Zhao Hong raised his head and carefully observed everyone. All of them were forty or fifty years old, tall, short, fat and thin, most of them were dark and strong, but there were also fair-skinned and fat people.

"You ......"

"Your Majesty, Zheng Xincheng, the last general of the Chinese army, see Your Majesty!"

With sweat streaming down his face, Zheng Xincheng, the commander of the Chinese army, who puffed up his chest, hurriedly returned.

Zhao Hong looked carefully at the twists and turns in front of him, and only raised his head for a moment, frowning at the round fair-skinned fat man in front of him.

"Zheng Xincheng, you look so round and fat, you have to breathe when you take two steps. Can you still go to war? ”

Fortunately, Fan Zhong's careful marking gave him a general understanding of the generals in Sichuan.

There are many drawbacks in civilian military command, and the same is true for military generals. It seems that the commanders of the army cannot be limited to the one-sided distinction between "civil and military".

"Your Majesty, there is no problem for the minister to go to the battlefield!"

Zheng Xincheng was full of smiles, his heart was empty, and he didn't forget to secretly wipe a handful of sweat.

"Go, bring a horse over, you can show me how to ride a horse and shoot an arrow first!"

Zhao Hong whispered, and the sergeant at the door ran out, Zheng Xincheng forced a smile on his face, and secretly complained in his heart.

If he says that he can't ride now, wouldn't it be a crime of deception?

"You, former military commander Li Ronghua. Are you so white and tender, have you ever been on the battlefield? Do you know how to ride and shoot? ”

Zhao Hong ignored the pale-faced Chinese commander Zheng Xincheng, and looked at the next white and tender commander Li Ronghua, who didn't even have a saber around his waist, and was still dressed as a civilian official with wide robes and big sleeves.

is about to go into battle to kill the enemy, there is no armor, the scribe is dressed, he has no long things, and he has a good demeanor, is he really a famous general who is strategizing?

"Your Majesty, the minister is a civil official, he can ride a horse, but he can't shoot arrows. Never been on the battlefield. ”

Li Ronghua is a bachelor, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Cui Qing, call the deputy commanders and deputy commanders of the Chinese army and the former army!"

Zhao Hong no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered.

The war horse was brought in, and Zheng Xincheng, the commander of the Chinese army, climbed up with great difficulty, and fell off the horse after running a hundred and ten steps, covered with dust, lying on the ground humming and chirping. The sergeants stepped forward and helped Zheng Xincheng up

Zhao Hong glanced at Cui He, who was very embarrassed and red.

Failing to pass the assessment in front of the emperor is a loss of face.

"Take him down to heal. Don't come back! ”

Cui couldn't help but say something, waved his hand in disgust, and the sergeant hurriedly helped the disgraced Zheng Xincheng away.

"See Your Majesty!"

Several generals came in and saluted Zhao Hong together.

"Your Majesty, this is the deputy commander of the Chinese army, and the commander Huang Daxi."

Cui He hurriedly introduced it on the side.

Zhong Yi, the deputy commander of the Chinese army, and Huang Daxi, the commander, were ignorant and didn't know what the emperor was going to do.

"Huang Daxi, tell me about your resume."

Zhao Hong looked at the two of them and stopped at the swarthy and fierce Huang Daxi.

After coming to Sichuan, Fan Zhong, the general commander, and Zhang Jin, the director of the anti-corruption department, had already explained to him the situation of the generals, and he probably knew the situation of the generals.

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general is forty-two years old this year, Jiading has been in the army for three years, from an ordinary sergeant all the way to the commander of Chengdu Fulu, participated in the Battle of Song and Jin, the Battle of Annihilation of the rebel Zhang Fu, Lianxia Attack Jin, dozens of battles of all sizes, I can't remember clearly."

Huang Daxi said it in 1510.

"Huang Daxi, I now appoint you as the commander of the Chinese army in my army, and together with the deputy commander Zhong Yi, you will control the Chinese army. Do you have something to say? ”

Zhao Hong immediately made a decision.

"The last general, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

"The last will obey!"

Huang Daxi's face was red, and together with his uncertain love, he bowed to Zhao Hongsu.

This incompetent boss was finally taken down by the emperor.

"Wen Zhongxiao, the former deputy commander of the army, and Li Bo, the commander, have seen Your Majesty!"

The two generals of the former army were also swarthy and fierce, and they knelt down on one knee and saluted together.

"Wen Zhongxiao, the deputy commander of the former army, Li Bo, the commander of the former army, and I will appoint you two to be the former army commander and the former army deputy commander, so let's discuss the matter in the camp. Li Ronghua, you are a civilian official, or you are a money and food officer in the army! ”

Wen Zhongxiao, Li Bo, and Li Ronghua all saluted.

Unlike Wen Zhongxiao and Li Bo, who were ecstatic, Li Ronghua was a little disappointed, but he was also relieved.

Let him, a literati, take up a military position, and he is really worried that he will not be able to do it.

Especially when he wanted to go to the border to deal with the invincible Mongol army, he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Now it's good to finally let this hot potato out.

The generals were in place, and Cui He wanted to explain something, but Zhao Hong shook his head slightly.

For this old minister, he still trusts.

The world is not chaotic, and the world has been peaceful.

Sichuan is located in the southwest corner, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with a unique strategic location, and has always been a battleground for soldiers. The Sichuan Basin is the country of abundance, the granary of the world, and is rich in products. But that's not fundamental. Sichuan people are outstanding and spiritual, not to mention, the people are fierce, the people are hard-working, and the world's elite soldiers are out of the place.

And the Sichuan officials and soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the warriors of the world in Shu are out of the place, this is the most important thing!

