Chapter 76: Raising Gu and Selecting Generals

It was idle on rainy days, so Zhao Zhen summoned two members of the Zhao clan, one was the ordnance officer Zhao Yannian, and the other was the baggage officer Zhao Qi.

When choosing a personal guard for the emperor, Li Changli disagreed with the opinions of the two Zhao clans and sent the two Zhao clans to catch the sword outside the emperor's tent. Both His Majesty the Emperor and Zou Tong were very satisfied.

"Five parties, Ducheng, you both are the elites of my royal family. Is there anything difficult to describe in Yun Zheng's army?"

Zhao Zhen asked very directly. He didn't need to hide it in front of his tribe members. He had his own considerations when he sent the royal family to the Western Army.

The two men who took off their armor paused and said, "Report to the head of the family, the Weichen and others are in the western army in Beijing, but they are really sorry for the emperor's kindness."

Zhao Zhen was wearing a soft robe today and leaned on the brocade bed casually. He heard Zhao Yannian say this and frowned, "But Yun Zheng doesn't allow it?"

Zhao Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Reporting to the fact that the head of the family got it, it was not that the general refused, but that the army in the western Beijing was full of talents, and that the weak ministers and others were not capable of becoming the general of the army.

The two of them had no choice but to find another way, one was studying military equipment and the other studying money and grain, which led to their current position of control.

The head of the family, I think that more people must join the Beijing West Army of the outstanding children of my royal family, and that children will stand out in time!"

Zhao Zhen played with the wine glass in his hand and said, "I heard that no matter who wants to enter the Western Army, you must start with a small pawn, but is this happening?"

Zhao Yannian bowed and said, "That's true. Now there are only two people under the 50,000 people in the Western Army of Beijing that did not start with small pawns. One is a general and the other is a military supervisor!

In addition, he had to have his current position after going through a hundred battles. Even Su Shi, the disciple of the Grand Marshal, slept in the Lianglang Mountain Wind outside Yanmen Pass for half a year to build the Lianglang Mountain Fortress. Only then did he become the general's accompanying army for his merits, but his rank is still the centurion. When he saw the two ministers, he still had to marches in the etiquette and law."

Zhao Zhen laughed mockingly and said, "It's really equal. Doesn't he treat you royal families with any preferential treatment?"

Zhao Ying saw that the emperor didn't understand why he said this, and thought for a while and bowed: "The general has the first words. If you want preferential treatment, you can go to the military garrison as an idle official, whether it is the military farm camp at the foot of the Liangshan Mountain, the heart of the Eagle's Nest, or the manufacturing site next to Dujiangyan, you can go there, and there is preferential treatment there, but there is no place to be compatible with in the military.

I have been in the western army for four years and agree with this military law. The selection of generals in charge of the army cannot be careless, and the inability of a general to exhaust thousands of troops cannot occur in the western army.”

Zhao Zhen looked at the dark faces of Zhao Yannian and Zhao Qing and sighed, "You have really suffered. The royal nobles could have taken a horse in Tokyo with a light fur and slow fur. But you have experienced the hardships of the army and are all good men of the Zhao family.

Do you know that when the death documents of soldiers from the western Beijing army were sent to the table of my family, my heart was filled with coldness from the soles of my feet to the top door.

I still remember the above wording: Yun Zheng, the general of the Western Army of Beijing, was appointed by Mr. Zhao Zhen, the chief of the Zhao clan in the capital. Your nephew Zhao Yong, Zhao Han was killed in the battle of Luanshipo in the fourth year of Jiayou. Zhao Yong and Zhao Han's troops intercepted the defeated Western Xia army and did not retreat. They created favorable conditions for the army to encircle and suppress the Han thief Zhang Zhi. After the war, Zhao Yong broke out nine places, and Zhao Han raised eleven arrow clusters in his body. All of them were in the chest and abdomen. The courage was not surpassed. What these two people did was in the country.

Yun Zheng only hopes that the heroic souls of the soldiers can comfort the elders and not be too sad…”

Thinking of Zhao Yong and Zhao Han, Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yan couldn't help but cry and kowtowed repeatedly: "Yong Ge'er was originally the most hopeful figure in my royal family to become the general of the army, but in the battle of the Lushipo, our army participated in the battle. The flesh and blood flew across the battlefield, and the waves were like heavy rain. The tragic battle between the two sides was moved by it.

At that time, no one of the soldiers in the Western Beijing Army did not participate in the war. Even the general led the cavalry to charge in person. He fought hard for two days before completely encircling and annihilated Zhang Zhi's troops. The Western Beijing Army also lost 40% of the soldiers, almost everyone was injured..."

Zhao Zhen also had tears in his eyes, and he patted his low cock and sighed: "Why is my good boy so easy to die..."

When Zhao Yan saw the emperor sadly, he hurriedly said, "The general said: No one is safe on the battlefield, and no place is safe. Since you go to the battlefield, you must have the awareness of death in battle. If you are worried about the injured, don't go to the battlefield."

Zhao Zhen calmed down and asked, "Didn't you deliberately send them to die?"

Zhao Yannian smiled bitterly and said, "It was indeed deliberately sent them to the most dangerous place, and it was also what Yong Geer and the others asked for.

