Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"No need to worry now! The Staff Headquarters still needs to carefully investigate the intelligence of Liaodong. We need to investigate all the Jurchen soldiers and horses, the locations of grain and grass reserves, and the population concentration locations before we can formulate a detailed combat plan before we can launch an attack on them. You can train carefully in Tianjin Guardian! If you need something, you can tell the head of the staff, and the head of the staff will prepare it for you." Zhao Chen said.

"Now we still need a lot of crossbows." Wu Jie thought for a while and said.

"It's simple. Guan Shan has tens of thousands of craftsmen in military supervision. The number of craftsmen who make bows and crossbows alone is close to 10,000, which is enough to meet the needs of the army." Yu Yunwen said.

"Now the Military Aircraft Division and the General Staff Headquarters have been transferred to Yanjing City, and the Military Equipment Supervisors should also be transferred to Yanjing City, leaving only branches in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan and Shu." Zhao Chen said.

Yu Yunwen nodded.

"Actually, I have been thinking that the military equipment supervisor can be separated from the logistics department. In the future, the military equipment supervisor will be side by side with the logistics department, the combat department, and the intelligence department, and they will all be important institutions under the staff headquarters." Zhao Chen said.

"Ah! Your Majesty, isn't it necessary?" Yu Yunwen said in surprise.

"The role of weapons is very important! Over the years, we have repeatedly defeated Xixia and Jurchen. In addition to our soldiers fighting bravely, our weapons are also an important reason for surpassing the enemy! I hope that our weapons can continue to improve. With weapons, we can defeat all foreign races! For example, can gunpowder become weapons? In addition, this shipyard should also be under the management of the military equipment supervisor! From now on, all war-related equipment will be managed by the military equipment supervisor and the logistics department. It's just managing food, grass, clothing and other matters!" Zhao Chen said.

"This matter needs to be discussed by the staff headquarters." Yu Yunwen said.

"Okay, when I go back, I will let the General Staff to discuss! In addition, although the number of military equipment supervisors is already quite large, the country's one million army requires countless weapons. I feel that the number of these craftsmen is still insufficient! Some smart young people can enter the army. An instrument supervisor, become a craftsman." Zhao Chen said.

"This... Your Majesty, the craftsmen of the Military Weapon Supervisor are all craftsmen, with low status, young people may not be willing to enter it." Yu Yunwen said.

"From now on, the so-called household registration of craftsmen, military households, etc. will be abolished, and only ordinary households! Let's discuss this after we go back." Zhao Chen said.

In ancient China, many dynasties divided the people in various ways. There were ordinary households, craftsmen households only owned by artisans, and military households who served as soldiers for generations. The descendants of artisans can only be craftsmen forever and cannot engage in other industries. As for military households, their descendants are soldiers, and they cannot perform imperial examinations or engage in other camps. Fortunately in the Song Dynasty, there were not many specialized craftsmen and soldiers. In the Ming Dynasty, all craftsmen, whether subordinate to the court or not, were all craftsmen, and soldiers all over the world were all soldiers! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many soldiers became tenant farmers of generals. They couldn't eat enough every day, could not leave the station, and could not do other camps. Many soldiers rebelled. The ancient emperors wanted to use such a method to manage the people, but who knew it was counterproductive.

"Cancel the craftsman households and soldiers households and let them become ordinary private households. This should be fine." Yu Yunwen said.

They walked across this long street, and there was no other building in front of them.

Now Tianjin Wei has only a few ports and a long street! At least for now, it is still quite desolate.

"By the way, where is Wanyan Zongwang?" Zhao Chen said when he reached the end of the street.

"Your Majesty, Wanyan Zongwang is building a wharf over there." Wu Jie said.

Zhao Chen smiled, and took Yu Yunwen, Wu Jie and others towards there.

When he arrived at the dock over there, Zhao Chen really saw Wanyan Zongwang, and now Wanyan Zongwang had empty eyes, working numbly there! Wanyan Zongwang didn't feel anything at all about the arrival of Zhao Chen and others.

In fact, Zhao Chen captured Yan Zongwang alive at the beginning, mainly for the purpose of surrendering Yan Lou's room, but it was of no use! At that time, Zhao Chen once said that he would take Wanyan Zongwang to parade everywhere. At that time, it was only to attack Wanyan Zongwang, and he didn't really do so!

Now that Yan Zongwang looks like this, Zhao Chen also feels bored.

"How are these Jurchen captives treated?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, they rest for four hours a day! Their food is the same as that of our soldiers. When we can eat, they can also eat. But now that food is restricted, their meals are naturally reduced! Soldiers will not beat and scold them easily, unless they are deliberately lazy and do not work! In addition, our soldiers often participate in construction, basically we have to work for ten days in a month." Wu Jie said.

