Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 265 Facing Zhao Gou, Never Take a Step Back!
"It's not clear yet, but one flying army is about ten times the fighting power of the forbidden army, but the consumption of supplies must be lower than that of ten forbidden troops. As for how much lower, it still depends on the training effect."

Zhao Huan was very sure about the fighting power of the Fei Army. After all, the template he was referring to was the fiercest army in this land.

A military template that has created countless brilliance despite the hard work and tight clothing.

"30 flying troops, equivalent to 55 troops of the forbidden army. In addition to the [-] Jiesheng army in the North, there are [-] Yongding troops, about [-] Qinfeng troops, and [-] Yongxing troops from the Yang family in Guanzhong. It is equivalent to [-] forbidden troops, and it is indeed very difficult to raise." Li Gang nodded and said.

Zhao Huan stepped down from the front of the imperial court and shouted loudly: "Zhao Duzhi, bring me a big table."

"I have calculated in detail that the total number of forbidden troops before was about 70. The consumption of these 70 forbidden troops has always accounted for [-]% to [-]% of the treasury expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Huan said, taking out a booklet, on which he calculation.

Li Gang suddenly pointed to the numbers on the booklet and asked, "What is this?"

"I learned... I learned the numbers of Leye people. They are good at calculating accounts. I have learned their arithmetic." Zhao Huan wiped off a cold sweat. The simplified version of the numbers is also a driving progress for Da Song.

Zhao Huan once exchanged "Tongwen Suanzhi" for Liu Yi, which can be regarded as laying an ambush in advance, but unexpectedly Li Gang asked suddenly.

"I've seen it at Mr. Liu's place, and I've been wanting to ask about it. Since I'm studying mathematics from Leye people, I'll go and have a look at it some other day. There are too many accounts in Jixing. Hundreds of doctors in mathematics are busy with their work. It will take more than a month to calculate Da Song's accounts." Li Gang nodded.

"The Great Song Dynasty can't afford 25 frontier troops, [-] flying troops, and [-] elite troops." Zhao Huan said sadly.

The Song Dynasty is actually very good. If it weren't for Zhao Gou's possibility of rebellion in the south, he would still be able to support the [-] flying troops and [-] elites by tightening his belt.

But the bad thing is that the big taxpayers in Jiangnan are now unstable.

Li Gang understood, and said: "The official, I have something to say."

"The frontier defense of the Great Song Dynasty is tense, and the frontier army, Yongding Army, Jiesheng Army, Qinfeng Army, and Yongxing Army, 25 people, must be guaranteed. But the Imperial Army directly under the court also needs to be guaranteed. How about this, the [-] flying troops are training, Temporarily defend Bianjing."

Zhao Huan nodded, now it is three to one, and they all agree to raise the flying army, not the elite.

"Then, raise another [-] elites and place them outside Bianjing City." Li Gang said suddenly.

kindness?
"The finances of the Great Song Dynasty can't bear it. I know it well." Zhao Huan shook his head and said, he had figured it out. With the finances of the Great Song Dynasty, he couldn't afford to support so many troops.

Li Gang bowed his head and said: "Actually, the reform of the commercial tax system has been carried out very thoroughly. The commercial tax has changed from [-] out of [-] to [-] out of [-]."

"Officials, as long as the business tax system is reformed, they will be gone. Even if Jiangnan is not counted, the treasury of the Song Dynasty this year will be much higher than usual."

Zhao Huan's eyes lit up!That's right, how could I forget about the issue of business tax reform.

The commercial tax in the north is not high, and there are more than 3000 million guan, and the Liangchuan, Huaihe and other places have contributed more than 3000 million guan.

However, at least [-]% of the business tax was taken away by Yiyuanwai, squires, pumai, landlords, and gangs.

Eliminate middlemen and earn the difference yourself!
This year's tax figures are definitely better than usual.

Not to mention directly exceeding ten times, as far as the Northland roads are concerned, there are tens of millions of income, so you can still look forward to it a little bit.

But Zhao Huan quickly thought of another point of the problem, which was food.

"With money alone, without food, I can't support an army." Zhao Huan thought of his first realization, which is to put money and food in the key position.

"Where there is money, there is food. There is too much food in the south of the Yangtze River, and we can't eat it. Naturally, we must find a way to sell it to the north." Li Gang said.

