Zhao Kai heard Zhao Huan so much, and laughed secretly in his heart, these days of hard work swept away, before Zhao Kai, although the emperor of the Song Dynasty paid heavy taxes, but also knew that the country had no money, but no one ever wanted to give the ministers heavy wealth and good financial management, but Zhao Huan has always attached importance to it, not only relying on himself as a confidant, it is a year's war and a big plan, and the plan of conquering the city is also planned according to the bottom line that the three divisions can afford.

In fact, with the current strength and elite level of the Song army, if it is exhausted and re-harvested, it can completely bear 500,000 ordinary forbidden troops in addition to 500,000 elite soldiers, so that with a million-strong army counterattack, the battle line can be pushed north of the Yellow River in the sixth year of Jingkang. On the one hand, the emperor was tied up by the Jin people's bargaining chips for the emperor to negotiate peace, but on the other hand, because the financial burden could not be reduced, he deliberately slowed down the process of expanding the armament war.

After the six years of Jingkang passed and a whole year passed, the Song army did nothing other than expand and replenish all the three armies in Chang'an, but only secretly transported a large number of elite equipment to the front. All this is only on the premise that the financial resources can afford it.

At present, the two monarchs and ministers reviewed the year's expenditure in detail, and Zhao Huan asked Zhao Kai to carefully select and send a number of officials and children of the family who are well versed in wealth to Chang'an Taixue to prepare for the study of finance, so that in a few years, there will be more available talents.

After Zhao Kai withdrew, Zhao Huan looked at the sky, it was almost noon, the Song people ruled, two meals a day, the morning meal was breakfast, around one o'clock in the afternoon, it was called dinner, if it was a late night, and then eat some snacks and drinks, it would be called night. At this time, looking at the hourglass at the corner of the palace, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, although Zhao Huan was used to the eating time of the Song people, he also felt that the drum was beating in his stomach and he was hungry.

On the one hand, he ordered the meal to be served, and on the other hand, he urgently summoned Yu Yunwen and others to come. When the silver plates were presented, Yu Yunwen and others also came as ordered.

While Zhao Huan was eating, he asked Yu Yunwen and the others to enter the inner hall and wait. Each of them is a member of the Privy Council. I was used to doing these things, and after listening to Zhao Huan's instructions, I rushed in, went to the inner hall to arrange the sand table wooden diagrams, and waited for the emperor to come in to discuss after eating.

The Privy Council of the Military Department was also abolished last year, when the Central Government Office was abolished in the whole imperial court, but this department was added to the Privy Council to command the staff officers at all levels of the entire forbidden army.

In Zhao Huan's understanding. The Privy Council is equivalent to the Ministry of Defense of later generations, responsible for the deployment and operation of the entire country's military machinery, and the Ministry of War originally said that it was in charge of the military register and the equipment of the soldiers, but in fact, the responsibility and power have long been weakened, and even institutions such as the Weapons Superintendent are directly managed by the Privy Council. As a result, the military department was left with an empty shell, and when the central government office was abolished last year, many of the military department's nominal and non-physical organs were reduced. Only the titles of Shangshu and Shilang were left. It's just used to add officials. When the abolition of the Ministry of War became inevitable, the responsibilities and powers to be borne by the Privy Council were too heavy, and the original structure obviously had to be reorganized and strengthened.

At the same time as the establishment of traditional institutions such as armaments and staff. Zhao Huan ordered the establishment of the Military Department in the Privy Council, which was responsible for the preparation and planning of major battles, and also took charge of the leadership and personnel rights of all staff officers. And Yu Yunwen lived up to his trust, in the second half of the sixth year of Jingkang, when the entire military division had not yet completed the allocation of all the members, it had already targeted the general trend of the entire Song and Jin war situation according to the development of the Song army and the predictable forces at that time. A plan for the seven-year war of Jingkang was drawn up.

With the introduction of the financial budget for the new year, the preparation of the entire campaign has also reached the final stage. On the huge sand table in the side hall of the Qingchuan Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, it is full of small red and blue flags symbolizing the Song army and the Jin soldiers, which are equipped with the location of each Song army's forbidden army, the nearest logistics supply point, the reserve of war horses, weapons and bows and arrows, the situation of roads and bridges, and the geographical location of each of the Jin soldiers, and the number of war horses on the other side. The level of elite, the time required for nearby strategies, each item and each of them, are clearly marked.

It can be said that such a complete battlefield analysis, such detailed intelligence, the analysis and reorganization of the corresponding intelligence, and even the judgment of strength and the corresponding deployment have surpassed the limits of what any country or military organization can do in this era when Song and Jin were contending.

With the intentional support of Zhao Huan, and after providing a lot of simple mathematics and drawing methods for later generations, these originally very professional staff officers, with their own diligence and wisdom, coupled with Yu Yunwen's genius, finally mobilized more than 500,000 people to the main force of the forbidden army, more than 300,000 people of the Xiang Army, and nearly 3 million people of the entire campaign plan of the Minfu Army, all of which were completed.

It can be said that this battle plan is close to everything that Zhao Huan ideally can do for the German General Staff Headquarters in the corresponding technology and environment.

