Three days later, at the court meeting, the appointment of the prefect of the palace was announced. The whole court was shocked for a while. The Queen Mother Cao behind the curtain did not express any objection to this, indicating that the Queen Mother Cao acquiesced in the matter. Yes, all civil and military officials know what this means.
The power of the Song Dynasty has been quietly handed over. Zhao Zongquan has become a veritable master of the Song Dynasty. The Queen Mother's faction is gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.
On the way back to the next court, Qin Hao was surrounded by a bunch of congratulatory noble generals. Some of them were simply forming a good relationship, while others were people in the family who wanted to ask Qin Hao to help him find a good relationship. future.
Qin Hao, with a smile on his face, said that he had just received the appointment and did not understand the situation of the front department and needed to get familiar with it before making a decision, so he walked over.
However, the news spread quickly, and the gate of Jinghaihou Mansion was lined up with people who came to give gifts. These people were so impatient that they didn’t even look for a reason to give gifts. I'm afraid that if I send it late, my good position will be taken away.
Yu Yanran handed the list of gifts to Qin Hao and said with some worry, "Ms. sir, the officials asked you to reorganize the front office of the palace. Let's accept them all just in case the officials fail."
p>
Qin Hao smiled and patted Yu Yanran's hand, "If you pick it up and accept it, wouldn't you make yourself an enemy? Seal all the gifts on the gift list and wait a few days to send them back in the name of return gifts. They Of course you understand what I mean."
"My husband has a way."
"You want to say that I am a thief"
Yu Yanran smiled. He said, "I don't have one. Husband, please don't accuse me unjustly."
Qin Hao saw Yu Yanran's charming appearance. If she hadn't been pregnant, he would have taken her down right now.
Yu Yanran burst out laughing suddenly and pushed Qin Hao out of the door, "Husband, you'd better go to Feicui and Qingmei's place to spend the night. I can't serve you now."
After saying that, he closed the door directly. Qin Hao was a little helpless. Was he forced to be a scumbag?
Turning around, Qin Hao came to the front office before the time came. Before that, he had After saying hello, today at midnight, except for the seriously ill person who is bedridden, everyone else will be here.
The reason why he did not carry out a surprise attack was to prevent others from saying that he would be punished for not teaching him. His words had already been released. If anyone dared to go against the trend, they would be seeking death. No one can blame him.
Qin Hao sat in the main seat of the main hall of the Si Yamen in front of the palace, with his hands standing silently one by one. Qin Hao looked at Yuan Wenshao aside and signaled that it was time to start.
Yuan Wenshao excitedly held the roster of the Palace Chief. Although his position had not changed, Qin Hao transferred him over on his first day in office. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was going to be lucky.
"The deputy chief of the front department inspects Li Jingtai."
"Arrived"
"The commander of the front department is Commander Yang Bin."
"Arrived."
The names were read one by one very smoothly. Yuan Wenshao also looked at everyone present to avoid anyone pretending to be someone else.After working in the front office for so many years, Yuan Wenshao may not be able to do anything else, but he is still familiar with the job.
"Everyone is waiting for Zhou Zheng."
For a long time, no one responded. Everyone present looked at each other, and many people had good intentions in their eyes. The look on his face after watching the show.
Qin Hao smiled without leaving a trace and asked, "Marquis Yu, the capital of the Four Kingdoms, is seriously ill and bedridden."
The deputy capital of the front department inspected Li Jingtai He reported back, "My lord, I have never seen Zhou Zheng's leave application."
Qin Hao nodded, "Then send someone to Zhou Zheng's home to ask, but he is suddenly seriously ill. Don't wrongly accuse him. If there is no serious illness, just carry him over."
"No." Two soldiers took the order.
"Continue." Qin Hao took a sip of tea calmly and said to Yuan Wenshao.
Yuan Wenshao continued to roll the roll, and everything went smoothly. Even those who were injured or lame came. Qin Hao let these people take leave to recuperate on the spot.
Not long after, two soldiers carried a middle-aged man smelling of alcohol to the Si Yamen in front of the palace.
Qin Hao was so angry, "It seems that our Du Yuhou is not seriously ill, so I can rest assured."
Everyone present could not help but I shuddered, it was more terrifying than being angry, it was like the calm before the storm.
"Come here, let our Marquis Du Yu wake up."
