Chapter 341: The foolish king who also wants to play tricks during the military parade (1st update)
"Zhang'er, my father knows that you are very clever and have many ideas. Now my father happens to have a difficult matter."
Gao Qiu looked at his son Gao Zhang, who had a dazzling number of tricks. Today, the father and son met to play ball, which naturally had a purpose.
"Father, just make it clear. Is it possible that our official family is tired of playing that kind of net football, or maybe we don't like that kind of six-a-side football?"
"Actually, even if you don't ask the child, father, the child still wants to talk to you. The child has come up with some good ideas for playing ball..."
Gao Zhang heard what his father Gao Qiu said, and he immediately and obediently expressed to his father that he had a lot of things in his mind.
The last time his father asked him about his advice, it was because Zhao Ji, an official, was getting tired of playing table football.
As Gao Qiu, the football king who became a great captain of the Song Dynasty by playing ball, he naturally understood that this made the official family lose their sense of freshness.
Then the favor given by the officials to themselves will definitely be weakened.
Fortunately, Gao Qiu, his own father, knew very well that although he was not creative enough, he still had a knowledgeable and talented literary star in his family.
His own son Gao Zhang may not be as good at playing football as he is because of his youth, but his head full of fantastic ideas should be able to meet the needs of the official family.
Maybe other fathers will feel resentful if they find their sons to solve problems when they encounter problems.
But the problem is, the good family atmosphere of the Gao family, coupled with the fact that his own son has demonstrated his ability to be better than others countless times.
Gao Qiu would not feel any shame when asking about his own son. Moreover, his son had a high emotional intelligence and would never hurt his father's self-esteem when speaking.
"No, no, no, what I want to ask about today is not about the various ways to play the ball, but about my father's official business."
Seeing his father's head shaking rapidly, Gao Zhang blinked his eyes and looked expectantly at the leader of the Song Dynasty's military officials.
"In that case, please ask father to make it clear."

As a Taiwei, Gao Qiu has been in charge of the imperial army of the three yamen for several years. But yesterday, the officials summoned Gao Qiu to come for a talk.
What this means is that over the years, the routines of the Song Dynasty's Grand Parade have been the same routines, and the process has been the same. There is not much new idea anymore, and it is really difficult to boost the morale of the military and the people.
The so-called Grand Parade is the grand military parade of later generations, and this kind of grand military parade has been inherited since ancient times.
The most original and basic function of the military parade is to review the army, improve military discipline, adjust the combat strength of the troops, and focus on the inspection of military training results. The ceremony is simple and it focuses on practical results.
Even at the critical moment when the country was about to be destroyed, the emperor still hoped to use a grand military parade to reorganize military appearance, military discipline, and improve the combat effectiveness of the army to defend the declining dynasty.
Another basic function is to boost morale and demonstrate the ruler's attitude of attaching importance to armament and military training. The emperor personally presides over the military parade, which serves as a model for the whole country. It shows that the emperor attaches great importance to military training and encourages and supervises military training throughout the country.
Song Shenzong, the biological father of today's official family, has held many military parades of varying sizes, demonstrating the importance the country attaches to military building.
It reformed the country's military training methods, swept away the decadent military discipline in the early days, and played a positive role in strengthening military training and improving the military's combat effectiveness.
Nowadays, although the Song Dynasty did not have a big victory against Xixia, it still had small victories. In addition, Gao Zhang had settled the Liao Kingdom before.
This allowed the Song Dynasty to continue to mobilize its troops and be ready to attack Xixia.
In this case, the officials naturally became more and more concerned about military affairs. Of course, this does not mean that the officials themselves were crazy and wanted to conquer the war themselves.
Rather, we hope that when the military parade is held this spring, Gao Qiu can come up with some new tricks and new postures.
Let the subjects of the Song Dynasty see the strong character and high momentum of my vigorous man of the Song Dynasty.
After some explanation, Gao Qiu couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his face, and his expectant eyes fell on his son's face.
"My father has been thinking about it for a long time, and I feel that Zhang'er has a smart mind and a lot of ideas, and you can always come up with new ideas every time you do something. I wonder, my son, what do you think about this grand reading?"
After hearing what his biological father told him, Gao Zhang looked at his biological father in front of him with bright eyes.
Oops, I didn’t expect it to be because of something like a military parade. Speaking of which, I had seen a lot of military parades before I traveled through time.
Whether it's Mao's Red Square military parade, Ah San's flying acrobatic military parade, or even the World War II German military parade in movies and TV series.
Of course, our favorite thing is naturally our own military parade, with all kinds of new and advanced weapons coming second.
The key point lies in the spirit of our outstanding people's soldiers, the formation, and the goose step. They are so handsome.
As for military parades in ancient times, Gao Zhang really had never experienced them.
However, since it was my master who was so idle that he wanted to play tricks and perform tricks during the military parade, he proposed to his father that he should come up with new ideas and new postures for the spring parade.
In front of the envoys from all over the world, he showed the new style and appearance of the elite of the Song Dynasty.
You can really do these things by yourself, especially if you can borrow some of the things and means from your biological father.
Incorporating it into the current military doctrine of the Song Dynasty or daily military training is definitely an excellent opportunity to improve the discipline and obedience of the Song Dynasty military.

Gao Zhang waited until his biological father finished speaking, and then began to ask his biological father Gao Qiu for advice seriously.
"It turns out it's about the Grand Parade. Then please tell me, father, in detail about the Grand Parade of our Song Dynasty. What is the military parade like, the procedures and rules, and are there any taboos and speeches?"
Seeing Zhang'er's serious expression, Gao Qiu clarified his thoughts and explained to Gao Zhang one by one the scale, strategy, and procedures of the Song Dynasty's great review.
The main contents of the Grand Parade were somewhat similar to those of later generations. For example, the imperial guards from various places were ordered to send representatives to Beijing to participate in the Grand Parade.
Similar to the ones in later generations, let everyone first appreciate their queue and spirit.
Afterwards, we need to rehearse formations and simulate combat.
In addition, soldiers also need to conduct practical drills, such as archery, six-step shooting, three-horse shooting, etc.
Generally speaking, it is a complex of military parade and military exercises.
By the time my father spoke, foam was forming at the corners of his mouth, and he seemed to be able to talk about this great reading for three days and three nights.
Gao Zhang quickly picked up the tea and blocked his father's mouth.
"Father, please have some tea. After listening to my father's explanation, the child has roughly understood the rules of my Great Song Dynasty. In fact, according to the child, it is not difficult at all to come up with new tricks."
"The difficult part is how to embody the spirit of Wu Ben, the Great Song Dynasty. Regarding this aspect, I have some simple opinions and experiences."
