Chapter 584 The trade war prepared for the Liao Kingdom

The four of them discussed for another round, and finally, based on the suggestions given by Lao Yang, they cut, deleted, and subtracted, and agreed on a reasonable military service system.

Under Yang Qi's command, there are four soldiers and horses. Except for the iron cavalry, the rest of the soldiers and horses will implement a new system.

The new military service system stipulates that the Ranger Army, the Datong Army, the Revival Army, and the soldiers and horses belonging to the three armies, and their ordinary soldiers, shall serve in the military for a period of five years. The period of military service may be extended appropriately during wartime, but not exceeding ten years.

Banzheng and his deputy Banzheng have ten years of service. After ten years, those who are willing to stay in the army can apply for an extension of their military service.

There are no regulations on the number of years of military service above the rank of squadron, to the rank of general.However, it stipulates the retirement time, which is limited to 60 years old, and those who have reached the age of 60 have retired.

At the same time, generals above the regiment level can apply to teach at Fuxing Wuyuan after retiring.

Moreover, no matter during the tenure or during the teaching period, as long as there is no war, the generals have time to go home and visit relatives.

In order to make it easier for the generals to go home and visit their relatives, the family members of the generals will be placed in the nearest town to the camp.

……

At the same time, the new military service system also stipulates the number of recruits and the time for replacing old soldiers.It is roughly the same as the suggestion given by Lao Yang, except that there is one more thing added. Soldiers can apply for extension of military service according to their own circumstances.

The new military service system is relatively perfect.

After finalizing all the details, Yang Qi sent someone to transcribe two copies, and one was sent to the Yamen of the Fuxing Mansion for review by Kou Zhun. After the review was correct, it would be announced to the people in the two mansions.

The reason why it was handed over to Kou Zhun for review is to let Kou Zhun find out the conflicts with his current policies in it, and then revise them.

This is also done for the sake of caution.

For example, Yang Qi stipulated in the new military service system that all family members of generals above the class should move to the towns near the garrison camp.In case Kou Zhun's decree is that the family members of the generals belonging to each place must move to live in the cities of each prefecture.

Then, the two decrees are in conflict.

Although there will not be any major conflicts, some small conflicts will also affect the credibility of Kou Zhun's administration.

After Kou Zhun got the new military service system, he read it carefully. Although he said all kinds of dislikes, he was secretly amazed in his heart.

He carefully calculated the following, the military service system established by Yang Qixin is far better than the military service system of the Song Dynasty.

First of all, although the military service system established by Yang Qixin will weaken the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, its benefits are long-term.

Under the control of this military service system, the soldiers will always maintain a certain combat effectiveness, and will not start to decay after ten or twenty years like most of the Song Dynasty's army.

Second, some mutinies were prevented to a large extent.

Under this military service system, private soldiers will cease to exist.

And without private soldiers, the generals commanded only the generals under his command. It was very difficult to mobilize a large number of people to mutiny or rebel.

Kou Zhun pinched the newly established military service system, and an idea popped up in his heart inexplicably.

It seems that this military service system is more suitable for the behemoth of Song Dynasty.

As soon as this idea came up, Kou Zhun strangled him to death.

He smiled wryly and shook his head, feeling that he was thinking a little too much.

Now, he can no longer be regarded as a pure Song official, and everything he considered for Da Song, Da Song would not adopt.

It's useless to think about it, so I simply don't want to.

After earnestly studying the new military service system, Kou Zhun waved the ink pen and wrote two big characters of Yin Hong on it.

approved!

After the approval, Kou Zhun immediately summoned the people in the yamen, began to copy the new military service system one by one, and then quickly distributed it to the yamen of the two prefectures.

At the same time, the original version was delivered to Yang Qi.

After Yang Qi saw the word "approved" above, he also quickly passed the scarecrow and conveyed the new military system to every soldier in every army.

It is difficult to predict what changes will occur in the reform of the military system.

But what is certain is that at least half of them are good changes.

After dealing with the issue of the military system, Yang Qi has nothing else to do in Fuxing Mansion.

Zhe Yuxun left Fuxing Wuyuan on the second day after the new military service system was established.

He was thinking about the party in his heart, so naturally he couldn't live a leisurely life in Fuxing Wuyuan.

On the other hand, Lao Yang has no intention of going back at all.

It seems that he has been idle at home for too long, and whenever he has the opportunity to teach others, he will not let him go.

