The first year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

In the northwest of Kaifeng Prefecture, Moutuogang Daying, and within the schoolyard, there are tigers and besieges.

More than 18,000 model new soldiers, wearing Fan Yang hats and neat red battle jackets, stood silently. 36 battalions and 144 teams (4 rows of horizontal formations). They formed a perfect lineup, as strict as a knife and axe chopped out.

One team in each team, one escort team and four fire chiefs, were all standing at the front, polished to the shiny and shining, and the Zhenhe Crab armor reflecting the sun was worn on her body, like six statues of steel, without moving for a moment.

Not to mention whether these more than 18,000 people can fight, but the murderous aura that queuing out of this queue has surpassed that of the Kaifeng Imperial Army.

The Kaifeng Imperial Army is a military that has been queuing for decades, so it is impossible to fight. It is best to line up to pretend to be an elite.

However, compared with the new army that has been officially established less than a year ago and a considerable number of soldiers have only been enlisted for two months, the gap is quite obvious.

Before the square formation, there was a wooden square platform. The platform was empty, with only two officials, one civil and one military officers. The civil officer was Zhang Kegong, the model New Army Supervisor, and the military officer was Zhong Fu, the model New Army Commander.

Both of them looked at the army in front of them, and their brows were also frowning.

Zhang Kegong frowned because this army violated the family laws of the ancestors!

The inherent military system of the Song Dynasty was based on the principle of "generals do not know the soldiers, and soldiers do not know the generals". Theoretically, only low-level soldiers who commanded the first level can become one with the soldiers, while senior generals must keep a distance from the soldiers.

But now, the model new army has implemented the "military mechanism" and has completely opened up the grassroots of generals, generals, and departments at all levels to battalions, teams, fire and other grassroots, not only formed a system, but also allowed a group of military opportunities that only had ninth-rank officials to gain great power.

The model new army had a general army computer room, and the general level had military affairs and military officers at the minister level. Moreover, these "military aircraft" were not the same as the "jiyi text" known to Zhang Kegong. In addition to handling official documents, Jiyi text could only "sponsorship and planning" and had no real power. The military service of the model new army was to take charge of everything, manage operations, train, equipment, and food and salary! Almost nothing was the "strategy" and "jianbai" of the general army computer room... And the orders of the general army must be conveyed to the subordinate army computer room through the general army computer room and the military officers at the same time. The imperial edicts of the court must also be issued to the general army computer room through the Dujun Massachusetts.

In other words, a group of low-level military officers from the ninth grade are actually in control of the model new army now!

Although this arrangement also appears to be in line with the principle of "big and small" in employing people in the Song Dynasty, these military opportunities for the right-ranking Jinshi were almost all studying at the Knights Academy under the Jihe Yuntai Academy before high school.

These ninth-rank military officers who actually controlled the model new army were simply classmates from the same school!

In addition, there are a considerable number of preparations (battalion officers) and deputy preparations, which are also from the Knights Academy.

If these low-level officers from Knight Academy and who were also ranked as the Jinshi of the right-ranked Jinshi colluded to cause trouble, would they make a scene of wearing yellow robe?

It's really hard to say!

Just as Zhang Kegong saw through everything, Zhong Fu was having a headache for the model New Army's armor and weapons to be unable to be in place.

According to the "Model New Army Grouping Strategy" formulated by the Dujun Magistrates Department, among the model new army with a total strength of more than 23,000, 18,000 were combat soldiers, divided into four generals, twelve units, thirty-six battalions, and 144 teams. All were infantry and were not equipped with cavalry. The 144 teams were also "pure teams", that is, teams equipped with a type of main combat weapon. There were thirty-six teams each equipped with spears, swords and shields, bows and arrows, and divine arm bows. All spears and swords and shields were equipped with full armor, bows and arrows, and divine arm bows.

However, now only the Jiehe Crab Armors, which are assigned to officers at the team level (including the team), are all in place, and none of the other armor, paper armor, and pierced slugs are in place. None of the Divine Arm Bows are in place. Although the stair bows and feather arrows are in place, the quality is poor and they are not enough to be used. The quality of the ring-headed straight swords of the Knife and Shield Team is very worrying, and the Vine Shield Team is only given one-third. Most of the slugs are not in compliance with specifications, the materials are sloppy, and the length is not uniform...

Instead, there were no pack horses (horse picks), vehicles, tents and various utensils that should be assigned to auxiliary soldiers.

For this reason, Zhong Fu not only transferred a certificate to the Du Junji Office, but also responded directly to Zhao Ji through the Imperial Medicine Academy. However, it was like a rock sinking into the sea and there was no reply at all.

Woo woo...

The warlock was given. Just as Zhong Fu and Zhang Kegong were thinking about their own thoughts, the warlock suddenly sounded like a sob. Then he heard the sound of horse hooves, and the flag gate opened wide on the side of the colonel. A strong horse came out first, and the horseman was wearing a warlock armor, shining under the sun, piercing the eyes. Following behind, there was a knight wearing a black mountain leather armor, holding the flag with one hand, and the four big words "The King of Military Machinery" were written on it.