According to the military, as long as you are a talent, you must be sent to the stove for training, then placed on an anvil and finally quenched to become a qualified general.

If you die, you will be leeward. As long as you come alive, you will be qualified heroes!

Your Majesty told Weichen and others in his early years that a powerful army of royal families must be tempered. Weichen and others also did it according to your requirements. Over the years, six children of my royal family have died in battle, and twenty-one survived. Weichen dares to say that these twenty-one children are more than enough to serve as grassroots officers in the army, but we have no backbone. There has not been a figure in the royal family of the Song Dynasty who can truly unify the twenty-one children.

Therefore, the wealth minister dared to ask the head of the family to send the best children into the army. In less than ten years, our own iron army of the royal family will also be formed."

"Ten years?" Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly, and asked Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yan to retreat. He looked at the ceiling of the military tent and muttered to himself: "Ten years?"

"Far-distance water cannot quench near thirst..."

Seeing that the military tent was stormy outside, Zou Tong covered Zhao Zhen with a blanket and knelt on the floor to accompany Zhao Zhen to listen to the thunder outside.

The thunder became more and more rapid, one more and more rapid. When a string of muffled thunder rolled over the head, Zhao Zhen whispered: "After all, we need to use the method of raising a Gu to choose a general!

Zou Tong, it is said that the general came to see me!"

Yun Zheng rushed into the emperor's military tent with a heavy wet steam. He found that the emperor was watching the storm outside with his hands behind his back, so he stood under the steps with his fists, waiting for the emperor to speak.

The army was stationed at the high point, so we were not worried about any mountain torrents. The water flowing on the opposite cliff had formed a majestic waterfall, and the water hit the rock and made a loud noise.

"Yun Qing, can there be a quick way to achieve the general's way?"

Yun Zheng's eyes turned around and wanted to get some tips from Zou Tong, but Zou Tong was kneeling on the ground and caring for a small stove to prepare tea, but he couldn't get any tips.

After thinking about the words, he said: "Purging seedlings to encourage growth will only damage the root cause and is not advisable!"

Zhao Zhen said expressionlessly: "I visited the Liao Emperor's Pishi Army. It is indeed an army that can conquer a good war, so I also want to reorganize the Royal Guards. What do you think? Don't use it to moan me if you praise the Japanese army."

Yun Zheng remembered that the emperor had just summoned Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yan and understood what he meant, so he bowed and said, "It would be good if the royal family could have an army that could conquer and fight well.

However, Your Majesty cannot compare the newly formed imperial guards of our dynasty with the Pishi Army of the Liao Kingdom. In the eyes of Weichen, the Pishi Army is not a strong army.

These days, the Wei ministers gradually gathered some military newspapers of our Song army raiding Yazihe, and then found that these squid soldiers could not effectively protect the Emperor of Liao."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "How do you say this?"

"A mob of more than 12,000 people could actually escape in a hurry in the Liaohuang forced him to escape from the Yazi River. If it weren't for the Queen Xiao Guanyin using her body to block the hidden arrow, the Liaohuang would have long been Long Zhubintian.

The Pisces Army looked powerful but had no combat power. The 100,000 people surrounded and suppressed more than 10,000 people on the ice actually paid more than three times the price. Although these people fought to the death, they were qualified as individuals, but as an army they were unqualified.”

“Where is the failure?”

"I don't know how to guard my mind before the war, and I can't react quickly during the war. When I fight, I only know how to resist to the death but forget the army formation and advance and retreat that the army should have. If that army comes to attack His Majesty at this time, I am sure that I will end the battle within an hour, and they will not have the chance to attack His Majesty at all."

Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement and asked again: "I am planning to build the skeleton of the Imperial Guard with the royal family as the backbone. What do you think?"

"Yes, I think Zhao Yannian, Zhao Yan and others are already mature. Although they cannot be said to be a qualified general, the four words "experienced and battle-making" are not wrong to use on them. It is still more than enough to help His Majesty build the skeleton of an army."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Zhao Yannian and Zhao Yan both claimed that they could only be auxiliary but not the main general. Can Hou Yun come up with a qualified person for me?"

"The royal guards can only be royal families. The weak ministers are not very familiar with the children of the royal family, and only a dozen people in the western army are barely aware of them.

Zhao Yannian is a delicate person and can tell the details, but he lacks perseverance and perseverance, so he is indeed not enough to take on the heavy responsibility. It is just right to take on the role of an ordnance officer in the western Beijing Army.

As for Zhao Yan, he has the same personality. Such a person is also an excellent candidate for managing food and fodder. Therefore, he is now a grain and fodder officer in the western army of Beijing. He can handle such a big scene as a league, but he is a little lacking in being the chief general."

Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed and pointed at Yun Zheng and said, "Are my royal children all the same personality?

Since you said that the royal children lack the conditions to become the chief general, what if you choose the chief general and the beloved minister by using the method of raising a Gu?”

After hearing the emperor's words, Yun Zheng couldn't laugh and said word by word: "If you choose a general like that, your Majesty can only choose poisons, but you can't choose a qualified general. If you really choose one, for the long-term consideration of the Song Dynasty, your Majesty will be prepared to let the Wei ministers compete with him in the battle!"
