Since Zhao Hong ascended the throne, the original four Rong Divisions of Shukou, which existed in name only, have become two Rong Divisions, the Rong Division of Lizhou West Road, and the Rong Division of Lizhou East Road.

Lizhou West Road Rong Division: The Rong Division is located in Chuzhou, guarding Xianren Pass, Tongqing Mansion, Tianshui Army, Qifang Pass and Jiezhou, Xihe Prefecture, etc., also known as Chuzhou Rong Division, and is under the control of Cao Youwen under the control of Lizhou West Road.

Lizhou East Road Rong Division: Rong Division is stationed in Xingyuan Mansion, that is, Hanzhong, and its jurisdiction is Lizhou, Langzhou, Jinzhou, Yangzhou, Bazhou, Da'an Army, etc., which is equivalent to the entire Hanzhong Plain, all of which are under the control of Yu Jue in Lizhou East Road.

Since Lizhou is bordered by the east and west roads of Rongsi and Jinjing Shaanxi, it is already a border. In particular, Lizhou West Road, interlaced with Jinjing dogs, is connected to the valley plain in the middle, and goes north and south, all in one thought.

Zhao Hong's ambitious words were heard in his ears, and in surprise, several courtiers bowed down together.

"I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!"

The young man, as expected, is so ambitious, as soon as he took office, he was already thinking about restoring his homeland.

"Ten...... Ten thousand soldiers! ”

Yu Jue's eyes were as big as eggs.

Biansai was recruiting and training new troops, hoping to reach the scale of 50,000 or 60,000 on the two roads of Lizhou, and as soon as the emperor came, he directly doubled it.

However, if Biansai really has 100,000 soldiers, not only can he defend himself, but he can also use troops externally.

"Your Majesty, the minister is old and healthy, and he has to implement a new policy, so many things, I'm afraid the minister is difficult to support alone!"

Cui He shook his head and smiled bitterly, crying bitterly.

There are these genius protégés of Jinling Martial Arts Hall, so why bother him with military training.

Moreover, after observing the drills of these "recruits" in the barracks, he was ashamed of himself. In this case, why bother to be greedy for merit, embarrass the emperor, and it is difficult for yourself.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to recruit and train troops in Sichuan to share your Majesty's worries!"

Fan Zhong was thrilled and volunteered.

"Fan Zhong, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you have other arrangements."

Zhao Hong raised his head, looked at the ministers, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are two roads in Lizhou, all the soldiers and horses are in the hands of the two major Rong Divisions, and the power of control and deployment is also under the jurisdiction of Cao Youwen and Yu Jue. Cui Qing is in charge of the four roads of Sichuan Gorge outside Shukou, and the Qing family assists him. In terms of the supply of grain and grass, you have to worry a lot. ”

Zhao Hong's words made Cui He's heart a little relieved, and then bowed solemnly:

"Your Majesty, the minister must do his best and do his best!"

He is old, and he is really unbearable to let him take on the military and political power of Sichuan, especially the use of troops in the border area.

The defense of Shukou border fortress, the emperor attaches so much importance to it, and there will definitely be wars in the future. The emperor clearly wants to use new people, so why should he bother?

In this way, it will be much easier for him to specialize in the implementation of the New Deal and civil affairs.

"The ministers are willing to assist Cui Xianggong and share your Majesty's worries!"

And all the ministers bowed together.

"Since the implementation of the new policy on Jiangnan East Road, the government has been clear, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and taxes have increased significantly. Nowadays, the implementation of the new policy on the four roads of the country, especially in Sichuan and Liangzhejiang Road, the implementation of the new policy is urgent. Ladies and gentlemen, are there any obstacles to the implementation of the new policy in Sichuan? ”

The people of Sichuan have worked hard, abolished the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and implemented new policies such as the Economic Boundary Law, and the people of Sichuan can live more easily.

"Your Majesty, the implementation of the new policy, the ministers are difficult to support alone, and please send important officials into Sichuan to preside over the implementation of the new policy."

The ministers looked at each other, and Cui He subconsciously chose to resign.

"Cui Qing, I pulled you out of the house, not for you to pick on. Whether you offend the powerful gentry of Sichuan, or offend me, you can choose one for yourself. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Cui He, his eyes swept over the ministers, some of them were already pale, and their bodies seemed to tremble.

"Whether the new policy can be implemented smoothly is related to the social affairs of the Great Song Dynasty. I'm not afraid to tell you that within five years, I want the Great Song Dynasty officials to rule Qingming, and the people will no longer suffer from harsh governance. Ten years later, I will recover the northern land, about fifteen to twenty years, the world will return to the Song Dynasty, and restore the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Cui He and the ministers, and his heart also warmed up.

"The Great Song Dynasty I want is not a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, and it has no flesh. I want the desert of the Western Regions and the end of the world to be planted with the banner of my Great Song Dynasty, and all the countries will come to the court, and the guests will be subdued. This is the prosperity of China. ”

Zhao Hong's words made Cui He secretly surprised, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He could hear that what Zhao Hong said came from the bottom of his heart, which made him also moved, and even had some impulses to agree immediately.

He also understood that if he didn't agree, Zhao Hong might not be reluctant. But he will order the officials to make bold moves to implement the new policy, and will remove all obstacles in the way of progress at any cost.

At that time, it may be a bloody storm, or even provoke a popular uprising, followed by a larger-scale bloodshed.

The emperor is fierce and will never compromise with anyone, and his ambitions are already explained in the poems.

The monarchs and ministers were silent, and Zhao Hong stepped forward.

"Cui Qing, Yu Jue, Fan Zhong, let's go for a while."

Zhao Hong and Cui walked away with a few others, avoiding the ministers far away.

