Tu Dan had never been wary of Wan Yanliang's questions and nodded naturally.
"Many ministers came to me to talk about this matter. I hope I can persuade you. Emperor, the Southern Expedition is important, but stabilizing the country is even more important. At present, there is a rebellion in the country and there are strong enemies outside. It is the time to stabilize the internal affairs. , it is really not suitable to launch a southern expedition at this time."
Wan Yanliang lowered his head and did not speak for a while. Instead, he was thinking about who told Tu Dan about this matter and asked Tu Dan to persuade him.
He was very unhappy.
"emperor?"
Tu Dan didn't say anything after watching Yan Liang, so he asked him again.
Wan Yanliang then raised his head and forced a smile.
"Mother, my son has also thought deeply about this matter. My son believes that such a matter should not be delayed, but should be implemented as soon as possible. While we still have elite soldiers, we can deal with the Southern Kingdom as much as possible."
"Why be in a hurry? Will the Kingdom of Jin not have brave soldiers and wise generals in ten or eight years?"
Tu Shan asked in confusion: "Emperor, although I am a woman, I also know that elite soldiers and generals can be cultivated. Since so many ministers are against it, we can think that now is indeed not the best time to attack the Song Dynasty. The emperor should think twice before acting."
Wan Yanliang couldn't bear the irritation in her heart and really didn't want to continue arguing with Tu Dan here.
So he casually said a few words and then stood up and excused himself.
This was the shortest visit to him since he brought Tu Shan to Zhongdu.
Seeing that Wanyan Liang was in a hurry to leave, Tu Dan knew that his persuasion failed, so she had no choice but to nod and let him leave.
It seems that Wan Yanliang's will is very firm and cannot be persuaded casually.
Tu Shan felt disappointed, but she didn't know that her persuasion was slowly putting her in a dangerous situation.
After Wan Yanliang returned to the palace, he asked his confidant eunuch Liang Jue to take charge of something.
"Go and find out who are the people who paid homage to the Queen Mother and let her know about my southern expedition. I want to know who these people are."
"Here, old slave, go and do it immediately!"
After being beaten, Liang Ju learned a lesson. Wan Yanliang said whatever he said, and he would never refute or ask why. He made up his mind to be a ruthless tool.
He knew that Wan Yanliang liked tool people who did more and talked less.
While letting people do things, Wan Yanliang continued to advance the Southern Expedition.
Wanyan Alin led the troops south more to stabilize the situation in Hebei, which Wanyan Liang knew very well.
As long as he controls Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion, he can stabilize the situation in Hebei and buy time for him to mobilize the army.
As for the rebel rebellion in Shandong, it cannot be put down by just 20,000 cavalry. It requires a large army to press forward with the power of Mount Tai to put it out.
He continued to issue various orders to various departments, and in an extremely tough and non-negotiable tone required each department to vigorously implement the mobilization order in accordance with his will.
He wants to mobilize all the Jurchen soldiers to participate in the war among the fourteen roads that Jin Ting still has complete control over, and then allow local governments to match the number of Jurchen soldiers to issue signing armies composed mainly of Han and Khitan people in varying numbers.
He estimated that he would mobilize at least 300,000 female real soldiers and a larger number of signed military groups to form a massive one-million-strong army, so as to prove the strength of the Jin Empire and dominate the world.
Even if millions cannot be organized, we will still build an army of hundreds of thousands. When the time comes, it will be called a million, which will be enough to scare those weak opponents.
In short, you have to save face.
As the news spread, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty knew that persuasion had no effect. The emperor insisted on going his own way and still wanted to march south. While feeling worried, he had no choice but to start doing things.
There is no excuse for the emperor to kill people. This emperor is really unambiguous when he kills people.
At the same time, Wanyan Alin, who finally received the appointment, hurriedly accepted the order and arrived at the military camp outside the city. After reviewing the army, he met with Pusanhutu.
"Your Majesty only gave me 20,000 troops, but asked me to divide the troops into two groups to support Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion. I thought the number of troops and horses was not enough, so I asked the Prime Minister to write to Your Majesty to allocate more men and horses."
Wanyan Alin felt that he had to rescue two important towns with only 20,000 troops, which made him feel uneasy.
Pusanhutu shook his head.
"The imperial court has soldiers and horses, but it takes time to assemble them. Apart from these troops, the only ones left that can be assembled in a short time are the garrison of the capital. Do you think I can give them to you?"
Wanyan Alin sighed.
There is indeed no other mobile force that can be allocated to him at the moment, and 20,000 cavalry is really not a small number in the cavalry battle sequence. It can even be regarded as a huge military strategic force that no country can despise.
But there is something bad about cavalry.
Too much consumption.
The main consumption is not people, but horses.
One person is paired with two horses. The two horses consume much more food than the person, and sometimes the food is better than the person. Therefore, the logistics supply requirements of the 20,000 cavalry are comparable to the 100,000 infantry army.
Therefore, Wan Yanliang's ability to give him 20,000 cavalry was already very meaningful. It would have been quite reasonable for another emperor to have given him 10,000 cavalry.
However, according to Wanyan Alin's own judgment, the number of the Liberation Army he faced may exceed 100,000. If he only relied on his own army, it would be very difficult to win the battle and stabilize the situation.
So he still raised his concerns.
"I heard that the number of rebels is very large, even more than 100,000, but I only have 20,000 cavalry, and I have to fight in two groups. This is quite inappropriate."
"The troops given to you are all elite soldiers, and the rebel army is just a mob. It is not difficult to rescue the siege, right? The supplies consumed by these 20,000 troops are comparable to that of a hundred thousand infantry troops, and their combat power is also comparable to that of a hundred thousand infantry troops. Does the general think that he has not won? Are you sure?"
Pusanhutu looked at Wanyan Alin and directly used the provoking method.
"No matter how elite you are, it is difficult to defeat one against ten... I can only say that I will try my best, but I can't guarantee much. Or, can you persuade your Majesty to wait until more troops are gathered before going out? If you don't have cavalry, infantry will do."
Wanyan's Lin looked at the servants scattered and turned around, his face full of hope.
Pusanhutu could only lower his head and sigh.
"It will take more time to assemble the infantry, but His Majesty can't wait any longer. His Majesty urgently requires you to stabilize the situation. There are no more troops to give you. I will tell you everything, but don't tell anyone."
Pu Sanhu Tu looked around, then approached Wanyan Alin and spoke in a low voice.
"After you go on the expedition, the next step will be your Majesty's personal expedition. Your Majesty has decided to mobilize the national army for the southern expedition. You are equivalent to the vanguard. You are not seeking a big victory. The bottom line is that you can lift the siege of Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion.
Of course, it would be better if the siege of Daming Mansion could be solved incidentally. His Majesty has ordered the recruitment of 200,000 manpower to build Kaifeng Mansion, and there are plans to continue to move the capital south to Kaifeng Mansion. If you can open up the middle road, The provincial majesty will personally get through it when the time comes. "
Pusanhutu told Wanyan Alin everything he could learn and did not hide anything.
