Chapter 33: The Carrot in the Donkey's Eyes
Looking at the appearance of their master and servant, Yun Zhengwan smiled and said: "Without the will of His Majesty, who dares to build an army privately, the young army is still only a village warrior, and the number is only three thousand, and they are all trained by retired sergeants, and it will take a year or two to become an army. ”
Yun Zheng could clearly feel Zhao Zhen and Chen Lin's relaxed voices, and the cold aura in the side hall slowly dissipated. Yun Zheng didn't believe that there was no strong martial artist in this side hall guarding in secret.
"Why build such an army?" Zhao Zhen still asked the doubts in his heart.
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "These three thousand youth army is actually the template for the future army of the Great Song Dynasty, not only the Wusheng army will be eliminated, but in the future, the army of my Great Song Dynasty will be slowly replaced by an army like the Youth Army." ”
"Why?" Chen Lin asked.
"Why? It is because the current army of the Great Song Dynasty can no longer keep up with the pace of military development, as the life and death barrier of the Great Song Dynasty, they need to complete the change in the shortest possible time, and only in this way can they keep up with the pace of military evolution.
Majesty, since the invention of the new gunpowder war has undergone earth-shaking changes, the way of war has been completely and completely changed, in the past in our eyes the impregnable city, under the power of gunpowder has become a smooth road, Weichen this time the army into Jiaozhi, on the one hand, to obtain the wealth of the country, on the other hand, is to use the strong city of Thang Long City to test the power of the new gunpowder, the result does not need to be said by Weichen Majesty Xià also saw the result, In the siege of hundreds of thousands of Jiaozhi troops, Weichen conquered the fortified city in less than a day, leaving Li Dezheng, the king of Jiaozhi, with nowhere to escape.
To tell the truth, Li Dezheng is not a dizzy and immoral king, on the contrary, he is a king who can be regarded as a famous king in both military and political affairs, but the appearance of gunpowder did not give him half of the room to prepare. In the end, if you want to know the power of gunpowder, you can ask Li Dezheng, he is the party. It should be the most vocal. ”
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "If you want to change the military system, I'm afraid you will encounter obstacles that you can't imagine, even if I agree with you to do this, this is not something that can be completed overnight." ”
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "The difference between the change of the military system and the change of the political system is that his change can have an immediate effect, as long as the young army suddenly rises, it is not allowed for those ministers not to participate in the change."
Otherwise, the power of the boys' army is too heavy, which is not something that those ministers can tolerate at all, and they do not dare to destroy the Great Wall in today's situation of strong enemies, and if they want to divide the power of the boys' army, they need to have an army that they can control to contend with it. Weichen didn't think that the current army of the Great Song Dynasty could compete with the young army.
Di Gong as a generation of famous generals has long seen the way of victory of the Wusheng army, Weichen also gave him a large part of the gunpowder in the general, after trying the power of gunpowder, he will take the risk to distribute the rewards of Dali to the Western Army, hoping that the Western Army can catch up with the pace of the Wusheng Army and not fall behind. Therefore, it is very unreasonable for those imperial historians to impeach Di Gong.
Di Gong will not sue His Majesty if he says this, otherwise he will become a despicable villain in the army, and he can only resist these grievances by himself, and it doesn't matter if Wei Chen says it, he picks it away, and it is a scene of real doing things. ”
"Do you think those civilian officials will not be a resistance to the change of the military system?" Zhao Zhen was interested, and he found that Yun Zheng's way of doing things seemed to be very different from others. Others are suppressing some people, and then using some new people, there will always be some vested interests who will be damaged, Yun Zheng's method is good because all the power is twisted into a rope, he really wants to hear Yun Zheng's views in this regard.
"Your Majesty, Pang Gong. Han Gong, and even Wen Gong, who has a grudge against Wei Chen, which one is not a pillar of talent? Not to mention them, although Weichen had a little upper hand when he was fighting with Fubi in Fengxiang Mansion, you know how Weichen came out of Fengxiang Mansion. It was the fast horses and whips that hurried day and night, which made Fu Bi a step slower and called for Hehe in vain.
Bao Gong, Zeng Gong, which of these people is a hero, such a large number of talents are not needed, let Weichen do so many things by himself, even if he is tired of Weichen, he can't do it.
My teacher once said that the donkey does not go, pulls backwards, as long as a carrot is hung on the donkey's head, it will obediently go forward, and Weichen thinks so. ”
Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Where are your carrots?" ”
Chen Lin also smiled and said: "The Yanyan princes in the court are all real tigers, where will it be the donkey you said?" ”
Yun Zheng followed with a smile and said, "Your Majesty Wu Shengjun saw it, right?" Presumably, these days, all of you colleagues have asked Your Majesty for martial arts soldiers, right? I'm afraid that the nine military marquis have been assigned by those colleagues in their hearts now, right? Zeng Gongliang's gunpowder has probably been distributed now, right?
