Part 3 The Foxtrot of the Great Warlord Chapter 3300 An army that won't entertain the people

Chapter 3300 will not entertain the army of the common people

The content of this conversation soon came to the palace, and the little emperor Zhao Ji held the secret fold handed over by Cao and Zhang, and this time he didn't show anyone, and hid in the room alone to taste this secret fold slowly.

In the secret compromise, Cao and Zhang described the situation of the wargame deduction, and then completely described the "Battle of the North Shore" leaked by the wargame deduction, and the two also talked about the calculation ability of Zhao Xing's group of staff, Cao Yu also sighed in the secret fold: "In the past, I often heard that Zhao Liren was good at using the power of heaven and earth, using grass and trees and people's hearts, suppressing people with power, and winning with power.

When Chen saw Zhao Liren's achievements before, he often thought that it was not credible, there were some traces of ghosts, gods and demons, and the victory was incredible, but now I know that before Zhao Liren started the war, he was able to calculate every step properly, and even estimated the accidents. God? The mountains look up! ”

Later, Cao Yu talked about Zhao Xing's Israeli students in a letter, saying: "In the past, I also heard from maritime merchants that the world of the West and the South Seas is not a barbaric area, but today I still feel shocked to hear this person talk about Western formations. It turned out that the Westerners and Nanyang people were also studying the tactics of warfare, but my Great Song Dynasty was the first time to hear about it. When the minister heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat: the Khitan communicated with the big food, numbness and detachment (the Song Dynasty's name for Yemen), what the ministers heard when the day, whether the Khitan people already knew, in this way, our emperor Song fell into the hands of the Khitan. Isn't this a worrying situation......

The minister also asked Zhao Liren why he chose the Western formation---- Zhao Liren explained: Information determines judgment. What he needed most now was to judge the most suitable means to strike at the Liao, and for this purpose he had to obtain as much information as possible--- even if it came from the West. ”

Zhang Dunli's letter was exactly the same as Cao Yu's, and he was full of admiration, and in his excitement, after analyzing the slight changes between Song and Liao due to the appearance of firearms, he asserted: With the maturity of Zhao Xing's new tactics, the day when the imperial court will restore Youyan is just around the corner.

Zhao Ji finished reading this paragraph. Emotional. He circled around the temple and said to himself, "No. It's not proper, the Guangdong gunners are paid for by the Guangdong Economic Strategy Division, and this militaristic weapon cannot be handled in the hands of the locality, it's not proper!

Overseas is not a wilderness, it is a mountain of stones...... Cao Yu was too worried. When it comes to understanding overseas places, the Khitan can't catch up with our emperor and Song. Zhao Xing started with sea trade, and his understanding of the West is actually comparable to that of the Khitans. In this way, the court is closed.

The temple counts the temple, Uncle Zhao garrisons the Yellow River, whether the temple counts, he fought with the Liao, and ended in a hurry. Is the temple counted...... All of these need to be ...... in court."

When Zhao Ji was calculating in the hall, Shunbaozhai and Zhao Xing had already been called to get up. At the front of the team were the envoys of the peace talks between Song and Liao---- Jiang Zhiqi and Wang Shiru. At the back of the line was Zhang Dunli. Zhao Xing and Shuai Fan left and right, opened their full scepters, and followed the two envoys to the capital.

Cao Yu's send-off team arrived at the border of the Daimyo's Mansion, and after Cao Yu left, there were a few more children in Zhao Xingdi's team, which was the next generation of children sent by Zhang, Wang, and Cao Sanxing. And the addition of the generals surnamed Shi also allowed Zhao Xing to sweep the first line of the Great Song Dynasty.

The team slowly moved forward. The people who learned that Song Liao had signed a new contract spontaneously gathered on both sides of the official road to greet them.

Since the Alliance of the Abyss. Frequent small-scale harassment by the Liao State forced the Great Song to maintain a large army in Hebei. Although the newly signed "Wuqing Covenant" was a local contract, in the new contract, the Liao people promised to treat small-scale looting as a crime and were willing to accept the Song court's request for a wanted place, which also meant that the annual "grass valley" had finally subsided.

Therefore, although the imperial court could suppress the news of the Song and Liao battles, and the events on the river bank were as trivial as a flock of ducks arguing, the people along the way ignored the court's intention to keep a low profile, they spontaneously gathered around the roadside, showing their inner joy on their faces, and couldn't help but cheer at the Song army who retreated.

