Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Early the next morning, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Kang An, Wang Shu and others headed towards Nanzheng!

Lin Bao still stays in the palace, and now Lin Bao is the general manager of the palace! It's just that there is only one **** in this palace, and the soldiers in the imperial battalion may not obey his orders. As for Li Gang in the imperial court, naturally he will not obey his orders! He is also the general manager, and his rights are much worse than those of Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others!

But for the current Lin Bao, it is extremely fortunate to be able to save his life after the chaos! He dared not have other extravagant hopes in a short time!

Ten thousand Yuying soldiers also followed Zhao Chen to Nanzheng!

On the same day, the imperial battalion soldiers were also engaged in intense training!

Originally, the imperial camp was composed of the strongest part of the Zhe family army! They thought they were the most elite soldiers, far surpassing the current ban! However, after arriving in Nanzheng, they were shocked to discover that the Forbidden Army was no longer the former Zhejia Army, and that the Forbidden Army was even stronger than them!

Such a discovery made the soldiers of the imperial camp secretly vowed to work hard to surpass the Forbidden Army while depressed! After all, as imperial soldiers, they have their own pride!

The soldiers trained endlessly for a whole day!

In the evening, when Zhao Chen was with Kang An, Zhao Chen said: "Today's training, you imperial soldiers can still bear it?"

Kang An laughed and said: "Your Majesty can bear it, why can't they bear it? This kind of training is the best. I used to stay in the palace every day and I was lazy!"

Zhao Chen said: "In the future, such training will be carried out every day! The imperial battalion exists to protect me! From now on, I will also go to the battlefield, and these imperial battalion soldiers will also follow me on the battlefield to kill the enemy! That's it! Just don’t let me down at that time!"

Kang An said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you will never be disappointed!"

The intense training goes on day after day!

It's autumn, but the autumn sun is also very fierce! The officers and soldiers of the imperial army and the imperial camp are sweating, and they have been trained!

On August 10th, continuous rain fell in the sky. In this weather, the imperial army and imperial soldiers were still training!

And in the afternoon of this day, the military aircraft office officially completed preparations!

Zhao Chen is in the Yamen of the Military Aircraft Department at the moment, and Wang Shu is accompanied by Zhao Chen!

"Your Majesty, there are now more than 20 people in the Military Aircraft Department. They mainly record things, accept secret reports, and issue orders! Because it is dealing with urgent military information and confidential matters, all matters are handled by your Majesty and several military ministers. They It is mainly for help, so there is no need for so many manpower! In the past, there were at least hundreds of officials in either the Ministry of War or the Privy Council, which greatly affected the speed of work!" Wang Shu said.

"Very good! The military aircraft department should be like this! You immediately issue the first decree of the military aircraft department, telling all important frontier generals, once there are important military information, confidential matters, immediately pass it to the military aircraft department! As for ordinary military affairs and rations Sending, weapons distribution, etc. are still handled by the Ministry of War and Privy Council!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, Weichen understands!" Wang Shu said.

The purpose of becoming the Military Aircraft Department is to deal with emergency military information, which is to bypass the complex institutions such as the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. Therefore, this order of Zhao Chen is normal!

"Also, tell every state and government that in the future, if you encounter confidential matters, you must immediately send it to the military plane! For example, when it comes to rebellion, involving important officials' dereliction of duty, etc., it can be sent to the military plane. ! There are also some important things that the prefectures and governments all over the country feel must be sent to the military plane!" Zhao Chen said.

"This... Your Majesty, these should be sent to the Sixth Department and the Zhongshu Province!" Wang Shu was stunned and said.

"During the troubled times, many local affairs are related to military affairs and national security! There are some secrets and important matters that can't be known to ordinary officials, and this is also true! You can give orders!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, we will do it now!" Wang Shu thought for a while and said.

Zhao Chen has left, but Wang Shu is still standing there. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels wrong!

