Chapter 268: The Appearance of the Son of Heaven

"It's like another dream."

After waking up, I desperately tried to grasp the scene in the dream, but no matter how hard I tried, the happy scene in the dream was still gradually gone, and I couldn't catch it after all, and in the end, I only knew that I had a dream, the content was about Le Lingshan, and I couldn't remember the details at all.

Everyone dreams, more than ninety percent of dreams will be forgotten after waking up, only a few dreams will leave a vague impression, this may be the ancient literati and writers like to use the word "residual dreams" to describe dreams.

I closed my eyes tightly, even if it was just a little residual dream, I didn't want it to slip away, of course I knew it was a dream, but I didn't want to really wake up, even though it was just an illusory conjecture, I still deliberately indulged in it, whether it was a dream or a thought, I couldn't tell the difference,

"Official, it's time to get up." Quan Jiu's voice pulled me back to reality,

I said "grace", knowing that it was time to go to court, I slowly opened my eyes, I am still me, the combination of Song Duzong, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the crosser Huyan East China Sea,

It's a new day again,

Lin'an in winter is getting colder day by day, but the Funing Palace is warm, the heating effect of the fireplace and the fire wall makes people feel very warm in winter, and it is more comfortable than the heating in the north in later generations, of course, this kind of fireplace, fire wall, etc. can only be enjoyed by a few powerful people, and ordinary people can only rely on stoves, soup pots and other items to keep warm in winter.

There is still some distance from the Funing Hall to the palace hall, the cold wind in the early morning is still quite cold, but my body is not afraid of the cold, although I am not very dressed, the previous Huyan Donghai and Zhao Yu are very afraid of the cold, and in winter they will wear more clothes than ordinary people, compared with last year when they just crossed over to the Song Dynasty, whether it is me, or Zhao Yu, or the body of the two of us has become stronger and stronger,

"Your Majesty, Chen Yi has a book." Chen Yi, the sailor general who had just returned to Lin'an, came out and said,

"Chen Aiqing, please speak."

Chen Yi raised his hands high and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is ordered to parade the military defense along the river, this matter has been concluded, the details are compromised, please take a look at it." ”

I took Xiao Qi's fold and said: "Well, Aiqing has been here for more than two months, spanning most of the Yangtze River Basin, hard work, Aiqing's recital will be reviewed as soon as possible, about the matter of the sailor, after the meeting, a meeting was held in the apse to discuss, Lu Xiufu of the Military Affairs Yuan." ”

"The minister is here."

"Lu Aiqing, the recruitment of soldiers for the new army has been closed, what is the situation."

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, the recruitment of generals yesterday said that no one signed up, the ministers and others interviewed the original four conscripts, the detailed information of the Military Affairs Institute is collating, today it can be reported to Your Majesty, the recruitment of non-commissioned officers of each army has been completed, the situation is as follows, the personnel of the Imperial Forest Army is 10,000, including 1,000 young guards led by Wen Wenzhang, 500 people from the Zhang Shijie Department of the Yangzhou Army, and 4,500 people were selected from the forbidden army, 4,000 people were recruited from the people, exactly 10,000 people in total, and 40,000 people in the Lin'an Theater of Operations, Among them, 20,000 people came from the forbidden army, and another 12,000 people were recruited from the people, and the remaining 8,000 people were selected from the remaining personnel of the original forbidden army, and the matter was also completed, 10,000 horses and horses in the Guangnan theater were selected from the forbidden army, and the other 10,000 horses needed to be recruited after Lord Fan Wenhu went to Guangnan. ”

I nodded and said: "Well, regarding the candidates for senior generals in the two major theaters of Lin'an and Guangnan, I plan to mainly select from the generals of the forbidden army, and in the original forbidden army, the generals above the battalion commander can sign up, and they will be reported to me after being assessed by the Military Affairs Institute and the Ministry of War, and then combined with the recommendation of Xia Gui Xia Aiqing in Luzhou, and finally ruled by me." ”

"Yes, I obey."

"How many of the remaining soldiers and strokes of the forbidden army meet the recruitment requirements of our army."

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 75,000 people in the original Lin'an Forbidden Army, 42,500 were selected by the Royal Forest Army and the two major theaters, and among the remaining 30,000 people, there are 16,000 people who are not old and physically unqualified, and more than 10,000 people are unwilling to continue to serve in the army, and about 6,000 qualified soldiers need Your Majesty's instructions to stay or not. ”

I thought for a while and said: "In the future, the recruitment of our army is set to be once every two years, and if there is a war, it can be temporarily increased. ”

"Very well, Your Majesty, how should it be arranged?"

"Two thousand of them who can swim have been transferred to the sailors, and I have other uses; Two thousand men were handed over to Fan Aiqing's Quang Nam Theater to ease the burden of local conscription in the Quang Nam Theater, while the other 2,000 remained in the Lin'an Theater. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"For the forbidden army that voluntarily left and the officers and men of the forbidden army who have been dismissed, it is necessary to make arrangements for the aftermath, and before the formation of a system for the demobilization of military personnel, the household department, the official department, and the local government should unconditionally cooperate with the military department to do a good job in the demobilization of these personnel, such as household registration, the receipt of land, and the reduction and exemption of taxes on land, etc., and if they are willing to stay as auxiliaries, the military department also needs to give priority to them."

