After Lu Qing read the letter, he said to Zhao Zhen: "Congratulations to King Xin." ”

Zhao Zhen was a little puzzled and said, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

"I still know Teng Shiyuan, although the military strategy is insufficient, but the political strategy is good, he has him in Qingzhou to collect grain and grass for His Royal Highness, and when His Royal Highness really leads his troops south, he can sit back and enjoy it."

Zhao Zhen smiled when he thought about it, and said, "That's true." The military academy who would serve came in with two bowls of noodles and said, "Your Highness has been busy all night, and I want to be hungry, but let's eat something." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Lone is really hungry." He took a bowl of noodles, handed it to Lu Qing first, and then took a bowl himself, and ate it with a sigh, Lu Qing took two bites of the bowl of noodles, looked at Zhao Zhen with a somewhat complicated gaze, and said softly: "On His Royal Highness, I really can't see the breath of those royal children." ”

Zhao Zhen sneered and said, "Those people look like they're eating, but they haven't been hungry." ”

Lu Qing was a little surprised and said, "What? Has Your Highness ever starved? ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I loved martial arts when I was young, and I always felt that the identity of this prince was in the way, and those martial artists didn't dare to teach me sincerely, so I secretly went out of the house to learn boxing in the Royal Boxing Gym. ”

Zhao Zhen had something to do, but only once, he didn't go again, and that time he wasn't really hungry, but left with his sleeves and went back to the palace to eat, as for him to starve refers to his years in the north, when he arrived in the north at the beginning of the year, the Jin people looked down on them these Song captives, wanton abuse, hungry food is a common thing, and later the Jin soldiers were defeated in the Central Plains, in order to ease relations with the Southern Song Dynasty, this was better for them, and the hungry thing was no longer there.

Zhao Zhen knew that he was wrong, but he was afraid that Lu Qing would ask again, so he diverted the topic and said, "Has the matter of the army reorganized by Mr. been organized?" ”

When Lu Qing heard Zhao Zhen ask, he couldn't help sighing, then stopped his chopsticks and said, "It was all in order, but now it's in trouble again." ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "But isn't Yang Wen easy to place?" ”

Lu Qing nodded and said: "Yang Wen has been a festival envoy, this is the ultimate in martial arts, now let him start from scratch, although he wants to kill the enemy, I am afraid that he will also be unwilling." ”

Zhao Zhen also stopped, this is indeed a problem, Yang Wen's official position is too high, and it is obviously unrealistic for him to give him a lack of deputy, but let him be the main general, Zhao Zhen is also not at ease, he still remembers Yang Wen's value, but he is just an ordinary general, and he is really a general, but Yang Wen came from a long way to vote, if he can't handle it well, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts.

"How did the gentleman arrange it before, but come and hear it." Zhao Zhen couldn't think of a way, so he could only throw it away first.

"I originally planned to divide the military horses into three battalions, with Fu Hong leading the horse barracks, Wenda and Qi Gong leading the Bu barracks, and Ma Kuan and Yueyang leading the pro-military camps, but now it ......." Lu Qing spread his hands and said, "If you can't arrange Yang Wen properly, I'm afraid of ......." He didn't go down, but the meaning was clear.

Zhao Zhen thoughtfully picked up the noodles and sent them to his mouth, thinking while chewing, and said half-loudly: "Yang Wen came to lead the infantry army, Wen Da and Qi Gong gave him his deputies, Fu Hong also led the Ma army, Ma Kuo gave him his deputy, and Yue Yang led the pro-military camp alone." ”

"Yueyang must not be so reassuring, and the Ma army is superior to the infantry army, I am only afraid of ......." Lu Qing worried,

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "Yueyang is still available now, in addition, the Song army lacks a horse army, even if these Hebei children have been in contact with war horses for a long time, they can't compare with the Jin people, the horse army can only be used as a strange soldier, and the infantry army is the foundation and pillar of our Song army, an ordinary person pulls it over, training three, you can become a foot soldier in battle, but a common person is trained for three years, and it may not be a good rider, Yang Wenjiu is in the army, how to train military horses He knows best, I will hand over our pillar to him, I don't believe he has anything to do. ”

Zhao Zhen's self-confidence comes from the fact that he feels that Yang Wen should be very loyal to him and will not argue in this kind of matter, so he is so sure.

Lu Qing was still worried: "Your Highness is still the heart, if the arrangement is not correct, I am afraid that it will hurt people's hearts." ”

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said; "I'll go with him."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen had made up his mind, Lu Qing didn't do anything more, but said: "I intend to divide another auxiliary army in the main army, concentrate the donkeys, mules and livestock in the army, and transport property and grain exclusively, and His Royal Highness will personally lead it and keep it in the middle army, otherwise this lot of grain, grass and property is really not easy to escort." ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Then you will personally take charge of this army." ”

Lu Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You already have the intention of making your subordinates a military advisor, and then hand over this army to me, the power in the army is in my hands, although your subordinates will never betray Your Highness, but this is a precedent, it is really inappropriate." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "Sir, there is no way to be lonely here, there are too few scribes under Lonely, and there is no one else except you, like this; You take care of it here, and when we get to Shandong, we will hand it over to Teng Shiyuan to manage, what do you think? ”

