Chapter 5 The first content of the reform

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor directly controlled the construction, mobilization and command of the army, and the military power in the hands of the minister was divided into three parts, and the Privy Council was in charge of the military registration and tiger charm.

As soon as Zhao Lei entered the wooden house of the command post, Gao Huaien asked to check the tiger talisman.

The tiger talisman is a symbol of the power of the Great Song Dynasty, with the right to mobilize soldiers and horses, the tiger talisman is generally a bronze talisman in the shape of a crouching tiger, divided into two, one is in the hands of the leading generals, the other half is in the hands of the official family and the Privy Council, the half-fast tiger talisman can be used to mobilize soldiers and horses at will in the jurisdiction, but want to get out of the jurisdiction, unless you have a complete tiger talisman, it is a major crime of rebellion.

Of course, Zhao Lei carried this kind of thing with him, and when he heard Gao Huaien's request, Zhao Lei immediately took out the tiger charm and handed it to Gao Huaien.

Gao Huaien took out his half-fast tiger talisman and fought with Zhao Lei's half-fast, and a complete tiger talisman appeared in Gao Huaien's hand.

"That's right! The tiger talisman is very complete, Lord Zhao, please put it away, and the other half will be brought back to Bianjing and handed over to the Privy Council. After Gao Huaien tested the tiger talisman, he said respectfully to Zhao Lei.

The master next to him saw that the verification process was over, so he picked up the thick account book on the table and handed it to Zhao Lei.

"My lord! The Gyeongju army had a total of 6,000 men, including 500 cavalry, 5,000 foot soldiers, and 500 military soldiers; There were 500 high-class horses, 1,000 long-handled knives, 1,000 long-handled spears, 1,000 long-handled axes, 2,000 short-handled knives, 2,000 short-handled swords, 500 single bows, 500 single crossbows, and 50 compound bed crossbows. 80,000 bows and crossbows of all kinds, 10 heavy stone throwers, 1,000 foot armor, 10,000 stone of military rations......" Lord Bo watched Zhao Lei start to flip through the account books, and hurriedly stood beside Zhao Lei and carefully explained the numbers on the account books.

"That's it! Needless to say. Tell me that these things are all put there, and the official will send someone to count them! Zhao Lei listened to the nagging words of the master Bo and said impatiently.

"Back to Lord Zhao, except for the equipment on the soldiers, the rest of the things are in the warehouse, that is, in those caves!" The main man said respectfully to Zhao Lei.

"General Yang! You take the people and count the supplies against the books. Zhao Lei pushed all the things to Yang Wenguang and said.

"Yes! Checkmate! After Yang Wenguang clasped his fists and saluted, he took Yang Jinhua, Xiao Ruoruo and others away to count the supplies.

"How many old, weak, sick and disabled people are there in the army?" Seeing that only Gao Huaien was left in the wooden house, Zhao Lei asked him directly.

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Gao Huaien said with a somewhat embarrassed wry smile: "About a thousand." ”

"A thousand! Not bad. It's less than you think, by the way, Gyeongju is close to Western Xia, and the cavalry combat effectiveness is better than that of the Western Xia army? Zhao Lei pondered for a moment and said to Gao Huaien.

"Cavalry!" Gao Huaien smiled strangely and said calmly to Zhao Lei: "Lord Zhao has come for a long time, and you will know after a long time." ”

"So there's something wrong with the cavalry?" Zhao Lei didn't let go at all, and asked seriously.

"Although the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is not as good as that of the Western Xia cavalry, it is not far behind, but the quality of the war horse is too far behind that of the Western Xia." Gao Huaien looked at the serious Zhao Lei, and said his depressed things with a wry smile.

"War horses! Isn't it written in the account book that the best war horses are made? Zhao Lei asked indistinctly.

"It used to be a high-class war horse. But all these years have passed, and even the best war horses are old, and now they can run. That's good. Gao Huaien said with a more and more bitter smile.

Zhao Lei finally understood the general situation of the Gyeongju army, low morale, insufficient training, aging war horses, plus old and weak soldiers, there are many problems!

No matter how much it doesn't matter for now, the most important morale now, if there is no morale, is to come to the good war horse and eliminate the old and weak. It is still impossible for the army's combat effectiveness to go to the ground, thinking of this, Zhao Lei asked Gao Huaien, who was very frank: "Lord Gao! Can the custom of black noodles be removed from the army? ”

"Impossible! There are deserters in the frontier defenders, which is the will of the first emperor in order to prevent deserters, and after the abolition, how to solve the problem of deserters. Gao Huaien flatly refused.

"Strange! Why didn't the Bianjing Forbidden Army have black noodles? Zhao Lei said to himself.

"The Bianjing forbidden army has not fought for decades, even the training is very little, the army is not only safe, but also some not low income, of course there are no deserters, Gyeongju is a frontier, often facing the threat of Western Xia, happy to sort out and the prosperity of the Central Plains and Jiangnan of the Great Song Dynasty, attracting the people of Gyeongju, so there are often deserters, the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the soldiers of Qin Feng and Yongxing Army fled the most, just because of the invasion of Western Xia." Gao Huaien said hatefully.

"Three-sided! The three sides are the frontline, and their soldiers are not grim-faced? Zhao Lei asked if he thought about the solution.

"The soldiers on the three sides are all soldiers composed of ethnic minorities on the border, who are originally more aggressive than the Song people, plus the local life is poor, and the people are eager to join the army, so there is no need to be faceless, and the people there will be deserters there?" Gao Huaien sneered and said, it seems that he is also very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Great Song army!

