When Zhao Kai heard Zhao Huan's muttering, he laughed in his heart. The hard work these days was wiped out. Before Zhao Kai, although the emperor of the Song Dynasty emphasized taxes, he knew that the country had no money, but no one had ever thought about land and money-oriented ministers and was good at managing finances. However, Zhao Huan always attached importance to it. Not only did he rely on himself as his confidant, but he also planned for a year of battles and major plans and plans to conquer cities and lands, he also planned according to the bottom line that the three departments could afford.

In fact, with the current strength and elite level of the Song army, if they fish out of the lake and collect heavily, they can fully bear 500,000 ordinary imperial guards in addition to 500,000 elite troops. In this way, with a million troops working hard to counterattack, the front line could be pushed north of the Yellow River in the six years of Jingkang. On the one hand, the emperor was tied up by the Jin people using the Supreme Emperor as a bargaining chip, but on the other hand, because the financial burden could not be taken down, he deliberately slowed down the process of military expansion and preparation for war.

After the six years of Jingkang passed, the Song army had no other actions except to expand and replenish the upper three armies in Chang'an, but just secretly transported a large number of elite equipment to the front. All of this was only under the premise that financial resources could be afforded.

Now the king and his ministers reviewed the expenditures for the year in detail, and Zhao Huan even ordered Zhao Kai to carefully select and send several officials who were well-versed in financial responsibilities and children from aristocratic families to send them to Chang'an Imperial College to study finance so that after several years, there will be more available talents.

After Zhao Kai withdrew, Zhao Huan looked at the sky. It was almost noon. The Song people were ruled by the rule that two meals a day were breakfast in the morning, and at about 1:00 pm, it would be called supper. If it was resting late at night and eating some snacks and wine, it would be called night time. At this time, looking at the hourglass at the corner of the hall, it was already at 1:00 pm. Although Zhao Huan was used to the eating time of the Song people, he felt that he was hungry and hungry.

While ordering the meal, he rushed to summon Yu Yunwen and others to come. When silver plates were presented, Yu Yunwen and others also obeyed the orders.

While having a meal, Zhao Huan asked Yu Yunwen and others to enter the inner hall to wait. Everyone was a member of the Privy Council. They were used to doing these things. After listening to Zhao Huan's orders, they entered one after another and arranged sand tables and wooden pictures of sand tables and waited for the emperor to come in to discuss after finishing the meal.

The Privy Council also established this department in the Privy Council to rule and abolish the Central Office last year when the entire imperial court abolished the official office, but the entire imperial court had added this department to command staff officers at all levels who were used to command the entire imperial guards.

In Zhao Huan's understanding, the Privy Council was equivalent to the Ministry of National Defense in later generations, responsible for the deployment and operation of the entire country's military machinery. The Ministry of War originally said that it was the commander of the military order and the military equipment, but its responsibilities and powers had long been weakened. Even institutions such as military weapons supervision were directly managed by the Privy Council. In this way, the Ministry of War was only left with an empty shell. When the Central Office was abolished last year, many of the Ministry of War's nominal institutions were cut, leaving only the titles of the Secretary and the Minister of the State Council, which were only used for promotion. However, the abolition of the Ministry of War was inevitable. The responsibilities and powers of the Privy Council had to bear were too important, and the original structure was obviously reorganized and strengthened.

While establishing traditional institutions of military equipment, ranks and other departments, Zhao Huan ordered the establishment of the Military Office in the PubMinistry to be responsible for the preparation and planning of major battles, and to take charge of the leadership and personnel power of all staff officers. He also ordered Yu Yunwen to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council to become one of the deputy envoys of the Privy Council, responsible for leading the newly established organization. Yu Yunwen lived up to his entrusted responsibility. In the second half of the sixth year of Jingkang, when the entire Military Office had not yet completed all members, he had already formulated a battle plan for the entire Song and Jin war situation based on the development of the Song army and the expected power at that time, and based on the situation of the Song and Jin war situations, he had formulated a battle plan for the seventh year of Jingkang for the whole year.

With the release of the financial budget for the new year, the planning of the entire battle has reached its final stage. On the huge sand table in the side hall of Qinglu Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, there are small red and blue flags symbolizing the Song army and Jin soldiers, which are standardized as the location of each Song army imperial guards, the nearest logistics supply points, war horses, weapons and bows and arrows reserves, roads and bridges, as well as the geographical location of each ten thousand households of the Jin soldiers, the number of war horses of the opponent, the elite level, the time required for nearby support, and every item and every one is clearly marked.

It can be said that such a complete battlefield analysis, such detailed intelligence, analysis and reorganization of corresponding intelligence, and even judging strength, and making corresponding deployments, have exceeded the limits that any country or military organization can achieve in the era of the conflict between Song and Jin.

The greatest contribution of such achievements is naturally Zhao Huan, the first advocate of the initiative. In fact, the Song army's staff system was gradually approaching its formation during the Xuanhe period. With Zhao Huan's intentional support and providing many simple mathematical and drawing methods for later generations, these already professional staff officers, with their hard work and wisdom, and Yu Yunwen's genius, will finally mobilize the entire battle plan of the imperial guards of more than 500,000 people, the wing army with more than 300,000 people, and the civilian support troops of nearly 3 million people, were all completed.

