Chapter 157: Military Exploits (Third Update)

If at an ordinary moment, Dong Jiandu kicked the head of Mongolia in front of him, it does not mean that he will be promoted to a knighthood, but it will be the death knell of death.

The Great Song Dynasty had already broken the courage of the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols, and did not dare to offend these powerful countries at all, and just wanted to survive in the city of Lin'an, drunk with gold.

If his subordinates suddenly reported and beheaded the Mongol national teacher, then the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty would only cut off the heads of all the people involved and send them to Mongolia, so as to please the lord of the country and avoid the addition of Mongolian swords and soldiers.

But now it's different!

Dong Jian looked at the privy envoy in armor with extremely admiring eyes, and looked at the dragon rider who came to the world.

As long as this celestial being is in the Great Song Dynasty for one day, their status is destined to change.

Even this change may extend to the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty may be shaken, and the military generals will no longer be treated so harshly.

In the past, Di Qing's most relied on generals were beheaded at will, and they were casually charged, at that time, Di Qing, who was in a high position, did not dare to speak, once he spoke, even he might suffer a disaster.

And Di Qing, the fierce general who reached the level of privy envoy with his military merits, was dismissed by Ouyang Xiu, the head of the literati, on the basis of feng shui-related issues, rather than any political mistakes.

Ouyang Xiu believed that it was precisely because Di Qing had achieved the position of privy envoy that it would cause floods in the Great Song Dynasty, so he dismissed Di Qing from his official position.

And the entire Great Song Dynasty civil officials all cheered, only in favor and without opposition, which completely opened the prelude to the Great Song Dynasty's depreciation of military generals.

Donghua is a good son, how to explain?

Only civil officials who are serious are good children, and as for military generals, they are similar to animals in the eyes of literati.

The Great Song Dynasty was the first in the world in terms of economy, but it had never won a battle since the founding of the country hundreds of years ago, so did the Great Song Dynasty not have this strength? No, the Great Song Dynasty was not only the first in the world in terms of economic strength, but also had its technology in all aspects developed to the peak.

The cannon that can break the city was invented by the Great Song Dynasty, and the shooting distance of crossbow arrows and bows is also the first in the world in this era.

Is it because the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty do not have the courage? No, they can resist the impact of war horses with their flesh and blood, and they cannot find anyone in the whole history.

And in the Great Song Dynasty, this is the norm.

Resisting a war horse at the moment of sprinting with flesh and blood, just like a normal person resisting a car in a driving state, it feels like a crazy person's behavior when you think about it, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty did it.

But they just can't win.

Because every time it is the civilian officials who can only fight, the general who commands the army has made all the deployments, and the civilian officials like to show off an operation.

It's like a mage who has to fight hand-to-hand with a warrior head-on, and will be taught to be a human being by his opponent all the time.

But the Great Song Dynasty's policy towards civil officials is good, anyway, if they lose, they don't have to take the blame, and the heads of the generals don't need money, just cut them casually.

This led to a vicious circle, Yue Fei, the most famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, was killed on trumped-up charges, and Di Qing, who was able to beat the Western Xia to the point of fleeing for his life, served as a privy envoy and never had the opportunity to command the army, and finally dismissed the official and died of depression.

Even if the Great Song Dynasty carried out such a riotous operation, there are still hundreds of years of national fortune, and I have to say that his economy and technology have really reached the peak of this era.

And now that Tang Xuanming is here, all this is destined to change.

During the five days he spent in Lin'an City, he didn't do nothing, he patronized and cultivated, but he discussed with the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty every day how to become an immortal and a god.

"The king of the world will become a god!"

This is the most important sentence that Tang Xuanming left to the Great Song Emperor, and I believe that this sentence can stimulate the Great Song Emperor who is crazy about immortality and immortality to become an immortal and become a god to make some changes.

And as long as this emperor makes some changes, he is no longer so afraid of the rebellion of the officers below, so that Tang Xuanming has enough time to lead the army, and he has the confidence to lead the Great Song Dynasty to sweep the world.

"Have you memorized the military merit system I asked you to remember?"

Tang Xuanming asked Dong Jian beside him.

Dong Jian bowed and said, "I remember almost, but this kind of system seems to be a bit like the policy of tyrannical Qin." ”

"Huh, Tyrant Qin?"

Tang Xuanming just sneered, it was the system of the Qin State, the Han Dynasty lasted for more than 400 years, under the stimulation of the military merit system, the Huns fled frantically, and they didn't dare to stay within the territory of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the south, grazing horses, even saving their lives was a problem, and they were directly driven to the side of Europe.

The economy of the Great Song Dynasty is the first in the world, and the weakness is also the first in the world, if you want to make this sheep become a hungry wolf that eats meat, it is necessary to adapt some of the military merit system of the Qin State, of course, it is impossible to copy it directly, and it is impossible for this era.

It needs to change little by little according to the context of this era.

Of course, all of this takes a long time.

"My lord, the Mongolian protector mage died here, and there is a prince of Mongolia, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar in the Great Mongolia, the Mongolian Emperor Meng Ge himself is eyeing the Great Song Dynasty, and the news is transmitted back to Mongolia, I am afraid that Xiangyang City will face sword soldiers in the near future. ”

Guo Jing, who has entered middle age, still has a simple face, but he has become more and more majestic, he is a national character face, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Tang Xuanming's era.

Since taking over the power of Xiangyang City, Guo Jing's majesty has increased day by day, and he is no longer stupid in his early years, and he is the best general Tang Xuanming has seen since the Great Song Dynasty.

"It's all my decision, I will report everything that happened here to Lin'an City, you are in a confrontation with Mongolia, you bought us precious time, we will not forget this credit. ”

Tang Xuanming smiled and patted Guo Jing's shoulder, and he had a good impression of this chivalrous man who spoke out about chivalry and served the country and the people.

This is not empty talk, and he really swore to the death, Xiangyang City fought to the last moment, Guo Jing and Huang Rong died in Xiangyang City, but it really happened.

And with Guo Jing's strength close to the first in the world after middle age, it is difficult for him to defend Xiangyang City, but it is easy for him to go with his whole body, but he fought Xiangyang City to the death, and like all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, blood spattered on the battlefield.

Tang Xuanming had no doubt about his belief that it was the luck of this era and the luck of all the people of the Great Song Dynasty to be able to appear such a warrior who could lead the troops to fight.

The sad thing is that Guo Jing can only lead the soldiers of Xiangyang City, and he can't get the slightest help, no matter how good his martial arts are.

"I'm here, and this won't happen like this. ”

Tang Xuanming looked up at the north, as if he saw a vicious wolf roaring.

And Guo Jing just smiled bitterly under the appeasement of this adult, he has fought too many battles over the years, paid too much for the Great Song Dynasty, but got too little, and even more harsh.

He deeply understood the problem of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was powerless to change it.

He understood that, normally, it was a great merit to kill the prince and a national teacher of the enemy country, but for the Great Song Dynasty, it might be a great capital crime.
