Chapter 6: Reforming the Military System

Zhao Ji stayed in the camp of the forbidden army in the south of the city for a month, training with the soldiers and eating together.

That feeling made Zhao Ji very happy, as if he had returned to the army of the later generations.

When Li Xiang'an moved the armory of the Virgin Mary, Zhao Ji personally awarded those precious weapons and armor to the well-trained generals.

At the same time, the 5,000 golden fire cavalry were also given golden armor and sharp weapons.

Although there are no war horses for the time being, it is still very inspiring.

During this period, Zhao Ji would inspect the entire forbidden army camp every night.

Sometimes, Zhao Ji would also chat with the soldiers about family life and solve the practical difficulties of the soldiers in a timely manner.

Coupled with his martial arts, Zhao Ji was quickly recognized by the soldiers.

Zhao also adopted many strategies to gather people's hearts.

The common thing is to whip a jujube. Zhao Ji has never been tolerant of non-commissioned officers who are slack in training or have violated military law. But after the punishment, Zhao Ji will personally bandage their wounds, and at the same time have to take a political lesson.

Of the 200,000 forbidden troops, Zhao Ji adopted a new 66 military system to reorganize, and ordered the army to be forbidden to go out to do business, and all the soldiers who insisted on going out to do business were abolished. Some of the old and infirm were also laid off into baggage camps and food camps.

Five people are in the team, and there is a military chief; Thirty people are a group, and there is a team leader, and the teacher is taught; 200 people for the team, set up a team, the general teacher; 1,500 people are battalions, with captains and guides; 10,000 people as a regiment, with generals and great guidance; 30,000 people are the army, with commanders and military divisions. 100,000 men for the legion, pacification envoys, governors.

200,000 forbidden troops, after some rectification, only 150,000 remained, five armies. Kumamoto commanded five armies as a lieutenant, and in order to appease the envoys, Han Wei was an old official of Zhao Xu's former palace, and Zhao Wei brought him in as the governor.

Teaching, guidance, and military advisors, Zhao Ji did not transfer a group of people from the civilian officials. Because when he is a soldier, he must be branded with a tattoo. If Han Wei hadn't been bitterly talking for an hour, he wouldn't have been willing to be the governor.

No one came, and the education level of the soldiers was too low to do those clerical jobs.

So, Zhao Xuan asked Li Xiang'an to go to Bianjing's hook bar to pull a group of storytellers, after Zhao Xu's ten days of training, after some assessment, arranged to take up positions, and those positions were finally arranged in place.

In order to completely put an end to the behavior of eating empty salaries, almost all the generals of the 150,000 forbidden army were finally dismissed by Zhao Ji, and a new batch of generals were promoted through the results of martial arts competitions and assessment training.

They train during the day, and at night the soldiers take political lessons for an hour under the leadership of the instructor.

The first is to sum up the training during the day and strive to win the ranking in the big competition of various military camps.

The second is to teach some commonly used words and eradicate illiteracy for the soldiers.

Third, it is necessary to study the "Detailed Rules of Military Law," clarify responsibilities, and strengthen ideological control.

After a month of vigorous and resolute action, Zhao Ji firmly held the 150,000 forbidden army in his hands.

At the beginning, many ministers of the court wrote to Zhao Ji to return to the palace to preside over the government.

But Zhao Ji ignored it completely, and all the government and government were pressed on Zai Zhi, causing Zeng Gongliang to fall ill in only half a month.

The ministers rushed to the camp of the forbidden army and knelt down to beg Zhao Ji to return to the palace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Ji ordered the abolition of the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Three Divisions, and the Imperial Historical Observatory, and divided their functions into six departments, and added a superintendent to replace the Imperial Historical Observatory. The cabinet was also set up, and Wen Yanbo was appointed as the prime minister of the cabinet, Fu Bi and Zhao Bian were appointed as the ruling ministers, and Lu Xu, Wu Chong, Feng Jing, Chen Shengzhi, Han Jiang, Tang Jie, and Zhang Fangping were appointed as counselors. Zeng Gongliang added the title of Taishi, to Shi.

All matters of the government are handled by the cabinet decision-making, as long as the emperor and the prime minister agree, they can be implemented. If the emperor is not in court, as long as the prime minister and the ruling party agree, he can carry it out. If the prime minister and the government cannot coordinate with each other, it is up to all the members of the cabinet to deliberate, and as long as the six people agree, it can be executed.

