Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 849 Formation of Pan-King Power

"It can be seen from Wushu leading the army to the south that our army is defending on the plains of Hebei. It is difficult for our army to compete against the captive cavalry, so let's not worry about attacking. Surrender to the party to obtain excellent war horses, and the captives' good horses will be cut off. It will take less than ten years. The imperial court will be able to form a powerful cavalry army, so who would be willing to make an alliance between the North and the South at that time."

"Everyone, this is not a simple war, but a war to destroy the country. The imperial court not only wants to win Lingzhou, but also seize control of Hexi, and realize the flanking strategy against the two."

After saying this, everyone was silent for a while, what a big ambition!In less than two years, it took less than two years to take down the entire party and control Hexi. The time was indeed not long, and even too short. Some people cast suspicious glances at Wang Xiu.

Qin Hui smacked his lips, seeming uncomfortable, and asked: "Less than two years, isn't it too short? I'm afraid it's not appropriate to fight a war to destroy the country."

"It's not like the captives didn't have the idea of ​​​​the party members. Oh, they are concentrating on running the various ministries of Tatar. If the party is confused, it will also help their success. You know, those grassland barbarians are not easy to control."

It cannot but be said that Wang Xiu's judgment was reasonable. According to the military situation of the Machine Speed ​​Division, the Jurchens turned their attention to the various Tatar tribes, and had already begun to exert pressure on the tribes in the eastern part of the grassland to make the leaders of those tribes surrender, and achieved certain results.

The attitudes of several big tribes in the grassland are ambiguous. The Tatars are obviously inclined to the Jurchens, and only the Qiyan and Kelei tribes are still insisting.

However, the party members are not at ease. The Jurchens forcibly buy a large number of good horses every year, and they have suffered a lot. It is because of the strong military power of the Jurchens that they have to trade at a par or even a low price.

If the barbarians in the northern grasslands surrender to the Jurchen, they will not be stingy with the party items.There are some barbarian tribes who are obsessed with Jurchen, and they can also take advantage of the situation to bargain and instigate those tribes to exert pressure on Jurchen.

Once these tribes are taken care of by the Jurchens, the entire north will be exposed to the Jurchens, and they will have no chance to fight back. This is geopolitics, which is cruel and realistic, regardless of people's preferences.

Of course, Wang Xiu didn't think that the Jurchens really integrated the grasslands. Those resistances were always there, and the relationship between the two parties depended on the balance of power.

However, he will never give up the great opportunity, because even if there is resistance, the Jurchens will inevitably affect the grassland, until the rise of Temujin is the beginning of the real nightmare.

"The party item must be won, and the imperial court must acquire the important land in Hexi, so that it can contact the various ministries in the grassland and form a pincer attack on the Jurchens. Otherwise, the Northern Expedition that loses its frontal defense will definitely lose without victory."

Zhao Chen finally regained his energy and asked, "Two years, can it be successful?"

"Yes." Wang Xiu said decisively, her eyes full of confidence.

"To win Hexi in two years, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it." Li Gang's tone was full of excitement, as if he saw a bright future.

Everyone fell into silence again. Wang Xiu's strategic vision was recognized. Zhao Guan's family was interested and Li Gang supported him. Everyone wisely didn't investigate further, and no one mentioned Zhong Lirui's going south again. Qin Hui's face was very ugly.

Wang Xiu still recommended Wang Ang, the young minister of the Taifu, as the economic and strategic appeasement envoy.He still knows Wang Ang well, he is prudent and decent in his work, he is more aggressive than conservative, so it is very appropriate for him to restrain the generals.

Besides, with such talents as Li Changsheng, Gao Kan, Zhang Guo, and Shi Yong, he is still full of confidence.Especially Shi Yong, that is definitely a talent, years of experience in Qianwei County, dealing with affairs in a complicated environment, even Zhong Lirui is three points behind.

The greedy character has always existed, and the life is quite luxurious, but so what?If it's really a full festival, can it still be a talent?As long as you don't cross the red line and exercise restraint, you can still take it seriously.What's more, he asked Di Shiyong to stock up, and it depends on the other party's ability to go anywhere.

Take Fei Su, another talent he valued, for example, he is also a restless master with great ambitions, and he secretly accepts money from sea merchants to make friends with celebrities, and is so bold that he dares to accept money from the Wang family of Wenzhou , It was even more exaggerated than that of Shi Yong back then.

However, it might as well be smart and never do anything that is taboo by the imperial court. As long as you dare to speculate and be involved in the exchange, then wait for the thunderous tricks!
Li Gang seemed to have a different meaning, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhilong Tuge, Zhang Shao, the doctor of the Ministry of War, Zhang Jiucheng, the writer, Hu Quan and Chen Yuan, the editors of the Privy Council, Deng Su, Cheng Zhilang, Zhang Zhiyuan, Quan Wei Yu, the doctor of the Ministry of Yu, is all talented in the imperial court. At the end of the year, the military state officials are full, and they can be released."

Wang Xiu remained calm. These are the talents cultivated by Sun Fu, Li Gang, etc., and they are all famous figures in later generations. But now in his eyes, they may be really pillars of talent, but they are not pioneers, so they cannot enter his vision.

However, he is very clear about the minds of the important ministers. As the students of the two major academies continue to achieve success, not to mention those students who devote themselves to the so-called miscellaneous studies, they have gradually formed the prototype of a class, which is contaminated with his thoughts and obtained Jinshi background There are not a few students.

This is a very terrifying reality, and it is what he maintains and waits for. For this reason, he gave up his military power and went south, just waiting for this group of people to grow up.

Seeing that the nine sons of the Wang family and the fifteen masters are the core, and the students from the two major academies are the echelon, the business owners who are inextricably related to them have formed a huge interest group.It is true that Li Gang gradually eased with him, and Sun Fu and Tang Ge also faded out of the power center, but it did not affect their training of officials and the development of a new generation of checks and balances.

He is not a fool, so obvious Wang Ji's label Junjie rises, and he understands his choice back then.

A smile flickered on the corner of Wang Xiu's mouth, and he said in a loud voice: "The countries in the South China Sea are vast in distribution, Wang Hua has not yet developed, and their human nature is tough. If they don't agree, they will grab the stick. Wang Shilang is probably outnumbered by himself. Does Yuquanshan Academy have any problems?" Students who are proficient in Yi language are all first-class talents, and they can be awarded as casual followers."

It cannot be denied that there are a large number of foreign documents in Yuquanshan Academy, all of which were bought by Wang Xiu with generous taxes, and was impeached by the imperial censor for this.However, the existence of a large number of documents has indeed cultivated a group of talents, and has gradually been recognized by scholars.

Since it was an issue in the South China Sea, Zhao Chen had to muddle along, and said weakly: "That's fine, the prince will do as he sees."

Everyone can tell that Zhao Guan's family is emotional!Everyone had their own thoughts. Anyway, they were translators who went to the South China Sea. They came and went for many years without knowing their life and death, and there was no point in arguing.

"I have the audacity to recommend someone for official business, what does your Majesty think?" Wang Xiu's mouth flashed a smug look, and he finally threw out his trump card.

Zhao Chen was startled, and blurted out: "Oh, who is it?"
