Early the next morning, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Kang An, Wang Shu and others headed towards Nanzheng!

Lin Bao is still in the palace, and now Lin Bao is already the head of the palace! It's just that he is the only eunuch in this palace, and the soldiers in the imperial camp may not obey his orders, and Li Gang in the court will naturally not obey his orders! is also the head of the inner house, and his rights are much worse than those of Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others before!

However, for the current Lin Bao, it is already an extremely fortunate thing to be able to save his life after the Twisted and Desirable Rebellion! In a short period of time, he did not dare to have other extravagant hopes!

10,000 soldiers of the imperial camp also followed Zhao Chen to Nanzheng!

On the same day, the soldiers of the imperial battalion also threw themselves into intense training!

Originally, the imperial camp was composed of the strongest part of the Zhejia army! They thought they were the most elite soldiers, far more than the current forbidden army! However, after arriving in Nanzheng, they were shocked to find that the forbidden army was no longer the former Zhejia army, and the current forbidden army was much stronger than them!

Such a discovery made the soldiers of the imperial camp depressed and secretly vowed to try to surpass the forbidden army! After all, as Imperial Soldiers, they have their own pride!

For a whole day, the soldiers trained non-stop!

In the evening, Zhao Chen and Kang An were together, and Zhao Chen said: "Today's training, you imperial soldiers can still withstand it, right?" ”

Kang An laughed and said, "Your Majesty can bear it, why can't they?" This kind of training is the best, I used to stay in the palace every day, and I was lazy! ”

Zhao Chen said: "In the future, this kind of training will be carried out every day!" The Imperial Camp exists to protect me! In the future, I will also go to the battlefield, and these soldiers of the imperial camp will also follow me to the battlefield to kill the enemy! When that time comes, just don't let me down! ”

Kang An said: "Your Majesty, although rest assured, you will never be disappointed!" ”

Intense training is going on day after day!

It's autumn, but the autumn sun is fierce! The officers and soldiers of the forbidden army and the imperial camp are all sweating, and they are not only training!

On the 10th of August, it was raining in the sky, and in such weather, the soldiers of the forbidden army and the imperial camp were still training!

And on the afternoon of this day, the Yamen of the Military Aircraft Department was officially prepared!

Zhao Chen is in the yamen of the military aircraft department at the moment, and Wang Shu is by Zhao Chen's side!

"Your Majesty, there are now more than 20 people in the Yamen of the Military Aircraft Department, mainly to record things, accept secret folds, and issue edicts! Because it is to deal with urgent military information and confidential matters, all things are handled by His Majesty and several military ministers, and they are mainly to help, so they don't need so many people! In the past, there were at least hundreds of officials in both the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, which greatly affected the speed of work! Wang Shu said.

"Excellent! That's how the Military Aircraft Department should be! You immediately issue the first edict of the Military Aircraft Department, telling all the important generals in the frontier that once there is important military information and confidential matters, it will be transmitted to the Military Aircraft Department immediately! As for ordinary military affairs, the distribution of military rations, the distribution of weapons, etc., it is still handled by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, Weichen understands!" Wang Shu said.

The purpose of becoming the Military Aircraft Department is to deal with emergency military situations, and it is to bypass the complex institutions such as the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, so Zhao Chen's order is normal!

"Also, tell the state capitals everywhere that in the future, if you encounter confidential and important matters, you must immediately send them to the military aircraft! For example, when it comes to rebellion, dereliction of duty by important officials, and other matters related to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, they can all be sent to the military aircraft! There are also some things that the state capitals in various places feel that they are important, and they must also be sent to the military aircraft! Zhao Chen said.

"This ...... Your Majesty, these should be sent to the Six Ministries and the Zhongshu Province! Wang Shu was stunned and said.

"In the troubled times, many local things are related to military affairs and involve the security of the country! There are some confidential matters that cannot be known to ordinary officials, and this is also true! Tell me the command. Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, Wechen will do it!" Wang Shu thought for a while and said.

Zhao Chen had already left, Wang Shu was still standing there, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong!

