Chapter 12 Chasing Dramas
A meeting broke up in an eerie atmosphere.
The big guys looked at the youngest face and couldn't help but show a trace of awe, but the ending did not change.
With Shen Qi's stubbornness, although he was banned for a while, he still fought firmly.
Because he doesn't think it's wrong to go to war.
It's just that this civilian official, who can't control Jiaozhi and wreaks havoc on the border, has forgotten that Guangxi's current combat effectiveness is not satisfactory.
Long before the discussion, Huang Shang had visited the barracks.
The soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty are divided into the forbidden army and the box army, at the beginning of the founding of the country, a large number of soldiers were raised, and the soldiers did not have a retirement system, and when they arrived at Zhao Er, the soldiers were old and strong, and they were not like it, Zhao Guangyi then selected young and strong people from them to form an elite division, called the forbidden army, and the rest were called the box army.
Therefore, the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty was not only the army guarding the capital, but also the forbidden army stationed in many local state capitals, especially at the border.
In the whole of Guangxi, twenty-seven battalions of forbidden troops were stationed to rescue Duan Yanqing, and they must have been sent.
The normal number of soldiers in each battalion is 500, and the full battle is not more than 13,000 people.
Already feeling less?
No, it's much less.
Shangguan has always been unable to see the real situation, and Huang Shang has not been able to contact it, but someone can.
When he returned to the mansion, there were already two people waiting for a long time, and the first one was burly and heroic, it was You Shixiong, who was under Zhang Zaimen and Huang Shang.
Huang Shang showed joy: "Uncle Jing is finally here!" ”
When they met at the same door, You Shixiong was also very happy, and even joked: "The lower officials can't afford it!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Historically, after You Shixiong was admitted to the Jinshi this year, he awarded Yizhou Sihu to join the army.
Yizhou is the part of Pingliang City, Gansu Province in later generations, and he went to work there, but he happened to help Zhang Zai with each other.
After eight years of promotion, You Shixiong served as the judge of Qinfeng Lu Deshun Army, discussed border affairs with the generals, and made many achievements, so that the border was safe.
Later, the imperial court discussed the abandonment of the border four villages, and You Shixiong strongly advocated sticking to it, but the opinion was not adopted, so that the Western Xia had to gain an inch, and there was no peace on the border.
Before Huang Shang came to Guangxi, he made a statement to Zhao Shu that He Shixiong would be transferred to the Yongzhou military judge, and he would use his hand to rectify military affairs and check the vacancies.
Not only him, but when Huang Shang entered the main hall, he also saw the seed master getting up and saluting with a smile.
The breeder attaches great importance to this three-yuan leader, and the seed master has no fame, so he is temporarily a staff member.
Zhang Zaimen went down the iron triangle and gathered in Guangxi to do a great job.
"There are only 5,000 people left in the forbidden army on Quang Nam West Road? How serious is the deficit? ”
The three of them took their seats, and when You Shixiong and Seed Master Dao revealed the situation of the secret investigation, Huang Shang was taken aback.
You Shixiong had actually left a long time ago, and the reason why he came to see Huang Shang now was to investigate the real situation of Guangxi's troops.
In today's Great Song Dynasty, it has become extremely common for the army to eat empty salaries and drink soldiers' blood.
Full of compilation, these four words are a joke.
Huang Shang's hometown, many states on Jinghu South Road, eat empty salaries up to 50%.
That's exaggerated enough, and Guangnan West Road has reached an absurd level, some battalions even have less than 200 people, and the empty salary has reached 70%!
If the northerners are stationed here, when they go back, the ten forbidden soldiers often can't go back half, so the forbidden army is afraid of the two wide like tigers, and when they arrive in the Jinghu area, they are seriously ill and find a nearby state and county to recuperate." ”
Huang Shang asked: "What's the matter?" ”
You Shixiong smiled bitterly: "The princes of the court probably know, but this kind of thing has to be passed, and it is difficult for anyone to handle it." ”
Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and You Shixiong's qualifications are still shallow, so it was not easy to transfer this one, but it is precisely because this is Guangxi that it can be arranged.
