The howling north wind was carrying sand and dust, causing Daxing City, Nanjing, to fall into a dimness.

The west of Daxing Prefecture City and inside the Wei Palace, it is also in a state of misery.

Since Wanyan Zongwang killed Song Zhuangzong Zhao Ji, his health has been bad. It seems that he was caught by evil. In short, he has always dreamed that Zhao Ji was still alive and caught by him. He sent him to Wuguo City to drink the northeast wind. Sometimes Zhao Ji would ask for his life from Wanyan Zongwang in his dream, which often scared Zongwang into a cold sweat. Originally, this nightmare was nothing. Wanyan Zongwang was known as the prince of the Bodhisattva, and could he still be afraid of Zhao Ji's ghost? But that year, he was still hit by heat, and he fell into the root of the disease. He was always thirsty and his body became weak. If he dreamed of Zhao Ji again, he would be a little unable to withstand it. Every time he dreamed, his body became weaker.

Wanyan Zonggan was also afraid that this best brother who could beat him would leave like this, so he did not let him go to Weibo Town to take office, but instead asked his son Wanyan Qi to go to Weibo Town to supervise the army and let Zong Wang stay in Daxing Prefecture to recuperate.

However, after raising it, he still became thinner and thinner. Fortunately, he was still in good spirits. Just when everyone thought he could survive the eleventh year of the Tianhui, Wanyan Xiebao, who had been away for a long time, suddenly returned from the Western Regions with a full load. I won’t mention the common things like gold, silver and treasures. Of course, I don’t like those with such high sentiments. And I still think it’s heavy, so when I crossed the grasslands in the northern desert, I gave him a good answer, which stopped Huerzha Hus of the Bukelie tribe.

Huerzha Hus's father was Mogus. Because he had rebelled too early, he did not meet Yelu Yanxi's good opponent, but instead faced Yanxi's grandfather Yelu Hongji (Xiao Feng's sworn brother). Although this guy was a fool, he was a very cruel fool. So Mogus asked him to send troops to capture him and cut him into pieces.

Because of this Liangzi, Kelie's tribe and Yelu Dashi have always had grudges. In addition, after Yelu Dashi recognized Zhao Kai as his father for Yelu Yanxi, he forbidden the Mobei tribes from plundering the Hexi army in the Song Dynasty.

As a result, Huerzha Husi was extremely dissatisfied with Dashi. At this time, Wanyan Xiebao, who wanted to return east, sent someone to contact Huerzha Husi, asked him to help lead the way, and gave him a large sum of gold, silver and treasures.

After giving the gold and silver to others, the treasure that Wanyan Xibao brought back was the ocean horse produced in Persia! There were four legs and two legs!

Among them, there were as many as 3,000 Persian horses on four legs! Following Xibao's thousand Jurchen soldiers who came back from the Western Regions, everyone rode on Persian horses!

And the two-legged ones are even better, but the number is not three thousand, only three hundred.

Wanyan Xie did not take the treasures alone when he could protect them. After arriving in Daxing Mansion, he gave a "foreign horse gift" to the senior management of Marshal Du's Mansion and the governor who was restrained by Marshal Guidu's Mansion. Even Wanyan Zonggou, who was also harming the little tiger in Goryeo, received a gift!

Although Wanyan Zongwang was almost out of control in Daxing Prefecture, Wanyan Xiebao still didn't forget him. He also told the people around him, "The second prince has not enjoyed the military service for the Great Jin Kingdom for a few years, why can't he do it? Why do he have to let him enjoy Hu Ji and die again?"

As a result, the day after Wanyan Xiebao visited the Wei Palace, the Bodhisattva Prince Wanyan Zongwang vomited blood, and he saw that it was no longer possible.

Yesterday, the doctor who diagnosed Wanyan Zongwang secretly told the princess Wanyan Shigu who had been taking care of him by Zongwang that it was time to prepare for his funeral.

A little girl from Wanyan Shigu lost her opinion at that time and went to report the letter to Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Liang in tears.

Early this morning, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongqiang, Wanyan Zongmin, Wanyan Xinilie, Wanyan Ningji, Wanyan Yansun, Wanyan Ohu, all of them came together. They were sitting quietly beside Wanyan Zongwang's sickbed, looking at the dying brothers, looking at them, feeling depressed.

Wanyan Xiebao and Wanyan Liang's cousins ​​also came. Wanyan Liang sat next to her father's family and did not look at her uncle who was about to die. Instead, he stared at Wanyan Xiebao with so many Persian beards, but he didn't even give him one. It was really hateful.

Wanyan Xibao looked at Wanyan Liang with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked unhappy. What did this kid want to do? Do you want to cut off my family’s vassal? Humph, there is no door!

Wanyan Zongwang, who was as thin as a skeleton, was lying on the bed, looking at the beams with his eyes open, his eyebrows were already twisted, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

Wanyan Zongwang's little wife Yu Liyan was by Wanyan Zongwang's side, quietly watching the man who occupied him, dazed that he was dead. Can I leave? Go to my grandfather (Zhao Kai) to live a good life.

At this moment, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice: "Zhao Kai has arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture?"

When Wanyan Zonggan heard his question, he felt sad, good brother! He is like this, and he is still worried about the country and the people!

