After the training camp in early March, the new army entered the camp, and Zhao Bing also returned to the palace. According to the plan, the new army had to undergo a six-month basic training, and then re-divided the subjects according to the training results and preferences, and then received professional training. Although he no longer had to undergo military training every day like before, there were not many things, and they all needed to be handled one by one and made arrangements.

First, the victory of the northern expedition lasted a hundred days. They went deep into the enemy's territory for hundreds of miles, fought thousands of miles, captured more than ten prefectures, annihilated thousands of enemies, seized a large number of military supplies, and transferred tens of thousands of people. The territory they captured was quite large, but not many enemies were annihilated, mainly because the enemy lost huge losses in the early defense battle, and the troops of several prefectures were almost drained; in addition, after the large-scale mobilization of the enemy, the Northern Expedition Army withdrew in time, and there was no fierce battle between the two sides.

Although this battle to the north was more like a large mainland tour of the Song army, it has far-reaching political significance. After all, this was the fall of Lin'an and the first counterattack after the establishment of the Xingchao Dynasty, and the enemy's "flee" was defeated. From the perspective of inspiring people and expanding the influence of Xingchao Dynasty, it was extremely successful. Therefore, Zhao Bing still had to visit the dock in person to welcome the generals who returned from the northern expedition. In addition to expressing encouragement, he also expressed his attitude towards anti-Mongolia.

In addition, the influx of large numbers of immigrants has brought considerable impact to Qiongzhou. After all, Zhao Bing has only been operating here for three years and is still in the entrepreneurial stage. Although he has invested huge amounts of money to build infrastructure, develop mines, build water conservancy, and reclaim and colonize, it can be said that he has just digested the early immigrants to Qiong, which has insufficient resources for the tens of thousands of new immigrants who have poured in again, both from the infrastructure construction and material reserves in Qiongzhou.

But people have arrived, so we can't send them back! Zhao Bing knew that although this would bring considerable pressure to Qiongzhou in the short term, it would bring great momentum to Qiongzhou for development from a long time consideration. After all, in ancient times, the population was still the most important means of production, and of course it could also provide more reserve troops for the dynasty. Therefore, while urging the provinces and counties to do their best to resettle immigrants, he also went deep into the front line to appease and solve the problem. Even the Empress Dowager invested in setting up a porridge field at the wharf and the Fucheng to provide food for the immigrants, and led the palace maids to cook porridge for the immigrants and put porridge in person.

After nearly a month of busy schedule, the immigrants were finally placed before the rainy season arrived. Although it was not said that everyone was satisfied, it was safe and there was no big trouble. Zhao Bing then took the time to commend the meritorious officials in the two battles of the defense of Qiongzhou and the expedition to the north. According to the custom of the Song Dynasty, all those who hold officials and ministers were granted the title of Duke.

After Chen Yizhong left, Lu Xiufu was the position of left prime minister, but he didn't know whether he hoped Chen Yizhong would return or that everyone ignored this matter, but he had never been promoted to Duke. However, although Zhang Shijie was not removed from the position of Privy Council envoy because of the defeat in Yashan, he was removed from the title of Privy Council. However, Wen Tianxiang was also removed from the title of title because he was captured by the Yuan army. Therefore, it is extremely rare that the three prime ministers currently in court have no titles.

According to the provisions of titles in previous dynasties, the status of the One-character King is higher than that of the Two-character King. Among the One-character Kings, Qin, Qi and Wei were all major powers during the Warring States Period. Therefore, these kings are generally important kings. Others such as King Wei are small kings, which also applies to other titles. Zhao Bing considered that the Duke of the State was already a third-class title, but according to the provisions of the Song Dynasty, only the emperor's sons could be granted the princes and princes, and no kings were allowed to be granted the same surname.

However, there is an exception in the Huizong Dynasty. Tong Guan, the dead eunuch, was also named the prince for his achievements in recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. It may be because of the reason why he had no descendants to inherit. Therefore, Zhao Bing's battle to restore the country has not yet begun, and the three of them have reached the top of their titles and their titles are almost at the top. Will there be no titles in the future? Therefore, this time, he only restored the titles of Duke Wen Tianxiang Xin and Duke Zhang Shijie Yue, and added Lu Xiufu to Duke Lu.

