Looking at the appearance of their master and servant, Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Without His Majesty's will, who would dare to build an army privately? The young army is still just a country warrior, with only three thousand people in number. They are all trained by retired sergeants.
, it will take one or two years to form an army. Wei Chen is just here to ask for a status from His Majesty. His Majesty also needs to put people into it as soon as possible. Wei Chen has now offended the Yushi Yanguan many times and cannot withstand the rumors.
A torrent of gossip."
Yun Zheng could clearly feel the relieved voices of Zhao Zhen and Chen Lin, and the cold atmosphere in the side hall slowly dissipated. Yun Zheng would not believe that there were no strong martial arts guys secretly guarding this side hall.
"Why build such an army?" Zhao Zhen still asked the doubts in his heart.
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "These three thousand young men's army are actually the template for the future army of the Song Dynasty. Not only will Wu Sheng's army be eliminated, but our army of the Song Dynasty will slowly be replaced by armies like the young army in the future."
"Why?" Chen Lin asked.
"Why? It's because the current army of the Song Dynasty has seriously failed to keep up with the pace of military development. As the life and death barrier of the Song Dynasty, they need to complete changes in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can they keep up with the pace of military evolution.
Your Majesty, since the invention of new gunpowder, war has undergone earth-shaking changes. The way of war has been completely and completely changed. In the past, the indestructible city in our eyes has become a smooth road under the power of gunpowder. This time, Wei Chen is fighting
The purpose of entering Jiaozhi was to obtain the wealth of the Jiaozhi Kingdom on the one hand, and on the other hand to use the fortified city of Thang Long City to test the power of the new gunpowder. Needless to say, His Majesty also saw the results.
It took less than a day to capture the fortified city despite the siege of thousands of Jiaozhi troops, leaving King Li Dezheng of Jiaozhi with nowhere to escape.
To be honest, Li Dezheng was not a dim and unprincipled king. On the contrary, he was a king who was famous in both military and political fields. However, the emergence of gunpowder did not give him any room to prepare, and he was finally captured without any help. If your Majesty wanted
Knowing the power of gunpowder, you can ask Li Dezheng, he is the party involved and should have the most say."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "If you want to change the military system, I'm afraid you will encounter obstacles that you can't imagine. Even if I agree with you to do this, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "The difference between the military reform and the political reform is that his changes can have immediate effects. As long as the young army suddenly emerges, there will be no room for ministers not to participate in the reform.
Otherwise, the power of the Youth Army will be too heavy. This is simply not something that the ministers can tolerate. In today's situation surrounded by powerful enemies, they dare not destroy the Great Wall. If they want to dilute the power of the Youth Army, they need to have a team.
They can only compete with the army they can control. Wei Chen does not think that the current army of the Song Dynasty can compete with the young army.
As a famous general of the generation, Di Gong had long seen the way to win for Wu Shengjun. Wei Chen also gave him a large part of the general's gunpowder. Only after trying the power of gunpowder did he take the extraordinary risk to share the rewards of Dali Kingdom equally.
It was given to the Western Army in the hope that the Western Army could catch up with Wu Sheng's army and not fall behind. Therefore, it was unreasonable for those imperial officials to impeach Duke Di.
Judge Di will not tell His Majesty what he said, otherwise he will become a despicable villain in the army. He can only resist these injustices by himself. It doesn't matter if a humble minister says it. If he talks out of it, he is the one who really does things.
scene."
"Do you think those civilian officials will not become resistance to the military reform?" Zhao Zhen became interested. He found that Yunzheng's way of doing things seemed to be very different from others. Other people's reforms were to suppress some people and then use some new people.
, there are always some people with vested interests who will be harmed. Yun Zheng's method is to twist all the forces into one rope. He would like to hear Yun Zheng's opinions in this regard.
"Your Majesty, Duke Pang, Duke Han, and even Duke Wen, who has a quarrel with Wei Chen, which one is not a pillar? Not to mention them, although Wei Chen had a slight advantage in the fight with Fu Bi in Fengxiang Mansion,
But you know how Wei Chen came out of Fengxiang Mansion. He was rushing day and night, which made Fu Bi slow down a step and call him He He.
Bao Gong, Zeng Gong, which one of these people is an outstanding person? Without such a large number of talents, if Wei Chen is asked to do so many things by himself, Wei Chen will not be able to do it even if he is exhausted.
My mentor once said that if a donkey refuses to move, it will go backwards. As long as you hang a carrot on the donkey's head, it will move forward obediently. I deeply agree with this."
Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Where is your carrot?"
Chen Lin also smiled and said: "The Yan Yan masters in the court are all real tigers. How can they be the donkeys you mentioned?"
Yun Zheng followed with a smile and said: "His Majesty Wu Shengjun saw it, right? I must have asked your Majesty for the soldiers of Wu Shengjun these days. I am afraid that the nine military princes have been assigned by those colleagues in their hearts. Where is Zeng Gongliang?
I'm afraid the gunpowder has been distributed by now, right?
I dare to say that they will not act rashly before His Majesty has selected the soldiers of Wu Shengjun. Once His Majesty has finished selecting the soldiers of Wu Shengjun, my colleagues will pounce on Wu Shengjun like hungry tigers and divide Wu Shengjun into pieces.
