After the rules were announced, everyone in the hall was silent for a long time, which made Zhao Bing a little nervous with sweaty palms. He understood that there were many smart people in the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, and they were not aware of the various abuses and seriousness of the Song Dynasty's military system.

I have no idea. However, everyone knows that words are easier than actions, and this has been true since ancient times. Moreover, most of the emperors and governors of the Song Dynasty were indecisive, ********, and short-sighted people. It was difficult to eliminate the army.

There are neither firm, consistent, clear policies nor appropriate measures to deal with various shortcomings.

In addition, everyone knows that the fundamental obstacle to eradicating various ills and carrying out reforms is those in power, which involves the vested rights and interests of many civil servants and military officers and their private interests. This leads to the reformers being firmly opposed by those with vested interests, and the New Deal is often

Ending without a cure or giving up halfway has caused various shortcomings in the army to continue for a long time and become difficult to recover from.

The rules formulated by Zhao Bing can be said to have touched the cakes of many people, but he is not a fool and has naturally calculated it beforehand. Although the people who have taken refuge in the government come from different backgrounds, their composition is relatively pure, and they are not the most popular in society.

The people at the bottom are the low-level officers and soldiers in the army. They are the victims of various bad policies in the army. Those who are exploited should also become supporters of their own policies. But what does it mean that they are not talking now?

"What do you think?" After waiting for a while and no one spoke, Zhao Bing asked in a deep voice, but he was scolding you secretly in his heart. If you don't say anything, I will call you by name and ask you to express your attitude, which is just the right time to argue between loyalty and treachery.

"Your Highness, I think this is very good. If it can be strictly implemented, it will make everyone in the government unite." After hearing this, Cai Wanyi stood up and said.

"Oh, Mr. Cai thinks it can be implemented?" Zhao Bing was relieved after hearing this. If everyone disagrees, he can't drive them all away and become a mere commander. Now that someone praises him, he will naturally have to say it. Everyone understands it.

"Purchasing labor, military debt, and fake bonds are the three major malpractices in the military. Coordination and coercion have caused harm to the people. The common people, officers and soldiers, have suffered greatly from it. The iron laws set by His Highness are straight to the point. They are in line with the people's will and in consideration of their will."

How can all the soldiers and civilians not try their best to do this?" Cai Wanyi said loudly.

"Master Cai said it well. The Sa family has long been dissatisfied with the behavior of those silverfish and rats. They exploit the soldiers to the point of knocking their bones and sucking their marrow. No one is willing to die." Zhao Mengjin also stood up and said excitedly.

"Yes, they spend their days living and drinking, but they want us to die on the battlefield. How can this be true? Your Highness's words are excellent, and we are willing to obey them!" Liu Zhu said.

"Every time the imperial court issued bow strings and arrow feathers, but they didn't know that a goose's feathers can only be used for more than ten feathers, and an ox can only get six taels of sinew. If there is insufficient recruitment, the state government will order the slaughter of cattle, making it impossible to cultivate, and the fields are barren, so taxes can be collected.

But they didn’t lose even one point, so many people were forced to death and so many families were torn apart!” Zhang Zizhen sighed.

"The army passed through the border, raped civilians, livestock, robbed women, and stole property. The villagers all hated it to the core. When they knew it was coming, they fled early to avoid harm, causing resentment among the people everywhere. Your Highness set these iron rules

, the common people are willing to comply." Dong Yicheng also saluted...

"Okay, in that case, the whole government will abide by this. If there is any violation, don't blame the military law for being ruthless!" Everyone expressed their agreement. The competition was more intense than Zhao Bing expected, which made him completely relieved. Then he ordered Wang De

Read out your revised reorganization plan in public and listen to everyone's opinions.

"Your Highness, I think it is very appropriate to divide the palace into two parts, the inner and the outer." Cai Wanyi stood up first and said. Although the time was short, he understood the prince's revised plan. The plan was to divide the entire palace into

Two parts of management, with a detailed explanation of the responsibilities and powers of each department.

The inner palace has a personal guard camp and an internal supervision department, which are mainly responsible for the safety and daily life of the prince; the outer palace has a guard camp, a general affairs department, a counselor's department, a craftsmanship bureau, and a medicine bureau to manage the affairs of the palace.

"Your Highness, I don't understand why the escort army should be divided into two parts: the boat army and the infantry army, and the boat army has more troops than the infantry army?" Zhao Mengjin is a straight-tempered man, and the functions of the two departments of the inner government are clear at a glance.

He was in charge of the prince's household affairs and did not allow anyone to talk too much, so he only paid attention to the outer palace. The prince's general and army guards had made many adjustments to the original plan, so he could not help but have many questions.

"Zhao Qiwei, your Highness's move is very clear. Now that the imperial court is drifting on the sea, it needs to rely on boats to deal with the enemy. It is only right to strengthen the boat army. Your Highness, is what I said is correct?" Before Zhao Bing could answer,

Liu Zhu was the first to explain. Zhao Mengjin was awarded Yunqiwei for his meritorious service in rescuing the king at sea. He also had an official status and finally got rid of the name of "commoner".

