Chapter 69: Comprehensively Suppressing Bandits

Since Zhao Zhen adjusted the system between the DPRK and China, the responsibilities of various departments to themselves have become obvious, and the efficiency of work has also improved. For example, some daily affairs were completed by themselves under the auspices of the various ministries, and in case of emergencies, the prime minister would convene the cabinet members to discuss and solve them, and if he still could not be the master, he would be alarmed.

The reason why Zhao Zhen has such a cabinet is to be lazy for himself, or to prepare a supreme authority for his absence. Of course, the ministers were not used to this at first, and they still liked to come to him from time to time to report some problems. Habits are slowly formed, Zhao Zhen believes that he can let them develop this habit in his life, and there is a long way to go when it comes to democracy in this era.

Staying alone in the huge palace, Zhao Zhen's thoughts drifted to the future again, fantasizing that he was leading the Great Song Dynasty to the peak.

"Your Majesty, General Kind and General Zhe ask to see you!" Xiao Shunzi saw that Chong Shiheng and Zhi Weizheng were coming together, and had to interrupt Zhao Zhen's reverie.

"Oh, please come in!" Zhao Zhen came back to his senses and tidied up his clothes.

"The minister (minister) meets the emperor!" The two came to Zhao Zhen and gave a military salute.

"Excuse me! Why did the two Aiqing come today? ”

"Back to the emperor, the ministers just miss you, come and see!" Chong Shiheng rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Don't talk about it, if you have the spare time to come and see me, your wife won't nag the Queen Mother that you won't go home. Say, what's the matter? ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Chong Shiheng did not react to Zhao Zhen's ridicule, and never forgot to pat himself first, but Zhi Weizheng was very hurt on the side.

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, just gave him a blank look.

"Hey...... Your Majesty, you see that we have been practicing these forbidden armies for more than a year, and the ministers are almost the same, just practicing like this is boring! Look at ......," said Tan Shiheng weakly.

"What's the matter! Do you want to be a general and don't train soldiers? Zhao Zhen glared at him.

"Your Majesty, you have wronged the dead minister, the minister wants to say, we have not moved since the Yan'an War, these bones are rusty, and the Japanese army has gone out to shake around, and we are still in the nest!"

"I can't help it, there shouldn't be a big deal on the frontier in the past two years, your duty is to take advantage of the past few years to train me more elite soldiers."

"Your Majesty, you see that our current combat effectiveness is very good, far exceeding that of previous generations, or we will take the initiative to attack......"

"Take the initiative? Who do you want to hit? I don't think you have enough of the saliva of civil servants. Don't think about it, even if the civil officials agree, I don't agree! ”

"Your Majesty, why is this? It's not your style! ”

"Style? Can it be eaten as a meal? I'm going to talk to you today, so that you don't have to think about it all day, and you two come here. Zhao Zhen took the two of them to the wall, pointed to the map on the wall and said: "This map is the map of my Great Song Dynasty and the surrounding forces, you can look at the several forces around my Great Song Dynasty." The south side faces the sea, and for the time being, this will have to wait until the navy is built up to make a difference. There are still some small countries in the southwest of Dali, and there is no threat for the time being. To the west is the Tibetan tribes, which used to violate our borders, but in the past two years, they have learned to do business with us, and they have converged a lot, and our dynasty has also profited a lot from these trades, so this is not considered for the time being. ”

Zhao Zhen stopped, and the stick in his hand slashed to the north, and the eyes of Chong Shiheng and Zhi Weizheng also followed. The eyes of the three of them converged here for a long time, and finally Zhao Zhen sighed and continued: "This still can't be moved, although they often commit border raids, but after all, they are superficially subservient to our dynasty, and if we move first, the master will be unknown." The main thing is that our current army can't uproot them, and if we can't do this, it's not interesting to just make a small fuss. However, you can send the special forces who are training there and take out their small forces in retaliation. As for the last Liao State, I don't think it's a big threat, they have been peaceful for a long time, the army's combat strength is also unbearable, and it is reported that there is already instability within the Liao State, let them go internally! ”

"Listening to what the emperor said, the minister is a hut today! Nachen let the guys in the special brigade who are above the top suffer a little. Thinking of the unruly guys in the special combat team, Chong Shiheng's teeth itched.

