For a while, Zhang Jun didn't know how to choose.

Zhao Pu didn't urge, but said: "The Qing family will go down for the time being, and give me a word in three days!" ”

Zhang Jun got up and left.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Jun committed such a big defeat, why is he still so conniving?" At this time, Wang Wuyue said dissatisfiedly.

Three choices, no matter which one you choose, are all beneficial and harmless.

In essence, there are hardly any substantial penalties.

Zhao Pu said quietly: "The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old." Zhang Jun is still talented, but he is not good at managing the army and fighting wars. In fact, it is also my fault, the literati themselves are not good at fighting, but they are still sent to the battlefield to fight! ”

Whether it is, Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun, etc., they are all literati, governing the government and government, writing poems and paintings, but when it comes to marching and fighting, it is really a broken place.

They shouldn't have been on the battlefield, but unfortunately there were no generals, so they had to let these literati come forward to make up the numbers.

Although it is a little funny and a little helpless, it can only be so.

This also made Zhao Pu more tolerant of the defeat of these literati. Of course, tolerance comes at a price, that is, he has not led the army all his life, or has completely transferred to civilian positions, or has some unrelated military positions in the center, and it is difficult to hold local military positions.

…………

A few days later, Zhang Jun chose the third path.

Looking at Zhang Jun's choice, Zhao Pu sighed leisurely!

I don't know if it's the right thing or the wrong one!

Zhang Jun himself is a stubborn person, although he is a literati, but he has a spirit of not admitting defeat in his bones. There is a fighting spirit.

The literati of this era, at the moment of national crisis, some scholars committed suicide by jumping into the river; Some hid in the mountains. ordination; Some simply became thieves and became officials of the Jin Army. And there are too few and too few who dare to accept orders in danger, rush to the battlefield to kill, and fight hard with the Jin army.

Zhang Jun can be blamed for not being able to command soldiers and horses; However, Zhang Jun surpassed and surpassed many literati.

The first way. The second path is a steady path, and there will not be much of a fork. But the third way. But there are unforeseen dangers and unpredictable futures, but Zhang Jun still chose this path.

Rise from where you fall!

This moment. Zhang Jun chose a twist and turn. But there is a backbone of the road!

"Hopefully, you're not in a pit, falling!" Zhao Pu said silently in his heart.

With a holy decree, Zhang Jun was dismissed from all positions and became an ordinary student of the Martial Arts Academy.

And with Zhang Jun entering the martial arts academy, the entire city of Hangzhou was in an uproar. There was a lot of talk, and there were all kinds of remarks. And some ministers. is also constantly figuring out the emperor's intentions.

It was only after a period of time that it quickly subsided.

After all, officialdom ups and downs, this is a common thing, no one is not an old pine, and the emperor does not allow the existence of an old pine.

Some people are promoted, some people are demoted, and this is often the case in the world!

The handling of Zhang Jun is only a trivial matter among many things.

The Battle of the Northern Expedition ended like this. And there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done.

The bereavement of the soldiers, the rewards of some meritorious soldiers, the punishment of some generals, and the examination of military exploits, etc., are all extremely important things, and there is no room for negligence at all.

This Northern Expedition was a victory on the whole.

However, there are still many problems exposed.

For example, in the use of gunpowder weapons, it was very good to strike at the Jin army, but some units of the Jin army also began to be equipped with gunpowder weapons, causing huge losses to the Song army.

After all, the Jin army is not a fool, as long as you think about it carefully, you will also find some advantages of gunpowder weapons, which are also used in battle.

Fortunately, the Jin army's gunpowder weapons were small in quantity and inconsistent in quality, and they posed fewer threats.

This made Zhao Pu breathe a sigh of relief slightly.

Sure enough, there are some things that mere imitation is unsuccessful.

The Song army could invest a lot of money, a lot of resources, in the development and research of gunpowder weapons, because the Song Dynasty had money; However, the Jin army is much worse, the financial situation has always been in a state of deficit, the investment in gunpowder research is insufficient, and it has always been mainly imitation.

Some high-ranking officials of the Jin Army also believed that gunpowder weapons were very weak and that it was okay to defend the city, but there were too many deficiencies in field warfare. Instead of spending a lot of money on flashy gunpowder weapons, it is better to spend it on cavalry construction.