Counting the army's materials is a very time-consuming work, and the disorderly cave is full of all kinds of swords, guns, swords, and halberds, which is enough for Yang Wenguang and others to complete the inventory in three days.

After counting the materials in the barracks, there is only one last formality left, and Zhao Lei can officially take over the Gyeongju barracks.

……

The midday sun is very scorching, and although it is already the beginning of autumn, the fiery red sun still makes people feel hot.

The Gyeongju military camp is built on the middle of the mountain, with cliffs on the east and west, and steep mountains stretching to the north, and only the south has the only way up the mountain.

The Gyeongju military camp is built on the mountain, and in the middle of the barracks is a wide open space that can accommodate thousands of people, and the wooden houses between the mountain peaks and forests are rising around the open space, and in the middle of the wide open space, more than 5,000 soldiers in Gyeongju stood there in a neat phalanx, looking at Zhao Lei and Gao Huaien and others standing on the stone platform with numb eyes.

"This is the crown prince and the defense envoy of Gyeongju, Lord Zhao Lei, from today Lord Zhao will take over all the affairs of the Gyeongju Army!" Gao Huaien stood on the stone platform and said loudly to the soldiers below.

Zhao Lei stared at the eyes of more than 5,000 soldiers, they heard Gao Huaien's news, there was no emotion fluctuation in their eyes, no joy or sorrow, as if they hadn't heard Gao Huaien's words at all.

Zhao Lei sighed in his heart, he knew how the current situation appeared, the Great Song Dynasty army was frequently mobilized, and it was common to replace the leading generals twice in a year, so that the soldiers did not know the generals, the generals did not recognize the soldiers, and the final result was numbness, no matter who the imperial court sent to lead the troops, they were treated numbly.

"This official Zhao Lei, from today to take over all the military affairs of the Gyeongju Army, in addition, this official also follows the will of today's official family, reform the shortcomings of the Gyeongju Army, and you will slowly contact the reform in the future, today the official will first say the first thing of reform, that is, to reform the face, from today on, the newly recruited soldiers do not have to be faceless, as long as they put a mark on the arm, chest, and back." Zhao Lei looked at the lifeless more than 5,000 soldiers below, and said in a loud voice.

As soon as Zhao Lei's words were finished, the eyes of more than 5,000 soldiers suddenly burst out with astonishing brilliance, and they began to talk about the credibility of Zhao Lei's words.

"Lord Zhao! That's not right! The edict of the first emperor is to prevent deserters, and if it is changed without authorization, I am afraid that it will attract the participation of Taiwanese officials! Gao Huaien never expected that Zhao Lei would suddenly come to this trick without discussing with him, and asked eagerly.

"General Gao! Now the official is the defense envoy of Gyeongju, and this kind of thing is naturally the final say of the official, and the edict issued by the first emperor back then, but it only left a thorn mark, and it did not explain that it was a black face, and the official did not violate the edict of the first emperor! Zhao Lei looked at Gao Huaien and said with a smile.

Before the person left, the tea was cold, this Zhao Lei was really ruthless! Gao Huaien looked at Zhao Lei with a wry smile and thought.

"It's all gone! Generals above the eighth rank went to the command post to discuss matters! Zhao Lei waved his hand to the soldiers who were talking about it below, and walked down the stone platform.

……

In the command post, Zhao Lei, who had just returned, heard Gao Huaien and more than a dozen of his subordinates greet him and left without saying a word.

"Don't worry about him, it is estimated that he will not be able to get off the stage today, so he will run away directly, and he has no cultivation at all!" Zhao Lei waved his hand indifferently and said to Yang Wenguang, who reported his news.

"Cultivation! Sanshi, Gao Huaien is a general of the five big and three thick, what kind of cultivation can he have! Yang Wenguang replied with a smile, he now has a very harmonious relationship with Zhao Lei, and when there are no outsiders, he calls him a brother and a brother, and he only calls him an official when outsiders are present.

"That's why I said that I don't care about him, Brother Zhongrong thinks that a general who has no cultivation can have any atmosphere! At best, he is just a general, and he can't even talk about talent, so why talk so much nonsense with him! Zhao Lei said with a smile.

"Brother Zhao Lei! Two regiments in the army have come over. Yang Jinhua, a delicate and lovely little girl, ran in with a smile and said to Zhao Lei.

"Be serious, this is the barracks, you have to call Lord Zhao, how bad it is for others to hear it!" Seeing the frolicking Yang Jinhua, Yang Wenguang immediately raised his face and said.

"That's it! Got it, is there anyone called Lord Zhao when it's time! Isn't it! Brother Zhao Lei! Yang Jinhua didn't care about her brother Yang Wenguang's reprimand at all, and still said to Zhao Lei with a smile, but after hearing the footsteps outside, her face immediately sank, and she also learned from Yang Wenguang to pull up her face.

At this time, two generals in armor stepped in, one on the left was about forty years old, tall and mighty, thick and powerful, at a glance he knew that he was a brave warrior, and on the right one was twenty-five or sixteen, but the person was very delicate, and there was no beard, his face was as pale as a woman, and his figure was not tall, but his eyes were sharp, and his eyebrows were full of perseverance.

"Gyeongju Military Infantry Corps training envoys Tang Jie and Di Qing, meet the general!" After the two generals walked into the command office, they bowed to Zhao Lei and said.

Table tennis! The brush in Zhao Lei's hand fell on the desk.
