After deciding on the matter of redundant troops and tuntian, Gao Huaiyuan no longer cared about this matter, and simply left this matter to his subordinates to do, and then busied himself with new things. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, after Gao Huaiyuan gained great power, he could finally show his strength, first to rectify military discipline, set up a military command department, and then went north to Tuntian Jingdong with redundant troops, and he was very busy.

Without waiting for the matter of Tuntian to be completely rolled out, Gao Huaiyuan had a new suggestion, this time he took a look at Zhen Dexiu's leisure time, went to the door to find Zhen Dexiu, and made a suggestion to Zhen Dexiu:

What an adult! I have a reluctant request below, and I want to discuss it with adults! I wonder if adults will have time? Gao Huaiyuan said to Zhen Dexiu when he entered the door.

Zhen Dexiu is looking at some official documents submitted by his subordinates, since he entered Beijing, Zhen Dexiu has been bent on political affairs, although Gao Huaiyuan launched a mutiny to overturn Shi Miyuan's party, but because the situation is not easy to expand, Shi Miyuan's party can be said to have not been completely uprooted, many local officials are Shi Miyuan sold his official position and promoted, local government affairs can be said to have been tossed by him for more than ten years, many places have long been rotten, Gao Huaiyuan is refreshing, after overthrowing Shi Miyuan, threw the big mess to these civil officials, and went to beat Li Quan by himself, so Zhen Dexiu had to deal with a lot of official business every day, and he was busy with almost no time to rest.

What's more, this time it was decided to transfer troops to the north of Tuntian, and there were a lot of affairs involved, and the six departments could be said to be very busy with this matter, Zhen Dexiu couldn't think of what suggestions Gao Huaiyuan would put forward when he came to visit today, so he immediately put down the official document, got up and said a few words to Gao Huaiyuan, and asked Gao Huaiyuan to sit down.

I don't know what tricks Master Gao has come up with, but I'm willing to listen! Zhen Dexiu now knows that Gao Huaiyuan is not an idle person, he must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and this time he must have something important to discuss with him.

After Gao Huaiyuan snorted, he said: "My lord, during the Northern Expedition led by Gao this time, although he was lucky to live up to the holy order, there were still a lot of problems during the Northern Expedition! This time, it is precisely because of these things that I have come to trouble the real adult, and I want to find some way to solve it properly!

Zhen Dexiu nodded and said: If Master Gao has something to say, you might as well say it bluntly, if it involves something that Zhen is in charge of, Zhen will never refuse!

Gao Huaiyuan admired Zhen Dexiu's character very much, everything was already official, so he didn't go around the bend and said directly: Here's the thing, we are waiting for the generals to go into battle, in addition to relying on the training and strategy of the soldiers on weekdays, morale and other factors, equipment is also a very important thing, the soldiers and horses led by the lower officials this time are also the elite of our dynasty, and it stands to reason that the equipment and armor are the best among the armies of our dynasty!

Zhen Dexiu nodded and was a little confused by Gao Huaiyuan's words, so he had to say: It's really good, when Lord Gao led the army to go out that day, Zhen Mou was also present, and the soldiers and horses under Lord Gao are indeed strong soldiers!

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan changed his words and said: But it is precisely this that makes the lower officials feel worried! Somebody, bring me the things I brought back from the north and ask me to look at them!

The soldiers walked into the room with some things in their hands and presented them on the large desk in the room.

Zhen Dexiu got up to watch, and saw that all these things were some weapons and armor, including the armor equipped by the Song army, and some weapons not cast by the government, and some of them could be seen at a glance that they were the armor equipped by the Northern Mongolian army, and many of them were defective.

Zhen Dexiu didn't quite understand, so he pointed to the objects on the table and asked Gao Huaiyuan: "Master Gao! This is?

Gao Huaiyuan walked to the table and casually picked up a hand knife that was commonly used in the Song army, this knife had been seriously damaged, although the blade was not broken, but it had been cut like a jagged tooth, and it was no longer usable.

On the surface, our army is quite well-equipped, but this knife is only after a battle, and it has become this appearance after a short fight with the enemy!

Look at this knife again, this knife is a single knife under my command, this utility has a reputation for courage in the army, and it is often the first in battle, but because this knife is not as good as the enemy's knife, it was broken by the enemy's single knife, and the result is a brave man, but because of this knife, he lost his life in vain! What a pity!

Also, these are all arrow clusters collected by my order, these are the arrow clusters used by our army, and these are the arrow clusters used by the Mongolian Tartars, our army's arrow clusters seem to be more standard from the perspective of shape, but adults, please see, our army's arrow clusters look sharp, but in fact, they are very brittle, the front end of the arrow cluster is not hard enough, and it is okay to penetrate the leather armor, once it encounters the enemy's iron armor, it is often impossible to penetrate, and the sharpness is lost!

