With Zhao Xu's final decision, the hundred officials of the court couldn't help but sigh, no one thought that after Fan Zheng took the position of the supervisor of Pingxia City, he would actually raise the position of the supervisor to such an important position.

Not to mention that they also saved Chong Pu and Yao Xiong once by the way, otherwise even if the two of them made great contributions, they would not be able to escape the criticism of civil officials.

"The behavior of the Qiyu officials, Chong Pu and Yao Xiong's westward expedition may be excusable, but it is an indisputable fact that it caused the chaos in Qingtang."

"Our army has just occupied Qingtang, and the Tubo Zhuqiang will definitely not accept it, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future!"

…………………………

The hundred officials said one after another, although the hundred officials have reached a tacit understanding of the integration of civil and military, but if the chaos in Qingtang is not dealt with in time, I am afraid that there will be trouble.

After all, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country, the land of Qingtang is remote, and the surrounding tribes do not return to their hearts, so it may be difficult to defend it.

"With only 20,000 soldiers and horses, if you want to hold Qingtang, there will be many loopholes, and the ministers implore the imperial court to continue to recruit troops to deter the Qingtang departments!" Zeng Bu proposed.

"The ministers are opposed, the Qingtang tribes are already hostile to the Great Song Dynasty, if the army is suppressed, it will only backfire, it is better to focus on Huairou." Lu Dafang objected.

The pressure of the army will only make the Qingtang departments more alienated from the Great Song Dynasty, and now the army has spent a lot of money, spending a lot of military expenditure to lay Qingtang, and urgently needs the stability of Qingtang to provide a steady stream of war horses for the Great Song Dynasty, but also to serve as a bridgehead to threaten the hinterland of Western Xia, and naturally do not want Qingtang to have chaos.

In the past, the hundred officials of the court wanted to suppress Chong Pu and Yao Xiong, in addition to using literature to control the military, they inevitably did not give an explanation to the Qingtang Ministry, and used the idea of winning over the Ministry.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but have a headache, Qingtang was the first step of the Great Song Dynasty's roundabout strategy, and naturally there was no room for mistakes, but the military supervision system had not yet been truly implemented, and if too many troops were sent to Qingtang, it would also violate the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng said: "The minister has the best of both worlds, which can make Qingtang stable, and does not need the court to spend too much. ”

Seeing Fan Zheng jumping out again, Baiguan couldn't help frowning.

Without him! Although Fan Zheng's recipe has many miraculous effects, it is extremely evil.

"Fan Aiqing, please speak!" Zhao Xu was overjoyed.

Fan Zheng arched his hand and said: "Qi Qi Guanjia, the policy of building the Corps has been a great success, and it can be implemented in Qingtang!" ”

"Construction Corps?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he remembered that the Construction Corps was a pilot project used by doctors to plant Artemisia annua and open up farms.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty also reacted, and only then did they understand what Fan Zheng meant, and they were ready to use the box soldiers to stabilize the land of Qingtang.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "The Great Song Dynasty has just conquered Qingtang, and the tribes must not accept Wang Hua in their hearts, plus there are Western Xia secretly making trouble in the north, and the Tubo tribes on the snow field in the south are eyeing each other, if there are not enough troops to sit in the town, I am afraid that Qingtang will not be able to return to obedience at all." ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, the Great Song Dynasty has Qingtang, which can directly threaten the hinterland of Western Xia, Western Xia will definitely not sit still, and will definitely support the Qingtang tribes to rebel against the Great Song Dynasty, and the Tubo tribes on the Qingtang and the snow field are one, and now the Great Song Dynasty has cracked the gas epidemic, and the Qingtang has been exterminated, and the Tubo tribes will definitely die and fight against the Great Song Dynasty together.

You must know that the qi plague on the snow field and the qi plague in the land of Qingtang are not at the same level at all, if there are not enough troops to suppress it, I am afraid that all parts of Qingtang will continue to rebel, and the 20,000 army will also be embattled.

