Zhao Zhen decided to settle the matter with one word, and Lu Yijian and the three of them did not say more.

Zhao Zhen continued: "The scholars have to prevent this from making trouble. The Imperial Forest Guard has the duty of guarding the imperial city, and it is not allowed to move without permission, and it is not easy to attack the two armies of Japan and Tianwu.

After most of the men and horses of the Inspection Department were removed, the remaining troops are now only enough to guard the people of Bianjing City.

There's no way to stop the readers from making trouble.

I am going to set up another battalion to deal with this matter. ”

Lu Yijian and the three of them were stunned, and Lu Yijian said suspiciously: "Although most of the people and horses of the Inspection Department have been eliminated, there are still enough troops stationed in each arrest station. Even if they are not enough, the officials of the Criminal Department and Kaifeng Mansion can also be dispatched.

There is no need to separate a battalion, it will only increase the cost. ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "It's okay for the officials to arrest the thieves, but it is inevitable that they will have some more than enough strength to deal with the rioters. ”

Wang Zeng Zhengse said: "Even if a scholar makes trouble, he will not turn into a thug. ”

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that the three Aiqing have forgotten the scene that happened at the gate of the Gongyuan at the beginning of the year?" ”

When Lu Yijian and the three of them heard this, their faces were a little ugly.

At the beginning of the spring, when the scholars were taking the scientific examination, the scholars disregarded the law and discipline and made trouble at the gate of the Gongyuan, which was indeed a bit excessive.

Zhao Zhen used this to say things, and they had no way to refute it.

Zhao Zhen saw that Lu Yijian and the three of them were silent, so he continued: "I don't want to see the scholars turn into thugs, and I still count on them to help my country.

But they are not deeply involved in the world, and they rely on the protection of their identity as scholars, and they are always bewitched by some evil people with bad intentions, turning into thugs and provoking the law and discipline of the imperial court.

I can't tolerate this. ”

Lu Yijian and the three of them opened their mouths, and they had the intention to defend the reader for a few words.

But in the end, he just sighed and didn't speak.

It is not once or twice that scholars make trouble by virtue of their status, and the court is always very generous to them, and rarely blames them for this.

Over time, some ill-intentioned people have used it as a means of political struggle.

And tried and tested.

Some scheming civil officials like to use their fame to encourage scholars to make trouble and achieve some kind of political goals.

Lu Yijian had used similar tactics before.

It's just that similar methods can be used once or twice, and if they are used too much, it will be extremely harmful to the imperial court.

Today, similar methods are suspected of being abusive and must be curbed.

Zhao Zhen was obviously aware of the harm of this move, so he had to restrain the matter.

Restricting this matter is beneficial and harmless to the imperial court, and Lu Yijian and the three have no reason to stop it.

Zhao Zhen saw that Lu Yijian and the three were silent, so he assumed that Lu Yijian and the three acquiesced to the matter.

Immediately, he stared at Kou Ji and said to Lu Yijian and the others: "The newly established battalion, all equipped with firearms, will be named the firearms battalion. The matter was entrusted to the Privy Council, and the newly established battalion was also placed under the control of the Privy Council. ”

After listening to Zhao Zhen's words, Kou Ji understood Zhao Zhen's intentions.

The reason why Zhao Zhen proposed the establishment of a firearms battalion actually has nothing to do with the readers.

It was purely because the students of the Bishan Martial Arts Hall were about to graduate, and Zhao Zhen prepared a place for them to settle down in advance.

Bishan lectures on martial arts, and it is not public.

Although the imperial court had mentioned the Bishan Lecture Hall before, few people in the court knew where the Bishan Martial Arts Hall was and what it did.

Therefore, mobilizing the students of the Bishan Lecture Hall to enter the army will inevitably arouse some opposition.

Now, Zhao Zhen first set up a battalion, first included the students of the Bishan Lecture Martial Arts Hall into the military ranks, and then sent them out according to the needs of various places, and no one could object.

Zhao Zhen handed over the matter to the Privy Council, and the newly established battalion was in charge of the Privy Council.

The Privy Council handles affairs, as long as Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen nod, and there is no need to ask what others mean.

