The most suitable person to serve as a model military management army general is indeed Wu Haogu!

Wu Haogu is not a general, nor is he a member of the old forbidden army system, he is actually the first person to use the new government army, and he also founded the military system. And his rank is enough, now he is the defense envoy of the main official, enough to take on any military position, and in the end he has also been on the battlefield. It does meet all the conditions listed by Cai Jing......

It's just that Wu Haogu himself is willing to jump into this pit?

If he jumps, waiting for the next year when the world's soldiers will be on the bus, he, the bare-pole management army (there is a process for the establishment of the model army, and it is impossible to immediately become the strength of Wu Haogu), can only step down.

In contrast, it was safer for him to stay in Jiehe Commercial City. The emperor is far away, and he still has some strength in his hands, and no one can do anything about him. Even if Zhao Ji abolished the right list of Jinshi and banned the empirical pseudo-science, he would not use force to the last root of the ancient world. Not only could he not touch him, but he had to be appeased, lest he take Jiehe Shang City and Yuntai Xue Palace to join the Great Liao Kingdom......

Therefore, Cai Jing calculated that Wu Haogu was unwilling to leave Jiehe Commercial City easily when the voices of the world's scholars opposed positivist falsification, so he drew a line according to Wu Haogu's conditions.

Wu Haogu didn't dare to come, and Gao Yu couldn't come either-Gao Yu was the commander of the Northwest Third Road, an official at the level of Zaizhi, and he was also a privy secretary when he entered Beijing, how could he be a new army manager? As for a eunuch like Tong Guan, it is impossible to be the manager of the army stationed in Beijing, this is the ancestral system!

Wu Haogu, Gao Yu, and Tong Guan didn't do it, and of course other senior military attachés wouldn't do it. This is not an ordinary offense! And they can't do it either.

Zhao Ji probably also knew that Wu Haogu was unlikely to lose the fat shortage of the coastal city and come to Kaifeng Mansion to be the manager of this offended person. After thinking about it, he asked: "If he refuses to be the manager of the model army, who else can take over?" ”

"This ......" Cai Jing showed a contemplative expression, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't give an answer. It was his younger brother Cai Bian who came up with an idea, "Your Majesty, to be a model army, you must not only have been on the battlefield, but also have a certain rank, and the most important thing is that you must be proficient in the military books compiled by the Yuntai Academy, such as "Infantry Studies", "Cavalry Studies", "Baggage Studies", and "Tactical Theory".

There may be many courtiers who have been on the battlefield and have high enough rank, but there are not many high-ranking officials who are proficient in these recruit books. Therefore, the minister proposed that the officials in Beijing who were interested in learning the recruit book should go to the accelerated martial arts school, so that His Majesty could choose a suitable army manager. ”

This is tailor-made conditions for Zhong Fu. Those who are in Beijing are enough high-level officials to be in charge of the army, and they only go to study in accelerated martial arts after they have eaten up!

The military attaches in Beijing who can be in charge of the army are almost the same as Pan Xiao'an, either big capitalists or big artists, they can't fight wars or anything, and they don't want to learn...... It is very likely that in the end, only Zhong Fu, a loyal and patriotic loyalist, signed up, and finally volunteered to transfer military resources.

In this way, Zhao Ji had no choice, so he had to let Zhong Fu be the manager of the model army.

"Good!" Zhao Ji nodded, "Just according to what Cai Qing said."

After the formation of the accelerated martial arts school was completed, an edict was issued to let the officials in Beijing sign up for the school. ”

……

Just when the two brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian stepped into the trap laid by Wu Haogu and Zhang Dian step by step, they didn't know it. As an international traitor who framed Zhongliang, Wu Haogu was busy with the major matter of helping the Japanese people to progress at this time.

Muto Kinichi, who hadn't seen the lord for a long time, was finally recruited to the Grand Master Hall on the fourth floor of the Doctor's Regiment Building in the Jiehe Yuntai School Palace, and met the lord Takeshi Koko.

"Your Majesty, see the lord!"

In the audience room of the Grand Master's Office, Muto Kinichi, who had changed into a Confucian costume and changed his hairstyle to a Chinese-style bun, was kneeling on a futon and bowing to Wu Haogu, who also knelt on the top.

"Kiss one," Wu Haogu looked at the retainer below who he hadn't seen for a long time and was almost unrecognizable, and said warmly, "Just a few days ago, the 2,000-strong army of the Goryeo Kingdom captured Tsushima Island. ”

"Nani?" Muto was stunned one by one, and immediately reacted, "These damn Han Kou!" Lord, Abidier's house is not ...... Perished? ”

Wu Hao Gu said: "According to the envoy sent by Su Zhongnan from the deprivation, after the Abidliu family handed over the manor on the island, the Ju clan retreated to Hakata by boat, and the casualties were not very large. ”

Of course, Abidliu's family would not have died for his lord casually like the later Japanese samurai. Because they were not really samurai, and they didn't have a lord who could serve death in the true sense of the word.

Today, Japan has not yet established a samurai system, and is still at the end of the minister's politics. The so-called "samurai" were some of the military attaches (high-ranking samurai) of the imperial court, such as the northern samurai, who were directly under Emperor Shirakawa. However, most of the samurai came from the Shotou family of the Jijin manor.