Because the military reform has not yet been heard, Zhao Bing temporarily remembered the meritorious soldiers and only rewarded them but not enfeoffed them, leaving room for future reforms. Now the military reforms have actually been put on the agenda. Now the empress dowager has read and submitted them to the Secretariat for discussion. The most controversial one is the implementation of the official positions of parallel civil and military positions, and other aspects only need to be slightly revised. However, as those famous scholars joined the dynasty, when a new trend was brought, the current situation became subtle. They wrote letters to the empress dowager many times against the military reform.

However, Zhao Bing was not anxious. He realized that this was not just a matter of military reform, but it involved changing the national policy of the Song Dynasty for three hundred years, challenging the status of scholars, and it was definitely not something that could be changed overnight. At the moment, the warriors were declining, and if they wanted to point at them, they could only make a bloody purge, which would only touch the foundation of the ruling of the Song Dynasty. With his current ability, it would be difficult to complete the important task of governing the country, and he did not want to have a single dominant situation.

After such a long time of contact, Zhao Bing knew that the life of a military man was really hard to mess with. Civil officials and military generals were born enemies. If the civil servants did their jobs well, military generals would have nothing to do and would not be able to get any benefits. If the military generals made meritorious service, it means that the civil servants were a group of waste and caused the people to suffer misfortune. Therefore, civil officials usually say bad things about military generals and try their best to suppress military generals.

But military men are also individuals, and they are flesh and blood, but no one pays attention to them and are excluded by civil officials. After a few famous generals appeared, they all had a good ending. They either indulge in alcohol and sex, or die of frustration, or even die in prison. Rulers generally prefer to get close to civil officials because civil officials are obedient and easy to manage. If military generals rebel, this is the most difficult thing to do. Therefore, they value civil and suppress military officials, and use civil officials to control military officials.

Military generals are naturally half shorter than civil officials and are not dealt with in this way. In this way, they have to obey the leadership of the political enemy. The result can be imagined. In this political environment, military men regard serving as a means of survival as a means of survival, so that as long as the food and salary are not available, the result of the battle is often collapsed at once, and the army will disband before the battle is fought.

The quality of officers is also not satisfactory. Many of them joined the army. Because their ancestors became officials, they became officials, but their talents were far inferior to their ancestors. Some even couldn't even calculate how many soldiers, ships, and supplies they were under. So they couldn't fight at all. This is a typical example of fighting against the enemy without any means and disturbing the people. Not only in the Song Dynasty, but also looking at the entire history, the Chinese army had such a role most of the time. They ate the people and drank the people in the end. When they encountered problems, they ran faster than the people.

If he wanted to change this situation, Zhao Bing thought that military reform still needed to make people have a chance, and he understood why he was a soldier and ate food for whom he sacrificed his life. It is said that Wen Tianxiang advocated improving the status of a warrior, which may be due to his leadership of troops on the front line. He felt that the old man had been suppressing and expected this situation to happen before he could do it, so he waited until the Northern Army returned to the North. If he joined, he had gained an advantage. He only needed to wait until the two sides were quarreling, and then came forward to convene the court discussion to make a final decision.

By May, the rice sown in spring had been harvested, and the fields reclaimed by the immigrants had also sown seeds. In three months, the second season of grain could be harvested, and the deficit left behind by resettlement of immigrants was able to fill the gap left by resettlement of immigrants. Because the Qiongzhou navy intercepted the merchants from the Otu merchants to go abroad and confiscated their goods, some goods in Qiongzhou were oversupplied, Zhao Bing pushed these goods to the market, attracting the arrival of many vassal merchant ships. Other immigrants with a lot of family capital also saw the business opportunities, bought ships to go abroad, and joined the ranks of foreign merchants.

In addition, due to the "harassment" of the Northern Expedition Army, the Yuan navy was unable to compete with the Song navy for control. After Ali Hague "recovered" the lost territory, he reported the victory to Kublai Khan, and suggested that King Zhennan Huantuo adopt the strategy of sealing the sea, moving residents within 30 miles of the coast, and only dispatching heavy troops to guard the coastal prefectures to prevent the Song army from invading the territory again, and using this to separate the contact between the people in the mainland and Qiongzhou, which caused the court officials to worry, but Zhao Bing was not so pessimistic.

In Zhao Bing's view, the strategy of forbidding the sea was also a double-edged sword. While separating the inland connection with Qiongzhou, it also gave up control of a large area of ​​coastal land. Even if he arranged heavy troops in coastal prefectures and counties, he could not take care of the long coastline at all, nor could he build a coastal Great Wall to completely isolate the connection with Qiongzhou. Instead, it would form a power vacuum zone with a width of 30 miles along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi.