The Military Aircraft Department was a government office that had to be set up in order to deal with the troubled times. He originally thought that this government office was just to deal with the military situation in the frontier, but he did not expect that Zhao Chen would count the local "secret important matters" as the military aircraft office's duties. inside! In this way, important frontier generals and important local officials can have direct relations with Zhao Chen without going through the Privy Council, the Ministry of Education, and the Sixth Ministry. Zhao Chen can directly issue orders to these generals and officials, in the name of "handling military affairs"! In this way, wouldn't Zhao Chen be able to control officials of all sizes across the country through the Military Aircraft Department, and control important military and political affairs throughout the country?

The weather outside was already cold, but Wang Shu felt all over his body sweating!

"Your Majesty is dealing with military affairs in name. On the surface, it seems that he wants to overhead the court, but in fact he wants to overhead the entire court and replace the entire court with the military aircraft office! From now on, the military aircraft office has the supreme power! The so-called prime minister, The deputy minister, if we don’t enter the military aircraft office, it’s not enough! And the military minister, your majesty has appointed three now, but your majesty can also let us leave the military aircraft office and return to the original yamen because of our busy schedule! Really unprecedented! Military Department, it seems that I want to stay here firmly! As long as I stay here, although I am only a deputy minister, my rights are by no means under Li Gang!" Wang Shu was shocked at first, and then there was a trace in his eyes. Ambition!

It’s just that he also understands that the Minister of Military Affairs is completely different from the Prime Minister and Deputy Minister. The power of the Minister of Military Affairs comes entirely from Zhao Chen. The appointment of the Minister of Military Affairs is also made by Zhao Chen! If you want to be a minister of military affairs, in addition to showing your own talents, you must also be loyal to Zhao Chen, and nothing that goes against Zhao Chen's wishes can happen!

"There has never been a'Military Department' organization in China since ancient times! In the past, there were ministers of authority to oppress the emperor, and you can come out of the military office. Your Majesty truly has the supreme sovereignty. Who can oppress the emperor? What does your Majesty say, who dares to resist? If your Majesty is a faint king , This Song Dynasty is completely finished, fortunately, your majesty is not the faint emperor!" Wang Shu stood there for a long time, until his clothes were wet with sweat, and he came back to his senses!

He immediately conveyed the two orders of Zhao Chen, not to mention them.

On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here!

Zhao Chen still did not return to the palace that day. He spent fifteen with the officers and soldiers in the army!

The emperor spent the festival with ordinary soldiers, which has never happened before in China! The soldiers are grateful, so needless to say!

After the soldiers dispersed, Zhao Chen was with Yue Fei, Kang An, and Wang Shu!

Zhao Chen said: "You have also seen that our army has undergone great changes! On the one hand, it is because of my training here with them, and on the other hand, it is because of propaganda and education! Wang Shu, you are in the army. Those literati and talents in China, they also played a great role!"

Wang Shu nodded and said: "These are your majesty's ideas, and the ministers are only implementing them! But this idea is really good. Soldiers used to be very lazy. They only serve for food and pay, but now they understand that it is for your majesty. , Fight for the Great Song Dynasty, for the people of the world! In this way, the soldiers will have to work harder to train! When they are on the battlefield, they will inevitably work hard, far better than before!"

Zhao Chen said: "This is the truth! But in addition to propagating such ideas to the soldiers, it is also necessary to propagate similar ideas to the people!"

Wang Shu was taken aback, and said, "Propagating similar ideas to the people?"

Zhao Chen said: "Yes! Civilians don't like to be soldiers. There is a saying that good men don't serve as soldiers. If you don't survive, no one wants to be a soldier! We Han people don't want to be soldiers, don't want to fight, and don't want to resist. , Jurchens are here, the vast majority of Han people can only let Jurchens slaughter, this phenomenon must also be changed!"

Wang Shu nodded and said, "Yes!"

Yue Fei, who was next to him, also agreed, saying: "Your Majesty, we have many Han people, but when I was in Hedong, only a few people dared to stand up against the Jurchens, and most of them let the Jurchens bully! The mind remains the same, it is difficult to eliminate Jurchen!"

Zhao Chen said: "That's why I said that I need to promote it! Wang Shu, this matter is left to you!"