He originally thought that this yamen was just to deal with the military situation in the frontier, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chen would also count the local "confidential matters" into the responsibilities of the Military Aircraft Department! In this way, important generals and important local officials in the frontier can directly have a relationship with Zhao Chen without going through the Privy Council, Zhongshu Province, and the Six Ministries, and Zhao Chen can directly give orders to these generals and officials, and the name is also "handling military affairs"! In this way, wouldn't Zhao Chen be able to control the country's big and small officials and control the country's military and political affairs through the Military Aircraft Department?

The weather outside was already cold, but Wang Shu felt that his whole body was sweating!

"Your Majesty is nominally dealing with military affairs, and on the surface it seems that he wants to overhead the curved ends, but in fact he wants to elevate the entire court and replace the entire court with the military aircraft department! From now on, the power of the Military Aircraft Department is supreme! The so-called prime minister and deputy prime minister, if they do not enter the military aircraft department, it is not worth mentioning at all! As for the Minister of Military Aircraft, His Majesty has now appointed three, but Your Majesty can also let us leave the Military Aircraft Department and return to the original Yamen on the grounds that we are busy with other affairs! Such a method is truly unprecedented! Military Aircraft Division, it looks like I'm going to stay here! As long as I stay here, although I am only the deputy minister, the right is by no means under Li Gang! Wang Shu was shocked at first, and then a trace of ambition appeared in his eyes!

It's just that he also understands that the Minister of Military Aircraft is completely different from the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister, and the power of the Minister of Military Aircraft comes entirely from Zhao Chen, and the appointment of the Minister of Military Aircraft is also decided by Zhao Chen! If you want to be a good minister of military aircraft, in addition to showing your talents, you must also be loyal to Zhao Chen, and nothing can happen against Zhao Chen's wishes!

"Since ancient times, China has never had a 'Military Aircraft Department' organization! In the past, there were powerful ministers who oppressed the emperor, but as soon as the military aircraft came out, His Majesty really has the supreme monarchy, who can bully the emperor? Your Majesty is whatever it is, and who dares to resist? If Your Majesty is a faint monarch, this Great Song Dynasty world is completely finished, but fortunately, Your Majesty is not a faint monarch! Wang Shu stood there for a long time, until his clothes were already wet with sweat, and then he came back to his senses!

At that moment, he immediately conveyed Zhao Chen's two orders, not to mention them.

*** ***

On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming!

On this day, Zhao Chen still did not return to the palace, he spent fifteen years with the officers and soldiers in the army!

The emperor celebrated the festival with ordinary soldiers, which had never happened before in China! The soldiers were grateful, needless to say!

After the soldiers dispersed, Zhao Chen was with Yue Fei, Kang An, and Wang Shu!

Zhao Chen said: "You have also seen that our army has changed a lot!" On the one hand, it's because I'm here to train with them, and on the other hand, it's because of propaganda and education! Wang Shu, those literati and talents you have installed in the army, they have also played a great role! ”

Wang Shu nodded and said, "These are His Majesty's ideas, and Weichen is just implementing them!" But this idea is really good, the soldiers used to be very lazy, they were only soldiers to eat food and get paid, but now they understand that they are fighting for His Majesty, for the Great Song Dynasty, and for the people of the world! In this way, the soldiers have to train much harder! In the future, when they come to the battlefield, they will definitely fight hard, far better than before! ”

Zhao Chen said: "That's the truth! But in addition to propagating such ideas to the soldiers, it is also necessary to propagate similar ideas to the common people! ”

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment and said, "Promote similar ideas to the people? ”

Zhao Chen said: "Not bad! Ordinary people don't like to be soldiers, there is a saying that being a good man is not a soldier, if you can't live, no one wants to be a soldier! We Han people are unwilling to be soldiers, unwilling to fight, unwilling to resist, the Jurchens are coming, and the vast majority of Han people can only be slaughtered by the Jurchens, and this phenomenon must also be changed! ”

Wang Shu nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

Yue Fei next to him also agreed, and said: "Your Majesty, there are many Han people, but when I was in Hedong, only a small number of people dared to stand up against the Jurchens, and most of them were bullied by the Jurchens!" The people's minds remain the same, and it is difficult to eliminate the Jurchens! ”

Zhao Chen said: "That's why I said that I need publicity!" Wang Shu, this matter will be handed over to you! ”

The meaning of propaganda, ancient and modern, there is no difference! It's all about explaining to people, educating people, spreading and publicizing! In the Tang Dynasty's non-empty "Xie En Xu New Translation of the Scriptures into the Catalogue Popular Table", there is a saying that "the holy scriptures that have been translated by the empty for more than 40 years, and the three dynasties have come, praising the merits and aiming to promote"! Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty also once had the saying of "using the industry of a scripture in vain to promote chapters and sentences"!

