Chapter 29

Qin Hui was very happy at first, but when Zhao Huan said this, he felt like a thorn on his back. Under the surprise, he even sweated heavily in his clothes.

After the palace maid left, a servant on duty had already arrived to serve. The emperor summoned the prime minister and did not think it was so strange. The emperor and his ministers talked a few words, but the servant kept remembering it, thinking that he would set an example in future generations.

Zhao Huan and Qin Hui joked a few times, and then looked at his face, eyebrows and eyes full of exhaustion. Although he knew what kind of person this person was, he would enjoy it in his heart, and he praised him a few more words.

After a few words, Qin Hui's face turned around, but Zhao Huan stopped his smile and said seriously: "Tell me, what exactly is the Qing army this time?"

Qin Hui was excited, raised his eyebrows, and said to Zhao Huanlang: "This time, the Qing army has been cleared from the imperial guards to the wing army, more than 13,000 people have been deposed, and 6,100 people have been detained. The six routes in Shaanxi have been cleared out in total 20,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who are not able to serve as the army."

"good."

Zhao Huan was also happy. The Qing army of the Song Dynasty also had a system, which was effective in the early years. Now no one is willing to offend people. The effectiveness of the Qing army this time is related to Qin Hui's real effectiveness.

Seeing that he was happy, Qin Hui also smiled happily and said, "According to His Majesty's plan, after the clearance, he will select excellent martial warriors from the soldiers of the Gongshou Township in Shaanxi and reorganize them into the army. In this way, although the number of people is roughly the same, the combat power is actually improved, which is completely different from the lazy situation in the past."

Zhao Huan was not as optimistic as Qin Hui. Seeing that he was so excited, he just smiled faintly and asked, "How can I see it?"

Qin Hui was most afraid of his innocent face. He felt cold in his heart, so he could only take his face away and said carefully: "The imperial guards have a very high salary and good treatment. Who would not want to join the imperial guards? In the past, they were tired and distracted, and the imperial guards did not take military orders and disciplines as their intentions, and the combat power declined. Now Your Majesty made up his mind to send me to clean up strictly. When I came to the army, the soldiers of the three armies were all afraid and vigilant. The Qing army all cried loudly and regretted not practicing martial arts that day and even went out to the army. In this way, those who stayed know that the military disciplines were different, and those who entered the army also knew that the military disciplines were different. Moreover, Your Majesty also had a statement first. After this Qing army, the generals often sent the military supervisors to station in the army to strictly enforce military orders and disciplines, which was a common example. In this way, why worry about the three armies not serving their lives and fighting to the death when they encountered the enemy!"

He thought about this statement in advance and made it clear in order to make Zhao Huan more trustworthy and happy. He could even make him serve as Privy Councilor.

But after saying that, Zhao Huan's face remained unchanged. Although he said, "Qin Qing has a good sense of knowledge." He was obviously perfunctory, how could he care about it?

He naturally didn't know. In fact, this kind of reform and improvement in military system could not be covered by the Qing army. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the combat effectiveness of the army has become lower and lower. After the failure of the military system of the Tang Dynasty and the military system of the army, the recruitment system of the Song Dynasty failed again. When the military system of the Ming Dynasty was in the military system, it was a failure of failure.

Anyone who knows a little about history knows that the Song Dynasty's army has many disadvantages of low combat effectiveness. It has no natural horse-raising land and cannot have a large-scale cavalry team, it is also related to the emperor's blind command, it is also related to the distrust of military generals and the inability to reuse it. Using the new garrison method to make the soldiers unable to recognize generals and generals do not recognize soldiers to limit the authority of military generals was the first in the Song Dynasty.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, this situation was changed to a considerable extent. Although there was still no established cavalry team, the army formed by relying on the personal charm of famous generals such as Yue Fei was strict in discipline and strong fighting will, and could still maintain strong fighting spirit in the face of superior enemies. This situation also weakened the government's influence in the army, causing the army to gradually form a general to lead private soldiers.

The Yue family generals, the Taiwei Army, and the Wu family army, all kinds of names have made the army's personal loyalty to the generals reach a dangerous situation that the Song Dynasty had never had before.

This is what Zhao Huan is thinking about.

Of course he believed in the loyalty of Yue Fei and others, but any act of privateizing the army would make those in power unable to rest assured, and naturally he could not avoid it.

In order to prevent such an embarrassing situation from happening in the future, we must first prepare for the future and carry out reforms in the military system. Not only should we strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army, but we should also strengthen the government's absolute control over the military. The Qing army repelled the elderly and the weak, which was just the simplest surgical fur surgery and could not fundamentally solve the problem.

He just thought and calculated this way, even if he told Qin Hui to listen, he didn't understand at all.

Although this person has some talent, he is too enthusiastic, which is exactly the same as his records in history books.

How could Zhao Huan feel at ease to discuss the reform of the entire military system with him if this person is making trouble in it, it will be unbearable.

He only thought about his thoughts, but Qin Hui didn't know what was wrong. He only watched Zhao Huan's face become more and more gloomy, but he didn't know where he angered the emperor.

After a while, Zhao Huan suddenly asked: "This time you went to the Qing army in various directions, except for the generals who went to fight, the rest of the remaining generals were in contact. How did you feel?"

Qin Hui looked embarrassed and stammered.

