"Ridiculous, compared to your life, a horse is a fart, don't lose a big one because of a small one. You have to bring back as many of my soldiers as possible, many of them will enter the new army of your own officer to take official positions, if you lose them all, you will not come back to see this official at all. ”

Hong Tao is eager for a large number of war horses, but he doesn't want to exchange them for special forces. If the children's league and youth league are their long-term future, then these special forces are their short-term future.

In the words of later generations, these soldiers were piled up with money, and just one piece of equipment was worth the cost of three forbidden armies, and the daily food and drink were comparable to those of engineers, and the accumulated experience was not comparable to ordinary armies.

"Your Excellency's New Army...... The last general didn't quite understand, could it be that the imperial court was going to send troops to Huangzhou? Who is the commander of the army? "Jiang Erlang is very wary of the imperial court, and he has a lot of worries at the slightest disturbance.

"There are not so many soldiers in the imperial court to throw them in this broken place, and this official wants to turn the box service in Huangzhou into soldiers, and then add some of Miao Kui's personal servants and your special forces as the backbone, which is not necessarily worse than the forbidden army. In the future, the new army will be responsible for the battles out of the customs, and the old, weak, sick and disabled in the forbidden army and the box service will be responsible for guarding their homes, what do you think? ”

Since the box service can be trained as a special soldier, there is no reason why it cannot be trained as a combat soldier. It's okay if the elimination rate is high, their number is large, and the court is not distressed at all when they are consumed. Now there are still three or four months before the beginning of spring, and it is too late to grasp the point.

"Your Excellency wants to change the military system! This is absolutely unacceptable, that Wang Jian Jun is in Huangzhou City, it is impossible for him not to know about such a big event, once he reports to the official's family, the adult is a serious crime! ”

These words not only did not make Jiang Erlang happy, but frightened him. Even if he has never been an official again, he knows what the imperial court's attitude towards the military system is based on his experience in the forbidden army, and he can't touch this thing.

"Hey, hey, hey...... If it had been placed a few months ago, no matter how bold the official was, he would not have touched the military system. But now it's different, Huangzhou has become His Majesty's special military zone, do you know what a special zone is? It's a special area where you don't have to follow the rules to do everything. Hong Tao understood Jiang Erlang's worries very well, but a court official document sent from Huangzhou a few days ago completely relieved this concern.

This official letter was issued by the Privy Council, which established the special military status of Huangzhou. Since then, it has been under the dual leadership of the Privy Council and the General Staff, independent of any Lujun state, and can be regarded as a pilot in the new policy reform of Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi.

When Hong Tao saw this official document, the expression on his face was not to mention how strange it was, like laughing and crying. The laughing thing is that Wang Anshi is definitely not willing to make Huangzhou independent and become the emperor's right category, but with the staff in front, this experimental mode cannot be avoided, and it is not suitable to try it in other places.

Crying is that he has obtained a relatively loose base for development, but he has awakened a big tiger from the emperor's heart. As long as the power gadgets are addicted to people, Emperor Shenzong is not a saint, and the ultimate goal of his doing this is not to conduct special zone experiments, but to seize military power!

If he really succeeds, then the Northern Song Dynasty may become a military power, or it may not be as good as it is now. The work of dictatorship is a complete double-edged sword, and if it is played well, it can quickly increase the national strength, because there is no second voice for the unified thinking of the whole country, and the implementation efficiency is very high.

But high efficiency is not necessarily a good thing, in case you go in the wrong direction, the higher the efficiency, the more unlucky, you can't change it. Because there is no second voice, whoever dares to oppose will be destroyed first, and will not wake up until he hits the south wall. Looking back, well, the efficiency is really high, this road is too far wrong, and I really can't go back in a few decades.

"Sometimes what the ancients said doesn't seem to be right, such as the saying that the outside must be safe first, if it is placed at this moment, it will be a bit of a problem." Hong Tao was very conflicted in his heart, he wanted to let the New Deal reform of the Northern Song Dynasty go smoothly, but he also didn't want Emperor Shenzong to monopolize power.

