The mass base is important!

During the Han and Tang dynasties, the martial spirit was strong, the status of the military was quite high, and the Han Dynasty was the goal of the man's lifelong yearning, and in the Tang Dynasty, the heavy martial arts and light literature reached its peak, and Yang Jiongshi of the Tang Dynasty said: "Rather be a centurion, than a scholar", very straightforward, the scholar's status is low, not as good as the centurion in the army. Li He's "South Park": Why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures? Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? It is even more to take the resentment of scholars who have no way out to the extreme, you all see which one of those heroes on the Lingyan Pavilion who has been named the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households is a scholar?

At that time, a large number of elites entered the army, and the quality of the army was very high and the combat effectiveness was very strong.

As the saying goes, prosperity and decline, things must be reversed.

In the Song Dynasty, the national policy of separating civil and military affairs and using literature to control military affairs was established, and there was a large gap between the treatment of civil ministers and military generals, which directly led to the low status of military generals and the high status of literati. The military leadership system in place is often dominated by civil servants and deputy posts by military generals. As a result, the social status of the soldiers is not high, and most of the military recruits are victims of disasters and famines, and they are very respected, believing that "the world's fierce and derelict people are all the defenders of the good people", that is to say, the potential rebels become soldiers who defend the imperial court, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The Northern Song Dynasty stipulated that new recruits should be tattooed on their faces or arms to indicate their military numbers, which also prevented soldiers from escaping, as the government could arrest people with the tattoos.

Tattooing on the face of soldiers, although the Song Dynasty was not the first to create, the brutal emperor Zhu Wen of the Later Liang Dynasty had people tattoo on the faces of soldiers, if they fled for their lives without permission, once they were captured, they would be killed, but the Song Dynasty tattoos became a system.

Who is willing to tattoo words on their own skin, "There are unworthy children who join the army, and their fathers and relatives do not despise them." Ordinary people are ashamed to join the army, and most of the soldiers are low-born people, and in the eyes of the people at that time, the status of soldiers was not much different from that of criminals.

As a result, "although there are many soldiers, the combat strength is weak, and although the country is rich, the soldiers are not strong."

The Song Dynasty's depreciation of martial arts began with the emperor's advocacy, and later became a social atmosphere, and it was ashamed of martial arts.

If it's a peaceful year, it's nothing. But now it is a troubled time, and now we must rely on military generals to fight the world, can we resist the Jin army by relying on scholars?

Zhao Pu shook his head, the Jin army called, and the scholar doctor only had two ends, one was a thief and the other was a suicide.

Originally, he just planned to simply check the combat effectiveness of the eight-character army, but Wang Wuyue's sentence "It is better to be happy alone, it is better to be happy with everyone" suddenly woke him up, and it was time to review the eight-character army, so as to enhance the martial spirit of the whole people.

But now, Zhao Pu doesn't care anymore.

The disappearance of the martial spirit has certainly reduced the danger of warlordism in China, but it has also reduced its national defense capability, and it is always facing a national crisis. If the social atmosphere is not reversed, the tragedy of Yashan will happen, and the massacres of the late Ming Dynasty will resurface. He can't afford to lose, and once he loses, what he loses will be a hundred years of national fortune.

Soon, the news of the actual combat exercise of the Bazi Army spread, and as long as the officials of the rank were able to go and watch the battle.

As the news of this scene spread, some sensitive people vaguely seemed to notice something.

At this moment, Huang Qianshan was a little frightened in the Zhongshuling Mansion, because not long ago, his nephew was beaten, and the following was even more abolished. At that time, he was extremely angry, and he just wanted to try his best to settle accounts with that guy, but he soon got the news that that person turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor, and his anger suddenly turned into fear.

In a state of panic, I waited for the news.

"Actual combat exercises!" Huang Qianshan thought in his heart, "This is the beginning of Your Majesty's heavy martial arts, and it seems that you have to pay attention to martial artists again!" ”

With the advent of war, the martial forces will inevitably be expanded, and it is impossible to suppress the martial forces, and the only way to maximize the benefits is to obtain from them.

Huang Qianshan had a bad premonition in his heart, his thoughts were chaotic, and he couldn't figure out a clue, so he could only go to the mansion of the right prime minister Wang Boyan. When I arrived at the mansion, I found that Wang Boyan, Fan Zongyin, Zhao Ding, Du Chong and others were all gathered together.

