For soldiers, there are always only two states: war and preparation for war.

This sentence was proposed by Zhao Zhen, and it also entered the bones of the Song Dynasty's army. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the army has been in a state of silence. "Thanks to" the fact that Taizu's yellow robe was used, the people of the Zhao family had a natural fear of the army.

The generals also became the "enemy" that the old Zhao family was most guarded against.

It can be said that there are almost no fear of military generals like the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in all dynasties, but it only changes when Zhao Zhen is here, at least it is a change in attitude. Although we must be careful of the possibility of rebellion by the generals, we cannot give up because of the choke.

Similarly, military construction cannot be relaxed. This sentence makes special sense to the emperor.

Both are indispensable for governing the country with literature and for ensuring national security. Since Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, he has always advocated this theory. After repeated repetition, he unconsciously influenced the Song Dynasty and the public opinion, and eventually formed an influence in the Song Dynasty.

The treatment in the army was excellent. When the Song Dynasty was rich, it could not only take care of the civil officials and give them high salaries and integrity, but also improve and improve the treatment in the army. Zhao Zhen always regarded soldiers as the Great Wall of the Song Dynasty. If the horse wanted to run away, he had to eat enough, so Zhao Zhen naturally would not treat them unfairly.

So before I knew it, a craze for military participation emerged, and the Military Academy was also full of recruitment every year.

A country has limited talents. When the court invests more resources into civil officials, there are naturally more literati. Scholars hope to break the shackles by entering the officialdom and soar into the sky in the imperial examinations.

With the support of the imperial court for military generals, more and more people joined the army in the Song Dynasty. The treatment of the Military Academy was speechless, and it was impossible to help but include food, accommodation, clothing, ice and charcoal, and even taking care of their children.

This is a treatment that even the Imperial College does not have. As long as one person enters the Military Academy, the whole family can get more or less benefits. Who doesn’t care about such good things? If a student from the Military Academy comes out, the whole alley will envy him.

Therefore, more and more people in the Song Dynasty hoped to pass the Military Academy exam and become one of them. As long as they passed the Military Academy exam, they could at least join the Beiwei Army as a Yuhou, and after being tempered from the Beiwei Army, they would not be able to rank as a captain.

How many troops are there in the Song Dynasty now? More than just hundreds of thousands!

The Sixteen Guards are the permanent army of local armed forces, with 10,000 people per army of 10,000, which is not considered a retired veteran who can be recruited at any time. In fact, the Sixteen Guards can be expanded to three times the current one within a period of time.

The number of imperial guards was even greater. I don’t know how many veterans retired from the Fourth Army and the Border Army. The factories in the Song Dynasty liked to use these fighting men, so they would not worry about not having any landfall.

Even if they don’t want to enter the factory, the court will add some places to the local prefectures every year to serve as constables. If they get the support of Shangguan for two years and solve a few more cases, it would be amazing. They may not be able to change from constables to captains, and captains can still rise. As long as they make meritorious service, captains can become county lieutenants!

Zhao Zhen's series of operations made the people of the Song Dynasty enthusiastic about joining the army. Many people even abandoned their civil and military affairs and received quite good treatment.

Of course, the benefits of soldiers are naturally more important. Training and combat are extremely difficult. Discipline is the iron law in the army. Even the chief general cannot violate it, and ideological construction is indispensable. On the one hand, the marching Sima, who is a civil servant, can ensure the effective implementation of superior orders, and on the other hand, it must also ensure the discipline and loyalty of the army.

It can be said that the Song army has become an army that transcends this era. Whether it is training, discipline, or armour, it has long been the peak of this era and is also the strongest guarantee for the Song Dynasty.

The autumn sacred in Mulan paddock is the place where the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were performed. In autumn, the autumn sacred sacrifice was to be sacrificed. For the Song Dynasty, this is a good opportunity for exercises. How can we let it go easily?

The exercise naturally requires a venue, so the Mulan paddock is the most suitable place. The Song Dynasty held large-scale military exercises here every year to improve the combat power and cooperation between the troops.

Of course, the winner is rewarded.

Zhao Zhen got out of the car and turned over to visit the construction of the yard. It was obvious that the place had been completed, and the fences were made of wood around him. At the same time, the place where the two armies confronted each other was also ready.

Cai Boqi kept explaining to Zhao Zhen on the side: "The official family is the Beiwei Army's garrison in the east, with about 20,000 people. These people are training here during this period, and the Longwei Army's garrison in the west. They train there. The two sides fought several times, and each other won and lost."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and a sudden thought came out. He looked at Cai Boqi and said, "It's good, but I plan to be here in Qiuhua this year. Seeing that the time is not short, I will not return to Shendu City and send an order back to let the officials involved in Qiuhua in Shendu City come by themselves!"

Cai Boqi was slightly stunned: "Will the official family go back to the court first?"

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, I am in Mulan paddock now. What do you mean is to let me return to Shendu from here first, and then back from Shendu?!"

Cai Boqi didn't know what Zhao Zhen was thinking, but he still felt that there was something wrong with it. He whispered to Zhao Zhen: "Officials, may you not want to come back to your senses, right?"

Zhao Zhen patted his shoulder: "Things in Shendu City are a little messy, I want to be quiet!"

In fact, Zhao Zhen hopes that through this statement, the people in Shendu City will know that he, the king of the Song Dynasty and the ruler of the world are back.

This is an opportunity. Zhao Zhen hopes to solve the problems that arise in China through this autumn. This is the hunting place of the Song Dynasty. It is not in the capital of the Gods, and anything can happen.

Zhao Zhen did not do whatever he wanted in the Shendu City. Many of the interests were entangled. There were not many emperors who could truly make the world arbitrary, and sometimes they had to compromise with all kinds of helplessness.

However, in this autumnal land, Zhao Zhen can centralize power. The army's support to the emperor has always been unconditional obedience. The generals are grateful for Zhao Zhen's support from the bottom of their hearts. They know what the original generals were treated, which is a very different from now.

It can be said that Zhao Zhen gave them dignity and allowed all the military officers in the world to stand up. They were no longer fighting men who were randomly scolded by civil officials, but had their own dignity and dignity.

This is also one of the means used by Zhao Zhen to check and balance civil officials. It is not worth it to limit the rights of civil officials by simply laying down beds or decentralizing power. However, it is much better to properly support military generals to check and balance civil officials.
