Wang Lin sighed softly: "Crown Prince, have you heard the words of Li Xiang and the other four? If the official toured Liangzhe in southern China, he would definitely wrap the Southeast wealth and create another country.
By then, you and I will be unable to turn things around, and the Song Dynasty will have to have one way to perish."
Zhao Gou's tender face was full of righteous indignation. He stomped his feet, "Master, I will also go to write a letter to my father and ask him to take back his life!"
Zhao Gou left in anger.
"There is no end to the eggs under the collapse of the nest. For the current plan, we have no second way to go besides resisting the Jin Dynasty." Wang Lin looked up at the blue sky. At this time, the north wind was howling and the temperature was even lower.
Zhao Fujin came up to tighten his cloak and said softly: "My husband, don't be angry. Most of the people in the court now insist on resisting the Jin Dynasty. Everyone knows that we have no choice but to retreat, and we can only survive by fighting to the death!
”
At this time, Guo Zhishun was gone and returned.
Zhao Fujin knew that Guo Zhishun would discuss military and national affairs when he came, so he took Chongde and others to retreat to the back house.
...
After listening to Guo Zhishun's words, Wang Lin fell into silence for a long time.
Sure enough, at the same time, there was a wave of voices moving the capital to Luoyang or Chang'an in the court.
In fact, Wang Lin also had this idea not long ago.
Nothing else, Tokyo's geographical location is really embarrassing.
Located in the heart of the Central Plains, as long as the anti-Jin defense line in Hebei or Hedong is not protected, Tokyo will be directly exposed to the iron hooves of the Jin people.
In a sense, the reason why the Northern Song Dynasty perished was related to the establishment of Kaifeng.
Geographically speaking, Luoyang is undoubtedly a more suitable choice. Luoyang has the dangers of mountains and rivers, and the situation is superior to the world.
But moving is such a arduous and arduous project, and it is a huge cost. It is definitely not a good opportunity to move the capital at this time.
More importantly, Tokyo is the current pit transportation center of the Song Dynasty. Grains and rice in the south will be continuously transported to the capital through the canal. Once the capital is moved, the pit transportation alone will be a huge problem.
So Wang Lin repeatedly weighed and gave up this idea.
In his plan, he will gradually restore Yanyun’s old land in the future, and ultimately realize the pattern of using Youzhou as the capital and remote control of the world.
Just like the Ming people, the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country.
This discussion in the court will definitely not be mainstream.
Because even if the capital is to be moved, the surrendered factions or peace talks will tend to Hangzhou.
However, Li Gang and other pro-war factions would never agree to move the capital.
It is impossible for Guo Zhishun to understand these things. He went back and returned because he was actually doing something else.
Thinking of this, Wang Lin smiled and said, "The matter of moving the capital is not advisable for the time being. Does Xiangke Guo have anything to do?"
Wang Lin waved his hand and ordered someone to say, "Go and invite Yuan'er to meet Guo."
Guo Zhishun hesitated for a long time before he stood up and bowed, "I think that with the respect of the prince, you can just sit in the capital to control the defense of the troops and horses. You must not take this big risk by facing the battle formation lightly!"
At this moment, there were only two of them in the hall. Guo Zhishun called himself a "subject", and obviously he had already started to make suggestions from Wang Lin's position and regarded him as his lord.
Wang Lin shook his head slowly: "Guo Xiang, Gu understands Ya's kindness. But Gu's intentions have been decided.
If I don’t take charge of Hebei personally, it will be difficult for me to gather the hearts of all the generals.
Hebei's defense is crucial. If there is a slight mistake, Tokyo will be insured and your wealth and life will be destroyed."
Guo Zhishun sighed, obviously knowing that Wang Lin's words were difficult to change, and he was just making some suggestions as a plan.
He thought about it and bowed and said, "I still think that the prince of the Western Army in Hedong cannot lose control. In my opinion, he should use thunder means to adjust the teacher's way to defend Hebei, and the general under the prince will take over the command of the Western Army.
To avoid disaster in the future…”
The Zhong family has a grudge against Wang Lin.
Everyone in the world knows it.