Zhao Huan's tone suddenly dropped, and he asked, "What if Zhao Gou sold grain to the Jin people? What about the Cui family? Baobuqi is taking advantage of the opportunity to transport grain to Pingzhou to transport grain to the Jin people. "

As soon as Zhao Huan finished speaking, the entire court was silent, the kind of silence that could be heard when a needle is dropped.

Zhang Shuye felt his blood surge, his face became more and more red, he suddenly shouted: "Officials! I would like to lead [-] troops and go straight to Lin'an! Find Zhao Gou! Cut his body into thousands of pieces! "

Zhao Huan turned his head and asked, "What if Zhao Gou ran away? How about going to the sea? Floating on the Yangtze River with a boat, going to the sea, or even to Ryukyu?"

Zhang Shuye's hands were shaking, and finally turned into a sigh.

It's not that Zhao Huan was aimless, and it's not that Zhao Gou didn't go to sea. In the normal historical line, he was searched by Wanyan Zongbi and almost caught.

If Yue Fei hadn't regained Jiankang and rebuilt the defense of the Yangtze River, would there be another story about the Southern Song Dynasty?

The hall became silent again. Some people rebelled, but the officials were unwilling to mobilize frontier troops to suppress the rebellion because the border was not stable.

King Qin, who led [-] Qinfeng troops in Zhongshi, had actually exposed Longyou Duhufu to Tubo's lips. If it weren't for the complete system of the Western Army's military fortress, maybe the three counties of Qingtang would now have the surname of Tubo.

who?No one can adjust.

Li Gang took a deep breath and said: "Officials, I feel that we have overestimated the combat power of King Kang's subordinates. I don't underestimate the enemy. I just think they may not be able to take Bianjing. Give them 40 people, and the minister will also Confidence can keep Bianjing."

"The fighting power of the imperial army is really useless. The landlord's private soldiers may not be so strong."

Only then did Zhao Huan remember that Li Gang still had the job of the Four Wall Guardian Envoy hanging on him.

"Have you ever taken it seriously?" Zhao Huan stared at Li Gang and said seriously.

"The minister is willing to issue a military order. He, Zhao Gou, is absolutely impossible to win Bianjing! Millions of soldiers and civilians in Bianjing are united, so what is a single Zhao Gou! In the last battle of Kaifeng, the people of Bianjing have shown their bravery .”

"The government abolished the law of the ancestors, and did not exile the people of Bianjing. They are grateful to the people of Bianjing, and they will never let the officials down."

"The people of Bianjing can use it." Li Gang replied equally seriously.

Zhao Huan nodded, which made sense.

[Reminder of historical events: In the second battle of Kaifeng, Wanyan Zonghan Wanyan Zongwang 17 elite soldiers besieged the city, and there were hundreds of thousands of auxiliary troops such as the signing army, Han'er, and Bohai people. Did not win Bianjing.If Song Qinzong hadn't gone out of the city to negotiate a peace, the two emperors would not have become captives.It is still unknown who will win the deer. 】

Vast ocean of the people's war!

Looking at the system prompts, Zhao Huan finally understood what war was like a vast ocean.

"If Zhao Gou leads troops to attack Bianjing, then Li Dazai will rely on you. I don't plan to run away, the city is broken, I was killed by him, and I don't blame you."

"Facing Zhao Gou, I will never take a step back."

Bianjing is now well-deserved cultural center, military center, and economic center, extending in all directions and with well-developed water transportation.

If Bianjing is lost, no matter where he goes, the result will be the same.

If Zhao Gou comes, the people's hearts and minds that Li Gang said will be activated.

If Zhao Gou doesn't come, then wash your neck and wait for me to cut it off!
"I decided to train the flying army!" Zhao Huan said loudly.

Zhao Ying moved the big table into the Hall of Wende, and a few court ladies and eunuchs behind them moved the stools and said with plates, "Come on!"

"Officials, the old minister learned a new dish today. It's called the eggplant box. It's ready. All the court officials came hungry. Seeing that it's time for dinner, the old minister made his own proposals. I also cooked the meals for the senior officials." Zhao Ying said with a smile, and asked the eunuchs and maids to arrange the meals.

Zhao Huan's face was full of black lines. He asked Zhao Ying to move the table to put the map and study together how to dispatch troops.

How did he, Zhao Ying, understand being a dinner treat?
But it's almost time to talk about business, Zhao Huan rubbed his belly and said, "Come, let's serve."

　Eggplant box bean paste stuffing.It's delicious.