A basin of cold water was poured directly on Zhou Zheng's face. Zhou Zheng was so excited that he was confused by the lake. He jumped up and cursed immediately.
"Which bastard dares to tease me?"
Qin Hao sneered, "Du Yuhou is so majestic."
Zhou Zheng has not yet fully woken up. He opened his eyes, shook his head, and looked around, "Hey, aren't I in Yicui Building?"
"It turns out that he is not suffering from a serious illness, but that he is sleeping with a prostitute. Du Yuhou is living like this It's really enviable." After Qin Hao finished speaking, he slammed the table and shouted.
"Come here, drag me out and beat me with thirty military sticks. I will take off as a city gate guard from now on. If you leave your post without permission, military law will be engaged."
Zhou Zheng was picked up Only then did he wake up, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Sir, please be merciful, I am the nephew-in-law of Duke Cheng."
"You are trying to use Duke Cheng to pressure me. Do you know that I am an official?" The family's decree is to rectify the front office of the palace. Do you think the official's decree is more important, or the face of Duke Cheng is more important?" Qin Hao snorted coldly, waved his hand, and Zhou Zheng was dragged away.
Soon, Zhou Zheng's screams were heard, and everyone present was shocked. Zhou Zheng's backstage was not unyielding, but Qin Hao handled it without any hesitation. It seems that in the future It’s time to keep your tail between your legs.
Qin Hao stood up, walked in front of everyone, and said loudly, "I know that many of you have backstage, but since I have accepted the official order, I can only handle business matters. From now on, the front office of the palace will implement military regulations. Those who are not on duty will be sent out every day.Damn it, those who are absent without reason will be given twenty sticks, demoted one rank, and let them go. ”
This news caused a huge shock not only in the Dianqian Division, but also in the entire Forbidden Army. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, most of the Forbidden Army were just decorations and would only be deployed when the border troops changed defenses. There is a chance to fight, so I have always been lazy about training.
Not to mention practicing every day, I can't even train once every five days.
The situation of the Dianqian Division is different. Slightly better, including the Japanese Army, Tianwu Army, Dragon Guard Army, and Divine Guard Army, the combat effectiveness of these four armies is pretty good, and the rest are also poor in training.
This was also the case back then. The reason why the king can rebel and control the imperial city
"Oh, how can I stand this daily practice? Why don't we find a relationship and please transfer the palace chief?"
"It's all this idiot Zhou Zheng's fault. Marquis Jinghai informed us in advance of the first day of the attack, but he even hit the muzzle of the gun, causing all of us to suffer. "
The news reached Zhao Zongquan's ears, and he was even more satisfied with Qin Hao, "Haha, I knew that Marquis Jinghai was a person who could be entrusted with important tasks. ”
Of course, there are also some who are lucky, but they soon find out that they are wrong, and they are very wrong.
Turn around, and perform martial arts in the Forbidden Army early in the morning On the field, Qin Hao had been waiting for them for a long time. There were almost 70,000 soldiers and horses in charge of the front department, which was quite shocking in the martial arts field. This was the first time that Qin Hao had commanded so many soldiers.
"Let's practice," Qin Hao said to Yuan Wenshao.
Yuan Wenshao handed the order to the troops, and the entire martial arts field was filled with people practicing. After watching for a while, Qin Hao shook his head. Even the performance of the Japanese Army, Tianwu Army, Dragon Guard Army, and Divine Guard Army, known as the top four armies, was unsatisfactory. As for the others, it was even more miserable. Each one looked like Weak.
"Stop" Qin Hao gave an order, and the smoke and dust dispersed from the martial arts arena. The soldiers looked at the general station in confusion, and many people whispered.
" What’s going on? It’s stopped now.”
“Can we go back to sleep?”
Facts have proved that they thought too much. Qin Hao summoned all the military commanders and gave them a small The booklet was handed to them for circulation.
This booklet is a training program compiled by Qin Hao based on some cold weapon documentaries and some modern military training documentaries he has watched. From formations to soldiers' methods of strength, endurance, and balance training, to more complex formations and small-scale team coordination, everything was covered at the beginning. The booklet was not taken seriously, but the further it turned, the more surprised it became.
"Master Hou, can this book really give us something?" Liang Chengwu, the leader of the Tianwu Army, asked cautiously.
