Surprised. Dear friends: If you like that, please go to Chinese Net. Read Zheng Juzhong in front of him Liu Zhongwu, because Liu Zhongwu is T, and the two have also been officials in Shaanxi together, but Liu Zhongwu has risen quickly, and now he is a strategic envoy to pacify the scriptures, if Hou Meng hadn't participated in Zhao Xing's military advice, which led to his reputation, then he is now being degraded and under residential surveillance.

"How could this be, Liu Zhongwu faced the Xixia people in Shaanxi, and he had not suffered such a fiasco, how could he face a few rogues and lose his armor after being killed?" After Hou Meng finished exclaiming, he turned his gaze to Wang Mingsuo, his eyes full of questioning.

In his mind, the Nanyang Affairs Bureau had a strong force, and Qin Guan was in Huaidong, but they all sat still and watched the defeat of Liu Zhongwu in Huaixi, and perhaps they also played a little trick in it, so as to remove Liu Zhongwu, a stumbling block that prevented them from advancing to Beijing.

Wang Mingsuo smiled and was silent. Zheng Juzhong coughed embarrassedly and added: "This is all to blame for the transfer envoy Gao Yongnian, there are obviously a few rogues on the other side, Gao Yongnian does not observe the military situation, and in the case of insufficient armament, he will lightly attack the enemy, the thieves ambush in the mountains, whistles are everywhere, Gao Yongnian panicked, and even the enemy can't see the order to let go of the gun, it is said that the soldiers only had ten bullets in each hand at that time, and they didn't see the thieves when they were all gone." When the thieves came out, the officers and troops were defeated, and they lost their armor. Even the precious musket in his hand was discarded.

Gao Yongnian was surrounded by thieves, and the muskets in the soldiers' hands ran out of ammunition, so they could only resist as sticks. When this incident came out, the Privy Council was furious and arrested Liu Zhongwu for the crime of escaping from the battle, and the imperial court was ready to send him to Lingnan, or some people said that there was a shortage of generals overseas, so they could ask the Nanyang Affairs Bureau if there was any use for Liu Zhongwu. ”

Zheng Juzhong said this because because he was the spokesman of the royal interests, and he was unwilling to let Liu Zhongwu leave Huainan in order to remove the barrier of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau of the imperial court, and he knew that Hou Meng was now capable of saving Liu Zhongwu, because after the incident of the boycott of the dynasty, the imperial court was very tolerant of local officials, as long as the local government paid the imperial court's taxes on time, many local policies could be tolerated by the imperial court.

After Zheng Juzhong finished explaining, Wang Mingsuo waved his hand gently: "Everyone, it's time for us to go ashore too...... Zhao Liren often said that a sheep can't bring a group of lions, and I do feel it now. Oh, it's fun to use a firecracker like a musket! ”

Hou Meng's face flushed, pretending not to hear, he raised his feet and asked Zheng Juzhong: "What does the imperial court mean?" Is there a motion to transfer the Nanyang Affairs Bureau to suppress bandits? ”

Zheng Juzhong followed closely behind Hou Meng and replied: "The imperial court really can't come up with a way now, now all parts are cutting troops, and the Xiang army is gradually gathering in Hangzhou, except for a few forbidden troops that have not been integrated, the remaining Xiang soldiers are vulnerable. At present, only the foot archers of the Cheng clan in Huangzhou are still useful, but the imperial court does not want to call Huangzhou soldiers and horses. Yuan Gong, it's up to you next. ”

Hou Meng straightened his chest: "If the imperial court intends to use Liu Zhongwu and Brother Liu again, I am willing to protect Liu Zhongwu for meritorious service."

Brother Zhongwu made great achievements in Shaanxi in the past, and the imperial court should not send people to suppress it, and should be entrusted with the special responsibility of suppressing bandits, so as to achieve great things. ”

Zheng Juzhong nodded: "If it's Yuan Gong, it's willing." I would like to attach my name to the cannon. ”

The men walked as they spoke. They talked to their faces about saving Liu Zhongwu. The corners of Wang Mingsuo's lips kept sneering. But not a word.