"No way!"

Kou Ji knew the joints, and was just about to open his mouth to agree, when he heard Lu Yijian's solemn opening veto the matter.

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "The newly established battalion is to assist the imperial court in rectifying the security of Bianjing City, and it will definitely be stationed in Bianjing City on weekdays. The Privy Council should not control the soldiers and horses in Bianjing. ”

When Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai heard this, they nodded in unison.

Lu Yijian said this, and there was no selfishness.

He was purely concerned about the safety of the official family.

The Privy Council now controls the military power of all the forbidden armies in the world and can mobilize all the forbidden armies in the world.

Now the forbidden armies of the various ministries are located in the four fields of the Great Song Dynasty, and only the two armies of Zhuri and Tianwu are located outside Bianjing City, and they have been ordered to be stationed in the barracks, and they are not allowed to leave the camp without orders, and there are no soldiers and horses that the Privy Council can mobilize in Bianjing.

This greatly curtails the possibility of a mutiny by those in power in the Privy Council.

But once there are soldiers and horses of the Privy Council in Bianjing City, it is very likely that Bianjing City will be easily broken by the Privy Council rulers.

The possibility of this happening is almost zero, but it has to be guarded against.

Although the power of the forbidden army is now vested in the Privy Council, the intensity of monitoring the rebellion of the forbidden army has not weakened because of this move, but has become more rigorous.

If someone wants to cause chaos, they must buy everyone in the army to complete it.

Otherwise, the forbidden army would not even be able to get out of the camp.

Today's system of the forbidden army is a two-sided system, one facing inward and the other external.

Internally, the constraints are extremely strict.

Externally, there are few constraints.

The reason why this system was implemented was also to prevent the forbidden army from causing chaos while maintaining the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.

Under the constraints of this system, the forbidden army would hardly easily appear in front of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

If they appear in front of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it means that there is a major rebellion within the Great Song Dynasty, and the local soldiers and horses cannot solve it, and they must come forward.

Only people outside the Great Song Dynasty can see them all year round.

It is precisely because of this that the possibility of rebellion by the forbidden army is almost zero.

But even so, Lu Yijian and the three of them still wanted to guard against it.

Zhao Zhen frowned after listening to Lu Yijian's words.

The students who came out of the Bishan Lecture Martial Arts Hall will eventually enter the forbidden army.

The Forbidden Army and the Local Army are now two types of military orders.

If the students of the Bishan Lecture Martial Arts Hall come out, the military status is not transferred to the Privy Council, but to the military department, then there will be some trouble in transferring them later.

After all, in the military affairs of the Privy Council, the courtiers cannot interfere.

But in the military affairs of the military department, the civil servants in the court can interfere.

If the officers and men of the newly established firearms battalion are frequently mobilized, it is easy to attract the attention of others.

Although it attracts the attention of others, it will not affect the plan set by Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.

But there will always be some trouble.

Playing officialdom, taking a fight, or deliberately making things difficult is the norm in officialdom.

If there are officials who deliberately shirk when changing military status and changing military salaries, or simply grinding foreign workers, it will delay the implementation of Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen's plan.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, it is impossible for them to keep an eye on the scheduling of the firearms battalion soldiers all the time, right?

Even if they have that heart, they don't have that free time.

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a long time, and said: "The newly established firearms battalion, after it becomes an army, will be stationed outside the city, and I will dispatch it when needed. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen stared at Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng: "Those scholars can't make trouble every day, right?" ”

When Lu Yijian heard this, he didn't say anything more.

Zhao Zhen decided on the matter of the firearms battalion, and said to Lu Yijian: "Three Aiqing, the matter of promoting education, the three Aiqing should also start to prepare." After the money and property seized from Jiaozhi are transported back to Beijing, I will officially promote Mongolian learning in our Great Song Dynasty.

In my big Song Dynasty, the roads, prefectures, counties, and township yamen must establish Mongolian schools and include Mongolian children of appropriate age in Mongolian schools.

Some villages and towns where the road is difficult can be assigned to settle in. ”

Lu Yijian hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is not overnight......"