In ancient times, each Xungui family had its own unique military training method, which was also the key to the Xungui family's long-term prosperity. For these military training methods, the Xungui family regarded them as top secrets.If it is passed down orally, generally only the heirs are eligible to learn.
Liang Chengwu’s own family had a similar military training method. He knew very well how precious such a military training method was.
Of course, in their eyes, the extremely precious military training method, in Qin Hao's view, is just a semi-finished product written by himself, and it is no big deal if it spreads.
"Time is tight today, so let's practice formation first."
"Nuo"
Soon, the military commanders returned to their respective teams to conduct They practiced lining up, but what surprised them was that the seemingly simple lining up turned out to be much more troublesome than they imagined.
First of all, the soldiers under your command did not distinguish between left and right. You gave the order to turn left, but many of them turned right, and some even turned themselves over.
After finally waiting for the soldiers to distinguish their left and right, the whole morning passed. As a result, they waited until the afternoon to conduct formation drills again, and many people forgot their left and right again.
Qin Hao had no better way to deal with this. Being a soldier these days was a low-level profession, and the soldiers were basically illiterate. He could only let them continue to practice and form muscle memory.
For three days in a row, they were doing basic formation drills. However, after three days, the effect was obvious. Not only did the soldiers assemble much faster than before, they also made various turns and maintained formations. The movements have made great progress.
This also caused the pamphlet written by Qin Hao to become so popular among officers at all levels in the Palace Front Department that even other generals of the Forbidden Army came to ask for it.
It’s just that no one wants to spread this kind of military training method. As a result, the pamphlet’s reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and even the British prince wants to borrow it when he goes to court.
Qin Hao was naturally not stingy, but after flipping through a few pages, the British duke was shocked and quickly returned the book to Qin Hao.
"Such a secret method, why Marquis Jinghai showed it to others so easily is beyond imagination."
Qin Hao laughed and said, "The British official said seriously, it's just some basic military training." The law is just compiled randomly in your spare time, how can it be called a secret law?"
The British Duke looked at Qin Hao in shock, "This book was compiled by Marquis Jinghai himself."
< p> "Also, I borrowed some military strategies." Qin Hao still felt somewhat guilty about plagiarism.The British Duke greatly admired him, "He is really a genius. If he trains troops according to this method, he will be able to train a strong army in less than three years."
Qin Haobut He shook his head and said, "A strong army is not made by training, but by fighting. No matter how well you train on the battlefield of Liao and Song Dynasties, the Liao army can overwhelm the so-called strong army with a single charge."
The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. In a military battle, when the disparity in strength is not too great, the side with high morale is more likely to win.
In recent years, the Song Army has basically never won against the Liao Army. According to rumors, the Liao Army has even been described as a monster that can defeat a hundred. In this environment, the Song Army has not yet defeated the Liao Army. Carrying it on the battlefieldDue to the huge psychological pressure, coupled with the blind command of a group of civil servants who don't know how to fight, it will be a ghost if they are undefeated.
The British Duke's face also became a little ugly, and he sighed, "Yes, we have to fight. My Song Dynasty really needs a victory."
In the UK After his father left, when Qin Hao was about to go home, an eunuch came to him and saluted, "Master Marquis, the officials are here to invite you."
Qin Hao came to a side hall with doubts. In the side hall, except for Zhao Zongquan, In addition, Zhao Yingce is also there.
Zhao Zongquan smiled and said to Qin Hao, "I heard that Qin Aiqing compiled a new secret book on military training. I and King Huan also benefited a lot after reading it."
Qin Hao didn't either. It was too unexpected. Zhao Zongquan was the emperor, and Bianjing was the territory of the Imperial City Division. It was naturally easy to find out any news.
"It's just made up at random. Many of them need to be verified before we can determine whether it works."
Zhao Zongquan waved his hand, "Qin Aiqing doesn't have to be modest. This booklet of yours is It caused quite a stir among the noble generals. Their vision is always right.”
After a few more pleasantries, Zhao Zongquan finally revealed his true purpose, which was actually to hold the A military parade, a display in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Qin Hao's heart moved. Could it be that Zhao Zongquan was preparing to start a war with the Liao Kingdom?
"Maybe it will be on the first day of next month"
Hearing this, Zhao Zongquan smiled slightly. He was startled, "Isn't the time too tight?"
