I am Da Song

Chapter 221 If you want to fight, then fight

Under Zhao Huan's restructuring, the memorials submitted by various places will be collected in the Shangshu Province when they enter the capital, and then notified to the emperor by the Shangshu Province.

If Zhao Huan is in a good mood, he will give an immediate reply.

This country is the country of Emperor Zhao, and his decision is the final decision.He wants to share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, who can help him handle the government affairs.If he doesn't want to use scholar-bureaucrats, scholar-bureaucrats don't even have room to intervene.

But considering that he and future emperors may not be hardworking people.

Therefore, there is another way of operating this process, and Zhao Huan signaled Shang Shuxing to forward the letter.Officials of the Shangshu Province will divide the Zhazi from various places into two categories, civil and military, and deliver them to the Zhengshitang and the Privy Council respectively.

That is to say, the emperor handed over the auxiliary power to these two departments. They pasted a note on the letter, wrote their opinions on the approval, and then handed it back to the Shang Palace Bureau in the 24th Bureau of the Sixth Bureau.

The female officials will show Zhao Huan the plan drafted by the prime ministers.

If Zhao Huan agrees, the female officials will hold a pen and copy the contents of the note on the memorial as the emperor's official reply.Then it was stamped with the great seal of uploading the jade seal of the country, which officially became a national decree.

If Zhao Huan disagrees, he will return it to the Political Affairs Hall or the Privy Council.

If Zhao Huan was lazy, he wouldn't even want to look at it.The female officials directly copied and affixed their seals, and the opinions of the prime ministers became the official national policy.

But in any case, when facing the whole world, the prime minister's approval is worthless.Without the transcription of the emperor's Zhubi, none of their orders could be issued.

Only what the emperor wrote in the memorial is the final decision of the court.Even if the content copied by the female officials is exactly the same as that written by the prime minister, word for word.Its meaning is also different, and the decision-making power is firmly in the hands of the emperor.

Therefore, regardless of local government affairs or front-line military information conveying to the capital, Zhao Huan is definitely the few people who got the news the fastest.

Zhao Huan frowned slightly when he heard the emergency military report from the front line of [-] miles, and said, "Why is there an emergency military situation at this time of year? What happened?"

"The Zong envoy hastened eight hundred miles, the Yanyun war resumed, and the Jin army raised 20 troops and went south."

Sun Fu said fiercely, "Impossible. It's spring now, and the grassland horses are weak, and the army's combat power is greatly reduced. Since ancient times, Hulu's troops in spring have often been defeated. The commander of the Jin army is not a person who does not know how to fight. In such a season, troops are sent on a large scale, and 20 troops are sent.”

"Go and invite the prime minister and the prime minister over here," Zhao Huan said.

The Zhengshitang and the Privy Council are the two prefectures of the East and the West. They are on the east and west sides of the Wende Hall. The two prime ministers arrived in the hall almost at the same time.

The two saluted at the same time and said: "I pay my respects to the official family, and I wish you all blessings."

"No courtesy, give the prime minister a seat."

After the two sat down, Zhao Huan introduced: "It is said that the envoy of Yan Yunzong came eight hundred miles to rush, and the Jin army sent 20 troops to the south."

Right Prime Minister Mei Zhili's reaction was almost exactly the same as that of Sun Fu, saying: "Could it be that the Zong envoy made a mistake? How could the Jin army move south at this time of year?"

"What do you think of the privy minister?" Zhao Huan looked at Zhang Shuye and asked, the privy envoy was the emperor's professional military adviser, and his opinion basically determined Zhao Huan's perception of the military situation.

So Zhang Shuye thought carefully for a moment, and said: "I think this is a bluff by the Jin army. I assert that a peace negotiation between the two countries is just around the corner."

Hearing this, Zhao Huan's eyes lit up, feeling that Zhang Shuye's thinking was very correct.

Except for Wan Yangou, no one would negotiate peace without a bottom line.

Even the headmaster knew that before the negotiation, he would do his best to fight the Japanese invaders and promote peace through war.The Battle of Songhu was the most tragic battle he fought in the international mediation.

The classic saying, don't try to get what you can't get on the battlefield at the negotiating table.

In order to add an advantage to the negotiation, the military must open up the situation on the battlefield, or at least let the opponent form a miscalculation.

Zhao Huan asked: "Private Minister thinks this is because the Jin army expects to gain an advantage on the battlefield, and then prompt us to negotiate peace with it?"

Zhang Shuye nodded solemnly, and said: "The Jin army has been rectifying its establishment and morale since last year. The crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yan Zongpan, has been sitting in Zhuozhou, personally motivating the soldiers and mobilizing their troops. It is impossible for the Jin Dynasty to gather so many troops in Zhuozhou. Be passive defensive all the time."

"He went south this time because he wanted to use a strategic offensive to show that he still has a strategic offensive advantage. If he can take advantage of the situation and recover Yizhou, it will further increase his negotiation advantage."

"The Jurchens mainly focus on fishing and hunting. Sending troops in spring and summer has little impact on them, but the people of other tribes will be affected. They are sure that our dynasty will not want to go to war during spring plowing."

"Then they made the wrong idea!" Zhao Huan clenched his fists and stood up against the table, saying, "I will never let them handle it. Could it be that the Jin people will not invade my dynasty if I avoid the war blindly? Pass my imperial edict Order, immediately mobilize the main force to help Yanyun. Since the Jin army wants to fight, then I will accompany it to the end. This battle will completely defeat the main force of the Jin army, so that Jurchen will no longer dare to go south and herd horses!"

Zhang Shuye got up immediately, and said solemnly: "I have received orders, and I will dispatch troops and generals to attack the Jin army head-on."

The strategic decision was made, and the war meeting on Yanyun land was held immediately.

The Song Dynasty experienced two national disasters and another rebellion, and the country was at a time when its military strength was strong.

Strong troops are stationed in various places, and the temples are filled with good generals.

At the military conference held by the Privy Council, all the well-known generals who have experienced battles in the world believed that the Golden Army claimed to be 20, but in fact it might not even be [-].

After all, Cao Cao has 10,000+ people, and he dares to claim 80.

The 5 Sun Liu coalition army dared to face it head-on, and they won a complete victory.

Claiming to have no effect at all, Da Song had previously claimed to have a million forbidden troops, but they collapsed at the touch of a finger.

How many elite soldiers and generals there are really determines the combat effectiveness of an army.

Therefore, although the Privy Council agreed that the number of the Golden Army could not exceed [-], it paid more attention to this battle than the last one.

The last time Wanyan Zongpan brought 10 people over, they were all mobs who were defeated head-on by Liu Kai and Wu Jie and were defeated in all directions.

But this time, the Jin Army is likely to send a large number of Jurchen elites.

First of all, when troops are sent out in this season, the Jurchens can mobilize the greatest military power.

"In spring and March, if the mountains and forests do not have an ax (jin), they will become the length of vegetation; in summer and March, if the rivers and lakes do not enter the net, they will become the length of a fish's claw."

Now it is the fishing and hunting moratorium period, and the Jurchens are breeding at home.

The mobilization of the Jurchens has the least impact on production than the mobilization of other nationalities' armies.

Secondly, this time when the Jurchens went south, they made up their minds to gain an advantage, and they would not make do with the vassals. They must fully display the Jurchens' strong military style before the negotiation, so that the Southern Dynasty can see the Jurchens' bravery and combat skills, so as to pave the way for the final negotiation. Establish an advantage.