The significance of propaganda, there is no difference between ancient and modern times! They all explain to people, educate, spread, and promote! In the Tang Dynasty Bukong's "Xie En Xu Xin Fanjing Theory into the Catalog Popular List", there is a saying "Bukong has translated the sacred scriptures for more than forty years. The three dynasties have come, praise the merits, and aim to promote"! In the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong once said that "to use one's own business to propagate chapters and sentences"!

It's just ancient propaganda, generally propaganda to people with literacy and higher social status, there is very little reason for propaganda to ordinary people!

At that time, Wang Shu was stunned, and said, "Your Majesty, what is the main propaganda?"

Zhao Chen said: "I have been thinking about this these days. Listen carefully. It mainly includes the following aspects. First, we must publicize the importance of the army and tell the people that the soldiers have made great contributions to the Song Dynasty and the country. The people must support and treat soldiers well, and let the people understand the honor of being a soldier! Second, we must tell the people that we Han are the best nation in the world, and we have created a glorious civilization, but Jurchens It’s just barbarians, it’s not worthy to give us shoes, but the Jurchens are fierce and cruel, and they have invaded countless territories! We must proclaim our greatness and the tyranny of Jurchens! Third, we must tell the people that we Han have sacrificed since ancient times You must have the courage to sacrifice and sacrifice! In short, as long as it is conducive to the war of resistance, we must propagate it!"

Wang Shu nodded, and said: "Weichen has all written it down! Tomorrow I will begin to formulate relevant strategies, and it is best to write a book!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said: "It's the best! From today, you are the minister of the Propaganda Department under the Military Aircraft Department! This propaganda is also important to military affairs. If you need manpower and financial resources, you can use the Military Aircraft Department to handle emergency military affairs. Ask for it from other government officials, and no one can stop it!"

Wang Shu said: "Weichen understands!"

The moon is very bright tonight, the soldiers have already fallen asleep one after another, Zhao Chen is now leading Yue Fei, Kang An and others to inspect the barracks!

The reason why he wanted Wang Shu to "propaganda" was mainly to form a situation of supporting the war throughout the country in Hanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, and Guanshan!

After such a situation is formed, he will be able to implement the compulsory military system and even other policies that are conducive to the War of Resistance!

Now the number of soldiers in his hand is limited. It is not that he is unwilling to recruit soldiers, but that ordinary people of the Song Dynasty are unwilling to be soldiers! Moreover, after experiencing the chaos of Zhe Keqiu, at that time Zhe Keqiu forcibly pulled the strong into the army, and the people were even more afraid of being a soldier! Under such circumstances, if we want to expand the number of troops, we must first conduct propaganda and education! Only afterwards will it be possible to implement a compulsory military system, allowing a large number of soldiers to enter the army!

"In the Warring States Period, Qin was located in the northwest, and its national strength may not be comparable to Jin and Chu, but Qin dominated the world! Because at that time Qin implemented a compulsory military system, and all men over the age of fifteen must enlist in the army! At that time, all political, economic, cultural and educational aspects of the Qin State served for military expansion, war preparations, and foreign expansion! Now I am in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, and the terrain is somewhat similar to that of Qin. War service! Realize a situation where all the people are soldiers and all people are war! After all, it is a military state! Yes, it is a military state! In history, all countries that implement a military system will have a huge military power in a short period of time! Qin is like this, later generations. The same is true for Germany in Europe! Germany has just experienced the defeat of World War I, but after just a few short years, Germany, which has implemented a military system, has regained the military strength to challenge the whole of Europe! It became lifeless under the policy, and today I use the military system to renew the courage of this country and this nation!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

Today, there is a great chaos. If you want to have extraordinary military strength in a short time, the military system is the fastest way!

It's just that even if you want to implement all of this, you must proceed step by step. Traditional civil servants like Li Gang will never accept such a system! Zhao Chen will unknowingly implement such a system! Now he let Wang Shu conduct "propaganda" is one of the measures taken!

"Qu Duan? Are you not coming? I have stopped sending their rations!" When looking to the northwest, Zhao Chen had a faint worry in his heart!