Outside the Great Song Dynasty Bianliang and Wansheng Gate, Zhao Ting, a member of Hanlin Chengzhi, stood in a big red robe in the official road, and behind him stood the eunuch Liang Shicheng. The latter held an empty plate covered with red satin in his hand, and stood in the way with a proud expression.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhiqi obediently stopped and made way for the road. Seeing this, Zhao Xing and Shuai Fan jumped off their horses, waved their hands to stop the advance of the army, and the two looked at each other slightly, and moved forward alone.

Walking to Liang Shicheng's empty plate, Zhao Xing was still interested in laughing with Liang Shicheng: "Big Pavilion, hold it steady, it's very heavy." ”

Liang Shicheng sneered, his expression softened slightly. Zhao Xing immediately untied his saber and put it on the plate, and took off three handcuffs from his body, a scimitar, a dagger, a hand axe, a hammer, and a silver seal......

Zhao Xingdi's weapons were piled up on the plate, and when Shuai Fan untied his sword, he didn't know where to put it, and Liang Shicheng only now knew why Zhao Xing let him hold it steady, he only felt that the ground in the plate was as heavy as Mount Tai, dead and heavy, so heavy, so heavy----

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty carried a lot of ground ornaments, but as a general, in addition to the sword used for the ceremonial staff, it was only a military talisman. However, Zhao Xing seems to have a lot more weapons than others, and that handsome fan is even more perverted, he only has two swords, and he is waiting with a huge mace in his hand...... Liang Shicheng was anxious, and hurriedly greeted: "Lord Zhao, let go of your hand, and be tolerant is enough to ---- the Light Instrument Sword." ”

Zhao Xing laughed, picked up the saber and handcuff again, and didn't return to his waist. When Shuai Fan saw it, he no longer teased Liang Shicheng, handed the huge nail hammer back to the attendant, and put the fluttering ceremonial sword on the tray in Liang Shicheng's hand, and then, the two took a step back and bowed to Liang Shicheng to sign up: "Minister, Fuwenge Bachelor (Baowenge Bachelor), Guangnan Transit Envoy and Soldiers and Horses of this Road (Meizhou Shou and Guangnan Soldier Case Chief) Zhao Xing (Shuai Fan) was ordered to enter Beijing to play right, such as Yi Jiejian. ”

Liang Shicheng hurriedly shouted in a sharp voice without stopping: "The edict gives wine!" ”

The rule set by the early Song Dynasty was that when the generals returned to Beijing, they should untie their swords outside the Wansheng Gate in the capital, and before the soldiers entered the capital, they should also put their weapons into cloth bags, so as to show that "they dare not disturb the holy car with their soldiers". On the other hand, the official family will give the soldiers who untie the sword and the generals fine wine, lamb and army---- which may be the origin of "a cup of wine to release military power".

Liang Shicheng shouted this sentence, and Shuai Fan turned around. Raise your right hand high. Chong ordered the soldiers: "Three armies, disarm and bind --- listen to the command: the gun is under the shoulder, and the spear is stabbed." Wear a gun flower. ”

The so-called "removal of the spear" is the bayonet with the muzzle removed; "Wearing a gun" is a kind of decorative flower pompom stuffed into the muzzle of the gun. The function of this flower pompom is to prevent water and dust from entering the barrel, and it is a must-have equipment in the era of smoothbore guns.

"Bang Bang Bang", three times sounded neatly, and the Vermilion Bird Army Demon Killer Army completed the "gun under the shoulder" action. Immediately after, there was a metallic crunch. The triangular bayonet was unscrewed from the muzzle of the gun and tucked into the waist---- which was quite neat, but the rest of the movement was only messy.

I saw the soldiers stuffing the muzzle of the gun with all hands and feet---- this gun flower is not a gun flower formulated by unified specifications, Zhao Xing left a little autonomy for the soldiers here, allowing the soldiers to order their favorite gun flowers. As a result, the gun flowers of the Vermilion Bird Soldier and the Demon Slayer Army are very personal style, and the gun flowers are similar to modern cartoon toys, which are the exaggerated head shapes of various animals. For example, there are cute bear heads, hideous wolf heads, and funny fur seals (seals).

Furthermore. Because the name of this army is Suzaku and Demon Extermination, many soldiers' guns are various shapes of Suzaku or demon shapes, and there are also two peacock lins inserted in the muzzle of soldiers, and the peacock lin has one-third of the length of the spear body, straight and vertical to the sky, and the shape is swaggering.

Don't say it, with such a decoration, the murderous team just now has become a forbidden army that can be used for street performances, which is amiable and cute......

