Zhao Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, but his face was not very good. He knew that in the past, the military generals were born as generals, secondly, they were reckless, and then they were from the low-level soldiers. The children of the generals are okay, and they can learn military skills through the words and deeds of their fathers and brothers. The other two types of generals either relied on their own bravery to kill with a knife and a shot, or they were recruited bandits, and most of their troops relied on personal experience and bravery, and they did not systematically study military knowledge.

The five forbidden armies that originally belonged to the Huguang Division, they were adapted from the forbidden army in front of the original palace, but the composition was more complicated. The commanders of the forbidden troops in front of the palace of the Song Dynasty were murdered by Chen Yizhong, and the main force either surrendered or dispersed in the battle against Mongolia, and was almost completely lost. Later, it was reorganized on the basis of the righteous army led by Jiang Wanzai, and the forbidden army in front of the palace at this time was based on the children of the Jiang family.

After that, in the process of protecting the exile of the Xing Dynasty, the forbidden army in front of the palace fought several fierce battles, and the troops were seriously damaged, and the Jiang family also suffered heavy casualties among the children of the 'Three Ancient Twelve Zhai'. Empress Dowager Yang deeply felt the loyalty of the Jiang family, and ordered the release of some of the Jiang family's children when the situation was the most difficult, so as not to cut off the Jiang family's incense, but it was still headed by the Jiang family's father and son.

In front of the apse, the forbidden army escorted the battle to continuously absorb the rebels from all over the country and the remnants of the Song army, and Jiang Wanzai also died to save the young emperor Zhao Yu who fell into the water, and the power to unify the army was also transferred to the hands of the Jiang brothers. However, under the joint suppression of Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie, it was also marginalized, and its strength declined, and its strength was no longer as good as that of the Huai Army led by Zhang Shijie.

After that, when Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne, Jiang Cheng still led the troops to escort him and support him to take the throne. After experiencing the Battle of Yashan, all the armies of the Xing Dynasty suffered heavy losses and had to go to Qiongzhou. Zhao Yu took the opportunity to reorganize the armies and set up the palace guards and the imperial guards on the basis of the Shuaifu army; The remnants of all the armies of the Xing Dynasty were incorporated into the forbidden army in front of the palace, and Zhang Shijie's forces were eliminated, and the righteous army was added, which was still led by Jiang Cheng.

In this way, the pattern of the new Song Army was established, whether it was changing the military horn or expanding and integrating, it has been maintained to this day. At present, the sixth, seventh, and eighth armies of the forbidden army participating in the war in Xiangyang are all subordinate to the forbidden army troops in front of the original palace, and although the three are not children of the Jiang family, they are all their old generals:

Pan Nian, the commander of the Sixth Army, was born in a military family, and his grandfather Pan Congyuan, who was proficient in martial arts and was an instructor in Jizhou; His father, Pan Tong, was the champion and the first in the Chunyou period, and served as a member of the Guangzhou Observation and Promotion Pavilion. Pan Nian practiced martial arts since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he had both civil and military skills, led the volunteers to Xiangshan to suppress Kou Gonggong, and was ordered to guard Nanao at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong, and was later incorporated into the forbidden army in front of the palace.

When the Yuan army approached Taishan, more than 8,000 volunteers were organized from the countryside, and 7,000 stones of grain were transported to Yashan, and the army was raised to defend the king of Qin. Later, he performed very well in the Battle of Yashan, accompanied the dynasty to Qiongzhou, and was incorporated into the forbidden army in front of the palace and became one of the backbone forces. Wu Longqi was entrusted with the position of commander as the leader, and with the expansion of more than ten years, he also became the official of the capital. However, although he has read for a few days, he does not know much about literacy.

Zhang Ba, the commander of the Eighth Army, was the former department of Zhang Shijie's Huai Army, who was once the commander under his command and his cronies. In the Battle of Yashan, many Huai generals were either killed or defected to the enemy army in the case of repeated defeats, and Zhang Ba survived. After arriving in Qiongzhou, Zhang Shijie's military power was seized, and the remnants were incorporated into the forbidden army in front of the palace, and he asked Zhao Hao to treat his subordinates well, and he pardoned the capital crimes of a group of rebel generals, and Zhang Ba retained his official position. He is an officer from the bottom of the soldiers, and there is not much ink in his stomach.

The quality of officers was low and they lacked military literacy, which were also common phenomena in the army at that time, so before the Song army was fully equipped with firearms, Zhao Yu took this problem into account, and he knew that the alternation of hot and cold weapons was not only the change of weapons, but also the comprehensive reform from the establishment of troops to combat methods and military thinking, strategy, and tactics. Therefore, new training camps and various professional training courses have been set up, and middle and senior officials have been organized to participate in training in the hope that they will be able to adapt to the new situation as soon as possible.

In addition, Zhao Yu also recompiled the "Code of Conduct" applicable to military generals at all levels, and these manuals were distributed to officers at the corresponding level, which included everything from how to organize training and combat, to marching and camping, and even to how much space a soldier occupies when arranging a formation, how many meters should be separated between soldiers, how many people should be in a phalanx, how much space should be occupied by a phalanx, how much space should be spaced between phalanxes, and how to move in order to change formations as quickly as possible when changing formations.

The "Code of Conduct" is not static, because Zhao Yu is also exploring and summarizing experience, and will re-compile it every year, delete and modify inappropriate clauses, and add new content. In addition, when there was no war, he asked officers at all levels to sum up, discuss their gains and losses, write down their experiences, select and compile distinctive combat examples from them, compile them into a book, and distribute them to various departments.

