Chapter 275 Divine Comedy Artifact

I paused, and then said: "All of your six brigade commanders will add a 'deputy' before the position, acting deputy, that is to say, you are all acting brigade commander positions, exercise the power of brigade commanders, everyone, the soldiers and generals of the Royal Forest Army must be evaluated once a year, and those who are qualified can be regularized, or promoted, or remove the pronouns, and the unqualified generals will retain the pronouns, or demote their posts, and the unqualified soldiers will also be ordered to withdraw, do you all understand this." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers understand."

"Yes, that's good."

The competition mechanism and assessment mechanism are necessary means to break the iron rice bowl, to make the Great Song army become an elite soldier, it is necessary to let the capable live, in short, it is the competition for posts in later generations,

"Next, I will announce the allocation of the strength of each brigade again, the second brigade of the first division, that is, the Yi Yi brigade, the sixth brigade of the second division, that is, the He Quchen brigade, will only govern one regiment for the time being, and the remaining four brigades will each command the strength of two regiments, and the regiments below the regiment will be equipped with personnel according to the standard, and each regiment will be composed of a mixture of the original forbidden army and recruits, and the commanders of the regiments under the jurisdiction of the first and sixth brigades will also be temporarily concurrently served by the brigade commander, while the commanders of the other eight regiments will be nominated by the commanders of their respective divisions and brigades to report to the deputy commanders, and the generals below the regiment level will be decided by the division commanders."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The six brigade commanders said in unison,

According to the progress of the Gunpowder Division, by the end of the year, more than 1,000 muskets can be manufactured, plus 500 already in use, about the strength of two regiments can be assembled, that is, nearly 2,000 people, I plan, first of all, let the Yangzhou Army and the Youth Guard mainly the second brigade and the sixth brigade be equipped with firearms, these two brigades are composed of my cronies, and they have already known and trained the basic shooting posture of muskets in advance, so I first let the men and horses of these two brigades all familiarize themselves with the essentials of gun shooting, and then break it up and distribute it to other teams to become the backbone of each department, which is why there is only one regiment in the two brigades.

"Well, the last appointment, Cao Shixiong, Su Bingyi."

"The minister is here."

"Cao Shixiong, I have appointed you as the chief of staff of the Imperial Forest Army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Su Bingyi, I have appointed you as the secretary of the staff of the Imperial Forest Army."

"Thank you for your grace."

Whether it is Xie Daolin, Wen Zhang, or Zhang Shijie, they don't have comprehensive military knowledge, so I specially ordered Cao Shixiong to serve as the chief of staff of the Royal Forest Army to fill the vacancy in this regard, but Cao Shixiong is old after all, so I arranged for Su Bingyi, the martial arts leader, to serve as the secretary, which means that he will learn from Cao Shixiong,

"The above is the appointment of the senior generals of the Royal Forest Army, if you have any objections, you can also raise them."

After a while, Cao Shixiong saw that no one spoke, so he asked: "Your Majesty, is the training method of the Imperial Forest Army the original method of our forbidden army?" ”

"The method of training soldiers has been updated in our army, Wen Zhang and Zhang Shijie have it, Cao Aiqing can go and see, for the time being, it will be carried out according to this method, the slight difference is that after Xie Aiqing's friends arrive, martial arts skills will be added, these basic training projects are mainly for the original forbidden army soldiers and newly recruited soldiers, according to my estimates, the original forbidden army soldiers only need one or two months to reach the standard, and then they can turn to train the professional skills of the Royal Forest Army, and the new army may take at least half a year."

"The Guards' expertise." Cao Shixiong asked,

"Well, Aiqing will naturally find out after a while." I smiled, "Okay, I'll ask everyone here if anyone knows how to make music." ”

"Rhythm." Most of these generals were rude people, although they could read and write, but no one was proficient in music.

"Your Majesty, although the ministers don't understand, there are people in the Yangzhou army brought by the ministers who are quite proficient, that person's name is Sima Chengfeng, a northerner, and his ancestor is one of the people who sing songs in Bianjing City." ZHANG Shijie Dao,

"Okay, just spread that Sima Chengfeng came over, Wen Zhang, you have a thousand young guards, why don't any of them understand?"

Wen Zhang smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the ministers usually don't pay attention to this. ”

After about a cup of tea, Sima rode the wind into the big tent,

Zhang Shijie got up and said, "Sima Chengfeng, hurry up and meet the emperor." ”

"Ah, Your Majesty." Sima Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and bowed, "Little Sima Chengfeng greets the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Don't be polite, Sima Chengfeng, listen to your Master Zhang, you know the rhythm of music."

"Back to the emperor, the emperor, the villain's ancestor is a family in this industry, so slightly, a little bit of a thing."

"Sima Chengfeng, don't be nervous, I have a tune, I hope that as the military song of my Imperial Forest Army, although I can sing, I don't know the rhythm, so I need someone who knows how to be the professor, this is the lyrics, you take it first, and then listen to me sing it again, everyone Aiqing, you can also talk about your views after listening."

