[I can only stay on the potential list all the time, ask for more support!] 】

Zhao Zhen planned this expedition to the Americas, the main goal was of course to find rubber, and the rest was just incidental, the reason why he was looking for food to solve the people's food and clothing was just to reduce the opposition of the imperial court.

If he doesn't do this, someone will definitely jump out and scold him for being a faint gentleman, and he will do some "useless" things at the expense of the people and money!

In fact, if we really want to solve the food problem, in the short term, another way is to send a boat to the southern Cham country or Zhenla country to "buy" some back, anyway, these places are vast and sparsely populated, and they are still cropping three times a year, so the people there are lazy.

In addition to sending people to the Americas to collect species, Zhao Zhen also ordered all parts of the Great Song Dynasty to send their own crop seeds, even if they were useless, to the capital. Since the previous "Stone Order", this kind of strange order is not uncommon, and no amount of "seed order" has caused any waves. Everyone thinks that the current emperor's brain is intermittently twitching, or he hasn't seen so many strange things, anyway, these things are everywhere, and it doesn't take much effort, the emperor likes to get it for him.

The bird's ambition to know the bird!

Zhao Zhen can only comfort himself in this way for the people's slander of himself.

This is no wonder for the common people, who have always been the last to receive information, the lowest level of knowledge, and the slowest to adapt to social changes. For them, after the new emperor ascended the throne, there were many strange tricks, and it was simply a wave of unsettled waves.

No, the turmoil of the "Seed Order" has not subsided, and the people around the capital have heard that the emperor is going to fight with the people in the north, and even the forbidden army and field army guarding the imperial city have been sent to the north.

Just when the common people were worried and at a loss, the imperial court finally came out to refute the rumors, and various means from the Royal Times to the local government posted notices clarified the facts in a very short time. It turned out that this was what the new emperor was engaged in disarmament, saying that he wanted to reduce military expenditures so as to reduce the burden on the people in the future.

For the emperor to think so, most of the people must express their support, what better thing than being able to make yourself pay less taxes!

Of course, there are also many readers who oppose it, believing that this is giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of!

Regardless of the popular rumors, the decree of disarmament is a foregone conclusion.

The Shenwei Army and the Longwei Army, totaling more than 50,000 people, soon rushed to the Song-Liao frontier and took over the defense lines of the Baoding Army and the Ansu Army respectively. Subsequently, the field army also rushed to the camp of the Yongning Army (Yongning Army is not only the name of the local administrative place, the status is equivalent to the state capital, it is generally located in a military important place, and it is also the title of the garrison) located outside Anguo City, Qizhou, Hebei West Road.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, in order to strengthen the modernization of our army, improve the army's combat effectiveness and ideological quality. From now on, the armies of the two routes in Hebei began to accept reorganization. It is specially ordered that your unit immediately set off for the Yongning Army to assemble, and arrive within one month, and those who violate military law will be punished. Chin this! "The Jinyi Guard, who went with the Divine Guard and the Dragon Guard, read out the holy decree loudly in the camps of the Baoding Army and the Ansu Army respectively.

It was one of the two surviving Jinyi guards who went to Liao with Sun Fu to announce the decree of the Baoding Army, and because of that merit, this guy named Jia San also mixed into the position of squad leader.

After he finished reading the holy decree, the officers of the Baoding army surrounded him, not because they wanted to rebel, but just to inquire about the situation and peace of mind. If this kind of large-scale disarmament is placed in other dynasties, it is estimated that it will either mutiny or someone will take the lead in rebellion, but it is difficult for this situation to occur in the Song Dynasty, perhaps this is the only point that Zhao Zhen is most grateful for in the previous dynasties' decision to "emphasize literature and ignore military force". These civil officials may not be good at doing good things, but they control the generals to the death, and without the generals taking the lead, the soldiers below can't make waves even if they have any ideas.

The chief general of the Baoding army took the lead in asking Jia San countless questions: "Lord Angel, can you tell us what the situation is?" Why did the Holy One suddenly let us go to the Yongning Army? We are stationed on the frontier, so don't we leave the frontier......"

Although Jia San is a herald and has a special identity, he also knows that he has a lot of gaps with the generals of the first army, and he doesn't have any arrogance, so he said kindly: "General Hui, the small one is a messenger, and we will do whatever the Holy One asks us to do, and the small one does not dare to speculate on the holy will." However, the little one can tell the general a piece of news, in addition to your Baoding Army, there are also the Ansu Army, the Yongjing Army, the Shun'an Army and the Yongning Army, and the field army created by the Holy Lord himself has also arrived in the Yongning Army. If the little one says this, will the general be satisfied? ”

"Satisfied, satisfied!" The commander of the Baoding army hurriedly replied: "The holy decree does not explain how to solve the border garrison, dare to ask the angel if there are other wills?" ”

"General rest assured! How could the Holy One not know this? The Divine Guard Army and the Dragon Guard Army are about to arrive, they will take over your Baoding Army and Ansu Army respectively, and the general will leave as soon as possible after handing them over, it will not be good to delay the time. The little ones will go back to their lives first, and the generals take care! ”

"Angel go!"

After Jia San left, the account of the general of the Baoding army exploded in an instant, and the generals at all levels were there to release their opinions, and the noisy generals were so big that he was annoyed and yelled loudly: "Be fucking quiet!" How can you judge the will of God, and if you don't hurry up and make preparations, you really want to be beheaded at the wrong time! ”

Everyone saw that the usually polite and polite generals were rude, and they all quickly dispersed.

