"it is good!"

On the ring, a martial artist flew out and fell onto the ring. The winner proudly greeted the cheers of the audience on the ring.

"Go immediately to check his injuries, especially if there are any internal injuries!"

Fan Zheng did not pay attention to the victorious Wu Sheng, but focused on the injured Wu Sheng.

The next team of doctors immediately stepped forward to record the injuries of the defeated martial artist. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for doctors to observe blunt force injuries. I believe that after this martial arts exercise, the doctors' medical skills in treating internal injuries will be greatly improved.

When Zeng Bu saw this scene, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Fan Zheng never forgets to improve the medical skills of doctors.

However, he had to admit that Fan Zheng's medical skills were indeed excellent. The swords used in the martial arts competitions were not sharpened, and the whole body was covered with armor. However, during the competition, countless people suffered internal injuries and fractures.

In previous martial arts competitions, there were many cases of disability, serious injury or even death. Now with Fan Zheng and other famous doctors here, not a single martial arts student was harmed.

After rounds of fierce competition, Yang Bangyi, a descendant of the Yang family, finally won the title of Wu Zhuangyuan.

"In the past, there was "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" to promote the loyalty and patriotism of the Yang family. In the middle, there were suggestions to imitate the generals of the Yang family to form the generals of the Song Dynasty. Now there are suggestions to be both civil and military, supporting the descendants of the Yang family to win the top prize in martial arts! Fan Taicheng is too partial to the Yang family. Bar!"

With the end of the martial arts competition, the privy envoy Zeng Bu showed strange emotions.

Fan Zheng glanced at Zeng Bu in surprise and said, "Master Zeng is guarding against the general?"

Zeng Bu said without hesitation: "Although generals have made countless contributions to the Song Dynasty, their control of military power for generations may not be a blessing to the Song Dynasty."

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Then the imperial court should pay more attention to the martial arts examination and make it like the imperial examination to recruit talents for the Song Dynasty."

Zeng Bu sneered and said: "You think the imperial court does not pay attention to martial arts. During Renzong's time, martial arts was founded, and only a few people were recruited. It was abolished in just three months. Today's martial arts is only sponsored by Wang Xianggong alone. On such a scale.”

Fan Zheng countered: "If we want martial arts to flourish, we must eliminate discrimination against martial artists!"

Zeng Bu frowned, shook his head and said, "How difficult it is!"

Although he is a civil official, he is also a Privy Councilor, so he naturally knows how serious the conflict between civil and military forces is.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you and I don't do it, we will never be able to change the situation of poverty and weakness in the Song Dynasty. Although you and I have different positions, we are both half-military people, so naturally we have to do it." Change the current situation of the Song Army."

Zeng Bu frowned and said, "What do you want to do!"

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "It's very simple, step by step. Now the generals are both civil and military, temporarily alleviating the prejudice of civilian officials. The next step is the soldiers."

"Soldier?" Zeng Bu asked confused.

Fan Zhengdao: "Fan believes that the first thing that changed in the Song army was tattooing."

"Tattooing?" Zeng Bu's heart suddenly moved.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "During the prosperous period of the Han and Tang Dynasties, those who joined the army were often from good families, and improving social status through military exploits was considered the right path in life. Therefore, the Han and Tang Dynasties could intimidate the barbarians, and the Song Dynasty was known as a million-strong army. Most of the soldiers needed to have their faces tattooed, and the good men were ashamed to join the army, so most of them were vagrants and rogues from the countryside who joined the army. This is probably the real reason for the low combat effectiveness of the Song army."

Zeng Bu said helplessly: "It is a long-standing tradition in the army to get tattoos and join the army."

Even Di Qing, the military god of the Great Song Dynasty, joined the army because of tattoos. Later, he repeatedly made military exploits in the army, and finally rose to the rank of Deputy Privy Councilor. However, even so, the tattoos on his face were still a stain on his life.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "Tattooing has been a punishment since ancient times, used to deal with criminals. There was no precedent for soldiers to have their faces tattooed in the Han and Tang dynasties. Large-scale tattooing of soldiers began in the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. At the beginning, Zhu Wen gave his soldiers Tattoos were largely used to prevent soldiers from fleeing, and were later imitated by other separatist forces. Since the Song Dynasty has unified the world, there is no need for soldiers to flee, so there is no need for tattoos."

