If there is a solid city defense system, the Jin people's Jin Ge Iron Horse can not help the 1.5 million subjects of the Beijing Division, as long as the city gate is not breached, hold on for a period of time, then the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin from all over the country will come, and the Jin people will naturally know the difficulty and retreat. Thinking of this, I asked everyone in the hall: Jingshi, as the capital of the country, is located in a place that extends in all directions, the surrounding terrain is flat, except for the Yellow River, there is no natural danger to defend, what is the specific infrastructure and protection system of the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city?

Zhang Gu of the Imperial Court replied first: "Lord Qiqi, the capital division is currently composed of five protective nets of moat, outer wall, outer city wall, inner city wall, and inner court city wall, plus three cities: inner court, inner city, and outer city.

There are 5,000 Wusu troops stationed outside the south Xunmen Gate in the south of the outer city, there are 7,500 tiger wing water troops in the surrounding Wuchi, 10,000 people are stationed outside the Zhengmen in the west of the outer city, and there are 5,000 Guangxiao troops outside the Wansheng Gate on the side, there are 5,000 Wuhe troops outside the New Song Gate in the east of the outer city, there are 5,000 Xuanxiao troops in the north of the outer city, and there are 20,000 defensive troops in the outer city alone, plus the four corners of the outer city are stationed in the four corners of the outer city with 5,000 cavalry troops, 5,000 cloud cavalry, 5,000 dragon cavalry, 5,000 dragon cavalry and 5,000 arch holy cavalry troops in the north of the city. What's more, plus the Xuanwu Army, the Shen Yong Army, the Guang Yong Army, the Feishan Army, the Bed Crossbow Army, and the Xiongwu Army in the north of the outer city, there are 32,500 people, of which the artillery combat effectiveness of the Feishan Army is second to none in our Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and the bed crossbow army shoots the enemy hundreds of steps away, and the Shen Wei Army, the Japanese Army, the Tianwu Army, the Dragon Guard Army and other "four armies" 40,000 people, there are nearly 110,000 soldiers defending the city, not to mention the tens of thousands of elite defensive troops of the palace front division, and the protection system of the Beijing division is impregnable.

And they didn't know that it was precisely because of these so-called elite forbidden troops that they couldn't even defeat the Liao army with remnants on the northeast border, and they still fought more than 10,000 people with 500,000 troops, and they even lost their own troops. Not to mention the Jin soldiers, due to the long-term lax armament and the people's contempt for being soldiers, many soldiers lack basic training, and even more so, many cavalry can't even ride horses, do you still expect such an army to defend the city? Of course, Zhang Gu's defense system of the Beijing division is still very objective, and I can't hit their self-confidence at this time, after all, they haven't experienced war in the past hundred years, and they don't know that once the war is ignited, all morality and righteousness will be succumbed to the Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Judge Li Tietou also immediately added: Qiyu Prince, the Beijing Division has the Bianhe River directly to the southern roads, from the east and west of the Datong Gate and Tongjin Gate, Xuanze Gate and Shangshan Gate combined to form the abduction city is also foolproof, and from the Hongqiao, Shunchengcang Bridge, the bridge, the lower earth bridge, the upper earth bridge, the Xiangguo Temple Bridge, the Zhou Bridge, the Junyi Bridge (west of the Kaifeng Mansion), Xingguo Temple Bridge, Taishifu Bridge, Jinliang Bridge, West Pontoon Bridge, West Water Gate Bridge, the dozens of grain and grass warehouses set up around the cross bridge are even more sufficient, plus the Cai River in the south of the city from the Guanqiao, Xuantai Bridge, Hengqiaozi, Yunqi Bridge, Gaoqiao, Xibaokangmen Bridge, Longjin Bridge, Xinqiao, Taiping Bridge, Wheat Bridge, the first bridge, Yinan Bridge, Sili Bridge is full of grain and grass around the periphery, plus the small cross bridge of the Wuzhang River Bridge in the east of the city, Guangbei Bridge, Caishi Bridge, Qinghui Bridge, Dyeing Yuan Bridge around all kinds of reserve materials are complete, such soldiers will have a lot of food and grass in the city, why are they afraid of safety?

Indeed, through the Bianhe River, a steady stream of grain, grass, military supplies, and daily necessities from the south was transported to Beijing, and then transferred to the north through Beijing, thus maintaining the operation of the entire Great Song Empire, so the Bianhe River is the river of life of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the link between the northern political center and the southern economic center, and it is also a canal related to the rise and fall of the empire's fate. An empire could only flourish if it fully combined the economy and politics of the north and the south, and the fall of the Tang Dynasty is a history of the rise and fall of the canal, which will be described in detail later.

At this time, the magistrate Di Fuqing also said excitedly: Lord Qiyu, at present, there are still 1.5 million people in the Beijing Division plus 30,000 street division forbidden troops, and the guards of the guards, roads, temples, and palaces of the various government offices.

