Kaifeng.

"The emperor joined forces with the 500,000 troops of Jianghuai, and wanted to raise an investigation into the Kaifeng army!"

Wang Yue's expression in the Chuigong Hall was exaggerated and alarmist...

150,000 has become 500,000 again. I have to say that he is also doing his best to exaggerate!

"It took only two months for the Emperor Shang to arrive in Zhenjiang. How did he transform a 500,000 army? And the war in Zhejiang has only been quelled for only two years. Where did so many young and strong soldiers come from?"

Uncle Zhang said angrily.

He doesn't know nothing.

This is simply impossible. If the Supreme Emperor had such efficiency, the Song Dynasty would not have been today!

"The two routes in Jiangnan and east and west are three million, and the two routes in Huainan are no less than that. Ten households and one post can produce more than 500,000 troops. What's more, the Emperor now lives south of Changhuai. If the generals or generals in various places are combined, they will have hundreds of thousands. In addition, the wing army and the village soldiers are all in charge. As long as they are willing to spend money, what's the difficulty of 500,000 troops?

Besides, this is just a claim, or it is either true or half a million.

But it is known as a large army of 500,000, and there must be 150,000. There are boats and oars south of Changhuai, and there is no need for war horses.

How much can an infantryman cost?”

Wang Yue said.

"What the King of Zhongshan said is very much. Since the Supreme Emperor has established a new court, he naturally cannot treat it as usual. Even if it is just Huainan and Jiangnan, the four routes of the four routes are enough to raise 500,000 troops. At that time, Li Yu could only raise more than 100,000 troops to resist the royal army in just two routes. What's more, Li Yu is several times more than Li Yu now. It is indeed unlikely that 500,000 troops will be recruited in a hurry, but 150,000 troops are not difficult. What's more, before the Emperor goes south, the total of the things that can be used in his hands is almost 50,000.

Two months are enough to mobilize the southeastern troops to Yanhuai, and these are already close to 100,000.

A fifty thousand is not a bluff!"

Liu Xi said.

He is now a clerk in the Privy Council.

As for Liu Wei, he was appointed as the young master, his military power was removed because he was from the southerner. Zhao Huan is now very worried about the southern officials in the court. Although he would not drive them away, he did not dare to put them in a position where he truly held military power. Places like the Privy Council must be used with peace of mind, and he truly trusted the brothers Liu Xi and Liu Qi. Liu Qi was still the Imperial City Division, which is equivalent to Gao Qiu for the great painter. As for the Imperial City Division, the Imperial City Division, which is already in name only. If the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo are gone, what is the Imperial City Division? It is Liu Qi, who is responsible for the Imperial City Division and the inner city defense.

However, Zhao Huan completely got rid of a cancer that plagued the Song Dynasty for such a year...

There is no need to support the so-called 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo.

Now the inner city is a total of 30,000 imperial guards, including the Western Army, and they are directly under the command of the Imperial City Department. There are six commands below, just like the field army.

One of the four walls.

Then add two horse army.

Originally, I didn’t know much on the books, but I didn’t know much. I completely became the so-called 800,000 imperial guards led by generals at all levels who were empty-handed by Gao Qiu. At present, there are only a bunch of signs left, and even an empty shell is not even considered an empty shell...

Hunkezi means that there must be generals at all levels.

But now there is not even a general.

Those generals were either Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, or those rich and nobles who made a living. This time, some of them fled from the capital, and the rest were not escaped. He also used the excuse of Cao Yan's rebellion. All the former imperial guards in the capital were reorganized, and Liu Qi was responsible for selecting them. Those who could be left in the imperial guards in the Imperial City, and those who were purely waste were waiting for disposal at home...

Anyway, they are not short of money.

At least I will definitely not be unable to eat because of this.

All of them are at the level of the Imperial Army Generals, and they all have houses and fields around the capital, so they don’t need to care about this at all.

The soldiers and low-level officers were thrown to Liu Qi for reorganization. There were not many imperial guards in the capital. Except for the previous rebellion in the outer city that had already left the imperial guards and joined the Kaifeng Commune, the real ones in the inner city were more than 20,000 people, all of which were reorganized by Liu Qi. As for the slaughter of the mansion, Hebei, and Jingdong, the west of Jingdong, they were also reorganized. Among them, the direct exchange of teachers, Kaifeng and the surrounding areas of Hebei were handed over to his uncle Wang Zongyi. In short, it was to investigate the number of people to eliminate the old and weak.

Zhao Huan was really unable to bear the imperial guards.

Even if the imperial guards are slightly able to fight, even if they are not like Wang Yue's subordinates, as long as they can reach the ordinary level of the Western Army, they will not have fallen to this level now!

In theory, he had a million troops, the imperial guards, including the imperial guards in the palace, Hebei, and the northwest. Not to mention one million, there were seven or eight hundred thousand. Even if there were seven or eight hundred thousand on the books, the fact was that he had no choice but to do anything to the troubled people in the outer city. Wang Yue went south with 20,000 cavalry, and he had to surrender. When he thought of it, he had the urge to be angry and cursed.

In fact, at this time, not only the imperial guards, but also the imperial court were losing weight quickly.

