I turned my head and asked Lan Jue, "Lan Dujian, why are you pulling this king's sleeve?" ”

Lan Jue never thought that I would come to such a show, his expression was embarrassed, he laughed embarrassedly, and he couldn't speak for a long time, he just tilted his head and pretended to be innocent to look at me.

Zong Ze bowed his head, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart, with a posture of not looking at incivility and not listening to incivility. However, Li Ziming still has no city government, and he is not afraid of offending the prince's close attendants, so he laughed out loud.

I said, "Lan Dujian, the house is full of your own people, you have something to say, don't hide it." ”

Lan Jue's face was full of embarrassment, and I raised my chin to him, meaning to speak quickly. Lan Jue was helpless, so he had no choice but to say, "King, Zongzhizhou recruits volunteers, that is the duty of Zongzhizhou to be the head of a place." But the king is a prince, and according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, clan relatives are not allowed to ask about politics, and it is even more taboo to ask about the military. Therefore, the king recruits the righteous and brave, and the official family will know about it in the future, I am afraid that it will make the heavens angry......"

I said in my heart, if that Song Qinzong still has the ability to be angry with me, it would be good. But on the surface, I still pretended to be awe-inspiring, arched my hand in the direction of Bianliang in Tokyo, and said, "This king should be dedicated to the country, even if the imperial brother is guilty, he is not afraid." ”

Zong Ze was probably poked in the heart by me, and when he heard me say this, he immediately threw a glance of appreciation; Li Ziming was even more full of admiration, but the two eunuchs were worried and quite disappointed. I rolled my eyes, the two of them were chamberlains, and it wasn't a big deal what they thought.

So, while eating fish hot pot, I discussed with Zong Ze about recruiting volunteers. I am casual, but Zong Ze does things at a glance, he put down his chopsticks, arched his hand, and seriously stated that Cizhou has 500 officers and 4,000 militia. When I asked me what the militia meant, he explained that the militia is the people who are named in the governor's capital, and they are civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. Zong Ze also said that Hebei is the granary of the world, with sufficient grain and grass, and the grain storage in Guangcizhou is enough for 10,000 troops to eat for half a year, so the recruitment of volunteers and brave people can be as much as possible to prepare for the future King Qin.

When I heard Zong Ze say this, I was very disapproving. In modern times, my understanding of the military was nothing more than military training, and other military knowledge was mainly obtained through documentaries. But even so, I can still see that there is a big problem with the army of the Song Dynasty, and it is impossible for such a team to win the battle.

In modern times, the meaning of the People's Liberation Army is to protect the family and defend the country, so it mainly recruits young men of seventeen or eighteen years old into the army, and returns home after serving for three years. But in the Song Dynasty, the army seemed to be mainly responsible for accepting the homeless, so the soldiers recruited were very poor in combat effectiveness, and they did not feel that they had any sacred mission when they came to the army, just to eat for a living. What's even more terrifying is that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have no time limit and can die of old age, so there are a large number of soldiers and ruffians in their forties and fifties, or even sixty years old.

Since being a soldier can be old, for the sake of the stability of the military's heart, military families are naturally also by the side of the soldiers. Even, the soldiers of the Song Army lived at home, and reported to the army regularly every day like a modern work. The transfer of the army is also like relocation, the soldiers with their wives and children push the furniture of their lives, and move to the new station in a vast and scattered manner.

To tell the truth, if I hadn't crossed over, listened to the introduction of the Song people with my own ears, and saw nearly fifty Song soldiers carrying their grandsons to work, I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a strange system. Just imagine, there are a large number of soldiers in their forties and fifties in the army, and their wives and children are taken with them, how can this army have combat effectiveness? Even if the soldiers want to fight, they must first ensure the safety of their wives and children, right? When the dragged family and met the murderous Jin Army, it was natural to run faster than a rabbit.

Thinking of this, I made up my mind and said to Zong Ze, "Master Zong, according to this king's opinion, we can recruit volunteers this time, and we can't do as much as before. Since the conscription is for King Qin, it is necessary to recruit a team with combat effectiveness. ”

Zong Ze heard me say this, thought for a while, and then nodded incessantly, and seemed to agree with my idea, "The king's words are reasonable, Weichen is the head of a state, and he knows that the combat effectiveness of the Cizhou garrison is indeed limited. However, the king thinks that how to recruit a team with combat effectiveness? ”

This is kind of a question about my pride, although I have never been a soldier, but I have watched "Soldier Assault". If Zong Ze asks anything else, I'm afraid I don't understand, but what a good soldier should look like couldn't be clearer. So, I said excitedly, "First of all, we must have individual ability standards, when the volunteers recruit, only recruit people who can carry 20 gong... No, a soldier who runs 10 miles in one breath with forty pounds of luggage; Then, the army can no longer drag the family with the mouth, and the parents, wives and children have to be sent to the south of the Yangtze River at our expense, so that the military families are safe and the soldiers can be steady; By the way, the Volunteers only recruit soldiers between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, sergeants below the centurion are up to thirty years old, and a thousand-commander is at most thirty-five years old. ”

Zong Ze was silent for a moment, and arched his hand, "King, the first and third articles are very necessary, and this is the second one, with all due respect to Weichen, sending the military to the south of the Yangtze River is not something that the king or Weichen can do." ”

Hearing Zong Ze say this, I laughed a few times, thinking to myself, indeed, sending military families to the south is not a problem that can be solved by just paying money. In the case of large-scale relocation of military dependents, there must be places for them to live, fields for them to plant, and even the care of the local government. With all these things in place, soldiers from afar can truly feel at ease. But the above three are all problems that need to be solved by the imperial court, and they are not what I can do now. Exposed, exposed, crossed over, although I opened my mouth and closed my mouth to call myself a subordinate, and the three words in my mouth did not leave King Qin's rescue, but in fact, I already regarded myself as the emperor, so when I considered the problem, I couldn't help but substitute the emperor's perspective. If this is known to the loyal minister Zong Ze, won't he treat me as a rebel and thief?

I raised my eyes a little embarrassed, and sure enough, Zong Zezheng looked at me meaningfully, and I hurriedly said, "This is indeed not something that our courtiers can do, so when recruiting people, I won't mention the second article first." But this is necessary, and when the king sees the official family in the future, he will propose to him that all the military families be sent to the south. After speaking, he was worried that he would not be able to fool Zong Ze, so he changed the topic and said, "Fourth, if there is a particularly high-quality volunteer, he should be directly promoted to an officer." "I think that Yue Fei can draw a bow for 300 catties; Lan Qi Kanglu also said that at the beginning of this year, I myself hit the bull's-eye three times in a row with a 200-pound hard bow in Jinying, shocking the entire Jinying, so I added, "It's better to add an additional question, and the righteous and brave who can pull out the 200-pound hard bow can be directly promoted to the ten-captain." ”