Wanyan Zonggan nodded, with tears in his eyes, "Zhao Kai is training troops in Kaifeng Prefecture! It is reported that he gathered 400,000 troops in Kaifeng Prefecture."

Zhao Kai gathered the soldiers from Kaifeng Prefecture, and the total utility was 240,000. However, Kaifeng Prefecture itself is an important town, with tens of thousands of troops stationed all year round, and there are also thousands of Ma Yi from the Zushi Department, who also have military status. Zhao Kai himself brought some troops from Luoyang with some troops. In other words, the total strength of Kaifeng Prefecture is about 260,000. It is said to be 400,000, and the moisture is not too much.

However, even if Zhao Kai concentrated 400,000 troops, Wanyan Zonggan was not too worried.

Because the number of soldiers was compared to the number of soldiers, the Great Jin Kingdom was not inferior to the Northern Song Dynasty, let alone the Southern Song Dynasty. Unlike later generations imagined, the relationship between the number of troops and the number of people in ancient times was not that big. Of course, the relationship existed, but it did not mean that there was a fixed ratio between the population and the number of troops.

In fact, the proportion of population and military number depends on what kind of military system the country implements?

For example, some countries can implement the military household system for all people, some countries implement the military household system (military households, government soldiers, noble citizens, nationalities, warriors, Meng'an Mouke, Eight Banners, etc., which are actually similar), and some countries have the military recruitment system. The military mobilization capabilities under these three systems are very different.

When the Jurchens first emerged, the whole people were soldiers, but now the Dajin is mainly based on the military household system. The main ones who undertake military service are the Jurchens, Khitans, and Bohai people who are now more than 100 Meng'an and more than 1,000 Mukes in the Dajin country, with a total household of more than 300,000, and about 3 million people.

And even if one family sends out one army, there will be a army of 300,000! Among them, the Marshal's Mansion and the seven subordinates of the governors can pull out at least 200,000 people, and then add unsubsistence forces and various traitor soldiers. How can the army of more than 300,000 can be gathered together?

Zhao Kai only had more than 400,000 military households in his hands, and with the effectiveness, he sent 500,000 troops to the end.

As for the approximately 20 million non-military Han people ruled by Zhao Kai's Luoyang court, Zhao Kai did not have so much land to be distributed to them. Instead of giving land and not having enough food and salary, why should we come to join the army and fight?

Therefore, the military strength of the two countries, the Great Jin and Northern Song dynasties, was completely illusion that Zhao Kai could use the number to kill the Jin Kingdom.

The Southern Song Dynasty, which had the largest population and the highest tax revenue among the "Two Songs and One Jin", was actually the worst military mobilization capability among the Three Kingdoms.

Because the Southern Song Dynasty had no military households, it implemented a recruitment system, and it required enough food and salary to recruit soldiers! The economy in the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively developed, and it was easier for ordinary people to make money, so the cost of recruiting soldiers was naturally high. The order of recruiting 100 to 200 jin was often used. There were also double salary at the end of the year, and there were also various rewards for soldiers once. Of course, Zhao Huan was generous in sending money, but because the Southern Song Dynasty did not use the existing stock of land, the benefits of the soldiers were actually not divided. The Northern Song Dynasty had more money. If the soldiers were given less money, the soldiers would lose their energy.

When the money is given, the number of troops will be reduced. Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty, which has the largest population, arable land, and taxes, can mobilize the smallest troops among the Three Kingdoms, only about 300,000, and the navy occupied 100,000 and the army only had 200,000.

"Four hundred thousand" Wanyan Zongwang seemed to have a look back, and his mind became clear. "The number is not a problem, the problem is that their firearms are sharp, their cavalry are not weak, and their soldiers are also trying their best. The top and the bottom are really strong enemies!"

Wanyan Zong's tears fell down, "Olubu, don't worry about this, with me here, the big gold will not be destroyed."

"Oh, I can't do it anymore, otherwise our brothers can still be together." Wanyan Zongwang smiled bitterly and slowly turned his face, looking at Zonggan, "Brother, I'm thinking about a question these days. How about Zhao Kai's use of military force compared to Chai Rong? How about Zhao Guangyi?"

"It must be better than them!"

Wanyan Zongwang nodded with difficulty, "Chai Rong died of illness in Waqiao Pass, but before he could go deep into Youyan, the Khitan army had gathered in Yanbei and prepared to fight Chai Rong at the city of Youzhou. This arrangement was later used on Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi defeated Gaoliang River and 200 Qigou Pass! Later, during the Xuanhe Northern Expedition, Tong Guan fought two battles on the north bank of Baigou River in both north."

Wanyan Zonggan understood what his brother meant, "Wulubu, what do you mean is that we still have to lure the enemy into the depths and fight the Song people to the death in the south of Daxing Prefecture?"

Wanyan Zongwang nodded: "Zhao Kai will definitely take Youyan directly in the Northern Expedition, Youyan won, Jingdong, Hebei and other places, what else is difficult to fight? So we just need to wait for our leisure. If we cannot win, we will retreat to Yuguan (the Shanhaiguan area in later generations). At that time, we will be able to concentrate our efforts to fight life and death with Zhao Kai inside and outside Yuguan!"

His voice became lighter and softer, until silent.

On the afternoon of October 18, the Great Jin Wei King Wanyan Zongwang died!