This is also very simple. First, a large number of officials fled. Whether they were escaping home or looking for a great painter, Zhao Huan didn't have to worry about them anymore. He reappointed a confidant for the indispensable position. Especially for the virtual positions that could be completely cancelled, he simply stopped appointing them. Even those who did not escape, those completely useless officials began to find excuses to dismiss office, or simply not pay their wages...

If you can't stand it, you can leave!

Anyway, this is not Zhao Huan's responsibility. His father occupied the canal transportation, and he only had taxes in Jingdong, west and Jingjin. Hebei, Hedong and Shaanxi had to supply the army, and he had to supply the part here, so he had no money to keep idle people!

If you are dissatisfied, you will go to the Supreme Emperor, and the money and food are there!

He is now so poor that he has to use patches when his clothes are torn, and even the beauties in Gen Yue's harem have been dismissed!

Even his father's strange stones began to sell them at a low price, and he sold them all rare birds and beasts.

real.

Now Huayang Palace is a grocery market, and every day merchants are invited by eunuchs. What do you like, whether it is the strange stones, rare birds and beasts, strange flowers and plants, even works and collections that his father did not take away, and various antique utensils. In short, if you like it, you can take it away with money. Even the map of Shanghe in Qingming Festival was bought by the King of Zhongshan, but it was just a discount for the debt.

Anyway, Zhao Huan was not interested in these things at all.

Now he is interested in money.

Because money can win over the army for him, while he could not pay the official employees' salaries, he had a lot of military salaries for the troops in Hebei, Shaanxi, and Hedong, even more timely than his father gave. He knew very well at this time that the imperial court could not protect him. No matter whether his father fought back or Wang Yue wanted to usurp the throne, the Gugu would not give him any protection. But on the contrary, those army leaders were fine, Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu, and Zhe Ke begged these people, and their troops could at least make Wang Yue think twice before usurpation.

So now Zhao Huan is trying his best to win over these military leaders.

Taking Liu Qi's brothers as their confidants, Liu Xi was asked to preside over the Privy Council, and then gave the military power in Hebei to Zhong Shidao, the military power in Hedong to Zhe Keqiu, and the military power in Shaanxi to Yao Gu. They were both Xuanfu envoys, with the title of Privy Council, and in fact they controlled the real control of the armies in the three places.

The civil servants can no longer control them.

Although it cannot be said to be a warlord, after all, civil servants have the logistics and local administrative power, but they have no right to interfere in the military.

As for their dissatisfaction...

Dissatisfied!

What can they do?

Zhang Xiaochun was very dissatisfied with Zhe Keqiu and kept submitting memorials to Zhe Keqiu, but still failed to stop Zhe Keqiu from kicking his son Zhang Hao out of the army.

His son was one of the two Song troops who had been sitting in the battle in history to watch Zhong Shi died.

"Even if there are really 150,000, and the King of Zhongshan is invincible, are you still afraid of these mobs?"

Liu Wei said contemptuously.

"Mr. Liu, my cavalry are all from Liaodong. I have died of illness before crossing the Huaihe River. I will not die in Jiangnan. So I have to wait for winter, let alone Huaihe. My cavalry is in Tianchang, Zhenzhou and other places are hard to move forward. It will be easy to freeze in winter."

Wang Yue said.

"So what if the Jurchens are heading south in a big way in the winter?"

Uncle Zhang said.

"It's okay, there are generals from the north to resist. If you fight against foreign countries, you must first settle the internal situation. The Jurchens can slow down, but the emperor must solve it!"

Wang Yue said.

"What should I do if the court's money and food?"

Liu Wei said.

"This is exactly what I want to say. Everyone, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. At present, the imperial court is indeed in a difficult situation. The money and grain transported by the canal cannot be reached for the time being, and the battlefields require money and grain, so they have to try their best to find a way to solve the problem themselves. It is not that there is no food in the north, just like Hebei. If there is no food, how did the three towns in Heshuo fight against the imperial court for two hundred years?

Could it be that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty returned the grain transportation to Tian Chengsi?

Even if the northwest is known as a barren land, there is no shortage of food. If the northwest is short of food, how can the Western Xia establish a country?

In fact, it is possible to squeeze food, but the key is to see how it is. Therefore, my suggestion is to delegate power to the generals of various places and let them find ways to raise money and grain by themselves. Just like I led my army south, have I ever asked the imperial court for the usual military ration of military salaries of one stone?

Am I not lacking?”

Wang Yue said.

Uncle Zhang took a deep breath...

"What do you want to say? Let Zhong Shidao torture the gentry like you, and let Zhe Keqiu tie down the local officials to come to grab those gentry like you?"

He said unbearably.

"My husband said this is wrong. What does it mean to rob? I just give them a chance to express their loyalty to the government, and also give them a chance to serve the country. In the face of a country, we need to have a belief that the land is in the north and south, and people are in the old and young. We should all be responsible for quelling the rebellion and defending the territory and resisting the war. This Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty of all the people of the Song Dynasty, and it is not the official's own. Whether it is invasion of foreign enemies or internal rebellion, it is also the business of all the people of the Song Dynasty, not the official's own affairs.

We generals and soldiers were fighting hard in front. Is there anything wrong with them paying some money and food in the back?

They just lost something outside of them, and we lost life!"
