Chen Renweng's worries are actually to the point, and the current Song army is actually in the process of transforming from an armed group in a corner of the past to an armed force of a country. In fact, when the Qiongzhou Marshal's Army was first established, Zhao Yu chose to take geography as the link and blood as the hub of the organizational structure, which was the most effective structure before modern times, which was very suitable for the military establishment of the classical military government and colonial expansion, but the result was often a flash in the pan and then quickly withered, and some promising kings also tried to change this situation.

From the history of the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that the northwestern tribes with nomadic riding and archery skills can defeat the Khitan and Xi people from the northeast in a cavalry duel, and if they face the southern troops without high-quality cavalry, it will be a one-sided slaughter. However, there is a premise here: it is to maintain the vitality of the small community of Han people in Northwest China and the military organization methods, military technology, weapons and equipment imported from the high-military conflict areas of Central Asia.

In order to achieve this goal, Tang Suzong also tried to win over the Hui army, the number one cavalry force in the shareholder region, he once made a promise to let the Hui cavalry plunder the women and wealth of the capital, and later gave the princess to the Hui and relatives, you must know that this is the treatment that the Turks did not have in the past. However, the stupid policies of the early years also paid a price, and the Tang Dynasty never regained its former authority until its demise.

And Zhao Yu also knew that the Qing Dynasty in later generations was the same as the Jin Dynasty, and Nurhachi also wanted to replenish the military resources by absorbing Han people, so during his reign, the Manchus and Han were not isolated. However, by the time of Huang Taiji, the situation had completely changed, because he had the ambition to enter the Central Plains, and the increase in the number of Han people in the territory forced him to take measures to isolate the Manchu and Han. As it turned out, it was indeed prescient, and due to the isolation, the banner people in the city were able to maintain the organizational structure of their hometown in the northeast for a long time.

In addition, the Qing rulers also realized that moving into Guannai meant losing the training of the harsh environment in the northeast, and the Qing Dynasty's countermeasure was to constantly transport Sauron and other ethnic groups from their hometowns in the northeast to "transfuse". However, this is a drop in the bucket after all, the geographical environment of the Northeast is relatively isolated, and there are only two channels for input and output, one Central Plains and one North Asia. As a result, the Northeast region belongs to the "floor" of East Asia, both technically and demographically, and can only be supported by the martial arts honed in the harsh environment.

However, these measures are also relatively effective. After entering the customs, every time the front-line puppet army and the Southern Ming army fought unfavorably, they would invite the "real Manchuria" to press the field, and even in the Kangxi period, the battle with the Jungger people also frequently appeared Eight Banners. Compared with the predecessors of the Jin people, who also came from the White Mountain and Black Water, and quickly degenerated as soon as they arrived in the Huahua World in the Central Plains, their combat effectiveness was relatively maintained for a long time, and they persisted for a hundred years. But when the blood transfusion outside the gate could no longer maintain the military system inside the pass, the Eight Banners armed forces that the Qing Dynasty relied on actually collapsed, and the countdown began.

The same situation also appeared in the Hakka people in the late Qing Dynasty, who were tied by their clan and were incomparably strong in combat. Tens of thousands of "old brothers" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom turned the entire southeast half of the wall upside down, if it weren't for the infighting of the Taiping Army in the later period, and the "old brothers" gradually consumed over time, Zeng Guofan really might not be able to win steadily. It is worth mentioning that the military structure of Zeng Guofan was similar, although the Hunan army was not as capable of fighting as the Hakkas, it was also an army established with clan as a bond, and its combat effectiveness was as good as other Qing Dynasty troops of the same period.

In this way, Zhao Hao also understood that the key to seeing whether a place could fight in ancient wars was whether its community was united enough and how the centripetal force of the regime was. Although the ancient dynasty was able to eliminate the small community with blood relatives and "natural centripetal force" in the territory and establish a large community with its own strength, it was also proved by history to quench thirst and was destined to not last long. In fact, the reason why the Han Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty made such a big toss as "rejecting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" was to inject artificial centripetal force into the huge "national community".

However, in his thinking, Zhao Yu also found that under some special conditions, this model will also change, from a small community based on blood to a large community based on the country, and Qin is such a typical example. Located in the great northwest with a dry climate, the days of the Qin people are obviously not comparable to those of the six countries of the Kwantung region.

