I am Da Song

Chapter 94 The Use of Prisoners

When the servant went to invite the prime minister, Zhao Huan continued to arrange various matters with the two ministers.

The first is the family property that was not obtained by copying the family registration. According to the code, any dynasty, the income from the copying of the home is expensive to the emperor's internal treasury, which is why the emperor loves copying the home.

Today, the defense of Tokyo City is basically supported by the internal treasury and the left treasury. Zhao Huan was not polite, and acted in accordance with the regulations. He told Qin Hui: "All the money obtained from the house raids should be rushed into the left treasury. Grain, charcoal and The confiscated houses will be handed over to the Kaifeng Mansion, and let the Kaifeng Mansion use them to resettle the people."

Qin Hui immediately took orders and said: "The officials are lenient and benevolent. This good government will surely protect tens of thousands of hungry and cold people."

Protecting tens of thousands of people is by no means empty talk, and the mansion of the six thieves alone can accommodate tens of thousands of people.Moreover, Zhao Huan slaughtered the scholar-bureaucrats, and confiscated more than 20 scholar-bureaucrats' mansions, and tens of thousands of people could be housed if they were squeezed together.

The disadvantages of the Song Dynasty summarized in "History of the Song Dynasty" are that the people are poor, the soldiers are weak, the wealth is lacking, and the scholar-bureaucrats are shameless.

This time Zhao Huan reformed taxation and held up the butcher's knife. It was the first time he tried to get rid of the shackles of the scholar-bureaucrats and distribute the wealth of the scholar-bureaucrats to the common people, so as to alleviate the situation of poor people and weak soldiers.

Then Zhao Huan looked at Yue Fei and said: "With the support of tax relief, Qing can continue to expand the scale of recruitment, and the number of new troops will exceed [-] as soon as possible."

Yue Fei took the order solemnly, and then asked: "It is estimated that the Shenwu Youjun can exceed 2 people today. The army is getting bigger and bigger, do we need to form a new army?"

Although the officials plan to break through the new army to 3, Yue Fei still feels that it is inappropriate for him to lead all the new army in Tokyo alone.

According to the tradition of the Song Dynasty, at least a new army should be set up to check and balance.Yue Fei planned to divide 3 soldiers first to form a Shenwu left army, and hand it over to another general appointed by the officials to command.Then the two armies recruited together, breaking through [-].

Zhao Huanman waved his hand indifferently, and said: "There is no need to set up a number. If Qing Yue is not trustworthy in this world, I will never find anyone who can be trusted. You just serve the country faithfully, and I will be yours if you respond to the officials' opinions." .”

Hearing this, Yue Fei saluted Zhao Huan solemnly, saying any words at this time would be superfluous, the only way to repay the king's kindness is to die.

Qin Hui on the side stared at Yue Fei, envy and jealousy almost flowed out of his eyes.As long as he is not a mediocre person, with such trust in officials, at worst, he will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Guangli in the future.Going a step further, it is not hopeless for Huo Qubing, Han Xin, and Li Jing to become a generation of military gods.

After Yue Fei left, Zhao Huan asked Qin Hui, "What do the Jin people want for today's negotiation?"

Qin Hui immediately regained his composure and replied, "I told the officials that the Jinren still scolded us for night raids. However, the Jinren no longer mentioned that the Supreme Being was a hostage, and just asked me to kill Liu Wei, and then both parties made peace."

"Although I don't know the reason, I feel that the Jin people are sincerely negotiating peace and really don't want to continue the fight."

If it was before, Song Qinzong would be so excited and desperate when he heard the news.But Zhao Huan only smiled calmly when he heard the words, and said, "There is only one reason, and that is that the Jin army was hurt! Only the side that is at a disadvantage will keep asking for peace."

"As for the terms of the peace negotiation, does the Jinren expect me to give him millions of taels of silver and tens of thousands of beauties?"

Qin Hui didn't dare to answer.The officials once made a blood oath that the Song Dynasty would not be a minister, would not pay tribute, and would not be in harmony. It is impossible for any old coins, tribute gold, or beautiful women to give the Hulu a single drop.

Jin Jun's current peace negotiation conditions are absolutely unacceptable to the officials.

After a while, Qin Hui said: "The key point of the negotiation between the minister and the Jin people is to get them to retreat to the four walls. At least the Jin army can withdraw to the four walls before the two sides can talk."

