Chapter 219: Three Things About Militarism (2)

As soon as Liu Huiniang's voice fell, some people showed a wry smile on their faces, and some people were faintly excited.

The Great Song Dynasty began to be martial! The identity and status of the generals will inevitably rise, and the status of civil officials will decline.

And Zhao Huan didn't call Zhao Ding, Li Guang, Xu Churen, Zhang Xiaochun and others today, in addition to not having enough trust in them, it also proves that he doesn't want to hear objections.

But after Li Gang, Wen Huanzhang and the others glanced at the people present, they did not speak.

This matter itself is to let them be the courtiers to contain each other, and it must be done by Zhao Huanqian. Moreover, judging from the people present today, Zhao Huan obviously knows this matter well, and there is a good chance that he will only inform them today.

Sure enough, Zhao Huan saw that they were silent, and he didn't name them, so he said directly:

"I know what you're thinking, but I just think I'm trying to keep you in check with each other, in case any of you don't become a powerful minister. But what I want to say is that you still want to be bad, because I not only want you to supervise each other and put an end to the possibility of anyone being corrupt and arbitrary, but also want you to promote each other and better work for the well-being of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Throughout the ages, you must all know very well what the consequences of the courtiers in the court restraining each other. That is not only party strife and mutual pressure, but also will lead to chaos in the world, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are useless! So it's easy to let you contain each other, but it's very troublesome to let you promote each other and devote yourself to national affairs. ”

"So I wouldn't have dared to leave Tokyo without you. You are my most trusted courtiers, and after I leave Tokyo, you will not only take care of your own affairs, but also control other people, so that they will not slack off, so that I can rest assured. ”

Zhao Huan glanced at both sides and said, "Lord Li Gang is also responsible for supervising the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Taxation and the Ministry of Households. It is necessary to pay attention to the assessment of officials, this kind of assessment is not only to assess whether the officials are capable, but more importantly, to assess whether the officials are conscientious and conscientious, so the burden on your side is the heaviest. ”

Li Gang stood up, bowed deeply, and sat down again.

Zhao Huan made his goal very clear, and his trust in him was also very clear, and he now knew what he should do very clearly.

"Lord Wen Huanzhang mainly supervises the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Engineering, and is also in charge of the Imperial History Observatory and the School Department, with Song Jiang and Pei Xuan as your deputies. Since the ordnance supervision was merged into the Ministry of Industry, the development has been good, but there will be some adjustments on the firearms side, which will be highlighted in the third topic. ”

"Also, Song Jiang is mainly responsible for the guidance of the official school and the army. If the Military Command Department and the Imperial Historical Observatory control the hands and feet of the ministers of civil and military affairs, then what you control is their minds. The goal of your side is very simple, that is, to make all civil and military officials think and say the same as the court; But it's not easy to do, and it's so important, so your position is very important. ”

Wen Huanzhang and Song Jiang also bowed and sat down again, without speaking. For Zhao Huan, they don't need to pat their chests to guarantee anything, as long as they firmly remember Zhao Huan's words.

"The imperial merchant and the coinage are officially handed over to Li Ying, and the Ministry of Commerce of the imperial court will fully cooperate with you instead of supervising you...... Li Ying, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty and the money bags of the imperial court have all been handed over to you, and from now on, you will not just be a big shopkeeper who only stares at thousands of shops, but you must look at the whole world. Your goal is mainly threefold: the first is to let the people of the Great Song Dynasty have food and clothing, which is the most basic; On top of this is the second goal, that is, to make the Great Song court no longer rely on taxes for support; And your ultimate goal is to make the Great Song Dynasty no longer appear in particularly rich and poor states and counties, and only when the world is rich and poor can it truly be peaceful for a long time, otherwise those who are particularly rich and those who are particularly short of money will find ways to find trouble with the court. ”

"The minister will go all out and live up to his mission!" Li Ying bowed.

Zhao Huan looked at Li Zhu again: "Senior brother, the internal division of the Military Command Department, the arrest matters in the Great Song Dynasty, and the national soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty will all be handed over to Senior Brother!" ”

Li Zhu nodded, and only said two words: "Don't worry!" ”

Zhao Huan said again: "The guards inside and outside Tokyo are all handed over to Yang Cunzhong!" If something difficult to decide occurs in the future, no matter how big it is, Li Gang, Wen Huanzhang, Li Zhu, Liu Qi, Yang Cunzhong, Pu Wenying, Song Jiang, Li Ying, and Chai Jin, a total of nine people, will make a decision together. ”

The nine of them were all in their hearts, knowing that Zhao Huan was treating them as ministers who took care of their lives, in other words, the entire rear of the Great Song Dynasty was handed over to the nine of them. In particular, the words "no matter how big they are" give them supreme rights; Take 10,000 steps back and say, in case something happens to Zhao Huan one day, the nine people have the right to elect the next Great Song Tianzi according to this appointment.

This time they did not clench their fists or bow, but knelt down and saluted in a proper manner.

Zhao Huan waved his hand, and Fang Baihua took out three boxes from the side.

"A few months ago, I had a few heirloom weapons, the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd, the Wind Thunder Earthquake Heavenly Bow, the Chengying Sword, the Longquan Sword, the Chixiao Sword, the Tai'a Sword, and the Poison Dagger Cold Moon Blade. The Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd was given to Xu Guanzhong, the Chengying Sword was given to Wen Huanzhang, and the Longquan Sword was given to Li Gang. ”

"The Chixiao Sword is the sword of the emperor; Li Zhu is the head of the country, supervising the world for me, and I give it to him with the Chixiao Sword! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The minister must be worthy of this sword! ”

Li Zhu looked at this heirloom sword excitedly, and his eyes were filled with mist.

Zhao Huan said again: "Tai'a Jian inherits the weight of the country, and there is a long way to go; Xiao Jiasui is the overseas commander of the Great Song Dynasty, not only carrying the expectations of me and the people, but also promoting the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, and I will give it with the Ether Sword! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The ministers will not dishonor the holy order! ”

Xiao Jiasui also solemnly took the Tai'a sword.

Zhao Huan continued: "The Poison Dagger Cold Moon Blade is an unyielding blade, even if it is an enemy of ten thousand, it would rather die without fear; The countryman Chen hoop bucket, went to other countries and foreign lands, endured humiliation and burden, I gave it with this blade! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will slay the enemy chief with this sword! ”

Chen hoop bucket bowed loudly.

Each of the seven great heirloom gods has its own master, and although the rest of them are envious, they are not jealous even of the truth where the divine grace is and where the mission is.

Zhao Huan nodded to Liu Huiniang, Liu Huiniang understood, and said, "The second topic is over, now let's start the third topic." There is a saying in the art of war, soldiers are expensive but not expensive, and I have 120 million people in the Great Song Dynasty (that is, 120 million, 100 million in ancient times refers to 100,000, so 100 million is 10,000 in ancient times), but there are too few elite soldiers, and it is not a year or two to train, and the Great Song Dynasty is facing foreign invasion at any time. So Your Majesty means to choose the best of the best, and to gather all the soldiers who can fight together......"