However, the survival pressure of the Qin State was much harsher than that of the Jurchens in the Northeast Region, because a large country such as the Wei State had to go to the Qin State from time to time to fight a wave of autumn winds. Moreover, the kings of Qin in the past dynasties were not the lords of peace, and from time to time they had to go to war with their neighbors to the east. Under strong military pressure, the Qin State adopted a change of law, and wiped out the small clan communities within its borders, integrating all its resources into one large community. This model gained tremendous power in a very short period of time, and the Qin Dynasty relied on this power to wipe out the six Kwantung kingdoms in a very short period of time.

However, the shortcomings of this model are also very obvious, that is, the people in the original small community lack the most basic sense of identity, not to mention the conquered six Kwantung countries, even the Qin Dynasty's hometown does not agree with its own regime. When Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, there were not many so-called "old Qin people" who spontaneously resisted Liu Bang, a Chu man, but after the "Three Chapters of the Law", they wished that Liu Bang would stay in Qin and be king. In the later Chu-Han War, the Qin people were also the least existent, and even the Qi State, which was founded on commerce, seemed to be more able to fight than the Qin people.

The reason is also very simple, because the laws of the Qin Dynasty were too strict, and more than three people would be questioned if they "drank for no reason". Determined to build the entire country into a war machine, and turn every citizen into a part of the machine, except for the King of Qin himself, who is the person who controls the machine, the rest of the people can't even be counted as people, even if the courtiers write to themselves, they have to call themselves "to be punished". When the army built by the whole country was wiped out in the battles of Julu and others, the machine of the Qin State was like running out of oil, and it could no longer exert any strength......

"At present, if we want to maintain the combat effectiveness of our army, we must carry out further reform of the military system and integrate small groups from different regions into a large community, so that the upper and lower levels of the army will be integrated and the combat effectiveness will not decline because of regional differences." Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"How can we integrate, and how can we break the current system?" Chen Renweng frowned, obviously unable to fully understand the meaning of the little emperor's words.

"This is not something that can be done in a few words, but it is necessary to integrate and change in many aspects, but it mainly depends on strict military discipline, a good promotion system, and a class system in the army!" Zhao Yu drank another glass of wine and said that he knew that in order to break the military system with blood clans as the link, and to ensure that the combat effectiveness did not decline, he could only adopt the military system that maintained modern times through military discipline, military rank system, promotion system, etc.

"Your Majesty......"

"Linzhou, Your Majesty is a guest at home, and state affairs can be discussed later!" Chen Renweng wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Chen Zeweng, pointing to the new dishes and saying to the emperor, "Your Majesty, try these dishes, they won't taste good when they're cold." ”

"Okay, let's have a drink first!" Zhao Yu saw that someone had removed the dishes from the table, and served four new dishes, which were indeed quail soup, mandarin duck fried belly, pangasius and shrimp hooves. And in ancient and modern times, when a new dish is served, you have to drink a glass of wine first, he raised his glass and invited.

"Your Majesty, please!" Chen Zeweng and the others also hurriedly raised their glasses.

"Your Majesty, this quail soup is good, don't just drink!" Wang De served a bowl of soup for the little emperor and persuaded him.

"The home chef in the house is not as good as the imperial chef in the palace, and the craftsmanship is rude, but this sand fish is really good, Your Majesty try it!" Chen Zeweng also picked up another pair of chopsticks, sandwiched a piece for the little emperor and put it on the plate.

"Well, this soup is also good, it tastes a little!" Zhao Yu took a sip of soup first. In fact, the so-called quail eggs are quail eggs, which are egg custards, but they are not simple egg custards, and some contemporaneous ingredients are added to them, but he only eats ham and sea rice, and he drinks several glasses of wine in a row, which is just enough to suppress the wine.

"The skills of the home chef in Fuzhong must be good, but this knife work is extraordinary!" The fish slices are the sashimi of later generations, and the master can cut the fish meat into very thin slices with a knife, and Zhao Yu picked up the fish slices with a chopstick and saw that the fish slices were as thin as paper, and the faces on the opposite side could be seen when they looked at it, as if they were transparent. Then I dipped some sauce and put it in my mouth.

"Since Your Majesty is not too coarse, let's eat more!" Chen Renweng listened to the praise, and saw that the little emperor ate with relish, so he persuaded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there are still a few specialty dishes in the future, Your Majesty will also try them!" The emperor was happy to eat, and Chen Zeweng was naturally happy, and he also persuaded him.

"Is it the same with ordinary family dinners? It was only added because I came! Zhao Yu listened to it, but put down the chopsticks and asked.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, there are many people in the family, so naturally you have to do more, and you have not added anything else because Your Majesty came!" Chen Zeweng was stunned at first when he heard the little emperor ask, but soon realized His Majesty's meaning and hurriedly explained.