Lu Qing was helpless, so he had to respond, Zhao Zhen said again: "Sir, when I was in the palace, I saw a team of northern singers given by Liang Zhongshu to the four emperor brothers, they are tall, strong and powerful, even ordinary men can't compare, if it is a man in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that one of them can fight two, which makes me have an idea, when we recruit soldiers, why not also recruit some female soldiers, just pull out to Mrs. Ma to bring in person, although Mrs. Ma is brave, but as long as we have more generals in our hands, she will have to retreat from the front line sooner or later, But she has such a good martial arts, wouldn't it be a pity to waste it in vain? With such a female army, in the future, the defense of the city and the escort can be handed over to them, and they will be used as auxiliary troops, I think the women of the Northland are more poisoned by the Jin people, but they are afraid that they will do things no worse than those men. ”

Lu Qing's brows locked when he heard Zhao Zhen's 'Northland Singers' before, and when he heard Zhao Zhen praise the benefits of those singers, he was almost about to open his mouth to reprimand, but when he heard the back, he couldn't help but stretch his brows, laughed, and said: "Your Highness's idea is very good, I have always had the custom of female generals and female soldiers, Yang Lingpo, Hun Hou are all heroes among women, Your Highness has no choice but to arrange it like this, and Fu Hong knows that His Royal Highness is not for her temporary use, so she will naturally be more energetic, and she will definitely be able to do a good job in the female army." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Compared with the Jin people, we are not as good as Wu Yong, and only the population, regardless of men and women, who are stronger than him, can drive the Jin people out together." ”

Lu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, what His Highness said is very true, but ...... This female army must be separated from the male army, and no one must see this female army as a camp prostitute, otherwise no one will come, and the reputation of the female army will also be ruined, so I am afraid that no one will join the army again. ”

Zhao Zhen also knew that those old stubborns would definitely point fingers at the female army, so he said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, this is also what I mean by letting Mrs. Ma lead this army alone, and recruiting soldiers in the early stage, it is best to recruit those women who have been harmed by the Jin people, let alone forcibly recruit soldiers, I think it will take a long time, as long as the female army has maintained a clean reputation, it should be able to change people's minds." ”

Lu Qing thought for a while and said, "It's best to make an example of a hundred, this is the most effective." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "But if no one touches this red line, we can't make one out of force." ”

Lu Qing also knew this, so he could only sigh and say: "Also, I'm afraid that if we recruit the woman who was poisoned by the golden people first, we will be even more pointed at." ”

Zhao Zhen also knows that the Central Plains takes women's names more seriously, and their hometown is ravaged by the Jin people, and the victims are easy to hate others when they can't take revenge, and they will blame those women who have been hurt by the Jin people, once they all join the army, they will inevitably be gossiped, and there has always been a rumor, even ten truths may not be able to explain, but a few women from good families are willing to run to be soldiers, so they gritted their teeth and said: "Regardless of him, we can't just do things for a few gossips!" ”

As soon as Zhao Zhen's voice fell, he heard someone outside the hall answer: "Yes, I don't farm the land when I listen to the call of the lama cricket!" As she spoke, Fu Hong strode in, and Lu Qing couldn't help but scold: "You crazy girl, why did you come here like this, trespassing into the big tent, don't you know what the sin is?" ”

Fu Hong didn't care about Lu Qing's scolding, so he saluted Zhao Zhen and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving those women a way to live, so that they can also serve the country!" ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be happy, said; "Mrs. Ma, have you been listening outside?"

Fu Hong said a little embarrassed: "That's not it, the slave family has just arrived." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "In this way, if you want to do this sincerely, I will hand over this matter to you, and you will be responsible for the military orders and regulations, for example, the punishment in the army, male soldiers can take off their pants and beat the military stick, or pierce the camp through the ears, and tattoo the words on the face, and the female soldiers can't tattoo the words on the face in the first place, and it is not realistic to pierce the camp through the ears, take off the pants and beat the military stick, but I am afraid that I will not be killed, and I will commit suicide first, so the military orders and responsibilities will be different, and; The female army must advance and retreat together with the male soldiers, how to ensure that they do not let people gossip, even if it is to protect as much as possible, it is also a problem, you have to solve it, are you willing? ”

Fu Hongdou said high-spiritedly: "Please rest assured, everything is in Fu Hong, it's just whether the female army can be formed, and His Royal Highness has to give me a token!" ”

"Nonsense!" Lu Qing reprimanded: "How can this be reasonable! ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay." He thought about it, got up and walked to the desk, laid out a piece of rice paper, picked up the pen again, Fu Hong hurriedly came over, and sharpened the ink.

Zhao Zhen looked at the rice paper for a while, and then he was full of the pen, waved it on the rice paper, and wrote the three big characters of 'Fengyi Battalion', and said: "This is my handwriting, you let people embroider a big flag, the first batch of female soldiers recruited are all horse soldiers, and all the war horses in the Inner Yellow City belong to you, what do you think?" ”

Fu Hong was overjoyed, solemnly knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then took the rice paper with three big characters written on it with both hands, and held it in his hand with his heart, and at the moment when Fu Hong took it, in Zhao Zhen's mind, the voice of the system that had paused for a long time suddenly sounded: "The host is the first in history, and the reward is the positive, deputy, and three lists for free summoning." ”
