Chapter 67: Building a Musket Army

"Naturally, it's true, Master Taishi, please wait a minute......"

Zhao Rui turned around and walked outside the hall to take a handful of M16 without bullets from Zhao Gong, and when he took it to the main hall, Xiao Gonggong suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, and just spoke out, but was glared back by Jia Yidao's cold gaze.

Eunuch Xiao is a person close to the emperor, so he naturally has to consider the emperor's safety, but he doesn't dare to resist Jia Yidao's authority, maybe he will die in the palace one day.

As soon as Jia Rudao started the steel gun, he suddenly felt extraordinary, the fine lines and smooth surface on it were not something that contemporary craftsmen could produce.

Jia Rudao then asked Zhao Rui about the origin and usage of the musket, and asked some details about killing the Tartars. Only then did he nod with satisfaction, and looked at Zhao Rui's gaze eagerly.

The ministers were surprised when they heard that Zhao Rui was the one who rescued Jingjiang Mansion and killed the Tartars and retreated, and they thought it was an old man like a martial arts master, but who knew that it was a boy who was only ten years old.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Rui is loyal to the country, created the 'Jingzhong Society' for the country and the people, and has achieved great military achievements, plus with the help of such a clever musket, it is really a blessing for our Great Song Dynasty! In this way, it is not impossible to drive the Tartars and seize the Central Plains! I decided to set up the Middle Road Musket Army, Feng Zhao Rui as the Right Martial Doctor, the Jingjiang Mansion Regiment Training Envoy, and the Deputy Commander of the Middle Road Musket Army! ”

Jia Yidao looked at Zhao Yuandao with a smile: "What does the emperor think?" ”

This is Jia Yidao to give Zhao Yuan a face above the court, Jia Yidao's decision Zhao Yuan never dared to refute, and even once when he went to sacrifice, a concubine was in a hurry to return to the court and offended Jia Yidao, and then Jia Yidao was furious, Zhao Yuan had no choice, and sent this concubine to the temple to be a nun.

Sure enough, Jia Yidao turned his head when he said this, ignoring whether the emperor agreed or not.

The ministers below gasped in surprise, for a civilian, although there are some military merits, but is this official position too high?

The rank of the military generals of the Song Dynasty is extremely cumbersome, and it is a heavy order not a heavy product, from top to bottom there are as many as 52 orders, and a normal military general from bottom to top has to go through decades of tempering, it is possible to do the martial arts doctor, is the seventh grade, and then up you need real military merits, but also the emperor's permission, who knows that Zhao Rui suddenly raised 38 steps, and directly became a right martial arts doctor who is one order higher than the martial arts doctor, from the sixth grade.

Such promotions and official rank awards are unprecedented.

Even Liang Dong, who is now under the jurisdiction of Jingjiang Mansion's soldiers and horses, has only achieved martial arts doctors, and he is one rank younger than Zhao Rui.

Although these ministers were surprised, Jia Yidao spoke, and no one in this court dared to refute, otherwise he would be beheaded on a trumped-up charge when he left the court.

Zhao Yuan glanced at Arjuna, cleared his throat and said: "What the Taishi said is very reasonable, I agree, let Zhao Rui go to busy with military affairs, Princess Arjuna will stay!" ”

Zhao Yuan licked his lips while throwing flattering eyes at Arjuna as he spoke, Arjuna glanced at it and quickly turned her head away, it was really disgusting!

"What?"

Jia Yidao just knew that the emperor was so sexual, and scolded him for being ridiculous in his heart, but he had to explain to him according to his temperament.

"Your Majesty, Princess Arjuna is going to marry Zhao Rui, which is equivalent to the Yuan Dynasty and our peace, if this happens, our Southern Song Dynasty will win a little respite, if Your Majesty forcibly wants Princess Arjuna, will it make the Yuan Dynasty Khan angry? If we attack the Southern Song Dynasty with all our might, we will not have much time! ”

Jia Yidao took a long breath, looking at Zhao Yuan's reaction, he felt that what he said should be very clear.

"No! If you are friendly with my people and the people of the Great Song Dynasty, why can't you be friendly with me? No, Arjuna must stay today, and I will give the bride price to Naborkin! ”

Jia Yidao almost suffocated to death when he heard this, and what he said just now was all fart?

The ministers were accustomed to it, and watched the flies fly around in the air with boredom, envying its freedom.

Arjuna couldn't stand it anymore, frowned, secretly pulled Zhao Rui's sleeve, and glanced at him.

Zhao Rui understands very well, what this means is that we fuck him, right?

Zhao Rui felt that it was not yet critical, and shook his head gently towards Arjuna, looking at her eyes with a calm expression.

Arjuna was infected by Zhao Rui's calmness, and she didn't have the anxiety just now, just watching the development of the situation.

"In that case, then let Your Majesty decide at your discretion!"

Zhao Rui's mouth couldn't close in surprise, and he saw Jia Yidao standing up and throwing his sleeves to leave.

Oh my God, he dares to pick on the emperor!

"Oh, the Taishi is angry, the Taishi is angry!" Zhao Yuan saw that Jia Yidao was angry, and hurriedly got up again to persuade him.

"The minister is old, and he has long had the heart of retreating, and now the emperor thinks that the old man is old and confused, so I will resign and return to my hometown!"

Zhao Yuan was about to die when he heard this, so he grabbed Jia Yidao's long sleeves and didn't let him go, and his strength almost dragged Jia Yidao's clothes off.