Other places in the Great Song Dynasty were redundant, and the number of officials was extremely bloated, and when they arrived in Liangguang Lingnan, no one wanted to come, especially the promising Jinshi.
Since it was said that military strength was up, Huang Shang took the opportunity to ask for advice.
You Shixiong has been studying for many years, and he can come into contact with a lot of news.
At this time, one by one, Huang Shang knew how exaggerated the erosion of the Great Song army was.
Decades ago, looking at the strength of an army, you could intuitively reflect it from the number of people.
The more elite the troops, the smaller the proportion of vacancies.
If it is a strong general, there is basically only one percent, that is, there are about 450 people in a battalion.
Beyond this number, there is only the Fourth Army of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo.
But now, it's useless to look at the number of people, after decades of no war, the forbidden army in Beijing has rotted.
That's really rotten, not unadaptable.
"Now the Great Song Dynasty is known as one million, but the elites who are really worthy of the war are roughly only more than 200,000, and the most elite in Shaanxi!"
When Huang Shang calculated this, he only felt shocked, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Not only cowardly, but also weak.
If you don't change, you are waiting for death.
Fortunately, the Western Xia of the Liao State is not good now, and the situation of all countries in the world is not stronger than whom, but weaker than whom.
When the foreign enemy is strong, such as the Jurchen rising, when everyone is finished.
Huang Shang knew that this problem had to be taken slowly.
"Changing the law is essential, but Wang Anshi is too idealistic, I have to adjust the check!"
Huang Shang had an idea in his heart.
When the first batch of reincarnators leaves, the excess time of more than twenty years can just be used to strengthen the Great Song Dynasty.
Many people from the Southern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty adopted a critical attitude towards Wang Anshi's change of law, believing that Wang Anshi changed the law of his ancestors, brought disaster to the country and the people, and wanted to take the blame for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.
When Huang Shang did not come to this dynasty, he really didn't know who was right and who was wrong.
But as far as we can see, the Northern Song Dynasty is to blame.
Wang Anshi is an idealist, many changes are indeed ahead of his time, some are unrealistic, and he is eager for quick success, but it is in line with the sentence -
The step is too big, and it pulls the egg.
But if it is said that the Northern Song Dynasty fell because of his changes, then it can be pulled down!
The current situation in the Northern Song Dynasty is roughly that a person is seriously ill in his body, and he looks fat, but in fact, he is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and there are a few villains around him who are holding knives and want to cut you, although they are different in height, short, fat and thin, they are all threats.
In this case, you are still counting on going on in a muddy nightmare, and you don't want to change, if you don't lose the country, who will lose the country?
This is not alarmist, and the high-level leaders of Guangxi, who are full of interest to quell the chaos in Dali and make military achievements, ushered in a thunderbolt from the sky the next day.
They sent ten battalions of forbidden troops to the border of Luodian, broke the rebels, and welcomed the prince, but the result was ......
Fiasco.
Without even seeing Duan Yanqing's face, thousands of forbidden troops were divided and severely damaged by the Dali rebels who had already been ambushed, and they fled.
The commander of the forbidden army killed several people on the spot, and Shen Qi, who led the troops, fought his way out of the encirclement under the desperate efforts of the left and right, led the remnants of the army to defeat the generals, and fled back to Guangxi.
At the border of Yongzhou, Huang Shang came to answer, looking at Shen Qi, who was covered in blood, his brows moved slightly.
There is something wrong with this No. 2 person in Guangxi who escaped back!
……
……
Dali domestic.
"Hurry up! There's no replay here, so you can't miss it! ”
Xia Hui cut the melon from the Western Regions and handed it to the Taoist priest.
"Hmmm, sweet!"
The Taoist priest took it and took a bite very elegantly, but his eyes did not leave the mirror.
They are also completing their tasks and earning rewards, but the reincarnator also has to have a rest time, and it is impossible to keep a tendon on the ground, otherwise the person would have collapsed long ago.
So in their spare time, the two sat in front of the mirror and watched this large-scale costume drama that integrates fantasy, horror, thriller, suspense, ethics, and hilarious elements, and has no urine spots throughout the whole process - "A Thousand Thoughts of the Wise"!
Now catch up to the third episode!
