The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Seeing that the prince did not object to what he said, Zhao Xiao listened seriously. The more he said, he became more and more excited, and Zhao Qi was happy to see his subordinates grow up quickly.

"From a military perspective, after our army's attack, Xixia suffered heavy population losses, and most of the losses were young and strong, which required time to recuperate. It is definitely not something that a person can do from a child to a soldier in one or two years;

After the defeat of the Western Xia army, its power was greatly reduced. All ethnic groups in Hexi and neighboring countries paid tribute to our Song Dynasty and surrendered. Xixia must maintain a certain amount of troops to implement deterrence and maintain its rule. Now the Liao Kingdom is difficult to protect itself, so it still needs to

Xixia supports us, not only if we lose our backing, but we also need to mobilize a large number of troops to support Liao, so how can we have the time to attack us!" Zhao Zhi said, "Economic point of view, Xixia has to pay us war compensation for the defeat and pay annual monies.

It is enough to consume their potential to start a war again; Xixia is not rich in products and has many natural disasters. Now after the business is open, our economic dependence on us is even more serious. It not only needs goods, but also trade taxes to maintain the operation of the country. Therefore, Xixia is

Before we can get rid of our economic dependence, we will not be able to fight as long as we don’t find fault!"

"Hmph, you have been talking for a long time. It's not because our loyal and brave army is strong, otherwise Xixia would be obedient. It would be good if he didn't steal ours!" Although Zhao Xiao knew that Zhao Zhi was right, he was doing it to him.

Depreciate the effect of military existence, and retorted.

"Our loyal and brave army is strong, but can it be possible without financial support? Now, the standard of each soldier is one tael of oil, three taels of meat, one pound of vegetables, and two liters of food a day, not to mention the standards of our great Song army, the Liao army is not the Liao army a day.

Guo, Xixia. And which Jurchens can compare with! Your cannon fires is a consistent amount of money. Is it okay to have no money? I’m afraid we will be defeated without a fight in ten days!" Zhao Zhi saw Zhao Xiao

Not convinced, I started to reason with him...

Zhao Qiong looked at the two favorite generals' fight, but did not stop it, but listened quietly. A country's strategic design is a whole horizontally, isolated on military affairs, and economics, and always blind people touch the elephant.

.If you lose your condescending strategic vision, you will always see fragments. And without even figuring out the actual problems, you will naturally not find a solution to the problem. In the vertical direction, when any country understands reality,

Neither of them can escape from their own special experiences and thinking habits. They used to be in charge of each other, so naturally they did not have this overall concept, but being able to consider problems in their own acres is also an improvement.

Progress will be beneficial to the future development of the loyal and brave army...

"In the history of all dynasties, the rise, expansion and competition of every emerging force is the first step to a history of hegemony struggle. This kind of struggle spans many areas of culture, economy, and politics, but in the final analysis, the most important and most important

The ultimate confrontation is still a military confrontation. Whether it is a confrontation that actually uses military power or just uses deterrence and intimidation, the basic premise is to have a strong armed force and strong financial support, and the two are not contradictory!" But in the end, the

Neither of the two could convince each other, so they had to turn to the prince to make a judgment. Zhao Qi did not answer directly what they were right or wrong, but instead lived a life, but his words were not bad.

"Prince, since Xixia may rise again in a few years, why don't we just send troops to Hexi to completely defeat Xixia and prevent him from becoming enemies with us again?" Zhao Xiao said.

"Because the current situation does not allow it, Xixia is no longer the main enemy of the Song Dynasty. We must prevent the resurgence of Xixia. At the same time, we must see a potentially powerful enemy that has emerged, and the two countries will surely take a large scale.

The war!" Zhao Qi smiled.

"Your Majesty is talking about the Jurchens?" Zhao Xiao suddenly thought of the Jurchens who rose rapidly in the past ten years. They established a country with a strong resistance, and it was only a matter of time before they replaced the Liao Kingdom.

"Yeah!" Zhao Qi nodded.

"Prince. Haven't our Song Dynasty signed a maritime alliance with the Jurchens, and jointly defeated Liao and recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun? They should be our alliance. How could they be potential enemies?" Zhao Zhi

He asked in confusion that it is no secret that the envoys of the Song and Jin countries frequently exchanged in recent years.

"You must know that you are still a soldier now and have an adversary consciousness. Otherwise, once a military force loses the "adversary consciousness", it will enter the downward line of depravity. So even if our country does not set an opponent, our army will be in the middle of the day.

We must also set up opponents, and even each military must have its own imaginary enemy, study new tactics and new tactics, so that we can be invincible when the war breaks out!" Zhao Qi said.

"Oh, I understand!" Zhao Xiao turned his face and looked at Zhao Zhi as if he was suddenly aware. They were the 'eenagers' of the loyal and brave army. He suddenly realized that their victory in the war against Xixia was not accidental. At that time, they were still far away from thousands of miles away.

When Xiangyi had just started to learn military affairs, the prince had already regarded the Xia army as his opponent, and at that time, there were less than a hundred people including the prince. They not only had to organize the Xia army, banner, and configuration of the troops,

We also need to understand the history, humanities and subsequent expansion of the army in terms of training and military arrangements, and the characteristics and geographical environment of the Xia army's combat, but at that time they did not understand the profound meaning of the prince's actions!