Once these people are divided among their colleagues, they have only one purpose, which is to unite the army. Since these people already bear the brand of Wu Shengjun, the army they train will be almost the same as Wu Shengjun. This is also your Majesty's wish.
What you don't know is that once these armies become the second Wu Sheng army, their habits and practices will inevitably move closer to the young army. When those armies can't help but complete the changes, hehe, it will be Wei Chen and others' turn to lead the army to attack Yan
It’s time to conquer the Sixteenth Prefecture. It’s time for me, the Song Dynasty, to fulfill Taizu’s great ambition.”
Zhao Zhen suppressed his trembling hands and hissed: "Do you have a comprehensive plan?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "This is a huge plan. Wei Chen is going to discuss it with Di Gong and then discuss it with His Majesty. If Your Majesty has leisure, you might as well participate together. Wei Chen and Di Gong are responsible for drawing up the plan, and His Majesty is responsible for the back.
Supervise and supervise, Wei Chen does not believe that in five years, our army of the Song Dynasty will not be able to cross the Yishui River."
Zhao Zhen wandered around the hall for several times before calming down his almost boiling blood, and said quietly: "It is my decree that Di Qing confiscated it privately. His crime is unforgivable. I ordered you to confiscate the seal in Di Qing's hand and shut yourself up to reflect on your mistakes. No order.
He is not allowed to leave the capital. Yunzheng beat the censor and acted recklessly. This is a punishment that cannot be taught. He is ordered to study behind closed doors and cannot leave the capital without orders."
Yun Zheng said in surprise: "Your Majesty, I still plan to participate in the competition."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "You will get your wish."
Yun Zheng saw that the emperor seemed a little tired and unwilling to talk to him, so he said goodbye with a wink. When the emperor nodded, Chen Lin accompanied him out of the palace.
After leaving the Zichen Palace and arriving at the Daqing Gate, Yun Zheng stopped and asked Cheng Lin to turn around. He did not dare to treat this old eunuch too lightly.
Chen Lin whispered: "Let me send you out of the palace. Today's words are worthy of my words. I am old and can still see new changes in the country. I hope I can wait until you send troops to change the water."
.”
Yun Zheng looked at the dazzling sunshine outside Daqing Gate and said: "You will definitely see that Shi Jingtang, the son of the emperor, ruined the sixteen states of Yanyun, leaving our country without any danger to defend, and the people were plundered and enslaved by foreign enemies.
Maid, the Song Dynasty has been waiting fearfully for the invasion of the enemy for many years. We have nothing but everything. Every war has brought the most cruel disaster to the Song Dynasty.
I am lazy by nature. I originally wanted to spend my whole life wandering under the spring forest. After a helpless attack, I was dragged into this world of mortals. Now that I have come out of the mountain, I will do something real and defeat all the enemies around me.
If you don’t believe that you don’t have a leisurely life, then I will ask Your Majesty for an island, where you can plant ten miles of peach blossoms, where you can herd horses, chop firewood, carry water, and open the doors and windows and see the boundless sea. Please help me remember that if one day I am captured.
The world of mortals has blurred your eyes, just tell me that you once had such a dream."
Sure enough, Chen Lin stopped seeing Yun Zheng off and saw him striding towards Buhua Hall. This time Yun Zheng did not go wrong. He walked from the left, but he walked very quickly.
Chen Lin squinted her eyes and looked at Yun Zheng who was striding away with a smile and murmured to herself: "I will remember your words. Even if I die, someone will remember your words and remind you that you want a house."
island!"
Chen Lin walked into the hall with a hunched body. Zhao Zhen was circling in the palace like a donkey. There were no eunuchs or maids around him. Seeing Chen Lin come in, Zhao Zhen helped him sit down and said: "
Big companion, do you think Yunzheng’s plan is feasible?”
"It depends on man-made efforts, Your Majesty, everything depends on man-made things. Yunzheng has sown a seed. We will see it sprout and bear fruit with our own eyes. All we have to do is cultivate this seedling carefully."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Yun Zheng's performance today is much more feasible than Fan Wenzheng's performance back then. One is like spring rain moistening all things, silently, and the other is like a sudden thunder, shaking the mountains and the earth."
, the Song Dynasty could not withstand such thunder, so it had to wrong him. Do you know, I look at the bright moon outside the window in the middle of the night and think about it. The Qingli New Deal started with my hands and died by my hands. I don’t know whether my decision is good or not.
Correct, now I have no regrets, Yunzheng's method is better than his, I won't let it go."
Chen Lin looked at the emperor whose expression changed from happy to depressed, and finally burst into tears. She gently stroked his shoulder and said: "Fan Wenzheng will not blame you. It's because they didn't do it well themselves. They made earth-shattering publicity before things were done.
You have gathered countless enemies for yourself, you are doing it for the stability of the imperial court, there is nothing wrong with that."
Zhao Zhen gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "With the blessing of our ancestors, the Song Dynasty has suffered from constant natural disasters over the years, which has made people heartbroken. Now I have finally seen the light of day, and I will never allow such vicissitudes to affect our territory of the Song Dynasty." (