At the same time, several other armies were also playing out this situation. In the end, whether they were willing or unwilling, they obediently led their soldiers towards the Yongning Army, and no one wanted to be beheaded by the emperor because of this.

Thus, the first large-scale military reform of the Song Dynasty began.

At present, the situation of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, there are more than 30 armies in the Great Song Dynasty, with a total strength of more than 1.5 million, and nearly 1 million have been released on the Song-Liao border alone. Although the actual number of troops may vary, such an army (without considering the issue of combat power) is indeed a bit saturated for the Song Dynasty, whose territory is not large.

According to Zhao Zhen's concept, it is necessary to refine the current army, roughly divide it into three levels: field army, garrison army, and reserve army, and cut out the old, weak, sick and disabled, and gradually implement the service period system to ensure that all the army is strong.

A month later, the first batch of troops involved in the reintegration had been assembled on time. In order to accommodate these more than 300,000 people, the Yongning Army also had to expand the camp by surprise.

In order to make a good start, the first time to preside over the reorganization was Zhi Weizheng himself, and the field army under his command, oh no, it should be called the Qilin Guard now, the soldiers of the Qilin Wei had to serve as instructors and maintain discipline at the same time.

All the soldiers rested for a few days, and as soon as they had recovered from the fatigue of the journey, they were assembled.

More than 300,000 people, it is a number, but it is really necessary for so many people to stand together, even if one is close to the other, it is estimated that it is difficult to see the head at a glance.

"Today is a great day for you! History will remember your changes today! Now the Holy Lord hopes that you will continue the prestige of the field army, and this official hopes that you will not tarnish the name of the field army...... This official announced that the reorganization of the First Group Army of the Northern Field Army officially began today! All the generals stayed for a meeting, and the soldiers disbanded! Zhi Wei was looking at the dense crowd of hundreds of thousands of people, and he didn't bother to be long-winded, just briefly said a few words of grandiose words.

The real core issues, which the soldiers did not understand, or could not understand clearly, had to be announced at the next meeting.

All the generals present in the army, about a hundred or so in total, were crammed into a barracks, waiting for the most exciting moment.

"Hello adults!" Seeing Zhi Wei walking in with more than a dozen captains under his hands, everyone hurriedly got up to salute.

Zhi Weizheng also replied kindly: "Hello generals! Sit down! Next, I will talk about the specific things. ”

"Yes, sir!" Everyone sat down in unison, their armor touching together, and the sound was spectacular.

Zhi Weizheng motioned for several captains to find a place to sit down, and then he took out a stack of papers and put it on the table: "This official doesn't like to be verbose!" I hope that everyone will be blunt about anything in the future, and don't go around the bush with this official. On the order of the Holy Lord, this official presides over the reorganization of the matter, and I hope you will cooperate more! ”

"Your Excellency, please! We dare to disobey our fate! ”

"Excellent! Next, the official reads the Holy Command, and everyone stands! Seeing that everyone was standing in order, Zhe Weizheng took out the holy decree and recited: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that in order to adapt to the changes in the new international environment and deal with possible crises, it is now decided to carry out military reform and try to build a strong army in the Great Song Dynasty." The former field army was upgraded to Qilinwei, which was responsible for army training and testing of new weapons, while the field army will be reorganized and trained by local armies. The First Group Army of the Northern Field Army, as the first reorganized unit, hopes that the First Group Army of the Northern Field Army will play a leading role and that there will be no mistakes. Chin this! ”

"Your Ministers obey!" Although this time the order did not make everyone kneel, the slogan should still be missing.

"Maybe you are still wondering why you are not allowed to kneel down this time, but the official tells you that this is also a small aspect of the Holy Lord's reform. In the rest of the training, you will gradually get used to these new rules, and I will not say much about them here. Next, the official will talk about the specific arrangements, according to the requirements of the Holy Lord, the reorganization will divide the soldiers into three levels, the upper ones will enter the field army, the middle ones will enter the garrison army, and the lower ones will belong to the reserve. The old, weak, sick and disabled are not among them, so you will select these people first, and the Holy One will arrange their places in a unified manner. In this process, you must pay attention to understanding their thoughts, communicate in time, and don't let them misunderstand that they have been abandoned, the saint has always said that these soldiers have paid too much for the Great Song Dynasty, and when they are old or disabled, the country will think of feeding them. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, we will definitely convey the will of the Holy Lord, and we thank the Holy One for his kindness!" The generals all knelt on the ground with some excitement.

Under the special background of the Song Dynasty, the more than 1.5 million troops in the country suffered the most more than these border troops stationed in the Song-Liao frontier. The Western Xia had not yet been established, the problem of Tibet was not big, and the small countries in the south had not yet stretched out their claws, and they occasionally encountered only a few small fights, the most serious of which was the Yan'an Campaign that year. But the border armies of the Song-Liao frontier are different, they always have to face the threat of the powerful Liao State, and there may not be many big battles, but they have not stopped in private. Most of the disabled soldiers brought about by this did not end well, and to be honest, those civil officials in the imperial court did not take their lives seriously.

From this point of view, it is understandable that these generals were able to hear from Zhi Weizheng's mouth and feel excited about the relationship between the saint and the soldiers.

Zhe Weizheng also went all the way like this, and he understood the general's mood very well, just like he didn't do back then: "Everyone get up!" Use this intention in your future training and strive to achieve the goal of the Holy God as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, sir!" After everyone stood up, one of the generals asked, "My lord, the young general has something unclear, please give me advice!" ”

Zhi Weizheng bowed his head at him: "Say it!" ”

"My lord, you said that this soldier is divided into three levels, what do you mean by this garrison and reserve? And how is the salary of the third-class soldier distributed? ”