Before Lu Yijian's words were finished, Zhao Zhen interrupted him, "I founded Mengxue regardless of money, they only need to make some efforts, and they don't need to do anything else, so they can make enough political achievements."

If they are not active in making political achievements and have to talk nonsense, then they should die. ”

Lu Yijian said with a smile: "The minister didn't mean this, the minister just felt that Mr. Mengxue's employment and their distribution of money still need to be discussed carefully to avoid corruption from anyone." ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned and frowned.

After thinking about it for a long time, he looked at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji smiled faintly and said: "The official family can send someone to investigate how much money Mr. Private School can earn in a year, and take a value in the compromise, and make it clear to the world in the form of a newspaper."

The minister remembered that the year-old restraint of Mr. Private School was not low, and I believe that many scholars would go to the Yamen to call Mr. Private School.

The yamen in various places only need to count the list of private school gentlemen and report it to the imperial court.

When the imperial court began to teach, they deposited their money in the Yizi shop, and they only needed to go to the nearest Yizi shop to withdraw money.

The money was distributed to them directly by the imperial court through the Yizi Jiaozi Shop, without going through other people's hands in the middle, and the possibility of corruption was extremely low. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he said with a smile: "Borrowing a word to hand over the shop to distribute them with a lot of money can indeed avoid a lot of corruption in the middle, so do it." ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Lu Yijian and the three of them frowned slightly.

It was not that they were dissatisfied with Kou Ji's proposal, but simply felt that Kou Ji's proposal had increased the workload of the imperial court.

After all, this matter is handed over to the local yamen, and the local yamen is responsible for it, and it will be much easier for the imperial court to just give money.

If there is a direct rule of the imperial court, it will be very troublesome.

But the three of them thought about it for a moment and did not speak against the matter.

The imperial court spared no expense to open Mengxue in various places, and included Mengtongs of school-age in various places into Mengxue, which had not happened in other dynasties. 、

The imperial court's implementation of this move now can be regarded as the first time in the world.

It's reasonable to be busy for this.

It is also beneficial for the imperial court to control this matter.

That is, it can better supervise the development of local Mongolian studies.

If there is any problem in the local Mongolian school, the imperial court will immediately know the news and can immediately make a response.

Zhao Zhen saw that Lu Yijian and the three of them did not ask any more questions, so he ordered: "This matter will be handed over to the three Aiqing and the Ministry of Rites." Local officials must supervise the establishment of Mongolian schools and the enrolment of Mongolian children.

I will include this in the evaluation of the officials. ”

Lu Yijian and the three of them got up and agreed in unison.

Zhao Zhen included this matter in the evaluation of the officials, which was directly linked to the promotion of officials in various places.

Naturally, officials in various localities did not dare to snub off this matter.

After Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian to discuss the matter, he did not stay in the palace for long.

Zhao Zhen has dropped out of the court for a long time, and there is a backlog of many government affairs, and now he is busy dealing with it, and he did not leave Kou Ji to have a private chat in the palace.

After Kou Ji left the palace, he rushed to Ruisheng Garden and informed Jia Changchao and others of the matter.

After Jia Changchao and the others learned about this, they happily got together and studied the simplified characters.

Some Confucians felt that the study of simplified characters was a big project and needed many like-minded people to join, so they wrote letters to call friends.

Koji didn't stop that.

The Confucians are highly educated and have a high status, and it is a waste to live in seclusion among the people.

In the past, the imperial court did not know how to make the best use of things, which led to the exile of the great Confucians among the people and their extinction among the people.

Now it is definitely a good thing to be able to gather them together, engage in academic research together, and contribute to the Great Song Dynasty.

More importantly, the Confucianists have a high status and prestige in Shilin.

What they have researched and promoted in their name has met with little resistance.

A bunch of disciples and grandchildren, dare to question what the gentlemen have researched?

Begging or scolding?

Do you dare to fight back?

Do you dare to fight back when you scold you?

There are a group of Confucian people behind the scenes to support the compilation of books, and Kou Ji can rest assured that he will hand over this matter to Jia Changchao.

After Kou Ji handed over the matter to Jia Changchao, he didn't pay much attention to it.

