Chapter 302 The House of Glory
"it is good!"

On the arena, a martial artist flew upside down and fell into the arena. The winner proudly greeted the cheers of the audience on the arena.

"Go and check his injuries immediately, especially pay attention to whether there are internal injuries!"

Fan Zheng didn't pay attention to the victorious Wusheng, but focused on the injured Wusheng.

Immediately, a team of doctors stepped forward to record the injuries of the defeated samurai. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for doctors to observe blunt force injuries.

When Zeng Bu saw this scene, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Fan Zheng never forgets to improve the medical skills of doctors.

However, he had to admit that Fan Zheng's medical skills were really superb. None of the swords in martial arts were sharpened, and he was covered in armor. However, during the martial arts competition, countless people suffered internal injuries and fractures.

In previous martial arts competitions, cases of disability, serious injury and even death abounded. Now that Fan Zheng and other famous doctors are here, not a single martial artist has been damaged.

After rounds of fierce competition, Yang Bangyi, a descendant of the Yang family, finally won the title of Wu Zhuangyuan.

"In the past, "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" promoted the Yang family's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and there were suggestions to emulate the Yang family generals to form the Great Song Dynasty generals. Now there are suggestions to support the descendants of the Yang family to win the champion of martial arts! Fan Taicheng is too partial to the Yang family Bar!"

With the end of the martial arts, the privy envoy Zeng Bu had a strange way of yin and yang.

Fan Zheng glanced at Zeng Bu in surprise and said, "Master Zeng is guarding against the general?"

Zeng Bu said without hesitation: "Although generals have made countless contributions to the Song Dynasty, their control of military power for generations may not be a blessing to the Song Dynasty."

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Then the imperial court should pay more attention to martial arts, and let it be like the imperial examination, to recruit talents for the Song Dynasty."

Zeng Bu sneered and said: "You think the imperial court does not pay attention to martial arts. During Renzong's time, martial arts was founded, and only a few people were recruited. It was abolished in just three months. Today's martial arts is only sponsored by Wang Xianggong alone. On such a scale.”

Fan Zheng countered: "If we want martial arts to flourish, we must eliminate discrimination against martial artists!"

Zeng Bu frowned, shook his head and said, "How difficult it is!"

Although he is a civil official, he is also a privy envoy, so he naturally knows how serious the confrontation between civil and military is.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you and I don't do it, we will never be able to change the situation of poverty and weakness in the Song Dynasty. Although you and I have different positions, we are both half-military people, so naturally we have to do it." Change the current situation of the Song Army."

Zeng Bu frowned and said, "What do you want to do!"

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "It's very simple, step by step. Now the generals are both civil and military, temporarily alleviating the prejudice of civilian officials. The next step is the soldiers."

"Soldier?" Zeng Bu asked puzzled.

Fan Zhengdao: "Fan believes that the first thing that changed in the Song army was tattooing."

"Tattoo on the face?" Zeng Bu's heart skipped a beat.

Fan Zhengzheng nodded and said: "During the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties, those who joined the army were often sons of good families, and it was considered the right path in life to improve their social status through military exploits. That's why the Han and Tang Dynasties were able to deter the barbarians, and our Great Song Dynasty was known as a million-strong army. Soldiers often need tattoos on their faces, and sons of good families are ashamed to join the army, and most of them are vagrants and country rogues who join the army. This is probably the real reason why the Song army's combat power is low."

Zeng Bu said helplessly: "Tattooing is a long-standing tradition in the army to join the army."

Even Di Qing, the military god of the Great Song Dynasty, joined the army because of tattoos. Later, he repeatedly made military exploits in the army, and finally became the Deputy Privy Councilor. However, even so, the tattoos on his face were still a stain on his life.

Fan Zhenglang said: "Tattoos have been a punishment since ancient times, and they are used to deal with criminals. There is no precedent for soldiers to use facial tattoos in Han and Tang Dynasties. Mass tattooing of soldiers began in the troubled times of the late Tang and Five Dynasties. At the beginning, Zhu Wen gave his soldiers Face tattooing was largely used to prevent soldiers from fleeing, and it was imitated by other separatist forces later on, and since the Song Dynasty has already ruled the world, naturally there is no such thing as soldiers fleeing, and naturally there is no need for tattooing."

