Chapter 665 Daming's Enemy

Su Yonglin pondered for a long time on this book, and after reading it for a long time, he gradually had an idea in his heart.

Now Tian Guizi and Shi Zheng both recognize Li Chui's talent, which makes him firm up his ideas.

So he asked Tian Guizi and Shi Zheng.

"Do you think there are any similarities between Li Chui's plan and the situation we are facing today? Is there anything that can be used in it? Does it have any guiding significance for us?"

Tian Guizi and Shi Zheng looked at each other and looked at Su Yonglin together.

"What does your majesty mean?"

Su Yonglin sighed.

"I consider that even if we return farmland to forest and plant trees in the upper reaches, it will be a long time before we see the results. During this period, the Yellow River will continue to carry sediment downstream, and the sediment will still be there, and the amount will not be small.

Just to change the Yellow River back to its old way, how to deal with the huge amount of sediment?If the results of afforestation are not so great, then there will be a day when the old road will still be raised and the riverbed will be turned into an above-ground river, the Yellow River will still overflow, and it will still be diverted, right? "

Tian Guizi thought for a while and nodded.

"Your Majesty is right. If the problem of sediment cannot be solved, sooner or later, the old route of the Yellow River will still be turned into an above-ground river. Therefore, the strategy proposed by His Majesty to flush the sand with water is under study."

"This is on the one hand. On the other hand, since the repair of the Yellow River this time is a major repair, then there must be a real big move. Instead of leaving some hidden dangers for future generations, it is better to completely repair the Yellow River to the end and protect it for another 800 years. Don’t change the course until future generations have enough ability to solve the problem of the Yellow River sediment.”

Su Yonglin said: "Go and study the possibility of implementing the river-guiding plan. Although I think it is good, it is a suggestion more than 100 years ago. You can go to the six rivers planned by Li Chui for field inspection. See how it's different now than it was then."

Shi Zheng was stunned.

"Your Majesty, do you plan to build six river channels according to Li Chui's suggestion? That's a huge amount of work. As Song Junchen said, not only is the amount of work huge, but it is also uncertain whether it will be effective or not.

If there is no effect after construction, or the effect is not obvious, isn't it a waste of effort?And before that, it was the most important thing to change the Yellow River back to its old path, which in itself was a huge project. "

"I know, so I ask you to study it to see if there are any special difficulties or particularly infeasible solutions."

Su Yonglin nodded and said: "Time has changed, so many years have passed, and the hydrology of the year may not be the same as it is now, so we don't need to repair all the six rivers, and we can repair less.

But if it is really feasible, adding a river can share some of the risks of the old road, and it can also buy time for our upstream tree planting and soil consolidation.

More importantly, since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, agriculture in Hebei and the Central Plains has been withered, and the grain output has not been as good as the year.

According to Daohe Xingshengshu's point of view, opening a river channel can not only divert the risk of diversion of the Yellow River, but also allow Hebei and the Central Plains to get good irrigation again. significance. "

Since Su Yonglin has said so, Tian Guizi and Shi Zheng have no other objections.

For the Ming Empire, restoring agricultural production in Hebei and Central Plains, which had been declining since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, was of great significance.

So they nodded and prepared to send people to form a working group to explore the area of ​​the six rivers planned by Li Chui to see if the suggestions made more than a hundred years ago still make sense today.

If it is really feasible, it can not only share the risk of the Yellow River, but also benefit agricultural production, so no matter what, everyone should give it a try.

This is a good thing that merits in the present and benefits in the future.

Su Yonglin never thought that he couldn't manage the Yellow River well, just how much money, how much manpower, and whether the determination is enough, if all three are complete, he is confident to guide the Yellow River back to its old way, and add valves to the safety of the Central Plains.

Although it must cost a lot.

Su Yonglin did not deny this.

Judging from the current level of financial revenue and expenditure of the Ming Empire, it is still very difficult to independently support this large project, and the financial pressure will be very great, but if it is beneficial to the people's livelihood, then his personal enjoyment will be insignificant.

And if nothing else, if there are other income, it can also reduce a lot of financial burden.

The so-called income is of course the annual coins of the Southern Song Dynasty. If the annual coins of the Southern Song Dynasty can be obtained, it will not only reduce the financial burden of the Ming Empire, but also further aggravate the class contradictions in the Southern Song Dynasty, and give Su Changsheng and Zhao Yucheng their activities Create an opportunity.

This will accelerate the decline of the Southern Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and accelerate the development of the Renaissance Society in the Southern Song Dynasty, which will greatly help the Ming Dynasty to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in the future.

Now let's see how Xin Qiji's negotiation turns out.

While Su Yonglin was working in Zhongdu, she accompanied Zhao Xirui to raise her baby while waiting for the news of Xin Qiji.

Xin Qiji acted resolutely, and soon, Su Yonglin received a letter from Xin Qiji, and learned about the result of this southward negotiation and the attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Faced with the Jin Kingdom, which has seized half of the country and has a bloody feud, Zhao Gou complied with his promises, presented a large sum of old coins in both hands, bowed his knees and obeyed the thieves, and would rather be a minister and survive as a vassal state, and lose the face of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In the face of Daming, who has never had any quarrel with Song, Zhao Gou is very tough. He will go to Lin'an to get a coin every year. It seems that he does not take Daming seriously. I want to know, he Zhao Gou Where did the courage come from thinking that the Ming army could not go to Lin'an? "

After Xin Qiji hurried back to the Central Capital, Su Yonglin convened and presided over a meeting of the staff council. A large number of professional staff officers in the staff council participated in the meeting.

At the meeting, Su Yonglin severely criticized Zhao Gou's serene nature, expressed serious indignation and dissatisfaction with his series of actions, and directly characterized Zhao Gou as "the enemy of Daming".

"Since he said that he wants us to go to Lin'an to get the new year coins, okay, then let's go to Lin'an to get the new year coins. I want to see if the Lin'an city's new year coins are good or not!"

Su Yonglin made a final decision and set the tone for launching the war against Song.

The staff members of the General Staff were inexplicably delighted.

Naturally, the General Staff was born for the military, and naturally it will only be honored for military achievements.

Su Yonglin has not started a war for nearly a year, and has devoted himself to the work of economic construction. Therefore, the General Staff Council will not be able to obtain any merits for a while, and not even the army can receive any merits.

Although it is said that people who help local governments manage public security, help farmers with farm work and repair water conservancy projects can also get some awards, but the fundamental purpose of the army's existence is not this.

They still yearn for a war that can realize their values.

For Su Yonglin, launching a war is a prudent thing. Unless it is necessary or beneficial, it is obvious how much problems a war will bring to economic construction.

For now, it is necessary to start the war against the Song Dynasty, because the funds needed to manage the Yellow River can be obtained from the Southern Song Dynasty. gesture.

At the same time, Su Yonglin believes that this war will not expand into a full-scale war, but a partial war that can quickly achieve the expected goal.

The basic principle is not to expand the war, to withdraw troops and return immediately after reaching the goal, and never reluctant to fight.

The goal of this series is to strictly control military spending and prevent the war from affecting the subsequent Yellow River remediation project.

After Su Yonglin put forward the basic requirements for this war to the General Staff, the General Staff started to plan the battle against Song on this basis.

The main goal is to defeat the Song army's line of defense in a short period of time, and the troops will come to Lin'an to let the Southern Song Dynasty know how powerful the Ming army, which was born out of the Restoration Army, is, so that the Southern Song Dynasty can clearly recognize their situation and know what they should do. matter.
