Chapter 59: Yangzhou Military Conference (II)

Zhao Jiaren thought that he would only need to hold a meeting for seven or eight days in Yangzhou, but he didn't expect that this meeting would be held for half a month. There were six or seven days of discussion on military content, and the rest of the time was when Zhao Jiaren gave the two thousand people a society education.

At the end of the 20th century, American culture was still very progressive. At that time, there was a sitcom called "Growing Pains", which was not only popular in the United States, but also had a high reputation in many countries, including China. Zhao Jiaren discovered that everyone in the new Song army had growing pains.

If you want to rely on Zhao Jiaren's strength to solve everyone's doubts, it is obviously impossible from a practical point of view, and if it is forcibly instilled, it will be made into a religious thing intentionally or unintentionally. Zhao Jiaren had to ask everyone to wait a little longer in this regard. Focus on the westward crusade. After all, there are too many compatriots of the Great Song Dynasty who are suffering under the ravages of the enemy, waiting for the children of the Great Song Dynasty to be liberated.

Of course, the soldiers are not simply able to go out to fight. Li Yun is not the only division commander who has performed well, every division commander hopes that he can show his talents, and five of them are very eye-catching. Li Yun's pikemen as the final blow to destroy the enemy, Xu Yonghui and his chief of staff's combat training, Zheng Jie's use of artillery, Hong Songchen's queue transfer, and a division commander named Yeluming in drawing and marching planning.

Yelu is the surname of the Liao State, and if Zhao Jiaren was reincarnated in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty instead of the late Southern Song Dynasty, he would have to fight a brutal war with the Yelu family with a firm attitude. However, time has passed, and now the Yelu clan has defected to the Zhao clan and is engaged in an endless battle with the Xiao'er Jin. In the political review report, this Yeluming has no interest in restoring Daliao. He even thought that Yelu was a very normal Han surname.

After gathering the basic plate first, Zhao Jiaren set up five bureaus, and made a de facto privy council with these five bureaus as the core. A joint operation was carried out from the concept of warfare, tactics, combat training, mapping, and staff officers. More than 2,000 people, in addition to the actual Privy Council personnel, were organized into two battalions of teaching regiments, and a complete set of training regiments were conducted.

Just because every step is good doesn't mean it's all good together. Artillerymen, musketeers, pikemen, all want to fight with themselves at their core. The purpose of Zhao Jiaren's convening of the military meeting was to pinch the army into an organic whole, not to let this group of bastard boys compete for the limelight. Even if the original plan was disrupted, Zhao Jiaren continued to sit in Yangzhou to continue his military work.

Another month passed, and on the tenth day of April, Zhao Jiaren found himself facing an even more ridiculous result. After a lot of study, a young battalion commander named Wangui was the first to figure out that these division commanders were right, but the division commanders thought that they could solve all the problems with the war skills they were proficient in.

Of course, Zhao Jiaren believes that these division commanders may not understand the truth of learning. But they care too much about the status of 'dominant'. For young people, this breath is not so easy to swallow.

What's more interesting is that although the report of the battalion commander Wan stated that he was Han, Zhao Jiaren knew that the battalion commander from Huaixi was a descendant of the Wanyan family. Knowing this person's background, Zhao Jiaren is not without mustard in his heart. In any case, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State had a deep hatred. If Zhao Jiaren returned to the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, he would definitely do his best to kill the Jin people.

But looking at the report of the young man who defected to Zhao Jiaren's subordinates when Zhao Jiaren was assisting Xiangyang, as well as the beautiful array diagram of the queue to be shot, as well as some calculation formulas, Zhao Jiaren felt that he was sorry for his talent. After completing the return, he joined the rebel army that aided Xiangyang, and later switched to Zhao Jiaren's subordinates. There is no problem with his resume, so he can be promoted to battalion commander.

Sighing, Zhao Jiaren asked people to call him back. Waiting for the young man to sit down expectantly, Zhao Jiaren sighed: "It's a good name." But wouldn't it be better if it was called Perfection? ”

When he heard this, his face turned a little pale. Despite this, he hesitated and asked, "Why did the captain say this?" ”

"A dignified man, don't you even dare to talk about the name of your ancestor?" Zhao Jiaren said calmly. He didn't say the reason not because he wanted to pretend to be profound, but because he couldn't tell it. In the 21st century, Zhao Jiaren heard about something that happened in Anhui, when New China was engaged in ethnic division, a certain leader in Anhui divided the descendants of the Wanyan family in Anhui into Manchus. This kind of incident of Zhang Fei beating Yue Fei fully proves how unreliable the bureaucrats are. If the ancestors of the Wanyan family knew about it, they would definitely be surprised when the Jurchens and the Sigutong savages became a clan.

The battalion commander was silent. It can be seen that the young man is under so much pressure that he cannot even speak. Just when Zhao Jiaren thought that the young man was crushed by the pressure, Wan Gui raised his head, "Taiwei, you said that everyone has their own motherland, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Jiaren bluntly agreed.

"I was born and grew up in the Great Song Dynasty. I am a Song person, and the Great Song Dynasty is my motherland. It's my father who wants to return to China, and it has nothing to do with me. In the future, my children and grandchildren will be Song people like me. When he finished speaking, he was quite excited, and he could see that the boy wanted to say something better. However, the education he received was not enough, and he could only say such simple words.

"Hah!" Zhao Jiaren smiled. It's not a mockery, it's a laugh mixed with surprise and sympathy. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia jointly destroyed Jin, and the fall of the Jin State was only Mongolia's policy that everyone in the Jin Kingdom could be pardoned, but Wanyan Yi's clan was not pardoned. At that time, the Wanyan family was really desperate, and the clansmen who barely escaped could only change their surnames and flee to the Song Kingdom for refuge.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jiaren's heart softened. The enemy of the Great Song Dynasty was the Jin State, not the Wanyan family. If only the members of the Wanyan family fought against the Great Song Dynasty, they would have died a long time ago. Now that the Jin Kingdom has been completely destroyed, and more importantly, he has already admitted that he is no longer a Jin person after the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, so let the past sleep under the dust of history.

"There's something else that called you here. I'm going to do another battle exercise. Prepare for you to be the battalion commander of a battalion, according to the regulations, the staff officer will be chosen by you. Would you like to take on the job? Zhao Jiaren began to move on to the next work.

It's over, and I'm all stunned. His emotions were still in the panic of being exposed, and he didn't expect a great good thing to fall directly on his head. The gap was so great that he didn't know if he had heard it wrong just now, or if he had heard it wrong now.

Zhao Jiaren had to be appeased, "If you are telling the truth, if anyone says that you are a golden person in the future, you will let him come to me." As for you, do what the Song people should do now. Got it? ”

Zhao Taiwei's magnanimity made him cover his mouth and cry, and it was not until his face was full of tears that he felt that his emotions had been relieved. Wiping his tears with his sleeve, he raised his hand in salute and replied in a dull voice when he blocked his nose: "Resolutely complete the order!" ”

Three days later, the exercise began, and the battalion under command won a great victory.

On April 20, the third year of the Republic, Zhao Jiaren ordered the completion of the return to take over the four battalions of troops, and attacked in Jiangbei, with the goal of Anqing. Zhao Jiaren himself went to Songjiang Mansion. At this time, Wen Tianxiang, the governor of Songjiang Prefecture, had already taken office, and Zhao Jiaren had to go to see how the prefect performed in the important spring ploughing.