The three of them moved forward, Zhao Hong remained silent, and Cui He secretly calculated in his heart.

Sichuan has implemented a new policy, and now that it has happened, can he say no?

Those Sichuan scholars on the sidelines may have regarded him as Zhao Hong's pawn.

Zhao Hong slowly moved forward and said slowly:

"Cui Qing, I won't let you stand alone, I have already transferred a large number of officials to Shu to assist you in implementing the new policy, you just sit in Sichuan and preside over the overall situation. Fan Zhong will take the lead for you, and Cui Qing will have a lot of peace of mind. ”

Cui He went to Sichuan and threw stones to ask for directions, but it seems that the situation in Sichuan has not been opened, and it seems that the pressure encountered is not small.

The energy of Sichuan scholars is really extraordinary.

"Fan Qing, to implement the new policy, time is running out. Sichuan is about to make a big move, you have to cheer up the spirit! ”

Zhao Hong told his confidant and loved the general, and spoke softly.

Fan Zhong's official voice is incorruptible, but Zhao Hong is relieved.

"Obey the order!"

Fan Zhong received the order, and his heart was secretly surprised.

What the emperor meant by this, did he want him to help Cui He implement the new policy?

"Cui Qing doesn't need to worry, Sichuan scholars are ironclad, and this situation will soon disappear."

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, Cui He's heart was stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the group of Sichuan adults on the sidelines.

Sichuan, like Jiangnan East Road, will clear all obstacles and ghosts, snakes and spirits if the new law is to be implemented. Fan Zhong came to Sichuan and made a secret visit, and he must have gained a lot.

The emperor's words are by no means untrue. It seems that many Sichuan officials on the sidelines are going to suffer.

And Sichuan, I'm afraid it's going to set off an officialdom storm.

"Cui Qing, the officials who entered Sichuan with me this time are all staying in Chengdu Mansion waiting for appointment. They are all experienced elite soldiers, and Cui Qing can be entrusted with reuse when he returns to Chengdu. ”

Sure enough, Zhao Hong was calm and calm, and he had indeed made arrangements.

"Cui Qing, you go down with the ministers to rest first, and I will summon you later."

Zhao Hong said softly, Cui He left with a heavy heart, and Yu Yu and Fan Zhong followed.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you met the envoy of Western Xia in Jinling Lecture Hall, and now you are in the border again. The minister dared to ask, is Your Majesty going to send troops to save Xia? ”

Yu Jue couldn't help but asked softly.

When Jinling lectured on martial arts, Zhao Hong only said that he would make plans early and strengthen the defense of Shukou, but did not say that he would send troops to save Xia.

It seems that Zhao Hong has changed his mind again.

"Yu Jue, you're right. If you were to lead your troops to rescue Western Xia, would you dare to go? ”

Zhao Hong looked at Yu Jue, his eyes burning.

A fierce general who dares to fight with the Mongolian army, it is naturally difficult for him to defend the city.

"Your Majesty, the world says that the Tatar iron horse is indestructible and indestructible. I am willing to lead the troops, fight with them well, and grow the majesty of my Great Song Dynasty! ”

Sure enough, Yu Jue's face turned red, and he clenched his fists and begged for his life.

"Yu Jue, this is dangerous, there is a possibility that there will be no return, do you dare to go?"

Reinforcements to Western Xia, this is to fight in a foreign land, anything possible will happen. He had to prepare for the worst, that is, the reinforcements and the Western Xia would die together.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. Based on his knowledge of history, this should not be possible.

Xixia supports itself independently, and can keep it until the scorching summer. He sent 10,000 elite soldiers with firearms, it wouldn't be worse.

"Your Majesty, as a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, he only knows how to serve the country loyally, kill himself, and be afraid that there will be no return. If the army is defeated, the minister will commit suicide with the "soldier's soul", and he will never embarrass the Great Song Dynasty, and will never let His Majesty be disgraced! ”

Yu Jue's words made Zhao Hong nod slightly.

Famous players who have proven themselves in history will never disappoint others.

"Yu Jue, after thinking about it, tens of thousands of people are too hasty, and five thousand seems to be too little. You select soldiers in the Lizhou battalion and prepare them for overseas battles, and the number is about 10,000, so that firearms and veterans will be given priority. At that time, all the firearms produced by the Lizhou Ordnance Manufacturing Division will be at your disposal. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Yu Jue and smiled proudly.

"You don't have to worry, if the time comes for a military emergency, I will lead a large army to rescue you. Soldiers shed blood and sacrificed for the country abroad, how can I be a turtle with a shrunken head and a nest! ”

Compared with the border between Lizhou West Road and Jinjing, facing the war, Lizhou East Road has Qinling Fortress, which has to be further back and deviate from the border, so it seems that Yu Yu will lead the troops to Western Xia, which seems to be harmless and is a good choice.

"The minister will follow His Majesty's teachings, and the minister will do his best to share his worries for His Majesty!"

Yu Jue clenched his fists, knelt down on one knee, and bowed.

There is no doubt that the emperor will definitely receive the soldiers who will reinforce the Western Xia when the time comes. With such an emperor, it is worth dying.

Fan Zhong was secretly frightened, the fearless arrogant general, coupled with a bold emperor, was afraid that the future war would be turbulent and exciting.

"Fan Zhong, Cui and the old man are serious, you are shrewd and capable, it seems that the implementation of the new policy on Sichuan Road has to fall on you and Cui and the two. Indispensable. ”

The model of Jiangnan East Road, the old man Wang Gang sits in the center, and the young and vigorous Hu Mengyu charges into battle, which seems to be able to be replicated on Sichuan Road.

The stumbling blocks in Sichuan, he will also kick away and eliminate them mercilessly.
