Chapter 146
Seeing Shisanlang wearing iron armor and fifty cavalry, galloping around not far away, Su Shunyuan said: "Wearing with iron armor and horse belts, it is like this powerful soldier. If there are thousands of cavalry, it will be unrivaled in the north."
Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Tixing, there are tens of thousands of Yingtianxiang Army from Jingxi Road. I carefully selected the number of people wearing iron armor. There are less than a thousand people who can wear iron armor, and they can be said to be one out of a thousand. Among these people, only half of them can wear iron armor and dance swords and guns on horses. It is difficult for people to choose, and even more difficult for horses to choose. The Yingtian Affairs is a big yamen. I spared no expense, and even gave them all the horses I rode, which were only more than fifty. If you want to have thousands of horses, you can only gather all the good horses in the world if you choose from the imperial guards."
Su Shunyuan said: "The Xiang army was originally the ones left by the imperial guards. If they were selected from the imperial guards, they would be different."
Du Zhongxiao said: "When these people are skilled in practice and their iron armor can be flexibly and easily used, I will present them to the court at the end of the year and make them according to the law. If people can be selected from the imperial guards, it is also good to have an iron armor army in the court. I just don't know if there are so many horses."
Su Shunyuan shook his head: "I'm afraid there are not many of them in the imperial guards."
The iron-armored cavalry looks extremely majestic, but the cost is too high. It's nothing to cost. The Song Dynasty could afford money, but there were too few people and horses that could meet the requirements. Fortunately, the elite soldiers of the imperial guards were carefully selected and tall. Moreover, since the founding of the country, the court had intended to marry the elite soldiers of the imperial guards to women who grew up in their bodies. Most of their descendants joined the army. The Fourth Army and the Chinese squads were all tall and big, and there were many people who could wear iron armor. But there were really no way to do horses. The Song Dynasty had few horses, even fewer excellent horse breeds, and there were also fewer conditions to import good varieties from the Western Regions. There were not many horses that could bear such iron armor. There were all good horses in the world, and it was hard to say whether there were thousands of cavalry.
The excellent soldiers in this era have different figures than those in later generations. Later generations emphasize agility, which not only requires height, but also flexibility. They have developed muscles, strong waists, and no fat on their abdomen. This era is different, requiring wide shoulders and thick backs, strong strength, and flexibility requires different requirements. Many powerful generals actually have belly, and the so-called general's belly is also.
Shisanlang is talented, one or two taller than an ordinary person, with a strong body and infinite strength. When it comes to flexibility, he is actually not as good as Tao Shiqi. He relies entirely on his masters and does not let people get close to each other when fighting.
This is the best soldier. He stood on the battlefield like a wall. He stood there without moving in armor. Ordinary people could not do anything to him with weapons. There were so many thousands of people who were all wearing iron armor and could press over like mountains on the battlefield.
Of course, fighting is not a beast. With such an iron-armored cavalry, it is not necessarily a sure win. Winning and defeat are related to many factors. Simply comparing troops and weapons can determine the outcome. It has long been flattened by defeating Dangxiang, and Youyun Sixteen Prefectures have long been taken back.
After the demonstration, Shisanlang dismounted and brought his soldiers to the ceremony.
Du Zhongxiao said: "Your county will rest aside, let the horse eat grass for a while, and drink some water. I will talk to Sutixing."
Shisanlang sang a promise with his hands, took his men to unload the saddle and took it to the grass next to him.
Su Shunyuan said: "Yun Judgment now mostly works in training troops. I want to be fully engaged in the field affairs of the camp, so I don't have to worry too much. But according to the court's wishes, I still have to add a few officials. I wonder if my brother has settled the field affairs of the camp," he said.
Du Zhongxiao said: "It has been decided. I just cut the imperial examination and stayed in the west of Beijing. Because I avoided suspicion, I have never taken office."
Su Shunyuan sighed: "I have suffered countless hardships since the case of the Zuoyuan. I have finally recovered this time, so don't delay it. In a few days, I will go to Hedong Road to issue a sentence, and Yunshi will urge you to urge you again. My brother has arrived in the capital and waited for the palace. As long as I leave, I will assume that it is unhindered."
