didn't dare to delay time, Zhang He hurriedly followed Cao Shuang into the palace.

As soon as he entered the study, a dense fold flew straight towards him, and it hit him in the face with a snap, and the face of the tightly folded and angular part of the chapter was painful, and the heat almost made him scream.

Hurriedly held back, picked up the thrown fold and looked at it, and when he finished reading the contents of the fold, his face also became extremely ugly!

He didn't know about it!

He didn't expect that there was a situation in the southeast that even he didn't know, and these people below seemed to be floating!

And Zhao Duan's angry questioning voice also came from the front: "Zhang He! How did you become a prime minister! Why is it such a big event, so far there is no news from the imperial court, and I have to send back the news from the Imperial City Division, and I only then know that the southeast of my Great Song Dynasty is about to become a colony of Japanese slaves!

What do you eat?!

What are the officials under your command doing?

You give me a reasonable explanation! ”

Where can Zhang He give any explanation, he can only reluctantly say: "Official, the minister doesn't know the specific situation of this matter, but please rest assured that the official family will immediately go to check the situation, if the situation is true, the following is really concealed such a big matter, the minister will quickly deal with it to the people of the world, and give Your Majesty an explanation!" ”

"Verify?

Can I wait, can the people of the counties occupied by the Japanese invaders wait?

If the court is late, they will be persecuted by the Japanese slaves for one more day!

Also, is there still the strength in the southeast today to deal with this matter?

Are you sure you can handle it with the current southeast garrison?

Just that group of 1,000 garrisons were chased by five Japanese pirates for hundreds of miles? ”

Zhang He was silent, what the official said was the truth, with the current situation in the southeast, if this matter is true, the southeast itself has no ability to solve this matter at all.

As far as the foreign melons and cracked dates of the southeast garrison are concerned, they have no intention of fighting at all.

Don't think that the greed for money is only happening in the armies of the northern frontiers.

In the south, where there is not so much military pressure, the local generals and civilian officials responsible for allocating military salaries are far more than those in the north!

In northern Xinjiang, due to the relationship between the Tatars and the Xiongnu, the top will still leave a little bit below, lest the bottom really rebel.

But in the south, there is really no room left for the bottom, and even more so, they will instruct them to work for them and make money.

really squeezed the interests to the extreme.

This also led to the fact that the garrisons of the four southeastern counties had completely become a group of craftsmen, or even if they were obviously fighting hard, they were unwilling to fight for the imperial court.

When you encounter the enemy, your first reaction is not to make hard steel with the enemy, but to smear oil on the soles of your feet.

This kind of situation is almost the whole southeast, and those generals and civil officials also know what they have done, and they don't forget about bullying on weekdays, if they really force people to die, these big-headed soldiers may not necessarily suffer honestly.

So I didn't care, let them escape, and then there was a situation where more than 1,000 garrisons were chased by five Japanese and fled for hundreds of miles.

The garrison was useless, and the forces of the local gentry suffered heavy losses after the ravages of Fang La, and they were even more powerless and unwilling to help, thinking of this, Zhang He suddenly had a headache.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Duandang sneered: "What, can't you think of a way?" Wasn't Zhang Xiang the most scheming in the past?

Stumped you with such a difficult question? ”

Zhang He knew that he was now being held by the handle, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only honestly bow his head and bear it.

Zhao Duan glanced at him coldly, and then said:

"Let the Japanese army go."

Zhang He was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty! The Japanese army is the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, how can it be used at will? ”

The account is sanctimonious, but the actual reason is not.

This incident is different from the last time, the last time it was Fang La raging, and the Japanese army was used to quell the rebellion.

When the army put down the rebellion, they retreated.

But this time it's different, this is to suppress the widows!

And judging from the situation, the several counties near the sea in northern Jiangsu may have been deeply infiltrated by the Japanese invaders.

There is no doubt that a place like this will have to be purged again and again.

The Great Purge also means a vacancy, and if the officials take the opportunity to reach out to the southeast, then their control over the southeast will undoubtedly be reduced.

There is also another thing, if the Japanese army is allowed to go, after the peace of the Japanese army, the official family will definitely use the excuse of guarding against the Japanese army to train the new army in the local area, so that the new army will become the imperial army stationed in the southeast.

And this new army formed by the Japanese army is undoubtedly a force that belongs to the official family, which is equivalent to the official family will have an army directly under him in the local area.

Then if the official family wants to do something in the southeast, it will be much more convenient!

As the prime minister, Zhang He can't just consider the immediate gains and losses, he must think carefully and take all possible consequences into account, so that he can make a decision.

So as soon as the official's words came out, he immediately understood what the official family wanted to do, which was naturally not allowed.

But his opposition gave the officials an excuse to play on the topic.

"Don't let the Japanese army go? So who is going to pacify?

Now, except for the four forbidden armies guarding Bianjing, none of the elite troops of our Great Song Dynasty has the ability to pacify the Japanese.

Since the prime minister is against it, then please come up with a solution!

The people of Subei County can't wait too long! ”

Beads of sweat appeared on the top of Zhang He's head, and he thought about it quickly.

Indeed, as the official said, now that the Xiongnu have detained the pass, all the elite troops of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the four forbidden armies guarding Bianjing, have all been transferred to Hedong County in the northwest to guard against the Xiongnu.

Given the current level of tension in the war over there, it is obviously unrealistic to bring back an army now.

Not to mention what impact it will have on the existing defense system of Hedong County, if there is a loophole in the whole and the Huns rush in, it will really outweigh the losses!

What should I do?

Zhang He's mind quickly turned, and suddenly remembered something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It's just that the words suddenly stopped at the moment of exit, and this method seems to be a bit ......

But Zhao Duan had already seen his expression and knew that he had thought of a solution, so he asked: "If the prime minister thinks of a way, just say it!" ”

Zhang He thought about it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, but still said the method he had just thought of.

"Official, the minister heard a few days ago that Yunzhou County was invaded by the Tatars, and 300,000 Tatars wanted to invade Liaodong through Yunzhou County and enter my Great Song Pass.

However, in Yunzhou County, 300,000 Tatars were all repelled by His Royal Highness King Yun.

This shows that the Cloud King should have an army with good combat effectiveness in his hands.

Now that the Tatars have retreated, there is another incident in northern Jiangsu, and the imperial court has no troops to adjust, so it is better for you, Your Majesty, to order King Yun to send 10,000 people to support northern Jiangsu.

To be able to repel the Tatar army, 10,000 people should be enough to solve the affairs of northern Jiangsu.

Moreover, this number is also under the control of the imperial court, and we can also take this opportunity to see the combat ability of the army under the command of King Yun.

In this way, the imperial court's understanding of the Yun King can be increased in order to respond.

King Yun, after all, is just a vassal king. ”

As soon as Zhang He's words came out, Zhao Duan was instantly shocked by his method!

Mom, transfer troops from Yunzhou County to northern Jiangsu to quell the rebellion, or the troops of a vassal king, you really dare to think about it!