It's just that the propaganda of ancient times is generally propaganda to people with culture and high social status, and there is rarely a truth of propaganda to ordinary people!

At that moment, Wang Shu was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, what is the main thing to promote?" ”

Zhao Chen said: "I've been thinking about this matter these days, you listen, it mainly includes the following aspects, the first is to publicize the importance of the army, tell the people that the soldiers have made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty and the country, and the people must support the soldiers, treat the soldiers well, and let the people understand the glory of being a soldier!" Second, I want to tell the people that we Han people are the best people in the world, we have created a glorious civilization, and the Jurchens are just barbarians, and they are not worthy of lifting our shoes, but the Jurchens are fierce and brutal, and have invaded our countless territories! Preach our greatness, the tyranny of the Jurchens! Third, we must tell the people that we Han people have had the spirit of sacrifice since ancient times, and we must dare to sacrifice and sacrifice! In short, as long as it is conducive to the War of Resistance, it must be propagandized! ”

Wang Shu nodded and said, "Wechen has written it down!" Tomorrow I'll start working on a strategy for it, preferably a book! ”

Zhao Chen smiled: "This is the best! From today onwards, you are the Minister of Propaganda under the Military Aircraft Department! This propaganda also has an important relationship with military affairs, if you need manpower and financial resources, you can ask for it from other yamen of the imperial court in the name of handling urgent military affairs in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, and no one can stop it! ”

Wang Shu said: "Weichen understands! ”

The moon is very bright tonight, and the soldiers have already fallen asleep one after another, and Zhao Chen is taking Yue Fei, Kang An and others to inspect the barracks at the moment!

The reason why he wanted Wang Shu to "propagandize" was mainly to form a situation in Hanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, and Guanshan to support the war from top to bottom!

After such a situation was formed, it was possible for him to implement the compulsory military system and even some other policies conducive to the War of Resistance!

Now the number of soldiers in his hands is limited, not that he is unwilling to recruit soldiers, but that the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty are unwilling to become soldiers! Moreover, after experiencing the rebellion, at that time, the people were even more afraid of being a soldier! In this case, in order to expand the number of troops, the only way to do this is to first carry out propaganda and education! After that, it was possible to introduce a compulsory military system, so that a large number of soldiers entered the army!

"During the Warring States Period, the Qin State was located in the northwest, and its national strength may not be comparable to the Jin State and the Chu State, but the Qin State dominated the world! Because at that time, the Qin State implemented a compulsory military system, and all men over the age of fifteen had to enlist in the army! At that time, all aspects of the Qin State's politics, economy, culture and education were all in the service of military expansion and foreign expansion! Now I am in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, and the terrain is somewhat similar to that of the Qin State back then, and I also want to make all aspects of the whole country serve the war! Realize the situation that all the people are soldiers and all the people are fighting! After all, it's militarism! Yes, it's militaristic! Historically, any country that practices a militaristic system has a huge military power in a short period of time! This was the case in the Qin State, and so was the Germany in Europe in later generations! Germany had just suffered defeat in the First World War, but after a few short years, the militaristic Germany had regained the military power to challenge the whole of Europe! The Great Song Dynasty became dead under the policy of the emperors of the past dynasties to worship literature and suppress martial arts, and today I use the militaristic system to reinvigorate the martial spirit of this country and this nation! Zhao Chen said secretly.

In today's chaos, if you want to have extraordinary military strength in a short period of time, the militaristic system is the fastest way!

It's just that even if you want to implement all this, you have to do it step by step, and a traditional civil servant like Li Gang will definitely not accept such a system! Zhao Chen wants to unconsciously implement such a system! Now he asked Wang Shu to carry out "propaganda" is one of the measures taken!

"Curved end? Don't you come yet? I've stopped their rations! When he looked in the northwest direction, Zhao Chen had a faint worry in his heart!
