"Warrior?" Di Qing's expression became solemn and said, "Of course I need to." The military weakness of the Great Song Dynasty is not in the soldiers but in the generals. It is precisely because of the current military generals that they generally love money and cherish their lives, are cowardly and sluggish, do not know how to lead troops, lack of strategy, low quality, ......and sensational, San Lang has seen the virtue of those officers in the southwest, and I won't tell you that the army in the north of the Great Song Dynasty and the forbidden army in the capital are not strong. The only thing that can be done is the Western Army, otherwise I would not have asked for the Western Army to be transferred to quell the rebellion. ”

After a pause, Di Qing said a little gloomily: "What I didn't expect was that in the battle of Kunlun Pass, we fought with the nong army who came in a hurry in the best battlefield, at the best time, and in the best state, and the result was a narrow victory. It can be seen that in the more than ten years since I left, the Western Army has also begun to degenerate rapidly. One of the most important factors is that the group of veterans who fought fiercely with Western Xia back then have all withered. Although the imperial court reopened the military movement, it was inevitably a mere formality, and it was unable to select qualified personnel, resulting in a lack of qualified generals in the army, and the quality of the army deteriorated sharply."

Talking about the problem of the army, Di Qing looked worried, and even forgot about his situation for a while.

Under the influence of the concept of "small external troubles and terrible internal worries", the emperor of the Song Dynasty adopted the policy of repairing literature and martial arts, and listed the military book as the first one, which inhibited the development of military education, and there was no martial arts and martial arts education. The direct reason for the Song Dynasty's change of attitude was the establishment of the Western Xia, ...... under the dual military threat of the Liaoxia and Xia, Zhao Zhen had to re-examine the national policy, revitalize the military, and select military talents was imperative.

Since then, the martial arts have been opened with the Jinshi subjects, and there are liberal arts examinations, and there will be martial arts examinations at the same time, which has a history of more than 20 years. At this time, the martial arts examination was divided into four levels: competition, solution, provincial and palace examinations, which not only tested martial arts but also tested strategies, and paid attention to the military theoretical literacy of martial arts people, with the aim of selecting talented and civil and military generals.

However, the results were very unsatisfactory, because the atmosphere of emphasizing civilians over military force in the whole society and the extremely low attention of the civilian clique made very few people willing to take part in the martial arts.

"Why can't the liberal arts and sciences be able to network the best talents in the world, the martial arts examinations, has the marshal considered this problem?"

"I have considered it", Di Qing said: "I think there are three reasons, one is that the atmosphere of emphasizing literature and ignoring martial arts makes people go to the examination of literature, and only those who are really hopeless will come to the examination of martial arts." Both of them, after passing the Jinshi examination, become a master, so they are eager to do so. Those who passed the martial arts examination cried and shouted that they would not hold military positions, because being a soldier was a cheap job, and even if they were officers, they were looked down upon. ”

"And the third, that is, there is martial arts without martial arts", Di Qing continued: "Just like the school is the foundation of the imperial examination, and martial arts is also the foundation of martial arts. ”

"The marshal saw it very accurately." Chen Ke nodded in praise, his eyes flashed and said, "However, the marshal can change all this!" ”

"Me?" Di Qing said unconfidently.

"That's right! The three reasons why you said that martial arts are not booming, in fact, can be improved. Chen Ke said: "Emphasizing literature over military force is the masterpiece of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Zhenzong, but now the official family has realized the harm of doing so." Otherwise, the martial arts will not be reopened, let alone let the marshal and Wang Xianggong, two martial artists, both become privy envoys. It's just that doing so will harm the interests of the civilian clique, so the resistance is too great, and the officials have become more and more depressed over the years, and they have little intention of cheering up, so they can't see any improvement. ”

"The only one who can change the status quo is you, the marshal!" Chen Ke said in a deep voice to Di Hanchen: "Your appeal and influence among the people have reached an unimaginable level, which is also the reason why those civil officials are afraid of you. Because I'm afraid of you, I'm so anxious to get rid of you! ”

"If the marshal proposes to the official family to build a martial arts academy of the highest standard, with the official family personally serving as the mountain chief, supplemented by the best teachers, specially teaching students Wen Tao Wuluo, and making it clear that all martial arts must be learned by martial arts, is there still a shortage of applicants for admission?" Chen Keji waved his hands and said: "When the time comes, I don't know how many people will rush to become protégés of the Son of Heaven and students of the marshal!" ”

Di Qing was also enthusiastically boiled by Chen Ke's words, he found it at once, in the era when there was no war, his proper position, and he couldn't help but press Chen Ke's shoulder and said: "San Lang, why didn't you tell me earlier?!" ”

"It's not too late to tell." Rao is Chen Ke's iron bones, and he was also pinched by him and said: "I just don't know if the marshal can stand the hardships of teaching and educating people." ”

"Hey", Di Qing let go of his hand and said angrily: "This is the country's century-old plan to revitalize the military, even if I am a teacher for the rest of my life!" ”

"The deep meaning of this, the marshal hasn't understood ...... yet", Chen Ke's eyes flashed: "This is a lever to pry the world." ”

"Oh......", Di Qing's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"The generals trained from martial arts have the identity of 'protégé of the Son of Heaven'." Chen Ke said lightly; "In front of civilian officials, the confidence should be tougher, and the officials should trust some ...... more, and it is very important to reverse the situation of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force."

