Fang La, Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu and others standing in the court were looking at the reactions of these civil and military officials with disdain, as if they were very disdainful of the reactions of these people.
However, when Fang La and others looked at the world map, they couldn't help but recall that when they first saw this world map, their reaction was just like that of all the officials present.
Zhao Gou took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, turned to Chu Yi who was standing aside, and said in a trembling voice: "King Song, I never thought that this world is so big. Could it be that, King Song, you..."
Although Zhao Gou did not say it out loud, everyone present could guess what he meant. After all, just before, Zhao Gou had ordered the court to prepare various grains, ordnance, and other supplies.
Now that Zhao Gou saw this world map, he couldn't help but secretly guess, could Chu Yi want to take action against those countries on this world map?
When he thought of this, for some reason, Zhao Gou felt his blood boiling. Since ancient times, in the eyes of the people of the world, the world is the size of the Central Plains. Over the years, the world has been divided and reunited. In the eyes of the people of the country,
It was rare to surrender areas outside the Central Plains.
Looking at this world map now, anyone can feel the oncoming shock.
When he thought of Chu Yi's great military exploits in overthrowing Dajin, Xixia, and Tubo, and then looking at the countries on the map of the world, it was strange that Zhao Gou didn't think too much.
If Chu Yi's goal is really these countries, does it mean that the territory of the Song Dynasty will expand crazily with the footsteps of Chu Yi's army?
If this is true, then the territory of the Song Dynasty will be so large that it will be terrifying, and as a generation of emperors, he will surpass any emperor in the world, unprecedented and unprecedented.
All the officials present also subconsciously looked at Chu Yi, their eyes full of horror.
Zongze's body was trembling a little and he looked at Chu Yi and said: "General Manager, you don't really want to attack these countries, do you?"
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, pointed to the southwest, then pointed to the continuous islands in the southeast sea, and then said: "You know that these places are all fertile lands. If any piece of land can be taken, it will be enough."
Let our Chinese people have no worries about food and clothing, and have a warehouse full of rice..."
Zhu Wu stroked his beard and glanced at Zongze and said: "Privilege Zong, the Chief Supervisor once said that these places are God-given lands. If you don't take them, you will be punished by God. Don't you want to lay down a vast land for future generations?"
Heaven and earth?"
Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang are basically Chu Yi's mouthpieces in the court. Under normal circumstances, Chu Yi will not express his position in the court.
Now it was rare for Chu Yi to tell them so much. Anyone who was not stupid could see that Chu Yi had made up his mind to use troops abroad.
If it were anyone else, even the emperor would probably be regarded as a militaristic person by them, but Chu Yi's achievements were so astonishing.
When others used troops abroad, they usually used all their troops, which brought great burden to the country and even the people. However, Chu Yi used troops several times, and most of the troops he actually mobilized were around 100,000.
Although such a number of soldiers and horses is said to be a lot, in reality, it is not too much. After all, with the national power of the Song Dynasty, it only used more than 100,000 troops at a time. The Song Dynasty could not even bear this consumption.
If we live there, I'm afraid we won't be able to support millions of imperial troops.
At this time, Zhao Gou looked around at all the civil and military officials present and said with finality: "This matter has been settled. All the ministers should handle this matter with their heart. If there is any problem, even if the general manager is merciful, I will not do it."
I will spare you."
After the morning court, as the civil and military officials dispersed, in less than half a day, a lot of information about the court meeting above the court was spread in the market.
The most sensational one was the map of the world that Chu Yi took out.
The map of the world was finally requested by Zhao Gou. It was said that Zhao Gou wanted to hang it in his palace to supervise him.
Although the map of the world was hung in Zhao Gou's palace, so many civil and military officials in the court could see it clearly at that time.
Don't underestimate these civil and military officials. Not to mention other things, some officials' memory alone is definitely the best among the people in the world. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to go all the way to the court and become one of the officials in the court.
Perhaps it was impossible for these officials to memorize all of them, but when several or even a dozen officials used their memories to restore the world map, a map that was almost exactly the same as that world map was restored.
