The new military system of the official family made many civil servants breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they did not squeeze the people's power, the official family could do whatever they wanted, Lu Zongdao also stood up tremblingly, and arched his hand at Zhao Zhen and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, it is the old minister who is confused, Your Majesty has always been lenient, this is the blessing of the people, the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and waved his hand and said: "This is not a lenient benevolence, the people who are classified as government soldiers still have to farm, still have to participate in training, and the elite sent from the forbidden army is responsible for training, and they may be more fortunate than the original farming!" ”

Lu Zongdao shook his head with a smile and said: "These are not fortunate for the people of my Great Song Dynasty, if the old minister guesses correctly, His Majesty's government soldiers should deal with the lack of soldiers in the state capitals, right?" ”

These words asked all the courtiers' questions, and Zhao Zhen naturally nodded and said: "That's right, the military state of the Great Song Dynasty has long existed in name only, and sometimes some yamen without soldiers manage the local people, it is better to cancel them all and then redivide the sixteen guards in the hinterland, and the number of each guard varies according to the warning range, as little as 10,000 and as much as 30,000." ”

Ding Wei, who was brushing his beard on the side, shuddered fiercely, and a handful of white flowers and flowers were torn off by him, how much subsidy does this cost! Even if there is one ploughing cow in five households, it will take tens of thousands of heads! And that's not even counting the assembly of weapons and military materials!

Ding Wei suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he quickly went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, with sixteen guards of such a scale, even if you sell the old minister to the third division, you can't afford to pay this money!" ”

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, Ding Wei is now getting older and more picky, the annual tax of the three divisions is not more than ten thousand, the tariffs of the merchants alone can be worth the taxes of Taizu for a year when the founding of the country was founded, this is not counting the taxes of domestic merchants, the summer and autumn taxes plus the taxes and fees of the highway are much more, and the money of the sixteen is just a drop in the bucket.

"Oh? In that case, the accounts of the three divisions are all sorted out and sent to my imperial study! ”

Zhao Zhen's words made Ding Wei extremely embarrassed, he just felt that the subsidies for the government soldiers were too much, but he didn't expect the official family to block his retreat at once, so he could only say helplessly: "The use of the government soldiers, the third division can still barely take it out......"

Chao Chinese Wu listened to his words, this Ding Wei is now really worthy of the name of the iron rooster, the officials go to the three divisions to get the degree to be taught by him, and now the official family has decreed, he also wants to touch the egg with the stone.

The sixteen guards of the government military system are actually not very difficult, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been sixteen guards of sanitation. That is, the sanitation officer, however, the "Sixteen Guards" of the Great Song Dynasty is just a fictitious title. They are not functional organs, but only have several honorary official positions such as "generals, generals, and generals", and have no functions, no powers, no subordinate soldiers, and no quotas.

Zhao Zhen wants to reopen the sixteen digits can use these original fictitious titles to transfer him to real power, and the sixteen have a total of eight names, and each guard is divided into two guards, left and right, which is to weaken the general's control over the soldiers of the guard. Left and right guards, Jin Wu guards, left and right Xiao guards, left and right military guards, left and right Wei Wei, left and right leading guards, left and right Qianniu guards, left and right prison guards.

Zhao Zhen's method was very ingenious, and the stations of these guards were set up in various places in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, cultivating the tuntian when the farm was busy, and being responsible for training when the farm was slack, and the military resources and weapons allocated by the imperial court were all kept in a unified manner, and every weapon and armor was recorded in the record, and any loss was severely punished according to law.

Moreover, these sixteen soldiers must have family members to follow them in the station, so that the imperial court can completely control the sixteen, after all, the monk can't run the temple......

Everything was specially set up for Zhao Zhen to directly control the Sixteen Guards, and these sixteen were also regarded as a powerful armed force of the central government at the local level, and they could be used at any time through a huge network of highways.

In this way, the number of battleable soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty has made a qualitative leap, not only the elite central forbidden army, but also the outbreak of large-scale war, the trained soldiers that can be drawn out of the Sixteen Guards are at least 300,000, and they are all armed to the teeth and fully armed!

