Shao Song

"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

Ma Kuo came and went in a hurry, seeing national affairs as the only thing, which really made Zhao Jiu feel a bit of a shock.

However, after all, he did not prevent the other party from turning back, because feelings belong to feelings. As an official, he always has to do things... If he really fell into feelings and faced the anger of the three major cases, he would be Zhao official. It's impossible to stop at taking a knife to mark Zhao Ji's congratulatory form, where will he come out to patrol the army and meet Ma Kuo?

Even further, five or six years of ruling experience has indeed sharpened something for this ordinary engineering college student.

For example, Zhao Jiu actually hates Li Guang and Ma Shen, but his reason has always told him that Li Guang is actually qualified for the specific position of Zhongcheng in Yushi. People originally wanted to play the role of the assassin, and Ma Shen Even if they hide their opinions, they are better than others and hide their spears within their own jobs... From the perspective of the criminal department chief, this person is undoubtedly qualified.

What's more, this person did maintain meritorious service in Hubei before.

In addition, there is also the issue of the two new approach ministers, Lu Benzhong and Ninbaozhong. Frankly speaking, Zhao Jiu knows that these two people are faulty. One is incompetent, which is fully in line with the identity of the eldest son of the fourth generation and three gong family; the other has no virtue and also It is fully in line with the settings of the military clan leaders of ethnic minorities in small remote countries.

These two people, Zhao Jiu, who was placed five years ago, must be...definitely can't tell which of them is incompetent and moral. If it were placed in the Zhao official's house for three years, it would probably not give the two people a chance to get close at the beginning.

However, the current official understands to a certain extent that being without virtue and incompetence does not mean uselessness.

At the moment when Xungui and the royal family are under general suppression, Lu Benzhong’s identity naturally has a certain political influence. Coupled with Lu’s special position in the original school and a good reputation, then put him up and put him around. A helper is of course no problem.

In a similar way, the bald old man Renbaozhong, not to mention his rich military and political experience, and the status of a veteran of the Hengshan party clan, is enough to give him a chance to stay in the center of power and survive.

Of course, everything must have a steelyard... As you get closer, Yang Zheng, who is already dead, is also useful, but his head is still cut off; Liu Guangshi is also useful, but he is let go like a chicken. Blood...There must be a degree in everything, but also a line, and this is the same for people.

Back to the present, although Ma Kuo left, he left a clear and unmistakable message. This person may be the person who knows the Jurchens best, and is also the person who has the most say in the Northern Expedition, and put forward a clear concept-that is, once the offensive and defensive changes, if you want to defeat the Jurchens in Lianghe, you must have 300,000 soldiers.

This serious reminder, or warning, Zhao Jiu certainly approves. However, the Zhao official family recognized the general principles, and recognized that after the offensive and defensive changes, the Song army, which is barely able to maintain the Yellow River confrontation at the moment, is insufficient and must have a significant improvement, otherwise it is very likely to fall short.

Then this apparent increase in combat power can be expressed in the most intuitive form from 200,000 to 300,000.

In fact, it can of course be quantity, but it can also be qualitative, it can be the right time and place, and it can even be a breakthrough weapon technology.

From another point of view, Zhao Jiu has already begun to make similar preparations. For example, with the improvement of finances year after year, and the imperial cavalry in Quduan cannot recruit enough soldiers and horses, at the end of last year At the beginning of last year, he had already acquiesced to Yue Fei's ministry to expand its troops slightly after the suppression of Jingxiang, and the establishment of the imperial army in the previous year had already broken through the original 35,000 framework and reached the 40,000 mark. .

As for the Ministry of Han Shizhong, the Ministry of Wu Jie, the Ministry of Qu Duan, and the Ministry of Wang De, they were allowed to keep the more than 10,000 elite party items they had acquired after this conquest of Xixia. In fact, all the ministries have broken through the original quota. The overall organization of the battalion army actually crossed the 200,000 mark after the Xixia War.

In a word, in any case, there is a consensus, that is, the combat effectiveness of the field corps must be improved qualitatively.

