After some discussion, the issue of the new coin gradually became apparent, of course, there was still a lot of work to be done, and there were inevitably various situations in between, but the project was finally launched.

Zhao Yu instructed that the main work at present is to design a pattern coin, which is divided into six denominations: 50 Wen, 100 Wen, Consistent, 5 Guan, 10 Guan and 50 Guan, which is also taking into account the current people's habits of using money and the needs of business activities, while copper coins are still in units of one Wen. Considering that the currency will be in circulation for a long time, the three agreed to name it after 'Great Song Tongbao', instead of the previous way of naming it by the name of the year, implying that the Great Song Dynasty will live forever in the world.

On the other hand, Zhao Yu asked the household department to find out the base of the treasury and the details of the accumulated copper coins, gold, silver, and silk silk. Another is to consult the old files, sort out the exchange rate of the currency value and the comparison of gold and silver, and estimate the stock of copper coins in various parts of the Yangtze River, so as to lay the foundation for the next step to determine the exchange rate of new and old coins and the number of new coins printed. These two tasks are the most time-consuming and extremely tedious, but they are also the most basic work, and he has repeatedly asked for excellence and not carelessness.

When the discussion was over, the two of them retired, and it was already past lunch time, and Zhao Yu hurriedly ate his meal. I thought that I had to say hello to Zheng Huchen, and wrote a handwritten letter, asking him to cooperate with the household department to complete the task of manufacturing new currency, and at the same time sort out the currency circulation in the Jiangnan area over the years and the exchange rates of various places and currencies, and summarize and report the latest situation in various places.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Zhao Yu remembered that he was going to send Chen Dun to serve in the martial arts, and no one had taken over the position of commander of the guard battalion. He thought about it for a while, but there was no suitable candidate, you must know that the guard battalion is where the elite of the whole army is gathered, and not everyone can do it. As the last line of defense to protect himself, he did not bother with the formation of the guard battalion, and he was also quite cautious in the selection of commanders.

The original guard battalion was the Marshal's Mansion Guard Battalion, with Ni Liang as the commander, and later with the continuous expansion, it became today's imperial guard, and many old people left and dispersed to various armies with the reorganization again and again. However, the selection criteria for the officers and men of the guard battalion are becoming more and more stringent, and the most basic conditions are the innocence and loyalty of the family background, and secondly, they are skilled in military technology and superior in martial arts.

But these are not enough, you must also have actual combat experience, have served as an officer above the team level, and have a certain cultural foundation to be selected. Therefore, now the soldiers of the guard battalion are not only from the protection army, but the whole army recommends and selects, but only one percent can be selected in the end every year. But even so, it is also the wish of every soldier to be selected for the Imperial Guard Battalion, which is not only an honor, but also better than other armies.

The guard battalion often accompanied the emperor, representing the royal face, and the military uniforms were two sets more than those of other troops, and the food expenses were also provided according to the standards of the commanders. What is even more attractive is that after serving here for two years, most of them will enter the martial arts and return to serve in the army, or be promoted and transferred to other units, and the most perverted thing is that last year a squadron leader was transferred to the third division to directly serve as the commander and command a regiment.

At present, the establishment of the guard battalion is a brigade, equivalent to a reinforced battalion, with three armed squadrons, a support squadron, a reserve squadron, and an internal guard squad, which is called the secret guard internally. After entering the guard camp, no matter how old the soldiers are, they are all new recruits, and they must first practice in the reserve squadron for one year, learn the etiquette of the palace, master the skills and escort tactics of boating, horseback riding, driving, and first aid, and learn the use of various light weapons and heavy weapons.

After coming out of the reserve squadron, don't think that it will be easy, and every year you have to go to the Guardian Cavalry Brigade, Navy and Infantry Army in batches to strengthen training and conduct coordinated exercises. Anyway, after a few years of staying in the guard battalion, he almost became an all-round soldier, no matter which unit he served in, he was competent, and he was also welcomed by all units because of his comprehensive skills. And the secret guard is actually Zhao Yu's personal guard, that is, the often said royal guard with a knife, a group of people who can sacrifice themselves to block the gun for him at any time.

The sources of the internal guards are different from the guards, there are orphans from the old camp, spies from the bureau, internal servants and maids in the palace, and rangers from the rivers and lakes. Of course, their training is also a different system, they first have to be trained by a perverted old monk, become a super Sayan, and then enter the operation team of the bureau to learn the use of various weapons and anti-assassination techniques and intelligence gathering skills, and only after passing many tests can they become a member of the Secret Guard.

