Song Jiuyin endured it for more than a year, and it was for this moment!

In fact, Song Qi can't be blamed entirely, of course, Song Qi is also partly responsible.

If Song Jiu just talked about it ordinarily, it wouldn't work, but he said another truth, that is, Li Jiqian became stronger and stronger, which made everyone have to pay attention to it.

However, at this moment, everyone was not thinking about Li Jiqian, but looking at the faces of Song Qi and Li Fang, this is the Great Dynasty Meeting, although there are nine prime ministers in the two mansions, but who are the two prime ministers who Song Jiu said in the Dao Dao? This slap was too hard.

"Qing ......"

"Your Majesty, the beacon fire is gradually becoming a prairie fire, isn't Your Majesty in a hurry?"

Zhao Kuangyi hesitated.

"Your Majesty doesn't see the Bohai Kingdom?"

Zhao Kuangyi finally woke up.

Song Jiuchu went to Wushe country, Wu Xuanming's subordinate soldiers were really pitiful, not even 10,000 people, although now they are back in the depths of Liaodong, but now it is not what it used to be, and even the famous general Yelu Xianzhen of Liao State feels jealous. Under the guidance of Song Jiu, Wu Xuanming asked his subordinates to launch guerrilla warfare, and Yelu Xianzhen was not idle, sending secret envoys to tempt Wu Xuanming's subordinate tribes, but he did not dare to forcibly use troops in Liaodong.

This is still Wu Xuanming did not listen to Song Jiu's words, otherwise when Yelu Xiuge retreated, he would not pursue and stick to Xianzhou City, coupled with the response of the Goryeo people, it may really shake the Liaodong of the Liao State.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "Song Li Erqing's family doesn't know about military affairs, so don't blame Qing to lose the court." ”

But there are many ministers who think in their hearts that this is Song Qi and Li Fang's own finding.

is not compared to age, only compared to seniority and political performance, Song Jiu is far better than Li and Song, but during this period of time. Especially Song Qi constantly stumbling on Xifu, that is, the mud bodhisattva. There are also three points of fire.

Moreover, Song Jiu and Cao Guangshi have always had a good relationship.

Although Song Jiu was furious and lost the court, it was reasonable.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "What do you plan to do? ”

"Your Majesty. The country will use troops in the north in the future, if there is a change in the west, the rear will be seriously contained, and the ministers think that it is very inappropriate, but the Nanhetao is a vast area and a small number of troops, and Li Jiqian fled east and west, and it is not easy to capture. Guchen thought that he should send 60,000 or 70,000 elite soldiers, and then send troops to help Feng Erzhou. Then we can sweep away the rebellions in the northwest in one fell swoop, so that the northwest will be at peace forever, and the country can concentrate on using troops in the north, which is a century-old plan. ”

"It's not right, the summer harvest is about to ......," Li Fang said, his voice weakening.

Now the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty has not expanded, it is still about 3340,000 people, and in the past few years, there have been some battles and some soldiers have died. There are also some soldiers who have joined the forbidden army since the founding of the country, and gradually become old and retire one after another.

According to the system formulated by Song Jiu, the imperial court selected the strong and strong among the soldiers. Or select some troop sources from some strong archers in Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi, and continue to replenish them.

The overall strength of the army did not fluctuate much.

Some people may compare the 800,000 forbidden soldiers at the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is still different. At that time, the population of the Northern Song Dynasty reached more than 10 million, almost three times that of today. Therefore, if the forbidden soldiers are added at this time, the burden on the court will inevitably become very heavy.

Therefore, Song Jiu increased the number of village soldiers. There are also some ministers who oppose it, they are not messing around, and the country's capacity is relatively limited.

Of the more than 300,000 forbidden soldiers, more than 100,000 forbidden soldiers were stationed in Hedong and Hebei, and nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses were also stationed in the northwest from Weizhou to Lingzhou to Yanzhou. and a small number of forbidden troops in the south, mainly in the Jinghu area, and the remaining nearly half of the soldiers and horses were scattered in various areas around Gyeonggi.

