"Dedicated to Mr. Cai?"

Zhang Yuan has an IQ of over 130, and has also heard and witnessed the black and thick skills he learned in the officialdom since childhood. Of course, he knew that Wu Haogu was going to cheat Cai Jing.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan also knew that this was the idea that Laozi, his loyal minister, helped Wu Haogu... Although the old man was a loyal minister, his methods of fighting were also first-class! He was definitely a fighting minister among the loyal ministers. That is, he could compete with a treacherous minister like Cai Jing.

Without his advice, Wu Haogu would have no way to defeat Cai Jing except to raise an army to rebel against the Qing dynasty.

"Gong-gong Cai is smart!" Zhang Yuan said, "Brother Chongdao's Jianbai Book must be carefully prepared."

The meaning of this is: if you dig a little better, you have to pretend well, otherwise Cai Jing will not be fooled.

"King Cai will definitely be satisfied!" Wu Haogu said with a smile. "How could he not be satisfied with the military affairs of the Coastal Maritime Control Department and the things made by the Cavalry Academy Professors' Corps? There will be better in the whole world? Besides, he is in power now, so he naturally has to wipe out the Khitan for the officials and restore Yan Yun's. Therefore, he must do the matter of rectifying the imperial guards and expanding the new military forces. But how could he understand these things as a scholar?"

"Is there really a way for Brother Chongdao?" Zhang Yuan asked with interest.

"certainly!"

Although he has a very high IQ, he is not like Wu Haogu who has established a professional staff team.

Those who gave advice to Wu Haogu were young officers with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. They were also organized according to the model of the General Staff Headquarters and Military Academy in later generations. Of course, they could gather the wisdom of everyone and come up with the best solution.

However, this best solution may not be suitable for the outdated bureaucratic empire of the Song Dynasty. In fact, after the emergence of "Personal Theory", "Reason Theory" and the Yuntai Academy, the system of the Song Dynasty was completely outdated.

"Okay!" Zhang Yuan nodded, "I'll just go for Brother Chongdao... As long as the Jianbai Book you prepared is good enough, I will always have a way to get Xianggong Cai to take the bait!"

Wu Haogu laughed and looked at him against Brother Zhao Zhong. Brother Zhao Zhong said, "It's getting late. Shuaisi, the Grand Tutor, are here to use some wine and food to meet the mercenary leaders outside."

...

Qionglin Palace, Chongzheng Hall.

After Su Che Xuanma, Cai Jing lost the opportunity to be alone with the emperor. After the summoning of Chongzheng Hall, the emperor often left Cai Jing and Su Che to ask questions. Today is no exception.

Although there are many calls among the scholars who oppose the right-list Jinshi, there are many officials who have submitted memorials to the emperor. However, Zhao Ji never mentioned this in the court, and what he is most concerned about now is to reorganize the army.

The army is composed of three aspects. On the one hand, the Western Army is sorted out. The subduing of the Western Army also means that the role of the Western Army has declined, and the court does not need to burn 20 to 30 million yuan on them every year. However, how to cut, sort out, and how to place the Western Army is also a troublesome. If you are not careful, it will lead to a military change, and it will be a chaos in the world!

The second aspect is the sorting and decommissioning of the Eastern Army. The Eastern Army includes the Kaifeng Imperial Army, the Hebei Imperial Army and other places. The total force is as high as 400,000 yuan on the books! The military pay consumed every year is also an astronomical figure, but except for a very small number of troops, there is almost no combat power. After the new military soldiers showed combat power no less than the Western Army, it became meaningless to retain the Eastern Army.

But the court cannot kick away those imperial guards who do anything with one kick, just those who can't fight. Otherwise, once this group of people starts to make trouble, it will be a big trouble.

The third aspect is of course the expansion of the new government soldiers. After so many years of exploration and practice, everyone can see the goodness of the new government soldiers. Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu used the new government soldiers to win many victories in the northwest. These soldiers are no worse than the Western Army, and there is no need to compare with the Eastern Army.

Moreover, the right-ranking Jinshi exam for selecting new military officers will be held next year. At that time, at least 200 Jinshi will be at least 200! If you really want to start a new military officer, it is hard to say that you will get 500 or even 1,000 Jinshi exams.

However, there are still a lot of problems to solve when expanding the new government soldiers, such as military system, military supplies, equipment, military pay, merit rewards, military discipline, training, etc.

If you ask the military command of the Knights Academy of Yuntai Academy and Wu Haogu to find a way, you have to do it for a while. If the important officials of the two governments think about the mistakes... you will definitely mess up the blame!

But this matter cannot be delayed all the time, but it is related to the major event of the Northern Expedition of Yanyun, and it can save tens of millions of dollars a year!

So during this period, Cai Jing and Su Che were both a little afraid to ask the right questions.

But no matter how scared you are, you have to see the emperor. You can't resign from the position of prime minister because there is no way, right? And if they both resign, those who have the means can come to power? Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu probably have a way. Can they make one of them the left prime minister and the other the right prime minister? It is impossible, even the Privy Councilor and the Minister of War cannot let them come.

Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing and Su Che, and knew that the two of them were at a loss. He just sighed softly, "It's a pity that Mr. Dongpo left too early."

Su Dongpo of course had a solution. He was not alone, but a school, and an empirical school that specializes in solving problems!

When Cai Jing heard what Zhao Ji said, he had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the three things of rectifying the Western Army, rectifying the Eastern Army and expanding the New Army should be based on the expansion of the New Army. Because the court must have a military force that can be used to fight in order to abolish and rectify the old army."

This is true.

If you don’t have soldiers in your hands, you want to take the Eastern Army or the Western Army. If someone rebels, you will not die.

Zhao Ji nodded, "That's right, then when can the new army be formed? Wu Haogu only took a few months to create more than 10,000 new soldiers who can fight in the northwest!"

Yes, this shouldn't be difficult!

Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu easily formed a large number of new soldiers. Now it’s Cai Jing and Su Che’s turn. You can’t be at a loss, right?

"Your Majesty, if you want to reorganize the army, you will first choose the general." Cai Jing thought, "After the competition next year, the right-listed Jinshi can be used as the general. The matter of reorganizing the army can naturally advance quickly."

"But we should come up with a solution, right?" Zhao Ji was not very satisfied. "Cai Qing, Su Qing, you must instruct the Ministry of War to come up with a solution as soon as possible. I will also let the Privy Council find a solution together. We must prepare the law of building the army before the competition next year."

"I received the order..."

"The old minister received the order."

...

Goryeo, Busan Pu.

Yin Guan, who returned to Busan Pu, had already had a more official position in the south camp. The south camp was of course responsible for engaging in the south, and this south was not the Danluo Kingdom. Otherwise, the army commanded by Yin Guan could not go out to sea at all, and even if it barely left the sea, it could only feed fish.

This south is Japan that is closed to the country... Although the Japanese in this era have no other sins except for being arrogant, they are closed to the country and do not care about the outside world at all. But for some reason, they still have not escaped the clutches of the treacherous ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Standing at Busan Pu Pier and looking at the red castle that was getting taller across the sea and the fleet ready to go in the bay, Yin Guan could only sigh.

Although he sympathized with the innocent Japanese, he still had to bite the bullet and issue an order to cross the sea to attack Japan. Because he was closed to the country, there was no navy at all. He probably didn't know how to go to the Japanese army of Danluo. Last year, he sent troops to attack the sacred territory of Goryeo...

"Dagan, the north wind is strong now. If you go out to sea immediately, the fleet will arrive at Tsushima Island tonight. I guess there is no need to fight. If you scare the Japanese officers and soldiers on Danluo Island, you should offer the island to subdue."

Ji Yi's voice rang in Yin Guan's ears, suggesting that Yin Guan immediately order the fleet to set sail.

"Will the wind be too strong? In the past, ships on Japanese missions often overturned by wind. It's better to wait for the wind to be smaller before going."

"Don't worry," Ji Yi smiled, "The wind is not very strong, and the ten warships dispatched this time are very strong and can withstand the wind and waves."

In fact, there were not many soldiers in the south camp of Yin Guan. He only selected 3,000 people from the Beef Martial Arts class that was being trained. Yin Guan's eldest son Yin Yanren and Busan Pu's commander Quan Enzo served as the commander-in-chief. He took ten Song Kingdom warships to cross the sea to occupy Tsushima Island and Yinqi Island.

The outcome of the battle is almost suspense. Because the Japanese rich Abiliu family on Tsushima Island did not even have 200 samurai, and even if they mobilized peasants to help the war, they could not produce 1,000 people. Facing the 7 warships of the Song Dynasty and the 2,000 army of the Goryeo Kingdom (the remaining warships and soldiers went to Yinqi Island), they might not resist at all because Yin Yan had received the order from Yin Guan, allowing the Abiliu family to retreat to Kyushu Island, Japan after handing over Tsushima Island, and at the same time bring the Great Goryeo to declare war on Japan.

As for Yinqi Island, it seems to be even less worth mentioning. It is just a distant place for Japanese exiled nobles, and there are not many defenders at all.

The Goryeo court was still very careful about the invasion of Japan and did not want to invade Kyushu, Honshu, let alone Shikoku Island. They just wanted to take down Tsushima Island and Hitoki Island, and then let Japan interact with themselves with an equal state gift.

Such a war seems to have only benefits, but no risks. However, Yin Guan always feels that things are not that simple... The treacherous ministers of the Song Dynasty were so treacherous, how could they not cheat the Goryeo Kingdom?

But now the arrow is on the string, and I have to fire it!

"Okay!" Yin Guan sighed and issued an order, "Send troops! Send troops to Tsushima Island and Yinqi Island!"

When the ten warships in Puzhong in Busan rose sails, rowed their long oars, and slowly sailed outside Pusan. On the walls of the half-built Jue Cinema, Su Shi was looking at the sea with a distant tube.
