"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The one who has something to say is Military Councilor Du Chong. Although this guy is a traitor, he has been very active since becoming a military councilor.
Zhao Kai glanced at him and asked, "Senior Du, what good ideas do you have?"
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the focus of recruiting troops this time should be in Xiangzhou!" Du Chong explained, "Xiangzhou has been a place for martial arts since ancient times. The people are strong and brave, and the Han family of Xiangzhou is tolerant to the weak and indulges the powerful. People. Therefore, the folk customs of Xiangzhou are far stronger than those of Ci, Xing (Xinde Prefecture), Zhao and other states as well as Zhending Prefecture, and there are many powerful farmers who are suitable for joining the army!"
"I've heard people say that the people of Xiangzhou are tough and the lonely king is strong." Zhao Kai nodded lightly. Yue Fei is from Xiangzhou, and he seems to have a group of fellow villagers under him. According to Sima Si's investigation, Yue Fei's origin was just a client of the Han family...that is, a tenant!
It would be good if the tenants in other families could barely survive, but Yue Fei, a client of the Han family, had practiced martial arts and could even ride a horse! According to Chen Ji's report, Yue Fei went to the Pingding Army to serve as a cavalry sergeant. If you can be the leader of a cavalry team, how can your equestrian skills be so bad? And Yue Fei couldn't have gone through the back door. He must have gotten there by relying on his martial arts skills.
So Yue Fei must be a strong man with strong martial arts and proficient in equestrian skills!
And since ancient times, people have been poor in culture and rich in martial arts... If you are hungry every day, starved to the point of malnutrition, and underdeveloped, you will not be able to learn martial arts even if you want to! Moreover, Yue Fei is still the leader of the cavalry team. If there is no horse for him to ride every day at home, he would not be able to do this.
Therefore, the Yue Fei family must not be very poor, at least as good as rich farmers elsewhere. If Xiangzhou had many "rich farmers" like the Yue Fei family, it would really be a pretty good source of troops.
"In that case, recruit more soldiers in Xiangzhou!" Zhao Kai looked at Du Chong, "Senior Du, you are from Xiangzhou. How many soldiers do you think you can recruit in Xiangzhou?"
Du Chong smiled and held out two fingers: "If the king can trust me, let me go to Xiangzhou to recruit troops. If you give me three months, I can guarantee to recruit 20,000 troops for the king!"
"There are not three months," Zhao Ji waved his hand, "We will first recruit 10,000 people to the lonely king within one month, and we will talk about the rest later!
In addition, the counselor is a civil servant and does not know the quality of the soldiers, so he has to send a military attache to go with the counselor to recruit troops! Who wants to go through this? "
"I am willing to go there!"
He Yuan's eldest son He Ji stepped forward. Under Zhao Kai's promotion, he is now a "fake Hengban" - the reason why he is "fake" is because Zhao Kai has no right to appoint Hengxing officers. He has not yet I'm wearing a yellow robe! So He Ji's rampage was private.
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded, "I'll leave it to He Tongzhi...He Tongzhi can select a hundred officers and troops from the Ya Army and Wei Mansion Army, and five hundred soldiers to go with him.
Lü Changshi took another 200,000 pieces of property from the warehouse and gave it to He Tongzhi and Du Shenzhen for the purpose of recruiting troops.
In addition, this time Xiangzhou recruits troops, the main control should be, and Du Counselor will be the second one! "
There is no such thing as using culture to control military force in Zhao Kai's case! Moreover, the He family and his son were Zhao Kai's distant servants, and their status was not comparable to that of ordinary warriors.
And Du Chong had just made a big mistake. It would have been nice if he had not been in a car (carriage) accident or choked to death after drinking cold water. How could he still have military power? Now is the time to perform well to redeem your past mistakes!
Therefore, He Ji and Du Chong had no objection to Zhao Kai's arrangement and happily received the military order.
In addition to the two of them, Liu Qi, Ma Kuo, He Tianran, who was an official, and Wang Tuge, who was from the Western Army (Han Shizhong's department), and others also received dispatches. Liu Qi went to Cizhou to recruit troops, Ma Kuo went to Zhending Prefecture to recruit troops, He Tianran went to Zhaozhou to recruit troops, and Wang Tuge went to Xinde Prefecture to recruit troops. Zhao Kai gave the four of them a low target of 5,000 each, and he also allowed them to recruit rebels to top up the number, but it must be real troops and not imaginary.
In addition, these four people also received one hundred thousand guan of goods each according to the standard of setting up a home with a soldier and 20 guan of goods, and also received a group of subordinates to protect them.
