The sun and the moon are like shuttles, the summer is coming and the cold is coming, Li Ruoxue was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to twin babies, the male was named Zhao Yong, and the daughter was named Zhao Zhuo. The eighth battalion of Chengying, the commander of Zhao Xingde, has also been trained into the army, and the two children are just full-term, and Zhao Xingde received the military order issued by the General's Mansion to go to Liaodong. On the day of departure, Li Ruoxue was worried that the child would not be able to stand the cold wind, so she only sent it to her door. And Li Rui and Chen Youyi personally went to the camp of the Chengying Army to see off Xingde.

"As the saying goes, you should stay useful and improve your art industry to serve the land of Sangzi in Kanto." Li Rui looked at Zhao Xingde in the distance, he was wearing a black bear skin coat, sitting upright on the horse, "I really didn't expect that you would sacrifice your life to block arrows for Lord Yuan." ”

Chen Youyi's face was pale, this was the result of long-term bed rest, the assassin's arrow penetrated the lobes of the lungs, fortunately there was no poison, and he raised for more than half a year, the arrow wound gradually healed, he watched Zhao De lead the soldiers out of the camp slowly, and said in a low voice: "If this is not the case, thousands of workers will be killed innocently, and they will be in the hands of thieves." At that time, Lord Yuan was concerned about the interests and safety of hundreds of thousands of workers, which was where the great righteousness lies," he sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It is incumbent on him." He took a deep breath of cold air, but there was still a pain in the wound.

Zhao Xingde turned around and waved his hand to the two friends, lightly lifted the reins, and the war horse opened its four hooves and slowly moved forward. He was followed by 700 sergeants of the 8th battalion of Chengying, more than 200 cavalry sat on horses, and the rope behind him also led a war horse and a pack horse, behind him were 150 double-wheel carts, which were full of the baggage of the whole battalion, and half of the infantry were sitting on the carts, this team of 700 people would infiltrate into the Liao country from the Mobei land route, while the other 300 gunners rushed to Shu in advance, where they received the 30 artillery pieces that had been cast, and then transferred to Dali and Annan, and took the warship of the fourth battalion of Chengying in Yuntun Port in Zhennanbao, and went to Liaodong by sea.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Yi was busy dealing with the various requests from Guanzhong. After the promulgation of the "self-discipline law of workers and apprentices", Guanzhong's industry and commerce was undoubtedly a major earthquake and reshuffle, and all kinds of detailed rules, township covenants and problems emerged in an endless stream under the prefecture and county. After the Qiu Workshop case, the traitor Cao purged a group of corrupt officials in Guanzhong, and the number of newly promoted officials was slightly larger, and it still took time to slowly develop the experience of being independent.

There was a loud salute from the sergeant of the Tiger Wing Army outside, and Liu Yi looked up, but it was Zhang Shanfu, the general of the marching division, who pushed the door in. Zhang Shanfu said in a deep voice: "I just went to bid farewell to the eighth battalion of Chengying. He had a smile on his face.

Liu Yi smiled slightly and sighed: "The official has some regrets now, so it may be better for Zhao De to be trained in the Tiance Academy for a few years." "Although the status of civil officials is gradually becoming important, Xia is still a country that belongs to sergeants. Although Zhao De's time in the Protectorate Mansion was short, his unique vision when discussing the country was amazing, and many veteran lieutenants even remembered Liu Yi's performance when he was in the Protectorate Mansion.

"But Captain Zhao seems to be quite concerned about solving the crisis of the Han people in Liaodong." Zhang Shanfu said with a smile, in his eyes, although the Han people in Liaodong can be borrowed or even used, they are still very different from the Xia people themselves, "Even if he is allowed to go to Tiance Academy, I am afraid that he will not be as energetic as he will go to Liaodong, this is a war horse, not a horse that plows the ground, he should go to the battlefield in Liaodong." ”

"The general's special visit, is it just to show off his generals?" Liu Yi leaned back in the chair and stared at Zhang Shanfu, there were three teacups in front of him, seeing that Zhang Shanfu didn't seem to be leaving soon, he personally poured a cup of Shu tea for him, and the fragrance of tea rose with the water mist, showing a leisurely atmosphere. Xia Guo has solved several major problems, and now it has entered the stage of recuperation, and the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as tense as it was in previous years.

"Of course not." A hint of triumph flashed in Zhang Shanfu's eyes, he put the file in his hand in front of Liu Yi, and unceremoniously picked up the teacup and drank it, "Since the imperial court has interfered in the affairs of the apprentices, and there are relief families and protectors to win the hearts of the people, we plan to establish a regimental training army among the apprentices." I hope that the Prime Minister will support me a lot. The "we" in his mouth is the consultation opinion of several generals of the Great General's Mansion.

