With the Jin army in a strategic advantage, it is still possible to try the strategy of disintegration to deal with the Khitans.
However, Wan Yanliang was not in the right state at this time, and the Khitan rebels must be wiped out, so that Tu Shanzhen did not dare to speak out his suggestions.
Not to mention the Han people. The Jin army is in a passive position and is being beaten. Recruitment?
The devil only listens to you.
Thinking like this, Wan Yanliang suddenly felt very unwilling and unsafe.
"No, the navy still needs to be built. We can't let the navy of the Han pirates run amok! Once they land, they can attack the coastal state capitals arbitrarily. Even if our army is surrounded, they can quickly retreat from the sea and our army cannot pursue them. , how passive! How can you sit back and ignore things when you do things like this?!"
He slapped the table and decided to rebuild the Navy.
This decision shocked the two elders of the Privy Council and quickly dissuaded him.
"Your Majesty, this... the national treasury really cannot support it."
"Your Majesty, the losses this time are too great, and it is really impossible to rebuild in a short time."
Wan Yanliang was very angry.
"Of course I know, but I know even better that without the navy, the entire coastal area is the target of the Han thieves. They can attack anywhere at will, but our army can only be led by the nose by them! Furthermore, they We can directly threaten Zhongdu from the sea, but it is difficult for our army to set up defenses on land. You tell me, what should I do if the bandit army comes to Zhongdu?!"
"Your Majesty, this is indeed true, but..."
Heshi Lieliangbi looked bitter: "The imperial court really can't come up with any money! The water and land camp was attacked by a sneak attack before, and the court's losses were too great. It's not that the ministers don't know the hardship of the situation. It really can't spare the money to rebuild the water and land camp." Master."
Seeing He Shi Lieliangbi's bitter expression, Wan Yanliang frowned and remained silent.
Is the court really out of money?
real.
Is the Kingdom of Jin out of money?
Obviously not.
The lack of money in the court means that the public has no money, but it does not mean that the Kingdom of Jin has no money. The Kingdom of Jin is very rich, very rich, extremely rich.
Rich private businessmen, landowners, official dignitaries, and royal family members all control large amounts of land wealth and live extremely luxurious lives.
The amount of wealth they consume together in one month can create a navy army that will dominate the world.
Theoretically speaking, all this wealth belonging to the rich and powerful is invested in the military and public sectors, which can crush Su Yonglin into a scum within a year and let him know what the iron fist of imperialism is.
However, this possibility does not exist.
They can spend a lot of money on themselves and buy any luxury goods they can buy for their favorite concubine, but it is absolutely impossible to spend a penny for the Kingdom of Jin.
This wealth, including Wan Yanliang's own personal expenses, cannot belong to the imperial court or belong to the public domain.
This wealth cannot be used to build a naval army, an infantry army, or a cavalry army, nor can it be used to build water conservancy projects to improve people's livelihood. It can only be used for luxury enjoyment.
This cannot be changed.
This group of people almost never pay taxes to the court. They have ten thousand ways to evade taxes. The court can only bully the weak and tax ordinary people and the poor.
There is no way, who allows the poor to have more power without having power?
Wan Yanliang himself was actually very rich. He had killed so many relatives and robbed so many families of their wealth. No fool would believe that he was not the richest individual in the entire Jin Kingdom.
But Wan Yanliang obviously won't use his own money to build a navy army. Even if his money is used on others, it will be used to win over people's hearts and the morale of the army, rather than to engage in construction and invest in this bottomless pit.
Moreover, based on his understanding of the ministers, if this money is invested in the court and handed over to the ministers for operation, it would be extraordinary if 40 to 50% of it is actually implemented. The conduct of these ministers is worse than that used in the toilet to wipe their butts. Silk, I believe they might as well believe there are ghosts in the world.
Therefore, Wan Yanliang would never hand over his wealth to ministers for use in state affairs.
As a result, the imperial court, which belongs to everyone, really cannot afford this money.
"Is it true that you can't spare any money to rebuild the navy?"
Wan Yanliang asked one last time unwillingly.
Heshi Lieliangbi was just about to say yes, when he suddenly thought of a possibility.
So he spoke decisively.
"It's not that it's completely impossible to get it out, if you say..."
Wan Yanliang's eyes lit up.
"What if you say something?"
"If His Majesty can order the suspension of the Kaifeng expansion project, then the money used for the expansion of Kaifeng can be diverted to rebuild the Navy."
Heshi Lieliangbi's picture shows a poor dagger.
Tu Shanzhen looked at Heshi Lieliangbi with a surprised look on his face - Good guy, you really know how to do it!
Doesn't this kill two birds with one stone?
It can not only rebuild the navy, but also indirectly prevent the emperor from causing trouble to attack the Song Dynasty in the future. What a good idea!
