The Song Dynasty is no longer the Song Dynasty that had no information before.
After Kou Ji captured Hexi and opened the door for the Song Dynasty in the Western Regions, the Song Dynasty paid attention to the Western Regions.
In addition to the official envoys who went to various countries in the Western Regions from time to time, Zhao Zhen also secretly sent many people to sneak into the Western Regions.
Zhao Zhen knew about the news that the Black Khan Dynasty had millions of troops, and so did the civil and military ministers.
In the past, the Xizhou Uighurs were in the way, so the Song Dynasty did not need to worry about the troops and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty appearing in the Song Dynasty.
But now Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty actually sent someone to contact the Black Han Dynasty and planned to help the Black Khan Dynasty send troops to attack the Xizhou Uighurs.
Two powerful dynasties attacked the Xizhou Uighurs together, and the possibility of the Xizhou Uighurs being destroyed was extremely high.
Once the Xizhou Uighurs are destroyed.
The Song Dynasty was about to face the million-strong army of the Black Khan Dynasty.
The million-strong army of the Black Khan Dynasty was, strictly speaking, not one million.
Because they are all soldiers, as long as they can stand on horseback and wield swords, guns, swords and halberds, they are warriors.
So a million-strong army is very watery.
But even so, it's not easy to deal with.
If the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom launched an attack on the Song Dynasty, it would be a huge trouble for the Song Dynasty.
"Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao is a very proud person, and he is actually willing to lower his head and cooperate with the Black Khan Dynasty..."
Kou Ji sighed sincerely.
Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "If I was dying and saw a powerful enemy around me eyeing him, I would do the same thing."
Kou Ji sighed: "For the sake of our children and grandchildren, Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty can really understand."
People often say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don't work for them.
Everyone can understand the truth, but how many people can really leave their children and grandchildren alone?
Before Kou Tianci was born, Kou Ji felt that he would not do anything extraordinary for his children and grandchildren in the future.
But after Kou Tianci was born, and watching the little guy grow up little by little, Kou Ji discovered that there was a lot he could do for the little guy.
For example, if the little guy got into some big trouble, he would risk his life to save the little guy's life.
Therefore, Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty joined forces with the Black Khan Dynasty for the sake of his son Yelu Zongzhen's throne. He understood it very well.
But understanding is understanding and will not affect the relationship between the two parties.
Both sides are still enemies, fighting to the death.
"Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty has joined forces with the Black Khan Dynasty, so we have to make preparations early..."
"I have secretly sent people to closely monitor the movements of Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao and the Khans of the Black Khan Dynasty. If they make any trouble, I will receive the news."
Kou Ji nodded and said seriously: "You have to be careful about Qingtang too."
"Qingtang?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully, he sighed: "Qingtang should be guarded against. With the support of our Song Dynasty military weapons, Jiao Siluo has gradually pacified the other Tubo clans in Qingtang.
Now Qingtang has been managed into a monolithic territory by him.
It can end the chaos among various tribes in Tubo and unify Tubo.
Jiao Siluo can be regarded as a distinguished person."
Although Qingtang's strength has doubled under Jiao Siluo's management, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, Qingtang's protagonist Si Luo is just an outstanding person and is not qualified to be on an equal footing with him.
It’s not that Zhao Zhen is arrogant.
You cannot expect a king with tens of millions of citizens to treat a monarch with millions of subjects equally.
"Every outstanding person has great ambitions."
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and said.
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "After Jiao Siluo pacified the other Tubo clans in Qingtang, he still continued to fight hard, which shows that he still has the intention to continue to expand his territory.
To the west of Qingtang is Yuanshan, to the north is our Song Dynasty, and the same is true to the east. To the southeast is Dali, which is also occupied by our Song Dynasty. To the south is the Snow Mountain, and it is impossible for Qingtang soldiers and horses to cross the Snow Mountain.
The Yuanshan tribe is very loyal to the Song Dynasty. Once Qingtang attacks Yuanshan, the Yuanshan tribe will definitely ask for help from the Song Dynasty. Naturally, the Song Dynasty cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
Therefore, as long as Si Luo, the protagonist of Qingtang, keeps his ambition for expansion, sooner or later he will have a battle with me, the Song Dynasty."
