Zhao Hao's long sword shook, and the beads of blood fell to the ground, and he said coldly: "Are you not convinced?" ”

The forbidden army's faces were obviously full of anger, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly said in unison: "I won't accept it!" ”

Zhao Hao sneered: "Very good, those who are not convinced will stand in the middle!" ”、

As soon as the words fell, there was another roar: "Lao Tzu is not convinced!" ”

Everyone looked back, only to see a battalion commander striding forward, with a face full of indignation and said: "In the land of Heshuo, there has been no war for a hundred years, and we have always come over like this, and we are not afraid that we will all rebel?" ”

Zhao Hao finally knew Yang Weizhong's helplessness, where was this soldier, it was simply a group of scoundrels like the national football team.

The Song Dynasty practiced conscription rather than conscription.

The evolution of conscription into conscription was originally a historical necessity, and for rulers, it could prevent "strong scoundrels" and "howling gatherings"; For the direct producers, most of the military service and part of the labor can be exempted, "to ensure the joy of flesh and blood together". In addition, the implementation of the conscription system has made the armed forces professional and professional, which is conducive to the high quality of the armed forces.

However, since the actual implementation of the conscription system in the Song Dynasty, this has not been the case, and there are many drawbacks.

The disadvantages of the conscription system in the Song Dynasty are, first, "redundant soldiers" and second, "arrogance of soldiers".

The so-called redundancy of troops is the maintenance of a large and redundant standing army. The financial revenue of the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of the Han and Tang dynasties, but the imperial court could not make ends meet for a long time because of the huge military expenditure. Almost seven-eight-tenths or five-sixths of the state's annual fiscal revenue is spent on military spending. The huge military expenditure has greatly increased the tax burden of the common people, making it difficult for the direct producers to extricate themselves from the misery of poverty and thus to further develop production.

The so-called arrogance of soldiers refers to the "arrogance" of the generals and colonels of the army, and the weak combat effectiveness. In the later period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the border counties "or Baishou did not meet an enemy, and they did not experience a war for life, and they all sat on the military reserve, and they were fortunate to receive food and clothing. If there is a rooster crowing and a dog barking, the hand cannot be rested, the eyes cannot distinguish the flag, and the merit of defending it is one hundred and the same." Emperor Renzong, along the border of Hebei, "the arrogant generals are lazy, the grain is scarce, and the main soldier is not a young man, that is, he is dismissed from the old school", "the training is in name only, and those who hear it can be chilled".

Especially during the time of Zhao Ji, the military and political corruption of the imperial court, "the law of persuasion and frustration is bad, the wind of arrogance is formed, the war is dead, the enemy is defeated, the small is Hogo to seize and succeed, the big is to kill and plunder the infant city and rebel, and there are few available soldiers in the world", which finally led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. The excessive raising of troops caused the Song Dynasty to be "poor" and "weak" for a long time, and became an important factor in the Song Dynasty's "self-disaster" and "self-defeat".

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for the elite soldiers of the Western Army, who fought and died with the Western Xia all the year round, the forbidden army in most of the rest of the regions compared the soldiers to an iron rice bowl waiting for death, and had forgotten the basic duties of the soldiers, and even lacked the blood and soul of the soldiers.

The Heshuo forbidden army is not terrible, I am afraid that it will be like the national football team, I am rotten and I am reasonable, I am so rotten that I am justified, rotten out of a body of anger, rotten out of the momentum of anger and rushing to the crown, this is the saddest!

This is also why the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army had millions of troops, about the same as the total population of the Jurchens, but they were swept all the way by the Jurchens, and within a few years, they laid down half of the Song Dynasty.

On the contrary, Yue Fei was able to hit the effect of 500 to 100,000 because of the high quality of the soldiers.

This is the so-called soldier is not too many, too many scum soldiers, as soon as the impact collapses, it will mess up and have a negative effect.

The sparks in Zhao Haowei's eyes were about to burst out, but his face was still calm, and he said lightly: "Those who are not convinced, all stand in the middle, let Ben General see what kind of heroes they are!" ”

The battalion commander snorted coldly, and took the lead in walking to Chen Yuhou's side in the middle: "Come out, I'm afraid of a bird, is it possible that he dares to kill us all!" ”

At his instigation, thirty or forty people soon gathered around him, one by one, with their necks strained and their faces full of fighting spirit.

Zhao Hao looked at them coldly, turned around and asked, "Who else?" ”

The rest seemed to see that the situation was not good, and they didn't dare to come over again, but they heard the battalion commander laugh and scold: "I'm afraid to come here, Lao Tzu hasn't committed any crimes, it's a big deal to scold thirty rods, scratch Lao Tzu!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and a few more people stood up.

Finally, no one came over, and the battalion commander stared at Zhao Hao with a provocative expression.

Zhao Hao looked coldly at the group of people in front of him, and suddenly laughed, laughing cruelly: "Kill on the spot, don't leave a single one!" ”

Before the words fell, the long sword shook, and the head of a military man in front of him flew up.

