Zhao Xu ignored Liu Shihai's words and said directly: "If you have any guilt, you should be punished. If you have any merits, you will naturally be rewarded. Liu Qing's family, I will reward you with a jade belt to encourage you to make contributions to the country and the people."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Liu Shihai was so excited that he burst into tears when he heard that Zhao Xu had really rewarded him. He felt that a soldier died for his confidant. He felt that he was heartbroken.

"Back to the point, our country's achievements in such a large land area in a short period of time have greatly reduced the military expenditure during the war, but the large amount of land obtained in a short period of time has also caused our country's troops to be insufficient. In this short period of seven years, the number of our army's imperial guards was one million, which has soared to two million, which has greatly reduced the overall combat effectiveness of all our imperial guards and doubled the previous military expenditure. Zhou Laoqing's family, your Ministry of War must strengthen military training for our existing troops and ideological education on loyalty to the empire, and military training and ideological education must be grasped and both hands must be strong. The deterrent purpose of this military parade is to fight for a military buffer period of about five years for our country, so that these countries will not have any abnormal movement within five years."

"Yes, your Majesty, I obey the order."

"In addition, the generals guarding the gates of fortresses across the country were transferred back to Bianliang City in batches, so that they could all enter the Imperial Military Academy to conduct a year-long further study of military cultural theory and ideological education, and name this type of senior generals as officer training students, and I personally serve as their chief officer."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have recorded it. After a while, the old minister returned to the Ministry of War and conducted batch statistics on the generals guarding the passes from the military post to pass the message to them." Zhou Tong said

Then Zhao Xu found a team of imperial guards and slowly told Zhou Tong what marching was, but Zhao Xu did not tell Zhou Tong the action of walking in a straight line. The reason was very simple. The Song Dynasty's military uniforms had knee-length skirt armor. If they were walking in a straight line, the skirt armor would not be flying and dusty. Therefore, Zhao Xu simply did not tell Zhou Tong what marching was. Finally, he also told everyone about the troops reviews, parades, displays of various military parades in later generations, such as the military parades, displays of various military types, float parades, portraits of the late emperors, various folk entertainment activities at night, etc.

I didn't know if I didn't say this, but I was shocked when I said it. After Zhao Xu finished talking about the many things he knew about the military parade of the national conditions in the future, the sky had completely darkened. Zhao Xu stretched out and took another sip of tea with a slight chill. Zhao Xu ordered the ministers in front of him to expel him without hesitation: "I've almost finished what I want to say, you all go."

These ministers were also used to it, because the emperor Zhao Xu, usually never invited his ministers to dinner, so Zhou Tong, Liu Shihai and others simply bowed to Zhao Xu and said, "I will leave, long live my emperor."

After Zhou Tong, Liu Shihai, Xu Liang and Zheng Junyan left, Zhao Xu watched the darkness gradually becoming rich outside the door, and the palace lantern that had just been lit by a small eunuch were quietly showing his spirit. Today, he suddenly mentioned the issue of officer training, which made him feel that if he implemented this policy too hasty, some officers would feel resentful from now on, so Zhao Xu felt that he should consider this issue more comprehensively.

"Xiao Douzi, go quickly and Zhou Tong will find it back. I have something to say." Zhao Xu suddenly said

"Sister obeys the order."

"Central Officer." Zhao Xu said

"I am here, what is your majesty's order?" A young eunuch came over and said to Zhao Xu. The secretary was a eunuch who usually had some imperial edicts for the emperor, made a record, and had a pen and other eunuch's official position. He usually had nothing to do in the palace, just followed the emperor around, and the emperor recited a poem and wrote a right thing, and it was the eunuch's official position to record it. Now, Zhao Xu called him

"Central, what I want to say later, you must record carefully and do not have any deviations."

"I obey the order, please rest assured by your majesty."

Fortunately, Zhou Tong didn't go far, so Xiao Douzi ran out quickly and soon chased Zhou Tong back.

"I don't know what instructions did Your Majesty ask me to come back." Zhou Tong knew that Zhao Xu asked them to leave and then asked them back. There must be something suddenly. Otherwise, Zhao Xu would not have called himself back. So Zhou Tong did not politely as soon as he entered the door, and asked directly at Zhao Xu with fists and fists at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu is not a person who likes nonsense. When he saw Zhou Tong coming in, he said to him directly: "The many generals of my Song Dynasty, even generals of the commander-in-chief, whether they are generals of land war, navy generals, and all the methods of combat in all the generals seem to be too general. Take Lu Junyi as an example. This is your proud disciple. I also plan to serve as the next Minister of War after you. However, his methods of military use come from you, which means that you will also have these problems. The troops are too general. For example, in field battles, plain wars, mountain wars, jungle wars, marching encounters, and battlefield defense wars, even in the past, these tactics were very different. Now, with the addition of artillery, it has even begun to popularize widely throughout the army. Many young generals and students have come into contact with them, even the palm of their hands.

I have mastered the specific application of these artillery and cooperated with many military branches, but what about the leading generals who have never learned before? They only know how much specific knowledge they have learned in the Ministry of War, mortars, cavalry artillery, infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and even heavy artillery. How many specific knowledge have they learned? There is almost no. So, summon them back to the capital in batches, just let them go to Beijing to report their duties, and don’t let them go to the military academy to study directly. They all look arrogant, so test them first. All the staff of your General Staff will assess them this time, take them to the palace, and all the terrain of our country and even the surrounding countries will assess them. I want to see your General Staff completely smash the shells of these guys who are above the top, otherwise they will go to the military academy to study honestly?"

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I am not able to do this. When I go back, I will divide and deal with it in detail." Zhou Tong bowed to Zhao Xu and said,

"I've really finished talking this time, you can go back."
