What's going on? Song Xiaozong believes: This is the end of the fire! Even if the fuel is burned out, the fire is still there! So he decided to do everything possible to quickly destroy the fires scattered all over the army and ignite the entire Southern Song Dynasty military circle!

It is necessary, it is possible, but it is also the slowest. The war that has just passed has shown that it is the militia that can really produce quick results and bring surprises! Like Wei Sheng, more than 300 militiamen crossed the Huai, fought even victories, and created a miracle. Like Geng Jing, 6 people sparked the prairie and gathered hundreds of thousands of people in just over a month. This is something that the Southern Song Dynasty officials will never be able to do!

In particular, these two phenomena are not accidental, and in the past 20 years, the following scene has repeatedly occurred: in the war, the regular army stands in the back with bright armor and weapons, and in front is a militia shirtless with rudimentary knives and guns. The militiamen were full of flesh and blood, and the regular army carefully observed and judged carefully:

Got the upper hand? Is it almost successful? Good! Rush over and grab! Disadvantaged? Failing? Good! Retreat now, retreat!

After the victory, the regular army received a benefit, while the militia did not even get the rent and tax exemption and non-conscription that they had promised at the beginning!

How vile, how ugly, how pitiful... Song Xiaozong understood that this was a rare opportunity! For a fraction of the cost, he could get a large number of ready-made troops, much stronger than the regular army... Just that he treats the people a little kinder!

The army is there, and the equipment has to keep up. Speaking of equipment, the equipment of the Southern Song Dynasty army is colorful, diverse, and countless, and there are unexpected in all aspects. Every item written on the bill will make Zhao Yan crazy!

The Han Chinese army was usually armed by the state, unlike the nomads, who provided their own horses, swords, guns, bows and arrows, armor, and even food. That's the payout for digital terror! The armor alone is enough to make people collapse!

The standard armor of the Song Dynasty requires 504 armor leaves, each weighing 2 yuan and 6 cents. The armor body uses 330 leaves, and each leaf weighs 4 dollars and 7 cents. The battle skirt is 679 leaves, and the leaves weigh 4 money and 2 points. The main body of the head armor weighs 2 catties and 12 taels. The head armor armor is made of 310 leaves, and the leaves weigh 2 money and 5 cents. The whole body shares 1825 pieces of nail leaves, and the string of threads weighs 5 catties, 12 taels, 5 money, 1 cent... What a delicate process this is, and the base number of subsequent production zuò is more than 300,000 sets... And that's just the armor, but with swords and guns, especially bows and arrows, what is the number?

It is recorded: 3,300 yuan for a war knife, 2,700 yuan for a bow, 74 yuan for a hand arrow, 65 yuan for a crossbow arrow, 6,500 yuan for a war drum, 69,800 yuan for a pair of military tents, 40,100 yuan for a pair of armor, 17,300 yuan for a pair of chest blocks... The base of these is much greater than 300,000. Take bows as an example, usually 1 million sheets are made in a hurry!

To make the empire, which is riddled with all kinds of diseases and has just escaped from death, run quickly, and obey Song Xiaozong, who has just been gried, supports the Northern Expedition, this proposition is not easy to do! For success. Zhao decided to start from all sides. As the newly appointed child emperor, Zhao Tuan knew very well who this country belonged to, so he went to find "Daddy"

Zhao Gou is now in Wangxian Bridge every day, and has cultivated to the realm of the eight-clawed octopus. He sits in the room and relaxes, and his tentacles are firmly attached to every corner of the empire, monitoring the overall situation at all times.

If Zhao Tuan does not get his support, he will not be righteous, and he will not be filial. It is said that every time Zhao Tuan goes to see "Dad", he will always be passionate and excited, and tell his father about the latest gratifying changes in the empire. And Dad's reaction was faint. As if he doesn't care, he is very decentralized, as if he has taken a back seat...

Zhao Tuan was unwilling, and finally made up his mind to tell his "father" one day: I want to go on the Northern Expedition! I'm talking about the recent Northern Expedition! Unexpectedly, "Dad" suddenly became colorful, and clearly said to him, "Big brother (Zhao Gou calls Zhao Yan the eldest brother)." After a hundred years, you will do this again, "Unless I die, don't you want to stir up trouble and engage in the Northern Expedition!"

On the same day, Zhao Tuan walked out of Deokshou Palace in a trance. He thought a lot along the way, the Northern Expedition was unpleasant, and it was likely to lead to the instability of the throne. At least you will be scolded for not being filial... Can you not do it? In the past 35 years, countless humiliations of the royal family of the Song Dynasty have been condensed since the Second Emperor of Huiqin, and even the greatest humiliation in the history of the Kaihan civilization! Anyone with a little bit of blood can't stand it, let alone him! Zhao Tuan has a huge sense of honor, and this feeling is likely to come from his bloodline, which comes from the proud bloodline of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! But it is also very likely that he was born with a unique personality, two Song Dynasty 16 emperors and 2 kings, only Zhao Yan is alone, proud to the point of sensitivity! For the sake of dignity, he can do anything!

