Part 4 Crazy Against the Sky Chapter 4379 Military Reform

At this time, the Jurchen tribe waved their troops north, began their own action to unify the Jurchen tribe for ten years, in the ten-year war, they continued to accumulate the confidence of victory, and after ten years, they had a huge army comparable to the Liao State, and only began to fight the Liao State head-on - in this way, the history of the Jin people returned to the original trajectory. Friendly reminder: If you like it, please read the latest chapter on the show

In February, the Liao people received the news that the navy had fallen, and the government and the opposition were shaken. At this time, the only one who had firearms for sale was the Song State, and they immediately sent an envoy to question the Song State, and this envoy set out from the Liao State to Beijing in early February under the great trust of the Liao State minister...... Contrary to the historical trajectory, he did not cross the Yellow River near Zhendingfu, but went directly to Tianjin, hired a local merchant's sea ship to Dengzhou, and after meeting with the officials of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau, he led the way to the capital.

In February, the original officers of the Iron Cavalry were sent to Guangzhou and began to learn cavalry tactics in the academy, and at the same time, a large number of Iron Cavalry troops were transferred to the Huchun Mountains, where they were equipped with new war horses and began to use actual combat as training in the mountains to suppress bandits and carry out a comprehensive change of clothing.

The strange thing is that the new war horses that Zhao Xing equipped them with were not the Tamluo horses they expected, but these war horses were not bad, and they all wore the brand of Liao ** horses. Some soldiers once wondered how Zhao Xing had such a large number of Liao war horses in his hands, but after thinking about it, they were relieved: Zhao Xing was the leader of Liao trade, and it was not surprising that he could get a large number of military horses from the Liao people.

After the suspicion disappeared, the iron cavalry soldiers couldn't help but mutter: the poor have begun to sell military horses. ”

The military horses of the Liao State are really good, hard-working, and can gallop continuously in the mountains for several hours, which makes the Iron Cavalry like a tiger with wings, at the end of February, the Iron Cavalry successfully completed the task of suppressing bandits, and began to return to Hangzhou to carry out the final reorganization.

When they arrived at the border of Hangzhou, a new order was issued, and the total number of 30,000 iron cavalry was to be reduced to 15,000, and the remaining soldiers' salaries were to be tripled. But at the same time, in order to cut costs, the new order required the Iron Cavalry to eliminate horse armor and completely replace it with a light cavalry.

Later, the redressed Iron Cavalry was transferred back to Hangzhou in undecided, and the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry who had been cut down were given 50 acres of land each, 30 yuan of money for settling in, and the war horses eliminated in the army as farming horses. Immediately, the redundancy of the iron cavalry thundered with joy at this reduction.

The Chinese people's demand is very simple, although 50 acres of land is not much, but there are ploughing horses and settling-in expenses, so that they can live a middle-class life in the mountainous areas, which is also the goal they hope to achieve in their lifelong struggle.

But they didn't know that the remaining Iron Cavalry soldiers had their salaries raised while marching, and by the time they entered Hangzhou, their salaries had risen to ten yuan a month, and the condition was that they needed to hire two servants to be responsible for logistical support...... Subsequently, the last army controlled by this clan completely became "Zhao Xinghua".

With the entry of the Iron Cavalry, the Nanyang Affairs Bureau successively issued various new decrees, so that the first year of Xuanhe became the "Year of Law" that later generations talked about. Because during this year, new laws and regulations were flying all over the sky, and the imperial court used a new law every month to redefine the "ancestral rules", while Zhao Xing's Nanyang Affairs Bureau used the degree of ten laws a month to introduce regulations.

Month. The imperial court affirmed the political achievements of the Great Song Dynasty in the form of law. Formally define the "Lantian Convention" under the old discussion system of the countryside. Therefrom. The Great Song Dynasty handed over the township-level administrative units to the people's self-government.

Except for the most basic administrative units. The upper echelons of the court also underwent major changes. Imitate Zhao Xingdi's Nanyang Yamen official document process. The Great Song Consul promulgated the Law of Deliberation. It is clearly stipulated that the Imperial Affairs Settlement Procedure will be made according to the opinions of various departments. Officials can only exercise their veto power over pornography. If the government is vetoed three times, the opinion of the government will not change. then the official must agree.

Meantime. In order to help the emperor deal with the huge official business. The scholars decided to hand over the province of Menxia and put it under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor. This is equivalent to the system of modern secretaries. It will be appointed and administered directly by the Emperor. Subsequently. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty announced that the "squire of the men" could directly participate in the ruling meeting to discuss state affairs. Therefrom. The Great Song Dynasty Dynasty transitioned from the coexistence of "left and right phases" to "three-phase coexistence......

