In his sleeve, after Zhao Zhen finished asking, Liu Xing took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

After the chess and cards in front of Zhao Zhen were released, Liu Xing said: "Your Majesty, please take a look, this is the initial idea of the ministers and soldiers to streamline the administration." Of course, the specific needs to wait until the two marshals Zhang Suo and Zong Ze return, and then they will discuss it in detail together before it can be settled. ”

Seeing the piece of paper, Zhao Zhen immediately lowered his head and looked at it carefully.

After a while, when Zhao Zhen finished reading the preliminary idea of Liu Xingjing's soldiers on the paper, he looked up at Liu Xing and said: "Taifu wants 15,000 people per town, that is, only 60,000 soldiers are left in the four towns of the Bashu Forbidden Army, and the border army is also 60,000 soldiers and horses." Hedong and Shaanxi each left seven towns, and a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, right? ”

Nodding slightly, Liu Xing replied: "Yes, Shaanxi Linxi Xia and Hedong reject the golden dog." If Hebei is restored and Jingdong is recovered, the same should be done in terms of troops. Hebei left eight towns, divided into forbidden army and border army. Jingdong left eight towns, and it was also a standing army of 120,000. The Jingxi Gongwei Beijing Division naturally cannot be less than the soldiers of the Eight Towns. ”

When listening to Liu Xing's exposition of ideas, a strange light bloomed in Zhao Zhen's bright eyes.

When Liu Xing finished speaking, he immediately said: "120,000 in Bashu, 100,000 in Hedong, and 100,000 in Shaanxi, 120,000 each in Hebei, Jingdong, and Jingxi." If according to Taifu's conception, then the real warlike soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty in the future will be less than 700,000 horses. Taifu thinks that this is really enough to sweep away King Kang, smash Huanglong, deter Western Xia, and subdue Dali? ”

Seeing him say this, Liu Xing's jealousy of Zhao Zhen couldn't help but increase a few points, and said secretly: This little guy also put on a posture of being willing to be a puppet just now. The young master threw out the idea of streamlining the administration and redefining the military system. It seems that he will soon have his own ideas.

Such a little emperor. If you can really have one mind with the master, it is a good thing, at least it is much better to discuss with an emperor a lot of major matters related to the safety of the society and the fate of the people in the world than to discuss with Ma Kuo and Zeng Weijie, who have expertise but are not proficient in skills.

After all, this world is the royal world, no matter how you say it, as an emperor, if you have Zhao Zhen's thinking ability now, you will definitely think more about the world's plans. It's thousands of times better than the ideas that the courtiers always give with selfishness......

Thinking so secretly in his heart, Liu Xing quickly made up his mind to let this current little puppet participate in a military event. It can not only block the mouths of King Kang's people, but also save them from always saying that they are "today's Mengde". It can also let more people see that they don't really want to take away Zhao Song Jiangshan. Just want to make the country better.

Having made up his mind, Liu Xing said, "Why did Your Majesty just see what we have at our fingertips and what we have already obtained? Don't you want all the roads in the south of the Yangtze River, don't you want Jinghu and Guangnan to be your majesty's ruling places, are you willing to let King Kang continue to be the puppet emperor? ”

"Of course not, Brother Jiu is too impermanent and unkind." When Zhao Zhen heard this, his face turned pale: "If it weren't for Taifu, you always said that it was not time for the same room to fight, I would have urged you to arrest the ninth brother, lock him up, and unify the country and the people." ”

Ambition, this little guy really has ambition.

When Zhao Zhen's words were finished, the first feeling that popped up in Liu Xing's heart was that this little emperor was actually very ambitious.

It's a good thing to be ambitious, after all, he is an emperor, not a courtier. Regardless of the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors. Looking at the long river of Chinese history, which emperor who has been praised through the ages is not a careerist.

The Qin Emperor unified the Six Kingdoms. That's ambition. The Han Dynasty drove out foreign enemies and fixed the Western Regions, which was also an ambition.

Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate, but it was impossible to hide his essence and careerist's actions through beautification. After that, Li Shimin used various means to let countries from all over the world come to the court, which was the result of showing his ambition to the extreme.

If Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Zhao Song Dynasty, had no ambitions, he would not have made friendships and attracted generals in the forbidden army in the past.

If Zhao Kuangyin hadn't had ambition back then, he wouldn't have become the new master of the country after a self-directed and self-starred yellow robe farce, and he would have driven out the orphans and widows from the stage, and he would have jumped on the stage of history to sing the leading role.

An ambitious emperor, no matter how he ascended to power, will inevitably be able to do something after he has mastered the power of the world.

Whether the careerist emperor made the prosperity of the official family or the peace of the people, in short, it was beneficial to all the Han people in the world.

At this point, Liu Xing very much hopes that Zhao Zhen is really an emperor with greater ambition who can bring peace and a prosperous life to the Han people in the world with himself in the future. I don't want Zhao Zhen to be like Liu Chan and an emperor who can't be helped.

Because in that case, once you get tired of playing the game in the big chess game in the world and want to get out of it, at least you don't need to worry about the new picture scroll created by exhausting your heart and soul being ruined by a few rough dot paintings by an incompetent king.

