Why Guo Hao didn’t move the Beggars’ Sect long ago is not due to Ang Lee and Li Fu’s face.

Although Ang Lee is not the leader of the gang, he still has a high prestige in the gang. Many people are actually loyal to the Li family.

Like Xuan Wei, those people were loyal to Qiunan. Morally, they did nothing wrong, but Guo Hao was considering the country.

Whether it is the Xuanwei or the Beggars' Sect, they are all forces of the Song Dynasty. They are powerful and they are in peace when Guo Hao is there, but what if Guo Hao is not there?

Guo Hao followed Zhao Kuangyin's example and released military power with a drink of wine, not to suppress soldiers, but to prevent the tragedy of the Five Dynasties from happening again.

It took him more than ten years and twice military reforms to put a lock on the army, and while preserving his strength, he eliminated hidden dangers.

But this is not over yet, strength is the bottom line.

Guo Hao moved the capital to Youzhou in order to expand the imperial guards. In his plan, he could expand the imperial guards to develop technology, and then he could set up a real military region.

At the same time, the reform of civil servants has not stopped, and the establishment of the procuratorate is a warning to officials.

This is a sharp sword hanging over the head, and officials can turn a blind eye, but if anyone dares to bribe and abuse the law, they may not be cut off at any time.

The law net is vast and unobstructed.

Military and political reforms were the foundation of the founding of the Song Dynasty. Guo Hao wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous era, so some forces naturally did not allow them to exist.

The development of the Beggars' Sect was somewhat beyond Guo Hao's expectations. He actually transformed privately and began to get involved in business without Guo Hao's permission. This is something that Guo Hao cannot tolerate.

Therefore, the ban of the Beggars' Sect is inevitable, and Zhang Dashun and the others have not noticed it yet.

They simply believed that Guo Hao would let the Beggars' Sect be for Guo Zhishun's sake, and they asked Guo Hao to be the leader of the gang with retreat, but Guo Hao would not agree.

But they were wrong. Guo Hao is very idle now and is worried about having nothing to do. He doesn't mind personally dealing with the Beggars' Sect and eliminating hidden dangers for his descendants.

"It is OK to let me be the leader of the gang, but I am the king of a country and I cannot be in charge of a private gang."

Zhang Dashun's heart moved and a glimmer of hope arose. He thought that Guo Hao really wanted to be the leader of the gang, and their life would probably be difficult for them to live in the future.

"Your Majesty is busy with all his life, so naturally he cannot worry about these trivial matters. It is better to..."

"So I plan to adapt the Beggars' Gang and set up a transportation department to be responsible for the logistics and transportation of the Song Dynasty. What does Brother Zhang think?"

Zhang Dashun was about to propose that Guo Zhishun work on his behalf, but Guo Hao directly said that he would adapt the Beggars' Sect.

Zhang Dashun's expression was frozen and he didn't react for a long time. Guo Hao was not in a hurry to ask him to reply. Maybe he didn't know what logistics is.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are stupid, some, some don't understand..."

Guo Hao stood up after hearing this, looked outside and said, "The advantage of the Beggars' Sect lies in transportation. You have the largest horse gang in the Song Dynasty and are familiar with the water and land transportation routes across the country.

Now that the commerce of the Song Dynasty is developing rapidly, goods from all over the country need to be transported, the imperial court has begun to build railways, and an institution needs to be responsible."

"railway?"

Zhang Dashun was even more confused. He was just the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect. How could he know the secrets of the court?

"The so-called railway is a track made of iron. You can run trains on it. You don't need people and animals to pull it. You can walk by yourself, and the speed is not slow."

"this……"

"It's not just railways, but some ships now have steam engines installed, and they can also drive without sailing."

Guo Hao looked at Zhang Dashun with a smile on his face. He liked to see their ignorant appearance so that they would not refute.

"If there is a railway, the rice from Jiangnan can reach Bianjing in one day, which is a real journey of thousands of miles a day.

The Ministry of Transportation is responsible for these matters next. With the manpower of the Beggars’ Gang, they can do this!"

Without waiting for Zhang Dashun to say anything, Guo Hao had already made plans for the Beggars' Sect. If Zhang Dashun does not agree, he would retire.

Zhang Dashun stood there, trying hard to absorb Guo Hao's words. It took him a long time to figure out that Guo Hao wanted to gather the power of the Beggars' Sect like Xuanwei.

"The subordinates are all arranged by Your Majesty."

Guo Hao said this, but he couldn't agree. No matter how powerful the Beggars' Sect is, he is not a match for the court.

"Of course, you can keep some people to help Shun'er, and the rest of them will be adapted. I will order the six departments of the cabinet to help you, and this matter must be implemented as soon as possible."

