After listening to Su Chi's advice, even Zhao Ji, who was addicted to Taoism, came back to his senses.

Su Chi wants to go to war with Jiaozhi Country!

Does the princes and ministers of Jiaozhi have to investigate if they are not ministers? The Jiaozhi Kingdom sent troops to invade the border prefectures and counties on the Song Dynasty many times, and did a lot of burns, killing and looting! During the Xining period, Jiaozhi Kingdom also launched a large-scale entrance, breaking through Qinzhou, Lianzhou, Yongzhou and other places, and massacring hundreds of thousands of people, which was even worse than the Western thieves!

Moreover, the Prince of Jiaozhi was only for the Song Dynasty. In China, Jiaozhi regarded the Dayue as the national name, and the Prince of Jiaozhi has always regarded himself as an emperor.

The Great Song Dynasty sent the censor to investigate? What a nonsense! The sent censor might be slashed by someone, what should I do then?

Although he guessed Su Chi's thoughts, Zhao Ji did not point it out in Chongzheng Hall, but instead suppressed the matter of sending the censor to investigate Ji Yi and Jiaozhi Kingdom.

After asking about the questions in Chongzheng Palace, Su Chi was left alone.

After the ministers left, Zhao Ji frowned and looked at Su Chi and asked, "Su Qing, do you want to invade Jiaozhi with your military power?"

Su Chi actually nodded, "Your Majesty is wise! I am just thinking this."

"Why is this?" Zhao Ji was stunned. "Your father Su Che has never liked to talk about military affairs. Why do you like to talk about military affairs like this?"

Su Chi sighed: "Your Majesty doesn't know, I have to like talking about military affairs... Now that the army is young and strong, I want to fight day and night, I am the Privy Councilor. If I don't talk about military affairs, how can I appease people's hearts?"

"The people in the army are interested in fighting?" Zhao Ji was stunned, "Is the people in the army afraid of the enemy and fighting?"

"Some people are afraid of the enemy and fear of fighting, and some are afraid of fighting!" Su Chi said, "The generals of the imperial guards under the jurisdiction of the three yamen are afraid of the enemy and fear of fighting. However, the new generals and assistants under the jurisdiction of the Shufu have many warlike and fighting... If there is no war to fight, I am afraid that these people will complain to the court!"

"There is such a thing?" Zhao Ji was shocked.

Aren't he addicted to Taoism now? So he didn't care much about the situation of the army. In his opinion, the military of the Song Dynasty could not be cheered up, and he did not dare to cheer up. So he threw them all to the two governments for discussion. It was very democratic. He would follow the discussion below.

The two government officials below were not good, they were both ungrateful. No one mentioned the dissolution of the new army, and no one wanted to close the military academy that specialized in the revolutionary party.

Moreover, almost all the prime ministers felt that the court still had some force in their hands, otherwise how could they resist the Khitans, Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan?

So after the Privy Council took over the Dujun Magistrates Department, the civil servant group, which should have been "suppressing martial arts", actually started to run a military academy very seriously. If it is not possible to run a new army, it is not possible to do it. Not to mention whether Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuanhui will fight, there are only Kaifeng New Army, Shaanxi New Army, Southeast New Army, Hedong New Army (established by Zhang Shuye), Shuofang New Army, Lingzhou New Army, and there are more than twenty generals at all.

Moreover, the Infantry Academy (later changed to the Martial Arts Academy) also has hundreds of graduates coming out every year. How can you do it without arrangement? You disband the new army. Where are these young warriors going? They all went to Tianjin to join the martial arts Haogu?

In addition, the Shaanxi New Army, Hedong New Army, Shuofang New Army, Lingzhou New Army, the Han family's Zhaoyi Army, and the Hailu Maritime Marketing Department all proposed to the court to use military students to lead troops. They also constantly recommended young military personnel to study at the military academy in Kaifeng Prefecture.

In the eyes of court ministers, this is a manifestation of the loyalty of the Shaanxi Army, Hedong Army, Shuofang Army, Lingzhou Army, Zhaoyi Army, and Hailu Maritime Control Department to the court. If you stop the military academy and others go to Tianjin Knights Academy to recruit people, how can the court control them?

Therefore, the situation forces the court to run a military academies and a new army. It not only needs to be done, but also has the conditions to do it.

First of all, there is money! Cai Jing's money reform seems to be successful at present, so the court is not short of money.

Secondly, there is no shortage of talents. Because there are still many talents in the court system who graduated from the Military Academy and the Knights College in their early years.

At the same time, there are six "universities" in the imperial court, which can cultivate a large number of new scholars every year. These talents also provide guarantees for the faculty of the Martial Arts Academy.

In addition, some of the graduates of the six "universities" have directly joined the New Army, Privy Council, Military Equipment Supervisor, Hailu Maritime Bureau and other military-related yamen offices. To a certain extent, the management level of the New Army has also improved to a certain extent.

Of course, there are also factors that are not conducive to the development of the new army.

First, civil servants in the imperial examination always dominated the mainstream, and military officials, both old and new, are in a state of suppression.

Moreover, since the new army and the martial arts palace have always had a heritage relationship with Wu Haogu, the court was also wary of the military academy and the new army. This is the reason why the Kaifeng Imperial Army, which had long been corrupt and could not fight, was never disbanded.

Second, the reform of the government system in the Song Dynasty finally failed. The government system that did not spend money and had no land could not be maintained.

