The battle of Beicangshan has not yet begun, in this case, Cao Meng, Cao Hu, and Cao Long have all turned to Cao Biao's side, which means that the 40,000 Dragon Wing Army has finally joined the division.

When the 40,000 Dragon Wing Army met, this Jin army had almost no bows and arrows to shoot, so it could only choose close combat, but the biggest advantage of the Dragon Wing Army, which was as fast as a cunning rabbit, was medium and long distance, shooting, how could it give the enemy a chance to fight in close combat?

This vassal army is tragic, like a boxer waving his fist at the air, consuming huge physical strength, but the lethality is too limited, and it is simply led by the nose by the 40,000 dragon wing army.

This scene is simply a big stupid elephant facing a group of flying eagles, and the suspense of this pair is lost from the beginning.

Tragic, this group of soldiers is tragic, and it is also singable and crying, but after all, this is a war, there is only victory and defeat, there is no difference between pity and pity, tragedy and not tragedy.

Although they are brave and good at fighting, they are not Jurchens after all, this group of vassal army, when more than half of the casualties, Harihu was killed in battle, and when the dragons were leaderless, most of them chose to surrender, and a small number fled, and no one was willing to wait for death to harvest their heads.

The battle is over, this battle has taught the Dragon Wing Army a lesson, in the face of the tough cavalry, the Dragon Wing Army is not as strong as imagined, the ability to resist the attack is insufficient, it is not suitable for fighting a hard battle, and it is far inferior to the Han King Cavalry, maybe the development of the Dragon Wing Army is not as good as expected.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, but every day there will be carrier pigeons to send war reports and summaries of the war back.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty attaches great importance to the battle report ahead, even if it is late at night, it must be sent to the palace as soon as possible. Among them, especially the battle report of the Dragon Wing Army, the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to it, after all, this is the idea of the future development of the Han cavalry, if you want to sweep the world, this road must be unswervingly walked.

The configuration of the Mongolian cavalry in later generations is far from catching up with the current Dragon Wing Army, why can it sweep the world, all the way to the Danube, to the edge of Egypt, why is the well-equipped Dragon Wing Army so difficult to fight in the face of a vassal army that has always been only twice as large?

After all, the battle report was delivered by carrier pigeons, and the content was extremely concise, but Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, still read the abnormal atmosphere, the Han army's destruction of the Jin Kingdom was already the general trend, and the next step was to train the troops, after all, the expedition to the northwest, the difficulty coefficient did not know how many times to fight, in this case, he decided to drive the expedition in person and go to the front line to see what the dynamics were.

The army of the Dragon Guards also needs to be trained on the battlefield, and this Ten Thousand Dragon Guards is different from the Dragon Wing Army, and it is also different from the Han King Cavalry, it should be in between.

Mobility and speed may be slightly inferior to the Dragon Wing Army, but the degree of resistance and attack are comparable to those of the Han King Cavalry, and the comprehensive combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the Han King Cavalry.

Once the Dragon Guard rises, then the Han King Cavalry will be launched on the historical stage, its mission has been completed, there will be no more Tiefutu, Tielin Army, Iron Harrier such heavy cavalry in the future, and the Han King Cavalry against it has lost the direction of progress, and the adaptation is inevitable, after all, the Han King Cavalry is indeed not suitable for the people and money, and it cannot be promoted on a large scale.

After destroying the Jin State and sweeping the grasslands, the army will face the Western Liao light cavalry, Persian cavalry, etc., which are basically the opponents that the Longyi Army will face.

The fastest and most mobile Dragon Wing Army in the world is built on the Western Liao Light Cavalry.

Once the Western Liao is destroyed, if you go further west, you will face the ironclad warriors of Europe, and the heavy armor of these guys is simply an iron plate, which is very bulky, causing the cavalry to only charge into battle, and the mobility is very poor. At that time, the Mongolian light cavalry swept through Europe, because the Mongolian cavalry had strong mobility and good horse endurance, and finally dragged down the European ironclad cavalry.

No class is perfect, there will always be opponents to compete with and restrain them. The most fatal flaw of the ironclad cavalry, which has the first defensive power and impact power, is that it lacks endurance and speed, so it was swept away by the Mongolian cavalry.

Originally, the version of Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, who built the Dragon Wing Army, was the Mongolian cavalry of later generations, but after this battle, he found that maybe this idea was wrong, no matter how strong the mobility was, if the intensity of the attack was not enough, it would be difficult to bargain when he finally encountered an enemy with strong cavalry and archery ability and poor mobility like the Jin Army.

