On June 16 of the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124 AD), with the arrival of the new deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Zhi Yanzhi and the two generals of the Seed Master Dao, in order to completely carry out the military restructuring, a special military meeting was held in the Zichen Palace, attended by the ruling and privy council envoy Cai Mao, the Taiwei and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Tong Guan, Zhe Yanzhi, the seed master Dao and Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun, who were called into the Beijing division to train the Beijing division forbidden army last time. In addition, Chen Guihe, who was previously summoned to the Beijing Division Ordnance Supervision to be responsible for the development of firearms, followed Tong Guan to the south to quell the Fangla rebellion, the deputy general eunuch Tan Zhi and others.

Everyone has never been so excited today, since the opening of the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court has always been heavy on literature and light on martial arts, it is really Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty, all of whom are scholars, compared with the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the social atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty has undergone a fundamental transformation, and the outstanding talents of the society are no longer willing or take the initiative to enter the military camp, and the Wenchen is even more reluctant to change the military position. This point has already begun to emerge in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty during the Song Taizu Dynasty. At that time, Song Taizu planned to let Xin Zhongfu, a rather martial minister, change his military position, and Xin Zhongfu went home to tell his mother the emperor's intentions, but his mother strongly opposed it. Chen Yao, the champion of the Zhenzong Dynasty, was a skilled archer, but he preferred to serve as a lower-ranking civil official than to hold a higher-ranking military position. Even Fan Zhongyan, who was worried about the country and the people and had the world in mind, during the critical period of the war with the Western Xia, in order to encourage military affairs, the imperial court ordered him to be reappointed as a senior military observer together with Wenchen Han Qi, Pang Ji, and Wang Yan, but after Fan Zhongyan and others received the appointment, they wrote a letter and resolutely resigned. He Qufei, who was known for his military strategy and wrote military books such as "Dr. He's Preparations", "Sima Fa's Lectures" and "Three Brief Lectures", did not want to become a famous military strategist, but to do everything possible to change his military status to a civil minister. It can be seen that under the deliberate promotion of the emperors of previous dynasties, the idea of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force has become a common value in the society of the Great Song Dynasty.

More importantly, under various systems and policies to suppress military personnel, the gap between civil servants and military generals has widened, and the social atmosphere has undergone tremendous changes. People regard being a soldier as a lowly profession, officials are reluctant to engage in military duties, civil servants despise military generals, and military merits are not given due attention and recognition. The military generals also took the initiative to degrade their own image, deliberately moved closer to the literati, and finally lost the blood that a soldier should have. Although the Song Dynasty no longer had a situation of warlords separating the country and martial artists interfering in politics, a group of talented generals were suppressed and persecuted, and they could not truly display their ambitions and realize their values. Today, a special military meeting was held in the Zichen Palace, and they were all military generals, without the interference and participation of civilian officials, which shows that the new emperor attaches great importance to military generals, and adds two deputy military generals to the Privy Council, the highest military command organ of the imperial court, all of which is to send out to the outside world the importance of the imperial court to military generals and military affairs.

In order to completely dispel the concerns of these generals and military attachés, after they all saluted, I first said: All Aiqing, as the so-called draft does not forget to dig wells, the Great Song Dynasty is inseparable from the strong support of the five major generals, among which the most prominent military generals are Cao Jiajiang, under the influence of Cao Bin, the first generation of the founding general Cao Bin, six of his seven sons are military generals, among which Cao Can, Cao Wei is the most famous, and has made great achievements. The representative figure in the third generation of the Cao family is Cao Tong, who was the official to the Jiedu envoy and the Pingzhang of the Tongzhong Shumen, and was named the king of Jiyang County. In the fourth generation, Cao Ping served as the deputy commander of the Ma Army, and Cao Lu was also an official to the Ande Army Festival and managed the Ma Bu Army of the Forbidden Army. Most of these generals of the Cao family were in charge of the forbidden army and served as festival envoys.

There is also the Yang general, Yang Ye is the first generation of the Yang general, he was originally a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and later returned to the Great Song Dynasty. Yang Ye fought bravely and was known as Yang Invincible. In 980, Yang Ye broke the Liao army in the Battle of Yanmen Pass and shocked the Khitan. Because of Yang Ye's outstanding military exploits, coupled with his status as a general, it has aroused the jealousy of some people. In 986, Yang Ye defeated the Chen family and was martyred for the country. The second generation of the Yang family general is Yang Yanzhao, who inherited his father's business, continued to guard the north, resisted the invasion of the Liao army, and made a lot of military achievements. Then Yang Wenguang first fought against Western Xia in the northwest, won the respect of Fan Zhongyan, and later followed Di Qing to fight against the rebellion of Nong Zhigao in the south. Yang Wenguang was the deputy head of Dingzhou Road.

Then there is the Gao general, the first generation of the Gao family general is Gao Qiong, although he is not the founder of the Great Song Dynasty, but he is a close minister of Emperor Taizong, so he has risen quickly in the officialdom. In the battle of the Gaoliang River, the first person to catch up with the escort was Gao Qiong. After that, Gao Qiong held important military positions for a long time. After Zhenzong ascended the throne, Gao Qiong became the supreme general of the forbidden army, and together with Kou Zhun, he urged Zhenzong to conquer in person, and finally reached the alliance of Lanyuan. The second generation of Gao generals are all military generals, the most famous of which is Gao Jixun, who quelled the rebellion in Sichuan, broke the Khitan in the north, and expected the enemy to be like a god, and won many battles. The third generation of Gao Jiajiang is Gao Zunyu. According to statistics, the five generations of the Gao family and seven people were crowned kings, and it was the prominent family of the Great Song Dynasty.

