Twenty-eight water camps were built on the Hutuo River before, and thousands of navy troops were sent to patrol day and night on warships. In winter, warships had no effect, but the water camps would work. This was not because the Hutuo River was regarded as a border and the north gave up.

Instead, it was regarded as the second line of defense. Almost all the states in the north except for the western mountains were destroyed, and most of the people in this area were moved to the south of Hutuo River.

In other words, when the Liao army invaded, they didn't want to immediately rely on the grass valley to obtain supplies.

This one is deadly.

When the Liao army goes out, it serves as soldiers, and when it returns, it serves for the people. The troops they march are relatively small, but they also need to supply them.

Just like in Liaodong, Song Jiu asked Yang Yanzhao to go to Liaodong, so that Wu Xuanming would clear the tribes in the Changchun Prefecture of Huanglong Prefecture. Without the people, there would be no supply. If the Liao Kingdom wanted to clear it, it would have to bring supply. In the vast sparsely populated Liaodong, it was densely covered with swamps. It was so difficult for the Liao army to take supplies to clear it out. Moreover, Wu Xuanming would also take advantage of its familiarity with the terrain to invade food, grass and supplies. However, a large number of people arrived, and there was a prosperous scene behind it.

It will still be destroyed, but the Liao Kingdom will have more and more headaches if it wants to destroy Wu Xuanming.

It is mainly different from Bubu, they became a powerful force. Of course, Bubu also gave Liao Kingdom a headache. Soon after, Yelu Xizhen personally conquered the desert and wiped out some rebellious tribes. But this resentment must have increased.

Then merchants were banned from increasingly conducting any trade activities on the Hutuo River. There were mostly soldiers in Hebei. They were farming and breeding, but the requirements were provided by the court and you did not need to trade. This was to prevent the Liao spies from infiltrating the border.

Is there any effect? ​​It is this one that Yelu Xiu Ge gradually built the altar.

But this one was proposed by Zhao Kuangyi and had nothing to do with Song Jiu.

Then there was the mobilization of the border generals. Old Song came back. After Zhao Kuangyin's death, Old Song was Zhao Kuangyin's little father-in-law. He felt something was wrong, so he flattered. Zhao Kuangyi was quite happy. After all, Old Song's bloodline was golden bloodline and had a great influence. However, Queen Song was a little sad. When Zhao Kuangyin entered the palace, she was a little confused and said to Wang Jien: "But Defang is here?"

When her husband died, he wanted Zhao Defang to be his future successor, but he didn't think of Zhao Kuangyi.

It was fine, but I didn't know why this incident spread. This made Zhao Kuangyi very unhappy. However, considering his influence and his father was quite loyal to him, he called him Empress Kaibao and ordered her to move to the West Palace. Last year, she moved to the East Palace, and the salary was slightly higher. It was obtained by Old Song on the front line for the Song Dynasty. However, Old Song did not perform well, so it was hard to say in the future. Xiao Song was Pan Lian'er's best friend. Seeing her best friend depressed in the deep palace, Pan Lian'er had no choice but to do anything about it.

But it doesn't matter. Xiao Song married Zhao Kuangyin. Lao Song gave birth to many daughters, so he will have many capable sons-in-law in the future. Kou Zhun, Han Chongxun...

Cui Yanjin took over Lao Song's position, but this was in Bazhou. Although it was also within the attack range of the Liao army, it was an attack range. Cui Yanjin was not very satisfied, but there was no way. He followed Song Jiu and made some contributions, but it was not as great as Li Jilong's contributions. This contribution cannot forgive the mistakes he made in the battle at Qigou Pass.

Although Tian Chongjin's performance was not cowardly, he had many shortcomings. Therefore, Li Jilong replaced Tian Chongjin and deployed it as the capital of Dingzhou. Then, Yuan Jizhong and Jing Si, who were originally capable of fighting in Tian Chongjin, were transferred to Li Jilong's tent.

After Song Jiu learned about Jing Si's deeds, he had already told Zhao Kuangyi, but the war ahead was important and had not been transferred to the capital for the time being to meet.

But another person, Song Jiu, didn't notice it.

At the same time, Guo Shouwen and Fan Tingzhao were transferred to Zhenzhou Metro and Deputy Chief of Zhenzhou Metro respectively. Pei Ji, the formerly outstanding general, was transferred to Dingzhou magistrate.

He also picked out a thousand men from the Yizhou warriors to form a heavy armored cavalry.

Song Jiu pursued speed, reformed armor, and reduced the weight of the armor, which should have effect. At least during that retreat, the soldiers did not drag down the speed due to infantry armor. However, there was a little lack of in the vest. Light infantry was right, but there was no speed problem with cavalry. Moreover, most of the war horses riding by the Song army came from the Northwest Hetao horses. They were big and had strong explosive power. They were a little more delicate than the Khitan, and they did not have Khitan horses, which means that Mongolian horses in later generations could endure hardships.

