Chapter 311: Northern Song Dynasty Yingtian Army!
[One-time customs clearance task (difficult level) 1: Kill Gao Qi and the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty within three months, take charge of the Privy Council, eliminate the source of the chaos between Liangshan and Fang La, and stabilize the rear of the Northern Song Dynasty (65% completion)]

[Completion of classified tasks (difficult): Gao Qiu and the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty have been punished, you have cleared the court, you have been named Taiwei, you are in charge of the Privy Council, and you hold the power of the world]

[Graded Task Reward (Difficult): Karma Coin + 2000W]

As the saying goes, there is nowhere to be found after walking all over the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. It is probably referring to Lin Shuhang's current situation.

He really didn't expect to take charge of the Privy Council, which seemed difficult at first, and he hadn't even started to exert his strength, but he had already solved it so easily, and the task completion rate given was exactly what Lin Shuhang had previously predicted. 30% of the estimate.

This complicated task... now finally saw the end, and it only took less than a month. However, Lin Shuhang felt a little confused about the end of the task of putting out the Liangshan and Fangla rebellion.

Logically speaking, don't say that Chao Gai, Wu Song and others have surrendered now, but just say that from the day he crossed, as long as Lin Chong didn't go to Liangshan, it was almost impossible for the later Liangshan Group to be established.

Don't underestimate the importance of Lin Chong in the Liangshan Group. If he hadn't fought Wang Lun first, then Chao Gai would probably not have been able to go to Liangshan. , there will never be another incident of robbing the birthday gang, and it will never be forced to go to Liangshan by being wanted. Then the Liangshan Group should no longer exist. It is right to show the progress of the "step-by-step completion" on the task, but it just doesn't... ...It seems that even if things go on like this, rebellion will still break out in Liangshan.

This is indeed a bit weird, but there is too little information at present, and it is difficult to make specific speculations.

For things that he couldn't figure out for the time being, Lin Shuhang never struggled, and put them aside first. At the same time, the third sub-task reminder popped up in his mind.

[One-time customs clearance task 3: Drill the soldiers and horses of the three divisions, clean up military discipline, and train a team of elite soldiers, all of which are self-trained by quelling civil strife, in order to deal with the ultimate threat from the north]

After all, there is still civil strife, and the high probability refers to Liangshan and Fang La.

Lin Shuhang had already planned for this. Even without this system task, forming an elite army would be the top priority to save the Northern Song Dynasty...

As soon as he came out of the back garden after receiving orders, he bumped into King Ding Zhao Heng head-on.

Zhao Heng obviously already knew about Lin Shuhang's appointment as Taiwei. Before Lin Shuhang came to Houyuan, he had already settled with Huizong, and even made this suggestion himself. Seeing Lin Shuhang at this time, Zhao Heng's face was full of excitement.

How can a motivated prince not care about the country's military?Zhao Heng was obviously concerned, and even knew a lot about the military headquarters of the Third Division of North Korea and China.

After congratulating with joy on his face, he asked in a slightly considerate tone: "I wonder what the captain wants to do first after taking office?"

Lin Shuhang asked back: "I would like to hear His Highness's opinion first."

Zhao Heng's question was really just an opening remark. Hearing Lin Shuhang's retort question, he laughed and said full of ambition: "The third department has been corrupted for a long time, and it has been broken from the root. The soldiers are all lacking in training, and they are greedy for life and afraid of death, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Take the Dianqian Division as an example, they have already cultivated the old soldiers in Bianjing. It is necessary to practice more immediately! At the same time, a thorough investigation of the military's empty pay can not only reduce the financial pressure on the court, but also gain the trust of all officials. In addition, there are several retainers in my palace who are very familiar with military affairs. Taiwei Chuchu When you take office, the malpractice in reforming the army is precisely when you employ people, and these few people will definitely help you a lot! These three things are exactly the so-called three fires for new officials to take office!"

Lin Shuhang smiled slightly, and looked at Zhao Heng for a few seconds.

Frankly speaking, this guy has created a problem for himself.

