Ge Ling, Hou Le Tang.

Jia Rudao sat in the chair again. However, the officials who talked to him in the room have become Jiang Wanli, Ma Guangzu, Pu Zezhi and Li Tingzhi. Among them, Jiang Wanli, Ma Guangzu and Pu Zhizhi were personally welcomed in by Jia Yidao. And Li Tingzhi came to Geling early in the morning and brought a plan to organize group exercises.

With the rise of Li Pu and Chen Dexing's approaching step by step, the Southern Song Dynasty once again felt the existential crisis of Yan Zòng. Different from the situation in history, the Lu family army and the Xia family army, which were originally relied on by Jia Nidao as the Great Wall, have now all become openly divided feudal towns.

The Southern Song Dynasty no longer had an armed force to sustain. Now the army must be rebuilt! And the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty did not believe in the martial artists at all, and the only one they could rely on was the Jiangnan scholars. Therefore, after Jia Rudao "proposed" that the incumbent officials return to the township and rely on the clan, classmates, and the township party to form a new army, he soon received the full support of several other ministers in Lin'an and the retired emperor Zhao Yun.

Now the Zhao Song Dynasty can no longer take care of the "cage wise man", and if the cage continues, Chen Dexing will enter Lin'an to take Zhao Erdai.

However, it is really hard to say how many "Zhiyong" are left in the Jiangnan Righteous Gate, which has been captive by the Zhao family imperial examination system for three hundred years.

"I don't know about other families, but the Li family in Suizhou can pull up thousands of elite soldiers." Li Tingzhi patted his chest and promised, "The lower officials can immediately rush to Suizhou to recruit troops, as long as the imperial court can give a certain 100,000 pieces of copper and 100,000 pieces of cloth, there will be 5,000 people after a month." As for the Jinghu local feudal town, there is still a certain face to recruit 5,000 people. ”

Jia Yidao did not show a trace of relief on his face. Suizhou Yimen Li certainly has a way, and they are not Jiangnan Yimen. It is the wealthy clan of Jinghu who are at war with the Mongols all day long. There are also many elders in the clan who have served as officers in the Yuejia Army and the Meng Family Army, and Li Tingzhi was appreciated by Meng Hui for this relationship. But can the giants of Jiangnan No. 5 Road have such strength?

"Jiangnan West Road is also doable." Jiang Wanli stroked his beard and frowned deeply. "Jiangnan West Road is prosperous in Confucianism, and the gentry are patriotic and loyal, if the court issues an edict to the old man, tens of thousands of strong people can still be pulled out!"

Jia Yidao nodded frequently, and Jiang Wanli was not bragging. Jiangxi is considered a poor road among the five roads in the south of the Yangtze River, but the style of writing is at its peak. The Bailudong Academy founded in the Tang Dynasty, the Bailuzhou Academy founded by Jiang Wanli, the Wenzong Academy (Ehu Academy) founded by Zhu Xi, and the Yuzhang Academy founded in the Southern Tang Dynasty are all the best academies in Jiangnan and even the whole world. It has cultivated a large number of science elites for Jiangxi. Jiang Wanli and Wen Tianxiang are among the best.

And Jiang Wanli was even more idle for a long time, so he studied in Jiangxi and opened Bailuzhou Academy to recruit disciples. Even Wen Tianxiang used to study at Bailuzhou Academy. It is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Wanli's disciples are all over Jiangxi. If he can go to Jiangxi to climb the heights, tens of thousands of servants will not be a problem at all. It's just that those tens of thousands of people are just scholars leading poor peasants, and when they meet Chen Dexing's soldiers, they will definitely collapse at the touch of a button......

"Zhexi will be handed over to the old man!" Ma Guangzu was born in the Jinhua clan and has a reputation throughout western Zhejiang. "Twenty or thirty thousand people can always pull it up...... It's just that it's easy to recruit and it's hard to train! It may not be easy to train to be an elite like Chen Jiajun. ”

"It's not easy to train soldiers...... Jia Yidao touched his temple, he has been on the Lianghuai and Jinghu fronts for 20 years, and he has military experience. Therefore, Li Tingzhi went to Suizhou to recruit troops, and he was relieved that the recruited soldiers would not be too weak. And Li Tingzhi has led the army for many years. There are a few generals in the army at hand, and with their help in training, Li Jiajun can train them.

But it's definitely not as good as the sergeant, and the incentive mechanism is different! The former has titles, granges, and serfs. And what else can be a parliament for the electors. These soldiers can be said to have shares in the Chen family's world, and they are fighting for themselves! Even if the Yue family's army reappears, it can't defeat this kind of army......

As for Jiang Wanli and Ma Guangzu. Although both of them have been handsome, they are known as soldiers. But it can't be compared with Li Tingzhi. Jiang Ma and the two are called "Yan Cai", that is, they know a little bit about military affairs. Able to command the generals below. And Li Tingzhi was originally a general, but he only became a civilian official after being a jinshi, and he knew how to gather troops and train troops.

"Xiangfu," Jia Rudao said, "you have been in the army for a long time, so if you have any experience in gathering troops and training troops, please tell me." ”

Li Tingzhi smiled and said, "The lower official is foolish, although he has been in the army for many years, he has not made much progress. If you talk about the experience, there are two things, that is, the soldiers gather and recruit farmers as soldiers. ”

"Soldiers gathered?" Jia Rudao frowned, isn't this nonsense? Who wants to be a soldier without a military salary?