Kou Ji's eyes widened slightly, "The Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom attacked our Song Dynasty from the east and west sides. This is an excellent opportunity for Qingtang, and Jiao Siluo will not miss it."
"So we should guard against Qingtang."
"We should not only guard against Qingtang, but also make some arrangements."
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said: "Since we don't have much time left, we should make some preparations early. We will dispatch Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing to return to the court later.
Only Japanese troops were left to guard Dali.
The Yongxing Army should be dispatched back to Xining Prefecture to take charge.
Once the new army is fully prepared, it will be immediately dispatched to Dali to replace the Japanese army.
At the same time, in the name of martial arts, he issued orders to local soldiers and horses, ordering them to assemble once every six months to prepare for the subsequent war.
Lectures at the Mangshan Lecture Hall should also be accelerated.
All coursework that can be deleted will be deleted.
When necessary, personnel from various levels of crossbow battalions will be mobilized to learn.
We must cultivate no less than 10,000 martial arts school students before the war."
Zhao Zhen frowned, "Is it too hasty?"
Kou Ji sighed and said: "It's a bit hasty, but we have to do it now. Otherwise, if everyone is equipped with firearms, but they don't know how to use firearms in combat, they will only get beaten when they go to the battlefield."
Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "But even if we cultivate no less than 10,000 students and distribute them to other armies, there will not be many of them."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "So after the Peng Japanese Army returns to Beijing, we have to split up the Peng Japanese Army. The Peng Japanese Army has been fighting on the Dali battlefield for three years, and almost all the soldiers in the army have learned how to use firearms in combat.
The students who walked out of the martial arts hall gradually figured out some methods of using firearms to fight on the battlefield.
After the Peng Japanese Army returned to Beijing, we split up the officers and soldiers in the Peng Japanese Army and assigned them to other armies.
Coupled with students from other martial arts halls, I should be able to adapt to firearms combat very quickly."
Zhao Zhen mused: "We must leave some fire to support the Japanese army..."
The Japanese army was a powerful army of the Song Dynasty. If it was destroyed due to splitting, Zhao Zhenneng would be heartbroken to death.
Kou Ji understood Zhao Zhen's thoughts and said: "It is impossible for me to destroy a strong army when a war is about to break out. When the Japanese army is divided, it is only ordinary soldiers in the army who are divided. Officials at all levels in the army cannot
It will change, but some core soldiers will not move either.
After the ordinary officers and soldiers have been allocated, I will immediately dispatch the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army from other armies to supplement the manpower in the Japanese army.
As long as the generals who praise the Japanese army give them a little training, the newly recruited soldiers of the Forbidden Army can quickly learn to fight with firearms."
Zhao Zhen was relieved a lot when he heard this.
"Then I will do as you say. I will persuade Lu Yijian and the other three to approve the dispatch of local soldiers and horses to gather for military exercises."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen paused and said: "However, it will take at least a year and a half for the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom to attack the Song Dynasty. We have plenty of time to prepare. But we don't have that much time to implement the government system.
.
We must find a way to help Fan Zhongyan open up the situation."
Kou Ji thought for a while and said: "Why don't the officials secretly send Fan Zhongyan a sum of money based on the rumors of Buddhist treasures? With this money, Fan Zhongyan can open up the situation."
Zhao Zhen asked: "Where does this money come from? The treasury is watched by Lu Yijian and others, and the money for promoting Mongolian education is watched by the civil and military officials of the court. It can't come from my treasury, right?"
The money in my treasury should be kept to recover Yanyun."
"Yi Zi Jiao Zi Pu!"
Kou Ji decisively gave the answer.
There is a saying that you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.
Yizijiaozipu has been established for almost ten years.
The money stored inside has already exceeded the imagination of the people of the Song Dynasty.
But the imperial court never used the money inside.
Kou Ji even said that money is only money when it is moved.
If money does not circulate, it is no different than scrap metal.
Therefore, Kou Ji felt that it was necessary to use the money in Yizijiaozi Shop.
