Regarding Zhao Kai's words, the ministers seemed to be very reasonable, and they nodded frequently when they heard it, but the question came again, can they hold it with the forbidden army in the capital?
Today's forbidden army is not the forbidden army in the heyday of the Song Dynasty, a total of more than 100,000, but these hundreds of thousands of water is big, and those who can really resist a little in front of the Jin army are the 30,000 or 40,000 upper and fourth armies, and the rest are relative to the Jin army, that is, the peasant army.
Hanlin Chengzhi Wu Kai asked: "But the Daimyo's Mansion and the Yellow River are the only two lines of defense that our Kaifeng Mansion can rely on, once these two lines of defense are lost, then Kaifeng Mansion has no danger to defend, and this battle will be even more difficult to fight." ”
Zhang Bangchang said again: "And the strength of Kaifeng Mansion is not enough to guard the Beijing Division, in my opinion, we should still send the Western Army here." ”
In the hearts of the Song people, when it comes to fighting, it is the Western Army before and after the Western Army, obviously, they also understand what kind of urine this forbidden army is, so that the Western Army has been exhausted over the years, and today's Western Army is already much worse than before.
Li Qi couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Zhang Zhongshu, the Western Army doesn't have wings, it can fly over, even if they come to the rescue, it will take a few days, we still have to rely on ourselves." ”
"How can this be kept?"
If you don't give up the Yellow River, then you must go to rescue the Daimyo, because the Daimyo's Mansion is a support point for the Yellow River defense line, once the Daimyo's Mansion is broken, then the Yellow River is difficult to hold, but if you save the Daimyo's Mansion, the success is too low, in case you don't save it, you may have to put Kaifeng in.
What a dilemma!
In fact, this is still the sin of Song Huizong, who was originally built by Tong Guan, Cai You and others, in order to reduce military spending. For Song Huizong to play, they really dug their own graves, and reduced the defense of the entire north by nearly seventy percent, which is not the same as nothing, in addition, among the only three percent left, the imperial relatives of the Daimyo Mansion have taken at least two percent, not to mention guarding, they can't be saved.
Zhao Kai sighed and said, "The Daimyo's Mansion will definitely not be saved." But this does not mean that Kaifeng Mansion will not be able to hold it, in fact, we still have a great chance to defend it, because we still have a magic weapon in our hands. ”
Everyone was in high spirits when they heard this, and Jiang Daoyan hurriedly asked, "I don't know what magic weapon His Highness has?" ”
Zhao Kai's hand suddenly pointed to the side.
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to see that there were no imaginary heavenly soldiers and generals, only a pair of big eyes that looked particularly bright in the dark night.
Disappointed!
What a disappointment!
Zhang Bangchang was stunned and said: "This - the magic weapon that His Highness said is - these refugees!" ”
Zhao Kai glanced at him unhappily and said, "Zhang Zhongshu, you are also from a Jinshi, why did you say it." I don't have the demeanor of a Jinshi at all, what kind of refugees, I'm talking about the millions of people in our Kaifeng Prefecture. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and walked around the table and said, "Not bad." It is true that the strength of our capital is somewhat insufficient, but we still have millions of people as our backing, as long as we are united. Fighting the enemy together, the Jin army has nothing to worry about at all. ”
You're talking lightly, counting on these people. Then I might as well pray to God and worship Buddha.
Most ministers disagreed.
Of course, there are also a few ministers who feel that what Zhao Kai said is very reasonable.
Li Qi was naturally one of them, and said: "Your Highness is right, as long as we have the determination to fight to the death with the Jin army, then this war will definitely be fought to the point of bayonets, and even if it is fifty for one, the victory will belong to us." ”
When the ministers heard this, they felt that there was some reason, and it was a good idea to let these people go to the front.
These people are used to pitting the people, and in their eyes, the people are cannon fodder.
Zhao Kai didn't understand the little Jiujiu in their hearts, and said with a smile: "In this way, everyone agrees with my construction." ”
"We are willing to advance and retreat with His Highness."
The ministers said in unison, because this is the only way.
"Good."
Zhao Kai suddenly asked: "Economic envoy, you are a chef, what is the most cherished thing for chefs?" ”
It's inexplicable. The ministers were all stunned.
