When they returned to the palace, all the concubines were already waiting in the palace, and a few of them had already begun to show their bellies.

Yan is thin and fat, and many people ignore the cool breeze and wear a beam robe designed by Chao Yong, revealing a section of white swaying thighs, or bulging breasts.

Chao Yong saw that all the people he had pampered had come, and said with a smile: "Everyone doesn't need to eat, let's go to Yanfu Hall to eat together." ”

There are two halls in the palace, Chao Yong lives in the Yanfu Palace, Hu Sanniang lives in the Ruizhu Palace, of course, Chao Yong rarely spends the night in the Yanfu Palace, either the Ruizhu Palace or the pavilion of the concubines behind, so there is that brilliant record.

Hu Sanniang didn't see the child for a day, and she missed it a little, so she asked people to bring Chao Feng over.

Chao Feng was just over six months old at this time, but he was already very delicate.

When he saw Chao Yong, he called his father with a milky voice.

Chao Yong, who was happy, picked up Chao Fenglai, kissed him fiercely, and said with a smile: "My Feng'er is really smart, do you miss your father?" ”

Although Chao Feng spoke early, he was not smart enough to be that smart, but continued to shout: "Dad, Dad." ”

Chao Yong and Chao Feng played for a while before asking which concubines were pregnant.

Hu Sanniang is in charge of the imperial womb, so naturally she will not forget, and she will talk to Chao Yong one by one about the names and times of the pregnant concubines.

However, what embarrassed Chao Yong was that he didn't remember the names of some of the concubines, except for the concubines who looked particularly beautiful and beautiful, or had outstanding features, he didn't remember most of the names of the other concubines. He and them are also mostly a one-night fate, how can he remember so much, not to mention that he also went to Western Xia, after a few months, except for the impressive, the rest is not remembered.

In order not to hit those pregnant women, Chao Yong could only ask Chao Yong the names of those concubines in embarrassment.

Hu Sanniang saw that Chao Yong didn't remember the names of those concubines, and couldn't help laughing, and she was also happy in her heart. pretended to chat with the prince, and quietly pointed out the names of those concubines to Chao Yong one by one.

"The third one on the left is Concubine Cui."

"The second one on the right is the princess."

……

Chao Yong looked at Hu Sanniang and introduced him quietly. also nodded secretly. If she encounters that stupid one, she may point with her fingers and show off her only favor like everyone else.

Chao Yong put some thought into remembering the surnames of these concubines, and then handed Chao Feng to Hu Sanniang, and he went to greet those concubines one by one.

Xiaoqing sat next to Hu Sanniang, helping Hu Sanniang take care of Chao Feng, and when she saw the prince shushing the pregnant concubine, she couldn't help wrinkling her nose and said, "Damn, I've been with the prince for so long, why haven't I moved." One by one, they took the lead. ”

Hu Sanniang glanced at the jealous Xiaoqing and said with a smile: "The prince pities your young age and doesn't want you to get pregnant." It would be nice to wait until you grow up a little more. ”

Xiaoqing straightened her chest and said, "Where am I small, I am older than many people, and the prince is afraid that the child will have no milk to eat." ”

Hu Sanniang said helplessly: "The prince said that he is young and prone to accidents when he gives birth. ”

Xiaoqing heard Hu Sanniang say this, so she gave up the idea of having a child, but immediately said: "So many women are pregnant." There must have been quite a few boys among them. Although the prince said that the future prince must be the child born by the young lady, the young lady still has to give birth to a little prince earlier. The prince will definitely go to the Ruizhu Hall tonight, and the young lady will work harder, a few more times. Strive to conceive the little prince as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he waved his fist.

Hu Sanniang couldn't help but blush when she heard Xiaoqing say this, as if there was something flowing out of the bottom again. Thinking of the madness that had been in the carriage earlier. The body couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Xiaoqing didn't know what to do, and persuaded: "It's all old husbands and wives, what else is there to be ashamed of." And the prince is energetic. I'm not afraid of hurting his body. ”

Hu Sanniang was also embarrassed to tell Xiaoqing that they had already changed it once, and nodded: "I know, today's fruit wine is good, you eat more." ”

Xiaoqing picked up the wine glass, ate some, and said with a smile: "Well, sweet, Miss also eat more, if you don't get drunk, you won't be ashamed." ”

Hu Sanniang saw that Xiaoqing was endless, and when she had a headache, she saw that the prince had already turned around and walked back, and hurriedly said, "The prince is back." ”