But this doesn't matter. The Song army has no idea of ​​whipping straight to the desert now. It's enough to have this Hetao horse.

As for lightness and speed, what should I do if I cooperate with the bulky infantry? Of course, light cavalry still works, but when Li Jilong talked to Song Jiu, he also mentioned something, that is, in addition to light cavalry, a heavy armored cavalry can also be built. Although the load will be heavier, for the tall northwest war horses, this weight will not make it slower than the Khitan horses, at least not much slower than the Khitan cavalry in a short period of time. However, from man to horses, the power of charging into the formation will be stronger.

Li Jilongyi reminded that Song Jiu also realized that he was in a misunderstanding and always thought about Genghis Khan's army. Is it possible?

In fact, the Western Xia Iron Harrier and the later Jin Kingdom kidnapper horse are also good, at least they will not be eliminated at the moment.

Therefore, the cavalry was built into heavy armored cavalry, named Jingsai Army, and kept it strictly confidential, only a few important officials in the court and a few senior generals stationed in Hebei knew about it.

Li Jilong also proposed that Tian Min be the commander of Jingsai Army.

He was a little familiar with the name Song Jiu. Later, he checked and found out that something was happening. This person was quite similar to Jing Si and was very good at fighting. Cao Bin set out from Baigou Road to Zhuozhou again. Yelu Xiuge came to harass him. Wang Jien on the other side was anxious. What happened to you? Why didn't you tell the Sa family? Therefore, the Zhao brothers said that Song Jiu was good in character, but Lu Mengzheng thought that Song Jiu had less character. Compared with Cao Bin, Song Jiu was not very evil to the eunuchs in the palace, and generally did not like to offend people. Unless he was angry with him.

It’s not that it doesn’t work. These eunuchs are not evil to Song Jiu, but Song Jiu has a good grasp of the scale, only looking far away, not playing near, although respecting and not getting close, Zhao Kuangyi does not doubt it, and the eunuchs occasionally say good things. Although Song Jiu has not been the prime minister, it is not easy to be like a tumbler in Zhao Kuangyi’s court. The eunuchs in the palace played an immeasurable role in the middle.

But at that time, Wang Jien also knew some things, so he recruited warriors to Cao Bin with letters and the tooth clerk Tian Min applied for recruitment. This time it took several days. When Tian Min held the letter and found Cao Bin, Cao Bin had arrived in Zhuozhou and came very smoothly, so he stayed in the military camp for the time being.

Later, the situation in Zhuozhou was critical, so Cao Bin wanted to send some important information to the rear, so he sent fifty strong men to send Tian Min back. As a result, he was sent by a thousand Liao army on the way and a bloody battle began.

In this battle, only Tian Min and two brave soldiers were selected, and all the others died heroically. But that was the case, Tian Min actually repelled them. It is said that Tian Min killed nearly a hundred Liao soldiers alone, and the remaining Liao soldiers scared him away. Later, Cao Bin recommended, Li Jilong recommended, and Tian Min began to take over.

However, who will prove it except for the two surviving Song soldiers? Song Jiu did not believe that the Song Dynasty had two brave generals, Yang Ye and Jing Si, who were killed by a hundred people, could have another one. This reminded him of his blood-stained style, and his military achievements could also be forged.

But Song Jiu was really wrong this time. This is another super brave general.

In addition to Tian Min, Yin Jilun, who performed well last year, was moved to the inspector of the northern border capital. As well as some of the original famous generals, this time Hebei was truly shining with stars like clouds.

However, Yelu Xiu Ge’s reputation is not uncomfortable, Zhao Kuangyi was still worried and asked Song Jiu: “Will there be a crisis in the Hebei border defense?”

After listening to Song Jiu's suggestion, don't think about the Northern Expedition for the time being, and restore the vitality of the people in the country first. As for Hebei, strengthen border defense. However, can Hebei's border defense be kept?

Then Zhao Kuangyi stared at Song Jiu.

Song Jiu is a crow's mouth. Before the Battle of Gaoliang River, it was not good. It was really not good. Before the Battle of Qigou Pass, Song Jiu was hesitant and something big happened again. Now there are Song Jiu's suggestions, Li Jilong's suggestions, and Zhao Kuangyi's suggestions. If it doesn't work, Zhao Kuangyi's pitiful self-confidence will be irresistible.

"There should be no crisis, at least the tragedy of last year will not happen," said Song Jiu. He recalled the time around the Spring Festival in his mind. In fact, afterwards, various armies were dispatched one after another, and he led his troops to approach the main army of Liao. Most of the plans were made by Li Jilong. Although there was no great victory behind, there was no heavy sacrifice due to command errors, and Li Jilong made contributions to force the Liao army out of the Song territory. However, facing Yelu Xiu Ge, Song Jiu said it very conservatively.

"That's good," Zhao Kuangyisheng was afraid that Song Jiu's crow's mouth would make any bad predictions.