"And if the Great Song Dynasty continues to send a large army to Qingtang, not to mention a lot of expenses, the supply line is too long, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time, and a large number of troops are hoarding Qingtang, and the troops in the northwest roads will be reduced, which is easy to be taken advantage of by the Western Xia." Fan Zheng continued to analyze.

The hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty nodded, this is where the imperial court is embarrassed, whether it is to send troops to Qingtang or not, there will be great hidden dangers.

Fan Zheng continued: "The box soldiers are not, their combat effectiveness is not as good as the forbidden army, but it is more than enough for the Qingtang tribes with backward equipment, sending the box soldiers to Qingtang can not only be a heavy burden on the box soldiers, but also the soil in the Hehuang Valley is fertile and the water source is sufficient. ”

"Soldiers!"

"Construction Corps!"

The Manchu Dynasty and hundreds of officials discussed a lot, and the Great Song Dynasty did pursue strong cadres and weak branches, but the focus of its defense was on the forbidden army, and it was natural to grit its teeth for the soldiers who had low force and spent a lot of money and food on the court every year.

However, the soldiers are an indispensable part of the imperial court for civil stability, and the imperial court can only spend a lot of money and food every year.

"You don't know, three thousand soldiers in less than half a year, enough to reclaim 10,000 acres of fertile land, cultivate precious Artemisia, not only to achieve food self-sufficiency, and when the autumn harvest comes, enough to harvest cotton worth 10,000 yuan to supply the ordnance superintendent, a farm is still like this, and the scale of the Hehuang Valley is comparable to Kaifeng Mansion, if the construction corps is used to reclaim the farm, it is enough to harvest hundreds of thousands of loads of grain every year, and it is more than enough to supply the grain and grass of the Northwest Army." Fan Zhengzheng color road.

Zhao Xu was suddenly moved, the box soldiers were a heavy burden in the Great Song Dynasty, and when they arrived in Qingtang, they could turn waste into treasure, not only in Tuntian, but also in Qingtang.

"And the two of them broke the Ali bone this time, captured a large number of cattle and sheep, and if the soldiers went to Qingtang, the animal husbandry in Tuntian could be smoothly implemented." Fan Zheng said again.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty also nodded again and again.

"The minister thinks this is a good policy!"

This time, even the most conservative Lu Dafang was convinced.

With Zhuyu of Artemisia Farm in front, sending soldiers to the Hehuang Valley to form a construction corps is the best plan.

"The ministers agree with this policy!"

The officials also chimed in.

Zhao Xu saw that the court had reached an agreement, and immediately said loudly: "Spread the decree, the Hehuang Valley is the hometown of China, and today's return can be made, especially with Qingtang as Shanzhou and Miaochuan as Huangzhou." ”

Whether it is Qingtang or Miaochuan, it is the place name of Qingtang, and now it has been conquered by the Great Song Dynasty, so it is natural to restore the place name of the Sui and Tang dynasties to show orthodoxy.

"The official is wise!"

Hundreds of officials bowed their heads one after another.

"The order, Fan Zhengping has made meritorious contributions to the formation of the construction corps, and he is specially appointed as Du Yuhou, commanding 30,000 soldiers, and going to Shanzhou and Huangzhou to be responsible for the formation of farms and the cultivation of fields!" Fan Zheng said again.

"30,000 soldiers!"

Baiguan couldn't help but exclaim, you must know that the Song army only used 20,000 elite soldiers to capture Qingtang, and the number of soldiers led by Fan Zhengping directly exceeded the army of the Western Expedition.

Originally, he was only the lieutenant of Kaifeng County, and at most he commanded 3,000 soldiers, but now he has gained power and has become a general with 30,000 soldiers under his command, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.

However, the hundred officials understood that the reason why Fan Zhengping had such an opportunity was almost entirely due to the guidance of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and even the origin of the construction corps was to plant artemisia for doctors.

In addition, the reform of the military supervision system, as well as Chong Pu and Yao Xiong, etc., all benefited from Fan Zheng.

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng!"

Baiguan couldn't help but have complicated eyes, Fan Zheng is really evil, but everyone who goes against him falls under his evil prescription, and those who are close to him benefit from his evil prescription.
