Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Gou seems to be very active. There are still many things about the clan that have not been implemented in detail. Judging by his appearance, he wants to drive some people to the end.

Early in the morning, Zhao Ning invited Zhao Gou to have breakfast, and the two discussed how to dispose of many properties in the imperial family case.

Discussed until noon.

Only then did he mention the attitude towards Jin Guo.

Zhao Gou seemed to have regained his pretentious momentum in the Jin army camp. He said to Zhao Ning: "We must fight the Jin people to the end. All the peacemakers have ulterior motives!"

This is in line with the state of mind of Zhao Gou before he ascended the throne in history. After all, he had never been frightened.

The feeling of fear in Daming Mansion last year gradually faded away, and he changed his body again, wanting to be firm in the main battle.

In fact, we cannot simply say that peace is a mistake.

National diplomacy is not about recklessness.

The idea of ​​the peace faction is nothing more than the feeling that the Song army can win if they fight head-on now, but if they continue to fight, they will definitely not be able to fight.

As for the people clamoring for a bloody battle to the end, this is a good thing, and those in power should not suppress their enthusiasm.

But in the end, it was decided not to just listen to what the people said.

It depends on how much money is on the books, and how many people are left on the front line who can go to the battlefield head-on.

And now is a special period, and it depends on how much armament is still in the arsenal.

More importantly, how much food can be mobilized?

The south naturally has a lot of food. Can the entire set of bureaucratic administrative efficiency of the Song Dynasty be able to support the continued fighting?

You must know that the biggest reason why the Song army was able to take the initiative in the third Song-Jin war was that it had made sufficient preparations in advance.

Including mobilizing troops and food in advance, sending money to the front line indiscriminately, and building a large number of defensive fortresses.

But these consume too much in this battle.

Especially troops and money.

Therefore, someone in the DPRK and China suggested that now is the best time to negotiate a peace. From a rational political point of view, it may not be wrong.

For example, at this time, Tang Ke, the former Shaozai who had been dormant at home, wrote a rare letter "On the Disadvantages of the Times" to analyze the current situation.

The solution he proposed was to send someone to talk with Jin Jun, talk first, and try to talk about what can be done.

It means watching the food and eating.

The Great Song Dynasty should start to move the capital to Guanzhong, consolidate the capital with the danger of mountains and rivers, and secure the world.

However, Zhang Shuye, the military and political envoy, is the main battle group.

He also played "On the Song and Jin Wars", especially clarifying the advantages of fighting on the Eastern Front.

Once the Jin army arrived in the Lianghuai River, they would face a land of water villages densely covered with rivers. The Jin people were not good at water, which also had a great restraint effect on the Jin army cavalry.

Zhao Ning has read both memorials.

He naturally has his own plans.

On this day, he made a special trip to summon Tang Ke who had been put aside.

Tang Ke stood at the gate of Wende Hall waiting for the emperor's arrival.

Not long after, I saw the figure of Zhao Guanjia, who was accompanied by Qin Hui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment who had just been restored to his post, Zhao Gou, King of Kang, and Li Guang, the transfer envoy of Gyeonggi Road.

They walked towards Wende Hall.

Tang Ke saluted and said: "I see the officials."

"It's Tang Xianggong who is here, let's go in and talk."

Tang Ke had a hundred doubts in his heart.

Since October of the first year of Jingkang, he was dismissed from the position of prime minister because of the peace, and he has been at home.

In fact, he was still waiting for the emperor to summon him again, but there was no movement for more than a year. He thought that the emperor had completely forgotten himself.

Unexpectedly, after today's memorial, he was immediately summoned by the emperor.

Seeing Tang Ke coming, Qin Hui thought to himself, Tang Ke is the backbone of the peace talks, why did he suddenly enter the palace to face the saint today? Could it be that the officials have the master and will?

It is impossible to negotiate a peace.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

It is impossible for the weak side to initiate a peace proposal, otherwise the other party will think that you cannot handle it.

After finally getting the situation to this point, the results of this battle should soon be passed on to Yanjing, and then back to Shangjing.

There will inevitably be an unprecedented political earthquake inside the Jin Dynasty Hall.

At this time, Da Song took the initiative to propose a reconciliation?

Zong Han, who is depressed, is afraid that he will wake up with a smile in his dreams.

Let the results of the third battle between Song and Jin be digested in the Jin Kingdom Chaotang first.

Don't be in a hurry to play chess, and keep changing.

Now is the time to quietly watch what the opponent is going to do.

This is called letting the bullets fly for a while.

As for this window period, of course it is to improve the statistics of the number of deaths in battle, prepare pensions, appease the front line, mobilize food, consolidate war defense, and prepare for the comeback of the Golden Army at any time.

However, Zhao Ning did not intend to forcibly suppress some voices for peace talks this time.

why?

This is a political strategy called fuzzy strategy.

Fuzzy strategy is the most commonly used strategy in the game of great powers in the 21st century.

This kind of strategy is the same as a scumbag cheating on a girl, or like green tea playing with a man. You don't make a statement and hang on to you.

After this war, Jin Guo will definitely send people to investigate the voice of the Great Song Dynasty Hall about the next war.

If they find that the Song Dynasty is all the main fighters, and they roll up their sleeves one by one, they can't wait to rush to the north to destroy the Kingdom of Jin. way of pie.