When Zhao Zhen heard what Kou Ji said, he frowned and said, "The money handed over to Zipu is the people's money. After it is moved, what should we do if something goes wrong?"
When Kou Ji heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Zhao Zhen can say this, and Kou Ji can completely understand it.
After all, there are some things that only he in the entire Song Dynasty understands.
"The money from Yizijiaozipu is temporarily lent to the Shaanxi Prefecture, not given to the Shaanxi Prefecture for use. After the Shaanxi Prefecture becomes prosperous with the money from Yizijiaozipu, it will repay the principal with interest.
What the officials should be worried about is that if Yizijiaozipu makes too much profit from this, some officials will accuse them of being unkind.
Instead of worrying that something might go wrong after lending the money from Yizijiaozipu to Shaanxi Prefecture.
Even if something does go wrong, it won't have much impact.
Just a few million strings.
The national treasury can afford to replenish it, and the official treasury can also replenish it.
If nothing else works, I will order the soldiers and horses recruited from Shaanxi Prefecture to go out and grab a vote, and then they will come back."
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen thought about it and said, "A few hundred Guan Guan is really not much, I can afford it. I will give Cao Yan an order when I turn around, asking him to go to Shaanxi Mansion, and get the Yizi Jiaozi from Shaanxi Mansion.
We transferred several million pieces of gold to the shop and sent them to Fan Zhongyan."
Kou Ji reminded: "It is best to publicize to the people that this money is a Buddhist treasure unearthed by Fan Zhongyan."
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen knew why Kou Ji questioned whether the money should be designated as a Buddhist treasure.
There were many poor places in the Song Dynasty, and there were also many poor people.
Once it gets off to a bad start, when other places reform their government systems in the future, they will definitely ask the court for funding.
The road of the Song Dynasty now exceeds the number of twenty.
After each government is renovated, several million guan will be borrowed from it. If there are more than 20 villas, it is very likely that the amount will exceed tens of millions.
If the tens of thousands of loans turn into dead debts.
There will be big problems in the finances of the imperial court and the operation of Yizijiaozipu.
After discussing the matter, Kou Ji did not stay in the palace any longer.
Immediately, Kou Ji exited the palace and walked all the way out of the palace.
From the palace to the house, Kou Ji frowned.
The Liao Kingdom and the Black Khan Dynasty joined hands to accelerate the progress of the war and disrupted many of Kou Ji's plans.
Kou Ji had to make certain adjustments to his plan.
After returning to the house, Kou Ji dove into the study.
Lu Ming also entered the study room not long after.
In the study.
Kou Ji sat at the desk and told Lu Ming in a deep voice, "The officials already know what Cao Li did in the south. Not many people among the people have received the news now because the officials sent people to block the news.
However, it won't be long before officials will lift the blockade.
By then everyone in the government and the public will know the news.
People everywhere will definitely go crazy over this matter.
You tell the people below who are spreading rumors to stop as soon as possible, so as not to be caught and hurt their lives."
"Here..."
"The military affairs of the imperial court have changed, and the war in Jiaozhi cannot be delayed any longer. You send an order to Cao Cao, asking him to send troops to Jiaozhi and capture Jiaozhi for me.
After taking Jiaozhi, he immediately sent people to the Song Dynasty to express to the Song Dynasty that he would sincerely submit to the Song Dynasty.
Ask him not to be stingy with money and send any good things he has to Song Dynasty.
When the time comes, I will petition the officials for Cochin autonomy.
By the way, some poor people were relocated to replenish the population of Jiaozhi.
The imperial court should send officials there at that time. You tell him not to worry. The ones sent to Jiaozhi will definitely be your own people.
Then you send someone to send an order to Yuan Shan of the Yuan Shan tribe, asking him to shrink his troops and move closer to Shazhou."
"Here..."
Lu Ming agreed, and seeing that Kou Ji no longer gave any other instructions, he left the study to secretly deliver the order.
Kou Ji was in his study thinking about how to plan when the three parties attacked Song Dynasty.
Just when Kou Ji was thinking about how to lay out the layout, Kou Hui entered Kou Ji's study with tears in his eyes.
