Although Old Man Murong only mentioned one strategy, it was the one that came to the door!

The eight strategies before Wu Haogu could create an opportunity for a surprise attack, and they could completely take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Liao people to blitz Yanjing.

And although Yanjing is a strong city, it is not without a way for Wu Haogu.

First of all, he has now painted half of Yanjing City, and as long as it takes a few more years, he can completely paint Yanjing City. Then copy a Yanjing city according to the ratio of 1:1, and let the siege assault troops repeatedly train in the copied Yanjing City......

Secondly, Wu Haogu can also use Lighthouse City to infiltrate the Yanyun Wealthy Family, bribe the generals of the guards in Yanjing City, and let them defect in front of the battle. Through contact with Brother Zhong (he was originally an officer of the Han Army of Liao), Wu Haogu already knew that it was completely reliable to buy the generals of the Han Army of Liao, because those generals of the Han Army were basically the sons of the Yanyun clan, and they were all "poor officials".

"Good! That's great! Wu Haogu slapped happily, "This is "Pingyan Nine Strategies"! With these nine strategies, Yanyun will recover, Da Liao will die, and Mr. and I will be able to make immortal contributions! ”

Not only can he make meritorious contributions, but it seems that he can also avoid the shame of Jingkang.

If the Song army adopted lightning raid tactics and captured Yanjing City in one fell swoop before the Liao army reacted, the Yanyun wealthy family would definitely be shocked and all of them would fall to the Great Song Dynasty. With these Yanyun Land Head Snakes, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to fight fortress battles on the Yanshan Mountain Range.

There will also be Ma Zhi's Suzhou Anfu army inserted in Liaodong...... There is a strong wall in front and a sharp edge in the back, and in such a situation, the Jurchens will probably not dare to start a war, and settle for 500,000 coins, or it will not be long before they will be as useless as the Khitans.

But unlike the elated Wu Haogu, Old Man Murong's brows were twisted, and they tightened more and more.

"How?" Wu Haogu also noticed Murong's worried expression, "Mr. Murong, you are ......"

"Da Lang," Old Man Murong suddenly looked at Wu Haogu with an unusually solemn look, "Do you really think that a lighthouse city can be of such great use?" ”

"Of course," said Wuhao Ancient Road, "this is not an ordinary city town, but a ......."

A what?

Wu Haogu suddenly realized that something was not quite right, the prototype of this lighthouse city seemed to be the most noble Venetian Republic in history that set off countless storms in the Mediterranean!

Although Lighthouse City cannot be called a "republic", it is similar in nature. It is not a traditional Song city dominated by a feudal bureaucracy, but an autonomous, oh, should be a free city dominated by such an evil big bourgeoisie as Wu Haogu!

If Beacon City can really play a decisive role in the Northern Expedition to Daliao, then it means that Wu Haogu's management of Beacon City is very successful. Lighthouse City can attract countless funds, talents, and labor, can raise a large amount of grain, grass and baggage in a short time, can have tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of slaves, and may have more citizens, and will have a strong sea force at your disposal. Most of them will also have their own pillar industries...... In fact, Wu Haogu has already figured out a few industries that can make a lot of money, and now he is just taking them to Lighthouse City for development.

Moreover, due to its special geographical location and flexible policies, Lighthouse City will develop into the core and leader of the maritime trade circle in Northeast Asia. It is not far from the status of the Republic of Venice in history.

Such a city, such a free and powerful city, is it a beacon of feudalism in the Great Song Dynasty, or a ghost of capitalism in the Great Song Dynasty?

Of course, Wu Haogu's current idea is likely to be just a dream, but if he succeeds and Lighthouse City succeeds, will this city become another big trouble for the Great Song Empire?

The efficiency of the capitalist free city must have far exceeded that of the Great Song Dynasty under the rule of the feudal bureaucracy.

In fact, the efficiency of the Great Song Dynasty was very low, the Song Dynasty was plagued by external troubles for three hundred years, and there was no peace from the founding of the country to the death of the country, but when did the imperial court train soldiers?

Obviously, you can deal with Da Liao through training, but Da Song chose to toss the Yellow River back and forth!

If the matter of military training was abandoned because he was afraid that someone would practice the stunt of adding a yellow robe, what about Ma Zheng in the Song Dynasty? What about weapons? Isn't it the same that can't be done?

What will happen if such efficiency meets capitalism, which is known for its efficiency?

In addition, under the influence of Lighthouse City, will the Great Song Dynasty begin to evolve to the primary stage of capitalism dominated by capital?

Capitalism! O Flood Beast! Now the people of the Great Song Dynasty are in dire straits......

But if not, is there any other way to redeem Jingkang's tilt?

Wu Haogu pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Murong, if there is no Lighthouse City, do you think there is any other way for the Great Song Dynasty to restore Yanyun?" ”

"This ......," said the old man Murong stroked his beard, "Ma Erlang didn't tell you?" ”

Ma Zhi's method is to wait for the civil strife in Liao, and at the same time train a crack army...... These are actually Murong Forget Worries' thoughts.

However, this is probably more difficult than building a lighthouse free city, right?

