Song Jiuyin endured it for more than a year, and it was for this moment!

In fact, it cannot be blamed entirely on Song Qi, of course Song Qi also has some responsibility.

If Song Jiu just said it in a normal way, it wouldn't work, but he told another truth, that is, Li Jiqian became stronger and stronger as he defeated, which forced everyone to pay attention to it.

However, at this moment, everyone was not thinking about Li Jiqian, but looking at the faces of Song Qi and Li Fang. This was a grand dynasty meeting. Although there were nine prime ministers in the two palaces, the one who didn’t know who the two mediocre ministers were mentioned by Song Jiu? This slapped too hard.

"You..."

"Your Majesty, the beacon is gradually becoming a prairie fire. Isn't your Majesty in a hurry?"

Zhao Kuangyi hesitated.

"Don't Your Majesty see the Bohai Kingdom?"

Zhao Kuangyi finally woke up.

When Song Jiuchu went to Wushe Kingdom, the soldiers under Wu Xuanming were really pitiful, not even enough 10,000 people. Although they are back in the depths of Liaodong, they are not the same as before. Even the famous Liao general Yelu Xizhen felt afraid. Under the guidance of Song Jiu, Wu Xuanming asked his subordinates to launch a guerrilla war. Yelu Xizhen was not idle and sent secret envoys to seduce Wu Xuanming's tribes, but they did not dare to force their troops to Liaodong.

This is because Wu Xuanming didn't listen to Song Jiu. Otherwise, when Yelu Xiuge pseudo retreated, he would not pursue and defend Xianzhou City. In addition, the support of the Goryeo people might have really shaken Liaodong of the Liao Kingdom.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "The family of Li Erqing of Song and Li did not know about military affairs, so please do not blame him, as it would be a loss of court ceremony."

But many ministers thought to themselves that this was what Song Qi and Li Fang asked for.

Not comparing his age, only comparing his qualifications and political abilities, Song Jiuyuan is better than Li and Song, but during this period, the Secretariat, especially Song Qi, constantly stumbling over the Western Palace, was even a clay Buddha. He also had three points of anger.

Besides, Song Jiu and Cao Guangshi have always had a good relationship.

Although Song Jiu was furious, he lost his court ceremony, he was in a reasonable way.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "What are you going to do with me?"

"Your Majesty. The country will use troops in the north in the future. If there is any change in the west and the rear is severely restrained, I think it is very inappropriate. However, the area of ​​Nanhetao is large and the troops are small, so Li Jiqian fled east and west, and it is not easy to capture it. Gu Chen thought that he should send 60,000 to 70,000 elite troops, and then ordered the two prefectures of Feng to send troops to help. Then he could sweep the rebellions of various northwest units in one fell swoop, so that the country could concentrate on using troops in the northwest. This was a hundred years of plan."

"It's not appropriate, summer harvest is about to come..." Li Fang said, his voice weakening.

Today, the Song Dynasty's imperial soldiers did not expand, but still had about 330,000 to 40,000 people. A few years ago, some soldiers fought one after another and died. Some soldiers also joined the imperial soldiers since their founding, gradually getting older and retired one after another.

According to the system formulated by Song Jiu, the imperial court selected strong and strong men from the soldiers of the wings. Or selected some soldiers from some strong men and archers in Hebei, Hedong, Shaanxi and continued to supplement them.

The overall force fluctuates slightly.

Some people may compare the 800,000 banished soldiers at the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is still different. At that time, the population of the Northern Song Dynasty reached more than 10 million households, almost three times that of now. Therefore, if the banished soldiers were added at this time, the burden on the court would inevitably become very heavy.

So Song Jiu added village soldiers. Some ministers opposed it. They were not considered to be a mess, and the country had a relatively limited capacity.

There were more than 300,000 illegal soldiers stationed in Hedong and Hebei, and nearly 40,000 soldiers were stationed in the northwest from Weizhou to Lingzhou to Yanzhou. If Song Jiu had no suggestion, it would be barely 30,000 soldiers. As well as a small number of illegal soldiers in the south, mainly in the Jinghu area, and nearly half of the remaining soldiers were scattered in various areas near the capital.

In response to this, Song Jiu's military system reform was also adjusted, and some new recruits were added from the south, with the southern soldiers garrisoning the south, and the northern soldiers garrisoning the north to prevent many soldiers from being unacceptable and innocently dying. This is also a reform of specific positive significance.

It is said that the forbidden soldiers went to Jinghu Lunjung, and more than half of the dead were killed. Although it was exaggerated, it was indeed because of the unacceptable weather and the hot weather, some soldiers died in Lunjung.

Nearly half of the soldiers in the rear were not all farmed in the countryside, and there were tens of thousands of illegal soldiers stationed in the capital, and about 110,000 illegal soldiers were scattered in various places to farm.

Once the troops are used in the northwest and the summer is received immediately, the harvesting manpower will become very tight.

But this reason is not sufficient.

There are also ways to solve it, such as letting the family members rush to harvest on their behalf, or hiring the people to harvest. After all, soldiers farmed only to save expenses, and going to the battlefield to fight is their main job.

And Song Jiu made it clear that you two are mediocre...

Li Fang smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that this Liangzi could not be resolved.

Song Jiu sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I have another idea for this military use. The country has been peaceful in recent years, and there are nearly half of the new recruits in it, and they have never been on the battlefield. The northwest is the best training place. If you don't practice, these new recruits will be very uncomfortable when they arrive on the battlefield. The northwest can probably solve the problem. But the country's number one enemy is not the northwest, but the north... Therefore, I suggest using troops in the northwest, one for peace in the rear and the other for training. Please think twice."

But Zhao Kuangyi was still hesitant.

