In the first year of the Great Song Dynasty, the eighth day of the first month.

In the northwest of Kaifeng Fucheng, the camp of Mu Daogang, in the school field, the tiger is like a forest.

More than 18,000 model soldiers of the New Army, wearing Fan Yang hats and neat red battle jackets, stood silently. 36 battalion phalanxes, 144 squad horizontal formations (4 columns of horizontal formations). formed a perfect lineup, as strict as a knife chopping an axe.

One team leader, one escort team, and four fire captains of each team all stood at the head of the platoon, polished and shiny, and the Jiehe Gang armor reflecting the sunlight was worn on their bodies, like six steel statues, and they didn't move.

Not to mention whether these more than 18,000 people can fight, but this kind of queuing up and slaughtering momentum has already surpassed the Kaifeng Forbidden Army.

And the Kaifeng Forbidden Army is an army that has been in a professional queue for decades, and it is impossible to fight, and it is good to line up and pretend to be elite.

However, compared with the current new army, which has been formally established for less than a year and a considerable number of soldiers have only been in the army for two months, the gap is quite obvious.

In front of the phalanx, there was a square platform made of wood. The stage was empty, with only two officials, one civil and one military. The civilian official is Zhang Kegong, the superintendent of the model new army, and the military attache is Zhong Fu, the commander of the model new army.

The eyes of the two of them were staring at the army in front of them, and their brows were also furrowed.

Zhang Kegong frowned because this army violated the ancestral family law too much!

The inherent military system of the Great Song Dynasty was based on the principle of "generals do not know soldiers, and soldiers do not know generals". Theoretically, only a low-level commander can mingle with a soldier, while a senior general must keep a distance from the soldiers.

Now, however, through the implementation of the "military machine system," the model new army has completely opened up the generals, generals, and departments at all levels, down to the battalions, teams, and fire units, and has not only formed a system, but has also enabled a number of military personnel who have only been able to grasp a great deal of power.

At the military level of the Model New Army, there is a general military machine room, and there are military aircraft maintenance at the general level and military aircraft officers at the ministerial level, and these "military aircraft" are completely different from the "Jiyi script" known to Zhang Kegong. In addition to dealing with official documents, Jiyi Writing can only issue "praise and plan", and has no real power. The military apparatus of the Model New Army should be in charge of everything, in charge of operations, training, equipment, and food! There are almost nothing that cannot be managed by the "strategy" and "Jianbai" of the general army's engine room...... The orders of the generals of the unified army must also be conveyed to the military aircraft maintenance and military aircraft officers at the lower levels through the general army engine room. The edict of the imperial court must also be sent to the general army engine room through the military aircraft department of the capital.

That is, a group of low-level military attachés from the ninth rank are now actually in control of the model new army!

Although this arrangement is also in line with the principle of "size and size" in the Great Song Dynasty. However, this group of military Ji Yi, who were born in the right list of Jinshi, almost all of them studied at the Knight Academy under the Jiehe Yuntai Academy before high school.

This group of military attachés from the ninth rank who actually controlled the model new army are simply classmates from the same division!

In addition, there is a considerable part of the preparation generals (battalion officers) and deputy preparations, which are also from the Knight Academy.

If this group of low-level officers from the Knight Academy and who have passed the right list of jinshi conspire to make trouble, will they make a drama of yellow robes?

It's hard to say!

Just when Zhang Kegong saw through everything, Zhong Fu was having a headache because the armor of the model new army was not in place.

According to the "Organizational Strategy for the Model New Army" formulated by the Metropolitan Military Machinery Division, 18,000 of the model new army, which has a total strength of more than 23,000 troops, are soldiers, divided into four generals, 12 divisions, 36 battalions, and 144 teams. All infantry, no cavalry. And the 144 teams are all "pure teams", that is, teams equipped with a type of main battle weapon. Thirty-six teams were armed with spears, swords and shields, bows and arrows, and divine arms. All of the pikes and swords and shields are fully armoured, and the bows and arrows and divine arms are equipped with paper armor and iron skulls.

However, at present, only the Jiehe Gang Zizi armor assigned to officers above the team level (including the team) is all in place, and the other armor, paper armor, and scarf are not in place. None of the divine arm bows belonging to the crossbow fleet are in place. The infantry bows and feather arrows assigned to the archery corps have been issued, but they are of poor quality and cannot be used at all. The quality of the straight knife for the sword and shield team is also very worrying, and the vine shield is only given a third. Most of the spears of the spears rationed to the pikemen were also out of specification, the materials were sloppy, and the length was not uniform......

Nor were the pack horses, chariots, tents, and various equipment that should have been assigned to the auxiliaries.

For this reason, Zhong Fu not only reported to the Military Machinery Division, but also reacted directly to Zhao Ji through the secret text of the Imperial Medicine Institute. But it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.

Whining......

The military horn was given-just when Zhong Fu and Zhang Kegong were thinking about their own thoughts, the military horn suddenly sounded like a whimper. Then I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the flag gate on the side of the school field was wide open. A healthy horse came out first, and the horse's body of the horse's armor glittered in the sun, piercing people's eyes. Followed by a knight, dressed in black mountain leather armor, holding a recognition flag in one hand, with the four big characters "Chief Military Aircraft King" written on it.

