All the houses in the inner courtyard of the North Mansion have been renovated, and the original subordinates are all served by the people of the pro-guards, but the people who live here are dressed and have all the accents, and they are all people of three religions and nine streams. The miscellaneous guards overheard their conversation, and only then did they know that there were officials in the government office here in Ludao, the officials of Dali Temple, the monks who grew vegetables in Xiangguo Temple, the little Taoist priests who rang the bell in Lingxiao Palace, the vendors selling vegetables on the street, the little two who ran the hall in the restaurant, and even a few people who said that they were Chinese, but when they heard it, they knew that Lu Dao was a Hu person from the northwest, and there were more than 100 people. These people came before the Chinese New Year, and they entertained them with delicious food and drink every day, but they were not allowed to go out, and they honestly did not propose to go for a walk, and they did not even step through the second gate of the inner courtyard.

These people are not shocking and do not oppress the public, in the eyes of others, they are just ordinary people, and they will not look at them on the street, but in the eyes of Zhao Ta, they are priceless treasures, and they will not change a mountain of gold, they are the eye spies hidden in the dark in the house. Zhao Ta used the free time of the Spring Festival to recruit them back to the palace from all over the country, first, let them see the good situation of the palace: second, meet and contact the prince to get in touch, don't cry for a long time and can't even find the grave: the third is to exchange experience, organizational discipline and business training.

The training is naturally presided over by Huang Jingchen, and the instructors are selected experienced and masters who have been in the industry for many years, and they must not only learn how to collect and transmit intelligence here, but also learn to develop the downline, deal with the enemy's counter-espionage organization, as well as infiltrate, hand-to-hand combat, lock picking, the use of firearms, these skills, and more importantly, brainwashing, make them loyal to the prince and the organization!

Zhao Ta regarded the Liao State and the future Jin State as his enemies, and this great war was unavoidable, and he asked the spies to investigate them, ranging from collecting the national conditions, political conditions, public conditions, and the preparation of the army, as well as the emperor's likes and dislikes, the yield of grain per mu, the annual rainfall in different regions, the wet and dry seasons of major rivers, the traffic of roads, and even local customs and customs are all investigated. At the same time, he ordered the development of dissidents among the nobles of the Liao State, bribing and co-opting weak-willed elements in the army to open the door for future military operations.

The spies stayed here for a month and left with a generous reward and a new mission, but another group of people quickly moved in, and they came from two systems:

One group was selected from the Guards, and all of them had undergone the basic training of becoming a soldier, mastered the use of new weapons, and possessed strict organizational discipline and good obedience. A while ago, Zhao Ta was trained in the field according to the criteria for selecting special forces, and the long-distance march was an examination of the soldiers' physical strength, and extreme training could test their endurance. Those anti-interrogation training were also tricks that Zhao Ta came up with, "The captive, the whipping and screaming that he heard were all simulated by the sound of whipping mats and the interrogators, and the horse team that rushed over bypassed before stepping on them, some of them broke free of the rope and ran away, some ran around like crazy, and some rushed towards the horse team, wanting to fight, through these little tricks, Zhao Ta selected the best thirty of them."

Another group of orphans who Lu Xiaoyao is responsible for training, there are more than 40 people, they have all gone through systematic fighting, assassination, infiltration, kidnapping, makeup, intelligence gathering training, can live from Lu Xiaoyao's living Hades to the present, this person's quality is absolutely slippery, and another is instilled with the concept of loyalty to the prince every day, and the loyalty is unquestionable, but they are very unfamiliar with the use of firearms and the combat methods of the army.

Zhao Qing gathered these people together to create an invincible special forces force. According to the needs, Zhao Ta wanted them to learn how to use small boats, cano, on foot or on horseback to carry out amphibious infiltration operations, battlefield reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, use the sun and compass to discern directions in the field, learn how to sabotage and assassinate behind enemy lines, master hand-to-hand combat, explosives, and the use of various weapons, and train counterintelligence and anti-assassination to guard important targets.

Through this period of training, the team members should further improve their ability to use their intelligence and physical strength, and each soldier is required to be good at a kind of stunt, understand Khitan or Tangut language, and have a strong ability to fight individually. Zhao Ta has put a lot of effort into this, and of course he has relived the feeling of being a special soldier. ,

Three months later, Zhao Qing reorganized the pro-guard team and used a strengthened battalion to divide it into three capitals and one team. The battalion has a commander and a deputy commander, and two people each who join the army in the judiciary, two people who join the army and two people who are directly under the guard, who are responsible for holding the flag and giving orders, counting eighteen people, twenty horses, eighteen rifles, eighteen revolvers, and eighteen sabers: one hundred and thirty-five people each, one person each in the head of the capital and one deputy head of the capital, one person each in the secretary of the army and one person in the main book, and five heralds, a total of nine people, three teams, 42 people in each team, and a team of four people, divided into four groups, equipped with 150 horses, and 135 infantry guns, Thirty-five revolvers and fifteen sabers.

