Zhao Bing knew that many dynasties in history had implemented military camps. In the early days, they played a huge role in consolidating border defense and raising troops. However, they often became a breeding ground in the later period and eventually collapsed. The most representative one was the military camps of the Song and Ming dynasties.

Because of the independent country, the Song Dynasty had always faced the invasion of the nomadic peoples in the north, and with the heavy money to win over military officials, the cost of raising soldiers was always high. The way to solve the financial difficulties was nothing more than to snatch money from the people. If you have no money, you need to open source, such as building some industries. After the southward transition, the imperial court could control less and less land, so the public land law was introduced.

The idea of ​​the public land law is to buy land and raise soldiers. By purchasing land from the people, the farming is used to pay the military pay for the garrison throughout the year, the spring and winter clothes, the martial arts cost, and the officials ask for money. In addition to buying land, there are also military farming and land. The so-called land for camping is to "summon people to farm and share the benefits of the children."

In short, the Southern Song Dynasty later adopted the Public Land Law and spent money to buy land from the landlords again. However, I was afraid of any problem. However, the Southern Song Dynasty court originally had insufficient money, so they bought it directly with paper money. Everyone knew that the thing depreciated quickly. Later, because the opposition was too loud and the certificate of decree was too strong, this thing could bring a lot of convenience, so it was also the hard currency at that time. Therefore, the Public Land Law offended many people and had a great impact on the people, but it finally alleviated the current dilemma of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, it also led to the increasingly sharp class contradictions, and the peasant uprising became more and more intense. Everyone knows what happened later.

The same was true for the later Ming Dynasty. The environment in the late Ming Dynasty, readers who are familiar with history, know it was a typical internal and external trouble. The most serious thing was that the Ming Dynasty could not raise taxes and could not confiscate troops. At that time, the large households that occupied a large amount of land and population not only annexed land but also embezzled military camps. Because no one touched them, they were fearless.

In the late Ming Dynasty, when the military camp system was in name only, Sun Chuanting, the Northwest garrison, was forced to helplessly, even made a solution to the problem that he did not need the court to allocate military salaries. His confidence was to use his arms to regain the land occupied by some people. During the Ming Dynasty, 24,000 troops were accumulated around Xi'an and more than 20,000 hectares of land. Later, the fields were occupied by local wealthy families, and the soldiers became symbols on the list.

During the period when Sun Chuanting was in charge of military affairs in Shaanxi, in order to expand his military power and food and pay, he used various means to regain military garrisons for local large households. He finally obtained 11,000 soldiers and collected annual taxes of 145,000 taels of silver and 13,500 shi of rice and wheat. The military strength and financial resources of the Ming army were greatly restored, but with the intervention of Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting was forced to leave the customs early to fight, and his measures were put into vain.

When Zhao Bing first recovered Jiangnan, in the face of financial difficulties, he still issued an order to strictly prohibit the army from garrisoning and participating in business activities, which was because he was worried about repeating the same mistake. After entering the Central Plains, the Mongolian and Yuan army still adopted the nomadic warfare method. The country did not bear military expenses, and the army still solved the problem by each army. Therefore, it became a natural thing to divide the land and implement military camps.

However, the Mongol Yuan did not have effective measures to prevent the drawbacks of military garrisons, and all kinds of evil consequences followed. The greedy nature made the nobles and generals invade land and population more and use various privileges to make money and exploit the income of the encroached households and soldiers. This is also an important reason for the decline in combat effectiveness of the Mongol Yuan army. At present, Sang Ge not only examined local finances and investigated the invaded property, but the increase in taxes greatly reduced the income of local military generals, but the court would not bear the cost of sending troops, so naturally he was not so active before...

"Supreme Han, why do I feel more confused after your analysis? Since Yuxi Timur lacks money and is difficult to invade the south, why do you oppose the retreat?" After listening to Han Zhen's analysis of the situation for a long time, everyone agreed, but the more Chen Renweng heard, the more he became, the more he was wrong. Isn't his statement contradictory and couldn't help asking.

"Shangshu Chen, what I mean is one of the reasons why the Mongol Yuan was reluctant to move troops, but it was not that Yuxi Timuer had given up on the idea of ​​invading the south!" Han Zhen didn't realize that there was any problem with his words.

"Oh, I'd like to hear it carefully!" Chen Renweng was stunned and said a little embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty, my colleagues, I think Yuxi Timur did not give up on the idea of ​​invading the south. There are three reasons: one is that the Mongol Yuan raided our dynasty's riverside area intensified; the other is that Sang Ge's new policy has intensified the conflict between the Mongol Yuan court and the local area, and it is almost impossible to get into the point. As a guardian in one place, if he wants to resolve it, the South Invasion is still the best way to transfer the conflict; the third is that Sang Ge and him should be in the same party. Although the two have tacit understanding, they are not without conflicts. Therefore, they are both using each other and guarding each other. At present, the two Huai Rivers have increased taxes by hundreds of thousands of yuan, which has already achieved the ability to bear the burden of the land and attract the dissatisfaction of the troops stationed in various places. They must also be dissatisfied, thinking that Sang Ge is interested in suppressing it. The Mongols value military merits the most. Invading the South Invasion can not only relieve the crisis they face, but also gain further trust from the real gold!"

