Returning to maritime affairs, Zhao Hong became more serious and thoughtful again.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first year is the most urgent and important. Wu Qing, the burden on your shoulders is not light!"
At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, there were so many things going on that it was impossible for him to do everything by himself and cover every aspect. If that were the case, he would be really exhausted.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! I will do my best and live up to your Majesty's trust!"
Wu Qian grimaced and replied solemnly.
It seems that this year's New Year's Day is impossible, and returning home is a luxury. Now we have to arrange everything.
"Pressure is also motivation. If you need people or things, I will fully support you!"
As Zhao Hong spoke, the topic suddenly changed.
"Guys, do you think that if I, the King of Song Dynasty, go all the way north, from the sea to Yanjing, can we restore the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop?"
That's how he is. When an idea comes to him, if he doesn't express it, he will panic.
Wei Liaoweng and Wu Qian were stunned for a while. They and Zhao Shanxiang looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
Is the emperor joking or not?
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were the nightmare and heart disease of all the Song dynasties!
"I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. When the Song Dynasty becomes stronger in the future, I may be able to use it one day."
Zhao Hong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty, within a few years, our navy of the Great Song Dynasty will be able to dominate the world. Our navy of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be able to send our troops northward to restore the land of Yanyun!"
Zhao Hong's eyes were lonely and his expression was emotional. Wu Qian felt hot in his heart and blurted out.
The Lord is worried about the death of his ministers. Zhao Hong was kind to him, so he could only work hard to share his worries for you.
"Okay! You and I, the monarchs, ministers and envoys, together with thousands of men of the Song Dynasty, will shed your blood for the rejuvenation of the Song Dynasty and the rejuvenation of China!"
Zhao Hong patted Wu Qian's shoulder and nodded heavily.
The chief admiral of the navy seems to have found the right person. And by nominating Wu Qian as the chief admiral of the navy, if he is paired with officers from the Jiangwu Hall, he seems to be in control of the navy.
The Army, it seems, is the same.
"Wei Qing, Zhao Qing, mobilize the armies and ask the officers from the Ministry of War to handle it immediately. Don't take it lightly and cause a commotion."
As Wu Qian said, if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely do this and restore the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop, occupying the Great Wall passes such as Juyongguan and Deshengkou.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, you can only see the vast scenery. You have to climb the Great Wall to appreciate the scenery of the North.
"I obey the decree!"
Wei Liaoweng and others received the decree together.
From infantry to navy, new armies must be organized and trained. The emperor is playing a big game of chess!
"Wei Qing, I want you to go to Jinling and work hard to organize the Jinling Lecture Hall and Jinling University Hall."
Zhao Hong looked at the fluttering snowflakes and finally returned to the topic.
This is the most important thing, the foundation of a strong army and a strong country.
"Jinling Martial Arts Hall? Jinling University Hall?"
Wei Liaoweng was shocked and looked at Zhao Hong stupidly.
Just now it was the Naval Academy of the Song Dynasty, and now it is the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall and the Jinling University Hall. The emperor wanted to give top priority to the preparation of military equipment.
And what is this Jinling University Hall used for?
"The Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall is designed to train officers at all levels in our Song Dynasty army. The Jinling University Hall is used to supplement grassroots officials. The Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall is located in the Jinling Palace. There must be a training ground, and the Martial Arts Lecture Hall must be able to accommodate the upper and lower ranks. School and accommodation for thousands of people. As for the Jinling University Hall, it is located in the guard Ma Junsi, with about two to three thousand people. The dormitory and school must be repaired. If the school room is not enough, it can be expanded."
Zhao Hong thought about it and said it.
The Jinling Martial Arts School and the Song Dynasty Naval Academy trained officers, and the Jinling University School trained administrative personnel. One is a strong army, the other is good governance, they complement each other and bring out the best in each other.
"Thousands of people!"
Wei Liaoweng, including Zhao Shanxiang and Wu Qian, everyone's heart beat faster.
The new emperor was ambitious and his mind moved too fast, and they really couldn't keep up.
"Wei Qing, in March next year, the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall will be opened. The Jinling University Hall can be delayed a little. It is already the twelfth lunar month, and this New Year's Day will be hard for you. You can spend it in Jinling City."