When Song Jiu returned home, he knew that his daughter was talking angry, but what if he really had it? When he got married with a big belly, he would be so laughing to death and would make his wife even more angry. So he prepared to fight quickly.

He first called the future son-in-law to talk about his heart for several hours, so he had to let his poor self-esteem accept his own subsidies, and he could not destroy the relationship between future couples because of these subsidies. Otherwise, even if his daughter was unhappy, Song Jiu would directly disagree with the marriage.

Convinced for most of the day.

Finally, he took care of his son-in-law's face and self-esteem. The dowry was a 50,000 gold shop, Jiaozi issued by the 30,000 gold shop, as well as gold and silver jewelry, and a set of houses in Hezhou. They were all hard-earned, but their appearance was inconspicuous. With a dowry of more than 100,000 gold shops, there were only dozens of people who married themselves.

In fact, whether it is poor or rich, it doesn’t matter, as long as it is good to your daughter.

But this marriage still attracted complaints from my mother-in-law and many people were watching.

Song Jiu did not like the poor and loved the rich, so he married his eldest daughter to a poor family, but something bad happened in Qinzhou. Li Yi, a powerful official in Qinzhou, had a very rich family, and there were hundreds of servants alone. Because of his wealth, he also had contacts with some powerful people in the capital.

This problem arises. His restaurant is not an official, but a clerk. The strange official system of the Song Dynasty, except for Guangnan, which is exempted from military service, officials are recruited, and officials have the right to speak, in other areas, except for a few children from academies who are clerks, most of them are local tyrants who serve as clerks. They are either rich families or fierce people like Song Jiang. If officials are capable, they can still control their rights. If they are incapable, they can often undermine the rights of officials.

With this Li Yi, all officials in Qinzhou, except for the county magistrates, were afraid of him. There were hundreds of families in Qinzhou who owed him usury, which was not a loan from a gold shop. The interest on usury in the Song Dynasty was often terrible. The higher the ones could reach 300% a year, which means that 10,000 yuan is borrowed today, and next year, you will have to pay 40,000 yuan in principal and interest.

As long as you get involved in this thing, half of the people can't pay it back. Li Yi used the power of the government to ask for the people for this loan loan, making the bottom messy. Feng Kang, the Qinzhou observer, did not cooperate. You can't collect loan loans and rent, but why should you use the power of the government to collect it for you?

One day when Li Ying rode out on a horse, Li Yi asked his servants to force Li Yi to take off the horse and insulted him in all kinds of shame. Li Yi asked to discuss the matter, but asked Li Yi to bribe the officials and detain them all. It was not until the court went to Qinzhou to buy horses that the memorial was brought to Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi was furious and issued an edict to arrest him. However, before the edict arrived, there was a powerful person in the capital, and Li Yi ran away. Zhao Kuangyi became even more angry and strictly urged him to arrest Li Yi in the family of the rich Hao family of Hanoi, and he was sent to the Imperial Terrace and beheaded. His son Li Shiheng passed the imperial examination and was appointed as the chief of Guanglu Temple. He was ordered to remove him from his family and never use him for life. When the people of Qinzhou heard that Li Yi died, they drank and celebrated.

This case seems small, but it is not simple in reality.

The ancestors' family rules, ancestors, Zhao Kuangyin, Zong, Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyin were martial arts, Zhao Kuangyi was the rule of culture, and some good and bad systems in the Song Dynasty in history were perfected in the hands of Zhao Kuangyi. There were many bad things, and there were many good things.

For example, the humanization of the Song Dynasty was the so-called policy of universal justice.

Don’t take the so-called democracy, or Li Shun’s future equality of wealth, or this policy of unity between the people, seriously. Anyway, Song Jiu has never seen a real equality for everyone, so I can only say that if he does it well, he can try to get close to this goal.

Compared with the previous dynasties, the Song Dynasty did a good job. The greatest contribution was the promotion of the Qi people system in the hands of Zhao Kuangyi.

If he tried cases, he always favored vulnerable groups. For example, Li Fang's son Li Zongyan, Lu Mengzheng's cousin Lu Mengheng, Wang Ming's son Wang Fu, Xu Zhongxuan's son Xu Waiwen passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination, and his grades were also good. Although it was a system of misleading names, Zhao Kuangyi still said: "These are the children of powerful people. They compete with the children of ordinary people. Even if they can get promotions, the people will say that I will take care of them."

So they were all disqualified.

After hearing this, Pan Lian'er felt very lucky, but her husband did a good job and sent all of her two children to the academy.

In fact, this is to give more opportunities to poor children.

It is impossible to achieve the so-called uniformity of people, but at least in a sense the reduction in production has caused the resentment of the people due to the unevenness of the rich and the poor.

However, what does Li Yi mean? The officials below are acting against the trend. From the informing information of the powerful and powerful in the capital, to the inaction of some officials in Qinzhou, this is not my fault, but the prime minister's fault.

Song Jiu's crow's mouth worked again, but not in military terms, but in Li Fang's fate.
