Chapter 355: Foresight

If Guo Hao really forgot Lingnan, he actually didn't.

Over the past six months, Guo Hao has been considering the next strategy, allowing Lingnan to recruit 30,000 troops one after another. At this time, Lingnan was stationed in 100,000 troops!

And these 100,000 troops, led by the four-dimensional generals, avoided the possibility of self-respecting. His intention was not to fight a war, but to make the soldiers adapt!

Guo Hao had spoken before, that the northwest and southwest were the objects of his strategy. The northwest was complex in form, and the southwest was also not simple.

At this time, the regime in the southwest was Dali, covering later generations of Yunnan, southwestern Guizhou, southwestern Sichuan, as well as Myanmar, Laos, and northern Vietnam.

These areas are tropical, with different climates and a large number of primeval forests. The terrain is completely different from that in the north. It is easy to suffer losses when fighting.

Therefore, Guo Hao stationed 100,000 troops in Lingnan, on the surface to garrison the frontier. Others understood it as a guide to the Southern Han Dynasty, but the deepest goal was Dali.

But the time is not yet ripe. Half a year has passed, and the soldiers have just adapted to the local environment and need time to train before combat. Without advanced weapons, the Song army may not be the opponents of those natives.

Therefore, Guo Hao's ideas gradually became clear. After Qingyuan surrendered, Nan Han was also his possession, and his strategic choice was not the only one. He had already sent Li Qingnan to study shipbuilding and he wanted to form the strongest navy in the world!

However, this navy is just an idea at the moment. There is no ideal warship yet. Guo Hao thinks that his warship must be large and strong, with cannons on it and the ability to have ocean-going oceans.

Once the navy is formed, whether it is Dali or Liao, he can fight amphibiously in the future. If the Ministry of Works is powerful, the hot air balloon can also be used as a surprise weapon in the air.

But although the idea is good, there are still many things that cannot be realized now. The north needs war horses, so we must first persuade the Tuoba (Li) family to borrow their northwest region to raise horses.

The northwest needs to adapt to the environment and develop tactics that suit the local area. When the Song army attacked Hou Shu, they actually suffered losses in this regard, so this time they could not repeat the responsibility.

As for the Liao Kingdom, although the current emperor is not very good, the Liao Kingdom is still strong. The military power of the Song Dynasty is mainly distributed in four areas.

First, the northern border guards had about 100,000 troops, mainly responsible for garrisoning the sixteen states of Yanyun, led by four generals, without a leader.

The second is the Central Imperial Army, currently only 30,000, but they are all real elites, with weapons and equipment far better than those on the border. Guo Hao is the head coach and Zhao Kuangyin is the deputy. Two people are one and half of them are the tiger talismans, so Zhao Kuangyin has limited rights.

The third western defense line is also a 100,000 army, responsible for the border from Shu to Lingnan, with four generals in charge, without a leader.

The fourth is the 100,000 garrisons in Lingnan. Needless to say, as for the former local army, Guo Hao divided them into reserves, with a total of 100,000 people in the country, and they are managed by the public security system on weekdays. There are dozens of people in each county and only a few hundred people in each state.

Such a complete separation of military and political affairs in the Song Dynasty, as long as the border defense is guarded, there is no need to worry about security issues in the country. If someone rebels, four armies will be dropped nearby to suppress them.

With these four armies, the Song Dynasty had already rested at peace. Moreover, these garrisons were not idle at the border and had to farm when there was no war, try to be self-sufficient and reduce the burden on the court.

They are a bit similar to military households, but they are not fixed. They change defenses every four years and the generals will be mobilized.

With the new crops brought back by Li Qingnan and the rice in Chameng, there is no need to worry about the food in the Song Dynasty. The granary is becoming more and more fulfilling day by day, and the people and officials have a clear mind.

...

Perhaps because of feeling the power of the Song Dynasty, in July, the leader of the Southwest Yi, Dong Hao, was attached to him and Guo Hao rewarded him heavily.

In his opinion, this is a signal: the superior army attacks the plan, the second is the enemy, the second is the enemy, the next is the enemy, the next is the enemy, the next is the enemy.

Those who are good at using troops will be able to defeat others' troops instead of fighting, to pull away others' cities instead of attacking, and to destroy others' countries without long-term efforts. They will definitely fight for the whole world with complete wars, so the army will not be able to be profitable. This is the method of attacking.

