It is inevitable that the army and the navy will not deal with each other.

In particular, as Han Zhen paid more and more attention to sea power and ocean-going trade, the contradictions between the two sides would accumulate more and more after the military spending system was determined.

After all, there is so much military spending every year, and the army will take more and the navy will have less.

Don't look at Han Zhen's gloomy face, in fact, this confrontation is the result of his laissez-faire.

Factional confrontation is a normal thing, not to mention the navy and the army, even above this court, it is now divided into several forces.

There are Shandong department, Zhao and Song Dynasty old ministers, and Xu officials......

Among each faction, it is divided into Shu Xue, Luo Xue, and Xinxue.

What Han Zhen, the emperor, needs to do is balance.

Balance the factions and let them fight without breaking within the framework they have set for themselves.

The navy and the army are fighting openly and secretly, it's okay, but they must not stab each other at critical moments, don't be like the army and navy in the small days of later generations.

It will never be possible to count on the unity of the Manchu Dynasty, and if all the civil and military officials work together, then Han Zhen, the emperor, should not be able to sleep.

The so-called imperial mind is nothing more than that.

Zhao Ji is a good player, but this guy doesn't have to be on the right path, and all political means are just for his own pleasure.

Similar to him, there is also a Zhu Houxi.

During the reign of these two people, through a series of political means, the imperial power reached its peak, and they followed the law, and controlled the life and death of civil and military officials, but unfortunately they didn't do their business.

"It's really a hot report!"

At this moment, a shout broke the silence of the hall.

The expressions of the army generals were awe-inspiring, and their eyes lit up.

There's another battle to be fought!

"Xuan!"

Han Zhen commanded.

The next moment, Lao Jiu hurriedly entered the main hall and presented a battle report.

After receiving the battle report, Han Zhen quickly glanced at it.

Nie Dong asked, "Your Majesty, but the Jin people are going south?" ”

Han Zhen said loudly: "Wanyan Yinshu can lead three thousand light horsemen, enter Daizhou from Shuozhou, and go straight to Zhending Mansion. ”

Hearing that there were only three thousand light horsemen, the generals looked indifferent.

Although the main army is still in Gyeonggi, there is also a Qingzhou army in Nanjing Province, and it only takes a few days to rush to the aid of Zhendingfu, with firearms and more than a dozen field guns in hand, and 3,000 light cavalry can't make any waves.

Liu Qi stood up, clenched his fists and responded: "The last general asks for battle, only 3,000 cavalry are needed, and he will definitely be able to break the Jin Army!" ”

"Sit down."

Han Zhen glanced at him.

By the time Liu Qi led the cavalry to Zhending Mansion, he had already run away.

Hearing this, Liu Qi sat down stupidly.

Uncle Zhang, who had been silent, muttered: "This is Wanyan Zonghan's strategy, which is intended to destroy the relationship between the two countries that has just eased. ”

"I know."

Han Zhen nodded.

Three thousand light horsemen are enough to plunder the land, but if you want to attack the city, it is simply wishful thinking.

They didn't even dare to fight in the field with the defenders stationed on Nanking Road, apparently for the sake of attacking, at most grabbing some food.

Although the loss is not large, it is extremely disgusting.

But there is no way, the four places of Yunzhou are in the hands of others, occupying a favorable geographical position, and the cavalry can come if they want to, and leave if they want to.

On the contrary, Han Zhen wanted to attack Datong, Shanxi, but there were many difficulties.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are the gateways of the Central Plains.

It's like having a door in the north, but the owner of that door is your neighbor. Your neighbor will have the opportunity to spy on your every move in the house at any time, and even suddenly break into your home through this door, who will not feel uncomfortable?

This is why, the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun ran through the entire history of the Northern Song Dynasty, and countless Song people regarded it as their lifelong goal.

Now although Han Zhen has taken Nanjing Dao, Xijing is still in the hands of Wanyan Zonghan, which is equivalent to only recapturing half of the door.

Yue Fei opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, Yunzhou is the gateway to the east of the river, and it must be taken. ”

Han Zhen said loudly: "Naturally, you have to take it, but not now." Although Wanyan Wu begging for purchase and Wanyan Zonghan are not in agreement, if they cut gold, they will definitely be unanimous with the outside world, Zhao Song is also not at ease, and Western Xia is ready to move. ”

The strategic direction of Qi has been set.

Distant and close attack, first take Yunzhou, and after stabilizing the north, then go south to attack the Song Dynasty and unify the north and south.

At that time, none of the Western Xia and Jin Kingdom will want to run!

At present, it is necessary to accumulate strength, on the one hand, the manufacture of field artillery, siege artillery and firearms, the construction of naval divisions, and the hoarding of food.

On the other hand, they sent envoys to secretly contact Yelu Dashi.

After Yelu Dashi fled westward, he could still establish Xiliao, and he could be regarded as a generation of heroes, Han Zhen believed that he would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Han Zhen instructed: "Allow you to wait for five days to rest, accompany your family and relatives, and when the rest is over, you will lead your own legions to the border pass." ”

In two days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the soldiers on the border will be gone for three years, and it is appropriate to accompany their relatives.

"The last general commands!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

After the military meeting, Han Zhen ordered someone to summon Yu Bozhuang.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

Yu Bozhuang has been busy recently, not only to rectify the Academy of Engineering, but also to keep an eye on two construction sites.

Han Zhen didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "How many craftsmen are the car and ship supervisors?" ”

Yu Bozhuang replied: "There are more than 230 officials and craftsmen in total. ”

Han Zhen asked again: "I plan to expand the port of Haizhou Bay, and at the same time build a dock, before the end of the year, to build three Shenzhou warships, is there a problem?" ”

The shipyard on the other side of Jiaozhou Bay has begun to build the third Shenzhou warship.