Fuxing Wuyuan.

classroom.

Lao Yang forcefully deprived Yang Hong of the art of war course, and occupied the entire classroom amidst the cheers of the students.

Lao Yang is a rough man, he always likes to be straightforward when he speaks, and he doesn't care too much.

And because he manages many battles, he can always explain some strategies in the book of war through some examples on the battlefield.

When Yang Qi went to watch Lao Yang's lecture, Lao Yang was talking about a classic battle.

Battle of Yanmen Pass.

"Most of you dolls are from the territory of the two prefectures. Some of you should have heard of the Battle of Yanmen Pass, and some of you may even have seen it. Let's take the Battle of Yanmen Pass as an example.

At that time, the Liao army numbered [-].On our side, there are only [-] soldiers and tens of thousands of civilian husbands.

There is a huge disparity in strength, a difference of more than ten times.

In this case, how to fight? "

Lao Yang looked around at the students in the audience, and seeing no one answered, he clenched his fists and said firmly: "Deadly battle! But this deadly battle is not just arbitrarily confronting others head-on. , Those who meet head-to-head are fools.

The old man told you before that the art of war and magic complement each other.

Then, when we have more troops than the enemy, we must win by positive.Hit the past with dignity and smash all the enemies that stand in our way.

However, when we have fewer troops than the local area, we must surprise and win.

……

The old man fought fiercely with the enemy for several days and nights at Yanmen Pass.

has been at a disadvantage.

In this case, the old man has a general under his command, so he said.

Can you sneak attack the enemy's food and grass?

At that time, the old man thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he sent out a thousand elite soldiers to attack the enemy's food and grass camp.

……

At the end of the battle, Yang Yansi's appearance and his reckless actions were the biggest failure of the whole battle.

As a general, it is an extremely stupid thing to abandon the army and single-handedly capture the king.

......"

Lao Yang talked eloquently in the classroom.

Because Lao Yang's vision is far higher than that of the students, he can analyze all the details of the whole battle situation more thoroughly for the students.

The students were fascinated by what they heard.

There were even many students who looked at Lao Yang with admiration.

Yang Qi listened on the outside of the door, and when he heard that Lao Yang deliberately concealed Yang Si's name, he knew that Lao Yang had a sigh of relief for Yang Si in his heart.

It's just that Lao Yang always puts on the airs of an elder on weekdays, and it's difficult for ordinary people to get into his heart and listen to what he has to say.

When he heard Lao Yang criticize him for being stupid, he secretly shook his head and smiled wryly.

The problem between him and Lao Yang has a long history, like two tigers who refuse to admit defeat are pinching each other.

Yang Hong stood beside Yang Qi with a dark face, and complained: "Qilang, take good care of your father. Since he arrived at Fuxing Wuyuan, [-]% of the courses have been occupied by him."

Of course, in Yang Hong's mind, the most unforgivable thing is that Lao Yang took over his class.

Although we used to be masters and servants, we didn't bring such bullying.

You have taken all the class hours, so why do you want me, the deputy mountain chief?

Yang Qi glanced at Yang Hong with a smile, "Uncle Hong, don't you think it's good now?"

Yang Hong immediately understood what Yang Qi meant.

"You have already planned to have your father teach at the Fuxing Martial Academy?"

Yang Qi nodded without any concealment, "Yes, it's just that there has been a lack of an opportunity. This time, I can invite my father to Fuxing Wuyuan by discussing the military system. And he was moved by the atmosphere of Fuxing Wuyuan, and he is willing to take the initiative to teach Students, this is an opportunity.

Leaving my father behind, the overall teaching strength of Fuxing Wuyuan will rise a big step.

This is a good thing for you and me. "

Yang Hong pursed his lips and said, "But your father is so unreasonable, taking everyone's class. This made the atmosphere of the whole martial arts academy very chaotic."

Yang Qitiao said with a smile: "So... Uncle Hong, you should divide the students in the martial arts academy into several classes based on 50 students, and teach them separately. The quality of teaching with hundreds of people is far inferior to that of dozens of people. The teaching quality of a class is good.

And after you are divided into classes, allocate class hours.

For example, when the first class is in the Art of War class, the second class is in the military formation class, and the third class is in the confrontation class...and so on.

It's impossible for my father to teach three or four courses at once, right? "

Yang Hong's eyes lit up, "Good idea... I'll go prepare now..."

