In fact, it is not that no one has questioned the New Army of the East China Sea, and the biggest opposition is not in the court, but in the Qinglong Garden.

Yan Shu, Yan Daguan actually has a negative and skeptical attitude towards the new army in the East China Sea, he believes that the number of people is king, spend the same amount of money to build an army, if the number of people cannot be increased, no matter how good the equipment and tactics are, it is difficult to win the opponent.

Another point is the problem of loyalty, when an army is elite to other units beyond the reach of other troops, they will inevitably produce all kinds of restless emotions, and from Song Beiyun's point of view, a force like the East China Sea New Army can not easily change the main general.

So when there is a rebellion in this elite, how to put down the rebellion? Assuming that they really have supreme combat power, then once they have a problem, who will be able to solve it?

Of course, this kind of disagreement will exist, and it is also very likely to happen, and it is a good thing that there are different voices in the Qinglong Garden, because the questions raised after careful consideration are actually very representative and constructive.

Therefore, Xiao Song also gave a systematic sorting and explanation to the questions raised by Yan Shu. The first is why you don't have to build a larger elite army for the same amount of money.

Xiao Song's answer to this is actually very simple, the larger the team, the less money will be allocated to everyone, so in the end, at best, it will be a leather room army in the Great Song Dynasty. This is meaningless, and it is not necessarily stronger than the Liao State's Leather Room Army, not to mention the heavy cavalry that is gradually taking shape on the steppe and the rapid reaction light cavalry of the Jin State.

Therefore, the new army in the East China Sea is only a pilot project, and it is necessary for them to be expensive now, because when the technology matures, the problem of the price of equipment can be solved, and then the expansion of the army will have a solid and powerful technical reserve and talent reserve.

In addition to the East China Sea New Army, there are also the Bohai New Army and the South China Sea New Army, and the main combat mission of the three new armies in the future is not on land but at sea, and when the development of naval aviation technology reaches a certain stage, these three new armies will become the navy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the Great Song Dynasty itself has a naval division, the scope of tasks of the navy and the naval division is completely different, and the enemies they face will be completely different, so the first to develop must be the navy.

After the navy, there will be four new army formations, which correspond to the garrison divisions in the north, and their main responsibility is to fortify the land and defend the city. This unit will become the strongest shield of the Great Song Dynasty, firmly holding along the Great Wall, defending against all foreign enemies.

After that, there were also multi-purpose internal guard forces corresponding to the southern threat, and their main responsibility was to attack the southern countries, and they were the arrows of the Great Song Dynasty by means of earthwork, demolition, and long-range bombing. The last two are cavalry killer units designed specifically for cavalry? One is used to fight against the cavalry of the steppe and the Jin country? One was used against the Coloreye cavalry.

The two armies will formulate different countermeasures according to the different terrain, combat methods and characteristics of each country, and they are the sharpest spears of the Great Song Dynasty.

What if these seven units were to be built at the same time? Then there will be such a passage recorded in the future history books: "The country is eternal and perished with weakness? Only the Han and Song dynasties died by force", and the reckless use of military force will completely drag down the country's economy.

So at this stage, a new army in the East China Sea is almost fine? After the completion of the major project of the economic construction of the Song Kingdom, the king of the Great Song Dynasty, Qihai Wu, as long as A passes, no one will be able to withstand it.

As for the question of loyalty? Xiao Song actually didn't expect it at first? It was really reminded by Yan Shu, so the political commissar system came into being, most of these political commissars were selected from the children of the family, and those who had Shi disciples, pioneers and Yushitai people in the family were given priority.

These people will study for a long time first? And all have to be readers? They are knowledgeable and well-versed, and in the process of learning, they have established a concept of attaching equal importance to the country and the family, so as to fill their loyalty.

After the assessment is over, these people called political commissars will be put into the troops at all levels, and their role in the barracks is very large, but not very powerful? They can't mobilize their forces, but they are at the same rank as the current commanders of the army? All the housekeeping, supervision, and other duties are performed by these people, and the commander is only responsible for fighting and daily training. And this group does a regular rotation? Generally, this period is three months, depending on the situation in wartime.

Of course? Is there another special place here? Is it that Song Beiyun gave Zhao Xuan a complete analysis of the emperor's functions in the Qinglong Garden? Zhao Xing also listened. Now Zhao Xing is exercising his rights according to the content of the functional report, and the general small matters are solved by the cabinet itself, and the major matters can only be implemented after the cabinet and the emperor jointly deliberate and approve. As for what is a big deal, the functional report also gives a clear classification.

The first is warfare at all levels, as long as it is a war, the emperor needs to participate. The second is various disasters, including but not limited to man-made disasters and natural disasters, which also require the emperor's involvement. The remaining bits and pieces, such as certain accidents and special cases, also have a clear division of the emperor's functions.