Xiaoqing watched Hu Sanniang change the topic, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Chao Yong sat down, saw Xiaoqing waiting for Hu Sanniang on the side, and said with a smile: "With Xiaoqing here, I will never have to worry about Sanniang." ”

Many concubines in the palace in the past dynasties had a master-servant relationship with each other, and it was difficult for the emperor to notice ordinary palace maids, and some palace maids stayed in the palace for a lifetime, and they did not have a chance to be appreciated positively by the emperor. The palace maids who are most likely to be noticed by the emperor are the palace maids around the concubines, especially the favored concubines, because the emperor goes to their residence many times. Sometimes the emperor finds that the palace maid has a talent that is not inferior to the concubine, sometimes the concubine is unwell and asks the palace maid to serve on her behalf, and sometimes it is a small game between the emperor and the concubines, and then touches the right bed, but goes to the wrong person. There are even concubines who deliberately recommend the palace maids around them to the emperor in order to compete for favor, so as to help themselves.

However, many masters and servants will eventually turn against each other, especially after the palace maid is favored, she is basically unwilling to serve people in advance, let alone serve the previous master. In order to avoid embarrassment, some people even go to great lengths to hit the previous master, so that the previous master disappears from people's sight, so that there will be no embarrassment of meeting.

Xiaoqing said with a smile: "I can't replace the position of the prince, when the prince is not there, the princess doesn't want to eat." If the prince doesn't come back, the princess will be thinner than Huanghua. ”

Hu Sanniang glanced at Xiaoqing and said, "How can it be so exaggerated." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "It turns out that Sanniang misses me like this." ”

Xiaoqing said: "The prince finally came back, and he must accompany the princess more to relieve the princess's lovesickness." ”

Hu Sanniang listened to it and said busily: "The prince has his own ideas for doing things, and he wants you to talk more." If you talk nonsense again, I'll go back to your seat. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "It's okay, what Xiaoqing said is the same, I haven't been with Feng'er for a long time, so I just want to accompany her more." ”

Xiaoqing was also overjoyed when she saw Chao Yong agree, and diligently poured wine and food for Chao Yong, and served the prince.

After eating for another hour, Chao Yong was teasing Chao Feng for most of the time, and when he saw that Chao Feng was sleepy, he announced that the banquet was dispersed and everyone went back to their respective residences.

The concubines saw that the prince did not leave anyone, and they also knew that most of the prince still wanted to go to the princess, and some of the concubines who thought that their mothers were expensive or the concubines who thought they were beautiful could not help but feel a little lost.

Chao Yong and Hu Sanniang returned to the Ruizhu Palace. Chao Feng had already fallen asleep, and as soon as the two of them were careless, a new battle was ignited, and the blood-pumping moans were endless in the silent night for a long time.

Early the next morning, Chao Yong got up, rushed to the palace, and accompanied Chao Gai to the barracks to reward the three armies. Originally, it was supposed to reward all the soldiers and horses of the Western Expedition, but Lu Junyi and other troops were still in Western Xia, and this honor was exclusively enjoyed by Wu Song.

After rewarding the victorious army, Chao Gai and Chao Yong inspected the recruits on the way.

There are already 250,000 recruits in Tokyo. Of course, these recruits are not all from Tokyo, but from Jingdong Road, Hebei Road, Jingxi Road, Gyeonggi Road, Shaanxi and other places.

After Chao Yong established the military system, he decided to recruit soldiers from all over the country, but all the soldiers and horses were trained in Tokyo. The time of service begins with the entry into the camp in various places, which means that the time on the road also has a military salary. However, the time of the journey was not set by the local generals at will, but by the Tokyo Sect Leader, starting with forty li a day, and then gradually increasing to seventy li, without rest on the way. Only those who do not fall behind in Tokyo can be regarded as truly becoming a Liangliang soldier, and those who fall behind will be eliminated and return to the local state capital to become a deputy army, and be trained by the local government. The intensity of the drill is not as good as that of the regular army, but in the future, it will be necessary to assist the regular army, dig trenches, and go to the camp. Delivering money, food, and other chores.

Some of the leaders were skeptical of Chao Yong's system, but the generals who had been through the battle were supportive. Fighting is not just about fighting and fighting, and there are many times when it comes to the ability to march. An army that can travel long distances. In many cases, you can seize the opportunity, or attack the enemy unprepared.