In this regard, Song Jiu's military reform was also adjusted, and some new soldiers were added from the south one after another, and the southern soldiers rotated to the south, and the northern soldiers took turns to fight in the north, so as to resist the waterproof soil, and many innocent soldiers died. This is also a reform of concrete and positive significance.

Although it is an exaggeration, it is true that some soldiers died in the wheel because of the unaccustomed water and soil and the hot weather.

Nearly half of the soldiers in the rear are not all in the countryside Tuntian, and there are still tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers stationed in the capital, and about 1120,000 forbidden soldiers are scattered in various places.

Once the troops are used in the northwest, they will be received in the summer, and the manpower for harvesting will become very tight.

However, this reason is not sufficient.

There are also ways to solve the problem, such as letting family members grab the harvest on their behalf, or hiring people to harvest. After all, soldiers and soldiers are only trying to save money, and going to the battlefield to fight is their main business.

And Song Jiu made it clear, you two are mediocre......

Li Fang smiled bitterly in his heart, this Liang Zi seemed to be unsolvable.

Song Jiu really sneered and said, "Your Majesty, this time you use soldiers, and the minister still has an idea. The country has been peaceful in recent years, and there are nearly half recruits in it, who have never been on the battlefield at all. The northwest is the best training place, and if they don't practice, these recruits will be very uncomfortable when they arrive on the battlefield. With so many troops and horses stationed in the northwest, it can probably be solved, but the number one enemy of the country is not the northwest, but the north...... Therefore, the minister suggested that troops should be used in the northwest, one for the peace of the rear, and the other for military training. Please think twice. ”

But Zhao Kuangyi was still hesitant.

If, as Song Jiu proposed, an additional 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses were sent to the northwest, the northwest itself could draw out about 20,000 soldiers and horses to participate in the war, plus the troops of the two families of Zhewang, it would reach 100,000 troops. One will use a lot of silk, and the other is to use Guan Yun Evergreen Dragon Yanyue Knife to slaughter chickens. However, the deduction of troops, perhaps as Song Jiu said, has fewer troops, even if Li Jiqian is defeated, but Li Jiqian relies on the complexity and vastness of the terrain of the Nanhetao, fleeing everywhere, and once the army retreats, it can resurrect from the ashes.

Even Zhang Qixian made a joke in Xifu: "Duke Song, what you said about the enemy advancing and I retreating, and the enemy retreating and I advance, Wu Xuanming did not implement it well, but Li Jiqian implemented it very well, did he also hear your eight-character strategy in the northwest?" ”

The controversy didn't last long.

Another piece of bad news came from the Northwest.

Li Jiqian's acquisition of Yinzhou is equivalent to tearing a hole in Song Jiu's net. In addition, not all the forts were successfully built, that is, the construction was successful, and it was necessary to discuss the garrison and the tuntian, in fact, Song Jiu also deliberately postponed the tuntian.

Therefore, the forts have been built, and soldiers have not yet been fully stationed.

There is another reason, although it is building forts and roads to form a chain defense network, the imperial court is still based on Song Qi's thinking, Zhao'an is the mainstay, and annihilation is supplemented. Song Jiu began to exert his power, and Li Jiqian didn't know what to do.

Therefore, he took a light cavalry from Yinzhou to the south, crossed the Hengshan defense line, and destroyed two forts, captured hundreds of people, and quickly went south, tore through the defense line of Huanqing Erzhou, crossed the Hulu River, and reached Huizhou. In the blink of an eye, the undefended Huizhou was taken. Later, the Song army of Qinzhou quickly came to the rescue, and Li Jiqian considered that it was too far away from Yinzhou and Dijinze, so he burned the city of Jiangzhou to the ground, and thousands of officials in the city had time to escape in the future, and all of them were burned alive.