Li Tingzhi said: "The so-called gathering of soldiers with salaries means that the salaries of the soldiers must be guaranteed, and it is best to let the officers with the troops personally control the source of food and salary!" ”

"What?" Jia Rudao was stunned, "Then why does the imperial court have soldiers?" ”

Li Tingzhi shook his head and said, "The scholar is in charge of the army, which is nothing more than buying people's hearts with military salaries. If the military salary is not in the scholars, the military heart is not in the scholars, how can the scholars be in charge of the army? And...... This dynasty's family law is like this, and the hearts of the people in charge of the soldiers are also uneasy, if it is not for the soldiers, who knows when the disaster of the storm pavilion will be added? ”

“……”

Li Tingzhi's words are too straightforward! But it's also the case, everyone here has been a minister, so they naturally know the method of using the neck of the general under the military salary card. The Southern Song Dynasty's control over the army was no longer as strict as that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the separation of soldiers and generals could not be done, and they could only turn a blind eye to the soldiers as generals. The only way to control the army is to jam the payout. Now the feudal towns of Sichuan, Jinghu and Lianghuai are in control of the localities and have the power to raise their own food and salaries!

If the new army is organized according to Li Tingzhi's method, then the scholar in charge of the army will not become the lord of the feudal town?

However, Li Tingzhi's last question also makes sense. The Great Song Dynasty can't do it externally, but it is very good to toss its own generals internally! If the scholars are not allowed to become the masters of the army, how dare they come out to recruit and train the troops to take charge of the army?

Seeing that Jia Rudao was silent. Li Tingzhi went on to say: "Recruiting farmers as soldiers is to recruit simple farmers as soldiers, the people of the mountains and fields are better, and the civilians in the cities and towns are not taken. Because the people of the mountains and wilderness are poor and uninformed, they are easy to control, and their demands are low. It's not like the people of Lin'an who have a broad vision, a slippery mind, and can't go on the battlefield. ”

There is nothing controversial about this. Just look at what the three soldiers of Lin'an have become like!

"Can the soldiers and peasants be united?" Jiang Wanli suddenly interjected and asked.

The integration of soldiers and peasants was the favorite military system of Confucianism. Because the cost of military salaries can be minimized, the burden on the "people" will also be minimized. It is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di in later generations were influenced by this kind of thinking and implemented the military household system that integrated soldiers and peasants. At its peak, there were more than 2 million military households in the country!

"What about the land?" Li Tingzhi asked rhetorically, "In the past, the loyal army could unite soldiers and farmers because it had land. Is there any land in Jiangnan that can be allocated to soldiers for cultivation now? ”

No! The land in the south of the Yangtze River belongs to the powerful clans, how can it be taken out and distributed to the soldiers? If you want to do that, you should surrender Chen Dexing!

Jiang Wanli was silent.

"Let's separate the soldiers and peasants." Jia Rudao stroked his beard and groaned, "That's it...... The recruitment of new troops cannot be delayed! Xiangfu, you leave immediately, 100,000 copper and 100,000 silk, a certain household will pay you, not a penny will be less! Jiang Dashen, Ma Dashen, the two of them also set off to Jiangxi, Zhejiang West. The two ways of pacification and the dispatch of the general consul are all given to you, if you need to bring military officers, you can directly draw them from the new army of the three yas and the squads in front of the palace! ”

Lao Jia stood up suddenly, looked at a few people with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We are all Song ministers who read the books of sages, and now that the Great Song Dynasty is in trouble, and the Confucian Taoism has been stolen, it is the time for us who read to come forward!" You should work hard to repay the kindness of heaven and the way of Confucius and Mencius! ”

……

"Caomin Changguo Deng Minghai, Deng Ming'an, Deng Mingli, Deng Qiuzhong...... Long live the King Ming, long live! ”

Chen Dexing, who had just returned to Changguo County, was at this time meeting several leading figures of the Changguo Deng family in a mansion dedicated by the Shen family.

As for the Shen family, they naturally took refuge in Chen Dexing a long time ago. The head of the family, Shen Gu Shen million (in fact, the family property is far more than one million), is now the Shijue of the Northern Ming Dynasty - he was the internal response to the Ming army, and the credit for cooperating with the capture of Zhoushan was enough to be knighted. In addition, he also took out 400,000 yuan to buy gentry status for the people of the Shen family and the shopkeepers, stewards and bows of the ship who worked for the Shen family. Jiamen Shen became the first buyer of the Northern Ming gentry!

"Get up and speak!" Chen Dexing waved his hand and made several Deng family members stand up, but it didn't make people look at it.

"Which of you is the head of the Deng family?" Chen Huaiqing opened his mouth to ask.

"Grass farmer Deng Minghai now lives in the Deng family." Mr. Guanhai Deng Minghai replied. The old man was now bent over and hung his hands, his head was lowered and he didn't dare to look at Chen Dexing, looking trembling.

"Deng Mingchao is your younger brother?" Chen Dexing asked.

"He is the disciple of the grass people."

"He is now my important minister of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and he also came to Putuo Mountain with King Gu before, and now he is going to Japan, has he ever been back to Zhoushan?"

"Listen to Tao, he passed the door of the house and didn't enter the ......," Deng Minghai replied.

"Oh." Chen Dexing nodded, he guessed that there must be some unknown contradiction between Deng Mingchao and the Changguo Deng family, perhaps because he took refuge in himself......

"Deng Mingchao is a talent, he is good at foreign affairs and domestic affairs, and he is a lonely king and important minister." Chen Dexing paused, his gaze slowly swept over the characters of the Deng family, "Do you still have such talents in the Deng family?" ”

"Yes!"

Someone replied loudly, but it was not Deng Minghai.

Chen Dexing followed the prestige and saw a man in his thirties, with a dark face, his beard and hair not taken care of properly, and he looked a little down.

"You ......"

The man said loudly: "Deng Qiuzhong, the grass man, is no less talented than Mr. Tingtao, and is willing to level Jiangnan Wulu for the king!" (To be continued......)
