"In this way," Shi Tingjian nodded, and said worriedly, "It is quite inappropriate for Lu Fuxiu to sit on the great name and be willing to abide by the customs. ”

After the Great Gift Discussion, Lu Yunsun openly declared that the ministers who swore were all chaotic ministers and thieves, thieves and thieves. He will never be in the same stream as him, and he will not follow the rules of the Ministry of Rites to choose the clear stream method of self-discipline. Lu Yunsun insisted that only when people's hearts are free can they perceive the heart of heaven. And Wu Zilong and others want to determine the right and wrong of the people in the world with their own right and wrong, and teach the foolish people with their name. The so-called self-discipline in choosing the law is actually "a dog barking and many dogs barking". He wants to bind the living by death, so that the people of the world are stubborn in the law of etiquette.

The so-called supreme good is not hypocritical, and there is nothing to do. The peach and plum do not speak, and the next is its own. Therefore, Lu Yunsun not only did not write an oath himself, but also called on the people of the world to be self-disciplined, but he would never write an oath and submit it to the imperial court. Among the gentry in the southeast, there are also many who are dissatisfied with the choice of law and self-discipline, and they have echoed it, and in addition to the "clear stream" and "gentleman", they have called for "royalty", which is unique.

"yes." Shi Tingjian shook his head and sighed, "In Chuzhou, because of Lu Fuxiu, it is easy to live in a comfortable place, and many gentry do not write oaths. On the contrary, Han Shizhong, who was stationed in Chuzhou, went to the court and was willing to self-discipline with the "Gentleman's Law". In his opinion, Han Shizhong was the first among the generals to claim self-discipline with a clear stream, which is commendable. As for abiding by the "Song Rite Law" or the "Gentleman's Law", it doesn't matter, maybe Han Shizhong doesn't even know the difference between these two rites.

"Lu Fuxiu?" Wu Zilong's eyes were slightly cold, and he said: "He is cutting himself off from the clear stream of the world!" ”

The warm sun shines on people's laziness. On the field of the Luoyang regimental training colonel, every drill soldier did not dare to be lazy, and every officer was covered with frost and did his best to drill the army. Because, the prince of Xia Guo, Chen Chong has been nailed to the training ground in Luoyang's group training. Chen Chong's face sank all day long, wearing a thin military robe that was dusty, patrolling back and forth on the training ground, and when he found anyone who neglected his duties, he punished him mercilessly. Its severity reminded many of the former Song officers of Zhou Shizong.

After Luoyang returned to Xia, the Protectorate gave twenty captains and 10,000 sergeants. The remaining Song army merged with the regimental training battalion and was under the jurisdiction of the Luoyang regimental training envoy. Although the Song army also practiced formation and firearms, it was not as specialized as the regimental training battalion. The command of the Song army was dismantled, and it was forbidden to use the old names between the superiors and subordinates. In almost every ten-member team, there are nearly half of the veteran regiment training as the backbone. In order to strengthen the obedience of the Song army, Chen Zhong also deliberately strengthened the training of the new army. Based on the drill code written by Zhao Xingde for the fire battalion, the head of the new military camp immediately fell into the training ground that made life worse than death.

Chen Zhong set an example, for more than half a year, the 80,000 regiments of troops were trained at the beginning of the hour, sorted out internal affairs, and then lined up to go to the colonel's field for morning exercises, after the morning exercises, they had dinner at the hour, and after the meal, they gave lectures on military regulations, and then began the training of various drill actions: stabbing with guns, stabbing with guns, standing guns, loading ammunition, racking guns, ignition, firing, and cleaning up firearms...... At noon, the soldiers had half an hour to eat and rest, and in the afternoon they practiced marching in horizontal formations, marching in columns, pushing artillery, changing between phalanxes and circular formations, forming emergency formations during attacks, digging trenches, building barracks, climbing mountains, crossing rivers, and besieging cities...... After dinner, the officers used the rules and regulations as a textbook to teach the soldiers to read and write, and if they had spare time, they taught them the laws and regulations of the Kansai region, and did not turn off the lights and rest until the end of the day.

