Although the Tang Dynasty is now in full swing, it has won the entire south in one fell swoop, and even the Wu and Yue Kingdom can only marry their daughters to pay tribute, so it has become a reality to rule the river.

Many civil and military ministers were immersed in this atmosphere of restoring the country and becoming strong. They were unavoidable and slack was inevitable.

If it were the second-generation emperors like Li Yu and Meng Chang, Li Jia naturally didn't take it seriously and just started to accumulate strength step by step, and then just pushed forward.

But this is Zhao Kuangyin!

No matter how much he belittled the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, as Taizu, was the best in the world in terms of his ability and civil and military skills.

Some people say that it was just usurping Chai Rong's fruits of victory, but why did Zhao Kuangyin succeed? Li Chongjin, Li Yun and others failed, and it was not easy to usurp the throne!

First of all, Zhao Kuangyin's father was an imperial guard general. He was born in the imperial guards. From the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou, although the country names were different, the essence was still the same wave of imperial guards, the combination of Shatuo people and Han people, and then inherited from generation to generation.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin was naturally like a fish in water, and was able to get along among the imperial guards. In addition, he was thick-skinned, open-minded, loyal and righteous, and was not careful about details. He had brothers from Yishe as soon as he came out of the cottage and had his own power.

There were brothers from Yishe in the army, and in the court, there were leaders, and Prime Minister Wang Pu dealt with him.

During the period before the yellow robe was put on, many generals were transferred from school positions. Taking advantage of Wang Pu and others' lack of military power, Zhao Kuangyin silently suppressed his opponents and transferred Guo Rong's closeness to the school from the capital, thus usurping the throne in one fell swoop.

Whether it is power struggle or combat ability, Zhao Kuangyin is very powerful.

Therefore, Li Jia naturally could not relax, but instead continued to maintain a tense momentum and could not relax the control of the army.

Condolences and rewards are just a part of them, and the emperor's ritual is not that simple.

There are now three major parts of the Tang army sequence, namely, the imperial guards responsible for the capital and the war, the guards guarding the local areas, and the patrol camps that maintain public order.

There is also the closest Yuan army, who is responsible for guarding the imperial city. It is composed of close troops from Yongzhou and Hainan, and is treated best.

The imperial guards in the capital had about 80,000 people, and were distributed in all directions of Changsha City. However, each camp had no chief officer, and was commanded by four wings, that is, the military commander.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army coordinated the management and strictly prevented the emergence of generals like Zhao Kuangyin in the Imperial Army, so there was no commander of ten thousand people at all. The largest scale was only 2,500 people at the wing level.

When a war broke out, temporary appointments were made, and daily management and coordination were managed by the Governor's Office, hundreds of documents, frugal affairs, and staff members, each performing their duties.

After the reward was over, Li Jiaze summoned the military police department and the heads of the baggage battalion in each case to meet in person to understand the situation.

"Now the military disciplines of each army are relatively strict, and there are very few people who violate the law and discipline. They dare not slacke in their daily practice. Currently, there are 1,356 people who are convicted and detained in the military prison, and most of them are cheating, stealing out of the camp, harassing the people, and there are very few who are truly guilty of death!"

Dozens of people stood in a row, personally counted by the head of the military police department, and faced the emperor with a stern face and spoke, saying, he was holding paper and preparing to start telling the details, but was interrupted by Li Jia.

"You don't have to tell me too much. I just want to know which military law in the imperial guards is the most criminal!"

Li Jia shook her head and asked directly.

"Report to Your Majesty, the gendarmerie teams responded that many soldiers complained that they were practicing too frequently, so they were too nervous and exhausted physically and mentally, so they were prone to make mistakes and fatigue. Even, many soldiers roared for no reason in the middle of the night and went crazy!"

"If this continues, the possibility of a camp roar is getting higher and higher, and the gendarmerie will be unable to suppress it!"

The Military Police Department is directly under the Governor's Office of the Five Army and has special independence. Its chief commander, each of which is the commander of the brigade and the battalion is the team leader. The person who reports to Li Jia in front of him was Zhuo Ming, the commander of the Military Police Department, a stern man.

At this moment, there was still a little worry on his stiff face, which showed that the situation was very serious.

"Have you over-trained?" Li Jia whispered.

For ordinary elite soldiers, they mainly practice every three days and every five days. If they practice frequently, they must have physical strength, which means they consume a lot of food.

If others can't do it, Li Jiading did it. He served rice without limit, provided meat every now and then, and even soybean oil, which naturally maintained the system of daily training for the army.

After all, since there is no frequent war to build elite soldiers, it is possible to use training to build them, coupled with strong armor and sharp weapons, which will definitely defeat the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, with the reaction of the Military Police Department, Li Jia couldn't help but think: "Frequent training only takes into account physical reasons, but not mental factors."

But this cannot be entirely blamed. After all, it would be good to have enough food in this troubled times. It would be difficult to be a normal person. No wonder he ignored it.

After all, this is not a farming game, and the army is not a NPC, but a living person, flesh and blood, soul and soul.

"It's time to consider the construction of the army!" Li Jia sighed.

When those Taoist priests were there before, there was never such a problem. After the Taoist priests were removed, no one would maintain their physical and mental health without the support of their faith.

However, in order to control the army, Taoist priests are destined to leave, and religions absolutely cannot control the army.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard is the elite of the world. If you practice so frequently, you are too anxious. It is better to slow down!" Zhuo Ming, commander of the Gendarmerie Department, suggested.

"No!" Li Jia shook her head and said, "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The same is true for the army. Just like a woman, once it is loose, it will not be tighter, and men will not like it!"

"The practice must be done every day, but it can be easier to reduce the difficulty and give the soldiers a chance to breathe a sigh of relief!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good idea.

"That's it!" Li Jia thought for a while, decided to learn from the experience of the time traveler and said directly: "At the hour before the sunset every day, each box will hold a Cuju competition, which combines education and entertainment. It can also allow the teachers of the military school to tell you some stories and let the soldiers loosen the string!"

"I'm afraid it's not good to play in the military camp!"

"Cuju is similar to the military formation. The Khitans can carry out large-scale hunting to train their troops. We use Cuju, which is also a good way. Don't look down on it!"

Li Jia said without comment: "When there are too many horses, you can also perform polo that was popular in the previous Tang Dynasty, which is also good!"