Zhao Hong ordered him to go down without any courtesy.
"I obey the decree!"
Wei Liaoweng had no choice but to accept the order.
The emperor wants to work hard to govern, and I am afraid that the Naval Academy, Jinling Lecture Hall and Jinling University Hall will be the beginning of the New Deal.
"Wei Qing, you don't need to ask any more questions. I will arrange the relevant teaching staff and martial arts hall facilities later. From today on, you will be the vice-principal of the Jinling Military Academy, and I will be the principal."
Zhao Hong smiled happily.
He is going to transcend the times and be like Yuan Datou and Bald Jiang 800 years ago.
"Your Majesty, I can't support myself alone. The personnel and expenses required..."
Wei Liaoweng asked weakly.
"For any officials from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and even the Ministry of Household who need it, just report them and I will fully cooperate. As for the money needed, bring all the more than 2 million yuan of property that Shi Miyuan and others confiscated. If it is not enough, Then leave from the general headquarters on Jiangnan East Road."
Shi Miyuan, Cheng Jue and others used the proceeds from confiscating their homes for the construction of the Lecture Hall and Jinling Academy, which can be regarded as atonement.
"Your Majesty, are these forbidden troops competing for the Jinling Martial Arts Hall also used?"
Wei Liaoweng seemed to understand a little.
"You are right! The competition is to select the elite of the Forbidden Army and train them to become instructors of sword and shield bearers and spearmen. Not only the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall, but also the Naval Academy must be equipped. In addition, these soldiers also need to train the formation Wait, we will teach them in the future. Martial arts courses, plus medicine, mathematics, history, geography, etc. That’s probably it.”
He can write some textbooks on history, geography, and mathematics. After all, he works as a teacher all day long.
Even though he has become an emperor, he still thinks about becoming a teacher and even looks forward to it.
Isn't this mean? Or is it that you just can’t let go in your bones?
Wei Liaoweng seemed to understand Zhao Hong's words. However, he understood about half of what Jinling was doing at the Wushu Hall.
Isn’t it just training officers?
"Wei Gong, don't underestimate Jiangwutang. He is completely different from what you imagined. To change the Song Dynasty, we must start from Jiangwutang and Naval Academy."
Noticing that Wei Liaoweng didn't seem to pay much attention to him, Zhao Hong couldn't help but exhort him.
"Your Majesty, please remember this!"
Wei Liaoweng was embarrassed and couldn't help but ask.
"Since Your Majesty founded two great schools, why should they be placed in Jinling instead of Lin'an City? Wouldn't it be more convenient?"
The Naval Academy of the Song Dynasty is located in Qingyuan Prefecture. Since it has to go to sea to practice at any time, it is understandable that it is located on the beach of Qingyuan Prefecture.
Lin'an City is the seat of the capital, an important place in Jifu, rich and prosperous, so it is most suitable to locate the martial arts hall and the university hall in Lin'an City. Why go to Jinling City?
"Wei Qing, do you think Lin'an City, where "the warm breeze makes tourists drunk", is really suitable for setting up a martial arts hall?"
Zhao Hong looked at the heated match scene and shook his head slightly.
"The people of Lin'an City are arrogant and extravagant. They are only suitable for enjoyment, not for doing things. No matter how heroic and heroic you are, they will be dissolved in wine, sex and wealth. Jinling City is adjacent to the border fortress, where dragons and tigers roost. With a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, everything starts anew. "
Along the way, he became a model for all provinces in the Song Dynasty. The fact that the two universities are located in Jinling City has another meaning. He wanted to use Jiangnan East Road as a pilot to implement the new policy, and of course he had to start with Jinling City, the capital of Jiangnan East Road.
"Your Majesty is clear."
Wei Liaoweng smiled and answered.
"The warm wind makes tourists drunk" came out of the emperor's mouth, so Lin'an City was naturally inappropriate.
"Everyone, I will tell you the truth. I want to implement the New Deal on Jiangnan East Road, organize and train a new army, strengthen the army and strengthen the country. This is another reason why the Martial Arts Hall and the University Hall are located in Jinling."
Zhao Hong's words made Wei Liaoweng and others suddenly realize that they were all worried about Zhao Hong.
