Song Jiu nodded and sighed, "There is really a bad time for the thief Wang and Li to come."

Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun called for the equalization of wealth and poverty, which has certain positive significance.

It cannot be overstated.

What is called meaningful, for example, Qin Shihuang ended the system of princes and began to govern the country by counties, that is meaningful.

Emperor Wu of Han, Chen Tang, shouted, "Everyone who offends our great Han Dynasty will be punished even if it is far away. This nation has a backbone from now on, that is the meaning."

Although Wang Li shouted this slogan, the wheel of history still ran as usual. Apart from killing many greedy local tyrants from Bashu, it did not have a significant impact on history.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, he killed many people, but it is not good, but carefully analyzed that he killed most of the corrupt officials that the people hate the most. Why no one praises him? Because he did not have a positive impact on the historical process, he created the darkest country and the most greedy country. Even Li Zicheng's rebel army was forced to come in front of him. Those local tyrants would rather let Li Zicheng scout his family and exterminate his clan than pay a penny to support the officers and soldiers in battle. Therefore, history only saw the dark back left by Zhu Yuanzhang...

Therefore, Song Jiu did not have a very fair view of the uprising of Wang and Li.

You can revolt, but don’t cause trouble at this critical time.

But this is not the reason why Zhao Kuangyi called him here. Song Jiu thought for a while and asked, "Does Your Majesty turn the focus on internal governance or to the Liao Kingdom?"

“How to say it?”

"The Liao Kingdom suffered severe damage and the north was able to be at peace for several years. And I heard that the Goryeo people heard that the Jurchens were defeated, and they began to use the Liao Kingdom as their national name."

Zhao Kuangyi's face was a little bad.

When Song Jiu proposed to support the Jurchens, Zhao Kuangyi said that Goryeo. At least Goryeo is a country. However, Song Jiu despised the Goryeo people very much and thought it was untrustworthy. At most, it played a little side effect. Zhao Kuangyi did not believe it very much, and secretly funded some materials and weapons. If Goryeo had not been unwilling to send heavy troops to help, Zhao Kuangyi might have sponsored more. Unexpectedly, Goryeo was really a country of villains with wind blowing on both sides.

Song Jiu smiled.

He also looked down on the Bangzi Song Jiu in his previous life, including Jin San. But his ideas were more objective. Without Jin San, the US would have been able to station the army on the banks of the Yalu River.

If you use it, you can’t really do stupid things. You can fund it, but you must master the right measure.

He also said: "Your Majesty is angry, and the people of Liao may not be happy. This time, Goryeo took in many Bohai people who fled to Goryeo while Liao was unable to be distracted. As long as our dynasty does not show the intention of the Northern Expedition, the Liao dynasty will take action against Goryeo to eliminate future troubles and concentrate on fighting against our dynasty. Then how many years will our dynasty have to go to peace."

"But what after that."

"Your Majesty, you're going to rest and rest. Besides, there's the Bashu Rebellion."

Zhao Kuangyi took a few steps in a frivolous manner and said, "What do you mean by saying that it is just a bias?"

"To be inward, it is to use the strategy of driving the tigers by me. The Liao Kingdom was severely damaged. Our dynasty can implement this strategy with confidence and boldness. Take advantage of the situation and eliminate some of the tyrants in Kuixia by traitors. Then the place under the jurisdiction of Your Majesty will shine with the sunshine. All people can enjoy the glory of Your Majesty. If you go north, you will immediately extinguish the two thieves, quickly stabilize Bashu, and not cause trouble in Kuixia. Just like Taizu, leave this problem and solve it later. Then quickly rest and go north again."

The national strength is so great that you can only choose one of two.

Zhao Kuangyi hesitated for a long time and said, "It depends on the situation."

