What Zhao Bin said was absolutely correct. Yin Chang was standing in the crowd watching the training from a distance.
He only wore a very simple gray robe and looked like someone who had come from afar to watch the excitement, so no one else paid attention. This allowed him to observe peacefully without any interruption.
In an environment where everyone is trying to be neat and uniform, it is easiest to see the difference in level. Experienced generals training troops, standing on a high platform several feet high, can tell with a glance who among the tens of thousands of people below they are lazy. Be aware of it.
Yin Chang has such ability. After all, the accumulation of decades of military service is not fake.
But at this moment, the hundreds of people training in front of him performed completely opposite to the ordinary military. Yin Chang's eyes scanned again and again, and he did not see a single qualified person. He did not find any traces of adequate military training, and The bitter look on everyone's face is definitely not fake.
This means that the group of people in front of them are indeed Song people who have recently been recruited in response to the recruitment of various trading companies, and some are also civilians in the Great Zhou who were not part of the system before.
This kind of thing has been trained on the island for a long time, and it is still very energetic. It may take a long time to really train it to be usable. A few months ago, Yin Chang could easily mobilize many powerful players in the army. , will not take such things seriously at all.
But now, Yin Chang looks at these people and feels relieved.
Precisely because they have no training experience and no signs of adapting to strict laws and regulations, it is possible to avoid having agencies such as the Department of Left and Right or the Department of Records standing behind them.
Everyone knows that when Emperor Guo Ning of the Great Zhou Dynasty fought in the north in his early years, he was betrayed by his relatives and abandoned by his relatives. Therefore, after he raised his army, he attached great importance to the control of the army.
The two espionage agencies he reused both used considerable strength internally. The sources of Da Zhou's army were so complex and expanded so fast, but they were always loyal to the emperor. These two agencies worked hard to eradicate dissidents. The effort put in is really not small.
In addition, the few trusted generals who really hold the military power also have a tacit understanding with His Majesty and can always cooperate with him.
When Yin Chang was secretly communicating with each other in Kaifeng that day, Guo Zhongyuan, who was left behind in Nanjing and the military envoy to unify the army, seemed to know nothing and was out controlling military affairs for a whole month... How could one know that Guo Zhongyuan was not deliberately condoning this behavior? Isn't it said in ancient books that Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan's old skills?
Now think about it, people like Jing Anmin, Zhang Rou, He Shilie, Huan Duan and others were like great marshals and important generals back then. When they first joined the army, the emperor was also polite and tolerant to them, and often used them as favors. After a few years, not all of them have been dismissed. He was placed in a high position in name only and gradually forgotten by the soldiers at the bottom?
The emperor is always an evil tiger!
Yin Chang chuckled twice, not sure whether he was complaining or feeling happy.
The things I had committed before touched the emperor's taboo. It was the emperor's mercy that I could save the head on my neck. But I will definitely not be able to continue to serve as the deputy guard in Nanjing. Several other positions have also been retired. Fortunately, At this time, Yelu Chucai proposed to quote a large number of people from the Southern Dynasties so that they would gradually become familiar with and identify with the policies of the Zhou Dynasty.
Yin Chang now has some new insights into the Southern Dynasties. At least he has determined that the Song people on Jinghu Third Road still retain considerable strength and fighting spirit under the leadership of Zhao Fang. The middle-level and grassroots soldiers below Zhao Fang also have considerable strength and fighting spirit.
There are a few people who can fight, but the northern force's superiority in force cannot be used to defeat them.
Since it is not time to launch a military offensive, then a political offensive must be used.
If Yelu Chucai's suggestions can be implemented and persisted for a few years, tens of thousands of people in various parts of the Southern Dynasties will be able to recognize the policies of the Zhou Dynasty warriors. Instead of having a large amount of influence limited to the sea as before,
.
These tens of thousands of people are not ordinary ant people. The fact that they were able to find out about the recruitment of manpower by many trading companies in the north and overcome many difficulties and arrive at various ports proves that they have flexible minds and lack of action. The fact that they can be on this island shows that each of them has the ability to do so.
They have a certain skill. These people serve the Great Zhou, and sooner or later they will gain money or fame.
One day, they will return to the Song Dynasty. No matter how the Song Dynasty views them, their recognition of the Zhou Dynasty's military rule will definitely form considerable influence within the Southern Dynasties. This influence does not need to be compared with the view of the Zhou Dynasty as
Beilu's view offset only needs to work on a few key points, which is enough.
