Chapter 195: Cavalry Election

ended the trip to Xinyang and successfully found Ruan Xingzhu. Zhao Xiaoxi and the others, even if they wanted to continue to walk around the Central Plains, they had to send Ruan Xingzhu back to Dali first.

Secondly, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that after sending Ruan Xingzhu back, he might be able to settle the matter between Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu. Compared with his troubled marriage, Qiao Feng is alone now, and he doesn't have so many taboos.

While these women were chatting while they were sitting in the carriage, Zhao Xiaoxi also discussed this matter with Qiao Feng. Regarding this matter, although Qiao Feng really wanted his biological father to be present, he knew that the father was afraid that he would not be able to find it for a while.

understood that he and Ah Zhu were inseparable from each other in this life, and Qiao Feng finally chose to agree with Zhao Xiaoxi's suggestion. After returning to Dali this time, he proposed to the Duan family in Dali. As for the things needed to propose, Qiao Feng, who has no long things, can only be pushed to Zhao Xiaoxi to be responsible.

Anyway, Qiao Feng, who is now lonely, can't find anyone like a witness, so he directly asked Zhao Xiaoxi to serve as a witness. Anyway, both of them are Jinlan brothers, Qiao Feng feels that he owes Zhao Xiaoxi a favor, and he doesn't care about this one.

Taking advantage of the break, Qiao Feng called Ah Zhu out alone and told Zhao Xiaoxi. Azhu was first shocked by this matter, and then said shyly: "It's good that the eldest brother is in charge!" ”

For Azhu, she is naturally very happy that her mother has been successfully found this time, and the family is finally reunited. But when you are reunited with your family, you can complete a lifelong event with your sweetheart, which can also be described as a joy.

With Ah Zhu's consent, Qiao Feng naturally seemed very happy. During this time, he was in pain for the sake of his parents. finally found comfort here in Azhu, and naturally cherished this hard-won surprise.

With the approval of Azhu, the bride, Qiao Feng informed Zhao Xiaoxi of the matter again. As for what happens next, what to do. That's Cho Hyo-seok's thing. Anyway, for him, just wait to enter the cave room.

Could it be that when the second officiant is married, Zhao Xiaoxi is naturally equally happy, and follows Mu Wanqing to inquire about some customs of marriage in Dali. Mu Wanqing was so shy that he thought that Zhao Xiaoxi would go back to Dali this time and marry her!

As a result, I heard that it was for Qiao Feng to marry Azhu. Mu Wanqing not only lost something, but also told Zhao Xiaoxi about some of the customs he knew. To put it bluntly, Azhu, an illegitimate princess, is definitely unlikely to do a big job.

It's just that she is the princess of Dali, so she naturally can't be too stingy in the dowry. Soon Zhao Xiaoxi called the members of the military department and began to make some preparations and let them complete them in advance.

After returning to Dali, these dowries were prepared, and then he officially proposed to Emperor Baozheng. Even if you can't do it publicly, you can't do it publicly. But it must also be lively.

With this incident to pass the time, Zhao Xiaoxi and others were naturally excited about their return trip. And Ruan Xingzhu, who learned about this, had already recognized this eldest son-in-law, although his mouth was a little wooden, but he was really good to his daughter.

For her, in this life, she can get the name she wants, and she can meet her two biological daughters. can also hand over his daughter to her husband's family. As a mother, she also feels satisfied.

As a result, when the group began to enter Chengdu Road. He lived in Zhao Xiaoxi's county palace for a while. By the way, Zhao Xiaoxi also went to the cavalry camp and took a look at the cavalry soldiers who were still training.

At the same time, the rules for the selection and allocation of cavalry this year were issued, and the elite cavalry military attachés in the cavalry army were dispatched to select elite cavalry from the border army with a cavalry structure. For the selected cavalry, each cavalry selected will be given ten war horses to their troops.

I believe in this way of selection. The generals who led the troops would not be stingy either. Because sending away one elite in exchange for ten cavalry, this business will not be too bad. What's more, the honor of entering the cavalry can also make them rise in face a little bit.

Take advantage of this method of cavalry selection. Zhao Xiaoxi also referred to the selection of special forces similar to the field army in later generations. The more elite cavalry that can be selected, the combat effectiveness of this unit will also be rated as the best.

In order to avoid the situation of selfish fraud, Zhao Xiaoxi ordered that only the names of 10,000 cavalry soldiers be selected today. It is also divided into spring and autumn seasons, and only 5,000 cavalry troops are selected to enter the camp in each season.

In this way, these troops with cavalry will think of ways to train their cavalry. When the war horses are replenished for them, these leading generals still want more war horses, so they must train more elite soldiers.

The cavalry selected by the cavalry selection team also needs to go through a certain assessment after arriving at the cavalry camp. The items assessed each time are designated by Cho Hyo-seok, the commander of the cavalry.

In addition to being repatriated to their original units, unqualified cavalrymen will also be held accountable for the selection and allocation of cavalry attachés. In this way, it will also be eliminated as much as possible, and things related to human relations will be eliminated. Guarantee that the cavalry is the characteristic of the elite of the Great Song Dynasty!

In the face of this unprecedented way of selecting troops, Zhao Xu, as the emperor, saw the twists and turns. I also know that if the cavalry is tossed like this, if those generals can't choose the cavalry who meet the standards, it will be a shame.