Zhao Tingzhi looked at Zhao Xing with satisfaction. The army obediently put away their swords and guns. He raised the holy decree in his hand and shouted in a straight voice: "Edict." The Suzaku Army entered the camp to eliminate the demons, His Majesty gave the lamb wine, and the troops looked at Que Thanksgiving. ”

After Zhao Tingzhi finished announcing, the soldiers had completed their movements and stood quietly----Yes, it was quiet. On both sides of the road were dazed troops, and in the middle of the road were condensed murderous musketeers who did not say a word.

Looking at the dazed army in front of him, Zhao Tingzhi was stunned---- as an army that can fight, he doesn't know how to entertain the people, is this still an army?

That's right, Suzaku and Demon Exterminator don't know how to entertain the people.

It has to be said that Shuai Fan is very good at training soldiers, and under his strict training, even in the face of the fierce Liao cavalry, the soldiers can follow the instructions of the officers and put on a corresponding formation to fight the enemy to the death. They train in such a variety of subjects that the mere mere hearing of the names of all modern soldiers makes their heads spin...... However, they did not train honor guards --- military etiquette that conformed to the characteristics of the Song Dynasty.

The regular forbidden army, hearing Zhao Tingzhi's announcement of this ceremony, should bow down and shout: "Long live!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

But now after Zhao Tingzhi announced, the soldiers stared at him blankly. After a long time, some soldiers who had been on errands in the Shaanxi army remembered the etiquette of the trip, but they all looked at Zhao Xing and waited for orders. After Zhao Xing made a gesture, they bowed and cheered unevenly: "Long live, long live, long live." ”

The mighty and neat army just now was gone, and after many soldiers shouted slogans, the rest of the soldiers remembered what to do, and they added a cheer in their languishing. This made Zhao Tingzhi gloomy, and said with hatred: "I often hear that Lord Zhao's soldiers are very capable of fighting and sweeping the small countries of Nanyang, but I didn't expect to be so ignorant of etiquette, hum!" ”

Shuai Fan rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "If the slogan is shouted neatly, you can defeat the enemy?" Can we increase our combat effectiveness? These useless things are just a ritual, and what happens if everyone shouts unneatly, it has no effect on our combat effectiveness. ”

Zhao Xing laughed and played a round: "The sons and daughters have just come down from the front line---- Lord Zhao, why should you be harsh on a victorious army?" ”

Zhao Tingzhi glared at Zhao Xing hatefully.

What the other party said is indeed reasonable, and there is Zhao Xing, who has made great contributions, and he is about to be reused. At this moment, Zhao Tingzhi and Zhao Xing were embarrassed, and it was not in line with the little emperor's intentions, he thought about it, raised his voice and continued: "The official family has a purpose, since the gunners in Guangnan became an army, they have never ordered a school, and today I returned to Beijing to submit it, just by taking advantage of this reward, I will verify it, and ask Lord Zhao to send someone to assist." ”

Now. To say that after the new emperor ascended the throne. Who is the hottest in the court is not Han Zhongyan, who is bent on purifying the adultery of the Qing Dynasty. It is not Zeng Bu, an important minister of the two dynasties, it is the Zhao Tingzhi Zhao in front of him.

As soon as Cai Jing left, Zhao Tingzhi smoothly replaced Cai Jing's "position" and was named the right servant of the special Jin Shang and the middle waiter. This is of course a good reflection of his position in the emperor's heart. However, speaking of which, Zhao Tingzhi is indeed a high-quality person---- at least stronger than Cai Jing, who fell down. The "bright prospects" in front of him did not overwhelm him, and he decided to take this opportunity to do something, at least to leave a good reputation in history as "squeezing out the Yuanyou Party and sparing no effort". Therefore, he specially asked for this decree and stopped Zhao Xing's route into the city.

In fact, Zhao Tingzhi spared no effort to crack down on Su Shi and his Yuanyou party members also for a reason, and he was ridiculed and ridiculed by Su Shi and his protΓ©gΓ©s when he was young. The young Zhao Tingzhi was promoted to serve in the pavilion, and Su Shi once said that he "is a villain who gathers villains, and there is nothing to be gained from learning." How can you make this choice", Zhao Tingzhi "deeply applauded" this and couldn't attack. The teacher was like this, and the young Sumen disciples did not keep their composure. Even Huang Tingjian, a kind-hearted person, made an "office joke".

Zhao Tingzhi's family was poor when he was a child, and after becoming an official, he hated the fact that others mentioned the fact that his family was poor, and who dared to involve this sensitive topic was to "demonize Zhao Tingzhi". And Zhao Tingzhi rarely ate steamed cakes when he was a child, and after becoming an official, he thought that steamed cakes were the most delicious delicacy in the world. Back then, he and Huang Tingjian worked in the same pavilion, and every day people would come to ask them what they were eating. Zhao Tingzhi said every time, "Come to eat steamed cakes".

