The transformation of Liangshan Caokou is very important to the King of Han, this group of people are double-edged swords, and they are all heroes when they are used well, and they can fight bravely to kill the enemy when they go to the battlefield, throw their heads for the Han Kingdom, spill blood, and shroud in horse leather, at any cost. If it is not used well, it is the cancer of the army that will cause military discipline to be sloppy, and a plate of scattered sand will drag down the entire Han army and eventually become a grass coward.

If you want to rectify military discipline, you can't just borrow the heads of a few people, say a few words of righteousness and awe-inspiring, a few words of brotherhood, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Chao Gai didn't understand this, and Song Jiang didn't understand. But how can you not understand that you are determined to fight the king of Han in the world, this is the meaning of the Ministry of Military Justice.

When the generals of Liangshan made a blood oath to support the Ministry of Military Justice, King Han was expressionless, and he did not mean to let everyone get up, as if all this was not over, but had just begun.

Xu Ning, Pang Wanchun, Wang Yin, Yue Fei, Niu Gao, Dong Xian, Zhang Xian, Shan Shiqi, Shi Bao and other generals also knelt down and swore a blood oath. The proud soldiers are brave and invincible on the battlefield, but they have always been an unstable factor for the country, and these generals made a blood oath in order to rectify military discipline, which is the beginning of the establishment of the Han army.

King Han still didn't say anything.

Fold can be begged, Cao Chai, Pan Jing, Shi Zhi, Gao Qi, these important ministers are a little restless at this time, even if you think about it with your toes, you can know what the King of Han means, the Han Dynasty is based on military force, and the military has the supreme position, and the Great Song Dynasty is a world of difference, but it does not mean that the soldiers can do whatever they want, and it does not mean that the Han Dynasty allowed the situation of the division of feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Even the situation of the Northwest General Gate of the Great Song Dynasty was not allowed to appear.

The premise of the supremacy of the military is under the constraints of the Ministry of Military Justice, at this time, as the Minister of the Ministry of Military Justice, Pan Jing understood that the four most important departments of the army were ostensibly handed over to the four major families, but the four families could not do whatever they wanted, and if they wanted to survive in the Han Kingdom, they must first accept the constraints of the Ministry of Military Justice, otherwise, even if the queen and the crown prince were born in the Pan family, there is still the possibility of being uprooted.

Putting the rules in front and the power is unlimited below, it is equivalent to a slap in the face and a sweet date to eat. It's better than Zhao Kuangyin's shameless cup of wine to release the military power, the Pan family is the victim, Pan Jing finally chose to give in, he can understand the mood of the King of Han, and he will not allow the military to be added to the imperial power as a king.

"As the head of the Ministry of Military Justice, and at the same time as a child of the Pan family, he expressed his position to His Majesty that the head of the Pan family and the children below will support the Ministry of Military Justice without exception, and act under the constraints of military law.

Pan Jing knelt on the ground, he knew that this kneeling was important to the future of the Pan family. Otherwise, if the Pan family has a prince and queen in the future, the life of the Pan family will be even more difficult. The dictatorship of relatives has always been a royal taboo, and the Pan family is clear about this.

Seeing Pan Jing kneeling on the ground and expressing his position, the King of Han didn't seem to see it, in this case, Cao Chai couldn't sit still, the Cao family has not contributed anything to the Han Kingdom, but the King of Han still gives the Cao family enough respect and gives the Pan family the same treatment, although the queen and the crown prince are all from the Pan family, but the imperial concubine is reserved for the Cao family, you must know that the King of Han is still young, at least thirty years will not change anything, to put it bluntly, everything is possible.

If the power of the Cao family cannot be restrained, then it will either eventually lead to the path taken by the current Han king, or it will be uprooted. The Cao family does not have the strength to win the world, nor does it have the power to dominate the world, if it is carried hard, it will not be beneficial to the Cao family. Besides, the Pan family has already expressed its position, and there is not much room left for the Cao family to maneuver.

Cao Chai pondered for a long time and then knelt on the ground, he kowtowed one after another, and said very seriously: "As the minister of intelligence, the son of the Cao family, here to express his position to His Majesty and even the 500,000 troops of the Han Kingdom, the Cao family's own master to the children below without exception, support the Ministry of Military Law, support the military law, if there is a violation, the military law will act. ”

The Shi family has always followed closely behind the Cao family, and it has always been like this for one hundred and sixty years, and today is no exception. Even the Cao family bowed their heads, and the Shi family still had something to insist on. Shi Zhi knelt on the ground and said that the Shi family was willing to accept the constraints of military law without exception and swore to defend the Ministry of Military Justice to the death.