But before Tu Shanzhen could be happy for long, Wan Yanliang suddenly slammed the table with anger on his face.
"No! Never! The expansion of Kaifeng cannot be stopped! The navy must also be rebuilt! As for where the money is spent, I don't care. The purpose of giving salaries to you people is to let you share your worries. You can't even do this little thing. Come on, I might as well save my salary and rebuild the navy, rather than raising a bunch of drunkards!"
After saying that, Wan Yanliang left angrily. He Shi Lieliangbi and Tu Shanzhen were left stunned.
After a long time, Heshi Lieliangbi turned to look at Tu Shanzhen.
"this……"
"Smashed."
"Did it smash it?"
"It's really messed up."
Tu Shanzhen shook his head: "At this point, His Majesty is still unwilling to give up the attack on Song Dynasty. I am really worried."
Heshi Lieliangbi sighed heavily when he heard this.
"I'm starting to worry too."
The two Privy Council bosses began to worry about the future of the country and their own future.
However, Wan Yanliang still had no intention of correcting the problem of his stall being too wide, and planned to continue to fully advance his plan.
However, neither the Han Liberation Army nor the Khitan Liberation Army intended to make it easy for him.
Su Yonglin stopped talking and suppressed Jin Jun to fight, leaving no face for them.
After the Khitan Restoration Army experienced a great defeat, the morale of the army was turbulent. However, when facing the Jin Army in the Northern Expedition to Linhuang Prefecture, Sa Ba led the Khitan Restoration Army and fought against the Jin Army several times, and they were evenly matched.
The Jin Army cannot defeat the main force of the Khitan Restoration Army with its current strength, and the Khitan Restoration Army also lacks the combat effectiveness to defeat the Jin Army.
The two sides fell into a confrontation in the area south of Linhuang Mansion.
Wuyan Puluhun discussed tactics with Wanyan Yong many times in an attempt to break the deadlock, but faced little success against the relatively elite Khitan cavalry, so he could only wait for the court's cavalry to arrive, and then tried to use a large number of elite cavalry to open up the situation.
But they don't need to be too anxious, because the Khitan Restoration Army also has internal differences due to these battles.
The tragic defeat of Kuoli had a great impact on the Khitan Restoration Army.
Liaoyang Prefecture failed to be captured, and the four prefectures they had previously captured were recaptured by the Jin army. They lost more than 20,000 troops, which greatly damaged morale and the people's trust in the Khitan Restoration Army.
Previously, Saba wanted to continue going south to regain the lost territory, but was blocked by the Jin Army's Northern Expedition and was unable to advance.
The combat effectiveness of the Khitan Restoration Army was still a little bit inferior. Even if they had the advantage in military strength, they could not completely defeat the Jin Army.
Considering that the Khitan Restoration Army was now getting further and further away from the Han Liberation Army and was unable to achieve the previous strategic plan of cutting off the Jin Kingdom, Saba began to seriously think about the retreat of the Khitan Restoration Army.
Soon, a bold idea appeared in his mind.
Why not go to the west and join the re-established Liao Kingdom?
At that time, Yelu Dashi, a royal family member of the Liao Kingdom, was unwilling to succumb to the Jin Kingdom, but he could not defeat the Jin soldiers, so he went to the Western Regions with his clansmen and subordinates who were willing to follow him. In the Western Regions, he took advantage of the various contradictions of the local people and successfully rebuilt a Liao Dynasty. country.
In recent years, the Khitans living in the Yanyun area have occasionally heard news about Xiliao. It is said that they have done well and have defeated the Jin Kingdom's Western Expeditionary Force.
This is undoubtedly good news.
At present, the Jin Army has regained its footing and begun to fight steadily, taking advantage of its national strength, while the Khitan Restoration Army is like rootless duckweed, and it is difficult to compete with it for a long time.
The Han Restoration Army in the south will most likely not be able to rely on them. Su Yin never came back after he left, and he probably will never come back. So even if Saba wanted to coordinate the operation, he would not be able to do so.
You cannot gain an advantage in a head-on battle. Instead, as the strength of the Jin Army increases, there is a risk of failure. Then you must consider the possibility of continuing to fight to open up the situation.
If the situation cannot be opened, staying here will be a dead end. Since it is a dead end, why not jump out of this circle and go to Xiliao to survive?
If he can bring the Khitan people here and greatly increase the population of Xiliao, he will definitely receive courtesy from the royal family of Xiliao, and he will have a high status and generous treatment.
In this way, he could transform from a small translator under the Jin Kingdom into a nobleman of the Liao Dynasty.
The leaders who follow him will naturally receive corresponding treatment, and everyone will be very satisfied.
So there shouldn't be any objections.
Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt that this idea was very good and feasible.
So Saba decided to put this idea into practice. He summoned his main subordinates and began to discuss the plan with them.