For example, if there is a homicide case in a place, if the death toll exceeds 30, the emperor must personally supervise and approve the case, which can minimize the existence of unjust, false and wrongful convictions. Another example is that when the granary of a certain place is calculated, the lack of less than 15,000 catties will be disposed of by the governor of the state, and if it exceeds 15,000 to 100,000 catties, it will be handled by the cabinet, and if it exceeds 100,000 catties, it must be paid attention to by the emperor.

The greatest power of the emperor is about the appointment and dismissal of the cabinet, reciprocal diplomacy and army building, especially army building, within three years will gradually bring the military power in the hands of generals at all levels to the central government, and in the future, only the emperor himself can exercise the power of dispatch, and there will be no more authorization system.

This series of recommendations has been read by the cabinet and said that it is good, and the recommendations have become a common practice. And the emergence of this cabinet system to a certain extent, it seems that Zhao Xing is busy, but in fact, he now has more time to drink flower wine...... And while he drank the flower wine, the cabinet also needed to tremble.

No one knows who made this system, so the historian wrote it all down on Zhao Xing's head, and now Zhao Xing is no longer the little emperor who is controlled by others, but a generation of heroes who are as ambitious as Han Wu in the reading population center.

This made Zhao Xing a little inexplicable......

And in the past few days, in addition to what happened to Song Beiyun's new army in the East China Sea, it was probably even if Zhao Xuan suddenly received an application form for Qinglong Yuan, the applicant was none other than Lao Ding, the first judge of the Great Song Dynasty, seeing the personal information he carefully filled in on the application form, Zhao Xuan felt a little big, but he still dared to allow Lao Ding's application for admission to the garden.

Later, Lao Ding also asked his niece and son-in-law to write an application by the way, and his niece and son-in-law, as a disciple of the Shi family's boss, were also allowed to enter the Qinglong Garden to study......

Lao Ding did this, Zhao Xiang was definitely not convinced, although the old man has recovered a lot now, his body still can't move freely, he still needs someone to push and walk, and his speech is vague. But because there was nothing to do every day, he went to ponder people, so when he knew what Lao Ding did, he immediately pushed his disciples into the Qinglong Garden, so Yan Shu and Kuang Yusheng became Zhao Xiang's people and joined the Qinglong Garden.

When Zhao Xuan saw this, he knew that the guy would definitely point at his nose and scold him when he came back, but ...... He really didn't have any clever methods, so he had to tell Lao Ding euphemistically that there were no factions in Qinglong Garden, and everyone was an ordinary student......

The loyalty of the team is actually largely based on the emperor, and today's cabinet system is actually equivalent to adding a cage to the emperor's power, and at the same time, the imperial power also hangs a chastity lock on the cabinet.

All of this is related to the loyalty of the soldiers at the bottom, so there is absolutely no problem with the loyalty of the new army, because even Song Beiyun only has the right to review and not the right to dispatch, and the soldiers under his command don't eat his food, so why should they give him their lives?

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Song returned to the mansion in Xiangyang City after inspecting the New Army of the East China Sea, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zuo Rou piling sand on the ground.

"It's boring, so I want to use the yard to make a big sand table." Zuo Rou pointed to the ground: "I'm restoring the terrain according to the map, if I really want to fight Chang'an, I'll see how many days I can get in with 5,000 people." ”

"Okay, you play." Xiao Song stepped over cautiously: "I dance with knives and guns all day long." ”

"Don't go, don't go." Zuo Rou grabbed Song Beiyun: "Are you worthy of me to fight, you are the Western Xia, and I am the Liao army." ”

"Huh? Why are you Liaojun? ”

Zuo Rou hugged her arms and smiled: "If you don't deduce, how do you know how long it will take for the Liao State to take Chang'an, if you don't know how long it will take them, how can you know how long we have to start in advance?" ”

"You're trying to seize the fruits of your allies' battles, and there will be conflicts." Xiao Song shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Play with me...... Zuo Rou dragged Song Beiyun to death and refused to let go: "You play with me now, and I will sleep with you at night!" ”

Xiao Song was silent for a moment, and then withdrew his hand: "Farewell!" ”

"No!!" Zuo Rou pointed to the sand table on the ground: "I've been tossing for a day......"

The helpless Xiao Song, who was entangled, squatted on the ground: "Come on, come on, play with you." But you also know, I fought in pieces. ”

"Xixia is also broken, more broken than you." Zuo Rou smiled and took a few small self-made flags: "There are 30,000 people stationed in Chang'an City, and 70,000 people in Liao. One banner represents 5,000 men, and you have to resist my attack. ”