This idea is very good and reasonable. If we want peace talks, we should at least stop fighting each other, right?There is no reason to demand peace talks while massacring the people of the Song Dynasty.

But for this goal, Zhao Huan did not report too much expectation.

What cannot be obtained on the battlefield will never be obtained at the negotiating table.

The Jin people have achieved all the strategic goals, and they are still unwilling to retreat. It is nothing more than the pride in the bones of the Jin army. They look down on the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, so they shouted and killed, intending to coerce the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers to disarm and pay tribute to seek peace.

When they feel the fear of being dominated by Yue Fei, everything will be over without talking.

Afterwards, Zhao Huan paid less attention to the peace talks, ordered Qin Hui to step back, and waited for the Prime Minister Zhang Shuye to come over.

As the Privy Councilor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Shuye was not only in charge of the military. A large part of his Privy Council duties also overlapped with the Prime Minister's government affairs. This is a characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the future, Zhao Huan will definitely streamline his powers gradually, but during this war, Zhang Shuye's power is somewhat convenient, for example, he has the power to intervene in matters not related to the war in Tokyo City.

Zhang Shuye already knew the purpose of Zhao Huan's summoning him, so he went to check the situation of the captives, and when he saw Zhao Huan's straightforward introduction, he said, "Officials, there are 520 captives in the city now."

"It's really quite a lot. Where did the prisoners come from?" Zhao Huan asked.

"Most of them were captured by the Shenwu Youjun. This new army is really brave and good at fighting, and it drank blood. Some of them were captured by the students of Tokyo Tai and heroes with ropes."

Zhao Huan was surprised, and said: "I thought that if the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo caught the Jin man, they would definitely torture him to death."

"The heroic men are indeed like this. Most of the captives sent to the inner city have mutilated limbs and arms, and some are even cut into human pigs. The scholars are relatively soft-hearted, and most of them are Liao and Han people."

"How many of these captives are intact?"

Zhang Shuye thought about it carefully, and replied: "The number is not easy to confirm. Many wounded soldiers have been properly taken care of in the wounded barracks, and their injuries have recovered. But there are at least 350 soldiers who are not injured."

"Is there a Jurchen among them? I remember that a few days ago, the Tai students burned the city, and it seems that more than a dozen Jurchens were captured."

"It's 17 people." Zhang Shuye replied with certainty: "Now the CCP has captured 92 Jurchens in the city."

Zhao Huan put on the cotton clothes on the side, and said with a smile: "This is more than one meter. Where are the captives placed? Take me there to have a look."

For the Jurchens, Zhao Huan actually didn't have any special expectations.

In terms of combat power, there is actually not much difference between the Song army and the Jin army, including those forbidden troops on the top of the city who seem to be scared to cry at any time.

The key to victory is the military establishment and fighting will of both sides.

For example, Shenwu Youjun, one of the reasons why he can fight so well is that he is fully staffed.A team of a hundred people is a real hundred people, and their combat power is stronger than that of the Jurchens who are short of preparations.

On the battlefield, this solidity makes the opponent extremely pessimistic and desperate.It is really extremely difficult to defeat a Song army phalanx with high attack and high defense and thick blood bars. It requires a bloody fight, and a long battle is enough to break the morale of an ordinary army.

For example, the night before, the three Jurchens conspired to attack the Song army's defense line, and the Song army did not retreat. Just to kill all these 100 people, the three Jurchens would have to pay huge casualties.

This also led to both the Song and Jin armies overestimating the size of the Shenwu Youjun.His solid 1 people are really too beaten.It is more difficult to defeat these 1 people than to defeat the other 5 Song troops.

For the other Song armies, each phalanx is claimed to have a hundred people, but the actual size may only be five or sixty people, and the armor and weapons are incomplete. A single Jurchen Mouke can destroy a phalanx and cause a complete collapse.

But in the face of Shenwu Youjun, whether Jurchen Mouke can defeat the opponent before the casualty limit is still unknown.

Zhao Huan didn't think that incorporating the Jurchens into the army would increase the combat power of the Shenwu You Army in the street fighting. Even in terms of the conflict between the two sides, it was possible that before the battle broke out, internal fighting broke out and they started killing each other.

But Zhao Huan was very interested in using these captives to disgust the Jin army.