"Prince, why did you use economic means to stabilize Xixia and hurried back to Taiyuan? Is the court trying to use troops against Liao?" Zhao Zhi asked the prince.

"Yes, the voice of the court's attack on Liao has risen again. I'm afraid that the army will be used against Liao next year. We will definitely draw the Western army to participate in the war. We must also be prepared!" Zhao Qi said with a sad face. No matter what he is, all kinds of signs show

The wheels of history are still rolling forward according to their original trajectory...

... ...

The capital city has been very lively for the past six months. First of all, after Zhao Qi returned to the northwest, he used the support of the emperor to suppress the Kuotian envoy and officials sent by Wang Fu. The greed of those people also made the local tyrants dissatisfied and petitioned one after another.

Under the double squeeze, they had to return to the capital in shame, which also made their master Wang Fu feel dull, so they exhaled their anger on Tong Guan, who was full of energy.

Tong Guan led his troops south to destroy Fang La, and took him to the capital and chopped his head. The emperor was very happy and rewarded Tong Guan. At this moment, he was promoted to Taishi, and his status had surpassed Cai Jing, and the Taizai Wang Fu was also

He could only accept the disadvantage. However, Wang Fuxin was unwilling to accept it. He just got disgraced in the northwest and made Tong Guan step on it again, so he wanted to join forces with his godfather to try to trick Master Tong down.

At this moment, the emperor wanted to restore the flower stone sphere because there were still a few stones missing from the Gen Yue that was about to be built, which was the top priority for Zhao Ji, who pursued a perfect life. The emperor's idea coincided with Wang Fu, who was Wang Fu

It is the head of Hua Shi Gang, the guarantee of his life that is more superior than the emperor. He is more than anyone else looking forward to Hua Shi Gang's immediate recovery. But Tong Guan opposed it, and he sighed - the rice cooker of the Southeastern family is still

If you don’t have enough stability, you want to do this again!

When saying this, Tong Guan said that he was very disappointed, but it embarrassed the emperor and Wang Fu. They were both 'smart' people, so how could they not hear that Tong Guan was scolding them. The scar was healed and then they forgot.

It hurts, and he is also involved in Hua Shigang, not afraid of the people in the southeast causing trouble again! Zhao Ji is still a shameless person and feels a little embarrassed, and Tong Guan has just made great contributions, so he endured it.

But Wang Fu, who was not dying of anger, saw the opportunity. You are unkind, don’t blame me for being unrighteous. He took a piece of things and entered the palace. It was written by Tong Guan in the beginning of the rebellion.

A 'Self-Sin' edict'. The content of the matter in the Hua Shi Gang is a misunderstanding. In recent years, I have indeed purchased a lot of flowers, trees, bamboo and stones from Jiangnan, but the official has specially allocated special funds to buy them. At the same time, I have repeatedly asked for it.

Fair business among the people, but unexpectedly, a scum like the Zhu father and son came out. They deceived their superiors and subordinates and fed their own pockets, which not only caused the people of Jiangnan, but also deceived the emperor far away in Kaifeng City.

Zhao Ji was both ashamed and even more angry when he saw it. Fortunately, he did not forget the "Imperial Pen" he had given to Tong Guan, allowing him to issue an imperial edict in his name in Jiangnan, but that was to help you quell the rebellion, not to let you take the Emperor's place

He is self-criticized. He is a perfect person. How can he tolerate himself making mistakes and admit his mistakes to the world! So Tong Guan was in trouble, Wang Fu was satisfied, and he successfully demolished another person and defeated Tong Guan

, his power will rise higher, and may even penetrate into the army and become a big shot who integrates politics and military, which is incomparable to Cai Jingdu.

Tong Guan was disguised by Wang Fu. Although he was frustrated, he had no choice. Who told him to say inappropriate words at the right time? But the tried and tested Tong Guan would not be easily defeated. He knew that he would win the emperor again.

There is only one thing to do when favoring and realizing his dream of being a king - to attack Liao, so Tong Guan submitted a memorial and proposed to fulfill his contract with the Jin Kingdom and recover Yanjing. However, if you want to send troops, you must not only have to agree with the emperor, but also to pass the prime minister.

Wang Fu's level, now the two of them are in the same situation. This is a very difficult thing, but Tong Guan's small note scared Wang Fu and forced him to find a way to convince himself first and then convince the emperor.

send troops...

In fact, Zhao Ji was really happy for a few days since signing the alliance with Aguda, but later, when Aguda really sent troops to attack Liao, he reneged on his repentance and did not want to attack Liao. The main reason was that he used his own judgment.

I still have doubts about the military strength of the Jin Kingdom. Think about the fact that the Song Dynasty fought with the Liao Kingdom for nearly a hundred years since its founding, but it ended up losing more than winning less. This time, the Song and Jin ally formed an alliance to deal with the Liao Kingdom. If it wins, it will be

Forget it, once Song and Jin join forces to defeat Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yanxi will ask him to settle the accounts, which will be troublesome...
