Zhao Kuangyi was very happy. He always thought that his throne was not right, so he did it all, but wasn’t it just to get the people to recognize it, the three armies to recognize it, make the throne safe and the country peaceful? But no one knew what he intended, but instead tried to stop it.

But Song Jiu did this better.

So he came to Hezhou amid the cheers of the people, watched a Cuju game, and then returned.

Song Jiu invited Zhao Kuangyi to the Western Palace again and called out twenty minor officials to let them play chess.

Zhao Kuangyi was even more curious, watching Song Jiu while watching chess.

After playing the chess, Song Jiu said: "There are also various formations for Cuju competitions, but those who are smart will have different physical qualities, such as having strong strength, running fast, or having a good sense of ball, and then they will be able to win. Furthermore, if they play chess, some like cannons, some like cars, some like horses, and some even be good at pawns. This is just a chess game with dozens of chess pieces, and a 22-person ball game will actually cause so many changes. If it is placed in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops, how many changes will there be?"

Talk about the serious business.

Zhao Kuangyi was obviously understanding and silent.

Song Jiu pulled out what he was deliberately asking for in the spring, and the report from King Yuxi and others of Zhang and Wang, said: "Some of them are right, but they are not accurate. For example, Zhang and others said that they set up two towns so that Hedong and Hebei can command unifiedly, and no longer fight on their own, a basin of loose sand so that the Liao people can defeat each of them, and concentrate their troops to fight back the enemy. However, have they ever thought that if that happens, once they lose control, the Anshi Rebellion is not a lesson from the past."

"It's the one among you." Zhao Kuangyi said.

This is a good comrade, which hit his heart.

"So in the spring, Your Majesty conscripted all the ministers and talked about military affairs. In fact, it was just a little bit of a problem, but they also had advantages. For example, after the implementation of our military system, the Anshi Rebellion, the separatist rule of the vassal states, the Five Dynasties, and even the source of the ancient times. The Western Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties fought for the throne, and the dictatorship of the eunuchs in the Eastern Han Dynasty, etc., would no longer happen. Therefore, I did not understand it until this battle of Xuhe, and there was a way to take into account both."

"Tell me." Zhao Kuangyi became interested.

He was not a stubborn person, but the guy who was stubborn in the East Mansion. Zhao Pu and Zhao Pu and Song Jiu were both optimistic about a little guy. In fact, when Song Jiu proposed to give power to various regiments and defense envoys, Zhao Kuangyi thought about it. It might not be a regiment training envoy and defense envoy. This refers to the deployment of a state and the top generals of several states, but it was not a whole way. He would not have many troops in his hands, so he would not dare to have the idea of ​​An Lushan. So he agreed.

However, it cannot solve the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty's military system. Although all states deployed some troops, they were not too many, and were somewhat controlled by the prefect, so the Liao army went south and was unstoppable. Unless Li Jilong's two miraculous battles were fought every game.

Zhao Kuangyi also knows the interests between the middle, but can the temporary gains and losses of the border be compared with the major national security? He can only choose the best and abandon the shortcomings.

It would be best if Song Jiu could come up with a way to take into account both.

"Your Majesty, the actual solution to it is very simple, Li Jilong has already mentioned it."

"Um."

"That is the temporary authorization system. When a large number of enemy enemies attack, a virtuous and brave general can be selected from the two defense zones of Hedong and Hebei, and temporarily grant him the right to command all generals and soldiers along the way so that they can be unified, coordinated and concentrated their forces. After the enemy enemies go, this power will be taken back. At the same time, it is clear that if the generals do not attack, they will obtain authorization from the court with false information. They can refuse their command. It is further stipulated that this general cannot command the generals to retreat too deeply, in order to prevent heavy troops from leading back to the capital to rebel and rebellion. Then the troubles of the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty can be solved."

"This is a good plan. If you want to think more carefully, write a note to me at the court meeting, so that all the ministers can discuss and improve it together."

In fact, when Song Renzong was in the reign of Emperor Renzong, all ministers realized this problem, so they appeared in Shaanxi to appease the government and recruit this strange official position, and they also served as all military, political and financial powers in several border defense states to ensure unified command. However, at that time, military generals had no right to speak. It was civil officials who were fighting, and eunuchs who were fighting. Although the defects were corrected, could these civil officials really fight well? Some people said that Han Qi was a military strategist, and he was still a military strategist when he fought like that? Then wasn’t Li Jilong even more awesome than Li Jing?

But it is still time to change at this time!

Song Jiu slowly stated the second reform plan: "Your Majesty gave the formation map to the generals on the front line, but the wars ahead were unpredictable. For example, in the Battle of Xuhe, Li Jilong originally planned to use tens of thousands of cavalry to consume the Liao bandits on the north bank of the Tang River, and then the army in the city came out to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. However, Yin Jilun advanced alone, disrupting Li Jilong's deployment, but this situation was more beneficial. If Li Jilong insisted on the original plan, would he have such a great victory?"

