Chapter 45: Woody's Helplessness

Although Zhao Shu was very interested in the affairs of the military system, he did not forcibly leave Woody behind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hu Di is just a civil official who knows little about martial arts, and Zhao Shu is also bullshit. If you continue to talk nonsense here, you won't be able to pull out anything. However, Ling Feng was born in the Western Army and had gone through battlefield battles, so he should know a little about martial arts, so it was better to ask him.

After Hu Di arranged Zhao Shu and the others, he said goodbye and retired.

Only Zhao Shu and Ling Feng were left in the room, staring at each other with big eyes.

mentioned the military system, which reminded Zhao Shu of when his brother was still alive in later generations, and his brother once said to himself that the current military system in China adopts a conscription system.

China has a complete military service system, that is, a large number of young people are conscripted from all over the country every year to join the army, and they are active troops, and they are given generous monthly and annual benefits. Soldiers on active duty do not serve for life, but serve for two to three years, then retire, and after retirement, they become reserves, and the state will only give generous treatment to reserve soldiers at this time, after which the reserve is a citizen.

If the country enters a state of large-scale all-out war like the War of Resistance, the Category A Army, which consists of active forces, can be immediately put into the battlefield. Category B armies that are not fully staffed must be expanded, and reservists will be recruited for the expansion.

This military system allows the country not to have to spend huge expenses to raise up to five or six million soldiers, but it can recruit a large-scale armed force with extremely combat effectiveness in emergency wartime.

In addition, China has a system of non-commissioned officers and militia. Needless to say, the militia is a bit like the state's mercenary system, the state will be the most capable soldiers whose service period is about to expire or recruit citizens with corresponding abilities from the civilian sector to sign contracts to form non-commissioned officers, and non-commissioned officers are divided into different ranks and have different service periods, but this mercenary system in China is only for Chinese citizens.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Shu told Ling Feng his thoughts, hoping that this advanced military service system from later generations would make Ling Feng's eyes shine.

"Your Highness! His Royal Highness's idea may be clever, but the military system is determined by Emperor Taizu, and it is the law of the ancestors that cannot be changed. The emperors of the past dynasties strictly obeyed it, even if the law was as strong as Fan Gong, the prince did not dare to easily shake this law. Even the saints today would not dare to do this. If His Highness has to do this, it is really a great disapproval of the world! Zhao Shu originally wanted to find a like-minded comrade, but he didn't expect to be poured cold water on Ling Feng's head.

However, Ling Feng's words alerted Zhao Shu and made him break out in a cold sweat behind his back. Although the things of the later generations are good, they may not be able to be implemented in this era. If Zhao Shu forcibly implements it, I am afraid that everyone in the world will end up being punished.

Since this is the case, there is no enthusiasm at all, and Zhao Shu doesn't want to say anything more. With a wave of his hand, Ling Feng took his leave.

Zhao Shu lay on the bed as soon as he lay sideways, this time Zhao Shu knew how tired he was, and he immediately fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.

The next morning, Zhao Shu woke up from the bed in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and stretched by the way.

"Your Highness, you're awake, it's time to wash."

Zhao Shu was stunned, this was Ling Feng's voice. It turned out that Mingyue was arranged by Hu Di to another room yesterday, and Mingyue was now pregnant, so it was inconvenient to take care of Zhao Shu, so Ling Feng would do it for her.

Zhao Shu answered, and after washing his face casually. He asked Ling Feng to lead the way and came to Mingyue's room.

Zhao Shu ordered Ling Feng to stay outside and walked into Mingyue's room alone.

Pushing open the door, Zhao Shu closed the door from the inside. Seeing someone push the door in, Mingyue, who was sitting on the bed, was stunned for a moment.

Seeing the bright moon, Zhao Shu was indescribably happy. With a slight smile, he walked to Mingyue and sat down, looking at Mingyue's growing lower abdomen, Zhao Shu was also inexplicably excited in his heart, this was the fruit of his labor.

Touching Mingyue's lower abdomen, Zhao Shu put his head on it to hear what was going on inside.

Mingyue smiled shyly and said, "Xianggong~"

As he spoke, he gently put his white and tender little hand on Zhao Shu's head.

Mingyue's sudden change of words made Zhao Shu extremely happy, and he replied immediately, "Lady~"

At this moment, Mingyue's face turned even redder with shame, and she didn't know what to say.

"You see, if your husband does what he says, doesn't this take you and the child out of the palace? In the future, I will definitely give you a name and let you be the daughter-in-law of my Zhao family in a dignified manner. Zhao Shu quipped.

It's just that Zhao Shu didn't pay attention, and at this moment, Mingyue's face did not show a trace of joy, revealing more melancholy and sadness.