The new emperor was ambitious, and many of his ideas had to start from Jiangnan East Road and Jinling. But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. It won't be long before the new emperor will give up his mind.
The new emperor transferred 16,000 Jiangnan East Road soldiers to Jinling. The military strength of Jiangnan East Road had reached more than 60,000 people, surpassing Lin'an City.
Does the new emperor's move mean to strengthen his troops or move the capital north?
"Your Majesty, Zhang Hong advanced to the first place in the Swordsmanship Group D, Xu Sheng advanced to the first place in the Spear Skills Group A, and Hu Datou and Wang Ying also advanced!"
Everyone had different thoughts. When Tian Yi came over to report, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Zhao Hong smiled and nodded.
Zhang Hong and Xu Sheng are both strong men, and Hu Datou is also a strong man. I didn't expect that my bodyguard was so skilled.
"Who was the person who fought Zhang San just now?"
Zhao Hong subconsciously became interested.
"Your Majesty, this person's name is Wang Dalong, and he is the number one in the Spear Skills Group A. Zhang San was unlucky and met him early. Wang Dalong's spear skills are extremely superb, and he rarely has an opponent with a Yang family spear. I'm afraid Xu Sheng is no match either. You can be called the master of spear art in the Great Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Hong smiled. Tian Yi is a master of spear skills, so his analysis is certainly reliable.
Zhang San can compete with Wang Dalong for more than ten rounds. It seems that his men are not weak. No wonder Wang Gui, Gao Hu and other tough men obey him.
"If Xu Sheng, Hu Datou, and Wang Ying come together and fight with their lives using stabbing skills, will they be Wang Dalong's opponent?"
"Your Majesty, the stabbing technique is extremely injurious, and the spear is bloody. Just Xu Sheng and Hu Datou, Wang Dalong may have fallen long ago."
Tian Yi's analysis made Zhao Hong nodded slightly.
The art of bayoneting is a way to kill people. The bayonet is red. It relies not only on skills, but also on the fearlessness and courage to die together. Of course it is indestructible.
"General Tian, I, Wu Qian, the new deputy coastal commander, have some ideas about artillery, and I would like to discuss them with General Tian."
Wu Qian suddenly spoke and bowed to Tian Yi.
"Xianggong Wu, it doesn't matter if you say so!"
Tian Yi said with a smile on his face, feeling extremely satisfied psychologically.
A pig butcher was actually treated with courtesy by a well-dressed scholar-bureaucrat. As the saying goes, thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, one moment and another.
This is the life a man should have!
"General Tian, if we fight at sea, artillery projectiles will be too far away to be effective. Small cannons are more effective, so..."
Wu Qian and Tian Yi were talking softly on the side. Zhao Hong listened carefully and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Wu Qian, you are right! In maritime operations, the probability of hitting from a long distance is too small. Only in close combat can we hit the target. Warships need to use large-caliber short-barreled artillery to shoot flatly, and the range of one or two hundred steps is enough!"
This Wu Qian was able to discover operational problems in naval battles before seeing the artillery. He did have two brushes.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true! Combat at sea depends on the accuracy of shooting. Just say something casually, and your Majesty will have a countermeasure. Your Majesty is indeed a master!"
Wu Qian was surprised by Zhao Hong's erudition and complimented the emperor, not knowing whether it was true or not.
"Your Majesty, the 24-pound short-barreled artillery is being prepared. When it is finished and tested, we will try to build the 48-pound one!"
Tian Yi nodded and said.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that these short-barreled heavy artillery were all prepared for the navy.
"Just let Zheng Tu do it. You are now in charge of firearms instructor training, especially the training of gunner instructors!"
Zhao Hong nodded and warned seriously.
24 kilograms is about 14.5 kilograms, which is 29 kilograms, which is close to the 32-pound artillery of later generations. 32 pounds, 64 pounds, what kind of warship can stop this blast of shells?
Snowflakes were falling slowly from the sky. Zhao Hong couldn't help but think about the lively scene of thousands of troops competing on the school field.
If all the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were so angry that they risked their lives, Genghis Khan's cavalry did not seem to be very scary.
Firearms plus courage, coupled with well-trained warriors, should be the foundation of this era.
