Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

But at this time, no matter how much the Jin army fought, after the huge strategic victory, the balance of the times had already tilted to the side of Song Dynasty.

After the seventh Song-Jin war, Jin Wushu was not only faced with the problem of rearranging defenses, but another power struggle within the Kingdom of Jin was about to start.

At this time, the Song Dynasty ushered in a new era.

On August [-]th, the South China Sea Victory News was put in front of Zhao Guan's family after several months.

This made Zhao Ning so excited that he couldn't express it. He walked back and forth in Wende Hall, looking at the map from time to time.

Look at the South China Sea, then look at the Northwest!

Since the Anshi Rebellion, Huaxia began to shrink in an all-round way.

This shrinkage is not only in the territory, but also in the ideology.

The Battle of Lingyamen established the Song Dynasty's maritime power in the South China Sea.

Since then, Da Song has controlled the ocean route from the southeast coast to Lingyamen.

This means that the initiative in the future trade between the East and the West will be in the hands of Zhao Guanjia.

That is not just a steady stream of financial income, but a wider world. In the future, countless Song people will go south along the sea line, and even pass through Lingyamen and enter the western sea.

And the financial pressure of his official Zhao family will be released like never before.

This will be a new beginning.

An era of unprecedented territorial expansion is coming.

In the morning, the chief executives arrived at Wende Hall together.

Zhang Shuye submitted a letter about rewarding the Liaodong Dragon Guards.

King Qi was given the title of King Liao.

Judging from this conferment, King Liao is above King Qi.

After all, Liao refers to the once powerful Liao Kingdom.

Han Shizhong was granted the title of Marquis of Anton, and all the generals under the Longwei Army were rewarded for their merits.

Zhang Qing, Hu Yantong and others all contributed.

Yang Zaixing was awarded the fourth rank of Zhongwu General.

Zhao Guan's family has a batch of imperial pens, and this matter is basically settled like this.

But that's not what we're going to discuss today.

Zhao Ning asked, "What is the total strength of the Shaanxi Sixth Route Army now?"

Zhang Shuye replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the total strength of the imperial army, Xiang army, Fan army and Tu army is 30."

"Without affecting people's livelihood, how much food can be dispatched to the front line of Shaanxi this year?"

"Shaanxi itself has relatively sufficient food, and if it is dispatched from the Yellow River and the Wei River, it can increase by 500 million shi. With the food support from the southeast and Jinghu, the price of food in various places will not be affected."

"What about next year?"

"Next year, 1000 million shi can be dispatched."

30 people, under ideal circumstances, would consume 360 million shi of grain a year. Due to the loss during transportation, it would be 500 million shi.

According to this food demand, it is absolutely sufficient.

This is where Great Song is far stronger than Jin.

"How much money is in the treasury now?"

Zhao Ding came out and said: "The national treasury now has 8000 million guan, and we will soon pay compensation to the soldiers who died in the front line, and we will also invest in the reconstruction of Anbei Mansion and Liaodong Army Town. 2000 million guan is enough."

It seems that selling the land is really fucking making money!

Wang Zonglin is still working overtime in Sijing to sell land. The total income from land sales calculated before is more than 1 million yuan.

"Then the remaining 6000 million guan, is it enough to destroy Xixia?"

Qian Yuqing came out and said, "Your Majesty, after deducting the daily expenses of about 4000 million guan, there are only 2000 million guan left."

"2000 million guan, is Mie Xia enough?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and for a while, they were afraid to answer these words.

After all, the matter of exterminating Xia was too dreamy for the civil servants of the Song Dynasty.

A Xixia has been in the northwest for more than 100 years!

"Enough!" Lu Yihao said.

"Okay, then get ready!"

Cai Mao said: "Your Majesty, whether the Jin army in Anbei Mansion has withdrawn or not has not yet been clarified. Is it too hasty to start discussing the extermination of Xia now?"

"Enough is enough, the withdrawal of the Jin army is inevitable." Zhao Ning said, "But what you say is reasonable, everything must be confirmed, and you can't act rashly."

As soon as Zhao Guanjia's words fell, Wang Huaiji's voice came from outside Wende Hall: "Guanjia, Wu Shuai has sent an urgent letter."

"Bring it in."

Zhao Guanjia took it over and looked at it, and immediately smiled and said: "Jin Wushu personally wrote the withdrawal order here, but it has his seal on it, and it is true."

Everyone felt a little emotional for a while, and the Jin army withdrew its troops like this.

Cai Mao continued: "The withdrawal of the Jin army does not mean that the Jin army will not leave Anbei Mansion again. The imperial court sent troops to attack Xia. No one is sure how long it will take to destroy Xia. How do you feel after fighting, and Jin Guo came back to his senses, and once again a large army pressed into Anbei Mansion?"

The question Cai Mao raised was not out of the blue. It is indeed a very serious question.

The strength of the Jin army is obvious to all. The fact that the Jin army is not going south does not mean that the Jin army cannot fight.

If Anbei Mansion suffers heavy losses again, I am afraid that there will be voices from all over the Song Dynasty to withdraw troops from Anbei Mansion.

And if there is a slight problem in Faxia, and the two roads are blocked, it is not a good thing.

"What's your opinion, sir?"

Cai Mao said: "The key lies in Liaodong. If the Liaodong front can be further expanded, Jin will not dare to rush westward."

Zhao Guanjia nodded and said, "It makes sense."

"In view of the smooth situation of the battle in Liaodong this time, I have another proposal."

"Come on."

"In order to mobilize resources in Liaodong faster, Liaodong needs a higher-level commander. In special times, there is no need to consult the court, and he can make decisions in four aspects: military administration, civil affairs, finance, and personnel."