"Well, there are some truths, you continue to say." Zhao Bing nodded and said. He understood that Han Zhen's intention was that although the Mongol Yuan had not taken action for a long time, the fundamentals of the southern invasion were not eliminated, but it was just a lack of opportunity.

"I think the reason why the Mongol Yuan did not take action was mainly because of some concern. First, Zhenjin is currently advocating peace talks in order to gain time to stabilize the court and improve finances. Therefore, it is against the original intention of Zhenjin to take the initiative to provoke war. In addition, Yuxi Timuer has always been in charge of the northern military and fights against the invasion of the rebels. He is not a reckless person, and should be afraid of the combat effectiveness of our army. After all, he took the lead in raiding to face the siege of nearly 200,000 troops in Jiangdong. In addition, he is afraid of His Majesty's reputation, and he has tens of thousands of elite imperial guards under his command. If he wants to seize Lin'an, he must have a battle, and he is not sure of winning!" Han Zhen explained.

"The Deputy Envoy of South Korea meant that the Mongolian and Yuan army had been reluctant to cross the river, but frequently sent troops to harass the front line of Kunshan to create tension, and intended to transfer our main force from Lin'an and attract our Jiangkou area!" Zhao Bing touched his chin and frowned.

"Well, I think the enemy is exactly this!" Han Zhen nodded and said.

"Did Deputy Envoy Han's idea be too self-righteous!" Liu Zhu then continued, "This statement from Deputy Envoy Han is completely different from the strategy of luring the enemy into depth. It completely subverts the idea at that time, but it is erected with the holy intention."

"Yes, Deputy Envoy Han intended to take His Majesty to the commander in person. When the discussion was held, several prime ministers and empress dowagers strongly opposed it. Now you are instigating again, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the ministers? Besides, it is clear that Yuxi Timur set up a trap at the moment. Wouldn't your Majesty take risks with you? If you make any mistakes, you will be a sinner for the ages!" Chen Renweng also frowned, and his words were already ruthless.

"I just talk about the matter, not having other distractions, nor do I have the intention to deceive Your Majesty!" Faced with a big hat, Han Zhen did not give in to what he thought, and turned back lukewarmly.

"Deputy Envoy Han, His Majesty needs a reason to leave the capital. Could it be that if Yuxi Timur will send troops to invade the south by leading the imperial army to parade?" Liu Zhu said with a hint of amusement.

"This... I haven't thought of a suitable reason yet!" Han Zhen was asked. He knew that the emperor's departure from Jing was a big deal and could not control it. He went to Kunshan under the name of the imperial commander in person, and I'm afraid Yuxi Timur would really give up the invasion of the south.

"Does everyone think it's a pity to give up this battle?" Zhao Bing listened to everyone's argument, pondered for a moment, then asked after pressing his hands to silence them.

"Your Majesty, this battle has been planned for several months, and it has mobilized nearly 100,000 troops from the two Shuiwen armies, moved inward to tens of thousands of people, and raised a large number of military supplies. I feel it is a pity to stop here." Chen Renweng sighed and said.

"I also feel that I have paid too much in the early stage. If I withdraw my troops silently, I will be impeached by the civil servants and I will inevitably affect the morale of the army and bring shame to the soldiers!" Lu Shi Wenyan said.

"That's true. The Mongol Yuan frequently invaded the border, and our army did nothing. Not only were we considered afraid of the enemy and fearful battles, but we would just spend food and pay, but we would also lose the hearts of the people!" Su Liuyi, the doctor of the Infantry Department, looked at the face of the little emperor and said.

"So, everyone hopes to fight with the Mongolian Yuan!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"I am willing to fight with the enemy and be loyal to the country!" The generals looked at each other and stood up to salute.

"Okay, so I will give Yuxi Timuer a reason to start a war!" Zhao Bing knew that although the generals had just fought and retreated and argued with each other, they actually wanted to fight with the enemy in their hearts. After all, they gave up easily after planning for such time, and no one was willing to give up, so he slapped the table and said.

"We will obey the saint's order!" The generals gave a deep bow and said in unison, their voices increased by octave compared to the debate just now. Although they were forced to calm down, they could also see that they could not hide their excitement.

When the generals were arguing, Zhao Bing also reexamined the previous combat plan in his mind, which was based on the enemy's attack first and their defensive counterattack. But under the current situation, it is obviously no longer applicable. If you want to fight, you must make adjustments to your previous combat plan. He thought that since the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty had some concerns and refused to take the lead, he would start the war first.

Zhao Bing then readjusted his thinking and made a rough idea. His troops were deployed unchanged, and the mission of the Eastern Front Corps remained unchanged, and he still set up an ambush in Kunshan; while the first army on the Western Front changed the waiting time to attack Yangzhou to take the initiative to attack, and still implemented the strategy of besieging the city and attacking aid. In this way, the army would not cause major changes in the preliminary preparations due to changes in strategic intentions, but the pressure faced by the Western Front Corps would undoubtedly increase, but it also gave him the reason to lead the army in person...