The Gao family was embarrassed, but Gao Qi was not a diehard, and he finally chose to give in for the sake of his daughter. At this time, the most embarrassing thing is to ask for it, he represents the Northwest General, this kneeling is equivalent to closing the door of the Northwest General's Gate to the King of Han. Of course, the king of Han did not take a fancy to the Western Army, and did not think that the Western Army could pose any threat to the Han Army.

What are the consequences of not kneeling? Zhe Keqiu thought about many possibilities, and in the end he still chose to expand the territory for the Great Song Dynasty in the future and tear the soil to seal the king.

Zhe Keqiu knelt on the ground and made a blood oath, and 50,000 Zhe family soldiers will fight for the Han Dynasty.

"The Minister's family is flat, the Ministry of Military Justice is not only a mantra on your head, but also a talisman for soldiers, in the Han Kingdom, the country is established by the military, everything is military-oriented, and local officials are also served by soldiers. This is destined to be attacked by civilian officials, as long as you do not violate military law, then military law is a talisman for you to get, no matter how much dirty water is poured outside, I will not punish soldiers, you will be protected by military law, understand? ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The Han army established the country with military force, and the Ministry of Military Justice took the lead, which set a precedent and created an era.

After the generals got up, King Han continued: "The deputy ministers of the other three ministries should briefly talk about it, otherwise, everyone will be hungry today." ”

Laughing, the tense atmosphere just now suddenly eased a lot.

When the three ministers finished speaking, Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, said: "In addition to the above four departments, there is another department in the army, that is, the General Staff Headquarters, I personally served as the minister, and the old general Zhi served as the deputy minister. ”

Needless to say, the General Staff Headquarters is also above the four departments, because King Han personally serves as a concurrently responsible officer, but as a deputy minister, he is not very clear about the responsibilities of the General Staff Headquarters. But it is impossible to make sure that he knows that the First Corps in charge of him is going to be handed over.

King Han personally explained the significance of the existence of the General Staff Headquarters, and this talk was an hour.

After finishing speaking, King Han said with a smile: "It seems that today's meeting is a bit long, it's okay, after lunch, the meeting continues." Today, I have issued an edict that in the future, soldiers will not kneel when they see me, but only salute, and of course I will return the salute to you. The same is true of you, who have only high and low positions in the army, and there is no distinction between high and low. ”

At lunchtime, the generals were discussing the matter of military salutes, but there was no discussion about the establishment of the five headquarters of the army.

There is another matter that is the core of everyone's discussion, that is, this time to gather all the generals from the outside back, there is definitely a big thing to announce, and it is definitely not as simple as announcing the establishment of the five headquarters.

The first thing we discussed in the afternoon was to disrupt the original military system and start using numbers. Now the total strength of the Han army is 650,000, which has surpassed the Jin State in terms of quantity, but that is only in quantity, in fact, it is of little significance, after all, the 650,000 Han army is not enough to catch up with the combat effectiveness of the 500,000 Jin army, just like the Great Song Dynasty still has a million army, once the war starts, the Song army will still flee.

King Han announced: "The 650,000 army includes 350,000 cavalry, plus 10,000 heavy cavalry, 240,000 infantry, and 50,000 sailors. The Han Dynasty cavalry was the first army, the 50,000 infantry stationed in Jingzhaofu were the second to sixth armies, and the 50,000 naval armies were the seventh to eleventh armies. The remaining infantry was from the 12th to the 30th Army, and the cavalry from the 31st to the 65th Army. We are now focusing on deployment in Yunzhou, Taiyuan, and Luoyang. Only if there is no large corps, only according to the needs of the war, the General Staff Headquarters will mobilize and command the army, and every major battle will have a corresponding responsible person; in addition, the commanders of each army are the responsible persons of each army, directly responsible to the General Staff Headquarters, and accept the leadership of the General Staff Headquarters. ”

Yunzhou is too far away from the Song State and basically does not participate in the active attack, so it is mainly defensive, garrisoning 100,000 troops, of which half are infantry and cavalry, and Taiyuan Mansion will be the main battlefield, garrisoning 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry. Luoyang is in the territory of the Song Kingdom, and it can be regarded as the only place that needs to be actively attacked. 200,000 cavalry were stationed, and the rest of the army was stationed on the Hedong Road. The navy is still suspended overseas, and it will not participate in the war before counterattacking the Jin State.

