After waking up, I desperately tried to capture the scene in my dream. But no matter how hard I tried, the happy scene in the dream still gradually faded away. After all, I couldn't capture it. In the end, I only knew that I had a dream. The content is about Lelingshan. As for the details, I can’t remember them at all.
Everyone dreams. More than 90% of dreams will be completely forgotten after waking up. Only a few dreams will leave a vague impression on people. This may be why ancient literati and poets like to use the word "remnant dream". Describe the reason for the dream.
I closed my eyes tightly. Even if it was just a faint dream, I didn't want it to slip away. Of course I knew it was a dream, but I didn't want to really wake up. Even though it was just an illusory fantasy, I still deliberately indulged in it. Is it a dream or an idea? I can’t tell.
"Guanjia, it's time to get up." Quan Jiu's voice brought me back to reality.
I said "yes" and knew it was time to go to court. I slowly opened my eyes. I am still me. The combination of Song Duzong, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Huyan Donghai, the traveler.
It's another new day.
Lin'an is getting colder day by day in winter, but it is warm in Funing Hall. The heating effect of the fireplace and fire wall makes people feel very warm in winter. It is a bit more comfortable than the heating in the north in later generations. Of course, this kind of fireplace , fire walls, etc. Only a few powerful people can enjoy them. Ordinary people can only rely on stoves, soup pots and other items to keep warm in winter.
There is still some distance from Funing Palace to the Palace Meeting Hall. The cold wind in the early morning is still quite biting. But my body is no longer afraid of the cold. Although I don’t wear much, Huyan Donghai and Zhao Xu were both afraid of it in the past. It’s cold. When winter comes, I wear more clothes than ordinary people. Compared with when I just traveled to the Song Dynasty last year, my body, Zhao Yu’s body, or the two of us have become stronger and stronger after we were combined. .
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Chen Yi, I am writing this memorial." Chen Yi, the naval general who had just returned to Lin'an, came out and said.
"Chen Aiqing, please speak."
Chen Yi raised his hands high in the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to conduct a military parade along the river. This matter has been concluded. The details are in the memorial. Please take a look at it."
I accepted the memorial handed over by Xiaoqi and said: "Well, Aiqing has been away for more than two months, spanning more than half of the Yangtze River basin. Thank you for your hard work. I will review Aiqing's memorial as soon as possible. Regarding the naval affairs, I will talk to you after the meeting. The palace held a meeting to discuss. Lu Xiufu of the Military Council."
"I'm here."
"Lu Aiqing. The recruitment of officers for the new armies has ended. How is the situation?"
Lu Xiufu reported: "Your Majesty, no one signed up for the general recruitment yesterday. I conducted interviews with the original four applicants. The Military Academy is sorting out the detailed information. It can be reported to Your Majesty today. The recruitment of soldiers in each army has been completed. The situation is as follows. The Imperial Forest Army has a personnel establishment of 10,000 people, including 1,000 young guards led by Yuan Wen Zhang. 500 people from Zhang Shijie's department of the Yangzhou Army. Another 4,500 people were selected from the Forbidden Army and 4,000 people were recruited from the civilian population. The total number is exactly 10,000. The Lin'an War Zone has a personnel establishment of 40,000, of which 20,000 are from the Forbidden Army. Another 12,000 people are recruited from the private sector. The remaining 8,000 people are selected from the remaining personnel of the original Forbidden Army. This matter has also been completed. The 10,000 troops in the Guangnan War Zone were selected from the Forbidden Army. The other 10,000 troops need to be recruited after Mr. Fan Wenhu goes to Guangnan. Through the military reform of the Forbidden Army during this period, the manpower resources of the new armies have been basically solved. .The current problem lies in the appointment of senior generals in each army. This still needs to be decided by His Majesty."
I nodded and said: "Yes. Regarding the candidates for senior generals in Lin'an and Guangnan war zones, I plan to mainly select them from the generals of the Forbidden Army. All generals above the battalion commander and above in the original Forbidden Army can apply. The Military Council and the
After the assessment by the Ministry of War, it will be reported to me, combined with the recommendation from Luzhou Xia Guixia Aiqing Office. The final decision will be made by me."
"Yes. I obey your order."
"How many of the remaining soldiers of the Forbidden Army meet our army's recruitment requirements?"
Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, the original Lin'an Forbidden Army had a total of 75,000 people. The Royal Forest Army and the two war zones selected 42,500 people. Among the remaining 30,000 people, there were 10,000 people who did not meet the age and physical fitness standards.
Six thousand. There are also more than 10,000 people who are unwilling to continue to join the army. There are still about 6,000 qualified soldiers who need your Majesty's instructions on whether to go or stay."
I thought for a while and said: "From now on, our army's recruitment will be once every two years. If there is a war, it can be temporarily increased. I plan to retain all the 6,000 extra soldiers after the reform of the Forbidden Army."
"That's very good. Your Majesty. How should we arrange it?"
"Two thousand of them who can swim were transferred to the Navy. I have other uses; two thousand were handed over to Fan Aiqing's Guangnan War Zone to reduce the burden of local recruitment in the Guangnan War Zone. The other two thousand were left in Lin'an War Zone.
."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"For the Forbidden Army soldiers who left voluntarily and the disbanded Forbidden Army officers, arrangements need to be made for the aftermath. Before a military transition system is formed, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel and local governments must unconditionally cooperate with the Ministry of War in the transition of these personnel. For example.
