The main direction of the Song Dynasty was Shanhaiguan, which was the best fulcrum for attacking Liaodong. The four armies arrived in carriages. In order to improve their ability to transport troops, all the troops in the Song Dynasty now relied on carriages, which was unimaginable in the past.

The cement-made road and carriage perfectly combine to form the most powerful troop transport passage in the Song Dynasty. Tens of thousands of soldiers only need a thousand carriages, and it only takes three and half an hour to stop a day to get from Beijing to Shanhaiguan!

Such transportation capacity is so high that the entire Song Dynasty's resources are gathering towards Shanhaiguan, which has become the most solid city. The direction of the Song Dynasty's attack is very obvious, with Shanhaiguan as the rear and heading north.

Haiyang City in Runzhou, Qianmin County Town in Qizhou, Laibin City, Haibin City, Xingcheng, Yonghe, Anchang, Jinzhou City, etc. These cities are all coastal cities of the Liao people. To the east is the Liaohai Sea. To the north, they can also receive assistance from the Navy fleet.

Zhao Zhen only needs to explain the strategic direction clearly. How to fight the road and how to fight is the problem of Di Qing, the Privy Councilor. Now, as long as he, Di Hanchen, participates in it, he can generally play the role of the Dinghai Scientific Needle.

The strategy is mainly Zhao Zhen and the tactics are mainly Di Qing. This is the way of using troops in the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen will never intervene too much.

The main node of this war was the Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, Liao Dynasty. While the Song Dynasty sent troops to the Liao Dynasty to fight north, the Hei Shui Governor's Office and the Hei Shui Army would also go south, and the two armies formed a clamp-shaped offensive of north-south attacks.

But this is not the end. The Dengzhou Navy fleet of the Song Dynasty would also participate, divided into two groups, one by one to cover the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Army from Shanhaiguan, and the other to attack directly from the sea to the throat of Liaoyang Prefecture, Yaozhou and Chenzhou.

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with this detailed military use plan. The troops were divided into three groups, and they were all on the Shanghai side. This was also a diversified military strike, which almost brought the existing power of the Song Dynasty to the extreme. It can be said that this offensive plan was extremely appropriate.

The Qinzheng Hall was very quiet. Zhao Zhen took a pen and read it with the red marks on the memorials. The word "ke" is the best affirmation of the Privy Council. It is necessary to know people and make good use of it as an emperor.

Sancai carefully accepted this memorial. After reviewing it by the officials, the memorials of the two governments must be passed back as soon as possible, so that the ministers of the two governments can understand the attitude of the officials. The memorial in front of him needs to be passed on to the Privy Council quickly.

The memorials Zhao Zhen read not only included the Privy Council, but also various memorials from the Secretariat and the Sansi Department. The beginning of a war also meant that all the yamen in the Song Dynasty had to operate efficiently, and countless memorials came like snowflakes.

The appointment of Sima in the army, the significance of this war, the attitude towards the Liao Dynasty, and even the condemnation and manifesto of the Liao Dynasty, etc., must be the responsibility of the Secretariat. The three departments are even more busy. Once such a large-scale war is involved, the three departments will be the key government that will bear the brunt of the brunt of the logistical support, and the three departments will be completely responsible for the three departments, and they must not be neglected at all.

Bao Zheng had basically no chance of going home during this period. He lived in the government yamen with officials from the Third Division, commanding the dispatch of military rations, military ordnance, and chariots and horses overnight.

For the Song Dynasty, the war was about national strength and family fortune. The Beiping Prefecture sent troops alone reached 300,000, of which the four troops occupied 200,000, the Beiwei Army, 80,000, the White Army, and the miscellaneous civilians' labor service, the total number was no less than 500,000!

For the Song Dynasty, the speed of propulsion is not important. The most important thing is the speed of supply and the speed of logistics. If the logistics supply cannot keep up, it will be useless whether the front army breaks through a hundred miles or a thousand miles.

The Song Dynasty's development of Liaodong had already invested bonds from the people. This time, the road between them and Liaodong was opened, so naturally they could no longer raise funds from the people, but some people could pay...

For example, the royal merchants and general merchants who have already given money, their money-saving and disaster-free traveling private merchants follow suit.

This is a feudal society. Don’t forget the supremacy of imperial power. Zhao Zhen’s will is more important than anything else. Since the royal family and the merchants of the generals paid, how could the private capital, which was the largest capital, was the most powerful, prompted the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty to avoid it?

Zhao Zhen stood up after the imperial case in Qinzheng Hall, relaxed his waist, looked at Sancai with bright eyes and said, "Let's go and fight against the rich with me!"

Sancai didn't know what it means to beat a rich man, but when he saw the appearance of the official family, he felt a little sharpening his knife and rushing toward the pigs and sheep. Obviously, some people were in trouble again, and they were "respected" by the official family, and they would even lose their skin even if they were not killed.

The private merchants actively supported this Northern Expedition to Liaodong, but what they did not expect was the official summoning, and the person they summoned was Wang Shi, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce elected by a group of merchants.

The so-called chairman of the chamber of commerce was not recommended by the amount of family capital, but by the level of ability. Wang Shi not only operates a good business, but also has a high vision. As early as when the factory in the Song Dynasty rose, he asserted: "The benefits of the world will be released from the factory later!"

The other veterans of the Chamber of Commerce are not ordinary people, and they are all very good at all. Among them, there are a few who once held important positions in Cai Ji and Bi Yaxuan!

It can be said that the chamber of commerce composed of private merchants gathered a lot of talents from the Song Dynasty. These people may not necessarily have their own business names or family assets. Many of them are like Wang Shi, just like Cai Boqi, the shopkeeper of Cai Ji.

The operating model of the chamber of commerce relies on merchants to pay annual fees, and the charging standards are very strange. Not all merchants have to pay. Small merchants do not have to pay a penny at all. The fees paid by ordinary merchants are also very small. The rest is voluntary donations with wealthy merchants.

This chamber of commerce has no name, only the simple word "chamber of commerce", but its weight is not light. There were some spontaneous chambers of commerce established before, such as Huizhou Chamber of commerce, Qingzhou Chamber of commerce, Yongshun Chamber of commerce, etc., all of which were merged or cracked down by it, leaving only the word "chamber of commerce".

The function of the Chamber of Commerce is to help everyone integrate their interests. As the saying goes, there are rivers and lakes where there are people, shopping malls are like battlefields, and chambers of commerce are places where all parties fight and compromise.

As for ordinary merchants who encounter trouble, they have their own guilds under the Chamber of Commerce to settle the matter. They have to pay money to join the guild, which is the same as the guilds in later generations, but the guilds should be more formal and the services they can provide will be more comprehensive.

It even says that as long as you have money, from business, to shops, and to all parties, the guild will do it for you. You just need to pay a certain fee and you will have to run the rest yourself. The guild will also provide you with additional advertising services. Of course, you have to pay money. Even if your business is not good and you want to sell the store, the guild can also help you!

Zhao Zhen was shocked after seeing this model. No wonder private capital has grown so much. The wealthy businessmen have reached a tacit understanding through the chamber of commerce, and some businesses even have equity participation!

This made their interests tied together. The united merchants have terrible power, and capital quickly grew in this invisible power.

It seems that I should attack this "fat sheep" and provoke the war between the Song and Liao. Although it is for the benefit of the Song Dynasty, doing so always violates Zhao Zhen's norms. What if the interests of the Liao Dynasty are higher than those of the Song Dynasty one day? Will these capitals commit treason?
