Chapter 228: Ordered to Raise Troops

This New Year is undoubtedly the happiest Spring Festival for Zhao Yun, after Shi Miyuan's death, his henchmen have fallen into ambush, and the court ushered in a group of virtuous ministers like Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, showing a clear political situation, and he can finally take charge of Dabao and do a good job!

So Zhao Yun after the military admonition, but also devoted himself to dealing with political affairs, no longer have time to hang out, play some flowers, birds, insects and fish, get up early every day to go to the morning court, listen to the hundred officials to invite all kinds of things, and discuss various government affairs with the hundred officials, busy and happy, although it is a little hard, but Zhao Yun is still in full swing.

Zhao Yun's performance made Gao Huaiyuan feel relieved, packed up his thoughts, and went all out to send troops after the year, although it was already the Spring Festival period, but this time the participating troops he ordered were in full swing on the school field, Gao Huaiyuan also put down a lot of things, took out time as much as possible, and constantly inspected the army, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he gathered the army near Lin'an and did a large-scale actual military exercise.

In this real military exercise, he first did a war game deduction on the map with his generals, and then held a large-scale live exercise outside the city, setting up the red and blue armies, which were respectively commanded by Zhao Futang and Hua Yue, and he was the chief referee, and the two sides launched an almost actual combat drill in the north of Lin'an City.

The drill lasted for three days, and the main subjects of the exercise were field attack and defense between the two armies, and at the same time, an acropolis was used as an imaginary enemy to conduct a siege drill.

Such a large-scale actual combat drill is the first time in the history of the Song army, so it attracted many civil and military ministers, all out of the city to observe, even Zhao Yun couldn't help it, put down the banquet with the ministers, and took a group of ministers out of the city to watch this rare drill scene together.

The soldiers of the drill heard that even the emperor came to watch their drill, and they worked harder, and with the issuance of the military order, the shouting of killing was deafening, and the red and blue armies put on various formations, constantly impacting each other.

When have these civil and military ministers ever seen such an almost actual combat scene, they were shocked to see it for a while, and they felt as if a big war had really happened, many people were so frightened that their faces were colorless, and they watched the soldiers who were like wolves and tigers rushing back and forth, and they were so frightened that their legs and stomachs were a little tendoned, but those officials who were born as military generals watched with boiling blood, relish, and applauded loudly from time to time.

In this exercise, Gao Huaiyuan can be said to have made sufficient preparations, everything is based on actual combat as much as possible, and there is no fancy show at all, so the scene is very intense, and it can even be said that it is cruel, in addition to the fact that there is no bloody scene, it is inevitable that many soldiers will be beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and casualties are also expected, and the battlefield atmosphere of the drill will be brought into full play.

Zhao Yun sat on the dragon chair on the high platform, raised his eyes to look at the array and battle of the army in the distance, and was also a little frightened, he had never seen the real war scene, and after watching this actual combat drill today, he knew what war was, it turned out that the war was so tragic, and it made people feel a little blood boiling.

This army of soldiers and horses, although it is still the army of the former palace division and the army, but after being led by Gao Huaiyuan, it has already changed the previous kind of casualness, and under the training of a group of enthusiastic generals, it swept away the style of only putting on a show, everything is based on actual combat training, after tens of thousands of people launched an attack, the formation is not chaotic, under the command of their respective generals, it can be said that they have basically achieved the danger and are in a certain way!

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan dared to pat his chest this time to ensure that Li Quan's rebellious army was pacified within half a year, in addition to some unknown factors, this was also his biggest guarantee, originally, the front division of the palace and the infantry division were the soldiers and horses guarding the important places of Gyeonggi, and the selection conditions were given priority over those in other places, and the overall quality of the soldiers was stronger.

However, after Gao Huaiyuan took over the command of the former division of the palace, he strictly ordered the elimination of these original malpractices, and the whole army carried out strict drills, don't look at the time of about a year, but the combat effectiveness of all armies has been unprecedentedly improved, even Fang Shuda's infantry division has been warned, with the large-scale training activities carried out by the troops of the front division of the palace, plus the seed army of the Holy Protector Army, the strength of the two armies around Lin'an is really not to be underestimated.

Gao Huaiyuan stood on the platform, constantly observing the process of the entire exercise, nodding slightly, expressing satisfaction with the results of this exercise.

And sitting on the viewing platform of the civil and military officials, also had to nod secretly, to the performance of the army this time to express admiration, before everyone in the heart of their own army bottomless, it seems that the Song army is very well equipped, the shelf is also very sufficient, but often after the battle, but there are few victories, in the Northern Expedition of Kaixi, Han Yanxuan mobilized the country's elite soldiers and horses, and the Nine Roads sent troops to attack the Jin State, but the result was that except for the guard Ma Junji's Bi Zaiyu was outstanding, the rest of the soldiers and horses could be said to be a defeat, and they were defeated.

