In the early morning of the next day, in the morning bell, on the Daqing Palace, hundreds of officials gathered. The well-informed officials www.biquge.info the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion have already learned about the invasion of the Khitan army of 100,000 a few days ago, and they have been talking about it.

Just when the voices were boiling, with the sound of Xiao Huangmen: "The emperor has arrived!" The discussion quieted down. After Lu Chengqi sat down on the dragon chair, Qin Yikang, the secretary of the military department, came out of the crowd and said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty, the Khitan raised an army of 100,000 to invade my frontier, and the old minister is willing to ask His Majesty to issue an order to mobilize a large army to meet the attack." ”

Lu Chengqi glanced at this old man, who was as smooth as a loach although he had some talents, and said in his heart: "You have become an old fritter, and you are playing the strategy of retreating and advancing, when I really don't know?" The Supervision Department has already handed me a report, you old fritter, you are an elite soldier in the open, but you are secretly planting your own henchmen. Hmph, I won't cure you, when I'm really blind and deaf? ”

Lu Chengqi's calm face couldn't make waves, and in his faint tone, a coercion was revealed: "Since Qin Qing said that he wanted to send troops, I want to ask, I want Qin Qing to remove the border army, the forbidden army, and the box army, who are disabled, and who are over thirty-five years old but have not been promoted to primary school, how is Qin Qing's integration?" ”

Qin Yikang goes to order something on weekdays, but he just has to get by, where has he done things seriously? was asked by Lu Chengqi like this, and he was dumbfounded and pretended not to know.

Lu Chengqi sneered and said, "The corpse vegetarian eater, according to the Great Shun Law, how to deal with it?" ”

Someone in the palace immediately replied: "Immediately dismiss the official, never hired!" ”

Lu Chengqi shouted angrily: "Soldiers, the country is also a big weapon!" If you can't defend your home and country, what's the use of soldiers? What is the use of an army? The report of the Supervision Department and I, among the border army, the box army, and the forbidden army, there are old, weak, sick and disabled, I have been generous and do not care, why are you still so sloppy of my will? ”

Qin Yikang was so frightened that he lay on the ground, cold sweat broke out from his back, and he explained: "Your Majesty, it is really because of the large number of troops, the old minister has not time to investigate!" ”

Lu Chengqi laughed angrily and said, "In this way, you are reasonable. Anyway, I'll transfer the intelligence of the Supervision Department to you, and see if you can put the army in order within two days!" ”

Qin Yikang said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, is two days too little?" ”

Lu Chengqi sneered: "If two days are less, how about one day?" ”

Qin Yikang was eaten to death by Lu Chengqi, smiled bitterly, and said: "In two days, the old minister will definitely reorganize the army within two days, and when the time comes, please come and check it out." ”

Originally, he thought it was just a polite remark, but he didn't expect Lu Chengqi to take it seriously: "Well, I will go to the forbidden army camp on the third day, and if there is a veteran who has not retired, you can retreat!" ”

Qin Yikang didn't dare to be clever anymore, so he only agreed. Lu Chengqi said loudly: "It is not only the Khitans who are enemies of our dynasty. drove away a Khitan, maybe tomorrow comes the Jurchen, the day after tomorrow comes Murwei, the Five Kingdoms, the nomads, where to drive clean? If there is no strong army, who will protect the people of Dashun? Do you rely on your powerless literati? As the saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Wolves on the steppe, where will they reason with people! When the jackal comes, only by facing it with a spear and a big knife can he stop killing him. ”

When Lu Chengqi said this, he embarrassed many civil officials, but everyone didn't dare to refute it. Lu Chengqi said again: "I know that you are afraid that the martial artists will snatch your position, and I can tell you clearly that it is impossible for the civil and military to separate!" From today onwards, civil officials are required to practice martial arts, and military attachés are required to memorize documents. If you compare civil and military affairs to the two legs of a person, which one is missing, do you think it is good? ”

As soon as Lu Chengqi's words came out, it caused an uproar, and all civil and military officials were stunned. Lu Chengqi was a little proud in his heart, and continued: "Civilian officials who don't know martial arts will set the wrong strategic goals; If the generals do not know the text, they will go against the political will. I don't want to see such a scene, I want to see talents who are both civil and military, even if they are civil and military officials who are slightly familiar with military affairs, and military generals who understand Wen Tao a little, they can! ”

Xu Chongguang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, like an old minister, his muscles and bones are old, how to practice martial arts?" ”