After these people went ashore. Cheng Azhu also took Princess Changguo into the carriage. The greeting people gradually dispersed. Only a few officers remained at the dock. Soon. The trailing official ship has landed. Chen Buting felt that he had a great official character. You should go first. He lifted his foot. Guo Guangsheng pressed his shoulder. He turned around and said, "Brother Zhou, Brother You." Can you have your brothers on the shore? Please be the first to arrive! ”

Guo Guangsheng greeted Zhou Yong and You Jie, two petty officers. I just introduced the place. These two were introduced as the heads of the capital. Just a petty official who doesn't fit in the ranks. But they were very respectful to them. Chen Buting and Sun He looked at the two of them in confusion and humbled for a moment. Walked ashore to greet the officers on the shore. At this time. Talking to the two of them just now, Mingwu approached the two of them lively. explained in a low voice: "These two used to be orphans of the Huanqing Children's Camp. ”

Oh. When the two of them heard this explanation, they immediately understood.

Huanqing Children's Camp was founded by Zhao Xing. In the beginning, the proceeds of the war were used to raise the orphans of martyrs. And later. With the Tangut people being honest. Most of the war orphans grew up. This boy boy camp became a local war school for the training of future generations of officers.

Most of the early members of the boy boy camp had the identity of Zhao Xing's righteous sons, and those boy boy camp righteous sons later defected to Zhao Xing one after another, and are now scattered in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, becoming local military attachés, or local small businessmen, and petty officials in the yamen. Looking at Zhou Yong, You Xie and other ages, the two should be members of the first batch of boy boy camps, such people come to Hangzhou, there are a lot of classmates and old friends, and it is not an exaggeration to let them land first.

After Zhou Yong and You Xie finished talking with the people on the shore, they led two officers over, one of whom always had a smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "The lower officer is Lu Qiuguan, the attendant of the staff headquarters, and he is specially here to greet you. ”

Another officer who greeted him had a rigid face and a stiff demeanor, he had a scar on his face, his face was blue, and he saluted everyone with a stern expression, and replied stiffly: "The lower official is Zhu Dake, the staff officer of the Nanyang Yamen Navy Headquarters, and the junior brother of my family is thanks to you for taking care of me, and the lower officer is grateful." ”

Zhou Yong saw that all the officers were a little uncomfortable by Zhu Dake's cold words, and he hurriedly explained: "My senior brother's parents died at the hands of the Western Xia people, when he was a child, he entered the Western Xia with a sword to find the enemy who killed his father, and unfortunately was captured by the Xia people, it was his father-in-law who invaded the Western Xia and rescued him, and since then he has been with his father-in-law. Don't be afraid, my senior brother was cut off by Xia Ren, and he will no longer laugh, in fact, he is very kind, you will know in the future. ”

You Xie hurriedly helped: "That's right, that's right, Senior Brother Zhu took the most care of us young people in the boy camp, I remember a marching exercise, I couldn't walk, I was only five years old at the time, and Senior Brother Zhu carried me on his back for ten miles......"

Guo Guangsheng smiled and replied: "I know, you have a cousin named Zhu Keren, who was a soldier under me, and you wrote to him last year." ”

Zhu Dake nodded stiffly, Guo Guangsheng pulled the others and introduced: "This is the son of the small breed Jinglu, Chong Mingwu, he is the Zheke family, the Zheke family and your father-in-law are world friends, and the two of them also brought a letter from their father, hoping to meet your father-in-law......

……”

Chen Buting hurriedly rushed up and introduced himself flatteringly: "The next official is Chen Buting, the commander of Ma Bujun in Tanzhou, Jinghu North Road, and this is Sun He, Brother Zhu, who is under the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou, Fujian Road, is reasonable." Where is Master Taishi's patrol now? There is a letter from Xie Yinglao on the lower official. ”

:: Vinegar, beat a reader from Zhangshui Academy, and was punished by Xie Yinglao to kneel, yes? ”

Chen Buting smiled awkwardly and explained: "That Oiran Yueniang was obviously called by me first, and that kid was a reader of Zhangshui Academy, and he actually robbed me of Oiran, and our family can't talk about him, so he has to serve with his fists." ”

::

Chen Buying was angry: "Where is it, I kicked it, who knew that the guy couldn't stand the beating and fell into the water, it's funny that guy, obviously a person from Zhangshui Courtyard, he couldn't swim in the water, and he was hurt by jumping into the water to save him, and he was punished by Xie Yinglao afterwards, so unreasonable." ”

::

Chen Buting choked for a moment, stared at Lu Qiuguan with wide eyes and angrily, and Lu Qiuguan added with a smile: "How is the appearance of the pink-headed moon girl?" Can you deserve to grab it? ”

