Seeing that Zhao Si was determined, Zhang Dun and others looked at each other.
The officials all know what kind of temper an official has.
I am sure I can't persuade you anymore, so I go to the palace and ask Empress Dowager Zhu and the Empress to persuade me? Then there will be a lot of trouble, and the military affairs will be brought to the attention of the government and the public, and the officials will be unhappy even more.
Zhao Si glanced around the crowd and said resolutely: "This matter has been decided! No need to persuade you. What you plan is done by people, and it is done by God. It is because God has blessed me that the Song Dynasty has been prosperous and powerful all over the world. If
No way - it will not harm the foundation of our Song Dynasty’s national strength, let’s find another way!”
Zhao Si's face became very serious, and he said to the ministers word by word: "Next comes the various deployments. All the ministers are important ministers in the court. They need your execution and assistance. These military and national secrets should be kept in your hearts.
It’s enough to have a few, but don’t leak it out. You all have studied the Regulations on the Confidentiality of Military and State Confidential Texts.”
"I will abide by the law and dare not slack off." Zhang Dun and others quickly replied.
Well, the military-state secret label has been put on. Shengci Palace and the empress cannot go to the palace to express their feelings, and the road to persuade officials is blocked.
"Due to physical discomfort, Mr. Guo (Guo Yong) has asked me to resign many times. He wants to retire from Sungkyun University and transfer to Dali Temple, so let him do it. Mr. Yuandu, Dali Temple is still short of a young minister. You
This Sikou will make arrangements."
"Here!"
"When Mr. Guo resigned, the Kaifeng Prefecture asked Zeng Mao Mingquan to be the prefect. A temporary post was set up both inside and outside the capital to command the regiments of the bodyguards and imperial guards, and Pan Qilang took over."
In one sentence, Zhao Si entrusted the military and political power of Kaifeng City to his two most trusted confidants. One was his brother-in-law and the other was his brother-in-law.
"After I went to war, the state affairs were supervised by Queen Zeng. The three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu were responsible for legislation, justice and state affairs. They each performed their duties and fulfilled their responsibilities. "Guoshihuidian State Affairs Law" has detailed information
According to the administrative procedures, I will explain to the queen how to handle state affairs."
According to the provisions of the "State Affairs Code of the State Council", the three provinces handle state affairs, and the emperor generally exercises the power of approval and veto.
For example, matters such as the promulgation of laws by Zhongshu Province, the appointment of civil servants from the fourth rank of Shangshu Province and the Privy Council, military generals and deputy generals and above, the impeachment of officials from the fourth rank and above by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the death penalty issued by Dali Temple must be approved by the emperor.
The power of veto, such as the decree issued by the Minister of Finance to various counties and localities, will be copied to the Ministry of Secretaries for imperial review. If the emperor does not deny it within ten days, it is equivalent to acquiescence that the decree can be followed without error.
"In addition, the appointment and removal of officials from the third rank and above will be postponed for discussion after I go on the expedition. If there are special reasons during the period, the deputy will temporarily take care of his duties."
Everyone understands that this special reason should belong to officials of the third rank or above who died of illness or were unable to take charge during the period, as well as Ding You's vacancy.
After explaining the arrangements for state affairs in detail, Zhao Si said meaningfully: "Although I am the emperor, I cannot interfere with all state affairs in every detail. I only care about the overall strategy, supervise the administrative process, correct deviations, and do the rest.
Please leave it to your lords."
Zhang Dun and others immediately responded: "I will do my best to repay your kindness."
Zhao Si stood up, walked to the huge map, and raised his voice: "Now let's talk about military arrangements. In the Privy Council, Duke Xu is in charge of Kaifeng City, coordinating and commanding military aircraft in the northwest, Hedong, Hebei and other areas. Stay still."
"Here!" Xu Jiang responded.
"Military Counselor's Office!"
Sun Lu immediately responded: "I'm here!"
"You will lead the War Office of the Military Counselor and its supporting units to move forward to Xi'an City, Jingzhao Prefecture."
"Here!"
"The Military Department and the Munitions Department!"