Zeng Bu shook his head and said: "Fan Taicheng doesn't know something. Soldiers are selected because they are sent to the army for crimes, and most soldiers only need to have tattoos on their arms and other hidden places to distinguish the soldiers' numbers and affiliations. "

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Lord Zeng knows it, Fan knows it too, and even the scholar-bureaucrats in the Manchu Dynasty know it, but do the people of the world understand it? The soldiers of the Song Dynasty suffered from discrimination, and the people called the soldiers thieves to join the army. A good man did not want to Joining the army and getting tattoos have shaken the foundation of soldiers in the Song Dynasty and are the biggest cancer."

Zeng Bu shouted: "That's nonsense. The imperial court treats its soldiers very favorably. They are always given "rich rewards" such as copper coins and silk. Isn't this enough to make them serve the country?"

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Tattooed warriors have no military spirit. Tattoos on the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have already caused soldiers to suffer discrimination. An army without a military spirit, even if Sun Wu is alive, I am afraid there is nothing to do."

Zeng Bu frowned, but he didn't think so.

Fan Zheng said again: "Furthermore, Confucius once said that the hair, skin, and parents of the body should not be damaged. The princes in the Manchu Dynasty often talked about the saint's teachings, but why did they turn a blind eye to the practice of Qiong's face tattoo? Could it be that the Song Dynasty really You have to place your hopes on a group of people who are unfilial to their parents."

Zeng Bu was speechless. Fan Zheng used his spear to attack his shield. They scholar-bureaucrats were arrogant and talked about the way of saints. However, they ignored the dignity and honor of the soldiers. Now Fan Zheng used the way of saints to kill Zeng Bu. The fig leaf of scholar-bureaucrats fell.

"Tattooing is indeed not in line with the way of a saint. It's time to abolish it!" Zeng Bu finally nodded. As a privy councilor, he naturally knew the situation of the military. It is true that many people are unwilling to join the army. If this is not changed, it will be a disaster. Big hidden danger.

Immediately after the martial arts competition was over, Fan Zheng and Zeng Bu jointly wrote to the court to abolish the tattoo and tattoo system in the military.

Suddenly, the whole court was in an uproar.

The disagreement between Fan Zheng and Zeng Bu was well known throughout the court. Fan Zheng had publicly disgraced Zeng Bu when he mobilized 30,000 soldiers to set up a sugar cane farm. However, he did not expect that after a martial arts competition, the two of them would jointly submit a memorial. Reform the military system.

"Tattoos and tattoos! Can be so harmful!"

When Zhao Xu heard the report from the two men, he couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that the small tattoos were the main culprit for the low military force of the Song Dynasty.

"Only if the Song Dynasty treats them as soldiers of the country, the Song army will definitely serve the Song Dynasty to the death, but the Song Dynasty treats the soldiers as criminals and prisoners, how can the soldiers be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?" Zeng Bu said solemnly.

"Zeng Aiqing's words make sense." Zhao Xu's face was solemn.

All the officials in the court wanted to object, but they were speechless because their bodies and skin were trained by their parents' saints.

At present, the court passed the policy of abolishing the practice of soldiers joining the army and getting tattoos on their faces.

"The officials are wise!"

Zeng Bu couldn't help but feel slightly proud. Although Fan Zheng proposed this plan, he took the initiative to report it to the court, and most of the credit for it naturally fell on him.

However, Fan Zheng suddenly said: "For the record, the imperial court has abolished the policy of tattooing soldiers on their faces when joining the army. I'm afraid it will take twenty years for it to take effect. However, there are still a large number of tattooed soldiers in the army. I'm afraid. You will be discriminated against by the world for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to regain your military morale in a short time."

Zhao Xu sighed immediately. He also understood that what Fan Zheng said was the truth. However, the tattoo could not be removed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Fan Zheng changed his words and said: "I have a side, which can boost the morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and no longer be discriminated against by the world."

"Fan Taicheng, please speak!" Zhao Xu said with joy in his heart.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "I suggest that the imperial court should give honorary home plaques to the homes of soldiers all over the world. This will not only eliminate the world's prejudice against soldiers, but also win the hearts of soldiers all over the world."

"House of glory!"

Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up. Fan Zheng said that the medicine he offered could cure the disease. Everyone in the world ridiculed the soldiers as thieves who joined the army. Tattoos and tattoos were against filial piety. Now the court openly admitted that it was an honorable home. It could be said that it was a glorious home. At the court level, he rectified his name.

Zeng Bu's face darkened immediately. He thought he had gained the opportunity to abolish tattoos, but Fan Zheng used a small plaque to easily win over millions of soldiers, which made him feel embarrassed.
