Chapter 1105: The War of Peace

As long as there is no chaos in the court, when this battle is over, the truth will always be revealed, and then public opinion will be self-defeating.

Now that these public opinions are resolved, they may add fuel to the fire, and even make the ministers in the court think that this matter was done by him.

It's a parting again.

On this day, I don’t know how many families in Changsha City are experiencing the sorrow of parting.

The Feilong Army escorted thousands of grain trucks out of Changsha.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu led the way, and the army did not stop after coming out of the barracks. There were countless people on both sides of the streets who crossed the road to see him off.

But Zhao Dongting still did not come out to see him off.

He doesn't like this parting scene. In addition, he has his own things to do.

When the Feilong Army left Changsha, Zhao Dongting was holding a pen in the imperial study room and writing quickly.

Before he returned to Changsha, he implemented military reforms. In addition to the imperial guards in the Song Dynasty, the troops in the middle and lower counties were only 500, and the troops in the middle and lower counties were 700, and the troops in the middle and lower counties were 1,500. The troops in the middle and lower counties were 1,500. The troops in the middle and lower counties were 2,000. The troops in the Ji County and the Ji County were 2,000. The troops in the Ji County were also 1,500. Only the governor's offices and the Jiedu Prefectures also had 2,000 units.

Compared with cities that often cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, this defender is naturally nothing.

But at that time, Zhao Dongting had no choice because he treated officials and soldiers very well. With the strength of the Song Dynasty at that time, he could not stand to train too many soldiers.

It was not until the Song Dynasty's national strength grew day by day that he implemented military reform again.

The troops in the lower, middle and lower counties were organized into a thousand people.

Up, close, there are 1,500 people in Wang County.

There are 2,000 people in Ciji County and Cichi County, and 3,000 people in Ji County and Chi County.

The county and city also increased to 3,000 people.

The biggest change is that the various Jiedu prefectures have only been increased to 3,000. However, they have specially set up garrison military regions, each with 10,000 personnel, such as the Changde Guard Military Region, which was originally published in Wen.

This time, Zhao Dongting did not intend to increase the garrisons of each county or prefecture. After all, the population was only so large in this era. He did not want the entire Song Dynasty to be soldiers.

No matter how good a country where the whole nation is a soldier, people's livelihood will not be much better.

However, he planned to increase the organization of various garrison military regions.

Jingjiang Prefecture, Guangnan West Road, Xianglong Prefecture, Kuizhou Prefecture, Kuizhou Prefecture, Fujian Road, Fu'an Prefecture, Jinghu North Road, Jiangling Prefecture, Jiangnan West Road, Longxing Prefecture, and the garrison in Changde, but in fact the organization belongs to the Changde Garage Military Region of Tanzhou Prefecture, Jinghu South Road. He has to expand the organization to 20,000 people in the seven garage military regions.

This will certainly put the Song Dynasty court in a heavier burden, but it will have to do it.

In Shuzhong, Dali, and Yue Li Dynasty attacked Song at the same time. Even if Zhenxi Military Region and Zhennan Military Region could win, there would be a lot of losses. At that time, it would be necessary to supplement the various garrison military regions.

Moreover, what Zhao Dongting had to do was not just to repel Shu, no, it should be said that Xinsong was not just to repel the army of Xinsong and Dali.

Duan Qilin was always eyeing the Song Dynasty and used tricks, which made his patience close to the limit.

If you want to fight, just fight.

Zhao Dongting now figured it out.

At most, after fighting, the power of the Song Dynasty retreated for several years or even more than ten years. With his strategy of governing the country, the Song Dynasty could completely make the prosperity repetitively in a shorter time.

He has such confidence.

If he wanted to develop and prosper the country, he asked himself that no one was more proficient in this era than him. After all, he had modern knowledge in his mind.

"He Cong..."

After Zhao Dongting stopped writing, he habitually called out Zhu Hecong's name.

But no one answered.

He looked up and then he remembered that Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang had already gone to Yongzhou. He sighed softly and said to Eunuch Li next to him: "Issue this decree."

Eunuch Li bowed and took the imperial edict and walked out of the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting scratched his head and whispered to himself, "The seven major military regions have added 70,000 people, and I don't know if it's enough..."

But this is already the limit that the Song Dynasty can bear now. If the expansion of its troops will have a significant impact on people's livelihood.

More than ten days passed, until the end of March.

The spring breeze is warm.

Before the New Song army and Dali army reached the border of the Song Dynasty, the 50,000 army that played the role of the Li Dynasty in Yue had already reached the territory of Guangnan West Road.

They did not go beyond Zhao Dongting's expectations, and did not enter the Gongtemo Road northwest, but marched directly into Yongzhou.

At this time, Liu Hongyi, who received a message from Zhao Dongting's flying pigeon in Jingjiang Prefecture, led a large army but had not yet arrived in Yongzhou. He had arrived in Yizhou.

Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang and others have already arrived in Yongzhou City.

But at this time, there were only two thousand defenders in Yongzhou City.

Regarding the borders of the Song Dynasty, Hengshanzhai, Yongzhou and even Temodao, the few places along Qi that border the Yue Li Dynasty and Dali are undoubtedly the weakest defense.

All of this is because there are too many ethnic minorities entrenched here. These ethnic groups have never really defected to the Song Dynasty court.

This can be seen from the last time Zhao Bing rebelled, he was able to win over so many leaders.

Although Zhang Jue's military campaign was invincible that time, many tribes did not dare to look up. However, after he withdrew his troops, these tribes still did their own things.

They have lived a long life with the emperor. Many of Zhao Dongting's policies were not implemented here at all, and they cannot obtain much support from the people.

The current territory of Yongzhou can be said to be full of devastation.

It was already good that the Yongzhou magistrate of the new Song Dynasty, which was able to make the number of defenders reach 2,000 in just over half a year after the Yongzhou Rebellion, and it was not annexed by the tribe leaders in every way. Of course, this was also thanks to the support of Yizhou, Pennsylvania and other prefectures next to Yongzhou. Otherwise, with the current situation in Yongzhou, it would be difficult to support even two thousand guards.

This place is poor, which is completely different from Changsha.

The city is cold and there are no people to see. Looking around, there are not many houses that can attract attention.

At this time, Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong and others were all in the lobby of the Yongzhou Prefecture Office.

Mao Xingyan, the governor of Yongzhou, accompanied several major officials of Yongzhou. Although Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong were not old, the position of deputy commander made Mao Xingyan and the others dare not neglect.

After asking about the current situation in Yongzhou, Zhu Haiwang and others looked very good.

Last time, King Guang Zhao Bing of King Guang committed rebellion in Yongzhou, which really hindered the development of Yongzhou. It made Yongzhou now look like a scattered sand.

The entire Yongzhou, with such a large territory, except for Yongzhou City, Taiping Village, Yongping Village, and Guwan Village, were not under the control of the Song Dynasty court.

In other words, although Mao Xingyan was the magistrate, the territory he governed and the army he controlled were actually similar to those of the county magistrate.
