"For the long-term peace and stability of our Great Song Dynasty, our country must form an army that can fight and win when called!" Zhao Huan said to the ministers present.

All the ministers knelt down in unison and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Wise, that is naturally wise, this is the slogan of the strong army in later generations, and now Zhao Huan uses the wisdom of more than a thousand years in later generations to compare with the elites of the Great Song Dynasty in front of him, and he is naturally a complete victory.

"I have simply formulated some regulations and decided to rectify our army, you can circulate them, tell us your views, and if there are no problems, then follow this method and implement them." Zhao Huan said and handed a stack of rice paper to Li Gang.

Li Gang took the document, read it through carefully, and then handed it to Zong Ze next to him.

After everyone read it in turn, all the ministers looked at Zhao Huan in front of them with some surprise, not knowing how he came up with these strange ideas.

1. To dismiss a part of the servicemen who are unwilling to stay in the army, a military commander should be appointed at the level of the commander of each army, with the same rank as the commander, who will be mainly responsible for the ideological education of the soldiers and teach them to be proud of serving the country.

2. Abolish the box army, only set up a forbidden army, and no private local army is allowed in all localities, and all armies are under the unified management of the front division of the palace and unified dispatch by the Privy Council.

Three......

sprinkled, Zhao Huan listed a total of 23 articles, that is, the 23 articles of the Song Army, which were often referred to in later generations.

After everyone finished reading it, they couldn't turn around for a while.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that in the future, all boys, when they reach the age of sixteen, must go to the barracks to have some training?" Li Gang asked.

Zhao Huan nodded and said: "The Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom have a total of tens of thousands of people, but they can beat hundreds of thousands of troops of our Song army, haven't you thought about the reason, the Jurchens are all soldiers, and we, soldiers are not soldiers, we can't fight, the people are not the people, we can't farm honestly, and the compulsory soldier system is implemented, in fact, it is also to ensure the foundation of soldiers for my Great Song Dynasty, if there is a war, then I am a million men in the Song Dynasty, pick up the big sword, that is a million male divisions!" ”

"Well said!" Yue Fei couldn't help but say excitedly when he heard what Zhao Hua said.

Everyone focused their eyes on Yue Fei, and Yue Fei realized his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, in this way, our Great Song Dynasty can also be a soldier for all the people, and no country will dare to bully us at that time." ”

Zhao Huan was very impressed by Yue Fei's compliments, and he said with a smile: "Tell me what you think, and see if there is anything else that needs to be added." ”

Zong Ze thought for a while and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, what is the position of this army?" ”

Zhao Huan explained: "Why there are so many deserters on our battlefield, a large part of which is because they do not have enough ideological understanding, do not know how to be polite, righteous and honest, this political commissar is to focus on the ideological education of the whole army, the so-called army to attack the strategy, the army to attack the city, only the whole army's ideology cohesion, in order to truly form a strong combat effectiveness." ”

Zhao Huan, who came from later generations, knows the great power of brainwashing, and has been taught to love his motherland since he was a child, so naturally there will be few traitors who flee from the battle, like the current Song Dynasty, and officers who abandoned the city and fled abound.

All the ministers present were a little stupid at this time, the person in front of him was really the prince Zhao Huan they were familiar with before, didn't he always be submissive and unenterprising? As soon as he took office, he suddenly got his senses and came up with so many strange things, and these ideas sounded very advanced.

"Your Majesty, the minister has no objection to this reform!" Li Gang took the lead and said.

The rest of the people also followed suit.

Zhao Huan slapped himself and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then let's implement this policy in accordance with it, I have only one request, that is, to implement these policies to the letter, if anyone dares to give me a discount like before, no one should plead for me, no matter who it is, it will be dealt with directly by military law!" ”

"Whoa!" The ministers received the order.

"Okay, then I will promulgate the appointment, Li Gang will be the privy envoy of the Privy Council, Zhao Ding will be the front secretary of the palace, and Han Shizhong will be the deputy secretary of the front ...... palace," Zhao Huan appointed, which can be regarded as a reward for meritorious deeds.

All the people who were called knelt down with joy to receive the order.

"In addition, the special forces Feiyu Army was established, with Yue Fei as the overseer." Zhao Huan suddenly added.

Yue Fei stood at the end of the crowd, because of age and qualifications, he has always felt that he is a little out of place with this group of people, and now when he hears Zhao Huan's appointment to everyone, it is impossible to say that he is not a little disappointed, although he knows that he is too young now to be qualified for any party, but he still has some hope in his heart, and now that he heard Zhao Huan's appointment, he was ecstatic, and hurriedly knelt down excitedly to thank him.

After the promulgation of the decree, as many as half of the Song Dynasty army was dismissed, but the rest of the people were all real soldiers, and the real combat effectiveness of the Song army was not weakened much.

This is also part of the reason why when the Jin army went south again, the falling flowers and flowing water that were killed by the Song army, of course, this is all a later story.

On the other side, Emperor Zhao Ji, his escape speed was not slow, and he had fled to Zhenjiang in a moment of smoke, but at this time, he heard that the Jin army had retreated.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed in his heart, his heart seemed to have wings, and he wanted to hurry up and return to Kaifeng, as a pampered emperor, when did he suffer from such a displacement, and after coming to Zhenjiang, the magistrate of Zhenjiang was not very enthusiastic about him, the emperor, which made him really unhappy, and he wanted to hurry up and return to Kaifeng.

So ten days later, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan met again in Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Ji walked on the street of Kaifeng Mansion, looking at the bustling crowd outside through the chariot, and always felt that Kaifeng seemed to have changed, but what had changed? Zhao Ji was a little speechless for a while.

"Cai Jing, do you have this feeling, as if Kaifeng is no longer the original Kaifeng?" Zhao Ji asked Cai Jing next to him and said.

Cai Jing, as a close minister beside Zhao Ji, naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Ji's words, he thought about it, and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, Your Majesty, you might as well go to Luoyang and recruit soldiers and horses in case the Jin army attacks again." ”
