Although Old Man Murong only proposed one policy, it was the one that he had just made the final move!

The eight strategies before Wu Haogu could create an opportunity for a sudden attack, and it could completely take advantage of the Liao people's lack of preparation to blitz into Yanjing.

Although Yanjing is a strong city, there is no way for Wu Haogu.

First of all, he has now drawn half of Yanjing City. As long as he spends a few more years, he can completely draw Yanjing City. Then he will copy a Yanjing City at a ratio of 1:1, and let the assault troops conduct repeated training in the copied Yanjing City...

Secondly, Wu Haogu could also use the Lighthouse City to infiltrate the wealthy families of Yanyun, bribe the generals of the guards in Yanjing City, and let them turn against each other in front of the formation. Through contact with Zhong Ge'er (he was originally an officer of the guards of the Han army in Liao), Wu Haogu already knew that it was completely reliable to bribe the generals of the Han army in Liao, because those Han generals were basically the sons of the Yanyun clan and were all "poor officials". With Zhong Ge'er's way, he would spare no expense to make a few loyal and righteous people who were determined to be loyal and righteous in the Song Dynasty.

"Okay! That's great!" Wu Haogu slapped happily, "This is "The Nine Stories of Pingyan"! With these Nine Stories, Yan Yun will be restored, and the Great Liao will be destroyed. Both sir and I can achieve unparalleled achievements!"

Not only can you make contributions, but you can also avoid the shame of Jingkang.

If the Song army adopts the lightning raid tactic and captures Yanjing City in one fell swoop before the Liao army reacts, the Yanyun wealthy family will definitely be shocked and all will turn to the Song Dynasty. With these Yanyun local snakes, the Song Dynasty will be able to fight fortresses on the Yanshan Mountains.

Moreover, there will be the Suzhou Anfu army ruled by Ma Zhi and inserted into Liaodong... There is a strong wall in front and a sharp edge behind it. In this case, the Jurchens may not dare to start a war, and they are content with 500,000 yuan in their monies. It won't take long before they will be useless like the Khitans.

But unlike the cheerful Wu Haogu, Old Man Murong's brows frowned, and became tighter and tighter.

"What?" Wu Haogu also discovered Murong Wangyou's expression, "Mr. Murong, you are..."

"Dalang," Old Man Murong suddenly looked at Wu Haogu with an extremely solemn look, "Do you really think a lighthouse city can be of such great use?"

"Of course," Wuhao Ancient Road, "This is not an ordinary city, but a..."

What is a house?

Wu Haogu suddenly realized that something was wrong. The prototype of this lighthouse city seemed to be the most noble Republic of Venice in history that caused countless storms in the Mediterranean Sea!

Although Lighthouse City cannot be called "Republic", its nature is similar. It is not a traditional Song Dynasty city dominated by the feudal bureaucracy, but an autonomous city. Oh, it should be a free city dominated by a vicious bourgeoisie like Wu Haogu!

If Lighthouse City can really play a decisive role in the war against the Northern Expedition to the Liao Dynasty, it means that Wu Haogu's operation was very successful. Lighthouse City can attract countless funds, talents, and labor, and can raise a large amount of food and supplies in a very short time. It can have tens of thousands to 100,000 slaves, may also have more citizens, and will have powerful maritime forces to wait for dispatch. Most of them will also have their own pillar industries... In fact, Wu Haogu has long been thinking about several industries that can make a lot of money, and now it is just right to use it to Lighthouse City to develop.

Moreover, Lighthouse City will develop into the core and leader of the Northeast Asia maritime trade circle due to its special geographical location and flexible policies. It is almost the same as the former status of the Venetian Republic in history.

Such a city, such a free and powerful city, is it a beacon of feudalism in the Song Dynasty or a ghost of capitalism in the Song Dynasty?

Of course, Wu Haogu’s current idea is likely to be just a dream, but if he succeeds and Lighthouse City succeeds, will this city become another major concern of the Song Empire?

The efficiency of capitalist free cities must be far greater than that of the Song Dynasty under the rule of feudal bureaucracy.

In fact, the Song Dynasty's efficiency was very low. The Song Dynasty was troubled by foreign troubles for three hundred years, and there was no peace from the founding of the country to the destruction of the country. But when did the imperial court train troops?

It was obvious that he could fight against the Liao Dynasty through training troops, but the Song Dynasty chose to go back and forth to the Yellow River!

If the military training was abolished because of fear that someone would practice the unique skills of a yellow robe, what about Ma Zheng of the Song Dynasty? What about the weapons? Isn’t it the same thing?

What will happen if such efficiency encounters capitalism, which is known for its efficiency?

In addition, will the Song Dynasty begin to evolve into the primary stage of capitalism under the influence of Lighthouse City?

Capitalism! Far from the storm! Now the people of the Song Dynasty are in dire straits...

But if not, is there any other way to save Jing Kang Tianqing?

Wu Haogu thought about it and asked, "Mr. Murong, if there was no Lighthouse City, do you think there is another way for the Song Dynasty to restore Yanyun?"