However, since people from the Southern Dynasties are to be introduced, they must be integrated into the system and play a role. However, the identity of the people from the Southern Dynasties also determines that it is impossible for the Great Zhou Dynasty to put so many people from the Southern Dynasties directly into key positions within the military and political system. So,
, the available directions are self-evident.
This direction is a new direction, and it is also a direction that the Central Plains dynasty has seldom really intervened in before. If the operation in this direction is successful, the Great Zhou Dynasty will have more chips to invest in business and trade. But in terms of importance
, this direction is far inferior to the northern and southern fronts that Da Zhou worked hard on before, and Guanzhong, where Da Zhou continued to invest resources and gradually consolidated its advantages.
Therefore, it is also self-evident that the people who can be assigned to be responsible for pioneering in this new direction are also self-evident. Apart from Yin Chang and others who were severely punished for their excessive expansion intentions, who else could be there?
Yelu Chucai has been the chief minister responsible for government affairs around the emperor for many years. His ability to smooth things over and lay out affairs can be said to be rare in the world. The Zhou regime, which has risen so fast and has so many different tribes and backgrounds, has always been able to
Maintaining a stable unity is largely due to Yelu Chucai. In this regard, Yin Chang had to admire this Khitan man.
After taking over the new mission, Yin Chang set off.
On the way, he thought that he might be in another book for a long time from now on and be regarded as a target that needs to be closely monitored. Even so, he still hopes that there will be fewer people around him who bear double responsibilities.
Otherwise, even if I really have the idea of making meritorious service and atone for my sins, the following days will be too suffocating.
After looking at it for a short moment, he decided that there was nothing wrong with these hundreds of people. There was no need to go to Tianjin Mansion to select them again. Just use them. Since he accepted the new appointment, he should be more straightforward and there was no need to delay. If he brought it with him
These people set off as soon as possible, and their loose appearance can just make their opponents feel at ease.
He turned slightly sideways and said to the other person beside him: "This matter is a bit big. I have thought about it over and over again. Your Majesty must have seen it all, and there is no need to cover it up. So I just wrote a letter, asking you to be my representative."
Lieutenant General, I'll pay it back this time. To maintain the trade transshipment, I must rely on my brother. But, do people like us really just focus on business and just be a decoration?"
The middle-aged man next to him was Yan Shi, who had served as Nanjing Road transfer envoy.
Yan Shi was one of the first Shandong heroes to join Guo Ning. In his group, there were Zhang Rong, Zhang Lin, Yan Ning, Dong Jin and others, and now they all have to be reused. Yan Shi himself has also been very stable in his official career.
, once assisted Xu Qi in setting up the inspection department in Shandong, and also served as an internal agent to obtain Jinan Prefecture.
The time he worked as an internal correspondent, it was Yin Chang who was tricked. Yin Chang therefore took refuge in Guo Ning and was optimistic about Yan Shi's talents, so he proposed that Yan Shi be his deputy.
The two people's personalities were in perfect harmony with each other. In the following years, Yin Chang traveled from Jinan to Laizhou, and then from Laizhou to Kaifeng. Yan Shi also followed Yin Chang and held many positions. Step by step, he became the transfer envoy of Nanjing Road and was about to become the Great Zhou Dynasty.
An important official.
As a result, when he was appointed as the transfer envoy, he was tricked by Yin Chang.
Two of Yan Shi's closest subordinates traveled between Tianjin and Kaifeng on a daily basis. Unexpectedly, both of them were persuaded by Yin Chang and involved in several water transport accidents. When His Majesty inquired angrily, Yan Shi failed to report what he knew and was thrown into jail along with Yin Chang.
He was dismissed from office. Now he had to come to the island to seek an opportunity to make atonement for his crimes.
Hearing Yin Chang say this, Yan Shi remained calm, but he was obviously considering what Yin Chang said.
Yin Chang looked to the left and right, lowered his voice and said: "This trip of ours has to be successful and meritorious, and it has to do something with distinctive characteristics, which will be more effective than the left and right sides. Otherwise, we
What's the difference between him and Li Yun? In the future, will His Majesty still think of us who are overseas?"
Yan Shi said: "Old Yin, if you hadn't been trying to cause trouble all day long, I would still be working as a good transporter, and Your Majesty will never forget me."
Yin Chang coughed a few times and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "You and I should look forward, huh?"
Yan Shi said patiently: "Then tell me, what should it be?"