If these two choices were just in front of him, he would be able to reconcile them more freely, but the problem was that the Northern Song Dynasty not only had deep internal contradictions, but also more terrible external pressures. At this time, he couldn't think of a way to get the best of the three, so he could only protect one first, stabilize one, and give up one.

Who's going to protect it? Thinking about it, the external pressure is more fatal, no matter how chaotic the internal is, the threat from the north must be eliminated first. At this time, it is not possible to settle down first, because it takes a lot of time to settle down internally, and if it drags on for ten or eight years, the pattern of war will change again, and it is very passive.

Who's going to be sure? is naturally his eldest brother, and without his support, there is no room for his own play.

At this time, Hong Tao somewhat understood Wang Anshi's feelings at the beginning, and he also erected the banner of reform with the support of the emperor, but there must be friction between him and the emperor. If you play this kind of thing well, it is a win-win situation, and if you don't play well, it is that the rat drills the bellows and gets angry at both ends, and Zhu Bajie is not a person inside and outside the mirror!

Who will give it up? Abandon internal unity. To put it bluntly, they no longer deal with the disputes between the old and new parties, and even have to use their relationships to control themselves and reduce pressure.

This is politics, a year ago Hong Tao was still a staunch reformer, but with the passage of time and changes in the situation, he had to temporarily give up his own ideas, go against his ideals, and do some things against his will, and he had to do his best to do a good job.

This is also the politicians, if they have a conscience, ideals, and ethics, can they play this fickle game of constant compromise? The ancients shouted and shouted one line at a time, and if politicians did not abandon these moral constraints, they would be disrespectful.

What is the Special Administrative Region and what is the imperial power, Jiang Erlang doesn't quite understand, and he doesn't want to figure it out, as long as Lord Shuai Si says it, it must be done, and if it is not done, it must be done.

He enjoyed this kind of life very much, and all the policies, logistics, personnel, and operational plans were pondered by reliable people, and he only had to train the combat personnel, put forward the feasibility of the plan, and then implement it according to the pre-established procedures to achieve victory. This is the way of getting along with literati and martial artists, and everyone is comfortable.

Hong Tao is actually very uncomfortable, because he is very busy, not busy playing, but working. The battle is over for the time being, and the rout is almost cleared, and the Xia people should not come back to retaliate before spring.

Even if a deserter ran back to report the battle to the Western Xia court like Gao Yu, they would not be able to dispatch too many troops for the time being, because it was winter.

So what's there to keep up with? Tiansha Temple, Zhu Bajin pulled all the raw materials and equipment in Tiansha Temple to Mawei City with a sleigh, because the Tiansha Temple in Huangzhou was occupied by the new horse bearer Wang Zhongzheng.

He didn't come to office alone, he took his family and family with him. There was no suitable mansion in Huangzhou City, and Hong Tao was not there, and no one could approve the money and food to build a new house for him, so this large courtyard, which was very quiet, tidy, and very close to the city, became a thorn in the side.

The most important thing is that this courtyard is not registered, it is not counted as the private property of the pacification envoy, nor is it in the name of the Huangzhou Yamen, and no one has been in or out all day, so Wasp and Liu Song cannot find a suitable reason to prevaricate.

Since he didn't see the horse, Wang Jianjun was already very unhappy, and kept saying that he wanted to go to Mawei City to meet the chief official. The people who stayed in Huangzhou City felt that if Lord Shuai Si was allowed to see this overseer, Bao Buqi would make him disappear out of thin air.

For the sake of the overall situation, everyone simply made the decision for Shuai Si, sent the courtyard to the prison army, which was considered to ease the relationship, and then loaded all the things inside and transported them to Mawei City.

"He just asked for the house, and didn't point fingers at the new Huangzhou policy?" Hong Tao does not have absolute requirements for where the Tiansha Temple is located, in fact, Mawei City is more suitable for chemical experiments. What he is worried about is that Wang Zhongzheng is testing his bottom line, and asking for the house is only the first step.

"This person is not as good as Miao Kui, he is very urban, and he will not act rashly until he understands everything. I think it's better to find a way to get rid of it, so as not to make him mislead in the ears of the official. "Zhu Bajin has lived long enough, and he has also seen the world in Kaifeng City, and his understanding of officials is different from Jiang Erlang's, but the opinions he gives are the same.