"These apprentices have never practiced martial arts, and the workshop is not as busy and orderly as the farmer's family, so I am afraid that it is a bit troublesome to find time to review and train at the same time." Liu Yi opened the file and looked at it at a glance, but his eyes suddenly froze, and he slowly muttered: "Use the union worker apprentice to train the fire gun stabbing spear army? Seeing this, he didn't look at the content behind it, and went directly to the last page of the file, which was signed with the name of Zhao De, the person who entered the plan.

Zhang Shanfu smiled proudly: "This is the plan made by the marching division before letting Captain Zhao go on the expedition. Although these apprentices were physically weak and did not know how to use the sword and crossbow, the firearms had low requirements for brawn, and with the addition of bayonets, they were able to resist the bow and crossbow from afar, and also engage in melee hand-to-hand combat. Moreover, those apprentices have developed the habit of being obedient in the workshop, which is suitable for practicing the art of unity and battle. ”

The workshop workers are relatively concentrated, and they are not scattered in the countryside like the state and county regimental training, and if they really train to become an army, the mobilization time will be much faster than that of the existing regimental training. It is only a practice of the apprenticeship, and it involves interfering with the contract of the merchant, and the workshop is busy at four o'clock in the year, and whenever the group practice is reviewed, it will affect the industrial and commercial tax. Liu Yi pondered and continued to flip through Zhao De's plan page by page, covering from the training of the fire gun and spear army itself, to the detailed plan of the 20-day training of the battalion as a unit, to how the imperial court could truly educate and convince the people through the relief department, so that they could integrate with the Xia country, eliminate the worries of the opposite, and make it self-defense, becoming another pillar of the country. The plan of more than 200 pages was written by Zhao De in his spare time when his wife was confined.

"This musket and field artillery are a perfect match," Zhang Shanfu added, "and the Chunyu Iron Works, which cast the new artillery, has already trial-produced a firearm that can be reloaded repeatedly, and the gun can be equipped with the same bayonet gun." Although there are a large number of apprentices, because it is a rotation training, the Ordnance Department only needs to order the first batch of 20,000 spears with a firing gun. He paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, there are 200,000 paper-wrapped ammunition needed for the firecracker." ”

"No wonder I came to the door," Liu Yi said secretly, "This cost is not small, the ammunition is gone as soon as it sounds, unlike arrows that can be used repeatedly, and the apprentices are poor, so it is impossible for them to buy ammunition by themselves, unlike the state and county regiments to train the army, for more than a hundred years, farmers have bows and crossbows and arrows." If the fire and bayonet regiments were to train the army, the cost of this ammunition would be every year. When the cannons and guns were fired, the money went out like flowing water, and the burden on the court was not small. He closed the file and said with a wry smile: "This official regrets more and more that he didn't transfer Zhao De to Tiance Academy. ”

At dusk, in the Bianliang Vertical Arch Hall of the Great Song Dynasty, the third prince Zhao Qi was listening to his father's instructions.

This is the eleventh year of Xuanhe, Zhao You is diligent and indulgent, and he takes Jindan, and his face is a little gray. However, his imperial mind has also become more and more sophisticated, not only is it becoming more and more difficult for Cai Gongxiang to guess His Majesty's thoughts, but the Qingliu officials in the court have gradually been tamed by His Majesty, and even acquiesced to the momentum of the third prince replacing the crown prince in the East Palace.

"That Fujian son Chen Dong is a talent, but unfortunately he is unruly, and I deliberately suppress them. Leave it for you to use in the future," Zhao You said slowly, with a trace of regret in his eyes, he admired Zhao Xingde even more, but unfortunately this son does not seem to be used by the imperial court, and he is still incognito, and he doesn't know what to do, "After I return to heaven, you can put away your heart with a little favor." His eyes slowly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "But remember, Chen Dong is sharp, too arrogant, and a capable minister, but he must not be allowed to be in a position to control the power, otherwise, there will be a worry of usurping the monarch's power." ”

Just two days ago, the head of the world's clear stream, the son of the country passed away when he was sacrificing wine Yang, and Zhao You gave the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and Wenjing to Zhen. When Yang Shi was alive, he was old and strong, which was a strong order, which made Zhao You feel quite a headache, and he was afraid of his reputation in Shilin, so he gave him to be in the Guozi Prison and avoided it when he had nothing to do. Now that Yang Shi is dead, it makes him extremely grieved, which is also the meaning of buying horse bones. Zhao You specially asked the third prince Zhao Qi to go to mourn Yang Shi on his behalf, and read out the holy decree and posthumously presented the official title, which was also the heart of the people who let him receive scholars. Before leaving, he also specially instructed him on how to control the courtiers.
