readx; On a rainy day, he was idle, and Zhao Zhen summoned two members of the Zhao clan, one was the ordnance officer Zhao Yannian, and the other was the baggage officer Zhao Yang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When choosing a personal guard for the emperor, Li Changli sent these two Zhao clansmen over to catch knives outside the emperor's tent, and both His Majesty the Emperor and Zou Tong were very satisfied.

"Wufang, sincerity, both of you are considered the elites of my royal family, have you ever done anything unspeakable in the Yun Zheng army?"

Zhao Zhen asked very directly, he didn't need to hide it in front of his own people, he had his own considerations when he sent the children of the royal family to the Jingxi Army.

The two of them who took off their armor paused and said: "Hui to the head of the family, Weichen and the others are all fine in the Jingxi Army, but it is really a shame to not be the general of the unified army you hope for." ”

Zhao Zhen was wearing a soft robe today, leaning on the brocade couch casually, and frowned when he heard Zhao Yannian say this: "But Yun Zheng is not allowed?" ”

Zhao Yang smiled bitterly: "Returning to the master of the family, it is not that the general is unwilling, but that there are many talents in the Jingxi Army, and it is the poor ability of Weichen and other ministers, so he did not become a general of the unified army."

As a last resort, Weichen and the others had to find another way, one to study ordnance, and the other to study money and food, which led to their current control position.

The head of the family, Weichen thinks that more outstanding children of my royal family must join the Jingxi Army, and in time, there will definitely be children who will stand out! ”

Zhao Zhen played with the wine glass in his hand and said, "I heard that whoever wants to enter the Western Army in Beijing must start as a pawn, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Yannian arched his hand and said: "That's true, now there are only two people in the 50,000 people belonging to the Jingxi Army, who don't start from pawns. One is a general, and the other is a superintendent!

In addition, it is only after a hundred battles to have the current position. Even Su Shi, the disciple of the great marshal, also slept in the two wolf mountain outside Yanmen Pass for half a year to build the fort of the two wolf mountains, and then became the entourage of the great marshal to join the army, but his grade is still centurion. Seeing that the two Weichen still had to march in the army, they still had to practice etiquette. ”

Zhao Zhen laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "It's really the same, doesn't he have half a point of preferential treatment for you royal families?" ”

Zhao Yang looked at the emperor and didn't understand why he said this, thought for a while and said: "The general has a word first, if you want preferential treatment, you can go to the military station to serve as an idle official, whether it is the Tuntian camp under Shuibo Liang Mountain." It is also the heart of the Eagle's Nest. Or the manufacturing office on the edge of Dujiangyan, you can go, there can be preferential treatment, but in the army. There is nothing accommodating.

Wechen has been in the Jingxi Army for four years. Also agree with this military law. The selection of generals of the unified army cannot be sloppy, and the fact that a general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops cannot appear in the western part of the Jingxi army. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the dark faces of Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yang and sighed and said, "It's really hard for you, the royal nobles could have been able to take the horse to Tokyo lightly." But you have gone through hardships and hardships in the army, and you are all good sons of the Zhao family.

As you know, when the death documents of the soldiers in the Jingxi Army were delivered to the table of my family, the chill in my heart rose from the soles of my feet to the top door.

To this day, I still remember the above wording: Yun Zheng, the general of the Western Beijing Army, worshiped at the feet of Mr. Zhao Zhen, the patriarch of the Zhao clan in the capital, your son and nephew Zhao Yong, Zhao Han died in the battle of Yihai in the fourth year of Jiayou, Zhao Yong, Zhao Han's department blocked the Western Xia rout army and did not retreat, creating favorable conditions for the army to encircle and suppress the Han thief Zhang Zhi, when the remains were cleaned up after the war, Zhao Yong created nine places, Zhao Han's body raised eleven arrows in the chest and abdomen, and there was no surpasser in courage.

Yun Zheng only hopes that the heroic soul of the soldier will not be far away to comfort his father and elders, and not be too sad......"

Thinking of Zhao Yong and Zhao Han, Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yang couldn't help crying bitterly, and kowtowed again and again: "Brother Yong'er was originally the most promising figure in my royal family to become the general of the unified army, but in the first battle of the rocky slope, all our army participated in the battle, and the flesh and blood flew on the battlefield, and the arrows were like torrential rain, and the fierce fighting between the two sides was moved.

At that time, there was no one in the Jingxi Army who did not participate in the battle, even the general led the cavalry to charge the battle in person, and it took two days of hard fighting to completely encircle and annihilate Zhang Zhi's department, and the Jingxi Army also lost forty percent of the battle, and almost everyone was wounded......"

Zhao Zhen also had tears in his eyes, patted the dwarf and sighed: "Why did my good son fall so easily......"

Zhao Yang saw that the emperor was sad and hurriedly said: "The general has a saying: No one is safe on the battlefield, and no place is safe. ”

Zhao Zhen calmed down and asked, "Didn't you deliberately send them to death?" ”

Zhao Yannian smiled bitterly: "It is indeed deliberately sent them to the most dangerous place, and it is also what Brother Yong'er asked them to do."

According to the saying in the army, as long as you are talented, you have to send it to the stove for training, then put it on the anvil to temper, and finally have to go through quenching to become a qualified general.