It's time to let the Dragon Guards go to the battlefield, maybe this army is the development idea of the future Han cavalry, in this case, the Han Emperor wants to drive the expedition in person.

100,000 cavalry, 100,000 infantry, plus 10,000 dragon guards, this is obviously to take the Jin country in one go, which adds a huge impetus to the war.

The Son of Heaven wanted to drive the expedition in person, and this time he was strongly opposed by the civil and military officials headed by the crown prince, and the princes and nobles.

Even, the harem ladies who have never interfered in internal affairs have sent representatives to Youzhou to persuade His Majesty to drive the expedition in person.

Among the harem mothers, Hua Langying, Hu Sanniang, Fang Baihua, Zheyue Xian, Zheyuexia, Liu Ruyan, Yang Miaozhen, etc., who had been torn and killed on the battlefield, all rushed to Youzhou.

Thousands of miles from the southern capital to the northern capital, it will take a month at the fastest speed of the ladies, and the purpose is very simple, that is, to drag down the pace of the Son of Heaven's personal expedition.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can the Son of Heaven wait for a month, and finally in order to take care of the emotions of the girls, the Son of Heaven ordered the Han Navy to pick up the ladies and go directly to Huludao, and the royal drive is only going to Huludao and will not take a step forward.

Compromise, the Son of Heaven is slippering, in this case, the ladies are embarrassed to say anything, and the civil and military officials can no longer refute it.

The crown prince knew that the military affairs were obviously dictatorial to his father, so he worked internal affairs, and worked hard to ensure that the grain and material resources were continuously sent to the battlefield.

Previously, it was 400,000 horses and horses in the four corps plus 100,000 sailors, and later it added 150,000 families in the Seventh Corps, and now the Son of Heaven is going to take 210,000 troops to the battle, with a total of 860,000 men and horses, plus 3 million people.

Half a year, at most half a year can end the battle, of course, the prince really has to prepare a year's salary, not only for the army, but also once the Jin country is occupied, it is also necessary to appease the people, which is also a huge number.

The territory of the Han Dynasty has exceeded that of the Song Dynasty, Dali, Western Xia, and Tubo, although it still retains the king, the court, and the army, but it has basically been assigned to the territory of the Han Dynasty, which is completely different from the Song Dynasty, not only that, the sixteen states of Youyun have returned to the Han Dynasty, and the economic situation in various places is unbalanced, and if you want the country to be stable, you must consider the economic development of each region.

Yu Yunwen's young champion talent has been fully displayed, although the qualifications are not enough, but the scholars know that this young man is the focus of the Son of Heaven, destined to be the important minister of the new dynasty of the prince, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a scholar.

The crown prince made drastic reforms with the assistance of Yu Yunwen, and in the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, he copied the system of the Song State, resulting in the redundant official system in the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, which was also forced by the situation.

Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has been fighting in the south and the north, almost for many years, in this state, there are too many people in the Han Dynasty who have made military achievements, too many, these people need to be resettled, after all, the Han Dynasty was founded, it is impossible not to resettle, and the Son of Heaven will not agree.

Now that there are redundant officials and redundant politics, this phenomenon is becoming more and more serious, even surpassing the Song Dynasty, and there is no way to deal with this point of the Han Dynasty, after all, it can't hurt the hearts of the front-line soldiers. However, now there is such a situation, that is, if this continues, the Han will repeat the mistakes of the past and become the next Song Dynasty, and sooner or later it will be dragged down by redundant officials.

What to do, at this time, the crown prince finally understood why his father announced the succession to himself in advance, mainly in internal affairs, his father has no energy to deal with it, after all, most of them are generals who follow his father to conquer the world, and his father can't bear to do this, so he can only leave it to the next son of heaven.

This is definitely something that offends people, the prince knows that this burden is very heavy, and of course he also knows that this is also a test for his father.

In fact, Liu Zhenglong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not simply throw the burden of thousands of catties to the prince, but still left a copy of the "Governing Outline", which actually recorded the system of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and also borrowed some governing strategies from later generations.

Short board, governing the country is obviously the biggest shortcoming of Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, although he is a human being in two lives, he was a killer and a mercenary in his previous life, and he lived a life on the edge of a knife, and he didn't read a lot. As soon as he debuted in this life, he was the peak, of course, this peak was the southern expedition and the northern war, and later he was called the jade-faced god of war.

