Today is destined to be uneasy.

Although what Zhang Dun said was barely passed under the strong suppression of him and Zhao Xu behind him, the trouble was not over.

The "Shaosheng New Policy" covers too many political systems, military reforms, taxes, rights and responsibilities of various departments, and tasks, etc., and has not yet begun.

There were too many problems in the Song Dynasty, which was simply a pathological and almost all-round. With the struggle between the two parties of "new and old", there have been countless problems accumulated since the Emperor Shenzong Dynasty and Empress Dowager Gao ruled behind the curtain.

Although Zhang Dun's meeting today determined many things, he also felt like he was just trying it out.

"Try the water."

In the Privy Council, Zhao Xu and Zhang Feng were playing chess and said casually to Zhang Feng.

The palace is so big that every move of the Political Affairs Hall will fall into the ears of both of them, so there is nothing to hide.

Zhang Qi stared at the chess game, without commenting on government affairs, and said, "Officials, do you want to send Zong Ze to Jiangnan West Road?"

Zhang Dun and Cai Bian are not able to make this decision, and even this idea does not come from them at all, but can only be the official family in front of them.

Zhao Xu's chess skills are not good, but he likes the way of playing chess and chatting, and said lightly: "Zong Zexin is not cruel enough, so he has to be matched with a cruel person."

Zhang Qing thought of many people in his mind, and he rejected them one by one.

There are many talents, great talents, strong character, smart and capable, but the only disadvantage is that they are not ruthless enough.

Zhang Dun was cruel, but it was not the kind of cruelty that the officials said in front of him, and it was not enough to rectify Jiangnan West Road to establish authority and establish trust.

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Feng and said, "I plan to take Zong Ze as the Minister of War, and also serve as the governor of Jiangnan West Road, governor of all military and civil affairs, thoroughly rectify Jiangnan West Road, and implement the 'Shaosheng New Policy'."

Zhang Feng was not surprised and pondered, saying, "The official family, the governor of Jiangnan West Road, the governor of the military and civil affairs, these will make the government and the public very uneasy and rebound, let alone lead the tiger to fear the army, fearing the rest of the world, and create a bad liu."

The Song Dynasty has always paid attention to checks and balances. Not only did there be no chief officials in the local area, but the control of the army was particularly strict. Zhao Xu broke these rules in a flash, leaving no trace of them.

Zhao Xu lay down the chess piece, his face calmly said, "We are changing the previous generations, and later generations think that we are not good, which is normal. The rebound of the government and the opposition has not yet reached the beginning. Qiongzhou is a good place, but there are too few people."

Zhang Qi's eyes flashed with confusion, not knowing why Zhao Xu suddenly mentioned Qiongzhou.

Qiongzhou, which is Hainan in later generations, was not the most remote place in the Song Dynasty. It was vast and sparsely populated, and no one was willing to stay there.

Zhao Xu continued to say casually: "The three northern routes, Guo Cheng, Zhe Keshi, I am relieved to the three people in Jianzhong. The north must not only keep a close eye on Xia and Liao, but also steadily advance the 'military reform', strengthen military control, increase training, and steadily improve the military's combat effectiveness. It is necessary to do so that they can be pulled out and fought at any time, rather than raise a group of sheep."

Zhang Qi looked sobbing and said, "Yes. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War are strengthening the control of the army, and have formulated strict regulations and verification methods for the daily training of the army to ensure that all military appearances are cleaned up and combat power is improved."

Zhao Xu said with a hush, "In addition to these, logistics must also be guaranteed enough. I have ordered the Political Affairs Hall to reserve at least three months, and the 100,000 troops need money, weapons, horses, etc. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War should also take the research on military armor, firearms, etc., and the needs of the battlefield should be quickly reported. These must be clearly written on the "military rules". Not only the Privy Council, but the Ministry of War regularly and irregularly checked. I cannot tolerate the political affairs and the military cannot bear it, and the army cannot."