The process of rushing to Tokyo from all over the world is actually part of the exercise, and the training is the ability to march. A daily march of sixty miles is only a qualified team, and a march of seventy miles is only a little more, which is not a forced march.

Chao Yong's ideal forcible march should be more than 100 miles a day, and it should be able to hold out for more than three days. Of course, this kind of marching intensity cannot be achieved by many soldiers and horses, let alone required to be done by recruits. Therefore, on the way to Tokyo for training, the recruits only marched 70 miles a day at most.

Moreover, the unified training of the regular army in Tokyo can not only improve the combat effectiveness of the regular army, but also ensure the control of the main army by the Daliang royal family. Chao Yong is preparing to introduce a compulsory military service system, in which each person will only have to serve for three years. It will take half a year to train in Tokyo, and it is likely that it will take half a year on the road, and the local generals will not have enough time to buy the morale of the army if they want to support their own troops.

Another is that Chao Yong is ready to replace all the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty with the new army trained by the Great Liang, after the Great Liang conquered the state capitals, the guards and horses of the state capitals are still the box army and the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty, but these soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty have long been decayed, lacking combat effectiveness, and contaminated with many bad problems. In troubled times, Daliang used harsh laws to make everyone behave properly, but it was impossible for Daliang to use such harsh laws for a long time, and the surrender of the Song Dynasty at that time would inevitably endanger the people. Therefore, Chao Yong wanted to fundamentally solve this problem, replace the surrendered troops with a disciplined new army, and at the same time change the rotten inheritance of the Song army.

After Chao Yong defeated the Western Xia, Ding Zhuang's enthusiasm for joining the army rose up, and after Chao Yong destroyed the Western Xia, it reached its peak. Hot-blooded men have signed up to join the army, wanting to go to the battlefield to make contributions.

If it weren't for the system set by Chao Yong to keep some people out of Tokyo who were physically weak and lacked perseverance, the barracks in Tokyo would have been overcrowded by this time.

However, 250,000 people have also reached the limit of the barracks, not because they have no place to live, but because Chao Yong has greatly improved the food standards in the barracks. The large purchase of meat and vegetables in the military camp has affected the price of goods in Tokyo, making the people in the city complain, and finally the imperial court ordered the local government to suspend the conscription.

Accompanied by Wang Jin, Chao Gai and his son inspected the recruits who entered the city at different times, and obviously felt that the combat effectiveness of the recruits was improving, especially the first batch of recruits in all aspects of training were already comparable to the regular army selected by Liangshan at the beginning, and it would be more than half a year of training.

Chao Gai and his son were very satisfied with Wang Jin's work, and Chao Gai rewarded the leaders on the spot in recognition of their fruitful exercises.

Chao Gai said: "The first batch of recruits will come in handy soon, Yong'er, where are you going to use them?" ”

Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "Let's replace the garrisons in Hebei first, the situation in the north is unpredictable, and I don't know when the Jin State will destroy the Liao State." Even if we don't have much ill will towards the Jin Kingdom, we can't let them occupy the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The sixteen states of Yanyun are the homeland of our Han people, and there are a lot of fertile land. After the founding of the Jin State, there were many victories and fewer defeats, and I am afraid that I would not be willing to give up the sixteen states of Yanyun. There will be no fighting. We need to stabilize Hebei as soon as possible. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said: "What you said is that although those Song Dynasty Xiang Army and Forbidden Army have no combat effectiveness, but let them all disarm and return to the field, I'm afraid there will still be something wrong with people." Many soldiers and men will not make a living except for military rations, and most of them have no land, I am afraid that the imperial court will give them some land. ”

Chao Yong said: "The land in the Central Plains is only given to my Liang casualties, if it is easily distributed to them, there is no reason for the people not to divide it, and then there will be fewer fields and more people." There is a lot of land in the Xingling area of Western Xia. There is also a lot of land in the Hetao area that can be cultivated, and I have carefully inquired about it in the Western Xia Dynasty, and the land in the Hetao area is very fertile. Now it is occupied by the party and the horses, and they have also cultivated some land, although they are not good at farming, but the harvest is also very good. If it is replaced by our Han people farming, the harvest should be no less than the land in the south of the Yangtze River. We can give them the land there, and if they settle there, the court can also reward them with some farming tools and coils. We're going there with a million people. It won't take a few generations, and the party members in those places will be sinicized by us. ”

