Chapter 102 Political Reform

The Tang army fought hundreds of battles, and even the wolf cavalry in the desert were invincible and could not resist the enemy. They reached the vast sea, the Beiting, the Western Regions, and even crossed the Palacioles and the Nanzhao, and the Tang army traveled across the east, north and Asia in the world. In the time of the world, no one could defeat them. In the famous Battle of Henglus, the Tang army fought against the elite Arab cavalry six times that of its own. They were not defeated for two days and three nights, and they relied on the famous cavalry and invasion coordination tactics.

The cavalry surrounded the two wings, and the infantry carried a sword in his hand, and they were shattered like a wall. They were wearing bright light armor, and ordinary swords were hard to be injured. In addition, they were well-trained and were all elite professional soldiers who had been guarding the border for a long time. They wanted to benefit them in advance, and the Tang army won every battle. The reason was nothing more than training. They fought for a long time and had elite armored soldiers.

As a general in commanding the army, Yue Fei was familiar with history books and military books. How could he not understand the truth? As soon as Li Gang finished speaking, he was overjoyed and suddenly stood up and bowed: "This is simply overjoyed. If more than 10,000 sword players in the army were replaced by Mo Dao, even if they encountered enemy cavalry, our infantry would have the power to fight!"

At that time, the methods of cavalry of the Jin soldiers did not actually exert the cavalry tactics to the extreme. Like Mongolian cavalry, when dealing with heavy infantry, they first used light cavalry to plunder and guerrillas to harass the enemy, but they did not attack, track, shoot archery, and harass them. When the enemy was exhausted, they then surrounded the two wings and the heavy cavalry broke into the center. Such a tactic was impossible for European heavy armored cavalry to resist. At this time, the Jin soldiers were stronger than when they were founded in Mongolia. Although their cavalry skills were not inferior to Mongolia, they only had a strong national strength.

Pay attention to the construction of heavy cavalry, and ignore the corresponding number of light cavalry. In this way, with the heavy infantry of the Song army, plus a large number of Modao and shields, although the enemy is heavy cavalry and can break through the first few layers of defense, the Song army won by the number of people and used heavy infantry to fight against the heavy cavalry that fought hard against the dead, Wanyan Zongbi's crooked horse Tiefutu. This is why he suffered several defeats in the hands of the Song army's infantry. The heavy infantry of the Song army after equipped with Modao will surely play a greater role, but he taught Yue Fei how to not be happy and difficult to control himself.

Li Gang was also happy, his face was swept away, and he smiled at everyone, "I just knew that General Yue must be happy before he spoke. As expected, not only the Modao, but also the armor must be equipped in large quantities in the future. Your Majesty said, why did the imperial court save money? I saved the people's strength, and I was also rich in the Song Dynasty, so I levy so much land taxes. In fact, there are many miscellaneous taxes. The Tang Dynasty only collected two taxes, and there were additional taxes in addition to the two taxes in the Song Dynasty. The people had long been unable to bear the suffering. Therefore, the Supreme Emperor collected flowers and stones in the past, and the two Xi was reversed. This is the lesson of the past."

When he said this, he had a sneer on his face. When Zhao Ji conquered Flowers and Shi Gang, few people in the world agreed. Because Cai Jing was powerful and few people dared to speak, Li Gang was one of the people who spoke against him. So now he spoke rudely to Zhao Ji, and others listened solemnly, and no one dared to say that he was rude and offend him.

Li Gangping was upset and said, "So, we need to reduce miscellaneous taxes, how can we avoid it? We have to use money everywhere. We can only get rid of prefectures and counties and reduce redundant officials and redundant soldiers."

Having said this, he walked around himself.

Seeing Fan Chong smile, Li Gang also woke up. But he smiled bitterly and said to him: "Actually, the truth is that. When it is really done, it is hard to do it. I have been on the Southwest Road in Beijing for more than two years, providing a large army and subordinates with major war and defense. During this period, I have been able to help local officials. If you make merit, no one is worse than ordinary people. I will be in trouble with them now. If everyone asks me, it is indeed difficult to reply."

Li Gang sighed and frowned. The enthusiasm that had just spoken the truth had disappeared.

Yue Fei realized at this time that the officials were not happy just now, but they did not see him because they were fighting with Li Gang, which involved his own job, but no wonder those people were angry.

He was uneasy and wanted to say a few words, but he knew that he was really naive in politics. The emperor and the Shufu scolded him many times, but he had already remembered the lesson. When encountering such political events, he did not dare to interrupt. He just thought of his intention, and felt anxious.

But when Li Gang stood up, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back for a few times, and finally said to Fan Chong:

"Things still have to be done. It is up to you. If someone makes things difficult for him, let him come and find me."

"Okay!" Fan Chong waited for Li Gang's words, and immediately stood up, bowed to Li Gang, and laughed: "This is the style of beating the drum and defeating the thief, summoning the king's army to serve the king, and the country's most important minister."

"The southwest road of Jingxi is under the control of Xiangyang, with a total of eight prefectures and one army, Xiangzhou, Dengzhou, Suizhou, Jinzhou, Fangzhou, Junzhou, Yingzhou, Tangzhou, and Guanghua Army. According to the decision of the Zhengshitang, the important military and national areas of Xiangzhou cannot be abolished. The remaining prefectures are combined into four prefectures, fifty-six counties, and twenty-three counties are left. The general sacked the yamen and related officials and reported them to the Zhengshitang. The dismissal of all officials will be dismissed, and the three levels of the lower level will be arranged."

He looked tired, looked at Fan Chong who was standing bent, and finally waved: "Sir Fan, go, just do this. If you have something to come to find me, if I have me here, I will never teach you to make things difficult for you."

"Yes, I'll start now, but please don't worry, I won't push everything onto the adults. I also know that the adults are in a difficult situation."

Fan Chong bowed and nodded and smiled at Yue Fei and his son, then said goodbye.

Li Gang didn't send him away, but just went to the door to watch Fan rushing, then turned to Yue Fei and smiled: "The general must be coming here for military use."

Yue Fei stood up and replied respectfully: "That's right, it's not as expected by my husband."

Li Gang returned to his seat and sat down, and said calmly: "If you don't come to look for me, you will also ask someone to come to find you."

He was about to talk about military affairs, but Yue Fei couldn't help but be curious and asked Li Gang:

"I just don't understand what Master Fan said just now, and I will ask my husband to teach you."

"Oh? How come I don't understand?"

Yue Fei knew that it was a taboo for military generals to interfere in politics. Seeing Li Gang's serious question, he smiled and said, "The last general is just curious. If it is the relevant obstacle, my husband doesn't have to answer."

Li Gang also smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you and I'll just chat."