There is also the general of the Zheyan family in the palace, although the Zhe family is not a Han person, it is a party member, but they live in Fuzhou, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, they have been loyal to the Central Plains Dynasty. Since the Zhe family will fight against the Northern Han and Liao states all the year round, Taizu granted the Zhe family the privilege of hereditary governor of Fuzhou. The first generation of the generals is Zhen Dewa, the representative of the second generation is Zhen Yuxun, Zhen Yuqing, the third generation is Zhen Weizheng, Zhen Weichang, Zhen Wei Zhong, and the fourth generation is Zhen Jixuan, Zhen Jimin, Zhen Jizu, and Zhen Jishi. The fifth generation is folding, and the sixth generation is folding, folding, and seeking. The above characters are all famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty, who have been active in the front line of the war for a long time, in addition to dealing with Liao, but also against Western Xia, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. Since Ruan went down, he has been a famous general, loyal and loyal, enough to defend the northwest, and he can be said to be worthy of the Song Dynasty. In addition, Zhe Deran's daughter is Yang Ye's wife, the famous She Taijun.

The last is the old general's family general, the family will rise in the process of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, the first generation of the character is a kind of Shiheng, he has been on the side for several years, accumulating grain currency, so he does not bother the county officials, the soldiers are paid, and the soldiers are good at soothing the soldiers, and they can get people's death. Chong Shiheng's three sons, Chonggu, Chongge, and Chongdiag, are all famous generals, known as three kinds. The third generation of the seed generals is the seed master Dao and the seed master, and their two brothers are still guarding the frontier for my Great Song Dynasty. Since the breeders will fight against the Western Xia all the year round, they led the Western Army, the most elite unit of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the support of many military generals such as the above-mentioned five generals that there is today's prosperous and rich Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court has not forgotten their exploits, I have always remembered their contributions, and hundreds of millions of people in the world have always remembered their fearless spirit of dedication to the country, and history has not forgotten their heroic dedication. Although after Taizu's cup of wine released the military power, the military generals did not get the attention of the imperial court, today I will tell you that this is caused by historical reasons, due to the initial decision of the world, the imperial court is more concerned about how to develop the people's livelihood, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life. So the generals were temporarily wronged, but the court did not forget them, and still let the exploits of these generals sprout to their children and grandchildren, so that they can enjoy the favor of the court for generations.

But today, the wheel of history has been reincarnated, and now the Great Liao Kingdom, which has lived peacefully with us for hundreds of years, has been annexed by the Jin State, and the Jin people are eyeing our Great Song Dynasty in the north, and the Western Xia in the west is also under the influence of the Jin people, and it has not been very peaceful recently. Therefore, at present, the Great Song Dynasty is facing a threat to border security, and this is the moment when you need to wait for military generals to serve the country!

The generals were all red-eyed when they heard this, especially the Zhiyan and the Seed Master Dao were full of tears, how much of the suppression was completely released at this time, and these hot-blooded generals who guarded the frontier for the country really reached the moment of raising their eyebrows at this time, especially their ancestors and the emperor have always remembered it, how can this not be moving. Their hearts have long belonged to the hot land of the Great Song Dynasty, and they have long been looking forward to the arrival of this day, so they have waited until the year of the sixtieth year...... The four young generals also clenched their fists at this time, determined to follow the example of the five major generals who founded the country and make contributions to the Great Song Dynasty. Tong Guan and Tan Zhi have always been the main fighting factions of the imperial court, although they are eunuchs, but only by riding horses and galloping on the battlefield can they truly find the sense of conquest and value of men. As a developer of firearms, Chen Gui is also very excited, only the imperial court attaches importance to armaments, in order to give full play to the advantages of firearms to the best performance, and he loves this cause very much, it is simply his life.

Tong Guan saluted at this time and said: Emperor Qi, the old minister has not been so excited for a long time, although the lower officials are not talented, but most of their lives have been spent in the military camp, so they have a little understanding of the military affairs of the imperial court, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is vast, and the soldiers are brave, especially in the bitter cold land of the northwest, and the border guards have been defending the frontier for the country without regrets for many years. Their bloody dedication is also very worthy of recognition, although the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army in Beijing is worrying, it is only because they have not experienced the baptism and tempering of war for hundreds of years, and have not experienced the cruel test and bloodshed of war. That's why the current training is insufficient and the armament is lax, and the emperor is invited to give him a chance.

Immediately, Tan Zhi and others also echoed Tong Guan's words, seeing that Tong Guan mentioned the combat effectiveness of the Beijing Forbidden Army, I also knew that he was telling the truth, which was very realistic and very realistic, but I was still deeply worried about this kind of cavalry that couldn't even ride a horse. He moved his gaze to Yue Fei and the other four generals, after all, they have been training the upper four armies of the Beijing Division now, and asked: General Yue, General Han, General Liu, General Zhang, what do you think?

Yue Fei immediately saluted and said: Xia Guan was favored and promoted by the emperor, and joined the "Upper Fourth Army" Tianwu Army as a trainee Du Yu Hou, mainly responsible for his daily physical training, basic step training, basic bow and arrow, horizontal knife formation training, etc., but Xia Guan found that the soldiers in the army generally rejected their training, and the formation of basic steps, bows and arrows, and horizontal knives was even more relaxed, and some of them knew nothing, and even more had been in the army for many years, and they didn't know what the above basic training was. It stands to reason that the "Fourth Army" is the elite unit of the forbidden army, and I can't imagine that military discipline is so lax and training is so scarce, which really makes the subordinate officials puzzled?
