Su Zhe is really getting more and more annoying!

However, his brain was still spinning very fast, and a New Year's coin problem was like a basin of cold ice water, poured down from the head of Zhao Ji, the emperor who owned the four seas, and immediately extinguished Zhao Ji's good interest.

And Zhao Ji's stomach was angry and he still managed to sprinkle it on Su Zhe's head! Because the question raised by Su Zhe is very practical, how can Emperor "Genghis" pay New Year's coins to others? Now that you have all over the world, shouldn't you have a lot of New Year's coins? How can you pay tribute? When the time comes, the envoys of all nations will ask, how will the rulers answer?

Can it be said that Emperor "Genghis" needs the protection of Da Liao, so he pays the protection fee? What's the face of saying that? What is the meaning of the coming of all nations?

And to stop paying the New Year's coins...... Zhao Ji's Heavenly Khan didn't work hard by himself, how could he have such courage? As for how Zhao Ji became the Khan of the Heavens, to be honest, he himself didn't know, he was a confused national rich soldier who was strong!

Although it seems that the country is rich and the army is strong, you can also discuss the matter of coming to Japan to invade Liao on the Chongzheng Palace. But Zhao Ji's hereditary timidity has not been cured, how dare he have an immediate showdown with the Khitan on the issue of the New Year's coin?

There must be a major premise for the coming Japan to raise troops to invade Liao, that is, there is a civil strife in Liao. Either they blocked the army to the northwest, or the Jurchens rebelled in the northeast, containing the main force of the Khitans. Then Wu Haogu, a traitor, can be bribed and co-opted, and maybe add some other thick black means to get Yanjing City into his hands......

And now, the divination people in the northwest of Liao are still adding wounds, and there is no possibility of rebellion for the time being. As for the birth of the Jurchens, they were strong and strong, but they were temporarily held back by the Goryeo who had a serious mismatch between ambition and strength.

Because of the missionary activities of the doctoral group, the Military Machinery Department of the capital knows more about the situation of giving birth to a girl. Knowing that the Hushui Wanyan Department has a very strong cavalry, in the case of extreme mobilization, it can pull out 3,500-4,000 elite cavalry capable of undertaking both light and heavy cavalry tasks.

Because of the seizures from the Western Thieves and the Koreans, as well as the trade through the Dongxing Harbor Market (around the Hamxing area of later Joseon), the Jurchens now possessed a lot of armor and leather armor, and could basically equip 3,500-4,000 cavalrymen with armor, some of which could also have armor.

In addition, the cavalry tactics of the Jurchen tribe are the same as those of the new army of the Song army, and they are even more sophisticated. Moreover, their personal martial arts far surpassed those of the knights of the Song army.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these 3,500-4,000 Jurchen cavalry should definitely not be underestimated!

And this is only according to the strength of the Hushui Wanyan family, if the Hushui Wanyan can fully mobilize the Jurchen tribes, it should be able to pull out about 20,000 cavalry.

It doesn't seem like much, but considering that 500 Jurchen cavalry can beat tens of thousands of Goryeo troops, the war potential of Jurchen really doesn't need to be questioned. Therefore, the current court of the Great Song Dynasty has great expectations for the birth of a girl.

However, the Goryeo people, who had been beaten twice by the birth of the Jurchen, refused to give up, and launched the third war of Lazy Dian last winter. Moreover, Yin Qiang, who commanded the army, also used trickery this time to deceive the Jurchens and said that he would release the chiefs of the various departments of Haoladian who had been detained before, and asked the Jurchen envoys to meet them. Wu Yashu believed it and sent hundreds of people from the Lazy Water Wulin Department to the border to meet them, but they were ambushed by Yin Qiang. Then the elite of the Goryeo Beiwuban launched a surprise attack, and the troops crossed the Great Wall in four ways, stormed the Lazydian Jurchens, and successively captured 135 villages, claiming to have beheaded 6,000 (estimated to be boasting, but there were still one or two thousand casualties), and 5,000 Lazydian Jurchens surrendered. Even the Dongxing Port Commercial City Castle set up by the Great Song Hailu City Ship Production Division on the coast of Haoladian was also taken by Yin Qiang.

In this case, the Jurchens naturally didn't care about the trouble of finding the Khitan.

So now the country in Daliao is quite calm, but I am not afraid of fighting with the Great Song Dynasty!

……

"Erlang, what did your eldest brother say? He wouldn't have thought of anything about the New Year's coins, would he? ”

The annoying Su Zhe is gone. In a hall with a fairly good view on the second floor of the Chongzheng Palace, the official Zhao Ji was dining with Wu Haowen, Zhang Shuye, and the new general Cai You.

After a few bites of food, Zhao Ji remembered the "resourceful" Wu Dalang.

"Your Majesty," replied Wu Haowen, who was a little restrained, "my brother did say this, and he advocated stopping the payment of New Year's coins!" ”

It turns out that the suggestion that Wu Haowen just made is what Wu Haogu meant.

"Stop paying New Year's coins?" Zhao Ji frowned, "If the Khitan soldiers come to Hebei, will he, the commander of Xuan, have a way to deal with it?" ”

"My brother said that he could deal with it," Wu Haowen replied, "At present, there are six generals under the Hebei Xuanfu Division, and there are dozens of newly launched warships at sea. ”

Zhao Ji set his sights on Zhang Shuye, the military envoy of the capital. He knew that these days, Uncle Zhang's eyes were wide and he was staring at the Hebei Xuanfu Division!