In order to avoid taxes, conscription, and military service from the imperial court, local tyrants in various parts of Japan "dedicated" their land and peasants to the magnates, temples, and shrines in exchange for the privilege of "not losing or entering". In other words, it was the local tyrants who paid the powerful in exchange for protection, rather than the powerful giving land in exchange for the samurai's allegiance.

Under this system, it was unrealistic to expect the Abidlius to die for the sake of the higher-ranking magnates – if these local tycoons were willing to die for their nominal masters (usually ministers), there would be no later samurai era.

Therefore, in the face of overwhelming superiority, it is understandable that the Abidiliu family chose to flee.

Wu Haogu looked at Muto Jinichi, who frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, "Qinyi, the army of the Goryeo Kingdom is going to Tsushima Island on a warship provided by the Coastal City Shipping Division!" ”

Muto was stunned again, "Lord, why is this?" ”

"Naturally, it was to promote the founding of Japan!" Wu Haogu raised his voice and said sternly, "Japan has closed itself to the country for 200 years, and in these 200 years, Japan has not only been arrogant and arrogant, thinking that it is the superior country of the Celestial Empire, but also refusing to accept the Confucian teachings of Tianli, self-denying China, and being willing to be a barbarian. The Japanese magnates took the good words and persuasion of the doctors' group as a whisper, and even refused to allow the envoys of the doctor's group to go to Heiankyo to meet the emperor.

Shouldn't such a foolish person be beaten and deterred? ”

"What the lord said is very true!" Muto didn't dare to contradict the lord Wu Haogu, so he hurriedly bowed down and said yes.

Wu Haogu nodded and looked at Muto, "Kiss, since you also agree with me, then you are willing to go to Hakata to open a academy and recruit disciples as a doctor of preaching, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is willing." Muto Michi, "It's just that Dazaifu will agree to us spreading Confucian tenyu in Kyushu?" ”

Wu Haogu sneered: "Han Kou is so big, do you still dare to resist the Great Song Dynasty?" I think that the White River Emperor is not so mediocre, right? ”

He paused, "And the Japanese don't know that the Koreans went to Tsushima Island on the warships of the Great Song Dynasty!" After you go to Japan, you must not divulge this matter. ”

"Whoa!"

Wu Haogu nodded again, "Okay, then tomorrow will hold a ceremony for you to complete your studies and join the group, from tomorrow, you are not only my retainer, but also a doctor of preaching in the doctoral group, you must keep in mind the mission, and take it as your life to spread the principles of heaven in all directions." ”

Muto promantle once again bowed to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty deserves to die for the Doctor's Regiment!" ”

……

After Wu Chengjiu took him out of the Grand Master's Office, Yelu Dashi, Xiao Tieniu and Han Dagou, who had already become doctors, walked into the audience room.

"Student Yelu Dashi, meet the teacher."

"Doctor Xiao Tieniu, meet the Grand Master."

"Dr. Han Dagou, meet the Grand Master.

After the three of them finished saluting, they knelt in front of Wu Haogu in a row, and Yelu Dashi sat in the middle. Wu Haogu looked at this young doctor, who was already tall and burly, with angular facial features, "Dashi, I heard that you want to go back to Liao Country to take the Jinshi exam?" ”

"The student does have this idea," Yelu Dashi replied, "after all, the student is the eighth grandson of Emperor Taizu of the Great Liao, and at the same time, the student also wants to take the opportunity to spread the great avenue of his teacher to the Great Liao. ”

Wu Haogu's "Dao" had actually spread in the Great Liao, but it was mainly spread in the Nanjing Dao, which was adjacent to the Jiehe Shang City, and not many people knew about the Confucian positivist school in other parts of the Great Liao.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, Wu Haogu was not keen on "preaching" in the territory of Liao; On the other hand, the learning of the Positivists was mainly for the service of industry and commerce, and was not very attractive to nomads, semi-nomads, and small and medium-sized landowners.

In addition, Buddhism, which was very powerful in the Liao State, also became an obstacle to the spread of Positivist Confucianism.

At the same time that Wu Haogu's "Empirical Theory" and "Theory of Rationality" could not be widely disseminated in the Liao State, the art of war of the Yuntai Academy Palace was also not valued by the Liao State. This is what Yelu Dashi is really worried about - Da Liao is too confident in his own force, and he can't see the "military revolution" that is taking place in the Song Dynasty. In the long run, the national fortunes of Daliao may come to an end.

"Bu Dao Yu Liao's idea is good," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "but you are not yet 20 years old, even if you are a jinshi and get an official position, how much power can you have?" Moreover, preaching does not rely on power, but on fame. If you can have the prestige of sounding the grassland desert, you can naturally attract the attention of the Great Liao Emperor. Now there's a chance for you to make a name for yourself, do you want it? ”

"The teacher wants his disciples to join the Anxi Great Sect?" Yelu Dashi asked uncertainly.

"Yes!" Wu Hao Gudao, "What you are really good at is military science, if you go to Anxi, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself and become a generation of famous generals." At that time, the Great Liao Emperor will hire you to enter the court as a national scholar, and you are still worried that you will not be able to show your strengths? ”
