At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 62 The Fourth Army

On the school ground, many teenagers were already lined up, and it was completely dark. The originally spacious school ground seemed quite crowded.

Zhao Shi showed up, and after some etiquette, he began to deliver a speech.

"The red sun rises at the beginning, its path is bright, the river flows out of the undercurrent, and the vast ocean pours out, the dragon lurks in the abyss, the scales and claws fly, the tiger roars in the valley, the beasts are frightened, the eagle and falcon try their wings, the wind and dust blow up, the first birth of strange flowers, Emperor Huang, the generals are hairy and have their awns, the sky is blue and the earth is yellow. Even though there are eternity, there are eight deserts in the horizontal direction, the future is like the sea, and the days to come are long. How beautiful is my young Song Dynasty, who is not old like the sky, how strong is my Song Dynasty Young man, there are no borders with the country!

Now that the Yuan captives are raging in China and harming the people, I hope that you will work hard to learn literature and martial arts, and do your best for the country's humerus, so that you can live up to your good years.

I won't say much, and I will give you another poem, and I hope you will not forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind.

A young man leaves home to join the army, not for fame or merit.I only think about the suffering of thousands of people traveling up the stairs, and I want to see the magnanimity of Jiuzhou.In the dream, I heard the roar of cranes in the Guanhe River, and my life experience in the military life was sent to me.A message to the two old roads in my hometown, marching from north to south and west to east. "

"I will obey the Holy Order." Xie Li and other instructors took the lead in responding, followed by the soldiers.

Next to him, Hu Sansheng said: "Today we know how great your Majesty's talent is!"

Li Cheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty doesn't like empty words and doesn't write poems easily. This shows how much he values ​​the Guards Camp."

Lu Xiufu said: "Isn't Your Majesty talking about himself?"

"In terms of the article's merits, who can compare with the sentence "Who has never died in life since ancient times, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate the history"? In terms of martial arts, restoring Fujian, Guangdong and other places, and facing the Yuanlu raids, no one can compare with the founding kings of all dynasties." Chen Yizhong said.

Hu Sansheng continued: "The Central Plains is in chaos and smelly everywhere. Now is the time to fight for the world again. If the country has such a heroic leader, it will definitely succeed. Expelling the Yuan captives can only happen in a matter of seconds."

While chatting, Zhao Shi had already left, and Hu Sansheng and others quickly followed.

Naturally, Xie Li couldn't leave, so he started to form formations against many teenagers.

According to the convention, five corps has a corps commander, two corps has a chief, ten corps has a capital head, five battalions have a commander, and five battalions and one army have a commander.

According to the number of 500 people, they were divided into four armies, named Pengri, Tianwu, Longwei and Shenwei respectively, collectively known as the Upper Four Armies.

After the initial reorganization, the head coach Xie Li gave a lecture: "At the beginning of the Kingdom, the upper fourth army received the highest economic treatment, and heroes from all over the world gathered in it. It is truly a powerful army in the world.

During Shenzong's time, he was retired to the Chinese Army, and his salary was halved. Heroes retreated and scattered, and the name of the Fourth Army was not worthy of the name.

Now His Majesty is rebuilding the Fourth Army. Although you are the backbone, you are still young and cannot restore the prestige of the Fourth Army.

This matter is not urgent. When you are with His Majesty, there will always be a time when you become a humerus. At that time, you will fight for His Majesty.

His Majesty once said that Yuanlu's surprise attack resulted in heavy casualties, and no one was more distressed than the young man from the Guards Camp who narrowly escaped death.

Now your main task is to practice literature and martial arts, but even if you join the army, you may die. No one has died in life since ancient times. Let your loyalty be remembered in history. I hope you will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations and revive the Fourth Army. prestige. "

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" one person shouted, and everyone echoed, shouting piercing the sky.

The shouting stopped, and many teenagers continued to whisper. Many instructors just passed on the message without interfering.

There will never be such a relaxing moment in the future. If we don't relax now, we will give many young people an illusion. I'm afraid they will only be able to remember the bitterness and not the sweetness.

After the emperor's ministers returned, they immediately dispersed and dealt with their own affairs. However, Lu Xiufu arrived at the household department and did not speak, just stared at Ma Tingluan.