At this time, after thinking about it, Zhao Yan decided to carry out the Northern Expedition regardless of Qiqi! And this has to support Zhang Jun even more toughly! From this moment on, Zhao Tuan stood firmly behind Zhang Jun, and he first wrote a "Ode to the Holy Lord and the Virtuous Minister" to Zhang Jun, and gave Zhang Jun a character. Then in the depths of the palace in the ancestral hall of Zhang Jun's birth tablet, every time before the edict Zhang Jun is announced, he must first go to the ancestral hall to pay respectful respects, and then he will be summoned to the palace... This is called "showing that you dare not face to face", which is an unprecedented courtesy!

It spread to the outside world, and there was everything to say. There are praises that Zhao Tuan is worthy of being virtuous and carrying things like the earth, and when the national disaster is at the head, he can do a better job than King Wen of Zhou when he treated Jiang Ziya well. Obviously, the Song Dynasty will be prosperous because of this. Some shook their heads and lamented, what is this, who is Zhang Jun? What have you done? Could it be the fiasco of Fuping and the Huaixi military mutiny? With these, you can become a virtuous minister of Zhongxing, and receive immortal courtesy... This emperor is stupid!

When it reached Zhao Gou's ears, his father's heart trembled, this is really to reuse Zhang Jun! For the sake of the comfort of the last part of his life, he must do something!

First of all, it is to create public opinion and calm the contradictions. Zhao Gou is very clear: political struggles are sometimes like the marriage of children, and the more parents oppose oppression, the more they can force the two children to come together. If it is more relaxed, it is possible for both parties to see each other's shortcomings, so that they will disperse...

Zhao Gou found Zhang Jun's son Zhang Yan, and emotionally recalled the "deep" friendship with Zhang Jun for decades, "How is your father recently?" How are you eating? Is your face good? Where's your mother... Oh, she died? It's a pity, time flies too fast, when your father remarried, he asked me for advice, and in the blink of an eye, you are so old. Go back and bring a message to your father: I miss him so much. I and my father, righteousness is the monarch and minister, and they are like flesh and blood. After this meeting, there was an uproar in the outside world, and Yan Zhan suspected that after the Huaixi military mutiny and Zhang Jun's resignation, Zhao Gou's sentence "Rather overthrow the country." Not to this person" the authenticity of the oath ...

And Zhao Tuan was very excited, this was a big turn for him to do, and his father began to support and began to give policies. On another day of seeing his father, Zhao Tuan took Zhang Jun as the topic and launched a new round of Northern Expedition. He thought that he would be able to resonate with his father, starting from identifying with Zhang Jun, and then identifying with the Northern Expedition! Unexpectedly, this time, my father's words were like this: "Son, you have to have a snack and carefully observe the things of your courtiers." Such as Zhang Jun. He always kept a notebook, and whenever a scholar visited him, he would write it down in it, and privately promise to recommend him in the future. When he went to the army, he distributed the gold and silver treasures of the country to his subordinates to win the hearts of the people. I don't know whose official position it is, and whose gold and silver it is! It has a false name, but it is better to use the country's famous instrument as a favor."

Zhao Tuan was stunned! The contrast between before and after is too great, and Zhao Gou first affirmed his friendship with Zhang Jun. I also despised Zhang Jun's way of working. What does this mean? Is it a more common political means to promote first and then suppress? Or is this just about the facts, not the right people?

Could it be that Zhang Jun is really exaggerating and being two-faced? A poisonous seed took root and sprouted in Zhao Tuan's heart. He couldn't help but think along this line of thought. It's not to blame him, he's professionally trained in politics, and these are instinctive reactions...

But Zhao Yan finally came to a conclusion. Zhao Gou doesn't go on the Northern Expedition, he wants to go on the Northern Expedition! Zhang Jun has been persisting in resisting gold for 30 years and planning the Northern Expedition... It's enough to have this formula! But that seed just needs to be planted. You can't pull it out completely!

Zhao Tuan's matter of looking for his father to ask for policies has come to naught, so he can only think of other channels. Zhao Yan decided to find a helper from the ministers, and the first choice was naturally his closest, most trusted, and most accustomed teacher, Shi Hao. This teacher Shi is very strong and sturdy. The previous stupid move made the country lose 16 states and more than 30,000 soldiers, but there was no punishment for relegation, and there was no crisis of losing the emperor's trust!

At this time, Zhao Tuan was very eager for the teacher's resonance, but the teacher still made it clear: he did not support the Northern Expedition as always! And solemnly warn the students that you have been deceived by people with ulterior motives. As for how you were deceived, the teacher will give you a live demonstration...