Lu Chengqi smiled: "Xu Qing, you have drilled the horns. You don't see, in the past, Wuhou Yufan retreated from thousands of troops, why is it difficult for civilian officials to know the soldiers? It doesn't have to be everyone's martial arts, you just need to know how to fight. However, at Xu Qing's age, he really has to exercise from time to time to stay healthy. When I knew about the Three Kingdoms, Hua Tuo passed on a technique called "Five Fowl Opera", which can stretch muscles and bones and prolong life. I have already ordered the Supervision Department to pay attention to the people who know this technique, if this technique is learned, Xu Qing will definitely be able to assist me for another twenty years! ”

Xu Chongguang and other old ministers were moved to tears, and at this time, a second-grade military general opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, how should the last general learn literature?" ”

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "As long as you are literate, you can read." ”

In this way, the civil and military officials lost their temper and admitted that Lu Chengqi was right. Lu Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "The Great Shun Dynasty ruled the country with literature, which led to internal weakness, and I was really afraid that they would oppose it." Fortunately, I finally stepped through this level, and in order to arouse the national blood, I also worked hard enough. ”

When Lu Chengqi was about to announce his next dynasty, he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said loudly: "There is a dynasty where I am not a minister, I don't pay tribute, I don't cede land, I don't pay compensation, I don't make peace, and those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

Lu Chengqi's shout aroused the enthusiasm of hundreds of civil and military officials, and he said in the same voice: "If you don't call yourself a minister, don't pay tribute, don't cut land, don't pay compensation, don't make peace, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

Only Qin Yikang and the other old fritters looked at them coldly, with complicated expressions, not knowing what they were thinking.

After the early dynasty, the newspaper that recorded the deliberations of the early dynasty was quickly printed, and the slogan of "not being a minister, not paying tribute, not ceding land, not paying compensation, not making peace with relatives, and those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away" resounded throughout the land of China. Lu Chengqi seemed to see that a sleeping giant had slowly opened his eyes......

Three days later, Lu Chengqi, accompanied by Di Qing, Xu Jingchun and others, officially went to the forbidden army camp and began the military parade.

Watching the forbidden army change its formation, from a goose-shaped formation to a long snake formation, and then to a fish scale formation, a mandarin duck formation, etc., Lu Chengqi was silent. After the forbidden army drills were completed, Lu Chengqi said loudly: "Is this my forbidden army?" Why are they all like a group of soft-footed shrimp, with no strength at all? ”

The forbidden army under the stands was in a commotion, and as a soldier, even a soldier in the weakest army, he would be enraged when he heard this. Fortunately, the forbidden army knew that it was the emperor in the stands, and maybe they would have bombed the camp a long time ago. Di Qing was on the side, and he also sweated.

Lu Chengqi continued: "I have seen your exercises, which can be described in four words: I don't know what to say! As a forbidden army, do you have the appearance of a forbidden army? If I take you to the battlefield at this time to fight the Khitans, I am sure that you will be defeated! In the final analysis, you don't practice on weekdays, you are all cramming! ”

In the ranks of the forbidden army, there was silence for a while, and a general said: "Your Majesty, you are wrong! We have drills, but we don't even have enough to eat, and we don't have enough pay for the army, so that's why the brothers are like this! ”

Lu Chengqi's eyes lit up and said, "What's your name?" ”

The general replied, "The last general, Wang Shao! ”

After Lu Chengqi heard this, he was shocked, Wang Shao! This is a famous general of the Song Dynasty in history, resourceful and strategic. History does not record his military value in detail, because he was a handsome man, and it was easy to lead all armies. Just spoke for the forbidden army, and it can already be seen that he is very popular with the military, such a talent, if he is not caught, it is really Lu Chengqi's fault!

After Lu Chengqi calmed down, he said: "General Wang Shao, I can assure you that from today onwards, the food will be full, and the military salary will be sufficient!" ”

Wang Shao said calmly: "Is Your Majesty's words serious? ”

Lu Chengqi said: "You have no jokes! However, if the forbidden army is still like this, you Wang Shao is guilty of bullying the king! ”

Wang Shao said calmly: "The last general is willing to be punished!" ”

Lu Chengqi praised: "Good courage, then I will directly appoint you as the commander of the forbidden army and train these 100,000 forbidden troops for me." If I want to see your achievements within half a year, do I dare to make a military order? ”

Wang Shao said categorically: "Why don't you dare? In fact, he also understands that this is Lu Chengqi's radical method, but he is already riding a tiger, not to mention that this is what he is looking forward to, why should he refuse?

Lu Chengqi laughed: "If the forbidden army can be reborn, I will definitely reuse you!" ”

Di Qing also looked at Wang Shao's young face with an appreciative eye, as if he saw himself back then. couldn't help but sigh lightly, Lu Chengqi knew his heart: "Di Qing, don't be discouraged, the military academy still needs your control, and the future of the army of the Great Shun Dynasty is all under your hands!" ”

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, the other party knew what was going on, and they were all happy to find a handsome talent.