It is conceivable that by the next day, this world map was circulated, and everyone who had the connections got a copy of the world map.
Just like the reaction of the officials in the court, everyone who saw the content of the world map for the first time was stunned by the world map.
In just three to five days, the entire capital was excited, especially the people of the Song Dynasty who were inspired by Chu Yi's great victories one after another. Many people had the urge to defect to the army for the first time.
You must know that in the Song Dynasty, few people were willing to join the army if they had a choice. Just the title of a thief serving the army can be imagined how low the status of soldiers was in the Song Dynasty.
But now it is obvious that the military people are stronger in the court, and Chu Yi has almost become the representative of the military people. Not only does he suppress the civil servants, he also suppresses the imperial power.
When Chu Yi learned about the reaction of the people in the capital, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect that his fundamental purpose was to pursue the destiny of destroying the country, but he never thought that it would bring such a big change to these people.
With a thought in his heart, Chu Yi summoned Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu, Lu Junyi and others.
Several people came in a hurry, looked at Chu Yi, and heard Lu Junyi say to Chu Yi: "The general manager has urgently summoned us, what are your orders?"
Chu Yi glanced at a few people and said: "Pass the order to my general and post a recruitment notice to recruit 30,000 soldiers."
After hearing Chu Yi's order, Lu Junyi and others couldn't help but be stunned. Apparently they didn't quite understand why Chu Yi suddenly decided to recruit troops.
You must know that they can actually choose troops from the Forbidden Army. It is better than recruiting troops directly from the people. Besides, how many people in the world are willing to join the army? Not to mention 30,000 people. I am afraid they can recruit 300 by then.
The person is already pretty good.
The changes in the expressions of several people were seen in Chu Yi's eyes, and Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Just do it, I have my own plan."
Naturally, no one would object to Chu Yi's order, even if they were confused. Since Chu Yi said so, they would naturally try their best to complete it.
In the palace, Zhao Gou looked at Yang Jian in surprise and said, "Yang Jian, what are you talking about? King Song is about to enter the palace to see me?"
Yang Jian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is the news I just received."
Zhao Gou took a deep breath, glanced at Yang Jian and said: "Since the King of Song wants to enter the palace to see me, what are you waiting for? I will welcome him personally."
After saying that, Zhao Gou walked out of the palace first, and Yang Jian and several other servants quickly followed.
Before Zhao Gou could pass through the pavilion, he saw a figure in front of him who seemed to be walking slowly but was actually walking very quickly. It was Chu Yi.
When Chu Yi saw Zhao Gou, his expression became serious and he said: "Chu Yi has met your Majesty."
Zhao Gou said hurriedly: "There is no need to be polite to the King of Song. I didn't expect that the King of Song would enter the palace to see me..."
Chu Yi said: "Chu came suddenly and disturbed His Majesty."
Zhao Gou shook his head and said: "The King of Song is just joking. I have time to see me whenever the King of Song wants. But this is the first time that the King of Song has come to see me. It really surprises me. Is it possible that there is something important?"
Things won’t work out?”
You must know that during these days, Chu Yi showed up during the court meeting. At other times, Chu Yi did not appear in front of people at all. Even if something happened, it was handled by his subordinates.
It was precisely because Chu Yi had always lived in seclusion that Zhao Gou was so surprised when Chu Yi entered the palace in person.
Chu Yi glanced at it, walked towards a pavilion not far away and said: "Chu really has something to discuss with His Majesty when he comes here."
Soon, several people walked into the pavilion. Yang Jian quickly served Chu Yi and Zhao Gou to sit down, and then took the initiative to exit the pavilion with several servants.
Zhao Gou then looked at Chu Yi curiously and said, "I wonder if the General Manager has anything to discuss with me. I have said that as long as the General Manager thinks there is no problem, just go ahead and do it. I will support it."
Obviously Zhao Gou was expressing his attitude to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi just smiled, looked at Zhao Gou and said: "Your Majesty should know that the Song Dynasty has accumulated various shortcomings over the past hundred years. Generally speaking, it is redundant officials, redundant soldiers, redundant government..."
