(Thank you for the great support of Bee 000 and xunqianm, the new book is for collection and support)

"Tong Guan's North Road army broke through the area of Huishan Wuxi, but the North Road army suffered heavy casualties, and now it is holding with the thief army in the area of Pingjiang Mansion.

The Southern Route Army was still stalemate in the Xuanzhou area, and the thief army and the Shengjie army were both red-eyed, and the battle was tragic. ”

Wang Gui told the latest news he had found one by one.

"Your Highness, go south, the soldiers have been patrolling for some time, and the troops are strong enough to fight the thief army. ”

"Yes, my army is strong, well-armoured, and sharp, enough to wipe out the enemy. ”

For a while, everyone in the hall asked for endless battles, from Bianliang to the present, the Qilin army has almost not tasted defeat, and now it has won Yangzhou City, and it is even stronger and stronger, and everyone wants to take advantage of the situation to go south, eliminate rebellion, and earn military merits.

Looking at the excitement of everyone, Zhao Shu's face showed joy, the elite soldiers of a hundred battles were fed with one victory after another, but they were not so optimistic in their hearts.

Because the Western Army has been at war with the Western Xia for many years, the prosperity of the soldiers is also one of the best soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Shengjie Army led by Tong Guan is the elite of the Western Army, especially Tong Guan has only dug up a lot of elite soldiers in the hands of the old and small species, such a large army, it was beaten by the Fangla rebels with heavy casualties, and it is sluggish, you can know that the thief army is not a rabble, and the more south, the more tragic the battle.

But he also had to go south, he had to do his best to quell the Fangla rebellion, and then wave his army north, taking advantage of the Jinliao War to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun, and then take advantage of the mountains and rivers to block the powerful Jurchen.

What made Zhao Shu even more urgent was the terrifying black hand, who didn't know when he would strike again and crush the situation he had so hard created.

With his eyes locked deeply, Zhao Shu groaned, gently pressed his hand, stopped everyone's words, and said with deep eyebrows: "The army must now be strictly trained to digest the results obtained in these days, and the other departments will immediately build boats to cross the river and escort supplies to Jiangyin." ”

Zhao Shu did not set a specific time, but only set an approximate time, and thoroughly digested the results of the Yangzhou War within this month.

After everyone left, Zhao Shu left Jiang Kui, Zhang Junbao, Long Bo and Xiao Moran, the sect leader of Daluo.

"Your Highness, our army is now like a rainbow, and the soldiers have experienced many battles, all of them have become elite soldiers, and now they have recruited countless brave soldiers, and selected many soldiers from the auxiliaries, as long as they experience another big battle, they are enough to become elite soldiers in a hundred battles. ”

Jiang Kui looked at Zhao Shu and frowned, thinking that he was worried that the soldier's combat strength was not good, so he couldn't help but step forward.

"Thousands of troops are easy to get, and now we are brave and brave, but the officers at the grassroots level are insufficient, especially since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, and there are more good men who are not soldiers, which makes the army illiterate abound, except for a few generals, I am afraid that they have never touched the art of war.

Therefore, I plan to set up a martial arts lecture hall to teach the literacy and art of war of military generals above the centurion, and at the same time to open various subjects such as combat examples, tactics, simple strategy, and self-cultivation, and also set up a rule that all Qilin military generals must graduate from the martial arts hall before they can serve. ”

After listening to Zhao Shu's words, Jiang Kui, Zhang Junbao and Long Bo's faces were shocked, and they fell into deep thought, and then their eyes flashed, and Jiang Kui's face was flushed with excitement.

"Your Highness is really a genius of heaven and man, and he has such a wonderful idea, this lecture martial arts hall is similar to the Confucian school, and the generals cultivated must be the descendants of the lineage, but His Royal Highness is from, so the head of this lecture martial arts hall must be served by His Royal Highness.

Moreover, every time he leaves his profession, he is personally awarded the throne by His Royal Highness, which can also enhance the status of the generals, so that all the generals are grateful to His Royal Highness, and can also make His Royal Highness feel like an arm to the army. ”

The more Jiang Kui spoke, the more excited he became, which made the three people on the side suddenly realize that they couldn't help but shake.

