Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 391 New Year’s Eve, Song Jinhe
"I didn't expect that the majestic emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty would make peace with the Kingdom of Jin. Compared with Marshal Yue and others, he is extremely unwilling to do so, right?"

The news brought by Gao Yuniang made Liu Wei temporarily stop thinking about the source of iron ore.Although he had already guessed that the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty would negotiate peace this year, he never thought about interfering or preventing it.

Although the peace talks between the two countries will inevitably have an impact on Liu Wei's future development, but in history, even Yue Fei and Han Shizhong failed to prevent this from happening. I can't imagine changing anything.

Of course, it would not be unreasonable for Liu Wei to think about Zhao Gou's peace talks with Jin Guo from Zhao Gou's standpoint.

The Song and Jin Dynasties, since the Northern Song Dynasty, have fought again and again, with countless casualties.

Even if the loss of money and property is put aside, the war between the two countries has actually reached the point where it has to cease fighting based on the number of soldiers who died in battle.

Although the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty has risen, it can be resisted, and even slightly surpassed the Kingdom of Jin. After all, the formation of the Yue Family Army means that a strong military force has begun to exert its strength. The annexation of the Southern Song Dynasty by the State, or the counterattack by the Southern Song Dynasty to the Jin State, would mean a loss of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people. As far as the current population of the two countries is concerned, no one side can afford such a loss.

The Southern Song Dynasty was economically stronger than the Jin Dynasty, but it did not mean that these population losses could be ignored. As for the Jin Dynasty, the geographical situation was more severe than that of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Jin Danzi took advantage of the opportunity of the imperial conquest to implement a strategy of getting rid of the control of the Jin Kingdom. Although the Jin Kingdom was able to take over the original and puppet Qi regions without bloodshed, it would not take five to ten years to truly firmly control these places. , can't do it at all.After all, the Jurchen tribe is just a small tribe, coupled with insufficient education, there is a serious lack of management talents in the Jurchen tribe, and they are simply not competent to control the vast land. How to establish an effective management model is an urgent need for the Kingdom of Jin to solve question.

Since Jin Guo is willing to negotiate a peace, Zhao Gou has no reason to object.It's not that many people think that Zhao Gou lacks blood and has no concept of ancestors. In fact, it is precisely because Zhao Gou stands on the position of his emperor's family that he made such a decision, and Qin Yu and others are actually just executors.

These truths, no matter in the present or later generations, very few people can really understand them. They often blame Zhao Gou when Yue Fei was murdered.

Now that this era has come, Liu Yi doesn't want to tell who is right and who is wrong. Now that the news of the peace talks between the two countries has reached his ears, it means that the peace negotiations have begun to come to the fore. Formulate corresponding measures.

"Yu Niang, how is the recruiting work going?"

Frowning, Liu Wei didn't intend to discuss with Gao Yuniang about the Jin-Song peace negotiation anymore. Since no one came to trouble him now, he should concentrate on developing his own power. These days, strength determines everything.

"It's okay. From the Spring Festival to now, we have recruited a total of [-] new recruits, but people from outside continue to pour into Yizhou. If we continue with the previous land policy, we may not have any new recruits by the end of the year." The land is registered to those civilians."

"Are the fertile land that we have now almost exhausted?"

This question was unexpected to Liu Wei. He originally expected that the existing land in Yizhou would be tense after three years.

"The main reason is that you don't restrict the entry of people. In the past three months, the number of people who have poured into Yizhou from other places has exceeded 20!"

"20?"

Don't think that the population of any prefecture-level city in China in later generations will be several times that of 20. In this era, a population of 20 is enough for a small power to slowly develop into a big power.Before Liu Wei occupied Yizhou, the population of the entire Yizhou Prefecture was only about 40. That is to say, in these three months, the population of Liu Wei's forces increased by 50.00%!

Although the increase in population will bring demographic dividends, the rapid increase in population will inevitably involve a sharp increase in resource consumption. How to ensure that the supply capacity of these resources is simultaneously improved is a matter that will test the ruler's ability to control.

Of course, with the current natural resources of Yizhou Prefecture, it can still handle it in the future, but as Gao Yuniang said, if the population continues to increase at this rate, then by the end of the year, the natural resources of Yizhou Prefecture will begin to increase. There is a shortage!
The shortage of resources will bring a series of problems, and the emergence of these problems will inevitably cause the people to be dissatisfied with Liu Wei, the ruler, and the social system that has just been established will be in a major crisis because of this.

"Liu Wei, our next step is to expand?"

Yizhou is the core of Bashu.Whether it is east, west, north, south, there is still enough room for Liu Wei to expand. The only question is, how will the Southern Song court view Liu Wei's expansion?

Especially at this critical moment when the two countries are negotiating peace, if the Southern Song court is determined to fight Liu Wei, how will Liu Wei face it?

It's nothing more than an ordinary general calling, but if the imperial court ordered Yue Fei to come, how would Liu Wei deal with himself?

