The gate of Chongzheng Hall slowly closed, blocking the cold wind whistling outside the hall.

Because it is winter now, all the windows of the hall are closed, and tampons are nailed on the wooden frames of the windows to increase sealing. Without the sunlight, the entire hall is illuminated by candles, and twenty big red candles tributed by Jiehe Shangshi were lit, illuminating the entire hall.

The prime ministers stood in two shifts, and several older ministers even gave him seats. Now it is approaching New Year, and as usual, it should be full of joy. However, today the ministers in the hall frowned and looked at Wu Haogu standing next to Zhao Ji's imperial case.

Chongzheng Hall discusses politics, as usual, there is no position as a military commander in the city!

But Wu Haogu still squeezed in! This won’t become a routine, right?

"Wu Qing," Zhao Ji called out the ancient name of Wu Hao, "Tell me about the idea of ​​the Dujun Pilot's military officer in organizing the Western Army's elite cavalry."

What?

The ministers present suddenly looked ugly. It was not that they opposed the sorting of the Western Army, but that Wu Haogu seemed to bypass the two governments and the Yin-Taiwan Tongzheng Department and directly reported the suggestions for the reorganization of the army to the emperor.

The Master of the Dujun is theoretically the minister of the Emperor, so of course he has the power to report the tent. However, the report should not be bypassed by the two palaces!

If this is a convention, and in the future, the military affairs will be discussed by the Du Junmaster and the emperor. After discussion, then they will be taken to the Chongzheng Hall for discussion. Then, wouldn’t the power of the two governments be emptied?

"Your Majesty!" Su Zhe immediately stood up from the seat and said, "The court has its own laws to discuss matters. If there is a military officer in the Ministry of Justice, he should submit a memorial through the Tongzheng Department."

Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this, "The Du Junmao has no Jianbai, but I discussed the Northwest military aircraft with Wu Qing yesterday, and I occasionally felt something."

Su Che sighed in his heart: Although it is better to release the Du Junjimaster than to let Wu Haogu be the prime minister directly. However, this yamen is too unruly, and everything he does is to destroy the laws of the court. And it is really hateful to deceive the emperor with the fact that he made great achievements!

No matter how hateful it is, you have no words to say.

Because the establishment of the Dujun Mail Office was decided by the two governments. It is less than a year now, so you can't just slap your mouth so quickly, right?

Wu Haogu's eyes swept through the hall and found a lot of fire-ridden eyes, and a sigh in his heart.

After all, I am a great scholar, so why is it so unpopular? Forget it, when I get to the northwest, I should go back to my own boundary river... I will stay comfortable in my territory!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu put away his thoughts and said, "The battles since the rise of the northwest military forces in the third year of Jianzhongjingguo have all used armored cavalry as the key to decisive victory and the essence of the three armies. It can be seen that cavalry is the essence of the army and the pillar of the country. There are many knights in the Western Army, proficient in martial arts, and countless armored cavalry can be used as armored cavalry. If one of them can be selected, awarded land to Shuofang and Lingzhou, and granted the imperial knights, the essence of the Western Army can be made to the country."

insidious!

cunning!

mean……

A bunch of derogatory words immediately emerged in the minds of the important officials in the palace. However, no one could deny that the treacherous ministers of Wuhan University were feasible.

Although the Western Army is known as 200,000, it seems to have many elites. In fact, the real essence is only two parts: one is the cavalry of the Western Army; the other is that the archers do not refer to archers who draw bows and shoot archers, but archers on the edge who have obtained 200 acres of land.

The cavalry of the Western Army was the army that could really fight on horseback before the rise of the imperial knights. The number of soldiers in the Song army was about 5,000. Perhaps more considering that the Western Army could mobilize foreign troops and archers to conquer, it was difficult to explain clearly.

However, there are not too many elite cavalrymen, including the light cavalry, which is only more than 10,000. Considering the existence of father-son soldiers and brother soldiers, it is probably enough for more than 10,000 knight manors to be arranged by more than 10,000 people.

The land in the northwest can be more relaxed. A knight gives 2,000 acres of dry land, and 5,000 knights only have 10 million acres.

There is so much land in Shuofang Road and Lingzhou, and there are also a large number of official lands in Shaanxi 6th Road, so it is not difficult to distribute 10 million acres.

After losing 5,000 elite cavalry, the strength of the Western Army was greatly damaged. If you want to resist the imperial court's mobilization and reorganization, you would be a dream.

Once the Western Army collapses, the weaker Eastern Army will be unable to stop the replacement of the new military soldiers from the new government.

Wu Haogu continued: "And this Western Expedition of the Hexi Army also gave the Western Knights the opportunity to make achievements. Now the Hexi Army, the Great Education Regiment, and the Lingzhou Army can gather about 5,000 armored cavalry, and the Western Army will have another 5,000 armored cavalry, and a total of 10,000 armored cavalry. Not only does it not have to worry about the battle of the Western Expedition, but even Yan Yun will have the capital to attack the northern expedition in Japan."

In the view of Wu Haogu's military aides Zhao Zhongge, Murong Mu, Ma Kuo and others, the infantry of the Western Army was not of great value, and cheap mansions could completely replace them. However, the Western Army's cavalry was of high value, and at least 5,000 knight homes could be rectified.