The "Military Reform" is of great importance, and the game between the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall and Zhao Xu has not been once or twice.

Even now, many government officials, even Zhang Dun, did not say anything, but they were still worried in their hearts. They were not sure what the "military reform" would look like and how big a disaster would be caused in the future.

Facing Zhao Xu's "willing to do whatever he wants", Zhang Dun and Zhang Feng were powerless.

This is not the Emperor of Shenzong, and the one in front of them is not the Emperor of Shenzong. If they are unhappy, they can be angry and even leave.

Not to mention that this person today will not give in like the Emperor Shenzong, but just say that they are too bound to the "New Law" and have too many hatreds with the "old party". They really want to give up. I wonder how many people are excited to sharpen their knives at home.

Of course, they will not be able to confront each other in major national affairs.

Zhang Feng listened to Zhao Xu's words and said seriously: "The official family, there is no need to worry too much about Dali. Qingtang is a little uneasy, it should be the instigation of Liao Xia."

Xixia was defeated by Zhao Xu and could only hide in Xingqing Prefecture. The Liao Kingdom was deeply in civil strife, was in a state of great difficulty, and was unable to launch a war against the Song Dynasty. Then it would be easy to understand that other forces were instigated to harass the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu sneered and said, "I haven't caused trouble for them yet, but they dare to emerge! Let all departments infiltrate Tubo departments and spread a lot of money and food. I believe that some people are willing to use it for us!"

The so-called "Qingtang" is also the hometown of the Tang Dynasty. It is now occupied by various Tubo tribes. It is a very plump and good place for producing horses, and its strategic location is very important!

Taking down Qingtang not only can intimidate Tubo, but also collect more homeland, but also can intimidate Xia and Liao, making Chengdu Prefecture Road complete!

Zhang Feng leaned over and said, "Yes. I am considering who to send to Chengdu Prefecture Road, which is more appropriate."

Smack

Zhao Xuluo said, "Zhong Fu was transferred to the governor of Chengdu Prefecture, Wang Zhan was the governor, and Wang Han was the general manager."

Zhang Shi was stunned and thought carefully.

Zhong Fu was the general manager of Xihe Road. He made contributions to Li Xia in the Northern Expedition, and so was Wang Han. However, Wang Zhan was not famous, and Zhang Shi had some impressions, but he couldn't remember them.

But Zhao Xu blurted out, obviously thinking carefully. With Zhong Fu and Wang Han here, there would not be much problem with the road to Chengdu Mansion. Zhang Feng said: "Yes. I and the grand grandfather set up the arrangement."

Zhao Xu nodded, still staring at the chessboard, and said, "I want to meet you together before they go out. Chengdu Mansion Road is still too narrow. In this way, let them lead Zizhou Road."

Chengdu Fu Road and Qingtang are at the junction of Chengdu Fu Road, and Zizhou Road is east of Chengdu Fu Road, and the two are close to each other.

The territory of the Song Dynasty was small and there were more than 20 roads. Chengdu Prefecture Road, to put it bluntly, it is the larger Chengdu Prefecture, with a weak overall strength and is not enough to undertake the attack on the Qingtang area.

Zhang Qi did not object, as the combination of the two routes was the established plan of the court.

After careful consideration, he said, "I think you can fight first and deter a wave. Then turn to pursuing the army, wait until the army's combat power comes up, and all aspects follow, and then conquer Qingtang."

"This is the old and successful country."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I agree, I will beat them up first and then talk about it. In addition, the official roads and waterways on the road to Chengdu Mansion should be renovated. If the army cuts down and cannot be resettled for the time being, all the rivers and roads will be built. The policy of "work-for-relief" remains unchanged, and more money and grain are given. In addition, the navy should step up, and the people in Goryeo should also contact more, and like Xia and Liao, they should trade and open roads."

These are not just the scope of power and responsibility of the Privy Council.