Chen Buting nodded proudly: "The natural complexion is considerable!" ”

::

Chen Buting's heart suddenly warmed, and he had a feeling of sympathy, stretched out his hand to hug Lu Qiuguan, and said affectionately: "Brother Lu Qiu, you are the head snake of the land, brother, when I came to Hangzhou, I brought my whole net worth, what is the fun place, you can introduce it to your brother more." ”

Zhu Dake grimaced and scolded lightly: "A pair of dog men and women...... Master Taishi has arrived in Quanzhou, if you want to see Taishi, I am afraid that you will have to wait until the end of the month, it is better to report to the staff headquarters first, and then settle down. ”

When Sun He heard this, he was overjoyed: "Doesn't that mean we have time to visit West Lake tonight?" Go, go together, and no one here today will be left behind. ”

Guo Guangsheng then scolded lightly: "It turned out to be three dog men and women." ”

Zhou Yong immediately interjected: "Senior Brother Zhu, I heard that the eldest son is about to get married, and it is rumored that Sanyanei is also going to marry the princess, and when the younger brother came from Shaanxi, the senior brothers all sent a congratulatory gift." If the father-in-law is not here, it would be good for us to meet the eldest son.

I think that back then, Hu Niangke's family once took care of us, and Liao Zhipo also took care of us, we also need to see them one by one, I don't know if Zhao Tian is there? ”

:: We're going to the Lily Garden tonight...... Commander Chen and Commander Sun also went, the widow of Liyuan was gentle, and there was no reason to bother, a few brothers lived in Guangdong, and I also greeted them every day. ”

Guo Guangsheng stopped and asked Lu Qiuguan in surprise: "Brother Tai came out of the Guangnan Martial Arts Academy?" ”

::I only joined the army when I recruited soldiers, and I am still studying in the Hangzhou Academy, and I have never had the opportunity to go to Guangnan. ”

Guo Guangsheng nodded in understanding and asked, "What I learned in Hangzhou Martial Arts Academy is an intelligence major?" ”

::Rise! Well, but how did Brother Guo guess it? ”

Guo Guangsheng praised with admiration: "I often hear that Lord Taiwei is good at appreciating talents, and sure enough, with Brother Luqiu's character of fearing that the world will not be chaotic, it is simply too suitable for incitement work...... Brother Qiu should be suspicious, when the Beijing officials dismissed the dynasty, he met someone from the Guangnan Wubei Academy in the capital, and at that time a certain person was studying in Taixue, and that guy was instigated in Taixue, just like Brother Luqiu, full of conspiracy. ”

::A kind person like me, even the Taishi praised me as a 'sunshine boy', how could I have a conspiracy so innocent. ”

Hearing that Lu Qiuguan was a person engaged in intelligence, and he was the best at fanning the flames and spying on news, several students felt a chill in their hearts, and they couldn't help but distance themselves from Lu Qiuguan under their feet, Zhu Dake interjected with a gloomy face: "That's right!" The original words of the Taiwei's praise were: The face is like a stupid pig, and the heart is like a fox. The omitted facts really can't be heard...... It's just that don't panic, this kid is at most a person who talks on paper, and he is in charge of intelligence analysis in the Intelligence Department. ”

The cold-faced man actually made jokes, everyone was overjoyed, and the gaze that looked at Zhu Dake was much kinder.

The intelligence system of the Privy Council of the imperial court is called the "Department of Staff", Zhao Xing's Nanyang Yamen cannot copy the name of the Privy Council, and the intelligence agency under him is called the "Intelligence Department", which is actually a set on the surface, equivalent to the "Military Intelligence Department", which is specifically responsible for collecting military-related information, so it is often called the "Military Intelligence Department" among the people. The other hidden intelligence department is well known, which is under the command of Yuan Yeping, and this intelligence department has a superficially ordinary name, called the "Nanyang Yamen Commercial Statistics Bureau".

A group of young people laughed and laughed and hurried to the Amame Garden in a horse-drawn carriage. At this time, in Quanzhou City, Zhao Xing was holding the army expansion plan issued by the General Staff Headquarters, shaking his head and sighing: "The General Staff Headquarters misunderstood what I meant, and we must consider costs and benefits in everything. The army is used for external purposes, and I have been in the Song Dynasty for a long time, so what are I doing with those huge armies in various places? The people of the Great Song Dynasty are not the target of my army, and the rebellion in the four realms can also be dealt with with by Hou Meng's tactics of recruiting peace, and it is also possible to deal with them with the government service, and I spend money to raise so many soldiers, how can I let them wave their swords at their compatriots.

