Su Shi was a little curious about Zhao Kai's purpose for this trip.
Without waiting for Zhao Kai to reply, the green-faced beast Yang Zhi stood up with an excited expression.
"Of course. There are many forces and rebels in the Great Song now. The soldiers can't do anything to them. Tong Guan had the greatest responsibility. There were even rumors among the people that the soldiers were not as useful as the militia of some local forces. For example, Zhu Village, Zengtou City…"
"In the northern battlefield, Tong Guan led a hundred thousand soldiers of the Imperial Army and was beaten to a pulp by the Liao Kingdom. They fled in panic and still have the face to ask for rewards from His Majesty? He really doesn't care about his face."
"That's why I say, why don't we take out a portion of the Imperial Army's pay and train in Juxian Village. If the Jin and Liao really attack us, we will have the troops of Juxian Village, which is better than relying on those useless Imperial Guards.”
Yang Zhi's words caused Lin Chong and Wang Jin to blush.
These two were the instructors of the 800,000-strong Imperial Army. Saying that the Imperial Army was useless and unreliable was a slap to their faces.
However, they were too ashamed to refute.
Indeed, the 800,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty did not have much combat power.
Of course, all of this was not something that the two little Imperial Army instructors could control.
Zhao Kai nodded after hearing Yang Zhi's words.
"Zhen understands your thoughts. We do need to train the troops in Juxian Village. Those treacherous officials were unreliable, but they couldn't be touched yet.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
When everyone heard that Zhao Kai knew that those people were treacherous officials, they instantly relaxed.
As expected, His Majesty was His Majesty. Everything was under control.
There must be a reason for appointing these treacherous officials.
As generals, they only needed to pledge loyalty.
"If there's any news in the martial arts world recently, share it.”
Zhao Kai sat on the main seat and said.
Although he had returned to the throne, he was most interested in the rumors in the martial world.
"The news that has received the most attention in the Song Dynasty recently should be the newly held martial arts examination after His Majesty ascended the throne.”
"Oh? Speaking of which, there were less than ten days left until the martial arts examination. Which young talents do you think will be able to become the martial arts champion of our Great Song Dynasty?”
Zhao Kai was interested.
After he ascended the throne, he issued an edict to select the martial arts champion.
Because he knew that in the current Song Dynasty, treacherous officials were in power.
However, there were countless talents with extremely high potential among the people of the Song Dynasty.
Not only treacherous officials, but also some virtuous officials and famous generals.
Perhaps a martial arts champion selection would be able to select some young talents with potential.
At this moment, Chong Lin stood out.
"Your Majesty, I have a junior brother who has inherited all the teachings of my master. His name is Yue Fei, and his surname is Peng Ju. He has been well-read since he was young and is skilled in both literature and martial arts. In the future, he will definitely become a general of our Great Song Dynasty.”
"Yue Fei…"
Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes.
He had really found a talent.
Moreover, he was an extremely powerful talent.
Currently, each of the powerful empires had a super famous general that could intimidate the four directions.
The Great Qin Dynasty had the God of Killing Baiqi, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and many other famous generals.
The Western Han Dynasty had Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, who were known as the double walls of the empire, and many other famous generals.
The Great Tang also had the War God Li Jing, Li Ji, Yuchi Gong, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, and so on.
The Darming Dynasty's Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Qi Jiguang…
Every strong country would have many famous generals.
These generals not only had high martial cultivation, but they were also very good at leading troops to battle.
It could be said that he had won every battle.
Only the Great Song Dynasty did not have a famous general of this level.
Now, when Zhao Kai heard Yue Fei's name, his eyes lit up.
Yue Fei would definitely become a famous general in the Great Song Dynasty that was not inferior to the other dynasties.
In the future, if the world were to evaluate the rankings of famous generals, it wouldn't be too much for Yue Fei to be ranked in the top three.
It was just that the current Yue Fei was still a young talent and had yet to grow to that level.
"Since Yue Fei is Grandmaster Zhou Tong's last disciple, he will definitely serve our Great Song in the future.”
"Your Majesty, I also have someone who recommended it."
Seeing Lin Chong recommend his junior brother, the Green-faced Beast Yang Zhi was a little unconvinced.
"Yang Zhi, go ahead."
"Your Majesty, you know that I, Yang Zhi, am the descendant of a branch family of the Yang Family in the Great Song. In our branch family, there happens to be a younger generation of my nephew who is more talented than me. His martial arts was definitely not inferior to Yue Fei!”
"Is this nephew of yours called Yang Zaixing?”
Zhao Kai asked.
"Your Majesty can even guess this. It's precisely this child. His Yang Family Spear Art is no longer inferior to mine, and it's certain that he will surpass me in the future.”
"The descendants of the Yang Clan's branch families must be very outstanding. Unfortunately, the Yang Castle is not of my use yet.”
Speaking up to this point, Zhao Kai could not help but shake his head.
The Yang Clan of Yunzhou.
They were the top martial arts aristocratic families in the Great Song.
The old patriarch, Yang Ye, was known as Yang Wudi.
His cultivation base was extremely profound, reaching the late-stage of the first-stage Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Ten years ago, Yang Ye had fought a decisive battle with Song Que, the leader of the Song Clan in the Southern Ridge of the Great Sui Empire.
In the end, it was a tie.
This decisive battle also confirmed the two people's titles of " The World's Greatest Spear " and " The World's Greatest Saber ".
Yang Ye's many children also had profound martial arts cultivation.
There were five Rank One experts in the entire Yang Castle.
This was not only the top martial arts aristocratic family in the Great Song, but also the top in the entire Nine Provinces.
Originally, the Great Song Empire was under the pincer attack of the Great Liao and Great Jin.
However, it was precisely because of Yang Wudi and his wife, She Saihua, as well as the many good sons of the Yang family, who were stationed in Yunzhou.
This would prevent the Liao Dynasty from attacking the Song Dynasty.
That was how the Song Dynasty was able to last until today.
Initially, the Yang Fortress was also part of the Song Dynasty.
However, later on, the Song Dynasty did something that let the Yang family down. In the end, the Yang family chose not to accept any transfer orders from the Song Dynasty.
He had to deal with the invasion of the Liao Dynasty in the north alone.
Zhao Kai admired his spirit.
"The Yang Clan Fort, the generals of the Yang Clan…it's the Great Song that owes the Yang Clan.”
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai could not help but sigh.