The scholars were busy straightening out the political system. Increase the "co-governance of scholars and doctors" component. Zhao Xing was busy rectifying business rules. He issued dozens of laws that month. \ The first place to be introduced is the "Industry Regulations". Under this local ordinance, which is similar to modern commercial law. Zhao Xing established the method for the chamber of commerce to assist the government in the management of commercial land. Ordered all chambers of commerce to issue industry standards and self-discipline regulations by the end of the year.

Followed by. Zhao Xing also promulgated the "Paper Money Law". The three major bills, banknotes, and reserve systems for banks have been determined in the form of law. The imperial court also immediately issued the "Money Payment Law" as a response...... Therefrom. The Great Song Dynasty entered the era of paper money.

At the beginning of the era of paper money. Gold and silver coins are parallel to banknotes. Then. The number of precious metal coins is gradually decreasing. At last. The market has become a place for paper money to dominate the world.

Nanyang Yamen then introduced the Bond Law, which was a supplement to the Numismatic Law. The law stipulates that the imperial court does not have the right to determine the amount of paper money, and the amount of paper money is determined by the bank's reserves, and if the imperial court has temporary financial difficulties, it can only borrow from the people - this kind of borrowing in the name of the state is called "national debt", which is called a debt, and of course must pay interest to the people.

This was followed by the Shang Yi Law (Trade Law, also known as the Contract Law), as well as the Logging Ban Order, the Fishing Ban (also known as the 'Flying Bird Order', the Prohibition of Bird Hunting), the Sales Order (Export of Strategic Goods), the (Government) Bidding Order, the (Local Finance and Taxation) Budget and Final Accounts Order, and the Emergency Situation (Emergency Mobilization) Order......

This law made the Great Song officials dizzy, fortunately, these laws were established based on the rules that existed in the past of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were tried in Guangnan for many years, and its main purpose was to rectify and regulate the commercial economy, so the Great Song officials began to gradually learn and adapt after the initial chaos, but then, Zhao Xing's actions made them more and more incomprehensible.

Zhao Xing then carried out military reform, he waved a knife, the "southeast wealth land" cut down 600,000 soldiers and civilian armed forces, in this period of rebellion, he left only 500 mobile troops on each road. At that time, the southeast region was responsible for the financial endowment of the imperial court, and there were originally three garrisons of the Yirong forbidden army, with 730,000 soldiers, and Zhao Xing's knife made the most powerful force in the territory only a few new troops he formed.

After the disarmament, there was a great expansion of the army, and Zhao Xing announced that under the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, there would be three general staff headquarters, which were equivalent to the privy council of the imperial court, and had the right to allocate and command the army. As soon as the General Staff Headquarters was established, it announced a major expansion of the army, proposing that the Nanyang Affairs Bureau should have the ability to conduct two wars at the same time. To this end, at least one patrol deterrent fleet should be maintained in each ocean, and a reserve fleet sufficient in the harbor to defend against other countries. According to this proposition, the fleet of the Nanyang Yamen should be expanded by at least eight more to make it a regular fleet with at least eleven troops.

With regard to the Sixth Army, the General Staff Headquarters also pointed out that it is necessary to intensify the reorganization of the new army. The Nanyang Yamen must maintain a strong armed force overseas, and it must also maintain a mobile force within its own borders. For this - 200,000 new troops, this is the slogan put forward by the General Staff Headquarters.

In March, Zhao Xing announced that he would go to inspect the counties, and he began to inspect the countryside in various prefectures and counties with the title of "inspection envoy"; at the same time, the staff officers dispatched by the General Staff Headquarters from various places began to gather in Hangzhou, and the Xiuzhou Navy Wharf also began to expand frantically to prepare for the upcoming naval expansion.

In the same month, the Privy Council ordered the gradual transfer of 1.5 million troops from all over the country to the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, which screened and selected the elite to form a new army while reducing redundancy. Relying on the huge wealth plundered by Zhao Xing overseas, the huge army of the Great Song Dynasty shrank by nearly one-half, the imperial court expenditure was greatly reduced, and the reduced manpower quickly eased the tension of the labor force in the southeast.

Of course, in this hectic situation, the imperial court did not forget to mix sand with Zhao Xing's Nanyang Yamen. In the same month, the imperial court ordered the dispatch of literate generals from all over the country to the Nanyang Yamen Staff Headquarters to apprentice and learn the management and command of the new army......

In mid-March, Chen Buting, the commander of Ma Bujun in Tanzhou, Jinghu North Road, rocked all the way to the Hangzhou Canal Wharf in a small boat.

He arrived at noon, and the wharf was crowded with people to and fro; Thousands of boats on the river are still waiting to dock. Chen Buying dangled the folding fan, posed as a literati, and shook his head and chanted: "The southeast shape wins, Jiangwu will be the capital, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times." The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. The clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, the angry waves roll frost and snow, and the moat is endless. The city is full of jewels, and the household is rich and luxurious.