"Yu Niang, do you have any information about Dali Kingdom? Go back and sort it out and send me a copy!"

"Dali Kingdom?"

Liu Wei's words made Gao Yuniang frowned slightly, and said, "Husband, why do you want information about Dali Kingdom, is it possible?"

"Well, after much deliberation, we can't touch Zhao Gou's overly sensitive nerves for the time being. Since the north and east sides can't work, then we can only look for expansion space towards the west and south!"

"However, if we want to take Dali, we still need to go south. We can't bypass places like Jiading!"

"No!"

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "We didn't go south directly, I will let Shifu lead the army, go west first, then go south!"

Starting from Yizhou Mansion, go to the west first, which is the tribes of Tubo. Obviously, Liu Wei wanted Li Shifu, who was once a powerful man in the tribes of Tubo, to lead his army to capture some tribes of Tubo first, expand his own power, and at the same time take the road to the south. In the end, to fight against the Dali Duan family, at least from the hands of the Dali Duan family, Panzhihua of later generations must be taken down, and it will become the source of raw materials in the future, killing birds with one stone.

However, Gao Yuniang is not very in favor of such a plan.

Today, Liu Wei's forces are under pressure from the east, north, and south, but they are all members of the Southern Song Dynasty. But if they act according to the strategic plan Liu Wei just mentioned, it means that in the near future, the Liu family will The number of enemies changed from one to three.

Whether it is Tubo or Dali Duan, they are not easy to mess with.

The current ruler of the Duan Clan in Dali is the Xiandi Duan Zhengyan, and the previous emperor was Duan Zhengchun, the "Merry Emperor" who is well known to later generations.

Of course, Duan Zhengchun's love affair is fictional in martial arts novels. Although the area where the Duan family is located in Dali has many ethnic minorities and different customs from the Central Plains Confucianism-educated area, such absurd things as in the novel will not occur. After all, Dali The Duan family lasted until Duan Zhengchun's period, and had already experienced the development of seventeen emperors for 170 years, and already had their own emperor's rules.

Duan Zhengyan is indeed Duan Zhengchun's son, and he has another name, Duan Zhengyu, and his uncle is Duan Zhengming, who was also the emperor of Dali Kingdom.

In history, Duan Zhengyu lived to be 94 years old and reigned for 39 years. Among all the emperors of the Dali Dynasty, he lived the longest and reigned for the longest time.Of course, Liu Wei does not believe that Duan Zhengyu lived so long because he practiced "Six Meridians Excalibur" and married Wang Yuyan. After all, it was just a plot in the novel. , can be called a generation of famous emperors.

Duan Zhengyu, 47 years old this year, was at the time when R&F was strong. Although the Dali Duan Dynasty has always had low ambitions for external expansion, it can also demonstrate its extraordinary strength by being able to integrate this region with many ethnic minorities like a monolith.

It is precisely because Gao Yuniang has relatively rich information in her hands that she expresses doubts about the strategic plan proposed by Liu Wei.

"Yu Niang, it's actually not as difficult as you imagined at this time, and it's not a decision I made on a whim." Liu Wei shook his head. He knew that if he didn't speak clearly today, Gao Yuniang might object. Stick to it.

"How do you say that?" Sure enough, Gao Yuniang frowned, and asked Liu Shuo to tell the reason.

"The golden marble, but went to Guiyang?"

"Last month, it was reported that Jin Danzi had been besieging Guiyang City for a month, and finally had to withdraw because of the extra troops sent by the imperial court, and the imperial army was following the puppet Qi army. decisive battle."

When Gao Yuniang said that, Liu Wei nodded slowly, "Of course. The imperial court was able to make peace with the Kingdom of Jin. It was forced by pressure, and we were able to acquiesce in our existence. It was because we were Song people, and in the eyes of the imperial court, we were just small The rebellion can be suppressed by turning the palm of your hand, but the court cannot tolerate Jin Danzi raising troops in the hinterland, just because the court will be worried that Jin Danzi is actually a pawn arranged by Jin Guo, and it is the foreshadowing of Jin Guo's annexation of the Southern Song Dynasty!"

"It's reasonable for you to say that, but what does the golden marble have to do with the strategy you just mentioned?"

Hearing Gao Yuniang's question, Liu Wei smiled lightly and said, "Of course it has something to do with it."

"Then hurry up and say it, don't play tricks, don't say it again, be careful of me."

"Why, do you still need family law to serve you? Well, Li Shifu happens to be in the city today, so why don't you go and inform them to come here, so I won't waste my time!"

It seems that Liu Wei is now determined not to continue talking. Although Gao Yuniang has a hot personality, she still does not dare to be too presumptuous. In desperation, she can only give Liu Wei a hard look, and then go to pass the order. Summon the generals who are currently in the city to discuss this matter together.

"If you can't satisfy me for a while, be careful that I will let you stand in front of them, and you won't be able to step down!"

Before leaving, Gao Yuniang still didn't forget to give Liu Wei a warning, which made Liu Wei laugh again and again, but she didn't dare to answer any more.