Every year, it consumes the military expenditure of the imperial court, but it cannot train dozens of cavalrymen who are qualified to be selected for the cavalry. Are they still embarrassed to ask for military salaries for the imperial court every year? This kind of invisible competition is bound to bring the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty to a higher level.

As for selecting 10,000 cavalry every year, 100,000 war horses will be sent, which will also promote the rapid increase in the number of war horses owned by the Great Song Dynasty. However, if you want to get these war horses, you must also discuss them with Tubo again.

Intensify the opening of the border horse market, loosen some of the things needed by the Fanbang nation, and increase the purchase of war horses. is the advice given by Zhao Xiaoxi, seize the opportunity to lurk for a few years. If you go out again, you will definitely be able to decide Yanyun in one battle.

In order to cooperate with the selection of the cavalry, Zhao Xu, who is the real commander of the cavalry, also personally ordered the military department to issue a document. Let all units that are qualified to send cavalry for selection do a good job of receiving and selecting and allocating them.

This time, the army with the most elite cavalry was selected, and the imperial court could make an exception to upgrade the commander of the army by one level as a reward for his training.

In this way, those commanders who can't get the battle don't work hard to train their soldiers in order to be promoted.

As the selection of the elite cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu learned that the forbidden army had relaxed its armament over the years. It was also decreed that the cavalry in the forbidden army should also participate in these selections.

If you are the elite forbidden army in the Great Song army, you can't even fight the cavalry of the box army and the border army. Then the name of the forbidden army, I am afraid that it is worthy of Zhao Xu, the actual controller of the forbidden army, to carefully consider the daily military expenditure of the imperial court.

With the decree of the imperial court issued, the generals of the Great Song Dynasty also knew that the entire Great Song Dynasty would really be favored by the emperor in the future. I'm afraid that it is no longer the forbidden army of the capitals, but this cavalry army led by Zhao Xiaoxi.

It's just that in the face of such favorable conditions, some generals who have not fought in a war also feel that this is an opportunity to enter the sight of the Son of Heaven. Before the arrival of the cavalry selection team, some of the elite of the generals were assembled separately for training.

There is only one purpose, which is to transport more elite cavalry seedlings needed by the cavalry. As for military attachés who are less than 30 years old under the seventh grade, they also have the opportunity to participate in this selection.

There are really not many military attaches who may meet these two items, in the entire Great Song army. Most of those who can meet this condition are the sons and daughters of some nobles. However, if these people can pass the examination, it is not surprising that they will join the cavalry.

Originally, I thought that after the New Year, the generals of the Great Song Dynasty could have a good time, for the will of the imperial court. A new round of large-scale military training was set off, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty also felt that the imperial court was about to fight another big battle.

When the cavalry selection team began to be sent by Zhang Tingguang one after another, to select combatable soldiers for the cavalry. Wang Zishu, who returned to Beijing last time, officially entered the palace to face the saint, like the emperor who has been in a good mood in recent days, and proposed to hold this year's cavalry selection.

In addition to the selection of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, the same was held last year. For this year's selection, the Wuxun disciples who have already prepared how much they have also begun to wait for the arrival of the day of the selection.

It's just that Wang Zishu had the example of Zhao Xiaoxi last year, and he also checked into the forbidden army camp early, and refused all so-called favorites. Compared with last year's assessment, Zhao Xiaoxi gave an extra exception, but this year there will be no such opportunity.

The reason is simple, the cavalry has just been formed, which can give the soldiers more time to train. However, this time the cavalry army was selected to deal with emergencies at any time, and it was necessary to enter Fanbang to fight. And what about having time to train soldiers too much?

If such a soldier is selected into the cavalry, there is almost no second option except to delay and retreat and send him to death. For this reason, this year's cavalry selection is much harsher than last time, and the elimination rate has also increased greatly.

Especially this year, Wang Zishu has slightly lowered the standard of the riding skills of the assessment personnel according to the daily training of the cavalry. As a result, the children of Wuxun who participated in the assessment did not even reach the ratio of one out of ten.

Just when many officials shouted that this was not a normal selection at all, the cavalry brought back by Wang Zishu. After giving them a round of drills, these officials were completely speechless.

In the face of the complaints of these officials, Wang Zishu, despite his youth, was in front of Zhao Xu, the emperor. There is also the face of the civil and military officials: "Back to the saint, the reason why the selection is so strict is also because the military attaches selected this year are all to lead the troops to fight.

In fact, the criteria for this selection have been lowered a lot. The prince of the county once said that soldiers sweat more in peacetime, so that they can shed less blood in wartime. We must not forget the expectations of the Holy Lord for the cavalry, and do not forget the shame of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and make preparations for fighting at any time.

If you can't even pass this simple selection, once the Holy Lord has an order, you need to send troops to fight. Do you think that your children will be able to survive when they arrive on the battlefield?

In the previous battle of Lanzhou, the prince of the county saw the blood of his brothers sent back this time, and he also secretly shed tears. He also said to the last general and others that they had been entrusted by the saints and the lords, so that these brothers could be sent off on the battlefield.

This matter can not be repeated, so the prince of the county will confess to the last general. This time, it is better for the adults to blame him for being unkind than to send these living lives to the battlefield to die. Please also ask the Holy Majesty to learn from you! ”

Faced with such rhetoric, Zhao Xu naturally nodded in agreement. And these unsuccessful children and elders are not good at holding on to this matter anymore. After all, they really can't do the thing of sending their children to the cavalry to die! (To be continued......)
