Chapter 54: The New Army

Zhao Kuangyin walked in first, and saw that this study was originally Zhao Dezhao's class, and the Luohan bed was lifted to the wall and turned into an empty space.

Only the Luohan bed at the top is still there, which looks particularly incongruous.

The floor was clean, and apparently the crowd sat on the floor to listen to the lecture at first.

I walked to the top of the Arhat bed and sat down, and saw that the book was placed on the desk next to him, and next to it was the derogatory decree that he had sent people in the morning.

The page turned with a title: How to find water and food in the desert, in the Gobi.

He looked up at the crowd in a circle, and said, "You all disperse first, wait for me to take a good look, go back and arrange for printing, and each person has a copy." ”

Pan Weide said: "Official, the second brother is impatient to write too many words, and the writing is brief, but when it comes to it, there is a lot of content in it." Therefore, the minister asked the official family to allow the second brother to finish the book for us. ”

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Dezhao, saw him nodding slightly, and said, "If there is no taboo content, it will naturally not disappoint you." ”

The emperor wants to occupy the field, and no matter how big the second ancestor is, he must give way. Although a group of young people were also reluctant, they could only go home first.

Only Han Chongxun could stay here with Han Chongyun's light, but he didn't dare to say a word.

The room returned to its original state, and Zhao Kuangyin, who was sitting at the top, looked very carefully this time, so he watched very slowly.

Han Chongyun was afraid that it would affect his reading, and he didn't dare to talk to Zhao Dezhao, so he could only lean on the Luohan bed and close his eyes to recuperate.

The soldier's manual of later generations basically has six aspects: 1. National defense knowledge; 2. Military knowledge; 3. Knowledge of political work; 4. Life knowledge; 5. Benefits; 6. Self-cultivation.

The knowledge of national defense was replaced by Chinese history, the knowledge of political work and self-cultivation were canceled, and the knowledge of military training and life was not deleted, but Zhao Dezhao added some ancient arrays, and the aspect of welfare benefits is currently written in an unknown language.

He is just a prince, not an emperor, and there are too many taboos written in this regard.

The more Zhao Kuangyin read it, the more frightened he became, because this book was a little rough at first glance, and it was not literary, but it analyzed things in an orderly manner.

Whether he thought of it or what he didn't think of, it was analyzed clearly.

Some of the regulations that he knows and doesn't know why they are are also clearly explained above.

After reading half of it, he raised his head, looked at Zhao Dezhao, who lowered his eyebrows and said, "Second brother, do you think this book can be taught directly to the soldiers?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "Low-level soldiers can't, high-level generals can." There are some training regulations that can be implemented by generals. However, unlike today's armies, children need to be taught by everyone. ”

Han Chongyun seemed to be asleep, Han Chongxun, who was sitting on the same bed with him, didn't dare to move, and Zhao Dezhao deliberately made a louder voice to wake him up.

Han Chongyun, who was awakened, was an old man, took a deep breath, and deliberately closed his eyes for a while.

"Tell me more."

"First of all, most of the soldiers nowadays are just for the sake of eating, whoever is full will follow whomever they want, they have no ideals and ambitions, and it is inappropriate to talk to them too much about their family and country feelings or something.

Second, most of the soldiers are illiterate, and the content of the books needs to be taught, and it is a waste to give them the books.

Third, they are weak and can't stand the harsh training, even if they are in the forbidden army today, they can't stand this kind of restraint.

Fourth, this training process involves new tactics, and it is best not to leak them until we are proficient in them. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and asked, "Then after we master it, we are not afraid that others will learn it?" ”

"Don't be afraid, for only we can make muskets."

Muskets? What kind of weapon is this? Han Chongyun's heart moved, and when he opened his eyes, he still didn't say a word.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's better to do it, I'll see how far you can do it." On the Ministry of Industry, I will assign 300 carpenters, 300 blacksmiths will go to Xiangyang at the end of the month, and the iron materials needed will be supplied by Nanyang, and the wood needed will be cut directly in Xiangyang. On your side, who are you going to arrange to supervise the construction? ”

"Liu Xiao Liu Diantou."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Aren't you tired of him?" ”

Zhao Dezhao is open and honest. "It's just that he deliberately let him be enveloped by others."

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Han Chongyun, and his face turned pale. "But is there really someone who is holding him in the air?"

"Jia Yan, Jia Jihua."

Han Chongyun was terrified when he heard this, and he regretted that he had stayed here.

However, Zhao Kuangyin didn't seem to care about his existence, and shouted loudly: "Meng Kuan." ”

Meng Kuan, who had been silent, appeared at the door of the side hall. "The minister is here."

"Let people go to the second brother's farm to call Liu Xiao back, I have something to ask him in person."

Meng Kuan took the order and left, and Zhao Kuangyin turned back to Han Chongyun and said: "Old ten, the third brother is not in good health now, and the forbidden army is here, you have to worry more." ”

Han Chongyun immediately stood up and stood solemnly. "Ministers should do their best to control it."

Having said that, neither of them took it seriously, and Han Chongyun took the most trouble to supervise the other forbidden troops.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned, thinking about who to let gradually take over the forbidden army in Zhao Guangyi's hands.

