The next day, Zhao Dongting really didn't go out of the palace to Zhu Zongyao and Yue? Wait for someone to see them off.

If you don't send it, you are afraid that these people who will be sent away will not be able to return.

Whether it is Hong Wutian, Mrs. Xu, or Zhu Zongyao, Yue, or even Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang and others, Zhao Dongting and them are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends.

This can be said to be Zhao Dongting's most failed place as a monarch, but at the same time, it is also the place where his personality charm is most vividly reflected.

The dormitory was bustling and commotioning.

The eldest prince Zhao Ru and Concubine Jing Zhang Ru slept with the emperor last night, and when they woke up, they found that the eldest prince had wet the bed again.

Of course, this is not a big deal, but the palace maids who are waiting in the dormitory are still busy changing the bedding for Zhao Dongting and so on.

The emperor is indeed different from the emperors in the past, and the emperors in the past have no precedent for sleeping with the prince.

In a secluded place in Changsha City, there is a house. The plaque hanging outside the house is the Zhu Mansion.

At this time, there were children crying in Zhu's mansion.

Zhu Zongyao, Zhu Hecong, and Zhu Haiwang, father and son, were all dressed in military costumes, each carrying a burden, and resigned with his family in the courtyard.

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang, as little yellow men, are small officials, but it can be expected that their achievements will not be too low in the future. Both of them have married after arriving in Changsha, and they are both official families.

The wives of both of them were holding their children at this time, looking at them with tears in their eyes.

"Old man......"

Mrs. Zhu is undoubtedly the most reluctant, but looking at her husband and two children, she doesn't know what to say.

Their Zhu family is indeed grateful to the emperor, and now it is a national crisis, and she has no reason to stop her husband and children from serving the country.

In the end, a thousand words were reduced to just a few words, "You all have to come back alive." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help crying.

Zhu Qingfu and Zhu Celadon sisters supported Mrs. Zhu, and their eyes were full of reluctance and worry.

Although it is said that Zhu Zongyao has the cultivation of the Shangyuan Realm, and the brothers Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang are going out as deputy marshals, this does not mean that they are absolutely safe.

In ancient times, a few people returned, and the battlefield was unpredictable, not to mention the Shangyuan realm, that is, the true martial realm, or even the extreme realm, and it was very likely to fall on the battlefield.

"Madame, don't worry."

Zhu Zongyao had a faint smile on his face, "We will definitely return safely." ”

But there is also a look of reluctance in his eyes.

In fact, how can he guarantee that he and his two children will be able to come back safely?

Now, he only feels that his wife, daughter, and grandchildren in front of him can't see enough. I just want to engrave them forever in my eyes.

But there will always be a time to separate.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Zongyao said, "Let's go!" ”

Then he pinched the little faces of his infant grandson and granddaughter, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

The brothers Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang knelt in front of Mrs. Zhu and kowtowed, and then left.

"Old man......"

The women in the house watched their figures disappear at the gate of the courtyard and cried.

And such a situation is also playing out in several other houses in Changsha City at this time.

Some of the Wudingtang worshippers had already settled in Changsha City, but at this time they had no choice. They enjoy the treatment of worship, and they must pay for the court.

When it was about the time of arrival, the crowd gathered on the front street outside the palace.

Mountain? and more than two hundred Shadow Hall enshrined in black robes, in addition to Hong Wutian, Tie Liduan, Kumano, and Mrs. Xu, the four old names of the Hall of Glory, as well as the four true martial arts realm powerhouses of the original Yanyu Hall, Red Ghost, Sword Fourteen, Iron Tiger, and Lone Wolf, are all here.

This can already be said to be the gathering of half of the top masters of Wuding Hall.

All of them were armed and dressed as quacks.

There are guards on the side leading fast horses. The war horse seemed to sense that it was going to go on an expedition, and snorted a little uneasily.

When Zhu Zongyao, Zhu Hecong, and Zhu Haiwang and his son arrived, the group did not delay any longer, and got on their horses one after another, heading towards the outside of Changsha City.

I don't know how many people can be drawn from the defenders of Guangnan West Road, but what they will resist is the army of 50,000 Yue Li Dynasty. This is undoubtedly a difficult task.

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

The folk matter about Zhao Xian's assassination continues to ferment.

Although there was no chaos in the DPRK and China, it seemed that dark clouds were always shrouded in it.

Zhao Dongting didn't try to resolve these public opinions, because it was useless, and he didn't have the mind. All he had to do was to let the military intelligence department keep an eye on the officials in the DPRK and China.