Li Qi was also stunned, but he knew that Zhao Kai must have ulterior motives, and said truthfully: "Naturally, it's a kitchen knife!" ”
Zhao Kai said: "Why? ”
Li Qi felt that this question was a bit idiotic, and replied with a little depression: "Your Highness is really good to ask this question, because the chef relies on this to eat." ”
Zhao Kai also pretended to be suddenly enlightened, nodded and said, "I see." The kitchen knife is the cook who eats, so the chef will definitely cherish his own kitchen knife, and the hoe is the farmer's eater, so the farmer will also cherish his hoe, and the military commander will cherish his weapon, the literati will cherish his pen and ink, and the courtesan will cherish his own musical instrument, the reason is as the economic envoy said, because they have to rely on this to eat. Then let me ask you, if Kaifeng City is broken by the Jin army, what will happen to you? ”
Wu Kai said depressedly: "Naturally, I became a prisoner. ”
"You may even lose your life because of it." Zhao Kai added and continued: "We have reached a consensus before, that is, we must rely on the millions of soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng Mansion to hold Kaifeng Mansion, if we don't hold it, we may even lose our lives, then, the military and civilians are the weapons in our hands, just like the kitchen knives in the hands of chefs, and the books in the hands of literati are a truth, and they are also directly related to our lives, so should we cherish them more?" ”
He said the last, his tone was impassioned, and his eyes seemed to shoot a fine light, quite a king's momentum.
Li Qi now completely understands Zhao Kai's intentions, and secretly screams hello, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, it seems that this guy has not only changed a lot, but also seems to have something more on his body.
The ministers nodded one after another, and hurriedly said a lot of words about loving the king and the people.
Unconsciously and unconsciously, Zhao Kai had already come to the end of the seat and said: "But this can't just be just words, now in the capital, there are more than 100,000 people who are homeless, and even the most basic food and clothing can't be solved." Therefore, if we want to win this battle, we must first overcome this difficult problem and ensure the food and clothing of the people. ”
After a pause, he continued: "As the regent, I should lead by example in everything, otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the people. To tell you nothing, last night, this king has obtained the permission of the queen mother, all the food in the imperial dining room, all taken out, distributed to these people, I believe you have also seen it, not only that, this king also used in the palace of the best rice and military rations in exchange for two. If you don't believe me, you can go to the palace and have a look, I can assure you that it will never be richer than yours. ”
The ministers were amazed to hear this, and in the same day, the regent had emptied the palace, and what kind of courage did it take to do such a foolish thing. But at the same time, they also understood Zhao Kai's intention, that is, to let them follow suit and take out the food they had stored and even the house.
They are all human spirits, how can they do this kind of bloody thing, everyone fell into silence.
Zhao Kai looked at it in his eyes and said: "But after all, there are still many people in the palace to raise, and I can't take out all of them, and this king alone is powerless, so I hope you can give me enough support." ”
Having said that, they can't avoid it if they want to.
Wu Kai sneered: "Your Highness, of course we support you, but the ability of the lower officials is limited, please don't dislike it." ”
The ministers cried poverty one after another, but they didn't dare to say that they didn't help, they just said that their ability was limited, and there was only so much they could take out.
Zhao Kai spent a day's effort, if he only got so much, then he would simply hit his head to death, he smiled, and said: "You are too modest, what is your strength, this king knows a little bit about it, at least it is much stronger than this king, oh, this is thanks to the banana daily newspaper some time ago, it is clearly written, as for other people, I also have a more detailed information in my hand." Someone will send the information to all of you. ”
Immediately, a few subordinates came, holding thick materials, and gave a copy to all the adults present.
He obviously learned from Li Qi in this trick and spoke with facts.
Zhao Kai said with a smile: "I don't want to embarrass you, I took out a few percent from the palace, and you will take out a few percent according to your own strength, which is fair and reasonable." It is already clearly written above. ”
Those ministers looked at it, hey, this is okay, I have worked hard all my life, you have to take it all when you open your mouth, isn't this forcing me to die?
Zhao Kai seemed to be still challenging their limits, and continued: "In addition, Ouchi is a forbidden place after all, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, otherwise, I will let these people live in the palace, so it depends on your help, I have prepared a residence for you in the palace, you can move into the palace to live, I will look for you in the future, and I will not delay the effort, as for your house, let the people live, I assure you, this is only temporary, as long as the Jin army retreats, the house still belongs to you." ”
Huang Xinren was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, and said: "Your Highness, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, so much money and food, where can you let me find it for you." ”
Zhang Bangchang also said: "Yes! There's a lot of money, and we can't get it out at all! ”
The ministers were unanimously opposed and strongly disagreed.
Zhao Kai walked to the middle of the three giants of the three divisions, leaned over slightly, propped his hands on the long table, and said with a slight smile: "My father is sick, although he entrusts me with state affairs, but he only gives me one task, that is, I must keep Kaifeng, not your lives, so I will stick to Kaifeng at any cost, so as not to live up to my father's trust in me, what to do is beneficial to the guards Kaifeng, I will do what I do, no matter what I do, if someone obstructs it, or does not cooperate with me, Then I will take some extraordinary measures, perhaps Wang Hao's original method of collecting grain can be worth learning from.