Zhao Kuangyi was furious and summoned all the prime ministers.

Song Jiu said: "Your Majesty wants to make furniture, do you use ministers to make it, or do you have carpentry to make it?" If the two ministers of the Eastern Mansion write poems and endow them, even if they are ministers, they are far behind. But the military is not what they are good at. Neither can ministers, but self-confidence is more far-sighted than theirs. ”

Another slap in the face.

Li and Song are the prime ministers, alas, and the good ones write poems as endowments, can it be that the prime ministers only write poems as endowments?

Not only did you slap your face, but you also spoke very roughly, and you specialize in art, you don't understand military affairs, what are you shouting nonsense all day long?

Lu Mengzheng asked: "Duke Song, Huizhou is so far away from Yinzhou, why did Li Thief use troops to Huizhou?" ”

"Lingzhou also."

"Lingzhou?" Even Zhao Kuangyi didn't quite understand.

"To go to Yeongju, Gyeongju Road, Huanju Road, Yeonju Road, you have to cross Hengshan. Tuoba Li family has been operating in Dingyan for more than 100 years, not only in four states and eight counties, but also in the surrounding areas, from the northeast to Dijinze, to the southeast to Baimachuan and Leshan, and even in Lingzhou. If Li Jiqian wins again and again, Zhuqiang will join his account. and Li Jisheng saw that the imperial court's attitude was soft, and he also betrayed, Li Jiqian rebelled, killed officers and soldiers, and occupied Yinzhou, but Li Jisheng ignored the facts and wrote to the court to continue to recruit peace. Zhao'an? When? Could it be that when Li Jiqian occupies the entire northwest and the tail is too big, the imperial court has to seal a king of the northwest? ”

Zhao Kuangyi understands this sentence.

Whether it is a country's internal affairs or military affairs, it must be both soft and hard, and use both grace and power.

Therefore, Li Jiqian used troops in Huizhou, if he succeeded, Qinghuan Yan three roads were blocked, and the imperial court wanted to rescue Lingzhou, there were only two roads, one was Weizhou Huluchuan Road, and the other was Huizhou Quwushan Road. However, this time the troops were used, but Li Jiqian was too hasty, and he felt bad after taking Huizhou, so he burned the city and returned to Yinzhou. ”

Zhao Kuangyi's face was gloomy and terrifying.

If what Song Jiu said was correct, then he was constructing a very bad picture.

There is no need to occupy Yanzhou, Lingzhou and Quwu Mountain, even if Li Jiqian regains possession of the four prefectures of Dingyan, it will also give the imperial court a headache.

……

Looking at "Yang Jiajiang", there are heroes and traitors.

The traitor is Pan Renmei, which is a bit embarrassing.

There is another person, Wang Yu.

In fact, Song Jiu was also paying attention to this person, but the result made him very confused.

Not to mention the merits of Xuanzhou in the south of the Pingjiang River, let's talk about the future, because of his talent in humanities and martial arts, the imperial court was ready to let him crusade against Meishanman, and later came to the northwest and immediately played one thing to the imperial court. The imperial court set up generals in the northwest to control all ethnic groups.

But it is not possible for all matters to be in charge of each general.

In fact, some of the main generals have made great achievements, but their governance ability is not good.

Therefore, each general will use the tooth soldiers around him to assist, but after a long time, these tooth soldiers have become friends with the border people, and it is difficult to control them. Wang Yu asked the court to rotate these tooth soldiers as well.

Zhao Kuangyi agreed, but these tooth soldiers were not happy, and Wang Yu selected a few of them to take the lead in making trouble and beheaded them for public display.

This is in the northwest, the real fist is big, what kind of courage does Wang Yu need to do this?

So Song Jiu had a doubt, could it be that this Wang Yu was also a good person, and he was also wronged.

But Song Jiu ignored one thing, the so-called traitorous minister, which one is not a capable minister?

Wang Yu is a pit person. (To be continued......)