"Mr. Jiang, it's too awarded, this is just an idea, it's not complete, please gentlemen and me to improve it. ”

Zhao Shu was not blindly optimistic, but continued to solicit everyone's opinions.

"Your Highness's move is unprecedented, and it will inevitably attract a lot of criticism, and even suffer from the jealousy of the saints, after all, the disaster caused by the martial arts of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms is too profound, so that the literati will subconsciously guard against the martial arts. ”

After Jiang Kui was excited, he immediately analyzed the drawbacks.

"What Mr. Jiang said is right, the lecture hall can only be opened to the Qilin Army for the time being, and cannot be expanded, and the risk may be temporarily avoided, especially the move of the lecture hall, which is unprecedented, and the relevant officials may not pay attention to it. ”

Xiao Moran participated in this kind of meeting for the first time, and he also expressed his opinion at the moment.

"The old slave thinks that this martial arts hall can still be implemented, first realize it in words, and if it is harshly reprimanded by the saint, then withdraw. ”

As long as Long Bo felt that it was beneficial to Zhao Shu, he would strongly encourage him, but as for the rest, he didn't feel anything.

"The benefits outweigh the disadvantages. ”

Zhang Junbao also responded, obviously agreeing with this method.

"That being the case, then the martial arts hall will be implemented, and all the centurions in the army need to enter the martial arts hall during this period of training. I will be the chief of the mountain, and Mr. Jiang and you will be the lecturers.

In addition, if you want to customize the Kirin Army, you still need to discuss the candidates for the generals and officers of each army. ”

In the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, the capital, the command, the box, the army, and the army are the basic units, and the hundred people are one capital, the five are one command, the five commands are one box, and the two boxes are one army, but in order to achieve the effect that the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers, the real establishment is extremely chaotic.

In order to better control the soldiers and improve the combat effectiveness of the Qilin Army, Zhao Shu changed it to a more intuitive and convenient position of commander, centurion and thousand-commander.

Although it is contrary to common sense to change the military system indiscriminately, Zhao Shu knows that the sergeants and doctors of the court generally do not pay attention to the establishment of the army, and with a more distinct military system, it is easier for the Qilin soldiers to feel different from other armies, and they have changed from the outside to the inside, so that the spirit of the Qilin army is different from other dull armies.

"Your Highness, there are more than 20,000 heavy infantry in the Qilin Army, currently commanded by Wu Jue, and 30,000 light infantry soldiers, currently under the command of Bi Jin.

Wang Gui's cavalry now grew to more than 10,000 men, and they were equipped with the best armor and horses.

Tang Huai was in charge of the largest number of crossbowmen, nearly 40,000 people, while Zhang Xian's infantry armor was currently the least numerous, only as many as 1,000 people. ”

After listening to Jiang Kui's words, Zhao Shu nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Everyone was promoted to the commander of ten thousand masters, although Zhang Xian's step man A is small, give the responsibility of the commander of ten thousand soldiers, and the position of the commander of each army will be transferred to each other, and the position will be awarded according to merit, and the day of the merit will be the time when the martial arts hall will be opened." ”

"No!"

The four of them responded, and they could be regarded as having made up this plan.

"Your Highness, Mani's rebellious inner should be summoned, Mani's rebellious disciples are still searching for Hercules' whereabouts, and they don't seem to know that Hercules was refined by His Highness. ”

Long Bo opened his mouth and said, this made Zhao Shu not the slightest surprise, there are only a few people in the entire Qilin Army who know that they have cultivated their divine souls, and no one will believe that they can refine Hercules, and it is not an accident that those rebels continue to search for Hercules.

"This matter can be used for a thing or two. ”

Zhao Shu had a plan in his heart, he might be able to let the Red Emperor lean down on the statue of the Lord Hercules, so that people could bring back the rebellion and find the whereabouts of several other gods.