Yu Yunwen's subordinates are as many as hundreds, most of whom are young people who have been selected from hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and have served as staff officers, and they are also smart-minded and will not follow the rules. Yu Yunwen himself is only in his twenties, and his average age is around thirty. Such a group of young staff officers, after Zhao Huan gave a large planning framework, can give full play to their imagination and their own strengths, and do not dare to revise the plan because it was proposed by the emperor. On top of Zhao Huan's original plan, many imaginative revisions and corrections were made.

The whole plan was first proposed by Zhao Huan, who was familiar with the entire Song and Jin war situation and historical trends.

When he fled back to Chang'an in the third year of Jingkang, the Song army was still in an embarrassing situation of being beaten everywhere, and even unable to resist the attack of the Jin soldiers on many battlefields.

Han Shizhong was defeated by Liangzhun, Liu Guangshi lost the Tianchang army, Yangzhou fell, the Jin soldiers crossed the river, and Zhao Gou, who searched the mountains and inspected the sea, was extremely embarrassed, like a lost dog.

And Zhao Huan's side, the Fuping War is imminent, known as an army of 500,000, including 180,000 elite of the Western Army, it can be said that this is the most powerful fighting force in the entire Song Dynasty forbidden army, before the later Yue Fei and other famous generals did not grow up. In the official history, the defeat of Fuping in the First World War, the Song army lost the entire Shaanxi and Gansu, and retreated to Sichuan, while the Guanshan was lost, and the Jin soldiers completely protected the hinterland of the Central Plains, creating insurmountable difficulties for the later Northern Expedition of the Song army.

After the Fuping War, the recovery of Hedong, the battle of Miguan, the defense of Chang'an, several major battles, the Song army due to the Fuping War to maintain the original main force of the Western Army, and Zhao Huan's command, plus Han Shizhong, Yang Yizhong, Yue Fei and other generals of the growth, in the southeast, Jingxiang, Guanshan, formed three main battlefields, so that the Jin soldiers everywhere overstretched, not only can no longer take the initiative to attack, even the defense is extremely difficult.

In the battle of recovering Taiyuan, the Jin soldiers fully demonstrated the lack of capable combat troops, and the length of the battlefield made the main force of the Jin soldiers, which was originally dominated by elite soldiers, even more tight, and the puppet Qi and Han armies that were supported did not reflect the role of the puppet regime at all.

In this way, in the sixth year of Jingkang, the Song army had turned the passive into the active and attacked everywhere, although there was only a large-scale battle of Taiyuan in the first half of the year, and the second half of the year was basically dominated by small-scale battles. On the battle line that stretched for thousands of miles, the Song army attacked in all directions, fighting pseudo-Qi and a small number of Jin soldiers, and the main force of the main force of the Jin soldiers jumped and caught fire everywhere. In the seventh year of Jingkang, the civil strife in Jin had not subsided, and the main peace faction had the upper hand, counting on Zhao Huan to negotiate with them, according to the old practice of Song and Liao, the two countries were peaceful and republican, and the Jurchen nobles could enjoy the old land of Liao and the Central Plains and Hebei of the Song Dynasty, and enjoy the annual tribute given by the Song people, which was much easier than fighting hard with the Song Dynasty.

And Zhao Huan knew that the Jin State was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and the official history recorded that after the Jin soldiers destroyed the Liao, the degree of corruption and degeneration was comparable to that of the later Eight Banner soldiers after they entered the customs, or even more excessive. Through several major battles, he has discovered the development and progress of the heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty, as well as the emergence of a large number of outstanding generals, so that the Song army has the strength to fight with the Jin soldiers in the plains. The Song soldiers in history did not have this ability until Shaoxing ten years ago, and the Song army under Zhao Huan had this ability several years earlier, and they were even more victorious.

The entire battle plan was drawn up in accordance with the changes in the military strength of the Song and Jin dynasties.

In addition, there are still the logistics capabilities of the two countries, the overall economic capacity, the population replenishment capacity and other aspects of the planning and consideration, this level, is already the scope of the overall war in later generations, if it is not for Zhao Huan proposed, Ren Yu Yunwen and others are talented, it is impossible to think of it.

When Zhao Huan finished eating in a hurry and entered the side hall, several squad guards immediately guarded the front, and no one was allowed to approach. Naturally, they didn't know that in this palace, the entire wall was hung with a sketch of the huge battle plan that was about to unfold.

The whole plan is related to the strategic trend of the Song and Jin countries in a few years, if everything goes well, not only the Central Plains can be recovered, and even the entire territory of Hebei may also be recovered, and the wounded Jin soldiers may not be able to keep the Yanyun natural danger, if the Great Wall defense line can be recaptured in one go, then the Jin State will no longer be able to go south, the strong Song Dynasty heavy infantry and the strongest long-range troops in the world, will make the Jurchen cavalry facing the Xiongguan Pass, unable to start, horses and horses can not go south. The Song Dynasty, which had obtained a large number of people, land and strategic space, rebuilt its war machine with its strong national strength, recovered Liaodong, restored the homeland of the Han people raising horses, and destroyed the Western Xia, all of which were just around the corner.

For this reason, whenever Zhao Huan entered this palace and looked at the sand table of Nuoda and the wooden drawings on both sides of the hall, he always felt ambitious, and the small flags seemed to incarnate countless loyal and brave soldiers, under his command, to fight in the north.