Fighting a war and governing the country are two different things, fighting, Liu Zhenglong can be said to be the best and strategizing the countrymen, but governing the country, he feels powerless, among the many princes, it is obvious that the prince is not the best choice, but the prince does have certain achievements in governing the country, what is lacking is sharpening and training, which is why the Son of Heaven is in the prime of life, and the prince is in the prime of life.

At the beginning, the prince was afraid to show his head, for fear of being punished by his father, after the last father-son conversation, the prince finally understood his father's good intentions, he knew that the burden of a thousand catties fell on his head, his father was at most to give himself a ride, his father opened up the territory, and the governance of the country has to work hard.

Yu Yunwen, Hu Quan, Zhao Wei, Shi Hao and other Wenchen gradually surfaced, not only these Hanmen children, but also among the children of the Chinese military officials, there were also many young talents, and the entire Han presented a thriving situation, which reduced the prince's burden a lot.

Solving the problem of redundant officials is not as simple as the prince imagined, after all, they are some generals who came down from the battlefield, and some are Wenchen who came from the former dynasty, and they can't all be cleaned up in one go, not only that, but there are many young talents emerging every year, and the children of major families are diligent and studious, plus the titles exchanged by their ancestors, so that the number of redundant officials is unprecedentedly huge.

Shi Hao, the prince who is not well-known on weekdays, read a good note, and set a time limit for the fictitious officials, if they cannot pass the assessment and become regular, they will all be dismissed after a one-time compensation from the imperial court.

This trick has been recognized by some redundant officials, many people are not incapable, but they have no background, so they are waiting hard, it is better to participate in the imperial court assessment to decide to stay. Of course, more people are still opposed, after all, the number of admissions is limited, and it is too risky to participate in the assessment.

At this time, Zhao Wei thought of a way, that is, to promote some officials who have a certain ability and are willing to go to sea to one to three levels, go to serve overseas, and stipulate that Sandao can return to the Great Song Dynasty within five years, and this policy has been corresponded by many people.

Stay overseas for three years to upgrade to one level, stay for four years to upgrade to two levels, and wait for five years to upgrade to three levels. This is quite a good promotion channel for those who have no background, and now more officials will respond.

Zhu Zhihao, the son of Zhu Shengfei, a university scholar, proposed a plan involving the entire Han Dynasty, that is, the professors of the Taixue of the Han Dynasty, the doctors of the Taiyi Pavilion, the Academy of Sciences, the Military Academy, the Business School, the Engineering College, the Maritime College, etc., all awarded official titles, allowing those civil officials who are vacant to teach, and they can become local officials after three to five years.

Zhu Zhihao's plan is very good, but the scope is too wide, and the prince does not dare to make decisions without authorization, after all, it will cause the government and the opposition to shake if he does not do it, and finally he sent someone to tell the Son of Heaven that the Son of Heaven is still in charge of such a big matter.

The Son of Heaven had arrived in Huludao at this time, and he was very interested in the prince's recital, so he handed it over to Zhu Wu and asked this scholar to help him with his staff.

Zhu Wu is the best one among the generals in Liangshan, and the only one who is a university scholar.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhu Wu said: "Your Majesty, this will dispel the superiority of civil officials, and it will cause shock to the government and the opposition." However, this is indeed a long-term solution, but I think it will be better to modify it. ”

"Oh, let's hear it, there are only you and me here, so don't be restrained."

The reason why Liu Zhenglong, the Son of Heaven, said this means that Zhu Wu will not have scruples, this matter is destined to be the Son of Heaven's back from the black cauldron, anyway, it will not please the people of the world for a long time, and it doesn't hurt to do more.

"Your Majesty, the reason why civil officials will oppose it is mainly because of the Shinong industry and commerce, and for thousands of years, the eternal truth has been that civil officials are high, not only enjoy privileges, but also have a superior status. In the future, officials will be evaluated in a system in which those who are capable will be promoted, those who are mediocre will be demoted, and those who are mediocre will be transferred. The transition between actual and virtual positions is carried out according to the assessment. Instead of becoming a prefect, it is possible to be promoted to prefect after a while. The magistrate can also be transformed into a professor of Taixue according to the actual situation, and the professor of Taixue also opens a place to work, and this rotation breaks the idea of the official standard. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Wu really didn't dare to say any more, for fear that he would offend the officials of the world and eventually become a sinner in history.