……

"Training? Rectify the east and west roads of Hebei? Zihou, are you serious? ”

Kaifeng Mansion, in Zhang Dan's Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Qi, who had entered the court, had already heard Zhang Dan's plan to train troops and rectify the east and west roads of Hebei, and he was immediately frightened and sweated.

Is the forbidden army of Kaifeng Mansion something that civilian officials can touch?

Can the new party touch the giants on the east and west roads of Hebei?

And the official family's health is still so bad now, in case there are three long and two short, the Zhang family's life will not be able to pass?

"Qianfu," Zhang Dian shook his head and said, "You have led troops for many years, you should know whether the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, the Hebei Forbidden Army and the Hebei East and West Roads can fight, right?" ”

Zhang Ji shook his head and said nothing.

How could he not know, don't look at the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army now has 590,000 soldiers, but the most that can fight is 100,000 Northwest Forbidden Army - this is still the number on the military register, in fact, it is not bad to have 70,000 or 80,000.

As for the 490,000 forbidden troops outside the northwest, there are at least 100,000 or 200,000 of all kinds of quotas, and the rest are the old and weak and the weak soldiers who can't be trained.

If you want to rectify and train the Kaifeng Forbidden Army and the Hebei Forbidden Army, you have to touch the interests of a large number of founding generals. These founding generals are not ordinary military attachés who are easy to bully, they are nobles who have intermarried with the Zhao family from generation to generation, and they have long been one with the Zhao family.

In addition, these founding generals were already relatively close to the old party, and they were all northerners! Many descendants of the old party bigwigs have also become noble generals by supplementing military attachés. Therefore, once the new party takes action to rectify the Kaifeng and Hebei forbidden armies, it may cause the noble generals to completely fall to the old party!

There are also some headaches. The Kaifeng and Hebei forbidden armies not only had too many quotas and too weak combat effectiveness, but also had poor equipment.

Taking the Kaifeng Forbidden Army as an example, the kind of heavy and thick foot armor and cavalry armor do not exist at all, and no one wants to wear it! Since no one wears it, the weapon is naturally too lazy to build, and it is unknown whether it can be built over time?

And the situation of military horses is even worse, the horse politics of the Great Song Dynasty has long been bad at home...... This incident was caused by Wang Anshi, and a large number of pastures were abolished and leased to farmers for farming. And the "Horse Protection Law" can't protect horses...... Later, the herd husbandry department resumed raising horses, and the situation was worse than before, and a few war horses could not be provided in a year, and I didn't know where to start if I wanted to rectify it?

"It is impossible to rectify the Kaifeng and Hebei forbidden armies." Zhang Qi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There are too many people who have offended, and those soldiers are too corrupt, and it is difficult to rectify them." ”

"How's that good?" Zhangton asked.

"Instead of rectifying the old soldiers, it is better to recruit new army ......" Zhang Qi frowned deeply, "Now the martial arts of the forbidden army generals in Kaifeng and Hebei are not said to be much inferior to the elite of the Western Army, even compared with the peasant boys from all walks of life in the frontier of Shaanxi." The people of all walks of life in the Shaanxi frontier have long been accustomed to war, and many of the young people's fathers and ancestors have died in the king's affairs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are loyal to the martyrs, and they have long been accustomed to seeing the death and injury of the conquest. Moreover, the land of Qin is bitterly cold and barren, and there are decades of great wars, and those who can survive are people who are extremely hard-working and hard-working.

If you can recruit 40,000 or 50,000 Shaanxi teenagers, train hard for ten or eight years, and then add tens of thousands of iron armor, 30,000 strong bows, 10,000 war horses, tens of thousands of horses, and make ten generals, you should be able to fight. ”

Zhang's method is obviously more reliable than Zhang's, but in some respects it goes further.

Zhangdun's training is to train old soldiers, that is, to refine and rectify the Kaifeng and Hebei forbidden armies. And Zhang Kai's method was to abandon the forbidden army and go directly to Shaanxi to recruit a new army.

It is certain that the peasant boys in the states and counties on the frontier of Shaanxi can fight better than the elites of the Kaifeng and Hebei forbidden armies! Because the war in the northwest not only dispatched the forbidden army, but also a large number of militia and civilians, the civilian military service was extremely heavy. In some places, few men even live past the age of 30!

Therefore, recruiting young people from the Shaanxi frontier areas to join the army is certainly the easiest to train, and the combat effectiveness is certainly the most powerful.

But here comes the problem again...... Who is going to recruit and train soldiers?

Recruit Shaanxi Youth Training ...... This seems to be easier to practice into a stunt with a yellow robe! Will it be handed over to the Western Army? The Chong family, the Yao family, the Zhe family, and the Liu family are already a bit of a big deal, and if they let their family train a young recruit of one or two generals, will it not be against the sky in the future?

Or let the civilian officials of the New Party supervise the army and choose young officers from the Central African General Sect of the Western Army to train in the army? So who is going to do the work of this "Overseer"? Who would dare to kill this "Overseer" who seems to be only one step away from the addition of the yellow robe?