Moreover, after Ma Kuo left, Zhao Jiu, who got the answer he wanted during his trip, also left Heyin, but still did not return to the capital, but rubbed Tokyo City under the already tense gaze inside the capital and continued to patrol the river. , Yuanwu, Yangwu, Jujube, Xuancheng, Shaoxing... It can only be said that this Zhao official seems to be patrolling the river defense and inspecting the troops wholeheartedly.

Moreover, compared with the prudence in Zhang Rongjun before, compared with the previous years when he stopped at high-level officers and stopped at serious shortages and corruption during his inspections in the past few years, this time, when inspecting Li Qiong's department, Zhao Ji clearly adopted a more stringent approach. , The direct way.

A large number of middle- and low-level military officers were expelled from direct crimes due to the bad habits of the soldiers and the act of trampling on the lines of the soldiers. It is just that the troops in their early ten thousand years have been dealt with a total of hundreds of people in the five places, of which more than 30 people have been directly dismissed. Beheaded.

This made countless officers below Li Qiong panic, thinking that this official was targeting himself, but fortunately, the prestige that Zhao official's should have in five or six years is now available, and no one dares to learn from the past. Defected.

After patrolling Li Qiong's ministry, Zhao Guan's family did not return to the capital according to the recommendations of the Tokyo city. Instead, they directly crossed Shaoxing in the colder and colder winter and continued eastward into the Henan section of Kaidefu.

From here, they actually set foot in the defense zone of the former army of Yue Fei's imperial camp.

It didn’t take long for Yue Fei to just come back. At this time, he was far away in Qizhou. Zhao Jiu didn’t give any notice. In fact, he came here with a trace of prudence. He also wanted to see with his own eyes how good Yue Fei’s military discipline was recognized as being outstanding. How powerful is the legendary Yue Family Army... You must know that this is the first time Zhao Jiu has come to inspect the imperial army, or the Yue Family Army.

But when he actually walked down, to be honest, Zhao Jiu only had a four-character feeling, that was nothing extraordinary.

The so-called innocence means that he can't see any obvious features that completely shine and break through the era...Without any specific military equipment and equipment, from the perspective of the deployment of sophisticated troops, the Yuejia Army seems to be inferior to Han Shizhong's Ministry. Those elite troops came from the squad; there is no such thing as a line-up of soldiers, not to mention that the honor guards of the later generations are generally neatly aligned, but they are physically strong, and they are obviously inferior to the royal squad and even the pros of Wang Debu. The army; for the same reason, the officers in the army do not have the simplicity of an officer-soldier integration. The officers of the Yuejia Army are well paid, and the purchase of properties in the garrison is also very popular. This is not even as harmonious as the grass-roots officers and soldiers of the Zhang Rong Department.

But on the other hand, this official can't find anything wrong... There is no such thing as a soldier; there is no obvious problem of unpaid salary; of course there are vacancies in the sergeant, but they are all flagrantly marked on the documents. Whoever asks. It is fake, so and so who just chose to withdraw from the army due to injury; armor is of course not everyone wearing armor, only seven or eight out of ten. Some archers and logistic sergeants are out of armor, but that’s because of the number of armors distributed by the court. that's it.

The rest of the army has one exercise for three days, one exercise for ten days, and how many days they eat meat, they all work on a regular basis.

Everything is so ordinary, everything is so clear, the combat personnel summoned out, it was clear at a glance, and the logistic account book escaped, it was also clear at a glance.

Frankly speaking, Zhao Jiu was a little disappointed.

However, among the entourage, Lu Benzhong and Fan Zongyin did not mention it, but Wang Yan, Liu Hongdao, and Ninbaozhong appeared to be extremely shocked, and as the imperial driver marched eastward, the more troops stationed in front of the imperial camp were inspected, the astonishment also manifested itself. It became stronger and stronger, and in the end, these officials, who were considered the governors of Zhibing, simply fell into an unbelievable posture.

It was Zhao Jiu, and gradually got a bit of a scent.

In other words, he felt the taste at the beginning, but because he had unrealistic ideas at the beginning, he did not show it. In the feudal era, an army of as many as forty to fifty thousand people could maintain the whole line This mediocrity is a miracle in itself.

You know, this is forty to fifty thousand people!

