In fact, after Wang Jinghui's operation, this memorial was made detailed explanations for the most important ministers such as the Privy Councilor Fu Bi, Chief of Staff Guo Kui, Prime Minister Han Qi, etc., and they also widely solicited their opinions. After several modifications with Wang Shao, they handed them to Yingzong Zhao Shu. It can be said that for such a long time, the senior leaders of the Song Dynasty ruled basically acquiesced to this memorial. This time, we came mainly to see if Wang Shao described in Wang Jinghui's letter as this level. After all, there were too many troops in the Song Dynasty. Wang Shao can be said to be extremely inconspicuous. It is impressive to be able to formulate such a large strategic plan with the son-in-law, especially Guo Kui. Although his staff has been built according to Wang Jinghui's intentions since its establishment, it is still an empty affair. If Wang Shao really has outstanding military talents, it is the greatest goal of Guo Kui this time.

Needless to say, Wang Jinghui's economic and cultural "soft strategy" to the Western Xia, this theory has basically been accepted by the senior leaders of the Song Dynasty, and has been applied to the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms according to Wang Jinghui's intentions. The effect is very obvious. In the Liao Kingdom, through trade and smuggling, and the dispatch of monks to move around, the number of horses contributed in more than 8,000 a year, while the official number of the Liao Kingdom is no more than 5,000, and the number of cattle, sheep and other livestock is no longer needed. These horses obtained through trade with the Liao Kingdom and the Xixia horses seized in the war have been established in the northwest of more than 43,000.

The human cavalry troops are stepping up training, and because Wang Jinghui's suggestion to use horse-raising officials among the captives of the Western Xia to raise horses, the quality of the war horse land and the birth rate of the new horse land were greatly guaranteed... All these foreign economic policies not only benefited the fiscal and taxation of the Song Dynasty, but also diversified the sources of livestock such as war horses. The senior leaders of the Song Dynasty were very satisfied with this. If the reason why the old ministers such as Han Qi and Fu Bi at the time Wang Jinghui's strategy was to prevent the new emperor from becoming obsessed with military martial arts after ascending the throne, then they no longer doubt the effectiveness of this theoretical basis.

In addition to the senior officials of the Privy Council led by Fu Bi and Guo Kui, there were also prime minister Han Qi, two deputy ministers Wu Kui and Zeng Gongliang. The meeting was held in a side hall in Fu Ning Hall, where there was a sand table that Wang Jinghui had originally given to Han Qi. It has been quite complete in recent days, not only the sand tables of Song Xia, Song and Liao, the territory of the Song Dynasty, but also the sand tables of 1,500 miles in the capital area. King Ying Zhao Xu was waiting for Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu in this side hall.

When the prime minister Han Qi saw these sand tables, he smiled slightly and looked at Wang Jinghui who was looking at him. He was quite proud. He knew that the emperor was very interested in this fresh command tool. Facing these sand tables with different signs, in addition to allowing people to see the situation around the Song Dynasty the most intuitively, there is also a feeling that the whole world is in the palm of your hand.

The Privy Councilor Fu Bi also looked at Wang Jinghui. He and Han Qi had both served as political affairs and Privy Councilor, so of course they could understand the role of sand tables in military affairs. Unfortunately, Han Qi had contact with Wang Jinghui first because he was the "Character Medical Bookstore" to make such contributions. Thinking of this, Fu Bi was a little upset: Why didn't he start a memorial to establish a Character Medical Bookstore?

This is not the first time that Chief of Staff Guo Kui has been here. Since he retreated from the northwest frontline, he has been summoned by the emperor almost every month. In the side hall of Funing Hall, he used a baton to point out the current border situation to Yingzong Zhao Shu. Most of the time, he was accompanied by King Ying Zhao Xu. The sand table has a much more practical significance to him. After all, the important task of the military staff headquarters of the Earth Empire is to explain to the emperor and all the important officials according to the sand table.

The military situation on the border. However, such a "stutor" career is about to become a thing of the past. According to the news revealed by Wang Jinghui and his private letters, the prince consort will immediately mobilize Yingzong and others to start the function of the military strategic plan of the General Staff Department. This time, Wang Shao came to Funing Hall to explain the "Song Xia Long-term Strategic Notes" is like this. Wang Jinghui had already told Guo Kui about Wang Shao's affairs. Comrade Guo Kui would naturally not let go of such strategic talents that he urgently needed.

It was Wang Shao's first time seeing a sand table. Of course, the sand table was still a secret of the Song Dynasty. It took a while before this thing could be found in the northwest battlefield. I heard Wang Jinghui talk about this before, but only when you see such a detailed sand table with your own eyes can you feel its real meaning. Wang Shao took the baton from Ying Wang Zhao Xu and began to explain the military content on the memorial on the border sand table of Song and Xia.

Wang Shao was also a candidate who participated in the scientific expedition many times, but he only worked in the Northwest Army after not gaining anything. After so many years of training, he was considered a Confucian general who was both literary and martial, and he was also organized and reasonable in analysis. Among them, Yingzong Zhao Shu, Fu Bi, Guo Kui and others interrupted his explanation and raised questions. Wang Shao had expected this situation under Wang Jinghui's solemn warning, and the answers were clear and clear, which made everyone have a very good impression of him.

