I became the son of Renzong

"Yanmenguan was destroyed, Daizhou was destroyed, and Dingxiang and Xin counties were also turned into ruins. These are all caused by the war. The fault is on the other side...or there is no right or wrong in war, there is only victory or defeat. If you lose the war, you should be right. bear all the losses of the war."

"In addition, Minister Wen, in order to cooperate with Minister Han's negotiations, let's slowly transfer the 50 useless people in Gyeonggi Province to the north, and mobilize them with great fanfare!"

It is indeed easy to defeat, Zhao Xi doesn't speak like a king, he is a bit shameless...

"Your Majesty, since the letter of going abroad has agreed to the truce negotiations, it may be inappropriate for the country to transfer troops again. With the current situation, there will be no more wars. It is a waste of money and food to mobilize these forbidden troops to and fro."

The way of sages and sages is deeply rooted in the hearts of literati, especially this kind of big event that is put on the table and must be recorded in the annals of history.Fu Bi didn't want the court to backtrack, which would be detrimental to the dynasty's good reputation in history books.

"Minister Fu, gentlemen, the premise of signing and abiding by the covenant is that the power is evenly matched. As far as the Tanyuan Covenant is concerned, it is not wrong to say that the country pays money and food for peace, and time for development. But it is reflected in the covenant itself. Not equal, because Beiliao was strong at that time."

"Similarly, the covenant is actually just a rhetoric, just because both sides need this rhetoric. If the 50 imperial troops in Song Dynasty are new troops, do we need the covenant at this time?"

"To put it bluntly, signing the covenant is just a temporary practice. After signing the Tanyuan Covenant, didn't Beiliao raise the old coin later? Isn't it the same to attack Hedong now?"

"If our Great Song Dynasty is defeated this time, is it possible that the imperial court can use the Tanyuan Alliance to negotiate with Beiliao? Not to mention Xixia. While signing the alliance agreement, it will continue to harass."

"The degree of their education is different from that of the state. When communicating with scholars, they should talk about poetry and prose. When having a banquet with a charming lady, they should talk about wind and snow. Chatting with old farmers is only about farming. Therefore, when dealing with Liao and Xia people, Guo Dynasty Don't stick to sages, don't tie your hands and feet."

"It's still before the armistice, and the Northern Liao Dynasty has decided to negotiate. Isn't it the same as sending [-] troops at the border of Hebei Province? What's the matter with the increase of troops?"

"As for spending money and food... on this point, the victorious country should have the initiative. It depends on the outcome of the negotiations between Prime Minister Han."

"However, I estimate that in order to appease the palace guards and Oruduo of various families in Beiliao, the captives should be exchanged back... But the East Road needs labor and Dingkou..."

"Your Majesty, but 50 forbidden troops have been transferred to civilians?"

The purpose of officials has never been single.Perhaps the abolition of the 50 banned troops is the ultimate goal of the officials.Fu Bi thought so.

"Officials, filling the East Road with 50 imperial troops at one time is a serious matter, and it cannot be done without careful planning. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Whether it is Yanmenguan Daizhou area, or Yunzhou, Shuozhou, Huanzhou, and Yingzhou, these are all places of bitter cold. How can the imperial army, who was raised and abandoned by Bianliang's drunken money fans, endure the life of that bitter cold place.

50!If you are not careful, it is likely to be a military disaster or civil strife that is more terrifying than war.

Not only Fu Bi and Han Qi, but also Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi also felt that the official's matter was abrupt.

"Transferring to civilians is a matter for the future. Slowly mobilize and use prestige is conducive to negotiations."

Chapter 551

This is an edict with certain room for manipulation.

Slow mobilization, which is handed over to the Privy Council of the Political Affairs Hall to control a degree, not only to achieve the purpose of arrogance, but also to consume as little money and food as possible.

In fact, Zhao Xi wanted to broaden the minds of the husbands, and not always limit themselves to wars and wasting money and food.

Once this battle is over, Yanmen Pass is no longer a border pass, and Daizhou, Xinxian, and Dingxiang are no longer borders. The huge Datong Basin, the land of the four states...all of this, apart from the war, will have a lot to do.

Zhao Xi remembered that in later generations, the so-called Hedong Road was Shanxi Province, which was known as the hometown of the sea of ​​coal.

Today, as the new products of Workshop City take root in the prefectures and counties of the country, Zhao Xi hopes to usher in a so-called industrialization development.

This will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in the demand for coal, and even the possibility of a shortage of supply.

This is Zhao Xi's hope. Regardless of whether it will be as he thinks, he still needs to make preparations in advance to prevent coal production from being an obstacle as much as possible.

Therefore, Zhao Xi ordered Su Song and Shen Kuo to organize an exploration team...~

"Zirong, Cunzhong, the purpose of this trip is exploration, and you don't need to get involved in the border affairs. All the expenses will be borne by the workshop city temporarily. In fact, the ultimate goal is to move Dingkou north."

