"Slap in the face, Mr. Han won't have such a small belly." Zhang Feng said.

"Maybe, but I'm scared." Wang Ju said.

In fact, after the defeat of Shuichuan, thousands of people in Qinzhou stopped the trouble, and Han Gong was no longer the former Han Gong, so the Shuiluo City Incident was in the Shuiluo City Incident. After the Shuiluo City Incident and the failure of the Qingli New Deal, Ouyang Gong was no longer Ouyang Gong. They used to be a role model and were upright and dared to speak out, but that was the past. The ideal failed, and saw the darkness of the officialdom and the ups and downs of life, so they all wanted to keep their positions. Some things knew were wrong, but they still did it for the sake of the position and the interests of their relatives.

But this cannot be said.

"Brother, let me talk about soldiers again. When I raise a military force, the people often miss the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, whether the soldiers in the Han and Tang Dynasties had strong soldiers in our court? I only said one thing, the eyes of the chicken croaker. Why were there few night battles before? It was because many soldiers had eyes of the chicken croaker, and they could not see things at night, but did any soldiers in our court have eyes of the chicken croaker?"

Chicken croaker eyes are night blindness, mainly because of lack of vitamin A. Eating more belly and eggs can improve it. But no one in the Song Dynasty knew about it, and no one in the Han and Tang Dynasties knew about it. The few night blindness people in the Song Dynasty were not because the Song people liked to eat liver, but it meant that the food was increasing, including the increase in the proportion of meat and fishy foods.

"It is because there are few chicken-croaking eyes in the army, so I launched a night march in all three battles. I am not weak in my body and my weapons are further improved. But in which dynasty and that generation, my dynasty had the largest income and the huge military expenditures they invested? Does that mean that our dynasty would do better than the Han and Tang dynasties?"

This question was too difficult to ask, and Zhang Qi couldn't speak for most of the day.

"Why did the Liao Xingzong personally lead a 100,000 army to death by Li Yuanhao, and the only side army behind him almost broke through Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia? Or another question, after the defeat of Qigou Pass, our court was shocked. If Li Jilong had no command power, but changed to a civil servant, such as Han Gong or Fan Gong, would he win two great victories in Tanghe and Xuhe? Then what kind of situation will our court face?"

"Duke Cao is a military general."

"Cao Gong is a military general, but what kind of record has he achieved?"

"Prevent the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"Brother, please look at the history books again. If Pan Mei had not laid the foundation first, Wang Ming and Liu Yu had a great victory in Wanjiangkou, could the Southern Tang be successfully captured? Why would I make another analogy? How many soldiers and horses did I dispatch to Pingnan Tang? But Pingnan Han sent geometric troops? The Southern Han was far away in Lingnan, Pan Mei's army went to that enclave. How long did it take to capture the Southern Han? But Cao Gong had the foundation laid by Pan Mei, and Wang Ming and Liu Yu's fierce battle. How long did it take to pacify the Southern Tang? Not to mention that the Southern Han did not have any soldiers and horses, in the battle of Lianhua Peak, the 150,000 troops dispatched by the Southern Han were not troops or ants?"

Not to mention Pan Mei, even if you use Tian Chongjin and Cui Yanjin as the head coach, you will be better than Cao Bin. At least you won’t lose so badly, so inexplicably.

There are still many such examples. If Di Qing obeys Yu Jing and Sun Mian, can he achieve the great victory in Kunlun Pass?

It would be bad for Li Jilong's son Li Chuyun to eat human flesh, but if he hadn't had the courage to snatch the power of military command from Murong Yanzhao, could he quickly take Hunan?

Or will it be defeated so badly in the Battle of Dingchuan Fortress and use Di Qing and Zhang Kang instead of Ge Huaimin?

"Zi'an, what you said is actually only one sentence: use the right people and use good people. But how difficult this is, the same person, at different ages, and performs differently. Xue Rengui was almost invincible in his life, but he was defeated in Dafeichuan, opening the prelude to the loss of Qinghai in the Tang Dynasty. Xue Ne was defeated repeatedly, but in the end, he defeated the Tubo people, and kicked off the prelude to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Unless Li Jing and Wei Qing and other invincible generals, how many invincible generals are there in ancient and modern times?"

What Wang Ju said was not this, but the deformed system of the Song Dynasty.

Even if Xue Rengui has suffered a crushing defeat once, it would be better to use Xue Rengui than to use Han Fan and Ge Huaimin.

Besides, Xue Rengui's opponent is different from Xue Na's opponent. Xue Rengui's opponent is Lun Qinling, which is also a god of war. In the former Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that except for Li Jing being slightly above him in military terms, the rest are not his opponents, or Li Ji can barely be on par with him.

Not to mention that Xue Rengui and Guo Daifeng are in conflict, without this, Qinling can still find the loophole in Xue Rengui's army, and then magnify it and defeat Xue Rengui, at most it will not be so miserable.

Of course, putting aside Xue Rengui and his son, the military system of the Tang Dynasty also had various shortcomings, especially the later system of vassal states.

Therefore, Wang Ju said again: "It's not an invincible general, brother, you misunderstood my meaning. Look at this ground."

Zhang Feng looked in the direction of his finger.

It was already afternoon and the streets of Qingzhou were also deserted.

Unlike Kaifeng, Qingzhou still retains the ancient tradition, wake up early and go to bed early, and generally trade transactions are traded in the morning. In the afternoon, there are fewer people in the city.

