Facing Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Dezhao showed the most warm smile on his face. "How is the third uncle doing lately?"

Zhao Guangyi patted Zhao Dezhao's thick arm and sighed. "My body is getting more and more difficult, and I'm afraid this illness can't be cured. In the future, the world will still depend on you. ”

Zhao Tingmei was emotional for a while, and her eyes were red. "Third brother, your health will be fine, I'm still waiting for you to take me to hunt."

The two brothers, who were regarded as enemies in the future, are now brothers, friends and brothers.

Zhao Dezhao was a little vigilant in his heart, according to Zhao Guangyi's character, I am afraid that he will not easily admit defeat.

Although his health is not good now, whether it is Zhongshu Ling, Kaifeng Mansion Yin, or the forbidden army, he has not resigned from any official position.

He is still looking for a famous doctor, trying to cure his deficiency.

But Zhao Dezhao could know from the cyan veins under his eyes that his illness was incurable.

Cardiovascular disease due to potassium may be maintained, but the resulting kidney failure is absolutely incurable.

The drum beat suddenly changed the rhythm, and Zhao Kuangyin stood at the battlement of the city gate, which immediately triggered the worship of more than 20,000 soldiers below.

All the soldiers shouted long live and knelt down on one knee, which was particularly exciting.

Long live originated with Liu Bang, but it was not fixed as the title of emperor.

Before the Song Dynasty, many people were still called Banzai.

However, since the Northern Song Dynasty, Banzai has become the emperor's special title.

At the beginning of the flag-awarding ceremony, everyone stopped chatting and stood on both sides of Zhao Kuangyin to listen to his lecture.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, all aspects of etiquette were not perfect, and the so-called army flag awarding was mainly for the emperor to personally send money to the army, and the flag awarding was secondary.

Zhao Kuangyin was dressed in red armor, fiery red, standing at the battlement of the city wall, looking majestic.

The Song Dynasty inherited the fire virtue, respected red, and on formal occasions, the emperor's clothes were mainly red as the main color.

Respect for yellow, that is after the Ming Dynasty.

There is not much difference between the formation of the army and later generations, that is, more than 20,000 recruits lined up to welcome the emperor's review.

The emperor will not talk too much nonsense, first of all, he will talk about the necessity of forming an army, of course, there must be a reason, otherwise, these soldiers will not have a sense of belonging at all.

Then it was a matter of assigning garrisons, appointing generals, and letting each soldier know where he would be stationed in the future and who would be under his jurisdiction.

The last and most important thing is to divide the money and make everyone happy.

The Xiaoxiong army is stationed in Xinzheng, guarding the gateway to East and West Beijing. The garrison of the Xiongwu Army is the north gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

Their placement is still relatively good, although the forbidden army now has 200,000, but most of the garrisons are actually not in Kaifeng Prefecture.

The regular garrison of Kaifeng Prefecture is only about 70,000, and the remaining 130,000 are distributed in Henan, Hebei, Hubei, and Shandong, surrounding Kaifeng Prefecture.

They also have a good chance this time, Hunan and Xichuan are fighting, and a large number of forbidden troops have been dispatched to the expedition, so they can be stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.

Zhao Kuangyin's orders were transmitted one by one by the attendants all over the square, and although all the soldiers present could not necessarily hear Zhao Kuangyin's voice, they could also know what the emperor said.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but miss the Ming Dynasty's arena, which could accommodate 100,000 people, and there was a loudspeaker device, which allowed everyone to hear the emperor's words with their own ears.

When it came to the payment stage, all the sergeants lined up to receive the money, and the commanders of the two armies, dressed in armor and carrying middle and high-ranking generals, climbed the city wall.

Zhao Dezhao also knew who Wang Jixun was at this time...... From the outside, there is no telling that he is an ogre.

This person is about 1.7 meters tall, but he is extremely burly, with a wide back like a door panel, almost no neck, and strong like a cow.

"Meet Your Majesty." As soon as the generals of the Xiongwu army led by him came up, the jade pillar fell and bowed down on one knee.

Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward with a smile on his face, and helped Wang Jixun up by the arm. "Qing has been training in Hebei since last year, and he has worked hard and made great achievements. Now that the new army has been completed, when the soldiers are settled, they can return to Beijing for the New Year, and I will be drunk with you at that time. ”

Wang Jixun said: "The duty of a minister is not to speak up." But if you drink, the minister will be with you to the end. ”

This scene of the monarch and the minister made the atmosphere on the city wall seem extraordinarily harmonious, and Zhao Kuangyin and the generals talked one by one, without snubbing anyone.

Zhao Dezhao still admires this very much, he is because he has a great personality, high emotional intelligence, and many friends, and finally he will have a yellow robe.

Coming to this era, Zhao Dezhao also clearly knew that the so-called yellow robe was not a real dragon robe, but just a yellow military flag.

Li Chongjin rebelled, and as soon as he put the yellow military flag on his body, he proclaimed himself emperor.

Talk to the generals of the two armies one by one, and then go to the Jiying Hall together, where Zhao Kuangyin will hold a banquet and entertain the generals.

Among them, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Tingmei were all accompanied, and Zhao Dezhao, who had just reached the age of fifteen, did not need him to join in the fun on this occasion because he had not yet taken a substantive position.

Seeing the monarch and ministers go hand in hand, Zhao Dezhao made a look at Han Chongyun and walked out of Xuande Gate with Yuan Burang.

On the square, the soldiers are still receiving money, and it is very lively.