Kou Ji saw the tears on Kou Hui's face, and his heart tightened. He put down his thoughts and hurriedly walked to Kou Hui and picked her up.
"Who bullied you? Is it that brat Kou Tianci?"
Kou Hui lay in Kou Ji's arms, twitching and whispering: "It's Zhao Run..."
Kou Ji's face darkened, "Why did Zhao Run bully you? Tell dad to help you vent your anger."
Kou Hui raised her head and glanced at Kou Ji, then pouted and said, "Dad, you are talking nonsense. Zhao Run said that even if he bullies me, you don't dare to do anything to him. Because he is the king and you are the minister."
Kou Ji snorted, "He's itchy."
Kou Hui nodded vigorously and said, "I thought so too, so I beat him up."
Kou Ji looked stunned, "Are you so powerful?"
Kou Hui said proudly: "I know martial arts, Zhao Run is no match for me."
Kou Ji asked: "Since you hit someone else, why are you crying? Why do you still say that Zhao Run bullied you? Did someone punish you?"
Kou Hui tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said seriously: "The Emperor said that I, a girl, should not be violent, so she asked me to go back to my house and think about my mistakes behind closed doors. Then she slapped Zhao Run on the board, and Zhao Run's hands were swollen.
They all cried in pain."
Speaking of this, Kou Hui also gestured with what kind of paddle Queen Cao used to hit Zhao Run.
Kou Hui made some gestures, and Kou Ji probably understood that it was a ruler.
"Since no one punishes you, why are you crying?"
Kou Ji questions.
Kou Hui glanced at Kou Ji cautiously and said, "I'm afraid you might swell my hand with such a big board."
Kou Ji pinched Kou Hui's cheek lovingly and said with a smile, "How can dad be willing to beat you?"
Kou Hui rolled her eyes and asked, "What about mother? When mother hits me, dad, will you protect me?"
When Kou Ji heard this, the smile on his face became a little more playful, "I thought you were doing this by running to me crying. It turns out you were afraid that your mother would beat you, so you asked me to support you."
Kou Hui's little thoughts were exposed, and she twisted around in Kou Ji's arms with some embarrassment.
Kou Ji sighed and said, "Tell me, who taught you this? Your little brain can't think of this."
Kou Hui stared at Kou Ji with round eyes and pouted without saying a word.
Kou Ji glanced at Kou Hui and said, "If you don't tell me, when your mother beats you later, I won't care about you."
Kou Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother didn't let me say it."
Kou Ji said with a bright smile: "Then I won't ask."
Kou Ji put down Kou Hui and said with a smile: "Go and play. When your mother punishes you later, dad will support you."
Kou Hui chuckled, "Dad, you are the best. Then can I still beat Zhao Run later?"
Speaking of this, Kou Hui scolded Zhao Run with great dissatisfaction, "Zhao Run is so annoying. Every time he comes to the palace, he stuffs me a lot of food that I don't like. I gave it to Sister-in-law Baoqing,
He was still unhappy and insisted on snatching it back from Baoqing's sister-in-law before giving it to me.
I was so angry that I kept wanting to hit him."
After saying this, Kou Hui stared at Kou Ji carefully.
The smile on Kou Ji's face became even brighter, "Only spanking is allowed!"
Kou Hui was stunned for a moment, then ran out of the study with a giggle.
After Kou Hui ran out of the study, Kou Ji muttered: "Guan family, queen, you are too impatient. The children are only old, and you can't wait to bring them together.
You guys are very scheming, but that kid Zhao Run is suffering because he has to be beaten every day.
I'm afraid that the boy was beaten by my daughter since he was a child, and he will have a psychological shadow when he sees my daughter in the future.
Sending my daughter to practice martial arts was the wisest choice."
Mumbling here.
Kou Ji's face turned slightly cold, and he snorted outside the study: "What, do you need me to send someone to invite you in?"
The words fell to the ground.
Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu entered the study with their heads hanging down.
Kou Ji's eyes lingered on Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu for a moment, and he snorted coldly, "You are smart and know that I dote on Kou Hui, so Kou Hui made a mistake and asked Kou Hui to find me to protect her.