According to modern divisions, although the Song Dynasty lost a large area of ​​land and the capital was destroyed, the central government was still there and the head was still there. Even if there was only a corner of overseas, it could not be called a destruction of the country. It was only divided into a national-controlled area and an occupied area. However, these two areas were not strictly isolated areas. There were countless smugglers in the middle. They would closely connect these two areas through the transit markets of bandits and smugglers.

Qiongzhou now controls the Qiongzhou Strait, which is equivalent to shaking the trade routes from the mainland to the Western Yi and Southeast Asian countries, and also strangling the wealth of many people. Therefore, relying on the vast overseas market and the cheap sea salt in Qiongzhou will definitely attract countless adventurers who dream of making money to enter and exit this vacuum zone, and will also create a deformed prosperity. However, no matter who wants to open up this smuggling channel, it is impossible to do without giving Zhao Bing some benefits, because he is the actual controller.

Now, after more than a year of operation, the Affairs Bureau has established several smuggling caravans and established armed forces based on private salt dealers. Not only are they spread along the coastal areas, but they also extend their tentacles to the Yangtze River Basin. It can be said that as long as Zhao Bing coughs, the salt price in Jiangnan can quadruple. If he gets angry, there will be no salt in the Jiangnan market. Now their mission has changed from simply selling private salt to secretly establishing an anti-Yuan base. This 30-mile vacuum area will become a guerrilla area, and through this infiltration, connecting various strongholds into lines, expanding into pieces, and eventually becoming the actual control area of ​​Qiongzhou.

Of course, this plan cannot be achieved overnight, and it requires continuous improvement and construction. But now it can at least ensure that Qiongzhou obtains the required materials and earn money through these channels to support the development of Qiongzhou. In addition, Zhao Bing also plans to use these smugglers to purchase materials from the big ingot banknotes printed by the Affairs Bureau in the occupied areas, but no longer have to risk being arrested, and can continue to disrupt the economy of the Yuan Dynasty through the circulation of counterfeit banknotes...

"Ah..." The official documents on the case have been processed. Zhao Bing stretched and stood up and pushed open the window. The cool breeze with raindrops blew into the house, making him feel very comfortable and swept away the fatigue on his body.

After the busyness, Zhao Bing returned to the palace and got on track again. Now he practiced martial arts with Yuan Miao in the early morning. Perhaps the military life in the previous period also gave him the same training. There was no such thing as being lazy and unable to afford a bed. It was hard to practice regardless of the wind and rain. It surprised Yuan Miao, who was once disappointed with the little emperor, and it also made him feel strange. The little emperor's physical strength not only did not decrease compared to before, but also made great progress. In addition, the flexibility and coordination of his body have also improved greatly. Although he is still fat, he is not clumsy. What makes him even happier is that his personality has become more resolute and will not make excuses to be lazy, but will practice voluntarily.

After more than a month of restoration training on Zhao Bing, the old monk Yuan Miao began to teach him Taizu Changquan. Of course, this was not a firework or a deleted version of the later generations, but it was an authentic killing skill. Zhao Bing also discovered that the old monk really regarded himself as a descendant of Taizu, tortured him in different ways, and the ruler in his hand was almost interrupted. In addition to doing it himself, he also used Fa Qiao's disciples as a training partner. Almost every time he was sore all over by those bastards, and he did not treat himself as the emperor.

Of course, in addition to practicing martial arts, the three masters also began to teach in turn, but the lecture was dragged down by Zhao Bing. But Lu Xiufu, the child, also made trouble and insisted on holding a lecture in the scriptures. Finally, he got to the empress dowager and forced him to accept it. However, Zhao Bing still asked them to make a compromise, changing the lecture the next day to the lecture every five days, otherwise he would have been scolded by the empress dowager and refused to participate.

Thinking about this day, in addition to practicing literature and martial arts, he also had to review official documents. From time to time, he had to summon ministers to ask about the situation and discuss solutions, so he didn't have much time to freely move. After June, the war was settled and all the work was handled, so he was a little more leisurely. Now the rain is gradually increasing, but it is still hot and hard to bear, which makes him want to go to Boao Island to escape the summer heat. However, Zhao Bing thought about the remaining ministers and scholars who moved to Qiongzhou, he had only met twice since he went to the island. He did not discuss in detail and was not in a hurry to arrange work for them, but he asked them to form a group to do a trip around the island first.
