Chapter 110 Suppression

Li Ji only heard him say: "In view of the current military force control and the laws of this dynasty, after consultation with the Privy Council, the Privy Council decided to give you 30,000 stagnant of money to recruit soldiers among refugees, but at most you can only form a single army of troops! The military force organization includes the prince's current entourage and imperial guards!"

There seems to be a lot of organization of this army, although there was a saying in ancient times that the commander of the three armies had a lot of troops. In fact, the organization of the imperial guards of the Northern Song Dynasty was different from that of ancient and modern times. The imperial guards of the Northern Song Dynasty were one capital, five capitals and one battalion, five battalion and one army, and ten army one case.

In other words, the army had only 2,500 full members, and more than 80% of them were recruited by Zhao Qian himself from the refugees. In fact, there were very few full members of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. In theory, an infantry battalion should have 500 people, but the actual situation was only about 400 people, while the cavalry battalion was even smaller, with only 300 cavalry, and some even less than 300 cavalry.

Zhao Qian suppressed his anger and said, "Thirty thousand coins, how much money is! And it doesn't include equipment and weapons! Does Mr. Li want me to take unarmed soldiers and escort food with bare hands?"

Li Zi was very thick-skinned and said with a grievance: "Your Majesty, you are wronged by me. Isn't this 30,000 guan military expenditure? This is 30,000 guan. Do you know how useful it is for 30,000 guan? It's enough for tens of thousands of households to spend in a month!"

Song Renzong could actually see that Zhao Jin was suppressed by a group of prime ministers, but Song Renzong was weak-hearted, and the prime ministers at present were all those who had been pushing themselves to the throne at the time, so there was no good way to mediate. Because of this, Song Renzong listened to the plan with an unnatural look on his face and did not speak a word.

But at this point, Song Renzong also felt that Li Zi and others were doing too much. After all, Zhao Jin was his own brother no matter what he said! Song Renzong couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Mr. Li, 30,000 yuan is indeed a lot, but it should cost a lot to buy weapons. You can give some to the King of Changsha!"

Song Renzong was speechless, but Li Zi couldn't refuse. However, as the saying goes, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom.

Li Zi's eyes rolled and said, "In this way, I asked the Ministry of War to distribute two thousand spears, five hundred sets of iron armor, one hundred sets of infantry armor, and three hundred bows. Let's go to the King of Changsha!"

After thinking about it, Song Renzong thought that this was also pretty good. The armored rate of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty was only more than 40%. Li Zi allocated 600 sets of armor to Zhao Jin. In addition, Zhao Jin's own imperial guards had about 200 sets of armor. Although the 800 sets of armor did not have 40% of the armored armor, it was already good to have such treatment given the prime ministers' situation against Zhao Jin.

Song Renzong was satisfied, but Zhao Qian gritted his teeth. He didn't know the little thoughts of Li Zi and others? Given that there has been no major war in the Song Dynasty for 30 years, there are old armors in the arsenal. These things are more bitter than not wearing them. The iron sheets are rusted, and the rust is stuck together. After wearing them, they move stiffly, and they are alive.

As for leather armor, I don’t know how many bugs are hidden in that thing. When I put them on, I saw hundreds of bugs of various types, and I was afraid that I would faint before the war was fought.

Needless to say, weapons and other things are pretending when the thing is not touched, but when the spear is held, it is full of wood chips. The spearhead and the spear rod are broken. If you take this thing to the battlefield, you will either give it to someone's head or be defeated.

Zhao Qian sneered and looked at Li Zi, Zhang Shixun and others, gritted their teeth and said, "The party fight will ruin the country! The ancients did not deceive me! I only now have a deep understanding! The emperor, my brother, have said goodbye!"

The face was torn apart, and after saying that, Zhao Qin turned around and left angrily.

Song Renzong looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Song Renzong, who had just taken power, was really weak in control of the government and the people.

Zhang Shixun and others all looked angry and said goodbye to Song Renzong with dissatisfaction. What did Song Renzong become? He was so angry that the things in the palace were damaged, and several other pieces of ceramics were broken.

Li Di was a little more kind, feeling that Zhao Qian was angry when he left. He said guiltily: "Shunzhi (Zhang Shixun), Zhongxun (Li Zi), have we done something just now?"

Wang Sui, the assistant minister, hesitated for a while and said, "Suppressing the royal family is the right way, but it is only at the cost of four million people on the East Road of Jingdong. Isn't it too much?"

Zhang Shixun snorted coldly: "You are the kindness of women. Besides, how could I really ignore Jingdong East Road? Don't forget that Fan (Shou) Buzhi was there to be the prefect, and even though Cheng Lin was a villain who changed his mind, he still had the ability!"

Li Zi was the most radical and shouted: "In ancient times, King Xuan was back to the ancient times. King Xuan could cultivate political affairs internally, expel barbarians externally, and restore civil and military territory (Note: 1). The ancient sages knew that if they could not correct the internal situation, how could they revive the country?"

(Note 1: King Xuan of Zhou restored his ancestors' glory because he was able to repair political affairs internally and defeated barbarians externally, so he restored the territory of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou.)

Wang Sui can be said to be a copy of Song Renzong. He loved Buddhism, so he was also weak-hearted. After hearing Li Zi say this, he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Di wanted to say something, but when Wang Sui didn't say anything, he looked at Wang Deyong who was walking at the end. At this time, Wang De lowered his head. If it weren't for the official robe, it would have been a misunderstanding that this was a eunuch. Li Di shook his head and said nothing more.

Wang Deyong was born as a military man and was excluded by scholars and officials from the court and the country. Although Wang Deyong was named Prime Minister, he was actually afraid that he would be framed and rebelled, but he was cautious in everything.

Despite this, Wang Deyong was impeached by Kong Dao, the descendant of Kong Laoer, who was "a magnificent and magnificent appearance, and suspected to be a minister." Well! Wang Deyong was so scared that he was urinating. It is also rumored among the people that Wang Deyong looks very much like Taizu of Song.

Wang Deyong was no longer so scared that he was almost dead. He quickly submitted a letter to resign and ran to Xuzhou for refuge. Although he was in a military position, he did not dare to touch any military affairs, for fear that others would be suspicious.