Di Qing nodded slowly and said, "In this way, I will dedicate the rest of my life to it!" After a pause, he said, "It's just an official, will you agree?" ”

"Definitely." Chen Ke said firmly: "As I said earlier, the civilian-official clique is already strong enough to coerce the will of the officials. This year's boiling Lichu incident, the Liuhe Pagoda incident, and even the marshal's incident are all clear proofs. He lowered his voice and said: "No matter how benevolent the official family is, he has been the emperor for decades, and since he has understood that the policy of emphasizing literature over military force has passed, and he is also making every effort to adjust it, he will definitely agree with your plan,...... Don't forget, those generals are all students of the official family! ”

Chen Ke didn't say a word, the emperor's mental technique is actually two words, check and balance. After passing the Wenyu Martial Arts, it will inevitably be adjusted, and Zhao Zhen will not understand this truth

Speaking of this, Chen Ke smiled and said, "And now is the right time." The marshal played this card, which can play the triple role of expressing grief, showing loyalty, and making the official family comfortable. ”

"Why can Saburo see it so clearly." Di Qing was completely convinced, and he even felt that he had rejected the other party's suggestion several times before, and he really didn't know what to do. Looking at Chen Ke, he was both amazed and ashamed: "And I'm nearly half a hundred years old, but I've always been ignorant? ”

Chen Kexin said, this is too normal, I have seen the 'Hundred Pulpits' in my last life and have a reference answer. Of course, he could only pretend to smile and smile: "Don't say that, marshal, do you specialize in art, let me learn for a lifetime, and I won't be able to learn the marshal's ability to fight." ”

"Not necessarily." Di Qing shook his head and smiled: "If you are willing to learn, you can teach it." I believe that with Saburo's intelligence, it is not impossible for him to raise troops to break through Helan Mountain and capture Li Liangqi one day. "Helan Mountain is in the territory of Western Xia.

"This glorious and arduous task ......" Chen Ke laughed and said, "It's better to leave it to the marshal!" ”

"I don't know what this life will be", Di Qing said excitedly: "Is there a chance to return to the battlefield!" ”

"Speaking of stepping through Helan Mountain, I have a word for the marshal." Chen Ke was not ashamed this time, and said in his heart, Yue Wumu, you are old and magnanimous, you definitely don't mind if I use it to save Di Wuxiang, maybe, in this world, there will be no more Jing Kang shame......

"I've heard that Saburo can make wonderful words." Di Qing was overjoyed and said: "I personally grind ink for you!" ”

"Good!" Chen Kexin said, Grandpa Yue's words, but you are also polished with ink, so he picked up the pen and drew Yue Wumu's "Man Jianghong" on the paper:

'Angry hair rushes to the crown, and the rain rests on the railing. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be strong. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad! ，

'Shame on the abyss, still snow; When will the courtiers perish? Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky! ，

Di Qing watched from the side, only to feel that every word hit his soul, the blood that had cooled down and boiled again: those ambitions that had been forgotten were all alive, scratching his heart, pushing against his lungs, as if they were about to erupt from his chest, as if they were going to turn into the most powerful roar to look up at their eyes, look up to the sky, and be strong!

When Chen Ke finished writing, Di Qing's face was already full of tears, and he bowed deeply to Chen Ke and said, "San Lang, thank you for saving me." Twenty years ago, that Di Qing came back again, and that Di Qing, who was chasing fame, will never come back! ”

"The author of this poem is the marshal, not me." Chen Ke said categorically: "Don't remember, otherwise you won't be able to achieve the final effect, and it will be easy to get into trouble." ”

"This ,..." Di Qing understood after a little thought, it has always been a taboo for the emperor to collude with the clan. If the author of this poem is Chen Ke, then the official family will inevitably think that he is not pulling connections for Zhao Zongji,... The relationship between Chen Ke and Zhao Zongji, after the propaganda of the official family, is already known to everyone, and no one knows about it.

"It's really embarrassing to just steal Saburo's masterpiece." Like Yue Fei, Di Qing's literacy is not weak, enough to support this poem. Moreover, his identity as a martial artist is a match made in heaven with this poem, and he is absolutely not afraid of being suspected, and someone ghostwrote

"How does the marshal learn those measures? It's not cool. Chen Ke shook his head and said: "I'll help you, but I can't get used to the behavior of those civil officials, you don't have to feel that you owe me, and I will never blackmail you anything, as long as you can survive this hurdle and run the martial arts academy, what is a mere word?!" "Right, Grandpa Yue?
