Chapter 407 It's not an empty city plan, it's an empty country plan! Ask for a monthly ticket)
The Lin'an (Pizhou) court was the two saints in the dynasty. The heroine was the outside and the eunuchs were the inside, so the division of labor was clear.
Just after Zhao Gou and Wanyan Yan led all officials to worship the Emperor Wanyan Wuqimai of the Great Jin Dynasty, the two saints of Lin'an and the Chinese civil and military officials in the court were divided into two. Wanyan Yan led a group of military officials led by Li Cheng, Liu Lin, Kong Yanzhou and others, and also took the Crown Prince Zhao Shanzhen to leave Lin'an City, and moved to Chenjiabao on the east bank of the Chen River outside the city, and commanded the army of the Lin'an court, preparing to fight to the death with the invading Yue Fei.
The Emperor Zhao Gou of Lin'an led a group of civil servants and court officials to continue to sit firmly in the court and preside over major events in the country.
Can the Lin'an imperial court still have major national affairs?
Of course there is!
There are still many more!
Now, Wang Shiyong, the official in charge of the Privy Council of Lin'an court, was talking: "It's so that the officials know that the Empress has handed over the city defense of Lin'an Prefecture City to the Privy Council of Ministers. All military secrets in Lin'an Dike City are under the control of the Privy Council."
Finally, Zhao Gou, who was sitting alone on the imperial throne, suddenly felt enlightened when he heard Wang Shiyong's words. The Privy Council was theoretically a yamen for the military, but the Queen Wanyan Yan did not use the Privy Council to manage the military, but established a general general manager of various military and horses, with the name of Prince Zhao Shanzhen, and a group of "little white-faced Jinshi" as their subordinates to undermine the yamen for the Privy Council and the civil servants of the Ministry of War.
This time when Wanyan Yan left Chenqiao Pavilion in the town, he took away all the troops from the General Office of the General Office of the Army and Horses, so he ignored the military affairs of "Lin'an Island" and handed over to the Privy Council.
"How many soldiers are there in Lin'an Prefecture?" Zhao Gou asked quickly.
Wang Shiyong replied: "The three armies with horses and stairs have a total of more than 4,400 people, and they have a large number of 100 jin and a single eight singles!"
"There are still quite a lot!" Zhao Gou's eyes suddenly shone with his eyes when he heard this!
Although he had brought tens of thousands of soldiers in his name, those soldiers were not his own, but his wife Wanyan Yan.
"Where did these more than 4,400 people come from?" Zhao Gou asked again, "Is it an imperial guard?"
"It's not an imperial guard," Wang Shiyong's answer disappointed Zhao Gou a little, "It's all the soldiers of Lin'an Prefecture."
When he heard that it was the Xiang army, the glory on Zhao Gou's face disappeared without a trace. Xiang army, the imperial guards are not the same thing!
Zhao Gou's army that was more capable of fighting in the Song Dynasty were all the so-called imperial guards, with a total of six, namely the twenty-four squads, the palace front army, the guard horse army, the guard infantry army, the guard naval army, and the Hebei Xuanfu Army.
Among them, the twenty-fourth squad was the Jurchen Bohai Army, with the strongest combat effectiveness and the smallest number of people, and was Wanyan Yan's personal army.
The three Yamen Army, namely the Palace Front Army, the Guards and the Guards and Infantry Army, were the main forces of the armed forces under the Lin'an court. Although their combat effectiveness was not as good as the 24th Squad, they were relatively large. Each army had one thousand households, with a total of 30,000 combat soldiers.
The navy was actually founded by Zhao Gou himself. It was used to run routes between Haizhou and Jingdong (Shandong) Road in Goryeo. It was raised through maritime trade and Haizhou (Goryeo) taxes. Before Zhao Gou became emperor, there were only two thousand people, and only ten warships had. After Zhao Gou became an official, the navy was also controlled by Wanyan Yan's general administration. Later, Wanyan Yan incorporated many pirates on the coast of Shandong Peninsula, bought many civilian ships from the maritime merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty, and expanded the scale of the navy to one thousand households, and the number of large and small sea ships equipped reached as many as three or four hundred!
The Xuanfu Army in Hebei is also a scale of ten thousand households. The ten thousand households were originally a bandit on Tokyo Road in Liao Kingdom, and a Han Chinese. When Aguda raised his army, he brought his subordinates to join and followed the Jurchens to fight in the east and west, becoming the founding hero of the Jin Dynasty. The ten thousand households were early on.
After the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties began, he first followed Wanyan Zongwang to fight Hebei, and then followed Wanyan Zonghan to Shandong.
After arriving in Shandong, he was divided into two states and lived his own life as a local emperor.
Later, Wanyan Zonghan evacuated Shandong, but he was unwilling to leave, so he surrendered to Wanyan Yan. He became the Hebei Xuanfu envoy of the Lin'an court and the governor of the Jinan Prefecture. He controlled the affairs of Bozhou, Dezhou, Binzhou, Dizhou, and Dongping Prefecture, and established the Jinan Prefecture. He became the supreme commander of the northern line of the Lin'an court. In addition to following his ten thousand households, the troops at hand also had some local traitors and the enlisted bandits in Shandong, with about 30,000 to 40,000.
The above six armies are the imperial guards of the Lin'an court, claiming to be 100,000... The actual number of people depends on how to count? If you only count the maximum number of soldiers with a war is 60,000 or 70,000, including the auxiliary soldiers with a hundred thousand, and including the family members with a few hundred thousand!
In addition to these imperial guards, the Lin'an court also had many wing troops affiliated with local prefectures. Most of them were armed by landlords and gentry, responsible for maintaining local public order, helping the government collect some land taxes, showdowns, etc. The Lin'an court did not spend money to support them, and the funds were all "self-raised".