By the third year of Zhenghe, except for the Shaanxi New Army, the Lingzhou New Army and Shuofang New Army (they have land) had some guarantees, and the remaining new armies had experienced a large number of soldiers fleeing.

Even the Shaanxi New Army and Shuofang New Army also had a large number of auxiliary soldiers who were Wutian fled. Arita's official soldiers were unable to maintain their service for too long and faced bankruptcy.

The Kaifeng New Army, which was given military pay, was also shaken due to the high prices of Kaifeng Prefecture and the lack of pay and land for auxiliary soldiers. The morale of the army was unstable, and many soldiers fled.

Under such circumstances, at the beginning of the third year of Zhenghe, the two governments gathered discussions and proposed to abolish the government troops (reserving Shaanxi, Lingzhou and Shuofang's Tian government troops) and instead recruit soldiers.

Although the repeated military reforms were very unfavorable to enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Song army, the new army's officer group was actually established.

Thousands of military academies, universities, and early military officers (including officials and miscellaneous military officials) formed the backbone of the Song Dynasty's new army.

Most of this group of people were just miscellaneous military officials who had no official status (the military officials who led the Northern Song Dynasty had relatively low status, and many of them were of no quality), with a low level, a low salary, and were not qualified to borrow interest-free loans to buy a house. Especially the miscellaneous military officials trapped in the Privy Council of Kaifeng Prefecture, military academies, and Kaifeng New Army system, none of them did not look forward to fighting!

However, the target they are looking forward to attacking is not Jiaozhi, but to recover Hedong from the declining Liao people.

But now Hedong can recover most of the people through peaceful means... What should we do if these miserable new military officers do? How to buy a house? How to get rich? How to get promoted?

If there is no way out for them, will they rebel?

There will be a republic with shiny military uniforms in the north soon!

Just when Su Chi couldn't think of who to go to war with, the Jiaozhi Kingdom's mission happened to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit. If the Jiaozhi Kingdom Emperor Renzong Emperor Li Qiande knew about this, he would probably cry to death in the palace!

"Your Majesty," Su Chi whispered, "Let me give the officers below a chance to make meritorious service and let them attack Jiaozhi."

"Attack Jiaozhi..." Zhao Ji frowned, "If Jiaozhi is miasma, if the army is used to seize it, there will be many casualties!"

Su Chi shook his head and whispered: "If you die, you may be safe..."

This is pretty good. Win and defeat foreign enemies, kill and eliminate internal troubles! Nothing will be a loss!

Zhao Ji sighed, "That's all! But the censor in the court must be afraid that the road to Jiaozhi Kingdom is too long and refuses to go. What if it does?"

Su Chi said: "Your Majesty can issue an edict to your younger brother Su Shi and ask him to find out the truth."

Let Su Shi go and lay charges for Jiaozhi Kingdom? Zhao Ji thought to himself that the Prince of Jiaozhi was really unlucky, so Ji Yi bullied him and ended up passing by. He sent someone to Kaifeng Prefecture to accuse him, but the more ruthless Su Chi took a chance.

I don’t know if it will follow the footsteps of the Black Khan Uighur’s “Lion King”?

Zhao Ji said: "Who can lead the army to the south? How many troops will be sent? Now the recruitment of troops is being changed. How many troops are available for the Kaifeng New Army?"

Su Chi said: "I recommend that the head of the military computer room (formerly the reduction of the military commander) Zhang Xiaochun serves as the general manager of the army and horses. He does not have to mobilize the northern army to move south. He only needs to mobilize a part of the officers to go south and recruit soldiers at Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, Jinghu South Road and other places. Then the Hailu Branch raises military expenses and purchases equipment. He will definitely win a great victory."

"Well!" Zhao Ji sighed again, "The Privy Council has drawn up a strategy and then discuss it with the East Prefecture."

"I received the order." Su Chida breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I found something for a bunch of thorns below.

Let’s go and harm the Jiaozhi Kingdom!

Zhao Ji asked again: "Su Qing, are there thousands of mighty troops in the Kaifeng new army now?"

"There are still thousands of elite soldiers, and even tens of thousands can be drawn out."

"That's good." Zhao Ji said, "When King Ding went north, he would let Kaifeng New Army draw 10,000 elite troops to guard it. No matter how hard it was, the prestige of my Song Dynasty was to be in front of Wu Haogu and Empress Xiao!"

"I received the order..." Su Chi bowed and was about to leave, but saw a chubby big sable running in while panting, with a crying voice on his face.

Su Chi was a little surprised. The emperor and Shu were alone, how could the eunuch come in?

When Zhao Ji saw this big siew, his face changed and said angrily: "What? I'm pretending to be hung with me again?"

The big siew was obviously in chaos. He didn't notice Su Chi's presence at all and blurted out: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here this time..."

"Really?" Zhao Ji snorted. "This is another trick, but have you saved it?"

"No! No this time..." Da Diao Yu knelt down with a thump, "Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is already exhausted!"

"Are you angry, you're so angry?" Zhao Ji was stunned. "Dead?"

"The Queen Mother has passed away!"

Zhao Ji stared at the big sable and said in a lost voice: "Why is this? Why is this? I am not really trying to destroy her, I just scare her..."

Su Chi was stunned when he heard this.

Empress Dowager Liu is dead, oh, it must be a collapse! What's going on? Hearing the words of the big Diao Hu, it seems that he can't think about it and have a short opinion!
