Chapter 331 Integration of the Army

For this, Gu Tingye and his family in Hefu also prepared a large-scale banquet, and they almost invited all the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty to go.

Now the whole mansion of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion is really big. Gu Tingye's yard plus the yard of Hou's Mansion is estimated to be close to 150 acres. The guys who eat are also porcelain provided by the official kiln, most of which are white porcelain from Ding Kiln.

There are also many ornaments in the house, and even many flower pots and vases in the house are official kiln porcelain, which shows the prosperity of the Song Dynasty culture today.

These dignitaries, nobles and lords enjoyed almost all the supplies and support from the people, and they used the best things. Only a small amount of porcelain from Chai Kiln and Ru Kiln was supplied to them, and most of the porcelain produced by these two kilns was supplied to them. royal.

And the firewood kilns of later generations have almost become porcelain that has disappeared in the Jianghu. Its rarity is really only heard in legends, and no one has ever seen it.

But in Gu Tingye's courtyard, Zeng Yunfeng saw many of these things that the emperor bestowed on him, and if they were placed in modern times, each of them could be said to be truly priceless.

Porcelain of the Song Dynasty is very much in line with the aesthetic characteristics of the literati in the Central Plains. They emphasize freshness and elegance. The most prosperous dynasties of porcelain are the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

Zeng Yunfeng is not particularly relaxed at this kind of banquet, and he doesn't like to listen to their Nanqu troupe.

As for Zeng Yunfeng's eldest lady, she is like a fish in water when encountering this kind of scene. The title of imperial order on her head makes her very beautiful. There are three women in Sheng's family, all of whom have imperial titles. One is Zeng Yunfeng's eldest lady and old lady, One is his daughter Minglan.

Ming Lan was married to Gu Tingye, and Gu Tingye inherited the title of Marquis, so Ming Lan was also named His Majesty.

Although Zeng Yunfeng's identity is not particularly outstanding in the crowd, he is very attractive. People always come to him to toast him, and then chat with him. He is annoyed to death by this kind of etiquette toast.

After all, he is now a member of the third rank of the court, doctor Jin Ziguanglu, a bachelor of Guanwendian, and serves as the envoy of the Ministry of Household Affairs.Among so many second-rank officials and even these lords in the court, he seemed inconspicuous, but many civil officials in the court knew that this person really controlled the economic lifeline of the Song court.

In recent years, Zeng Yunfeng has made a lot of preparations for the war. He has hoarded a lot of food and grass in Bianliang, Tokyo and the front lines facing Xixia, Liao Kingdom and Tubo tribes on several roads.

Zeng Yunfeng's overseas investment and the various grain production areas invested in the two lakes and two rivers in the past few years have now received a large-scale return, and soon the military grain reserves of each warehouse of the Song Army have been greatly improved.

In the current Song Dynasty, the three phenomena of redundant soldiers, redundant personnel, and redundant waste are already emerging. Why the current emperor picks out so many Huangzhuang from his hands and distributes them to the ministers who have done meritorious service is because these people have begun to change in it. Become a moth, become a silverfish.

They began to cling to it and suck the blood of the country.

Zeng Yunfeng had no choice but to sit in the front yard and could only listen to the babbling libretto, and there was a mess of noisy news and gossip from the banquet that the women in the back were going to.

Things like gossip always spread quickly, and the daughter of the Duke of England had conflicts with his daughter Minglan and the concubine of the uncle's family.

The Duke of England is the veteran of the three dynasties. From Song Zhenzong to the present, he is the only great general left in the court. The daughter of the Duke of England and the uncle of the country are married by the emperor himself.

Uncle Guo's original wife was killed by these rebels of King Yan in order to protect the empress. Now the emperor decides to renew him, and the object of the rebirth is the daughter of the British public.

This marriage can be said to be a proper political marriage, and it was a matchmaker protected by the emperor. It has also changed from a family matter to a state matter.

At the beginning, the emperor did these things to combine the power he brought from Yuzhou with the inherent military power of the current imperial court, and wanted to unite them together, and unified the power of the generals under the emperor's command. Gu Tingye's family banquet slapped the British public in the face.

This time, the unreasonable behavior of the British Duke's daughter at the banquet slapped Zeng Yunfeng's daughter Minglan in the face in public, but this matter is related to the entire emperor's plan. Not only will Gu Tingye not care about these things, but he will try his best to match Uncle Guo and Zhang, the daughter of the Duke of England.

This is related to the emperor's plan. If the emperor can't even unify the military power in the country, there is no way to launch a war abroad. When soldiers fight, they still have the final say.

In the military, these people have a certain right to speak. After all, the soldiers below will go to the battlefield with their heads up when they fight with you. If you don't have the background of the leader's family, no strange soldier should be able to follow you with confidence.

Just to give an example, for example, if you are a descendant of General Di Qing's family, these soldiers will know that you should have two brushes in war as soon as they hear your name, and your morale will be OK. At least the soldiers will initially trust you.

But if you are an unknown person, no one will really dare to follow you unless you see these brothers in battle and establish a reputation based on your achievements. Otherwise, if the situation is unfavorable or the war is deadlocked, there will definitely be Lots of deserters and morale will be low.

And now the Song Dynasty also likes to deploy defenses, and it is very common. This is one of the reasons for the waste of the Song Dynasty.

This has caused soldiers in many places to not know their generals, especially if the generals are not led by the imperial army of the Song Dynasty, but some miscellaneous troops, then there will be a large number of deserters when there is a battle in all likelihood.

In addition, many of these miscellaneous soldiers are ordinary people who rebelled in the local area. They came to the army to serve as soldiers because they were hungry. I wonder how high their military quality can be.

They are just a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes. They came out to rebel because they would starve to death because they had no food to eat. If they fought with you now, they might lose their lives, and they would choose to run away.

The army of the Song Dynasty was divided into the forbidden army and the township soldiers.

Among the Forbidden Army, those who really have combat effectiveness and are the elite of the elite are also the upper army in the Forbidden Army, commonly known as the Shangsi Army, which are Pengri, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei.

Among the four armies, only the Pengri and Tianwu armies did not need to move their defenses, and all other armies had to be moved.

That is to say, the deployment of defense by the army now. Those in charge of these troops were called the Sanya in the Song Dynasty.

Now Zeng Yunfeng's son-in-law Gu Tingye is serving as the deputy commander in front of the palace, so some people in the court say that he is a close minister of the upstart emperor, because he is in charge of the elite troops.

Among the three yamen, the generals who served were called "Guan Jun". They were the highest-ranking generals in the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty, with about eleven positions.

The army organization of the Song Dynasty was set according to the ranks of army, Xiang, army, command, and capital. Except for the elite of the forbidden army, the others basically followed this organization.

There are about 100 officers and soldiers in one capital, one capital head, five of them form a command battalion, one commander, and a force of 500 people.

Five commanders form a small corps with a strength of 2500 men.

Ten small legions form a box with a strength of 25000 men.

The two compartments form a large army with a total strength of [-] troops.

The Forbidden Army in the Song Dynasty was divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The middle-level army and the lower-level army basically used this organization.

So, now the number of truly combat-ready troops in the Great Song Dynasty is less than 10, and the other non-Forbidden Army people just follow behind to fight the wind, build momentum, clean the battlefield, and transport supplies. Therefore, it is not realistic to let other armies charge forward to chew hard bones.

The rest of the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty basically have no problem defending the city. If they want to attack, it is estimated that it will be a bit difficult.