Looking at the previous Song army, when fighting with the Jin State, they were all defeated and won less, so as Song people, many people have a shadow in their hearts, and feel that the Song army is unbearable, but today when they saw such a large-scale exercise by the front division of the palace and the infantry army, they couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if the Song army is like these generals now, who else is the Great Song Dynasty afraid of?

Zheng Chunzhi is also in the list of spectators, has been carefully paying attention to the performance of the armies in the field, the performance of the armies can also be said to have greatly shocked Zheng Chunzhi, although this time he strongly advocated not to turn against Li Quan, for fear that Gao Huaiyuan would make the situation in Jingdong more and more out of control, forcing Li Quan and other generals of the Northern Army to turn against each other, and he had no confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Song Army, but after watching this drill today, Zheng Chunzhi felt that Gao Huaiyuan's words seemed to make some sense, Maybe he can really solve Li Quan within half a year!

During this period of time, because Gao Huaiyuan was going to send troops to the Northern Expedition to Li Quan, Zheng Chunzhi and Gao Huaiyuan were very unhappy, especially for Gao Huaiyuan to cross him and recommend so many virtuous ministers, he was even more dissatisfied, he was not against Zhao Yun recruiting these virtuous ministers into the court as officials, but felt that this kind of thing, as a military general, Gao Huaiyuan should not interfere without authorization, so that after many officials entered the court, after learning that it was Gao Huaiyuan who recommended them, they showed favor to Gao Huaiyuan, and secretly expressed gratitude to Gao Huaiyuan in their hearts, and to him Zheng Chunzhi, There is a little less respect.

This is the reason why Zheng Chunzhi is most disliked, this time he opposed Gao Huaiyuan's troops, and his anger can be said to account for a considerable component, but unfortunately he failed to take advantage of it this time, Zhao Yun still agreed to Gao Huaiyuan's request to send troops, and there are also quite a number of ministers in the DPRK and China, who expressed their support for Gao Huaiyuan, so this incident can be said to be irreversible.

And just before the Spring Festival, Li Quan's people suddenly found Zheng Chunzhi's house, secretly gave Zheng Chunzhi a very generous gift, and gave him a beautiful woman, so that after meeting Zheng Chunzhi, Li Chen Li Quan is now very obedient to the court, and has no heart to rebel, although he was bewitched and supported Zhao Hong's rebellion, but immediately repented afterwards, and did not cooperate with Zhao Hong to raise troops in Huaidong. Doing so will chill the hearts of many Northern Army, and I hope that Zheng Chunzhi can come forward to stop Gao Huaiyuan's Northern Expedition, so as not to hurt the harmony.

Zheng Chunzhi is worrying about this matter these days, and secretly contacted some people, trying to play again, wanting to stop Gao Huaiyuan's northern expedition to Li Quan, but what he didn't expect was that Gao Huaiyuan had just passed the New Year, and he came to such a large-scale military exercise, looking sideways at the excited Zhao Yun, Zheng Chunzhi could see that Zhao Yun had also been encouraged by Gao Huaiyuan this time, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to dissuade this matter again.

After sighing slightly, Zheng Chunzhi put away the idea of continuing to stop this matter, Li Quan himself has no virtue, he offended Zhao Yun and Gao Huaiyuan at the beginning, and he buried the bitter fruit himself, go and enjoy it yourself! Zheng Chunzhi made up his mind and didn't care about it.

After this military exercise, Gao Huaiyuan led the generals to sum up the problems that had arisen in this military exercise, ordered the troops that had not yet met the requirements to immediately rectify the situation, and secretly worked out a detailed attack plan.

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, 20,000 elite soldiers and horses gathered in the north gate of Lin'an City in the morning, Zhao Yun personally drove out of the city, presided over the sacrifice ceremony on the school field, killed the animals and sacrificed the sky, sacrificed the flag with blood, and personally awarded Gao Huaiyuan the tiger handsome seal, and personally put on an embroidered gold robe for Gao Huaiyuan, and personally gave Gao Huaiyuan the right to control the Huaidong armies, so that he could act cheaply in the affairs of Jingdong, and when necessary, he could confer the official on behalf of me, And unexpectedly, this time he did not send a civilian official to accompany the army as a supervisor, and at the same time, he also issued an edict to revoke all the previous appointments of Li Quan by the imperial court, announced the demotion of Li Quan as a commoner, and ordered the whole world to discuss it.

Such authorization, in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty to send troops can be called unprecedented, it can be seen that Zhao Yun's trust in Gao Huaiyuan, to what extent, Gao Huaiyuan is also very moved, Zhao Yun's trust allows him to have a very relaxed environment for dealing with Jingdong affairs, in this way, it is more convenient for his next move, so he led the crowd to immediately kneel down, long live the mountain, and please rest assured that Zhao Yun will ensure that within half a year, Li Quan's chaotic army will be pacified.