Mingyue didn't speak for a long time, which made Zhao Shu a little strange and asked, "Lady! What happened to you? ”

Mingyue shook her head and replied inexplicably: "Xianggong, if you know my background in the future, will you still like me?" ”

Mingyue's eyes were so serious now, Zhao Shu didn't notice it, but he felt that what she said was really weird, and he said without thinking: "That's necessary, I must only love you alone." By the way, what's wrong with your background? ”

Mingyue still shook her head and prevaricated: "You will know later." ”

At this time, Zhao Shu was a little unhappy, and asked, "Where do you have to wait until then?" How long will it take to be in the future? ”

Mingyue still refused to say, Zhao Shu was helpless, and he didn't want to continue asking. Anyway, she will say it sooner or later, and she is not in a hurry at this time.

In this way, Zhao Shu gently leaned on Mingyue's bulging lower abdomen and accompanied Mingyue. I survived the whole morning.

At noon that day, after eating, he and Ling Feng went out to wander around the street a few times. Caozhou City is not big, but what makes Zhao Shu sigh is that Hu Di, the governor of the state, is quite dutiful. Although it is still winter, the moat of Caozhou has not frozen, the moat is well played, and the city defense facilities are also readily available.

What rejects horses, fences, are all very well repaired. The people of the city also lived and worked in peace and contentment.

It's just that Caozhou is located in the Central Plains, far away from the scourge of war. In addition, it is another lower state, so the imperial court is not concerned about the defense of Caozhou, so it does not allocate special funds to increase the defense of Caozhou.

But despite this, Woody has done a good job. The only drawback is that there are really few officers and soldiers in the city.

Dozens of officers and soldiers guarded the four gates of Caozhou, southeast, northwest, and northwest, and this configuration really made Ling Feng and Zhao Shu embarrassed.

The two of them were idle and bored, so they wanted to go to the Zhizhou Yamen to have a look. I want to see how Woody governs.

After asking passers-by about the road conditions. The two walked through a few streets and alleys as if they were strolling, and they saw a courtyard with a blue brick and vermilion lacquer door, and two stone lions were placed on both sides of the door. On the lintel, there are three big characters of "Zhizhou Mansion".

This is the Zhizhou Mansion, seeing this Zhizhou Mansion, Zhao Shu was stunned and said: "Why doesn't this Zhizhou Mansion even have a gatekeeper?" "In later generations, the municipal buildings of a city were all guarded.

"Caozhou city defense is short of manpower, and the government officials have been sent to assist the defenders in guarding the city defense, and the yamen of the Zhizhou Mansion is estimated to not have so many manpower, where is there still someone to guard the gate of the Zhizhou Mansion?" Ling Feng didn't seem surprised at all and explained.

Zhao Shu gasped, this Caozhou is in the southwest of Jeju, and Jeju is where Liangshan Song Jiang and others are entrenched. Fortunately, Song Jiang had no ambition to overthrow the imperial court, if they called Caozhou, would Caozhou still be able to hold it? Caozhou can't hold it, then Song Jiang and others can take Bianjing to the west, and Nanjing Yingtianfu to the south, if this is the case, the Great Song Dynasty is really in danger, so there is no need to wait for the Jin people to enter the army and go south.

The two were speechless, and walked into the Zhizhou Mansion at a glance. The governor's mansion was empty. Zhao Shu was very unfamiliar with this ancient bureaucratic courtyard structure, but Ling Feng was familiar with it. Zhao Shu followed Ling Feng and walked to the lobby of the Zhizhou Mansion in less than a while.

I saw a person sitting in front of the desk, touching his head with his right hand, looking very worried. Zhao Shu recognized it at a glance, this person was Hu Di, the governor of Caozhou.

Hu Di is in this state, he doesn't even know that Zhao Shu and others walked into the mansion.

"Master Hu, what are you worried about?" Zhao Shu walked up to Woody's side and asked softly.

Zhao Shu's question really startled Woody. Seeing that it was Zhao Shu, he was a little panicked, immediately stood up with his hands and clenched his fists, bowed down and said, "I don't know that Lord Qincha has arrived, and the lower officials have missed the distance, please forgive me." ”

Zhao Shu waved his hand, he was not a formalist, he didn't care about these things, and said, "Master Hu, what are you thinking about?" ”

Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Hu Di sighed helplessly, smashed the stack of official documents on the table, and said: "Recently, I heard the official documents of Zhongshu Province, Fang La's thieves have already taken two Huai, and Yangzhou has been lost. This matter has shaken the government and the opposition, and the Zhongshu Province issued an official document asking the states and counties near Gyeonggi to enter the war readiness, but you have also seen it, my Caozhou Yamen even sent out the yamen, and now there is not even a guard at the door, but the Caozhou guards can't even get together a hundred people, this... This is how I am ready for war! Alas! ”
