I am Da Song

Chapter 8 Mastering the Military Food City

Zhao Huan's trusting attitude made Liu Fan very grateful, tears filled his eyes, and he said solemnly: "Before the minister is smashed to pieces, he will never let the thieves step into the forbidden zone."

"The current situation is difficult. I only hope that I can work together with Qing and others to overcome the national disaster." Zhao Huan looked at Liu Bian and said solemnly.

Looking at the high-spirited official family, the privy secretary made Zhang Shuye feel a lot. After returning from the Jinjun camp, the official family seemed to be a different person.

Previously, the officials said that they were shocked and afraid of Jin Kejun, and they were submissive.But today's official family is like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, showing its sharpness.Even if it might hurt Da Song, it would definitely hurt Jin Guo.

As for whether the official family was replaced by the golden man and civet cat for the prince.

This thought did not exist in Zhang Shuye's mind for a moment.How stupid must the Jin people be to replace the Song Dynasty officials with such a staunch and decisive person with an extremely tough attitude towards the Jin army?
After Liu Fan left, he went to the four walls to deploy military defenses.Zhang Shuye said: "Officials, the court's attitude has suddenly changed from seeking peace to resolutely fighting. The attitude of the officials must not be ignored. Although the officials frightened the officials with thunder and iron last night, when the officials slowed down Vigorous, the peace faction will surely counterattack frantically."

Zhao Huan sneered and said, "The imperial court? Hundred officials? They are all a group of people who can be killed."

"Besides, Shenjing is besieged. The only area under the jurisdiction of the imperial court is the inner city. What's the use of all the officials?"

Zhao Huan, as a person of later generations, naturally behaves with a distinct style of later generations.High school politics textbooks make it very clear that in doing things, we must grasp the main contradiction, that is, the factors that are in a dominant position and play a decisive role in the development of things.

The situation in Jingkang was a mess, and Zhao Huan had no time to fight with officials, play political struggles, and intrigue.All the energy is put on the three aspects of absolute dominance, namely the army, money and food, and administration.

These three aspects are easy to understand, and they are also the only directions that Zhao Huan can control strongly.

The 1 troops in the army have been counted by Zhang Shuye and Liu Fan, and they are directly under the command.According to the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, no one in this world could transfer these 1 people from the hands of Emperor Zhao Huan and the privy envoys.

There is no need to rely on hundreds of officials for money and food. The city of Kaifeng was destroyed, and almost all the funds from the treasury were given to the Jin Army.The entire operation of Tokyo even depends on Naizang, the emperor's treasury.

The centralization of power in the Song Dynasty was comprehensive, and fiscal centralization was also a prominent feature.The emperor personally controlled the internal treasury. Its many items, high income, wide expenditure, and special functions are unmatched by all dynasties in the Central Plains for 5000 years.

The fiscal surplus of the state treasury is all sealed into the internal treasury (it is not the internal treasury behind the Jiangwu Hall, and all the surplus at the end of the year will be included in it.) Later, the Song Dynasty simply established a system, and the national tax must first be paid to the internal treasury. , and then the rest is considered the national tax.

It is precisely because of this that Song Taizong sighed when he inspected the inner treasury: "This gold and silk are like mountains, how can we use them up?"

What is the concept of gold and silk like a mountain?For example, a group of barbarians from the Jin Army went south to invade the Central Plains, and they had no concept of wealth.He asked for one billion taels of silver, 1000 million taels of gold, and [-] million pieces of silk.

The barren imagination of the golden man felt that this was the acme of wealth in the world.1000 million pieces of silk and one billion taels of silver are an order of magnitude of wealth.However, Da Song did not have one billion taels of silver.However, there are more than 400 million pieces of silk in the inner library of the Song Dynasty.

Twenty-one days ago, the Kaifeng government began to organize the transfer of silk to the Jin army, and there was an endless stream of bearers, chariots and horses for dozens of days.

But even so, Zhao's internal treasury still has 400 million bolts of silk.On February 400th before the Jin army withdrew, they searched the accounts of the internal treasury and found that there was still silk left, and ordered the Kaifeng government to send the remaining [-] million pieces of silk and the missing concubines and princesses to the Jin army camp.

The Song Dynasty was not without wealth. If the 400 million bolts of silk could be distributed to the army, each soldier of the lowest rank would also be able to distribute [-] bolts of silk.With this kind of incentive, even if the Jin army died under the city wall, they might not be able to break through the city wall.

The final administrative power is in the hands of the Kaifeng government.Zhao Song was one of the regimes at the peak of the civil government, and the administrative operation ability of Kaifeng Mansion simply subverted the cognition of the later world.

The Jin army besieged Tokyo for nearly half a year, and the operation of Kaifeng Mansion still did not collapse.

And as long as Zhang Shuye and Liu Fan are sent to control the army, Li Ruoshui will lead Kaifeng Mansion to control the inner city, and then he will control the inner treasury.Just a few people in this key position can lead the entire inner city defense battle without having to contact those redundant officials in the court.

Usually, the emperor can't control the whole world because there are too many levels and vertical management is implemented, and orders have to be issued layer by layer by officials.

But now the area to be governed is only one billionth of what it used to be. If you implement flat management and reduce the number of management levels, you will be able to obtain the strongest control effect and the highest administrative efficiency.

Zhang Shuye shook his head immediately after hearing Lord Zhao Huan's idea of ​​seizing money, food, and the city, and resolutely said: "Your Majesty, this deployment is beneficial and effective, but it is not in line with politics and sentiment. Your Majesty, think again and again."

