"Are you worried about those civil servants who rule the country on paper and have peace in their dreams?"
Tang Xuanming saw Guo Jing's worry and pointed it out directly.
And his simple and crude comments on the literati also left Guo Jing stunned.
The status of literati in this era was so high that any scholar would receive extremely high courtesy. This was a custom that spread from the royal family to the people.
It even spreads to the entire world, and people who can write and write are always respected by others, even if their kung fu is not very good.
Among the Five Absolutes of the Central Plains, except for Ouyang Feng who was illiterate and who was teased by Huang Rong for practicing the Nine Yin Manual and almost losing his fortune, none of the other Four Absolutes were bad in knowledge and culture.
After all, the Nine Yin Scriptures and the like are all written in traditional Chinese, written by Huang Shang, a former librarian of the Song Dynasty.
Without the corresponding knowledge and culture, most people can't even read it, so don't despise Guo Jing here. He can understand the Jiuyin Scripture at least more than most people in modern times have more knowledge of classical Chinese. He is stupid, big and thick.
Guo Jing is a top student.
Nan Di was proficient in many languages. The final outline of the Nine Yin Manual was written in Sanskrit and was translated by Nan Di.
The martial arts of Huang Yaoshi, the master of Taohua Island, are all named after poems and songs, and Bihai Chaosheng's music is not too high-level. He has surpassed all the people in the world, and even the literati admire him.
Not to mention that the owner of Peach Blossom Island is also proficient in the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Bagua, and can trap the old naughty boy on Peach Blossom Island for many years by setting up an array at will.
In terms of knowledge and culture, many literati cannot compare to the Five Wonders of the Central Plains.
In such an era, Tang Xuanming's words about governing the country on paper, and Anbang's destructive power in his dream, made Guo Jing speechless as thunder rolled from the sky.
If it weren't for the Privy Councilor who said this, Guo Jing would have to teach him how to behave.
"Don't worry about that, I will take care of everything. Didn't you ask the court for soldiers and food before? I brought them all for you."
"The Royal Forest Army is the vanguard, and there are one hundred thousand elite troops from the Song Dynasty behind them. However, those people are walking too slowly, and it will take another half a month to arrive."
Guo Jing was in deep shock, and was speechless for a moment by the huge amount of information.
Tang Xuan clearly continued.
"You don't have to worry about food and grass. The man in Lin'an City promised to give me food and grass that can support the army in fighting on the front line for three years. I will be responsible for all the logistics."
"All you need to do is help me fight, and fight hard. As long as you can defeat Mongolia, I can give you a hereditary and irreplaceable throne, allowing you to break the soil and become a prince in this era."
Guo Jing's head was spinning, and Huang Rong's eyes were bright when she came over after hearing the news.
The Jianghu often denounced the Jianghu people who took refuge in the imperial court as the imperial hawks. In fact, they were able to eat the royal food, making a group of people envious, jealous, and hateful.
He established a relationship with the imperial court, and from then on he was respected wherever he went. The vendettas in the world stayed away from him, and no one dared to kill an official appointed by the emperor.
Just like civil servants in later generations, countless people criticized it, but every year countless people devoted themselves to it like moths to the flame.
As the saying goes - it smells so good!
The quality of Imperial Eagle Claw is beyond your imagination.
If it can truly come under the rule of the imperial court, and it is not the simplest so-called imperial eagle dog, but a prince who can break the earth and make a lord, this will be a great event to honor the ancestors.
It can make the entire martial arts world go crazy.
No matter how big the gang is, no matter how powerful it is, can it be as powerful as an appointment from the imperial court?
Isn't it better than you? No matter how prosperous you are in the world, once you offend the court, you will be surrounded by thousands of soldiers, and no matter how powerful the gang members are, they will die violently.
Today's Jianghu forces are said to be nice, high-ranking and free, but in fact they are the gangsters of later generations.
It's just that their actions are more righteous. These people are eager to be recruited by the court.
"Since my lord has already made arrangements, all I have to do is follow my instructions."
Guo Jing ignored Huang Rong's crazy hints and just gave a straight reply without appearing very excited.
Facing the Mongolian army head-on, he could best understand the power of Mongolia. In such a situation, unless the Song Dynasty had war horses, it could only defend the city and it was impossible to confront the Mongolian army head-on.
As if he understood Guo Jing's thoughts, Tang Xuanming showed a confident smile again.
"I have gathered all the war horses of the Song Dynasty. Although there are only a few thousand of the most elite war horses, they are barely enough."
Guo Jing was slightly excited, but his interest was not very high. War horses were the throat of the Song Dynasty. Mongolia knew this, and the Song Dynasty also knew this.
Therefore, trade with Mongolia has been going on for so many years. Tea cakes and porcelain from the Central Plains are regarded as luxury goods and sold for a sky-high price in the grasslands.
No matter how crazy the grassland nobles are, they will not sell it. It is their lifeblood, and it is strictly prohibited by the Mongolian Emperor Meng Ge. Once discovered, the grassland nobles will be beheaded.
Therefore, over the years, the war horses of the Song Dynasty were either low-quality war horses bred in the south where there was no pasture, or retired and old war horses from Mongolia were imported at high prices as stallions.
In fact, the war horses of the Song Dynasty were far different from the Mongolian war horses.
In a head-on battlefield confrontation, thousands of war horses from the Song Dynasty would be defeated in one blow.
It's like one driving a motorcycle and the other driving a Mercedes-Benz.
Whether it is security, stability or speed, they are all far behind.
Tang Xuanming, as a keyboard expert who often hangs out in forums in later generations, is very familiar with these commonplace issues. He didn't have much worry, he just smiled and patted Guo Jing on the shoulder.
"I know City Lord Guo has a lot of worries, but the Song Dynasty has shown his courage. Next, it depends on the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and the ability of City Lord Guo. One hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty are all controlled by City Lord Guo. I hope City Lord Guo
Do not disappoint me."
As soon as these words came out, Guo Jing could no longer hold his nerve. Huang Rong, who was known for his intelligence, was stunned. He didn't expect that the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty would make such an unconstrained move.
Only Dong Jian, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, did not show the slightest surprise on his face. He still handled the body of King Jinlun with an expressionless expression. However, his fists clenched for no reason and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"This... I'm afraid Guo Jing doesn't have this ability."
Guo Jing frowned, but he didn't accept this great good thing.
Commanding an army of 100,000 men to confront the Mongols head-on, no matter whether they lost or lost the battle, Guo Jing and the 100,000 soldiers of the Song Dynasty were destined to be famous throughout the ages.
But the city lord, who had been asking the court for soldiers and food, refused this request.