"This..." Old Man Murong stroked his beard and said, "Have Ma Erlang told you?"

Ma Zhi's method is to wait for the chaos in Liao and train an elite soldier at the same time... These are actually Murong Wangyou's ideas.

But, this matter is probably more difficult than building a lighthouse free market?

...

"Train troops? Revise the east and west routes of Hebei? Zihou, are you serious?"

In Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhang Dun's prime minister's mansion, Zhang Dun, who entered the court to report the matter, had already heard Zhang Dun's plan to train troops and rectify the plans of the east and west sides of Hebei, and was immediately frightened and sweated.

Can the imperial guards in Kaifeng Prefecture be touched by civil servants?

Can the wealthy families in Hebei East and West Roads be met by the new party?

Moreover, the health of the official family is still so bad now. What if there is a shortage of three or two, can the Zhang family live a life?

"Mr.," Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "You have led troops for many years. You should know whether the Kaifeng Imperial Army, the Hebei Imperial Army and the East and West sides of Hebei can fight, right?"

Zhang Qi shook his head and said nothing.

How could he not know? Although the Song Dynasty imperial guards now have 590,000 military quotations, the number that can be fought is 100,000, which is still the number in the military quotations. In fact, it would be good if there are 70,000 or 80,000.

As for the 490,000 imperial guards outside the northwest, there are at least 100,000 or 200,000 in various quotas, and the remaining are the old and weak soldiers who cannot be trained. The ones who can really fight, or who can become elite men, are at most tens of thousands.

If you want to rectify and train the Kaifeng Imperial Army and the Hebei Imperial Army, you have to touch on the interests of a large number of founding generals. These founding generals are not ordinary military officers who are so easy to bully. They are nobles who intermarried with the Zhao family for generations and have long been one with the Zhao family.

In addition, these founding generals were already close to the old party, and they were all from the northerners! Many descendants of old party bosses also became noble generals by refining military officers. Therefore, once the new party took action to rectify Kaifeng and Hebei imperial guards, it was possible that the noble generals would completely turn to the old party!

In addition, there are some headaches. Kaifeng and Hebei imperial guards not only have too many quotas, but their combat effectiveness is too weak, but their equipment is also very poor.

Take Kaifeng Imperial Army as an example. The heavy and thick Fiery Man armor does not exist at all, and no one is willing to wear it! Since no one wears it, the military weapon is hard and naturally I am too lazy to build it. It is unknown whether it can build heavy armor over time?

The situation of military horses is even worse. The horse politics of the Song Dynasty had already been ruined... This was caused by Wang Anshi, and the ranch of the Qunmusi Department was abolished and rented for farmers to farm. The "Master Protection Law" could not protect the horses... Later, the Qunmusi Department was restored to raise horses, and the situation was even worse than before. There were no few war horses available a year. If you want to rectify it, you don't know where to start?

"It is impossible to rectify Kaifeng, the Hebei imperial guards." Zhang Feng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There are too many people offended, and the soldiers are too decayed, so it is difficult to rectify."

"What should I do?" Zhang Dun asked.

"It is better to recruit new troops than to rectify old soldiers..." Zhang Feng frowned deeply, "Now, Kaifeng, the military skills of the generals of the imperial guards in Hebei are not as good as those of the elites of the Western Army, even compared with the peasant boys in the frontiers of Shaanxi. People in the frontiers of Shaanxi have long been accustomed to wars, and many young fathers and grandparents have died in the king's affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were loyal and wise after the death and injury of the conquest. Moreover, Qin is hard and poor, and there have been decades of wars and struggles. Those who can survive are extremely hard-working people.

If you can raise 40,000 to 50,000 Shaanxi boys and train hard for ten or eight years, you should be able to fight with tens of thousands of iron armor, 30,000 strong bows, 10,000 war horses, and tens of thousands of slow horses. You should be able to fight in one battle."

Zhang Feng's method is obviously more reliable than Zhang Dun's method, but he has gone further in some aspects.

Zhang Dun's training was to train old soldiers, which was to train the imperial guards in Kaifeng and Hebei. Zhang Du's method was to abandon the imperial guards and directly go to Shaanxi to recruit a new army.

The peasant teenagers in frontier prefectures and counties in Shaanxi are more than Kaifeng, and the elite troops of the Hebei imperial guards can fight! Because the war in the northwest not only dispatches imperial guards, but also dispatches a large number of militias and civilians, and the civilian military service is extremely heavy. In some places, few males even live beyond the age of 30!

Therefore, recruiting young people from the frontier areas of Shaanxi to join the army is definitely the easiest to train, and the combat effectiveness is definitely the most powerful.

But the question is again...Who will recruit soldiers to train?

Recruiting Shaanxi teenagers to train soldiers... This seems to be easier to practice the unique skills of a yellow robe! Is it handed over to the Western Army Generals? The generals of the Zong family, Yao family, Zhe family, and Liu family are already a little too big. Let their family practice a new army of one or two generals, and will it be a rebellious in the future?
