Chapter 620 Mind(2/2)

In essence, it seems that they are all based on the interests of the country, but the mutual point of view... this is too ridiculous, aren't they all civil servants?

After thinking about it, Zhao Xi seemed to understand and felt relieved.

Regardless of whether it's showmanship or sincerity, in fact, you are working hard for the country.

"What Mr. Wen Ge said is absolutely true. But how many soldiers are there in Guochao? How long is the border? I heard that the new army of Guochao now has difficulty even guarding the army. How can we station another garrison in Hehuang?"

What Zhang Fangping said is true.

At this level of discussion, Zhao Xi's purpose of anxiously discussing cabinet matters has almost been achieved.

Wang Shao said that he wanted the court to set up another road in Hehuang.

Zhao Xi couldn't bear to dampen the enthusiasm of the heroes, but the imperial court was really unable to send garrison troops. Therefore, he convened a cabinet meeting with the intention of commending Wang Shao for his contribution.

Now, the shortage of troops in the imperial court has been made clear, the problem of distrust of foreigners has also been made clear, even the court's slight suspicion has been made clear, and even the attention that should be paid to Wang Shao has been made clear...

"The officials, whether they are Tubo or Xixia, and the tribes living in the Hehuang area, have already included what they should and wanted to include. At least so far, Wang Zichun has handled it very well and there has been no trouble."

"The country is currently short of soldiers, and Hehuang is basically stable. Why not keep it as it is for the time being?"

"After the Great Council is convened, the Military Service Law will be implemented in the country. In three to five years, the new army available to the country will be 700-800 thousand, if not one million. By then, not to mention the establishment of another army in Hehuang to station garrison troops.

, even if we devote all our strength to defeat Xia, it won’t be a problem.”

"Therefore, the veteran believes that Hehuang only needs to maintain the status quo for now, and we will discuss it after the court implements the new law. The veteran believes that Wang Zichun has the ability to keep the Hehuang area clean for three to five years!"

Chen Shengzhi's explanation of his views completely cornered Wang Shao, and he was unable to express his request to the court.

In fact, those tribes that annexed sincerely wanted to annex in all directions and wanted the imperial court to incorporate the cavalry.

When the Song Dynasty purchased wool and let women and children graze the animals, they could basically have enough food and clothing.

Those warriors who control the strings no longer have to go around robbing for a living.

Wang Shao felt it was a pity to waste all those who could fight. So when he was playing the duel, he took a roundabout way to express his intention to the officials.

How could Zhao Xi not understand?

"Zichun, if the imperial court allows you to take over those barbarian cavalry, can you be the absolute leader? Or do you have to rely on the tribal leaders?"

Wang Shao didn't know how to answer the official's words for a while.

Absolute commander made those foreign cavalry loyal to the Song Dynasty. Wang Shao asked himself that he didn't have the ability.

"It's really hard for a humble minister to do that."

After Wang Shao said these words, it seemed that all the cabinet members breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps, if he agreed, Wang Shao and Wang Zichun would never return to Hehuang.

Are these old foxes really looking for trouble with Wang Shao? They just saw something and used this method to remind Wang Shao.

Of course, except Sima Guang.

"Zichun, the imperial court pays the daily expenses of a thousand cavalry..."

"His Majesty……"

"Officials are not allowed to...~"

The cabinet has spoken out...~This is an attempt to trick Wang Shao! This is an attempt to cause chaos in Hehuang!

How much does a thousand cavalry cost? Needless to say, there are not only tens of thousands of foreign cavalry in the Hehuang area, but there must be tens of thousands or eight thousand. Using a thousand cavalry to solve ten times the demand will only lead to chaos.

.

Zhao Xi pressed his hand and continued: "The cost of these thousand cavalry is not to allow you to fix the expenditure of certain tribes, but to choose a city closer to Qinzhou to build a cavalry training camp."

"The cavalry of those tribes will be trained in rotation. Each year, one thousand cavalry can enjoy the salary from the court. They will be replaced every year and will never be monopolized by any tribe."

"The so-called training, to put it bluntly, means spending money to support them. The Song Dynasty is not able to train other people's cavalry. You can let the new military captains teach them, or you can show them new firearms, but you can never teach them."

"In this way, first of all, we can give them hope and ensure stability for three to five years. Secondly, we can properly demonstrate our strength. In addition, we can select some who are truly loyal to the Song Dynasty, grant them official positions in the imperial court, and enjoy the treatment of military generals in the imperial court.