"The area around Yunzhou is vast and sparsely populated. All the dynasties of the Central Plains have regarded it as a place of bitter cold. Now that the dynasties have recovered the land of the four states, if there is no Dingkou to fill in, simply stationing troops with troops will not be worth the loss."

"To put it bluntly, the land east of the river needs a livelihood, just like a mining city, a livelihood that can support one or more cities."

"Of course, this is not a task that must be completed. Do your best. The prince and the two thousand new troops in the martial arts hall will leave the battle formation and cooperate with you."

Su Song saw some recent developments of the imperial court from the internal reference... In this matter, I have to say Cai Que, which is a bit vigorous and resolute.

Just after the imperial court promulgated the appointment, Cai Que quickly set up a framework for internal reference and reporting... From the daily life, the secretary Cheng, the Hanlin bachelor, the imperial edict, and the non-decision-making officials related to the important affairs of the imperial court, he will link them all Get up, take advantage of the imperial decree, pull the tiger's skin and pull the banner, and start doing it in a decent way... It is really hard work, and it has indeed achieved the level that Zhao Xi can rest assured.

This time, the imperial court's clean-up of the second official was the first trial publication of the internal reference, followed by officials and ministers meeting to discuss matters related to negotiations with the Northern Liao Dynasty.

Every time, Cai Que will ask the minister and the government for instructions on whether it should be published, the scope of the internal reference, the transmission method of state officials, and how to determine the level of confidentiality.

Su Song was one of the first batch of officials who planned to know the important affairs of the court, so he understood the purpose of the official's successive measures.

He knew that this long trip between himself and Shen Cunzhong would determine the real control of the imperial court over the four states in the Yunzhou area, and would determine the result of the officials mobilizing the imperial army to the north.

"Your Majesty, I will not disgrace the emperor's order! I have a discussion with the depositor, and I want to spend a year or even longer to explore the area north of Taiyuan Mansion..."

Hearing the meaning of Su Song's words, it seems that he is worried about returning in vain...

Thinking about it too much, Zhao Xi is familiar with coal resources on the East Road, but he also vaguely remembers that the iron ore reserves on the East Road are also quite rich.

Maybe even the track laying of East Road will not need the court to invest in it...

Guochao is indeed rich, even before Zhao Xi promoted the relevant industries, Guochao was quite rich... This time the troop deployment allowed Zhao Xi to truly understand the horror of Guochao's track network, which almost connected to the lower county level city , and even some places are connected to the manors of certain families... These officials will not pay a penny, but the workshop city earns everything that should be earned.

Thinking about the current scale of commercial taxation in the country, you should also be able to think of the status quo of hiding wealth from the people.

These old rich landlords should also invest their spare money, laying more tracks, buying more carriages, and investing in more industries... that's right.

One day, they will find that the output of those lands is not even a drop in the bucket.It was at that time that the gentry's greed for land could be changed to a certain extent, and they could be liberated from the land.Only in that way can the real property holders have perseverance, and can truly connect the family with the country by flesh and blood.

……

In the negotiations between the Song Dynasty and the Beiliao, because there was no basis for trust between the two parties, the final location was chosen in the northeast of Fanzhi, and it was also the wilderness in the southwest of Weizhou controlled by the Beiliao.

The purpose of Beiliao is actually very obvious. The choice of such a place for negotiations is more like preventing the army of Zhong'e from continuing to advance eastward and ensuring the safe withdrawal of the [-] cavalry they garrisoned and demonstrated in Hebei Road.

As soon as Xiao Zhuoer's intelligence feedback arrived in Beijing, Beiliao began to withdraw its troops... Even if it was winter, which was not conducive to the recovery of the horses, it did not change Beiliao's determination to withdraw troops.

At the same time, the place of negotiation between the two parties was chosen on the path of east Hubei to encircle and suppress the Hebei cavalry...

"Order Di Qing to stick to Yunzhou, and Guo Kui's department, in addition to staying behind the defense line on the West Road, ordered him to lead the army to negotiate armaments. Zhong'e can advance from Yunzhou to the northeast, wipe out the Rangers in Changqing and Tiancheng, and establish a defense line in Panshan area."

Now that we are doing the game, let's do the whole set.

Since Changqing and Tiancheng, the army can also break through Hongzhou and go south... It won't scare you to death!

Field negotiations?It's winter!The Northern Liao people don't care, how can the officials of the country bear this crime?

Beiliao refused to go to Yunzhou, and was quite resolute...~This is quite good, at least in fact admitting that Yunzhou belongs to Song Dynasty.

Let the negotiating team led by Han Qi go to Nanjing in Beiliao... Han Qi also resolutely refused.There is no way, Guochao is still keeping [-] captives. Han Qi thinks that his own value can be equal to the [-] captives of Northern Liao for Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xi wanted Han Qi to go to Shangjing in Beiliao, and even hoped that Beiliao would have the courage to detain Han Qi...
