Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 838 Zhao Donald Huan

Zhao Ying finally arranged the conference room of the Wende Hall in the Song Dynasty Imperial City during the Chinese New Year this year. Taking advantage of the Song Xiumu, in the past, the emperor sat on the platform and the ministers sat below. In the Chang Dynasty, it will cease to exist.

Of course, Zhao Huan still had to sit on the platform at the court meeting, after all, he was His Majesty at that time, not an official.

Li Gang sat awkwardly in front of the circular conference table, looking at the sulking emperor sitting on the first big chair, he was in a trance for a while, and this trance made him restless.

Sitting opposite the circular table were generals such as Yue Fei, Wang Tien, Zhang Xian, Zhang Shuye, and Yao Youzhong.On the left are Li Gang, Sun Bo, Li Ruoshui, Li Mixun, Song Shiqing, Zhang Sanwei and other civil servants.

Li Gang could clearly sense the restlessness of the courtiers. Even Yue Fei, the Jiedu envoy in charge of a war zone, sat on a chair with only half his buttocks.

Zhao Ying suddenly brought another chair over, and Li Qingzhao led Zhao Chen in from outside the palace.

Zhao Chen sat beside the emperor, while Li Qingzhao sat at the end of the civil servants.

"Chen'er has turned [-] years old, and he will have a meeting with us after today...Chang Chao. Zhao Ying, go and move another stool." Zhao Huan put down the wooden clip in his hand and said to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying asked confusedly: "Officials, no one wants to come."

"You don't sit down." Zhao Huan was in a bad mood, and his tone was naturally bad.But Zhao Ying kowtowed suddenly, moved a stool and sat in the corner.

Zhao Huan knocked on the table, so that the ministers who were still wondering about this regular court finally came to their senses, he opened the wooden clip in his hand and said: "Everyone is on annual leave, I suddenly called you together today , just to ask everyone’s opinion, everyone has a wooden clip in their hands.”

Li Gang frowned after reading it. Han Shizhong went hunting and brought back the hijacked supplies from Song Dynasty. This was originally a good thing, but the confession of Tatar leader Uge's son really cast shadows in Li Gang's heart.

Zhao Huan said calmly: "Sanctioning the tribes in Mobei, or even stopping the rescue, we Song people stranded in Mobei will be killed by them. This is still Song people. It turns out that the life of the Han children in the northern border will only be worse. If we don’t sanction them, they will think that I can be bullied by Da Song, and I will make an inch of it.”

The officials looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak. They all knew that the official was not a deep-minded person, and his likes and dislikes were written on his face. However, the expression of neither happy nor sad now just shows that the official has already Moved really angry.

When the emperor was angry, he lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles. Someone must pay the price for this.

The entire Wende Hall was quiet, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

"Officials, there is enough grain and grass. The grain in Hetao can make up for the deficit in Jinghu Lake. If we collect grain in Hetao, it will definitely be enough." Li Mixun said suddenly.

Li Gang nodded and said: "There is still a lot of money in the national treasury. If you are tighter, it will last for more than two years. It should be enough."

Yue Fei looked left and right, bowed his head and said, "If there is a war, you must take the lead."

Zhao Huan shook his head, and said in a daze: "What about the craftsmen, merchants, and students who are stranded in the various tribes in Mobei? What should I do? Do I want to tell their families that this may be life? happened?"

Wende Palace fell silent again.

Li Gang leaned on the back of his chair and said: "After we took Liaodong, we still haven't negotiated peace with the Kingdom of Jin. Song Dynasty has repeatedly used force in these years, and Jin Guo, Xixia, Can Liao, and Goryeo have all made moves."

"The Jin people have a wide range of activities on Shangjing Road. They link up with the Khitan old nobles and create turmoil. Even if there are [-] soldiers in Zhenzhou and Jingbian City, they still cannot be driven out."

"If the 32 tribes of Mobei, the Tatar tribe, the Jin people, and the Khitan and Chak tribes are really united."

Li Gang didn't finish his sentence. He believed that the officials had already thought of what would happen if the Tatars united with the Kret.

Zhao Huan took a deep breath, looked at Li Gang and asked, "I really don't understand why the Jin people want to attack the Kelie tribe! Why didn't the Kelie tribe ask me for help? They refused my rescue and chose to go alone What about facing the Jinren?"

Li Gang pointed to the Kanyu map that the official held out his hand and said, "Let's bet on the luck of the country."

"Although the tribes in Mobei regard Luhan as Khan, their renunciation is like a loose sand. The Jin people go north, and the loose rule of the Kelei tribe is a disaster. It is also an opportunity. Whether it is the Jin people or the Liao people, it is their suzerain now. The weakest time. Even if they lose, they just need to rely on the Jinren."

"If you win, you really win, and if you lose, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Huan nodded. After all, the Kelie Ministry is not a subsidiary state of Song Dynasty, and they have the right to choose to stand.

"I have an idea. When the Jin people attacked Mobei, can we participate?" Zhao Huan asked tentatively.

Yue Fei stood up, walked to Kanyu map and said: "Officials, the milk tea of ​​the Tatars cannot be drunk. They make a living by cheating, cunning, and plundering. , you can go out from Linhuang City and destroy the Tatar tribe!"

"Taking the Great Xianbei Mountain of the Tatar tribe as the line, when the Jin people won the victory and returned to the court, we cut it down at the middle, and the head and the tail could not look at each other, and the alliance was immediately broken."

Zhao Huan nodded, this idea is quite good.Zhao Huan looked around at the general's side with a consulting look, and then at the civil servant, and everyone seemed to have no objection.

Zhao Huan clapped his hands and said, "That's it for the time being. Li Shangshu must cooperate with the Dazai to ensure that the front line has sufficient food and grass. The front line is too long. If someone else said so, I would never dare to agree."

Zhao Huan glanced at Yue Fei, this kind of tactics is very risky, it sounds good, cut off at the waist, in other words, it is the enemy from the front and back, thanks to the Hejian Army is an elite division, otherwise Zhao Huan really dare not agree to this risky approach.

This was another bitter battle, but Zhao Huan also shook his head seeing Yue Fei's slightly expectant eyes, such a long battle line, food supply, after all, is a big problem.

"If we decide to do this, will Klein's trade letter of credit for this year be given to him? They really are a bunch of scoundrels, and our merchants in the Song Dynasty will suffer for nothing." Zhao Huan still shook his head helplessly, war is the last resort, and the most effective means.

It hurts, so next time they will naturally dare not.

But this would have to wrong the merchants of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Huan could only tell them that this may be life, and this kind of thing happens often.

"Then let's do this for the time being..." Zhao Huan was halfway through speaking, then turned his head, looked at Kanyu map, and suddenly had an idea.

　Thanks to "another novice" for the reward, thank you for your support.
