In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 184 Then Yue Fei is still on empty pay
For a few days, Zhao and Rui sent people to visit the fifteen armies of the Imperial Guard in the capital, and promoted a group of new commanders and above. A large number of those who had not been promoted in the past five to ten years were promoted first.

At the same time, they took away many generals of the Forbidden Army who had been relatively successful in the past five to ten years. Regardless of whether they were Xia Dang or not, they were all counted as Xia Dang.

In the end, a group of substitutes were promoted from the original Forbidden Army. These people were basically military generals who had not been promoted for many years.

The whole process went very smoothly.

The emperor wants to set up a pro-army, Lin'an Forbidden Army knows, everyone is looking forward to joining the emperor's pro-army, who will follow you to make trouble.

From the beginning of March, the emperor's pro-military battalion was formally established, and began to recruit from the imperial army first, and the treatment was favorable.

All departments of the Forbidden Army began to sign up one after another.

Through a simple assessment, mainly drawing a bow, riding a horse, running, running in armor, etc., priority is given to those who can read and write.

This means that once the recruitment is over, the title of the Forbidden Army that followed the Song Dynasty for more than 200 years will disappear.

The Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty is in the hands of Zhao Yurui, and a new army will be formed to replace it.

All the forbidden troops who were not selected, the emperor asked to be assembled first, and there were other uses, and the monthly money was raised from five hundred to eight hundred, first to consistent.

In this way, the forbidden soldiers who were not selected were not too disappointed, because the emperor said later that they would be reused and their salaries would be increased.

Early March.

Shi Miyuan pleaded guilty at the court that the golden elixir was poisonous, but he didn't know it, so he blamed it on Qiu Chuji.

The emperor dispatched him to Lingnan, but in fact he was sent to Jeju Island, along with Xia Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the original hall.

Before Xia Zhen left, he wrote a special letter to Zhou He, commander of the Jiankang Horse Army Division, and he was very cooperative with Zhao and Rui.

Shi Miyuan also wrote several letters, including to Zhao Shanxiang, Zhao Rushu, Shi Songzhi and other local military and political officials.

In return, most of the family members of these two people stayed in the capital and did not have to go to Jeju Island to suffer.

This is much better than the history party. Others were sent to Jeju Island by their family members, and they stayed in the Taoist Temple of the capital and were confined.

The generals and their family members who were captured in this mutiny will be dispatched to Jeju Island together with Xia Zhen and Shi Miyuan.

After many people arrived, they found that they were actually arranged as workers, helping to build houses and doing coolies on Jeju Island.

But it's no use regretting it now.

The third day of March.

Brothers Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui came to the capital by order.

The two brothers did not hesitate after receiving the imperial decree, and immediately rushed to the capital. When they got home, they almost fainted.

It is said that the two stupid sons of his family rushed into the imperial city with the Cuju team and helped the emperor to overthrow Shi Miyuan.

Brothers Zhao Ping and Zhao Mo proudly showed off to their respective fathers. They also said how much money they got each month when they did business with the emperor, and they helped the emperor a lot this time.

Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui looked at each other, dumbfounded.

When the two were in Ningzong, they hugged Shi Miyuan's thigh tightly, and sent all memorials to Shi Miyuan instead of Ningzong.

It was the same when Zhao and Rui ascended the throne.

Both of them can be regarded as half of the historical party.

It's just that he didn't expect the emperor to overthrow Shi Miyuan and drag his stupid son into the water.

As soon as the two brothers came together, they had to seek refuge with the new emperor.

First of all, he scolded the two stupid sons, tore up the business contract signed with the emperor, and returned all the business shares to His Majesty.

The faces of the two idiots turned dark immediately, but there was nothing they could do. That afternoon, the emperor summoned the two of them after he came down to court.

When Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui arrived at the Chui Gong Hall, they found that there were still many people present, many of whom they did not know.

After a while, Xu Fei, a servant of fifteen or sixteen years old, came out and shouted: "Xuan Huaidong's deputy envoy to appease and also know Zhao Fan in Yangzhou."

Then he reported a few more names, but Zhao Fan didn't pay attention.

But when everyone walked in together, Zhao Fan found that there were civil servants and generals.

He had never seen the emperor before, he raised his head first when he entered, and finally saw Zhao Yurui, then quickly lowered his head, thinking that the emperor is really young and powerful, he beat Shi Miyuan upside down in one night.

He was a little scared, for fear that the emperor would also regard him as a historical party.

Zhao Yurui was immersed in Zhao Fan's resume.

The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China has sent Zhao Fan's job resume and evaluation to him. Initially, Zhao Fan is still a civil servant, and he is far inferior to his younger brother Zhao Kui in fighting.

After Zhao Fan came in, he first followed the others to meet His Majesty. The emperor was very kind and asked them to stand up first, and then told him to sit down.

After he got up, he realized that there were many stools on the scene.

He was a little afraid to sit down, but the others chose a seat one after another.

Everyone seemed unwilling to sit too close to the emperor, and when Zhao Fan reacted, only the front seat was vacated.

He secretly regretted it. He knew that his reaction was quicker, so he could only bite the bullet and sit on the first one.

After the emperor sat down, he smiled and said, "I'll introduce you. The people sitting here today are all people I can trust."

The emperor's first words made Zhao Fan feel a lot more at ease.

Then he was acquainted with the people at the scene.

There are Chen Feng, Quan Si, Li Pingshan, Yan Kang, Wei Jinsi, Chen Dong, and Wei Zhong.

The emperor introduced him very carefully. Zhao Fan knew that Chen Feng and Quan Si were the emperor's confidantes. Li Pingshan was the younger brother of the commander-in-chief Li Pingxia. Yan Kang was originally an official of the Qingyuan Mansion. The deputy commander, Wei Zhong is the commander of the imperial army.

