The five people dispersed, and Han Hong also sighed in his heart. Looking at Zhao Yun like the rising sun, shining brightly, he looked forward more and more to where Zhao Yun would take the Song Dynasty.
Returning to the military camp, Jiang Wanzai met his uncle Jiang Hai.
At this time, Jiang Hai also received an appointment. He had been appointed by Zhao Yun as the envoy of Lizhou Road and became a figure in charge of the government. As long as he works hard for a few more years, he can reach a high position and return to his hometown with honor. His life can be said to be complete.
.
I heard that Jiang Wanzai was trusted by Zhao Yun so much that he was appointed as the general manager of the 10,000 new army. Besides, no one could control this new army except Zhao Yun. It could be said that it was the emperor's personal army.
Jiang Hai was surprised and said: "Wan Zai, are you telling the truth? The government really appointed you as the general manager of the 10,000 new army?"
Jiang Wanzai raised his hand and replied solemnly: "Uncle, how dare my nephew joke about such things."
Jiang Hai was silent, with his brows sometimes relaxing and sometimes frowning. Finally, he said to Jiang Wanzai: "Wanzai, from now on you must serve the official family well. You must not be rude or have second thoughts. The king treats his ministers like this, and the ministers should treat them like this."
The soldiers of the country will repay it, do you understand?"
"Yes, uncle, please remember this nephew."
"Well, officials are generous, benevolent and righteous, and they are the emperor of the sage. From now on, the lintel of my Jiang family will be supported by you."
Jiang Wanzai raised his eyes to look at his uncle, and immediately understood what Jiang Hai meant. A heat wave suddenly rolled in his heart. He was deeply inspired and full of confidence in the future.
At this time, Meng Gong returned to the camp and told Liu Yi, Zhang Zuo and other generals about the training of the new army. The generals learned that Meng Gong was so admired by Zhao Yun that he became the general manager of the capital.
Meng Gong was happy.
Meng Gong, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. He said to his general: "The official family has great ambitions. How can a mere 50,000 new troops satisfy them? I dare to assert that there will be a war between the Song and Jin Dynasties within ten years. But the different
Yes, this battle will be the Northern Expedition launched by the Song Dynasty against the Jin Kingdom to destroy the country. You should train well and fight generously when the time comes, and it will not be a problem to seal your wife and protect your son."
"Yes, General."
The blood of several generals was boiling with excitement, as if they had seen the moment when the King of the Song Dynasty took the oath for the Northern Expedition.
Just as he was on duty at San Yamen, Song Ci, a military official, suddenly received a message saying that Zhao Yun had been summoned.
Song Ci was surprised. He didn't know why Zhao Yun summoned him, but he was not afraid of the shadow. He soon calmed down and went to Funing Hall to meet Zhao Yun.
"I have met your Majesty."
"The Qing family is exempt from gifts."
Zhao Yun raised his eyes and glanced at Song Ci, making eye contact with him. Seeing that Song Ci's eyes were clear and did not dodge at all, Zhao Yun felt satisfied.
"Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Song Ci sat down, Zhao Yun said: "I want to form a new army. In the past, the army was paid and provided with food. The household department, transportation department, and leading generals would inevitably collude with each other and be greedy for money. I will never allow this kind of thing in the new army.
Appeared. I want to establish a rear security department to be responsible for the distribution of military pay and rations to the new army. I want to let the Qing family take charge of this rear security department. I wonder if the Qing family is willing to work with military attachés and sergeants every day?"
Song Ci is Zhen Dexiu's disciple. He is smart, loyal and deeply appreciated by Zhen Dexiu.
Later, he was appointed to supervise the transportation of food and grass for the army crossing the river, and he handled the matter steadily and beautifully. Zhao Yun had a good impression of him.
Later, Zhao Yun ordered someone to observe him secretly and found out that he was an upright man with a loyal heart. This time he needed someone to take charge of the new army's money and food, so Zhao Yun thought of him.
