These veterans and generals who have experience in battlefield fighting know very well that for the Song Dynasty army that lacks cavalry, the importance of archers on the battlefield is unquestionable.
Nowadays, the archers, whose shooting range has been greatly improved, can use their ultra-long-range bows to rain down arrows two to three rounds in advance, severely defeating the enemy.
They can also use their long-range arrows to cover their own soldiers, leaving the combat range in time to block the enemy's pursuit.
Master Zhao Ji did not let Gao Zhang leave, so Gao Zhang could only stand by Master Zhao Ji's side.
Listening to the master's exaggerated low voice from time to time, and from time to time, like a curious baby, he would ask some stupid questions that were very low-end for military fans.
But Gao Zhang certainly would not despise his master for his lack of understanding of military affairs.
After all, although the master is full of talents, although he has no military talent, he is still able to pay attention to the military exercises of the Song Dynasty and never forget his father, Emperor Shenzong's dream of destroying Xixia and regaining his old land. This is a good phenomenon.
Give him more military knowledge and let him know more about Wu Ben of the Song Dynasty.
The more you can understand how hard-earned every military victory of the Song Dynasty was.
Don't listen to the nonsense of those idle civil servants who are even willing to use the Song Dynasty's land and wealth in exchange for a moment of peace in order to settle the matter.
Wealth can never buy peace. Only an elite and invincible warrior can use an iron fist to harvest the fruits of peace.
This means that no matter how big a country is, if it loves war, it will perish; no matter how peaceful the world is, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger.
This spring parade lasted from early morning until the end of noon, and then it came to an end.
Official Zhao Ji was quite satisfied with this military parade, and he praised Gao Qiu, the person in charge of the spring parade, and all the military officials.
Many rewards were given, not only to these officials, but also to the soldiers participating in the spring military parade. They also received generous rewards.
#####
Turning his eyes, Zhao Ji once again looked at the father and son Gao Qiu and Gao Zhang who were standing in front of them and had not yet awarded the reward.
He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly looked around to the left and right, and saw the envious and jealous faces among the ministers.
This made Zhao Ji immediately understand. He stroked his short beard and looked at the father and son. He already had a calculation in his heart, and immediately showed a meaningful smile.
Then the officials of the Song Dynasty began to praise Gao Qiu, the captain who played football. He was good at both civil and military affairs. He was good at running the army and knew military strategies. Otherwise, he would not be as good as Gao Zhang, a good boy who was good at both civil and military affairs.
This time the spring parade was a complete success, both Gao Qiu and his son Gao Zhang have made great contributions, and I cannot help but reward them highly.
"Therefore, I intend to appoint Gao Aiqing as a Tongzhi Privy Councilor. I wonder what you all, dear ministers, think?"
Just when the official Zhao Ji had just mentioned the official position of Tongzhi Privy Councilor, not to mention the civil and military officials, there was an uproar. Even Gao Ji himself was a little confused.
Is it possible that the officials are a bit crazy? He is a military minister. Since the Song Dynasty, it is extremely rare for military ministers to transfer to civil servants.
Just think about the time when Di Qing, as a military minister, actually entered the Privy Council. You must know that the Privy Council has always been reserved for civilian officials who are proficient in military strategy, or who think they are proficient in military strategy.
As a result, the Di Qing boss was frequently ostracized and suppressed by civil servants, and even impeached. In short, even the Di Qing family's dog had horns on its head. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, the shit basin must be placed on your head Di Qing.
He didn't even have enough martial arts. He only relied on the favor of the officials, and as an old man from Qiandi, he went to the battlefield with Liu Zhongwu and returned with meritorious service, so that he could be ranked first among the military officials.
Now, as an official, you want to put me into the Privy Council, which is regarded as a taboo by civil servants. Do you think I am tired of life or something?
Gao Zhang also looked at his father with a confused look on his face. When he saw his shocked expression and confused eyes clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, my biological father does not have a brain collapse or cerebellum imbalance, so this should be the wishful thinking of the Hunjun Master, but what is his purpose in doing this?
At this moment, a group of ministers and ministers stood up one after another and expressed their opposition in fierce words. They believed that according to the practice of the Song Dynasty, military ministers could not enter the Privy Council. This was an ancestral system.
Although Di Qing had outstanding achievements back then, he also knew that he could not bear this important task, so he took the initiative to resign.
Even a famous general of the Song Dynasty like Di Qing, who worked his way up step by step with countless great achievements, cannot afford such a responsibility, haha...
Everyone knows that Captain Gao is by no means a kind person, so he will never tell the whole story, only talk about the ancestral system, or use other people as examples.
It means that we are not targeting you, Taiwei Gao, but the ancestral system. We are just discussing the matter.
Gao Zhang looked at Master Hunjun with a confused look on his face. His expression changed from confident at first to a bit angry, and his face began to look ugly.
Quickly and covertly, he reached out his finger and quietly poked his father's elbow.
Gao Qiu, who had regained his senses from the shock, naturally understood what Aiko meant.
He immediately took a step forward and bowed respectfully to the Hunjun. He expressed with sincerity and fear that he was not talented enough and his military strategy was mediocre. If he entered the Privy Council, he would appear to be dissatisfied with the public, so he asked the officials to take back his orders.
Seeing Gao Qiu take the initiative to express his thoughts, the official Zhao Ji's face was as dark as water, he stroking his long beard and pondered for a long time, and his eyes began to wander around the father and son.
Then he simply strode forward, helped Gao Qiu up, patted Gao Zhang's beloved disciple's thin shoulders, and swept him left and right.
"Little Gao Aiqing is a son who can inherit his father's ambition. He is not only knowledgeable and talented, but also has made great achievements in military training.
This spring parade will greatly boost the morale of our army and people in the Song Dynasty, and let the world know the power of our Song Dynasty’s fierce tigers and the sharpness of our soldiers...
It has a great relationship with Xiao Gao Aiqing's contribution to the court of his methods of military management and training. It can be said that he has done great service to the country, so you. "
"I have decided to grant him the title of Minister of Longtuge. The Deputy Privy Council will accept the decree. I wonder if you, the ministers, have any objections?"
"Ah, this..."
Gao Zhang looked at the Master Hunzong in front of him with a shocked expression, who secretly winked at him.
Lying on grass! It's so awesome, Hunjun Shizun You is indeed my true fan.
It seems that the trick just now to scare the snake was clearly for the sake of the current situation.
With the service system of Longtuge, wouldn't it be possible for me to be called Gaolongtu by the world in the future? As for the Privy Council's decree, this thing is an official position in the Privy Council.
He is a civil servant and is proficient in military strategy. It is really appropriate for him to hold this official position on his head.
At this moment, all the ministers and ministers who had just stood up to oppose the official's treatment of Gao Qiu could not help but look at each other.
"..."
PS: Keep up the good work!