Zhao Kuangyi's face became gloomy again.

Song Jiu ignored him and continued, "This is Li Jilong's record that he achieved with both wisdom and courage. What about other people? At least His Majesty controls the general direction and will not make serious mistakes for the frontline soldiers. If in Xiongzhou, if the generals obey His Majesty's edict, would there be such a crushing defeat?"

Zhao Kuangyi's expression improved only then.

Kou Zhun believed that Song Jiu had less character, but he couldn't do good things, so why did he have a strong character? No matter if it was a black cat and a white cat, only if he could catch it, he could be considered a good cat.

Song Jiu continued, "So it seems to be difficult to achieve both. Therefore, Zhang and others wrote a letter. Although they saw one side of the disadvantages, they did not see the other side of the disadvantages. After thinking for a long time, they had an immature idea in their hearts. Many veterans retreated from the front line. They were experienced and all stayed in Luoyang. Although the court occasionally asked them to come to the academy to teach martial arts, there were very few people in the academy who could become generals. Generals were tempered in battle. How many geniuses have there been since ancient times? If they only read military books and strategies, they did not know how to adapt and did not train, they might only become the second Zhao Kuo to harm Ji and the country. Therefore, I believe that a staff officer could be established in the Western Prefecture.

There will be major military operations, and the generals will discuss with the General Office. One person's ideas will make mistakes, and there will be dozens of people, and each of them is a veteran from the front line. Then the ideas will be perfected. If there is any dispute, Your Majesty will be enough to make a decision. Then it is not only your Majesty's wisdom, but also a draft of the wisdom decision of dozens of experienced generals. Then the resolution will be issued to the front line. In order to prevent changes in the front line, only a large framework is made, just like Your Majesty's edict is given by Li Jilong. Let the front line generals play freely under this large framework, without water and soldiers, so the front line generals have room to play freely, and can avoid serious mistakes from the front line generals."

That is, as soon as the Staff Office comes out, don’t do the so-called formation map anymore.

"This, let me think about it again."

This time, Song Jiu did not follow Zhao Kuangyi, and it was rare to have an opportunity. If he did not take advantage of this momentum, he might not have the chance to change in the future. Zhao Kuangyi gave the formation map, and Song Zhenzong gave the formation map in the future. Or other emperors in the future will give the formation map. This is awesome!

Therefore, he said: "Your Majesty, please think twice. Li Jilong is the best in today's famous general. He made an edict in Mancheng, he made an edict in Shuozhou. He made an edict in Dingzhou. Why, is it because Your Majesty's decision not good? No. Your Majesty's decision was the situation before, and when he was in his hands, the situation was different, so it must change. If Your Majesty insists, then those who can fight, such as Li Jilong, will continue to make edicts. Sooner or later, will make Your Majesty dissatisfied. This is still good. Even those who cannot fight will learn from Li Jilong's edicts. The edict is not here, and these people will harm the country."

In fact, he really wanted to make it clear.

Do you want to learn from Li Shimin, do you have the ability? Every time Li Shimin and Yuchi Jingde fight, they will lead the way, one holding a hearing spear and the other holding a bow, as if they are in a state of no one. You also hold a bow, what can you shoot? Mrs. Huarui!

It’s better to learn from Liu Bang obediently and use Xiao He, Han Xin and Zhang Liang to calmly win the world.

But it cannot be said that Liu Bang's ability among the founding kings was really poor.

As soon as he said, Zhao Kuangyi must have been angry. I am so capable, just a little Liu Bang. In fact, it is not easy for Liu Bang. How many people can do the ability to control and employ people?

Therefore, it also added: "The late emperor will win every plan when he is in the battle. It is good. I have seen it with my own eyes, but who is to see it? If it is the southern Han Dynasty of Bashu, even if His Majesty's talent can be achieved. However, facing Hedong, the late emperor's capital came to the front line to command, but he had won Taiyuan, let alone the opponent was a Khitan a hundred times stronger than the Northern Han Dynasty. Your Majesty's internal governance has surpassed the late emperor, and its territory is much better than the late emperor. Taiyuan, Zhangquan, Wuyue, and it is determined that it will be recovered one after another. The love of the people, Your Majesty has also seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, so don't prove anything."

"you!"

"I am planning for the Song Dynasty for thousands of years! Your Majesty, I have to say that! The soldiers on the front line fought bloody battles and did not surrender until they died. I also went deep into the land of the desperate area, so that the Song Dynasty could become more prosperous, and Your Majesty became a great wise ruler in order to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

This made Zhao Kuangyi soften again.

That's right. Song Jiu suffered a lot for this country. Why? With this boy's temper, if he talks about his status, no one would believe it. He sighed and said, "Then you can write a report."

