Chapter 1 Ambition

There were only 500 people in the first battalion, which was not much. The position of battalion commander is not high, but becoming a battalion commander is equivalent to becoming a division and regimental officer in modern times, and the road to a higher level has been paved.

A Qingyun road has been opened for Wu Ji!

"Hmm!" Mrs. Zheng nodded very gratefully, smiled, and raised her voice: "Lord Wu, at present, the official family is reusing Jiefu to change the law to become strong, reform the old and make the new, and work hard, and we need talents like you." Lord Wu reads less military books, has his own strategy in his chest, and a sentence that guides him according to the situation shows the key to using soldiers, good! Good! Good! ”

At this time, the Song Dynasty was the Yuanfeng period of Song Shenzong, and it was the peak period of Wang Anshi's reform. Although Wang Anshi's reform failed, Song Shenzong was the emperor who wanted to change the most among the emperors of the Song Dynasty. During this period, he was eager to seek talents and promote talents, if Wu Ji did a good job, once he entered the vision of Song Shenzong, his future was bright!

"Where did I read the book of soldiers?" Wu Ji listened to Mrs. Zheng's praise and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Lord Wu, the battalion commander is one step further, and he is the general, the general who commands an army! With the talent of Lord Wu, this is not difficult. More importantly, this is above the border pass, and the Liao State will invade the border from time to time, and there are wars between the two countries from time to time, which is the stage for Lord Wu. Mrs. Zheng became more and more happy the more she spoke, and her appreciation became stronger and stronger: "Looking at the past and the present, there are only two ways to receive rewards for meritorious service: one is to learn literature, follow the master, and create meritorious deeds." There was Fang Du in the previous dynasty, and Zhao Pu in this dynasty. The second is to join the army, raise a strong army, sweep the world, and establish immortal achievements, the previous dynasty has Li Jing, Wang Zhongsi, Guo Ziyi's generation, and this dynasty has Cao Bin and Di Qing. ”

A strong sense of temptation is full of it: "The officials work hard and do not hesitate to promote talents." General Wang Shaowang, a "Pingrong Policy", the official family entrusted with an important task, guarding the west, and there is a merit of Xihe. This is the border, it is the place where men gallop, if Lord Wu makes contributions, this dynasty may produce a hero like Huo Bixiao! ”

Huo Bixiao refers to the famous general Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty. At the age of eighteen, Huo Quzhi went out with the army as a captain, and died of illness at the age of twenty-four, a total of six hits to the Huns, and established immortal feats.

Mrs. Zheng's praise seems to be very high, but in fact, it is possible. Wu Ji is only eighteen years old, not even nineteen years old, and he is likely to become the youngest general for his meritorious service at the border pass.

If that's the case, it's not necessarily impossible for Biho to get sick.

"Huo Quai? Where is it so easy to compare! Wu Ji knew that it was too difficult to compare with Huo Qu's disease, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

"It's difficult, it's not necessarily impossible!" Mrs. Zheng didn't quite agree with Wu Ji's opinion, and explained with a smile: "Huo Qubing is famous, you think, he just defeated the Huns." And our dynasty, its enemies can be much more than the Han Dynasty, Khitan, Western Xia, Tubo, Western Regions, these places were originally the land of China, since the Han Dynasty belonged to China, our dynasty has not been taken back, which makes people sigh. The official family once said: If the dynasty does not break the Khitan, does not destroy the Western Xia, does not recover Liaodong, does not pacify Tubo, and does not accept the Western Regions, then it cannot be called the unification of the world! ”

"The world is unified?" Wu Ji was a little surprised, didn't the history textbook clearly say that the Song Dynasty unified the country?

"Huh! The official family is a promising king, dare to face up to mistakes! The official family said that the dynasty did not unify China! How big is the land of China? Wu Daren will not be unaware of the fact that the sixteen states of Yanyun, Liaodong, Dadesert, Ganliang, Tubo, Western Regions, Vietnam, and Dali, which do not belong to the national dynasty now, are all the land of China, and they were the land of China in the Han Dynasty. You say, did the dynasty not unify China? Mrs. Zheng's voice was raised and she was very excited: "Since the founding of the dynasty, only the official family dares to face it squarely and dare to say such things!" The official family is ambitious and vows to unify China, which is a good opportunity for my generation of men to make contributions, and we must not miss it! ”

"......" Wu Ji's mouth was open for a long time, but he couldn't speak.