Cut! All the armies everywhere have been cut! Two battalions per lane is still too much. There are 1,000 people in the cavalry patrol battalion and shooting battalion, and it costs 15,000 yuan a month to feed these 1,000 people, plus training expenses, clothing expenses, camp expenses, and food expenses, and it will be counted as 500,000 yuan a year. Spending 500,000 yuan on one road to raise soldiers is too extravagant! Why bother?

There is one shooting battalion on Fujian Road, one cavalry patrol battalion on Liangzhejiang Road, and the same is still true in Liangguang, so that we can reduce the box army to 2,000 men, plus officers, a maximum of 2,200 men, which is enough. ”

The General Staff Headquarters originally planned to keep some soldiers in each state, and the Nanyang Yamen maintained an establishment of more than 10,000 soldiers, but when Zhao Xing glanced at it, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers left in the entire Nanyang Affairs Bureau.

"The regular army is going to be expanded, we now control three oceans, the South China Sea is the national border, at least two troops should be stationed in contingencies, one in Luzon, one in the Ryukyus, and Srivijaya and Lion City

If we have a fleet, we might as well transfer all the surplus troops overseas, at least overseas to help us share the cost of garrisoning. ”

Zhao Xing was chattering here, and Pu Zongwang, the envoy of Quanzhou City, Fujian, smiled and patted his ass: "Lord Taiwei always refuses to suffer a loss. ”

Zhao Xing raised his eyes and glanced at Pu Zongwang: "Your family's clansmen have already gained a firm foothold in Luzhi, and I promised your father a country, and it will be realized soon." ”

Pu Zongwang is the son of Pu Yi'an, he replied with a smile: "Actually, why should my father expect the lord of a country, in my opinion, how can there be a happy life in the Song Realm in the barbaric land of Nanyang, if it is heaven here, Arabia is like hell." ”

What Pu Zongwang said was: Compared with the prosperity and stability of the Great Song Dynasty, the war-torn world outside is simply unbearable, and in terms of productivity, wealth level, and civilization, if the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning of the twelfth century claims to be second, no one dares to say that it is first.

What Pu Zongwang is saying is the truth, whether it is the real history or the history that has been disturbed by the appearance of Zhao Xing. In the real history, although there were all kinds of shortcomings in the Great Song Dynasty, its prosperity and economic activity were unparalleled in the world.

Zhao Xing nodded: "I heard that your father also regretted it, I once promised him the new Palembang City outside the Three Buddhas, but after I laid the road branch, he followed him to Kaizhi City, and later planned to go to the Arabian Peninsula opposite to start a foundation, but now, he has curled up back in Palembang City, and he did not even follow Chen Buqun to the west."

”

Pu Zongwang replied with a hippie smile: "Taishi, the Pu family has now gained a firm foothold in Quanzhou, I wonder if my father wants to return to China, will Master Taishi allow it?" With the permission of the Grand Master, the Pu family handed over the inheritance of Tamna, Palembang and Luchi in exchange for his father's peaceful old age. ”

Zhao Xing vaguely remembered that the Pu family was in a son after the Jinshi, began to buy Cai Jing to control Quanzhou, they controlled Quanzhou for hundreds of years, and then the Southern Song Dynasty perished, the Song royal family fled to Quanzhou, it was the Pu family who betrayed the Song Dynasty clan to the Mongols, so that the Song Dynasty clan was slaughtered, the only survivor is a young son who fled from Quanzhou to Vietnam in advance, this child was then respected by the Vietnamese as the "Flying Dragon Emperor", set up a temple to worship for thousands of years......

"Quanzhou also wants to expand the naval dock...... The General Staff Headquarters plans to expand the fleet by four fleets this year, and in the future Quanzhou will be the central anchorage of the Nanyang Yamen, and the naval fleet stationed in Quanzhou will spend a truce before being transferred back to the headquarters. During the truce, the fleet stationed in Quanzhou was responsible for patrolling the waters of the Great Ryukyu and the Lesser Ryukyu. Zhao Xing glanced at Pu Zongwang and replied: "Your father's return to China is not a problem, and there is no need for the Pu family to withdraw from Palembang, after all, the Pu family is a Song person, and my Song people withdraw from Palembang, and the locals will inevitably take advantage of the situation."