Household registration, receipt of land, tax exemption on land, etc. If they are willing to stay as auxiliary soldiers, the military department also needs to give priority."
Judging from this large-scale force adjustment and conscription, it is not what I imagined - ordinary people enthusiastically joined the army. Although the publicity was in place in advance, it may be related to the policy of emphasizing culture over military force that the Song Dynasty has been pursuing. In addition, the people are fierce towards the Mongolian cavalry.
The rumors made many people in the Song Dynasty unwilling to let their children serve as cannon fodder. In addition, there was no strict security system for the living arrangements of soldiers after they retired. As a result, many soldiers retired because of insufficient land in their hometowns or lack of land.
Good at one skill, but poor and downcast.
The economy of the Song Dynasty was far ahead in the entire feudal society. However, it did not keep up with the military. The most fatal thing was that the bloody spirit of the Han people gradually disappeared with the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the Chinese nation was at its most dangerous.
Only then was he forced to let out his final roar.
"Lu Aiqing, you and relevant personnel from the Military Academy, Ministry of War and Navy go to the back hall to rest and prepare for the Navy's restructuring meeting."
"Yes. I obey your order."
"Chen Yizhong, the imperial censor, Chen Zongli, the criminal minister, and the ministers. The three of you will stay here first. The other beloved ministers will retreat first."
After everyone left, I said, "Chen Yizhong, what's the matter?"
Chen Yizhong took a step towards the middle and said: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial note."
"Chen Aiqing, please speak."
"Your Majesty, since the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Officials on September 1st, the vast majority of our officials have been able to abide by the law. I have followed your Majesty's will and have shifted the focus of the supervision of the censor to the corruption of officials. Basically,
Problems were discovered. However, recently, the minister received a report that during the expansion of Lin'an University, Jiang Yundi, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, was suspected of taking advantage of his position to embezzle project funds wantonly and pass off shoddy goods. The amount was not small. Because Jiang Yundi was
The Minister of the Central Government is also the nephew of Mr. Jiang Wanlijiang, the Minister of Commerce. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty whether to open a case for investigation."
"Jiang Yundi, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry."
I am very unfamiliar with this person. After all, I have very little contact with the Ministry of Industry. But Jiang Yundi is Jiang Wanli’s nephew. This caught my attention. I looked at Jia Sidao who was sitting in the main hall: "National The law targets all officials and citizens of our country. The Code of Conduct for Officials targets all officials of our country. Chen Aiqing, do you think we should file a case?"
Chen Yizhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I understand."
"Thousands of years ago, Shang Yang proposed during his political reform that 'princes who break the law are as guilty as the people'. Could it be that our dynasty is inferior to the ancients of the pre-Qin Dynasty? I have spent countless efforts to control the phenomenon of corruption. I am not just talking about it. Chen Yizhong. Chen Zongli and Chen Aiqing, please remember that no matter who they are, even if they are relatives of the emperor, once they violate the laws of our dynasty or the official code, there is no need to show mercy. They will be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law."
"Yes. I obey the order." Chen Yizhong and Chen Zongli responded in unison.
"Of course. You must not wrongly accuse any good person. Otherwise, I will deal with it as a false accusation. Since this is the first case since the promulgation of the Code of Conduct for Officials, you must investigate carefully. Because the Independent Commission Against Corruption has not Established nationwide. Therefore, I have decided that Chen Zongli of the Ministry of Punishment will investigate this matter together with Chen Yizhong and the Minister of Dali Temple. Master, do you think this is feasible?"
"Your Majesty, I have no objection."
"Okay. Until there is accurate evidence on this matter, please keep it secret for the time being. Don't alert others."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Well, you two, Chen Aiqing, please step aside. Master, follow me to the back hall to attend the naval military reform meeting."
I took long strides and walked toward the back hall. Jia Sidao and Xiao Qi followed closely behind me and walked together.
After one year, my energy and spirit are completely different from those of the original Zhao Fu. My steps are thick and steady, as straight as a dragon walking like a tiger, showing the majesty and solemnity of an emperor.
It seems like a long time ago that Jia Sidao came so close to me.
"This is definitely not the original Zhao Yu. When Zhao Yu walks, he gives people the impression of a fluttering posture. There is no trace of the person in front of him. He moves like a flying dragon and a phoenix, and is as quiet as Mount Tai. It makes people involuntarily feel fearful. .This is truly the appearance of an emperor." Jia Sidao rubbed his eyes and sighed secretly.
"Today, the superior is at the moment when the flying dragon is in the sky. The Grand Master must not confront it head-on. Instead, he should learn to hide the dragon in the abyss. Although the flying dragon is high up, it is extremely laborious. The so-called flying dragon cannot last forever. There will be a time when it will be exhausted. But the Grand Master is hiding in the abyss. With the body of a dragon, it is easy to wait for work. When the time is ripe, the two dragons can be turned upside down." Master Lianzhen's conclusion appeared in Jia Sidao's mind at the right time.
It only takes a few minutes to arrive at the back hall from the Daqing Hall. These few minutes made Jia Sidao think a lot. Although Lian Zhen's statement is very reasonable, but how long will the waiting time be? At least judging from the current situation. .Zhao Yu did not show any sign of fatigue at all. His momentum of flying into the sky continued to rise.
