Zhu Lian and Chongde were wrapped in thick fur cloaks and led a group of palace maids to wait in front of the mansion. However, they waited for a long time but did not see Wang Lin.
Then the Tiger God Guard hurriedly came to report: "I would like to inform you, the two empresses, that the prince has gone to the Marshal's Mansion to discuss matters and has sent a message back so that the empresses do not have to wait."
Zhu Lian and Chongde looked at each other, both a little disappointed.
Chongde suddenly asked: "How many family members do Xiao Duoli Lai and Yelu Yuliyan have?"
The tiger guard who came to report the news bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have followed the prince to the Marshal's Mansion to discuss matters."
Zhu Lian was stunned.
Xiao Duoli relied on them to participate in the prince's discussion?
this……
Chongde was silent for a moment, then pulled Zhu Lian's arm: "Sister Lian'er, this..."
Zhu Lian sighed quietly: "Let's go, Chongde, let's go back first and ask questions when the prince comes back."
Not to mention Zhu Lian and Chongde's doubts.
Generalissimo's Mansion.
White Tiger Festival Hall.
Before Wang Lin entered the Zhending Mansion, he ordered to summon Yue Fei, Ma Kuo, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, Han Ting and others to discuss matters. Xiao Duolilai also attended this highly confidential meeting because he was familiar with the situation in the original Liao territory.
Military aircraft conference.
In addition, attending the meeting was Shi Huang Qishan, the chief minister of Prince Yan who had just taken office.
A few days after Huang Qishan took over as the magistrate of Xiangzhou, he was transferred to Zhending by Wang Lin to serve as military counselor of the Generalissimo's Mansion.
Wang Lin stood under the map, looking slightly excited.
He explained the plan proposed by Song Lan in detail.
Yue Fei and Ma Kuo had this idea for a long time, but they were not as systematic and complete as Song Lan mentioned. So as soon as Wang Lin finished speaking, the two of them immediately agreed and made many improvements and additions at the same time.
What Yue Fei added were details on military deployment and long-term defense.
Most of what Ma Kuo talked about was the long-term internal policy of governing the seven states of Yanyun.
Yue Fei said eagerly: "Your Majesty, I think this plan is quite feasible. At present, the Jin people are short of food, the Liao territory is newly occupied, and the country is unstable. In addition, our army has repeatedly defeated the Jin people, and the Jin people's military morale will definitely be shaken.
At this time, our troops marched out in two directions, attacking Youzhou and Tanzhou to seize Gubeikou.
At the same time, Liu Yanqing can be ordered to go north and garrison Yanmen, while Han Shizhong leads his army into the Liao territory and goes north to seize the three inner passes. As long as they hold on to the inner three passes, they can cut off the Jin soldiers from Datong, Xijing, from returning to Youzhou.
As long as our army keeps the Jin people out of the Great Wall, the Yanyun Jin soldiers can catch turtles in the jar. The students think that the seven states of Yanyun will be within reach within half a year at most."
When Yue Fei joined forces with Guan Sheng to defeat Wanyan Lou's family at Baigou River, he had already thought of taking advantage of the situation to go north and capture Youzhou. Now he saw that he coincided with Wang Lin, so how could he not be excited.
Ma Kuo also held up his hands and said: "My lord, I think it is a safe strategy to support a small Liao court to control the people of the seven states of Yanyun.
Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much... Since this small court is under the control of my army, once Yan Yun is stabilized, we can actually eliminate it to avoid future troubles."
As soon as Ma Kuo said these words, Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan, who were sitting in the audience, trembled in their hearts. Although they were a little dissatisfied, they could only lower their heads and pretend not to hear anything.
In fact, Ma Kuo's words were from the standpoint of the Song Dynasty, and the two women knew it well.
It is absolutely impossible for the Song State to sincerely support the remnants of the Liao people in restoring their country.
When the use value is lost in the future, the so-called small court of the Liao people will have no choice but to be destroyed.
Xiao Duolilai remembered that Wang Lin had mentioned to her that he wanted her to be the empress of this small court...