One day, everyone gathered for dinner and wanted to carry out the wine order, and Huang Tingjian wanted to make fun of Zhao Tingzhi. He said, "Let's do this today, and each person will say five words." In these five words. The first four words add up to exactly the fifth word. Zhao Tingzhi didn't know that there was fraud, thought about it and said, "He Nu is a ghost Wei." Huang Tingjian immediately said: "The force is correct." ”

These five words are just homophonic with the Shandong dialect of "eating steamed cakes in the future". ^^^^ book ^^ first hair ^^ colleagues burst into laughter, and Zhao Tingzhi couldn't get off the stage.

Since then, Zhao Tingzhi has become a complete opponent of Su Shi: whatever Su Shi approves, he will oppose, and whatever Su Shi opposes, he will approve, including Sumen's disciples---- including Zhao Xing.

After the "Wutai Poetry Case" occurred, it was Zhao Tingzhi who instigated the imperial court to issue a ban: banning the destruction of Su Shi's inscriptions in various places. In addition, Zhao Tingzhi spared no effort and personally presided over the burning of Su Shi's articles, which covered Su Shi's poems, Su Shi's articles, Su Shi's calligraphy, and Su Shi's Yangma keel waterwheel...... are among the burned.

This also suffers from Zhao Mingcheng, the son who has always admired Su Shi and his protΓ©gΓ©s, so he had to turn from being openly and honestly sought after to underground, and secretly collected Su, Huang and other people's calligraphy whenever he met him. According to Li Qingzhao's account, after he got married, he was often beaten by Zhao Tingzhi because of this. And Li Qingzhao's father, Li Gefei, was also persecuted indiscriminately by Zhao Tingzhi because he was a disciple of Su Shi.

Zhao Tingzhi is a paranoid who doesn't even let go of his son in order to oppose Su Shi, and he doesn't want to let go of Zhao Xing when he has the opportunity to humiliate Zhao Xing. At this moment, he was at the intersection, his mind was twisting and turning, and he kept asking himself---- what should I do?!

Zhao Xing's contribution this time, looking at the ministers of the court and the entire Song Dynasty officialdom, could not find a comparable person.

Not to mention the new emperor's accession to the throne, it was the 500 Suzaku army that entered the city and helped the new emperor successfully solve the power ministers who opposed his accession to the throne...... No matter how you slander Zhao Xing, you must be careful, don't touch the bottom line in the little emperor's heart---- who knows what secret agreements and tricks the two have.

In addition, how did the meeting of all countries come to the court on New Year's Day this year, and look at the little kings of Nanyang who are willing to come to congratulate them, and they are full of admiration for the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty---- of course, this admiration is beaten out, and it is beaten out by the two big men in front of them. Who can compare to such a great achievement?

Under the oppression of Zhao Xing, those kings made the right choice between "dying the country" and admiring the Great Song Dynasty, which also made Zhao Xing's reputation in the Great Song Dynasty rise to the point of no return.

And even if we ignore Zhao Xing's military achievements, we cannot ignore Zhao Xing's staggering achievements in civil affairs. Not to mention his exploits in Mizhou and Yangzhou, only to talk about Huanqing. After Zhang Zhaoxing, although Huanqing worked closely with the Xixia people by Lu Huiqing and spared no effort to destroy it for many years, even such a "**" still could not suppress Huanqing's thriving fighting spirit. The imperial court only sent a seventy-year-old man, Fan Chun, back to Huanqing, and under the pressure of Lu Huiqing and the Tanguts, the Tanguts who had fought all the way shrank back.

This achievement cannot be ignored wherever it is placed.

What's more, Zhao Xing's achievements in Guangzhou for six or seven years are even more incredible.

Let's talk about copper politics first. It turns out that Zhang asked Zhao Xing to be in charge of the Guangnan Money Division. This appointment was probably the most correct thing he had ever done in his life. Originally, the amount of money minted in the Great Song Dynasty was only a small proportion of Guangnan. However, after Zhao Xing arrived in Guangnan, he adopted a new type of machine, and this change alone has made Guangnan account for half of the Song Dynasty in terms of the number of coins.

After the capture of Dali, this amount is unimaginably larger. Now. Eighty percent of the copper coins of the entire Great Song Dynasty are cast in Guangnan, and the new coins are without exception the non-perforated round coins made by the new stamping machine.