Guo Zhishun's words were obviously worried that Wang Lin would not be able to achieve strong control of the Western Army.
After all, the Western Army is known as 300,000 troops, and it is also an important military force that the Song Dynasty cannot ignore at present.
Currently, under Wang Lin, the elite troops of the Shenwu Army, Longxiang Army, and the Fuhu Army, plus the newly recruited, reorganized and gathered Hebei Army, most of the Henan Army, and the local wing army drawn from the southeast are only twenty-five.
About ten thousand people.
Among them, at least 40,000 to 50,000 people must be used to defend the capital to ensure the safety of the situation.
In other words, in terms of military strength, the total strength of Wang Lin's troops is actually not as good as that of the Western Army under Zhong Shidao.
Wang Lin remained silent.
He knew that the Western Army was a big hidden danger and might not obey the order.
But in the Western Army, Liu Yanqing's troops and Wu Lin's troops were basically controlled by Wang Lin. In this way, the soldiers and horses that Zhong Shidao truly commanded were about 150,000.
One of the important factors that Wang Lin could not directly accept Zhao Ji's abdication and became emperor was that the Western Army would have a great risk of rebellion at that time.
Wang Lin said slowly: "Suang Guo, do you have any words to teach me?"
Guo Zhishun bowed deeply.
Just as he was about to speak, Guo Yuan hurried into the hall. When he saw his daughter coming in, Guo Zhishun immediately shut up.
It is related to military and national affairs, how can a woman hear about it?
After Guo Yuan paid homage to her father, she sat obediently beside Wang Lin.
Seeing Guo Zhishun's face hesitant, Wang Lin said calmly: "Guo Xiang said bluntly that Yuan'er and my husband are one, so you don't have to avoid her if you have anything to say."
Guo Yuan was so ashamed that she glanced at Wang Lin with a gentle face.
Guo Zhishun felt a warmth in his heart.
He knew that Wang Lin was sending him a signal of trust.
Guo Zhishun settled his mind: "I think there are three strategies to deal with the Western Army."
When Guo Yuan heard that her father called herself a minister, she jumped in her heart, but she lowered her head and pretended not to hear anything.
"The sons of the Zongshidao and the descendants of the Zong family entered Hebei as generals, and were properly placed, and were directly controlled by the prince. Later, the Qingzhou generals were transferred to the Western Army as commanders to achieve a smooth transition. This is the best strategy."
"The generals under the prince led a unit of the Eastern Army to control Hebei to control the Western Army. The rest of the Eastern Army were replaced by the Eastern Army to defend Hedong. This is the central strategy."
"In the name of entering Beijing to report on his duties, he transferred to the court. He dismissed from office as a civilian, and selected other good generals to join the Western Army as the main generals. This is the worst strategy."
Guo Zhishun proposed three solutions to the Zhong family army.
In fact, even though he said that, the third thing he really agreed with was the third one, which was to directly deceive Master Zhong and even kill him to eliminate future troubles.
By then, even if some generals of the Western Army rebelled, they would not be able to become a climate.
After all, the food, fodder and salary of the Western Army were all stuck in the imperial court.
Wang Lin pondered silently.
The Zhong family has been in charge of the Western Army for nearly a hundred years and has been a general for generations.
Especially in the past three to five years, the brothers of Zhong Shidao have been commanded by the Western Army, and the children of the Zhong family are spread throughout the army and have a deep foundation.
Master Zhong must not be moved easily.
Furthermore, it is the time to use people, and slaughtering the children of seed families is not conducive to the formation of a united front against the Jin Dynasty.
It was just that Master Zhong died at his hands, and the resentment of the children of the Zong family towards him was beyond words, and the hatred was difficult to resolve.
If he proclaims himself emperor, the Zong family army will rebel.
This hidden danger must be solved sooner or later.
In fact, he had the idea of replacing Zong Ze with Master Zhong.
But Zongze was a civil official after all, although he was capable and had a strong style, but he entered the Western Army alone, just like a sheep entering a pack of wolves, which was difficult to play a role.
He is planning to place some of the children of the military officials in the court into the Western Army in the near future, which is actually laying the foundation for the disposal of Zong Shidao and the children of the Zong family.