As long as there is no chaos between the DPRK and China, when this war is over, the truth will always be revealed, and then public opinion will be self-defeating.

If you try to resolve these public opinions now, you may add fuel to the fire, and even make the ministers of the DPRK and China think that he did it.

It's parting again.

On this day, I don't know how many families in Changsha City are experiencing the sorrow of parting.

The Flying Dragon Army escorted thousands of grain trucks out of Changsha.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu took the lead, and the army did not stop after coming out of the barracks. I don't know how many people on both sides of the street are sending each other off.

But Zhao Dongting still didn't come out to send him off.

He didn't like the parting scene. Plus, he has his own things to do.

When the Flying Dragon Army left Changsha, Zhao Dongting was writing in the imperial study.

In the past, when he had not returned to Changsha, he implemented military reform, and in addition to the forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty, the garrison of the lower and lower counties of each prefecture was only 500, the middle county was 700, and the upper county, the county was 1,000 people. Cigi County and Cichi County are 1,000 and 5, and Ki County and Chi County are 2,000. The state capitals are also 1,005, and only the governor's mansions and jiedu mansions also have 2,000 establishments.

Compared with cities with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, this defender is naturally nothing.

It's just that Zhao Dongting had no choice at that time, because he gave the officials and soldiers excellent treatment. With the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty at that time, it was impossible to support the training of too many soldiers.

It was only later that the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty grew, and he implemented military reform again.

In the lower, lower, and lower counties, the garrison has a strength of 1,000 people.

There are 1,500 people in Shang, Jian and Wang counties.

2,000 people in Cigi and Cichi counties, and 3,000 people in Ki and Chi counties.

The number of counties was likewise raised to three thousand.

The biggest change is in the various Jiedu Mansions, although the number of defenders has only been increased to 3,000. However, there are special garrison military regions, each with an establishment of 10,000 people, such as the Changde Garrison Military Region in Wenqi.

This time, Zhao Dongting did not plan to increase the number of defenders in various counties and states, after all, there was only so much population in this era. He didn't want all the people of the Great Song Dynasty to be soldiers.

No matter how good a country where all the people are soldiers can fight well, the people's livelihood will not be much better.

However, he planned to further increase the strength of the garrison military districts.

Jingjiang Mansion on West Guangnan Road, Xianglong Mansion (Guangzhou) on East Guangnan Road, Kuizhou Mansion on Kuizhou Road, Fu'an Mansion on Fujian Road (Fuzhou), Jiangling Mansion on Jinghu North Road, Longxing Mansion on Jiangnan West Road, and the garrison are in Changde, but in fact the establishment is the Changde Garrison Military Region belonging to Tanzhou Mansion on Jinghu South Road. There are a total of seven garrison military districts, and he has to expand their establishment to 20,000 people.

Of course, this will make the burden of the Great Song Dynasty heavier, but it has to do it.

Shuzhong, Dali, and Yue Li Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty at the same time, even if the Zhenxi Military Region and the Zhennan Military Region could win, there must be a lot of losses. At that time, it will have to be replenished from the garrison military districts.

Moreover, what Zhao Dongting has to do is not just to repel Shuzhong, no, it should be said that the New Song Dynasty. He didn't just want to repel the armies of the New Song Dynasty and Dali.

Duan Qilin has always been eyeing the Great Song Dynasty and even using tricks, which has made his patience close to the limit.

If you want to fight, you can just fight.

Zhao Dongting also figured it out now.

At most, after fighting, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty will be regressed for several years or even more than ten years, but with his statecraft, it is completely possible to make the Great Song Dynasty prosperous again in a shorter period of time.

He has such confidence.

If he wanted to compare how to develop and prosper the country, he asked himself that no one in this era was more proficient than him. After all, he had modern knowledge in his head.

"Ha Cong ......"

After Zhao Dongting stopped writing, he habitually shouted Zhu Hecong's name.

But no one answered.

He raised his head, and then remembered that Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang had gone to Yongzhou. Sighing softly, he said to Gong Li on the side: "Sign this decree." ”

Gonggong Li bowed down to take the holy decree and walked out of the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting scratched his head and whispered to himself, "The seven garrison military regions have replenished a total of 70,000 people, and I don't know if it is enough......

However, this should already be the limit that the Great Song Dynasty National Power can bear now. Any further increase in the number of troops will have a considerable impact on people's livelihood.