"Yes, but to control the scope of the conflict, it is not appropriate to expand it for the time being."

"The minister understands, he must pick a shrewd guy to lead the team." Chong Shiheng patted his chest and reassured.

"Your Majesty, you see that the Japanese army has gained a lot from going out to suppress bandits, and the soldiers are also eager to fight, why don't we also go to suppress bandits?" Zhi Weizheng saw that Chong Shiheng had forgotten his original intention, and the signs of the crooked building were obvious, so he had to remind him out loud.

"That's right! Your Majesty, you see that you have dizzy Weichen, how about you let us also go to suppress the bandits? Chong Shiheng suddenly woke up, remembered the purpose of his coming and hurriedly helped.

"Bandits? I really didn't think about it, since you don't dislike this work yourself, and being idle is idle, I should agree. However, the last time I asked the Japanese army to suppress the bandits, some people said that I was not generous enough and did not give them a chance to mend their ways. This time, I will give them a chance, limit them to the government within a month to turn themselves in, and after a month, you will start to exterminate them, try to kill as few people as possible, catch more work, and have a lot of work waiting for people to do! ”

"Your Excellency understands! Let them all go and build roads! ”

"Well, the progress of this road construction is not enough, it should be better to get more people. Since you want to play, you can play bigger, I will join the Tianwu and Longwei armies in this banditry, appoint Zhong Ping as the commander-in-chief of this banditry, Pingjing as the deputy commander, and at the same time divide the troops into the eighteenth road, you are limited to complete the task of suppressing bandits within one year, and half of the troops will be recovered within half a year, and there will be other important arrangements next year! ”

"The minister (minister) obeys the order!"

"I remind you that in order to prevent the bandits from colluding with the local government, it is best for you to send your own scouts or ask special forces to help you find out the news, and you should not trust the local government."

"Your Majesty, what should the important ministers do if they really find out that the local government is colluding with the bandits?" Zhi Weizheng asked cautiously.

"Ping Jing is really as careful as a hair! You and Zhong Ping are really a perfect match, if you encounter such a situation, you only need to collect evidence and come back and hand it over to the Supervision Yuan. You must remember that you are the purest soldiers, and that it is your duty to defend your home and the country, and that it is your duty to protect the interests of the country and the people. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers must keep it in mind!"

"Not only must you remember, but every soldier must understand this truth, and the ideological education of soldiers must not be relaxed."

"Please rest assured! The ministers did not dare to relax for a moment. Then the minister waited and went to prepare? ”

"Hmm...... Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something, remember to pay attention to this place when you are fighting bandits. Zhao Zhen pointed to the place where Shuibo Liangshan was in the future.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has written it down."

"Go ahead!"

"The minister (minister) retires!"

"Although Song Jiang hasn't been born yet, it's not surprising that there are other people who have fallen into the grass here!" After the two left, Zhao Zhen stared at the map and muttered to himself.

Let's say that the two of them returned to the barracks in anticipation of everyone, and read the holy decree loudly in front of everyone, which immediately caused an uproar, and they all volunteered to fight for the saint, as for whether they want to be loyal to the saint or want to escape from this hellish training ground, it is difficult to say.

Several families were happy and worried, the Tianwu Army and the Dragon Guard Army were selected for the encirclement and suppression mission, and the soldiers were elated one by one, which made the Divine Guards who had no chance to fight red, and it was better to praise the Japanese army, after all, they had already tasted the sweetness. There was an example of the Japanese army there, and none of the soldiers showed even the slightest worry about the upcoming war, and the boring and harsh training of these days made them feel that they were very strong and bored, and they had long been looking forward to being able to go out and do a great job, whether it was a promotion or a fortune.

Although there are many reluctances, the Divine Guard also has to obey the holy decree and honestly guard the house, no one has told you fairness these days, and the emperor of heaven and earth is the greatest.

