However, these 70 thousand people are certainly not the end, but a starting point.
On the day of the completion of Zhao Shen’s 70,000-person recruitment plan, an ambitious 10,000-person recruitment plan was put forward, demanding that the size of the army be restored to that before the First Song War in two years.
And with the implementation of this plan of recruiting 10,000 people, the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court also began to announce the convening of a special military exercise to recruit talented people with courage and skills for the society.
If you pass the exam, you can directly award military posts and generous benefits.
At the same time, the questions in the official imperial examination began to be biased towards military strategy
In addition to the issue of Confucian classics, Zhao Shen asked palace examination to select military talents from the candidates who took the imperial examination.
Zhao Shen also recruits military talents for officials who have become officials, and prepares to expand the size of the Privy Council on a large scale, giving the Privy Council more efforts to cheer up the Privy Council, and by the way, cheer up the military in the Southern Song Dynasty
With the implementation of a series of new policies, more and more military talents have entered the Privy Council, and their professional level has been guaranteed.
Zhao Shen was finally dissatisfied with Zhou Lin’s conservative military strategy and prepared to adopt a more radical military strategy to counter the threat posed by the country.
This Zhao Shen sent Chen Kangbo, who returned from the diplomatic mission, and Zhou Lin, who led the Privy Council, to a position to exchange orders. Zhou Lin was asked to take charge of the political affairs and Chen Kangbo was asked to take charge of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhou Lin this ruthlessly relieved Chen Kangbo is somberly took the mission.
After Chen Kangbo returned to Lin ‘an, he gave Zhao Shen a detailed report on all his experiences and experiences with the embassy countries.
Zhao Shen was uneasy when he learned of a series of changes in the country.
Knowing that Su Yonglin tried to interfere in the political affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Shen was really angry and frightened and immediately rejected this proposal.
"I still wonder why Su Yonglin suddenly showed kindness. I didn’t expect him to be so vicious in an attempt to win the hearts of the people in the Song Dynasty and interfere in the political affairs of the Song Dynasty. It is extremely hateful!"
Zhao Shen growled, "It seems that Su Yonglin will die after all!"
Chen Kangbo nodded his head.
"Although my country will die, they still have a lot to do after all. They need a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Yellow River. It is unlikely that our enemy will go south in the short term."
"Didn’t you say they couldn’t fight because of the Yellow River?"
Zhao Shen whispered, "This kind of thing can’t be misjudged or Dasong will be very dangerous."
Chen Kangbo nodded his head.
"Of course, I know, but DaSong is a big country after all, and I know that invading DaSong in the south is not tens of thousands of troops. How can it be? If you plan to destroy DaSong, don’t you send 50,000 or 60,000 people? It is unimaginable that there is still an unfinished big project behind this situation. "
Chapter 16 Zhao Gou doesn’t come back
Chen Kangbo analysis let Zhao Shen nodded his head in agreement.
"It is said that the country will not go south in a big way before the completion of the Yellow River project?"
"Exactly. This is why the emperor will come up with a strategy of reducing the annual currency. This is just a test for him by the old minister, and his reaction is not unexpected."
Chen Kangbo held his head high as if his country had won a great diplomatic victory.
He has never been silenced by Su Yonglin in the temple of all peoples in Zhongdu.
He won’t think about that kind of thing, let alone say it-
Of course, Yu Yunwen and Lu You and all those who have experienced it will not say it.
"xianggong has worked hard."
Zhao Shen got up with some strength and walked up to Chen Kangbo and patted him on the shoulder. "It must be very hard to go abroad this time, right?"
Chen Kangbo shook his head.
"It’s not hard to do things, but it’s better to say that after seeing what happened in China, I feel more and more that Dasong must strive for self-improvement and self-respect to save the situation, resist the attack of the country and resist the day when it comes to self-destruction."
"Well, that makes sense."
Zhao Shen wanted to think, frowning and asked, "Are there really no military guards on their construction site? How can Qianshou and the imperial court be so harmonious? Are they really willing to give them meat? Pay back?
That’s enough. They still want to popularize it? Li Shu, the leader of Guizhou, should also teach them to read? What? What’s in it for them? And even if everything aside, where did they get so much money? "
Zhao Shen is reluctant to believe what has happened in China.
He doesn’t want to believe that the country is really improving the living environment of the people in Guizhou, and what they consider has won their approval and support.
I don’t want to believe that all this is a new change brought about by Su Yonglin’s razing of the old rentier class.
This situation will never happen in the Southern Song Dynasty, nor will he think so. He wants to punish corrupt officials and gain more momentum, and he will never want to make any Su Yonglin-style changes.
That will definitely cost him his throne.
After all, Zhao Gou is still alive, and Zhao Ji’s sons are still alive. He is not the only heir to the throne. If ministers want to join hands, they can change the world.
Zhao Shen wouldn’t think so, and Chen Kangbo certainly wouldn’t think so.
