Chapter 306 Step on the accelerator(2/2)
The Northern Territory and the Western Territory are left aside.
Only Dali, Jiaozhi, Tubo and Song dynasties have land borders.
Dali Kingdom has been invisible for a long time and is not like a person who can cause trouble.
The rest of Jiaozhi was also defeated by the late emperor.
Could it be Tubo?
Both palaces were worried when they thought about it.
After reading history books, they naturally knew how powerful Tubo was during the Tang Dynasty!
The decline of Tubo in the late Tang Dynasty gradually lost danger, but no one knew what was happening on the snow-capped mountains.
In case, the Tubo people on the snow-capped mountains complete the unification again and then go straight down along the Qingtang.
The border defense of the Song Dynasty really needs another strong enemy!
So, both palaces agreed to Zhao Xu's proposal.
First prepare for war in Bianjing, prepare an army in advance that can put out fires in an emergency!
This is called being prepared for any trouble.
It is also something that the two palaces will do - the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager who lives in the deep palace, didn't know much about economics and finances.
In their eyes, spending some money is nothing!
Even if it is finally proved that it doesn't matter if the money is wasted.
As long as you feel at ease, just want to feel at ease!
But where can such an army that can respond to changes in all directions at any time?
This made both palaces a little confused.
It should be noted that the imperial guards in Bianjing have been almost allocated.
The Palace Front Office, the personal guards, the cavalry and infantry, and the military camps that once surrounded the inside and outside of Bianjing are now empty.
After the Song and Xia War, these imperial guards were transferred to the northwest border and never returned.
The current Bianjing Imperial Army is actually very empty.
The three yamen combined, including the soldiers and horses in Kaifeng Prefecture, only about 30,000.
This is also the reason why Wang Anshi adopted the Baojia method in the capital - the capital was empty, and if there was a change, the Northern Barbarians or somebody rushed in and the army of kings could not arrive for a while, then it would be over.
However, as Han Jiang came to power, he gradually abolished the Baojia law in Hebei and Hedong, in a few years, there were not many Baojia militias available in Bianjing City.
Zhao Xu looked at the appearance of the two palaces and whispered: "The queen mother, it is better to use the imperial edict to draw 10,000 imperial guards from Hebei to return to Beijing..."
"At the same time, from the imperial guards in Bianjing, ten commanders who had been garrisoned along the border were selected, and they were handed over to the generals to reorganize the army and cultivate the military in order to prepare for emergencies..."
"With this five thousand troops that have been through the formation, even if there is a policeman suddenly, he will not be caught off guard by the bandits!"
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager asked: "Hebei draws 10,000 imperial guards. If something happens in Hebei..."
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "No!"
"The current lord of the Northern Lu has asked for our dynasty, not to mention that the Northern Lu Emperor's Crown and Sun Chen are also "confidant classmates". They have given each other articles and notes many times!"
"It can be seen from this that the Lord of the Northern Barbarians and his crown princess should be polite people and will not rashly engage in evil with our dynasty... Since the Northern Barbarians have no faith, the imperial guards in Beijing can also immediately rush to help..."
The two palaces were finally convinced. After the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang looked at each other, they said to Zhao Xu: "It's still the government's thoughtful thinking!"
Queen Mother Xiang then said, "The Sixth Brother is indeed the King of Congjun!"