With Haizhou Bay sharing the pressure, we can free up our hands to build ocean-going trade merchant ships.

"If you have drawings, it's no problem."

Where does Yu Bozhuang dare to say nothing, he has to be tough if he has difficulties.

Han Zhen looked satisfied and said: "Okay, go back and write a detailed project report, submit it to the cabinet, and after the approval is passed, the household department will release the loan." ”

"Wechen will go."

Yu Bozhuang said goodbye and left in a hurry.

……

……

Zhending House.

After the news of the Jin people's attack reached Zhending Mansion, the prefect Tan Xingzhong immediately ordered the people of the state capital to grab grain.

But the silver technique came too fast, and three thousand light horsemen came and went like the wind, and it only took two days to come to Daizhou, and they were about to arrive at Zhending Mansion.

Seeing that the grain could not be harvested, Tan Xingzhong ordered to burn all the grain in the field with fire.

Even if it is burned, it cannot be left to the golden people.

The people of the surrounding villages in the counties are all temporarily in the county seat.

Solid wall clear!

He only needs to implement these four words, and when the defenders of Nanjing Road arrive for help, the Jin people will fade away.

Among the county seats.

Tan Xingzhong instructed: "A large number of people in the county town, it may cause public security problems, and ordered the supplementary officers of the fast class and the strong class to be divided into three shifts and patrol day and night. In addition, the prisoners of minor crimes in the prison were released and organized into a prison army to strengthen the city and guard the city. ”

"If you repel the gold, you will forgive them for their sins."

Hearing this, Ruan Jiong, the general judge, frowned and said, "Talking about the prefect, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate." The prisoners in the prison are all extremely vicious, and if they are released, there is a fear that there will be trouble. ”

Besides, pardoning prisoners privately is not a trivial matter.

"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things. Moreover, His Majesty's accession to the throne will grant amnesty to the world, and no one will be held accountable at that time. ”

Seeing that Ruan Jiong was still hesitating, Tan Xingzhong persuaded bitterly: "Hold the county seat, everything is easy to say." But if the county town is breached, what do you think you and I will do as the chief officials? ”

Ruan Jiong's face struggled, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this official will do it." ”

……

In prison.

Ma Kuo curled up in the corner of a cell, staring straight at the roof.

Since the Jin people broke through Yanjing, he was carried out of the city by the rout.

He originally wanted to come to Zhendingfu to recruit troops and continue to fight against the Jinren, but he offended Liu Ziyu, the son of Liu Tao, who was pacified by Zhendingfu Road at that time, and was framed by him for colluding with the Jinren to sacrifice the city and was imprisoned.

In prison, he was severely beaten.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhending Mansion to be occupied by Han Zhen, and Liu Tao fled south with his family.

The beatings were gone, but the problem was that he was abandoned in prison.

The officials who originally accepted the case ran and died, and even the jailers were replaced.

It's not that he hasn't shouted wronged.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the other prisoners in the prison also shouted.

Okay!

How does this make the jailer believe?

Bang dang~

Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening.

Immediately after, the sound of footsteps came to my ears.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

Official step?

Ma Kuo snapped back to his senses, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

He heard it, this is the official step of the Quartet, and an official has come to prison!

Thinking of this, he rushed to the edge of the cell and tried to look out through the wooden fence.

After a while, a dark official robe came into view.

Ma Kuo shouted loudly: "The person who came is an official under the command of the county magistrate Han? ”

Hearing this, Ruan Jiong's face changed, and he scolded: "Presumptuous, Your Majesty has ascended the throne and become the emperor, how dare you call the county magistrate again!" ”

Did the county magistrate Han ascend the throne and become the emperor?

Ma Kuo didn't care about this at this time, and hurriedly explained: "This colleague is not strange, this official has been imprisoned for several months, and he doesn't know what happened outside. ”

Hearing him call himself his own official, Ruan Jiong glanced at him up and down and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Ma Kuo bowed: "This official is the Great Song Dynasty Zhongzhou Thorn History and Pavilion Gate Xuanzan Shema Kuo." ”

"Ma Kuo?"

Ruan Jiong lost his voice.

Ma Kuo was stunned: "Do you recognize me?" ”

"Your Majesty has been looking for you for a long time!"

Ruan Jiong was surprised and delighted in his heart, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and open the prison door and release Brother Ma." ”

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.

Come to the prison and pick up credit for nothing, how does this dislike him?

The jailer immediately took out the key and opened the cell door.

Ma Kuo arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”

Ruan Jiong was curious: "How did Brother Ma get locked up in prison?" ”

"After Yanjing was broken by the Jin people, I originally planned to come to Zhending Mansion to recruit troops, but I never wanted to have a conflict with Liu Ziyu, the son of Liu Tao, who was pacified by Zhending Mansion Road, and was framed by him for colluding with the Jin people and taking me to prison." Ma Kuo explained with a bitter face.

Ruan Jiong said angrily: "This official knows that the officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties are corrupt, but they never thought that they would be corrupted so much. ”

Ma Kuo asked, "What is the situation outside now?" ”

Ruan Jiong said in a deep voice: "This matter is a long story, Brother Ma will wait a while, and this official will deal with official business first." ”

"Okay."

Ma Kuo nodded and stood quietly aside.

After Ruan Jiong finished handling his official business, he took Ma Kuo all the way back to the lobby of the mansion.

Seeing him pulling a prisoner, Tan Xingzhong looked puzzled: "Who is this?" ”

Ruan Jiong said excitedly: "Talking about the prefect, this person is Ma Kuo!" ”

Tan Xingzhong's face was full of disbelief.

And this kind of good thing?