Zhao Heng has indeed put his heart into understanding the various malpractices in the military, and he also intends to reform, but his thinking is too naive. None of the three things he mentioned when he took office was done right. Jump wherever there is a pit, you are hopelessly stupid, if you really want to do this, you will have to be beaten to Bianjing by the Jin people in less than half a year, and repeat the shame of Jingkang.

But after all, the other party came here with enthusiasm, and direct denial, on the one hand, would too much damage Zhao Heng's passion and self-confidence, and on the other hand, it would easily leave a crack in the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

It doesn't matter to me, with him here, Lin Shuhang believes that no matter what the situation is, he can control Zhao Heng to death, but what if he leaves after his mission is completed?
At that time, the threat of the Jin people will be lifted, and the national power of the Northern Song Dynasty will be prosperous. Zhao Heng, Song Qinzong, will also be regarded as the eternal emperor of Zhongxing Huaxia. At that time, Zhao Heng will not be the 14-year-old child now. Leaving behind a real Lin Chong who was completely lacking in ability, if there had been some rifts between Qinzong and him, then I am afraid that the day he left would be the day when Lin Chong would be liquidated.

But if he doesn't say anything, or if he contradicts Zhao Hengyang, then the rift will be bigger, and even without Zhao Heng's full support, his plan will be blocked everywhere...

"What Your Highness said is very true." Lin Shuhang had no choice but to put down his body and coax the child, and he came up with a jujube first: "Seeing such shortcomings in the army shows His Majesty's intentions and understanding of military affairs. I don't know, Your Majesty's three Did you come up with the strategy yourself? Or was it offered by those military advisors in His Highness’ palace?”

Zhao Heng was slightly taken aback, but he himself felt embarrassed first. He heard these words from a few of his guests, and felt that they were very reasonable. He wanted to pretend to be aggressive in front of Lin Chong, but he didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.

After all, Zhao Heng is still a child right now, with a thin skin. If this matter got passed by in a daze, he would never mention it. But since he was asked, it is not easy to pretend to be a servant, but at least he knows people well. The reputation of being talented is not worth running away.

He smiled and said: "If you can't hide it from the Taiwei, these three strategies are all contributed by the disciples under his command. However, I have also known about the disadvantages in the army before. These three strategies are absolutely true, so I came to inform the Taiwei. I wonder what the Taiwei thinks of these three strategies?"

Lin Shuhang smiled slightly. His rebuttal before was against Zhao Heng, but now he rebutted against his disciples. He said flatly: "These people know that His Highness is worried about state affairs, and they do what they like, just to win His favor. But the strategy presented is full of loopholes and is full of nonsense!"

Zhao Heng was slightly taken aback. When he was scolded, he felt a little uneasy on his face, but after thinking about it again, he felt that Lin Chong was scolding those few disciples, and the phrase "worried about state affairs" was instead praising him constantly.

Zhao Heng was not a fool. He immediately understood why Lin Chong asked who made the plan first. Not only did he not reprimand him on purpose, but he wanted to avoid his own embarrassment. He was extremely attentive to him.

Thinking about the current Lin Chong, who is deeply trusted by Huizong, talking and laughing, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and other big thieves in the country are instantly wiped out. up.

Such an important official with great achievements and power over the world is still taking care of his little emotions just to say a word, but he actually feels resentful towards others because of a little thing...

Thinking of this, the anger in Zhao Heng's heart dissipated in an instant, instead he felt ashamed, and even the complacency on his face in the past few days also subsided a lot, and he didn't know what to say.

I saw Lin Shuhang making a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty once said that you will not discuss matters in the back garden. Your Highness, please move. How about going to Panlou to talk?"

The embarrassment on Zhao Heng's face eased a little, and he said obediently, "Let's go wherever the Taiwei says to go!"

Pan Lou...

Not long ago, where I met Zhao Heng, the journey I designed for Lin Chong's turnaround also started here.

Today's Zhao Heng, the rumor of his establishment of a prince has long been known to everyone in Bianjing, so it is obviously more precious than his previous status as a prince.

The shopkeeper arranged the best private room on the third floor, and even the entire third floor was closed to accept customers, so that the conversation is clean and there is no need to worry about the ears of the partition wall.