Many ministers were still opposed at first, but Zhao did not give them a chance to complain and drove them out of the forbidden army camp. Maybe the matter of setting up a cabinet was too busy, and after a while, no one came to harass Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji believes that as long as the 150,000 forbidden troops are in hand, he is not afraid that they will turn the court upside down.

Through Li Xiang'an's recital, Zhao Ji can still know what happened in the court. After the establishment of the cabinet, the operational efficiency of the court has improved a lot, and Wen Yanbo has also joined forces with Fu Bi to slowly implement many policies of the Qingli New Deal, which Zhao Ji did not expect. Wen Yanbo also handed over notes from time to time to state the state of the government.

To the disbelief of the ministers, Zhao Ji's absence from the court was a whole year. In the next three years, Zhao Ji was not in the court most of the time.

Another month passed, and Zhao Ji went back to the palace, greeted the two palace maidens, and told him that he was going to the Li family horse farm to train cavalry.

In the evening, Zhao Ji hugged the queen and stated some big truths to appease. Early the next morning, he took Li Xiangan and a few small yellow gates to the forbidden army camp.

"Captain Xiong, Governor Han, these 150,000 forbidden troops will be handed over to you." Zhao Ji instructed.

"Rest assured, Weichen will live up to the trust of the saint." The two said in unison.

Zhao Ji raised his right arm and saluted them, as well as the soldiers who came to see them off.

The soldiers neatly raised their right arms in return. The hand-raising salute is a military salute newly prescribed by Zhao Ji, which replaces the previous kneeling salute.

Luo Hao, the general of the first regiment of the Golden Fire Cavalry, had already gathered five thousand Golden Fire Cavalry and was ready to set off at any time.

The school yard in the south of the city was too small to train a cavalry, and what the cavalry needed was to gallop constantly.

Under the leadership of the merchant Li Zhanma, the army marched to Taihang Mountain, two hundred miles northeast of Bianjing.

Li Zhanma, at the age of forty-six, was a big fat maritime merchant in gorgeous clothes.

He was one of the businessmen contacted by Wang Anshi, and he came here this time to welcome Zhao Ji to the Li Family Racecourse.

The Golden Fire Cavalry is now just an infantry. The army was divided into two columns, and in the middle of each team there were four wagons, on which were weapons, tents, harnesses, pots, food, and other things.

Each soldier was dressed in golden armor, armed with a spear, with a green dragon double-edged sword hanging from his waist, and carrying a longbow and a pot of arrows on his back. The golden armor reflects the brilliance of the sun, and the cloud-stepping boots leave behind the dust behind them with neat steps, and the continuous army becomes a beautiful landscape.

The standard equipment of the Golden Fire Cavalry is one person and three horses, one war horse, which is used in battle, one walking horse, which is used when marching, and one pack horse, which is used to carry grain, grass and equipment.

One person has a set of golden armor, a set of green dragon double-edged knives, a spear, and three bows.

Three bows, usually carried on the back is the Star Picking Bow, with an effective range of 80 steps. The Moon Bow has an effective range of 150 paces. The Sunset Bow, which is actually a crossbow, has an effective range of two hundred and fifty paces.

The good equipment of the Virgin Mother's arsenal and the Great Song Dynasty arsenal were all looted by Zhao Ji to equip this golden fire cavalry.

Now, the rest is the war horse, the Great Song Dynasty lacks war horses, I hope Wang Anshi can solve this problem.

When you get to the Li Family Racecourse, you can see the difference!

The people who came and went on the official road stopped to take a look. Is this the army of our Great Song Dynasty? It's so mighty! You see, they all have a brand on their foreheads, and it's a fire word. It's the newly formed Golden Fire Cavalry of the official family, huh? How is it infantry?

Zhao Ji and Luo Hao were at the front of the line, also on foot, not on horseback.

Li Zhanma rode in a carriage and led the way in front. Li Xiangan began to persuade Zhao Ji to take the carriage, but Zhao Ji disagreed.