When Cai Mao talked about this, he was short of giving King Liao more power.

This is like a closed country.

Just like those vassal states in the early Han Dynasty.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Cai Mao quickly added: "The minister is also in order to better advance the situation in Liaodong and reduce unknown threats for the next expedition to Xia. We should use extraordinary measures at extraordinary times."

"Nonsense, is it possible that my Great Song Dynasty should imitate Sima's Jin Dynasty?" Lu Yihao said coldly.

In the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, such things as enfeoffment are a reversal of history.

Chapter 1013 Managing Chang'an ([-]rd update)

Cai Mao said: "This is an extremely opportune time, and we have to do it as a last resort. After the war is over, we can handle it flexibly."

"Is it possible to deal with military affairs and financial affairs flexibly?" Lu Yihao did his part.

Cai Mao asked, "Then what is Lu Xianggong's opinion?"

"Han Shizhong is the protector of Andong, and it is enough for him to control the military and government of Liaodong. The king of Liao has made great contributions. He can go to Korea to govern the civil affairs, and use the wealth of Korea to support the army of Liaodong."

Lu Yihao's three or two sentences blocked Zhao Chen's way.

In fact, the political system of the Song Dynasty does need some adjustments now.

The territory is expanding, and the social structure is becoming more and more complex.

"I also have something to say." Qin Hui stood up.

"Say."

"Jin Wushu sent 20 troops to attack Anbei Mansion this time, but there was no result. On the contrary, our Great Song Dynasty is in a state of invincible power in Liaodong. There will inevitably be criticism of Jin Wushu within the Kingdom of Jin. At this time, we only need to maintain enough troops in Liaodong, even if we can't get it. Liaoyang also made it necessary for the Jin Kingdom to readjust its forces on the eastern front, not to mention the Jin people going out of the Yinshan Mountain in the west, but it is already good to guard the cloud."

Qin Hui explained the essence of the moment in a few words.

Immediately, he said again: "Furthermore, with Yue Fei sitting in Hebei, Jin Wushu wants to send troops to Yinshan Mountain again, repeating the old tricks, and has no financial support."

It seems that Qin Hui never hoped that Zhao Chen could gain military power, financial power, personnel power, and civil power in Liaodong.

Qian Yuqing on the side couldn't help feeling emotional.

As far as the current court situation is concerned, both the local government and the court have reached an extremely delicate balance.

The power of the Liao King in the local area is growing, and the Liao King is used to deter Qin Hui from the outside.

Qin Hui also placed his own people in the logistics of Dengzhou and Liaodong. As long as the King of Liao was there, Qin Hui's people would not be able to do much there.

From the perspective of internal affairs, Cai Mao has formed a constraint on Qin Hui.

However, with Qin Hui around, Cai Mao didn't want to become big, let alone provide special care to King Liao in private.

Lu Yihao was even sharper, and bloodbathed Qin Hui's people in the Ministry of Punishment.

As for the military and political aspects, there is basically a new balance now.

Today, the Zhao government is promoting the separation of the military and the government. The Eastern government cannot intervene in the affairs of the Military and Political Yuan, and can only provide logistical material support.

Thinking of this, Qian Yuqing glanced at Zhao Guan's house without a trace.

I continued to think in my heart, the current court situation is actually not complicated to say the least, but it is also complicated.

From the dispute over the New Deal to the present, there are faint signs of a dispute over the establishment of reserves.

They just didn't know which prince Lu Yihao and Zhao Ding were standing at.

Zhao Ning asked, "Where is the Grand Master?"

Zhao Ding said: "I also think so."

"That's it. The king of Liao went to Korea to manage the people's livelihood."

On the same day, an urgent secret report was sent from Bianjing and quickly sent to Chang'an.

In the 11th year of Jingkang, August [-]th.

Autumn in Chang'an City gives people a sense of desolation, and the afternoon sun reflects the vicissitudes of life in this ancient city.

A carriage arrived at the gate of Chang'an City and was stopped by sergeants.

The groom handed over the proof, and the sergeant read: "Hu Quan, the former transfer envoy of West Jingnan Road and the current prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, arrived in Chang'an from Xiangyang to serve as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture."

After the sergeant finished reading, he immediately said, "Where is the man?"

Hu Quan opened the curtain and said, "Here."

"How do I prove it's me?"

Hu Quan was not angry either, and said with a smile: "This is the appointment letter of the Dongfu, how can it be faked?"

Hu Quan ordered someone to pass it over.

At this time, a fat man came over. He read the letter of appointment, immediately patted the sergeant on the head, and said, "I don't want to live anymore, even dare to block the way of the prefect of Hu!"

The sergeant immediately apologized and said: "Prefect Hu, what an offense, what an offense."

"It's okay, this is your duty, and it's also my duty." Hu Quan had a good temper, and he withdrew the appointment letter.

"The next official is Zhang Chong, the inspector of Chang'an. I have seen the prefect Hu, but I can't meet him far away. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, I just arrived in Chang'an."

"Prefect Hu, please, this officer will lead the way for you."

Zhang Chong was so enthusiastic that Hu Quan couldn't refuse for a while.

Then he entered Chang'an under the leadership of Zhang Chong.

The Chang'an City in the 11th year of Jingkang is no longer the Chang'an City in the first year of Jingkang.

Chang'an City is also becoming more and more prosperous, with pedestrians and traffic on the road.

Along the way, Zhang Chong chatted enthusiastically with the attendants and guards before and after. It wasn't that the attendants were enthusiastic, but that this guy really talked a lot.