"What General Liu said is true." Zhao Bing nodded and said. He knew very well that with the current strength of the Communist Party, he could not compete with the Yuan army on land. He still had the power to fight at sea, and this

This situation lasted until the fall of the imperial court and did not change. Therefore, his plan was to prioritize the development of the navy and enhance the water warfare capability. Only in this way can he save his life.

"Your Highness, we only have thirty ships, and most of them are merchant ships and small boats with a weight of less than five hundred stones. How can we use so many boats?" Zhao Mengjin was still doubtful, and still thought that the prince was fanciful.

"Zhao Qiwei, you are still in a hurry. Your Highness has already explained it clearly." Liu Zhu smiled and took the plan and said, "Look, our government has thirty boats, and His Highness's is the largest.

A 3,000-stone passenger boat requires 60 sailors alone and can carry more than 400 people. In addition to various handymen, it can also be equipped with 200 soldiers. We have a total of six second-class 2,000-stone sand boats.

, which requires twenty-six sailors and can also carry two hundred soldiers; there are also five warships with sails and oars, which require more sailors and a hundred soldiers. The remaining small boats also need at least poles.

There are more than ten sailors in the division, and His Highness requires that each ship be equipped with double the number of sailors. After careful calculation, the manpower of the three commanders is not rich."

"Based on this, it is indeed true, but why did Your Highness double the number of sailors? Is it because he is afraid that they will not be willing to contribute?" Zhao Mengjin has also been in charge of the navy and knows that his calculations are good, but the sailors on the ship are usually

According to the arrangement, there are two pairs of officers and auxiliary officers, so that they can be on duty day and night, but now they have been doubled, so this question arises.

"Zhao Da, you really have a clear mind. We only have thirty ships now, but that doesn't mean there will only be thirty ships in the future. Furthermore, once a war breaks out, there will inevitably be more damage. Where can we find so many ships then?"

Manpower." Zheng Huchen, who was sitting next to Zhao Mengjin, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard what he said. Seeing how confused he was, he couldn't help patting his shoulder and reminding him.

"Haha, it's because the Sa family has jumped the gun, or His Highness has thought carefully. When we were at sea, we only had three merchant ships with four or five hundred people, but now the number has increased tenfold, and there will definitely be hundreds of times more in the future." Zhao Mengjin was stunned.

After getting off, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, stroked his beard and said.

"It's a good arrangement. Each ship is equipped with fixed sailors and soldiers. It can fight alone or carry infantry. It is much more reasonable than temporary deployment in the past." Liu Zhu laughed for a while and said, and everyone also

Nodding in agreement shows that you have approved this arrangement.

"I don't know how many sailors and soldiers each ship requires. How to choose them will be discussed later. Do you have any objections to the other items listed?" Because the navy of the Song Dynasty had always been in a subordinate position, Zhao Bing initially

He was also worried that everyone would disagree with such an arrangement, so he didn’t need to waste any more words depending on the situation. To be honest, when it came to the manning of modern ships, although it was much more complicated and cumbersome than it was in this era, he could still speak clearly and logically.

But he could only say that he understood the era of galleys, but he didn't know much about the details. Since he showed his timidity in front of everyone, he might as well just talk and let them do it.

"Your Highness, I have seen that the section on eliminating the old and the weak has been deleted from the new case. Do you still want to keep them in the mansion?" Liu Zhixue stood up and saluted.

"Yes." Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Your Highness, I believe that the purpose of training the new army is to select the best and eliminate the old and the weak, and not to let things go wrong due to kindness." Liu Zhixue is a commander of the Huai Army stationed in Quanzhou and is very familiar with things in the military.

, seeing that the prince indeed had this intention, he spoke again.

"It is exactly what Liu Duwei said, retaining the old and weak will affect the combat effectiveness. Moreover, the supply of food and grass is tight now, and we have to distribute food to them. If they have no food for a long time, it will only make the strong weak and lose when they encounter the enemy."

Liu Shuzhi also stood up and said that he was also one of the surviving officers of the Quanzhou Army.

"What you said is all right, but don't forget that those who defected to the palace are all Paoze brothers and their widows and orphans just like you, people of the Song Dynasty. Once they leave the palace, everyone will be very worried about what will happen to them.

Clear!" After hearing this, Zhao Bing changed his usual playful demeanor, glanced at everyone, struck the case with his hand and said sternly.

In fact, this issue also made Zhao Bing very embarrassed. He knew very well that under the current situation, retaining the most combat-effective young people and eliminating the old, weak, women and children was the right choice, but it was indeed very cruel to those who were eliminated, and they lost the power of the palace.

To protect him, they were either exposed in the wilderness or taken into slavery. And these old, weak, women, children and sick people were either volunteers who had protected him or the survivors of various armies. If they were abandoned, it would make his conscience uneasy.

, so I was very confused.

Think about what happened to Liu Bei back then. He led 400,000 Jingzhou soldiers and civilians to flee despite the dissuasion of his ministers and generals. As a result, he was not only defeated but also caused many casualties to the soldiers and civilians. Therefore, he was often criticized, saying that he knew what he could not do.

It was really an unwise move for him to do this. He was a good person who was messing around with favors. However, Zhao Bing thought that this move also showed that he cared about the people, so that he could win the hearts of the people and rise again to become a third part of the world. Zhao Bing made up his mind after thinking of this.