As brothers, you have done a good job of protecting your sister.
But you are only a little older, and you are already imitating other people's tricks and tricks, and you are still playing it in front of me.
The most important thing is that even though he knew that I would see through him, he still hid outside the door and waited for the result.
Are you afraid that I won't be able to catch you?
It's simply stupid.
Considering that you are protecting your sister, I can reduce the punishment.
One person has ten boards.”
At this point, Kou Ji had already turned back to look for the board.
Kou Tianci muttered unwillingly: "If we didn't come, you would definitely say that we dared to escape even though we knew we would be caught by you. It was so stupid. So whether we escape or not, the result will be the same."
Just when Kou Tianci was mumbling, Kou Ji had already obtained the board and turned around. He stared at Kou Tianci and sneered: "You are right, so I decided to reward you with ten more boards."
"It's not fair for you to tell me the right thing and the wrong thing, but I don't take the matter into account."
Kou Tianci couldn't help but speak.
Kou Jileng snorted: "You are playing tricks and scheming in front of me, and you still want to talk to me about fairness? In the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, one is not more experienced than you, the other is not more skillful than you, and the other is not more knowledgeable than you. Go and ask them.
Do you dare to play tricks and scheming in front of me?
Throwing an egg against a stone is the most foolish thing to do.
If you dare to have stupid thoughts, you can't even think about pursuing fairness."
Speaking of this, Kou Ji snorted again and said: "Choose for yourself, fight over there."
Liu Boxu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Uncle, can I take the five boards on behalf of Kou Tianci?"
Kou Tianci said very loyally: "No need, I will do the work for myself."
Kou Ji ignored Kou Tianci, but stared at Liu Bo and said: "You are not Kou Tianci's attendant, nor his attendant, so you don't have to take the blame for him. You are his brother, and if you want to take it, just do it like him, get twenty
board.
Ten boards or twenty boards, it’s your choice.”
Liu Boxu hesitated for a moment, "Twenty..."
Kou Tianci stared and said in a deep voice: "No, I can do it alone."
Kou Ji stared at Kou Tianci and said: "If you lead others to make mistakes, others will have to bear the mistakes with you. No one can escape. Unless you have the ability and the qualifications to bear the mistakes alone.
Otherwise, no one will be spared when being beaten.
You are still young and the mistakes you make are just small mistakes, so it is enough to get a few slaps.
But when you get older, you can make bigger mistakes, which may involve lives.
I am your father, and the official is your godfather, so if you make a big mistake, you may not die, but the people around you will most likely be executed by Lingchi."
Kou Tianci's eyes flashed with fear, and he subconsciously looked at Liu Boxu beside him.
Kou Ji continued: "It's okay to use tricks and scheming. After all, when you two grow up, you are destined to hang out in the officialdom. If you don't use tricks and scheming, you will only become someone else's plaything."
But before you resort to tricks, you need to see who the other person is.
If you know that your methods will be exposed, then don't use that crooked idea.
Also, from now on, try to act as openly and as openly as possible, and use as few tricks as possible.
You have identity and background, so there is no need to play tricks on others.
Even if you do some wrong things openly, there won't be any big problems."
Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu stared at Kou Ji blankly, digesting Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji glanced at the two of them and said, "Choose a side, young masters."
When Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu heard this, they turned around with grimaces, raised their buttocks, and pointed to the side of their buttocks.
They were already very familiar with the process, and it was obviously not the first time they had been beaten.
Kou Ji was not polite. He waved his ruler and gave him a beating.
Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu gritted their teeth and said nothing. They were not like other children who were crying after being beaten.
Kou Ji finished twenty boards.
Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu turned around with grins on their faces, covered their buttocks and bent down to salute Kou Ji.
When they bent down, Kou Ji said quietly: "I tell you all this just to remind you to stay away from Zhao Run in the future. With your status, if you make a big mistake, the guards around you will be your substitute."
You are the one who takes the blame. For Zhao Run, once he makes a big mistake, you are the one who takes the blame for him."
Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu were shocked, raised their heads, and looked at Kou Ji in disbelief.
