Volume 7 Yan Yun Rush Chapter 605 [Secret Covenant]

When he came out of the Privy Council, it was already the second watch, and it was basically the creation of the Imperial Car Army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, in terms of soldiers, in addition to the first part of the right wing of the Japanese army that was promised early on (20,000 fictitious formations, but 9,02 in actual formation), 5,000 crossbowmen were drawn from each of the Tianwu, Shenwei, and Longwei armies, and elite archers were drawn from the remaining 15 forbidden armies to make up the difference of 50,000.

As for the station, according to Tong Guan's meaning, it should naturally be outside Tokyo, but Huang Jie proposed that the chariot soldiers were quite noisy during the exercise, and if the station was located outside Tokyo, he was afraid that it would be difficult to keep it secret, so he followed Huang Jie's suggestion to choose the station of the imperial chariot army in Niutou Mountain, Zhuxian Town, forty miles south of Tokyo.

As for why you chose Zhuxian Town, you don't need to go into details, right?

In terms of officers, Huang Jie, the sixteen people brought by Gao Yu and the seed division today, including Guan Sheng, naturally accepted all the orders, and Lin Chong was also smoothly transferred, directly with him for the official position of commanding both the left wing and the left army.

In addition, there is another person who is embarrassed by Huang Jie, and that is Yue Fei, who is now preparing for the martial arts exam.

Naturally, I want to say more here, the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty also decomposes the three-level examination system of the test, the provincial test, and the palace test. Song Wuju changed the Tang Wuju's practice of only emphasizing martial arts and not asking about articles, and paid attention to examining the military theoretical literacy of Wu Juzi, hoping to select Confucian generals who were both talented and civil and military. Although the Song Dynasty went through ups and downs, it finally institutionalized martial arts and compiled the textbook - "Seven Books of Wujing", and the imperial court promulgated the "Law of Supplementing Officials and Paying Differences", and closely integrated the awarding of martial arts with the construction of the army.

The examination is generally registered at the end of June every year, and the exam is taken in August. In addition, there must be a qualification test before the examination, which is directly assessed by the magistrates of all walks of life, and there is no limit to the number of people, as long as the bow horse is qualified, you can participate in the examination, and the examination is presided over by the military department, and the number of places taken is limited to a certain extent, generally about 70 people.

And Yue Fei was insured by Wang Huang before, that is, he could be exempted from the qualification test before the examination and directly entered the martial arts study and preparation.

The provincial examination after the examination is presided over by the Ministry of War, which is the real "military department test", and the time is in January or February of the second year after the examination. After passing the provincial examination, you can officially enter the martial arts study and wait for the palace examination, because the palace examination cycle of martial arts is mostly once every three years, and there are also once every four years, although the palace examination is personally tested by the emperor, but it is basically just a formality, the purpose is to show the emperor's grace, as long as there is no major problem, as long as all the studies in the martial arts are completed, all participants can basically pass, and the martial champion is mostly based on the candidates' grades and the emperor's likes and dislikes.

Therefore, the choices in front of Huang Jie are: first, let Yue Fei continue to study in martial arts; Second, he was directly incorporated into the Imperial Car Army as a general.

After soliciting the opinions of Tong Guan and Gao Yu, they all thought that it was rare to have the opportunity to study in martial arts, and besides, Yue Fei was still young, and his future was great, so he must not be delayed.

After returning to the mansion, he also found that Zhao Fujin was still waiting for him, so he happily had a supper with Zhao Fujin, but when Huang Jie was about to finish last night's "unfinished business", he called the old mother who accompanied him to stop him, saying that the time tonight was not good, not the auspicious time for cohabitation and conception, and also specially reported the auspicious time for the next five or six days, and it was actually morning.

As a last resort, Huang Jie could only sleep alone.

After that, for two days, the Song court boycotted the dynasty, and when the three-day period arrived, Zhao Guan's family suddenly felt a cold wind and stopped for five days. It wasn't until the first day of the seventh month that the Zhao Guanjia, who looked sick, also showed up, and signed a peace agreement with the envoys of the Liao State to marry the eldest princess of the Liao State, but they excused themselves and said that after the calculation of the Qin Tianjian, there is no auspicious day of the zodiac from the end of this year to the middle of next year, so the matter of marrying the princess can only be postponed to the end of next year, but the dowry (annual coin) worth one million yuan promised by the Song court will be allocated to the Liao Dynasty at the end of this year.

In addition to the fields required by the Liao State, the Song court also generously opened 23 additional fields along the Song-Liao border, and lifted the ban on the Liao's ironware, leather, oil, and other strategic materials, and even allowed the Liao merchants to pay taxes in kind at the actual value of the goods, instead of the previous mandatory exchange of various money, official quotations, and money banknotes for taxation in the Great Song Dynasty.

As for the boycott of the army, the Liao State promised not to commit it for ten years, and the Great Song Dynasty promised not to increase the troops.

After sending off the Liao envoy, Zhao Guanjia once again ascended to Pinglou to hold a banquet to entertain the Jin envoy, and also signed a secret agreement with the Jin State.

First of all, the three princesses of the Jin Kingdom must not be in vain, so the prince Zhao Heng was promised to marry the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom as a concubine (the widow cannot be a concubine), the third prince Zhao Kai married the second eldest princess as the side princess (Zhao Kai already had a concubine), and the fifth prince Su Wang Zhao Shu married the third princess as the concubine.

As for why it is one, three or five, it is because the second and fourth children under the knees of Zhao Guan's family died early, so they can only be ranked in the top cylinder.

In addition, the Song Dynasty also made a bloody investment in the dowry, first of all, 300,000 jin of gold (copper coins), 3,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, 50,000 stones of grain, 5,000 quintals of salt and tea, and 100,000 horses of cloth and silk. In addition, the Song court also promised military equipment support for 10,000 armor (leather armor), 3,000 heavy armor (iron armor), 3,000 war bows, 300,000 arrows, and 10,000 war knives.

Of course, the Song Dynasty also played a trick, when Gao Yu directly led Li Shanqing to the Ordnance Prison, and then asked people to take out the brand-new Song Dynasty infantry armor and the imitation Liao Army heavy armor from the warehouse in front of him, dismantled and made the old armor on the spot, and quickly made a new pair of armor rusty, and even found rotten and rusty hemp ropes and worn leather parts to rearrange the armor pieces, and made the new armor into old armor.

Then told Li Shanqing that the purpose of this was to remove the suspicion of the Great Song Dynasty, so as not to cause trouble in the Liao Kingdom. Of course, Li Shanqing expressed his support for this, not to mention that these things were obtained for nothing, even if they were old, they were done in front of him, what were they afraid of, as long as they were easy to use.

Then as soon as Li Shanqing left, Gao Yu hurriedly dug out the old goods that really pressed the bottom of the box from the armor warehouses in various places and made up enough for him.

After sending away the Jin envoy, there was finally only the Western Xia envoy left, and the attitude of the Song court at this time was: Prisoners, not a single one! New Year's coins, don't give a penny! The head of the Song Army's commander, you can take it yourself!

Of course, there is still room for improvement, and the other option given is that Li Qianshun himself personally came to Tokyo Bianliang to confess his guilt and become a minister, and from then on he changed the land and returned to the stream, and merged the Western Xia into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!

In this regard, Li Dongzheng did not say a word, said goodbye and left!

It's just that before he left Beijing, he came to ask to see Huang Jie once, but Huang Jie naturally didn't dare to see him! (To be continued.) )