From morning to night, day after day, month after month, the regimental training soldiers did not know the world outside the training ground. Even when sleeping, you have to hold a firearm, and you may pretend to be enemy cavalry to kick the camp, and you have to jump out of the bed to form an emergency formation. The complaints were not unfounded, but they were quickly suppressed by severe punishments. Tens of thousands of sergeants such as the White Feather Army and the Iron Bone Army were stationed in Luoyang, and it was impossible to make an uproar. Half a year has passed, and after the regimental training soldiers began to adapt to this kind of life, they occasionally did not practice one day, but had nothing to do, and their bodies were itchy. A large number of officers who were discovered and promoted by Chen Zhong were loyal to him. The influence left behind by the Song and Cao families in the army has been weakened to the point of being minimal, and a new order has been established.

Yuan Xingzong walked hurriedly, stopped outside the school field, and looked carefully.

As Luoyang Ling, he didn't feel that stepping into the school field was a loss of identity. In order to encourage morale, Chen Chong wore the military uniform of an ordinary soldier, except for a few officers who were training soldiers, all the guards of the Tiger Wing Army were left on the edge of the school field, and they were not allowed to give military orders and could not step into the school field. Although the soldiers continued to sprinkle water on the school field, the large school field where tens of thousands of soldiers practiced was still dusty, Yuan Xingzong stood on the side, pulled the ten commanders of the Tiger Wing Army and asked, "Where is His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"There—" Feng Shangzong pointed to a figure in the dust, and said loudly, "The regimental training has given the adults an order, except for the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, outsiders are not allowed to step into the school field for half a step." Yuan Xingzong unconsciously increased his voice: "If there is an emergency, help me call His Highness!" "Good!" Feng Shangzong replied louder, gave a military salute to Luoyang Ling, and then ran towards the middle of the school field at a trot.

Yuan Xingzong smiled bitterly and shook his head. It is rumored in the DPRK that the day of Chen Chong's ascension to the throne is getting closer and closer. The royal family of Xia has always been martial, but since the founding of the country and the second emperor of Weiyuan, the emperor has fewer and fewer opportunities to conquer in person. After ascending the throne, Chen Zhong did not have so much time to train his soldiers and horses. These sweaty regimental training soldiers were the last victims of Chen Chong's addiction before he ascended the throne. However, as far as Yuan Xingzong knows, Chen Chong is not a person who is obsessed with the territory and ignores the overall situation.

"Lord Yuan." Chen Chong walked over and said with a smile: "What's the matter with finding Ben General?" ”

"Your Highness," Yuan Xingzong deliberately bit this identity and said in a low voice, "General Zhao has been promoted to the Pillar State. ”

"Okay," Chen Zhong asked casually while wiping his sweat stains on his face, "How many people have elected him?" ”

With Zhao Xingde's prestige, Chen Chong was not surprised that he was promoted as a pillar country by the Kwantung people. After Luoyang and Fangzhou were surrendered, the two governments considered it for a long time, and while limiting the number of captains and sergeants, they still gave the newly recruited people the right to elect one pillar for every 100,000 people. The election of the Pillar State is a right that can only be exercised once by the people of the Xia Kingdom. Those who are elected by more than 100,000 people become pillar states. When the old pillar kingdom falls, his supporters can re-elect the pillar kingdom again. Someone in the Protectorate proposed that the Kwantung people should only be able to elect one pillar country for every 500,000 people, but such a clear gap would be a big disappointment. Zhu Guofu thought about it again and again, considering that there were only more than 1 million new people and more than 800,000 adult men and women, it still decided to maintain the ratio of one person for 100,000 people.

The new people of Kanto have never experienced a nomination. Luoyang Mansion specially arranged a large number of soldiers and Confucian scholars to go deep into the neighborhoods and villages to explain to the people how to elect the pillar country. Because of the threshold of 100,000 people, ordinary squires and wealthy families cannot become pillar countries no matter how they use their means. In the whole of Luoyang, the Cao family has this strength.