"Taishi, don't be like this, don't leave me! Without your assistance, my country and society would not be safe......"

The big tears on Zhao Yuan's face fell straight down.

"Alas......"

Jia Yidao let out a long sigh, although he was the prime minister and had the fact of usurping power, but Zhao Yuan was raised by himself since he was a child!

This kid is so stupid that it makes people feel distressed......

"The emperor borrowed a step to speak......"

Jia Yidao helped Zhao Yuan up, pulled him aside, and whispered: "After Zhao Rui takes office, I will let him not leave Lin'an City, and then Your Majesty, you will still have a lot of opportunities!" ”

Oh, yes!

Zhao Yuan's face turned cloudy, and he laughed again.

"It turns out that they don't leave Lin'an, hahaha, that's much more convenient!"

Jia Yidao was embarrassed and wanted to pump his mouth.

"The prime minister's position is still too low, Zhao Rui listened to the order, I ordered you to be the middle doctor, and the rest remains the same! Reward 10,000 taels of gold, give a house, hehe, it's really close to the palace! ”

Zhao Yuan said and squeezed his eyebrows at Arjuna, Arjuna had long stopped looking at him, Zhao Rui accidentally glanced at it, it was really disgusting.

Zhao Rui has been promoted to the seventh rank in a row, and his official product has also reached the fifth rank!

The ministers below are a little numb, let them go, it's better to go home and play with their wives after getting off duty.

"Still not grateful?" Jia Yidao woke up Zhao Rui, who was still in the dark.

"Oh, thank you, Lord Long, long live, long live, long live."

After Zhao Rui thanked him, a guard sent the deed and the money box containing gold to Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui had never seen so much gold squeezed together, and he was dazzled for a while.

According to the current ratio of gold and silver, this gold can be exchanged for 200,000 taels of silver!

Zhao Rui shook his head, he had really done business for so long, and it was not worth the emperor's reward.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that Yan Shu be used as the legitimacy of the Musket Army, what do you think?"

Yan Shu was a Wenchen who followed Jia Yidao in the early days, and he was very respected by him, but Jia Yidao was a little suspicious of Zhao Yuan if he knew who it was.

Zhao Yuan let out a long yawn, and said with a sleepy face: "All the Taishi arrangements, the strength of the medicine is over, and I want to go back to rest, so let's retreat." ”

Zhao Yuan stumbled back on the dragon chair, the palace maid next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help, Zhao Yuan pinched the palace maid's buttocks, the palace maid's face was red with shame, and she couldn't help but not scream in the main hall.

"Retreat from the ......"

Gonggong Xiao let out a long groan, and then followed Zhao Yuan to the harem.

After the ministers saluted Jia Yidao, they stretched their waists and went home in pairs.

"Zhao Rui, you have set up your subordinates, and then follow me to form a musket army...... Oh, this is Yan Shu, in the future, the two of you will cooperate with each other, and you must run the Musket Army well! ”

Jia Yidao was talking, Yan Shu walked to the side, and Jia Yidao introduced him to Zhao Rui by the way.

"Lord Yan, the officials are polite!"

Zhao Rui looked at Yan Shu, only to see that his eyes were concave and his nose was straight, and his facial features were very three-dimensional, but his eyes showed cunning, and he seemed to be a person who was not easy to get along with.

"Hehe, Lord Zhao, take care of me in the future!" Yan Shu didn't have much of a fight, and smiled casually.

Zhao Rui ordered his subordinates to carry the cash box into the carriage, and then handed over the deed to Zhao Gong, so that they and Arjuna could go back to rest first. Taking advantage of the effort of moving things, Zhao Rui got into the car and hid *** in his belt, and then jumped out of the car and followed Jia Yidao and the others.

Arjuna got in the car and left, but she was worried and looked back at Zhao Rui's figure again and again.

Jia Yidao hadn't been so concerned about business for a long time, he took Zhao Rui and the others to the military department to say hello and received the military token.

When it came to the source of soldiers, the military department hurriedly recommended the best soldiers to the three of them.

The Song Dynasty also had a tradition left over from the Later Zhou Dynasty, that is, to select strong men from the local army to enrich the central forbidden army. This practice is known as the "strong cadres and weak branches", and it is also a characteristic of the military system of the Song Dynasty.

It just so happened that a group of elite soldiers had just been selected from all over the country, and the forbidden army had not yet been replenished, and now the war was tense and ready to be filled into the border army.

This is not the master himself, so he has to be selected by the master first.

Jia Yidao nodded with satisfaction, and left with the two of them.

handed over the soldier card to Yan Shu, and then instructed the two of them a few words, and then got into the sedan chair and prepared to go home, and the rest of the selection of soldiers was handed over to the two of them to do.

As for the location of the barracks, it is just a random vacant space on the outskirts of the city.

Yan Shu saluted respectfully and sent Jia Yidao away, and Zhao Rui also did the same and followed.

"Lord Yan, let's go?" Zhao Rui was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"Huh? When will it be your turn to command? When I don't let you speak, shut up! ”

Zhao Rui was stunned, feeling that this group of Song people were all national first-class actors, and it was unheard of to change their faces so quickly.

Isn't it okay?

This is something that Zhao Rui doesn't know very well, the Song Dynasty is used to light military generals, basically Wenchen has this amazing appearance to military generals, coupled with Jia Rudao's special attention to Zhao Rui, which makes Yan Shu a little tasteful, and this is how he changed his face.