The increase in the number of troops will inevitably lead to management chaos and a drop in average combat power. This is common sense. At this time, maintaining the height of the lower limit of the combat power of the troops is extremely important.

There is no doubt that Yue Pengju is a handsome talent in the management and combat of the large corps, and may even be the only one in the contemporary era.

Not to mention anything else, if his Zhao official family can achieve this level and make the 200,000 imperial army all be in such a mediocre appearance, then he will dare to cross the river now.

But in fact, Zhao Jiu couldn't do this, otherwise he wouldn't be forced to patrol the river in the winter.

In this way, after seeing the innocence of the Yue family’s army, Zhao Guan’s family continued to travel eastward, from Kaide to Puzhou, and then to Dongping Mansion. During the period, he even went to see the frozen Liangshanpo, condolences the local fishermen and showed them. Zhao Song's official family, the family, and the people.

In the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, seeing the weather getting colder, Zhao Jiufu sent Liu Hongdao back to Tokyo to make arrangements, but finally entered Qizhou and came to the famous Jinan Prefecture.

Yue Fei and Wan Tusao went out of the city for fifty li to greet each other, and the monarchs and ministers met, but as always, there was not much extra words to reach. It was Wang Yan who worked as a manager, and after this trip, there was some shock, but he was just stern and didn't have any trouble with the imperial court.

The inspection of Jinan Prefecture is also lackluster. It is nothing more than the presence of some elite troops from the imperial camp. Zhao Jiu is more familiar with these elite troops, so he didn't pay too much attention to investigation. . The only thing worth mentioning is that the official finally met the legendary mother-in-law, and exchanged with them some experience in raising children.

After staying in Jinan for only four or five days, Zhao Guan's house continued to inspect eastward, and Yue Fei also led Zhang Xianbu to **** Zhao Guan's house to the east, and arrived in Zizhou. Zizhou still belongs to the garrison of Yue Fei's Ministry, but Qingzhou further east is the resident of Zhang Jun's imperial right army.

However, after entering Zizhou and before arriving in Qingzhou, there was finally an accident—hundreds of armored sergeants suddenly came to face each other and stopped outside the imperial army station outside Gaoyuan City. Ceremony, please see you.

The incident happened suddenly and everyone was careful, but fortunately, this place itself was outside the barracks, and the number of entourages was enough. If hundreds of people used this method to meet, it is unlikely that it would be a mutiny, so with other people Zhao Jiu kept calm and entered the Gaoyuan military camp with Wang Yan, Yue Fei and others, and then summoned the leader of this sergeant.

But unexpectedly, the visitor did not come to Zhao Jiu, but professed to come to Yue Fei. Even when he came to the church, he heard that the official was in front of him, so he simply lost his mind. Knocking.

At this moment, the accompanying civil and military became nervous again and didn't say anything, and Zhao Jiu finally turned his tentative gaze at Yue Pengju.

"Officials."

How Yue Fei didn't know the root of the matter, it was just that it was a bit embarrassing, but now that it happened, he didn't dare to stand up and explain it earlier. "This person is indeed recognized by the minister. It was a lieutenant recruited by the minister in Jingxiang Ping, Zhongxiang Yang, and called Tai Tai Guo. Later, the minister placed him here as a deputy commander and led three hundred Zheng. Death. But this person had already asked himself to resign when the minister was still in Kansai a few months ago, and he is not considered a subordinate of the minister..."

"I know Mrs. Guo's name, and I surrendered with Huang Zuo... But what is the word for resignation?"

Zhao Jiu frowned immediately, but instantly noticed something was wrong. "A deputy commander who has three hundred children from his hometown resigned while the head coach was away. What happened? And looking at what it looks like today, his three hundred children resigned with him, and he also had armor and weapons... Is it Wang Gui who stayed in Jinan to be in charge? Sanbaijiang pawns, just let them leave directly?"

Yue Fei was embarrassed for a while, and it was Wang Yan, Renbaozhong and others who also remained silent at this time, because these people with rich military careers had already guessed what was going on at this time.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jiu blurted out in silence, but his heart moved slightly at the same time, and he seemed to wake up a little.