Shi Hao asked to have a court argument with Zhang Jun, and explain things clearly in the Golden Palace, in front of the emperor, and in front of hundreds of civil and military officials!

The 67-year-old Zhang Jun had to fight, which can be regarded as his lawsuit. Considering that he has been living in a depressed and repressive situation all these years, his health must be negative. But Zhang Jun doesn't care about these at all, his ideals of flying ambition and revenge, and the ideals that can only be completed by him are waiting for him, he must seize this rare opportunity! At the same time, he wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, which was the power of the whole country, and every official had to cooperate to achieve it. So on April 8, Zhang Jun rushed back to Lin'an from the Jianghuai front, and he was full of hope that this court debate would be turned into a positive pledge meeting, win over the hostile faction and the wall-riding faction, and even become his subordinates, and work together for the Northern Expedition!

This incident once again proves that Zhang Jun is an optimist warrior. He is confident before every struggle, such as this time...

Shi Hao is a new officialdom, but he is the teacher of the new emperor, and his previous resume is a professor in Wenzhou, Taixuezheng, and Dr. Guozi... How does this compare to Zhang Jun? Zhang Jun was much bigger than these titles in Kaifeng City before the Jingkang Revolution!

So Zhang Jun didn't think it was a battle, he walked up to the Golden Palace very easily, and it is estimated that he almost asked the emperor in person: Have you visited my birthday tablet in the inner shrine today? Then he asked Shi Hao again: The emperor is like this, should you also show something? Do you want to just talk to me?

Zhang Jun is a high-spirited, righteous, god-like being! Shi Hao also recognized this, so Zhang Jun was able to speak first and discuss his Northern Expedition plan!

Zhang Jun said: The emperor should issue an edict to march in person, and the first stage will be Jiankang...

Shi Hao objected: In what name did the emperor go to Jiankang? Is it a pro-sign? Then it is unkind to take the lead in provoking a war! Is it a border patrol? So how much does it cost? When Yan Liang invaded the south, the emperor personally conquered, and the huge amount of money spent by the states and counties along the way was not counted, and the inner treasury of the imperial court alone spent 14 million yuan. Of course, you can directly mention that you can move the capital to Jiankang, and then the cost can be added to the normal expenses, after all, the imperial court has to spend that money wherever it is. But Jiankang doesn't have a palace, how to place the emperor? Even if the emperor can do it, what should the emperor do? If the emperor personally marches alone, then the forbidden army will be divided into two parts: one will stay in Lin'an to defend the emperor, and the other will go to the front line, such a thin force, in case the Jin army raids, how do you ensure the emperor's safety?

A series of question marks made Zhang Jun speechless. This is all true, and Zhang Jun decided to avoid it. He emphasized that the emperor should have the courage, like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to turn to the world and dominate the country with the insignificant position of the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, how magnificent! My emperor should have such a spirit!

It's exciting... Teacher Shi was very angry. There is no analogy at all! Who is Liu Bang? Take advantage of the chaos at the end of Qin to take advantage of the outlaws who are happy for a while! My emperor inherited the 200-year-old foundation of my ancestors, how can it be compared? The emperor's soldiers should be perfect. Are you so rash that you want to trap my emperor to death?

Zhang Jun was speechless again. He suddenly felt that the old pedant in front of him was very difficult. No way! Gotta change the subject!

Zhang Jun said: The Central Plains has fallen for a long time, and if it is not recovered, there will be heroes who will take advantage of the situation, and then the entire north will be neither owned by the Song Dynasty nor the Jin Dynasty.

The implication is that if there are conditions, you will have to go on the Northern Expedition, and if you don't have the conditions, you have to go on the Northern Expedition, and it is urgent! This is a big proposition, involving Zhao Song's family world, which has reached the level of military and political affairs, and I think that the old scholar should not be good at it, and he will not dare to talk nonsense.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shi said: "There are no heroes in Jiangbei at all." If so, why weren't the Jin people driven away?" There's no professional basis, but it just makes sense... It can be seen that people who can quarrel can definitely quarrel across industries!

Zhang Jun is on fire! Do you really know the truth? The people of Jiangbei are strictly organized and controlled, and everyone is unarmed, so how can they revolt and rebel? This is a great opportunity for us. We went on a northern expedition and gave them weapons, and it was immediately combat effectiveness!

Shi Hao continued to retort: This is what you call a hero? Is it impossible to resist without being armed? I want to be tyrannical and tyrannical in Qin, collect the world's soldiers and cast twelve bronze men in Xianyang, what weapons did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have when they rebelled? Aren't they all defenseless? But the same momentum and dominance of the world, that is a hero! It can be seen from this: you are purely alarmist, there will be no other dynasty in Jiangbei at all! (To be continued......)