Death counts you as a leeward. As long as they come out alive, the top ones are qualified heroes!

His Majesty said to Weichen and others in the early years that it is necessary to temper a strong army of the royal family, and Weichen and others also did it according to your requirements, over the years, six children of my royal family died on the battlefield, and there were twenty-one who survived, Weichen dared to say that these twenty-one children were more than enough to serve as grassroots officers in the army, but we did not have the backbone, and there was no real person in the Song Dynasty royal family who could really unify the twenty-one children.

Therefore, Weichen has the courage to beg the head of the family to send the best children into the army, and in less than ten years, our royal family's own iron army will be formed. ”

"Ten years?" Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly, then let Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yang retreat, looked at the roof of the military tent and muttered, "Ten years? ”

"Far water can't quench your thirst from near ......"

Zou Tong saw that it was stormy outside the military tent, so he covered Zhao Zhen with a blanket and knelt on the floor to listen to the thunder outside.

The thunder became more and more urgent, one by one more urgent, and when a string of muffled thunder rolled overhead, Zhao Zhen whispered: "After all, you still have to use the method of raising Gu to select generals!"

Zou Tong, the general is here to see me! ”

Yun Zheng broke into the emperor's military tent with a wet and heavy body of steam, and found that the emperor was looking at the storm outside with his hands behind his back, so he stood under the steps with his fists clenched, waiting for the emperor to speak.

The army was stationed at Gao, so they were not worried about any flash floods or anything like that, and the water on the opposite cliff had formed a majestic waterfall, and the water smashed against the boulders with a loud sound.

"Yun Qing, can there be a quick way to do it?"

Yun Zheng's eyes turned around and wanted to get some hints from Zou Tong, but Zou Tong was kneeling on the ground at this time to take care of a small stove and prepare to cook tea, and he couldn't get any hints.

pondered the wording for a while and said: "Pulling out the seedlings and promoting them will only damage the fundamentals, and it is not advisable!" ”

Zhao Zhen said expressionlessly: "I visited the Liao Emperor's leather army, and it is indeed an army that can fight well, so I also want to reorganize the royal guards, what do you think?" Don't take it out if you praise the Japanese army or something. ”

Yun Zheng remembered that the emperor had just summoned Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yang and understood what he meant, so he arched his hand and said: "If the royal family can have an army that can fight well, it is naturally good,

However, Your Majesty cannot compare the newly formed Praetorian Guard Army of our dynasty with the Liao State Leather Room Army, in Wei Chen's opinion, the Leather Room Army is not a strong army.

These days, Weichen gradually collected some military reports of the raid on Yazihe by our Great Song army, and then found that these leather room troops could not effectively protect the Liao Emperor. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "How do you say this? ”

"A rabble of more than 12,000 people was able to escape in a hurry from the Liao Emperor who was forced by the Duck River, if it weren't for Empress Xiao Guanyin blocking the hidden arrow with her body, the Liao Emperor would have already controlled Bintian.

The leather room army looks mighty but in fact has no combat power, 100,000 people encircled and suppressed more than 10,000 people on the ice and paid more than three times the price, although these people will not retreat, as an individual they are qualified, but as an army they are not qualified. ”

"Where is the disqualification?"

"I didn't know how to be vigilant before the war, I couldn't react quickly during the war, and when I was fighting, I only knew how to resist desperately but forgot the military formation that the army should have, and the advance and retreat. If that army came to attack His Majesty at this time, Wei Chen was sure that the battle would end within an hour, and they would not have a chance to attack His Majesty at all. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded in approval, and then asked again: "I am going to build the skeleton of the Praetorian Guard with the imperial family as the backbone, what does Yun Qing think?" ”

"Yes, Weichen thinks that Zhao Yannian, Zhao Yang and others have matured, although they can't be said to be qualified generals, no matter what, the four words of experience in a hundred battles are still right to be used on them, and it is more than enough to help Your Majesty build the skeleton of an army."

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yang both claim to be auxiliary and not the main general, can Yunhou come up with a qualified candidate for me?" ”

"The royal guards can only be the royal family, and Weichen is not very familiar with the children of the royal family, and there are only a dozen people in the Jingxi Army who barely know it.

Zhao Yannian is a delicate person who can see the subtleties, but this person lacks perseverance and perseverance, so he is indeed not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, and it is just right to be appointed as an ordnance officer in the Jingxi Army.

As for Zhao Yang, he also has the same character, such a person is also an excellent candidate for managing grain, so he is now a grain officer in the Jingxi Army, even if it is a big scene like Huimeng, he can deal with the head of the way, but he is a little lacking as the main general. ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed, pointed at Yun Zheng and said, "Could it be that my royal disciples are all people with a character?"

Since you said that the royal children lack the conditions to become the main general, what do you think if you use the method of raising Gu to choose the main general, Aiqing? ”

Listening to the emperor's words, Yun Zheng couldn't laugh, and said word by word: "If you choose a general like that, Your Majesty can only choose poison, and you can't choose a qualified general, if you really choose one, for the long-term consideration of the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty was ready to let Weichen and him duel on the battlefield earlier!"
