Chapter 137: The Old Man's Thoughts

Implement the official position of Gao Favor, everything in the Jingxiang War will be properly arranged, Wang Yan's soldiers and horses also have a formal establishment, the deputy commander of the horse army in front of the palace of the guard doctor and the defense envoy of Jin, Jun and Fang, and Wang Yan has one more post of commander of the horse army in front of the palace, and the number of the unit is the left army of the palace guard horse army, and he belongs to Yang Cunzhong's palace guard horse army. The happiest thing about this matter is that the guards in front of the palace in Yang Cun are all in command, with the addition of Wang Yan and Gao Chong, the strength of the entire palace guards has risen greatly, not to mention, there will be a steady supply of horses in the future, and there is no way if you want to be strong.

The world is changing too fast, and in the past ten years, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty has become a second- or third-rate army like turnip greens, as worthless as turnip greens. What grew up were those private armies, the Han family, the Taiwei army, the Wu family's army, and the Yuejia army, which became the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire Great Song Dynasty still had to rely on these armies to fight. As far as the imperial horse infantry army of the Zhao official family is concerned, it does not have much strength, because of the reason that it rarely fights, although it looks tall and burly, and has the ability to hold a strong bow, but when it really fights, I don't know how strong it is.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Cunzhong, the commander of the imperial horse infantry army and the top boss of Gao Pet, picked out some gifts to visit Gao Bailian, the old man of Gao Pet, which was considered to be closer to each other, and asked about military horses.

The old man is worried about this, he is annoyed by such a big thing, he doesn't know at all, it's no wonder that Gao Chong, this era is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, it is really not easy, Gao Chong didn't want to let people know too much about this matter at that time, but he didn't expect that Wang Yan in order to give Gao Chong a better birth, all this side was written into the fold together with Gao Pet's Jingxiang Battle Plan.

Fortunately, the old father and son were clever, remembering what Gao Hong had told him in Xingqingcheng in Western Xia about recruiting the Great Song Dynasty Righteous Army and the Old Song Dynasty people, so he played a round in front of Zhao Gou, otherwise the consequences are really hard to say.

Of course, Zhao Gou will also send someone to investigate this matter.

The ancestors of the Gao family had ancestral precepts, requiring the people of the Gao family to follow the text as much as possible and lead fewer soldiers, so as not to touch the taboo of the Zhao family's royal family. Military generals like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong who have no foundation are not very dangerous to the royal family, and the big threat is this kind of military generals, this kind of family has deep roots, and it is difficult for the royal family to control. It is said that in the seventh year of Shaoxing (1137) when Liu Guangshi was dismissed in history, Zhang Jun in order to clean up Liu Guangshi's power in the imperial patrol army, because there were too many people to cleanse and love to a great resistance, Zhang Jun wanted to secretly kill Li Qiong and others for the deputy capital, but he didn't think that the matter was not confidential, and was known by Li Qiong and others, and the famous "Huaixi Mutiny" broke out. That's the power of this and the Maison. Although Liu Guangshi has cleared his involvement, if it is not for his nod, can it be done?

Therefore, the military generals led the troops, and the emperor was very vigilant. This is also the main reason why the ancestors of the Gao family let their children and grandchildren change jobs.

Even if Gao's favored father was in Yanmen Pass and fought with soldiers, it was a meager resistance of a group of second- and third-rate troops led in the name of a Zhizhou, and it was also because of the pride of the Gao family as a family of military generals that they fought hard. Not a real leader.

Transferred to civilian positions, for more than two hundred years, the Great Song Dynasty has always had civilian officials lead troops, but did the officials let these civilians of the Gao family do the main positions in the army? didn't know because the Zhao family knew that although the Gao family was a civilian, he was still a military general in his bones.

Therefore, the official family asked Gao Pet to be a military general, whether to do it or not, Gao Bailan has not thought about it yet, he still has to discuss it after returning home, the most important thing is to listen to the thoughts of this demon-like grandson, what is his purpose. Fortunately, the official is not big now, but his investment in such a force is too great, and the official family uses such a false title to get a well-equipped army?

Hearing that Yang Cunzhong was commanded by the imperial horse infantry, Old Man Gao guessed his intentions. His grandson's team was worth millions of horses alone. People can not be unsatisfied.

"Lord Yang, the old man is late, so I've kept you waiting." The old father and son came out, and Yang Cun Zhongtian was drinking tea and waiting in the living room.

"Lord Gao, congratulations to Lord Yang first, your good grandson is now the deputy commander of the Imperial Horse Army, and the official family has assigned him to the subordinate of this official, from today onwards, we are our own people, so let's walk around."

"My lord, you are a Shangguan, you should come to visit us to pay respects, and you can't afford to come over."

Old Man Gao has known it for a long time, but this Yang Cunzhong, a first-class official, the emperor's close general, the commander of the imperial horse infantry army, and the envoy of the Privy Council, is really rare to be able to personally run to the home of a subordinate, and it also shows that Yang Cunzhong is a true temperament.

"What can I do, I heard that your grandson is only fifteen years old, but at such a young age, he went to search for his father's lost subordinates and the children of the Gao family, and was able to do such a satisfactory job, it is really not simple, even if I go, I may not be able to do so well. I heard that it was assigned to my name, and the dissatisfied brother said, I am really happier than anything else, so as soon as I leave the palace, I will come over, and tell you the news first, let's have fun together! ”

Both of them have been following Gaozong Zhao Gou, after several ups and downs, they have been together for seven or eight years, Yang Cunzhong is straightforward, because he is the commander of the imperial horse infantry and rarely communicates with the Beijing officials, if he is affectionate, something will happen, so although Yang Cunzhong is bold and good to socialize, he has been deliberately restrained, so this position is also very stable, it stands to reason that the three armies in front of the palace, the horse army in front of the palace, the infantry army in front of the palace, and the direct servant of the palace should not be managed by one person, but now Zhao Gou trusts him, so he is also the commander of the three armies. Of course, it is also related to the small scale of the current three armed forces.

And Gao Bailan has a relatively mild temperament, and he does not participate in the two factions of the eagle and pigeon, but only takes care of his salt tax, which is not easy to manage during this war, and it is difficult to collect. And there are many places where the imperial court uses money, especially now that it is fighting, it is a big money-eater, and it is no longer a bottomless pit that can no longer be filled, Zhao Gou wants to sit firmly on his dragon court, and he can't do without such an experienced official for a while, so many officials who have come back from the north are now living at home, and they have not resigned from this old man, besides, Gao Bailan made a meritorious contribution to the ground observation of the Western Xia at the end of last year, and it is impossible for him to be fired for a while. Old man Gao wants to stop doing it himself, but it still can't be done at this time, if Old Man Gao is not there at such a young age, I don't know when those people will be turned over.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, let's drink together here in Xiaguan at night, everyone should be close and close!" Old man Gao said.

Since the matter of Gao Pet's military service has become a fact, although the changes in the future are not clear, but from the face of it, it is certainly worth being happy, after all, his grandson is only fifteen years old, and he can achieve the fifth grade before he is an adult, and enter the ranks of senior officers, how many years will others struggle? Even if it is Yue Fei, who is promoted to an official like riding a rocket, born and died, how many battles do you have to fight! It was only last year that he became a senior general, and when he heard Yang Cunzhong's true temperament, Old Man Gao also swept away a trace of depression in his heart.

"Good! Today I'm going to get drunk with you. Yang said cheerfully.