It can be said that this war plan is close to everything that the German General Staff in Zhao Huan can do under the corresponding technology and environment.

Yu Yunwen's subordinates were hundreds of people, most of whom were young men who had experienced many battles from hundreds of thousands of imperial guards, who were smart and did not stick to the rules. Yu Yunwen himself was only in his twenties, and his average age was about thirty. After Zhao Huan gave a large planning framework, such a young staff officer group could fully utilize his imagination and his own strengths, and did not dare to modify the plan just because the emperor proposed it. And on top of Zhao Huan's original plan, many imaginative revisions and corrections were made.

The entire plan was first proposed by Zhao Huan, who was familiar with the entire battle situation and historical trend of the Song and Jin Dynasties.

When he fled back to Chang'an in the third year of Jingkang, the Song army was still in a dilemma where he was beaten everywhere, and even on many battlefields could not resist the attack of the Jin soldiers.

Han Shizhong was defeated by both commanders, Liu Guangshi lost the Tianchang Army, Yangzhou was trapped, Jin soldiers crossed the river, and Zhao Gou was extremely embarrassed, like a dog who was stranded from his family.

On Zhao Huan's side, the Fuping War was imminent, with an army of 500,000, including 180,000 elite troops in the Western Army. It can be said that this was the most powerful combat force of the entire Song Dynasty imperial guards before the later famous generals such as Yue Fei grew up. In official history, in the defeat of Fuping, the Song army lost the entire Shaanxi and Gansu and retreated to Sichuan. When Guan and Shaanxi were lost, the Jin soldiers completely protected the hinterland of the Central Plains, creating difficult difficulties for the later Northern Expedition of the Song army.

After the Fuping War, he recovered Hedong, fought in the Mianguan, and defended Chang'an. After several battles, the Song army retained the original main force of the Western Army in the Fuping War, and Zhao Huan's command. With the growth of generals such as Han Shizhong, Yang Yizhong, and Yue Fei, three main battlefields were formed in the southeast, Jingxiang, and Guanshan, which made the Jin soldiers stretched everywhere. Not only could they no longer take the initiative to attack, but they even showed great difficulty in defending.

In the battle to recover Taiyuan, the Jin soldiers fully demonstrated the shortcomings of the capable troops. The long battlefield made the main force of the Jin soldiers, which was originally mainly elite soldiers, even more tight. The combat effectiveness of the puppet Qi and Han army, the command ability of the commander, the ability to control the people, and the administrative ability of the government, did not reflect the role of the puppet regime at all.

In this way, by the sixth year of Jingkang, the Song army had turned passive into active and attacked everywhere. Although there was only a large-scale battle in the first half of the year, it was basically mainly small-scale battles in the second half of the year. On the front thousands of miles long, the Song army attacked everywhere, fighting the pseudo-Qi and a small number of Jin soldiers. The main force of the Jin army was in chaos and caught fire everywhere. By the seventh year of Jingkang, the chaos in the Jin Dynasty had not yet subsided, and the peace faction had the upper hand, and they were determined to be on Zhao Huan to negotiate with them. According to the old Song and Liao rules, the Jurchen nobles could enjoy the old land of the old Liao Dynasty and the Central Plains and Hebei of the Song Dynasty, and enjoy the annual tribute given by the Song people, which was much easier than fighting hard with the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan knew very well that the Jin Kingdom was at the end of its strength. According to official history, after the Jin army destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the degree of corruption and degeneration was equivalent to that of the later Eight Banners soldiers after entering the pass, and even more excessive. Through several major wars, he had discovered that the development and progress of the heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty and the emergence of a large number of outstanding generals made the Song army have the strength to fight against the Jin army in plains. The Song army in history did not have this ability until the tenth year of Shaoxing, and the Song army under Zhao Huan had already had this ability several years earlier, and it was even more victorious.

The entire combat plan was formulated according to the changes in the military strength of the Song and Jin dynasties.

In addition, there are planning and considerations for the two countries' logistical capabilities, overall economic capabilities, population replenishment capabilities, etc. This level is already the scope of the overall war in later generations. If it were not for Zhao Huan's proposal, Ren Yu Yunwen and others would have never thought of it.

When Zhao Huan finished his meal in a hurry and entered the side hall, several guards immediately guarded the front and no one was allowed to approach. Naturally, they would not know that in this hall, the entire wall was hanging on the entire wall of the hall.

The entire plan is related to the strategic trends of the Song and Jin countries in several years. If everything goes well, not only can the Central Plains be restored, but even the entire Hebei area may be recovered. The injured Jin soldiers may not be able to maintain Yanyun's natural danger. If the Great Wall defense line can be recaptured in one go, the Jin Kingdom will no longer be able to move south. The powerful Song Dynasty heavy infantry and the strongest long-range troops in the world will make the Jurchen cavalry facing the pass and the horses cannot be started, and no horses can go south. The Song Dynasty, which obtained a large amount of population land and strategic space, will use its strong national strength to further build war machines, and then regain Liaodong, restore the old land of Han people to raise horses, and destroy the Western Xia.