In addition, the taxes paid by the Guangdong City Bosi have also increased year by year, and now the wealth handed over by Guangdong has accounted for more than forty percent of the entire Great Song Dynasty. The important ministers who also won frequent victories on the battlefield and expanded the territory for the Great Song Dynasty had just reached an equal agreement on the Liao War. Returning to Beijing in victory, even if it is not in the face of the soldiers, it must also be seen in the part of the Liao envoys who are traveling with him, and it is not so obvious to make it difficult.

At this thought, Zhao Tingzhi nodded slightly, turned sideways to get out of the way, and said, "Lord Zhao, please enter the city." ”

Zhao Xing looked at Zhao Tingzhi in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and saw that Zhao Tingzhi was still gloomy. Nothing. He glanced at Shuai Fan suspiciously. Shuai Fan was also surprised, according to the rules. At this time, the imperial court should send an envoy to welcome the victorious soldiers returning to the court, and at the same time welcome the accompanying Liao envoys, why is it just a Hanlin courtier Zhao Tingzhi came forward?

"That's it?" Zhao Xing asked in surprise.

Jiang Zhiqi also felt that it was too much, he stepped forward, pointed to the frame of the Liao State behind him and asked Zhao Tingzhi: "Lord Zhao, where are the rest of the people?" ”

Zhao Tingzhi grimaced and replied coldly: "Under Wanshengmen." ”

Wanshengmen, commonly known as "Victory Gate", is also known as Wananmen. On the south side of Wan'anmen Gate is the famous Jinming Pond, and inside the city gate is the Duting Xiyi, which houses the diplomatic envoys of the Western Xia Dynasty in Beijing. Duting Xiyi faced the capital garrison, which was specially stationed for foreign enemy troops in Beijing. The Song Dynasty regarded this behavior of transferring troops from other places to Beijing as a means to clamp down on local towns.

A little farther away in Wananmen, there is also a famous "master building" ---- class building. Because of the existence of this building, the area has become a famous gay area in the Great Song Dynasty. When it gets dark, the streets are filled with protagonists---- commonly known as male prostitutes.

The city gate of Wansheng Gate is generally not opened, only to welcome the soldiers who return to the dynasty victoriously, it is grandly opened, the Wan'an Gate that is usually closed, has also caused the inconvenience of the people of Tokyo to come and go, for this reason, the imperial court has opened several corner gates to facilitate the people of Bianliang City to enter and exit, and one of the most famous corner gates is the West Water Gate.

It stands to reason that the imperial court should welcome the envoys out of Wan'anmen, but now, the envoys of the imperial court are not out of Wan'anmen and only stay in the city gate cave. After Zhao Tingzhi let go of the figure, Zhao Xing raised his eyes and saw that under the city gate, several Privy Council officials and military officials rushed here with apologies.

Is this a snub, or is it another arrangement?

Jiang Zhiqi sank his face and waved his sleeves to reprimand, Zhao Xing took a step forward and waved his hand to order: "All the troops, enter the city!" ”

Behind Zhao Xing, Shuai Fan took a step forward and whispered unwillingly: "My lord, Zhao Tingzhi is humiliating us!" What happened to the imperial court? Why only send such low-grade officials out to greet you, do you want me to have a seizure......"

At this time, with Zhao Xing's order, the Quang Nam army began to rush into the city, and the great humiliation made their faces red, they pouted, and trampled their feet heavily, and the sound of heavy horse boots waved in the city gate hole, rumbling, like thunder before a storm.

Zhao Xing pondered, and replied as he walked: "It may not be for us---- imperial court sent an envoy to Lord Jiang, who originally wanted to sign a state-to-state agreement, but we signed back a local agreement, I can imagine that the imperial historians must have blown up the nest......

Jiang Zhiqi wanted to have a seizure just now, just because the imperial court did not send a welcome envoy of the same grade, however, if Wang Shiru came to submit it to the country as a local official of Nanjing Dao, then the imperial court sent several Privy Council and the Ministry of War to submit the country, then the imperial court sent several Privy Council and the Ministry of War, which was already worthy of his identity---- The Heavenly Empire pays attention to etiquette, and this kind of welcome ceremony is quite good, and it is easier to play than anyone else. ”

When the carriage entered Wan'anmen, Wang Shiru's face was also very gloomy, and the imperial court did not send a welcome envoy of comparable specifications, which made him feel that he had lost his identity.

However, the success of the current contract is also closely related to his life. The new emperor of Liao has just ascended the throne, if the agreement in his hand cannot be recognized by the Great Song Dynasty, then the Khitan nobles of Liao State just use him to vent their anger, therefore, Wang Shiru had to endure this breath and angrily followed Zhao Xing into the city. His mind was swirling with thoughts, looking for an opportunity......