However, Tamna Island was withdrawn, and the next step is to return Tamna Island to the Beiyang Affairs Bureau, so that the Beiyang Affairs Bureau can have a halfway supply point. Therefore, in the future, my forces will gradually withdraw from Tamna Island, and only the Tamna Horse Farm will be retained. ”

Pu Zongwang glanced at Zhao Xing worriedly, and reminded: "Taishi, the imperial court has repeatedly beware of Taishi, the Beiyang Affairs Bureau originally existed to guard against Taishi, but Taishi just wanted to give them a well-built military port, wouldn't they be afraid of raising tigers." ”

"If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? Now that the north is facing changes, I expect that sooner or later there will be a great change, the Beiyang Affairs Bureau is weak and weak, and it is not enough to cope with this great change, and the imperial court is absolutely unwilling to hand over the power to deal with the affairs of the north, so I can only choose to make the Northern Affairs Bureau stronger, so as to cope with the changes. How the Great Song Dynasty targets me, that is an internal matter of the Great Song Dynasty, if the great changes in the north are out of control, the Great Song Dynasty does not exist, where will you and I exist, and what will the prosperous scenery in front of us exist? ”

Pu Zongwang was stunned for a moment, and smiled reluctantly: "The Taishi's mind is really broad!" ”

After a pause, Pu Zongwang asked again: "Taishi said that Quanzhou is the middle anchorage, is there an upper anchorage and a lower anchorage?" ”

Zhao Xing looked at Pu Zongwang and said calmly: "Guangzhou will be the southern anchorage, and the state will be the northern anchorage, to tell the truth, the army has been stationed in one place for a long time, and after a long time, I am worried that they will get out of control, and second, I am worried that they will be bought by the magistrates, so I plan to adopt the strategy of garrison rotation."

As the headquarters of the Nanyang Yamen, the fleet anchored from the state first went to Quanzhou, where it was garrisoned for three months, then went to Guangzhou, and then anchored from Guangzhou to the coast. When all the fleets leave the state docks, the voyage period can be calculated, and the fleet patrols from north to south, and when the patrol goes overseas, it is a patrol period, and then they gradually move from south to north from overseas, and when they return to the state, it is the end of a service period. In this way, we can ensure that our state headquarters maintains a strong force at all times, and it can also ensure that the soldiers who go to sea have a transition period and gradually adapt to overseas service life. Of course, collusion with magistrates is also prevented. ”

Pu Zongwang smiled awkwardly, and immediately asked carefully: "Taishi, what about the coastal patrol team of Quanzhou City?" Lord Taiwei wants to relieve the strength of the Xiang army in various places, Fujian is mountainous, and it is difficult to transfer soldiers, and the trade volume of Quanzhou is huge, and the imperial court also needs to station an army to prevent accidents......"

Zhao Xing grimaced and said unceremoniously: "The establishment of the General Staff Headquarters is to mobilize armed forces from all over the country, and in the future, Quanzhou will have a strong navy, and Quanzhou will not have to worry about an attack from the sea." As for the Quanzhou Coastal Patrol Force, it will be directly dispatched by the General Staff Headquarters, and the local officials can only use the official service to deal with local affairs, and they are not allowed to transfer troops privately. ”

Pu Zongwang sighed, and said directly: "Lord Taiwei is guarding against our Pu family, and the Pu family is also the friend of the Taishi's troubles, I heard that the friends of the Taishi's troubles have now become extremely rich, but my Pu family is in such a difficult situation, is there also a Huayi debate in the Taishi's heart, see us foreign races?" ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "My subordinates have Yuan Yeping, and now they are alone; There is Li Weisi in the imperial court, and now he is also a court official, and there are many people who are happy to be happy, and they are officials in my Guangzhou and Hangzhou, which shows that there is no dissent in my heart. But I know that the Arabs have always thought that there is no need to keep their promises to the enemy. And the so-called friend or foe is just between you and you, and someone is your enemy in a thought, and he will be your friend in a blink of an eye. It's different again. Therefore, I am always worried about your betrayal. ”

Pu Zongwang sighed: "But now, it is the Taishi who reneges on the covenant of friends. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, 8.) , more chapters, support work, support ! )