"This time to suppress bandits, the saint is very concerned, this official is fortunate to be the commander-in-chief of the bandits, I hope you will cooperate!" Chong Shiheng was the first to be polite at the pre-war meeting.

"The general has an order, don't dare to disobey the lowly position!" All the generals stood up and replied loudly.

"Excellent! The official arranged the deployment of this anti-bandit operation, and the Holy Lord approved a total of more than 70,000 troops of our field army and the Tianwu Longwei army. Although there are many troops, the task is also very heavy, and the Holy Lord ordered us to complete the task of suppressing bandits from all walks of life throughout the country within a year, and this march alone will be very time-consuming. Therefore, we have no choice but to divide our troops, and in accordance with the battle plan drawn up by our colleagues in the General Staff Department of our field army, you will be stationed in various areas as a brigade to suppress bandits, and divide them into two major parts according to the distance, with the cavalry responsible for the distant ones and the infantry responsible for the close ones. Depending on the situation in different regions, some may have two brigades, and a few may have only one brigade. For the sake of fairness, you each draw lots and choose the place you want to go, the whole country is so big, and the places are far and near, you must be mentally prepared. In addition, the Holy Lord also temporarily assigned a special combat team to each brigade to assist you, I hope you will not be disappointed in the Holy Lord! ”

"The ministers obey the order and swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"So be it! You each go to receive the task, during the suppression of bandits, General Zhi is in charge of the Beijing division is responsible for full command, and the official personally leads a team to Dongping Mansion (formerly Yunzhou). ”

"Zhongping, I'll take someone to Dongping Mansion! You're the commander-in-chief, you should be in charge! Zhi Weizheng persuaded.

"Pingjing, it's not that you don't know that I can't sit still with my temper, so it's better for you to command! Besides, it's very fast to go to Dongping Mansion to take the waterway, I'll just think about it and see what is strange here that the saint specially named, and I'll come back after solving it, I guess it's been a long time, so I'll wronged you. ”

"Alright! You go as soon as possible! It's really like you're so old and so frizzy. Zhi Weizheng spread his hands helplessly.

"Hey, hey, or brother, you'd better wow!" Chong Shiheng patted Zhen Weizheng's shoulder and said happily.

Zhi Weizheng was speechless about this, and went to arrange operations and logistics by himself.

Chong Shiheng looked at the empty palm, touched his head, and tried to resolve his embarrassment, and the generals were not surprised by this.

"Look, don't hurry up and get your go! Jinhua took your people and walked with the official! Chong Shiheng shouted arrogantly at the onlookers.

"Gotta order! Hahaha! I can't help it...... Hahaha! Yang Jinhua looked at his embarrassed appearance and laughed, it didn't matter if she smiled, so that the people around her who were holding back very hard couldn't hold back.

Seeing this, Chong Shiheng's face darkened. If other people could go up and teach him a lesson, but Yang Jinhua didn't eat him, everyone knew that she was playing with the saint, and she had never been afraid of heaven and earth, but she was afraid that the emperor would scold her.

"Alright! Alright! If you've laughed enough, let's go! Chong Shiheng had no choice but to pull Yang Jinhua and escape.

"Hahaha......" An even more exaggerated laugh erupted behind him.

"Alright! Let's get to work! Zhi Weizheng stood up, don't look at him as a deputy, the soldiers are more afraid of his black face.

Watching everyone leave shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing along the way, Zhi Weizheng was also drunk. I have experienced all kinds of intrigues and intrigues in half of my life, even in the army, and I only felt such a brotherhood for the first time in this field army. Although in peacetime training, Chong Shiheng is strict with them, but in peacetime, he is not so particular, even the lowest soldiers can get along with him, which is something that other armies dare not think.

"Thank you for the kindness of the saints, so that the minister is fortunate to meet a group of pure soldiers, if all the soldiers of my dynasty are like this, why not be afraid of barbarians!" Zhi Weizheng sighed alone.