"No matter how confused the officials and ministers are, it is impossible to really let the three hundred Jingxiang-born pawns leave the army without permission in Jingdong with armor ordnance." Yue Fei was forced to the corner and told the truth. "According to Wang Gui, at that time, Zhang Jiedu, the right army of the imperial battalion, shifted the text, which was considered to be flat."

Zhao Jiu finally sneered, sat up, and then asked Mrs. Guo, who was kneeling down there, not daring to raise his head: "Mrs. Guo, what do I ask you, Zhang Junxu? The house is still a beautiful concubine, or two promotion. Grade official?"

"Nothing!" Mrs. Guo still didn't dare to look up, but just bowed. "Officials face to face, I dare not say a word of nonsense!"

"Then why did you go there?!" Zhao Jiu finally frowned.

"Because the Yue Family Army is too restrictive!" Guo Tai explained quickly. "No this, no that, one exercise for three days, one practice for ten days, it's too hard...Then Zizhou is next to Zhang Jiajun, and I get acquainted with the people of Zhang Jiajun, knowing that it's easy, I want to go there!"

Zhao Jiu had no expression on his face, but he already believed it, and looking at the surrounding people with military experience, they all had such a posture... In fact, this kind of thing was very common in the feudal era army, and even the imperial After the establishment of the camp system, even in the first two years, it is still commonplace, and the scale was still very large at that time.

But in the past two years, as the situation gets better and better, the central authority gradually rises, and such things have become rare. More like this, the replacement of hundreds of people, under the condition that their respective military pays are all fixed, does not involve a real increase or loss of military strength, and the handsome officials of both sides are not easy to poke up because of the face.

Of course, there are still doubts about the belief, it is like knowing that it is knowing, and it is a general reason to be unhappy after seeing similar situations.

"Then why are you back today?" Seeing that the official's expression hadn't changed for a long time, Ren Baozhong realized that he was the first to ask questions.

Not knowing whether it was because the southerner didn't understand the Northwest accent, or something else, after being questioned, this person just bowed his head and said nothing.

On the other side, Yue Fei gradually became a little annoyed. When encountering this kind of thing, it is normal for people to be a little angry. What's more, this fellow doesn't know the decency, and he kept talking about Yue Jiajun and Zhang Jiajun in front of the officials. These words added confusion to him.

"It's because you know that Taiwei Yue has done a great job this time, so that the three towns can be used for the sake of the three towns. The handsome ministers sit and watch one, and Zhang Jiajun has defeated the battle, wake up Yue Jiajun has a great future here?" Seeing the official When the family went to bring tea to drink, Wang Yan knew that the officials were also angry, and finally couldn't hold back the opportunity to stab Yue Fei, his old ministry.

Yue Fei was completely anxious, but confronted Wang Yan, and he was still imperial, and he was really a little tied, so he just got up and sternly reprimanded Guo Tai: "Guo Tai, in front of the officials, the Imperial Commander King Jiedu asked you what he said. What can you hide?!"

Guo Tai finally looked up when he heard this, but looked embarrassed: "So that Jedu knows, it's not that I don't want to say it, but it's embarrassing to say... If there are only a few Jedu in front of me, how can I be ashamed of the official? "

"If you don't say it again, it won't be a shame!" Yue Fei directly narrowed his eyes. "Are you really afraid of military law?!"

"So that the officials and all the lieutenants know that this matter has nothing to do with the future victory or defeat."

Under the eyes of the big and small, Mrs. Guo finally couldn't hold it, lowered her head and told the truth. "I went to Zhangjiajun's place, and the days were really relaxed, but when I reached my level, the ordnance was still sufficient, but the military pay was only 80% paid..."

Zhao Jiu, who was drinking tea with his head down, suddenly raised his head, shocking everyone into awe.