Zhao Hong waved his hand, and the sergeants lifted the sand table in Shukou, and the rivers, mountains, and dangerous fortresses above were clear at a glance.

The generals' eyes lit up, and they were all secretly surprised. The emperor was militarily aggressive, but everything was meticulous and the preparation was extremely good.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tatar army has already used troops against my Great Song Dynasty, and I still say that those who offend my Great Song Dynasty will be punished even if they are strong. If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone; If anyone sins against me, I will offend. ”

Zhao Hong pointed to the sand table, extending to the north.

"The Tatar army is attacking the city in the area of Lintao Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion, and it is the right time for our army to enter at this time. Along the West Han River to the northwest, along the Tao River all the way to the north, directly to Lintao Mansion, to the north is Lanzhou and the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, it is the territory of Western Xia. ”

The generals looked at the sand table in surprise, and then looked at Zhao Hong, all of them had small hearts beating wildly.

Looking at the emperor's meaning, is he going to occupy the land of Longxi?

"Your Majesty means that our army went directly north and occupied the south of the Yellow River?"

Huang Daxi, the new commander of the Chinese army, widened his bull's eyes.

"Your Majesty, the minister once fought against Jin with the Xia army in Lintao Mansion, and the minister is familiar with the terrain around Lintao Mansion and Lanzhou, and the minister is willing to be the vanguard!"

Lu Peng, the commander of the right army, turned red and immediately stood up and asked for his life.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, by surprise, is a good time to make contributions.

"Your Majesty, the minister has also fought against Jin, he is familiar with the terrain of Lintao Mansion, and the minister is willing to be the forward!"

Su Haoxin, the commander of the Wei Army, stepped forward with a black face to ask for orders.

He commanded 5,000 cavalry, basically gathering all the cavalry elites in Shu.

"Good! The right army was changed to the front army, the front army was changed to the right army, and the back army acted at the opportunity. Xu Sheng's three thousand iron horsemen are all under Su Haoxin's control, and they must not be restrained! ”

Zhao Hong looked at everyone and raised his voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is a national war, and I am personally marching for the peace of the Great Song Dynasty and the future of the Great Song Dynasty. Soldiers defend their families and defend the country, and their husbands have made great contributions today. Pass the order, send troops tomorrow, and go straight to the Lizhou Biansai! ”

Zhao Hong's military order was passed down, and the generals retreated, and not long after, a tidal wave of whistling sounded outside.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

The voices of the soldiers came, and Cui He and Fan Zhong were all stunned. Several people followed Zhao Hong to the gate of the barracks, only to see that countless soldiers on the teaching ground were excited, they held swords and guns, and shouted "Long live", and the sound shook the sky.

Zhao Hong didn't feel his blood boiling, walked out, waved his hand frequently, and unconsciously got on the high platform.

"Soldiers, hard work!"

Zhao Hong stood on the high platform and shouted loudly at the crowded soldiers below.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

What answered Zhao Hong was still the thunderous shouts of the soldiers of the Song Army.

The emperor implemented a new policy in Sichuan, organized and trained a new army, thundered, and today is a royal expedition, and the six armies are excited.

Zhao Hong pulled out the "Song Wang Sword" on his waist and shouted loudly.

"Brave Shu boys, kill the captives!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the crowd was excited, and the momentum was terrifying.

"Soldiers, do you know why we are fighting?"

Zhao Hong looked at the dense soldiers below, and tried his best to be concise and to the point, so that the army could hear clearly.

"The soldiers killed the enemy for the country, threw their heads and spilled blood, they are good men of my Great Song Dynasty, I will not let you shed blood and tears. The hard days of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers will never be there again! The good days of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers have come! ”

Zhao Hong faced the soldiers who were listening quietly with bated breath, and spoke emotionally.

"A nation without heroes is unfortunate! A nation that has heroes, but does not know how to respect and cherish is hopeless! This hero is you, all the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the country! I want all of your families to have a good life, to be fed and clothed, to have children to go to school, to have parents to enjoy their old age, and to be respected. This is the conscience of our Great Song Dynasty and the hope of the country! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The soldiers raised their swords and guns, and the thunderous shouts rang out again, which lasted for a long time.

"Your Majesty is really a sharp mouth!"

Seeing Zhao Hong on the stage, with a lotus flower in his mouth, and the admiration of the six armies, Cui He shook his head and said with emotion.

"Today's soldiers, they don't owe food, they don't have sashimi, they have high pensions, no one dares to underestimate them when they go out, and they have firearms, and they have a new look. It's not easy! ”

Fan Zhong also felt it.

The Song army was well-trained, had a sense of honor and disgrace, and a sense of honor, and their morale was very different from before. Coupled with the fact that the officers take the lead, it is worth looking forward to.

"Cui Xianggong, the battle report ahead!"

The sergeant came up and whispered a report.

Cui He opened the battle report, and when he looked at Fan Zhong, his face was solemn.

"The Tatar army of tens of thousands of people attacked Chuzhou! Your Majesty's unpredictable prophet is really a man of God! ”

"Your Majesty takes precautions, your eyes are like torches, you and I can't reach it!"

Cui He and Fan Zhong sighed one after the other.

Looking at the front of the high platform again, Zhao Hong had already returned to his position, and the high-pitched military orders sounded in the audience.

"Pikemen, grenadiers, cavalry, artillerymen, crossbowmen, drill begins!"

The army began to exercise, and it was indeed orderly and skillful, showing the demeanor of a strong army.

Zhao Hong looked at it carefully and nodded unconsciously.

When the king division was first trained, the head-on collision between the Mongolian iron cavalry and the Great Song Dynasty royal division may be a strong color and draw a stroke in history.