Du Zhongxiao nodded and agreed. Before he passed the Jinshi, Du Zhongxiao received favors from Su Shunqin. Later, he was in trouble and helped him. The land management is now extremely large, so it is certainly not enough for Du Zhongxiao and a chief Cui. The court decided to take charge of the business and replace Su Song, but there was no suitable candidate and there was no one there. A new lower business was set up, and Du Zhongxiao recommended Su Shunqin. It was already decided, but because his brother Su Shunyuan was appointed to the West Road of Jingxi, he was dragged there because he avoided suspicion.
In order not to delay the future of his younger brother, Su Shunyuan took the initiative to request the transfer. A few days ago, he ordered to be transferred to Hedong Road, and the execution of the Jingxi River was taken over by Zhang Shi'an. However, Zhang Shi'an delayed it and had not taken office yet, so Su Shunyuan could not leave, so he was very anxious.
Du Zhongxiao was the strategic judge of Hedong Road. Su Shunyuan came this time, one was to ask about the situation on Hedong Road, and the other was to ask Du Zhongxiao to take care of Su Shunqin. The case of Jinzhaoyuan a few years ago had a great blow to Su Shunqin. In recent years, he was indulged in mountains and rivers on the surface, but he had never let go of his heart. His body was not as good as before. He was just over forty and had a head full of white hair. When he arrived at Du Zhongxiao, he was in a cheerful mood and his body gradually improved.
The candidate for Su Song has not been decided, which is related to the expansion of the current field affairs. What is the order of the supervisor of official affairs? When Su Song held this position, he was equivalent to a magistrate, but it is definitely not possible now. Du Zhongxiao, the judge of the transfer of fortune, said that the order of the transfer of the fortunes is equivalent to a punishment all the way, and the order of the governor of the lower ones is equivalent to a prefecture. The supervisor of his official affairs is the highest, and usually the order of the governor of the county. The management of the land affairs manages more than 100,000 households, and it is impossible to say that a person with the governor of the county is responsible for specific affairs. This matter has always been tangled.
There was an opinion in the court that Du Zhongxiao was transferred from the transfer judge to the position of the prison, and at the same time, the establishment of the camp land. In this way, the order of in charge of official affairs could be raised. However, the camp land was always under the responsibility of the Transport Department, and this was inconsistent with the usual rules and was eventually rejected.
Du Zhongxiao knew this well and wanted to solve it. He was under thirty years old and had been in the Jinshi for less than ten years. The most important thing was that he did not have the qualifications to serve in the court, and the promotion encountered the ceiling. The matter of field business could not be relaxed. The current trend is that he had done well for a long time and could not change people frequently, delaying the matter. The judge's promotion and transfer service was not qualified, and it was too far away. He was responsible for the land business. After thinking about it, he could not take charge of the land business. After thinking about it, he remembered an official position in his memory and promoted Chang Ping. This should be the official position set up later. It is likely that it was the time of Wang Anshi's reform in history. Du Zhongxiao could not remember it clearly. As the name implies, this official position is closely related to the economy and is in line with the current Du Zhongxiao's identity.
A few days ago, Du Zhongxiao formally submitted a memorial, requesting the establishment of a Changping Office to be in charge of economic affairs along the way. The court has not responded yet.
Officials at the Song Dynasty's road level, whether they are transshipment commanders or punishments, all of them carry the power of supervisors as supervisors, and are called supervisors. This supervisory power is the key to road-level officials managing local prefectures and county officials. Without supervisory power, local officials will not pay attention to you at all.
The reason why we rely on supervision is that road-level officials have no direct superior-level relationships with prefecture-county officials, only affairs, but no crucial personnel power. The good or bad things done by prefecture-county officials, incompetent, promotion and demotion are decided by the central court. The road is different from the provinces in later generations. The provinces are superiors of prefecture-county officials, and can directly give orders. The road is not superiors, but just affairs offices, and cannot directly give orders to prefecture-county officials.