It is not difficult for Wu Haogu to create a considerable number of knights in Hebei. Together, 10,000 knight families will be found... If there is a battle between Song and Jin in the future, the Song Dynasty will be able to bring out tens of thousands of elite cavalry elites!

Zhao Ji smiled and asked the ministers present: "What do you think? If everyone thinks it is feasible, then I will let Wu Haogu come out as the General Military Aircraft of the Sixth Route in Shaanxi in the name of the military aircraft envoy of the capital, and be responsible for reorganizing the Western Army Knights."

What? Wu Haogu is finally leaving Beijing? This is a great thing!

The ministers present also had a lit up feeling. Wu Haogu could finally disappear from Kaifeng Prefecture!

Although the title of Du Junji is still there, he cannot interfere in Kaifeng Prefecture in Shaanxi. The person who is in charge of the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture's Du Junji is probably the Tongzhi Du Junji Zhang Shuye.

After all, Zhang Shuye is a civil servant!

Moreover, once Wu Haogu left the emperor's side, there would be a way to deal with him and his empirical school.

...

While Wu Haogu was preparing to leave Beijing to make a layout that could change the fate of the Song Dynasty, the infamous colonist Ji Yi was busy preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet in Nanxin Island, which had just begun construction.

Hu Yanqing and Yuanjue Monk had already arrived at Nanxin Island, and brought countless spoils, including 250,000 taels of gold, 11 large Arabic galleys, 100,000 stones of rice, 100,000 pieces of cotton, 100,000 kilograms of various spices, 3,000 slaves, 5,000 good wood and many other good things.

Because there were too many spoils, Ji Yi had to convene shareholders of Nanxindao Commercial Market and several chief officials of the Nanyang Inspection Department for many days to discuss the issue of how to divide it.

Because it is a spoil, the big head must be the warriors. Especially the warriors who fought hard on the Said Wangesu received a reward of 100,000 taels of gold, which is an unprecedented reward!

And everyone else who had never participated in the hard battle had a share, and the least one got 1 tael of gold.

The remaining property and slaves are used as the capital of the Nanxin Island Chamber of Commerce for the construction of the commercial market.

Just as the soldiers and merchants on the island were busy preparing for the New Year, the construction project on Nanxin Island had already begun.

According to the plan, there will be two areas on Nanxin Island, where the Commercial City and the Inspection Department will be located.

The market will be placed on the bank of Hairong River and build docks, shops, warehouses, houses and agricultural land along the river channel (used to grow vegetables and fruits). In addition, fortresses will be built at the entrance of Hairong River, and wooden walls will be built behind the market (front towards Hairong River).

The inspection department's headquarters is located in Longyamen Port, including two fortresses, one on Nanxin Island and the other on Longya Island. Two piers are distributed on Nanxin Island and Longya Island like fortresses.

In just one month, the construction of Nanxin Island has begun to take shape. On the side of Longyamen Port, the fortress and pier are already in shape. On the side of Hairong River, many temporary piers and temporary shanty towns have been built. Many sailors who were a little impatient on the boat have now moved to those shanty towns for temporary living.

According to Ji Yi's request, the Nanxin Island Commercial and Municipal Office Office was built on the Hairong River and chose a peninsula terrain formed by the fork of the Hairong River. Because the two sides were facing water, it was particularly clean and refreshing. Now the government office is half-shaped, and there are some temporary wooden sheds next to it. The servants and servants shuttled back and forth, looking very busy. It seems that there are distinguished guests visiting now.

Today I visited the Great Skin Socks of the Three Buddhas Kingdom. He was discussing the "British Alliance" with Ji Yi on behalf of the Three Buddhas Kingdom King Dobila and Ji Yi. After discovering that he was not only unable to drive away the Song people who occupied the island of Puluo, but also had to rely on them to maintain the road-blocking business of the Three Buddhas Kingdom, Dobila finally figured it out.

Since we can't fight, let's join forces. After all, we are all Buddhist disciples. It's easier to talk to the Brahman states, Java states and Zhenla states, right?

In addition, there is another thing that needs to be discussed with Ji Yi, the envoy of the Heavenly Kingdom. Aceh, the port city in the northwest of the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom, is now occupied by the remnants of the Pu family. There is a group of Tianfang merchants! It is the territory of the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom, and it is an important port facing the Indian Ocean, so it cannot be lost just like that.

However, the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom had no strength to take back Aceh. The only one who could do this was the Song army stationed in Puluo Zhongdao.

In the lobby of the government office that has not been renovated, Ji Yi smiled and listened to the request of the leather socks, then folded her hands together and said with a smile: "The great minister, I understand. However, our dynasty is a country of etiquette, and the Buddha also talks about compassion. Even if he meets evil people, he cannot kill them casually. Why not do this? After the New Year Festival, I will send an envoy to Aceh and ask the Tianfang scholars of Aceh to submit to the Three Buddhas. What do you think?"

What!? After hearing Ji Yi's words, the big face of leather socks was almost out of breath. What are you saying? Now you have to be compassionate and have to be polite and then soldiers. Why didn't you say these words when you ransom gold to occupy Puluo's island before?
Chapter completed!