It turned out to be the deployment officer who read today, and the model of the new army general army king.

Only Wang Bing was heard riding a horse around the military formation on the field, and shouting loudly: "The saint is here, the saint is here!"

The saint who arrived was Zhao Ji, and today's review was prepared for him!

As Wang Bing shouted, the officers leading the team immediately began to take the lead and shouted long live, and then all the soldiers shouted together. More than 18,000 mouths opened, and the "Long live, long live" that exhaled was neatly like a person.

Obviously, this move was also practiced with great effort.

When the earth was shaking, the official Zhao Ji was already riding a third-generation hippo with bright armored soldiers, surrounded by a group of brightly armored military generals and knights, and proudly came out from behind the flag gate. Following behind were a group of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries.

The officials frowned slightly, and most of the envoys shook their heads slightly, and the Song Dynasty has become increasingly unreasonable in recent years! If you don’t do civil governance well, why did you dive into the road of military and military failure? Two years ago, the Xixia army was just defeated by the Hexi army, and this year, you are struggling to fight the Heikhan Uighurs... Not only do you want to fight the Heikhan Uighurs, but there are also many Song army naval troops on the sea. Today, you will be surrounded by islands and tomorrow, and it is said that it is an indivisible Chinese territory since ancient times! In a few days, you will have to make a concession on foreign territory, which is a great success!

What's even more unreasonable is that the good imperial examinations are also tending to be ruined. Last year's competition, a group of unstudy students who are not good at writing articles (in fact, the articles on the right-listed Jinshi are OK, and there are literature classes in Yuntai Academy, but they just can't reach the point where people applaud, which made Shilin angry.

The envoys of the Great Liao Kingdom, Goryeo Kingdom, Annan Kingdom, Dali Kingdom, and several small Tubo countries saw the so-called elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and the stones in their hearts fell to the ground.

The emperor's personal army was not even equipped with armor and equipment, and all of them were infantry, and none of them rode horses. Such a lineup was much worse than in previous years.

It seems that if the Song Dynasty continues to struggle like this, it is probably not far from the destruction of the country...

By the way, those small Tubo countries had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, but after the Hehuang was completely pacified, Wang Hou, who was very fond of merit, sent envoys to issue a group of official edicts from General Lao Shizi and Jiedu, so they all sent people to join in the fun this year.

...

Zhao Ji didn't feel that he was going to be the king of the country to be destroyed at all. On the contrary, when he saw the majestic army in front of him, he was already a little fluttering, and Long Xin was very happy!

He knew that 15,000 of the 18,000 troops here were recruits who had only been enlisted for a few months. The training of recruits to this level in just a few months has fully proved the efficiency of the "military mechanism".

Even if Zhao Ji doesn't understand military affairs very much, he can understand the significance of it. The Song Dynasty can quickly explode soldiers in the future! He can train tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in a few months and a year. Which country in the world can compete with the Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty has a population of millions! This "military mechanism" turns the population advantage of the Song Dynasty into combat power.

Even if two or three model new soldiers were exchanged for a Khitan warrior, hundreds of thousands of deaths could destroy the Khitan warriors. Then isn’t the Khitan just a lamb at slaughter?

When the Uighurs in the northwest are pacified, they can consider the Northern Expedition of Yanyun! At that time, Wu Haogu sent troops from Jiehe, Gao Qiu and Tong Guan sent troops from Shuofang, and asked Zhong Fu to send troops from Hedong, and he should be able to pacify the Khitan in one fell swoop.

Zhao Ji took a look at Wu Haogu who was following him, and he became more and more pleasing to him. There was such a capable minister in the Song Dynasty, but he was afraid that he would not be able to pacify the world. He would be promoted to him as a military governor, and he could also be promoted to a higher level, become a founding county magistrate, and add hundreds of households to his fief!

In addition, the two brothers and father who gave him were also transferred to the first office... By the way, his mother, Feng, had a good education in her children, and it was time to give him a master of imperial edicts. Wu Haogu's wife Pan Qiaolian had long been a master of imperial edicts. This was based on Wu Haogu's official position, but Feng Erniang had never enjoyed the treatment of Wu Haogu's mother, so there was no imperial edict.

At this time, Wu Haogu did not expect that he and his two younger brothers would be promoted soon. It doesn’t matter whether he is promoted or not. He is now the defensive commander of the official position, and he is the Grand Marshal at the third level.

If you reach this level, you will be even more hated!

So what he has to consider now is not how to improve, but to advance, two, retreat one, and temporarily disappear from the political whirlpool of Kaifeng Prefecture for a period of time.

In addition, Gao Qiu, a terrible warlord, must not be allowed to retreat from the position of Xuanfu, the third northwest route!

He has to continue to gain his own troops and be highly motivated...
Chapter completed!