Although the dark guard team is under the establishment of the guard battalion, they do not train and live with them, their rhythm of life is almost the same as that of Zhao Yu, as long as he appears, there will be a dark guard, but it is difficult for the outside world to detect. They will also be divided into small groups according to their tasks, and complete protection tasks independently or in conjunction with the guard battalion. Their team is relatively stable, and they will only be replaced when they are physically unable to bear it or when they are old, and most of them go to the bureau or stay in the palace to retire.

It can be seen that it is difficult to lead these arrogant generals without a little ability, Ni Liang, as the first officer, can be said to be the actual founder of this team, and he has been in charge for many years, and no one is dissatisfied. Although Chen Dun's qualifications are almost and a little slippery, he has been mixed with Zhao Yu since he was a child, and his own strength is not weak, plus he has a good brain and skills, and he can manage this team well.

The choice of who to take over Chen Dun made Zhao Yu a little embarrassed, thinking that a few people were either of an inappropriate age, or they did not lose their temper with themselves. The commander of the guard battalion is actually like his own shadow, always following him when he leaves the harem, not only to protect his own safety, but also to act as a 'nanny' to take care of his daily life, take care of his daily life, and even act as a punching bag and playmate. Therefore, it is necessary to have vision, to do things in a principled manner and to have a moderate degree of flexibility. And there are no suitable candidates in the guard camp at the moment.

"Go find Ni Liang, I have something to ask him!" Zhao Yu felt that his circle of friends as the emperor was getting smaller and smaller, and the people he came into contact with were not only the courtiers, but also the guards and chamberlains around him.

"Your Majesty, what is the call!" Martial arts has just started, Ni Liang, as one of the people in charge, naturally has to be busy for a while, and it just so happens that the emperor is also here, so he also eats and lives here, and when he hears the emperor's call, he came after a short time.

"Sit down and drink tea!" Zhao Yu looked at Ni Liang with some dissatisfaction, this kid is still so blind, he didn't see that he was worried, he didn't even have a comfort, he pointed to the seat opposite.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are not thirsty!" Ni Liang picked up the cup and put it down again.

"Good tea!" Zhao Yu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, this guy really hasn't changed at all, and he can't say polite words, which makes him feel that it is wrong to let Chen Dun go.

"Subordinates are not thirsty!"

"I have transferred Chen Dun to the martial arts academy!" Seeing that this kid was still so puzzled, Zhao Hao could only say bluntly.

"The subordinates know that he has begun to familiarize himself with the situation, and he is very energetic!" Ni Liang nodded again.

"Then who do you think will take over as the commander of the guard battalion?" Zhao Yu was speechless, so he could only continue to ask.

"How did Your Majesty ask your subordinates, were they all directly appointed by Your Majesty before? But I can't help it! Ni Liang showed a hint of surprise on his face, and was stunned for a while before speaking.

"Don't worry, even if you want to do it, I won't let you do it!" Zhao Yu was simply stunned, and couldn't help but stand up and point at him and said, "I just asked you to recommend a competent person, where is there so much nonsense!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Ni Liang seemed to have just figured out the situation at this time, and said with a wink of his eyes, "My subordinates think Tan Fei can do it!" ”

"Tan Fei, Tan Fei of the old camp?" Zhao Yu thought about it and asked.

"Exactly!"

"Is this kid okay? I remember that he entered the house with Chen Dun, and when he was a child, he was often sick, and his mother was in the craftsman's bureau, and she always went to the house to ask for medicine. Later, I went to Yashan to select guards from the old camp, but he was unsuccessful because of his poor health, and he refused to leave crying, and finally his mother interceded with me before he was reluctantly selected. Zhao Yu said with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, I'll see it!" Ni Liang said firmly, "Tan Fei's health was not good when he was a child, but that was a long time ago. Although he was physically weak after entering the guard camp, he was very resilient and enterprising, and he was not willing to be left behind in everything. When the new army was formed, he was the first batch to pass the selection and training, and in the new training brigade, he also completed his studies as a detachment leader. ”

"Well, that's the case, after graduating, I remembered that he went to the Marine Brigade, right?" Zhao Yu nodded.

