Chapter 2454 Di Qing's Theory
After playing the military game for a whole afternoon, Di Qing finally found a flaw and won a game. Sancai stared at Di Qing with some dissatisfaction. The official family is a victory in every battle. Is your Di Qing's military god important or the official family's name important?
But Zhao Zhen didn't care at all, and even laughed loudly and said, "Di Hanchen knows where he lost?"
Di Qing said ashamedly, "I forgot my courage. I am eager to win and I don't care about the face of the official family."
Zhao Zhen nodded, "Yes, I have forced you out for half a day. What can I worry about not being a king who cannot afford to lose? I am happy with a famous general like you, otherwise I don't need to waste this half a day. But I want to tell you one thing, it is the general trend that firearms replace cold soldiers, and no one can stop them. Although I can win for a while, I can't resist time!"
Di Qing sternly shook and whispered, "There are still many people in the army who are obsessed with their hearts, and even ministers are hard to give up..."
Zhao Zhen looked at Di Qing strangely and said, "What are you giving up? Does the Song Dynasty need cold soldiers? No matter how powerful the firearms are, they still need cold soldiers as auxiliary. Otherwise, what should I use to defeat the defeated enemy? What surprise attacks the enemy? The cavalry is still the king on the battlefield and cannot be replaced."
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he frowned and sighed, "It's me that I'm careless. Wang Shao's Yong'an army was advancing rapidly in this Western Expedition, and the battle losses were extremely low. For a moment, everyone in the court praised and advocated it. Some people in the army must have speculated that I would take this opportunity to change their clothes and all the troops, which is inevitable that people's hearts will be shaky. It is inconvenient to investigate and scold them. But we have to make things clear. It seems that it is time for the soldiers in the army to "return and rebuild"!"
Di Qing roughly guessed what Zhao Zhen meant, and asked with some tentative questions, "What does the official mean to let these people go to the Military Academy?"
Zhao Zhen nodded, "Many things in the Song Dynasty are changing too quickly now, including the army. If you stick to your original ideas for a long time, it will sooner or later be out of date. If you lead troops all year round, you should know what Zhijian is most afraid of."
"I don't know how to adapt and do my own thing!" Di Qing answered without thinking. Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "That's right now, the imperial examination is an example. Reform is not terrible. What's terrible is that if you don't do it, the reform in the army has never stopped. It's relatively easier. You are the Minister of War, and you will be handed over this dispatch. I can forgive you for the first time, but I will be punished again and again!"
Di Qing nodded and said, "I obey the order!"
Cai Boqi and Sancai were still confused when they heard it, as if Di Qing and the official military chess were mixed just now. Cai Boqi reacted quickly and changed his face in an instant, looking at Di Qing and said, "Is there a mutiny in the army?"
Di Qing shook his head, "Military law is like a mountain, no one dares to shake it! It's just that there are more discussions and worries between the generals and officials. It's just that I'm here. This time I just took the opportunity to ask the official for an order..."
Cai Boyi looked up and down at Di Qing. The two of them were old friends. Many times Cai Boyi prepared for Di Qing's needs for combat. He was Di Qing's most trusted "logistics officer".
But Cai Boqi seemed to not know Di Qing, "When did you, Di Hanchen, use such tortuous means? Can't you directly submit memorials to the official family? The official family treats you like a loyal person."
Di Qing immediately bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "I have some concerns in my heart, but I only use military chess as a memorial. I also ask the officials to forgive me."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "This matter is OK, but I didn't expect that you, Di Qing, can be considered a fierce Zhang Fei to make toothpicks, thick and thin!"
"This matter is related to the soldiers in the army, and also to the bonds in the hearts of the Han ministers. This is a bad decision."
Zhao Zhen suddenly said, "I have been playing games with me for an afternoon, what do you think?"
Di Qing was slightly stunned, then said, "The power of firearms is unimaginable, but they have to be controlled by wise men. Wang Shao can be used by him, and the rest must be selected from the Military Academy."
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, "Yes! It is easy to get a general in a thousand troops, and the Military Academy can recruit many generals this year. I have heard that someone has already heard a saying that the military and martial arts are useless, and the literary and intellectuals are worthy of the Dragon Gate."
Di Qing shook his head slightly and said, "Officials, these words are probably the idea of short-sighted people. Our military and military forces in the Song Dynasty will only become stronger and stronger..."
"Oh? Why do you know?"
Zhao Zhen was a little surprised. Most people in the Song Dynasty agreed with this. Even if they didn't agree, they believed that there was no need for the Song Dynasty to develop military affairs and should focus on economy and cultural governance.
It is very important that Di Qing has different opinions. After Zhao Zhen got off the carriage, he pulled him into the office. It is not easy to accompany him when he is away, but Zhao Zhen insisted on letting Di Qing accompany him, so Di Qing had the opportunity to be with Zhao Zhen.
Even when he arrived in Luzhou, Zhao Zhen had no intention of entering the city. Instead, he led the army to the Guanshi on the Minjiang River. The Song Dynasty stipulated that the army passed by the local prefectures and could not enter the city to disturb the people unless he had to. He could use the Guanshi on the use of the Guanshi. If local officials were capable, they should provide convenience in the army and what they needed.
Therefore, even the emperor Zhao Zhen must abide by the rules he set, not enter the city, do not harass the people, and rest in the office.
The Minjiang River is surging, and it is inconvenient to sail at night, so Zhao Zhen lived in the Guanshi Post, and the official ships mobilized by the imperial court had arrived, and they were arranged in a vast array of Luzhou Wharf on the banks of the Minjiang River.
Not only did Zhao Zhen want to return to the court himself, but he also had to bring Di Qing and the soldiers of the Fourth Army back to the court. Although they did not participate in much attack this time, it was a magical achievement to rescue Ma'er. After all, they saved the official family of the Song Dynasty.
Not everyone can get such achievements. With the identity of the Lamen and the others on the Fourth Army, it is not unreasonable for the court to mobilize official ships to provide them with a ride.
Di Qing was promoted by Zhao Zhen, and after observing him for a long time, he was convinced that he had extraordinary military talent as recorded in history books. After all, many of the contents in history books have exaggerated or belittled elements, and even Ouyang Xiu is no exception.
But even though he knew that Di Qing had unique vision, Zhao Zhen was impressed by his views. Di Qing entered the office and told Zhao Zhen the reason.
"The official family will only become more and more prosperous in the future. These can be seen from the annual fiscal and tax growth of the imperial court. If the Song Dynasty is so prosperous, how can His Majesty rest assured without strong military and military as a guarantee? How can the people feel at ease? Although there is no strong country around, there are many countries in this world that covet the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. Besides, Jiao Siluo has been released by the official family. Although he has become the eagle and dog minion of the Song Dynasty, if the Song Dynasty is not strong enough, he will inevitably be retaliated by it!"