The support of the nearby state capitals, the suppression of bandits, and the suppression of rebellions were completely left to the sixteen, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity to train them.

The appearance of the Sixteen Guards undoubtedly also solved the problem of too many generals in the Great Song Dynasty, and the generals who came out of the Military Academy had a place to go, which was also mixed with the titles of some relatives, and the old Zhao family was not worried about the martial arts, and the relatives were also more guarded, and the sixteen also had the titles of relatives.

one of the generals, from the second rank; One general each, three products; Two generals each, from the third grade. The palace is forbidden to stay in the guards, and all the five mansions and the outer mansions are all under control.

One person for each of the long histories, from the six grades. In charge of judging the Cao, Wufu, and Waifu Yulu, the number of soldiers and legions, the number of equipment, carriages and horses, and the number of small things have to be specialized.

There is one person in the military department and one person in the military, and he is on the eighth grade. Palm Zhu Cao and the five mansions, foreign affairs, sentence copying, printed to paper and pen.

Cang Cao participated in the military two people each, and he was under the eighth grade. He is in charge of the civil official examinations of the five prefectures, the presumptions, the Lu Feng, the public office, the pastoral, the food, the medicine, and the passing office.

Che Du Lieutenant, in charge of the deputy car. There is a name but no one, and the big furnishings are its official photos. There is no fixed number of captains of horses, and they are all from the fifth grade.

There are two people in each rank, and they are on the sixth grade; There are three people in each waiting, and they are under the seventh grade; There are five Si Ge each, and they are under the eighth grade; There are five halberds each, and they are under the ninth grade; Twenty-five people on each length, from the bottom of the ninth grade. In the second year of the martial arts, he was placed in the rank of the guard, the middle candidate, the Si Ge, and the halberd, which was called the four-color official.

The importance of the Sixteen Guards to the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be another channel for hiding soldiers from the people, and hundreds of thousands of troops also adopt the service mechanism to ensure the youthfulness and combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

In addition to Zhao Zhen's personal guards and backs, it is difficult to see the recruited forbidden army in the current Great Song Dynasty, and even the original four guards of the Son of Heaven are all conscripts.

The difference between conscription and conscription is like the difference between professional soldiers and compulsory soldiers in later generations, and the recruitment of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty was more prosperous, basically participated in real battles and killed people, and had extremely rich battlefield experience and survival instincts.

The advantage of the Sixteen Guards is that it can add a fairly strong military force to the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen asked the military attache captain of the Guards Division to personally lead his subordinates to train the recruits of the Sixteen Guards, and be sure to train the Sixteen Guards into troops that will not lose to the forbidden army.

Just after Zhao Zhen finished training the veterans of the Pro-Health Division, Sancai rushed into the guard of the Pro-Health Division with a big red cylinder, and raised the cylinder in his hand on his knees: "My Emperor Tianwei, what the soldiers are pointing at is invincible!" Peng Qi came to report, a great victory in the South China Sea! ”

The three hundred soldiers who were about to go to the state capitals to train the Sixteen Guards showed a natural smile and congratulated in unison: "My emperor is mighty! ”

Zhao Zhen took the red cylinder, picked up the wax seal, and it was Peng Qi's handwritten report, the entire territory of Mayi was taken, and the army rushed to the Strait of Malacca, if everything went well, it was only a matter of time to take the local natives.

Zhao Zhen laughed: "Sure enough, my Great Song Bingfeng is invincible!" ”

It seems that he can expand the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to the entire Indonesian archipelago on the map tonight, and the main purpose of Zhao Zhen to take the Indonesian Peninsula is not only to control the Strait of Malacca, but also to make it a springboard for preparing for entering Australia in the future.

Once Australia is captured, the land of the Great Song Dynasty will be doubled, and more importantly, the pastures there will be fertile and animal husbandry will be very developed. How many cattle, sheep and horses do you need? As long as there is the Indonesian Peninsula as a transit point, the needs of the Great Song Dynasty will be sent in a steady stream.