"The wolf smoke rises and the mountains look north, the dragon rolls up the horse and the sword is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, who can resist each other for decades, the hatred is crazy and the long knife is going, how many siblings are loyal to the bones of other places, what a pity to die to report the family and country, endure the sigh and be speechless blood and tears, the horseshoe goes south to the north and the people look north, the grass is green and yellow and the dust is flying, I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory, and the dignified Heavenly Empire wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate." In order not to go out of tune, my voice is not loud,

This is a famous song of the later singer Tu Honggang, which was selected by me as the military song of the Imperial Forest Army, if the response is good, it will be used as the military song of the entire Song Dynasty Royal Army.

Sima Chengfeng didn't have the same memory as Fang Ling, even if he looked at the lyrics, he couldn't completely remember the tune, and when I finished singing it for the third time, Sima Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty, I remember all the little ones." ”

"Okay, then you can sing it once."

Sima Chengfeng's voice is loud, but it is really a little similar to Tu Honggang, compared to me, I don't know how many times stronger, in the big tent, Sima Chengfeng's singing sounded, thick and passionate, so that everyone was shocked, and couldn't help but indulge in it,

The song was loud, and it resounded all over the Chinese army's tent for a while,

"Well, this charm is about the same." After Sima Chengfeng finished singing, I applauded,

The people present also reacted at once, and praised one after another: "Good, inspiring, good song." ”

I know that everyone is a layman and only watches the excitement, but the people in the tent are all military generals, but it is very easy to resonate, I asked: "Sima Chengfeng, you are an expert, what do you think of this song." ”

"Your Majesty, this song is different from the tune of our dynasty, giving people a feeling of brightness, and the words are full of passion, urging people to go up, making people excited, tumbling in their hearts, and they can involuntarily make associations, and the small ones think that it is completely feasible as a military song."

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, what is the name of this song." ”

I smiled: "Serve the country with loyalty." ”

Cao Shixiong got up and praised: "Your Majesty, even an old man like an old man feels excited in his heart, the name of the song is good, the words are good, the minister agrees to use this song as the military song of the Imperial Forest Army, no, it should be used as the military song of all the armies of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Fan Wenhuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also said: "The minister also seconded the proposal. ”

"Your Majesty, the villain dares to ask, is the origin of this kind of tune, just now the little one searched all his memories again, and it seems that he has never heard of it."

I smiled and said nothing, and suddenly on a whim, I asked loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you all know the vision that fell from the sky at the beginning of this year, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers know."

Jia Rudao's face was expressionless, but he was stunned in his heart, this Zhao Yu was going to sacrifice this trick again,

"On the eve of the vision from heaven, I saw the first emperor in a dream, and the first emperor said that the second time there will be a phenomenon of eating, this vision is to prove that I am the true dragon son of heaven who should be ordered by heaven, and at the same time, the first emperor also taught me this song, called the essence of the Divine Comedy to serve the country, in addition, the first emperor also passed on a weapon to me, named the Chinese Dragon Cannon of the Artifact."

"The Divine Comedy, the Divine Artifact." The crowd whispered,

"Sima Chengfeng."

"The little ones are here."

"You will teach this divine comedy to the loud voices in the army, and then let them teach all the soldiers of the Royal Guards."

"Yes, little Sima rode the wind and obeyed."

"Well, you step down first, Aiqing, generals, go with me to see that artifact."

"The Divine Comedy is indeed divine enough, it seems that I have never heard such a tune, what will that artifact be." Jia Rudao suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart,

Passing through the garrison of the Young Guard, I took everyone directly to the test firing range of the Gunpowder Division.

"See the Emperor." Chen Dongping and Yun Bo Feidao, who were waiting at the test firing range,

"Two Aiqing, no courtesy,"

"Look, everybody, it's an artifact." I pointed to the cannon road, about ten meters away,

"This is the artifact."

I nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Huaxia Dragon Cannon of the artifact, Bo Fei, I am now leading several important ministers of the court to take a look at the artifact of my dynasty, are you ready?" ”

"Back to the emperor, ready, ready to work."

"Okay, ready to launch."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Yun Bofei finished speaking, he pointed at the red flag in his hand and said, "Everyone is in place, prepare." ”

The gunner next to the cannon waved a small blue flag and responded: "All gun emplacements are ready." ”

"Okay, let's go."

"Bang" with a loud bang,

In an instant, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, except for a few people such as me and Lu Xiufu, Jia Rudao and others saw the test firing of the cannon for the first time, and the reaction of the four major systems was almost the same, and there was even a short-term thinking failure, this, is this really an artifact,

"Guys, go to the side of the mountain and see the effect."

Jia Yidao and Fan Wenhuan glanced at each other, and walked to the side of the mountain with the other generals without hesitation.

I stood in place with a calm expression, and said secretly, "Look, take a good look, especially you Jia Yidao, don't say that I won't give you a chance, I am the guardian of the mandate of heaven, if you must do it against me, then I will not show mercy, if you know each other, I will not pursue your past affairs." ”