"I'm here!" Liu Kai and Zhong Fu responded in unison.
"You also led the corresponding agencies to move to Xi'an City, Jingzhao Prefecture, and fully cooperate with the Military Counselor's Office to support frontline operations!"
"Here!"
"Appoint Yao Lin as the military commander of the Pingxia front, Zhong Pu, Liu Zhongwu, and Zhe Keshi as the deputy commanders, commanding the Pingxia, Dingxi, and Dingbian armies, and commanding the battle to destroy Xia! Combat plans, troop allocation, material deployment, and military consultation
The government, the Military Department and the Munitions Department will make overall arrangements as quickly as possible!"
"Here!"
The battle to extinguish Xia has been rehearsed on the sand table in the Privy Council countless times, and it has been practiced secretly. Everyone has long memorized it, so this time it will be better to make some modifications based on the actual situation.
"Xuanhuiyuan!"
The eldest grandson Moli, who is also the propaganda envoy of Xuanhui Academy, responded quickly: "I'm here!"
"Immediately issue a recruitment order. The entire Zhuque Banner is mobilized. The first batch of 30,000 principal households, 30,000 deputy households, and accompanying mounts must be assembled in Juyan City before May 10th. The second batch of 30,000 principal households, 30,000 deputy households, and accompanying mounts must be assembled in Juyan City before May 10th.
Ten thousand households must assemble in Juyanhai before August 10th."
Love reading books
"Here!"
The entire Zhuque Banner is distributed in Hehuang, Xihai, Qingtang and other places, covering thousands of miles. It will indeed take half a year to assemble them all.
"Communition Office!"
Zhong Fu responded again, "I'm here!"
"You, together with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and Qinchuan County, must mobilize the first batch of 6,000 high-wheel carriages, 20,000 pack oxen, and 200,000 sheep to Juyanhai before the fifth day of May."
Can’t guarantee it?”
"Your Majesty," Zhong Fu replied cautiously, "Liangzhou City was originally the largest smelting and manufacturing site in Xixia. Although it was burned to the ground in the third year of Yuanfu, most of the craftsmen, iron furnaces, workshops, etc. are still there and have been completely
Recovery. In recent years, Lanzhou has also followed the plan and become a manufacturing center in the northwest."
"Most of the spare parts for high-wheel vans are manufactured in Xianyang, and some are made in Lanzhou, and then all are assembled in Liangzhou for assembly. Six thousand vans and 20,000 cattle are indeed a lot, so we can only buy them from Dingxi and Pingxi.
We will allocate some from each wing of Xia Junli, Hehuang, and Xihai's Zhuque Banner, plus storehouses and pasture reserves, so we can guarantee it."
"Okay, can the Liangzhou arsenal guarantee 60,000 soldiers, bows and arrows and other military supplies?"
"If a part is missing, it can be urgently transferred from the arsenals in Lanzhou and Weizhou. A large amount of ordnance is stored there. The missing part can be transferred from the arsenals in Xi'an, Luoyang and Kaifeng to make up for it. It will not delay the war between the three armies in Pingxia."
Zhao Si nodded with satisfaction. The preparations for the extermination of Xia that began in the third year of Yuanfu and the new policies that began in the first year of Tianqi can be seen today.
Sufficient reserves and fast transportation.
A series of military arrangements were explained in succession. Zhang Dun and others could see that the officials had been planning this grand strategic plan for a long time and had deduced it countless times in their minds and privately with their staff.
Now that the time has come, we can see military orders and deployments being arranged in a streamlined manner.
"Xuanming and Bangcheng led some candidates to form a staff to follow me. The list of candidates is Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Li Guang, Zhang Yi..."
Zhao Si recalled the conversations Tan Shiji had with the young talents in Danli and Changqing Tower, and he added another name, "Yu Wenxuzhong. You two can decide on the rest of the candidates."
Changsun Moli and Tan Shiji responded quickly.
Zhang Dun and others looked at each other.
They remembered that the officials once said that they hoped that the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty would be handsome and prime ministers in the future. With these young talents selected by the officials, they must be cultivating them and selecting the future great ministers.
Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. This chapter has been completed!