Kuixia may not be important, but Zhao Kuangyi still has a dream in his mind. It doesn’t count if the Song Dynasty unified China. Jiaozhi has not been taken back. Ganlianglan and Hehuang have not been taken back, and there is also Dali... If you want to get Dali, Kuixia is the key. If it is the case in Kuixia, don’t talk about Dali. That talk is useless. On the contrary, as my elder brother said, it is at the cost of hurting the people of the Central Plains, and there are many border troubles.

But Yanyun is more important.

Especially now, the situation is a bit strange. The Tang Dynasty was backward at the end of the year and its control over the northwest was weak, but Yan Yun was always in control. Now Yan Yun is in the hands of the enemy, but the control over the northwest is gradually strengthening. The Song Dynasty has begun to have some influence on the Beihetao. This makes Zhao Kuangyi laugh and cry. The capital of the Song Dynasty is not in Chang'an, Shaanxi, but in Kaifeng, Henan!

...

Shi Pu arrived in Hedong.

At this time, Shi Pu's military capabilities had surpassed Shi Pu in history.

In general, unless a genius general like Huo Qubing is fought, ordinary generals are attacked, just like Li Ji, the more wars are fought, the higher the military talent is.

Liaodong training is particularly critical.

The summer tax comes slowly.

The economic situation of the Song Dynasty really improved.

If there were no wars in the north again and again, many disasters and harms, coupled with the great uprising of Bashu, and the self-harm caused by the wind blowing last year, the summer tax and other incomes would be able to overcome the difficulties immediately.

Due to this situation, Pan Mei mobilized and more than a dozen yamen joined forces to donate fifty ships that were about to return to the port to the court in the name of rescuing the people of Bashu.

The person behind the scenes is Song Jiu.

The general environment is also related to Song Jiu. Song Jiu initially proposed that Zhao Kuangyi first accepted it to encourage the big families to do good deeds. Over the years, he has received some good households and given some idle officials. The academy also encouraged the big families to do good deeds. But the main reason is that some of the yamen are old or dead, just like Pan Mei is seriously ill again this year and is lucky to have good health. It is better to donate it to the big monks when the court needs money and buy a good deed. Song Jiu planned that Pan Mei was fine, so he went around the capital. This trend is still meaningful, so he made this donation.

The cargo of fifty sea ships is valuable, especially the four families of Gao Shi and Song Pan. Almost all of them are filled with precious spices, corals, and tortoiseshell.

It can play a little role, such as...Beiwei Army.

The Liao Kingdom was greatly damaged, and Song Jiu quickly made a decision in the Privy Council.

If there was no accident, it seemed that the Queen Mother Yan Yan still had some life. Once it recovered, the two countries would inevitably have a fierce battle. Either the Song Dynasty fought against the Liao Kingdom or the Liao Kingdom fought against the Song Dynasty. It would be aborted unless one side defeated the other side and surrendered.

Now we have to prepare for the future.

The future Emperor Zhenzong of Song may not have to worry about internal governance. But Song Jiu was a little worried about the foreign war, but in fact, Song Jiu was really wrong...

Now that I have a good foundation, I may be able to change the idea of ​​the Emperor Zhenzong.

Although Zhao Kuangyi's suspicion made Song Jiu a little unhappy, after thinking about it this way, Song Jiu was eager for Zhao Kuangyi to live for a few more years.

So there was the Beiwei Army.

It is a high mountain.

There is a powerful Beiwei Army in another time and space. Beiwei is only ten thousand, but it is invincible even if it is ten thousand. Even the Jurchens can only look at their backs...

That is the most powerful military branch in Yue Fei's hands.

Carrying mountains means carrying heavy missions.

After Song Jiu said this name, Zhao Kuangyi applauded.

...

Jing Si is here, Yang Yanzhao is here, Zhang Ning is here, and Yang Qiong himself.

Ten thousand Beiwei Army were divided into four commanders, including the front army, left and right army, and the central army, and the four men served as the heads of the fourth army respectively.

There were two thousand soldiers in front and left and right, five battalions of light cavalry, and one battalion of foreign cavalry. The central army had six battalions of light cavalry, one thousand battalions of heavy cavalry, and six hundred Han cavalry.

