Hebei's battle must be fought, and under the current situation, we must win even more
Li Hu spoke.
"Only when we win a battle can we let the people of the world know who is fighting against the Jin army, guarding the country, who is surrendering and selling the country, and abandoning the country." Li Hu said seriously, "This is related to the support of the people. If we can get more people's support, the benefits to the great cause of Zhonghua are self-evident."
"Bianjing is the capital. It will take a long time to move it, but we must move it. We must never let the Jin thieves take advantage of it. We discussed it a few of us..." Li Hu pointed at Li Gang, Huang She and others and said, "We will first move the things from Bianjing to Luoyang. It will take about four to five months, so we must win a battle in Hebei before we can stick to the Yellow River defense line for a longer time, but we are not sure to stick to the end of the year. Therefore, under the last resort, we will destroy Bianjing."
Since he decided to give up Bianjing, it was reasonable to destroy it, and the emperor could understand this, but the question is, how to fight this battle? What method can be used to win? Everyone knows the benefits of winning a battle, but where does the money come from? What should we use to support the battlefield in Hebei?
"Bianjing's wealth supports the Hebei War."
After Li Hu said this, the emperor immediately smelled a bloody smell. He had been in the northwest for several years and could understand Li Hu. How could Li Hu rise to Liaodong by relying on burning, killing and looting. Now that Li Hu is determined to plunder wealth from Bianjing, he certainly has to use force.
"What are you going to do?" Emperor asked nervously.
"The old emperor left in a hurry, the prince fled faster, and the civil and military officials rushed away. Most of their wealth was lost in Bianjing, so of course we had to confiscate their wealth."
Anger surged out from the emperor's heart. Li Hu was too much, and he wanted to confiscate the royal wealth. If Li Hu dig three feet of ground for Li Hu, how much money could he collect? There is also the mansions of ministers such as Tong Guan and Zhang Bangchang, the wealth hidden in it must be an amazing number.
"These rebels can escape smoothly. They must have received help from many people. Their relatives, friends, disciples, and old officials are all accomplices. They will be arrested and their property will be confiscated."
The emperor's mind was involuntarily out of the tragic scene of the city massacre. The coldness instantly hit the bone marrow and the body fought several cold wars. His face turned pale and his eyes were full of fear.
Li Gang's expression was cold, his eyes were strong, Huang She sneered, and a trace of murderous aura appeared on the corner of his mouth. Liu Yanqing, and Zhe Keqiu's smile seemed to be natural.
Li Zongzhen changed his color in shock and blurted out, "If you can't do this, how many people will be involved? Bianjing will be in chaos. Thousands of people will flee their families."
"I just want the people of Bianjing to be afraid. Force them to flee and let them escape to the south of the Yangtze River." Li Hu laughed, "There are so many people in Bianjing. If they move to the northwest, what can they do to support them?"
Li Zongzhen was stunned. Raising a tiger is a disaster. Raising a tiger is a disaster. Li Hu went south to Song Dynasty and then went to defeat. Especially this split was caused by Li Hu. It gave the Song Dynasty a fatal blow. Several years later, when the Song Dynasty was destroyed, it looked back. It is not difficult to see how correct the original prophecy was. However, the old emperor, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others turned a blind eye. They insisted on raising a tiger as a disaster. They buried the Song Dynasty alive.
"There are many wealthy merchants in Bianjing, very rich. In peaceful times, the Song Dynasty protected them, supported them, and allowed them to enjoy a luxurious life. But today the Song Dynasty is in trouble. They should help the Song Dynasty and donate money and grain. Each household must pledge at least several million guan." Li Hu's tone suddenly turned cold, "If you resist donations, it means not to save you, it means to be ungrateful, or treason, then you should kill and confiscate all your property."
The emperor was cold all over and put his hands on his forehead, so he did not dare to look at Li Hu.
Li Zongzhen was angry and attacked his heart, but he did not dare to offend Li Hu, so he had to cover his hands and let out a painful and desperate cry from his mouth.
"Your Majesty, Bianjing is a mountain of gold. At this time of crisis, this mountain of gold is just used to save the country." Li Hu looked at the emperor with aggressive eyes. "Two days later, Liu Shuai brought the palace army back to Bianjing, and this important task will be completed by Liu Shuai."
The emperor gritted his teeth. Li Hu was cruel and ransacked Bianjing without bloodshed. However, the emperor was responsible for the crime. It was too cunning.
“This is a robbery, a bloody robbery.
”
"No, this is not a robbery." Li Hu shook his hand, "Everything is legal and within the scope of the law of the Great Song Dynasty. The old emperor and the princes betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire court betrayed the Great Song Dynasty. They were the rebellion of the Great Song Dynasty, and they deserved such punishment. As for their relatives, friends, disciples and officials, of course, they must be implicated, otherwise where is the power of Your Majesty's heaven? Where does the wealth of those rich and wealthy merchants come from? If they abide by the law and law, they can accumulate wealth of tens of millions of yuan? No, their wealth is obtained by illegal means. They have been stealing the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty and robbing the Great Song Dynasty's wealth. They are thieves. The Great Song Dynasty should have killed them long ago and taken back their own money."
The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over and wanted to pounce on him and bit Li Hu to death.
"We have estimated it." Huang She seemed to be angry at the emperor to death and said with a smile, "We can confiscate at least one billion yuan of money in Bianjing. Of course, this includes real estate, houses, workshops, etc., but these things can be sold at a low price. If we win a battle in Hebei, I believe these things can be sold at a good price."