Zhang Shuye frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the new army of the six generals under the Hebei Xuanfu Division is very large, although the generals are complete, the total number of soldiers is less than 20,000, the weapons are not complete, and the auxiliaries are not equipped at all...... If the Khitan really fights, it would be good to be able to hold the line of the boundary river. The rest of Hebei, I'm afraid that the Hebei Xuanfu Division won't be able to take care of it. ”

Of course, the amount is big!

The four generals and the two generals under the Xuanfu Division did have a lot of quotas, and theoretically the six generals should have 30,000 soldiers alone, but now the number of officers and soldiers together is less than 20,000.

This is because the two generals added by the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Military Machinery Department to the Hebei Xuanfu Division were actually "empty". Only the military quota was given, but there was no increase in military spending, and even the government soldiers were not given more. Instead, the Xuanfu Division was given the power to recruit Hebei knights into the army during the war to enrich the power of the two cavalry generals. However, it is also necessary to ask for permission and obtain permission.

Therefore, the two new cavalry generals, theoretically, are the "shelf troops" used to house the students of the Knight Academy, and they have no combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the ordnance armor that was drawn from the Ordnance Supervision to the Xuanfu Division of Hebei was also voted back by Wu Haogu on the grounds that the quality was too poor. The war horses allocated by the herd superintendent were also rejected by the Xuanfu Division.

For this reason, the Hebei Xuanfu Division also fought a lawsuit with the Ordnance Supervisor and the Herd Supervisor, and it is still in the middle of a dispute until now.

So now the Hebei Xuanfu Division is not only short of soldiers, but also short of weapons and horses.

However, Zhang Shuye still greatly underestimated the strength of Hebei Xuanfu Division!

Due to the purge of the officers of the Knight Academy Department by the Military Machinery Division, the Hebei Xuanfu Division obtained a large number of knight officers, thus giving the Sixth General New Army a gorgeous officer corps.

At the same time, Jiehe Commercial Market itself is a large arsenal. In addition to the large-scale shipbuilding industry, there is also a woodware industry and an iron-smelting industry (although there is no iron ore in the commercial market, cheap charcoal can be obtained, and there is also a demand for high-quality ironware, so the iron-smelting industry in Jiehe Shangshi has also developed rapidly in the past two years), and there is also a repair shop directly under the Xuanfu Division. It is fully capable of mass-producing weapons and armor in a short period of time.

As for war horses and pack horses, there is no shortage of Hebei Xuanfu Division. Wu Haogu has a stallion farm in Jiehe Shang City, and also runs a horse farm on Tamna Island that can produce a large number of war horses and pack horses. In addition, there are more than 3,000 knights' manors on the ground in Cangzhou, which can also produce a large number of good horses every year.

In addition, the Jiehe Merchant City can also provide a certain number of citizen soldiers and mercenaries, and the knight's manor can provide a large number of cavalry - a manor can have more than one cavalry.

Therefore, when necessary, Wu Haogu can quickly replenish the new army posts of 6 generals, not only can he allocate enough soldiers, but also engineers and auxiliaries can be put together, and as long as he can train for a few months, he will be able to cope with the big war.

……

"Cai You, why are you still here?"

Zhao Ji originally wanted to have fun with Wu Haowen and Cai You, but he was in a bad mood by Su Zhe, so he let them leave after lunch. But when he came down from the second floor of the Chongzheng Palace, he saw Cai You standing in the corner.

"Your Majesty," Cai You smiled all over his face, took out a scroll from somewhere, and presented it with both hands, "The minister's father has nothing to do in Jiangning Mansion, and he likes painting, and there is a painting that is quite proud, so he asked the minister to take it to Kaifeng Mansion and want to ask His Majesty to take a look." ”

Cai Jing is famous for his calligraphy, but his paintings are also good, but he can't get into Zhao Ji's eyes.

"Really?" Zhao Ji smiled, "Then I'll take a look." ”

Zhao Ji took the scroll and unfolded it gently, the first thing that caught his eye was the inscription of Cai Jing's handwritten book - the picture of Ai Mozhu!

This picture is not a painting, but a table, divided into seven categories according to the prime minister, the consul, the attendant, the tai, the langguan, the pavilion, the school, etc., each category is divided into two columns, left and right. On the left is the main battle faction of Liao, and on the right is the Liao-phobic faction. The two are contrasting, and the gap is huge. The main battle faction on the left, from top to bottom, has few names. And the Liao-phobic faction on the right is densely filled with names.

In the prime minister's column, all six governors are all classified into the Liao-phobia faction.

"Why are so many people afraid of Liao?" Zhao Ji sighed.

In fact, the Liao-phobic faction on this "Map of Ai Mo Zhu" still lacks a name, and that is Zhao Ji!

Zhao Ji already understood the meaning of Cai Jing's dedication to "The Map of Ai Mo Zhu", and now everyone in the DPRK and China is afraid of war, and they are cowardly before fighting, and if they want to rely on them to go to the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, they will definitely not succeed.

If you want to win the battle against Liao, you must reuse the main battle faction to preside over the government. Only in this way can the imperial court give the greatest support to the army, and the victory over the Liao State will be possible.

"I don't know if Ling Zun's name should be written on the left or right?" Zhao Ji looked at Cai You and asked.

Cai You bowed, "My father is the main battle faction, and he is willing to drive out the rebels for His Majesty and recover Yanyun!" Now there is just no chance to die for His Majesty! ”