Even the light cavalry is the most powerful warrior among the tens of thousands of light cavalrymen.

Now we are focusing on the Northwest practice together, and we will break up in the future and put it in three war zones. But it will not break up now, and it is mainly used to practice cooperation. There are even a large number of soldiers and infantry in the northwest and Hedong to practice cooperating with them.

It's training for the time being.

Maybe he will be transferred to Bashu in the future.

This elite cavalry will be very rewarded, and will receive a monthly salary of 500 cents more than ordinary soldiers every month. Not only that, the court will spend a lot of money to provide a large amount of mutton and pork. Because the northwest began to breed in large quantities, the meat price is cheaper than that of the Central Plains. It is best to be beef. However, the Song Dynasty still lacks farmed beef, so beef is unrealistic.

Then every soldier was ordered to eat more than half a pound of meat every day.

You should eat it even if you vomit.

Song Jiu participated in the war on the front line and noticed a phenomenon many times. The Song army was strict in discipline, which was to defeat the Liao army with this formation. However, the real individual combat power may not be as good as the Liao army. For no reason, one of them grew up eating meat, although these Liao soldiers were often half hungry and had to eat food to supplement them.

There is another comparison.

That is the Jurchen warriors and later the Yuan and Mongolian army.

Why was the Liao army weaker than them, and even worse than the Xixia army in the future? Food problems were also one of the main reasons. With Yanyun and Liaonan, the Liao Kingdom could feed more people, and the soldiers' food gradually changed from meat to food. However, although the Jurchens were half full, they mainly used meat. Even pork, before going to Liaodong, even Song Jiu did not know that the Jurchens' pig farming industry was so developed. Not to mention Yuan Meng, how could they grow crops?

Military discipline, general command ability, national strength and policies, people's will, morale, equipment, logistics, and the physical fitness of this soldier are the main factors that determine the war.

The food is good and the treatment is high, but this army will shoulder the important task of the Song Dynasty's future and the killer on the battlefield. Therefore, the training intensity is very strong.

Jing Si hurried to the northwest, practiced and wrote to the court. This was not enough to practice. If he practiced blindly, it would be better to bring this Beiwei Army to Bashu and practice on the battlefield.

Zhao Kuangyi laughed when he saw the memorial.

Zhao Kuangyi was very proud of having such a brave general under his command. His mood was no less than that of Li Shimin's performance in Goryeo.

But Song Jiu valued Li Jilong and Shi Pu more, and his command ability.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "No need."

At first, Li Shun captured Chengdu, and the prefects of the states were in a hurry. Only Zhang Yong, the governor of Zizhou, was prepared. He immediately trained the soldiers in the city and recruited more than 4,000 strong men. He transported Mianzhou gold and silk to make treasurys, sold bronze bells as arrows, cut wood as rods, sewed cloth as ropes, and prepared all guards. He sent officials to invite troops to the court. The inspector of Xichuan Capital Lu Bin provided ten states with crowds to support Chengdu. However, Chengdu had fallen and the enemy was in great force, so he had to retreat to Zizhou.

Somewhat performance was bad.

But who can come to the stage in Bashu?

Lu Bin's performance was pretty good. After all, he had fought with the Liao Kingdom many times and wiped out the two giant thieves in Guanzhong. So Zhang Yong immediately gave it a favor.

Lu Bin was an expert. When he arrived in Zizhou, he saw that Zicheng was destroyed by the river first, and immediately led the people to dig trenches, which were more than meter deep, and to serve as a moat to guard the city.

The moat in front was dug, and Li Shun sent general Xianggui to lead 200,000 troops to attack. Lu Bin led his subordinates out of the city to fight. He was not defeated, but there were too many enemies and he did not repel them, so he retreated to the city.