Zhang Shuye's suggestion also exposed Zhao Huan's biggest flaw today, which is his lack of experience in political struggle.Relying entirely on the emperor's majesty and tough threats, he exerted extreme pressure on officials, soldiers and civilians.

Zhao Huan only traveled for a few hours, and the whole city of Tokyo was about to rain, and the officials were under heavy pressure.Every official can feel as if there is a sharp knife hanging above his head, which may be cut off at any time, so that he will lose his official position and die.

This is also something that can't be helped. After all, Zhao Huan was just an ordinary student in his previous life, and his biggest advantage is that he has an unforgettable memory of Jingkang's difficulties.With this kind of qualifications, just after time travelling, he is completely unable to solve the intrigues of the court, and he doesn't even have a deep understanding of the characters and abilities of the ministers in the court.

The best solution that can be achieved is to place the ministers you know well, those who have proved their loyalty with life and death in history, in key positions after determining the main battle strategy.

Of course, this is probably a must-have skill for every traveler.

Fortunately, Zhao Huan was only relatively innocent, but he was not stupid. When encountering shortcomings, he immediately asked for advice humbly, and asked: "Since the Prime Minister also thinks that this arrangement is beneficial to the country's affairs, how can we improve it?"

Zhang Shuye raised his head slightly, glanced at the officials who were thirsty for knowledge, with hesitation on his face.After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "It is not up to the minister to speak out about the strategy of speech. But the officials treat the minister as a national scholar, and how dare the minister avoid it because of life and death. The minister dared to suggest that to keep Tokyo, only a few people such as officials and ministers , The power is weak. Officials should gather all the sages in the court to work together to help the country. "

Gather all the sages of the court, work together, and help the country together?

Zhao Huan frowned, why did Zhang Shuye repeat his words?
Even the group of ministers who had no bottom line in the Northern Song Dynasty deserved to be called Qunxian?

To be honest, even Qin Hui, the minimum limit of ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty, was much higher than the upper limit of this group of ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty.

What kind of traitor is Qin Hui?If he dared to appear in front of Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan would push his head into the bucket with his own hands.

However, during the Qinzong Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui firmly expressed his cowardly attitude towards Song Qinzong's claim that the Jin army who committed crimes against the South should not be too cowardly, which made the Song Dynasty distracted and weakened.

He also wrote a letter about four things about military aircraft: calling hundreds of officials to discuss in detail, strengthening defenses, placing Jin envoys outside the city, and cutting the land along the Yanshan Mountain at most.

After the Jin army besieged the city, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty summoned hundreds of officials to discuss countermeasures in the Hall of Yanhe. Fan Zongyin and other 70 people agreed to cede the land, while Qin Hui and other 36 people disagreed.Therefore, Qin Hui was also promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng, in charge of the entire Northern Song court's admonishment, and became one of the most powerful people in the Northern Song Dynasty.A soft bone like Qin Hui could be in charge of the most loyal and staunch admonishment department of the Northern Song Dynasty court. It is conceivable how corrupt the other ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty were.

In the end, Nianhan deposed Song Qinzong and asked the Song Dynasty to change his surname to emperor Zhang Bangchang.A group of ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty obeyed their promises and dared not disobey.Qin Hui also wrote a book denouncing the Jin army's treachery. The original text was upright and awe-inspiring: "If Zhang Bangchang must be established as emperor, can the people of the capital be obeyed? Can the people of the world be obeyed? The eldest son of the capital can be destroyed, but the eldest son of the world cannot be destroyed!"

As far as his performance during the Jingkang crisis is concerned, if the group of ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty can also be regarded as a group of sages, then Qin Hui can almost be regarded as a saint in the world.These ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty are more disgusting than each other, so stop disgusting yourself.

and many more!

What if Qin Hui could be considered a saint?

Suddenly, Zhao Huan's eyes lit up, and he felt that he understood what Zhang Shuye meant.

Who said that a group of sages must be a real sage?
Only children can distinguish between good and bad, and adults can only distinguish between positions.

As long as the other party firmly supports him and takes the main position, even if he is groveling, disgusting and cowardly, he should try his best to win him over.

On the other hand, even if the other party has the courage of a million men, but every day clamoring for peace, shaking the morale of the army, it must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Huan immediately understood what Zhang Shuye meant by working together.Even if he takes charge of the army, internal treasury, and city defense, there is no need to push all the court officials to the opposite side.After all, these civil officials said that they don't have much ability to do things, but their ability to corrupt one thing is stronger than the other.Not enough success, more than failure, it is they who are talking about.

At least support a group of main fighters in the court, and let these main fighters cheer for their strength in the court.In that way, waiting for the defense of the city is not a willful act, but a consensus of the court and the hope of the world.At least not everyone will obstruct the national strategy openly and secretly.

Haven't seen the pig run, haven't you eaten pork yet?
Zhao Huan said with a faint smile: "I heard that politics always wins over the majority and defeats the minority. Regarding the courtiers, do you have any recommendations for the minister?"

"Win the majority and attack the few? The words of the officials can be said to be penetrating." Zhang Shuye said in admiration after hearing the words: "The officials of the court know very little, but there is a loyal person, and the minister dares to risk his life. Guaranteed to be recommended by officials."

"Oh? Who is it that wins the shuxiang so trustworthy? But the shuxiang knows and makes old friends?"

"Reporting to the official family, this person has only met twice, but his loyalty is clearly evident, and he will never let down the trust of the official family."
