Chapter 1226

In the end, the emperor Zhao Xu carefully stored the information in his imperial study and also instructed Wang Yang that once the guards returned to the capital, he would summon him personally and take a look at the high-quality iron ore.

After four repeated discussions about the fact that the Female Direct Alliance is now tribute to the Song Dynasty, they all finally believed that there was no problem.

After all, the so-called peace between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty was just an illusion, or a hypocritical peace under the same strength.

Once the strength between the two sides is tilted, there will inevitably be a battle. However, now, from the perspective of the international and domestic situation, the Song Dynasty will probably have a greater chance of taking the lead. After all, the Song Dynasty is now well-known in martial arts, strong morale, and a rich country and strong people. It is indeed a battle.

But there are several problems that need to be solved. The first one is the attitude of the civil and military ministers of the Song Dynasty court towards war.

These guys all adhere to the principle that it is better to have less than more things than less things. It is better to have nothing to do than to have less things. We just need to embezzle bribes and scrape the land safely. Are there any crimes that are being beaten and killed?

It is better to keep the military expenditures wasted in various places so that the majority of officials can scrape more oil and water. Hello, I, Hello, everyone.

Emperor Zhao Xu was very distressed, but he had no choice but to do anything. This was not only the will of the important officials of the Song Dynasty in the court, but also the will of many local officials, and even a large number of generals also had the same meaning.

The mentality of keeping the foundation and conservative influenced the entire Song Empire. Only the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, which was polished for many years, was polished in the tempering of blood and fire, was like a sharp blade that could be unsatisfied and could be unsheathed at any time.

However, the total strength of the Song Dynasty elites on Shaanxi Road and the North Shaanxi Road is only more than 200,000. If you want to rely on more than 200,000 elite troops, you want to conquer the entire Northern Liao Dynasty. Haha...

Unless these more than 200,000 elite soldiers are really warriors who fight ten, and they have to be equipped with Yuanyou armor. Under their crotch are Dayuan horses that travel 800 miles a day, and thousands of Yuanyou stone throwing machines follow them. Wherever they go, there are flat and solid cement straight roads for them to gallop.

It is impossible at this stage. Even with the strong support of Emperor Zhao Xu, the annual output of military weapon surveillance is only 30,000 sets of Yuanyou armor, and the cavalry of the Song Dynasty is still pitifully small.

In addition, although the Yuanyou stone throwing machine is amazingly powerful, there are several major problems. First, the amount of wood needed to be consumed is an astonishing amount, and second, it is too huge, and moving, handling and even assembly requires a large amount of manpower.

As for the nearly 300,000 imperial guards stationed in the capital, they should be the main force of the Song army. However, Emperor Zhao Xu, the emperor who likes military affairs, also realized after many visits and inspections.

The combat effectiveness of these 300,000 imperial guards may be better than that of ordinary troops, but compared with the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, they are not on the same level.

This is why the emperor was very biased towards the Western Army of the Song Dynasty when allocating the weapons and armor produced by the military weapons and prisons.

In the past, more than 60% of the excellent weapons and equipment would be assigned to the imperial guards in Tunjing, and only 40% were distributed to many border troops in the world.

Nowadays, taking advantage of the war in Shaanxi, we have changed the past distribution system by taking advantage of the excuse of reforming the weapons manufacturing system of the Song Dynasty.

Every year, the Yuanyou crossbows and Yuanyoujia supplied by elite troops from Shaanxi Road and Shaanxi North Road have reached 40% of the total output of military weapons supervision.

Of the remaining 60%, the imperial guards accounted for 30%, and the other 30% were allocated to other border troops. However, the Yuanyou stone throwing machine is currently only manufactured in a small amount and distributed to Shaanxi North Road.

Because Wang Yang has discussed it with the emperor many times, he believes that the advantages and disadvantages of the Yuanyou stone throwing machine are also very obvious, and a big problem with the wooden structure weapon is that it is easy to age.

Wang Yang is confident that within three to five years, he will produce a new weapon with a power far greater than that of the Yuanyou stone thrower, and in terms of manufacturing costs and other aspects, he will have greater advantages over the Yuanyou stone thrower.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao Xu decided to continue to accumulate energy and decided to work hard to increase the strength of the Song Dynasty to wait for the opportunity. Because everything takes time to prepare.

Although he was determined to accept the loyalty expressed by the Women's Direct Alliance, Wang Yang told these bigwigs who could influence the external strategy of the Song Dynasty, that the Women's Direct People were not trustworthy.

In history, or in another historical space, the Song Dynasty also joined forces with the female direct people and supported these guys wholeheartedly. Then, both sides began to attack their common enemy, Bei Liao, but what was the result?

In the end, the Song Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of this former ally and nearly half of the land was lost. Wang Yang could not have made him happen again in front of him.

Even in that historical time and space, the female sect leader was the female sect leader Wanyan’s tribe, and now, there are only more than 10,000 people left in the female sect leader, and they are struggling to survive among the white mountains and black waters.

However, which of these alien races is not cruel, barbaric, greedy, not to mention the Yuanmeng who is still accumulating strength and ready to stretch out his more terrifying fangs at any time.

Wang Yang's opinion is that our Song Dynasty can agree to the Women's Direct Alliance to become one of the many foreign countries in our Song Dynasty, and will also provide some essential products to the Women's Direct Alliance.

However, if you want more, just talk about it. Or, make a deal with me, the Song Dynasty. For example, let the Women's Direct Alliance take over the Liaodong Peninsula and hand it over to the Song Dynasty. Then the Song Dynasty can provide them with more weapons, equipment and food.

"Liaodong Peninsula..." Emperor Zhao Xu immediately reacted immediately, and his subconscious eyes fell on the side. On the map marked by Wang Yang, there were iron ore and coal mines on the Liaodong Peninsula.

What’s important is that there is a natural good harbor on the Liaodong Peninsula, and if it is a boat ride, it can be reached in just three or five days.

As long as we mine iron ore and coal mines from the Liaodong Peninsula, we can continuously climb Jiaodong Peninsula via sea route, and then take a period of land routes and transport it to Kaifeng along the Yellow River waterway.

"Can those female Nao people agree to such conditions?" Zhang Qi closed his brows and shook his head slowly. "Not whether female Nao people agree, the Liaodong Peninsula must not have too many people. If I, the Song Dynasty, want to gain a foothold there, it will inevitably require a large number of people to migrate..."

"The solution was thought out by people. If there was really such a chance, would I, Da Song, be moved?" Su Dongpo smiled as he stroked his long beard.

"Zhang Xiang, don't underestimate people's hearts. When it comes to bewitching people's hearts, there are afraid that there are not many people who can be stronger than him. As long as your Majesty is willing, the old minister believes that Wang Wushan will definitely have a way..."

Hearing this, Wang Yang smiled shyly. "If I really get that step, I will volunteer and please be the polite envoy of Liaodong Road."
