After the Chongzheng Hall summoned the right, the Zaifu returned to the political hall and began to discuss the problems that Wuhao Gu had given them.

"The overall situation of the Western Army and the Shuofang Army has finally been decided, and the imperial court has eleven more elite generals, as well as four thousand knights, Wu Chongdao still has merit." Su Zhe sat on the top of the seat, holding a tea bowl in his hand, and talked eloquently. "Since there is merit, it must be rewarded according to the discretion."

There is also a Shaanxi transfer envoy Su Chi who sorted out the Western Army with Wu Haogu, he is Su Zhe's eldest son! With this credit, it is only a matter of time before Xuan Ma pays homage to the prime minister...... So when Su Zhe says good things about Wu Haogu now, he is praising his son.

"Promoted him to be the envoy of Hebei Fifth Road, is it a reward?" Zhang Shangying took a sip of Yunwu fragrant tea, "If it's not enough, you can play the Son of Heaven and give Wu Chongdao a festival to stay." ”

He paused, and then said: "It's also a shame that we Zai Fu value him as a martial artist, but he doesn't appreciate it at all, and he gives us all the problems." ”

In fact, their gang of rulers were quite polite to Wu Haogu, and the little things that Wu Haogu did, according to the standards of a great Song military attaché, can be said to be extremely domineering. If you are caught and go to Yushitai to drink chicken soup, you can't call it wronged! Charging a crime of rebellion can't be regarded as unwarranted!

However, Su Zhe and Zhang Shangying were suppressed, and they did not want to beat Wu Haogu to death, and they also gave him a big-looking Hebei Xuanfu envoy. And Wu Haogu didn't know how to be grateful, which in turn caused a big problem for the political hall.

If Han Qi, Han Wei, and Wang Quan had knowledge, they would definitely complain about the incompetence of this civil official!

However, Su Zhe did not intend to push the matter of the whole army outward.

Su Zhe shook his head: "The affairs of the whole army can't all rely on the martial artists, this matter should be the responsibility of the commanders and Caochen." If it becomes a common practice for the chief military aircraft to assume the responsibility of reorganizing the army, then won't the chief military aircraft have to overhead the commander? There are no such rules in this dynasty! ”

"What does Su Xianggong mean that we should take over the difficult questions thrown by Wu Chongdao?" Deng Xunwu shook his head and said, "But the forbidden army in Hedong, Gyeonggi, Jingdong, Jingxi and other places is not comparable to the Western Army, let alone the Shuofang Army, how to organize it?" ”

"Ahem!" Zhao Tingzhi coughed a few times, "He Wu Chongdao can pick up the mess in Hebei, so we can't find someone to pick up the stalls in Hedong, Gyeonggi, Jingdong, and Jingxi?" If we can't pick it up, then he may also push Hebei Xuanfu. ”

If Wu Haogu pushed Hebei Xuanfu, Zhao Ji would definitely not let him stay at home and eat old rice, and maybe he would have to return to Beijing to be the military plane...... Staying around the official family all day long and bewitching is harmful to both the country and the people.

"But who can take over the stalls in Hedong, Gyeonggi, Jingdong, and Jingxi?" Liu Kuidao, who served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, said, "The Eastern Army is no better than the Western Army, and even Wu Chongdao himself did not dare to move the Kaifeng Forbidden Army that day, but started to train the 18,000 model new army." ”

The model new army in Kaifeng Prefecture is slightly different from the Shaanxi New Army and the Shuofang New Army, each general has one less cavalry battalion, only 4,500 soldiers, and four generals are 18,000 soldiers.

Counting these 4 generals, 6 generals in Shaanxi, and 5 generals in Shuofang, now the Great Song Dynasty has a new army of 15 generals, and there are more than 7,000 knights, and there are more than 80,000 soldiers in total, which is actually quite a lot.

Zhao Tingzhi sighed: "Wu Chongdao's means of reorganizing the army are also sharp enough, and more than 40 generals of the Western Army have been reduced and reorganized into six generals...... Even counting Shuofang's five generals, many generals of the Western Army have been absorbed, and there are only eleven generals left. What he can do in Shaanxi, can't we do it in Hedong and around Gyeonggi? ”

Liu Kui shook his head: "Not counting the Zhejia army, there are now twelve generals in Hedong, thirty-seven generals around Gyeonggi and Hebei, and thirteen generals in the sixth southeast road, a total of sixty-two generals, with an army of no less than 300,000!" In addition, there are more than 100,000 forbidden troops who are not generals, most of whom are also scattered in Hedong, Hebei, Gyeonggi, Jingdong, Jingxi and other places. If the land is given according to the standards of Shaanxi, 10,000 mu may not be enough...... Where can there be so much official land to give? ”

Zhao Tingzhi smiled: "You must give land?" ”

Liu Kui shook his head, "Giving land may not be able to lay off the more than 400,000 forbidden troops!" These people eat 20 million or 30 million a year, and eight out of ten still have a livelihood outside the barracks! How could 200 acres of land send them away?

Moreover, there are still many military attaches and junior military ministers in the more than 400,000 forbidden troops! Which officer with troops is not rich in oil and water? It's eating empty quotas again, and it's a conscription soldier, and everyone eats fat stomachs. ”

The matter of eating empty quotas is something that the Eastern Army and the Western Army have. However, the situation of the Eastern Army is even more serious, not to eat a vacancy of two or three percent, but to eat at least half! There are more than 400,000 forbidden troops on the books, but in fact, it would be good to have 200,000.

And most of the 200,000 forbidden troops have their own livelihoods, but they take turns to make trouble. And Ying Mao's forbidden army is not the same as training in the battalion, but will be driven by the officers to engage in business, which is called occupation. If you can really fight, I don't know if you can have 10,000?