The soldier was still sneering, and suddenly felt that his neck was empty, and then he felt dizzy, and then he saw his headless body gushing blood, and he was so frightened that he wanted to open his mouth and shout, but he was overwhelmed by the boundless darkness.

The surrounding brocade-clothed guards were already eager to try, and when they heard Zhao Hao's order, they all pulled out their weapons, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and slaughtered on a large scale. I could only hear a chaotic sound of clattering and banging, and then screams erupted, blood spurted, and flesh and bones splattered. The soldiers were originally unarmed, and they encountered first-class fierce generals, and they had no power to fight back, and a large number of them fell in a blink of an eye.

By the time the battalion commander reacted, there were only a few people left around, and the rest of the people, who were still standing beside them just now, all fell in a pool of blood at this moment, and there was not a single person alive.

The battalion commander's mouth was wide open, and his eyes, which were originally full of anger, were replaced by great horror in an instant.

Who is this young general, it's just crazy!

Although the Song Dynasty gave preferential treatment to scholars and doctors and suppressed military generals, this was only a difference in political treatment, but it was not bad in other treatments, and military discipline and military regulations were even more lax.

Therefore, this group of military men, although they saw Zhao Hao angrily killing Chen Yuhou, did not fear at all, but rose up to resist it. The so-called law does not blame the public, they don't believe that Zhao Hao dares to lynch so many people against him, let alone kill them on the spot.

If they had known that what was standing in front of them was a ruthless man who dared to kill nearly a hundred scholars and doctors at one time, they would not have been so arrogant.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now!

Puff puff puff ~

Before the battalion commander could react first, the soldiers around him were already frightened, and the two tremblers fell to their knees together, crying and shouting: "The general spares his life!" ”

Zhao Hao had a lot of blood on his body, and his face was also splashed with a lot of blood, and his face was full of murderous energy: "Kill!" ”

It is better to die dozens of people than tens of millions of innocent compatriots!

What is the use of eating the wages of the people and the country, but having no blood and soul as soldiers, and not knowing shame, but being justified and strong?

Click~

Several more cold lights flashed, and the remaining soldiers also fell down in terror.

At this time, the commander of the battalion finally understood who the person in front of him was, and exclaimed: "Shou Anhou! ”

In the 150 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, he has not killed a single scholar, and the Marquis of Shou Anhou of this dynasty has killed nearly 100 people in Jingxi, which is not only talked about in the government and the opposition, but also widely praised in the ranks.

Because for the generals who have been suppressed by the scholars, this is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching thing, so it is also a big publicity, it seems that Zhao Hao has spoken out for them, and the commander of this battalion naturally knows about it.

He never expected that one day, the former Shou Anhou would also put a butcher knife on his neck.

It's just that God gave him time to regret it, but didn't give him a chance to regret it......

Burst~

With a wave of Zhao Hao's long sword, a big head rose into the sky, and the blood on the broken neck sprayed Zhao Hao's body.

"Order all the generals above the battalion commander of the Heshuo Forbidden Army to come here to gather, and they are going to give a lecture!"

"Whoa!"

At this moment, even Yang Weizhong, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was shocked by Zhao Hao, and his voice became very respectful.

In less than half an hour, all the generals above the battalion commander, about 200 people, gathered in front of Zhao Hao, standing next to the blood and corpses in that place, standing solemnly.

Everyone already knew what was going on the way here, and they also knew who the person who came was sacred, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath, and their expressions trembled.

A ruthless master who can ignore the legacy of Taizu's oath and kill hundreds of scholars and doctors, for a group of generals like them, they really dare not provoke.

In the air, there was a strong smell of blood and death, making the barracks, which was originally like a vegetable market, finally have a bit of iron and blood.

Zhao Hao's voice was colder than death: "Starting tomorrow, all soldiers must be ordered and trained intensively, unless those who can't move, those who can't be ordered will be killed!" ”

"Whoa!" Everyone responded loudly, for fear that their voices would be low and Zhao Hao would pull them out.

"Train the troops for four hours a day, and you must not slack off!"

"Whoa!"

"Those who are incompetent, the soldiers are turned into auxiliaries, and the auxiliaries are turned into civilian husbands; Those who do not abide by military discipline and collide with the peak will be killed on the spot! ”

"Whoa!"

Finally, Zhao Hao turned to look at Yang Weizhong and said coldly: "General Yang, this county prince has entrusted you to do one thing." ”

Yang Weizhong said urgently: "Please publicize it to the county!" ”

"I beg the general to write an article entitled "The Responsibility of a Soldier," and hand it over to the county lord tomorrow. Once the draft is finalized, the commander above the battalion commander will be organized to familiarize himself with it, and then all the officers and men will be organized to study it with the battalion as a unit! ”

"Whoa!"

Zhao Hao nodded slightly, motioned for everyone to disband on the spot, and led the generals of the brocade guards to stride away.

When I walked to the gate, I saw that the guards were standing upright one by one, holding weapons in their hands, standing solemnly.

"See the county lord!"

The voice was noticeably louder and more powerful than it had been at first.
