Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Oh? Emperor Xuanwu left the palace?" Xiaoyaozi said overjoyed.

The faces of Cheng Wuji and the others also showed surprise smiles, and everyone looked at the magic sect master who broke in.

"Yes, Emperor Xuanwu is now heading towards the east of the city." The magic gate master said.

"How many soldiers and horses are there next to Emperor Xuanwu?" Xiaoyaozi asked hurriedly.

"Probably only four to five hundred! This Huining mansion is full of Song troops, he doesn't need to lead too many soldiers and horses!" Demon Sect master said.

"It's great!" Xiaoyaozi laughed.

"Uncle Master, do we need to go to the east of the city now?" Cheng Wuji asked.

"No! There are too many Song troops in Huining Mansion. If we walk around at will, we will surely be discovered by Song Jun! Let's wait for Emperor Xuanwu to come to the north of the city! By the way, have you found a good ambush spot?" Xiaoyao Zidao.

"There is a street in the north of the city, where there are only more than ten Song troops. Emperor Xuanwu will definitely pass by, and we can ambush Emperor Xuanwu there!" Demon Master said.

"You draw the terrain!" Xiaoyaozi said.

At the moment, the magic sect master drew the terrain, Xiaoyaozi carefully observed for a while, nodded, and said, "It's really good here."

"Uncle Shi, how sure are we to assassinate Emperor Xuanwu?" Cheng Wuji said again.

"At least 80% sure! We have more than 100 masters in Huining Mansion. These masters are definitely not the ordinary soldiers of the Song Army that can resist! They only have four to five hundred soldiers, and we can kill them all! Then I will. Look at Emperor Xuanwu and don't let him escape! We must fight quickly and kill Emperor Xuanwu soon!" Xiaoyaozi said.

Cheng Wuji nodded.

Xiaoyaozi was very excited at the moment. He finally got off the bed, stood up straight, and laughed: "Emperor Xuanwu can be regarded as a rare Ming monarch in ancient and modern times! The Song Dynasty was already weak, but after he inherited the throne, his methods were incredible. In just eight years, he has dominated the world! Xixia, Khitan, and Jurchen are not his opponents. People living in Jiangnan, Central Plains, Sichuan and Shu, and Yanyun live and work in peace and contentment. They are really wise and martial arts. The ancestor is nothing more! I still admire him! However, we assassinated him when he was most proud and glorious. In the future, I will certainly be named in the annals of history and admire him for future generations!"

Hearing this, Cheng Wuji couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Okay! Let's make preparations in advance. You will carefully observe Emperor Xuanwu, this time you must not let him escape!" Xiaoyaozi said.

At the moment, the masters of the magic door in this room are heading outside, preparing to ambush Zhao Chen.

Xiaoyaozi still stayed in this room, and news of Huining Mansion continued to reach him.

"Uncle Shi, we just got the news that Emperor Xuanwu went to the south of the city!" Cheng Wuji arrived and said half an hour later.

"It seems that he went from the east of the city to the south, then to the west and the north, and finally to the north!" Xiaoyaozi nodded and said.

"Uncle Master, I can't wait!" Cheng Wuji said.

"Wait, we must wait! This time we will achieve unprecedented achievements in the world, we must not be impatient!" Xiaoyaozi said.

Cheng Wuji took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Everything listens to Uncle Master."

"Emperor Xuanwu hasn't come anyway, let's play a game of chess first! Someone will report the news from the outside naturally!" Xiaoyaozi laughed.

Cheng Wuji was indeed very nervous at the moment, but Xiaoyaozi's leisurely demeanor infected him, and now he calmed down and played chess with Xiaoyaozi in the room, not to mention.

In the night of this day, the bright moon hung high, and the cold moonlight filled the earth!

Zhao Chen has already arrived at the southern part of the city, where there is a temporary military camp for the Song Army.

Tens of thousands of Song Army soldiers here were celebrating the Lantern Festival. After Zhao Chen arrived, the soldiers cheered excitedly.

The soldiers performed on stage, and Zhao Chen sat with the generals in the army.

Yang Zhengnai was the commander of this army, and he was excited to accompany Zhao Chen.

"Did the soldiers miss home?" Zhao Chen said after taking a sip of hot tea.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are far away from their hometowns and feel a little homesick, but we all know that we are soldiers. It is our duty to fight for the country, so everyone will stay in Huining Mansion safely!" Yang Zhengdao.

"For the Song Dynasty, for my Han people, soldiers and soldiers paid a lot! The country will never forget you, and I will always remember your contributions in my heart!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, these are what we should do!" Yang Zheng smiled.

"You may stay in Huining Mansion for a long time!" Zhao Chen said after thinking for a while.