Could it be that in the prince's heart, the slave was just a tool to be used, a trophy that could be discarded at any time? She couldn't help but feel sad and chilled in her heart.
She thought about lightning in her mind, but she heard Ma Kuo say again: "Your Majesty, using the small court of the Liao people to control the people of Yanyun is only a temporary measure. The fundamental solution lies in...immigration!"
Ma Kuo took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the people and refugees who have recently migrated from Qinglai Prefecture, Jingxi Prefecture and Southeastern Prefectures have gradually arrived in Hebei. In the opinion of Xianguan, it is better to wait for the Yanyun Seven Prefectures to be taken down.
after
If these hundreds of thousands of people immigrate there, the fertile land in Yanyun Prefecture will be enough to feed these people and refugees!
The official believes that as long as the seven states of Yanyun are connected with Hebei, they will become the great granary of our army, and they will become the land of kings in at least two or three years!"
Ma Kuo looked very excited.
Wang Lin smiled and nodded slowly.
He knew better than Ma Kuo that in fact, the so-called Yanyun Seven States were, to put it bluntly, the land of Beijing and Tianjin in later generations, and they were not very big.
There are currently millions of Liao people living there. For the time being, the Jin Kingdom has not immigrated to Yanyun.
Although this piece of land is not large, its strategic location is very important, and the key is along the coast.
Ma Kuoti’s method of immigration is actually more reliable.
After all, the seven states of Yanyun and the vast plains are full of fertile and fertile fields. As long as the people of the Song Dynasty have land, they can firmly take root and survive.
Nowadays, a large number of landless refugees in the southeast are in urgent need of farmland.
As long as there is land, there is no need to worry about attracting Han people.
As long as the people of the Song Dynasty thrive and thrive, there is no need to worry about Yan Yun not being able to become a king.
Yue Fei and Ma Kuo continued to improve their ideas.
Wang Lin listened carefully and nodded occasionally.
The young Liu Qi would occasionally interject a few words, but Zhang Jun remained silent and looked gloomy from beginning to end.
As a staff advisor that King Yan valued very much, Zhang Jun has always remained silent, which undoubtedly showed his attitude.
But seeing that Wang Lin and everyone were in a feverish mood and had heated discussions, he did not stand up publicly to pour cold water on the situation.
Huang Qishan sat aside and glanced at Zhang Jun, then suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have something you don't know whether to say or not?"
Wang Lin has always respected this loyal and courageous civil servant who lost an arm on the battlefield against the Jin Dynasty, and so did Yue Fei and others.
As soon as Huang Qishan opened his mouth, Yue Fei and Ma Kuo stopped talking and looked at Huang Qishan with smiles.
Wang Lin slightly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Banshan, please speak!"
Huang Qishan's character is "Banshan".
Huang Qishan suddenly stood up, his empty left arm shaking slightly.
Huang Qishan looked deeply at Yue Fei and Ma Kuo, his expression gradually became cold, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, not to mention that Song Lan from Liao has ulterior motives and it is unbelievable. This time, Yue Pengju and Ma Zichong are talking empty talk and harming the country, and will trap the prince in
In a dangerous situation, his heart must be punished!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Yue Fei and Ma Kuo were even more shocked. They didn't know why Huang Qishan attacked them and had such a bad attitude.
Wang Lin was also a little confused: "Mr. Banshan, why did you say this?"
Huang Qishan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am firmly opposed to attacking Yanyun at this time, and even more opposed to supporting the small court of Laoshizi Liao people to control the Liao people. This is an act that will cause trouble!"
Wang Lin took a breath of air: Isn't it?
"Your Majesty, with the current power of our army and the power of victory, it should be possible to capture the seven states of Yanyun, but the difficulty is how to maintain long-term peace and stability.
Millions of Liao people in the seven states of Yanyun supported the Liao clan as kings and raised the banner of Liao people's restoration of the country. In time, millions of Liao people gathered together, which will surely cause internal troubles to the Song Dynasty and make it difficult to return.
Kuang Yanyun's land still has 100,000 gold soldiers. When our army goes north, there will definitely be a bloody battle with the gold soldiers. It may be possible to win, but our army will suffer heavy casualties after this battle.
