Zhao Dezhao can't turn a bandit-like army into a benevolent and righteous army overnight, but he can set up a horse.

He wants to make those soldiers afraid of the Jinyiwei, and he wants to let the authority of the Jinyiwei be reflected to the maximum.

In fact, he didn't expect the Zhongwu Army and the Long Jie Army to fight, these armies were just his Shenji Battalion to clean up the battlefield after attacking the city and plundering the formation.

In history, it took the army of the Song Dynasty a year to defeat the Southern Han Dynasty, and it can be said that the time was mainly spent on the march.

This is not an era of being stronger, but an era of being worse than rotten.

Liu Gang wanted officials to be officials from the palace in order to be generals, and everywhere the Song Dynasty troops went, they all surrendered one after another.

The territory that has been laid down needs to be managed, and the Shenji Battalion cannot be dispersed now, and this force must be exerted in the most important position.

It was Zhao Kuangyin's intention to let the Zhongwu Army and Long Jiejun come over, he thought that the combat effectiveness of these two armies was still relatively strong, and he was also used to fighting in the mountains.

Although Zhao Dezhao did not believe in their combat effectiveness, he also needed to have troops stationed in the occupied areas.

Today's army is the same, and the Zhenwu army that has changed to the loyal army, and the Zhenwu army that comes is probably not much stronger than them.

It would be good if they were afraid, now is the time to fight the world, not to rule the world.

After leaving the left-behind mansion, Wang Quanbin wiped the cold sweat on his face, looked left and right at the generals who seemed to have been hit hard, and couldn't help but ask Yuan Burang, who led the way: "Commander, each military camp really only has two hundred brocade guards, and it suppressed the mutiny of six thousand troops?" ”

Yuan Burang shook his head and sighed: "There is one more dead today, it is really incompetent as a leader." The dead Yin Zhaoji is the second son of Yin Chongke, the deputy deployment of the Ma Bujun of the Xingying Battalion, and this time he is in trouble again! Alas......"

Cui Yanjin, the commander of the former Hujie Army, couldn't help but say: "You are so angry when you only die one, but we have more than 400 people killed and injured more!" ”

Cui Yanjin was also a general who was demoted in Shu after the pacification, he killed people like hemp, and burned and looted under his subordinates in Xichuan.

After the pacification of Houshu, he was originally demoted to the Zhaohua Military Festival Observation Queen, and was transferred to Wang Quanbin's command of the left wing of the power to make meritorious contributions.

Yuan Burang ignored the sarcasm in his words and said: "You don't understand, when you see the power of the Shenji Battalion, you will know that your current loyal army, the Long Jie Army, is just a rabble.

My Jinyi Guard is even better than the Shenji Battalion, none of them have been trained for less than a year and a half, they are all festival envoys, and the descendants of the command envoys, each of them is a treasure! ”

Cui Yanjin said angrily: "You Jinyi are all treasures? Could it be that my loyal army is all a chicken and a dog! ”

Yuan Burang smiled and said: "Don't compare with my Jinyi Wei, even the Shenji Battalion, you are far inferior." This southern expedition, let you come, but our Shenji Battalion is the hand. ”

Cui Yanjin said: "Okay, anyway, we have a competition in three days, and we'll see who is weak when the time comes!" ”

Yuan didn't let Haha laugh. "Don't act as a commander, don't play tricks, don't take my words, I don't believe you don't know the Shenji Battalion, the Jinyi Guard is powerful. Your son entered the Jinyi Guard, and your second son didn't pass the assessment, so he only entered the Shenji Camp.

But your eldest son is only a small soldier now, and your second son has become a deputy commander, you go and ask your two sons, which of them is powerful? ”

Cui Yanjin's recklessness was all faked, and he was not embarrassed when Yuan Bulet revealed it, and laughed: "It's not that I just arrived in Hanjing, and I haven't had time to get together with them yet!" ”

As he was talking, he passed a junction, and a large group of people led their horses and waited by the side of the road, and lit torches, and saw that there were no less than two hundred people.

Seeing their group of generals coming out of the left-behind mansion, they immediately knelt down one by one.

"Daddy, the boy has a greeting for you."

"Grandfather, I'm here, are you okay?"

"Dad, do you think I look good-looking?"

Yuan Burang shouted: "Don't make a noise, there is a mutiny in the four battalions today, and the generals must go back to the camp to deal with it first." Tomorrow, the Jinyi Guard, the Shenji Battalion will be repaired for a day, and there is time for you to get together, so retire today. ”

Cui Yanjin also saw his eldest son Cui Huaizun and second son Cui Huaiqing, both of whom are much more mature than two years ago, but one is a red and black Shenji battalion uniform, and the other is a black and red brocade guard uniform.

patted the shoulders of his two sons and helped them up, he smiled and comforted: "You are angry, and I am proud of my father." With official duties, our father and son will meet again tomorrow. ”

Cui Huaizun said with a smile: "Daddy doesn't know, we were all arranged by His Highness." Today, we will accompany my father to patrol the camp and tell my father about the current situation......"

Yuan Bulet was a little surprised. "Is there a military order?"

Cui Huaizun took out the military order issued by Wang Chengyan and handed it to Yuan Burang. "The commander of the envoy is beside His Highness, and everything is instructed by the deputy commander."