Song Ci was stunned and didn't react for a moment. When he understood what Zhao Yun meant, he felt uneasy and said: "Your Majesty appointed me to take charge of the Imperial Guard. This is your Majesty's trust in me. How can I dare not to obey? I am honored."
to."
"Well, very good, the Qing family did not disappoint me."
Song Ci hesitated for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, I have some advice, please accept it."
"Say, as long as it benefits the country and the people, I will agree to anything."
"I believe that the situation in the Song Dynasty in which the civil servants are noble and the military officers are neglected should be changed. The status of military generals is low. If things continue like this, it will not be conducive to the dynasty and the country. I suggest that your majesty worship a military general as a disciple and learn martial arts. In this way, you can not only strengthen your body, but also convey your majesty's love for warriors.
attach great importance to it, thereby elevating the status of warriors."
Zhao Yun was so happy in his heart that he finally showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time. Zhao Yun said: "The words of the Qing family are very much in line with my wishes. As the emperor, since there are scholars in the emperor's division, there should naturally be warriors. Only in this way can we balance the civil and military affairs."
The family and country are stable and accurate."
"Thank you, Your Majesty.
Decorated with colorful lanterns and beauties, the Xiaofan Building was bustling with activity. Gou Mengyu and Cui Cheng were drinking in the same room, and the atmosphere was lively.
Several singing girls were accompanying the wine, and Cui Cheng frequently persuaded Gou Mengyu to drink. One moment he congratulated Gou Mengyu on his promotion to the Minister of Etiquette, and the other moment he congratulated Gou Mengyu for her official beauty pageant. It was a great achievement and she would be rewarded in the future.
Gou Mengyu was naturally happy at this time, and he was also grateful to Cui Cheng, so he did not refuse anyone who came to persuade him to drink. Without much effort, he drank until he was unconscious.
However, what Gou Mengyu didn't know was that Cui Cheng, who looked enthusiastic on the surface, actually hated him to the core. Cui Chengxin said, "Who are you Gou Mengyu? I obviously worked hard to make that pageant brochure, but you took advantage of me."
You must be drunk to death today.
Feeling unhappy, Cui Cheng kept pouring wine into Gou Mengyu. By the end of the drink, Gou Mengyu was so drunk that she couldn't even speak. When the girls around her saw it, they were all worried that something had happened, and they all advised Cui Cheng not to drink anymore. Cui Cheng
Only then did it stop.
Cui Cheng then sent Gou Mengyu back to his house, and Gou Mengyu's beloved concubine Wu Qiaoer came out to help her.
Wu Qiaoer and Cui Cheng met face to face. Seeing how handsome, young and energetic Cui Cheng was, she couldn't help but feel shy and her face turned slightly red.
Cui Cheng's eyes were also brightened by Wu Qiao'er. He was stunned for a while. Finally, he hurriedly arranged his clothes, raised his hand and said: "I, Cui Cheng, am the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. I have met my wife."
Seeing Cui Cheng's politeness and elegant temperament, Wu Qiaoer couldn't help but say a Wanfu gift. Just as she was about to thank Cui Cheng for sending Gou Mengyu back, Gou Mengyu couldn't control herself and actually vomited on her.
"Oh, it's so dirty."
Wu Qiaoer was so disgusted that she hurriedly sent Gou Mengyu to the mansion with the help of her maid.
But before leaving, Wu Qiaoer subconsciously glanced back at Cui Cheng. Unexpectedly, her eyes met with Cui Cheng's. Wu Qiaoer looked back hurriedly as if she had been electrocuted.
Cui Cheng stood in front of Gou Mengyu's house for a while. After a while, he saw the corners of his mouth raised, sneering several times, and finally left.
Under the preparations of Meng Gong, Cao Youwen, Xia Gui, Jiang Wanzai, and Peng Yibin, the new army made rapid progress.
The camp of 50,000 new troops was selected more than fifty miles north of Lin'an City. It can not only effectively protect Lin'an and resist possible threats from the outside, but also reach Lin'an within one day, deterring those who may be lurking in the city.