The Song Dynasty unified China, and it was clearly written in the textbooks, Wu Ji's history was not good enough, and he did not study it deeply. After listening to Zheng Tai's words, I couldn't help but feel like an initiation, and I woke up all of a sudden, Song Shenzong was right, the Song Dynasty really did not unify China, but staged another version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with the Khitan and Western Xia.

China's real territory includes not only the land owned by the Song Dynasty, Khitan and Western Xia, but also Vietnam, Nanzhao, Tubo, the Western Regions and the Great Desert.

The Song Dynasty called the emperor an official family. Song Shenzong said such words, which shows that he is ambitious, and if he wants to restore the achievements of his ancestors, the Song Dynasty will have earth-shaking changes!

If he succeeds, the Song Dynasty will restore the majesty of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty will flourish!

"Wang Anshi's reform ended in failure, Song Shenzong's ambition was not realized, since I came to the Song Dynasty, I will help Song Shenzong!" Wu Ji's mind was racing, he was very excited, and set a goal.

The weakest part of the Song Dynasty was not the economy, but the military. The combat power of the Song army is not strong, and Wu Ji can just make up for this shortcoming, if Wu Ji helps, the combat power of the Song army will definitely be greatly improved, break through the Liao State, destroy the Western Xia, and unify China may not be impossible to achieve!

The more Wu Ji thought about it, the more excited he became, and he talked with Zheng Taigao, and the two let go of talking, unrestrained, and talked very happily. It wasn't until her mouth was dry that Mrs. Zheng said goodbye.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zheng asked for a few thunderbolts. Wu Ji thought he was going to defend himself, so he sent a few to him and told him something urgent.

was reminded by Mrs. Zheng, Wu Ji couldn't hold back any longer, and found a complete map of the Song Dynasty, comparing it with the map of modern China in his memory, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the territory of the Song Dynasty was far less than that of modern times.

The North China Plain, Inner Mongolia, the three northeastern provinces, Gansu, Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Yunnan have not been recovered. It was so divided, and the Song Dynasty dared to say that it unified China?

What a shame!

"I heard that the Tang Dynasty was very strong, but I don't know how vast it is?" Thinking of this, Wu Ji couldn't wait any longer, found Mrs. Zheng, borrowed a map of the Tang Dynasty, and compared it with the territory of modern China, it was much larger.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty, which included not only modern China, but also Vietnam, Central Asia, Mongolia, and parts of Siberia, was millions of square kilometers more than modern China.

"The Song Dynasty is really bad!"

Wu Ji looked at the map, he was very emotional, and thought about it: "Fortunately, if the ambitious emperor of Song Shenzong can get my help and use the weapons I made to reproduce the majestic style and prosperous Tang Dynasty of the Qin and Han dynasties, it may not be impossible!" Well, that's it! ”

Wu Ji couldn't help but turn his thoughts: "If I want to have a status in the eyes of Song Shenzong, be able to speak, and be able to influence the situation, I have to show strength!" As the commander of the battalion, I can let go of my hands and feet, train the army well, fight a few battles on the border pass, and establish enough military merits, at that time, I will have a status, and my words will have weight, and I will be able to influence the decision-making of Song Shenzong! ”

People, once they have a goal, they will be very excited, Wu Ji is full of energy, and he only feels that he has inexhaustible energy.

Find Wu Qing and Qiao Dayuan and tell them that Mrs. Zheng plans to let them enter the government as officials. This time, the people of the Wu military industry followed Wu Ji to exterminate the Liufeng thieves and made great contributions, and they could become officials.

However, Wu Qing and the others did not want to be officials, and were willing to follow Wu Qing. Wu Qing couldn't persuade him, so he had to let them.

Next, Wu Ji began to prepare to take over the army.