If Song Jiu proposed to send 60,000 to 70,000 troops to the northwest, about 20,000 troops to participate in the war. With the strength of the Zhewang family, it would reach a 100,000 army. A lot of silk was used at one time, and the second was to use Guan Yun Changqinglong Yanyue Sword to slaughter chickens. However, the deducting of troops may be as small as Song Jiu said. Even if Li Jiqian was defeated, Li Jiqian, who maintained the complexity and vastness of the terrain of Nanhetao, fled everywhere. Once the army retreated, it would be rekindled.

Zhang Qixian even joked in the Western Prefecture: "Duke Song, what you said is that the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance. Wu Xuanming did not execute it well, but Li Jiqian executed it very well. Could it be that he also heard your eight-character strategy in the northwest?"

The controversy didn't last long.

Another bad news came from the northwest.

Li Jiqian's acquisition of Yinzhou was equivalent to tearing a hole in Song Jiu's net. In addition, the construction of each fort was not successful, but it was successful. It was necessary to discuss garrisoning troops and farming. In fact, Song Jiu also deliberately postponed the garrisoning troops and farming.

So the forts were built, and soldiers had not been completely sent to settle in.

There is another reason. Although building forts and roads, forming a chain defense network, the court still focused on Song Qi's thinking, recruitment as the main focus, and annihilation as the auxiliary. Song Jiu began to show his power, but Li Jiqian didn't know.

Therefore, he led a light cavalry to the south from Yinzhou, crossed the Hengshan defense line, destroyed two forts, kidnapped hundreds of civilians, and quickly went south, tearing open the defense lines of Huanqing two prefectures, crossed Huluchuan, and went straight to Huizhou. In just a blink of an eye, he took down Huizhou, which was unprepared. Later, the Song army in Qinzhou quickly rushed to rescue him. Li Jiqian considered that he was too far from Yinzhou and Dijinze, so a fire burned the city of Zhou. Thousands of officials and people in the city had time to escape and were all burned to death.

Zhao Kuangyi was furious and summoned all the prime ministers.

Song Jiu said: "Does Your Majesty use ministers to make furniture? Or do you have carpenters to make furniture? If the two ministers of the East Palace write poems and fu, even if they are ministers, they are far from being in the same way. But military affairs are not their leaders. They are not good at it, but their confidence is more foresight than them."

Another slap in the face.

Li and Song are prime ministers, and they are good at writing poems and fu. Can the prime minister only write poems and fu?

Not only did he slap in the face, he was also very rude and specialized in art. You don’t understand military affairs, so why are you calling all day long?

Lu Mengzheng asked, "Mr. Song, Huizhou is so far from Yinzhou, why did Li thieves use military force to Huizhou?"

"It's also Lingzhou."

"Lingzhou?" Even Zhao Kuangyi didn't understand very much.

"To Lingzhou, Qingzhou Road, Huanzhou Road, and Yanzhou Road, you must cross Hengshan. Tuoba Li's family has been in Dingnan for more than 100 years. Not only four prefectures and eight counties, but also surrounding areas have prestige, from northeast to Dijinze, from southeast to Baimachuan, and from Leshan, and even in Lingzhou. If Li Jiqian wins again, the Qiang will be attached to his tent. Li Jiban also saw that the court was weak and turned aside. Li Jiqian rebelled, killed officers and soldiers, and occupied Yinzhou. However, Li Jiban ignored the facts and wrote a letter to the court to continue recruiting peace. Recruiting peace? When will it be? Could it be that Li Jiqian occupied the entire northwest and had to be defeated, and the court had to be appointed as a king of the northwest?"

Zhao Kuangyi understood this sentence.

Whether it is internal affairs or military affairs, a country must use both soft and hard work, and use both kindness and power.

"So if Li Jiqian uses troops to Huizhou, if he succeeds, all three roads of Qinghuanyan will be blocked. The court wants to rescue Lingzhou, but there are only two roads, one is Huluchuan Road in Weizhou, and the other is Quwushan Road in Huizhou. However, this time, Li Jiqian used troops too hasty and felt bad after taking Huizhou, so he burned the city and returned to Yinzhou."

Zhao Kuangyi's face was so gloomy that he was afraid of others.

If what Song Jiu said is correct, then he is drawing a very bad picture.

Without occupying Yanzhou, Lingzhou and Qu Wushan, even if Li Jiqian re-owned the four states of Dingnan, it would also cause a headache for the court.

...

Looking through "The General of the Yang Family", there are heroes and treacherous ministers.

The treacherous minister is Pan Renmei, which is a bit embarrassing.

There is another person, Wang Zhi.

In fact, Song Jiu was also paying attention to this person, but the result made him very confused.

Not to mention the achievements of Xuanzhou during the Pacification of Jiangnan, let’s talk about the future. Because his people and civil and military talents were both talented, the court had planned to let him attack the Meishan barbarians. Later, when he arrived in the northwest, he immediately reported something to the court. The court set up generals in the northwest to control all ethnic groups.

But it is impossible for each general to be responsible for all matters of big or small.

In fact, some generals have made great achievements in combat, but their governance capabilities are not good.

Therefore, each general uses the tooth soldiers around him to help, but over time, these tooth soldiers have become cunning and difficult to control. The king asked the court to rotate these tooth soldiers.

Zhao Kuangyi agreed, but these soldiers were unhappy. Wang Fu selected a few of the people who led the trouble and beheaded and displayed in public.

This is in the northwest, and the real fist is the greatest. How courage does Wang need to do this?

So Song Jiu had a doubt, was this Wang Zhi also a good person and was wronged?

But Song Jiu ignored one thing, the so-called treacherous minister, who is not a capable minister?
