Zhao Fujin, the Emperor who brought disaster to the country

Chapter 30 Searching for Famous Generals
"Fu'er, I think it's better to find another official position." Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes, stared at his hands baking on the stove, and said slowly: "In just over a month, I have already dismissed more than 20 official positions. , if this continues, everyone in the DPRK will be in danger."

"Dad is right." Zhao Fujin had already planned for this: "However, we have collected more than 400 million taels of silver now, so we can stop for a while."

"Fu'er, for the country, 400 million taels of silver is no different than nothing." Zhao Ji said with a wry smile: "We still need to recruit private soldiers, and this little money will be gone if it is wasted!"

"Dad, there is no rush to recruit private soldiers. Right now, the most important thing is to train some generals who are good at fighting." Zhao Fujin said: "After these generals have preliminary military knowledge, there will be no other matters. Late."

"Training generals? Don't you use the generals already in the court?"

Since ancient times, generals in all dynasties and generations have either come from a family of generals or have been self-taught. It has never been said that they were recruited and trained.

"Dad, the existing generals in our court have formed a fixed mentality of war, which is extremely difficult to break." Zhao Fujin said: "We will only select some young men to come in, regardless of their life experience or status, and unify them from civil to military. Cultivate, conduct assessments every once in a while, survive the fittest, and select the most outstanding ones to lead the troops.”

"This is quite new!" Zhao Ji became interested: "Then how do you plan to choose?"

"A few days ago, Xu Pan went out and found an old house in the southwest alley of the imperial city that teaches people Kung Fu."

"The owner of the old house is my father's former military officer, named Zhou Tong. He has taught more than a dozen apprentices, all of whom are good talents with both civil and military skills."

"When my daughter heard this, she immediately thought, if we train generals and soldiers in this way, why worry about Jin and Liao soldiers crossing the border?"

"So, my daughter thought, first invite Mr. Zhou and several of his apprentices, and then slowly select suitable talents from the private sector."

Zhao Ji was a little dissatisfied. He felt that as a daughter, Zhao Fujin still had a shallow vision. With such a small fight, when could he train an elite army for the Song Dynasty?
He is right to think so. A little-known old coach cannot make a big splash even if he thinks about it.

However, he didn't know how many heroes and heroes stood in the courtyard of Old Coach Zhou!

His eldest disciple Lu Junyi was nicknamed "Jade Qilin" in the future. He held a golden Qilin spear, golden Qilin armor, and a BMW Qilin beast. He was known as the Three Wonders of Hebei. He had good martial arts, and his stick skills were unrivaled in the world.

The second apprentice, Lin Chong, would later become the instructor of the 80-strong Imperial Army in Tokyo.

The third disciple, Shi Wengong, was skilled in bow and horse and had unrivaled martial arts.

The fourth disciple was also the adopted son of Zhou Tong. His surname was Yue, his given name was Fei, and his given name was Pengju. More than ten years later, he captured the golden general Tuoba Yewu with [-] soldiers and beheaded the enemy chief Black Wind King Odunzalu. He regained the six counties of Xiangyang, drove to Yiluo, marched into Caizhou, and advanced into the Central Plains. He defeated the arrogant Jin soldiers at that time and fled north across the river.

It's a pity that he was so brave, but in the end he was framed and unjustly killed by Zhao Gou. A generation of famous ministers and generals died in an unjust prison. How can we not make people sigh and sigh!
Zhao Fujin let out a long sigh. In order to find Yue Fei, she sent more than a hundred attendants. She spent more than 20 days searching all over Tangyin, but there was no news about Yue Fei's mother and son. In the end, she was about to give up, but suddenly she thought His early master Zhou Tong.

It was much easier to find Zhou Tong. He had been an official in the Song Dynasty. You only need to scan the residence newspapers in recent years to find his location.

Sure enough, Xu Peng pretended to be a bodyguard and visited Zhou Tong's house.The young man pouring water turned out to be the famous general Yue Fei!

In the past few days, she had thought of many ways to recruit this young man, but they all ended in failure.Later, when Zhao Fujin accidentally learned the names of several of Yue Fei's senior brothers from Xu Peng, he suddenly discovered that many outstanding and powerful warriors in the late Northern Song Dynasty were actually Mr. Zhou Tong's apprentices!

This discovery made her excited. These powerful warriors and celebrities were all just young boys at the moment. Even the oldest Lu Junyi was only in his early twenties. If all these people could be used by the Song Dynasty, why worry about gold? The soldiers are brave!

Thinking of this, she put aside the idea of ​​recruiting only Yue Fei, and directly thought of recruiting Zhou Tong and his family!

If he doesn't want to, then use force!
Zhao Fujin was extremely happy to get Zhao Ji's permission. He returned to Ninghe Hall with a smile on his face.

Zhao Jinluo had been guarding her in the palace early. There were several plates of side dishes and four or five bottles of fruit wine on the table.

She was probably almost drunk, with a red face and drunkenness, and was forcing Qiong Ye to let her drink.

Qiongye finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Fujin coming back with Qiongyu and Qiongxiang. She stood up as if running away: "Your Highness, the fourth princess drank too much. The slave fed her sobering soup, but she refused to drink it no matter what. Go down."

"Of course the fourth sister doesn't dare to drink your soup. If she did, how could she have the nerve to make a fuss!" Zhao Fujin was in a good mood. He let Qiong Xiang take off his cloak, hugged the eight-eaves muff, and sat down next to Zhao Jinluo. opposite.

"Hey, my father's sweet daughter is back?" Zhao Jinluo's face turned red, and there was a tiny glimmer in her big eyes. When she saw Zhao Fujin, she moved crookedly towards her: "Fifth sister, what are you doing sitting so far away?" Well, come on, let Fourth Sister get some luck too."

While he was talking, he actually rubbed himself against Zhao Fujin, and the aroma of wine came from his bright red lips.

He was really drunk!
Seeing her coquettish and infatuated appearance, Zhao Fujin felt soft in his heart unconsciously. With the help of several girls, he gave Zhao Jinluo the sobering soup, and then sent her to the side hall to lie down before returning to himself. In the palace.

Qiong Yu followed her, saw her take out a pink gauze ribbon, and automatically closed the bedroom door.

Then he took the gauze ribbon in her hand and while tying it, he advised: "Your Highness, you should think of other ways. If you keep hanging yourself like this, it will be bad if you hurt your body."

"Oh, you think I don't want to!" Zhao Fujin looked at the gauze he had chosen and let out a long sigh: "Everyone else's space has something to support it, but in my space, it has to be hung. Only then can I get in, what can I do!"

"Your Highness, are you sure it's not a dream?" Qiong Yu tied the gauze and asked carefully.

Since moving into Ninghe Hall, Qiongyu has become a regular night attendant.

On the first night, Emperor Mingde, who had become unique, held a gauze ribbon and told her in the darkness: "I am an immortal in the heaven. I just reincarnated into the world because I wanted to save the Song Dynasty. My only connection with the heaven. It’s just like throwing a bamboo string into Xiang.”

This statement startled Qiong Yu. She watched with trembling fear as Di Ji threw herself into his arms, and then came down within a moment, taking out many things she had never seen before from her arms.