Thanks to the previous emotional detours, Lin Shuhang knew that Zhao Heng no longer had the intention of resisting, and when he criticized these three strategies, he would be relentless.

practice?As for those Bianjing children who were tired of doing exercises for only two or three days in a year and a half?
Who are those people... Lin Chong knew best when he was in the Dianqian Division. It's just for gilding, so that the fathers can operate it in the future, and the sky will rise.

Therefore, in the Dianqian Division, the instructors often dare not offend the soldiers. For training and so on, everyone just pretends. You teach the leader to pack up and leave.

So those soldiers, one by one, are more than the second uncle in that hall, eating, drinking, having fun, looking for flowers and asking willows, just sneaking around, and practicing ghosts?
Rotten wood cannot be carved, and it is said that the Dianqian Division, and even the soldiers in the Third Division today are not much better.

Including the current situation of the northern frontier army, Lin Shuhang also analyzed and popularized it for Zhao Heng.

Although its composition is not the second-generation ancestors of Bianjing, under the leadership of Tong Guan, it has long become an army that can only bully civilians, and when strong is weak, it is a scattered army. No matter how invincible the tactics are formulated, but the execution of the army is not in place, when they see a strong enemy, they will run away without fighting, and they will still have to hate the border.

Therefore, even if Han Shizhong, Zong Ze and other famous generals of the Northern Song Dynasty went to sit in the town, it would be impossible to recover their defeat. Even if he personally went to the frontier army now, there is a high probability that the Northern Army would not be able to defeat the Kingdom of Jin.

After all, Tong Guan has already been defeated in history, which proves that personal force cannot completely control everything in the struggle between countries in this era, or the opponent also has a peerless master whose personal force is not inferior to Tong Guan, so Tong Guan can't win Yes, I can't take it myself either.

The reason why he applied for the imperial decree to send Han Shizhong, Zong Ze and others to take charge of the Northern Army was that the main purpose was that there were many remnants of Tong Guan’s Northern Army in the Northern Army, and it was not so easy to be accepted by others. Only those with some prestige in the middle school will do.

As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Han Shizhong's prestige is undoubtedly sufficient. Zong Ze has not yet shown his edge on the battlefield, and his reputation is not obvious, but Zhou Tong, Wang Jin and others are all from the head of the third division. There is no real power, but the prestige and reputation in the army are definitely at the height of the sky. Today's Northern Song Dynasty court has both prestige, ability, and enough loyalty to send it over to receive the Northern Army. Except for guarding the northwest and resisting Xixia now. In fact, there are only this group of people who are mobilized as masters and masters, that is, the so-called old masters and small masters.

The second is to give these two future famous generals the experience of commanding the battle, and at the same time to train Yue Fei, Zhou Tong, Wu Song and others. They must also be able to be defeated without chaos, and while preserving some combat power for the Northern Song Dynasty, it is also possible to train some usable soldiers from the mob.

To put it bluntly, Han Shizhong, Zongze and the others went to the Northern Expedition to gain experience. Although they will inevitably encounter some criticism and resistance from the opposition in the DPRK and China, under the circumstances that Zhao Heng is in charge and he holds great power, all It can be suppressed until the day of turning defeat into victory.

Even such a famous general in the world can't save the team, which shows the decay of the Northern Army.

Training?Isn't it [-] times better to just disband and recruit new people on the spot than to talk to them?
Therefore, the first of these three strategies is a complete mistake. The current batch of rotten troops in the Northern Song Dynasty cannot solve the problem by training at all, and can only be disbanded on the spot, although it will offend some Bianjing for this. The rich and powerful, but at this special moment, they can only cut through the mess quickly, the pressure that should be carried will come after all, not to mention having their own iron fist, no matter if they come in the open or in the dark, they are not afraid of those rich and powerful making trouble.

And the second point is even more wrong, and it is also closely related to the first point.

Thoroughly check the empty pay in the army to satisfy the courtiers and gain their trust?
Why should I satisfy those rotten wood in the court?Why should we gain their trust?