This is the courage of a common man, not the wisdom of a country seeker.

However, within the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhuhe faction must not be allowed to take power, especially the military administration, otherwise it will inevitably be passive and sabotage.

In this strategy, finding a delicate balance is what Zhao Ning needs.

The vague strategy, let Jin Guo see it, let Jin Guochaotang himself fall into controversy.

After Tang Ke entered the Wende Palace, Zhao Ning asked the others to retreat first, leaving only Tang Ke.

"I've finished reading your memorial."

Zhao Ning said succinctly: "I will answer your memorial. I will not move the capital to Chang'an. Guanzhong is withered and southeast is rich. This is a foregone conclusion. If you enter Guanzhong, it will be tantamount to giving up Huaidong. It is absolutely not advisable."

Tang Ke said: "But there is no danger on the eastern front."

"Military and political confidentiality, you don't have to ask too much in the future, I will arrange someone to deal with it."

"His Majesty……"

"I'm looking for you, I have other things for you."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"I want you to go to Jinghu North Road as a transshipment envoy."

Chapter 160 Yue Fei: Someone Gives Military Merit Again? (Second more)

Tang Ke was a little surprised.

Zhao Ning continued: "You can't stay in the capital for the time being. Most of the people hate you. The admonishers and officials in the court have impeached you time and again."

"I don't know why Your Majesty asked the minister to go to Jinghu North Road?"

"Jinghu North Road is full of lakes, rich in aquatic products, fertile land, suitable for farming, and there is still a lot of land that has not been mined. It is time for the country to use grain. The purpose of sending you is to vigorously open up wasteland and turn Jinghu North Road into a land of wasteland. Another Huainan Road."

On the books of Lianghuai in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 9736 million mu of land, nearly 1 million mu, and the entire Great Song Dynasty had 7.8 million mu.

It shows the prosperity of Lianghuai at this time.

And Jinghu North Road is only about 2600 million mu.

But there is a proverb in the Ming Dynasty: Huguang is cooked, and the world is full.

Huguang here is Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road, that is, Hubei and Hunan.

How many acres of land did Huguang Province have in the Ming Dynasty?

During the Wanli period, there were about 7756 million mu of land, which was 4688 million mu more than the 3068 million mu of the Song Dynasty at this time.

In the Republic of China, there were more than [-] million mu of land here, an absolute agricultural province.

The most important thing is that there are many lakes and well-developed water conservancy, and the agriculture of the Song Dynasty has already developed a trend of ecological agriculture.

Once the wasteland is cleared out of Jinghu Road, the grain from Jinghu Lake can be transported along the Yangtze River to the southeast, and then transported by water from the southeast to Jingji Road, Hebei, and Hedong.

It is possible to transfuse blood for Hebei and Hedong.

Tang Ke finally understood that His Majesty wanted him to go to the local government.

Tang Ke was somewhat disappointed when he was suddenly demoted from a prime minister to a local official.

Zhao Ning said: "The task I entrusted to you is very important. It is related to the safety of the country and the livelihood of the people. You will naturally understand it in the future."

Tang Ke said: "Thanks to your majesty for not giving up, I am willing to share your worries and obey your majesty's orders."

"Okay, I'll hand over Jinghu North Road to you, and I hope you won't let me down again."

"Yes!"

Sun Fu, as long as he doesn't touch the military and politics, it's fine to engage in tough diplomacy.

Tang Ke is a man, as long as he doesn't touch the military and politics, and engages in people's livelihood management, he is definitely a good hand.

He used to be an official in the local area with outstanding achievements, and many people in the local area loved him.

Moreover, he once governed the Yellow River, so he can be regarded as a person of great merit.

As long as you don't touch the military!As long as you don't touch the military!As long as you don't touch the military!

Tang Ke didn't know that he was the vanguard sent by Zhao Ning to Jinghu North Road.

The land reform has just started on Gyeonggi Road. Last year, Chen Dong was working on a new land lease policy, which was a pilot project.

Once the model is cleared up, Zhao Ning will continue to choose several other ways to try to implement, so as to alleviate the extremely acute land problem.

In fact, the most difficult problem Zhao Ning is facing right now is not the fields in the south. Tang Ke is at most a chess piece, and he will lay it down first.

The most difficult problem now is still in Hedong and Hebei. It is not the Jin army, but our own people.

Hedong and Hebei have 4000 million mu of land on the books, but in fact it is far more than that, and the phenomenon of underreporting land in the north is also very serious.

Then the problem is coming.

Because of the war, many fields panicked, and some villagers died or fled.

This trend of southward flight continues.

If it is not curbed, the land south of the Yellow River has been annexed to the limit, and suddenly so many people come in, it will inevitably cause chaos in people's livelihood in many places.

Moreover, the population of Hebei and Hedong has dropped sharply. Where will the military and political food and military supplies there come from in the future?

After all, we must find a way to keep people there.

That's the quick fix right now.

Moreover, this issue also involves another issue at the level of national strategic resources.

iron ore!

A considerable part of the iron mines in the Song Dynasty were still distributed in the north such as Hebei and Jingdong East Road.

The largest salt pond is also in Jiezhou, east of the river.

Salt and iron were the lifeblood of a country in ancient times.

If everyone runs away, what about the mining of salt and iron?

The supply of salt in the market has decreased, and the price of salt has skyrocketed everywhere.