Zeng Bu shook his head and said: "Fan Taicheng doesn't know something. Soldiers are selected because they are sent to the army for crimes, and most soldiers only need to have tattoos on their arms and other hidden places to distinguish the soldiers' numbers and affiliations. "Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Master Zeng knows it, Fan Mou knows it too, and even the scholar-bureaucrats in the Manchu Dynasty know it, but do the people of the world understand it? The soldiers of the Song Dynasty suffered from discrimination, and the people called the soldiers thieves and soldiers. Willing to join the army, tattooing on the face has shaken the foundation of soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and it is the biggest cancer."

Zeng Bu shouted: "It's a bunch of nonsense. The imperial court treats the soldiers quite favorably. They always give "big rewards" such as copper coins and silk. Isn't this enough for them to serve the country?"

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Tattooed fighters have no military spirit. The tattooed faces of soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have already caused soldiers to be discriminated against. An army without a military spirit, even if Sun Wu is alive, may be helpless."

Zeng Bu frowned, but he didn't think so.

Fan Zheng said again: "Furthermore, Confucius once said that the body's hair, skin, and parents should not be damaged. The princes in the Manchu Dynasty often talked about the saint's teachings, but why did they turn a blind eye to the practice of Qiong's face tattoo? Could it be that the Song Dynasty really You have to place your hopes on a group of people who are unfilial to their parents."

Zeng Bu was speechless for a moment, Fan Zheng used the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, the scholar-bureaucrats were high above them, and they talked about the ways of saints, but they ignored the dignity and honor of the soldiers, and now Fan Zheng used the way of saints to kill the soldiers. The fig leaf of the scholar-officials fell.

"Tattooing is indeed not in line with the way of a saint. It's time to abolish it!" Zeng Bu finally nodded. As a privy councilor, he naturally knew the situation of the military. It is true that many people are unwilling to join the army. If this is not changed, it will be a disaster. Big hidden danger.

Immediately after the martial arts competition was over, Fan Zheng and Zeng Bu jointly wrote to the court to abolish the tattoo and tattoo system in the military.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar.

The disagreement between Fan Zheng and Zeng Bu is well known throughout the court. Before mobilizing [-] soldiers to set up a sugar cane farm, Fan Zheng and the public humiliated Zeng Bu, but he did not expect that after a martial arts competition, the two would jointly submit a memorial Reform the military system.

"Tattoos and tattoos! Can be so harmful!"

When Zhao Xu heard the report from the two, he couldn't help being startled. He didn't expect that the little tattoo was the main culprit of Song's low military power.

"Only the Great Song Dynasty treats the soldiers of the country, and the Song army will definitely die for the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty treats the soldiers with prisoners, and the soldiers talk about how loyal to the emperor and patriotic." Zeng Bu said solemnly.

"Zeng Aiqing is right." Zhao Xu's face was serious.

All the officials of the court wanted to object, but they were speechless because of the sage training from their parents.

At present, the court has adopted the policy of abolishing the tattooing of soldiers in the army.

"The officials are wise!"

Zeng Bu couldn't help being slightly proud, although Fan Zheng proposed this policy, but he took the initiative to play it to the court, and most of the credit for it naturally fell to him.

However, Fan Zheng suddenly said: "For the record, the imperial court has abolished the policy of tattooing soldiers on their faces when joining the army. I am afraid it will take 20 years before it takes effect. However, there are still a large number of tattooed soldiers in the army. I am afraid that it will You will be discriminated against by the world for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to regain your military morale in a short time."

Zhao Xu sighed immediately, he also understood that what Fan Zheng said was true, but his tattoos could not be erased, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Fan Zheng changed his words and said: "I have a side, which can boost the morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and no longer be discriminated against by the world."

"Fan Taicheng, please speak!" Zhao Xu said with joy in his heart.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "I suggest that the imperial court should give a plaque of the Home of Glory to the homes of soldiers all over the world. In this way, not only can the world's prejudice against soldiers be eliminated, but also the hearts of soldiers all over the world can be won."

"House of Glory!"

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up immediately, Fan Zheng said that the strategy offered can be said to cure the disease, the world ridiculed the soldiers as thieves in the army, tattooing on the face is against filial piety, now the court openly admits that it is a glorious family, it can be said that it is At the level of the imperial court, its name was rectified.

Zeng Bu's face darkened immediately. He thought he had gained the opportunity to abolish tattoos, but Fan Zheng used a small plaque to easily win over millions of soldiers, which made him feel embarrassed.
