Zhao Tai decided to support Goryeo and use Goryeo to consume Mongolia.

However, in order to prevent the money supported by the feudal government from being embezzled by the Koryo people, Zhao Tai decided to set extremely stringent conditions.

After Zhao Tai finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "Why, some gentlemen have objections?"

Wang Wentong saluted and said: "Your Majesty has thought carefully. If you set the limit like this, you can ensure that the money is spent wisely. It's just..."

Zhao Tai said easily: "What if it's just a gap? Right!"

Wang Wentong saluted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhao Taixin said: "You don't have to worry about money. I have some ideas in my heart. If I can increase my income by 500,000 yuan a year, it won't be a problem!"

Wang Wentong saw that Zhao Tai's words were conclusive and full of confidence, so he saluted and said: "Since your Majesty can solve the gap, I have no objection!"

Zhao Tai nodded: "The Korean envoy Gu has already seen the terms of the aid and how to restrict it. To ensure that the money is spent effectively, I will leave it to you!"

The four of them stood up and saluted: "I accept your orders!"

After making the decision, Zhao Tai handed the matter over to his subordinates and asked them to discuss the specific details with the Korean envoys, while he prepared to set off for Haizhou.

After all, there was already a financial gap, and now he needed to invest money in Goryeo, so Zhao Tai set a small goal for himself, earning an extra five hundred thousand guan every year.

Before leaving, Zhao Tai first visited the counties in Jibei to inspect the northern border defenses to ensure that Qi could resist the Mongolian invasion.

In October, more than half a year after the peace talks between Mongolia and Song Dynasty, the Qi army took a breather. The Mongolian war horses had been raised on the grassland for an autumn and became fat and strong again.

Winter is approaching, and because the rivers are frozen in winter, the Mongolian horse army can travel unimpeded in the northern country. For the soldiers and civilians of Qi, the pressure of border defense immediately increased.

Although Mongolia and Song Dynasty are now negotiating peace, Zhao Tai does not believe in a treaty and still needs to be prepared.

At this time, after the autumn harvest, Qi Land enters the off-season, and young people from each village are mobilized to participate in peasant and soldier training.

Previously, Wang Bin suggested that the young men and women in all villages in Qi form a rural camp, with retired soldiers as the generals. If a village is attacked, drums and fires will be played to gather the young men to resist the Mongolian invasion.

A few months later, this policy was basically implemented, and Zhao Tai went a step further, ordering the Department of Production and Construction to collect household registration statistics, compile a roster, and grasp the number of young people in the land in order to implement the conscription system.

At this time, outside a village in northern Jinan, the young people in the village gathered together for training.

In the distance, Zhao Tai, Wang Bin and others were stationed at a distance and did not enter the village to disturb them.

"Your Majesty, there are 230 people in this village, between fifteen and below forty strong men." Wang Bin said: "If there is a war, one out of ten will be drawn in the first round of recruitment, and twenty-three people can be mobilized. If there is an emergency,

You can also draw one out of five in the second round and one out of three in the third round.”

Zhao Tai nodded slightly, "Now that Shandong is at peace and the people have obtained land, they hope that others will go to the battlefield to defend them while they farm the land at home. Therefore, it is very necessary to master the Ding register and force mobilization when necessary."

Nowadays, the Qi army mainly adopts a recruitment system, relying on the allocation of military fields, tax exemptions, and generous military pay to attract some young men to join the army.

Recently, the vassal government has encouraged people to open up wasteland, so the attractiveness of military fields has declined, so Zhao Tai wants to establish a more advanced conscription system.

Because Zhao Tai's territory is small, he can easily be killed in a battle.

If a war is approaching, it will be too late to recruit troops, and if the economy is good, the cost of recruiting troops will also increase exponentially.

Adopting a conscription system will make defending the home and country an obligation for adult men. In case of war, multiple rounds of mobilization will be carried out directly according to the roster, which can greatly unleash the war potential of Qi Di.

With both territory and population inferior to those of the Mongolian and Song Dynasties, Zhao Tai believed that being able to carry out comprehensive mobilization would be his magic weapon for victory.

Wang Bindao: "During the Warring States Period, Qi State's commerce was prosperous. It had more than 70 cities and could mobilize an army of 500,000 during the war. According to the statistics of the vassal government, there were more than 3.5 million people under the king's rule, including millions of young and strong people.

After multiple rounds of mobilization, we were able to obtain an army of 300,000 in a short period of time. The king is determined to recover and in the future

There is bound to be a great war. If we can mobilize quickly during the slack season, use more troops to attack fewer enemies with great speed, and fight against chaos with more strikes, we will be able to defeat them all. By then, the people in the newly acquired land will be able to avoid the long-lasting war and conquer the land.

The common people will not suffer from the misfortune. If the king acts quickly and mobilizes his troops, they can still return to farming."

Zhao Tai nodded slightly. What Wang Bin meant was to take the initiative to defend, mobilize troops and horses before the enemy attacks, concentrate superior forces, and defeat the enemy with lightning speed.

In this way, the enemy could not attack Qi Land, and Zhao Tai could call it a day and let his troops return to farming without affecting the farming season.

Zhao Tai knows that this state is ideal, but it is not impossible to implement. "If you want to achieve this, you need to be united and united, and we must do what we say. Look, we still have a long way to go!"

After speaking, Zhao Tai pulled the reins and continued to patrol north. Almost all the villages along the way were training peasant soldiers.

This made Zhao Tai quite satisfied. Even if Mongolia broke the treaty, the soldiers and people of Qi would still be able to fight.

Chuzhou.

After the peace talks between Mongolia and Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army returned to the grassland to rest and recuperate, and Zhao Tai returned to Shandong to rectify military affairs and resume production in Shandong. The Southern Song Dynasty was not idle either.

After Zhao Yun deposed Zheng Qingzhi and other warring factions, Shi Songzhi went to Lin'an to pay homage to the prime minister, and the warring faction began to regain power.

After the war, Jiangnan resumed its peaceful scene of singing and dancing, but Shi Songzhi and others did not forget the threat of Zhao Tai.

Although Shi Songzhi advocated peace, he did not pay attention to military affairs. On the contrary, he knew very well that only with a strong military could the Southern Song Dynasty maintain peace.

Therefore, after Shi Songzhi took charge of Lin'an, he began to rebuild the Jianghuai defense line. The Lin'an court directly increased military expenditures by four million, reorganized the forbidden army, and expanded the Huai army.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the annual tax revenue reached 70 to 80 million yuan, and the military expenditures increased at will, which was more than Zhao Tai's annual tax revenue.

With a huge investment of money, the Southern Song Dynasty rebuilt the Jianghuai defense line, which gradually achieved results.

After Shi Zhaizhi served as the envoy of the Huaihe system, he restored the Huai army to 150,000, and placed almost all of it in the lower reaches of the Huai River, facing the Qi army across the river.

At this time, in the Zhizhi Si Yamen, Shi Zhaizhi stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the map hanging on the wall, and said in a deep voice: "I asked you to infiltrate to the other side and win over the generals on the other side. How is it going?"

"It is difficult to bribe the direct descendants of the King of Linyi to establish the Xianggong. However, there are two hundred households who are very tempted by the conditions for establishing the Xianggong and are willing to come over!" An official saluted.

"The King of Linyi has set up a private official system and has a rebellious intention, so everyone knows it! I am guarding the border for the imperial court, so I have to take action." Shi Zhaizhi frowned, "You should work harder and let those two people lead the way.