Zhao Tingzhi just smiled, "But Wu Chongdao will have a way!" Since he has a way, can we just do it? ”

Su Zhe also guessed that Wu Haogu would have a way, he glanced at Zhao Ting, who was sick, and then turned to Zhang Shangying: "Tianjue, the matter of the whole army is indeed not to be paid to the martial arts. Now that Shaanxi and Shuofang have precedents, Hebei will soon begin. Hedong, Gyeonggi, Jingdong, Jingxi and Dongdong 6 Roads just do it. ”

"What Brother Ziyou said is very true, but who to use to reorganize the army still needs to be carefully considered." Zhang Shangying thought for a while, "The Kaifeng Forbidden Army will slow down first, and the Gyeonggi garrison will be a big matter, and the two governments should not interfere." However, Hedong is an important town, and if there is a Northern Expedition in the future, there will be a road to Hedong. There should be a steady and strategic Wenchen to serve as Xuanfu. ”

"Then who can go out of the town to the east of the river?" Su Zhe asked.

"How about the Guozi Priest's Wine Pottery Ceremony?" Zhang Shangying said, "Let Wang Zhengchen serve as the chief military aircraft of the Hedong Fourth Road, and it should be safe." ”

Now there are almost no civilian officials who can serve as generals in the DPRK and China, and Lu Huiqing is not old, and he can't enter the political hall, so he is so angry that he goes to the palace. Zhong Fu transferred his military qualifications, and now he is the commander of the Kaifeng New Army, and he is not considered a civilian official. Looking around, only Tao Jiefu and Zhang Shuye are more suitable, and Zhang Shuye is now in charge of the Military Machinery Division, and he can't leave at all. The only one who can go to Hedong Xuanfu is Tao Jiefu.

Su Zhe touched his beard and said, "Tao Zili and Wang Zhengchen should be able to ensure that they are safe." Now let's see what Wu Chongdao has to do? ”

……

"Brother Chongdao, can you really take care of those old soldiers in Hebei?"

"Da Lang, this errand is not easy to accept!"

"Teacher, are you thinking about ......?"

Outside the city of Kaifeng Mansion, in the official pavilion, Su Shi, Pan Xiao'an, Zhang Zeduan and others, who went out of the city to greet Wu Haogu, were all good at persuading Wu Haogu.

Su Shi is now an official of Jiehe Shang City, and he took the opportunity of escorting the Shengjurchen Gongma to Kaifeng Mansion - now the Shengjurchen Tribal Alliance and the Jiehe Shang City still maintain contact, and they will pay tribute and trade through the Jiehe Shang City every year. The tribute is mainly tribute horses, in fact, there are few Jurchen horses, and the quality is not as good as the three and four generations of horses in Jiehe. However, he was able to deceive a large number of rewards from Zhao Ji in a grand manner, and Mi Youren, Zhao Zhongge and Su Shi, who handled it, were also able to deceive the transfer of officials, and they were all really happy.

Pan Xiao'an's official position is also rising step by step, and now he has been appointed as the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple as the envoy of the Sifang Pavilion with rampant official rank - this is a fat shortage who manages Zhao Ji's private money!

Zhang Zeduan also had an official position, and Yidongtou was appointed as a doctor of painting in Qingcheng Academy, and he also continued to run the Oiran line. Although the official is not big, he is also full of friends in the officialdom of Kaifeng Mansion, and the news is very well-informed.

After listening to the advice of a few days, Wu Haogu just smiled bitterly, raised the tea bowl and took a sip of cloud tea. "It's not neat, it's all a commander, what's bad? The total five-way official army can be regarded as a prince. ”

"Da Lang," Pan Xiao'an was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wu Haogu, "You don't plan to reorganize the army?" If so, these five ways can also be done. ”

"It's not neat at all!" Wu Haogu shook his head, he knew that Pan Xiao'an and Su Shi were both here to find out for others.

He looked at Pan Xiao'an and Su Zhe, "A certain family is a minister, an official family is a king, and the king wants his ministers to sort out the Hebei Army, can a courtier do nothing?" ”

"Da Lang," Pan Xiao'an frowned, "Then you still have to sort out the Hebei Army?" ”

"A little bit of it." Wu Haogu smiled, "When the Northern Expedition to Yanyun comes to Japan, the Hebei Army must be the main force, and there must be some soldiers and horses who can support the façade, right?" The requirements of a certain are not high, and it is enough to have three elite soldiers. ”

The more you say this, the more outrageous it becomes! Pan Xiao'an said in his heart: Three elite soldiers survived 15,000, plus three or four thousand knights, plus a little utility soldier, and 30,000 elite soldiers will be able to reach the sky. Such a small soldier would dare to fight Yanyun?

Wu Haogu continued: "The Hebei Forbidden Army only has 112,000 on its books, and the three generals are only 15,000 soldiers, and if you count the auxiliary soldiers, it is only about 20,000, this is not a high requirement, right?" If you can give this face, you can get rid of it in the Northern Expedition in the future. ”

He wanted to pass the word to the generals who controlled the Hebei Forbidden Army's oil and water through Pan Xiao'an. He didn't go to Hebei much, so he made three generals, and the rest was still the territory where the big guys made a fortune.

And as long as everyone gives face, when the Northern Expedition to Yanyun comes to Japan, Wu Haogu will take the big guys to make meritorious contributions together.

"What about the remaining 100,000 Hebei forbidden troops?" Pan Xiao'an said, "It's still the same?" ”

"How about twenty?" Wu Hao Gudao, "How these twenty will be organized, it doesn't matter if the Military Machinery Division or the Hebei Xuanfu Division cares, it will be compiled by the Silu Shuaisi, the general manager, and the Xuanfu Division." That's all right, right? ”