The reason why Zhao Hao spent a lot of energy to do this was because considering that the quality of generals in the army was uneven, and the organization and command of operations were inseparable from solid mathematical calculations, and the various numbers involved already made people's scalps tingle. Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is really impossible to calculate these results in such a tense situation without superhuman psychological qualities.

That's why Zhao Yu came up with a simple and easy 'fool' method, even if the generals have a poor foundation, as long as they pay attention to learning, they can get started quickly. And he also practiced it, not only personally teaching the guard battalion around him to read and write, but also requiring the soldiers of the imperial guard army to also be literate and hyphenation, and know basic arithmetic. As soon as the army settled down, it began to use the evenings to hold night schools and write its own teaching materials to teach the soldiers the basics.

Therefore, the imperial army has always had a strong learning atmosphere, and the armies that were reorganized from the former marshal's army have also maintained this tradition, and many people have been able to read and hyphenate characters, write military documents, be proficient in the four arithmetic, be able to read pictures and drawings, and have already possessed the basic qualities of becoming officers. This not only laid the foundation for the training of reserve officers, but also improved the quality of the entire contingent......

Now, if it is really as Sun Kai said, then there is really a problem in the departments under the jurisdiction of the former Huguang Division, and the senior officers do not pay attention to study, and they are still eating their old books and not knowing how to make progress. But the officers are the soul of a unit, they are all messing around, and the low-level soldiers are no better, I am afraid that they only want to finish their service and go home alive.

At present, the Jiangdong armies are marching fast, connecting important towns, and even recovering Nanjing Yingtianfu, but they are lingering in Xiangyang, there is no hope of reward, and promotion is also slim, which will inevitably lead to low morale. And this will make the middle and lower-level officers in various ministries complain, feel that there is no hope, want to be transferred back to Jiangdong to serve, and some even apply for early retirement.

"How did Jiang Zhishuai bring the team like this?" Zhao Hao sighed after being silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the war in Jingxiang is deadlocked, the generals are negative, and Jiang Zhishuai is hard to blame, but he also has bitter intentions." Wang Yinglin said on the side.

"I have never lost money and food for them, and the uniforms and equipment have been allocated on time and in quantity, and the rewards have been as usual. Local affairs are also in his charge, and as long as he submits and never rejects the selection of officials, what is his trouble. Zhao Yu was very puzzled when he heard this.

"It is precisely because of Your Majesty's favor that Jiang Zhishuai is more and more frightened, lest he lose His Majesty." Wang Yinglin replied.

"Oh, Your Majesty, your subordinates have forgotten something, so let's retreat first and make some arrangements!" Sun Kai heard the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers, but he was on pins and needles, he knew that this had already involved the struggle within the court, and it was not something he could participate in, nor could he observe, so he found an excuse.

"Well, there you go!" Zhao Yu thought about it and waved his hand indifferently.

"Subordinates retire!" After Sun Kai saluted the emperor and the king, he jumped out of the car without waiting for the car to stop, did not say a word, just nodded to Ni Liang, who was guarding the guard, and rode away on the war horse led by his own soldiers.

"Could it be that there are people in the DPRK who criticize it?" Zhao Yu raised his eyes to look at Wang Yinglin and frowned.

"It is true that some people are talking in private, saying, 'Brother enters the phase, and Brother is modest', which is a sign of internal chaos in the country!" Wang Yinglin groaned slightly.

"Nonsense, the three generations of the Jiang family are loyal and good, how can they have the heart of rebellion, and they should be punished!" Zhao Yu listened to the case and shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty......"

"Whoever Your Majesty wants to punish, his subordinates will behead him!" Hearing the emperor slap the table and curse, Ni Liang immediately jumped into the car, lifted the curtain and looked at Wang Yinglin.

"I ...... I'm not going to kill anyone now, you step aside! He suddenly came in, startled Zhao Hao, and scolded with a smile.

"Yes!" Ni Liang responded to the knife and shabbed back, and said to the coachman, "You go down, I'll drive!" ”

"Ni Dutong is really loyal to His Majesty!" Wang Yinglin was not lightly frightened, wiped the sweat on his head and cried and laughed.

"This fool is blind and nervous, which makes Wang Xiang frightened!" Zhao Yu poured tea for Wang Yinglin, sighed lightly and recalled, "When the imperial brother died, I went to succeed to the throne alone, and Jiang Zhishuai was holding a war knife in front of my door day and night to prevent the villain from harming me. ”

"When the Jiang family overthrew our dynasty, the whole family went to the disaster, more than 100 people died in one family, and hundreds of people in the sect, this loyalty can be said to be unheard of." Zhao Yu took a sip of tea, eased his emotions and said, "When Jiang Xiang was at his most weak, he was ordered by the Queen Mother to enter the palace and take on the responsibility of teaching. Thousands of difficulties and dangers, bullets and bullets, never give up; Jiang Zhishuai's contribution to the escort will not be said much, and his troops fought a bloody battle with Meng Yuan, risking his life to protect the safety of the dynasty. After that, he led the troops to repel the attack on Qiongzhou several times, marched into the battle of Jiangnan, led the army to recover Huguang, and defended Jinghu, with outstanding achievements. If their brothers want to be rebellious, why wait until today! ”

"What Your Majesty says is from the bottom of your heart, but Your Majesty's grace is sometimes an unbearable weight for your subordinates!" Wang Yinglin said......