"Twenty percent of the salary is missing, and one **** is not showing up in one month or two months, but one year is a small ten percent of money." Guo Tai, with his head down, did not notice the abnormality above, but continued to explain. "The younger one sent home. After a few months, the old lady at home asked the uncle to write a letter to scold him, asking if he had broken his studies? The elder brought the **** family to the local area and put the money back, and the **** family also I’m having trouble at home, and I’m asking if I’m raising someone outside? 300 brothers have to have 200 people who are uneasy at home, and when people are uneasy, they have to ask me to explain. These brothers around me are all from my own family and one village. It’s really true. I couldn’t hold it, and then yesterday I heard from the old brothers in the army here that today Yue Jiedu’s four-character Dazhu was about to come over, so he rushed to wait early in the morning, asking Jiedu forgiveness, and I hoped that I would come back... No one was wearing red and green, the official came suddenly? If I knew this, even if I died in Qingzhou, I wouldn't be embarrassed."

After some words, there was still no sound in the hall. Now, even Mrs. Guo noticed something wrong, and then became more and more panicked.

"Let's stay!" After a long pause, Zhao Jiu suddenly picked up the porcelain cup to break the silence. It was a verbal message and settled on something that sounded absurd. "It can be regarded as a proof of Pengju's rigorous management of the army and his own integrity...Leave it!"

Yue Fei hurriedly got up to answer, but Guo Tai was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again.

After a while, Mrs. Guo left the barracks lobby, and the trivial matter was over, but the lobby seemed a little dull, and almost everyone was guessing what Zhao Guan's thoughts were.

But soon I don’t have to guess. Zhao Jiu just sat in the slightly dull lobby, then smiled and stood up and ordered:

"Pengju don't go back to Jinan, don't follow me to Qingzhou, just wait here, understand?"

Yue Fei was startled slightly, and then quickly bowed his head and said yes.

After that, the official's house no longer inspected the local army in Gaoyuan, but directly got up and out of the barracks, shocked that the accompanying ceremonial guard who had just rested for a while got up, and continued to follow the official's house to the southeast...Look at this Meaning, this official family only met in Gaoyuan, and then went directly to Qingzhou.

Accompanied by civil and military, each was silent.

Until that evening, when the time was about to pass, Wang Yan, the highest official among them, was completely unable to hold back...Of course, it may also be recommended by the entourage... Cross the river!"

"What's the difference between crossing this time and crossing tomorrow morning?" Zhao Jiu, who was riding on the horse, smiled.

"Why send a messenger forward and inform Taiwei Zhang." Fan Zongyin, a fellow Hanlin scholar who was accompanying him, also immediately pleaded.

"It's not going to an enemy territory!" Zhao Jiu still smiled. "I'm walking on my own country, do I still have to report it?"

"Officials, let's have fewer soldiers." Even Liu Yan, who had never spoken much before, couldn't help moving forward. "You might as well let Yue Jiedu behind him send Gao Yuan's army to the official house..."

"This is even more of a joke, in this country, where the imperial army is densely stationed, do I have to guard against anyone?" Zhao Jiu still smiled at Yan Yan.

At this time, even the somewhat embarrassed Ninbaozhong and the somewhat confused Lu Benzhong could not wait any longer, and they stepped forward to prepare to persuade.

But Zhao Jiu obviously made up his mind. He immediately waved his hand and broke the layer of window paper: "You think too much... I and Mr. Zhang, where are you as serious as you think? The embarrassment that day on Huai. After he stood firm, I regarded him as a confidant. Now when I go to see him, I also have my own verbal communication. Where can you interrupt?"

Everyone didn't dare to persuade each other.

And Zhao Jiu did not hesitate, but took the lead, boarded the bridge and crossed the river, and stayed on the other side of the river that night.

The next day, Zhao Guan’s family dropped their pawns and most of the civil servants, assembled 700 cavalry, and galloped southeast. After arriving in Linzi in the morning, they rested for a while, and after they made a leap in Linzi city, Wang Yan and Wang Yan were left behind. Nippon Tada and some of the imperial squad entangled in the barracks here, and then only led Wubaiqi away with Liu Yan, the most trusted one.

In the evening, they finally arrived at Yidu, the capital of Qingzhou. This place was where Zhang Jun and his army headquarters were stationed. It was not until this time that Zhao Jiu ordered the ceremonial battle to be released together with the previously put away Long Yu and Black and White Er Niu Yu.