Wei Chen dared to say that before His Majesty had not yet chosen, they would not act rashly, and once His Majesty had selected the soldiers of the Wusheng Army, those colleagues of the ministers would pounce on them like hungry tigers to divide the Wusheng Army cleanly.
Once these people are divided by your colleagues, there is only one purpose, that is, to unify the army, and these people already have the brand of the Wusheng Army, and the trained army will inevitably be almost the same as the Wusheng Army, which is also your wish.
What you don't know is that once these armies become the second Wusheng army, their habits and practices will inevitably move closer to the young army, and when those armies involuntarily complete the change, hehe, it will be the turn of Weichen and others to lead the army to attack the sixteen states of Yanyun. It's time for my Great Song to fulfill Taizu's grand wish. ”
Zhao Zhen suppressed his trembling hands and hissed, "Do you have a comprehensive plan?" ”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "This is a huge plan, Wei Chen is going to discuss with Di Gong and discuss it with His Majesty, if His Majesty has leisure, you might as well participate together, Wei Chen and Di Gong are responsible for drawing up the plan, and Your Majesty is responsible for supervising and supervising in the back, Wei Chen doesn't believe that after five years, my army of the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to cross the Yishui River." ”
Zhao Zhen walked around the hall for several circles before calming down his almost boiling blood, and said faintly: "Spread my will, Di Qing privately seized, his crime is unforgivable, order, confiscate the seal letter in Di Qing's hand, think about it behind closed doors, and you can't leave Beijing without an order." Yun Zheng beat and supervised the imperial history, and acted recklessly, which was the responsibility of failing to educate, and ordered him to study behind closed doors, and he was not allowed to leave Beijing without an order. ”
Yun Zheng said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Weichen also plans to participate in the big competition." ”
Zhao Zhen smiled: "You will get your wish." ”
Yun Zheng saw that the emperor seemed to be a little tired and didn't want to talk to him, so he said goodbye with a very good look, and when he saw the emperor nodding, Chen Lin accompanied him out of the palace.
Out of the Zichen Hall and came to the Daqing Gate, Yun Zheng stopped and asked Cheng Lin to turn around, he didn't dare to treat this old eunuch too slowly.
Chen Lin said in a low voice: "Let me send you out of the palace, today's words are worth it, the old man can still see that the dynasty has made new changes, I hope the old man can wait until you send troops to change the water." ”
Yun Zheng looked at the dazzling sunshine outside the Daqing Gate and said: "You will definitely see it, Shi Jingjiao, the emperor, buried the sixteen states of Yanyun, so that our dynasty has no danger to defend, and the people are taken captive by foreign enemies as slaves and maids, and the Great Song Dynasty has been trembling for many years waiting for the invasion of the enemy country, we have nothing but anything, and every war has brought the most cruel disasters to the Great Song Dynasty."
I am lazy by nature, I wanted to travel under the spring forest for a lifetime, after a helpless shot, but was wrapped in this red dust, since out of the mountain, then really do something, after all the enemies around me to lie down, Lao Tzu did not believe that he did not have a leisurely life, when the time came to ask His Majesty xià to ask for a small island, planted with ten miles of peach blossoms, put horses, chop wood, carry water, push the door and window outside is the boundless sea, you help me remember, if one day I am fascinated by the red dust, you tell me that I once had such a dream. ”
Chen Lin really didn't send Yun Zheng anymore, and saw him striding towards the Buhua Hall, this time Yun Zheng didn't make a mistake, he walked from the left, but he walked very fast.
Chen Lin squinted his eyes and smiled as he looked at Yun Zheng, who was striding away from the meteor, and muttered to himself: "The old man will remember your words, even if the old man dies, someone will remember your words and remind you that you want an island!" ”
Chen Lin walked into the hall with his body bent, Zhao Zhen was spinning in circles in the palace like a donkey, and there was not a single eunuch and palace maid waiting by his side, seeing Chen Lin come in, Zhao Zhen helped him sit down and said: "Companion, do you think Yun Zheng's strategy is feasible?" ”
"It's man-made, Your Majesty, it's man-made, Yun Zheng has sown a seed, we will see it sprout and spit out with our own eyes, we just need to cultivate this seedling carefully."
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Yun Zheng's performance today is too feasible compared to Fan Wenzheng's performance back then, one is like spring rain moistening everything, quietly, the other is like thunder, the mountains are shaking, the Great Song Dynasty can't withstand such thunder, so he has to be wronged, do you know, I look at the bright moon outside the window in the middle of the night and think about it, Qingli's new deal began in my hands and died in my hands, I don't know if my decision is correct, now I have no regrets, Yun Zheng's method is better than his, I will not let it go." ”
Chen Lin looked at the emperor whose expression changed from happy to low, and finally burst into tears, stroked his shoulder and said: "Fan Wenzheng won't complain about you, it's because they didn't do a good job themselves, and they preached the earth-shattering things before they were done, and they gathered countless enemies for themselves, you are for the stability of the court, there is nothing wrong." ”
Zhao Zhen gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Ancestors bless, the Great Song Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters over the years, and it has broken people's intestines. ”