Guo Hao's troops stationed on the border are on the surface, but on the surface they are also defending themselves, but in fact they are also illuminating their wrists, allowing people all over the world to see how powerful the Song Dynasty is today.

Starting from Dong Hao, if everyone chooses to surrender, then Guo Hao will not have to work hard to conquer. It is not a good thing to expand the territory without bloodshed!

Guo Hao was very happy and decided to take his family out for a trip. It was summer. Guo Hao brought his children to the suburbs and called Li Yu and his wife out.

By the river, Guo Hao leaned on the lounge chair and fished. Li Yu was a little uncomfortable sitting by the side. The distant maids talked happily, and there was a quiet and peaceful picture.

"Congjia, are there any new works recently? Read it and listen to me?"

Guo Hao didn't want the relationship between them to continue like this, so he took the initiative to find topics. Li Yu liked poetry the most, so he wanted to ask.

"When you go back to your Majesty, the criminal has been reflecting at home, and he has no intention of chanting poems and essays, so there is no new work."

"Are you still blaming me? You haven't thought it through yet? You should learn to learn the King of Wu and Yue and recognize your abilities.

Do you really think you are a good emperor? Only by thunderbolt means can you show your heart. Do you think you are very kind, but what about your ministers?

Like your father, you can't control those ministers at all. If they hadn't interfered with it, I might have stayed in Jiangnan, and even assisted your Li family.

But some people can't tolerate me and want to kill me. I had to leave Jiangnan and get to this day step by step. It was not my original intention.

When you wanted to worship me as your teacher, I said, things in this world are definitely not as simple as you imagined. Do you still remember the poem I gave you? The boy doesn’t know the taste of sorrow..."

"Young people do not know the taste of sorrow, they fall in love with the upper floor. They are forced to say sorrow to write new poems.

Now I have realized the taste of sorrow, and I want to say it but I want to say it but I want to say it but I say it's cool and autumn..."

"But it's so cool, it's so autumn..."

A breeze blew, as if it was really a cool breeze. Li Yu suddenly lost all the heat and his body and mind were cold.

Yes, Guo Hao talked a lot to him back then, but he was still young and didn't know anything.

Now he understands it, but it's too late. It's impossible for him to be the carefree prince again.

Now he has become the king of the country that has been destroyed. Although Guo Hao treats him well and does not humiliate him too much, the more Guo Hao does, the more he is, the more he is, the more confused Li Yu is in his heart.

After a long time, Li Yu chanted: "The waves are meaningful and snowing thousands of miles away, and the peach blossoms are silent. A pot of wine and a pole of body, how many people are there to be happy?"

A small poem expresses Li Yu's heart. Guo Hao lifted up the fishing rod and there was a fish hanging on it. Guo Hao picked it off, but did not put it in the fish basket, but released it.

"If life was just like the first meeting, what if the autumn wind was sad and painted a fan?

The old friends' hearts change easily, but the old friends' hearts change easily.

After the songs in the Nanshan Mountains, the tears and rain of the bells will never complain.

How can I be as happy as a man in a brocade and wish to join the branches on the same day?”

After reading a poem, Guo Hao turned around and saw a figure standing behind him. It turned out to be Zhou Wei. She had seen Guo Hao's gentle side for the first time.

Guo Hao brought her back from Jiangning and placed her in the suburbs. He did not disturb her life or force her to do anything.

As she got to know Guo Hao, she began to be curious about the emperor. She originally thought that Guo Hao was a devil who killed people without blinking and a domineering emperor, but she didn't expect that he would have such a gentle side.

"Minister Zhou Wei, I have met Your Majesty."

When Guo Hao saw Zhou Wei, he didn't know what to say for a moment. In fact, he liked her, but the concepts of later generations were still affecting him. The gap in age between the two made him unable to speak.

Besides, his current focus is on state affairs, so his children's personal relationships have become much weaker, that is, Qiunan and others understand the righteousness, and if other women are, they may be unhappy.

"Miss Zhou, you are here too. You have been adapting in the past six months. If you have any needs in life, please find your sister."

"Thank you for your concern. The young lady is fine. But she is a little bored on weekdays. I don't dare to go alone."

"Oh, if that's the case, you can come to the palace. Qiunan and the others are usually bored. The three of them can't even play mahjong together. It's just right that you are here..."
