mao Geng.

Zhao Tuan swept everyone, then looked at Zhou Bida and asked:

"Zhou Aiqing, who do you think can take on this role?"

Zhou Bida thought about it, and after a while, he remembered a candidate, and recommended it at the moment:

"The old minister thinks that Ye Shi is competent."

As a result, Ye Shi turned into a messenger who monitored the reform of the currency system in the Special Administrative Region.

As for the matter of summoning Xin Qiji out of the mountain to preside over mining and smelting, the lead mountain where Yongping is located is near Xin Qiji's current residence in Shangrao, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one step away. Gunpowder mining can only be implemented by the military, and Mao Geng's plan to focus on the military is always worth a try, regardless of whether it is feasible or not.

Since it is not said that there is a grade copper mine under the place where Yongping currently produces bile copper water, there must be no mistake. If it is an official camp, Xin Qiji has both the ability to lead the army and govern civil affairs, and it seems that he is indeed the best candidate. This man's temper is a little tougher, and it may not be appropriate to use it elsewhere, but here, it should be just his ability.
