"Do you still have doubts about building the Great Wall?"

At the end of the court meeting, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask again, the Qianyu Hall of the Great Song Dynasty was quiet, everyone looked at the emperor on the throne quietly but firmly, Zhao Zhen felt that he was obviously saying a nonsense.

"My Emperor Shengming!"

With Pang Ji's words, the courtiers bowed down like a tide: "My emperor Shengming!" ”

There are a lot of compliments and it has become a kind of etiquette, anyway, Zhao Zhen thinks so, the benefits of building the Great Wall are too many, and Zhao Zhen has always thought that this is a bad government that costs life and money, and now it seems that this is not the case.

Existence is reasonable, and this sentence explains the reason for the existence of the Great Wall.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, this latest decree began to operate in the government and the opposition, and the whole of Beijing and the entire Great Song Dynasty were talking about the whole thing, and the Great Song Dynasty was going to build the Great Wall, and the news spread to every corner like wings.

Zhao Zhen never thought of keeping it secret, in fact, such a big project could not be hidden from the Liao people, the civil court newspapers were full of news about the construction of the Great Wall, and there were some interpretations of people of insight, and the people were more and more supportive.

Everyone knows that if the Great Song Dynasty wants to build the Great Wall, it is necessary to recruit people, and according to the attitude of the officials, this is a good errand, because as long as it is the labor of the imperial court, there is never a reason to treat the people badly.

The Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty along the boundary of the existing state capital, relying on the terrain construction, east from Yingzhou Yuguan, west to Shazhou Yumen Pass, this is a new project connecting the ancient Great Wall of Qin, Sui and Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty not only to build its own Great Wall, but also to all the Great Wall in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty not only had to bear the role of a border wall, but also an important way to block private merchants and give early warnings and convey news.

Zhao Zhen looked at the familiar map and sighed slightly, history is really such a coincidence, the so-called Yingzhou Yuguan is the Shanhaiguan of the Ming Dynasty, and Yumen Pass is naturally needless to say, Di Qing and other general generals even want to rebuild a dangerous pass between Suzhou and Shazhou, although the name is not thought of, but the location is the same as the Jiayuguan in later generations!

A concave and convex line was used to draw traces of the Great Wall on the map, and a side wall similar to the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty appeared on the map of the Great Song Dynasty, which was a man-made barrier for the Central Plains Dynasty to resist the nomads.

The courtiers are right, there is no Great Wall in the Great Song Dynasty, and some people can stab the Great Song Dynasty from time to time, and then use their fast horses to fly away, but with the Great Wall, they have to weigh it.

It is not easy to cross the Great Wall, the pass on the city wall, the Tibetan Soldier Yongdao is an extremely difficult existence to overcome, not to mention that the beacon tower will soon reveal their location, and more reinforcements will continue to attack like a tide.

Even if they succeeded, what if they crossed the Great Wall?

It is likely that this was the beginning of their downfall, as the Great Wall would not only defend externally, but also internally......

Once the Great Song Dynasty had the Great Wall, the Liao people wanted to wave their troops south as if they were ascending to the sky, and the biggest effect of this continuous defense project was to limit the feet of Huma, as long as the mobility of the cavalry was limited, the Liao people were basically insurmountable.

But the Great Wall is not exclusively for defense, it is also a base for preparing for attacks. Within the Great Wall, you can train troops, store food, and accumulate all military supplies.

If there is no Great Wall to cover in the rear, it would be impossible to carry out several large-scale military operations since the Qin and Han dynasties, especially the famous generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Later, when the Han and Emperor Dou Xian went out of the fortress, he beat the Xiongnu through the battle of Jinwei Mountain, which was an unprecedented success.

It can be said that if there is no Great Wall, it is basically impossible to eliminate the Hu people, but after the Great Wall, the Hu people basically have no advantage, the Central Plains Dynasty is like a warrior with a bunker, who can attack the grassland people at any time, and when the grassland people counterattack, they will retreat back to the bunker again to defend and counterattack.

With the current national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, consumption can also consume the Liao people to death!

Di Qing stood in front of the map of the Qinzheng Palace, stretched out his hand and pointed to the concave and convex lines and said: "Your Majesty, if the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty is completed, before the Northern Expedition, 100,000 iron cavalry can be used to disturb the enemy, 100,000 iron cavalry is divided into 20 commands, four commands are one army, and the 10 armies will attack and harass from different directions to respond to the Northern Expedition." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "It can be used to disturb the enemy, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, just destroy the Liao people's fields, kill the defenders, and set fire to the Ya, which can make the Liao people fearful." ”

"The official Shengming, this is a plan to disturb the enemy, the ten armies each army of 10,000 iron cavalry, scattered attack can make the Liao people defenseless, if the Liao army comes to help, you can retreat to the Great Wall to hold on, with the beacon tower as the number, if the Liao people attack the city, you can turn the zero into a whole, 100,000 troops detour to the side to surround it, annihilate it!"

With Di Qing's talent, he can indeed give full play to the role of the Great Wall, Zhao Zhen has never doubted this, looking at this concave and convex red line, Zhao Zhen seems to see fortresses appear on the side, and at the same time, prosperous cities will appear.

The Great Song Dynasty is like this, especially like to build fortresses in the border areas to prevent sudden wars, and the same likes to open a field in the border area to trade with foreign peoples, which has become a habit of the Great Song Dynasty, and the appearance of the field will also drive the development of the city.

"I heard that you have drawn a picture of the Great Wall yourself, and when you go back, I will hand it to me and take a look, and if it is appropriate, I will use your picture as a guide for supervision."

Zhao Zhen's words made Di Qing excited, he began to draw a map of the city defense as early as after recovering Yanyun, in order to build the Great Wall, and now it can finally come in handy!

"Obey! After the minister returns home, he will make a slight modification and submit it to the official family! ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "Stand down!" Three talents, pass on the three envoys Bao Zheng to see. ”

The Qinzheng Hall is Zhao Zhen's study, even if he stays to perform the work, he is summoned alone, after Di Qing retreated, he nodded slightly to Bao Zheng who was about to enter the main hall, Bao Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Di Qing was telling him that the official family was determined to build the Great Wall.

Bao Zheng looked at the winding red line on the map and sighed in his heart, who would have thought that every section, every millimeter, and every centimeter of this small red line would cost a huge expense!

Obviously, the officials summoned themselves for the treasury's national funds, and the construction of the Great Wall has always been a very expensive thing, and the money used can be described as huge!

As long as Bao Zheng came in, Sancai knew that there would be an unpleasantness between the official family and Bao Zheng, which was already a habitual thing, every time the official family had a plan, it needed a lot of money, and Bao Zheng, the iron rooster, often did not pull out a dime.

"Official, the Great Wall is not built in a day, and the three divisions have already made estimates, at least three years, and at most five years!"

"I have to dispatch two million people, not to mention that the Great Song Dynasty is connected by roads, and it will not take much time to reach the borderland."

"Official, these must be garrisoned by a large army, and the Northern Expedition must be postponed."