Zhao Dezhao, the prince, didn't care about them, except for the soldiers who bumped into him and saluted Zhao Dezhao, most of them were still talking and laughing loudly.

This one said that he wanted to go to the kiln to be happy, and the other said that the kiln was too low, and he wanted to go to the Qinglou to have a look and talk freely.

Zhao Dezhao strode towards the East Palace, still thinking about how to correct the military atmosphere.

This is still a troubled time, and you can't stifle the sharpness of the soldiers, but you must not let all the soldiers become **.

There is still a long way to go to correct this trend.

The best way is to re-establish a Shenji battalion that is completely under their control, and this Shenji battalion is composed of Xungui's children, who only practice muskets and form a seed team.

Then, let this seed team blossom and bear fruit throughout the country and re-establish a completely different army.

In the period of cold weapons, the army relied on courage to fight, but in the era of hot weapons, it relied on cooperation and discipline.

The use of Xungui's children is not because Xungui is more reliable, but because only Xungui's children are literate.

Moreover, the sense of responsibility of the ruling class is still trustworthy.

Entering the East Palace, I saw Pei Ge'an, who had changed into men's clothes, running over. "Second brother, how am I dressed?"

In more than three months, Pei Ge'an, who had originally shaved his almost bald head, had grown his hair, but it still didn't grow.

Children are not developing, and it is really difficult to distinguish between male and female when they change into men's clothes at this time.

Zhao Dezhao didn't answer and asked, "Has the pulp been tested?" ”

"I'll have to wait two days, and I'll ask you how my clothes are!"

"Of course you're beautiful all the time." Zhao Dezhao touched her little face, turned back to Yuan Burang and said, "Dutou, go back to the house and change your clothes, we will go to the north of the city to meet the other brothers now." ”

Yuan Burang and Chang Fu, Yu Quan both nodded, saluted and left.

It's just that the eyes they looked at Pei Ge'an were full of surprise.

She grabbed Zhao Dezhao's arm, jumped and jumped, and didn't care about the people around her.

But Zhao Dezhao seemed to be very doting on her and allowed her to be corrupt.

Chang Fu shook his head and said, "Dutou, what is the identity of this little lady, why did the second brother let her be powerful?" ”

Yuan Burang didn't know what was going on, and sighed: "Not only the second brother, but even the official family allowed her to eat at one table, and they were obedient to her." Since the official family and the second brother are so favorable, there is naturally something unusual about it. ”

Yu Quandao: "Tong Liang, the head of the inner palace, usually has eyes above the top, but in front of her, he looks like an echoing worm. What is at stake in this, we don't need to delve into it, we just need to know and not offend her. ”

Yuan Burang said: "In my opinion, I'm afraid I don't want to become the second brother's concubine, it's right to be respectful." ”

When they came to the middle courtyard, Tong Liang and the others had already prepared a riding suit and a set of soft armor. Zhao Dezhao took off his heavy armor with the help of Tong Liang, first changed into silk soft armor, and then put on riding clothes.

Except for the horizontal knife on his waist, Zhao Dezhao did not have any weapons on his body.

Of course, since he was going out hunting, someone naturally helped him bring a bow and arrow.

The riding outfit is pants, and the crotch is not big, and it is even a little tight.

The silk of silk soft armor is the most resilient cloth, this silk can resist the arrows of the bow and arrow, and the chest is padded with iron plates, which can also prevent sword damage.

Putting on light riding boots, Zhao Dezhao jumped and flipped two somersaults on the spot, only the iron pieces in his chest and abdomen did not affect his actions at all.

"Before you get back, the guards are ready. Let's hurry up......"

"Don't worry, Wang Jixun will stay in the palace to eat at noon, he will leave the palace in the afternoon, gather soldiers, and connive at the soldiers to rob the people's daughters, the fastest is also in the afternoon. If you want to be famous, you can't be in a hurry......"

Pei G'an pouted in dissatisfaction. "Who wants to see you kill him, I just want to hang out. In this day and age, it's harder to get out of the house than to go to the sky, and you can't go shopping......"

Zhao Dezhao pinched her little face and said with a smile: "Endure it for a while, when you arrive in Xiangyang, no one cares about you whatever you want." ”

In the front yard, a hundred forbidden soldiers had already dressed up and fed their horses.

Tong Liang brought over a group of tall horses with yellow bodies, and a long saddle with front and rear saddle bridges was also installed on the horseback. "Second brother, please get on the horse."

After Zhao Dezhao's Xuehuacheng was killed, he has not been equipped with exclusive horses, which is really the poor quality of horses in this era.

The Song Dynasty was congenitally deficient and did not have large horse farms, but now there are 140,000 horses in the country, half of which come from Shaanxi and half from Xichuan.

Shaanxi's horse farms are not large, mainly relying on trading with the Dingyan army, which was afraid of the Song Dynasty's attack and refused to sell good horses to the Song Dynasty.

However, this time is still good, now there are still 140,000 horses in the Song Dynasty, and by the time of Song Huizong, there were less than 2,000 horses in the country.

Zhao Dezhao first let the horses smell themselves, and so did Pei Ge'an, and then Zhao Dezhao put his left foot in the stirrup, and as soon as his body straddled, he sat on the saddle.

Stretched out her hand to Pei Ge'an, she stretched out her hand, Zhao Dezhao's arm pulled hard, and she sat in Zhao Dezhao's arms.

Nearly 100 forbidden troops also got on their horses one after another, and Zhao Dezhao waved his hand: "Let's go." ”
