Chapter 469: The Art of War
Zhao Zhen stood on a small mound, in front of which was the military camp with stone gates, Peng Qiru's eyes looked around, and Sancai kept persuading: "Official, let's go back to the palace?!" ”
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes helplessly, Sancai had already said countless times along the way, and he didn't stop when he arrived at Shimenpu, was it easy for him to get out of Tokyo City? How can you go back easily?
With a roll of his eyes, he threatened, "If you say anything more, I'll kick you back to Tokyo City!" ”
Sancai immediately shut up, joking, and followed the side of the official family to be afraid, if he returned to Tokyo City alone, the one in the middle palace would definitely tear himself to pieces......
At first, he didn't know that the official family was going to follow the army out of the city, but he simply thought that the official family was checking the equipment of this military exercise, but when he saw the official family in civilian clothes turn over and get on the horse, he completely collapsed.
The king of a country, the official family is the king of a country!
How can you follow the army to participate in military exercises so casually? In Sancai's opinion, even if there are 10,000 reasons, it is not enough, the safety of the emperor is the most important thing at the earliest, where is the safest? Naturally, it's Tokyo City!
At the moment when Zhao Zhen straddled the horse, Sancai fell to his knees and begged bitterly, but no matter how he pleaded, Zhao Zhen had already secretly discussed with the ministers of the two governments, in order to see the military exercise with his own eyes.
The ministers of the two provinces disagreed, Zhao Zhen is more important to them than anything else, anyone can have an accident, but Zhao Zhen can't, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will lose not only an emperor but also a future.
Under the rule of Zhao Zhen, the Great Song Dynasty entered an unprecedented prosperous era, with the development of agriculture and commerce surpassing that of any other dynasty, and the people lived in peace, the treasury was full, the armaments were perfect, and the weapons were excellent.
All the self-confidence and development of the Great Song Dynasty are inseparable from the official family, but Zhao Zhen is the king of a country, and he has the right to decide what he does, even if he is the prince of the two provinces, he can't stop it.
Everyone is not stupid, who can't see that this official pro-military tour is to prepare for the royal conquest......
The ministers of the two governments can only accept this fact, because in their minds, everything has to make way for the recovery of the smoke clouds, Zhao Zhen successfully persuaded them, there is no way, even if they don't agree, the official family must be in person, instead of a black eye, it is better to let the official family familiarize themselves with their own army first.
This matter has been hidden from everyone, except for the ministers of the two mansions, even the queen of the middle palace Wang Yuyan and the concubine Yang Caiwei don't know, let alone Vera, who is a virtuous concubine.
Sancai could only order the chamberlain around him to tell the queen after the army left Tokyo City for ten miles, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of anger the chamberlain would bear from the harem.
Where did Zhao Zhen understand Sancai's thoughts at this time, the army had arrived at Shimenpu as scheduled, and what he saw at this time was a spectacular military camp, countless elite soldiers who obeyed his command, and peerless fierce generals.
This military exercise is different from the past, this time there are not only the central forbidden troops from the city of Tokyo, but also countless local forbidden troops from other military states.
The state apparatus of the Great Song Dynasty was running frantically during this military exercise, and all kinds of war-ready resources were constantly gathered here through the cement highway, which was fast and efficient, and solved the biggest problem in the use of troops in this era, logistical support.
The real simulation of the exercise is not only the battle, but also the logistics.
As a supervising army, Xia Zhu is busy like a never-ending spinning top, all kinds of armaments and grain and grass are arranged by him in an orderly manner, and the military camp of the 200,000 army is full of people eating and chewing every day, if there is no Xia Zhu, Zhao Zhen is really worried that the 200,000 army will be defeated.
At the beginning, Zhao Zhen always thought that fighting a war was a fairly simple thing, as long as he had powerful weapons and brave soldiers, he would definitely win the war, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
Truckloads of compressed military rations were transported to the barracks, and military horses were driven to special places, these were not simple errands, and the overall planning involved was not something that ordinary people could handle.
It is undoubtedly a lucky thing to have Xia Zhu busy with all this, he not only has to ensure logistics supply, but even has to be in charge of military law, the camp of 200,000 people is completely comparable to the scale of Jingzhao Mansion, friction, oral sex constantly, only through the restraint of military law can make this place stable.
The battle that the Great Song Dynasty was best at was a dignified battle rather than a surprise attack, and the best way to deal with the enemy was to march in a large army.
This requirement for a commander has reached an unprecedented height, and Zhao Zhen found that except for Di Qing, it was almost difficult for others to be competent.
The military exercise began, this time with Shimenpu as the military camp and Huatazipu as the enemy's territory for a large-scale breakthrough, all the soldiers and all the commanders had to be put into this battlefield, including the budding back army and the white army.
Under the command of Di Qing, the 200,000 army has become a random wax to play with, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, and changing in a way.
The two wings rushed forward, the Chinese army pulled out, the locusts were shooting, the spears were like forests, the shields were like walls, the huge Mo knives, and the shining plate armor all revealed the strong combat power of this army.
Xia Zhu stood behind Zhao Zhen and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, please see, under the command of Di Qing, the 200,000 army is as fast as the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like a yin, it is like a thunderstorm, it can be said that it has entered the realm!" ”
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, it is true, controlling the military exercise of 200,000 people to such a perfect degree can indeed be regarded as the art of war, and the military command talent of this master of art can be described as unprecedented.
"Di Qing's talent can be a privy envoy. But I don't plan to let him take over this empty title, Xia Xianggong, I plan to change the bloated yamen of the imperial court, put the yamen in charge of military affairs together, and put the yamen in charge of political affairs together. Of course, the yamen in charge of financial planning is also put together. ”
Xia Zhu was slightly startled, frowned and thought for a long time and whispered: "Does the official mean to abolish the two mansions and the three divisions?" ”
Zhao Zhen glanced at Xia Zhu and sneered: "The two governments and three divisions have been abolished, how can I manage the Great Song Dynasty?" Even if I deal with political affairs day and night, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it well because I am tired to death. I intend to reorganize the powers from the central to the local authorities in order to better manage the Great Song Dynasty, and the division of powers must be clear and not chaotic.
Looking at the official offices of the state capitals and even the city of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty, there are many redundant and unbearable places, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the officials' office, and when the army returns to the city of Tokyo this time, I will start reforming, and I will just say hello to you in advance. ”
The tension in Xia Zhu's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, the official family just wanted to change the system of the official government, and he thought that the official family was going to abolish the two governments and the three divisions!
Of course, this kind of thing of commanding the army will not be done by Zhao Zhen himself, he only needs to work out a detailed march plan with Di Qing, Yang Huaiyu and others, and leave everything else to them to implement, the emperor is far-sighted, but there is no need to step forward in person, the real royal drive is just to sit firmly in the Chinese army to give the army confidence and courage.
Otherwise, the emperor would take the lead, and it would be too late for the forbidden army under his command to protect him, so how could he have the strength to fight the enemy army?
Therefore, Zhao Zhen came to the military patrol this time to conduct on-the-spot inspections and set a march route with a group of generals.