In the troubled times when the country is facing a crisis, what I want is money, rather than satisfying those civil servants who talk about everything!
Your army in the Northern Song Dynasty has long been an enemy of the people, moths and garbage in the eyes of all civilians. You can recruit strong men without spending a lot of money by just posting notices?

Even if people are recruited, don't the sophisticated equipment cost money?The lack of physical strength caused by a lot of high-intensity training requires more and better food to supplement, food, clothing, housing and transportation... all of these are free?
With the normal military salary in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not bad to be able to barely feed a soldier half full. You can't even talk about being full, and you still want to train elite soldiers?

It's just nonsense!
Although my own mountain and river map contains the wealth left behind by Xia Houyang, the lord of the Five Fingers, who claimed to be rich and invincible, but Xiahouyang is only a city, and although his wealth is large in my personal opinion, training an elite team of 2000 people, and even Special forces are no problem, but how about training [-] or even [-]?This amount of money is far from enough, not to mention that I have to use this little food to prepare for the unexpected needs of practice in reality, and it is too pitiful to fill it all in the bottomless pit of the Northern Song army.

After all, the Northern Song court will be responsible for the money, but if the new official takes office and asks the court for money, that will really arouse conflicts among the officials. Therefore, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others made it 'Empty pay', this time it will come in handy...

Using these empty salaries to pile up the resources of two, three, or even four or five people on one soldier, plus some extra subsidies from myself and Zhao Heng, isn't this the basis for training elite soldiers?And the old system continues, and the military expenditures that the officials in the court are used to are just thinking that someone else is "greedy". I won't say anything, this is the best way to maintain the stability of the court while satisfying my needs to the greatest extent.

Therefore, the second of the three strategies is no longer nonsense, it is simply digging a hole for oneself and burying herself alive!
To help the imperial court thoroughly check the empty payment?My buddy wished that the vacant salary would be paid a little more, and the idiot only went to check!

And a few counselors who came up with such two stupid strategies together, actually want to serve in their own Privy Council?
Is it necessary to explain the result of the third strategy?
After listening to Lin Shuhang's analysis of the pros and cons and the actual situation, it was only at this time that Zhao Heng suddenly realized.

I really hated the three ignorant counselors at home, claiming that they would be expelled from the house when they returned, and said with emotion: "Cai Jing is missing in the Central Academy today, and various imperial decrees are conveyed very quickly. The emperor has issued it today. The order to let me supervise the country, and the appointment of the Taiwei, I am afraid that I will arrive at the mansion later, the Taiwei can return quickly, and when I get the Tiger Talisman of the Privy Council, the two of us can begin to promulgate the new policy in the army tomorrow morning , now that the Northern Liao Dynasty is about to fall, and the Jin people are eyeing them. The sooner this elite soldier can be trained, the Northern Song Dynasty can truly have a peaceful day! By the way... this new recruit has a new look, and the title of Dianqiansi is really unusable. This elite soldier, did the Taiwei ever think of a good name?"

I really didn't think about it, Lin Shuhang pondered for a while, and heard Zhao Heng say with a smile: "This army was planned by the Taiwei, I think it's good to teach the Lin family army!"

Lin Shuhang looked slightly solemn.

Thinking about Zhao Gou's killing of Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty, reducing Han Shizhong and Zongze's military power, etc., the main reason was that the emperor did not trust him because of his great achievements and the self-respect of the soldiers.

And this "distrust", the so-called folk names such as Yue Jiajun and Han Jiajun, may also have something to do with it, and now calling the new army Lin Jiajun, wouldn't it plant a big bomb for the future Lin Chong?

"No!" Lin Shuhang said seriously: "This army used the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, absorbed the blood and sweat of the Great Song Dynasty, and was established to save the common people. How can it be regarded as Lin Chong's private army? Let's call it the Yingtian Army. It is in line with God's will. It also means that the emperor's army is only under the command of His Highness. His Highness is in charge, and Lin Chong can be his deputy. From formation to training, and even going to the battlefield, His Highness also needs to participate in it. The military is to build up the prestige and aspirations of the soldiers, and they must be loyal to the royal family forever!"