In the days to come.

Kou Ji was busy preparing for the firearms camp, and Lu Yijian and others were busy promoting Mengxue.

Everyone was busy, and nothing bad happened.

Until the end of the year.

The firearms battalion and the Mengxue were thoroughly prepared.

After Kou Ji prepared everything for the firearms battalion, the first batch of students who graduated from the Bishan Lecture Martial Arts Hall appeared in Bianjing City and became the soldiers of the firearms battalion.

For them, the firearms battalion was just a temporary place to stay, and then they would be transferred to other forbidden forces, so after they entered the camp, Kou Ji threw them to Chong Shiheng and didn't pay much attention to them.

The detailed rules of Mengxue have been properly prepared, and the imperial court has already passed the air to all roads and yamen.

It only needs to wait for the money and property captured by the Annan army in Jiaozhi to be transported to Bianjing City, and the imperial court can implement this matter.

Time flickered, and it was the eighth day of the lunar month.

A large number of soldiers and horses, escorting cartloads of money, entered Bianjing City.

After they entered Bianjing City, the people of the Yizizi shop took all the money away.

The reason why the money was handed over to the Yizi shop, not the household department, was because this money was a special fund.

Later, money was needed to recruit gentlemen, build school buildings, etc.

The imperial court has decided that after the beginning of spring next year, it will be reported to the palace to implement this matter.

Money needs to be transported to various places as soon as possible through the shop.

As soon as the imperial court's mansion report came out, all localities could use the money to build school buildings and recruit gentlemen.

Don't delay for a moment.

Kou Ji did not pay attention to the issue of money delivery, and when the soldiers and horses of Yongzhou sent the money into Bianjing, Kou Ji was listening to the report of his henchmen and spies in the mansion.

"Young Master......"

A middle-aged man, standing in Kou Ji's study, bowed down to bow to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji sat on the chair, stared at the middle-aged man and said, "How is the situation of Jiaozhi?" ”

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "It's messy, it's messy." ”

Kou Ji groaned, "What kind of mess? ”

The middle-aged man reported: "After the Annan army entered Jiaozhi, no one restrained them, and one by one they fought with sharp armor in their hands, and they wantonly killed in Jiaozhi.

At first, the Jiaozhi people only regarded them as the ordinary soldiers and horses of my Great Song Dynasty, so they used the same means to deal with them as they had always treated my Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses. ”

Jiaozhi people are also familiar with the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Guangyi was in power, the first Northern Expedition failed, and he felt deeply damaged his face, so he sent the Yongzhou regiment training envoy at that time to lead the soldiers and horses to attack Jiaozhi, intending to find some sense of presence in Jiaozhi, so as to save the face of the defeat of the First Northern Expedition.

However, due to the lack of command and the unadaptability of the soldiers and horses in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty to the climate of Jiaozhi, they returned with a fiasco.

When the Jiaozhi people dealt with the soldiers and horses in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, they took advantage of the terrain and climate to make the Great Song Dynasty lose their troops.

The Annan army entered Jiaozhi in the name of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, and the Jiaozhi people naturally repeated their old tricks and took advantage of the climate and terrain to deal with the Annan army.

It's just that the Annan Army is not a soldier and horse in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, but a native soldier and horse in Yongzhou and other places, who have adapted to the climate and terrain of Jiaozhi since childhood, and are also familiar with fighting in the terrain of the mountains.

Therefore, the Cochin people are self-defeating.

They dragged a group of well-armed men who knew the terrain, the climate, and were well armed into what they thought was an advantageous battlefield, where they were destined to be beaten.

Kou Ji roughly guessed the result, but he didn't speak, he stared at the middle-aged man and motioned for the middle-aged man to continue.

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Jiaozhi people are smart but are mistaken by cleverness. They wanted to use the terrain and miasma to deal with the Annan army, but the Annan army in turn used the terrain and miasma, as well as the armor, to defeat the army.

The Annan army pursued the victory when the Jiaozhi people fled.

Captured two cities in a row. ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips and said with emotion: "The wicked still need the wicked to grind ......"

