When Di Qing heard this, he felt a little ashamed and said: "Mr. Zhang, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet your requirements..."

Di Qing nodded.

Zhang Heng saw this and smiled slightly: "This disarmament was originally insisted on by Prime Minister Pang. He would rather risk his head to accomplish this..."

Zhang Heng sighed and said: "You don't understand me, so you have some prejudices against me. You think that as a young man, I have never even been on the battlefield, so I dare to talk in front of you, a veteran on the battlefield. This is nothing more than taking advantage of the scholar's attention."

It’s just cheap, that’s what you think?”

Zhang Heng smiled.

"Why my eyes are always full of tears is because I love this land deeply..."

Zhang Heng's face was extremely solemn and his tone was sonorous: "This time is called disarmament, but in fact it is to strengthen the army, so I request your Majesty to let you, Marshal Di, follow me and go together.

The army of the Song Dynasty was huge and chaotic. In one country, the number of forbidden troops and Xiang army soldiers was as high as 1.26 million!

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "What does Commander Di think?"

Zhang Heng said: "Generally speaking, my idea is that in order to build a strong military, we need to take the road of elite soldiers, which is to reduce quantity and improve quality!

Feiyan Soap Di Shuai should know, oh, Lin'an Trading Company, which produces soap, is my property. Lin'an Trading Company was an industry founded by me before I entered the official career. Even if I am not an official, I can still survive.

Very chic.”

Di Qing interrupted Zhang Heng.

Di Qing was an upright person. He thought so in his heart, and it showed on his face as he said with some annoyance: "I don't know how the officials will arrange it, and how I will execute it."

Zhang Heng said: "Disarmament is not an easy task, but I want to give it a try. Since I became an official, I have made the taxes of the Song Dynasty increase year by year. From the tax of 40 million yuan at the beginning of Qingli to the year before last

Eighty million guan, and next year or so, the tax may reach 100 million guan for the first time. This is all due to me.

Di Qing raised his head and looked at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng smiled and shook his head: "If you only know this, you don't understand me."

Zhang Heng looked at Di Qing with a solemn expression.

Di Qing said: "The general has been guarding the border all year round, and he has not been back in the capital for long. Being able to know this is the reason why Zhang Xianggong is so famous. The other people, the general, have not even heard of their names."

Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes and said: "The Song Dynasty only needs about 700,000 troops."

Di Qing was speechless: "..."

The total army of the Song Dynasty was about 1.26 million. Zhang Heng said that he would only retain 700,000, so he would disarm... 560,000!

Di Qing's first thought was to jump out of the car immediately, and then go back to Zhao Zhen to apologize, saying that his body had collapsed and he could not go to the northwest, so as to avoid the big trap of Zhang Heng!