After the war, our army will divide its troops to garrison at Gubeikou, Yuguan and Neisan Pass to counter the Jin people's hundreds of thousands of troops. As a result, there will not be many troops stationed in the seven states of Yanyun.
If the remnants of the Liao people take advantage of the situation to rise up and encircle millions of Liao people in civil strife, our army will be attacked from both sides!
Your Majesty, this is the Liao people's strategy to drive away tigers and devour wolves, and it is absolutely unacceptable!"
Yue Fei frowned and retorted: "Mr. Banshan, the remnants of the Liao people are now a mass subjugation, so there is nothing to fear! Our army is divided into troops and stationed at various passes, and we still have the remaining strength to guard the interior, so there will be no chaos!"
Huang Qishan sneered: "Huangkou boy, don't be so arrogant that you forget about it just because the prince has guided and taught you and won a few battles!
How can the Liao people despise it? The Jin people are tigers and the Khitans are wolves. How can the people of tigers and wolves despise them?
The Song Dynasty and the Liao people have been at odds for hundreds of years. Although the Liao Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, its national power still remains. How can it be a problem to raise tigers?"
Yue Fei was young after all, so he was repeatedly scolded by Huang Qishan, a man of high moral character. His face turned red and he was speechless for a while.
Huang Qishan turned to look at Ma Kuo again and sneered: "Ma Zichong, you keep on emigrating to Yanyun. Don't you know that this is an act of causing disaster?"
"There are millions of Liao people in the seven states of Yanyun, and most of their cultivated land is owned by them.
If the Song Dynasty blindly migrated a large number of refugees to Yan, where would the land come from?
We must seize it from the hands of the Liao people... Huh, no matter the Song people or the Liao people, the land is the foundation for their livelihood. If you cut off the path of life, how can the Liao people not do the same?
At this point, our army has suffered heavy losses in bloody battles with the Jin soldiers. We will divide our troops into different areas, and any remaining strength will be wasted in conquering the civil strife of the Liao people. With all this, the main force of the Eastern Army that the prince has painstakingly built will be destroyed within a year at most.
will turn into nothing.
At this time, the Jin soldiers marched south, how could the Song Dynasty resist? The Song Dynasty would surely perish because of this!
Therefore, your lord and your subordinates think that Song Lan, a native of Liao, has evil intentions and should be punished!
However, Yue Pengju and Ma Zichong failed to distinguish between authenticity, confused the public, and deceived the King. They should also be severely punished to set an example to others!"
"Ignorant idiot! What shame do you have in a high position?!"
Huang Qishan pointed at Yue Fei and Ma Kuo with one finger and cursed.
Yue Fei and Ma Kuo looked at each other with pale faces.
They suddenly realized that Huang Qishan was right, they were indeed a little too fanatical and had lost their minds.
Yue Fei and Ma Kuo were silent for a while, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the last general (junior) did not think carefully and almost harmed the country. Please punish me!"
Wang Lin let out a long sigh.
At this moment, he slowly calmed down.
After all, I was still a little anxious.
He wanted to regain the old land of Yanyun in one fell swoop, and then go north to destroy Jin.
Military and state affairs are not like playing chess. Three or five chess moves can lead to a great victory, and a single shot in the head can seal the victory in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Huang Qishan, who was sober and wise, gave him a basin of cold water.
Wang Lin bowed his hands to Huang Qishan and said, "Mr. Banshan's words are astonishing and enlightening. I am alone in being taught!"
Wang Lin looked at Zhang Jun, who had been silent all this time: "Why is Deyuan silent?"
Zhang Jun smiled, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Banshangong said is true. The land of Yanyun is not undesirable, but we must take the long term into account."
Wang Lin nodded slowly.
Even Zhang Jun sees it this way, which shows that he, Yue Fei and Ma Kuo are still a bit radical and fanatical.
Sometimes, it is civil servants like Zhang Jun and Huang Qishan who are familiar with the meaning of history and success, failure and rise and fall who see it more thoroughly.