As the emperor, how could Zhao Gou not see through the problems above the court? In fact, there are not a few people in this era who can see through these. After all, who can stand at the pinnacle of this era is not an outstanding person. If Lian Dasong's
If you can't see through the shortcomings, you won't be qualified to stand at the pinnacle of an era.
Zhao Gou may not be a great person, but there are many people in the court who have seen through this, so Zhao Gou is very aware of the issues raised by Chu Yi.
Zhao Gou raised his head and looked at Chu Yi and said: "How come I don't know this? But after hundreds of years of precipitation, these problems have become difficult to recover from. I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will die before these problems are solved."
Speaking of this, Zhao Gou looked at Chu Yi expectantly and said: "In the past, reforms often had such reasons, but they still ended in failure."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "As His Majesty said, these problems have become irreversible, but if we don't find a way to solve them, one day, the Song Dynasty will fall because of this."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gou looked at Chu Yi and said: "If there is anyone in the world who can solve these problems, in my opinion, there is no one other than you, King Song."
Chu Yi looked calm, as if Zhao Gou's praise for him was nothing at all.
I heard Chu Yi slowly say: "In fact, it is not difficult to solve these problems. It is nothing more than reforming the control and military system."
Both the official system and the military system were left behind by Taizu, and were gradually formed by several generations of emperors. In the final analysis, they emphasized culture and suppressed military affairs, and the Zhao family and the scholar-bureaucrats shared the world.
Now that Chu Yi wants to reform the military system and the official system, Zhao Gou naturally has no idea. However, Zhao Gou also knows that if Chu Yi makes a decision, even he, the emperor, cannot stop him. Anyway, now the civil servants have already
Unable to suppress the generals, then simply let Chu Yi go and reform. Regardless of success or failure, it seems that he, the emperor, will benefit in the end.
While Chu Yi was thinking about reforming the military and political affairs of the Song Dynasty and other issues, Lu Junyi, Lu Shinang and others were still working very efficiently.
Notices were posted one after another, not only in the capital, but also in all states and roads recruiting soldiers.
Obviously Lu Shinang and others were worried that they would not be able to recruit enough soldiers in the capital alone. Anyway, Chu Yi did not say that the scope of recruiting soldiers would be limited to the capital, so Lu Shinang and others simply posted the notice
It’s plastered all over the roads in every state.
Xiangzhou Tangyin
Several Xiang soldiers looked at the notice posted on the city wall, and one of them couldn't help but said to someone: "Pengju, look at this notice, the general manager is recruiting soldiers."
"The General Manager Chu Yi is an unparalleled warrior who led an army to destroy Xixia, Dajin, and Tubo. I didn't expect that this would be the General Manager recruiting soldiers. What an honor it would be if I could join him."
The young man known as Peng Ju stood tall and straight, and said with a strange look in his eyes: "Brothers, do you dare to go to Beijing with me, Yue Fei, to strive for a bright future?"
As a close friend of Yue Fei, Niu Gao laughed and said, "Why don't you dare?"
Zhang Xian smiled and said: "If it hadn't been for Pengju, who had to quit the army because you had to keep filial piety for your uncle, you would have already been in the limelight by now. Why would you spend your days hanging out in this army with our brothers?
"
Wang Gui and others nodded. They knew that Yue Fei joined the army a few years ago and even reached the position of captain. However, he had to leave the army and return to his hometown to observe filial piety because of his father's death. Otherwise, with Yue Fei's ability, he might have already
Famous throughout the world.
Yue Fei chuckled and said: "As a son, it is your duty to fulfill your filial piety. Besides, I have never felt any regrets about leaving the army. After all, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't be able to get together every day."
Niu Gao said in a loud voice: "This time we will listen to Peng Ju. Let's go back and make good arrangements for our families, and then we will go to the capital together."
As soon as the notice came out, not only handsome men like Yue Fei, but also many other generals who had not yet had time to step on their own stage looked at the notice and were eager to try.