It turned out to be the deployment officer of today's review, the model of the new army's chief military aircraft.

I only heard Wang Yu riding his horse and running around the military formation on the field, while shouting loudly: "The saint has arrived, the saint has arrived!" ”

The saint who arrived was Zhao Ji, and today's review was prepared for him!

As soon as Wang Yu shouted, the officers who led the team began to lead the mountain to shout long live, and then all the soldiers shouted together. With more than 18,000 mouths, the exhaled "Banzai, Banzai" was neatly like a person.

Obviously, this hand has also been practiced with great effort.

When the earth shook when the long live shouted that the mountains shook, the official Zhao Ji was already surrounded by a group of brightly armored generals and knights, riding a third-generation boundary hippopotamus, and came out from behind the flag gate with great ambition. He was followed by a group of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries.

The officials are frowning slightly, and most of the envoys are shaking their heads slightly-the Great Song Dynasty has become more and more disagreeable in recent years! If you don't do a good job of civil governance, why do you plunge headlong into the road of no return to the reckless army? In the past two years, the Western Xia had just been beaten into the Hexi Army, and this year it was tossed to fight the Black Khan Uighurs...... Not only did they have to fight the Black Khan Uighurs, but at the same time, there were also many sailors of the Song army on the sea. Encircle an island today, occupy a reef tomorrow, all say that it is an indivisible Chinese territory since ancient times! In a few days, we will have to fish for Shizi concessions on foreign territory, and all of them are great achievements!

What's even worse is that the good imperial examination also has a tendency to be broken, and last year's big competition took a group of unlearned people who were not good at writing articles (in fact, the article of the right list of Jinshi is also okay, and there are literature classes in the Yuntai Academy, but it can't reach the point where people applaud the case), which made Shilin resentful.

And the envoys of the Great Liao Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom, the Annan Kingdom, the Dali Kingdom, and a few envoys from the small states of Tubo saw the so-called elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty today, and the stones in their hearts also fell to the ground.

The Son of Heaven is in the army, and he can't even match the armor and equipment, and all of them are infantry, and none of them are riding horses. Such a lineup is much worse than in previous years.

It seems that if the Great Song Dynasty continues to toss like this, I am afraid that it will not be far from the death of the country......

By the way, those small states in Tubo originally had nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty, but after Hehuang was completely pacified, Wang Hou, who was so happy, sent envoys to send a batch of official letters from General Laoshizi and Jiedu envoys, so they all sent people to join in the fun this year.

……

Zhao Ji didn't feel that he was going to be the king of the dead country at all, on the contrary, when he saw the majestic division in front of him, he was already a little fluttering, and the dragon's heart was happy!

He knew that fifteen thousand of the eighteen thousand troops here were recruits who had only been in the army for a few months. The fact that new recruits have been trained to such a point in just a few months has fully proved the efficiency of the "military machine system."

Even if Zhao Ji doesn't know much about military affairs, he can understand the meaning - the Great Song Dynasty can quickly explode troops in the future! Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers can be trained in a few months and a year, what other country in the world can compete with the Great Song Dynasty? The Great Song Dynasty has a population of 10,000! This kind of "military machine system" turned the demographic advantage of the Great Song Dynasty into combat effectiveness.

Even if two or three soldiers of the model new army are exchanged for a Khitan warrior, hundreds of thousands of dead can wipe out the warriors of the Khitans, and then the Khitan is not a lamb to be slaughtered?

When the Uighurs in the northwest are pacified, you can consider the Northern Expedition to Yanyun! When the time comes, Wu Haogu will send troops from Jiehe, Gao Yu and Tong Guan will send troops from Shuofang, and let Zhong Fu send troops from Hedong, which should be able to pacify the Khitan in one fell swoop.

Zhao Ji glanced at Wu Haogu who was following him, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became. The Great Song Dynasty has such capable courtiers, are you afraid that you won't be able to level the world? When you turn around, you will promote him to an official, and let him stay after the festival, and the title can also be raised by one level, and he will be a founding county uncle, and a few hundred households will be added to the fiefdom!

In addition, his two brothers and his father were also transferred to the official ...... By the way, his little mother Feng has a good godson, and it is time to give a Shuo man - Wu Haogu's wife Pan Qiaolian has long been a Shuo person, which is based on Wu Haogu's official position, but Feng Erniang has not enjoyed the treatment of Wu Haogu's mother, so there is no seal.

Wu Haogu didn't expect that he and his two younger brothers were about to be promoted at this time, and it didn't matter if he was promoted or not. He is now the main defense envoy, and he is a lieutenant three levels higher.

If you reach this level, you will be even more hated!

So what he has to think about now is not how to improve, but to advance two and retreat one, and temporarily disappear from the political whirlpool of Kaifeng Mansion for a while.

In addition, Gao Yu, a big warlord with no prospects, must not be allowed to step down from the position of Xuanfu of the Northwest Third Road!

He has to continue to support the army and respect himself, and his achievements are high......