The atmosphere in the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy is very good, the teachers are willing to teach everything, and the students are also willing to be students eagerly.

In addition, Han people always have a kind of blood in their bones that is good at being a teacher.

Therefore, the future of Fuxing Wuyuan is destined to be brilliant.

Lao Yang has always been a headache for Yang Qi.

On the one hand, he was afraid that Lao Yang would go to the battlefield again, and there would be troubles; on the other hand, he was afraid that Lao Yang would be suffocated after a long time at home.

Now, Lao Yang tends to stay in Fuxing Wuyuan as an instructor, which Yang Qi is happy to see.

Fuxing Wuyuan.

East side.

There is a small courtyard where Yang Qi works temporarily.

After Yang Qi left the teacher, he returned to the study to deal with government affairs.

With the growing power under Yang Qi's command, the government affairs that Yang Qi has to deal with every day are also increasing day by day.

This includes some matters related to the fact that the merchants from the Southern Kingdom took root in Dengzhou after they withdrew from the Liao Kingdom.

Dengzhou is the territory of Song Dynasty.

It stands to reason that Yang Qi, an outlier in the Song court, would be easily strangled to death by the bigwigs of the Song court if he was doing things in Dengzhou.

Unfortunately, merchants from the Southern Kingdom entered Dengzhou without any hindrance.

It even quickly spread in Dengzhou, making a Dengzhou that was originally full of water bandits and rogues abruptly prosperous.

The Song court seemed to be happy to see the success. Not only did it not suppress it, but it also gave it a certain degree of autonomy.

For example, merchants from the Southern Kingdom can have a certain scale of guards when doing business in Dengzhou.

Among them, the smallest guard scale is ten people, and the largest guard scale is 2000 people.

And the share of these 2000 people belongs to the Nanguo Money Bank.

Since Da Song has given convenience, Yang Qi has nothing to say.

In his approval document to Wang Mingcheng, it was clearly stated that every businessman from the southern country must be equipped with fully equipped southern soldiers as guards.

Merchants, on the other hand, do not need to pay commissions at all.

All the expenses will be borne by the Southern Kingdom Court.

Yang Qi roughly calculated that as long as the merchants in the southern country are fully equipped with guards, the number of guards gathered can reach more than 400.

More than 400 people are stationed in Dengzhou, which will largely allow Nanguo to occupy absolute autonomy.

At least the local yamen did not dare to take advantage of the merchants from the Southern Kingdom.

Of course, the reason why the Song court allowed the southern merchants to be equipped with guards was also because of the fact that the southern merchants could pay a certain amount of taxes to the Song court for every transaction.

After all, what the merchants of the Southern Kingdom did could basically be regarded as trade across the three countries.

The horrific taxation of trade between countries is enough to make the Song court, which is short of money, bow its head.

When merchants from the Southern Kingdom landed in Dengzhou, the biggest trouble was the Song court.

Now that the Song Dynasty court is blocked with huge taxes, there is no need for Yang Qi to focus on the Song Dynasty court.

His eyes suddenly fell on the Liao Kingdom.

With the withdrawal of merchants from the South in large numbers, Liao's economy began to show a depressed side.

It seems that overnight, Liao's business model has returned to the previous path that relied mainly on smuggling and plundering.

At the same time, most of the goods in the Liao Kingdom began to be in shortage, and there was a trend of rapid price increases.

Such as cloth, rice, gold and silver jewelry, ironware, etc., and even the prices of books are skyrocketing.

And the upward trend seems to have no end. Everyone knows that prices are rising, but they don't know when it will end.

It is precisely because of the high prices that some Liao nobles and Liao merchants began to force them to go out to do business.

The coastline near the Liao Kingdom is no longer the same as before, where the goods are brought in one by one every day, but the fur goods are shipped out one by one.

And cross-border trade has led to a linear increase in the cost of goods.

In terms of taxes and fees alone, from the beginning, I only wanted to pay taxes to the Liao court, and now, not only have to pay taxes to the Liao court, but also pay taxes to the Song court.

Moreover, the cost of transportation is also skyrocketing.

All in all, Liao's business collapsed very badly.

Now, it is spreading rapidly like a plague.

Once this trade plague affected the entire Liao Kingdom.

Then the Liao Kingdom will definitely respond accordingly.

At that time, it will be a brutal trade war.

As long as Yang Qi can win this trade war.

Then there is only one way left for the Liao Kingdom, and that is to go south and invade the Song Dynasty.