"560,000 people", Yuan Xingzong looked incredulous, "560,000 people elected Zhao Yuanzhi!" ”

When the Dongren Society spontaneously created momentum for Zhao Xingde, he also adopted a tacit attitude. Dongning Hou Cao Xi also widely contacted old friends, and it was bound to win. Chen Chong and Yuan Xingzong naturally didn't want Cao Xi to be dominant, and secretly connived at the Dongren Society to call on the people to elect Zhao Xingde as the pillar country. However, the move turned out to be out of control. After Zhao Xingde recovered Bianliang, his prestige in Henan was so high that it was unparalleled for a while. Luoyang and Bianliang are close to the deceased, even if the villagers who do not leave the village for life, when they talk about Zhao Xingde, they also praise him, saying that he is a real loyal and good person. The people didn't know how many people there were, but with a little call from the Dongren Society, they all elected Zhao Xingde as the pillar country, and he was rarely elected by more than 500,000 people. In contrast, Cao Xi, the Marquis of Dongning, was only elected by 140,000 people. The rest are busy, and none of them are elected by more than 10,000 people.

"This is the will of the people, and the will of the people can be used." Chen Zhong smiled and clapped his hands, "Zhu Guofu is happy." ”

"Yes," Yuan Xingzong said with a smile, "gritted his teeth and took out eight positions, but only two of them were promoted." He shook his head, a look of disbelief on his face. 100,000 people are elected, which doesn't sound like much, but most of the people's news is closed, even if 100,000 people hear their names, it's not simple. Even if there is a Dongren Society to build momentum for it, considering that Zhao Xingde himself is still detained in Ezhou, it is really a miracle that he was elected as a pillar country with such a high popularity.

"Shangzhu Kingdom is the heart of our dynasty," Chen Zhong muttered, "Since the founding of this dynasty, there has never been a situation in which the Zhu Kingdom has been detained by other countries." He looked at the sweaty regimental training on the colonel's field, shook his head and said: "Now, the two governments have tried their best, and they have to rescue Zhao Yuanzhi back." ”

............

Dingtao, the flags fluttered on the Song army barracks, and Lu Mingyu, Luo Xianshi, Deng Yuanjue and other generals gathered together to look at the Liao army barracks that had become empty. After many days of confrontation, the Liao army actually left without a fight, abandoned the heavy troops of the Song army in front of them, and retreated directly? According to the scouts, after the Jeju Song army learned of the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted and they were still holding on to the city. If the Liao army really retreated to attack the city regardless of it, it was very likely that they would be attacked by the enemy under Jeju City.

"What tricks does Liaogou play?" Luo Xianshi had a puzzled look on his face, "Don't fight?" ”

"Look at the flat, we only defend and don't attack," Xia Biao spat out, "It's not exhaustive, people just go to Jeju." ”

"To chase or not to chase?" Someone asked.

Lu Mingyu landed on the camp wall with his left leg, leaned forward, and raised the clairvoyant mirror to observe the situation on the other side. Shi Jingkui and the others all had solemn faces. It didn't take long for scouts from all walks of life to report back, and the Liao army really withdrew its troops and went back. The artillery forts on the opposite side were empty, and the artillery originally aimed at the Song army barracks was dragged away, leaving only deep and shallow wheel prints extending to the east. If the Song army stops, I am afraid that the Liao army will really defeat Jeju.

"His grandmother's," Lu Mingyu patted his thigh, "If they don't catch up, they will be comfortable attacking the city." ”

"Yes!" "Catch up!" "When have we been afraid of a field battle!" "Entangle them!"

After many days of confrontation, the generals also held back their fire, and at this moment they all shouted for war, and after a short discussion, the army decided to pull out the camp and start the village. As when the army was marching to Bianliang at the beginning, the men and horses marched step by step, divided into front and rear formations, and continued to march forward until the Liao army brigade was discovered, from Dingtao to Jeju, it was only a mere 300 miles.