As for combat effectiveness... I still have competent thieves to catch a few thieves and bully the working people.
The situation of the Xiang army in Lin'an Prefecture is slightly different. After Lin'an Prefecture paid a tax donation from local gentry and wealthy families, he hired some Ding Zhuang to do it. In theory, it should be a little better than the Xiang army in the local area. However, the Xiang army in the local area has to deal with some thieves (maybe they are thieves). Because the Third Yajun and the 24th Squad of Army in Lin'an Prefecture have no thieves, the Lin'an Xiang army has zero combat experience...
Seeing Zhao Gou's face was discouraged, the minister of the Privy Council, Wang Shiyong, and the minister of the Zuo Pushe and the minister of the disciple Zheng Juzhong exchanged glances with each other, and then spoke one after another to cheer Zhao Gou up.
"Don't worry about the officials. Although most of the defenders in Lin'an are wing soldiers, they are all elite and simple men, loyal and reliable, hard-working. As long as they are trained strictly, they will definitely become powerful."
"Officials, our Lin'an Prefecture City is a world-wide majestic city surrounded by water on three sides, with dikes and high platforms, and is sanitary in layers. Moreover, Lin'an Prefecture City is far away from the enemy's territory, and the enemy needs to pass many levels to break through outside Lin'an City. By then, it will be a tired army. The court only needs to stick to the city and wait for work to win a great victory."
"Yes, the Queen will not let the enemy soldiers come to the city soon, so please rest assured... I will do my best to assist the officials in training and expanding the Lin'anxiang Army."
"Yes, the enemy is still far away, and the imperial court still has time to prepare for war, so the most important thing at the moment is to do a good job in the imperial examinations to capture the hearts of Shandong scholars and officials... And if the Queen is in charge of the fight against the enemy, why should the officials worry about it?"
After hearing the advice of these two important officials, Zhao Gou's mentality stabilized. Even if he was anxious, it was useless to fight against the enemy. That was Wanyan Yan's responsibility.
What he can do now is to restore the original system of the Song Dynasty as much as possible - to control martial arts with literature, or to control wealth with literature, to control martial arts with wealth, and to control military forces with martial arts... This is the real way to achieve long-term stability!
Passing the imperial examination, connecting the imperial court with the landlord class who is under the control of land and customers (population), guiding them to abandon martial arts and become intermediaries in the imperial court and obtain finance and taxation is a key step in establishing a system of civilized control over martial arts.
......
"Empress, this is Wang Xuanshuai's urgent report..."
At the same time, Wanyan Yan, who had just settled in the Chenqiao Pavilion Fortress, was convening a military discussion. Her general manager Yi Luoyu came in from outside the lobby and arrived in front of Wanyan Yan. He held an emergency report delivered by Wang Bolong in 600 miles.
This Luo Yu was the top scorer in the imperial examination hosted by Wanyan Yan - Shandong's No. 1 coach!
He was really a Shandong man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide mouth, curly beard, tiger back and bear waist, tall and strong body!
Well, Wanyan Yan’s little face is like this! Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, and Liu Lin have almost the same respect, what a group of muscled men!
The handsome guys who were not very good at Qing Dynasty were the standard of beauty in this era... Wanyan Yan grew up among the crowd of men since she was a child. The fourteen brothers were all macho men, and the cousins were all muscular, so of course they could not like them.
"What did Wang Xuanshuai play?" Wanyan Yan asked with a smile.
"Report to the Empress," Luo Yu replied, "Wang Xuanshuai said that the Western cavalry has frequently invaded the borders of four states such as Bo, De, Bin, and Di. The four states' wings were unable to resist and could only defend themselves in the door."
"It's coming so fast!" Wanyan Yan frowned and glanced at Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin with a faint look. "What do you think of the three brothers?"
These three of them are Wanyan Yan's "god brothers".
"The Empress, Bo, De, Bin, Di and other four prefectures, as well as Jinan and Dongping, cannot be defended." Li Cheng frowned, "Wang Xuanfu's men should be allowed to retreat to Dengzhou as soon as possible. Dengzhou city is surrounded by the sea and the mountains, so it is easier to persist."
"Empress," Kong Yanzhou also said, "The situation is now critical. Only Dengzhou, Chenjia Island, Haizhou Qushan, Donghai and Lin'an Prefecture City can still be defended for a while..."
Liu Linze said: "Dengzhou, Chenjia Island, Haizhou Qushan and Donghai will definitely be ignored by Yue Fei. After all, these places are all remote beaches, but the Lin'an Prefecture City is a must for Yue Fei! Therefore, if we want to escape unstoppable, we must make Yue Fei believe that we have gathered the army and Lin'an and prepared to fight him to the death!"
Wanyan Yan nodded and smiled, "Yue Fei will definitely believe it... Zhao Gou is still in the imperial examination, and the candidates from all over Shandong are gathering in Lin'an Prefecture to prepare for the Jinshi exam! Who would believe that we want to escape?"
It turns out that Wanyan Yan is ready to run away!
However, she had too many "handsome guys" under her command, and she needed to take away more soldiers, family members, craftsmen, and goods, and too few ships available, so she had to be transported in batches.
Moreover, the matter of running away from Shandong has to be hidden from Zhao Kai, but also from Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou. The former has a large navy and may send troops to stop him, while the latter... The latter has to stay in Lin'an Prefecture City and sing the empty city. Oh, it's an empty national economy!
When he was about to run away, the Lin'an court collapsed. Lin'an City could not be defended for a day. How could Wanyan Yan and the others run away?
