Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 369 Convinced by his own wise and martial arts
When returning from Bianshui, the emperor's army was at Chenqiao post station. The team did not go through Fengqiu Gate in the north as usual, but went through Shuimen. Shi Congyun wanted to see the real life of the people in Daliang.

The night before, because the sky was getting dark and it was too late to return to Beijing, Sheng Jia stayed at Chengqiao Station. Shi Congyun walked around the station casually, probably because of the famous name, he suddenly thought of Zhao Kuangyin who had been left idle.

When it comes to Chenqiaoyi, it's hard not to think of the Chenqiao Mutiny, and when it comes to the Chenqiao Mutiny, it's hard not to think of Zhao Kuangyin.

At the edge of a pond behind the post station, Shi Congyun beckoned to Wang Zhong, who was in charge of patrolling the capital, and casually asked about the recent situation of the Zhao family.

"Their family sold a lot of their belongings, and their life is not as rich as before." Wang Zhong immediately replied, he is the inspector of the capital, and he also controls the military power in the capital when he goes out to fight. He is the most well-informed about the news in the capital.

"Zhao Kuangyin was a favored minister in the previous dynasty. Not to mention his little salary, he didn't know how much he was rewarded by the previous emperor. Now it is different. The officials gave him a false position. He had a salary but no favor and reward. He Zhao Kuangyi was dismissed from office. How could there still be the scenery of the past.

All of this is his own fault. The government gave him such a good opportunity, but he didn't know what to do and followed Zhang Yongde. Who can blame him for this. "Wang Zhong said without hesitation, "That's still the benevolence of the officials, so let me say less and send him to dig out the bird's nest. "

Shi Congyun also laughed, and then said: "But I have always been a capable person. It is a waste to be idle like this. Now the limelight has passed and the court has stabilized. The various envoys can't make any waves. I was so worried before.

Many people can pick it up and use it again.”

"Then Zhao Kuangyin is really good at fighting." Wang Zhong curled his lips, "But he is too good at talking, even better at fighting than him, so he doesn't look like an honest man."

Shi Congyun nodded. Wang Zhong was right, so he stopped thinking about it and didn't take it to heart: "Let's see and talk about it."

"How are Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde doing when I'm not around?" The question was serious, and Wang Zhong didn't dare to smile and became serious.

If Zhao Kuangyin was just an unlucky general who stood in the wrong team in everyone's mind, then Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde were relatives of the former emperor and leading generals. Their status and identity were very sensitive, and the emperor mainly guarded against them.

Wang Zhong thought for a while, and then said: "The two of them are very honest in the capital. The officials also gave them official salaries and rewards. Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin basically don't move around in the capital, living their wealthy lives. .

In contrast, Li Chongjin also likes to lead his entourage to hunt, but he rarely communicates with other people. "

Shi Congyun nodded, with some judgment in his heart, "Li Chongjin is a man who can fight, it's a pity."

"The officials think it's a pity to bring him here to fight, but he can't do it anyway." Wang Zhong said carelessly.

Shi Congyun shook his head: "You know what, his identity is there, it's very troublesome."

"Then I don't understand." Wang Zhong shook his head.

"After you go back, you go to Yicang to get [-] coins and send them to Zhao Kuangyin, saying that the emperor rewarded you."

"Promise!" Wang Zhong took the order, and then murmured, "Isn't this a waste of money?"

The next day, after returning to Beijing, Shi Congyun immediately prepared to do a big event.

The Privy Council was convened, and the officials of the three divisions discussed a major event.

When he led the little girl to the side hall of the Chui Gong Hall, Wei Renpu, Wang Pu, Fan Zhi, Luqiu Zhongqing and others were already waiting.

After entering, Shi Congyun said out of habit: "Excuse me."

Then he went directly to the top, pointed to a huge map hanging on the front of the side hall, "I came to you today to talk about the general plan for the future, the river east has been set, and the northern defense line has retreated to the north of Yanmen Pass, which is stable enough.

I said that the south should be first and then the north, and this has not changed. I want to attack the south first, and send troops to the north because of the situation.

Now I want to return to the army and focus on running the south, but I have been in the army, and I know that a strong and huge navy is necessary to fight the great river in the future.

I am going to train the navy and expand the army. The current court navy is still insufficient. I plan to train the sailors by the Bian River, expand the army to about 4 people, and maintain the navy strength at the early [-].

In the future, sending troops to the south can be done with ease, and this kind of thing can't be done all at once, at least a few years in advance to prepare for training. "

"Official Shengming!"

"The official's vision is outstanding, and he really has a vision. We have no objection." This time, even the stubborn old man Fan Zhi didn't say much, and immediately agreed.

Shi Congyun also expected this. After all, the number of Qin's troops is indeed gradually unable to keep up with the expansion speed. The expansion of the army is imperative, otherwise it will be difficult to match the current size of Qin. However, he also has his own plans.
"I have thought about it for a long time. The matter of the navy needs to be done by professionals. The so-called specialization in the art industry, it is inevitable that it will be difficult for the northern generals to train the navy. In the end, the loss outweighs the gain. It is said that Liu Renshan and others are here to supervise and train the navy."

Seeing from Yun Tu, Shi Cong expressed his own thoughts. With the expansion of the empire's territory, he also had to use a trade-off. It is also gradually necessary to give power to the southerners, otherwise the country will be unstable and unbalanced.

"Officials, Guo Ting said that he is a veteran, but Liu Renshan is a surrendered general. Besides, the Northern Division is good at fighting. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a general from the south of the Yangtze River to manage such a major event." Wang Pu said hesitantly.

"Officials, I have a lot of capable ministers and generals, why use a surrendered general, besides, people in Jiangnan are very cunning and cunning, and they are afraid of trouble."

"."

Shi Congyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, good guy, they have all risen to the regional attack, waved his hands, "Jiangnan water town, when I fought against the Southern Tang Kingdom, I felt that their land troops were not our opponents, but the navy is outstanding, Liu Ren Although I was very annoyed when I opposed me at the beginning, it just shows that he is capable and talented.

Furthermore, if I want to conquer the world, I have to look at the world, whether it is in the south of the Yangtze River or the Southern Han Dynasty, from now on it will be the land of our dynasty, and they are all the people of our own country, no matter what the difference, they should be treated equally!
You can't be confused about this matter. The world is one family, and the world is united. This is the general trend. "

What he said was righteous and impassioned. On the side of righteousness, many officials could only nod.

What Shi Congyun wanted was this effect. As he conquered the south, he had to gradually lean south politically, and place important officials from the south in the court. Otherwise, when the army occupied Jiangnan, the court would not be able to represent the interests of Jiangnan. When there are important officials, it is very likely that there will be an imbalance, leading to national turmoil and a decline in control over the south.

The so-called "take one step and look at five steps" is not only about military preparations, but also politically, the Emperor Shi also began to make inclinations for future strategies. Sometimes he had to be convinced by his own brilliance and prowess