As a result, Zhao Kai's Marshal's Mansion's treasures were reduced by another 600,000 yuan... It was really like running water!
...
The meeting at the Marshal's Mansion has ended, and most of the officials have left the Daming Mansion's palace and gone to work on their own - there are a lot of things going on in all aspects now! The first is to move the town to Xiangzhou. Not only Zhao Kai's Shuai Mansion is leaving, Cai Mao's Cao Division, but also the Tiju Changping Division and Tidian Criminal Prison Division on Hebei East Road, as well as the Hebei East Road Division headed by the Tidian Criminal Prison Division. Duzuoyuan (responsible for the production of weapons) will also be moved to Xiangzhou. With these yamen, if Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were arrested by the Jin people, Zhao Kai could immediately establish an "anti-Jin court" to lead the entire people to resist the Jin.
The second is to continue to reorganize and train the army. After the war in Wei County, Zhao Kai's army expanded again. Together with the regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, the total number has reached more than 31,000 people. Five thousand of them will stay in Daming Mansion and wait for Li Lu, the pacification envoy of Hebei East Road, to come and take over. The remaining 26,000 people will follow them to Xiangzhou. This requires some rectification.
Therefore, most of the officials are very busy now. Only Du Chong, who has no actual errands, is relatively free. Even if he received the mission to recruit troops from Xiangzhou, he has no errands to answer and is just waiting to set off. But this was not the reason why he still stayed in the Chongzheng Hall of Damingfu Palace after everyone else left.
"Senior Du, do you have anything to say to the lonely king?"
Zhao Kai did not leave, but was immersed in processing official documents - there was nothing important, just a bunch of promotion and appointment documents, so he was now reviewing official documents and asking questions.
Du Chong said: "Your Majesty, I thought your Majesty had something to ask, so I didn't leave."
"Oh," Zhao Kai thought for a moment and seemed to have something to ask, so he said, "Senior Du, you have nothing to do with the Han family, right?"
"There is no festival." Du Chong said, "I am from Anyang. I studied in an academy run by the Han family in my early years. I am considered half a member of the Han family. How can there be a festival?"
"Oh." Zhao Kaixin said: You must have been bullied by a certain Mr. Han when you were studying in the Han family's academy, or you may have fallen in love with a young lady from the Han family and then made a private engagement for life but then regretted the marriage or something... .So now you want to take revenge?
Du Chong didn't know that Zhao Kai had such a weird idea. When he saw that Zhao Kai didn't speak, he explained himself: "I am a counselor and have been an official in Hebei for many years. I am also a person from Xiangzhou. I think I am very important to the resistance." Regarding gold matters, I can still make some suggestions.”
"Oh." Zhao Kai nodded and said to himself: I listen to Yue Fei on the matter of resisting the Jin Dynasty. As for you... just say what you want!
Du Chongyan said: "I thought it was not difficult to resist the Jin Dynasty, but I dare to offend a rich family!"
"Offend the wealthy family?" Zhao Kai looked up at Du Chong, this guy really dared to say that!
But that’s indeed what happened!
Most of the land in the world was occupied by wealthy families. If Zhao Kai wanted to successfully resist the Jin Dynasty, he had to recruit camp soldiers - the camp soldiers received land rent, while the recruited soldiers received taxes. How much ground rent can be charged? How much is the land tax? The former is at least several times more! Not only does the latter receive less, but it also has to distribute profits layer by layer. In the end, the amount that can actually be used for military purposes has to be compromised.
And if we want to launch a large-scale military camp, we must seize the land of wealthy families!
And seizing land...certainly won't be easy!
Zhao Kai thought for a while and asked again: "Does the wealthy family you are talking about refer to the Han family in Xiangzhou?"
"The Han family has always been weak and not worth mentioning. Your Majesty, feel free to take action." Du Chong said, "Because I know the details of the Han family, I suggested that your highness start offending the wealthy families in Xiangzhou... But the wealthy families elsewhere, But the Han family in Xiangzhou is not as easy to offend!"
When Du Chong pushed out the Han family from Xiangzhou to receive the first blow, he was actually submitting a petition to Zhao Kaina!
Zhao Kai was silent for a while, nodded and said: "The lonely king understands, you go prepare for the trip to Xiangzhou... Give the lonely king 10,000 brave men within a month, and the previous things will be treated as if they never happened! "
Du Chong breathed out, the petition finally took effect... But he would not dare to do such a thing to offend a wealthy family again in the future!