Only when a truly ambitious, courageous, and courageous emperor is in charge of the country, can he ensure that he wants to prevent the Han people from being bullied by other places and are powerless to resist and cause a thousand years of shame to happen again.

With this in mind, Liu Xing was even more determined to take the idea of streamlining the administration and redefining the military system as the first major event in cultivating Zhao Zhen......

"So, Your Majesty, why do you say that I only have these 700,000 soldiers and horses in the future of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Liu Xing put away the faint smile that was still floating on his face, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Although Jinghu is located in the mainland, the people have always been changing. Although Jiangnan is barren, it is undeveloped and bordered by the sea, and it will become the first place for the enemy to attack on the sea in the future. There are more barbarians in Guangnan than Han Chinese, and it is difficult to stabilize for a long time. ”

At this point, Liu Xing smiled again, and after a short pause, he continued: "Once those places are returned to Your Majesty, they will still have a standing forbidden army and set up a border army, and the minister is also ready to vigorously set up several powerful navies after recovering Jiangnan, and go to Fusang and even further overseas countries to promote the prestige of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

After listening to Liu Xing's long-term plan, Zhao Zhen frowned and said thoughtfully: "Then according to Taifu's thoughts, in the future, my Great Song Dynasty will definitely be no less than the Tang Dynasty and become the Heavenly Empire that once again allows the four seas to come to court." But if that's the case, it seems that the idea of being too elite and simplifying the government is in conflict with the final result, and there will be more soldiers instead of less, right? ”

Zhao Zhen said that Liu Xing's smile couldn't help but become brighter when he talked about Liu Xing's idea of streamlining his army now.

"Haha......" After laughing loudly, Liu Xing said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty's wisdom is really not comparable to ordinary people, yes, it will definitely be a lot in the number of soldiers in the future." The reason why the ministers now want to streamline their troops is to save money and food, so that all the towns of our army can afford to use them and use firearms. ”

With a smile, Liu Xing regained his face and continued to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty should know that our army now claims to have nearly a million men, but in fact, most of them are only big swords and spears as the main weapons, except for the various departments of the forbidden army. Against the golden dog and the party members, it is still impossible to win more with less, kill 1,000 enemies and lose more than 100. However, if all the firearms are distributed after the selection of fresh troops and reintegration, I believe that no matter which enemy comes along the way, they will shudder, retreat without a fight, or even have no courage to attack our Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Taifu's meaning, I understand." After hearing Liu Xing's words, Zhao Zhen's frowning brows relaxed.

He also had a smile on his face, and said to Liu Xing: "Taifu wants to save first, so that all my Great Song Dynasty Wang Shi will become Wang Shi with all firearms as the main battle weapon according to what you said on the paper." This is the idea that really makes my Great Song Dynasty King Division an invincible division in the four seas, and it is also an idea that is truly conducive to the great cause of the Great Song Dynasty for thousands of years. Taifu wanted to do this, but I didn't agree to it for any reason. ”

Let me be the king of the Song Dynasty and become an invincible army in the four seas.

Such words came out of the mouth of Zhao Zhen, who was only sixteen years old, and Liu Xing had to increase his affection for this little emperor again in his heart.

can have such an ideal, he shouldn't really just treat him as a puppet. Because no matter which dynasty, as long as it is the Han people who call the shots. Then the invincible king will be the biggest barrier to defend the Han people in the Central Plains. At least at this point, Liu Xing's fundamental thoughts are the same, which resonates with Zhao Zhen.

With this kind of resonance, Liu Xing's attitude towards Zhao Zhen's words once again became less domineering and disdainful in his heart, and turned into an addiction to really cultivate this little emperor and develop it once.

With such an idea, Liu Xing quickly answered: "Please rest assured, as long as Your Majesty is firm in my belief that the Great Song Dynasty is invincible in the world, as long as Your Majesty firmly wants to make my Great Song Dynasty another prosperous Tang Dynasty, the ministers will definitely be ruined from now on." ”

Before the words fell, Liu Xing smiled strangely at Zhao Zhen, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, don't continue to waste your efforts on the chessboard between square inches, come, please go to the mountains northwest of Dongling Pass with your ministers, and ask Your Majesty to take a look at the wheel flying kite camp outside." I believe that after Your Majesty sees it, even if someone comes to oppose the minister's policy of streamlining the government in the future, you will have more confidence in rebuttal. ”

After saying this, Liu Xing stretched out his hand and pushed away the dead game he had set up for Zhao Zhen, then got up and pulled Zhao Zhen out of the room quickly.

At the moment of walking out of the room, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but glance at the chessboard that was overthrown by Liu Xing, but secretly thought in his heart: a game of chess, the world. I hope that what Mrs. Liu overthrows this time is not only the small chessboard between the square inches, but also the estrangement between me and him in the big chessboard of the world between the monarch and the minister, and he will completely overthrow it.

If that is the case, even if my father and brother are still facing me, I will ensure that he will be prosperous and rich in this life. Because such a talent is really rare in the world. With such talents, the Great Song Dynasty can really become another prosperous Tang Dynasty and let the four seas come to the court. (To be continued......)