"Oh!" Yang Zheng showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Liaodong is now our Dasong territory. It needs troops to be stationed here. The Staff Headquarters deliberately divided the soldiers and horses of the Datong Military Region into two. Han Shizhong and Wang Yan led the infantry stationed in Datong, and General Yue Fei led 100,000 cavalry to station in Liaodong! In addition, Part of the navy will also be stationed in Liaodong! Most of the soldiers and horses of your Datong Military Region come from Guanshan. Later, you went to Datong, but now you have to stay in a bitter and cold place outside Guan. I can't bear it! I am from Zhongjing. When I came here, I had already discussed the retirement system with the officials of the General Staff Headquarters. If nothing happens, the retirement system will be introduced within this year, and then a group of soldiers will retire from here and return to their hometown!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah!" Yang Zheng stayed there all of a sudden, and said: "Retired? Can soldiers retire?"

In ancient times, serving as a soldier was a lifelong profession. "After fifteen years of military conscription, you must return in eighty years. Everyone in the village, who is in the house", this is the ancient military system! At the age of fifteen, he began to be a soldier when he was ignorant, and he could not return to his hometown until he was eighty. The relatives in the family were almost dead, and he didn't even know the younger generation! Such a military system is extremely cruel, and there is no human rights at all! It is not unreasonable for the ancients to say that a good man is not a soldier. If it is not that he can't live, who wants to stay in the army for a lifetime, guard the frontier for the whole life, and fight on the battlefield all his life, even if he is old, it is difficult to rest! Zhao Chen has long planned to change all of this, and now this matter is officially on the agenda!

"Soldiers of course can retire! Moreover, after the soldiers leave the army, they will receive the army's resettlement allowance! In addition, now my Da Song has just regained the world, there are many states and counties, but the number of officials is very small, and there are outstanding people in the army. After retiring, you can enter the government and continue to play for the country!" Zhao Chen said.

"Great! Great! Your Majesty, if you do this, the soldiers don't know how to thank you!" Yang Zheng said excitedly.

"These are just what we should do! The army has veterans withdrawing, and then new recruits are constantly replenished in, so that the young people of the country can continue to be tempered in the army. Isn't this a good thing? Does it have to be a soldier for generations? Are you okay?" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, your majesty is right! The young people in the Central Plains should also continue to enter the army, and after entering the army, they can retire. The young people must no longer oppose entering the army! Your Majesty is really a good idea!" Yang Zhengdao.

Zhao Chen smiled and continued to watch various programs of the soldiers in the barracks.

"Your Majesty, it's just this way. All the elite soldiers in the army return to their hometowns, and we have to fight the world. What should we do?" Yang Zhengdao.

"Of course it is impossible to retire all soldiers at once. Then the army will be abolished? Only a part of the soldiers can withdraw from the army in a year, and most of the elite soldiers will remain in the army! The first soldiers who retire should be older. , Or injured in the war, or living in a difficult family life with only one child, some military forces are not very heavy in combat missions, and the retirement system can be implemented immediately, and some, such as the navy, will attack Goryeo, Dongying and other places, which cannot be implemented for the time being. The decommissioning system and the placement of veterans are also very complicated, requiring a lot of expenses, etc., and the country now spends too much money, so the introduction of this system will take a certain amount of time! But, later you You can tell the soldiers about this first!" Zhao Chen said.

"I will understand at the end!" Yang Zheng said excitedly.

Zhao Chen stayed here for half an hour and then headed west of the city. Not long after he left here, there was a loud sound of long live from the military camp in the south of the city. Countless soldiers were kneeling in the direction where Zhao Chen left. .

"Your Majesty is truly a benevolent emperor!" Zhao Chen and Kang An led their troops towards the west of the city, and Kang An praised them from the side.

"Let the soldiers stay in the army for the rest of their lives. This is not only cruel to the soldiers, but also not conducive to the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness! The army is constantly replaced by new young bloodlines, which is also good for the growth of the army! This matter It was proposed by me, but it will take some time to complete it! From now on, the soldier’s military service time will have to be determined. Once the number of years is reached, they will leave the army. Only those who perform well can continue to stay in the army!" Zhao Chen said .

These are all military systems of later generations, which are much more advanced than the military systems of this era. Zhao Chen has continuously reformed the military system over the years. However, because it was during the war, the force could not be reduced, so it was not until this time that it was officially proposed. Decommissioning system.

"How is Xiaoyaozi's situation now?" Zhao Chen said again.

"Your Majesty, they are waiting for you to go to that avenue!" Kang An said.

"How are our soldiers and horses prepared?" Zhao Chen said.

"General Dong Xian led two thousand military masters lurking in that area! Once Xiaoyaozi and others appear, he will never be allowed to leave!" Kang An said.

Zhao Chen nodded, his face also showed a sneer!

He doesn't have the slightest affection for Xiaoyaozi, Cheng Wuji and others, and he has an unusual dislike! However, although these people are clowns, they are like flying flies, and it is difficult to shoot them to death! Of course, this time, quite a few Intelligence Service personnel entered the Demon Sect, and some even became confidants of Xiaoyaozi. For example, the Demon Sect master who reported to Xiaoyaozi was an intelligence service officer! Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to kill Xiaoyaozi all at once!