This is the cluster of arrows used by the Mongol Tartars, and this time I fought with them, and found that each of them had a special craftsman to build weapons with the army, and the army would bring craftsmen to make a battalion, and provide arrows and other things for the army, and the arrows they cast were very sharp, and the quality far exceeded that of our army's arrow clusters.

Besides, these armors, our army's armor looks mighty, but its armor forging process is very poor, these armor anti-arrow ability is insufficient, should have no problem resisting sword slashing, but really adults, please see, these armor are all broken with a knife, and this armor is a captured piece of Mongolian soldiers' iron armor, I asked the craftsman, this is cast by cold forging, the armor is covered with knife marks, but none of them are broken, according to my generals, the enemy wearing this armor is very fierce, and the strength is against several of our army, There were several knives in the body, but none of them hurt the vital point, but our soldiers were killed by them one after another, which shows that the quality of the enemy's armor far exceeds that of our army!

As for these bows and crossbows, I won't say it, but the real adults can also see that they can't reach the strength of the required nine-bucket bow at all, only about six buckets, and the materials are inferior, and the gluing is not tight, and more than ten arrows will be damaged! The 12/12 of the finest and most useful weapons have caused our army to suffer undeserved losses from time to time, and the soldiers have also paid undeserved casualties.

Therefore, this time I came to find the real lord, the soldiers went into battle to kill the enemy, the only thing that can be relied on is these armor, but our army is equipped with these armor, just a false appearance, the quality is really worrying, the soldiers should fight to the death for the country, but if because of these armor, let them die in vain, then for the morale of the soldiers, it is undoubtedly a very heavy blow, and those of us who are officials are also sorry for them!

Zhen Dexiu finally understood the purpose of Gao Huaiyuan's coming to him today, it turned out that he had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt! However, Zhen Dexiu also paid attention to this problem for the first time, the reason why Gao Huaiyuan came to him was because all these armor were produced in the ordnance supervision and various workshops under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhen Dexiu did not expect that the current production of armor has been shoddy to such a point, thinking about the soldiers killing the enemy in front, but holding these rags in their hands, Zhen Dexiu couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Damn it! It turns out that there is still this matter, if Lord Gao does not come to the official today, then the official really does not know about this matter, Lord Gao rest assured, since I have learned about this matter, I will never sit idly by, I will order the Ministry of Industry, strictly investigate the weapons supervision in various places, if it is found that there are officials who are derelict in their duties, they will never be tolerated and accommodated! Zhen Dexiu dropped a broken spear head in his hand and said angrily.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately bowed deeply to Zhen Dexiu and thanked: Thank you, Lord Zhen! All the soldiers of Gao's generation have thanked the real adult! But

Zhen Dexiu is very angry about this matter, now many local officials are superficial, get by, and now even the weapons production, which is regarded as a major plan of the country, has deteriorated to such an extent, not to mention that Gao Huaiyuan is worried, even he feels worried, but he immediately heard that Gao Huaiyuan seems to have something to say, so after suppressing his anger, he said to Gao Huaiyuan: If there is anything else about Lord Gao, you might as well say it to this official!

This may be a bit difficult to say! During this Northern Expedition, the lower officials thought about it for a long time, and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to put the current Imperial Commander under the Ministry of Works, so he came up with a reluctant request, and wanted to discuss with Lord Zhen, whether the production of weapons under the military supervision could be transferred to the Ministry of War for monitoring? Gao Huaiyuan finally said what he meant.

Hearing Gao Huaiyuan's proposal, Zhen Dexiu couldn't help but immediately began to hesitate.

The Song Dynasty has always pursued the control of military generals, the military department is actually just a fictitious department, the real control of the military power is the Privy Council, and the privy council of the privy council and the privy deputy envoy are mostly served by the civil ministers, that is, in order to control the military, so that it can not sit big, and the ordnance supervisor has always been subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, although during the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, there have been several adjustments, the ordnance superintendent has been abolished from time to time, and the current imperial office has not been out of the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

And Gao Huaiyuan now proposed, the imperial should be assigned to the management of the Ministry of War, undoubtedly opened a bad opening, the Ministry of War is already under the military, if the production of armor is under their control, then there will be one less control over the military in the future, not to mention that Gao Huaiyuan is now a matter of the Privy Council, for the military can be said to be a monopoly of power, this is already a very rare thing since the Song Dynasty, and now he wants to put the military inspector under his control, this matter can't help but make Zhen Dexiu hesitate.

I'm afraid that this will be a discord with my officials, and I'm afraid that this official will not be easy to change, but this matter is already known by the official, if the senior can be trusted, then the official will deal with it as soon as possible to ensure that the soldiers will never complain again because of the poor quality of the armor in the future!

After all, this matter is very important, and it is inconvenient for you and me to decide, if you have this idea, why not directly ask the Holy Lord, how about asking the Holy Lord to decide?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhen Dexiu replied to Gao Huaiyuan.