King Han continued: "The Hanjin War is not a short battle that can be decided, it will take at least five years or even longer, so we must be prepared to fight a protracted war. Once the war starts, I will drive to Luoyang, Xijing, command the Central Plains battlefield, Zhe Keqiu Lao General will be in charge of the Yunzhou defensive battle, Hebron will go to Taiyuan Mansion, Wang Yu will be in charge of the defense of Taiyuan, and Hebron will be in charge of the all-out battle of Hedong Road. ”

"No, I'm against it."

Zhi Keqiu dared to do so, but he quickly realized his identity and position, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The gentleman is not under the wall, Your Majesty, how can you go to Xijing with your own risk?" The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated and the ministers die. Let Your Majesty sacrifice his life to risk going to Xijing will be the greatest shame for the 650,000 Han army, and the minister does not agree with His Majesty's risk, and I believe that the 650,000 Han army will not agree either. ”

"The ministers reconsider, we would rather spill blood on the battlefield than risk your majesty's life."

The generals fell to their knees, and the lowest people who could participate in this military meeting were military commanders, and everyone knew how much military pressure Luoyang would face in Xijing, and what the King of Han portended in Xijing, which everyone knew very well.

Liu Zhenglong, the king of the Han Dynasty, was also reluctant to take risks, but looking at the following generals, who could withstand the attack of the Jin State, you must know that the strength of the Jin State is not the military strength, but the brave and warlike generals of the Wanyan family.

"All the secretaries, please get up." After the generals got up, the king of Han said: "The Han country is established by military force, and there is no exception for me, if my generation cannot destroy the Jin army, then the prince and the emperor will go into battle to kill the enemy." Not only that, Concubine Liang, Concubine Liu, Concubine Zhe and other concubines will all throw themselves into the battlefield, and it is their mission to sprinkle blood. Even if the Great Han Kingdom fights until there is only one person left, it is its responsibility to destroy the Jin Kingdom. Although there are three households in Chu in ancient times, the death of Qin will be Chu. Today, there are hot-blooded men of the Han Dynasty, who swear to defend the Han Dynasty to the death. ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray."

The generals burst into tears, everyone knew that it was hypocritical to persuade the King of Han to return to the imperial capital at this time, so he said so much useless nonsense, it was better to fight the enemy on the battlefield.

Seeing the blood of the generals below, King Han continued: "The world is not mine, it is 650,000 Han troops, and we will fight together for the Han Dynasty." ”

"Fight for the Great Han, Fight for the Great Han."

After the meeting, Shi Zhi, the minister of the equipment department, and Ling Zhen, the vice minister, stayed.

King Han motioned for Shi Zhi and Ling Zhen to sit down and said, "Then do you understand my intentions? ”

"Understood." Shi Zhi is a person with real skills, but he did not rely on the status of the family to get to this point, he pondered for a moment and said: "The Han army is not as good as the Jin army In fact, once a full-scale war starts, it will fall into a comprehensive passivity, and what is even worse is that once the Song army can't bear the heavy pressure of the Jin army, it is likely to take refuge in the Jin army, at that time, it is equivalent to our 650,000 army against 500,000 Jin army, one million Song army, which is equal to the Han army is one enemy and three." If we don't do it, there will be a possibility that the Han army will be wiped out, and in this case, our Han army must be fully prepared. Since Your Majesty has decided to go to war, you will definitely make complete preparations, and our armament department has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"Very good, very good, Minister Shi really understands my good intentions." King Han didn't plan to go around in circles, he said: "I have about 10,000,000 yuan of wealth, one-third of which is used for logistical support, one-third for recruiting and training new troops, and the other one-third for you. Whether the Han can defeat the Jin army is not how many soldiers are recruited, nor how perfect the logistics support is, but whether the equipment can be improved. Five years before the task of slaying the horse sword, I had already told the head of the Shi family, I don't know how it will go, when will I be able to equip the army, and when will the first horse slashing army be formed? ”

On the surface, it was an inquiry, but in fact, the King of Han was already very dissatisfied with the Shi family, and Shi Zhi knew that he had changed from the commander of the four major corps to the minister of the four major ministries, and on the surface, he was promoted and had a high position, but he could not directly take charge of the army. The Han State only has a military commander, no corps commander, that is to say, the generals of the Han Dynasty are in charge of a maximum of 10,000 soldiers, and they are all professional soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

Shi Zhi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "The sample has come out, maybe there is still a gap with Datang's Mo knife, but it is okay to cut horses and people, but it's just nothing." ”。

"It's just that it's easy to break, that is to say, after killing the Jin cavalry, the horse sword will be abolished, and the soldiers will be killed by the Jin army, basically losing both."

Speaking of this, Shi Zhi's legs fell to the ground weakly, and this kneeling was regarded as a confession for the Shi family.