Han Chongyun said again at this time: "The official, the minister has something to ask for. ”

Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and said, "Say." ”

"Xiao'er Chongxun is thirteen this year, fourteen in the next year, and now the second brother is preparing to build a new army, and the minister wants to seek a place for him in the new army."

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at the stocky Han Chongxun and nodded. "You just can't bear it, I also want him to go to Xiangyang with my second brother. Not only him, Wang Chengyan, Shi Baoji, Cao Can, their generation, I want to rush to Xiangyang. ”

Han Chongyun said with a smile: "If the arrow is not excited, it is not far away, the knife is not sharpened, and the jade is not sharpened." These juniors should go out and hone and hone their skills. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, retracted the topic, and said to Zhao Dezhao: "Since Murong Yanzhao died of illness in Shannan Dongdao, there has been no temperance envoy for more than a year, and the deployment of soldiers and horses in the southwest has become more and more deserted. Thorn Shi Cai Lingxing is old, and he is an old man, not the second brother's help.

But now that you have not yet taken office, you are mainly in peace, and now let him occupy this position. When you stabilize in Xiangyang next year, I will help you arrange a good governance minister to help you stabilize Xiangyang.

If you go to Xiangyang, it doesn't hurt for other people, but you must be enveloped by the Murong family. Three generations of their ancestors have been developing in Xiangyang for decades, and they are the largest family in the local area. ”

Murong Yanzhao is also a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, he is the son of Murong Zhang, the assassin of Kaizhou, born in Jiangmen, good at attacking, fighting in the south and the north, and fighting horses all his life.

His father later ascended to the Xiangyang Thorn History, and the Murong family multiplied in the local area.

And their family is very capable of giving birth, like Murong Yanzhao, daughters are not counted, and the sons alone have grown up to ten.

Murong Yanzhao died the year before last, and now most of the people in the Murong family are keeping filial piety in Xiangyang.

For a long time, Shannan Dongdao has been the largest road in China.

The largest time is now, north to Nanyang, northwest to Shangluo, southwest including Chongqing, southeast to Suizhou, Anlu area, south to Changde, Hunan.

It includes southwestern Henan, southeastern Shaanxi, eastern Sichuan, Chongqing, most of Hubei and northern Hunan.

This is mainly because Jingzhou was brought to Yichang, and it was a newly conquered territory, and it has not yet been divided.

However, Chongqing's Kaizhou and Wanzhou, since the Tang Dynasty, have belonged to Shannan Dongdao.

Murong Zhang has always been an official in this area, and it is natural that the Murong family can be born and take root here.

However, Zhao Dezhao knew very well that the Murong family was not considered a local snake, because their family wanted to be an official, so they did not dare to develop local forces.

Later, several sons of Murong Yanzhao also achieved the position of a state assassin.

After Murong Yanzhao's death, the Murong family gradually dispersed to various places.

"The child knows that it is rumored that Murong Yanzhao's second son, Defeng, is only three years older than the child, and his name is Rixin."

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "I respect Murong Yanzhao as my brother, and your words are taken from Defeng." Our two families have a lot of connections, even if there is a failure, don't touch them easily. ”

This can be regarded as a father's words and deeds to his son, but he doesn't know that Zhao Dezhao doesn't need this kind of teaching, and Zhao Dezhao is much richer than him in terms of political experience.

At noon, Liu Xiao was recalled from the farm, and Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that he would tell a lie, so he asked him directly after he came back.

Although Liu Xiao did not leave any written evidence, the silver money sent by Jia Yan was not touched, and the process of each letter was clearly written.

Zhao Kuangyin was furious, and he didn't eat well at noon, and several bear paws were eaten by Zhao Dezhao and a few children.

After lunch, he took the unfinished "Infantry Drill Codex" to the Zhongshu Lingfu, obviously to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Until now, he has never thought about dealing with Zhao Guangyi, for him, maintaining the reputation of the Zhao family is more important than a temporary honor and disgrace.

Anyway, Zhao Guangyi is going to die now, why bother to publicize this matter and make others laugh at it?

And Liu Xiao knew that the plan was easy to achieve, and couldn't help crying with joy.

He didn't even want to rest for a day, so he would leave for Xiangyang tomorrow to help Zhao Dezhao take care of everything.

supervised the construction, so that Zhao Dezhao went to Xiangyang, and he could live comfortably.

I thought that this life would pass like this, but Zhao Dezhao is now valued, and his future is bright.

He hoped to live a few more years and see Zhao Dezhao sit in that position.

At that time, he was also at the peak of his life.

Of course, Zhao Dezhao will not let him go now, even if he goes, he will let him go with the craftsmen.

Moreover, when he went to Xiangyang to lay the foundation, he also had to make a plan, so that Liu Xiao could come according to the plan.

When he arrives in Xiangyang, he already has a little foundation, and he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, Liu Xiao's departure time was arranged at the end of the month after his wedding, and when the wedding was held, the East Palace also needed a capable person!

On the fifth day of the first month of October, Zhao Kuangyin issued 246 Jiajin holy decrees in one day, taking care of all the school-age men of the entire military generals and noble families above the fifth rank.

There are more than 200 holy decrees, but there are more than 700 people in total, because many families have several brothers.

The eldest was twenty-two years old, and the youngest was twelve, and they were allowed to serve in the new army, and they were paid a salary of ten generals or more.

This time, it immediately caused a thousand waves in Kaifeng Mansion.