The street was very quiet, and the sun was scattered onto the teahouse, which also brought Wang Ju's shadow very long.

"shadow?"

"It is the shadow, the shadow is always part of us, and no one can get rid of it, but the sun is shorter, and the sun is long. This is true for any system, including the military system. The military system of the Han and Tang Dynasties should be shorter, and the military system of our dynasty is like the shadow at sun is long, very long."

Zhang Shi was speechless.

In the Song Dynasty, there was definitely no right to laugh at the Han and Tang dynasties. That was not a fifty-step laugh at a hundred steps, but a fifty-step laugh at a hundred steps.

So he took a bitter sip of tea, turned around and asked, "Zi'an, what are you going to do when you migrate this time?"

That would be a headache.

"When Mr. Sun said just now, I was thinking that it was quite troublesome. Moreover, I got off the few rogues and sent officers and soldiers to the mountains to suppress bandits. Many fugitives also returned to Huachi County. This was originally a good thing, but the migration began, which gave me a headache. The barren villages and cultivated land would become even fewer."

"Mr. Sun will not be able to make this Dao order."

"This order is not wrong. If the Xixia people formally invade Qingzhou, it will not be a few troops to plunder, but may be tens of thousands, or 100,000 troops. It is impossible to rely on officers and soldiers. It must rely on strong men and strong horses. Once the front line is withdrawn to the rear, the walls can be strengthened and the fields can be cleared and the troops can be gathered calmly. There is no wrong order, but the wrong people are the people."

As long as Sun Mian is still in Qingzhou and Li Liangzuo leads an army of 100,000, will Sun Mian dare to fight?

If you dare not fight, this decree is an act of disturbing the people.

"Look at it again, but Huachi County also has advantages. Although Huachi County is small in area, it has a smaller population. There are many river beaches, valleys and soil plates that can be used, but no one has cultivated them before, so it has become barren mountains and ridges. If people are sent to build water dams, roads, and people are sent to plough the soil. After a winter of freezing, a large number of fertile fields will appear next year. Brother Zhifu, do you think I have anyone in my hands?"

"Hahaha," Zhang Qing laughed.

There are not too many people available in Wang Ju's hands, more than 2,000 prisoners of war, some bandits, and the strong men in Zalizhai. On the big project, there is not much manpower, but in a small county in Huachi, it is enough to do a lot of things.

Of course, some money may be needed in the middle, but not too much, Wang Ju's father and the Zhu family can pay in advance.

After laughing, he asked, "What should I do if there is such a road?"

"We have to delay construction until next year."

"In the late winter, what are you going to arrange those prisoners of war?"

"I have sent people to Huanzhou to find a carbonite mine. This year, it is mainly for research and development. After the research and development, the court will try to produce some new stone cannons on the banks of the Huachi River. At most, those officials will return to the capital at the end of next spring. But I don't plan to abandon that workshop and continue to produce some armor and weapons, and moderately replace the bad armor and weapons of the officers and soldiers of each battalion of Huachi. But that's the case, it probably has nothing to do with the court. Moreover, the court has been suffering from disasters for many years, and will not allocate more money and silk, let alone change the officers and soldiers of several battalions in Huachi County. This money and silk may need to be funded by Zhu and Li families. Therefore, the first is iron, and the second is carbonite. When it is cold, I plan to let these prisoners of war dig carbonite."

If you don’t kill, you don’t kill. Anyway, don’t think about having a good life.

"Brother, and this group of prisoners of war may not be able to stay for a long time."

"Why?" Yao Yi asked from the side.

With these prisoners of war, they could do a lot of things. Even if the carbonite was dug out, the various tribes arranged the roads and repaired the roads. However, Huachi still had many affairs, such as transporting grain and further building forts, which required a large number of people.

"Starting the New Year, Xixia will also send envoys to congratulate us on New Year's Day. They won't ask for these prisoners of war?"

“They are all invaders.”

"General Yao, politics and military are different. They are invaders, but the court's finances are tight and he does not want to have a major head-on conflict with the people of Xixia. In order to appease, most of them issued an edict in the end to release these prisoners of war."

"Where did the imperial court go to?"

"It's redundant, and General Yao, think about it, we also need time."

If you want to fully realize Wang Ju's plan to strengthen the army, you have to wait until next autumn. Not only will you have to wait for weapons and armor, but you have to wait for money. Only in next autumn will you accumulate a large amount of wealth and let the three armies change as much as possible. At that time, the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the Huachi battalions will be truly improved.

Several people walked out of the teahouse.

Wang Ju and Yao Yi quickly returned to Huachi County.

When a migration was about to have a headache, not only did the officials have to help, but both of them had to go back to prepare.

However, Li Sangou was very happy. The several Yeli tribes who defected were also on the front line. Xixia plundered twice and suffered heavy losses. When they moved to the rear, they would become safe, and there was no need to support them in building forts and making passive defenses.

However, the first thing Wang Ju did when he came to Huachi County was not to migrate the foreign tribes, but to call Quan Er's eldest son and said, "You immediately pick two good horses, ride a horse to the capital, find Ge Shaohua, and say something to him. When he found out the capital, he immediately took these two good horses to the mansion of the Taishi Miao Jizong, handed the two horses to the Miao family, and then handed the secret letter to the Miao Taishi. He said nothing else, and returned to the northwest immediately." r1152