There was even a case of drawing overseas Chao Gai and others back and filling them into the Western Army to enhance their voice in the Western Army.
But Chao Gai's man was a chess piece that he was ambushing for the way back.
If he really has no choice but to retreat, retreating overseas is his last move to protect his family.
Thinking of this, Wang Lin said in a deep voice: "Secretary Guo, let me think about the affairs of the Western Army again. Hedong defense is crucial. If it causes turmoil in the Western Army, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Guo Zhishun nodded: "That's natural. I still have two people who want to recommend it to the prince. These two are both literary and military, which are of great use."
"Please speak with Mr. Guo."
"First, the Censor Zhang Jun. This man is young and strong, diligent in serving the country, loyal, brave and resolute, and has extraordinary talent."
Wang Lin's eyes lit up: "I know this person. A Jinshi from Zhenghe for eight years, a native of Sichuan, whose courtesy name is Deyuan?"
Guo Zhishun was very surprised.
He didn't expect that Wang Lin knew Zhang Jun's existence.
This person is his direct subordinate and has a close relationship and regards him as his teacher.
Guo Zhishun quickly ran into the railway while the hot: "In Beijing, I serve as the censor. However, please rest assured. This person is upright. Although he is the censor, he has never followed the trend and impeached Zhongliang."
Guo Zhishun knew that Wang Lin hated the censors deeply, so he quickly explained that Zhang Jun had not framed him.
Wang Lin smiled and said, "Even if I have impeached me, it's okay. I know this person is a talented person and is quite famous. I am worried that no one in the Grand Marshal's Mansion can be used, and this person is quite appropriate."
Guo Zhishun was overjoyed and stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Prince!"
Wang Lin waved his hand: "Where is one more person?"
In the court and in the power field, there have always been factions between each other. Guo Zhishun gradually became a climate, and it is common sense to recommend his own people to become one.
Since he is a famous minister of a generation, he can use it.
In Guo Zhishun's eyes, this is what Wang Lin showed to him.
He paused and said, "There is another person who is the servant of the Hemen. He is from the general. He is brave and good at fighting, and is proficient in shooting skills. He can be a general. This son, who is here, is waiting in front of the palace. Call."
"Liu Qi? Is it the son of Liu Zhongwu, the former governor of Luchuan?
“That’s right!”
Wang Lin laughed: "This is a talented general, Guo Xiang, you have no selfishness to recommend talents to the country. Sure enough, I didn't see you wrongly. Invite him in."
Guo Zhishun's face turned slightly red and his heart was excited.
There is still selfishness.
However, Zhang Jun and Liu Qi, whom he recommended, were both useful people and future famous officials and generals.
...
Liu Qi walked in slowly wearing a moon-white long gown, with a respectful expression and bowed to the courtesy: "I pay homage to the prince!"
Wang Lin looked deep.
Sure enough, he looks handsome and sounds like a bell.
As a general, Liu Qi was now a trivial minor official under the Secretariat of the Secretariat in the capital. Of course, he had seen Wang Lin many times, but Wang Lin had seen him for the first time.
Wang Lin stood up and smiled and said, "Uncle Xin, please sit down."
Liu Qi was stunned and was at a loss for a moment.
One is Wang Lin’s courtesy to him, and the other is that Wang Lin actually knew his words.
And those who know his name in Beijing are only old friends with elders like Guo Zhishun.
"Sit down, you and I are of the same age, so there is no need to be polite. I know that you have been with your father since childhood and are good at riding and shooting. Now I am going to Hebei to use people. If you have the intention, you can follow me to Hebei for the time being to take charge of the big picture.
The Marshal's Mansion is a general, and he will be in charge of his own army for one day in the future."
Liu Qi was almost ecstatic.
Guo Zhishun recommended him to visit Wang Lin to seek promotion, but he actually didn't expect much.
With his current nameless origin and family background decline, how could Wang Lin value him?
result……
Not only did Wang Lin treat him with courtesy, he also directly wanted to put him next to the general's house for training, which almost made him reach the top in one step.
