Chen Cang and Qin Yue led the team to stand in front of the point general's platform, marched and saluted, and shouted long live.

I didn't hear Guo Rong's instructions, but I saw Zhang Yongde waving the command flag in his hand.

Chen Cang raised the nine-ring Pu knife high and ordered loudly: "Turn to the left, line up, and engage the enemy......"

The team immediately dispersed, and the fifty heavily armored warriors of the Blood Killing Team stepped forward ten steps, half of their bodies lined up in two rows and half squatting.

Eighty crossbowmen divided into three teams and stepped forward, the first row of twenty crossbowmen crouched behind the armor and placed the crossbow directly on the armor soldier's shoulder, while the two rows of crossbowmen in the back staggered two steps away.

Chen Cang shook the nine-ring knife again, making a crisp sound of "Zheng", and when he got the order, the twenty crossbows pulled the trigger, and the crossbow bolts shot out, and they immediately bowed down and began to load the crossbow.

At the same time, the crossbow arrows in the second row "buzzed" out flat, and immediately began to lie down on the crossbow again, and when the second row bent down, the crossbow arrows in the third row also happened to be off the string.

After the three crossbows were fired, the first row was wound and the trigger was pulled again.

However, after a dozen breaths, the three teams released three arrows in a row, and then quickly dispersed left and right, and the Changsheng battalion, which had been prepared, started to run, and rows of throwing spears were thrown out.

At this time, Chen Cangfang shouted: "Get up." ”

The armor of the blood killing team stood up, and the Pu knife in his hand made a uniform downward slashing action, shouting: "Kill ......"

One step at a time, like a mountain of advancement, murderous.

The spearman behind them threw his spear again, and the spear flew over their heads with a whistling and landed the floor in front of them.

After throwing their spears three times, the spearmen drew their short knives, and their spears and shields rushed up together, protecting the two wings of the armor to fight.

……

Guo Rong on the stage gasped and asked left and right: "If it is one battalion against one battalion, can the battalions on the left and right sides win?" ”

Zhang Yongde's face was a little unsightly, and he said astringently: "It's difficult." ”

A majestic general with a full body said: "If you really fight, it is estimated that it will take two battalions, although our forbidden army is well-equipped, but the old and weak are uneven, half of them are old and frail people, if you encounter this crossbow arrow spear, the armor will be strangled, and it will be difficult to resist the enemy for a while." ”

Guo Rong nodded and said, "I have always had the intention to eliminate the weak, choose the brave, and today I am strong-willed.

I heard that Song Qing is obsessed with martial arts, and it is estimated that he also has experience in selecting soldiers, this matter, you catch it for me, start with Long Jie and Hu Jie of the Guard Division, and streamline the ...... of the army."

This general surnamed Song is Song Jiuzhong, who has not been in charge of the palace for a short time, he is twenty-seven years old, and it is best to dance with guns and sticks, and he is brave and fierce.

He is cautious and steady, the same age as Zhang Yongde, and his temperament is compatible, and he has been recommended as his deputy since the Hedong class returned to Beijing.

Song Jiuzhong wanted to agree, and the privy envoy Wei Renpu had already hurriedly advised: "Holy Lord, is this matter a long-term consideration?" ”

"Don't worry about Wei Xiang, although the army is streamlined, as long as it is properly trained, its strength will be prosperous."

“…… But this soldier can't be eliminated, and if the strength of the forbidden army is greatly damaged, it will be disadvantageous to the country. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Guo Rong said angrily: "Now the guards are half old and half old, strong and cowardly, covering favoritism, showing bravery, and using the old and the old, while those who are cowardly and cannot strive for themselves cannot choose to practice."

This spring, I met Liu Chong and the Liao army in Gaoping, and the enemy had instructions to do not former, if it were not for my relatives to be in the battle, I would have been defeated.

Such a ban on the army must be punished.

What's more, hundreds of farmers have not been able to support a soldier, keeping these old and weak, spending money and food in vain, and the soldiers are not in the public, it is better to re-select, the elite are promoted to the army, and the cowardly are allowed to be safe, and they can be used in the long period, and it is not in vain.

As for the shortage, each military town selected a soldier to fill it. Song Qing, you will help me do a good job of this level, for half a year, and then I will try it out in person. ”

"No."

"Hug one, wait for the Huya Battalion to finish, call Qin Yue over, and I will question him face to face."

"No."

……

"The Holy One has arrived."

Empress Fu was checking the middle branch of the palace, and when she heard this, she immediately put down the pen in her hand and got up to greet her. Just went down the steps, and saw Guo Rong striding towards him with a meteor full of dust.