Xianggui ordered his subordinates to attack the city at night with a large staircase. Zhang Yong ordered the soldiers in the city to smash the city's trenchers with huge rocks to hit the large staircase. Most of the staircases were smashed and rockets were fired. Xianggui then used wood from the mountain to make siege equipment in the northwest of the city. Zhang Yong deliberately opened the east gate and sent five hundred squadrons to rush to the east gate. Xianggui was watching from a high place on Niutou Mountain outside the city, thinking that Zhang Yong would leave the city to attack, so he transferred his troops to the foot of the mountain to wait. Zhang Yong took the opportunity to send 100 daring soldiers to put down the rope and rushed to the northwest. A fire burned all the siege equipment in the air.

Xianggui also used the north wind to set fire to the north gate. Zhang Yong and Lu Kai led their troops to the gate, stood between arrows and stones, and stood firm. The leader was not afraid of death, and his subordinates were not afraid of death. They repelled Xianggui's attack again and again. Especially the Jiedushi Chen Shiqing, who had good archery skills, shot hundreds of people when he was on the side of the city.

However, Xiang Gui has too many subordinates.

The officials in the city all agreed to abandon the city and break through the encirclement and withdraw. Chen Shiqing said seriously: "If you eat the king's fortune, you should commit yourself to serving the country, but you will want to take refuge for it."

These officials cannot make a sound.

But Chen Shiqing said to Zhang Yong with his back: "These are all cowards, and they are enough to confuse the public and affect morale. There is only one way to protect the city and send people to break through and seek reinforcements."

But when the final reward was given, everyone carried the flower sedan chairs. Zhang Yong was the minister of the court, and he was still in charge of Zizhou. The inspector of the capital, Lu Bin, the inner palace, was the envoy of the workshop in Xijing and the governor of Chengzhou. The general magistrate, Zhao He, was the chief secretary of the prince, was the chief clerk, and the military supervisor, was the chief clerk of the inner palace, and was the chief clerk of the inner palace, Shi Wei, the chief clerk of the Jiedushi, the chief clerk of the Jiedushi, Chen Shiqing, the chief clerk of the Yanyuan Court, and Xie Tao, the chief clerk of the Yanyuan Court, was the chief clerk of the observation and promotion...

Their contribution was not only to defend Zizhou, but mainly to restrain most of Li Shun's subordinates. This effect was extraordinary and laid a good foundation for Wang Quanbin to enter Shu.

Wang Quanbin first broke Yankou Village and crossed Qingqiangling. Li Shun had few troops in Jianzhou and could not fight, so Jianzhou was first pacified.

He fought with Li Shun at Liuchiyi and was defeated, so he took the opportunity to recover Mianzhou. Another Cao Xi divided his troops into Jiameng to attack Laoxi, defeated thousands of Yi soldiers, and recovered Langzhou.

The Eastern Army defeated three thousand Yi soldiers in Guang'an Army, so they took advantage of the situation and took back Bazhou.

At this time, Li Shun made a serious mistake and dispersed his troops everywhere. Especially Xiang Gui's 200,000 righteous soldiers were trapped in Zizhou and were not transferred back in time. When he heard that Wang Ji'en arrived, he gathered the remaining 100,000 righteous soldiers in Chengdu. The two armies fought and were immediately defeated by the officers and soldiers, attacked Chengdu City, and captured Li Shun alive.

When Wang Jien received a request for help from Zhang Yong, he immediately asked Shi Zhirong to send thousands of soldiers to rescue him. Lu Bin took the opportunity to fight out of the city, cooperated with the inside and outside, Xianggui was defeated, tens of thousands of people surrendered, and the rest fled. Lu Bin then advanced eastward, and a rebel army surrounded Langzhou and was defeated by Lu Bin. After Langzhou was siege and lifted, Lu Bin killed to the southeast again, defeated another rebel army, and Pengzhou was pacified.

There is also, but the remaining rebels are not worth worrying about.

So Zhao Kuangyi said that there is no need to bother these newly-organized powerful cavalry.

Song Jiu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

Lu Mengzheng asked strangely: "Duke Song, why?"
