Chongzheng Hall.

Zhao Ji was almost dying of fear!

Not only is he anxious for himself, but he is also anxious for Yelu Yanxi and Daliao!

This kindness was not only unexpected by Zhao Ji a year ago, but even Zhao Ji's ancestors would not have thought that he had such an "unworthy descendant".

"You guys, tell me what should I do?"

Yang Jian had already told the story of Wu Haogu's conquest of Goryeo, meeting Wanyan, setting a promise on the sea, and persuading the Jurchen tribe alliance and the two Goryeo in the north and south to surrender to the Song Dynasty. After that, he was sent back to listen to the news.

In the hall, Zhao Ji, who was so worried that he was almost crying, asked questions repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Su Chi, the son of Su Che, was the first to go out to report. "The Liao Kingdom is a big country after all, with a vast territory and a million troops. His master, Yelu Yanxi, is good at using troops, and will not be defeated so easily."

Yelu Yanxi was good at using troops, but it was recognized that Zhao Ji and his gang of scholars and bureaucrats agreed that Yelu Yanxi could fight.

But Yelu Yanxi could probably be unable to withstand the militia of Wu Haogu, the Wanyan family's Gundam, the ancestor of Temujin, the Nestorians of the Kelie tribe, and the Tianli Knights of Hexi, right?

"As long as Yelu Yanxi is not defeated, Youzhou, Hexi, Zubu and Menggu, the Jurchens will not be able to draw strength to deal with the court." Su Chi said, "So the court still has time to rectify its defense and deal with future disasters."

Zhao Ji felt a little relieved, and then turned his attention to Wu Juhou, the official in charge of the Privy Council. Wu Juhou reported: "Your Majesty, I think that in order to rectify defense, I must start with the Kaifeng Imperial Army, withdraw the Imperial Army, and train the new army. If there can be 200,000 new troops stationed around the capital, the capital can be protected without any worries, and the world can be protected without any worries."

"Retreat the Imperial Army," Zhao Ji frowned, "Practice the new army...there are quite a few soldiers gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture now, but who can train me so many soldiers?"

There are really few military training talents available in Zhao Ji. Wu Haogu, Zhang Yuan became a warlord, and Han Xiaozhou was also ordered to become a warlord. Tong Guan had few key parts and could not be involved in military affairs in the capital. Wang Bing, Yang Keshi, and Yang Kebi had to support him in front of the army.

"I recommend that you serve Zong Ze, the Zhending Mansion." Wu Ju said kindly.

Zhending Prefecture has given to Zhaoyi Army, but Zhaoyi Army does not have such blatant separatism as Hexi, and officials of the level of Zhending Prefecture dare not appoint themselves, but only make recommendations and request approval from the court. Moreover, the recommended officials may not be the head of Zhaoyi Army, and there are also people from the court. Zong Ze is a person from the court and a dignified civil servant.

Wu Ju said kindly: "Although Zong Ze is a civil servant, he assisted Han Xiaozhou in training troops and fighting, which was quite hard (there was no credit, because he had never won a battle), and he was very capable and could be entrusted with important tasks."

"Use civil servants to train soldiers?" Zhao Ji was a little confused.

The Song Dynasty has always had different paths of civil and military affairs. Can civil officials train troops be able to do it?

"Do you want him to be converted into a military official? Is it not convenient for civil servants to train soldiers?" Zhao Ji asked.

Wu Ju said kindly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yuan, and Han Xiaozhou are both civil servants. Although Wu is known as military officers in ancient times, he is not a military servant. He is born in a businessman, good at painting, proficient in Confucianism, and is known as a great scholar, but he is also a civil servant."

Zhao Ji frowned. It turned out that he misunderstood the military officer from his family... Wu Haogu is not a real military officer! He is just a scholar who was granted military tutoring. Zhang Yuan and Han Xiaozhou are both civil servants! However, Gao Qiu, who was killed, is the real military officer!

It seems that civil officials may not be more reliable than military officials!

"How can the family rules of our ancestors be abolished?" Zhao Ji said, "Zong Ze can serve as the military censor, and he can also find more civil servants who are in charge of military affairs to serve as generals and generals. As for training, it still depends on military officers... Can anyone choose to recommend it?"

Wu Juhou was stunned. He had no counterproductive effect on the evidence that civil servants could train troops that he had proposed now, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Mr. Zhong." Su Chi was the first to report. "Mr. Zhong is a long-time general. He has presided over the training of the new army in Shaanxi and has been quite effective."

"Zhong Shidao..." Zhao Ji nodded, "Is this person possible. Is there anyone else?"

Cai Jing reported: "I recommend Yao Gu, who is also a long-time general of the Western Army and has also taken charge of the new army."

The Yao family of Sanyuan and the Jingzhao family of Jingzhao are both large hills among the generals of the Western Army. If you move these two mountains together, and with Zong Ze as the supervisor of the army, the new army of Jingji should be able to ensure that there is no danger.

"Your Majesty," Cai Jing continued, "I think that the peace talks with the Liao Kingdom should also begin as soon as possible. Perhaps the Liao Kingdom does not know that the Jurchens and Youzhou have colluded with each other, so we should let them know that they are prepared for it. In addition, if the Jurchens and the North and South Goryeo want to surrender to the court, how should we deal with this matter? Please let Your Majesty make it clear."

Zhao Ji's brows frowned again, and he came to surrender. How should he deal with this? No?

"Cai Qing, can you have a good idea?" Zhao Ji had no idea and simply asked Cai Jing.