Chonghu Dieqingjia, there are three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus, Qiang pipe clear, Lingge flooding the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby, thousands of horses hugging high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the other day will be good, and return to Fengchi to boast...... Great place, really good place! I said, nephew, wait a while to go ashore and inquire about where the most famous Goolan Washe in Hangzhou is, grandpa, I want to see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ”

Chen Buting's nephew Chen Fang nodded and agreed, the reason why he appeared next to Chen Buting on an errand was also because the Nanyang Yamen required officers to match themselves with logistics service personnel - Zhao Xing called "people around him" with the help of a Song Dynasty word. An officer who is equipped with "people around him" can report to the yamen, and then this "person around him" enjoys official status, but does not have a salary and official benefits.

This is a good thing, rather than cheap others should be cheap their own relatives, so the Nanyang Affairs Bureau prevailed "one person as an official, chicken and dog ascended to heaven", relatives and friends came to serve.

Chen Fang was respectful to his uncle Chen Buting, turned around and changed his face at the boats around the boat, shouting: "Blind your dog eyes, don't you see that this is the official boat?" The official boat also dares to squeeze, there is no royal law? Get out of the way, grandpa, I have military affairs priorities, and you can't afford to offend you if you delay things. ”

The boat that was crowded by him next to him was not easy to provoke, and the strong man on the boat jumped his feet and fought back: "Hugh said that you are an official ship, grandpa, am I not an official ship, this boat is under the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou, Fujian Road, Liupin, you are a man who is dry and waterlogged, don't hurry up and get out of the way." ”

When Chen Buting heard this, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Fujian Road Zhangzhou jurisdiction? On the other side is Brother Sun He, brother, I am Chen Buting from Jinghu Tanzhou, we met in Yizhang, and Brother Sun also went to the staff headquarters to be selected, right? ”

A voice next to him interjected leisurely: "Two little six-rank officials, they dare to shout on the river to give way, and the official ship dares to be presumptuous, the biggest official in Hangzhou is a first-grade official, grandpa and I are a third-grade official, are you not patient to wait?" ”

Chen Buting and Sun He suddenly became angry, and they looked at each other's boats, and now they were civil officials on each other's boats. The two of them lowered their eyebrows even more, and they didn't dare to hide to the side.

After a short stop, the two boats leaned together, Sun He sneaked onto Chen Buting's boat, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Chen, why did your officials from Jinghu also go to the staff headquarters?" ”

Chen Buying frowned and replied: "Brother, I have to be recommended by the old man and officially transferred by the Privy Council, so that I can enter the General Staff Headquarters and be elected...... I heard that the staff headquarters dispatched personnel this time, and some of them just went for training, and Brother Sun is an official of the Nanyang headquarters, so I don't know if he entered the staff headquarters this time, whether he was used as a trainer or a dispatch officer? ”

Sun He also replied with frowns: "Brother Chen has been appointed by the Privy Council - it must be a dispatch officer, my brother is not talented, so he only got one as a trainer, and he plans to follow the officers of the General Staff Headquarters to learn the training method of the new army, and observe the training of the new army by the way." ”

Chen Buting blinked, and immediately asked again: "Brother, you are from Nanyang Yamen, you must know who the most outstanding Oiran in Hangzhou is?" Where is the most famous tick? The younger brother is not talented, but he came to Hangzhou this time to bring all his net worth with him, and he was waiting to read all the flowers and plants in Hangzhou. ”

Sun He replied in a low voice: "Don't be presumptuous, I heard that Hangzhou's excellent Goolan Washe has the 'Pinghuo (shares) of the Taishi, and now the rampant people there are fierce people like Qin Guan and Qin Dacaizi......

Haha, Brother Chen also brought all his net worth, just right, brother, I heard that the staff headquarters has a good salary, so this time I came to Hangzhou, brother, I don't plan to live, all the past savings are on my body, I plan to spend it cleanly, and I will count on the salary of the staff headquarters in the future.

Well, I heard that the navy has a lot of oil and water, if you can get an official position as a captain and drive a small gunboat out, a trip to private goods will earn at least 10,000 yuan, brother and I plan to seek a personal favor to enter the navy - Brother Chen's surname is Chen, and he is by Xie Yinglao's side, I don't know if he is related to the navy Commander Chen (Chen Buqun), does Xie Yinglao's recommendation work? ”

On the boat next to him, the civilian official who had just accosted him interjected idly: "Two bastards who don't learn and don't know how to come to Hangzhou to know that they are looking for a hook bar, and such an idiot also wants to enter the navy, it's funny...... When will he Zhao Liren accept stupidity! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please post 6 sections more, support for \, support genuine reading!) )