I am full of confidence in them at this time, after all, they do not have the angelic eyes of me, a traverser, and after the operation of successive monarchs, the Jingshi is indeed the most elite half of the country's forbidden army, in order to prevent local rebellions and threaten the safety of the Jingshi, and put half of the country's troops in the Jingshi, no matter how the place is tossed, it will not affect the overall situation in the end, at least at the quantitative level, as for whether the forbidden army can fight, that is another matter. And for the soldiers is also very preferential, good soldiers are directly transferred from the local to the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, and the poor soldiers are repatriated from the Beijing Division to the local Xiang Army, so as to ensure the worry-free of the Beijing Division, but this is only for the country.

But based on realistic considerations, I still have to state the reality to them, can not be too dependent on the city defense of the Beijing Division, thinking of this I said to them: Your words, very reasonable, but also based on facts, but we often can not ignore a reality, that is, since the beginning of the Song Dynasty has been a realistic recruitment system, not a conscription system, the biggest drawback of the recruitment system is that soldiers serve in the army for life, and the best age of soldiers is 20 years, after 20 years of this golden cycle, the country has to spend money to support, Coupled with the famine year recruitment system, resulting in the quality of the source of soldiers is uneven, and the Beijing division has not had a military affair for nearly a hundred years, many soldiers are in the forbidden army to mess around, once there is really a foreign invasion, although there are more than 100,000 people, but how many soldiers can fight? What is the geometry of the generals who can fight?

According to Tong Taiwei and others for many years of understanding of the Jin people, the barbaric iron hooves of the Jin people are eyeing my rich Great Song Dynasty, although the country is stable, but ignoring the changes in the external situation, the Great Liao State that has signed a brotherly alliance with the Great Song Dynasty has been completely occupied by the Jin people, according to the border pass report, they are constantly digesting the occupied land, after all, for the Jurchens in the northeast corner, the huge Liao State is dozens of times larger than their own territory, once they run in and digest the Liao State, The next step is for Bing Feng to point directly at my Great Song, and then I am afraid that it will be our wishful thinking to want to live in peace. After all, having tasted the sweetness of war, it will never stop, just like a wild wolf seeing blood, it is going to eat people.

Only then did everyone understand what I meant, the trouble in my Great Song Dynasty was not inside at all, but outside, in the neighboring north, it was the cavalry of the Jurchens. Although our many advantages, in the economy, in the culture, in the armament, the number of people, etc., there are incomparable advantages of the Jin people, but the indifference of war consciousness and the illusion of a good peace was the last straw that crushed the Great Song Dynasty, and the key is that the understanding of the cruelty and urgency of war among the subjects of the whole country is far from enough. Therefore, at the appropriate time, it is helpful to give a wake-up call to the management of Kaifeng Mansion to help the overall work in the future.

Everyone also carefully pondered what I just said, it is indeed reasonable, Zhang Gu of the palace did not have the excitement and confidence just now at this time, so he saluted and asked: Qiyu Prince, the lower officials and other limited knowledge, the pattern is small, I hope that the prince is angry, or the prince is far-sighted, standing high and looking far, the lower officials and others only saw the imperial court release their military exploits and recover Yanjing, and did not know the specific affairs ahead, although occasionally there were people from the north who inevitably fled to Beijing, speaking of the strength of the Jin people, but the lower officials and others also laughed and knew, and felt that it was not worth worrying about at all, After all, my great Song people are rich and strong, how can I be afraid of a small northern nomad.

This sycophant is very comfortable, and at the same time, it also indirectly expresses the voice of the public, that is, it doesn't matter, I feel that the war is far away from them, and I also believe that the Jin people will not do anything to my Great Song Dynasty, and when it is not good, the imperial court will treat the Liao State the same, and give some coins to buy peace, so that the Jingshi will still sing and dance. It is precisely because of this subconscious neglect that it has brought irreversible results to the subsequent historical development.

Judge Li Tietou said all his thoughts: Qi Yu Prince, Xia Guan also feels that the prince is reasonable, before Xia Guan also heard from the people from the north that the Jin people are not civilized at all, and they don't even understand the basic etiquette, they are very murderous, and they have a barbaric desire to encroach on property, not only the plundering of the population, but also the livestock, the city where the Jin people pass is basically an empty city, a dead city. They still retain the primitive slavery system, and many Liao people and border residents were driven to the north to work as cattle and horses.

Seeing that everyone is slowly returning to rationality and recognizing the facts, I said casually: What Judge Li said just now is extremely true and true, so we must be prepared for danger in times of peace at this time, and for this government, the most important thing at present is to strengthen internal management, practice internal skills, and do a good job in our own work in order to cope with extraordinary things in the future. Today, the prince told you these things to ask you to raise your awareness of defense, not to relax ideologically, to work hard, to manage the internal affairs well, especially to strictly control and crack down on all kinds of criminal offenders who are wandering around the Beijing Division, to create a stable and united atmosphere, to be tight inside and loose externally, and to truly show the appearance of the political, economic, and military center that the Beijing Division should have. That's all for today, so let's all go to work.

Looking at the backs of everyone, I couldn't help but sigh that people are indeed born in sorrow and die in peace, if they are not instilled with crisis thoughts, it is easy to cause paralysis and arrogance, and if the capital is immersed in self, it will be very dangerous for the entire Great Song Dynasty. Only by letting them establish a sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace can we prevent this from happening before it happens, and this will also lay a good foundation for my next step in the restructuring of the administrative system.
