Song Menghualu: Marrying Zhao Pan'er at the beginning

"Old Jia, go to the Privy Council immediately and get all the information about the Imperial Army!"

Lao Jia suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Call them all here?"

"Da Song has 80 forbidden troops, do you want all of them?"

80 is indeed a bit much.

But Gao You knew that there must be a lot of water in it.

Since the officials gave themselves the opportunity to form an army.

Then you must catch yourself!

He intends to take the opportunity to form a truly elite force!

8000 people is not too many, but it is not too many, if it is used in key places.

It can even influence wars between countries.

"take them all!"

Gao You stared at Lao Jia: "In addition, you mobilize all our spies to find out about the masters in the armies of all parties!"

"This time the officials have allowed us to select people from across the country!"

"You have to get me all the good soldiers!"

Lao Jia didn't speak immediately, but after pondering for a few seconds, he asked, "Master!"

"Do we really want to pick people across the country?"

Gao You raised his head in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Lao Jia said seriously: "The government has expanded the Imperial City Division to 9000 people!"

"This is not a small force, and it is not controlled by the three yamen!"

"The right to deploy troops, the right to command troops is nominally in the hands of the officials!"

"But it's actually in our hands!"

"If the power of the Imperial City Division is too strong, it will arouse the fear of the court and officials!"

"Even if the young master is favored by that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end well!"

It turned out that Lao Jia was worried that the officials would fear him.

This is also normal.

After all, Lao Jia didn't know his father-son relationship with the officials.

These 9000 people are said to be from the Imperial City Division.

It is better to say that it is the guards arranged by the officials for themselves.

Gao You smiled and looked at Lao Jia: "I understand your worry!"

"But don't worry, the officials will not fear us!"

Lao Jia frowned, completely unable to understand Gao You's self-confidence.

Gao You smiled and patted Lao Jia on the shoulder: "I will communicate with the officials about this matter! 500"

"Let the 8000 people expanded by the Imperial City Division be stationed in Shili Town!"

"Unless special circumstances require the use of manpower, they will only be allowed to enter the city after consulting the officials!"

"Let them stay in the barracks at ordinary times!"

"In this way, the imperial court will not pay too much attention to this team of 8000 people!"

Stationing the army outside the city, the officials can indeed feel relieved.

Lao Jia nodded: "If that's the case, then there's no problem!"

"I will arrange manpower to select soldiers nationwide in a while!"

Gao You looked at Lao Jia: "Do you know the Jingsai Army?"

"of course I know!"

Lao Jia raised his head with fascination: "That was the most powerful cavalry unit in Song Dynasty!"

"Although there are only 3000 people, each of them has five horses and can drive a hard bow of two hundred catties!"

"Back then, they faced 20 elites of the Liao Kingdom, and they defeated the Liao army in World War I..."

Gao You smiled and interrupted Lao Jia: "Then do you know where the Jingsai Army went?"

Before crossing, Gao You always thought that Song Dynasty had no cavalry.

It wasn't until two days ago that he heard the name of the Jingsai Army. He didn't expect that Song Dynasty had such a powerful army.

But then it disappeared!

Lao Jia sighed: "The Jingsai Army has been split up!"

"At the beginning, the Jingsai Army was too strong, and the officials were afraid, and the generals from all walks of life were also envious of the fighting power of the Jingsai Army!"

"So the Jingsai Army was dismantled into various squads and became the personal soldiers of various generals!"

"In the end, there are 1000 people left, and they are currently belonging to the Black Knights!"

Black Knights!

This is the army most trusted by the officials, and it is directly under the Dianqian Division.

Gao You really wanted to take the 1000-strong Jingsai Army into his pocket, but a gentleman doesn't take away people's love!

The official family only has such a little wealth to protect themselves.

Gao You was really embarrassed to ask for it.

312 Pan'er recruits masters, the Sheng family's school entrance banquet

"never mind!"

Gao You sighed.

Lao Jia looked at Gao You puzzled: "What the young master is talking about?"

"Forget about the Black Knights!"

Gao You smiled: "That's the treasure of the official family, let's not worry about it!"

"Go and get people to pay attention to the scattered Jingsai Army, and all you can find will be transferred to the Imperial City Division!"

Lao Jia frowned: "Young Master, the Jingsai Army happened 30 or [-] years ago!"

"Except for the 1000 members of the Black Cavalry Imperial Army who are direct descendants of the Jingsai Army, they have been carefully cultivated!"

"You can still have seven or eight percent of the fighting power of the year!"

"The rest of the scattered Jingsai army may be over fifty or sixty years old. Even if they are recruited, they will have no combat effectiveness!"

Gao You smiled and waved his hands: "I didn't intend to let them go to the battlefield either!"

"We recruit [-] cavalry, we need a lot of instructors!"

"This Jingsai Army is the best instructor!"

Hear this.

Lao Jia opened his eyes wide as if a duck had been choked by his neck, and was speechless for a long time.

Gao You stared at Lao Jia puzzledly: "Speak directly if you have something to say?"

"Master!"

Lao Jia looked at Gao You nervously: "Eight Thousand Cavalry, are you kidding me?"

"Let's not talk about where the horse comes from. Can the officials agree if they know?"

Gao You smiled: "The imperial decree of the government didn't say whether the 8000 people in the Imperial City Division were cavalry or infantry?"

"No!"

Lao Jia shook his head.

Gao You stood up and patted Lao Jia on the shoulder: "Since the officials didn't say it, then train them as cavalry!"

"I won't talk to you about the specifics!"

"You go and arrange manpower to recruit soldiers nationwide, remember to be elite soldiers!"

Lao Jia sighed: "The elite soldiers are fine!"

"But eight thousand cavalry, even if each has one horse, we still need eight thousand horses!"

"Where can I get this horse?"

Horses are indeed a problem.

There is currently no qualified horse breeding land in Song Dynasty.

Most of the horses running on the road were imported from Xixia and Liao.

War horses are strategic resources.

If Gao You buys in large quantities, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the two countries.

Even the two countries will directly refuse the transaction.

"I'll figure it out!"

Leave a word.

Gao You got up and went straight out of the room, and quickly returned to the Earl's Mansion.

Just got in.

Gao You was pulled aside by Zhao Pan'er to check carefully: "Is the officer all right?"

"fine!"

Gao You smiled and shook his head: "Didn't I tell Xiaobai to come back and tell you!"