Ma Tingluan turned a blind eye and only dealt with his own affairs, completely ignoring Lu Tongzhi's existence.When the matter was settled and Ma Tingluan was about to go home, Lu Xiufu stood up and followed Ma Tingluan.

Ma Tingluan stopped and said helplessly: "Lu Tongzhi, why are you here?"

Lu Xiufu replied: "Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. Now that the Fourth Army has no money and food, what can we do?"

"The central government is short of money and food, what can we do?" Ma Tingluan asked.

Lu Xiufu said: "Is it possible that the Ministry of Finance does not know your Majesty's wishes?"

Ma Tingluan replied: "Your Majesty is worried that the local garrison is too powerful and wants to control the army with his confidants. This is a long-term strategy, but 6000 people...can't afford it!"

In fact, everyone can see clearly that the emperor reset the Fourth Army in order to cultivate a group of middle and low-level officers. The purpose is of course to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

The most effective example of this approach was the Taiping Rebellion. At that time, its strength was greatly reduced after the Tianjing Incident but it was still strong. The growth of the Tongzi Camp was indispensable.

At the same time, it also has the purpose of strengthening military control. Generally speaking, after controlling middle and low-level officers, the commander can only hold back even if he has other ideas. This is another purpose of military academies in later generations.

"My eldest brother has a great plan to prevent Yue Zhongwu's story from happening again. But suddenly there are 6000 more people, and money and food are no longer available. What can be done?" Yang asked.

Yue Zhongwu was Yue Fei. When he was rehabilitated, he was given the posthumous title Wu Mu. During Ningzong's reign, he was named King of E and given the posthumous title of Grand Master. During Lizong's reign, his posthumous title was changed to "Zhongwu".

If Zhao Paopao had been able to grasp Yue Fei's troops in the first place, even if he was afraid of the second emperor Jingkang, he would not have killed the hero because he was worried that his troops would rebel.

Later, civilian officials served as Zhizhi envoys, Xuanfu envoys, and even took control of the armies. They did effectively control the army, but the side effects were great. The most obvious one was that the military commanders lost power, which led to a decline in the army's combat effectiveness. After the rise of Mongolia, it could not To resist, they had to re-empower the generals and shower them with favors, so Liu Zheng, Lu Wenhuan and others surrendered, and the entire army obeyed.

Zhao rebuilt the Fourth Army as an officer training corps to achieve the goals of enhancing the army's combat effectiveness and strengthening control.

"The people's enthusiasm for fighting is really unexpected. Now we can only let the Ministry of Household Affairs find a way." Zhao Shi was also very worried.

Yang thought for a moment and said, "I reported to Rihai that I have captured a lot, maybe I can add more?"

Zhao Shi replied: "The money and grain are on their way to Taizhou. They cannot be recalled. The central government must find a way. My son plans to sell the royal belongings. What do you think of it?"

Yang said: "The people don't have much food, so it may be difficult to solve the problem, and the people don't dare to buy."

"It doesn't matter, let the maritime merchants sell it to overseas countries in exchange for food. If these countries have admired the majesty of China for a long time, how can it be better to get the treasure if they get the things from the imperial family of the Song Dynasty? I'm afraid delaying will not help the emergency."

Zhao Shi thought for a moment and then said: "It might be feasible to go to the Shibo Division tomorrow to see what's going on."

"Hey, the country is in a difficult situation and the royal family has no integrity. It's really..." Yang couldn't help but wiped her eyes.

When people use the name of the royal family, they only dare to say that this is a tribute, and they never dare to say that it is a royal object. But now it is being sold naked, and Yang can't help but feel sad.

"Don't worry, Madam." Zhao Shi consoled him: "If the royal decency can be exchanged for money and food, then it is okay to sell the imperial edict. When the country is strong, the decency will naturally be restored. If the country is weak, how can we talk about decency?"

"My eldest brother has sacrificed a lot for the country. Lizong and Duzong know this well, wouldn't you be ashamed?" Yang couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart.

As long as Du Zong behaves like a normal person, Song Ting can survive for a few more years. As a result, everything big and small is left to Jia Sidao's hands. Jia Sidao is finished and is immediately left in the cold.