"Your Majesty, the court should not recognize the two Goryeo." Cai Jing still had a solution, "It is better to accept the surrender of Nan Goryeo and reject the North Goryeo.

Because Nan Goryeo is controlled by Youzhou and the court does not accept it, Nan Goryeo will surrender to Youzhou. This will undoubtedly elevate the status of Youzhou.

Bei Goryeo was controlled by the Jurchens. Once Bei Goryeo is nominally attached, the court will indirectly establish a relationship with the Jurchens. This may cause misunderstandings from the Liao Kingdom."

"How do you deal with the birth of Jurchens?"

"You can drag it out," said Cai Jing. "If you refuse to give birth to Jurchen directly, it will push the Jurchen to Youzhou... If you agree to give birth to Jurchen, it will be a bad thing that will cause war in Hedong again. It's better to drag it out and wait for the change and then talk about the situation."

"What excuse to delay?"

Cai Jing thought for a while and said, "Let's delay the time on the grounds of making the road blocked. If the envoy of a Jurchen comes, the court may as well deal with it and give it some money and property. Then send envoys to visit and discuss the matter of complacent and annual gifts. As long as the mission that was returned to the visit refuses to leave the country on the grounds of the road blocking the road blocking it. The matter can be delayed for a while."

"That's all." Zhao Ji sighed and paused again, "So who can use Liao?"

Cai Jing reported: "Your Majesty, I recommend Wu Haowen as the official envoy."

Wu Haowen's current dispatch is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Taichang Temple is one of the nine temples. Although it is a Qingshui Yamen who manages rituals and music, it has a high status and is the leader of the nine temples. Its position is purely a magnificent and noble position. For civil officials who are striving to climb up, a Taichang Temple official is still very good at resumes. However, Wu Haowen is a vague life in Taichang Temple. The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is not a small official, and he can be a Hanlin scholar, a Secretariat of the Secretariat, and a six-department minister. But can these confidential positions be given to Wu Haowen? Even the local magistrate, the prefect cannot give it to him. So Wu Haowen is just waiting to die now. Oh, and he may be waiting to be a prince. Anyway, there is no future in the officialdom.

However, Wu Haowen is no longer popular in the officialdom, which does not mean that Zhao Ji has a bad relationship with him. He and his younger brother Wu Haode are still regular guests of Qionglin Palace and Yanfu Palace. Not long ago, Zhao Ji also gave Wu Haowen a title in the name of rewarding the brothers Wu Haogu of King Yan. Wu Haode was the founding county duke. He also gave 1,500 households to the founding county dukes, and gave them the so-called real title to the county dukes of the county dukes, which is actually a false title, but a salary of tens of cents and a small amount of money. However, the county dukes of the county dukes are real! The real estate in Kaifeng Prefecture is still a big house. Moreover, the title of the county dukes of other surnames is particularly courteous and rewarded.

Cai Jing continued: "Wu Haowen is the brother of King Yan. When he was sent to Liao Kingdom, it can be shown that the relationship between the court and King Yan is still very close. Wu Haowen proposed the request to redeem Taiyuan, Daizhou, Xinzhou and other places with 10 million yuan, and the success may be greater than others."

In this war, the Liao army never defeated the army of the Song Dynasty court, but failed to defeat the army of Youzhou, and they were defeated every time!

If the redemption of Hedong's lost land for 10 million yuan means Youzhou, Yelu Yanxi would have to think about it carefully.

Zhao Ji nodded, "Okay! That's it." He paused, "It's just that 10 million pieces are not a decimal. Can the court take it out?"

Cai Jing said: "Please rest assured that the issuance of money citations is progressing smoothly at present. There is no problem with Kaifeng Prefecture. Just wait for Ji Yi and Su Shi who returned to Beijing to report their work to come to the North Korea, and then they can discuss a way to implement it in the market. As long as the money citations can be issued, 10 million pieces are just a small amount."

Although there is a lesson from Wu Haogu, the special system of Hailu Maritime Control and Preparation Department has not been abolished.

The reason is very simple, because there is Youzhou and Wu Haogu! If the court does not delegate power, the Hailu Maritime Control Department will soon lose the power to compete with Youzhou at sea. If Wu Haogu has no opponent at sea, he can naturally control the entire East and South Ocean sea power from the Sanfoqi Strait to the sea outside Tianjin Prefecture. How much tax will Youzhou have to bear in a year? What the court can suppress Youzhou now is nothing more than huge financial resources. If Youzhou's financial resources can compete with the court, it is hard to say whether the Song Dynasty will become the Wuzhou world.

Even if Zhao Ji cannot understand, how could Cai Jing be so confused? Therefore, the interests of the sea route now have to rely on the Hailu Maritime Control Department to compete for it.

But the court could not fully believe Ji Yi, and it was hard to guarantee that he was not the second Wu Haogu? Therefore, supporting Su Shi and restraining Ji Yi was the inevitable choice.

Now Su Shi controls the trade on the coast of Fujian, while Ji Yi controls the trade on the coast of Jingdong, Huainan and Zhejiang. The coast of Guangdong has not been distributed yet and is temporarily in charge of the eunuchs sent by the palace. If Su Shi can give a satisfactory answer this time, then the Guangzhou Maritime Warehouse Department can merge with the Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse Department to establish a unified Fujian-Guangzhou Maritime Warehouse Department.

At that time, the situation of Wu Haogu, Ji Yi and Su Shi's balance of power will appear in the Southeast Sea. It will definitely be very beneficial to the court!