The ministers in the court are all gathered together, some are the peace faction, some are the main battle faction, usually above the court, quarreling constantly, as if they want to fight to the death. It's just that at this moment, they are calmly gathered together, because they are all scholars, whether it is the main peace or the main battle, they are all internal disputes among scholars and doctors, and they can be reconciled. At this moment, it is a confrontation between scholars and warriors, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

At this time, they gathered together to discuss the issue of the actual combat exercise of the Bazi Army.

"Your Majesty, it's time to re-martial yourself!"

"Half of the number of people we planted in the Eight-Character Army was thrown out!"

"First the martial arts academy, and then the actual combat exercise, Your Majesty is so generous!"

"We literati have tried to meddle in the Bazi Army many times, but have been avoided by His Majesty. The eight-character army, called the Son of Heaven's pro-army, is actually a group of martial artists, once it is unfavorable to His Majesty, there is a mutiny, and it will be too late! ”

The various literati present complained endlessly, this majesty is good at everything, but he attaches too much importance to the military generals, and throws them aside and discards them, how not to let them worry about it!

And Wang Boyan sat there, his face was also full of melancholy, and he couldn't understand the character of this majesty, but now that he was the head of the sergeant doctor, he had to speak: "Your Majesty, this is to be the emperor of Shenzong!" Emperor Shenzong is now working hard to govern and wants to be a generation of holy emperors, so he appointed Wang Anshi to change the law, and Wang Anshi's personality is stubborn and extreme, and the law of green seedlings is harmful to the people; The five-way crusade against Western Xia resulted in repeated defeats, the loss of a large area of territory, and the scattered blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers! ”

"Your Majesty, this is to repeat the mistakes of Emperor Shenzong, we are all pillars of the imperial court, we should sweep away traitors for the emperor, and return peace to heaven and earth!"

Wang Boyan said righteously, as for how much truth there is, it is worth studying.

…………

In Yingtianfu, the undercurrent is surging. At this time, the Jin Kingdom has entered a golden age.

As the Jin-Song War expanded further south, the Jin army occupied most of the area north of the Yellow River. Jin Taizong took charge of the military and political affairs of North China with the Marshal's Office, and the left and right deputy marshals were in charge of the Lianghe region, so it was called the "Eastern Imperial Court and the Western Imperial Court". During the four years of Wanyan's undeparted command of Hebei's military and political affairs, he was assisted by Liu Yanzong, Zhang Tonggu, Zhao Yuan and other former Liao and Song officials, and there was a shortage of personnel in the Fuzhou County Bureau. The good officials were selected to appease those who had avoided the war and protected the mountains and fortified the country, so that they could return to the fields, so that the social economy of Hebei, which had been devastated in the war, recovered.

Everything is developing for the better, and Hebei, which was originally full of crises and rampant rebels, has a hint of peace.

But then the unexpected happened.

Because of a fight, it triggered the death of an important person.

The blanket is a hollow inflatable leather ball, "eight pieces of sharp leather masonry, and it is kneaded in the fire and water." A pack of idleness is as usual, and the kicks and punches are not stopped. "The hammer is struck with a rod, therefore, the beating is also called the beating of the hammer, the striker is riding on a horse, waving the staff and beating, and divided into two friends (teams), set up two gates, two Meng (nets), with the ball into the opponent's Meng for the victory.

Playing is essentially polo.

Wan Yan is a polo lover, likes to play, and has a lot of fun, but he is very happy and sad, and he suffers from heat stroke.

There are many people who suffer from heat stroke in summer, and those who suffer from heat stroke have dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, nausea, chest tightness, palpitations, weakness, thirst, sweating, lack of concentration, and numbness in the limbs; It may be accompanied by fainting, coma, seizures, or high fever, among others. There are many, many people who suffer from heat stroke in summer, but there are too few deaths from heat stroke.

And Wan Yan couldn't leave playing polo too much, and as a result, he died of heat stroke.

PS: Thanks to iceer74 for his comments on the financial problems of the Song Dynasty. At this moment, when I write a book, I know that there is less prescription for books, and I need to check a lot of historical information.