This was because he was worried that there would not be enough time for training, and he would make a fool of himself during the military parade, which would affect his image of civil and martial arts. Qin Hao said seriously, "It's just It's enough to handle the military parade."
"Okay, then on the first day of next month, Qin Aiqing is indeed a pillar of talent. It takes only half a month to take over the position of front minister and turn him into a new person. It is not easy. "Zhao Zongquan didn't hesitate to praise him at all, and it was obvious that he was really happy.
When he succeeded to the throne, considering the complicated situation in the court, he had been prepared to pave the way for his son for a lifetime. Unexpectedly, in just five years, he had already cleared most of the obstacles.
This also gave him the idea of expediting the Northern Expedition to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun had become a thorn in his side. Apart from the Yellow River, the capital of the Song Dynasty had no other territory. There is no danger to defend, and the Liao army's cavalry can threaten Bianjing at any time. Zhao Zongquan has trouble sleeping and eating every time he thinks of this.
If he can recapture the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, not only will his throne be secure, but he will also leave a mark in the history books in the future.
Finishing the affairs of the world as a king and winning fame both before and after life. Throughout the ages, even if you are a king, it is nothing more than these pursuits. < /p>
Qin Hao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "If His Highness King Huan keeps saying this, I will float to the sky.". "
"Haha" Zhao Yingce laughed, and then said seriously, "This military parade needs to be foolproof, please Zihan for your trouble." ”
“Don’t dare to neglect your responsibilities. ”
Zhao Yingce patted Qin Hao on the shoulder, and then the two left side by side.
In the next twenty days, Qin Hao made it a point to let the soldiers of the front department practice various drills. Various changes in formations and goose-stepping in square formations are quick and effective projects.
Hearing that officials will inspect the military parade with civil and military officials, the morale of the soldiers is also high. For ordinary soldiers. , being able to meet the officials is definitely something you can brag about for a lifetime.
As for the military generals, they are naturally working hard and want to perform well in front of the officials, maybe they will become officials. Where is the family's discernment?
The Ministry of Rites had to make arrangements for the military parade. Naturally, this matter could not be concealed. Soon word spread in Bianjing that the Song Dynasty had been prosperous for many years, but its military force had been weak. Not to mention the Liao Kingdom, even Xixia, which has always been barren, often pressed the Song Dynasty to the ground and rubbed it. It was really shameless.
Officials in the past dynasties rarely held such military parades, which reflected the public's view of soldiers. They are all weak, useless, and scoundrels, and they have basically no positive impression.
After the news of this military parade spread, it immediately aroused a lot of discussion among ordinary people.
" There is nothing good about these soldiers in the Song Dynasty. They have never won a battle, and they have the nerve to parade.”
“It’s just that it’s not embarrassing enough.”
These words naturally spread When it reached the ears of the soldiers, the morale of the soldiers in the martial arts field was low for a while. Upon seeing this, Qin Hao ordered: "Beat the drum. "
The soldiers quickly gathered in front of the general stage. They gathered in just five minutes. These days of drills were not in vain.
Qin Hao said loudly, "I believe the outside world You have all heard the rumors from the common people. It's embarrassing. It's so embarrassing."
"Maybe it's the common people's fault. No, because what they said is true. "
"Look up and see what you are like now. Not to mention that the people look down on you, even you yourself probably look down on yourselves."
The soldiers slowly raised their heads, their faces Qin Hao couldn't help but look ashamed.
Qin Hao shouted loudly, "Are you going to be looked down upon by the people and yourself for the rest of your life?"
"No"
"I can't hear it"
The soldiers shouted "No" at the top of their lungs
Qin Hao nodded, "Now there is an opportunity in front of you. Come and watch on the first day of next month." The military parade includes not only the officials and civil and military officials, but also the common people. It depends on you whether you can use your performance during the military parade to prove that you are not a wimp and worthy of the support of the common people. "
"Practice me for whatever you are still doing," Liang Chengwu, the leader of the Tianwu Army, shouted.
"Nuo
"
The generals who praised the Japanese army and other armies also showed no sign of praise.Weak, each led a team and rushed to the martial arts field screaming.
Yuan Wenshao looked at this scene and couldn't help but secretly admire that Qin Hao not only restored the low morale with just a few words, but also made the soldiers feel like they had been given blood. For a military general, This kind of appeal is sometimes more important than the ability to charge into battle.