Chao Gai said: "Isn't there a party tribe in the Hetao area? ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "They don't need such good land for grazing horses, we can change a piece of grassland for them." All the party departments have been scared by me, and they will not disagree. If they are not interested, there must be an excuse for them to disappear. ”

Chao Gai smiled: "It seems that you have already thought about it, then do what you say, anyway, there is a mess." It was also you who led the troops to quell the chaos. ”

Chao Yong was not modest, and said with a smile: "Even if there are people making trouble in Hedong, there will definitely not be many." Without the help of children, the Hedong garrison should be able to do it. As for the party departments in the Hetao area, unless they are willing to wander in the grasslands, they will not dare to oppose us, and at most they will secretly make some stumbling blocks. However, I have asked the planter to destroy several party tribes, and I believe that they will not dare to make trouble. The tribes on the steppe are much more ferocious than them, and when they go to the steppe, I am afraid that it will not be long before they become slaves of other tribes. The steppe tribes were not gentle, and all the men who overgrew the wheels were beheaded, and the remaining women and children became slaves. Compared with the grassland tribes, our Daliang is still very amiable. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said, "I have sent the governor of Ningxia Road, and when he finds out the situation of Ningxia Road, he can divide the land." ”

Wang Jin said: "Speaking of Hebei Road, there is a great person among the recruits in Hebei, and he will definitely be a general of our dynasty in the future." ”

Chao Gaiqi said: "What person? ”

Wang Jinyu said: "He is a native of Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, and his surname is Yue Mingfei. He is calm, likes to read history books and military books, and has a lot of splendor. He once worshipped Zhou Dong as a teacher and learned to ride and shoot, but in more than a month, he could get the true biography of Zhou Dong, and he could open a bow with his left and right hands. Later, I learned knives and guns from other people. He is also a person born with divine power, able to hold a three-hundred-pound strong bow and open his waist and eight stones. ”

Wu Song heard Yue Fei's data, and couldn't help but say: "Good man, this strength is no less than mine, it is said that he and I are considered to be in the same school, and they have both studied under Zhou Jiaotou." ”

Wang Jin smiled: "He should be your junior brother, and he is only eighteen years old this year." ”

Wu Song was stunned: "At the age of eighteen, you can hold a three-hundred-pound strong bow, that's really amazing." ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "His senior brothers Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, and Wu Song are all first-class heroes in the world. Naturally, his little junior brother will not be bad. ”

Chao Yong said: "I don't know when he saw Zhou Jiaotou, if he can invite Zhou Jiaotou to train some elites, my Liang should not lack generals." ”

Wu Song nodded and said: "The master is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, and even the ability to train people is also first-class." As long as there are some talented people, the master can find the martial arts that suits him and make him a general. ”

Wang Jin also said convincingly: "At most, I can only bring out people like Shi Jin with my apprentices, and I definitely can't teach generals like Lin Jiaotou, General Lu, and General Wu." Lin Jiaotou and General Lu learned his old man's guns, General Wu learned his fist and foot kung fu, and Yue Fei learned his archery skills, all of which are unique, and I am willing to bow to the wind. ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "Zhou Jiaotou is suitable for teaching generals, and Wang Jiaotou is suitable for training. Each has its own strengths and cannot be compared. ”

Wang Jin heard Chao Yong say this, but he did not deny his training skills.

Chao Yong said: "It's far away, does General Wang know when he studied under Zhou Jiaotou?" ”

Wang Jin said: "I saw that he had the courage of ten thousand people, so I talked to him a few times. He apprenticed to Zhou Jiaotou in his early years, Zhou Jiaotou passed by Xiangzhou, found his qualifications, and stayed to teach him to ride and shoot for a month. Otherwise, Zhou Jiaotou was a peerless student, how could he be drained by him in a month. He hadn't seen Zhou Jiaotou in these years, but he couldn't inquire about Zhou Jiaotou's whereabouts from him. ”

When everyone heard Wang Jin say this, they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Chao Yong said: "What position does Yue Fei hold now?" ”

"Because of his strong martial arts, active training, and ability to serve the public, he has been promoted to the rank of centurion, which is also the highest position that can be promoted in the boot camp. Can the emperor and the crown prince summon him? ”

Chao Gai looked at the sky, shook his head and said: "No need, since he has such a ability, he will definitely be a general in the DPRK and China in the future, and he will meet at his own time." Lest someone say in the future that he has touched the light of his brothers, hehe. (To be continued......)