Zhao Chen nodded lightly. He walked all the way, and saw that all the Jurchens had numb eyes, as if they had already accepted their fate! The Jurchen captives didn't dare to be lazy, but few people really worked hard.

"Tell these Jurchen prisoners of war that if they do well, the court will reward them! In this way, we will release a thousand people every year! Let them all work actively and diligently!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

An expression of hesitation appeared on Wu Jie's face.

"We have no shortage of prisoners of war, there are still wars in the north, and there will be prisoners of war coming! These prisoners of war have no hope, and their hearts are numb, so naturally they will not work well. Give them hope and stimulate their enthusiasm so that they can work hard. "Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jie nodded.

Right now, Wu Jie asked people to convey Zhao Chen's order, and after a while, the cheers of Jurchen prisoners of war came from the entire port!

Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen, Wu Jun and others came to the beach again, and the sea breeze was extremely cool.

Zhao Chen is very comfortable in his heart, far away from Yanjing, and those tedious political affairs can be put aside temporarily, and he can take a good rest.

"Where is Zhao Kai now?" Zhao Chen said.

"He has arrived in Hedong, and he should be able to reach Yanjing within half a month." Yu Yunwen said.

"After he comes, we can relax a lot again." Zhao Chen smiled.

"Let him enter the military plane directly?" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

Now the number of ministers in the Military Aircraft Department has gradually increased. The ministers are in charge of specialized affairs, Wang Shu is in charge of propaganda, Yu Yunwen is in charge of justice, Qu Duan is in charge of the staff headquarters, Hu Quan is in charge of agriculture, and Wang Shipeng is in charge of building roads. Will be responsible for taxes! This Zhao Kai was originally an envoy to Xuanfu of Sichuan, who was good at managing money. Zhao Chen specially transferred him to Yanjing City!

The current Military Aircraft Department is gradually transforming into the cabinet of later generations. Zhao Chen will hold a military aircraft meeting every half a month to discuss state affairs with everyone! At the military conference, the military minister can speak freely about state affairs without any scruples!

Except there is no prime minister and no fixed selection mechanism, this is almost the cabinet of future generations.

Li Gang was originally the best candidate for prime minister, but Jiangnan's recovery is inseparable from Li Gang. Zhao Chen needs Li Gang, a world-famous official, to sit in Zhenjiangnan.

"Your Majesty, the Jiangnan Song girl gives birth to a prince, she must have a title, right?" Yu Yunwen said abruptly.

"The title is nothing more than a false name, so let's make her an imperial concubine." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Okay! After returning to Yanjing, the minister will issue a will! Also, your majesty, the birth of the prince is a major event in the country, but the prince does not have a name yet." Yu Yunwen said.

"After conquering the north, there will be a desolate icefield further north, and a desert to the west. Although there are countries farther away, we can conquer it, but it takes time and effort. It is impossible for us to put our main force on it. , At most, send a few generals to conquer some barbarians who disobey us! From now on, our eyes will be on the ocean. I guess, there are endless territories and countries on the ocean, which can be used by our children and grandchildren. Conquer! This kid, call him Canghai." Zhao Chen said.

On this day, Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen settled down at Tianjin Wei’s wharf.

In the early morning of the second day, they went out to sea with the soldiers to watch the naval training. When the sun went down, they returned to the shore.

They were going to dine with the soldiers in the army, however, at this moment, a group of cavalry rushed towards here in the distance.

There were about a dozen cavalrymen in this team. They were stopped by naval soldiers. After a brief announcement, the dozen cavalrymen were released.

They hurriedly came to Zhao Chen's side and knelt down immediately.

"Are you soldiers from the Liaodong Military Region? What happened?" Zhao Chen pulled up a soldier in front of him and said.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has appeared!" the soldier said.

"What? Supreme Emperor?" Zhao Chen was stunned, and Yu Yunwen, Wu Jie and others were also stunned there.

"What the **** is going on?" Yu Yunwen said.

"At noon the day before yesterday, more than a thousand people came to Shanhaiguan, where they yelled. Many of them seemed to be our Han people. Some of them said they were the Supreme Emperor! After identifying them, General Liu Qi did not say whether the person was genuine or fake. , Just let us report to your majesty immediately, let your majesty go to Shanhaiguan." said the soldier.

Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen glanced at each other, and their eyes were shocked.

"Which Supreme Emperor is it?" Zhao Chen said.

"The man said he was the Taoist Emperor!" said the soldier.

The Taoist emperor was Zhao Ji of Song Huizong. When he was reigning, he believed in religion and always called himself "the leader of the Taoist emperor."

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, we must go to Shanhaiguan immediately!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded.