"Hey, I will talk about the third thing, that is, the fortresses on the front line. The defense of fortresses has existed since ancient times, and our dynasty has been carried forward. Then, after my suggestion, it became more dense. It cannot be said that it does not work, and it somewhat prevented the speed of the enemy's advancement, otherwise the Liao invaders might have been under the capital city when the last invasion. The northwest fortresses is more obvious. Due to the dense mountainous areas in the northwest, the roads are more rugged, and the forts are blocked, and the various tribes are inconvenient to connect, so it is difficult for the powerful chiefs of all tribes to strengthen their own divisions.

The tribe's forces gradually entered a stable state of governance, otherwise the rebellion would be even worse. However, as Zhang Shi said, it also has many shortcomings. The forts and forts were built, and the troops were severely dispersed, so they were easily defeated by the Liao bandits. I have been thinking about this problem during this period. Especially in Hebei, there are many plains, if there is no forts and forts, the situation will be even worse. If a fort is built, there is no danger to defend, and it will be divided and easily destroyed by the enemy. However, Yang Yanzhao's miscellaneous recession on Suicheng gave me an inspiration."

"He Shu?"

"Your Majesty, look." Song Jiu took out a memorial.

This was proposed by Song Jiu when the father and son of the Yang family returned to Beijing to recuperate their posts and married Yang Yanzhao, and when the father-in-law and son-in-law were talking to Song Jiu. Yang Yanzhao returned to Suicheng and was thinking about the solution. Finally, he came up with a solution.

Hebei’s defense is not Xishan, so it is not difficult to defend, mainly in the plains on the east side of Xishan.

However, there is also a terrain here, with dense rivers and swamps and lakes everywhere. Therefore, Yang Yanzhao came out to dig a lot of ponds at the border, and then planted shrubs such as thorns and willows, using ponds, lakes and swamps as the first water city, and letting the thick shrubs as the second wood Great Wall.

"This is a good idea."

"Well, I will add another strategy. The disadvantage of fortresses is that they are divided into troops. Therefore, I believe that choosing a few key places for each state army to build a real big fortress. If the state finance allows it, it is even willing to use cement brick walls to replace it. After such a fortress comes out, the Liao army is not good at attacking the city, so it will not be able to break through. The surrounding small fortresses will not be cancelled, after all, they will play a joint defense role. If most of the enemy attacks arrive, the soldiers of the small fortresses surrounding the major fortresses quickly retreat to the major fortresses. Then the joint defense function is The delay in the advancing speed of the enemy invaders so that the rear can be prepared, and the defect of division of troops has also been partially solved. Even in just two years, the country will further recover and its troops will be restored. Then this method can be used to gradually recover Yizhou, and even press forward step by step. Starting from Yizhou, it will gradually invade the Liao Kingdom step by step. If you fight, fighting in the mountainous areas will be beneficial to our army. If you don’t fight, our army will gradually occupy the entire Yanyun Mountain Area, condescending, and the plains will be threatened by our army at any time. Yanyun will gradually return to our dynasty."

It's still his shallow attack tactics, but it's just a more rational enhanced version.

"It's okay to invade Liao territory, you don't have to be so petty. But this idea is not bad. You can write another report."

At the third day of the dynasty meeting, Song Jiu proposed these three strategies.

It has caused controversy among many ministers and some people oppose it, but there have been great victories and great defeats over the years, which has caused many people to reflect, so there are also those who agree.

After a decision was made not to come to arise, Zhao Kuangyi announced the severance of the dynasty.

Zhao Pu suddenly stopped Song Jiu and said, "Yi'an, can you go to Shundian to talk?"

Song Jiu glanced at him coldly.

There were many strange freaks in the Song Dynasty military system. Why did the Song Dynasty be weaker in military terms? Is it because the soldiers were not brave? Look at how many soldiers refused to surrender until they died. Can't they fight? A group of brave generals who can conquer and fight on the front line are emerging one after another. Is it because the weapons are not sharp? That is even more a joke. Although it is because the opponent is too strong, the main reason is these strange military systems.

If the Jiedushi is abolished, the general will rule over the position and reputation of the military generals, and it is good to cancel the real Jiedushi. If there is no Jiedushi in the early Tang Dynasty, wouldn’t it be a good battle? If you should enter, you will be a minister, and if you leave, you will be a general. Anyway, it is a recruiting system and a garrison system. Why do you need this Jiedushi?

But why do we need to rule from it?

It is understandable to suppress the status of generals, so as to prevent them from being dictatorial to usurp the country, but why should they suppress their honor?

This series of plans was proposed by Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu, who was the mastermind and then further developed in the hands of Zhao Kuangyi.

He proposed three items to forcefully correct the disadvantages. He may cancel the so-called formation map so that Zhao Kuangyi could not get out of the stage. However, the slap in the face was still slapping Zhao Pu's face. Most of the ministers who opposed the voice in the court supported Zhao Pu's faction. Therefore, Song Jiu said coldly: "Mr. Zhao, don't make plans for each other. Do not harm the country and your descendants for the sake of yourself!"

If Song Jiu had proposed such a large military system reform a few months ago, he might be worried that Zhao Pu would cause trouble.
Chapter completed!