Moreover, the soldiers stationed in Qingzhou are of course the veterans of Zhang Jun’s imperial right army, that is, the so-called imperial veterans. They are not unfamiliar with the official Zhao’s family, and they are even more familiar with Longzhu, and the black and white two buns have also passed It is widely known in newspapers.

Therefore, as soon as the honor guard came out, the middle part of the Tianshi stationed outside the city of Qingzhou, in a panic, ordered all the soldiers to leave the camp without authorization, and gathered a few commanders to chase after the Dazhen in a hurry.

When Master Tian came close, he saw that it was Yuqian Banzhi and Zhao Guanjia who were infallible. He was completely panicked, but he could only kowtow to the side of the road to greet him.

"Where is Boying?"

At this time, Zhao Jiu still looked relaxed. "Tian Qing leads the way, don't disturb the people."

Tian Shizhong became more and more at a loss, but at this time he did not dare to have any extra words. He just acted on orders and led the way to Zhang Jun’s mansion. As a result, he first met Zhang, who was stationed in the city and worked as an imperial officer. Zi Gai later met Zhang Jun himself, who hurried out to welcome him. But when the emperor and his ministers met, they just greeted casually on the side of the road, and then Zhao Guanjia still said that, only letting them lead the way to Zhang Mansion.

The Zhang family mansion occupies a huge area. It is obviously an old house of local high-ranking officials and nobles. It was given to him by Zhang Jun in the midst of the war... There is nothing to say about this kind of thing... But Zhao Jiu entered the hall and took a seat directly in the hall, headed by Zhang Boying. , Together with Tian Shizhong, Zhang Zigai and other military officials, naturally they knelt down one after another and saluted again in the hall.

This time, the Zhao official’s family was not in a hurry to get these people up, but smiled right in the hall: "How is it, Boying? Did I scare you this time? Was there any surprise in Cai Chengzhong that day?"

Zhang Jun raised his head on the ground and smiled bitterly for a while: "The official came here by night and went straight into the minister's bedroom. It's different in the end."

"Right?" Zhao Jiu seemed to smile.

"But the minister is still scared." Zhang Jun immediately lowered his head. "Officials... But about Zhang Zongyan's affairs, did the officials make the officials angry?"

"Not angry." Zhao Jiu thought for a while, earnestly. "I'm really not angry, or I'm not angry enough... Boying, think about it, I'm really angry, I'm already on the side of the road, let your son-in-law and your nephew, one hold your left hand and the other hold your right hand ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Why did you come all the way into your house and tell you about Cai with a smile?"

The quietness in the hall can hear even the needle hits the ground.

"Let's set a banquet!" Zhao Jiu thought about it again, and suddenly sent an order. "Last time I didn’t eat your family’s banquet, but today, during the Great Twelfth Lunar New Year’s day, I was really hungry and hungry. I was about to taste the freshness of Qilu’s New Year dishes... Don’t call others, local magistrate There is no need to call, just let's four or five, have a banquet in the hall, and have a good chat."

"The minister will follow the order!" Zhang Jun was relieved.

It's a banquet, but everyone knows that trying to put out the kind of running water table that Zhang Jun made in the capital is no different from nonsense. Moreover, it is still in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and even a green dish is rare.

However, at Zhang Jun's house, there are always some sauces such as **** black beans, green vegetables in the cellar, fresh seafood, and local beef, sheep, pig, chicken, duck and goose.

Moreover, not to mention the fact that the accompanying cavalry had a rare gluttonous meal outside. He only said that there was only a table of five people on the main hall. Zhang Jun carefully arranged it and toasted a few drinks in person. Seeing that the official came, he refused, but It was finally tentatively opening the topic again:

"Did the official family not bring any attendants?"

Zhao Jiu hurriedly swallowed a meatball and raised his hand to signal: "I brought a few, but here I met Zhang Qing, it was useless to bring them, so I put them all behind."

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly: "The officials are considerate to the ministers, and the ministers are grateful."

"About Zhang Zongyan, tell me the truth, did you know it before?" Zhao Jiu suddenly twisted his hair and asked.

PS: Thank you for the eighth cuteness of maybe the future boss, and thank you for the first cuteness of former Qihai classmate, this is the 151st cuteness of this book!