"Yes, Tan flew to the 1st Marine Brigade, first served as the deputy captain of the training team, assisted the 1st Brigade to complete the redressing, and then transferred to the deputy commander of the 2nd Regiment, and later participated in the battle to recover Jiangnan, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the 1st Marine Brigade and the brigade Sima for his merits. These are all edicts signed by His Majesty, don't you remember? I often miss Your Majesty, and every time we meet, I ask me to say goodbye on my behalf. Ni Liang said.

"In this way, Tan Fei is still very capable!" Zhao Yu nodded with a wry smile. I thought that I didn't know how many edicts I signed, how could I remember everything, and looking at Ni Liang's appearance, it seemed that there was still a sense of complaining.

Of course, Tan Fei is not only brave in battle, but also good at strategy, and careful and prudent, with strong organization and coordination skills. In addition, he was born in the old camp, and he has always been grateful to His Majesty, and he has been in the guard camp for many years, so he is familiar with the situation and knows the rules of the palace. Although his fists and feet are poor, there are many masters in the camp, and it is generally not his turn to do it! Ni Liang said.

"Is he married?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Tan Fei is eight years older than His Majesty, and now that His Majesty is married, he can still have a family, and he has two children. And there is still an old mother in the hall! Ni Liang said angrily.

"Okay, then I will send him to the guard camp to take up his post. But if you recommend him, if he is not up to the task, you will be the commander of the guard battalion! Zhao Yu was robbed by Ni Liang again and again, and he couldn't do anything with him, so he could only hate and end the topic......

After two days of deliberation, Jiang Cheng and Zhao Mengjin formulated a battle plan to resist the enemy in Jiangbei according to the little emperor's wishes, and Dong Yicheng's naval army also completed the preparations for sailing and asked for an order. Of course, such military affairs have to be discussed with the deacons, although this kind of kick at the door is a bit like just saying hello, but Zhao Yu thinks it is still very necessary.

War is a continuation of politics, which has been the consensus of modern politicians. Zhao Yu is also very clear about this truth, a war is not only a competition of military strength, but also comprehensive strength, from the preparation of materials, mobilization to the mobilization of reserve forces, not only the army can solve, this requires the assistance of civil servants. And when a war begins, when it ends, and what effect it achieves, also requires politicians to consider it holistically.

Although Zhao Yu is the emperor, he also needs the assistance of his ministers to put the edicts into practice, especially at a time when the imperial court has just experienced a turmoil, he also needs to evaluate, once everyone disagrees, and adopts a non-violent and non-cooperative way to confront, then he can only stop military action. And this time, he had to change the operation to recover Huaixi into a small-scale battle of attacking instead of defending, which was the result of political conditions not allowing. In this assembly, Zhao Yu was not arranged in the palace, but was still studying martial arts, and he did this to facilitate the explanation and persuasion of the generals in unclear places.

The next day, when the rulers came to answer the edict, there was still an accident. Knowing that the Privy Council made Zhang Shijie suddenly fall seriously ill last night and was bedridden, the assembly could only be temporarily suspended. Zhao Yu urgently ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, and ordered Wen Tianxiang to visit. More than an hour later, Wen Tianxiang returned to the decree and said: After being diagnosed and treated by the two imperial doctors, he thought that Zhang Shijie had suffered a stroke, and although he was not worried about his life, he also needed a long time of recuperation, and he was afraid that he would not be able to perform his duties in a short time.

Zhao Yu only had a pain in his head when he heard it, and the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty generally refers to the chief officials of the two provinces and one government, that is, the left and right ministers and the governors, as well as the envoys and deputy envoys of the Privy Council. If there is something to do, the various ministries will also be allowed to participate, but this is an enlarged meeting. The Privy Council was responsible for reviewing the battle plan, directing the operation, and mobilizing the forces of the various ministries.

In addition, Zhao Yu knows that stroke is often said in modern times cerebrovascular disease caused by cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases, even if this thing is rescued under modern medical conditions, it is difficult not to leave sequelae, not to mention that Zhang Shijie is no longer young, and he has already passed the age of sixtieth, even if he is strong, it is good not to draw a circle in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this heavy responsibility.

However, at present, Zhao Mengjin, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, concurrently serves as the Jiangdong envoy, and Liu Shiyong, the secretary of the Privy Council, is transferred to the defense envoy of the Yangtze River Naval Army......