"Holy Lord, why is it so early today?"

Guo Rong said with a smile: "I came back from the North Gate Schoolyard, and if I was hungry, I came back early to eat, and saw if there were meatballs and steamed them." ”

"The dignified king of a country actually cravets folk side dishes, and it has become a joke when it is passed out."

The queen took the basin brought by the palace maid, personally wrung the towel and handed it over, Guo Rong took it, rubbed it a few times, felt uncomfortable, and threw the water in the face plate with her hand.

Changed into household clothes, took the teacup in the queen's hand, took a sip, paced to the bookcase, saw that the table was actually the palace daily booklet, flipped through it casually, and found several deleted remarks, Guo Rong sighed with emotion: "You are the mother of a country, but you still have to worry about these trivial matters, alas! ”

The queen panicked: "Don't say that, these affairs are the duty of the concubines, and you have been busy all night in the past year, sometimes even all night, and the concubines can't help with other things." ”

"Well, we need to reduce expenditure, but we can't blindly save, and open source is more important. The necessary royal dignity still has to be maintained, isn't there 500,000 yuan in the first two days, and it should be used. ”

The queen smiled bitterly: "There are only more than 300,000 dollars in silver, and the rest are all discounted prices for jewelry, how can it be realized so quickly for a while." Yesterday, the Holy Lord sent an envoy to fill the river, and another 200,000 ...... were transferred from the palace at once."

Guo Rong patted his forehead and said, "I forgot, so let's tighten it tighter." The big river bursts year after year, spreads for hundreds of miles, along the river states, the drifting fields are incalculable, if you don't take advantage of this early winter when the water is small to fill and repair, change the water and return to the stream, and wait for next year it will be really difficult to do. ”

"Alright, alright." The queen said coquettishly: "The concubine doesn't understand the major affairs of the country, but the small things in the palace, you don't have to worry about the saints, the meals are served, let's eat." ”

Four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables. The queen ate a small half bowl with her, but Guo Rong was hungry, maybe he was really hungry for the steamed meatballs, but he even drank the soup cleanly.

Guo Rong hiccuped, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "You don't have to worry too much about money, at most, there will be new income in more than a month." ”

"What's in?"

"The 500,000 in the first two days was captured by the ninth battalion of the left chamber of the front division of the palace in Meng County, and others suppressed the bandits and lost the soldiers and consumed food, but his battalion made all the money, I agreed today, and promoted his battalion to an independent battalion, called Huya, and then full-time bandits, sixty percent of them were captured and returned to the palace, and forty percent were used to raise soldiers."

The queen was stunned and said, "Captured and returned to the palace?" Is this in line with the imperial court system? How does it sound like a deal. ”

Guo Rong laughed and said, "It's a deal." As early as the battle of Hedong, he used buying and selling as an analogy to war, and later he also had suggestions on building a city, and now he has used his actions to prove that this person has the head of a profiteer. But I didn't know that I was the home where I started to do business. ”

"As for whether it fits the system or not, this thing is right, if it goes into the treasury, it is exploited layer by layer, and in the end I don't know how much is left, I thought about it again and again, and agreed.

In this difficult period, the family and the country are one, as long as it is beneficial to strengthen the army and rejuvenate the country, there is no defense against one or two. The left and right are just an independent battalion of 500 people, and they are regarded as family soldiers.

But I'm interested in the army, not the money. Today's military drill on campus proves that it is advisable to disarm elite troops. I have decreed that the armies should be streamlined......"

The queen was shocked: "Disarmament, the situation is not at peace at this time, how to make it?" ”

Guo Rong sighed: "It is this layer of concerns, I have the heart of disarmament when I come back from Hedong, but I don't dare to do it, but today's five-hundred-year-old young man of the Huya Battalion can open my eyes, if I eliminate the old and weak, it is also a good thing to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Huang patted his chest and said with relief: "If you only eliminate the old and weak, it's okay to say, but how to kill two birds with one stone?" ”

Guo Rong rubbed his temples lightly and replied: "First, the soldiers are not expensive, and second, these eliminated people just happened to reclaim the wasteland, and the imperial court allocated seeds and ploughed cattle, and insisted on it for a year, and in the autumn, there was an entry." ”

The queen took a small cup from the palace maid's hand and handed it to Guo Rong, "I haven't heard of any emperor who plans to plate all day long, so who is considered to have voted for you, the little chicken soup stewed in gastrodia is good for headaches." ”

Guo Rong frowned and took the cup, "It's a big headache, just get some sleep." ”

With that, he shook his head and drank the soup down.
