Chapter 110 Suppression

I only heard Li Shi say: "In view of the current military constraints, and the laws and regulations of this dynasty, we will discuss it with the Privy Council." The Privy Council decided to give you 30,000 yuan to recruit soldiers among the refugees, but you can only form an army of soldiers at most! The troop strength includes the current subordinate forbidden army of the prince! ”

The establishment of this army, don't look like a lot, although in ancient times there was a commander of the three armies, it was said that the three armies had a lot of troops. In fact, the establishment of the forbidden army in the Northern Song Dynasty was different from ancient and modern. The Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army was one hundred people, five capitals and one battalion, five battalions and one army, and ten armies.

In other words, the full strength of the first army is only 2,500 people, and more than eighty percent of them are recruited by Zhao Yu himself from among the refugees. In theory, an infantry battalion should be 500 people, but in reality there are only about 400 people, and the cavalry battalion is even smaller, only 300 cavalry, and some even less than 300 cavalry.

Zhao Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Thirty thousand, what a lot of money!" And that's not even including equipping weapons! Does Li Xianggong want to take the king with unarmed soldiers and escort the grain with his bare hands? ”

Li Shi was very thick-skinned, and said with a look of grievance: "Lord Wang, you have wronged me, isn't there 30,000 yuan in military expenses?" This is 30,000 guan, do you know how useful 30,000 guan is? It's enough for 10,000 households to spend a month! ”

Song Renzong can actually see that Zhao Yu was suppressed by a group of prime ministers, but Song Renzong's surname is soft, and the current prime ministers are all people who worked hard to push themselves to the top at the beginning, and there is really no good way to mediate. Because of this, Song Renzong listened to the plan with an unnatural face and did not say a word.

But at this point, Song Renzong also felt that Li Shi and the others had gone too far. After all, Zhao Yu is also his own brother! Song Renzong couldn't help but interject: "Li Xianggong, 30,000 guan is indeed a lot, but it should cost a lot to buy weapons, so you can give some to the king of Changsha!" ”

Song Renzong opened his mouth, and Li Shi was not good at refusing. However, as the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures.

Li Shi rolled his eyes and said: "So the minister will let the military department allocate 2,000 spears, 500 sets of iron-inlaid armor, 100 sets of infantry armor, and 300 bows, and be the king of Changsha!" ”

Song Renzong thought about it and thought that this was not bad. The armor rate of the forbidden army in the Song Dynasty was more than 40 percent. Li Shi allocated 600 sets of armor to Zhao Yu, plus Zhao Yu's own forbidden army has about 200 sets of armor, although 800 sets of armor does not have a 40% armor rate, but in view of the prime ministers' situation in Zhao Yu, it is already good to be able to have such treatment.

Song Renzong was satisfied, but Zhao Yu gritted his teeth. He didn't know what Li Shi and the others were thinking? In view of the fact that there have been no major wars in the Great Song Dynasty for thirty years, some of the armories are old armor. These things are more difficult to wear than not to wear, the iron pieces are rusty, the rust sticks together, and after wearing him, his movements are stiff, and he is a living arrow target.

As for leather armor? I don't know how many insects are hidden in that thing, and the timid ones put it on, and they are afraid to see hundreds of insects of various types, and they are afraid that they will be scared and faint before the battle.

Needless to say, the weapon or something, when the thing was not touched, it was still pretending, but when he held the spear in his hand, it was all sawdust dregs. The spearhead and the shaft of the spear are broken, and if you take this thing to the battlefield, you will either give people their heads or be defeated.

Zhao Yu sneered and glanced at Li Shi, Zhang Shixun and others, gritted his teeth and said: "The party is fighting for the country!" The ancients did not deceive me! This king is only now deeply aware of it! Brother Huang, my brother has taken his leave! ”

His face was torn, and Zhao Yu turned around with his sleeves and left angrily.

Song Renzong's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say. Song Renzong, who has just become pro-government, is really weak in his ability to control the government and the opposition.

Zhang Shixun and the others all showed anger on their faces, and said goodbye to Song Renzong with dissatisfaction. What has Song Renzong become? Gas-soaked bag? So the things in the palace suffered, and a few more pieces of ceramics and the like were broken.

Li Di was a little kinder, and felt that Zhao Yu was talking negatively when he was leaving. A little weak-hearted said: "Shunzhi (Zhang Shixun), Zhongxun (Li Zhi), did we go too far just now?" ”

Governor Wang Sui hesitated, and also said: "Suppressing the clan, this is the right way, but at the cost of four million people on Jingdong East Road, isn't it too much?" ”

Zhang Shixun snorted coldly: "You are the benevolence of women, besides, how can the old man on Jingdong Road really ignore it?" Don't forget, Fan (sarcastic) is the prefect there, and although Cheng Lin is a villain who sees the wind and rudder, he is still capable! ”

Li Shi was the most radical and shouted: "The ancient saying: King Xuan is also retro, King Xuan can repair political affairs internally, and restore the realm of civil and military affairs (Note: 1). The ancient sages all knew that if they couldn't fix the interior, how could they rejuvenate the country? ”

(Note 1: King Xuan of Zhou restored the glory of his ancestors because he was able to repair political affairs internally and defeat the barbarians externally, so he restored the territory of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou.) ）

Wang Sui can be said to be a copy of Song Renzong, he loves Buddhism, so his surname is also soft, and after listening to Li Shi's words, he didn't dare to speak up.

Li Di wanted to say something, but seeing that Wang Sui didn't say anything, he looked at Wang Deyong, who was walking at the back. At this time, Wang De lowered his head, if it wasn't for the official robe, I was afraid that people would misunderstand that this was a eunuch. Li Di shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Wang Deyong was born as a martial artist and was excluded by the corporal and doctors of the government and the opposition, although Wang Deyong was named the prime minister, in fact, he was afraid of being framed for rebellion, but he was cautious about everything.

Despite this, Wang Deyong did not serve as prime minister for a few months, and was impeached by Kong Dao, the son and grandson of Kong Laoer, for "magnificent appearance, suspected of not being a minister". All right! Wang De used a frightened fart to roll and urine. It is also widely rumored among the folk that Wang Deyong's appearance is very similar to Song Taizu.

Wang Deyong was no longer a fart, but was scared to death, and hurriedly resigned and went to Xuzhou for refuge.

It can be said that since the Song Renzong dynasty, the situation of martial artists being suppressed has developed to the extreme. The power is still like this for the warriors who are deeply rooted in the clan, and the clan that has not been an official for decades, now only Zhao Yu is an outlier who has broken through, and he doesn't know how far he can go.