Li Xiangan had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the Son of Heaven and run behind, but he didn't run two miles before he stopped cooking. Tired and fainted, foaming at the mouth. In the end, he was sent to Li Zhanma's carriage by Zhao Ji and Luo Hao.

Luo Hao, a native of Jingzhao Mansion, is a hunter at home, fine cavalry and archery, and marksmanship. competed in the ring, dominated the competition, and was designated as the first of the top ten generals by Zhao Ji.

After two months of getting along, Zhao Ji found that Luo Hao had the demeanor of Xu Huang during the Three Kingdoms, and he was very happy and was promoted to the general of the Golden Fire Cavalry Regiment.

"Pass the order, speed up, and before dusk, you must arrive at the Li family racecourse." Zhao Ji said to Luo Hao.

Luo Hao shouted, and the back was passed one after another.

In a short time, the speed of the march was much faster.

Because Zhao Ji ran faster and faster, the whole team was almost running wildly in the end. It's like a marathon, but the queue is still not chaotic.

At dusk, the Golden Fire Cavalry finally crossed the long mountain road and came to the Li Family Horse Farm.

Luo Hao commanded the Golden Fire Cavalry to set up camp, and Zhao Ji was invited into the Li family's compound by Li Zhanma.

Lijia Racecourse is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, but in the middle is a flat grassland with a radius of ten miles, on which thousands of horses gallop, and the soldiers are all happy.

The Li family's compound is standing on the mountainside in the north. In addition to the Li family compound, there are many houses in the surrounding area, and the houses are built from the foot of the mountain on all sides to the halfway up the mountain. The tall houses are the houses, and the low ones are all stables.

"What a mountain grassland, Li Qing's family really has a unique vision, and they have found such a treasure land." Zhao Ji sat on the right-hand side of the living room. Li Zhanma didn't dare to sit down, but stood beside Zhao Ji and beckoned someone to serve tea to Zhao Ji.

"Holy Lord, this was originally a dense forest, but it is a hollow in the mountains. The father of the family, scattered all the wealth, cut down trees and built houses, and stood on the mountainside. He cut down all the trees in a ten-mile radius, and then recruited a large number of homeless people to level the depressions in the mountains for five years. It took several years to grow grass here, and it took 30 years to get to where it is now. The thirty years of operation have almost exhausted the family property, but fortunately, my father got the method of making white glaze in Dashi, so he set up a white glaze manufacturing workshop here. or sold it, or beat the county, and finally earned back the family property and kept the peace within a radius of ten miles. After a little asset, my father began to find ways to buy stallions, and it has been another thirty years in the hands of Weichen. ”

Li Zhanma's voice was a little hoarse, but it was the sadness of two generations.

After hearing this, Zhao Ji was shocked. What perseverance and courage it is to lay such a big family business!

"I don't know why Li Qing's father spent so much money to make such a grassland here? You must know that there was originally some grassland in the imperial court, but it was gradually encroached upon by the bureaucratic landlords and turned into farmland. This caused the embarrassment of the Great Song Dynasty. Why did the Li family do the opposite? Zhao Ji asked.

"The ancestors are still the imperial horse officials of the Tang Dynasty, and they swore to raise horses for the emperor for generations. Later, the Tang Dynasty fell, and the Li family became weaker and weaker, and it was only in his father's generation that there was improvement. My father did not forget his ancestral teachings, so he had today's Li Family Racecourse. Li Zhanma recalled.

"Oh. Why not offer it sooner? Just a horse officer, how can I be stingy? Zhao Ji seemed very dissatisfied.

"I can't help but be an official! This Li family horse farm is the brainchild of my father, and the grass people do not want to be ruined by those bureaucrats. Li Zhanma sensed Zhao Ji's dissatisfaction and responded.

"Hehe, then today, why are you willing to dedicate it to me as a place for military training?" Zhao Ji smiled awkwardly.

"Wang Xianggong and Sima Xianggong have both promised the grass people to make good use of this horse farm." Li Zhanma said bluntly.

"Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, where are they now?"

Zhao Ji remembered that since Li Zhanma was sent by Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi should also be here.

"Ahh It was the negligence of the grass people. Wang Xianggong, Sima Xianggong, and the capital of various trading houses are waiting for the saint in the underground river city. Li Zhanma patted his head and said in shock.

"Underground River City?" Zhao Ji felt inexplicable.