Judging from this large-scale troop adjustment and conscription, it is not what I imagined - the people enthusiastically joined the army, although the propaganda was in place in advance, but it may be related to the Song Dynasty's policy of emphasizing literature and light military force, coupled with the rumors of the people's ferocity of the Mongolian iron cavalry, so that many Song people are reluctant to let their children serve as cannon fodder, and the living arrangements of the soldiers after retirement have not formed a strict security system, so that many soldiers are poor after retirement because of the lack of land in their hometowns, or they have no skills,

The economy of the Song Dynasty was far ahead in the entire feudal society, but it did not follow up militarily, and the most fatal thing is that the blood surname of the Han people gradually disappeared with the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, until the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Chinese nation reached the most dangerous time, it was forced to make a final roar,

"Lu Aiqing, you and the relevant personnel of the Military Affairs Academy, the Ministry of War and the Navy Division went to the apse to rest and prepare for the restructuring meeting of the Navy Division."

"Yes, I obey."

"Yushi Chen Yizhong, Criminal Department Chen Zongli, Shichen, the three of you will stay first, and the rest of Aiqing will retreat first."

After everyone left, I said, "Chen Yizhong, what's the matter?" ”

Chen Yizhong took a step towards the middle and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”

"Chen Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, since the implementation of the "Code of Conduct for Officials" on September 1, the vast majority of officials in our court have been able to abide by the law, and the ministers have followed His Majesty's will and shifted the focus of the supervision of the imperial history work to the corruption of officials, so the minister asked His Majesty whether to file a case for investigation. ”

"Ministry of Works, Lang Zhongjiang Yundi."

I am very unfamiliar with this person, after all, I usually have little contact with the Ministry of Industry, but Jiang Yundi is Jiang Wanli's nephew, which has attracted my attention, I looked at Jia Ru who was sitting in the main hall and said: "The national law is aimed at all the officials and people of my dynasty, and the "Code of Conduct for Officials" is aimed at all the officials of our dynasty, Chen Aiqing, do you say that you should file a case." ”

Chen Yizhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister understands. ”

"Thousands of years ago, when Shang Ying changed the law, he proposed, 'The prince violates the law, and the people are guilty of the same crime', isn't it that my dynasty is not as good as the pre-Qin ancients, I have spent countless efforts to deal with the phenomenon of corruption [***], not just on the lips, Chen Yizhong, Chen Zongli, two Chen Aiqing, you remember to me, no matter who it is, even if it is a relative of the emperor, once it violates the laws of our dynasty and violates the official code, there is no need to show mercy, and it will be handled strictly in accordance with the law."

"Yes, your ministers obey." Chen Yizhong, Chen Zongli responded in unison,

"Of course, you must not wronged any good person, otherwise I will also be dealt with for the crime of false accusation, in view of this is the first case since the promulgation of the "Code of Conduct for Officials", you must carefully investigate, because the Independent Commission Against Corruption has not been established in the whole country, therefore, I have decided that Chen Zongli of the Criminal Department, you and Chen Yizhong will be responsible for the investigation together with Dali Siqing, Shichen, you think it is so feasible."

"Your Majesty, the old minister has no objection."

"Okay, until there is accurate evidence in this matter, you will keep it secret for the time being, and you must not startle the snake."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Well, two Chen Aiqing, step down, master, go to the apse with me to participate in the naval division military reform meeting."

I took a big stride and marched towards the apse, Jia Rudao and Xiao Qi followed closely behind me, and also walked together,

Over the past year, my spirit and spirit have been completely different from the original Zhao Yu, between the steps, thick and steady, straight like a dragon walking a tiger, all showing the majesty and solemnity of the emperor,

Jia Rudao walked so close to me, it seems that it was a long time ago,

"This is definitely not the original Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu walks to give people a fluttering posture, where is half like the person in front of him, moving like a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, quiet as Mount Tai, people can't help but have a sense of fear, this is an out-and-out appearance of the Son of Heaven." Jia Rudao rubbed his eyes and sighed secretly in his heart,

"Today's upper position is on the occasion of the flying dragon in the sky, the Taishi must not be hard to touch, when learning the hidden dragon in the abyss, although the flying dragon is high, but it is extremely laborious, the so-called on the can not last, there will be a time of exhaustion, and the Taishi to the body of the hidden dragon, to wait for work, when the time is ripe, since the two dragons are reversed." Master Lian Zhen's assertion appeared in Jia Yidao's mind at the right time,

It only takes a few minutes to arrive at the apse from Daqing Palace, but these few minutes make Jia Yidao think a lot, although Lian Zhen's statement is very reasonable, but how long will this wait time, at least from the current situation, Zhao Yu did not show a trace of fatigue at all, and his flying momentum continued to rise,