"Oh, is that true?" Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this.

"Brother, don't deceive, your majesty can't see it!" Chen Renweng saw that the little emperor looked disbelieving, so he couldn't hide it, so he simply admitted it, and then said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be careful, ordinary people come to guests, and they will cook a few more dishes to entertain guests, besides, Your Majesty's status is precious, and it is the first time to come to the mansion as a guest, so it is normal for people to prepare a few more dishes!" ”

"Well, this is indeed reasonable, and besides, I am also the son-in-law of the Chen family, and I should be treated well for the first time, but I don't have to spend too much, otherwise how dare I come to the door again in the future!" Zhao Yu listened to his father-in-law's words, and felt that he was too sensitive, and said with a smile.

"What Your Majesty said is that the minister is ashamed, but it is not so extravagant in the house on weekdays!" Chen Zeweng said with a smile when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, on weekdays, my father often teaches us to be frugal and run the house, so that the children in the family are looking forward to the festival, so that we can satisfy our hunger, so I will prepare more today!" Chen Changshi also explained.

"In that case, let's all eat more, and don't let down the food and waste money!" When it came to this, Zhao Yu didn't want to be too harsh, so he picked up the chopsticks again and smiled.

"What Your Majesty said is very true!" Seeing that the little emperor had resumed eating, Chen Zeweng also picked up the chopsticks and motioned for everyone to join him. But he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, if he didn't eat everything on the table in his stomach today, I was afraid that it would be difficult for His Majesty to believe it.

A few people carried forward the spirit of 'disc' and ate it violently under the drive of the little emperor. But Chen Changshi was secretly glad that he listened to his uncle's words, otherwise if he really got some delicacies from the mountains and seas, the misunderstanding would be deeper. But looking at the dishes on the table, although the amount has been reduced, it is not a lot, and if you eat it like this, you are afraid that you will not be able to hold it to death, and you will have to exercise more. Now it's hard to ride a tiger, and I can only try my best to stuff the food on the plate into my mouth, and I don't stop until the plate bottoms out.

"I have just thought about His Majesty's words, as early as the place where the army was built, His Majesty strictly enforced military law, and then vigorously promoted military reform, implemented the separation of military and political affairs, strengthened the power of the military department, and implemented the merger of the civil and military official system, which is for the sake of today!" Chen Renweng rubbed his stomach and poured tea for his son-in-law, who was still drinking soup.

"Well, exactly!" Zhao Yu nodded, and did not deny it, "Since the beginning of Taizu's release of military power, our dynasty has implemented the policy of governing military power with culture, so as not to repeat the repetition of the previous dynasty's martial arts. Although this avoided the scourge of separating the feudal towns, it also caused a decline in military strength, and in three hundred years, there were fewer victories and more defeats, and they had to pay tribute to the barbarians in exchange for peace, and they had to bear the shame of Jingkang and the hatred of losing the country. ”

"Your Majesty is dedicated to the revival of our dynasty, and if you want to revive the heroic style of the Great Song Dynasty, you want to be the law of the ancestors!" Chen Zeweng said.

"Yes, but Taizu's implementation of the rule of law and martial arts is not useless, and it also has extremely practical significance!" Zhao Yu nodded again.

"Changshi, Lishi, you go to the kitchen to have a look, and urge it!" Chen Zeweng listened to what the little emperor said about the major affairs of the country, and seemed to be drunk, worried about saying some sensitive topics that were 'not suitable for children', so he made a look for his nephew to avoid it, so as not to cause disaster if it was leaked.

"Yes, Father!" Chen Changshi has been in the officialdom for many years, and immediately understood what his father meant, Lala was still stunned by his brother who didn't know what to do, and hurriedly withdrew, thinking that when he avoided it, he also hurried to the kitchen to say that the amount of dishes would be reduced again, so as not to make the emperor come out of the way.

"Taizu cast a spell because of the time, curbing the expansion of the power of the warriors, so that the scholars were able to occupy the court, although the warriors were avoided from causing trouble, there was a suspicion of overkill, but now it cannot be forgotten." Zhao Hao smiled and took a sip of tea and continued, "The beginning of the martial arts is often to control the military power, vigorously promote the use of clan relatives and townsmen, and form a group of cronies, and the fall of our dynasty is also not unrelated to the rebellion of the Lu clan. For this reason, it is also imperative to break up the small community in the military and form a large community......"