"You wash Bian Jing
, Who has the money to buy land and houses?"
"Those rich and the little rich are not among our cleanings." Huang She smiled, "As long as the price of land and houses is cheap enough, and good news on the front line is frequent, someone will definitely buy it. In this way, we can exchange a large amount of gold, silver and silk. In addition, Beijing Daming Mansion needs to be cleaned and we are going to evacuate. The same is true for Nanjing Yingtian Mansion. If you should evacuate, you will immediately withdraw, so as not to get the gold thieves and the southeast thieves.
”
The emperor was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. This was a group of robbers, the extremely vicious robbers.
"What is this price compared to the great Song Dynasty?" Li Gang reminded kindly, "If we lose a war in Hebei and the Jin army leaks and occupy Bianjing, then these wealth will be plundered by the Jin thieves. With the financial resources, the strength will be stronger, and the great Song Dynasty will be even more dangerous."
The emperor also understood this simple truth, but Bianjing was his home, so he could not let him rob his own home and destroy his own home.

The tent was very peaceful, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's final decision.
The emperor gradually figured it out. He had nothing, and the most urgent task was to use Li Hu's force to defend half of the country. When the court established a three-point situation in the northwest, he had the opportunity to win over the Northwest generals and Guan Luoshu to establish his own strength step by step, and then he could compete with Li Hu and have the opportunity to swallow Li Hu. Otherwise, everything would be a fantasy.
You, Li Hu, used to seize the reign of the Song Dynasty, did I also use you to protect my country?
"I agree with your beloved ministers." The emperor calmed down and Li Gang planned to write a memorial.
Then, the emperor granted the title of the center according to the memorials of several ministers.
King Li Hu of Han was the Grand Tutor, and he was in charge of the military and national affairs of Pingzhang, the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly War, and the general commander of the three provinces and ministers. He was in charge of everything.
He was appointed as the prime minister and subordinate minister She was appointed as the deputy prime minister and minister of the Central Secretariat, Chai Yun was appointed as the minister of the Central Secretariat, Wang Yu was appointed as the left prime minister of the Shangshu, and Li Zongzhen was appointed as the right prime minister of the Shangshu.
He was appointed as the Minister of Privy Council, Liu Yanqing was appointed as the Minister of the General Privy Council, and Luo Qinghan was appointed as the Minister of the General Privy Council, so he was appointed as the Minister of the General Privy Council.
The above ten central ministers became the highest decision-making in the Song Dynasty.
General Li Hu~Military and political affairs, one person is below one person and above ten thousand people, and he monopolizes the power.
Li Hu's first memorial was to improve the status of a warrior.
=
The highest military position of the military man in the Song Dynasty was the commander of the palace, which is the so-called palace commander. (Although the Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, the chief of the Privy Council belongs to the civil servants, and is generally called the internal position.)
The Palace Commander is from the second rank, and he is from the same grade as the Privy Council, and from the highest military officer, the military governor.
Let’s take the third yamen as an example. Each of the three yamen has a commander commander, a deputy commander commander and a Du Yuhou. Among them, the commander commander in front of the hall is the second rank, the deputy commander commander is the fourth rank, and the commander commander of the guards and the commander commander of the two ranks of the two yamen is the fifth rank.
In addition to the palace commander, the chief and deputy chief of the Central Garage Army was only the fifth rank, and this rank was indeed too low.
The general is a commander in the general and is considered the commander of the army, but the rank of this military position is from the seventh rank, which is ridiculously low.
In the local area, the chief executives of the main prefectures, ordinary states, and military troops are generally from the fifth rank, while the county-level chief supervisors are from the seventh rank.
From this we can see that there are only one military post in the Song Dynasty, one is from the second rank, one is from the fourth rank, two is from the fifth rank, and then the rest is from the fifth rank. Generally speaking, it is the end of the military post in the fifth rank. If there is no special situation, there will be no chance of promotion again because there is no position above.
Of course, if you have outstanding military achievements, you can get a medal or a dispersed official, such as generals of the guards, generals, and governors. The governors are the highest medal positions of warriors, from the second rank, but this is rare. How many warriors can get the medal positions of the governors today?
The Song Dynasty used civilized military service to build military service, and the rank setting of military service was the most obvious way to devalue the political status of military generals. Many military personnel made many military achievements and fought for decades, but in the end they were just small officials of the ninth rank. The reason why people like Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Wu were able to rise from the army was because of the times. Another important factor was that they had "Bo Le" behind them. In order to expand their strength, the Northwest Generals also needed to promote these subordinates from the army, so they were able to stand out. However, before the Jin army invaded, their official positions were generally low.
For example, Han Shizhong made many military achievements in the northwest and fought for more than ten years. He was in his thirties and did not even get a grade. Until he was conquering Fang La, he sneaked into Qingxi Cave in the last battle, captured Fang La, and made great contributions, so he was promoted to Chengjielang, a 51st-level minor official from the ninth-level. (The fifth-level Chengxinlang also started from the ninth-level, which was the beginning of the entry.)
You can imagine how unfair this military position and rank system are to warriors. How much enthusiasm is the military man under this system? How much loyalty is there? How much combat effectiveness is the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who survived this extremely unfair?
Li Hu wanted to modify this unfair system, greatly improve the status of military men, and destroy this national policy of using culture to control military men and belittle military men.