After the introduction, the emperor waved his hand, and a servant sent sheets of paper to everyone.

皇帝接着道：“建康地区下辖上元、江宁、句容、溧水、溧阳五县。孝宗乾道二年(1166)，载入官方统计的农田有“770七万二千860三亩”。到了嘉定17年（即去年），变为“430四万一千640三亩三角26步。”

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, Zhao Fan was shocked.

"I don't care why so many fields are gone. Zhao Fan, after you go there, do you have the confidence to get these fields back?"

Zhao Fan turned pale with shock, only then did he know that the emperor wanted him to know the Jiankang Mansion, of course he dared not refuse, and immediately knelt down and said: "I obey the order, I will definitely do my best."

The last four words are quite bitter, because I don't know how difficult it is.

Would Zhao Fan not know about the serious land annexation in the Southern Song Dynasty?His Zhao family also has thousands of acres.

"Zhao Aiqing, you don't have to worry. I and these ministers are your backing. If there is any problem, we can solve it together. Even if it fails, I won't blame you."

"I dare not, thank you Your Majesty." Zhao Fan felt better.

The emperor said again: "The records of the Privy Council show that Jiankang Mansion has the Tenth Army of the Horse Army Division with nearly 3 personnel, the Fourth Army with 8000 personnel stationed in the local area, and another 1 people in the Yuqian Navy."

"This is just a superficial figure. I actually estimate that the number of staff is [-], and the actual number can be [-]."

Zhao Fan lowered his head and thought to himself, I am everywhere in the Song Dynasty, and I am basically on empty pay, so Yue Fei is also on empty pay.

The emperor went on to say that after Wei Zhong passed away, he immediately took over the Ma Junsi.

Zhao Fan looked at the small note, which said that the Jiankang Horse Army Division and other soldiers and horses on Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road would be combined into the Jiangnan Capital Division of the Great Song Dynasty, and ten armies would be established, each with 6000 soldiers, a total of 6 people.

If it is not enough, they will be recruited in place, and the Jiankang Navy will set up the Jiangnan Navy and three armies, under the temporary control of Chen Dong, with a total of 8000 people.

Jiankang's navy and land armies totaled 8000 people.

As for how to change it, the emperor directly told him, you don’t need to worry about it. When you go to Jiankang, you will be in charge of civil affairs and logistics. For the military, Wei Zhong, Li Pingshan, Chen Dong, Yu Jie and others will be handed over.

Zhao Yurui talked a lot that day, and wrote a lot on the note. Zhao Fan read and listened to it, and was very shocked by the emperor's generosity.

Jiankang was originally the seat of Zhizhi Division on Jiangnan East Road, and Zhao Fan was the Zhizhi envoy to know Jiankang Mansion.

However, the functions and settings of the entire Zhizhi Department have been changed a lot, and the original Appeasement Department and Transshipment Department of the Jiangnan Two Roads have all been cancelled, and their functions have been merged into the Zhizhi Department.

However, the system envoy in the Southern Song Dynasty was originally the head of the local military and political leaders, but now the emperor only gave Zhao Fan civil affairs, and the military power was deprived.

The emperor merged the military units of Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road into Jiangnan Dusi.

The capital is located in Jiankang.

When Zhao Fan saw the emperor for the first time, he felt that the emperor really had means, and the restructuring was quite strong. Not only did he deprive the military power of the envoys, but he also reorganized the two armies in the south of the Yangtze River.

And as the head of civil affairs, after he left, the task was still relatively heavy. The emperor said that the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River would be used as a pilot to reform the system. If Zhao Fan can do a good job, he can be conferred a knighthood (above the state-level), and will not be demoted. The second generation of hereditary, Zhao Fan's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he was quite excited.

There were too many titles in the Song Dynasty, and they were more generous than those in the Ming Dynasty. Various marquises were awarded without money, and some people were granted titles by kings, but they could not be hereditary.

The emperor promised to be hereditary and pass on to the second generation, which is unprecedented.

But in Zhao Fan's eyes, the title is not important, what is important is the wealth of his sons and grandchildren, which means that the emperor also agreed.

However, how to reform the system is also very complicated. First of all, the establishment department must correspond to the capital center and establish various branches.

Including the Military Division, Household Division, Criminal Division, Ritual Division, Engineering Division, and Official Division, and then the Taxation Division, Commercial Division, Firearms Division, and Ship Division were added.

"Chen Feng is appointed as Si Langzhong (the sixth grade)."

"Strive to recruit the craftsmen from the east and the west of the entire south of the Yangtze River." (Every state and county will have corresponding workshops. In the future, craftsmen will work together in various places, and they will all be staffed.)
"Imperial court editors and artisans are officials. Officials perform well, work well and make no mistakes. After three years, they can choose the best to be promoted to supervisors and become officials. After three years, they can be appointed as officials close to the people."

The emperor made a big move when he came up, to recruit craftsmen, and then set them as permanent staff, and he can directly become an official in the future.

The craftsmen are assigned uniformly by the engineering department, some will be assigned to the firearms department, some may be assigned to the shipbuilding department, etc., the monthly payment is three guan, and each household is given two monthly rations. In addition, there is an annual assessment. Artisan activities are prohibited for life.

Zhao Fan's face turned dark, so he had to ask the emperor: "This is equivalent to the imperial court supporting craftsmen?" How much food does the imperial court have to spend?
Soldiers don't do that.

The emperor gave copper coins, which were worth more than a dozen coins. The craftsmen's family was small, and they could live well with only three coins and two stones of grain, unless the family had a large population.

"Yes, I want to support artisans."

Where did so much money come from?Zhao Fan even had a headache when he thought that Jiankang would have to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