Zhao Huan understood and waved, "Everyone else retreated."

Everyone withdrew according to their orders. The system was a system. Zhao Huan’s land was majestic, but no one dared to violate it. Seeing everyone withdrawing, Qin Hui said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of my ministers, among the generals in Shaanxi, Liu Qi should be the best, and the rest are insignificant."

"No," Zhao Huan nodded, agreeing with his opinion.

Liu Qi, the commander of the Battle of Shunchang, defeated 100,000 Jin soldiers with 20,000 people, and was famous. Although he was not the four generals of Zhongxing, he was just caused by the lack of qualifications and command of the battle. In fact, in terms of contributions and abilities, he was far above Liu Guangshi and others.

Qin Hui received encouragement and said, "The Wu brothers are also talents."

"Yes, you are very kind."

The general is naturally not the handsome talent. Qin Hui did not say anything clearly, and Zhao Huan knew it in his heart.

"Qu Duan is a handsome talent, but he is not enterprising enough to be successful."

Zhao Huan also nodded. He knew that although Qin Hui had a low character and poor military talent, for a well-known treacherous minister and traitor, identifying people was the most basic skill. Qin Hui's performance at this time was indeed not beyond his expectations.

Seeing Qin Hui open his mouth to speak, Zhao Huan suddenly said to him: "How about Zhang Jun?"

Qin Hui did not hesitate and immediately replied: "This man is corrupt and cruel, so he can control his army under the command. He has not seen his strength in the march and formation. Besides, his character is humble and ineffective."

Zhao Huan looked at Qin Hui as if he was not smiling.

Qin Hui felt his whole body numb, and he didn't know what the emperor was thinking about.

However, he didn't know that although he pretended to be very good, he looked like he was rebellious and honest. In fact, Zhao Huan had already known the truth clearly. If he was humble in character, Zhang Jun would naturally be like this, but how could you, Mr. Qin, be strong?

But Zhao Huan pondered again, "This person is concerned about the ninth brother, and is silly to me. I know very well. However, even if he is focused on me, I cannot use such a person. Is it the merit of his subordinates the generals? What does this person have to do with him? This person's best is to make money and have no other strengths."

After the emperor gave such a test, he obviously sentenced Zhang Jun to death. Qin Hui secretly felt fortunate that he did not keep it in this matter. It was exactly the emperor's thoughts.

But Zhao Heng said again: "How about taking away the military power of this person?"

This topic is more serious than just evaluating it. Qin Hui lowered his head and thought about it carefully. After a while, Fang gritted his teeth and said, "There is a minister who needs to suppress the morale of the army and then act vigorously and vigorously. It will not give Zhang Jun the opportunity to arrange it calmly."

Zhao Heng looked at him and asked, "Does this man dare to rebel? Can his subordinates obey him?"

Qin Hui replied: "In the eyes of the minister, Zhang Jun treats the soldiers cruelly and leniently to the generals, and never stings when rewarding them. Therefore, although his talents are not obvious, he does not lose the desire to support the soldiers. He naturally dares not to rebel, and his subordinates will definitely not obey. However, if he turns to the Jin people, his subordinates will be bewitched by him, and his personal soldiers will be conscripted, they may not be able to succeed."

Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, his voice suddenly became louder, and he said, "No wonder His Majesty left him and his heart and accomplices in Chang'an City, but for this."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Although I am tolerant, an incompetent and cowardly person like Zhang Jun cannot be kept. This matter can be handled when Li Gang comes back."

Qin Hui felt frightened, and the emperor's tricks had reached such a point. He asked questions just now, but it seemed that he was just a test of himself. In fact, the emperor had a good idea of ​​how to deal with it.

But he couldn't understand that a general who was commanding troops like Zhang Jun would inevitably have a single move, and he didn't know why the emperor told him at this time.

Seeing his face turned blue and white, Zhao Huan naturally knew what he was thinking, so he laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I will tell you this, but I believe you will not miss the news."

Qin Hui knelt down and kowtowed, crying and said, "Your Majesty is so trustworthy, I am ashamed of my great shame."

While he was pretending, Zhao Huan said again: "It's just that I told you at this time, it's not that there is no reason."

"Please give me a message."

"The black card of the Shuyuan has arrived. After receiving my order, the governor of Taizhou, Yue Fei, immediately used troops to destroy Liu Guangshi's troops. Liu Guangshi was captured and the army was defeated. The Lin'an Rebellion was already settled."

"ah??"

Qin Hui was shocked all over, and his mouth was opened, and he couldn't close for a while.

He was the same as ordinary people. He didn't know that Zhao Huan also used Yue Fei's secret card, but he knew that Li Gang went to Xiangyang and his subordinates' army went from Jingxiang to Liangzhe to quell the rebellion.

From the time the army gathered from Shaanxi, then had to pass through Guanzhong, Qinling Mountains, and Hanzhong, and then it could speed up the journey through the water route. It would be the end of April that the army would leave Sichuan, let alone reaching the city of Lin'an to quell the rebellion.

Xue Qiang and Wang Yongcheng rushed all the way and had already arrived in Taizhou. Even Zhao Huan didn't know how Yue Fei did after receiving the imperial edict. He just knew that in less than ten days, Yue Fei defeated the Liu army in less than 50,000 people under Lin'an City, and captured Liu Guangshi in the chaos.