Chief of Staff Guo Kui asked: "What is the situation of the Tubo tribes in the Hehuang area now? If the Song Dynasty recovered this area, how big would there be?"

Wang Shao said: "Now the Tubo tribes in the Hehuang River Basin are basically in a state of division, with very weak power, and they are surrendering to the Song Dynasty. They have helped the Song Dynasty fight against the invasion of the Western Xia many times. The Western Xia sends troops to attack the Tubo tribes in this area almost every year, and the Tubo tribes are lonely and have little effective defense against the invasion of the Western Xia. If the Western Xia conquered these Tubo tribes in the Hehuang region, it would be very unfavorable for the Song Dynasty. Just as the Song Dynasty could cut off the retreat of the Dangxiang people, if the Western Xia conquered this area, it would also give them an advantage in the confrontation between the Song and Xia borders. Therefore, the Song Dynasty must not sit idly by and must obtain Hehuang!"

At this time, Wang Jinghui added: "The land in Hehuang area is fertile, suitable for planting crops and developing agricultural production. Moreover, the Tubo tribes there once offered horses to our Song Dynasty, and it is also suitable for pastures. Horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock are suitable for growing there. The border of Songxia is far away from the center of Song Dynasty. It is not only time-consuming to transport various supplies to the border. The loss is also shocking. If the land in the Hehuang River Basin is taken, the Song Dynasty can develop military reclamation here to supplement food, war horses and other materials, which is very conducive to reducing domestic military expenditures!"

After hearing this, Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu said, "Oh?! So since the Song Dynasty must get here, what are the strategies of the two beloved ministers?"

Wang Shao replied: "I and my son-in-law have carefully discussed how to take Hehuang and merge into our Song Dynasty. What we have received is just the four words "hardness and softness"! These Tubo tribes are all determined to naturalize our Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty only needs to make a promise to help them fight against the Xixia in exchange for their surrender. Therefore, we do not need to use troops to fight against the Xixia tribes, but to provide them with support at the appropriate time to resist the invasion of the Xixia territory, or to directly send troops to help them fight against the Xixia, or to provide weapons, money, food and other materials to support them. Both are possible. Xixia has just been defeated by the Song Dynasty, so I think that within three or four years, the Dangxiang people should not have the courage to provoke trouble on the border of Song and Xia. If the remaining power of this victory is used to intervene in Hehuang, then Xixia dares to be angry but dare not speak out!"

After hearing this, Fu Bi, Guo Kui and other officials nodded in agreement and agreed. Yingzong Zhao Shu asked again: "Then when are you planning to take this Hehuang land?"

Wang Shao frowned and said, "I am just a martial artist, but with the emperor's edict, I will do my best to expand the territory for the emperor! However, the prince-consort has some very good views on this, so the emperor may wish to take a look."

Yingzong Zhao Shu looked at his son-in-law with a smile and said, "Mr. Concubine, since you have a good period, you might as well tell me and all the ministers!"

Wang Jinghui made it clear to the time when to deal with Xixia. He had already made it clear to some of the most important officials of the court that Yingzong Zhao Shu should not be unaware of his thoughts, and other ministers were also very clear. He was not a war-weary faction. For him, relying on the existing conditions of the Song Dynasty, it would not be a problem to kill Xixia within a few years. Xixia was just his springboard, used to establish the expansion determination that the top leaders of the Song Dynasty ruled were on the verge of bankruptcy. But looking at Zhao Shu's posture, it seemed that he was about to start to execute his memorials?

Wang Jinghui pondered for a while and decided on his previous thoughts and said to Zhao Shu: "Sage, according to the current situation of the Song Dynasty, we can only prioritize the development of our own strength, and we can only use 'soft confrontation' to weaken the enemy's country and strengthen ourselves. Moreover, Xixia is now in internal strife due to the new emperor's demise. If we take military action against Xixia rashly, Xixia will quickly end the internal strife under external pressure and continue to the outside world. At that time, the Song Dynasty will pay unnecessary huge losses! Therefore, my suggestion is not to touch Xixia now and vigorously develop its own people's livelihood economy. In just five or six years, the Song Dynasty can accumulate preparations to launch a war to destroy Xia, and strive to invite the lord of Xixia to Kaifeng, Biandu to pay his respects to the emperor sooner or later!"

To be honest, when Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu saw this memorial, he was still very eager to make such merits during his reign. After all, his body was not very healthy, and it was hard to say whether he could live until that day. Every word of Wang Jinghui's words struck his heart like a bell, like a basin of cold water extinguished his fiery heart again. Although his words were not in line with Zhao Shu's wishes, he could tell that this was a good word. Even if he took 10,000 steps back, Wang Jinghui launched a military offensive against Xixia in advance, and Prime Minister Han Qi and other ministers would strongly oppose it. Without the consent of these old ministers, the emperor would clear them all out, unless the emperor cleared them all out, the edict without the signature of Zhongshu would have no legal effect.