This trend of thought also once again restricted the research and development of gunpowder weapons for the Golden Army.

This made Zhao Pu have to sigh, the inertia of the nation is really terrible!!

For example, when the Eastern Route Army fought in Shandong, due to the poor quality of the cavalry, it was not the opponent of the Jin cavalry at all, and it was almost wrapped in dumplings.

At this time, the cavalry of the Song army was not the opponent of the cavalry of the Jin army at all, and it was far inferior in terms of quantity and quality. At this time, the cavalry of the Song army, with some taste of infantry cavalry, rode horses to chase the road, dismounted and fought hard.

In many moments, the cavalry mainly plays the role of harasser, pinning down the cavalry and completing the task of destroying the enemy, relying more on the infantry.

For example, there is also a serious problem in taking the lead in the war, and many people either exaggerate the warfeats or attribute the merits of their subordinates to themselves, and there are almost unjust cases. It is also thanks to the joint search between the Military Intelligence Department and the internal security that some soldiers have been duly rewarded.

Another example: the Third Division of the Army, there are also problems.

In the army, the Third Division of the Army is Zhao Pu's means of controlling the army.

The military policy of the Song army was essentially a strategy for a weak army, constantly weakening the army, avoiding the emergence of big warlords, and improving the central government's control over the army. This allowed the army of the Song Dynasty to be in absolute control, and there was no possibility of losing control at all, avoiding the division of the country and the division of warlords.

However, the shortcomings are also obvious: the financial expenditure on the army is huge, but the combat effectiveness of the army is so weak that it is scum.

In the ancient feudal society, the Song Dynasty's expenditure on the army far exceeded that of other dynasties, but its combat effectiveness was the worst in all dynasties.

At this time, with the invasion of the Jin army, many local courts were out of control, and warlords were also formed. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army and strengthen the control of the army, the three divisions of the army were formed. The Military Propaganda Department is responsible for the army's propaganda and propaganda of the anti-gold proposition; the Department of Military Justice, which is responsible for supervising military justice and supervising the wrongdoing of the military in the army; The Department of Military Intelligence is responsible for military intelligence investigations and information dissemination.

One controls the minds of the army and is responsible for brainwashing; One controls military law and gives fairness to ordinary soldiers; One controls intelligence and is responsible for supervising the illegal acts of the generals.

The overall idea is good, but in terms of specific operation, there are problems.

Some officials of the Third Military Division have used this to extort money from some generals, or collude with each other, or be greedy for money, or pass on false information, or conceal and fail to report, or form gangs, and there are many problems.

This made Zhao Pu frightened and frightened, and dealt with a group of people ruthlessly, without leaving a trace of affection. After a burst of slashing, some people were frightened, and the atmosphere eased.

There are many, many of these problems, it seems that the Northern Expedition was victorious, but most of them were lucky, and the main reason was that the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army had declined greatly.

If the Jin army had the fierce combat power of the first invasion, this Northern Expedition might not be able to win.

Only by constantly summing up experience and constantly revising ourselves can we rapidly improve our combat effectiveness.

As a result, in various armies, the generals were constantly convened to hold meetings with each other and sum up each other's experiences. And at this moment, the Martial Arts Academy, in response to this battle, is also constantly discussed, constantly simulated, constantly analyzed, and a trace of martial spirit began to recover.

The Northern Expedition is over, which does not mean that everything is okay and you can lie down and rest, but the beginning of another round of training.

There are only two phases of the army, one is the war phase and the other is the preparation for war phase.

The war is over, and many generals can't be idle, instead of picking up girls and girls, it is better to be confined to the military academy and take turns to train, on the one hand, to improve the quality of the generals, and on the other hand, to divide the strength of various factions.

The time of rotation training is only half a year.

Those who pass will receive certain rewards, and promotion will be preferred; And some unqualified will be suppressed accordingly.

After the end of the rotation training, the troops of each faction must be mixed with sand, and the low-level soldiers will not move, and the higher-level generals will not move, but the middle and low-level generals will change in the station, and at least the sixth-level generals will change............

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, moisturizing things silently, and unconsciously, the overall combat effectiveness of the Song army is rapidly improving. (To be continued......)