Yuan didn't let it or care, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it also saves me the effort of leading the way, and the generals will be handed over to you." ”

Yuan Bu let leave with two retinues, and the other generals asked about their sons and nephews. "Why do all the military commanders not know it? He's been set aside? ”

"Yuan Du commanded the envoy to be mainly responsible for guarding His Royal Highness, and the Jinyi Guard rarely interfered in affairs. Now Wang Chengyan is mainly responsible for the distribution of our military affairs, but Wang Chengyan is not willing to take care of it, he wants to go into battle to fight, but His Royal Highness does not allow it. ”

"This is new, what are you Jinyi guards going to do? Why don't you go into battle? Wang Chengyan is the son of Wang Xianqi, right? Now that you are young and have become a deputy commander, you are not satisfied? ”

"I'll talk to my father later, but now let's deal with the mutiny first!"

The loyal army has to be transferred over to listen to orders, and the generals in this army, of course, Zhao Dezhao understands it very well. Their children and grandchildren have not arranged military affairs, and they are responsible for receiving them and explaining to them the military discipline and regulations of the new army.

With them running in and mediating in the middle, even if there are some minor contradictions, they can be directly resolved.

The children and grandchildren are all pinched in the hands of Zhao Dezhao, and they are not afraid that they will not be interested.

They went around several military camps, and each military camp lit a large number of torches to illuminate the courtyard clearly.

There are only two hundred brocade guards in each barracks, but now there are 1,000 and a half more soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to guard them, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are also issued with muskets, so they are not afraid that they will continue to make trouble.

They were also frightened by the muskets, and now they are extraordinarily honest.

For the first time, these generals handled the mutiny so smoothly that they did not have to promise anything, but only said that they were not to blame for the past, and these mutinous soldiers seemed to have escaped.

And after understanding the power of the musket, these generals also knew why two hundred brocade guards dared to attack six thousand men.

Muskets are more convenient to use than guns, they can be carried by one person, and they can easily fire hundreds of rounds in a row.

A hundred steps in the air can injure people to death, and the farther the distance, the less powerful it becomes, but the coverage area is greater, a dozen and a large area.

Who in the world can stop such power?

The next day, the soldiers of the Long Jie Army Brigade also arrived in Hanjing on horseback, and when they first arrived in Hanjing, they were strictly restrained by Tian Shaobin in the Longzhong area in the west of the city.

It was forty miles from the city, and all kinds of beans and hay had been prepared, and a thousand servants had cut the grass for them.

The Long Jie Army was one of the four forbidden armies left behind in the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Long Jie Army and the Iron Cavalry Army each had more than 10,000 people, the Hujie Army had more than 20,000 people, and the Crane Control Army had the largest number, with more than 40,000 people, totaling about 100,000 people.

There were a total of 6,000 people in the Long Jie army sent to Hanjing this time, but they would not stay in Hanjing for a long time, but went straight to Tanzhou (Changsha) first.

The lesson of the loyal army with thousands of dead and wounded made everyone understand the importance of discipline, and at the same time it was also a deterrent to the Long Jie army.

Tian Shaobin has completely lost the arrogance he started with, although Long Jiejun is a cavalry, and his military discipline is stronger than that of the loyal army, he can be called a proud general.

If they violated military discipline because of this, he didn't think that the Jinyi Guard would let them go.

His son Tian Shouxin served in Jinyiwei, even if it was for his own son, he had to restrain his subordinates.

When they arrived in Hanjing, everyone repaired for three days, and everyone was given a booklet on military discipline, an iron knife, a medical kit, a new pair of shoes, and a new set of clothes.

The 3,000 Zhen'an troops who arrived later belonged to the Xiang Army, which was originally composed of mountain people in the Qinling Mountains, and although their combat effectiveness in the plains was average, they had more experience in mountain warfare.

Most of them were illiterate, and they were overjoyed to get the equipment, and they drank all the small jars of high alcohol in the medicine kits.

However, compared with the Loyal Army, the military discipline of the Zhen'an Army is much better.

They are all composed of villagers, and their families have a family and a business, and they came out to serve as soldiers in order to leave an inheritance for their families.

What's more, their leader is Liu Guangyi, and Liu Guangyi is one of the ten brothers of Zhao Kuangyin's Yishe and the emperor's worshipper.

He knew very well who his backer was and what the main purpose of this expedition to the south was.

His two sons, Liu Yonghe in Jinyiwei and Liu Yongde in Shenji Camp, had already told him about the stakes.

The lesson that the loyal army suffered from nearly 1,000 casualties was vigorously propagated by him when he arrived in Hanjing.

At the same time, he also took the initiative to invite a hundred people from Jinyiwei to explain military regulations to his subordinates.

After three days of repair, the Zhongwu Army competed with the Shenji Battalion, and the originally pampered Zhongwu Army fell behind in all aspects.

This time, they were arranged to train with the Shenji Battalion, and they were beaten by the Shenji Battalion all the time, and no one dared to take the lead anymore.

Zhao Dezhao was afraid that there were too many soldiers in Hanjing Mansion, which would affect the local public security, and after some rectification, there was no major incident.

After more than half a month of military discipline training, the troop carriers transported the soldiers south in batches, and they will go along the Han River to Jingzhou, then turn the Xinglong River into Jingzhou, and then along the Yangtze River down Dongting Lake and into the Xiangjiang River.

For this southern expedition, the Great Song Dynasty mobilized almost all the ships in the Yangtze River basin and the Hanshui basin, and also built hundreds of new flat-bottomed boats.

After half a month of back and forth, Zhao Dezhao should also say goodbye to his wife and children and go south.