Although Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu was a little disappointed, he also knew that Wang Jinghui's words were reasonable and correct. He squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "The prince-in-law is loyal to the Song Dynasty. I and all my dear friends understand it in my heart! I have also been approved by the memorials submitted by you and Wang Ganjun. I heard that Wang Shao was still joining the army of the Jianchang Army. Now the Privy Council is forming the Imperial General Staff Department. My dear friends can go to the General Staff Department first, and in addition, they can enter the prince's mansion to teach King Ying's military strategy."

Wang Jinghui had long guessed that Wang Shao was able to enter the mansion of King Ying Zhao Xu, Mr. Ren, this was the result of him taking Wang Shao to meet King Ying Zhao Xu yesterday. It is estimated that Zhao Xu would definitely have entered the palace to meet the saint last night, so that this effect would be achieved.

Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu was not an excessive appointment to Wang Shao, so he got civil servants such as Han Qi, but they did not realize that a tradition had finally begun to loosen under Wang Jinghui's planning - military officers would definitely be impeached by civil servants when they entered the Privy Council! Although the Imperial General Staff is still a chick now, it is directly affiliated with the Privy Council. When Wang Jinghui designed the land like this, he was designed to arrange military officers to enter the Privy Council. In his eyes, it was hard to imagine that a central command organization with the highest military force in a country was actually a forbidden area for the truly leading generals.

The reason why the Song Dynasty formed such a tradition was to prevent the military generals from taking power, but such preventive measures were too much. Military generals had almost no confidence in the court, and most positions like Privy Councilors were only held by officials who had worked as political leaders. There were many obstacles in the customs of entering the Privy Council. Even military generals who made meritorious service on the frontier were recalled to Kaifeng, Bian Capital, and first entered the Privy Council. They were severely attacked by the civil servant system for a few months and then sent to local officials. Whether it was Renzong.

Both Di Wuxiang and Guo Kui of the times are not exceptional. Even Cao Bin, the grandfather of Empress Dowager Cao in Cishou Palace, cannot get rid of such fate. In order to dig a hole in this tradition, Wang Jinghui himself has been making preparations and constantly improving the functions of the General Staff. It seems that the effect seems to be good so far. I believe that in a few years or decades, the stubborn tradition of the Song Dynasty will inevitably move in a better direction. At least in terms of national military operations, people from generals will participate in the planning.

After the Funing Palace discussed the matter, Wang Jinghui achieved his goal - to excavate Wang Shao from the low-level officers in the Song Dynasty, so that the high-level rulers of the Song Dynasty could use this genius general. However, according to the history that Wang Jinghui knew, Wang Shao was basically on the frontier after being excavated by Wang Anshi, and the position given to Wang Shao by Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu in history was also the chief of the Qin Fenglu Strategic Pacification Envoy. I don’t know what consequences such a change would bring, but overall, Wang Shao had formed his own strategic ideas at this time, and Wang Jinghui’s “intention from time to time” made Wang Jinghui basically feel relieved.

When Wang Jinghui returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion from the palace, many people had visited or sent invitations in the Prince Consort's Mansion. He is now an important figure in the cultural, economic and political circles of the Song Dynasty. With his frequent moves in these aspects and achieving good results, the reputation of this Prince Consort has also risen and become more and more popular. Whether it is a young official in the radical or a conservative official, he has a very good impression of this well-behaved and steady prince.

The sources of invitations in Wang Jinghui's hands are from various categories, including invitations from literati, officials, and merchants. The members of the Commercial Press also collectively sent an invitation, hoping that Wang Jinghui could attend a party. The members of the jury themselves are composed of literary masters of the most famous party. Now, with the release of "Mei Xue" and the further expansion of the influence of this jury, it has almost become the gods in the hearts of all scholars in the world. The members here are as bright as stars like constellations.

In addition to the invitations from the jury, there are also invitations from the King of Dongyang County Zhao Hao and the Chamber of Commerce of the Chuzhou Commercial Group to live in Kaifeng... But what attracted Wang Jinghui the most was an invitation from the Hanlin scholar Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi sent him an invitation, which was incredible and reasonable in Wang Jinghui's heart. Since he came to this time and space, the Song Dynasty has changed too many times, and although it is not beyond recognition from the Song Dynasty in history, this huge change is undoubtedly a fantasy if it is placed in the eyes of later historians of his time and space.

Everything Wang Jinghui has done now is almost a miniature version of the "Xining Reform", but he did better and more steady than Wang Anshi. In the same year, he also introduced the Qingmiao Law and the Immune Law. Although the content in the middle has changed a lot and the effect is relatively slow, it has not been exchanged for unanimous opposition and rebuke from the government and the public like Wang Anshi in history. Almost most officials agreed with his reforms in their hearts. Although Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu did not have the strongest self as he encountered gods and killed gods like Emperor Yingzong Zhao Xu, he also gave great strength. Wang Jinghui saw these things, and he even felt that he had taken a big step and could promote these two new measures harmlessly to the entire Song Dynasty. The benefits it produced were already very great. What he did now is to be steady, steady and steady. Once he got up quickly, it would definitely bring endless trouble to himself.