The first is the baggage brigade, which is managed by the chief bookkeeper of the battalion headquarters, and consists of six doctors, six veterinarians, fifteen firemen, twenty craftsmen, and twenty transporters, equipped with 35 rifles, 36 revolvers, 120 horses, and 20 carts. Their tasks are to be responsible for the food of the whole battalion, the prevention and treatment of the soldiers and horses, the maintenance and repair of damaged weapons and training equipment, and the maintenance and repair of damaged weapons and training equipment, and at the same time participate in military training: in wartime, they must undertake the logistics supply of the whole battalion, collect grain and grass, rescue the wounded, set up camp and set up camp, etc., and can also be used as a reserve force to enter the battle when necessary. The craftsmen are craftsmen drawn from the workshop and have experience in making guns and ammunition, and they can even be converted into a small arsenal if the materials are available. In peacetime, they are under the management of each city, and in wartime, they are uniformly deployed by battalions according to their tasks.

The whole battalion had a total of 500 men and 600 horses, and once it reached the level of two horses per person, it could fight continuously for more than a month by relying on its own logistical supplies. They will be responsible for the security of the entire palace and the guards of important departments, peacetime as a quick response force to deal with emergencies, wartime will be used as an assault force with the prince to go out, only one team is on duty in the palace every day, and is stationed in Beifu for training and standby in peacetime.

In addition, there are 80 guards directly under the prince, and 20 people are the personal guards of the prince, who are responsible for his living and eating and the guards of the inner courtyard, led by Jianxi and Zhao Xin. The remaining sixty people are stationed in the palace, responsible for the vigilance inside and outside the palace, anti-special hoeing, and intelligence collection, led by Zhao Yi, they are the best equipment, weapons can be selected at any time according to different tasks, usually only carry pistols, short knives or short-handled shock guns, these personal equipment, dressed in civilian clothes, appear as the guardian of the palace.

Another unit equipped with more powerful firepower weapons has already begun to be formed, and most of the members are selected from the study of righteousness, and now basic training has begun, and the weapons secretly developed have also entered the experimental stage. After systematic training, Sheding is already familiar with the battle formation, some people are proficient in riding and shooting, most of them can ride horses, and they have reached the combat level of the standing forbidden army, and can be used as a supplementary force of the pro-army to go out at any time, but it still makes Dan Leng weapons, after all, there are many people, they do not manage centrally, and it is inevitable that there will be leaks, so they can only wait until the right time to equip them, and the use of firearms is much simpler than that of bows and crossbows, and they can quickly form combat effectiveness.

After five or six years of planning and more than two years of training, Zhao Ta finally pulled up a team of more than 1,000 people. In addition to being able to accomplish the usual tasks of pursuit, reconnaissance, covering lines of communication, and storming battle formations, which are customary for light and heavy cavalry, they can also dismount and fight, and become a new army with high mobility and strong firepower with comprehensive combat capability.

After arranging all this, the time has entered May, according to the development of history, at this time this year, the emperor's eldest son Zhao Tan should be appointed as the crown prince and enter the East Palace, but now the position of the prince is undecided, and the strength of all parties is still fighting. According to the information from the capital, the Dingwang Mansion praised Geng Nanzhong in the first month of the first month and contacted a group of courtiers to jointly ask Zhao Huan to be appointed as the crown prince.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a set of reasonable procedures for the decision-making and implementation of major political affairs: the chief executive agreed, the face was ordered, and then the Zhongshu Province drafted the decree, and after the deliberation of the Menxia Province, where there was any impropriety, the Zhongshu Sheren and the Menxia Province had the right to refute (that is, to explain the reasons for refusing to pass), and then handed over to the Shangshu Province for implementation, at the same time, the attendant officials could also raise different opinions, and the Taiwan officials could discuss and impeach. Although at this time, Cai Jing often bypassed the restriction procedures such as sealing and refuting and admonishing through the emperor's imperial pen, which led to the vicious expansion of the monarch's power, but the establishment of the crown prince is a major event related to the country for thousands of generations, and Zhao Zhen still has to debate at the court meeting.

Now in the imperial court, led by Cai You, Wang Shea, He Zhizhong, and Gao Yu, the same party resolutely opposed, and the above table asked Lijia Wang Zhao to be the crown prince, and the inner court was headed by Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng, and instilled bad words about Zhao Heng in the emperor's ear, but the prime minister Cai Jing supported the establishment of the chief, and the Taiwei Tong Guan had an ambiguous attitude and did not make a clear statement.

The two sides argued and debated for more than a month without being able to make a decision. In March, Zheng Juzhong, a member of the Privy Council, asked Zhao Ta, the king of Lichong, to be the crown prince, and at this time, Taiwei Tong Guan stood up to express his support, and the court staged a Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhao Ta, Huang Jingchen, and He Qufei discussed this matter several times, analyzed the current situation, and believed that this matter may be delayed for a long time, resulting in the miscarriage of the matter of establishing the crown prince, and the differences between the DPRK and China will be more serious, and one bad will lead to great chaos in the world. Zhao Ta understands that history has changed here due to his arrival, and maybe a turning point in history is about to appear, and maybe a new history will be written by himself! (To be continued.) ）