When the middle-aged man heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Obviously, the middle-aged man felt that Kou Ji's words were not accurate.

Kou Ji didn't care about the middle-aged man's reaction, he stared at the middle-aged man and motioned for him to continue.

The middle-aged man continued: "The Annan army captured the two cities of Jiaozhi in a row, and the lord of the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi was furious, and sent the elite soldiers of Jiaozhi out of Shenglong Mansion and rushed to the front of the battle to engage the Annan army.

The Annan army was not afraid of battle, but there were many soldiers and horses.

As a result, the Annam army suffered two defeats. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, what the middle-aged man said was expected by Kou Ji.

The Annan Army is composed of the local people of Yongzhou, and the local people in Yongzhou are fierce, so the Annan Army composed of local people will naturally not be weak in combat effectiveness, nor will they be afraid of death.

But they are used to being free, they don't like to be constrained by the military discipline of the Great Song Dynasty, and they don't have many rules and formations to speak of when they fight.

Against a large number of Jiaozhi elite soldiers, even if they fight to the death, they will also lose the battle.

Even if they are well-equipped, it is difficult for them to be the enemy of elite soldiers with strict military discipline.

"Just when the Annan Army was about to ask for help from the forbidden army in Yongzhou, the group of people who went to Jiaozhi to watch the battle made a move."

When the middle-aged man mentioned the big cannibal, his breathing became a little heavier.

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "They asked to bring troops and horses over, obviously they were not prepared to watch the battle in peace, and they would definitely take action when necessary, this matter is expected by me." ”

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "They are really powerful! His subordinates had never seen such powerful soldiers and horses. They dispatched only a thousand elite horsemen, armed with armor and blades, to meet the enemy.

In the face of 30,000 horses in Jiaozhi, he was not afraid to kill head-on.

They rushed into the formation of the soldiers and horses, like knives cutting into tofu. continued to divide and strangle, and finally beheaded more than 6,000 Jiaozhi people and forced more than 18,000 Jiaozhi soldiers and horses to surrender.

Only a very small number of them escaped.

During this period, the Annan army did not help. ”

Kou Ji glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "You have been in Leizhou before, and you have not seen my Tiger Character Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Iron Harrier of Western Xia, if you have seen them, you will not think that they are the most powerful soldiers and horses." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned.

Without much explanation, Kou Ji asked, "Those people should be wearing heavy armor, right?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji didn't ask any more questions, and motioned to the middle-aged man, "Go on......"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "After they helped the Annan army defeat the Jiaozhi soldiers, they cooperated with the Annan army to take a city." ”

"Reasonable!"

"The Annan army thought that its bravery would not be lost to others, and did not want to use their strength to commit murder, so it gathered a large number of clansmen from the mountains and forests of Yongzhou and other places to join the Annan army."

"I've guessed this a long time ago......"

"Originally, the situation was very good, but those big cannibals, after entering Cochin, began to preach. There was a conflict with the local shamans and the Buddhists.

Nowadays, the people of Jiaozhi Buddhism are agitating the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty to continuously converge on the three cities where the Annan army is located.

The Annan army, instigated by the sorcerers, became hostile to the Great Cannibals.

The general of the Annan Army now has to resist the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to prevent his men from clashing with the big cannibals. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji sighed and said, "It's really messy......"

Kou Ji had already guessed that after the big cannibal arrived in Jiaozhi, he would not be honest, and he would inevitably find an opportunity to preach.

It's just that he didn't expect the big cannibal to be so anxious, and after just gaining a foothold, he began to preach.

Not only did he clash with the local Buddhism, but he also clashed with the shamans of those small tribes.

Buddhism in Jiaozhi, inherited for a long time, far-reaching influence, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the local people, even if the local people do not eat or drink, will also worship the Buddha devoutly.

The witch cult is even more powerful, it has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years in various small tribes, and it has long been deeply rooted in the blood of the people of various small tribes.

The small tribes have also always worshipped the sorcerer as the ruler.

The wizards agitated a little, and the people of the small tribes could sacrifice their lives for the wizards.

All of a sudden, there was a conflict with both of them.

The big cannibal is really looking for abuse.
