I studied in modern times

Chapter 307 Zhao Xu: They are all in my jar
"Your Majesty, if the imperial army is mobilized in this way, a loyal and responsible minister must be selected to organize the army in person!" said the Empress Dowager Xiang, looking at the Empress Dowager.

She didn't know much about the military.

In this regard, the Queen Mother is the authority!
After all, the Xiang family is not as good as the Gao and Cao families. They have been generals for generations and know the military officials very well.

The Queen Mother nodded and then thought about it.

"Yanda and Miao are both official military ministers, and they are also palace commanders. They are not suitable to lead troops directly!"

"Now in the capital, the only one who is qualified and capable of commanding troops is Wu Xinjun, who retains Li Xian!"

"But Li Xian is an internal minister, and internal ministers cannot directly command troops in the capital!"

The lesson learned by Beiya in the Tang Dynasty was too profound.

Therefore, as long as the ministers return to Beijing, they will be deprived of all military power.

Neither the ministers nor the royal family would allow a minister to control an armed force in Bianjing City.

After excluding these three suitable senior military ministers, the remaining people in Bianjing City are all young military ministers from the Mesozoic Era.

From these people, it is difficult to select a candidate who is trustworthy and reliable, and who can be accepted by the courtiers and will not be rejected by the Privy Council.

Because these people lack the ability to trust.

If ability and trust are met, the Privy Council will reject it!
The most typical example is Miao Shu's son Miao Lu - how can a father and son command the army at the same time?
Without even thinking about it, Miao Lu would definitely be rejected by the Privy Council.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother thought of someone.

She looked at Zhao Xu and asked: "Guan family, can you transfer a military minister from the official family to serve as the general envoy of this forbidden army?"

Zhao Xu asked: "I wonder who my mother-in-law wants?"

The Queen Mother said: "Di Yong!"

Just the most suitable candidate at the moment.

Di Yong is a close minister of the emperor, and the royal family must trust him. He has served as a security guard along the border, and his qualifications are appropriate. As the son of Di Qing, his ability to command troops should also be good.

Zhao Xu smiled and replied: "It's up to my mother-in-law to make the decision!"

This matter has always been within the scope of Zhao Xu's calculations.

As long as the two palaces agree to deploy ten elite commanders of the Forbidden Army who have been garrisoning along the border to form the Central Strategic Reserve of the Song Dynasty.

Then, no matter how the two palaces choose, they will only choose Zhao Xu's loyal ministers!
The reason is simple - the current generals and civilian commanders with great military exploits in the DPRK and the frontiers were all promoted and appointed by Zhao Xu's father.

And most people have already met Zhao Xu.

If you don’t believe it, you can count them.

Zhao Xi of Xihe Road was directly appointed by Zhao Xu, and Liu Changzuo of Fuyan Road was appointed by Zhao Xu despite the pressure of the imperial censors and civil servants. As a military minister, he was appointed as a military envoy to Zhang Kai of Jingyuan Road. Zhao Xu specially promoted him.

Quanfa sent You Shixiong from Xizhou, Miao Lu who knew Taozhou, Wang Wenyu who was in charge of Xihe Road soldiers and horses, Li Hao and Akmi who knew Lanzhou...

Peng Sun, Yao Si, Yao Lin from Jingyuan Road...

There are also Lu Huiqing from Hedong and his generals...

Among the roads along the border, the only people who were not directly appointed or promoted by Zhao Xu were Xinzhi Qingzhou and Fan Chunchun, the military envoy of Huanqing Road appointed by Quan Fa.

However, Fan Chunren's brother Fan Chunren is Zhao Xu's teacher.

As for your question, are there any civil servants in the court or elsewhere who can lead troops?
Of course there is!
Zhang Dun, the ruler of the capital...Xiong Ben on Jingdong Road...and Wang Guangzu in Luzhou...

They are all capable of leading troops and knowing their troops.

But whose people are they?
Not Zhao Xu’s? !
and so……

Choose, choose!

As long as the two palaces select generals or civil servants to serve as commanders of this central strategic reserve mobile force under normal procedures.

Then Zhao Xu will definitely be chosen.

In fact, the two palaces almost know these things.

It's too late for the Queen Mother to be happy - my son will become a holy king if his military spirit is restored.

The Empress Dowager could only accept the reality.

He even had to cooperate with the acting to appear open-minded and kind in front of Zhao Xu.

She has been kidnapped by Wen Chen and the Gao family.She may not be aware of this herself, but her behavior proves this fact.

Zhao Xu knew this very well.

Of course, Zhao Xu would not expose it.

He would continue to play his role as a dutiful grandson.

After all, he still had to let the Queen Mother and Queen Mother Xiang help him handle the trivial state affairs.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Xu, touched his head kindly and then asked: "Officials, since the Forbidden Army has been mobilized and a commander has been appointed... according to the regulations, it is time to give this Forbidden Army a name! "

Zhao Xu nodded: "Mother Shengming!"

"Then the officials should give this forbidden army a military name!"

The names of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty were diverse, and their organization was even more disorganized.

Before Xining, the Forbidden Army often had several commanders in the east, several commanders in the west, and several commanders in the capital.

In the event of war, the court would appoint civil servants or military generals to take command.

The troops under his command often come from various branches of the Forbidden Army.

It is very common for an army of no more than [-] people to be mixed with the Forbidden Army from more than a dozen different military towns.

Therefore, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers.

After reforming the art of war, this relationship was finally straightened out.

Of course Zhao Xu would not, and he did not want to add a new redundant and useless organization to the structure of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.

So he said: "Mother, Sun Chen heard that the emperor studied the art of generals and reformed the military system. Sun Chen thought that this new forbidden army should also use the name of the art of wars!"

"Yes!" The Empress Dowager nodded, and then asked: "What do the officials mean?"

"Di Yong is the person next to Sun Chen, and he is also the commander of Yulong Guduozhi..."

"So, he went to organize the army on behalf of Sun Chen..."

"Why don't you give this army the title of: the first general to control the dragon!"

A full complement of ten commanders totaling 5000 people!
It just meets the requirements of a first-level combat unit in the Art of War.

At the same time, the title of the First General of Yulong can also be regarded as Zhao Xu’s first attempt to rebuild the Central Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty. In the past, the Central Forbidden Army not only had its personnel transferred, but also its establishment was also dismantled. That's almost it.

The huge city of Bianjing now has at most [-] regular imperial troops. Counting the troops from Kaifeng Prefecture and the showy marriage officials and personal servants in the imperial city who cannot fight at all, the guard force of Bianjing City is only [-]!
This makes people feel very insecure and leaves no room for error.

Rebuilding a powerful Central Army with combat effectiveness is what Zhao Xu must accomplish in this life!

He already had an idea in his previous life.

But I don’t know where to start or where to start.

But now, after studying abroad in modern times, Zhao Xu already knew how to rebuild a Central Forbidden Army that could deter all parties.

Fortunately, now that I have an opportunity, I can try it.

The Empress Dowager laughed when she heard this. She looked at Zhao Xu seriously and said, "Just follow the official rules!"

After she said this, she felt somewhat lonely.

This grandson is so outstanding.

Therefore, she already knows that every day that passes in the future means one less day that she can be in power.

This made her somewhat reluctant to give up.

But that's how things are, it doesn't depend on her will.

"Fortunately... this child is filial!"

"Even after a hundred years, I can rely on this child's blessing and have a good reputation in the history!"

Thinking like this, the Queen Mother felt comfortable in her heart.