"Subordinates follow the order."

"Also, there is no need to open the shops of the Beggars' Sect. The profits of transportation are enough for you to survive."

"……yes."

Zhang Dashun finally understood why Guo Hao had to deal with the Beggars' Sect. Before, the Beggars' Sect was all about dispatching and transportation, and now he started doing business. Isn't this competing with the country?

Although it has not been a few years, the money they earn has been enough for them to spend for several lifetimes, and they disrupt market prices, so it would be nice for Guo Hao to not punish them.

Moreover, the Beggars' Sect today is no longer the Beggars' Sect. There is no real beggar, but instead he looks down on the beggars.

They kept calling the Beggars' Sect, but they forgot their origins. From elders to disciples, they all lived a very comfortable life, and they didn't look like beggars.

Zhang Dashun left the palace in a daze. He knew that there would be no Beggars' Sect from today onwards.

...

June in the second year of Longxing.

The imperial court added three departments in a row: the Military Affairs Office, the Supervision Office, and the Ministry of Transport.

It is obvious that everyone knows that these three departments were the three major forces of the Song Dynasty, and now they have set up yamen from open to secret.

Military aircraft disciplinary departments are divided into two departments, the General Staff Department and the Intelligence Department. The General Staff Department is under the responsibility of Li Jilong, while the Intelligence Department is still Li Hui.

The Supervisory Office is under the responsibility of Wang Chengyan. These departments directly connect with Guo Hao. With the imperial guards under Guo Jing, Guo Hao controls absolute rights.

As for the Ministry of Transport, Guo Hao handed over to the cabinet. Under normal circumstances, transportation is managed by the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Transport is special after all, so it is temporarily managed by the cabinet.

...

Just when the Song Dynasty was busy developing, news came from Liaodong that Wanyan Ji accepted Yelu Xian's favor and became the king of the South Courtyard.

This news is really shocking. You should know that there are still 100,000 Song troops in Liaodong. Wanyan Ji surrendered to the Liao Kingdom, which would have increased the strength of the Liao Kingdom.

After the news came, a war report completely chaotic the capital.

Wanyan Ji led three thousand troops to attack Shanhaiguan, which confirmed the fact that he betrayed. Guo Hao's years of planning were instantly lost.

Upon hearing this news, Guo Hao was furious and shouted: "Wanyan Xiaoer, how dare you deceive me? Tell Cao Bin, beat me hard!"

For a moment, the disappearing Song Navy suddenly appeared and bombarded the coast of Liaodong. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wanyan Ji hurriedly withdrew his troops back to defense.

When Yelu Xian saw this scene, his doubts disappeared and he finally breathed a sigh of anger. The Jurchen Kingdom had really surrendered.

Liao Kingdom, went to Beijing.

Yelu Xian invited Wanyan Ji to a banquet. The two of them called each other brothers and discussed how to deal with the State of Song.

Wanyan Ji said, "Your Majesty, Guo Hao thought I really followed him, but he didn't know that I was cheating him.

This time he lost his wife and his troops. I finally recovered the 100,000 troops. I plan to use the 100,000 troops to conquer the 16 states of Yanyun!"

"Oh? I really think so?"

"Of course!"

Seeing Wanyan Ji's promise so happily, Yelu Xian became alert again. He knew that the 100,000 Song soldiers were all Han people, so how could they be so easy to betray?

"Oh, Your Majesty doesn't know that Guo Hao's old man kidnapped my mother and humiliated him in every way. If he doesn't avenge this, Wanyan Ji will be a son!

This time Cao Bin bombarded the coast. I had no choice but to go to the sea, but once they got ashore, I will let them go without a return!"

Wanyan Ji inadvertently told why he betrayed Guo Hao. If Wanyan Ji was not Guo Hao's son and his mother was possessed, how could Wanyan Ji give up? Yelu Xian didn't have any doubts.

But the 100,000 army was really suspicious. Yelu Xian looked at Xiao Chuo beside him, and Xiao Chuo got up and poured a glass of wine for Wanyan Ji.

"The King of the South Courtyard is invincible and resourceful, and has successfully deceived Emperor Song. I really admire him.

But I don’t understand a little about how the king subdued the Song army. As far as I know, the Song army is still very loyal to Guo Hao.”

After Xiao Chuo finished speaking, Wanyan Ji drank the wine in one go, his eyes a little confused, as if he was drunk.

"This is not simple. The Song army has been in Liaodong for many years, and many people have already married and had children.

I promised them to marry the rest of those who have not married. They got married in Liaodong, so they naturally had nostalgia and were reluctant to return to the Song Dynasty!”

After Wanyan Ji said that, he laughed loudly, as if he was very proud, and Yelu Xian and his wife looked at each other and nodded.
